on the prototype with 3947, answering his questions about other units in their society and informing him that Data is the only android among them and is treated like any human, Janeway tries to figure out how to rescue her. They finally realize that if a shuttle could get past the robots' shields, it could beam Torres away. While they are looking for a way to distract the robot ship, a second ship, piloted by similar-looking robots, appears and attacks the first robotic ship. Just as the first shots are fired between the robots, Torres finally succeeds in completing a functional prototype, named "0001". It sits up and repeatedly asks for further programming.

a breach in the robotic shields to sneak closer to the ship.
When asked by Torres why robots are at war with each other, 3947 further reveals the robot race's history: their Builders (two races, the Pralor and the Cravic) were at war with each other and designed these robots to be soldiers. When the Pralor and Cravic decided to call a ceasefire, they attempted to terminate their robot soldiers. The robots, now seeing their Builders as "the enemy" (whom they are programmed to kill no matter what), turned on their makers, wiped them out and resumed the war. A horrified Torres realizes she has upset the balance of the war by creating her prototype, and, with only a moment's hesitation, plunges | 6,122,601 |

the war. A horrified Torres realizes she has upset the balance of the war by creating her prototype, and, with only a moment's hesitation, plunges an electrically charged knife into the prototype's body, causing it to short-circuit and be destroyed. 3947 uses a bolt of electricity which knocks Torres down.
"I told 6263 you were not our enemy," 3947 says to Torres from across the body of the prototype. She replies, "I never wanted to be your enemy. I'm sorry," just as Paris beams her out. The two robotic ships are so engaged in their battle that the Pralor cannot go after the departing "Voyager".

