Influence and reception

The studies in the psychology of sex vol.1 is an example of a more diverse view of sexuality from the Victorian era. The article by Historyextra concludes that

[...] we might suggest that the Victorians were more tolerant than their 1960s counterparts of sex between males. But given the strict policing of knowledge and even the language used to discuss such intimate behaviours, we must ask – what did that tolerance really mean?

John Middleton (footballer, born 1956)

John Middleton (24 December 1956football goalkeeper. He won honours playing 137 first team games with Nottingham Forest. After 80 competitive first team games for Derby County he retired due to injury aged 23 in 1980.

Nottingham Forest

Middleton started as an apprentice at Nottingham Forest in the 1974-75 season. Allan Brown gave him his debut aged 17 on 19 October 1974 in a Second Division 1–0 win at West Bromwich Albion. He remained first choice for the next three years playing 137 competitive and non-competitive first team games between 1974 and 1977.

Brian Clough replaced Brown as manager in January 1975 and was joined in July 1976 by his former assistant manager at Derby County, Peter Taylor. Forest immediately went into upswing from the duo being in partnership. Their first trophy was the 1976-77 Anglo-Scottish Cup beating Orient 5–1 in a two leg final in December 1976. Forest were promoted back to the top flight at the end of that season.

Forest started their return to the top league campaign with a 3–1 win at Everton. Three further wins in league and cup followed without conceding a goal. Then came five early September goals conceded losing 3–0 at Arsenal and beating Wolves 3–2 at home.Peter Shilton then signed for a record fee for a goalkeeper of £325,000. Taylor reasoned: "Shilton wins you matches."

Derby County

20 year old Middleton transferred later in the month with £25,000 in exchange for Archie Gemmill moving to Forest from another top flight club, Derby County.

International

Middleton played twice against Norway and once against Finland for England in UEFA Under 21 Championship qualifying group matches. He conceded only one goal in total winning all three games. All three games were in 1977 during his last four months at Forest. His last cap was four days before the 3–0 defeat by Arsenal playing for Forest.

Death

Middleton died on 3 July 2016 aged 59.

Richard Austin (punchcutter)

For other people named Richard Austin, see Richard Austin (disambiguation).

Richard Austin (1756–1832) was an English punchcutter. He was the original cutter of the typefaces now known as Bell, Scotch Roman, and Porson.John Bell's British Letter Foundry in 1788 as a punch-cutter, to imitate Didot's 1782 types "de la troisième manière," cut by Pierre Vafflard to F-A Didot's designs. Bell sold his interest in the foundry to S & C Stephenson.Figgins, and Caslon. Strikes were even sold in North America. Austin cut Greek types for Cambridge University Press in 1806–8, following designs provided by the famous master Richard Porson. He probably also cut the Sarcophagus Greek that preceded it. Austin then provided strikes to William Miller's foundry in Edinburgh & Alexander Wilson's Sons' foundry in Glasgow, creating the types now known as Scotch, before founding his own Imperial Letter Foundry in London in 1815, with his son George (who had been his apprentice until 1805). The first Miller Specimen of 1809 is now lost (The University of Vermont holds the 1811 Specimen). Wilson's earliest specimen showing the improved types is dated 1812. Richard Austin died circa 20 August 1832, leaving the foundry to his son George, whom many credited with the innovations in type designs manifest in the Scotch types. Austin's other sons were John Phillips Austin, a music engraver, and Richard Turner Austin (1781-1842), a painter (member of the Royal Academy) and commercial wood engraver.

Mayovka (Russian: Маёвка), prior to 1945 known by its German name Georgenburg (Lithuanian: Jurbarkas) was a rural locality in Chernyakhovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. Located about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) northwest of the town of Chernyakhovsk, it was merged into Chernyakhovsk and ceased to exist as a separate locality in June 1996.

It was founded around the Ordensburg fortress Georgenburg ("George's castle") by the Teutonic Order. This fortress is still the best preserved medieval castle in the oblast. The German-inhabited town became famous from a local stable for the Trakehner horse breed.

The town became a part of the Soviet Union in 1945 following World War II and was repopulated with Russians. It was given its present name, which means a celebration of the International Workers' Day (May 1) in Russian.


