Gömör és Kishont County
Gömör-Kishont (, , ) was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its capital was Rimaszombat (present-day Rimavská Sobota). Its territory is now in southern Slovakia and northern Hungary.
# Geography.
Around 1910, Gömör-Kishont county shared borders with the counties Zólyom, Liptó, Szepes, Abaúj-Torna, Borsod, Heves and Nógrád. It was situated in the Gömör–Szepesi-érchegység (present-day Slovak Ore Mountains - Slovenské rudohorie) approximately between the present-day Slovak-Hungarian border, the towns Poltár and Rozsnyó (present-day Rožňava) and the Low Tatras (Hungarian: Alacsony-Tátra, Slovak: Nízke Tatry). The river Sajó flowed through the | 17,102 |
1401917 | Gömör és Kishont County | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gömör%20és%20Kishont%20County | Gömör és Kishont County
county. Its area was 4,279 km² around 1910.
# History.
The county Gömör-Kishont was a combination of the counties Gömör and Kishont. It existed from 1786 until the end of World War I, with an interruption from 1790 until 1802. Gömör is one of the oldest counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, and was already mentioned in the 11th century. Kishont is the territory approximately between the towns Tiszolc (present-day Tisovec) and Rimaszombat (present-day Rimavská Sobota). Counties of Gömör and Kishont was part of Ottoman Empire between 1541–1595 and 1605–1687.
In the aftermath of World War I, most of Gömör-Kishont county became part of newly formed Czechoslovakia, as recognized by the concerned | 17,103 |
1401917 | Gömör és Kishont County | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gömör%20és%20Kishont%20County | Gömör és Kishont County
states in 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon. The area around Putnok became part of the Hungarian county Borsod-Gömör-Kishont (currently part of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén). The Czechoslovak part of the county was part of the Slovak Land ("Slovenská krajina/zem").
Following the provisions of the First Vienna Award, most of the Czechoslovak part became part of Hungary again in November 1938. The Gömör-Kishont county was recreated. The small northernmost part that remained in Slovak hands (a.o. the towns Dobšiná and Revúca) became part of the new Hron county ("Pohronská župa"). The Trianon borders were restored after World War II. Since 1993, when Czechoslovakia was split, Gemer and Malohont have been part | 17,104 |

The Cruel Sea (1953 film)
The Cruel Sea is a 1953 British war film starring Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden, Denholm Elliott, Stanley Baker, Liam Redmond, Virginia McKenna and Moira Lister. The film, which was made by Ealing Studios seven years after the end of the Second World War, was directed by Charles Frend and produced by Leslie Norman. It is based on the best selling novel of the same name by former naval officer Nicholas Monsarrat, though the screenplay by Eric Ambler omits some of Monsarrat's grimmest moments.
# Plot.
The film portrays the conditions in which the Battle of the Atlantic was fought between the Royal Navy and Germany's U-boats. It is seen from the viewpoint of the British | 17,107 |
1401912 | The Cruel Sea (1953 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Cruel%20Sea%20(1953%20film) | The Cruel Sea (1953 film)
naval officers and seamen who served in convoy escorts. The film begins with a voice-over by Ericson (Jack Hawkins):
This is a story of the Battle of the Atlantic, the story of an ocean, two ships, and a handful of men. The men are the heroes; the heroines are the ships. The only villain is the sea, the cruel sea, that man has made more cruel...
Opening in the autumn of 1939, just as war breaks out, Lieutenant-Commander George Ericson, a British Merchant Navy officer in the Royal Naval Reserve, is recalled to the Royal Navy and given command of HMS "Compass Rose", a newly built intended for convoy escort duties. His sub-lieutenants, Lockhart and Ferraby, are both newly commissioned and without | 17,108 |

experience at sea. The new first lieutenant, James Bennett (Stanley Baker), is an abusive martinet.
Despite these initial disadvantages, the ship's company gains hard experience and becomes an effective fighting unit. At first their worst enemy is the weather, since German submarines lack the range to attack shipping far into the Atlantic. With the Fall of France, French ports become available to the Germans and U-boats can attack convoys anywhere in the Atlantic – making bad weather the convoys' greatest advantage. Germany is joined in the war by Italy, while the Spanish dictator Franco allows Axis U-Boats to use Spanish harbours. The first lieutenant is put ashore due to illness, the junior | 17,109 |

officers mature and the ship crosses the Atlantic many times escorting convoys, often in brutal weather. They witness the sinking of many merchant vessels they are charged with protecting and the tragic deaths of merchant navy crewmen. A key scene involves Ericson's decision to carry out a depth charge attack even though the blast will kill merchant seamen floating in the water. After close to three years of service, including one U-boat sunk, "Compass Rose" is herself torpedoed and her crew forced to abandon ship. Most of the crew are lost. Taking to a couple of liferafts, Ericson survives this ordeal along with his first lieutenant, Lockhart (Donald Sinden), and with the few crew left (including | 17,110 |

Ferraby) are picked up the next day.
Ericson is promoted commander, and together with Lockhart, his now-promoted "Number One", takes command of a new frigate, HMS "Saltash Castle". With Ericson leading an anti-submarine escort group they continue the monotonous but vital duty of convoy escort. Late in the war, while serving with the Arctic convoys, they doggedly pursue and sink another U-boat, marked as , "Saltash Castle"s only 'kill'. As the war ends the ship is shown returning to port, as guard to a number of German submarines that have surrendered.

