Schallaburg Castle

Schallaburg

Schallaburg Castle is a castle in the village of Schallaburg in the municipality of Schollach, near the Wachau valley, Lower Austria, north of the Alps.5 kilometres (3 mi) from Melk, in the region known as Mostviertel. The central part of the castle was built in the German Renaissance Age, beginning around 1540, by the Losenstein dynasty.

History of the castle Schallaburg

In 1242, the castle appears in a document for the first time mentioned as fortress Schala. From the 13th to the 15th century the castle was owned by the lords of Zelking (German: von Zelking). From 1456 until 1614, castle Schallaburg was in the possession of the family von Losenstein. In the 16th century Hans Wilhelm von Losenstein renovated it into a Renaissance style, and rebuilt the church of Loosdorf into a Renaissance Lutheran church. There he also founded a Lutheran grammar school for youths of both nobility and non-nobility ('die Hohe Schule', 1574-1627). In 1601 Hans Wilhelm von Losenstein died, resulting in rested high debts on the castle. In 1614 the father-in-law of George Christoph auf Losensteinleithen, George von Stubenberg, bought the castle. In 1627 the church and school were closed according to a law issued by the archduke of Austria emperor Ferdinand II, who wished to restore the Catholic faith in Lower Austria. From the 17th century until the 20th, the castle changed owners several times. It remained private property until 1945. In 1945 it was confiscated by the Russians, and then in 1955 the castle became property of the new Republic of Austria.

Description

The castle is combination of a Romanesque residential castle and a Gothic chapel, patterned in the Italian Renaissance style. Aesthetically built, it has a well-decorated two-storied arcaded court with elegant cantilevered staircases and a courtyard. The decorations are in terracotta mosaic depicting mythological figures, gods, masks and human beings and animals; a legendary mythical figurine here is known as Hundefräulein (a female human figure with a dog's head).


Schallaburg Castle

At the gate entrance to the castle, there are two large "smoke-spewing dragons", each 30 metres (98 ft) long and 6 metres (20 ft) high, which is a favourite entertainment spot for the children to slide down its mouth from the top. Its culturally rich Mannerist gardens have roses, ornamental trees and bushes and herbs planted in the gardens in the town, and two Renaissance apple orchards.

Southeast side of Schallaburg

Schallaburg is a village in the municipality of Schollach, in Lower Austria. Schallaburg is situated at an altitude of 310 m.Renaissance style castles in Austria. Today the castle functions as a museum.

Museum Schallaburg

In 1967 the government of Lower Austria bought the castle from the Austrian state. The government of Lower Austria decided to renovate the Schallaburg. In 1968 the restoration started with the roof. In 1974 the Schallaburg was opened as a museum for Lower Austria.

The topic of the first exhibition of museum Schallaburg in 1974 was the Renaissance. Every year there is a new exhibition; the exhibition of 2011 was on the history of Venice, the one of 2012 about Byzantium. On March 29, 2014 an exhibition on the First World War called "Glory and Gloom - living with the Great War 1914-1918" was opened. The exhibition showed weapons, movies, historical posters, post cards from particulars and other items from that time. In 2015 the Vikings were the topic of the annual exhibition.

Ningaui

Ningaui is a genus of small species of the marsupial dasyurid family. Along with the planigales, they are among the smallest marsupials.

Taxonomy

The genus was established in 1975 to accommodate two newly described species of dasyurids, the type species Ningaui timealeyi and Ningaui ridei. The author, Mike Archer, compared his specimens to those of Sminthopsis (the dunnarts), distinguishing the new taxon by the structure of the skull, the hindfoot, features of dentition and their smaller size, morphology that was presumed to be specialisations to a more arid environment. The author provided a diagnosis of two species that distinguished the populations by further details of cranial and dental characters. Archer notes the tentative alliance of the species to the genus Planigale by W. D. L. Ride in 1970, and provided a new definition of that genus to separate the new taxa.

The three species of the genus are:

  * Wongai ningaui, Ningaui ridei
  * Pilbara ningaui, Ningaui timealeyi
  * Southern ningaui, Ningaui yvonneae

The name "ningaui" refers to a creature from Aboriginal myth.

Description

A genus of Dasyuridae. The tails of the species are all thin and lack any crest of brush-like fur, and equal to or greater in length than the head-body measurement.

All ningaui are nocturnal hunters of invertebrates. In appearance they resemble mice or similar small rodents, but can be distinguished by their pointed snouts. The genus Ningaui was one of the last of the Australian marsupial genera to be erected; this occurred with the surprise discovery of the Wongai ningaui (N. ridei) and the Pilbara ningaui (N. timealeyi) in 1975.

All species are found in Australia and restricted to arid regions of the south coast, central deserts and northwest of the continent.