Japanese submarine Ha-210

Ha-210 was an Imperial Japanese Navy Ha-201-class submarine. Completed and commissioned in August 1945 fours days before hostilities ended in World War II, she surrendered in September 1945 and was scuttled in April 1946.

Design and description

At the end of 1944, the Imperial Japanese Navy decided it needed large numbers of high-speed coastal submarines to defend the Japanese Home IslandsAllied invasion (named Operation Downfall by the Allies). To meet this requirement, the Ha-201-class submarines were designed as small, fast submarinesType XXI and Type XXIII submarines. They were capable of submerged speeds of almost 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).

The Ha-201 class displaced 325 metric tons (320 long tons) surfaced and 447 metric tons (440 long tons) submerged.53 meters (173 ft 11 in) long, had a beam of 4.00 meters (13 ft 1 in) and a draft of 3.44 meters (11 ft 3 in).400-brake-horsepower (298 kW) diesel engine that drove one propeller shaft.1,250-shaft-horsepower (932 kW) electric motor.11.8 knots (21.9 km/h; 13.6 mph) on the surface and 13.9 knots (25.7 km/h; 16.0 mph) submerged.Ha-201-class submarines had a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph); submerged, they had a range of 105 nmi (194 km; 121 mi) at 2 knots (3.7 km/h; 2.3 mph).533-millimeter (21 in) torpedo tubes with four torpedoes and a single mount for a 7.7-millimeter machine gun.

Rifleman

For other uses, see Rifleman (disambiguation).

Green jacketed British Army rifleman aiming a Baker rifle, c. 1803

A rifleman is an infantry soldier armed with a rifled long gun. Although the rifleman role had its origin with 16th century hand cannoneers and 17th century musketeers, the term originated in the 18th century with the introduction of the rifled musket. By the mid-19th century, entire regiments of riflemen were formed and became the mainstay of all standard infantry, and rifleman became a generic term for any common infantryman.

History

Units of musketeers were originally developed to support units of pikemen. As firearms became more effective and widely used, the composition of these pike-and-musket units changed, with pikemen eventually becoming support units to the musketeers, particularly against cavalry. The last pike regiments were dissolved by the 1720s, as pikes were superseded by the invention of the bayonet. This converted the musket into a pike for those situations where it might still be useful, such as following up volleys with a charge, crowd control, or defensive formations.

Smooth-bore weapons, such as the musket, had always been recognized as relatively inaccurate, especially at longer ranges, and required massed volleys to be combat-effective. Although the smoothbore barrels impeded the accuracy of a musket, it was an advantage when loading because the looser fitting musket ball slid down the barrel quickly and easily with the ramrod being used mainly to compress the powder charge at the base of the barrel. Rifles required a tighter fit and thus more work to get the ball to be rammed all the way down the barrel. This meant that the soldiers chosen for this role needed to be good shots, resilient, brave, and resourceful. Riflemen were trained to act in isolation and were dispersed in teams of two, defending each other while they re-loaded. They were still vulnerable, especially to cavalry, as they could not present the solid wall of bayonets a larger mass of soldiers could. These factors: the time and expense required in training, the limited number of suitable recruits, and the specialized roles and situations where they were most effective meant they were highly prized, given special privileges, and used sparingly rather than squandered.


Rifleman

Such rifle units reached their heyday in the period shortly before and during the Napoleonic Wars, with the British riflemen partially derived from units of colonial militia (see Rogers' Rangers or the Royal Americans) — truly excelling in the American War of Independence. Regular units of rifles formed in the British Army in 1800 were the 60th Regiment of Foot and the 95th Regiment of Foot. These units were often given the name "light infantry", emphasizing their specialized roles.

Starting in the 1840s, with the advent of the Minié ball and the first military breech-loading rifles, the rifles entered the age of industrialized warfare. It was mass-produced and accessible to all infantrymen. The high level of training and specialized roles gave way to generality: the rifles were much faster and simpler to load, able to be reloaded while prone, and impossible to be double-loaded after a misfire. The term 'rifleman', once used solely as a mark of distinction and pride, became a commonplace description of all infantry, no matter what their actual status was. Nevertheless, the term retained a certain élan that is still found today.

Rank

In many (particularly Commonwealth) armies, "rifleman" is a rank equivalent to private, abbreviated Rfn.