6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
Operation Midford
Operation Midford was New Zealand's contribution to the Commonwealth Monitoring Force in Rhodesia in late 1979 and early 1980 that eventually led to the Lancaster House Agreement and the independence of Zimbabwe.
# Background.
The Rhodesian Bush War had dragged on for some 14 years from 1965 until 1979, being largely overshadowed by the television-driven Vietnam War. The war in Rhodesia was largely ignored internationally, until the guerrillas committed atrocities on various Missionary stations. There were three belligerent parties, including the predominantly white led Rhodesian Security Forces, and two rival black nationalist guerrilla factions: the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary | 6,122,607 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
Army (ZIPRA), armed wing of Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People's Union, and the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA), armed wing of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union.
## Lancaster House talks.
In April 1979 an election was held in Zimbabwe Rhodesia in which 63% of the black population voted, and on 1 June 1979, Bishop Abel Muzorewa was sworn in as the first black Prime Minister of Rhodesia. Meanwhile, the Peace Talks at Lancaster House continued in a rather "on again–off again" fashion. This state of affairs continued until October and then as the light began to appear at the end of the tunnel, the United Kingdom sent out feelers to various Commonwealth nations | 6,122,608 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
that troops might be needed for a special operation.
In New Zealand, selection and training began immediately and a force of 75 officers and men were selected and moved to Papakura Military Camp for specialist training. None of the soldiers were formally told where they might be headed but initially the 75-strong contingent was called "R Force", similar to the Korean War's "K Force" and the Vietnam War's "V Force". They were also instructed to listen to BBC World Service at 7 a.m. every morning so the possibility of a tour of duty to Rhodesia was an open secret. Originally, both Mugabe and Nkomo did not want any New Zealanders in the Peacekeeping – Monitoring Force as they were thought to be | 6,122,609 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
American puppets, due to New Zealand troops serving in Vietnam. However, when it was pointed out that one man in every four in the New Zealand contingent was 'coloured' (Māori/native New Zealanders), the New Zealanders became very acceptable. The Commanding Officer for the Kiwi Contingent was the very popular, and widely respected professional soldier Colonel David W. S. Moloney RNZIR (later OBE).
The Operation patch worn as a brassard by the New Zealand members of the New Zealand Truce Monitoring Contingent (NZATMC) was a red, white, and blue diamond with a golden sunburst in the centre and a pangolin—a small anteater—whose claws extended centred in the sun. This was to be worn on a white | 6,122,610 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
brassard. It was also decided that the uniform that was to be worn by all members of the MF was to be "Jungle Green" fatigues, and "Jungle Hats" would be worn by all members of the MF serving in the operational areas. This would serve to distinguish them from the Rhodesian Army, whose camouflage fatigues were extremely distinctive.
# Deployment.
On 20 December 1979, the New Zealand contingent, which was the most distant from Rhodesia, flew out from RNZAF Base Whenuapai and between 22 and 24 December 1979 the various elements of the Commonwealth Monitoring Force began to arrive at Salisbury Airport. Upon arrival each plane load of troops was processed through a reception tent, given an initial | 6,122,611 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
briefing and issued anti-malaria tablets (Maloprim) which were known locally as the "Tuesday Pill". The entire nation was reminded on both radio and television to take their pill each Tuesday. Troops were also given the opportunity to exchange money and were given the location of their billets.
The Rhodesian Army built a tented transit camp which accommodated the majority of the troops with the exception of the Fijians, Kenyans, and New Zealanders who were accommodated at Morgan High School, which was to become NZATMC's headquarters. During this phase of the operation which covered a five-day period, more than 60 aircraft sorties landed at Salisbury Airport, off-loading more than 1,500 men | 6,122,612 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
and a veritable mountain of stores and equipment.
# Preparation and planning.
The next several days were packed with detailed briefings, O Groups, and the issuing of stores, ammunition, and equipment. As well, due to the height of Rhodesia above sea level, every Kiwi soldier was required to attend a range shoot and re-zero his personal weapon. The altitude most definitely did make a difference to sight settings. Amongst all ranks of the Monitoring Force from the Commander down there was a very real air of trepidation in regards to the daunting task that lay ahead. At this time the CMF, General John Acland went out of his way to personally meet and make himself known to every single member | 6,122,613 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
of the Monitoring Force during his initial briefing which was usually held at the RLI Barracks at Cranborne.
Other briefings included:
- The CMF's lecture on the responsibility of the Monitoring Force
- An overview on the background of the war and the politics involved
- The background to the operational situation
- The CMF's concept of how the operation was to be conducted
- The allocation of troops to task
- The in-theatre deployment plan
- The rules of engagement
- Also included was a crash course for the Kiwis on the Clansman radio
The operational areas during the Rhodesian War were:
- A. Operation Ranger – Northwest border
- B. Operation Thrasher – Eastern border
- C. Operation | 6,122,614 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
Hurricane – Northeast border
- D. Operation Repulse – Southeast border
- E. Operation Grapple – Midlands
- F. Operation Splinter – Kariba
- G. Operation Tangent – Matabeleland
- H. "SALOPS" – Salisbury & District
The Peacekeeping Forces on the ground, were broken down as follows:
- There were 16 Assembly Places (AP November and AP Quebec later closed).
- There were 39 RVs during the ceasefire period.
The New Zealand contingent provided the following:
- 1. A Headquarters element based at Morgan High School, Salisbury.
- 2. 2 x Assembly Place Teams (AP LIMA and AP MIKE).
- 3. 3 x Sub-Joc (Joint Operations Command) Teams.
- 4. 8 x Company Based Teams (co-located with Rhodesian Units).
- | 6,122,615 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
5. 2 x border Liaison Teams.
# Forward deployment.
The decision to deploy the Monitoring Force was made on 24 December 1979, and the forward deployment took place over the next three days with the ceasefire coming into effect at 2359 + 1, on 28 December. This was an extremely tense time as no one knew how the communist guerrillas in the operational areas might act. Perhaps fortunately for the Monitoring Force, the world at large was starved for news coverage and a great many reporters were in Rhodesia. They were spread widely throughout the country, and their efforts tended to keep everyone honest.
During the forward deployment phase the weather was atrocious and RAF aircrew flew missions | 6,122,616 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
that would never have been authorised under normal circumstances. There were a number of contacts during this phase of the operation, including: A Rhodesian Escort AFV (Crocodile) was destroyed by a mine near Bulawayo, an RAF Puma helicopter crashed killing the three-man aircrew, a Hercules aircraft was shot up by small arms fire near Umtali, and an RV Team was ambushed in the Zambezi Valley but escaped without casualties.
# Assembly phase.
The Assembly phase was a seven-day period when all of the communist units and cells spread throughout Rhodesia, and in several of the neighbouring countries were guaranteed unhindered movement into RV's and Assembly Places. Once in the Assembly Place, all | 6,122,617 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
communists, both Regular Force and guerrillas were required to register their name, weapon and that weapon's serial number. Both the ZIPRA and ZANLA had played down the size of their forces and over that seven-day period more than 22,000 communist soldiers marched into the 16 Assembly Places.
The sheer size of the various ZIPRA and ZANLA units created something of a logistics nightmare and to avoid "under issues", if any communist unit required some special item (e.g., sanitary pads, female underwear), then a drop was immediately arranged to all of the Assembly Places, sometimes causing much hilarity to the troops on the ground (ZANLA had a sizeable force of female guerillas). The communists | 6,122,618 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
were to arrive at the Assembly Places carrying all of their own equipment, however for the most part, most of them carried little more than an AK47, a couple of magazines and the clothes they stood in. Many wore no boots. Food and meat shortages caused major problems on a number of occasions and almost resulted in the deaths of a number of Peacekeepers who were taken hostage. It had been understood that the communists lived on sadza (i.e., corn mealie meal), and initially no meat was provided for them. This was quickly rectified, by the CMF importing several planeloads of South African beef.
Once in the Assembly Places, the communist troops became very lax and always carried their personal | 6,122,619 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
weapon "locked, cocked and ready to rock"; that is several magazines taped together on the weapon, the weapon cocked with a round in the tube, safety catch "off", and sights set to maximum range. This resulted in a plague of UD's (unauthorised discharges) and numerous casualties. It also caused tremendous stress and tension amongst the MF Teams. There were even UD's with hand grenades and RPG's resulting in injury and loss of life. As well, there was the ever-present danger of mines which continued to take a toll during the entire operation.
# Redeployment of RV teams.
The ceasefire ended on 4 January 1980 at 2359 + 1, and as most of the communists were now gathered at the various Assembly | 6,122,620 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
Places, the RV Teams were disbanded and those men were then added to various Assembly Places so as to boost the numbers there. Assembly Place "November" and Assembly Place "Quebec" were both closed as no communists had been recently operating in that area (Northern border), and the Commonwealth troops at those locations were redistributed to some of the larger Assembly Places that were holding several thousand communists. Assembly Place Foxtrot held over 6,000 communists.
# Election period.
This part of the operation lasted from 5 January 1980, when the ceasefire ended until 3 March 1980, which was in fact after the elections had been held, but before the results were announced. The election | 6,122,621 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
results were announced on 4 March 1980. During this period, a contingent of British police officers were flown into Rhodesia and they served as observers at the many polling places scattered throughout the country. There were many breaches in the ceasefire as all three sides attempted to gain a position of strength, and "large numbers of hard-core guerrillas remained outside the camps and continued to intimidate" the electorate.
The elections were said to be about giving the black population a free and fair vote, however, many, many black Rhodesians wanted to vote for Ian Smith but were barred from such a vote under the terms of the Lancaster House Agreement. This left a two-horse race, and | 6,122,622 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
as Mugabe and Nkomo jostled for power, it became commonplace for hand grenades to be thrown into the interior of each other's beer halls by supporters.
# Withdrawal.
On 2 March 1980, all Monitoring Force personnel were pulled back to a tented camp in and around New Sarum airport, and immediately the Royal Air Force began flying sorties of men and equipment back to the UK and various other Commonwealth countries. Many Rhodesians, and most especially the white population, had been hoping that Joshua Nkomo would win the election, as he was considered the more stable of the two candidates. It came as a shock for most whites when Robert Mugabe was announced as the winner, swiftly changing the name | 6,122,623 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
of the country to Zimbabwe. The whites who remained were mainly farmers as they stood to lose everything, as the first law Mugabe passed was that anyone leaving Zimbabwe, could take no more than a couple of hundred dollars with them. Those Rhodesians who left the country were virtually penniless.
By 16 March 1980, all of the Monitoring Force had departed from Rhodesia, apart from a small volunteer group (about 40 men) of British infantry instructors who were to train the new Zimbabwe National Army. Three weeks later on 18 April 1980, at a ceremony that was attended by HRH Prince Charles, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time from Government House in Salisbury, and the new African nation | 6,122,624 |
6867118 | Operation Midford | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Midford | Operation Midford
ion of Zimbabwe declared itself independent as a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations.

