Q5107730 Christopher Thomas Peploe (born 26 April 1981) is an English cricketer who currently works at The John Lyon School. A left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler, he currently plays List A cricket for the Unicorns in the Clydesdale Bank 40.Born in Hammersmith, he was an MCC Young Cricketer in 2002 and played for Middlesex between 2003 and 2008. His two finest hours with the bat being when he scored 42 against Sussex in 2005 and 46 against Lancashire in 2006. In total, he scored 530 first-class runs at an average of 15.58.However, it was his bowling that led to him playing 26 County Championship games for Middlesex as well as 17 in the various forms of limited-overs cricket and 15 in the Twenty20 Cup.The statistics would say his best performances came in limited-overs matches, in which he took 26 wickets at an average of 22.92 and strike rate of 31.38. He twice took four-wicket hauls in this form of the game, one of which came in front of the Sky cameras against Glamorgan in 2005.He took one wicket every 22.1 balls, which is better than in the other two forms of cricket.

He was mainly kept out of the side by Jamie Dalrymple, who often played ahead of Peploe when it was decided to play only one spinner. However, the signing of Murali Kartik in 2007 pushed him further down the pecking order – Peploe only played three matches that year – while Shaun Udal made it three specialist spinners in 2008.In 2005, he played seven first-class games, gaining 18 wickets.

Q2476526 "I'm Eighteen" is a song by rock band Alice Cooper, first released as a single in November 1970 backed with "Is It My Body". It was the band's first top-forty success—peaking at number 21—and convinced Warner Bros. that Alice Cooper had the commercial potential to release an album. The song and its B-side feature on the band's first major-label album Love It to Death (1971).The anthemic song is driven by a lumbering, arpeggiated guitar riff and aggressive, raspy vocals. The lyrics tell of the angst and of being "in the middle" between youth and adulthood. It began as an eight-minute jam that young Canadian producer Bob Ezrin persuaded the band into tightening into a tight three-minute rocker.The song was the band's breakthrough, and left a considerable influence on hard rock, punk, and heavy metal. Joey Ramone wrote his first song for the Ramones based on the chords to "I'm Eighteen", and John Lydon auditioned for the Sex Pistols by miming to the song. Bands such as thrash metalers Anthrax have covered the song, and Kiss settled out of court for plagiarism of the song over the 1998 track "Dreamin'".

Q5278406 Dinner Music For People Who Aren't Very Hungry - Spike Jones Demonstrates Your Hi-Fi was the first long-playing release by comedic bandleader Spike Jones.Released in 1956 by Verve Records under catalog number MG V-4005, the album is an unusual mix of Jones' ongoing (and offbeat) commentary on the relatively new technology of high fidelity audio combined with then-new recordings of some of his classic comedy numbers, again in a high fidelity format. ("Cocktails for Two" and "Chloe" were dubbed from 1940s' Standard Transcriptions and re-equalized for hi-fi, according to Jones' archivist Ted Hering).Dinner Music came about because of Jones' fascination with the possibilities high-fidelity recording presented, almost at the exclusion of music for commentary and the presentation of sound effects. As such, it can be argued that the album has not aged well given the technological leaps in audio reproduction over the last five decades, including subsequent leaps in the technology of phonograph record production. The record's most noticeable shortcoming is that it is in mono, because it was recorded a few years before stereo records became available. It remains, however, a highly collectible record and a top-notch showcase of the high caliber of musicianship necessary to create the Spike Jones brand of novelty songs.The liner notes, written by noted composer and conductor Dimitri Tiomkin, speak of the aforementioned virtuosity of Jones' musicians. They also list the rather broad range of "instruments" heard on the album in their order of appearance. Among them were a "burpaphone," "assorted belches," "garbage disposal grinding up violin" and, in a rather daring move for the mid-1950s, a sexually charged reference to something called a "poontangaphone". He quotes an article from the Chicago Daily News of August 30, 1956: "Spike Jones got into the Michigan Boulevard repair act Wednesday. Turned up on a curbstone at 7:00 A.M. with Bill Putnam of Universal Recording, plus one tape recorder; gravely recorded the noise of a pneumatic drill to be added to a Spike Jones Dinner Music Album."Tiomkin was also bold enough to make the claim that one of the tracks was "one of the greatest examples of musicianship ever recorded." That track was The Sneezin' Bee, based on Flight of the Bumblebee. Considered possible only on flute, violin or piano, the number was recorded a tempo and in real time on trombone by guest artist Tommy Pederson, with former Slicker pianist Frank Leithner contributing the sneezes.The album was released on compact disc October 25, 1990 on Rhino Records.

Q2942226 The Cathedral of Our Lady of Valvanera (also Maronite Cathedral of Our Lady of Valvanera sometimes spelled Balvanera, Spanish: Catedral Maronita de Nuestra Señora de Valvanera) is located southeast of the main plaza, or Zocalo, of Mexico City on the corner of Correo Mayor and Republica de Uruguay in the historic center. The church originally belonged to the Convent of Santo Niño Perdido which was founded in 1573. This would then become a Conceptionist convent in the 17th century, when the church and convent were rebuilt in 1667. It also gained its current name at that time.Due to the Reform Laws in 1861, the nuns were required to vacate the convent portion and the cloister and other buildings associated with the church were demolished. Its main altar was nearly destroyed during the political struggles of the 19th century but the oil of the Black Virgin of Valvanera (or Balvanera) remains.The church is of Baroque style with its main entrance at the side of the church, as was common with convents in Mexico. The bell tower is covered in tile from Puebla. Only this church and the church of La Encarnación have Puebla tile on the bell towers. The church facade is of tezontle divided by five buttresses and topped by an entablature with a frieze with anagrams of the names of Jesus and Mary.