Modern tactics

Afghan National Army riflemen performing safety checks on their M16 rifles at a firing range, 2010

Modern riflemen are armed with select-fire assault rifles, which are considered technically distinct from older forms of rifle. However, the grouping of infantry according to their function as linemen is the structure which early modern militaries emerged from. Riflemen are the basic modern soldiers from which all other soldierly functions stem. Though by tradition certain infantry units are based on the rifleman, they employ a variety of other specialised soldiers in conjunction with the rifleman.

In the context of the modern fire team, rifleman can be used to indicate a basic position such as scout, team leader, or designated marksman. In the same context, the terms "designated automatic rifleman" and "assistant automatic rifleman" are used to describe a soldier who carries either a light support weapon or its ammunition.


Rifleman

The term "long-rifleman" is often used by police tactical units, counterterrorist units, and small-scale team-based military forces worldwide. It is an assignment rather than a rank, and refers to a marksman or sharpshooter (not a sniper, who is additionally an expert in fieldcraft) who is meant to expand the team's effective range with a long, scoped rifle.

Rifleman in different countries

Australia

Riflemen are employed by the Australian Army in both the Regular Army and the Army Reserve. Riflemen in the Australian Army are members of the Royal Australian Infantry Corps. Riflemen in the Regular Army are organised into seven battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment.

The 7 battalions are composed of:

  * 1st Battalion (1 RAR)
  * 2nd Battalion (2 RAR)
  * 3rd Battalion (3 RAR)
  * 5th Battalion (5 RAR)
  * 6th Battalion (6 RAR)
  * 7th Battalion (7 RAR)
  * 8th/9th Battalion (8/9 RAR).

Riflemen of the Army Reserve are organised into individual state and university regiments with reserve depots being found in many places throughout rural and metropolitan Australia.

India

In the Indian Army, of the 28 infantry regiments, ten are designated rifle regiments and are distinguished by their black rank badges, black buttons on their service and ceremonial uniforms, and a dark green beret. Additionally, a paramilitary force, the Assam Rifles and Eastern Frontier Rifles, also follows the traditions of the rifle regiment.

These regiments are:

Rajputana Rifles Garhwal Rifles Jammu and Kashmir Rifles 1st Gorkha Rifles (The Malaun Regiment) 3 Gorkha Rifles 4 Gorkha Rifles 5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force) 8 Gorkha Rifles 9 Gorkha Rifles 11 Gorkha Rifles

Israel

In the Israel Defense Forces every soldier goes through some basic infantry training called Tironut. However, the level of training changes according to the role and unit to which the soldier belongs. The Rifleman profession (in Hebrew: רובאי) includes basic military skills, physical training, military discipline, and use of the assault rifle. More infantry skills (such as operating diverse weapons) are added as the level of training increases.


Rifleman

Basic training (Tironut):

  * Non-combat soldiers are trained as Rifleman 02.
  * Combat-support troops are trained as Rifleman 03.
  * Combat Engineering soldiers, Field Intelligence Corps soldiers, Border Guard policemen and infantry soldiers are trained as Rifleman 05.

Advanced training (Imun Mitkadem):

  * Combat soldiers of Artillery Corps are trained as Rifleman 03.
  * Specialized Combat Soldiers of the Artillery corps are trained as Rifleman 04.
  * Combat soldiers of Armor corps are trained as Rifleman 04.
  * mounted Field Intelligence Corps soldiers are trained as Recon Rifleman 05.
  * infantry Field Intelligence Corps soldiers are trained as Recon Rifleman 07.
  * Combat Engineering sappers are trained as Rifleman 07.
  * Infantry soldiers are trained as Rifleman 07.

Additional training for combat soldiers:

  * Combat squad commanders are trained as Rifleman 08.
  * Combat Senior Sergeants are trained as Rifleman 10.
  * Combat officers are trained as Rifleman 12.

Rhodesia

The Rhodesia Regiment had an affiliation with the King's Royal Rifle Corps since World War I. The regiment's badge was the Maltese Cross, the colours were red, black and rifle green and rifle green berets were worn. A private soldier had the title of Rifleman.

