Japanese submarine I-183

I-183 (originally I-83) was an Imperial Japanese Navy Kaidai type cruiser submarine of the KD7 sub-class commissioned in 1943. During World War II, she was sunk with all hands by United States Navy fleet submarine in April 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 and 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) underwater. 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 12 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 for combat on the surface was substituted for one 25 mm mount during construction.

Construction and commissioning

I-183 was laid down as Submarine No. 161Kawasaki Dockyard Company at its shipyard in Kobe, Japan, on 26 December 1941I-83,I-183 on 20 May 1942.launched on 21 January 1943commissioned on 3 October 1943.

Service history

October–December 1943

On the day of her commissioning, I-183 was attached to the Sasebo Naval District and assigned to Submarine Squadron 11 in the 1st Fleet, an element of the Combined Fleet.Hiroshima Bay and in the Iyo Nada in the Seto Inland Sea.

At 10:40 on 6 October 1943, I-183 began diving exercises in the waters of Hiroshima Bay west of Osu on Etajima.crash dive, a sailor failed to close the main induction valve, causing I-183′s engine room to flood.I-183′s crew made an emergency blow of her main ballast tank, but her stern sank to the bottom, and she came to rest with her bow sticking out of the water.Lieutenant Yoshio Hirobe managed to close the watertight hatch leading to the aft crew compartment, containing flooding to the main engine room and electric motor room, but trapping him and 15 other men in the aft section of I-183.I-183′s crew escaped through her forward torpedo tubes, and local fishermen rescued them.

After a floating crane and a team of divers arrived on the scene from the Kure Naval Arsenal at Kure, Japan, a rescue operation began at 20:00 on 6 October 1943 under the personal direction of the commander of Submarine Squadron 11, Rear Admiral Marquis Tadashige Daigo.I-183 was refloated at 1400 on 7 October 1943, but by then all 16 men trapped in the after compartment had died.

While I-183 was under repair after her accident, Submarine Squadron 11 was reassigned to the 6th Fleet, another element of the Combined Fleet, on 25 November 1943.

January–April 1944

January–April 1944

Repairs to I-183 were completed in January 1944, and she began post-repair workups that month.Allied task force heading toward Palau, and I-183 and the submarines I-44, Ro-47,Ro-116, and Ro-117 received orders to patrol in the Pacific Ocean east of Palau.I-183 got underway in company with I-44 on 31 March 1944 bound for her patrol area, but she suffered a mechanical failure that forced her to turn back, and she returned to Kure on 6 April 1944 for repairs.

On 28 April 1944, I-183 was reassigned to Submarine Squadron 22 in the 6th Fleet.Saipan in the Mariana Islands and then Truk Atoll in the Caroline Islands.

Loss

On the first evening of her voyage, I-183 was exiting the Bungo Strait on the surface, zigzagging and making 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph), when the United States Navy submarine USS Pogy (SS-266) detected her on radar at 21:21 on 28 April 1944.Pogy gave chase at flank speed, and by 00:34 on 29 April 1944 had closed to a range of 1,300 yards (1,200 m) 30 nautical miles (56 km; 35 mi) south of Cape Ashizuri, the southernmost point of Shikoku.Pogy fired four Mark 23 torpedoes set to run at a depth of 6 feet (1.8 m).I-183 at 00:36, and she sank in 40 seconds at 32°07′N 133°03′E / 32.117°N 133.050°E.Pogy′s crew heard four or five loud explosions at 00:39, and after 00:42 Pogy reversed course and passed through a large oil slick which her patrol report described as "smelling like the new 100-octane aromatic aviation gasoline."

On 28 May 1944, the Imperial Japanese Navy declared I-183 to be presumed lost with all 92 hands south of Honshu.Navy List on 10 August 1944.

Ernst Bernard Heyne

Ernst Bernhard Heyne (15 September 1825 – 16 October 1881) was a German botanist and horticulturist and a pioneer in the early development of agriculture in Australia.

E.B. Heyne

Ernst Bernhard Heyne (1825-1881) born on 15 September 1825 at Meissen, Saxony, son of Carl August Heyne, M.D., and his wife Marianne Tierof. Heyne graduated with a Diploma of Botany from the University of Leipzig, Saxony. As an accomplished linguist and mathematician, he obtained a position at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Dresden.

Life in Australia

His journey and arrival in Melbourne on 13 February 1849 are described in his letters, published in German as Australia Felix (Dresden, 1850. They contain shrewd observations of the climate, soil, vegetation, water supplies and economy and habits of the colonists and the local indigenous population as well as advice to prospective migrants.

After his father died, he purchased a house in Richmond and his mother Marianne and his younger sister Agnes migrated to Melbourne where his mother continued her educational work.