# Production.
## Casting.
Although the role of the cowardly officer Bennett was an Australian in the book, the Englishman Donald Sinden was originally screen-tested for the part and the Welshman Stanley Baker was screen-tested for the part of Lockhart. Subsequently, at Jack Hawkins' suggestion and after further screen-tests, the roles were swapped.
## Filming.
The film was shot on location in Plymouth Naval Dockyard and the English Channel. Scenes showing the sailors in the water were shot in the open-air water-tank at Denham Studios. Other work was completed at Ealing studios. The | 17,114 |
1401912 | The Cruel Sea (1953 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Cruel%20Sea%20(1953%20film) | The Cruel Sea (1953 film)
brief scenes showing Petty Officer Tallow coming home on leave were filmed in Stepney, London. The crane jibs above the houses in the background were edited in as in reality, the docks were over a mile away.
Donald Sinden (playing Lockhart) suffered in real life from negative buoyancy, meaning that he was unable to float or swim in water, which was discovered while filming the sequence when the ship "Compass Rose" is sinking. Co-star Jack Hawkins (playing Ericson) saved him from drowning in Denham's open-air water-tank.
## Editing.
The most traumatic scene in the film occurs after a submarine has caused havoc to the convoy and the ASDIC (sonar detector) reveals that it is beneath a group | 17,115 |
1401912 | The Cruel Sea (1953 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Cruel%20Sea%20(1953%20film) | The Cruel Sea (1953 film)
of British sailors who are struggling in the water, hoping to be rescued. Ericson, faced with an appalling choice, drops the depth charges that will destroy the enemy but will also kill his countrymen. Yet for all his professionalism he is a human being and he later gets paralytically drunk and bares his feelings to Lockhart. Jack Hawkins, personally moved by the situation, delivered a fitting emotional performance and at the end of the scene tears were rolling down his face. Two days later, after seeing it cut together, Michael Balcon asked Charles Frend to re-shoot it with Hawkins keeping a grip on himself. It was played that way and Balcon pronounced it absolutely perfect. Then two days later, | 17,116 |
1401912 | The Cruel Sea (1953 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Cruel%20Sea%20(1953%20film) | The Cruel Sea (1953 film)
after another viewing, it was decided that a little emotion was needed after all; the scene was re-shot with just an odd tear or two and again the verdict was that it was now dead right. Hawkins was amused to note that in the final version of the film, the original first take was used.
In his second autobiography, Donald Sinden wrote:
## Ships.
"Compass Rose" was portrayed by the HMS "Coreopsis" (K32). The Admiralty had disposed of all its wartime corvettes, but "Coreopsis" was located in Malta by one of the film's technical advisers, Capt. Jack Broome DSC RN (who had been escort commander of the ill-fated Convoy PQ 17). "Coreopsis" had been loaned to the Hellenic Navy and renamed "Kriezis", | 17,117 |

and was awaiting a tow back to England and the breaker's yard. "Compass Rose" carries the pennant number "K49", which was in reality the number of HMS "Crocus".
"Saltash Castle" was portrayed by , pennant F362, as in the film. Although she had been paid off in 1947, she was held in reserve until broken up in 1958, and so could be made available for use in the film.
(In the book, the new ship which replaced "Compass Rose" was a fictional HMS "Saltash". These ships were significantly larger than the Castle-class corvettes, but had been paid off or sold abroad when the film was made. However, in 1954 a recommissioned Royal Canadian Navy River-class frigate was made available to play the fictional | 17,118 |

HMS "Rockhampton" in the John Wayne film "The Sea Chase".) In the film, when boarding their new ship, the characters of Ericson and Lockhart remark that neither of them have heard of a castle in Saltash – in reality there is no such thing, although there are a number of fortifications in the local area.
Both ships were based in Plymouth, with Plymouth Sound standing in for the River Mersey. The scenes of the ships at sea were filmed in the English Channel just out of sight of land. These coastal waters and a summer shooting schedule meant that the sea was generally too calm to effectively portray conditions on the Atlantic in winter, so the ships were taken to the Portland Race. Although only | 17,119 |

a couple of miles offshore, a number of conflicting tidal streams and a sandbank provide predictable, albeit often dangerous, large waves and a disturbed sea. Ships usually deliberately avoid the Portland Race but "Compass Rose" was taken straight through during the peak of the tide to get the required shots.
# Reception.
It was the most successful film at the British box office in 1953 and caused Jack Hawkins to be voted the most popular star with British audiences. It also earned £215,000 (approximately £4.9million by 2013 standards) in the United States, a high figure for British films at the time.

Studios was being sold to the BBC, Sir Michael Balcon was asked what had been his greatest achievement during his tenure. He replied "I think perhaps "The Cruel Sea" because when we saw that for the first time, we realised that we really had brought it off. It seemed to just gel and be absolutely right. Sometimes you don't get that feeling, but with that one we all did."
"Halliwell's Film Guide" described the film as a "competent transcription of a bestselling book, cleanly produced and acted".