Heinrich Max Imhof

Ruth
Miriam

Heinrich Max Imhof (14 May 1795 or 1798, Bürglen - 4 May 1869, Rome) was a Swiss sculptor, in the Classical style. Max may be short for either "Maximilian" or "Maximus".

Biography

He was born to a family of tenant farmers and grew up in simple circumstances, but displayed an early talent for drawing. In 1811, he convinced his parents to let him serve an apprenticeship with the wood sculptor, Franz AbartKerns. He made his first professional wood carvings at the parish church there, in 1814. Four years later the travel writer, Johann Gottfried Ebel, became aware of his carvings and brought him to Zürich, where he worked as a freelance sculptor, making portrait reliefs. His clients included the Prussian Crown Prince, Friedrich Wilhelm.

In 1820 Ebel provided the means for him to continue his studies in Stuttgart with Johann Heinrich von Dannecker, then financed his first study trip to Rome. There, he familiarized himself with Classical styles, in the workshops of the Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorvaldsen. Not long after returning, he began making a model of "David with the Head of Goliath"; commissioned by his old client, Friedrich Wilhelm, for Charlottenhof Palace. He also received orders for several royal busts, as well as one of the Renaissance scholar, Johann Reuchlin, for display in the Walhalla Memorial. In 1836, king Otto of Greece appointed him a Professor at the newly established National Technical University of Athens.


Heinrich Max Imhof

Poor health and a decrease in the number of commissions led him to return to Rome in 1838. He would live there for the rest of his life. Within a short time, he acquired clients from not only the German-speaking nobility, but the English and Russian as well. His financial situation remained secure until the outbreak of the Revolutions of 1848, which disrupted the international art market. In 1849, possibly in an effort to improve his situation, he married Henriette Ott (1825-1892), from Zürich. They had five daughters and two sons. He also took some students, including Adèle d'Affry (known as "Marcello"), and Ferdinand Schlöth, who later became his hated rival. During his last years, he suffered from rheumatism, which affected the quality of his work.

Nina Hole

Nina Hole Firing Sculpture, Guldagergaard 2015.

Nina Hole (20 February 1941 – 21 February 2016) was a Danish artist, sculptor, and performance artist who helped to found the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark

Biography

Hole studied at the Art and Craft School, Copenhagen, and Fredonia State College, New York. She was a founding member of Clay Today, a cooperative which organized an international symposium at the Tommerup Brickyard Studio in Funen, Denmark, in 1990. Hole was a primary force behind the establishment of the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art, Denmark, which opened in Middelfart in 1994, where she also served for a time on the museum board.Skælskør, Denmark.

Known for her fiery enthusiasm for clay, creation, and community, Hole first gained recognition for a series of enormous burning works that she called "Fire Sculptures." Hole wrote of these works, which synthesized aspects of ceramics and performance: "I have developed a concept of constructing large outdoor sculptures that include all the elements: the burning, the structural surface, the form, controlling the fire, and change."

Small House Sculpture by Nina Hole

From the outset of her training, Hole felt that ceramics pedagogy in Denmark was too rigid. She bridled against rules dictating acceptable notions of form and surface. Hole's desire to push her work beyond convention made her open to experiencing new cultures. She came to the United States in the 1970s and found a sense of connection with the open-mindedness of the American ceramics scene of that era, wherein experimentation with material, process, and form was encouraged. The decade she spent in the U.S. led Hole to recognize more vividly the deeply embedded roles of memory, native culture, and terrain in her artistic ambition. Particularly embedded for her was the interrelationship in Denmark of the tower structures of old churches with the natural landscape. Explorations of tensions and harmony between nature and the built environment remained central to the evolution of imagery in many of her Fire Sculptures.


Nina Hole

Hole often worked with the help of community members and workshop volunteers. She integrated kiln and sculpture into a single structure incorporating a firebox beneath the work. Hole's first Fire Sculpture, The House of the Rising Sun, was built on Janet Mansfield's farm in Gulgong, Australia, in 1994. Hole's initial collaboration in Fire Sculpture research occurred with a fellow artist, Jørgen Hansen. Another important collaboration included her work with the American artist and kiln designer Fred Olsen. Hole's technical breakthroughs grew out of experimentation with construction techniques and materials. This included use of insulating fibre blankets that became accessible to artists following research into the design of high-tech furnaces and the needs of the space industry. Like the California artist John Roloff, who began to create site-specific fired-earth works in the mid-1980s, Hole used fiber blankets to integrate the firing process in the creation of new works. Hole used fiber to envelop large ceramic sculptures constructed in the landscape using a system of baffle-like structures throughout her monolithic forms.

Hole died in early 2016, and the International Ceramics Center–Guldagergaard has created the Nina Hole Memorial Residency Award in her honor.