Q7501765 Short Cut Draw Blood is the third studio album by the British musician Jim Capaldi, released by Island Records in 1975. It marked a major turning point in Capaldi's career: it was his first album recorded after the breakup of Traffic, and more importantly it was his commercial breakthrough. While Capaldi's first two solo albums had been moderately successful in the United States (in fact, in Short Cut Draw Blood was his least successful album in the United States thus far, with both the album itself at number 193 and the single "Love Hurts" barely scraping into the Billboard charts at number 97), Short Cut Draw Blood entered the charts in several other countries for the first time. This was particularly evident in his native United Kingdom; the single "It's All Up to You" at number 27, released a year before the album, became his first top 40 hit there, only to be overshadowed the following year by his cover of "Love Hurts", which went all the way to number 4.The title of the album was conceived by co-producer Chris Blackwell.

Q7330013 Richard Williams Morgan (bardic name: Môr Meirion) (c.1815-1889) was a Welsh Oriental Orthodox priest and author. Morgan was born in Llangynfely, Cardiganshire, and educated at Saint David's College in Lampeter. He was a leading figure in the Celtic Revival "Gorsedd of Bards".Morgan was ordained priest in October 1842, when he was appointed perpetual curate in Tregynon, Montgomeryshire (now Powys). An outspoken campaigner for the use of the Welsh language in schools and in churches, it was apparently his obduracy over this issue that in 1857 led to Morgan being refused communion in his own parish church in Tregynon. Although Morgan did not formally resign his curacy until 1862, he never again held an ecclesiastical post in Wales. Like many Welsh Anglican clergy of his generation, Morgan was also active in the Celtic revival movement. As "Môr Meirion" he organised, along with his better-known cousin John Williams (Ab Ithel), an eisteddfod at Llangollen in 1858. But his presence among the organisers, at the height of the controversy over his attitude to the English bishops in Wales, had imperilled the plans.In the late 1850s and the 1860s Morgan spent most of his time in London. In 1857 he published The British Kymry, or Britons of Cambria, a comprehensive but unorthodox history of the Welsh people from The Flood to the 19th century; and in 1861 St. Paul in Britain: or, the origin of British as opposed to papal Christianity. Morgan argued that St Paul himself had evangelised Britain and converted the British Druids; he claimed that therefore the ancient Church of Britain was coeval with that established by St Peter in Rome, and represented an apostolic succession independent of the Roman Church (the Catholic Church) that Augustine of Canterbury introduced to England in the sixth century.In 1874, Morgan was consecrated First Patriarch of a reputed restored Ancient British Church by Jules Ferrette, the founder of the British Orthodox Church. Morgan took the religious name of "Mar Pelagius I" and undertook to revive the Celtic Christianity that existed prior to the Synod of Whitby while continuing his duties as an Anglican priest. On 6 March 1879, Morgan received a further consecration as a bishop, this being from Frederick George Lee, Thomas Wimberley Mossman and John Thomas Seccombe of the Order of Corporate Reunion.Also on 6 March 1879, Morgan consecrated Charles Isaac Stevens, a former Reformed Episcopal Church presbyter, as his successor as patriarch. Morgan was assisted in this consecration by Lee and Seccombe for the Order of Corporate Reunion. The Ancient British Church in the UK persisted into the mid-twentieth century, with the Fifth Patriarch, Herbert James Monzani Heard (1866-1947), consecrated in 1922. Succession from Morgan's Ancient British Church is also found in the Free Protestant Episcopal Church (now the Anglican Free Communion).In spite of his commitment to the Ancient British Church, Morgan served as a Church of England curate three more times, before he died in Pevensey, Sussex, in 1889.

Q3563662 Vrijhoef en Kalverbroek is a former heerlijkheid (manor) and municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland. It was located about 3 km east of the city of Gouda, in the current municipality of Reeuwijk. The area of the former municipality is now almost completely covered by the lakes of the Reeuwijksche Plassen.According to the 19th-century historian A.J. van der Aa, the hamlets of Vrijhoef and Kalverbroek (or Kalverenbroek) originally were two separate small manors, but they were merged into one. The manor was property of the nearby city of Gouda between 1438 and 1848.Between 1811 and 1817, the heerlijkheid became part of the municipality of Stein; after that, it was a separate municipality until January 1, 1827, when it again was merged with Stein. In 1822, the municipality had 47 inhabitants; around the middle of the 19th century, this had fallen to 24 inhabitants (7 of which in Kalverbroek), in an area of 0.52 km2.Nowadays, most of the area is covered by two lakes: lake "Vrijhoef" and lake "Kalverbroek". Both lakes are much larger than the heerlijkheid they are named after.
