Umpired by former Cambridge rower James Crowden, Oxford won in a time of 18 minutes and 58 seconds. The race was complicated by bad weather, and when faced with choppy water, a strong headwind and horizontal, driving rain, the Cambridge boat, which lacked splashboards, took on water and sank. It was the fifth time a boat had sunk during the event.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie beat Oxford's Isis by 1+1⁄4 lengths. Cambridge won the 33rd Women's Boat Race.

Background

During training for the race, Oxford had sunk, taking on water in the inclement weather, and had decided to fit splashboards to their boat, while Cambridge opted to leave their boat unchanged.1859, Oxford sank in 1925 and 1951, and both crews sank in 1912.

The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Up until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races.

Crews

Oxford's crew contained three Old Blues in Moran, Shealy and the former lightweight world champion Andy Michelmore, while Cambridge's boat featured five returning rowers in Bathurst, Clegg, Horton, Ross and Cooke-Yarborough.

Thirty seconds later, Cambridge were clear and were further ahead by Craven Steps. By the end of the Fulham Wall, Duckworth steered directly towards the Surrey shore in an attempt to find shelter from the conditions.Harrods Furniture Depository once again made no impact on the deficit and Cambridge passed below Hammersmith Bridge with a lead of three lengths.

Intelligent steering from C. G. F. Bryan, the Oxford cox, saw the Dark Blues "hugging the Surrey bank" to reduce the Cambridge lead to about a length by Chiswick Eyot. It was short-lived however, as Bryan steered back over towards the Middlesex side of the river, losing his crew a length in doing so and moving into rougher water, and by Chiswick Steps, the Light Blues were four and a half lengths ahead. Cambridge's stroke Ran Laurie called for a spurt and by the time they passed under Barnes Bridge they were five lengths ahead. They crossed to the Middlesex side of the river before passing the finishing post with a lead of four and a half lengths in a time of 19 minutes 48 seconds.The Manchester Guardian, stated that Cambridge "won in the easiest manner possible, having led from start to finish" and described the race as a "fiasco".The Times suggested that "never was it so obvious after the first few strokes that there was only one crew in the race ... Oxford's form was too bad to be true."

Tops in Science Fiction

The second issue; cover artwork by Kelly Freas.

Tops in Science Fiction was an American pulp science fiction magazine launched in 1953. The publisher, Love Romances Publishing, created it as a vehicle to reprint stories from Planet Stories. It was unsuccessful and only lasted for two issues. Although it contained no original stories, it did print some original artwork, including some of Kelly Freas's early work. A British reprint edition appeared in the mid-1950s.

Publication history

The early 1950s saw dramatic changes in the history of U.S. science fiction publishing. At the start of 1949, all but one of the major magazines in the field were in pulp format; by the end of 1955, almost all had either ceased publication or switched to digest format.Tops in Science Fiction was one of the last of these.Planet Stories, and Malcolm Reiss, Planet's editorial director, decided to try to take advantage of the backfile of stories and artwork from Planet's 14 years of publication.Fantastic Story Magazine, which was published by Standard Magazines as a vehicle to reprint their extensive backfile of science fiction. If so, he was evidently not aware that by 1953 Fantastic Story was not doing well financially.

The first issue was dated Spring 1953, and was edited by Jack O'Sullivan. The cover, by Alexander Leydenfrost, was reprinted from a 1942 issue of Planet Stories. The fiction included "Black Friar of the Flame" by Isaac Asimov, and "The Million Year Picnic", by Ray Bradbury—the first of his "Martian Chronicles" stories. Interior art included some of Kelly Freas' earliest work.Leigh Brackett. Freas also did the interior illustrations for the story, and later commented that he was delighted by the results but felt he was "never quite able to repeat it. A hex, of course."Emsh; the fiction included stories by Fredric Brown and Horace Gold.

Transportation of the Topra pillar to Delhi. Sirat i-Firuz Shahi, 14th century illustration.

The original inscription on the Delhi-Topra Ashokan obelisk is primarily in Brahmi script, but the language was Prakrit, with some Pali and Sanskrit added later. The inscription was successfully translated in 1837 by James Prinsep.lats (pillars, obelisk) have earned Feroz Shah Tughlaq and Delhi Sultanate fame for its architectural patronage.

The Sultanate had wanted to break and reuse the Ashokan pillar for a minaret. Feroz Shah Tuhglaq, however decided to erect it near the mosque instead. At the time of re-installation of the obelisk in Delhi, in 1356, no one knew the meaning of the script engraved in the stone.

About five hundred years later, the script (Brahmi) was deciphered by James Prinsep in 1837 with help from scripts discovered on other pillars and tablets in South Asia.

It was restored by the Raja Hindu Rao after the Revolt of 1857.