United Kingdom

From their inception British Rifle Regiments were distinguished by a dark green dress with blackened buttons, black leather equipment, and sombre facing colours designed for concealment. This has been retained to the present day for those British units that still carry on the traditions of the riflemen. Their most famous weapon was the Baker rifle (officially known as the Pattern 1800 Infantry Rifle), which in the hands of the elite 95th regiment and the light companies of the 60th regiment and the Kings German Legion gained fame in the Peninsular War against Napoleonic France.

During the Siege of Delhi the 8th (Sirmoor) Local Battalion along with the 60th Rifles defended Hindu Rao's House during which a strong bond developed. After the rebellion, the 60th Rifles pressed for the Sirmoor Battalion to become a rifle regiment. This honour was granted to them the following year (1858) when the Battalion was renamed the Sirmoor Rifle Regiment. Later all British Army Gurkha regiments were designated rifle regiments a nomenclature maintained to this day with the Royal Gurkha Rifles.

The rank of Rifleman instead of Private was officially introduced in 1923.

The British military had, from the union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 until the end of the Napoleonic Wars, included a standing army (the "Regular Army") and the Board of Ordnance, a more ancient part-time, conscripted Militia, the part-time Yeomanry cavalry, and various short-lived volunteer and fencible units formed for the duration of emergencies. In the 1850s, the Militia was re-organised into a voluntarily-recruited force that, like the army, enlisted recruits for fixed terms of service.

Concerns over the vulnerability of Britain to attack by a continental power, especially with much of the Regular Army garrisoning the Empire, also led to the creation of a permanent Volunteer Force. Although this would include various types of units, the majority were company-sized Volunteer Rifle Corps, dressed in rifle-green or grey uniforms and trained as skirmishers to support the line infantry of the regular army or to act independently to harry enemy forces.


Rifleman

Successive reforms saw the smaller corps grouped into battalions with neighbouring corps, then most lost their identities when they became volunteer battalions of new county regiments 1881. These regiments typically contained two regular battalions, which had previously been separate single battalion regiments, as the first and second battalions, sharing a depot, with militia and volunteer units in the same county becoming additionally numbered battalions. As the majority of these new regiments were formed from regular line infantry and most of the volunteer rifle corps linked with them would lose their identity as rifle units. Examples included the Robin Hood Rifles, which was to become the 7th (Robin Hood) Battalion, Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment). The rifles identity was not always lost despite becoming part of a line infantry regiment.

The 5th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps, became part of the 2nd Administrative Battalion Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, which became the 5th (Liverpool Rifle Brigade) Rifle Volunteer Corps, the 2nd Volunteer Battalion of the King's Regiment (Liverpool), and then the 6th Battalion (Rifles) King's Regiment (Liverpool). In 1936, the battalion was retrained to operate searchlights and redesignated the 38th (The King's Regiment) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Royal Engineers (Territorial Army), and in 1940 it was renamed the 38th (The Kings Regiment) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery (Territorial Army). Despite the change of parent corps, the battalion wore 'Liverpool Rifles' shoulder titles with red lettering on a Rifle green backgrounds.

Other volunteer rifle corps retained their independence and their identities through the various re-organisations of the latter 19th and earlier 20th Centuries, such as the Artists Rifles. Twenty-six former volunteer rifle corps in London on the formation of the Territorial Force (merging Militia, Yeomanry and Volunteer Force) in 1908 became battalions of the new London Regiment, with each retaining its own distinctive rifle green or grey uniform. Colonial military establishments often lagged behind re-organisations in Britain or followed different paths of re-organisation. Examples include the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps, which was not re-organised as a territorial until 1921, but remained an independent corps and retained the same name until being re-designated the Bermuda Rifles in 1949 (it lost its rifles identity when amalgamated into the Royal Bermuda Regiment in 1965) and the Hong Kong Artillery and Rifle Volunteer Corps, re-named the Hong Kong Defence Corps by 1917.

In 1808, the United States Army created its first Regiment of Riflemen. During the War of 1812 three more Rifle Regiments were raised but disbanded after the war. The Rifle Regiment was disbanded in 1821.

In the Mexican–American War Colonel Jefferson Davis created and led the Mississippi Rifles.

Riflemen were listed as separate to infantry up to the American Civil War.

During the Civil War, Sharpshooter regiments were raised in the North with several companies being raised by individual states for their own regiments.