Panasonic Wild Knights
Panasonic Wild Knights (formerly Sanyo) is a Japanese rugby union team based in Ōta city, Gunma prefecture which plays in the Top League. Inspired by Tony Brown at fly half (though he was not captain), it dominated the league in the fifth season and was the first team to be unbeaten throughout a Top League season.
# History.
## Early Years (1960 to 1975).
The Wild Knights were founded in 1960 by alumni of the Kumagai Industrial School and workers of the Toshiba corporation. Initially an amateur company team, they competed in the Kantō Leagues during the 1960s, rising gradually through the ranks of the prefecture's rugby pyramid.
In 1968 they undertook the first tour | 17,123 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
in their history when they travelled to South Korea to face a number of University and company teams there. In 1971 they won their first ever Kantō Rugby Championship, after arising from the 4th division only 9 years earlier. This success was followed the next season with a successive championship title, a testament to the increasing fortunes of the Gunma club.
## Growth and Success (1975 to 2002).
After a few runners-up places, the club won seven back-to-back titles between 1976 and 1982, becoming the dominant rugby force in Kantō-chihō. Further titles were added in 1986 and 1987, before the Wild Knights were entered into the new East Japan Rugby Championship against other top clubs from | 17,124 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
Kantō and Tōhoku. Rugby in Japan was a growing sport, gradually gaining popularity and competitiveness outside of its normal strongholds in company break-rooms and college campuses. Although still nominally amateur, the Wild Knights nonetheless used their position in the Toshiba corporation to hire talented foreigners to 'work' for the company with the real intention of playing for the rugby team. Known as "shamateurism", it became rampant in rugby union, as well as football and baseball.
The maiden season of the new East Japan league was captured in 1988, with further crowns captured in 1990 and 1991. Further titles were nabbed during the 1990s and in May 1997 the club's new ground at Ryumai-cho | 17,125 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
was officially unveiled.
## Early Top League Era (2003 to 2012).
In 2003 the Japan Rugby Football Union launched the Top League, Japan's first nationwide domestic rugby competition. Held annually between September and February, the Top League would mark a new future for the sport in Japan and a fully professional structure would help clubs like the Wild Knights to attract better players.
Immediately prior to the launch of the Top League in 2003, the club were bought by Sanyo and renamed the Sanyo Wild Knights. In the maiden season of the Top League, the club finished in 7th but did manage to win the Fair Play Award for 2003–04. The league that year was won by the Kobe Kobelco Steelers. The | 17,126 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
Wild Knights fans were also awarded the Japan Special Award for their support and atmosphere. The club's starting scrum-half Wataru Ikeda was also chosen for the league Best XV that year.
The following season seemed to mirror the first, as the Wild Knights fans were again awarded the Special Award and the club finished in 7th. They exited the Microsoft Cup in the first round. 2006 saw them finish runners-up in the league and see team-members Tony Brown and Yamauchi Tomokazu selected for the league's Best XV.
In 2008, the club was crowned Top League champions, managing to go on a 13-game unbeaten record on their way to the title. The club won their second Top League crown in 2010 only to lose | 17,127 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
out in the playoffs. However, the club's success was mirrored in the fact that Naoki Kawamata, Shota Horie, Seiichi Shimomura, Tomonori Kitagawa and Atsushi Tatanabe selected in the league's Best XV. Fullback Atsushi Tatanabe was also crowned the league's top scorer and best kicker for 2009.
In 2011, despite finishing in 3rd during the regular league season, the club won the Championship play-offs by beating Suntory Sungoliath 28-23 in the final. Akihito Yamada was named MVP for the entire season. The club were runners-up in the play-offs in 2012.
## Panasonic Wild Knights (2012 onward).
Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, the club was sold to Panasonic corporation and renamed the Panasonic | 17,128 |
1401926 | Panasonic Wild Knights | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panasonic%20Wild%20Knights | Panasonic Wild Knights
Wild Knights, the name they currently bear. The team colours were switched from red and black to predominantly blue and black.
In 2014, Head Coach Norifumi Nakajima left the club on the back of a historic double championship Top League and All-Japan Rugby Football Championship during the 2013–14 season. On 21 April 2014, it was confirmed that former Wallabies and Crusaders Head Coach Robbie Deans would become the new coach of Panasonic Wild Knights.

Morley rank
In mathematical logic, Morley rank, introduced by , is a means of measuring the size of a subset of a model of a theory, generalizing the notion of dimension in algebraic geometry.
# Definition.
Fix a theory "T" with a model "M". The Morley rank of a formula φ defining a definable subset "S" of "M"
is an ordinal or −1 or ∞, defined by first recursively defining what it means for a formula to have Morley rank at least α for some ordinal α.
- The Morley rank is at least 0 if "S" is non-empty.
- For α a successor ordinal, the Morley rank is at least α if in some elementary extension "N" of "M", "S" has countably many disjoint definable subsets "S", each of rank at least "α" − 1.
- | 17,132 |
1401941 | Morley rank | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morley%20rank | Morley rank
For α a non-zero limit ordinal, the Morley rank is at least α if it is at least β for all β less than α.
The Morley rank is then defined to be α if it is at least α but not at least "α" + 1, and is defined to be ∞ if it is at least α for all ordinals α, and is defined to be −1 if "S" is empty.
For a subset of a model "M" defined by a formula φ the Morley rank is defined to be the Morley rank of φ in any ℵ-saturated elementary extension of "M". In particular for ℵ-saturated models the Morley rank of a subset is the Morley rank of any formula defining the subset.
If φ defining "S" has rank α, and "S" breaks up into no more than "n" < ω subsets of rank α, then φ is said to have Morley degree "n". | 17,133 |
1401941 | Morley rank | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morley%20rank | Morley rank
A formula defining a finite set has Morley rank 0. A formula with Morley rank 1 and Morley degree 1 is called strongly minimal. A strongly minimal structure is one where the trivial formula "x" = "x" is strongly minimal. Morley rank and strongly minimal structures are key tools in the proof of Morley's categoricity theorem and in the larger area of stability theory (model theory).
# Examples.
- The empty set has Morley rank −1, and conversely anything of Morley rank −1 is empty.
- A subset has Morley rank 0 if and only if it is finite and non-empty.
- If "V" is an algebraic set in "K", for an algebraically closed field "K", then the Morley rank of "V" is the same as its usual Krull dimension. | 17,134 |
1401941 | Morley rank | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morley%20rank | Morley rank
The Morley degree of "V" is the number of irreducible components of maximal dimension; this is not the same as its degree in algebraic geometry, except when its components of maximal dimension are linear spaces.
- The rational numbers, considered as an ordered set, has Morley rank ∞, as it contains a countable disjoint union of definable subsets isomorphic to itself.

