Q7595515 The first Catholic School in Edmonton, Edmonton Convent School – was established on 29 April 1929, with an enrollment of 30 students. In 1965, Edmonton was established as a separate Parish – St Therese’s Parish, and the school was renamed St Therese's School, Edmonton.

Q1778200 Austorc de Segret or Austau de Segret (fl. 1270) was an Auvergnat troubadour with only one surviving sirventes, "No sai quim so, tan sui desconoissens".Written in a rime mimicking that of the Italian troubadour Sordello's "Aitant ses plus viu hom quan viu jauzens", Austorc's sirventes is almost a planh for Louis IX of France, who died in 1270 on the Eighth Crusade. Besides lamenting Louis, the troubadour laments the defeat suffered by the Crusaders against the "Saracens, Turks, and Arabs". He concludes that either God or Satan is misleading Christians: there is no other possible explanation for the power of the Muslims. But among the humans Austorc is nonetheless willing to excoriate for the failed Crusade is Louis's brother Charles of Anjou, the caps e guitz (head and guide)—in Austorc's words—of the infidels because he convinced Louis to attack Tunis, not the Holy Land, and he immediately negotiated a peace with the Muslims after Louis's death.

Q7495094 Sherlock Station is a pastoral lease and sheep station located approximately 54 kilometres (34 mi) East of Roebourne in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Covering an area of 216,700 acres (87,695 ha) pasture the lease provides good grazing land. In 2015 it was purchased by Bettini Bros, now Bettini Beef, in a package with Mallina and Pyramid Stations. The Bettinis still owed the lease in 2018 Sherlock is operating under the Crown Lease number CL311-1966 and has the Land Act number LA3114/558.The homestead was placed on the register of the National Estate in 1986. The homestead complex is composed of the main homestead, the kitchen block, meat-house, storeroom, quarters, stables, wool-shed and overseer's house all spread apart in a typical Pilbara layout. The main buildings are constructed from rubble masonry and have corrugated iron roofs mostly with Pilbara vaulting.In 1879 John and Emma Withnell bought the station after selling Mount Welcome Station. They retired to Guildford in 1890. Emma Withnell was known as Mother of the North West among the aborigines in the area as she often tended to the sick and delivered babies in her own house.1882 was a dry year on the station when John Withnell contracted a Mr Lock to cut 7,500 fencing posts and erect 27 miles (43 km) of boundary fencing.The station was sold by John Withnell Snr. to Messrs Meares and Withnell in 1890 for the figure of £24,000. The cost included all of the plant and equipment, 16,000 sheep, 50 head of cattle and 60 horses.A large grassfire occurred at the station in 1893 when a station hand accidentally started it when lighting a campfire. The fire cost Withnell and Meares a paddock 20 miles (32 km) long that has been destocked for 6 months in preparation for lambing.The station suffered damage to the homestead, stables and outbuildings along with the loss of 8,000 sheep following a storm and resulting floods in 1894.A devastating cyclone tore through the area in 1898, with an aboriginal woman being swept away along with her mia in the resulting flood waters. The shearing shed was also washed away with both the Sherlock and Balla Balla rivers being in full flood. Meares and Withnell lost a large number of stock but the homestead was undamaged.Another storm followed in 1902, the station received about 8 inches (203 mm) in the deluge. The nearby town of Balla Balla was almost submerged as the sea level rose to be almost level with the town.Following a dry year, in 1908, 4,000 wethers were sold from the station.J. G. Meares sold his share of the station in 1910 to Samuel Peter Mackay and bought the nearby Pyramid Station.In 1912 two kangaroo hunters, Carl Hedman and Frank Deschow, were arrested at the station for sheep stealing.The station had a bumper season in 1913 when good rains fell across the district. Grasses growing over one foot and good lambing numbers were reported at Sherlock and surrounding stations, Pyramid and Malina. A flock of over 10,000 sheep were overlanded to Lower Clifton Downs Station.Ernest A. Hall acquired the station in 1916 from Sam Mackay Hall had previously owned Croydon Station before purchasing Sherlock. In 1923 Hall sold Sherlock to Edward Meares and acquired Wooramel Station.Good rains fell at the station in 1928 with 2 inches (51 mm) falling in one day that year.The station was sold in 1938 for an undisclosed amount by Messers A.E. Hardie and Son, the property carried 15,000 sheep, plant and homestead.Cyclone Shirley struck the Pilbara coast in April 1966 and dumped 404 millimetres (16 in) of rain on the station . In December 1999 Cyclone John also flooded the area when over 300 millimetres (12 in) of rain fell.The Keller family owned the station from the 1970s through to 1990.The station was owned during the 2000s until 2015 by Peter Cook, a pharmacist, who own also four other stations in the Pilbara including Croydon, Mallina and Pyramid Stations.

Q754256 A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common, and only natural, breathing gas. But other mixtures of gases, or pure gases, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats such as scuba equipment, surface supplied diving equipment, recompression chambers, high-altitude mountaineering, high-flying aircraft, submarines, space suits, spacecraft, medical life support and first aid equipment, and anaesthetic machines.Oxygen is the essential component for any breathing gas, at a partial pressure of between roughly 0.16 and 1.60 bar at the ambient pressure. The oxygen is usually the only metabolically active component unless the gas is an anaesthetic mixture. Some of the oxygen in the breathing gas is consumed by the metabolic processes, and the inert components are unchanged, and serve mainly to dilute the oxygen to an appropriate concentration, and are therefore also known as diluent gases. Most breathing gases therefore are a mixture of oxygen and one or more inert gases. Other breathing gases have been developed to improve on the performance of ordinary air by reducing the risk of decompression sickness, reducing the duration of decompression stops, reducing nitrogen narcosis or allowing safer deep diving.A safe breathing gas for hyperbaric use has three essential features:It must contain sufficient oxygen to support life, consciousness and work rate of the breather.It must not contain harmful contaminants. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are common poisons which may contaminate breathing gases. There are many other possibilities.It must not become toxic when being breathed at high pressure such as when underwater. Oxygen and nitrogen are examples of gases that become toxic under pressure.The techniques used to fill diving cylinders with gases other than air are called gas blending.Breathing gases for use at ambient pressures below normal atmospheric pressure are usually air enriched with oxygen to provide sufficient oxygen to maintain life and consciousness, or to allow higher levels of exertion than would be possible using air. It is common to provide the additional oxygen as a pure gas added to the breathing air at inhalation, or though a life-support system.