In the United States Marine Corps, the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 0311 is for Rifleman. It is the primary infantry MOS for the Marine Corps, equivalent to the U.S. Army MOS 11B for Infantryman. Training for Marine Corps Riflemen is conducted at the U.S. Marine Corps School of Infantry and training for U.S. Army Riflemen is conducted at U.S. Army Infantry School.

Jesus Freak Hideout

Joshua Andre, specifying in a three and half star review for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Overall a solid and competent EP that still needs improvement and work, but also continues my interest for Planetshakers a bit more; this first EP in a new series doesn't compare to the tracks on Heaven And Earth yet. However these tracks are on the whole inspiring and hopeful and can be cried out and sung to Jesus during times of joy and hardship.

Maypan coconut palm

Maypan is an F1 hybrid coconut palm that was developed by the Research Department of the Coconut Industry Board of Jamaica to be resistant to Lethal Yellowing disease.Cocos nucifera and, after extensive disease exposure and yield performance trials, was named and released in 1974 when a suitable method of mass controlled pollination had been devised.DwarfxTall hybrid,Malayan Dwarf seed parents, grown in an isolated seed garden and kept constantly emasculated, are regularly pollinated by blowing a mixture of talc and pollen collected from selected palms of a variety known locally as Panama Tall. This combination gives the Maypan an LY disease resistance approaching that of the Malayan Dwarf and much of the windstorm tolerance of the Panama Tall. It grows to approximately 18 meters in height. The LY resistance of the Maypan, of both of its parents, and of other coconut varieties generally, has been called into question since the 1990s but Maypan, and F1 hybrids using the same types of parents, are still the planting material of choice in the Caribbean and Latin American countries where LY occurs.


Japanese submarine I-152

"Japanese submarine I-52 (1922)" redirects here. For other submarines with the name, see Japanese submarine I-52.

I-52 (伊号第五十二潜水艦, I-go dai-go-jyuni sensuikan), later I-152 (伊号第百五十二潜水艦, I-go dai-hyaku-go-jyuni sensuikan), was the second prototype of the Kaidai-class submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Commissioned in 1925, she became a training ship in 1935 and was decommissioned in 1942 during the early months of the Pacific campaign of World War II. She subsequently served as the stationary training hulk Haikan No. 14 and was scrapped after the war.

Background

Following World War I, the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff began to re-consider submarine warfare as an element of fleet strategy. Before the war, the Imperial Japanese Navy regarded submarines as useful only for short-range coastal point defense.Imperial German Navy in the deployment of long-range cruiser submarines for commerce raiding Japanese strategists came to realize possibilities for using the weapon for long range reconnaissance, and in a war of attrition against an enemy fleet approaching Japan.Eight-six fleet program as Project S22 (later designated I-51), a second prototype with a different design (the future I-52) was authorized in fiscal year 1919.

Design

The first Kaidai prototype, Project S22, was based on the latest Royal Navy design, the British K class submarine; it became the Kaidai I type submarine I-51. The second Kaidai prototype, the Kaidai II type, was based on the German Type U 139 submarine.Project S25.


Japanese submarine I-152

With improved Sulzer diesel engines, I-52 was had a single hull and two engines, rather than the double-hull, four-engine design of I-51. The greater power and more streamlined shape gave a slightly higher surface speed than that of I-51, or even the Imperial German Navy submarine U-135, but with reduced range.I-52 had a design speed of 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph) on the surface and 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) submerged, but as completed, achieved only 19.5 knots (36.1 km/h; 22.4 mph) on the surface. Her unrefueled range on the surface was 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km; 12,000 mi), only half that of I-51.

The Japanese did not regard I-52 as a completely successful design despite the various technical achievements her design and construction represented and her superior performance to that of I-51. They planned several more submarines of the same Kaidai II design, but cancelled all of them before formally signing contracts for their construction after the arrival of seven Imperial German Navy U-boats Japan received as war reparations at the end of World War I prompted a review of Japanese submarine design concepts.I-52 thus was the only Kaidai II-type submarine constructed.

Construction and commissioning

Project S25 was laid down as Submarine No.51 (第五十一号潜水艦, Dai-go-jyu-ichi-go sensuikan) at the Kure Naval Arsenal in Kure, Japan, on either 14 Februarylaunched on 12 June 1923.I-52 伊号第五十二潜水艦 (I-go dai-go-jyuni sensuikan) on 1 November 1924,commissioned on 20 May 1925.