Schalk and Kopf v Austria

Schalk and Kopf v Austria (Application no. 30141/04) is a case decided in 2010 by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in which it was clarified that the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) does not oblige member states to legislate for or legally recognize same-sex marriages.

Facts

The applicants are a same-sex couple living in Vienna, Austria. On 10 September 2002 they requested the Office for matters of Personal Status (Standesamt) to proceed with the formalities to enable them to contract marriage. By decision of 20 December 2002 the Vienna Municipal Office (Magistrat) refused the applicants’ request. Referring to Article 44 of the Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), it held that marriage could only be contracted between two persons of opposite sex. According to constant case-law, a marriage concluded by two persons of the same sex was null and void. Since the applicants were two men, they lacked the capacity for contracting marriage. The applicants then lodged an appeal with the Vienna Regional Governor (Landeshauptmann), which was also dismissed. In his decision of 11 April 2003, the Governor confirmed the Municipal Office’s legal view. In addition he referred to the Administrative Court’s (Verwaltungsgerichtshof) case-law according to which it constituted an impediment to marriage if the two persons concerned were of the same sex.


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

The ultimate and final remedy for the applicants was a complaint to the Constitutional Court (Verfassungsgerichtshof). In this complaint the applicants alleged that the legal impossibility for them to get married constituted a violation of their constitutional right to respect for private and family life and of the principle of non-discrimination. (Austria treats the ECHR as part of its own constitutional law. The legal provisions referred to by the applicants were thus those set out in Articles 12, 8 and 14 of the Convention). They argued that the notion of marriage had evolved since the entry into force of the Civil Code in 1812. In particular, the procreation and education of children no longer formed an integral part of marriage. In present-day perception, marriage was rather a permanent union encompassing all aspects of life. There was no objective justification for excluding same-sex couples from concluding marriage, all the more so since the European Court of Human Rights had acknowledged that differences based on sexual orientation required particularly weighty reasons. Other European countries either allowed same-sex marriages or had otherwise amended their legislation in order to give equal status to same-sex partnerships.

On 12 December 2003 the Constitutional Court dismissed the applicants’ complaint. The relevant parts of its judgment read as follows: “Neither the principle of equality set forth in the Austrian Federal Constitution nor the European Convention on Human Rights (as evidenced by “men and women” in Article 12) require that the concept of marriage as being geared to the fundamental possibility of parenthood should be extended to relationships of a different kind. (...) "The fact that same-sex relationships fall within the concept of private life and as such enjoy the protection of Article 8 of the ECHR – which also prohibits discrimination on non-objective grounds (Article 14 of the ECHR) – does not give rise to an obligation to change the law of marriage. "It is unnecessary in the instant case to examine whether, and in which areas, the law unjustifiably discriminates against same-sex relationships by providing for special rules for married couples. Nor is it the task of this court to advise the legislature on constitutional issues or even matters of legal policy." "Instead, the complaint must be dismissed as ill-founded.”

Judgment

No violation of Article 12 of the Convention


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

Judgment

No violation of Article 12 of the Convention

The applicants claimed that Austria's failure to legally recognise same-sex marriages constituted a violation of Article 12 ECHR, which provides as follows:

“Men and women of marriageable age have the right to marry and to found a family, according to the national laws governing the exercise of this right.”

The Court unanimously dismissed this claim:

"The Court notes that Article 12 grants the right to marry to “men and women”. The French version provides « l’homme et la femme ont le droit de se marier ». Furthermore, Article 12 grants the right to found a family. The applicants argued that the wording did not necessarily imply that a man could only marry a woman and vice versa. The Court observes that, looked at in isolation, the wording of Article 12 might be interpreted so as not to exclude the marriage between two men or two women. However, in contrast, all other substantive Articles of the Convention grant rights and freedoms to “everyone” or state that “no one” is to be subjected to certain types of prohibited treatment. The choice of wording in Article 12 must thus be regarded as deliberate. Moreover, regard must be had to the historical context in which the Convention was adopted. In the 1950s marriage was clearly understood in the traditional sense of being a union between partners of different sex."

No violation of Article 14 in conjunction with Article 8 of the Convention

As a subsidiary argument, the applicants complained under Article 14 taken in conjunction with Article 8 of the Convention that they had been discriminated against on account of their sexual orientation, since they were denied the right to marry.

Addressing this part of the complaint, the ECHR pointed out the following:


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

"Insofar as the applicants appear to contend that, if not included in Article 12, the right to marry might be derived from Article 14 taken in conjunction with Article 8, the Court is unable to share their view. It reiterates that the Convention is to be read as a whole and its Articles should therefore be construed in harmony with one another. Having regard to the conclusion reached above, namely that Article 12 does not impose an obligation on Contracting States to grant same-sex couples access to marriage, Article 14 taken in conjunction with Article 8, a provision of more general purpose and scope, cannot be interpreted as imposing such an obligation either."