Johann Nestroy
Johann Nepomuk Eduard Ambrosius Nestroy (7 December 1801 – 25 May 1862) was a singer, actor and playwright in the popular Austrian tradition of the Biedermeier period and its immediate aftermath.
# Career.
Nestroy was born in Vienna, where he was a law student from 1817 to 1822, before abandoning his studies to become a singer. He joined the Theater am Kärntnertor, beginning with Sarastro in "The Magic Flute" on 24 August 1822. After a year of singing in Vienna, he went to Amsterdam where he appeared in baritone roles for two years at the local German Theatre. From 1825 to 1831 he accepted engagements to sing and act in Brünn, Graz, Pressburg, Klagenfurt, Vienna and Lemberg. | 17,137 |
1401924 | Johann Nestroy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann%20Nestroy | Johann Nestroy
He then returned to his native Vienna and started to write and continued to perform.
Nestroy's career as a playwright was an immediate success: his 1833 play "Der böse Geist Lumpazivagabundus" was a major hit. He soon became a leading figure in Austrian culture and society. Nestroy succeeded Ferdinand Raimund as the leading actor-dramatist on the Volkstheater, the Viennese commercial stage or 'people's theatre'.
Whereas Raimund concentrated on romantic and magical fantasies, Nestroy used comedy for parody and criticism. Working at the time of conservative minister Klemens von Metternich, he had to carefully draft his plays to skirt the strict censorship in place. His interest in word play | 17,138 |
1401924 | Johann Nestroy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann%20Nestroy | Johann Nestroy
was legendary, and his characters often mixed Viennese German with less-than-successful attempts at more "educated" speech. Music held an important role in his work, with songs elaborating the theme or helping on with the plot.
Nestroy wrote nearly eighty comedies between the 1830s and the 1850s. Among the most important were ', ', ' (made into the 1939 musical comedy "Titus macht Karriere" by Edmund Nick), "Einen Jux will er sich machen" (translated as "On the Razzle" by Tom Stoppard in 1981) and ', all of which were marked by social criticism and biting satire. He died in Graz, Austria.
# Works.
Nestroy remained a singer all his life, and virtually all his plays include music. He worked | 17,139 |
1401924 | Johann Nestroy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann%20Nestroy | Johann Nestroy
closely with a relatively small number of composers: , who set 41 of Nestroy's texts between 1832 and 1847, Michael Hebenstreit, who set 10 works from 1843 to 1850, , who set seven from 1851 to 1859, as well as , Franz Roser, Carl Franz Stenzel, and Andreas Skutta.
Most of his works were designated as some form of "Posse" or farce, and of these the majority were "Possen mit Gesang" (i.e. 'with singing'). He also produced a number of parodies, both of operas (including "Cendrillion"", "La Cenerentola", "Lohengrin", "Martha", "Robert le diable", "Tannhäuser" and "Zampa") and dramas (including Karl von Holtei's "Lorbeerbaum und Bettelstab" and Raupach's "Robert der Teufel"). In addition he wrote | 17,140 |
1401924 | Johann Nestroy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann%20Nestroy | Johann Nestroy
four Quodlibets, two Burlesken, a Travestie and finally an Operette using music by Jacques Offenbach.
His early works were performed in Graz and Pressburg, then from 1832 to 1846 he worked exclusively at the Theater an der Wien, where 45 of his plays were premiered. After two productions at the Theater in der Leopoldstadt, he moved to the Carltheater from 1847 to 1859, where another 20 were performed.
# Legacy.
About half of Nestroy's works have been revived by the modern German-speaking theatres and many are part and parcel of today's Viennese repertoire. However, few have ever been translated into English. Only one, "Einen Jux will er sich machen", has become well known to English-speaking | 17,141 |
1401924 | Johann Nestroy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann%20Nestroy | Johann Nestroy
theatregoers. It has become a classic more than once. It was first adapted as Thornton Wilder's "The Matchmaker" (which later became the musical "Hello, Dolly!") and later achieved success as "On the Razzle", which was translated by Stephen Plaice and adapted by Tom Stoppard.
Nestroy has a square—Nestroyplatz—named after him in Vienna, as well as a station on Line 1 of the Vienna U-Bahn, which opened in 1979. When the Reichsbrücke had to be rebuilt after its collapse in 1976, the tender was won by a consortium named "Project Johann Nestroy". The official name of the newly built bridge is probably "Johann Nestroy Brücke", but that name doesn't seem to have any currency.

One of the most important German speaking theatre awards is named after Nestroy. The is an annual award for primarily Austrian theatre with Oscar-like categories. Its ceremony is held in Vienna and broadcast live on national television.