Ferry Wharf
Bhaucha Dhakka (also called as Ferry Wharf) is a wharf along the Thane Creek, along the coast of Dockyard Road on the Eastern seafront of Mumbai, the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The wharf serves as the port for numerous fishermen who bring in their daily catch. Ferry services link up JNPT, Uran to the east, and Rewas and Mandwa to the south. The wharf is used by the students of the "Training Ship Rahaman "which is an institute for maritime studies on the island of Nhava.
The wharf is serviced by BEST buses and till the late 1980s also used to be the port of call for the Mumbai-Goa ferry services. The nearest railway station is Dockyard Road on Harbour Line services | 6,122,628 |
6867266 | Ferry Wharf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ferry%20Wharf | Ferry Wharf
of Central Railway. Local trains towards Bandra, Andheri,Vashi,Belapur,Panvel halt at this station. These trains originate from CSMT that is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.
Ferry Wharf aka Bhaucha Dhakka was built by Lakshman Hari Chandarjee Ajinkya(1789-1858) . He belonged to the Pathare Prabhu community (one of the original inhabitants of Mumbai).He was affectionately addressed as Bhau or big brother by the local people. His family had estates at Naigaum and Parel and he worked as Chief Clerk in the Gun Carriage Factory in Colaba. Information given in the Govt. Archives and in the Marathi book ‘Pathare Prabhuncha Itihaas’ by Pratap Velkar reveal that Mumbai did not have a regular pier | 6,122,629 |
6867266 | Ferry Wharf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ferry%20Wharf | Ferry Wharf
and in the Marathi book ‘Pathare Prabhuncha Itihaas’ by Pratap Velkar reveal that Mumbai did not have a regular pier or wharf till 1835 for either goods or passengers. The government started leasing out land on the Bombay frontage to private individuals to build wet docks and basins. Laksman Hari Chandarjee Ajinkya alias ‘Bhau’ was the first local to take this opportunity. He thus constructed Mumbai’s first wet dock in 1841 for the convenience of the passengers and incoming ships to load, embark and berth. These included Carnac and Claire bunders. Today, the passenger terminal at the Bhau-Cha-Dhakka is still used to ferry people to Mora and Rewas for their onward journeys to Uran and Alibag. | 6,122,630 |

Belgrade Drama Theatre
The Belgrade Drama Theatre (; abbr. BDP) is a theatre located in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
# History.
Belgrade Drama Theatre was founded in August 1947, and it was the first city theater formed in Belgrade after the Second World War. The first opening night of "The Youth of the Fathers" by Boris Gorbatov staged by Petar S. Petrović was performed on the stage on 20 February 1948. The building on Crveni Krst, in which this theater is nowadays, was opened in the season of 1948/49, and the first opening night performed on this stage was "Sumnjivo lice" by Branislav Nušić, produced by Bosnian Salko Repak, on 20 March 1949. In the period from 1959 to 1975, Belgrade | 6,122,638 |
6867332 | Belgrade Drama Theatre | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Belgrade%20Drama%20Theatre | Belgrade Drama Theatre
Drama Theatre, with Belgrade Comedy, made one theater house - "Contemporary Theater", and in December 1975, it became the Belgrade Drama Theater again.
In the mid-1950s and in the beginning of the 1960s, BDP had its "golden" period, mostly owing to particularly successful performances of the works of contemporary American playwrights and a brilliant galaxy of actors, stage managers, stage designers, costume designers, who, with their talents, made the reputation of the stage on Crveni Krst. The legendary performances of "Death of a Salesman", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "The Glass Menagerie", "Mother Courage and Her Children", "A View from the Bridge" and other contemporary classics came near | 6,122,639 |
6867332 | Belgrade Drama Theatre | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Belgrade%20Drama%20Theatre | Belgrade Drama Theatre
rage and Her Children", "A View from the Bridge" and other contemporary classics came near the cult status among the theatergoers.
In the spring of 2003, a thorough reconstruction of the theater building was completed, bringing it to the level of high European standards.
As of 2010, Belgrade Drama Theatre is among the most popular theaters in Belgrade. It has a seating capacity of 495 seats. Today, Belgrade Drama Theatre works with a repertory artistic company and carries on the tradition created by performances of the classic and avant-garde dramatic literature, whereby it has created and maintained its recognizable style and artistic expression.