The applicants also saw these articles as violated by lack of legal recognition of same-sex couples in Austria before 2010. The Court responded:

The Court cannot but note that there is an emerging European consensus towards legal recognition of same-sex couples. Moreover, this tendency has developed rapidly over the past decade. Nevertheless, there is not yet a majority of States providing for legal recognition of same-sex couples. The area in question must therefore still be regarded as one of evolving rights with no established consensus, where States must also enjoy a margin of appreciation in the timing of the introduction of legislative changes (..) The Austrian Registered Partnership Act, which entered into force on 1 January 2010, reflects the evolution described above and is thus part of the emerging European consensus. Though not in the vanguard, the Austrian legislator cannot be reproached for not having introduced the Registered Partnership Act any earlier

Judges Rozakis, Spielmann and Tulkens dissented in this respect, stating:


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

Having identified a “relevantly similar situation” (para. 99), and emphasised that “differences based on sexual orientation require particularly serious reasons by way of justification” (para. 97), the Court should have found a violation of Article 14 taken in conjunction with Article 8 of the Convention because the respondent Government did not advance any argument to justify the difference of treatment, relying in this connection mainly on their margin of appreciation (para. 80). However, in the absence of any cogent reasons offered by the respondent Government to justify the difference of treatment, there should be no room to apply the margin of appreciation. Consequently, the “existence or non-existence of common ground between the laws of the Contracting States” (para. 98) is irrelevant as such considerations are only a subordinate basis for the application of the concept of the margin of appreciation. Indeed, it is only in the event that the national authorities offer grounds for justification that the Court can be satisfied, taking into account the presence or the absence of a common approach, that they are better placed than it is to deal effectively with the matter

Obiter dictum on same-sex relations to be considered a form of "family life"

The Court, for the first time, has accepted same-sex relationships as a form of "family life". The statement runs as follows:

"...the Court’s case-law has only accepted that the emotional and sexual relationship of a same-sex couple constitutes “private life” but has not found that it constitutes “family life”, even where a long term relationship of cohabiting partners was at stake. In coming to that conclusion, the Court observed that despite the growing tendency in a number of European States towards the legal and judicial recognition of stable de facto partnerships between gay people, given the existence of

little common ground between the Contracting States, this was an area in which they still enjoyed a wide margin of appreciation. (...) The Court notes that (...) a rapid evolution of social attitudes towards same-sex couples has taken place in many member States. Since then a considerable number of member States have afforded legal recognition to same-sex couples (see above, paragraphs 27-30). Certain provisions of EU law also reflect a growing tendency to include same-sex couples in the notion of “family”(...).


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

In view of this evolution the Court considers it artificial to maintain the view that, in contrast to a different-sex couple, a same-sex couple cannot enjoy “family life” for the purposes of Article 8. Consequently the relationship of the applicants, a cohabiting same-sex couple living in a stable de facto partnership, falls within the notion of “family life”, just as the relationship of a different-sex couple in the same situation would."

However, this constitutes a mere obiter dictum that had no impact on the outcome of the case.

Obiter dictum on the scope of Article 12 in light of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Another obiter dictum of the Court concerns Article 8 of the EU Fundamental Rights Charter:

Regard being had to Article 8 of the Charter, therefore, the Court would no longer consider that the right to marry enshrined in Article 12 must in all circumstances be limited to marriage between two persons of the opposite sex. Consequently, it cannot be said that Article 12 is inapplicable to the applicants' complaint

Judge Malinverni in his concurrence has objected to this obiter dictum:

Article 12 is inapplicable to persons of the same sex. Admittedly, in guaranteeing the right to marry, Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union deliberately omitted any reference to men and women, since it provides that “the right to marry and to found a family shall be guaranteed in accordance with the national laws governing the exercise of these rights”. In my opinion, however, no inferences can be drawn from this as regards the interpretation of Article 12 of our Convention. The commentary on the Charter does indeed confirm that the drafters of Article 8 intended it to be broader in scope than the corresponding articles in other international treaties. However, it should not be forgotten that Article 8 of the Charter guarantees the right to marry and to found a family “in accordance with the national laws governing the exercise of these rights”.


Schalk and Kopf v Austria

By referring in this way to the relevant domestic legislation, Article 8 of the Charter simply leaves it to States to decide whether they wish to afford homosexual couples the right to marry. However, as the commentary quite rightly points out, “there is no obstacle to recognize same-sex relationships in the context of marriage. There is, however, no explicit requirement that domestic laws should facilitate such marriages.” In my view, Article 8 of the Charter should therefore have no bearing on the interpretation of Article 12 of the Convention as conferring a right to marry only on persons of different sexes

Separate opinions

Judges Rozakis, Jebens and Spielmann submitted a joint dissenting opinion, arguing that lack of legal recognition of same-sex couples in Austria before 2010 constituted violation of Article 14 in conjunction with Article 8.