Frank Costin
Francis Albert "Frank" Costin (8 June 1920 – 5 February 1995) was an automotive engineer who advanced monocoque chassis design and was instrumental in adapting aircraft aerodynamic knowledge for automobile use.
# Career.
Costin was an engineer with the de Havilland Aircraft Company when, in 1954, his brother Mike, a former de Havilland engineer then working for Lotus Engineering Ltd., asked him to design an aerodynamic body for a new racing car. Intrigued by the idea of applying aerodynamics to racing cars, Costin designed the body for the Lotus Mark VIII Unlike his brother, Costin was never a Lotus employee; his work there was either as a paid consultant or as a volunteer.
In | 17,149 |

1956, when Chapman was commissioned by Tony Vandervell to design a Grand Prix racing car to challenge Maserati and Ferrari dominance of the formula, Chapman recommended Costin to Vandervell as the body designer. Costin designed the body for the Vanwall that won the first Grand Prix Constructors' Championship.
Later, Costin used his aeronautical knowledge to design and build a chassis from plywood. This led to a lightweight, stiff structure, which he could then clothe with an efficient, aerodynamic body, a huge advantage in the low-capacity sports car racing of the immediate postwar period. He was also involved in a number of road car projects for various manufacturers including Lister and Lotus, | 17,150 |

1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
Porphyry of Gaza
Saint Porphyry (; , "Porphyrios"; Slavonic: Порфирий, "Porfiriy"; –420) was bishop of Gaza from 395 to 420, known, from the account in his "Life", for Christianizing the recalcitrant pagan city of Gaza, and demolishing its temples.
Porphyry of Gaza is known only from a vivid biography by Mark the Deacon and from a reference made by Archbishop John II of Jerusalem. The "Vita Porphyrii" appears to be a contemporary account of Porphyry that chronicles in some detail the end of paganism in Gaza in the early fifth century. However, the text has been identified in the 20th century as hagiography rather than history, and some elements of it are examples of the stereotyped fictional | 17,153 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
events characteristic of this literary form. On the other hand, the author was certainly intimately familiar with Gaza in late Antiquity, and his statements are of interest for reflecting 5th century attitudes. A street in the village of Zejtun, Malta, bears his name.
# The account in "Vita Porphyrii".
Gaza had a history as a place hostile to the early Christians. Several had suffered martyrdom there in the persecution of Diocletian (303-313), and the brief pagan revival under Julian (362-363) had seen the burning of the Christian basilica and various Christians put to death.
The people of Gaza were so hostile to Christians that the Christian church had to be built outside the walls, at a | 17,154 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
safe distance, and the Christian bishops of the 4th century were specifically termed "bishops of the churches about Gaza". The Christian community in Gaza then scarcely numbered 280, according to the "vita" of St. Porphyry, and the community-at-large resisted the closing of temples and destruction of pagan images which had started in more Christianized regions.
According to the "vita", St. Porphyry was appointed bishop at the age of 45. He arrived in the city without incident, but a drought followed the same year, and the pagans "imputed the thing to the coming of the blessed man, saying that 'It was revealed unto us by Marnas that the feet of Porphyry bring bad luck to the city'." (Vita 19-20) | 17,155 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
Further harassment followed (Vita 21, 25) with the support of local officials.
In response, St. Porphyry sent Marcus, his deacon and chronicler, to Constantinople in 398 to obtain an order to close the pagan temples of Gaza. An official named Hilarius duly arrived with soldiers to close the temples, but the Marneion remained open because Hilarius was bribed with a large sum of money ("Vita" 27). There was no great change, however, in the attitude of the people, who refused to allow Christians "to hold any civil office, but entreated them as naughty slaves" ("Vita" 32).
St. Porphyry then went to Constantinople during the winter of 401-402, accompanied by the bishop of Caesarea Palaestina, and | 17,156 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
together they convinced the Empress Eudoxia, who was the dominant force at the court of Arcadius, to prevail upon the Emperor and obtain from him a decree for the destruction of the pagan temples at Gaza. Cynegius, a special imperial envoy, executed the decree in May, 402. Eight temples, those of Aphrodite, Hecate, the Sun, Apollo, Kore (Persephone), Tyche ("Tychaion"), the shrine of a hero ("Heroeion"), and even the Marneion, were either pulled down or burnt. "And there were also other very many idols in the houses and in the villages," Marcus relates, but the upper class who had such things had fled from the city in advance. Simultaneously soldiers, who were billeted in the vacated houses | 17,157 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
visited every house, seizing and burning the idols and private libraries as "books of magic".
The Marneion, a temple sacred to Zeus Marnas, who was the local Hellenistic incarnation of Dagon, the patron of agriculture, a god who had been worshipped in the Levant since the third millennium BCE, was set afire with pitch, sulfur and fat; it continued to burn for many days; stones of the Marneion were triumphantly reused for paving the streets. This temple had been rebuilt under the direction of Hadrian (ruled 117-138), who visited Gaza; it was first represented on the Gaza coins of Hadrian himself. To one of Hadrian's visits, also, we may conjecturally assign the foundation of the great temple | 17,158 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
of the god Marnas, which the "Vita" describes with a mixture of pride and abhorrence. it was believed that the 'Olympian' Emperor who founded the great temple of Zeus on the sacred mountain Gerizim of the Samaritans would not be slow to recognize the claims of the "Cretan Zeus" of the Gazaeans. After the suppression of a revolt of the Jews in 119 AD, Hadrian allegedly selected Gaza as the place at which to sell his Jewish captives.
Directly upon the ruins of the Marneion, at the expense of the empress, a large church called the "Eudoxiana" was erected in her honor and dedicated on 14 April 407. Thus with approved violence, paganism officially ceased to exist in Gaza.
# Modern assessment of | 17,159 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
the "Vita Porphyrii".
The text exists in a Greek and a Georgian recension.
Grégoire and Kugener (1930), the editors of the "Vita Porphyrii", reviewed the challenges to the integrity of the work and summarized the previous scholarship. These included the lack of other attestation to major figures, including Porphyry himself, in an otherwise well-documented period of history. But they concluded that the text had a historical basis and "that the solution of most problems is to be found in the fact that the text of the "Vita" transmitted to us represents a revision of the sixth century, which borrowed from the church history of Theodoret of Cyrrhus of 444, e.g. for the Proemium, and deleted in | 17,160 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
particular each mention of John II, Bishop of Jerusalem, replacing it with the name of Praylius, his successor as bishop of Jerusalem in the time of Porphyrius".
Paul Peeters (1941) published the Georgian texts and showed that they depended on a lost Syriac original that must have been written in the later fifth or the sixth century.
Head wrote, "The textual problems can be resolved if we assume that the "Life of St Porphyry" was composed in two successive stages: the original notes by a contemporary and eyewitness (whom we may call 'Mark') were later, perhaps in the 450's, given their final shape and put into circulation by another author who does not appear in the text." (Head 2001:55). | 17,161 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
He adds that "the text abounds with such convincing historical detail and shows such an intimate knowledge of the region of Gaza in late antiquity, that at the very least the general storyline merits our confidence." (2001:56) But he acknowledges that Porphyry is otherwise undocumented in the historical record, and that the text contains the "usual stereotypes" of hagiography documented by Hippolyte Delehaye.
Other scholars are more dismissive. "Richly detailed glimpses of imperial circles and great names in Constantinople are all fake; specific important people—an archbishop, a governor, and others—are all fake; and Mark and Porphyry themselves may never have existed at all," is MacMullen's | 17,162 |
1401944 | Porphyry of Gaza | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Porphyry%20of%20Gaza | Porphyry of Gaza
conclusion (1984:87). "The "vita" "comes to be routinely cited as real history by all sorts of fine scholars" writes Ramsay MacMullen in "Christianizing the Roman Empire", 1984, p 86. "There is a strong temptation to use it because it is so full, specific and vivid." He concludes that "it should be possible, then, to learn about the general way things happened in well-known and recurring situations around the turn of the fourth century, even as they appear in a manifestly deceptive text" (MacMullen 1984:87).