Operational history

Pre-World War II

On the day of her commissioning, I-52 was attached to the Kure Naval District. December 1925, she was assigned to Submarine Division 17 in Submarine Squadron 2 in the 2nd Fleet, a component of the Combined Fleet.Hiroshima Bay when the Hakata Bay Railway Company train ferry Fukuoka Maru accidentally rammed her in her port side, damaging her.


Japanese submarine I-152

Submarine Division 17 was reassigned to the Kure Naval District on 10 December 1928,I-52 never returned to the fleet after Submarine Division 17′s reassignment to the Kure Naval District in 1928. Instead, she was retained as part of Submarine Division 17 at the Kure Naval Arsenal for crew training. Submarine Division 17 was deactivated on 15 November 1935,I-52 was assigned directly to the Kure Naval District that day.

Sources are unclear on I-52′s status in the latter half of the 1930s and at the beginning of the 1940s. She may have become a stationary training ship at the Maizuru Naval Engineering School as early as mid-1935,Maizuru Naval District for this duty, but sources disagree on whether this reassignment took place on 15 December 1938

World War II

On 8 December 1941 — the day the Pacific campaign of World War II began in East Asia, which was 7 December 1941 on the other side of the International Date Line in Hawaii, where Japan began the war in the Pacific with its attack on Pearl Harbor — I-52 was assigned to the Kure Guard Force in the Kure Naval District for duty as a training ship in the Seto Inland Sea, based at Kure.I-152 (伊号第百五十二潜水艦, I-go dai-hyaku-go-jyuni sensuikan) on 20 May 1942.

I-152 was placed in reserve on 14 July 1942navy list on 1 August 1942.Haikan No. 14 ("Hulk No. 14"), she became a stationary training hulk at the submarine school at Kure.Hirao branch of the Ōtake Submarine School in Yamaguchi Prefecture.Allies of World War II ended on 15 August 1945, she was laid up at Hirao.Haikan No. 14 was scrapped at the former Kure Naval Arsenal between 1946 and 1948.

Riddick Bowe vs. Buster Mathis Jr.

Riddick Bowe vs. Buster Mathis Jr., billed as "Raging Bowe" was a professional boxing match contested on August 13, 1994.

Background

Riddick Bowe had lost his previous fight on November 6, 1993, to Evander Holyfield for the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles.Francois Botha.

The fight

Bowe had little trouble with the outmatched Mathis, easily out-boxing him throughout the first 3 rounds. However, the fight ended in controversy in round four. With around a minute left in the round, Bowe hurt Mathis with a series of power punches, causing Mathis to take a knee in order to take a break. However, just after Mathis took the knee, Bowe landed a strong right hook that briefly knocked Mathis unconscious. Feeling that Mathis was in no shape to continue after the foul, referee Arthur Mercante Sr. immediately stopped the fight, though no decision was announced. Mercante and New Jersey State Athletic Control Board head Larry Hazzard would then have discussion in regards to whether the decision should be a disqualification victory for Mathis, a knockout victory for Bowe, if they should go to the judges scorecards and award whoever was ahead a victory by technical decision or declare the fight either a technical draw or no contest. After nearly 20 minutes of deliberation, the fight was finally declared a no contest. Bowe apologized for the foul stating that he could not tell that Mathis, who used a crouching stance and was five inches shorter than Bowe, had taken a knee.

Willem Panneels

St Sebastian with a putto crowning him with a laurel wreath, Panneels after Rubens, etching, c.1631

Willem Panneels (c.1600 – c.1634) was a Flemish engraver who was active in the first half of the 17th century. He is mainly known for the copies he made of drawings from the personal study of Rubens.

Biography

Very little is known about his personal life. He was born around 1600 probably in Antwerp. Until his arrival in Rubens' workshop in 1624-1625 no information about him is known. When he left Rubens’ workshop in 1630, he traveled to Cologne, Baden and Frankfurt am Main. In 1631 he stayed in Mainz,Anselm Casimir Wambold von Umstadt. In 1632 he traveled on to Strasbourg and after that date the historical records are silent about him. It is assumed he died around 1634 in Baden-Baden.