Judge Malinverni, joined by judge Kovler, submitted a concurring opinion, arguing that Article 12 could under no circumstances be construed as referring to same-sex couples.

Request for referral to Grand Chamber

A request of the unsuccessful applicants to refer the case to a Grand Chamber was rejected by the Court.

Spruce Lake Protected Area

E. Cleven Photo

The Spruce Lake Protected Area, formerly known variously as the Southern Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park, Southern Chilcotins, and also as South Chilcotin Provincial Park, is a 71,347-hectare Protected Area in the British Columbia provincial parks system, approximately 200 km north of Vancouver. The area had been the subject of an ongoing preservationist controversy since the 1930s. In 2007, its status as a provincial park was downgraded to protected area.

Recreational activities in the park included hiking, cycling, swimming, fishing and hunting, and there were walk-in wilderness camping sites. Wildlife in the protected area include grizzly bear, California bighorn sheep and wolverine.

In June 2010, Bill 15 created the South Chilcotin Mountains Park, a "Class A" park of 56,796 hectares, from Spruce Lake Protected Area. The remaining approximately 14,550 hectares were set aside for tourism and mining, but commercial logging is still prohibited. The bill also confirmed the implementation of the 2004 decision for mining/tourism zones in the Lillooet Land and Resource Management Plan area.

Background

The area was designated as a protected area by the British Columbia provincial government in 2001, and then established as a Provincial Park by then-Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection Joyce Murray in 2004, with the new park's boundaries including 70% of the protected area and permitting limited resource extraction in the remaining area on the protected area's periphery.

The protected area designation resulted from the Lillooet Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), which attempted to address local community, environmental, recreation and resource interests. Even though it is not in the Chilcotin District proper, the area has been called the "South Chilcotins" since about 1980, when a group of conservationists started to promote the area for protection as a park. The South Chilcotin name is derived from its geographic position in the Chilcotin Ranges, into the Bridge River Country where the park is located. Bert Brink, one of British Columbia's most renowned naturalists, advocated for the conservation of this area for over sixty years and lived to see it become a park before he died in 2007.

Location and topography


Spruce Lake Protected Area

Location and topography

The protected area was located on the inland lee of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, on the north flank of the Bridge River Country and the Chilcotin Country to the north. It adjoined Big Creek Provincial Park and Tsʼilʔos Provincial Park, which bordered it on the north and northwest, respectively. Part of the larger subrange of the Pacific Ranges known as the Chilcotin Ranges, the area was partially protected in the 1990s after 60 years of debate and controversy.

First Nations history

Historically this region was the hunting territory of Chief Hunter Jack of the Lakes Lillooet, whose big-game hunting business shared the region with hunters of the Tsilhqot'in people. The shared use of the area north of the Bridge River and Gun Creek was part of the settlement of an early 19th-century peace which had ended a long and bloody war between Hunter Jack's people and the Tsilhqot'in.

Trails from the Bridge River Country led over the region to Taseko Lake and Chilko Lake in the Chilcotin Country, and also east across the Camelsfoot Range to the Fraser River near Big Bar.

Controversy

The area was the object of a protracted quarrel between preservationists and resource development which first began in the 1930s when prospectors and guide-outfitters dedicated to its natural beauty proposed it for preservation status. Charlie Cunningham, whose career as a wildlife filmmaker began in this area, was a driving force in the original movement for preservation. The Charlie Cunningham Wilderness proposal was revised in the 1970s as the Spruce Lake-Eldorado park proposal, and also as the Spruce Lake Management Planning Unit, but as land-use plans impinged on the proposed park area these names were abandoned.

The area's unique and distinct landscape and ecology, different from the rest of the Chilcotin Ranges or the Bridge River Country, made it stand out for protection amid a region already wild and extremely beautiful before logging and hydroelectric development transformed the valley to the south.


Spruce Lake Protected Area

Many environmentalists hope that the creation of Tsʼilʔos and Big Creek Provincial Parks will help shore up the protection of the South Chilcotin Provincial Park which remained vulnerable to government review.Chilcotin Plateau, has joined in the call to combine all three parks, plus the Churn Creek Protected Area to the northeast, as well as some of the surrounding country and the deep, much higher heart of the Pacific Ranges, into a National Park. Industry and government remain publicly committed to shared use and sustainable planning.