Translation

The inscription on the 3rd century pillar describe King Devanampiya Piyadasi'sdharma (just, virtuous life), moral precepts and freedoms. Some extracts of the translation, per James Prinsep, are as follows:

Among high roads, I have caused fig trees to be planted that they may be for shade to animals and men...

— -Inscription on Ashoka Pillar

...And let these and others the most skillful in the sacred offices discreetly and respectfully use their most persuasive efforts, acting on the heart and eyes of the children, for the purposes of imparting enthusiasm and instruction in dharma (religion).

— -Inscription on Ashoka Pillar

And whatsoever benevolent acts have been done by me, the same shall be prescribed as duties to the people who follow after me, and in this manner shall their influence and increase be manifest - by service to father and mother, by service to spiritual pastors, by respectful demeanor to the aged and full of years, by kindness to learned, to the orphan and destitute and servants and minstrel tribe.

And religion increaseth among men by two separate processes - by performance of religious offices, and by security against persecution. (...) And that religion may be free from the persecution of men, that it may increase through the absolute prohibition to put to death (any) living beings or sacrifice aught that draweth breath. For such an object is all this done, that it may endure to my sons and sons' sons - as long the sun and the moon shall last.

— -Inscription on Ashoka Pillar

Let stone pillars be prepared and let this edict of dharma (religion) be engraven thereon, that it may endure unto the remotest ages.

Turek County (historical)

Turek County (Polish: powiat turecki, Russian: Турекский уезд) was a second-level subdivision (Polish: powiat, Russian: uyezd) in Congress Poland, Russian Empire with the administrative center in Turek. It was established in 1867 from an eastern part of the Kalisz County of Kalisz Governorate. gminas of Biernacice, Goszczanów, Grzybki. Kościelnica, Kowale Pańskie, Lubola, Malanów, Niemysłów, Niewiesz, Ostrów Warcki, Piekary, Pęcherzew, Piętno, Skarżyn, Skotniki, Tokary, Wichertów, Wola Świnecka, Zelgoszcz. In 1886 Warta and the village of Bartochów were transferred to Sieradz County.

In 1890, the population of the county was 98,638 persons, with 87% being ethnic Poles.

In 1916 (end of World War I) the German occupation administration joined Turek and Kalisz counties into one with the administration in Kalisz.

In 1918 it was transformed into the Turek County of Łódź Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic. In 1938 it was transferred to the Poznań Voivodeship.


Turek, Masovian Voivodeship

Turek [ˈturɛk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jakubów, within Mińsk County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Jakubów, 17 km (11 mi) north-east of Mińsk Mazowiecki, and 53 km (33 mi) east of Warsaw.


Type 98 50 mm mortar

The Type 98 50 mm mortar was a Japanese smooth-bore, muzzle-loading weapon of the mid 20th century. The Type 98 designation was given to this weapon because it was accepted in the year 2598 of the Japanese calendar (1938)

Design

The Type 98 50 mm mortar could be identified by the rectangular, sectionalized base plate, the fixed position of the bipod, the V slots painted white and located at 12 o'clock on both the barrel collar, and the projection of the muzzle hoop and the marking on the outside of the container in which the weapon is packed. (This marking, which read "Kyuhachi Shiki Totekiki" from right to left, meant "98 Type discharger.")

The propelling charge consisted of black-powder increments packed in small silk bags. Each increment was approximately 3.75 inches long and 1.25 inches in diameter. A pull-type friction primer, 0.88 inch in length, equipped with a loop lanyard, was designed to fit into the primer seat, or touch hole.

The mortar consisted of three main parts: the base plate, the bipod, and the barrel. It had a fixed elevation of about 40 degrees. Limited provision was made for traverse. At the base of the tube was an offset primer seat. Two links, one on each side, extended from the barrel collar. A range slide, graduated from 0 to 60, could be clamped to the muzzle of the mortar.

Firing procedure

To use the weapon, the loader would first insert one or more powder increments in the muzzle, then place the stick of the stick bomb in the tube. To aim, the graduated range slide would be adjusted to the desired distance, which regulated the length of the stick extending into the barrel of the mortar – the more the stick extended into the barrel, the greater the range. (This is similar to aiming the older Type 89 50mm grenade discharger.) To traverse, the mortarman would loosen the two wing nuts that secured the bipod and swing the bipod feet around the area in front of the base plate.


Type 98 50 mm mortar

To arm the explosive charge, two friction-type pull igniters were inserted in the holes provided in the base, and each igniter was connected by cord to one of the two links extending one each side from the barrel collar of the mortar. A pull-type friction primer was inserted in the primer seat, which was on the side of the barrel near the base. To fire, the mortarman would pull a loop lanyard attached to the friction primer.

Maintenance

A cleaning brush which was attached to the underside of the carrying box cover. The mortar was easy to disassemble, by unscrew the thumb screws and removing the bipod feet from the traversing plate, then removing the barrel assembly ball out of the socket in the base plate. Finally, the collar which attaches the bipod to the barrel was removed.