Panneels and Rubens

Willem Panneels began working for Rubens in 1624-1625 as an engraver. In 1628 he was registered with the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke. The register states that he was an assistant of Rubens. The fact that Panneels registered with the Guild is exceptional since Rubens and the members of his workshop were exempted from registration with the Guild because of Rubens' appointment to the court as a court painter. Only two other of Rubens' assistants were registered with the Guild. Panneels' registration with the Guild shows that he had fulfilled the requirements towards becoming a master and that he was ready to start his own workshop. However, he stayed on at Rubens' workshop for another two years.

Sketch of a cow's head, Panneels after Rubens, c. 1628-1629


Willem Panneels

Examples of the prints he made during this period include ‘’David slays the bear’’, ‘’St Sebastian bound to a tree with a putti’’ and ‘’St. Agnes’’. His style is close to that of Rubens. There were sufficient orders for him to complete in Rubens’ workshop. Just like Rubens’ other collaborators, Panneels could draw from an extensive collection of artwork and sketches to practice his skills. This collection was kept in a closet or room (referred to in Flemish as cantoor) that served as a repository for documents and models. The copying of these works belonged to the standard training received in a workshop. The Danish physician Otto Sperling who visited Rubens' workshop in the early 1720s reported on the active copying work that took place in the workshop. The works kept in the cantoor also served as a model for execution of new art works. The cantoor of Rubens was very extensive because of the many assignments he had worked on and his regular travels abroad where he would make sketches of the many new things he encountered there. All these sketches were kept inside the cantoor.

St George slays the dragon, Panneels after the painting by Rubens in the Museo del Prado, etching, c 1631

In the year 1628 Rubens went on a diplomatic mission. During his absence Panneels looked after Rubens' house and workshop. This gave him access to all the works which Rubens kept in his cantoor. It was not general practice for collaborators to have unrestricted access to the cantoor as it was regarded as important intellectual property of the artist that he would use in his creative process. Rubens had therefore provided in his will that the works in the cantoor should stay in the family should any of his children wish to follow in his artistic footsteps.

Panneels made a large number of copies of the works present in the cantoor and of Rubens' sketch books of anatomy and garments. 262 of the more than 500 works belonging to the Rubens cantoor have been identified as being by the hand of Panneels. Panneels mainly copied parts of works or made loose sketches. Thus he copied anatomical sketches or parts of animals.


Willem Panneels

The drawings he made were not exact copies and display some differences with the originals. Perhaps this indicates an independent exercise in creativity by Panneels. Shortly after Rubens' return to Antwerp, he decided to move abroad and establish himself as an independent artist. It is therefore possible that he made the copies of Rubens’ cantoor to train his own style and creativity. Panneels put his own signature on the copies thus making clear that they were copies after Rubens and that he did not want to resell them as original Rubens drawings.

The copies that Panneels made of Rubens’ cantoor are an important source of information about Rubens’ creative process.

Work

The etchings of Panneels were often based on paintings or designs of Rubens. His own work is also heavily influenced by the style of Rubens. Only a few engravings are known from the period after he left Rubens’ workshop. One of these works is the engraving entitled ‘’St George slays the dragon’. In these later works he continues to work in Rubens’ style and based on his paintings.

Japanese submarine I-181

I-181 (originally I-81) was an Imperial Japanese Navy Kaidai-type cruiser submarine of the KD7 sub-class commissioned in 1943. During World War II, she conducted two war patrols, rescued the United States Marine Corps ace Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, and took part in the New Guinea campaign before American warships sank her in January 1944.

Design and description

The submarines of the KD7 sub-class were medium-range attack submarines developed from the preceding KD6 sub-class. They displaced 1,862 metric tons (1,833 long tons) surfaced and 2,644 metric tons (2,602 long tons) submerged. The submarines were 105.5 meters (346 ft 2 in) long, had a beam of 8.25 meters (27 ft 1 in) and a draft of 4.6 meters (15 ft 1 in). They had a diving depth of 80 m (262 ft) and a complement of 86 officers and crewmen.

For surface running, the submarines were powered by two 4,000-brake-horsepower (2,983 kW) diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a 900-horsepower (671 kW) electric motor. The submarines could reach 23 knots (43 km/h; 26 mph) on the surface and 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) submerged On the surface, the KD7s had a range of 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km; 9,200 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph); submerged, they had a range of 50 nmi (93 km; 58 mi) at 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph).