Morley Street

Morley Street (1984-–2009) was an Irish racehorse. He was a specialist hurdler but also won steeplechases and races on the flat. In a racing career which lasted from November 1988 until December 1995, he ran forty-five times and won twenty races including the Champion Hurdle in 1991 and the Aintree Hurdle on four successive occasions. He won the title of American Champion Steeplechase Horse on two occasions, as a result of back-to-back wins in the Breeders' Cup Steeplechase.

Background

Morley Street was a chestnut horse with a large white star, bred in Ireland by Marshall Parkhill. He was sired by Deep Run, an outstanding sire of jumpers whose other progeny included Dawn Run and Golden Cygnet. Morley Street's dam, High Board, was not a Thoroughbred, being a descendant of the mare Arab Maid, whose pedigree on her mother's side was uncertain.

In March, he was sent to the Cheltenham Festival to contest the Sun Alliance Novices' Hurdle. He started 5/1 second favourite and finished fourth of the twenty-two runners behind Sayfar's Lad, Trapper John and Knight Oil. At Aintree Racecourse a month later, Morley Street recorded his first major win when he defeated Trapper John by one and a half lengths in the Mumm Prize Novices' Hurdle.

In the first half of the 1989/1990 season, Morley Street ran in three hurdle races, winning once and finishing second in the other two. His victory came in a leg of the Sport of Kings challenge series, in which the beaten horses included the leading American steeplechaser Jamaica Bay. At Cheltenham in March, Morley Street made his first challenge for the Champion Hurdle. He started at odds of 10/1 in a field which included the previous champions Beech Road and See You Then, and finished fifth of the nineteen runners behind Kribensis. Following his run in the Champion Hurdle, Jackson transferred the ownership of Morley Street his Michael Jackson Bloodstock company. In April, he returned to Aintree for the Aintree Hurdle over two and a half miles and started odds-on favourite. He took the lead at the last hurdle and accelerated clear to win by fifteen lengths.

1990–1993: peak years

The 1990/1991 season was intended to be the one in which Morley Street would establish himself as a steeplechaser. He warmed up for the season by having his first race under Flat racing rules, in which he recorded an upset win over St Leger winner Michelozzo in a race at Goodwood Racecourse in early October. In an unusual move, he was then sent across the Atlantic for the Breeders' Cup Steeplechase at Belmont Park where the obstacles were larger than British hurdles, but smaller than British steeplechase fences. Morley Street won his biggest prize to date as he beat the Jonathan E. Sheppard-trained Summer Colony by eleven lengths.Ascot Hurdle by three lengths and a Novices' Chase at Cheltenham, in which he beat the future Champion Chaser Deep Sensation by seven lengths. Morley Street's five-race winning streak came to an end at Ascot in December when he was beaten by Remittance Man in the Noel Novices' Chase after repeatedly jumping to the left on a right-handed course.Feltham Novices' Chase at Kempton, but jumped poorly again and was pulled up after breaking a blood-vessel.

Morley Street was returned to hurdle racing after a break and won the Grade II Berkshire Hurdle at Newbury in March before running in his second Champion Hurdle. He started 4/1 favourite in a field of twenty-four runners. Frost sent Morley Street into the lead between the last two hurdles, and the gelding ran on in the closing stages to win by one and a half lengths from Nomadic Way.

In the late summer of 1991, Morley Street briefly returned to Flat racing. He ran poorly in the Lonsdale Stakes at York but showed top-class staying form when finishing second by a short head to Great Marquess in the Doncaster Cup. In October, he was again sent to the United States for the Breeders' Cup Chase, run at Fair Hill Racecourse. He started odds-on favourite and won by nine and three quarter lengths from Declare Your WishIrish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown Racecourse. He started odds-on favourite but was narrowly beaten by the locally trained Chirkpar. He started 2/1 favourite for the Champion Hurdle, with his younger brother Granville Again being the 9/2 second choice in the betting. Morley Street was in contention two hurdles from the finish, but failed to quicken and ran sixth behind Royal Gait. He ended the season with a third victory in the Aintree Hurdle, beating the Irish mare Minorettes Girl by half a length.

Morley Street won a flat race at Doncaster in October, and then began the new National Hunt season by beating Granville Again in the Elite Hurdle at Cheltenham in November. He failed to run up to his best form when finishing second as odds-on favourite in the Ascot Hurdle and was then beaten in races at Cheltenham and Sandown. In his third Champion Hurdle, he made no impression and finished twelfth behind Granville Again. In the Aintree Hurdle, Granville Again was made 10/11 favourite, and journalists predicted "further humiliation" for the former champion.

1993–1995: later career

After his win at Aintree in April 1993, Morley Street never won again. A return to steeplechasing in late 1993 brought no success, and he was pulled up in the 1994 Champion Hurdle.