Mary Dimmick Harrison
Mary Dimmick Harrison (April 30, 1858 – January 5, 1948) was the second wife of the 23rd United States president Benjamin Harrison. She was nearly 25 years younger than Harrison, and was the niece of his first wife.
# Biography.
Born in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, as Mary Scott Lord, she was the daughter of Russell Farnham Lord, chief engineer of the Delaware and Hudson Canal (later known as the Delaware and Hudson Railway), and his wife Elizabeth Mayhew Scott.
On October 22, 1881, she married Walter Erskine Dimmick (July 4, 1856 – January 14, 1882), a son of the attorney-general of Pennsylvania and brother of future Scranton mayor J. Benjamin Dimmick. He died three months | 17,168 |
1401981 | Mary Dimmick Harrison | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mary%20Dimmick%20Harrison | Mary Dimmick Harrison
after their marriage, leaving her a widow at age 23. A niece of Caroline Harrison, she in 1889 moved into the White House to serve as assistant to the First Lady. Sometime after Mrs. Harrison's death in 1892, the former president and Mrs. Dimmick fell in love and late in 1895 announced their engagement.
At age 37, she married the former president, aged 62, on April 6, 1896, at St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City. Harrison's grown children from his first marriage, horrified at the news, did not attend the wedding. Harrison's vice president, Levi P. Morton, and several former cabinet members were among the three dozen guests; former navy secretary Benjamin F. Tracy was best | 17,169 |

man. Without a honeymoon, the couple settled in Indianapolis.
Together, the Harrisons had one daughter:
- Elizabeth (Harrison) Walker (1897–1955), a lawyer. Born in Indianapolis, she graduated from New York University School of Law in 1919. In 1922, she married James Blaine Walker, grandnephew of her father's secretary of state James G. Blaine. She was founder and publisher of "Cues on the News", an investment newsletter for women. Their daughter, Mary Jane Walker, married Newell Garfield, a grandson of Interior Secretary James Rudolph Garfield, and great-grandson of President James Garfield.
The Harrisons traveled widely: to Venezuela, where Harrison played a role in settling a boundary | 17,170 |

widely: to Venezuela, where Harrison played a role in settling a boundary dispute, and to the First Peace Conference at The Hague in 1899. Benjamin Harrison died on March 13, 1901. Mrs. Harrison survived the former president by nearly half a century. Arden Davis Melick reveals that "Mary Dimmick Harrison established The Benjamin Harrison Memorial Home in Indianapolis, Indiana." On September 1, 1914, Mary and her seventeen-year-old daughter Elizabeth returned from Europe upon the outbreak of war aboard the SS "Ryndam".
She died of asthma in New York City on January 5, 1948. She was buried in Indianapolis, Indiana in Crown Hill Cemetery.

Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
The Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, Limited was a shipyard and iron works straddling the mouth of Bow Creek at its confluence with the River Thames, at Leamouth Wharf (often referred to as Blackwall) on the west side and at Canning Town on the east side. Its main activity was shipbuilding, but it also diversified into civil engineering, marine engines, cranes, electrical engineering and motor cars.
The company notably produced iron work for Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge over the Tamar in the 1850s, and the world's first all-iron warship, HMS "Warrior", launched in 1860.
# History.
## 1837–46.
The company originated in 1837 | 17,172 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
as the Ditchburn and Mare Shipbuilding Company, founded by shipwright Thomas J. Ditchburn and the engineer and naval architect Charles John Mare. Originally located at Deptford, after a fire destroyed their yard the company moved to Orchard Place in 1838, between the East India Dock Basin and Bow Creek. There they took over the premises of the defunct shipbuilders William and Benjamin Wallis.
The firm did well and within a few years occupied three sites covering an area of over .
Ditchburn and Mare were among the first builders of iron ships in the area; their partnership commenced with the construction of small paddle steamers of between 50 and 100 tons, before progressing to cross-Channel | 17,173 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
vessels and by 1840 were building ships of more than 300 tons. The company's early customers included the Iron Steamboat Company and the Blackwall Railway Company, several paddle steamers being constructed for the latter, including the "Meteor" and the "Prince of Wales", which operated between Gravesend and the company's station on Brunswick Wharf.
In this period the company was also awarded several contracts by the Admiralty, including HMS "Recruit" (a 12-gun brig) which was one of the first iron warships built. They also constructed the P & O Company's steamers "Ariel" and "Erin".
## 1847–56.
Thomas Ditchburn retired in 1847 and the business was carried on by Charles Mare, under the name | 17,174 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
of C.J. Mare and Company. He was joined by naval architect James Ash, who later began his own shipyard at Cubitt Town.
From 1847 the company grew considerably and Mare purchased land on the Canning Town side of the River Lea, a ferry service being established between the two sites.
Mare constructed a yard with furnaces and rolling mills that could construct vessels of 4,000 tons; because of the narrowness of the spit at the mouth of the River Lea, the Orchard Place site was limited to the construction of vessels of less than 1,000 tons. In 1853 the company launched the SS "Himalaya" for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, briefly the world's largest passenger ship before | 17,175 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
becoming a naval troopship.
In 1855, the company which by now had more than 3000 employees, was threatened with closure following Mare's bankruptcy. It is thought by some that his financial difficulties arose from delays in payment for completed work or, alternatively, that the company had miscalculated the cost of building vessels for the Royal Navy. The business did not lack orders, having in hand six contracts for gunboats and the contract for Westminster Bridge (which was built in 1862).
## 1857–1912.
The company's chief creditors moved to keep the company in operation, and two employees, Joseph Westwood and Robert Baillie were appointed works managers. The main figure in saving the company | 17,176 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
was Peter Rolt, Mare's father-in-law and Conservative MP for Greenwich. Rolt was also a timber merchant and a descendant of the Pett shipbuilding family. He was supported in the venture by another company director, Lord Alan Spencer-Churchill.
Rolt took control of the company's assets and in 1857 transferred them to a new limited company, named the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd.. It had a capital of £100,000 in 20 shares of £5000 each, five of which were held by Rolt who was the main shareholder and also chairman of the board.
The new company was the largest shipbuilder on the Thames, its premises described by the Mechanics' Magazine in 1861 as "Leviathan Workshops". | 17,177 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
Large scale Ordnance Survey maps of the 1860s show the yard occupying a large triangular site in a right-angled bend on the east bank of Bow Creek with the railway to Thames Wharf on the third side, and with a smaller site on the west bank. The main yard had a quay 1,050 feet (320m) long. To the south-east the yard occupied the north bank of the Thames east of Bow Creek, with two slips giving direct access to the main river. Today the site is crossed by the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing and the Docklands Light Railway south of Canning Town station.
By 1863 the company had the capacity to build 25,000 tons of warships and 10,000 tons of mail steamers simultaneously. One of its first Admiralty contracts | 17,178 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
was for HMS "Warrior", launched in 1860, at the time the world's largest warship and the first iron-hulled armoured frigate. HMS "Minotaur" followed in 1863, long and 10,690 tons displacement.
Work on vessels such as "Minotaur" was performed on the Canning Town side of the Lea, and this is where the Thames Ironworks expanded from less than in 1856 to by 1891. While the old site at Orchard Place was still the company's official address until 1909, its presence there was minimal, by the late 1860s the company having only a site there.
General shipbuilding on the Thames came under great pressure due to the cost advantages of northern yards with closer supplies of coal and iron, and many yards | 17,179 |
1401891 | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames%20Ironworks%20and%20Shipbuilding%20Company | Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company
closed following the 1866 financial crisis. Of the survivors, those like the Thames Ironworks were specialised in warships and liners.
Following the success of HMS "Warrior" and HMS "Minotaur", orders were placed by navies all over the world, and vessels were built for Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Russia, Spain and the Ottoman Empire. The yard also built the Prussian Navy's first iron-hulled warship, the SMS "König Wilhelm" in 1868 and the cruiser "Afonso de Albuquerque" for Portugal in 1884. A multitude of mostly small warships were also built for the Romanian Navy, most notably the brig "Mircea". Also notable was the tiny minelayer "Alexandru cel Bun". The Iron Works also produced for the Romanian | 17,180 |

Navy a class of three small 45-ton gunboats, a class of three medium 116-ton gunboats and a class of eight 50-ton torpedo boats.
In the 1890s philanthropist Arnold Hills became the managing director. He had originally joined the board of directors in 1880 at the age of 23. Hills was one of the first business directors voluntarily to introduce an eight-hour day for his workers at a time when 10- and 12-hour shifts were more common in industrial work.
In 1895 Hills helped to set up a football club for the Works' employees, Thames Ironworks F.C. and within their first two years they had entered the FA Cup and the London League. As a result of the committee's desire to employ professional players, | 17,181 |

the Thames Ironworks F.C. was wound up in June 1900 and West Ham United F.C. was formed a month later.
Merged with the engine builder John Penn and Sons in 1899 as the Thames Iron Works, Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.
During its lifetime the yard produced 144 warships and numerous other vessels. In 1911 Hills petitioned Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, regarding the lack of new orders. He was unsuccessful, and the yard was forced to shut in 1912. Within two years the United Kingdom was at war with the German Empire, with the yard's last major ship taking part in the Battle of Jutland.