U.S. Route 220 in Virginia
In the U.S. state of Virginia, U.S. Route 220 (US 220) is a major north-south state highway that extends from the North Carolina state line through Roanoke to the West Virginia state line. South of Roanoke, US 220 is a four-lane highway within the proposed Interstate 73 (I-73) corridor. US 220 narrows to two lanes north of Roanoke, connecting to I-64 near Clifton Forge and then paralleling the Appalachian Mountains north-northeasterly in the direction of Cumberland, Maryland.
# Route description.
US 220 enters Virginia just north of the community of Price, North Carolina. From the state line to Roanoke, US 220 is a four-lane mix of freeway bypasses and at-grade rural | 6,122,644 |
6867147 | U.S. Route 220 in Virginia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=U.S.%20Route%20220%20in%20Virginia | U.S. Route 220 in Virginia
highway. Some high traffic areas and non-divided stretches have speed limits of or lower. In particular, the stretch through Boones Mill is not divided; the town is also well known as a speed trap. This segment follows the same general alignment as the Norfolk Southern Railway's Winston-Salem District, opened in 1892 by the Roanoke and Southern Railway.
US 220 meets the northern terminus of State Route 87 in Ridgeway, and soon after turns west to bypass the city of Martinsville on a freeway partially shared with US 58. Another bypass takes the highway around the town of Rocky Mount, after which US 220 crosses the Blue Ridge at Murray Gap. Soon after entering the city of Roanoke, US 220 intersects | 6,122,645 |

SR 419 and again becomes a freeway, this one passing just east of downtown Roanoke and becoming Interstate 581 northwest to Interstate 81.
US 220 overlaps I-81 northeast to near Daleville, where it exits to the north onto a four-lane road through Daleville and Fincastle. Near Eagle Rock, the road narrows to two lanes and begins to parallel the James River. US 220 follows the James River and its major tributary, the Jackson River, north to near Clifton Forge, where it begins to overlap Interstate 64 and US 60 west, still following the Jackson River, to Covington. Also paralleling these rivers are CSX Transportation's Alleghany Subdivision and James River Subdivision, opened in 1867 and 1881 | 6,122,646 |
6867147 | U.S. Route 220 in Virginia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=U.S.%20Route%20220%20in%20Virginia | U.S. Route 220 in Virginia
respectively by the Virginia Central Railroad and Richmond and Alleghany Railroad.
US 220 is a two-lane road for the rest of its route from Covington to West Virginia, as it travels through a series of valleys in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. It begins by following more of the Jackson River to near Clearwater Park, but then crosses a ridge into a different valley. This is repeated several times until Forks of Waters, where the South Branch Potomac River enters US 220's valley and parallels its final to the state line.

Carolina Road. "The route was improved as a stage road in the early years of the republic. In 1838 it was rebuilt to serve the Pittsylvania, Franklin and Botetourt Turnpike, which served to connect south central Virginia with the Valley."
As a U.S. Highway, US 220 was initially part of U.S. Route 311, which split from US 11 at Roanoke and ran south to Aberdeen, North Carolina. This was also part of State Route 33, one of Virginia's original state highways from 1918 (which was numbered 3 until 1923). Other than the US 60 overlap, two other segments date to 1918: part of SR 17 from Covington to Warm Springs, and part of SR 39 (originally 9) from Vanderpool to Monterey.

filled starting in 1922, with the legislative designation of a spur of SR 14 from Clifton Forge south to Eagle Rock, which was numbered State Route 142 in 1923. 1924 saw the beginning of the extension of SR 142 southwest to US 11 at Troutville, and it was also extended along SR 14 east to Longdale Furnace and then north to Millboro Springs. In 1926 it became part of a realignment of SR 17, with that route's former routing to Covington becoming part of new State Route 338.
The first piece of State Route 395, which ended up extending from Warm Springs to West Virginia, was also created in 1924 as a spur from SR 39 at Monterey. The entire Covington-West Virginia corridor (SR 395 and part of SR | 6,122,649 |

extending from Warm Springs to West Virginia, was also created in 1924 as a spur from SR 39 at Monterey. The entire Covington-West Virginia corridor (SR 395 and part of SR 338) became State Route 800 in 1928 (along with an extension southwest from Covington), and was renumbered State Route 18 in 1933. Also in 1933, the part of SR 17 south of Clifton Forge became State Route 12.
US 220 was extended into Virginia in 1935, replacing SR 18 north of Covington, all of SR 12, and all of US 311 in Virginia. US 311 has since been re-extended into the state west of Danville.
The modern US 220 corridor was added to the state highway system as follows:

Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
The Wellington to Craven Arms Railway was formed by a group of railway companies that eventually joined the Great Western Railway family, and connected Wellington, Shropshire and Shifnal, with Coalbrookdale, Buildwas, Much Wenlock and a junction near Craven Arms. Its objectives were dominated by the iron, colliery and limestone industries around Coalbrookdale.
The route sections that together formed the network were
- the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Coalbrookdale branch from Madeley Junction (near Shifnal) to Lightmoor;
- the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway from Ketley Junction (near Wellington) to Lightmoor;
- the Great Western Railway Coalbrookdale | 6,122,651 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
extension from Lightmoor to Coalbrookdale;
- the Wenlock Railway from Coalbrookdale to Buildwas;
- the Much Wenlock and Severn Junction Railway from Buildwas to Much Wenlock;
- the Wenlock Railway from Much Wenlock to Marsh Farm Junction, north of Craven Arms.
The railways were opened in the period from 1854 to 1867. The railways local to Coalbrookdale were heavily used by mineral traffic; the hoped-for trunk hauls to and from South Wales via Craven Arms were not realised. Passenger traffic was never heavy, and was sparse between Much Wenlock and Craven Arms. Passenger traffic closures took place from 1951 and ordinary goods traffic closed down in the 1960s. Ironbridge B Power Station generated | 6,122,652 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
significant volumes of merry-go-round coal traffic between 1967 and 2015. The line is now entirely closed to ordinary traffic, but the heritage Telford Steam Railway operates on a section near Doseley.
# Background.
From the early medieval period, Coalbrookdale was a centre of extraction of coal. The River Severn provided the route for transport to market, and pack horses on primitive roads were also used. As the early part of the Industrial Revolution took place, there was a demand for limestone, a key ingredient of the iron making process, and the iron itself had to be transported away. Wooden railways and plateways had long been used to get access to the river, but the steep-sided valley | 6,122,653 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
through which the river ran, and the hilly terrain in general, discouraged canal building, and for a time limited railway access too.
There was considerable industry in the steep-sided valley of the river Severn around Coalbrookdale. From 1709 Abraham Darby the elder established an iron foundry there, leading to a massive increase in technological and industrial output, and the formation later of the Coalbrookdale Company. Transport of raw materials and finished products was difficult, and heavy use was made of the river Severn.
# Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway.
When the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway planned its line, it was projected to run through Wellington, to the north of Coalbrookdale, | 6,122,654 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
avoiding the difficult terrain of the Severn Valley. It was authorised on 3 August 1846, and the authorisation included a mile branch to Coalbrookdale. Construction proceeded and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway opened its main line in 1849. Many manufacturers transferred their transport to the railway, reaching the industrial districts in the north west of England more conveniently.
The authorised branch line to Coalbrookdale was from near Ketley, a mile east of Wellington. In the 1847 and 1849 sessions of Parliament the S&BR obtained an Act for a branch line to Madeley from a triangular junction near Shifnal, and an extension from Coalbrookdale to Ironbridge.
Not all of these branches | 6,122,655 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
were made. However the Madeley branch was built, and opened in November 1854 as far as Madeley Court from near Shifnal at what became Madeley Junction. It was extended on 1 October 1855 to Lightmoor, which was a major centre of the metal industry.Jones, page 38
# Wellington and Lightmoor.
John Dickson of the Shropshire Works, Wellington, had furnaces at Ketley, a mile or so south of Wellington, and in February 1851 he had opened a short private line from Waterloo Sidings, at Wellington, to Ketley.
In October 1852 the Coalbrookdale Company discussed extending Dickson's line to Coalbrookdale, but the cost was considered unaffordable, and a public company was promoted instead: it was to be called | 6,122,656 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway. Despite opposition from other railway companies, the Royal Assent was given to the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway Act on 20 August 1853. The S&BR gave technical assistance and some financial help. The cost of building the line was estimated at £60,000.
Acquisition of land proved easier than elsewhere, suggesting that landowners saw the railway as an aid to their business interests. The construction focussed on the easier part of the line, but even so progress was slow. A demonstration run on the line from Ketley to Horsehay for shareholders took place on 21 February 1857, and it appears that goods and mineral traffic operated on this section | 6,122,657 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
from that time. It opened fully on 1 May 1858.
At a shareholders' meeting on 25 March 1858, it was reported that the line was nearly completed into Lightmoor. A junction was to be formed there with the Madeley and Lightmoor branch of the Great Western Railway. However the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway could not raise enough money to build on from Lightmoor to Coalbrookdale, and the Company decided to leave the completion in abeyance.
The section from Ketley to Horsehay was inspected by Captain Tyler for the Board of Trade on 3 March 1859, but he was scathing about the deficiencies and he declined to approve the line for passenger traffic. A second visit by Captain Ross also disclosed | 6,122,658 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
unacceptable features. Hasty rectification was made, and the line was opened for passenger traffic, in fact all the way to Lightmoor, on 2 May 1859. Lightmoor was not a passenger destination in itself, being a centre of the iron industry, so in collaboration with the GWR, the passenger service ran from Wellington to Lightmoor Junction, reversing there, and then on to Shifnal via Madeley over the GWR (former S&BR) branch line.
Some shareholders expressed dissatisfaction that their railway terminated at Lightmoor, but the directors were adamant in declining to undertake to complete the line to Coalbrookdale; there was no possibility at the time of raising the necessary money to do so.
The line | 6,122,659 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
was worked by the Coalbrookdale Company until 1 July 1861. After that it was leased to the West Midland Railway and the Great Western Railway jointly; the lease was ratified by Act of 1 August 1861. Following an agreement with the West Midland Railway the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway was operated by them. The WMR amalgamated with the GWR on 1 August 1863, keeping the name Great Western Railway, and the GWR then took over the working arrangement.
# The Much Wenlock & Severn Junction Railway.
Interested parties in Much Wenlock also saw the potential of linking their town to the growing railway network. The Severn Valley Railway was authorised on 20 August 1853 and when built would | 6,122,660 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
bring a railway line to Buildwas, four miles away. A meeting held in September 1853 was supportive, but it took some years to prepare a definite scheme: it went to Parliament, and on 21 July 1859 the Royal Assent was given: it authorised a Railway from Much Wenlock to join the Severn Valley Railway (then under construction) at Buildwas; authorised capital was £24,000.
Construction proceeded and a Board of Trade inspection of the line was carried out by Col William Yolland on 31 December 1861. He required a number of changes, but these were swiftly made, and on 30 January 1862 he made a second visit, this time agreeing to the opening.
The line between Much Wenlock and Buildwas was opened on | 6,122,661 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
1 February 1862 for passenger and goods traffic; the opening day was the same day as the opening of the Severn Valley Railway between Shrewsbury and Kidderminster. The Severn Valley Railway was leased from the outset by the GWR. The Severn Valley Railway's undertaking had been leased to the West Midland Railway from 1 July 1860.
There were three daily trains from Much Wenlock to Shrewsbury, via the Severn Valley Railway, and four in the opposite direction.
# Wenlock Railway.
The 1859 authorisation of the Wenlock and Severn Junction Railway encouraged more ambitious thoughts, and led to preparation of the Much Wenlock, Craven Arms and Coalbrookdale Railway. Coalbrookdale and its iron industries | 6,122,662 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
were only two miles from the line at Buildwas. At the same time the collieries and iron industries of South Wales beckoned. Coal of different qualities was required for mixing as the iron production processes became more sophisticated. A line to Craven Arms would connect with the [[Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway] and through it, the [[Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway]], enabling the desired South Wales to Coalbrookdale connection.
The project was successful in Parliament and obtained its authorising Act on 22 July 1861 under the title, "the Wenlock Railway". It was to build a short extension line from the Severn Valley Railway at Buildwas up to Coalbrookdale, and a much longer line | 6,122,663 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
from Much Wenlock towards Craven Arms, making a junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway at Marsh Farm, three miles north of Craven Arms. Capital was £125,000.
## Buildwas to Coalbrookdale.
The Coalbrookdale extension was planned collaboratively with the Much Wenlock and Severn Valley Junction Railway, and that company contributed £10,000 as a subscription, in view of its obvious interest in having the connecting railway made. The GWR too agreed to assist with the works, as the West Midland Railway, at this time (1861) not yet a friend of the GWR, had been planning a rival connection from Buildwas to Coalbrookdale.
The Wenlock Railway's Act of 1861 gave the company powers from a | 6,122,664 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
junction with the Wenlock and Severn Junction Railway at Buildwas across the River Severn to the lower works of the Coalbrookdale Company.
An Act of 1864 set out the arrangements for the GWR to operate the Coalbrookdale extension. The estimated cost of building the extension was to be £40,000, of which the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway would subscribe £10,000, the Wenlock Railway £10,000, and the GWR £20,000. The line opened on 1 November 1864.
The major engineering work on the extension was the Albert Edward Bridge over the River Severn.