The submarines were armed with six internal 53.3 cm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes, all in the bow. They carried one reload for each tube; a total of a dozen torpedoes. They were originally intended to be armed with two twin-gun mounts for the 25 mm (1.0 in) Type 96 anti-aircraft gun, but a 120 mm (4.7 in) deck gun was substituted for one 25 mm mount during construction.

The circumstances of I-181′s loss remain unclear. The Japanese garrison at Gali reported witnessing a running battle in the Vitiaz Strait off Gali on the evening of 16 January 1944 involving I-181 and an unidentified American destroyer and PT boat in which I-181 was depth-charged and sunk with the loss of all on board.I-181 aground in Kelanoa Harbour on the coast of New Guinea, leading to the assertion by some sources that she ran aground and was destroyed with the loss of all hands during the battle on 16 January 1944,towed Japanese supply container destroyed on 24 December 1943 by the U.S. Navy PT boats PT-151 and PT-192.I-181 in St. George's Channel on 16 January 1944.

Kola Bay

1598 map of Kola Bay, from Gerrit de Veer's diary of Willem Barentsz' explorations.

Kola Bay (Russian: Кольский залив) or Murmansk Fjord is a 57-km-long fjord of the Barents Sea that cuts into the northern part of the Kola Peninsula. It is up to 7 km wide and has a depth of 200 to 300 metres. The Tuloma, Rosta and Kola Rivers discharge into the bay.

The eastern shore is craggy and precipitous, the western one is comparatively level. The ports of Murmansk and Severomorsk sit on the east side. Polyarny, the main base of Russia's Northern Fleet, is on the west side of the bay.

Semidiurnal tides in the Murmansk Fjord are as high as 4 metres. In winter, the southern part of the bay may be covered in ice. The Kola Bay Bridge spans the Kola Bay near its southern end

Theatre Guild Glasgow

Theatre Guild Glasgow is a non-profit company specializing in the production of musical theatre in Glasgow, Scotland.

History

Theatre Guild Glasgow was formed in 1960. The company is one of Glasgow's most highly respected musical theatre groups. They quickly earned a reputation for originality and professionalism and over the years notched up many Glaswegian, Scottish, British, European and even World amateur premiers.

Towards the late 1980s they began to suffer from rising costs and falling audience numbers as the appetite for new and rarely performed musical shows dwindled. In 1993 the company was on the verge of folding following a number of large financial losses. However, a new committee was elected from the existing membership and the company was saved by a combination of fund raising (driven by founder member, Billy Love) and a change in policy regarding the production of rarely performed shows. Their first profit making show for some years was Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! in 1995.

Today, the Theatre Guild continues to entertain Glasgow audiences in city centre venues. Famous past members include Billy Boyd (who featured in the Lord of the Rings movies).

The Swing is a conventionally laid out ultralight/LSA aircraft with a single engine and high wing. The composite parts are built using a vacuum technology producing a sandwich structure. The fuel tank, engine mount and lift struts use melamine composites. The constant chord wings, carrying 3° of dihedral, are built from GRP composite with hard leading edges and fabric elsewhere. Each wing has a single lift strut with a short auxiliary strut joining it near the wing. The wings carry GRP mass-balanced ailerons and three-position plain flaps.

The fin of the Swing has a strongly swept leading edge and a nearly upright rudder. Early versions had an all moving, though braced, tailplane mounted about halfway up the fin but more recently this has been replaced by a fuselage mounted tailplane. Narrow near the tail, the fuselage increases in diameter to the cabin, placed under the wings. Cockpit width is 132 cm (52.0 in). The cockpit features bulged, glazed doors to improve visibility and room. Dual controls are standard, the seating side by side.

The early Swings were powered by either 60 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912 UL flat-four engine or the two-stroke twin-cylinder 49 kW (65 hp) Rotax 582 UL, driving propellers with two or more blades. kW (99 hp) Rotax 912 ULS flat-four with a two-bladed propeller.

The Swing has a fixed undercarriage, which may be of either tricycle or tailwheel configuration.

The aircraft has been accepted in the United States as a special light-sport aircraft.

Operational history

Swings were produced for the Czech market until around 1997. Eleven had been sold by the time it became available in the United States from 2007. Thirteen had been produced by mid-2010.