# Links to West Ham United Football Club.
Employees at the Thames Ironworks formed a works football team, called Thames Ironworks Football Club. This club was later renamed West Ham United, whose emblem of the crossed hammers represents the large riveting hammers used in the shipbuilding trade. West Ham are also known as "The Hammers" for this reason.
While the media and the general football world commonly refer to the club as The Hammers, the club's own supporters have always referred to their team as 'The Irons', which again comes from the link with Thames Ironworks. The chant 'Come on you Irons' is heard on every match day at West | 17,184 |

The shape of the 16th evolution of the club badge, launched after club moved to the Olympic Stadium in 2016, is a representation of the cross-section of the bow of HMS "Warrior", the first iron clad battleship, built by the Thames Ironworks in 1860.

Granite Peak, at an elevation of above sea level, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Montana, and is the tenth highest state high point in the nation. It lies within the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, in Park County very near the borders of Stillwater County and Carbon County. Granite Peak is north of the Wyoming border, southwest of Columbus, Montana.
Granite Peak is the second most difficult state highpoint after Denali in Alaska, due to technical climbing, poor weather, and route finding. Granite Peak's first ascent was made by Elers Koch, James C. Whitham and R.T. Ferguson on August 29, 1923 after several failed attempts by others. It was the last of | 17,187 |

Today, climbers typically spend two or three days ascending the peak, stopping over on the Froze-to-Death Plateau, although some climbers choose to ascend the peak in a single day. Another route that has gained popularity in recent years is the Southwest Couloir route, a non-technical route from the south starting near Cooke City; climbers generally take two days to complete it.

Marcel Masse
Marcel Masse, (May 27, 1936 – August 25, 2014) was a Canadian politician. He served as a Quebec MLA, federal MP and federal cabinet minister.
# Biography.
## Background.
Masse was educated at the Université de Montréal and pursued graduate work in Paris. He worked as a high school teacher in Joliette, Quebec from 1962 to 1966.
## Provincial politics.
In the 1966 Quebec provincial election, he was elected to the Quebec legislative assembly in the riding of Montcalm as a member of the Union Nationale (UN), a conservative political party. He served as a minister in the governments of Quebec premiers Daniel Johnson (1966–1968) and Jean-Jacques Bertrand (1968–1970).
Masse was re-elected | 17,192 |
1401986 | Marcel Masse | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcel%20Masse | Marcel Masse
in 1970. He was a leadership candidate at the party convention of 1971, but lost by 21 votes. He left the Union Nationale to sit as an independent until his term expired in 1973. In 1974, Masse was hired by the engineering firm Lavalin as an administrator.
## Federal politics.
He attempted to win a seat in the House of Commons of Canada as a Progressive Conservative candidate, but was defeated in the 1974 and 1980 federal elections. He was elected as Member of Parliament for Frontenac in the 1984 election that brought Brian Mulroney and the Tories to power.
Prime Minister Mulroney appointed Masse to the position of Minister of Communications. Masse resigned from the Canadian Cabinet on September | 17,193 |
1401986 | Marcel Masse | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcel%20Masse | Marcel Masse
25, 1985, during an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of alleged overspending during his election campaign. He returned to Cabinet on November 30 after being cleared of any wrongdoing.
As Communications Minister, Masse was responsible for Canada's cultural policy. He argued against measures that would undermine the country's cultural sovereignty during negotiations leading to the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement. He was moved out of the Communications portfolio to that of Minister of Energy in 1986 when it appeared to Mulroney that Masse might be an obstacle to the free trade negotiations. Masse was moved back to Communications following the 1988 election and the implementation | 17,194 |
1401986 | Marcel Masse | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcel%20Masse | Marcel Masse
of the Free Trade Agreement.
In 1991, Masse became Minister of National Defence. He resigned from cabinet in January 1993 along with a number of other ministers who were not intending to run in the 1993 election.
## Retirement.
Since leaving federal politics Masse, a moderate Quebec nationalist, has served in a number of positions under the "Parti Québécois" governments of Jacques Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard. He was head of one of fourteen regional committees that held public hearings on Quebec independence in 1995 in the run up to the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty. He served as president of the "Conseil de la langue française du Québec" in 1995, and as Quebec's delegate-general | 17,195 |

teen regional committees that held public hearings on Quebec independence in 1995 in the run up to the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty. He served as president of the "Conseil de la langue française du Québec" in 1995, and as Quebec's delegate-general in France from 1996 to 1997. He has also served as chair of the "Commission des biens culturels du Québec".
In 1995, he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec. In 1989, he was made a Commander of the Order of La Pléiade and an Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1999. He is also a Commander of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.

Linear aeration
Linear aeration is a relatively new aeration process; it allows water to penetrate the soil and to be retained in the proper amounts. Linear aeration also adds organic nutrition, soil softeners (humus, topsoil, compost, sand, clay, etc.) if necessary.
# Gardens.
In linear aeration, the necessary organic matter is added on top of the soil surface, between plantings. The grooves are then cut into the soil to let the amendments and additives enter the soil; and recovered in the same passage.
# Lawns.
Linear aeration also alleviates excessive water in lawn areas. In linear aeration, the necessary organic matter is added on top of the turf. Next, grooves are cut into the turf | 17,197 |

# Benefits of linear aeration.
## Gardens.
- irrigation water conservation.
- promotes stronger and deeper root development, for plant health and drought tolerance.
- permits proper distribution of soil amendments and additives.
- allows organic nutrition absorption.
### Lawns.
- alleviates soil compaction in heavily traveled areas
- provides smoother lawn surfaces
- drastically reduces disruption of actual turf surface compared to coring or plugs aeration
- causes minimal interruption of use of athletic fields | 17,198 |