Birmingham Railway had been absorbed by the Great Western Railway on 1 September 1854, so that the main line at Wellington, and the Madeley branch to Lightmoor were part of that company. The GWR had a Bill in Parliament in the same session as the Wenlock Railway's Bill. It was to authorise the GWR to build from Lightmoor to Coalbrookdale, reaching that place from the north while the Wenlock scheme would approach from the south.
The Great Western Railway (Lightmoor and Coalbrookdale) Act was passed on 1 August 1861. Although it was a short line it was exceptionally expensive due to the difficult terrain: this was why the S&BR had stopped short of building it a decade earlier. The line opened | 6,122,666 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
to traffic on 1 November 1864, having cost £70,000 for two miles of line.
The GWR closed Lightmoor station on the day of opening of the extension.
## Much Wenlock to Craven Arms.
The Craven Arms section of the Wenlock Railway was a much tougher construction task. Five years were planned for the work. Local opposition forced the company to alter its intended route south of Wenlock Edge to an alignment further north; this involved a tunnel through the Edge west of Presthope.
The objective was a junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway; it had been leased to the LNWR and the GWR jointly in 1862. The work progressed, and the section from Much Wenlock to Presthope was opened for goods | 6,122,667 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
and mineral traffic on 5 December 1864, enabling limestone from Wenlock Edge to be brought to Coalbrookdale. The company was unable to raise further money, and decided on 4 December 1863 not to proceed with the line onward to Craven Arms for the time being.
In 1865 the GWR agreed to make an annual payment of £5,000 to the Wenlock Railway as a commuted payment for working the line between Wenlock and Presthope, and this cash inflow enabled the Wenlock Railway to resume construction. By the end of September 1867 the line on to Marsh Farm was thought to be ready, but Colonel Rich for the Board of Trade condemned the rail chairs of 21 lb. and 22 lb., saying they were too light and had to be replaced | 6,122,668 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
by 30 lb. chairs. This decision meant that the whole of the track between Presthope and Marsh Farm Junction had to be taken up and relaid at an extra cost of £2,244. On 9 December 1867 Colonel Rich approved of the line, and the entire line from Buildwas to Marsh Farm Junction was opened to passenger traffic on 16 December 1867.
The journey time from Wellington to Craven Arms was 90 minutes for 28 miles.

The relationship between the Wenlock companies and the GWR was not smooth; the small companies resented the large proportion of income – 42.5% – that the GWR was retaining for working the line, and there were many detail issues that became | 6,122,669 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
contentious. In 1861 the [[London and North Western Railway]] had opened its [[Coalport branch line]], and the possibility arose of connecting the Wenlock lines to it, by-passing the GWR. In 1872 plans were prepared for a line from Lightmoor to the LNWR line near [[Madeley Court]]; incidentally the line would also link in furnaces at [[Stirchley, Shropshire|Stirchley]], Hinkshay and Blists Hill.
The scheme, called the Much Wenlock and Severn Junction (Lightmoor Extensions) Act, got the Royal Assent on 21 July 1873. There were to be northwards and southwards junctions with the LNWR line. The Wenlock companies had relied on the Coalbrookdale Company subscribing a substantial sum to the construction, | 6,122,670 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
but now that Company said that the downturn in the Shropshire iron trade meant that they could not do so. There was now no possibility of making the new line.
# Absorbed by the Great Western Railway.
Small railway companies reliant on a dominant partner often found that continued independence was not worthwhile. The Wellington and Severn Junction Railway had long been leased to the Great Western Railway, so that the smaller Company was simply a financial entity. In July 1892 it agreed terms with the GWR and was absorbed by it.
This left the Wenlock companies in an uneasy relationship with the GWR. In December 1887 the GWR made new proposals for the payments it would make for working the line, | 6,122,671 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
but the smaller companies stalled. In fact the working agreement with the GWR expired at the end of June 1893, but by the end of December 1893 agreement had still not been reached, and the GWR stated that it was not prepared to continue to work the line on the present terms. The GWR offered terms for purchasing the companies, but these were refused. In frustration the GWR threatened to cease working the line. The Wenlock Companies now accepted the GWR terms; the takeover was effective from October 1896.
# Introduction of railmotors.
The Great Western Railway introduced [[Railmotor|railmotors]] from 1904; these were self-contained carriages with an integrated small steam engine. Generally they | 6,122,672 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
had power-operated steps enabling passenger calls to be made at stopping places without elevated platforms. They were considered ideal for lightly-trafficked lines. From 1 May 1906 they were brought into the passenger services on the Wellington to Craven Arms and Shifnal network. Their ability to reverse direction without the necessity for the locomotive to run round was an advantage, and some of the Wellington services ran via Shifnal, reversing there to run via Madeley. The railmotors' weakness was the small passenger capacity; on the steeply graded routes they were unable to haul a trailer, and they were considered unsuccessful on the Wenlock lines, and in 1906 they were taken off.
# Madeley | 6,122,673 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
branch passenger closure.
The Madeley branch from Shifnal to Lightmoor had always been very sparsely used, and the passenger train service was correspondingly thin. The service was withdrawn on 23 March 23 1915, but reintroduced for a short period from 13 July 1925 to 21 September 21 1925.
# Ironbridge power station.
On 13 October 1932 an electricity generating station was inaugurated at Ironbridge. This brought considerable volumes of coal traffic to the branch. The power station was designed to burn slack coal.
# GWR diesel railcars.