Morley Saunders

Morley Saunders (1671-1737) was an Irish politician, barrister and landowner. He followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a member of the Irish House of Commons and Prime Serjeant-at-law. He is mainly remembered today as the builder of Saunders' Grove, the family home in Wicklow. The town of Swanlinbar, County Cavan, where he was a leading landowner, is partially named after his father.

Early life

He was born in County Wexford, third son of Robert Saunders (died 1708), a wealthy lawyer and member of Parliament, who was Prime Serjeant 1703-1708; nothing seems to be known about his mother.Governor of Kinsale during the Interregnum, but retained his substantial landholdings in Wexford after the Restoration of Charles II. Morley, unlike his grandfather, was described as a "passionate Tory". He had two elder brothers, Walter and Joseph, who died without issue. His father acquired substantial leasehold lands in County Laois, but his right to hold them was disputed by the Hoveden family, a dispute which involved his descendants in decades of litigation. According to Jonathan Swift, Robert lost a great deal of money by investing in an ironworks at Swanlinbar, the village of which he was co-founder, but his losses seem to have been only temporary, as the main family estate remained intact and he left a comfortable fortune to his sons.

Career

Morley was called to the Bar, and sat in the Irish House of Commons as member for Enniscorthy from 1703 to 1714. He became Second Serjeant in 1711 and Prime Serjeant the next year. He acted as an extra judge of assize in 1713.

Irish judges and Law Officers did not at that time enjoy security of tenure, and they were invariably appointed on a party political basis. On the death of Queen Anne in August 1714, the new Whig Government in England took a dim view of the overwhelmingly Tory political establishment in Ireland, and Morley, like virtually all of his colleagues, was dismissed in a "clean sweep" of the Irish judges and Law Officers later in the year.


Morley Saunders

His loss of this very lucrative office was offset by his inheritance of the family estates from his brother Joseph, who died in 1713; he had already inherited the family estates at Swanlinbar in 1708 from his father. He spent much of his later years building a new family residence, Saunders' Grove near Baltinglass, County Wicklow. It has been described as a house of great beauty. Saunder's Grove remained in the family for several generations. The former Saunders estate is now a farm.

Morley died in 1737.

Family

By his wife Frances Goodwin, he had a single daughter and heiress Cordelia, who married George Pendred (died 1741), younger son of William Pendred of Broghillstown, County Carlow and Elizabeth Champney. George was High Sheriff of Wicklow in 1735. He belonged to an old Northampton family which settled in Ireland in the time of William III of Orange. They had one daughter and three sons, of whom the eldest, the Reverend Morley Pendred Saunders, inherited the family estates from his grandfather, and at his request adopted the surname Saunders.

Jean Dard

Jean Dard (June 21, 1789 — October 1, 1833) was a French teacher in Saint-Louis, Senegal who, in 1817, opened the first French-language school in Africa. He also compiled the first French-Wolof dictionary and grammar (1846).

Dard developed a new approach for teaching French as a foreign language, the "mutual method" or méthode de traduction (translation method), based on a learning approach pioneered by Aloïsius Édouard Camille Gaultier, by which children were taught to read and write in their native Wolof and then learned French by translating. According to Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow, Dard's method was "very modern and very effective, and Dard was said to have achieved remarkable results with it."

In Senegal, Dard took a signare by whom he had a son. He then returned to France for reasons of health and married Charlotte-Adélaïde Picard—an eyewitness of the wreck of the Méduse—by whom he had three additional children. Dard served as a teacher and town secretary in Bligny-lès-Beaune. The Dards returned to Senegal in 1832, but he died there a year later.

Harry Tunstill

Harry Tunstill

Harry Tunstill (19 November 1852 - 11 May 1928) was a wealthy mill-owner from Lancashire, England.

Early life and family

Harry Tunstill was born on 19 November 1852 to William and Mary Tunstill. He was Christened at Barrowford, Lancashire, which was also his place of residence.

Tunstill married Margaret Ecroyd in 1879, the daughter of a cotton manufacturer in East Lancashire. They lived at Oak Lodge, in the Little Marsden area of Nelson, where their first three children were all born. These were Mary Cicely (February 1880), Harry Gilbert (August 1881) and Margaret Farrer (known as "Meta") (1884). They subsequently moved to Montford Hall, near Fence, where the couple had five more daughters, Edith Dorothea ("Dolly"), Rosamond, Alice Ecroyd, Gertrude Adelaide (Gertie) and Constance Sybil (Sybil). Gertrude married the physician William Pickles in 1917.

Career

Harry Tunstill joined the family firm of Tunstill Brothers which owned a number of cotton mills and employed around 1,500 people, working with his father William Tunstill (died 1903) and his brother Robert (1860-1902). After their deaths, Harry became the sole owner of the business which was incorporated in 1904 as Brierfield Mills Limited. His co-directors were W.H. Hartley and J.W. Fyson. At that time the company owned two spinning mills and three weaving sheds.