Ammunition

The Type 98 was able to fire at least three different types of projectiles: a finned Bangalore Torpedo and two kinds of stick bombs. The stick bombs were composed of a 48 mm (1.9 in) diameter hardwood stick that fitted into the barrel of the launcher and was reinforced with a metal cap at the bottom to withstand the stress of firing. The other end of the stick fitted into a flange on the bottom of a rectangular head made from sheet steel which was fastened with nails or screws. The head was filled with either a rectangular block of picric acid or with black powder. Two friction igniters would be fitted into holes in the base of the stick bomb and the cords for these fastened to either side of the launcher. When the mortar was fired, the friction igniters were lit and a black-powder delay train started giving a 7 second delay.

Alfred H. Conrad

Alfred Haskell Conrad (January 2, 1924 – October 18, 1970)economics at Harvard University and City College of New York. He belonged to the quantitative economic current called new economic history, or cliometrics.

Conrad attended Brooklyn Boys High and in 1947 graduated from Harvard College. There he completed a doctorate in economics in 1954 and later taught in the economics department and in the business school.

In 1958 he co-authored "The Economics of Slavery in the Antebellum South", in the Journal of Political Economy, with John R. Meyer. Using rigorous statistics, the authors concluded that the view that slavery would have disappeared without the American Civil War was "a romantic hypothesis which will not stand against the facts". This study anticipated Time on the Cross by Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman, which reached the same conclusion.

Conrad was married to the poet Adrienne Rich, with whom he had three sons. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Peacham, Vermont at the age of 46.

Windsor & Eton F.C. (1892)

Windsor & Eton F.C. was an English association football club based in Windsor, Berkshire, last playing in the Southern League Premier Division in 2010–11, until it was wound up on 2 February 2011 due to large debts.Windsor F.C., was formed to compete from the 2011–12 season onwards.

History

Windsor & Eton F.C. was formed on 18 August 1892 by a merger of Windsor Phoenix and Windsor St. Albans. They began in the Southern Alliance (which included teams like Tottenham), and in 1893 they merged with Windsor Victoria and entered the first FA Amateur Cup. A decline in fortunes saw them withdraw from the Berks & Bucks Senior League in 1901 before a ball had been kicked. In 1902 Windsor & Eton Temperance F.C. was the subject of a take over, with the name being shortened to the title now used.

Prince Christian was connected with the club in this era, and patrons of the club included Kings George V, George VI, and the Duke of Edinburgh, hence the club's nickname of "The Royalists".

Over the years the club has competed in the Southern League (1895–96), West Berks League (1903–04), Great Western Suburban League (1904–22), Athenian League (1922–29), Spartan League (1929–39), Great Western Combination (1939–45), Corinthian League (1945–50), Metropolitan League (1950–60), Delphian League (1960–63), then the Athenian League again (1963–81), until joining the Isthmian League in 1981. During this time Windsor won their County Cup five times in a row (1941–45), which, until recent times was an English record. In 1922 they recorded their best ever Amateur Cup run, reaching the 4th round Proper, and in 1925 reached the 2nd round Proper of the FA Cup, losing 2–5 to Charlton Athletic at the Valley.


Windsor & Eton F.C. (1892)

Without doubt the best period in Windsor's history was the 1980s. Under manager Brian Caterer, they started the decade by winning the Athenian League and reaching the last four in the FA Vase (just one year after losing in the quarter-final). The league title was retained in 1981, when they were also League Cup finalists and reached the 1st round Proper in the FA Cup. Then came promotion to the Isthmian League Division Two, where they finished 5th in their first season. Promotion came the following season after finishing 2nd. The following season the Division One Championship was won, along with another appearance in the FA Cup 1st round Proper.

Their first campaign in the Premier Division saw them finish 5th as well as a draw at home against AFC Bournemouth in the second round of the FA Cup. Windsor eventually lost the replay with both sides already knowing that the winners would have a home tie against Manchester United in the next round. Since then they have had four further appearances in the 1st round Proper of the FA Cup, and three appearances in the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup final, winning in 1988 and 1989.

The 1990s started with Windsor celebrating their centenary in 1991/92. They suffered a poor following season and their 9-year spell in the Premier Division came to an end when they finished second from bottom and were relegated to Division One. 1993/94 saw them finish 21st again, to be relegated to Division Two and although they improved their position by one place the following season, it still wasn't enough to avoid the dubious honour for the third season running in 1994/95.

Season 1995/96 saw a revival in the club's fortune when they finished third in Division Three and were the Isthmian League's leading scorers with 117 goals. Season 2000–01 saw a complete overhaul of the club and the changes were vindicated when the club achieved promotion to Division One by finishing runners-up.