6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
trials were carried out with one of the [[GWR railcars|GWR's A.E.C. diesel railcars]]. However the trial was unsuccessful because of the severity of the gradients and, in addition, the inability of the earlier cars to haul a trailer if traffic demanded it.
# Decline.
Following the end of [[World War II]], there was a steep decline in passenger business between Much Wenlock and Craven Arms, and the decision was taken to close the service; it ceased on 31 December 1951.
A seven mile stub from Marsh Farm Junction was retained for wagon storage purposes, but in December 1955 it was cut back to a half-mile section at Marsh Farm Junction end, used for parking the Royal Train overnight during visits | 6,122,675 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
of the Royal Family to the area.
The passenger service from Wellington to Much Wenlock closed to passengers on 23 July 1962. and concurrently the line between Ketley Junction and Ketley station was closed completely, Ketley and Much Wenlock being serviced via Madeley.
On 4 December 1963 the freight working between Much Wenlock and Longville was withdrawn; on 19 January 1964 goods working between Buildwas and Much Wenlock also ceased; and finally on 6 July 1964 all freight working ceased between Lightmoor Jn and Ketley.
# Power station traffic.
Ironbridge B Power Station was inaugurated in 1967. The 1932 installation, now designated Ironbridge A, was decommissioned in 1981. The section of | 6,122,676 |
6867176 | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wellington%20to%20Craven%20Arms%20Railway | Wellington to Craven Arms Railway
line between Madeley Jn and Buildwas via Lightmoor carried merry-go-round coal trains feeding the power stations, and the usage was considerable, but Ironbridge B has now been decommissioned, from 2015. At present (2019) there is no ordinary revenue traffic.

to the Victoria Bridge near Arley... and like it was designed by Sir John Fowler and cast by the Coalbrookdale Company. The four iron ribs are in nine sections bolted together and spring from brick abutments. The decking is supported from the arch by cast iron verticals heavily cross-braced. The original wrought iron and timber decking was replaced in 1933 by steel beams and plates, supporting ballasted track. This is thought to be one of the last, if not the last, major cat iron railway bridges to have been built and is still in use today, carrying the daily coal supply to the Ironbridge Electricity Generating Station nearby.

Keith McGowan
Keith McGowan OAM (9 March 1943 – 22 December 2013) was an Australian radio presenter. He was born in Melbourne, Australia and died there, aged 70 years.
# Radio career.
McGowan got his first job in radio in May 1957, when he started as an office boy at 3UZ at the age of 14. His mother had heard about the job while listening to the station. Then he worked at the following radio stations in order: 3TR, 7BU, 7HO, 6PR, 3TR (again), 2NM, 2KA, 2HD, 2UW, 3MP, 3DB, 3AK, 3AW.
McGowan first made a name for himself in Perth at 6PR in the mid-1960s, where he and his station, then known as "The Home of the Good Guys" rose to the top of the ratings. After his retirement, McGowan stated that | 6,122,683 |
6867198 | Keith McGowan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keith%20McGowan | Keith McGowan
his days at 6PR from 1964 to 1968 were the highlight of his career.
In 1990 he joined Melbourne radio station 3AW hosting the overnight program "Overnighters" from midnight until 5.30 am Monday to Friday. McGowan would develop a cult following in Melbourne through this long running show. Regular contributors were Brad Higgins, Nick Le Souef the "Outback Legend" and Chris DeFraga on motoring. The Antiques and Collectibles Radio Show was also featured, from midnight to 2 am Friday mornings. Tony Shields, from Shields Stamps and Coins and Rick Milne were regular contributors.
He celebrated his 50th anniversary of broadcasting on 27 May 2007.
McGowan retired in July 2011, after presenting the | 6,122,684 |
6867198 | Keith McGowan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keith%20McGowan | Keith McGowan
"Overnighters" program on 3AW for 21 years. His final program was broadcast on Friday, 22 July 2011. McGowan said the highlight of his career was that after 54 years of broadcasting, "I chose my own time to give it all away".
# Television.
In the 1960s McGowan hosted a show called "Teen Time On Ten" on regional Victorian television station GLV-10.
# Recordings.
In 1979 McGowan had a top ten hit in Australia with a narrative piece called "A Little Boy's Christmas Prayer" which has since been re–released on compilation CDs.
He also compiled and released a nostalgia CD containing tracks by various artists, called "And Then Came Rock n Roll".
# Publications/writing.
McGowan published six | 6,122,685 |
6867198 | Keith McGowan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keith%20McGowan | Keith McGowan
books, known as the Overnighters books. Titles include "Thanks for the Memories", "You Must Remember This", "Motherhood and Apple Pie" "The way we were" "Good on You, Dad" and "Down memory lane".
Following his retirement he was a regular contributor on "radioinfo" a website for broadcast professionals.
# Personal life.
McGowan married his wife, Angela, in February 2006 on a paddle steamer in Echuca, Victoria. He had a son and a daughter from his first marriage, to Jill.
McGowan bred and raced standard-bred (harness) horses and travelled extensively throughout Australia, particularly in the outback. He supported the St Kilda Football Club and Melbourne Storm.
In January 1977, McGowan was | 6,122,686 |
6867198 | Keith McGowan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keith%20McGowan | Keith McGowan
a passenger on the train that left the tracks and hit a bridge causing it to collapse on two carriages of the train, resulting in 83 deaths. The tragedy occurred in Granville in Sydney's west and became known as the Granville rail disaster. McGowan survived because he always sat in the last carriage as he felt it was safer. His first-hand reporting of the tragedy on radio 2UW, on the John Laws program, was "one of the most powerful news reports filed in Australian radio", according to award-winning news reporter and journalist, Andrew Rule.
Overnight on 19 December 2013, McGowan suffered a stroke in his sleep and died at approximately 11.00pm on 22 December 2013, after his life support was | 6,122,687 |

Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira
Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira (December 9, 1914 in Madrid – June 9, 1933 in Madrid) was an activist for socialism and sexual revolution, born and raised by her mother as a model for the woman of the future. She spoke 6 languages when eight years old, finished law school as a teenager, and was a leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and afterward of the Federal Party. By the time she was 17 years old and had become internationally known, her mother shot her to death.
# Childhood.
Hildegart was conceived in Ferrol by Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira and an undisclosed biological father chosen by her mother with eugenic intentions. When she was sure she | 6,122,689 |
6867261 | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hildegart%20Rodríguez%20Carballeira | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira
was pregnant, she moved to Madrid, where Hildegart was born. Aurora set a clock to wake herself up every hour, allowing her to change her sleep position so blood could irrigate the fetus uniformly.
Her birth certificate and baptism act says: Hildegart Leocadia Georgina Hermenegilda Maria del Pilar Rodriguez Carballeira, but she only used her first name. In spite of Aurora's atheism and opposition to birth registration, she baptised (late) the girl on 23 March and registered on 29 April. Her mother used to explain that Hildegart meant "Garden of Wisdom" in German, but there's no basis to that, the name was either an invention or an alternative spelling of the Nordic/German name Hildegard.
According | 6,122,690 |
6867261 | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hildegart%20Rodríguez%20Carballeira | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira
to later research by Rosa Cal, her father was a brilliant military chaplain, Alberto Payás.
In June 1928, at age 13½, Hildegart enrolled in the School of Law of the Complutense University of Madrid. She later gave lessons at its School of Philosophy during the Second Spanish Republic.
# The sexual revolution.
Hildegart was one of the most active people in the Spanish movement for sex reformation.
She was connected to the European vanguard, corresponding with Havelock Ellis, whom she translated, and Margaret Sanger.
In the foundation of the Spanish League for the Sexual Reform, presided by Dr Gregorio Marañón, she was chosen secretary without opposition.
She had correspondence with many | 6,122,691 |
6867261 | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hildegart%20Rodríguez%20Carballeira | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira
other European personalities, accompanying Herbert George Wells in his visit to Madrid, but rejecting his offer to go to London as his secretary.
This offer by Wells, who wanted her to develop fully out of the influence of her mother, furthered the persecution ideas of Aurora.
# Death.
There were several hypotheses about the cause of the murder. Hildegart may have fallen in love. She intended to separate from her mother who, out of paranoia, threatened suicide. Aurora's explanation was that "the sculptor, after discovering a minimal imperfection in his work, destroys it." She shot her daughter twice in the head and twice in the heart (three shots to the head and one to the heart, according | 6,122,692 |
6867261 | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hildegart%20Rodríguez%20Carballeira | Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira
to Spanish Wikipedia) (one shot to the head and three to the heart, according to Giles Tremlett's Ghosts of Spain).
She was sentenced to 26 years, but was later transferred to a mental institution in Ciempozuelos, Madrid, where she died in 1955.

SCOOP (software)
SCOOP (Simple Concurrent Object Oriented Programming) is a concurrency model designed for the Eiffel programming language, conceived by Eiffel's creator and designer, Bertrand Meyer.
SCOOP defines a way for an object oriented program to be written without the concept of threads, locks, or other typical multiprogramming methods. This allows the compiler or runtime environment to optimize the amount of concurrency as well as eliminate typical design flaws such as deadlock.
The model was first designed in the early 1990s and published in 1993 in the Communications of the ACM An updated version was described in chapter 30 of the book "Object-Oriented Software Construction".
A | 6,122,697 |
6867365 | SCOOP (software) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SCOOP%20(software) | SCOOP (software)
prototype implementation was developed in 1995 by Eiffel Software. An article by Compton and Walker provides an overview of SCOOP and describes another early implementation. Nienaltowski, Arslan and Meyer have published a description of the model as of 2003. Work on SCOOP proceeded at the Chair of Software Engineering at ETH Zurich. SCOOP became available as a standard part of EiffelStudio early in 2011.
# Technical overview.
SCOOP works by allowing references to certain objects to be declared as separate. In the code below, an entity codice_1 is declared as a separate type, by specifying the Eiffel language keyword codice_2 in the declaration.
A separate object may be handled by a SCOOP | 6,122,698 |
6867365 | SCOOP (software) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SCOOP%20(software) | SCOOP (software)
processor that is different from the processor handling the referencing object. A SCOOP processor is the abstract notion of an autonomous thread of control that handles the execution of operations on one or more objects. SCOOP processors are independent of underlying concurrency mechanisms like processor threads, multiple processor cores, and distributed computer systems.
In addition to the concept of separateness, SCOOP exploits the principles of "design by contract" as part of the SCOOP strategy for synchronizing access to shared separate resources. For example, a precondition for a consumer wishing to access an item in the inventory example above, might be that such an item does currently | 6,122,699 |