Death

Tunstill died 11 May 1928. His address at the time of his death was Thornton Lodge, Thornton Rust near Aysgarth, North Yorkshire. He left an estate of £160,268 (the equivalent of £10.3 million as of 2023

Orange oriole

The orange oriole (Icterus auratus) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae. It is found in the Yucatán Peninsula and far northern Belize. The male has a bright orange hood and a black bib. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and heavily degraded former forest.


Morley Memorial Chapel

Morley Memorial Church is a former Methodist church built in 1889 at the junction of Pym Street and Blue Bell Hill in Nottingham.

History

The foundation stones were laid on Tuesday 6 November 1888 by the Mayor of Nottingham, Alderman Turney and Alderman Manning.

The chapel was designed by Richard Charles Sutton and built for Primitive Methodists, costing £2,000. It was opened on 20 October 1889 with seating for 700.

The chapel was built in memory of Samuel Morley (MP) who had run the firm of I and R Morley in Epperstone, Oxton and Woodborough.

In 1891 the congregation started construction of schools. These were built to designs also by Richard Charles Sutton.

The church closed in 1942 and the building was sold to Boots in Nottingham and used as a warehouse until it was demolished in 1972.


Mwenga Power Station

Mwenga Dam is a hydroelectric dam in Tanzania, located in the Iringa Region.4 megawatts (5,400 hp). The Power plant is operated by an Independent Power Producer, Rift Valley Energy.

History

The power plant is part of the Mwenga Hydro and Rural Electrification Project Mini Grid. The plant was built to supply electricity to the Mufundi Tea Plantations and was built approximately 50km from the factory. Along the transmission line route there were 17 un-electrified villages. Rift valley energy decided to connect this villages and provide electricity to these villages.

The company received support from the ACP-EU Energy Facility and the Tanzania Rural Energy Agency, and in 2012 launched their 4MW Hydro plant and mini-grid. As of 2020, the company supplies energy to the Tea Factory as well as to 32 villages in the Mufindi district servicing 4800 customers.

Rift Valley Energy operates its power distribution services through Mwenga Power Services Ltd.

Challenges

The plants sells its excess electricity capacity to the national grid to Tanesco, however, has faced poor payment from the state company. As of September 2016, TANESCO owed the plant operator $1.3 million for electricity supplied.

Ozonide

Ozonide is the polyatomic anion O−3. Cyclic organic compounds formed by the addition of ozone (O3) to an alkene are also called ozonides.

Ionic ozonides

Inorganic ozonidesbent shape of the ozone molecule.

Inorganic ozonides are formed by burning potassium, rubidium, or caesium in ozone, or by treating the alkali metal hydroxide with ozone; this yields potassium ozonide, rubidium ozonide, and caesium ozonide respectively. They are very sensitive explosives that have to be handled at low temperatures in an atmosphere consisting of an inert gas. Lithium and sodium ozonide are extremely labile and must be prepared by low-temperature ion exchange starting from CsO3. Sodium ozonide, NaO3, which is prone to decomposition into NaOH and NaO2, was previously thought to be impossible to obtain in pure form.cryptands and methylamine, pure sodium ozonide may be obtained as red crystals isostructural to NaNO2.

Ionic ozonides are being investigatedoxygen in chemical oxygen generators. Tetramethylammonium ozonide, which can be made by a metathesis reaction with caesium ozonide in liquid ammonia, is stable up to 348 K (75 °C):

[{\displaystyle {\ce {CsO3 + [(CH3)4N][O2] -> CsO2 + [(CH3)4N][O3]}}}]

Alkaline earth metal ozonide compounds have also become known. For instance, magnesium ozonide complexes have been isolated in a low-temperature argon matrix.

Covalent singly bonded structures

Phosphite ozonides, (RO)3PO3, are used in the production of singlet oxygen. They are made by ozonizing a phosphite ester in dichloromethane at low temperatures, and decompose to yield singlet oxygen and a phosphate ester:


Ozonide

1. [{\displaystyle {\ce {(RO)3P + O3 -> (RO)3PO3}}}]
 2. [{\displaystyle {\ce {(RO)3PO3 -> (RO)3PO + ^{1}O2}}}]

Molozonides

Formation of an organic ozonide. The second arrow represents several steps as shown in ozonolysis.

Molozonides are formed by the addition reaction between ozone and alkenes. They are rarely isolated during the course of the ozonolysis reaction sequence. Molozonides are unstable and rapidly convert to the trioxolane ring structure with a five-membered C–O–O–C–O ring.carbonyl compounds: aldehydes, ketones, peroxides.