In November 2001, following a poor start to their Division One campaign, which wasn't helped by a horrendous early-season injury list, the Royalists finished in bottom place, although a league restructure meant relegation was never a worry.


Windsor & Eton F.C. (1892)

Season 2002–03 saw some more experienced faces added to the squad during the course of the season and the club enjoyed its best FA Trophy run for years beating Welling United, Hitchin Town and Vauxhall Motors before bowing out on penalties to Aylesbury United. Two years later a re-organisation of the English football league system saw them moved into the Premier Division, where they remained until another re-organisation saw them moved into the Southern League in 2006.

In July 2006, Simon Lane was installed as the new manager. After rebuilding the squad from scratch, Lane guided the club into 14th place by the end of the 2006–07 season

In 2009 Windsor & Eton FC won the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup, beating Marlow FC 1–0 in the final.

At the end of the 2009–10 season the Royalists finished top of the Southern League Division One South and West, one point ahead of AFC Totton, thus securing automatic promotion as champions. Mounting debts meant numerous hearings in court for the club through 2010, and on 30 January 2011 the club made an official statement effectively saying that the club would cease to exist after the high court hearing on 2 February, but that they hoped to start a new club, playing at the same ground.

New club formed

Windsor F.C. was formed on 2 February 2011 by fans of the original Windsor & Eton club and accepted into the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division.

Ground

Early grounds at which the club played were Windsor Recreation Ground and Balloon Meadow (now part of Windsor Racecourse) before the move to the present ground at Stag Meadow in 1911.

In 2003 the Isthmian League awarded the ground an 'A' grade following some frenetic building activity which saw terracing completed all the way around the ground, plus a new turnstile block and an extension to the covered terracing on the far side of the ground.

Following the successful 09–10 season a team of supporters and club members turned out prepare the ground for football in the Southern Premier Division. The summer was spent roofing, weeding, painting, carpeting and completing odd jobs all around the ground to give it the face lift it required. As well work taking place to prepare the playing surface of the pitch.

Notable players

Notable players

Two players who turned out for Windsor during the inter-war years were Vic Woodley, who later distinguished himself in goal for Chelsea, Derby County and England, and Billy Coward, who joined QPR before moving to Walsall and playing in the famous 'giant-killing' side which beat the mighty Arsenal in the FA Cup in 1933.

More recently, Morgaro Gomis, Solomon Taiwo and Gavin Tomlin played for the club.

Keith Scott (footballer) played for the club and also managed the club taking them on to win the Berks and Bucks County FA cup in 08-09 and then on to win the league in 09–10.

1211th Test Squadron

The 1211th Test Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 9th Weather Reconnaissance Group, stationed at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico. It was inactivated on 8 June 1963.

History

The squadron conducted nuclear cloud sampling during atmospheric testing.

The idea of atomic cloud sampling developed from atmospheric testing during Operation Sandstone in the spring of 1948. During the operation, an aircraft accidentally flew through an atomic cloud. An analysis of the radiation dosages received by the crewmembers was found to be minor and led to the realization that sampling could be accomplished effectively with manned aircraft.

Analyses of samples collected from atomic clouds were considered the most accurate method of determining the efficiency and yield of a nuclear device. Air Force Special Weapons Center (AFSWC) scientists accompanied the squadron on sampling missions in order to assess effects on humans. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) recommended that the USAF establish an organization specifically for gathering cloud samples.

In 1953, HQ, USAF approved a test squadron for sampling atomic clouds; the squadron was titled the 4926th Test Squadron (Sampling) and assigned to the 4925th Test Group (Atomic). The new squadron was created within AFSWC's 4925th Test Group (Atomic), as the group, up to that time, had assisted the AEC and AFSWP in nuclear weapons effects tests and had actually developed operational techniques for airborne sampling of the effects. These included in-flight laboratories to gather airborne data on test results, piloted and drone aircraft to sample radioactive clouds, safety aircraft to measure radioactivity in areas surrounding tests, and nuclear-cloud-tracking aircraft to establish fallout patterns.

Initially using the F-84G Thunderjet, The B-57B Canberra was first used during Operation Teapot in 1955. By 1956, the B-57B was a staple of the AFSWC sampling program. In addition to the dedicated men of the 4926th TS, many aircraft and crews were pulled from operational squadrons around the Air Force to help formulate procedures to operate successfully in a nuclear environment, if necessary. Flying the B-57, the 4926th Test Squadron (Sampling) participated in many operations, the majority at the Nevada Test Site and the remainder at Eniwetok Atoll.


1211th Test Squadron

In April 1961, shortly after Air Research and Development Command was redesignated Air Force Systems Command, the squadron was transferred to Air Weather Service and renumbered 1211.

With the end of atmospheric nuclear testing in 1963, the squadron was discontinued. Its personnel and aircraft were reassigned to the 58th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron.