In 1854 Heyne was employed at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens as chief plantsman. He drew one of the earliest designs for the layout of the gardens. When Ferdinand von Mueller became director, Heyne was appointed his secretary and went with him on several Victorian expeditions. He helped to classify much of the botanical material collected by von Mueller in the 1850s, and is commemorated by Aster heynei F. Muell. = Olearia xerophila, and Cyperus heynei Boeckel. = Cyperus ornatus R. Br. His created a large herbarium which was destroyed after his death.

In January 1869, Heyne moved to Adelaide where he made an extensive collection, since lost, of local seaweeds. He is credited with finding Dicksonia antarctica on the eastern slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The identification of these tree-ferns, now extinct in South Australia, is authenticated by a specimen in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens: the label written by von Mueller reads: Mount Lofty, S. Austr. 1870—E. B. Heyne.


Ernst Bernard Heyne

Heyne established a nursery at Hackney, near Adelaide, and opened a shop for seeds and plants in Rundle Street. He contributed regularly to the South Australian Register and the Observer chiefly on the cultivation of forest trees, forage plants and pasture grasses. The colonists were then interested in finding the crops best suited to their soil and climate, and those plants and trees likely to prove of economic and industrial importance. Heyne translated many articles and pamphlets on viticulture from German, French and Spanish, and wrote on the best methods of treating plant diseases, especially dodder in lucerne and oidium in vines. At a meeting sponsored by the Chamber of Manufactures in 1870 after a lecture by Dr Moritz Schomburgk, Heyne spoke on the importance of growing trees, hedges, hickory, yellow willow, sultana vines, tobacco, sunflowers and mulberries. He had published Vines and their Synonyms in 1869 and became secretary to the Vignerons' Club, which in 1876 presented him with a gold watch as a tribute to his work.

In 1871 Heyne published The Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Garden, which was enlarged as The Amateur Gardener in 1881 and ran to four editions. His Rueckblick in German had appeared in the 1850s.

Heyne was a sincere adherent of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, but on 3 December 1870 at the Unitarian Christian Church, Adelaide, he married Wilhelmina Laura, daughter of Heinrich Edouard Hanckel, bookseller of Norwood, and his wife Johanne, née Von Bruno. They had three daughters, Agnes, Laura and Ida and two sons.

Heyne continued to work until he became ill with asthma and nearly blind. He died on 16 October 1881 at his home in Norwood. His son Carl was still at Roseworthy Agricultural College and, when he qualified, managed his father's shop and nursery with a partner.

Though serious, Heyne was cheerful and sociable with many friends. He delighted in conversation and was a prodigious writer. Though overshadowed by von Mueller, his botanical and horticultural work greatly contributed to the early development of two colonies.

The Heyne Nursery in Adelaide continued under the direction of his son Carl Franz (1869-1948). The Heyne Garden Centre was established by his grandson Franz Waldemar (1913-2003) and continues today as the Heyne Garden Centre.


Nothin' Less Than Love

"Nothin' Less Than Love" is a song written by Wayne Tester and Rusty Young. It was originally recorded by American country music artist Bryan White on his 1994 self-titled album. It was later recorded by American country music group The Buffalo Club. It was released in June 1997 as the second single from the album The Buffalo Club. The song reached #26 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Critical reception

A review of the single in Billboard was favorable, stating that the song "is marked by soaring vocals, a strong pop hook, and a well-crafted lyric."

Judith (poem)

The Old English poem Judith describes the beheading of Assyrian general Holofernes by Israelite Judith of Bethulia. It is found in the same manuscript as the heroic poem Beowulf, the Nowell Codex, dated ca. 975–1025. The Old English poem is one of many retellings of the Holofernes–Judith tale as it was found in the Book of Judith, still present in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian Bibles. The other extant version is by Ælfric of Eynsham, late 10th-century Anglo-Saxon abbot and writer; his version is a homily (in prose) of the tale.

History and incompleteness

Judith was first discovered as an appendage to the Nowell Codex. Though it is certain that the poem is a derivative of the Book of Judith, still present in the Roman Catholic Bible, its authorship and year of origin remain a mystery.

The poem is incomplete: the version in the manuscript is 348 lines long, divided in three sections marked with the numbers X, XI, and XII. The numbers correspond to the 10th verse of chapter twelve, the 11th verse of chapter thirteen, and the 12th verse of chapter fourteen. Only the last three out of twelve cantos have been preserved. What remains of the poem opens in the middle of a banquet. Had the first nine cantos been preserved, it is often thought that Judith would be considered one of the most laudable Old English works.Reformation, the Book of Judith was removed from the Protestant Bible. However, it is still present in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles. Many discrepancies exist between the poem and Book, most notably in regards to the portrayal of Holofernes and the exaggeration of Judith’s righteousness in the poem.

It is unknown when Judith became fragmented, but it is suggested that it was already fragmented when Laurence Nowell signed the manuscript in the 1500s.

It is evident that the story of Judith has been modified and set within the framework of the Old English present. Much of the geographic and political structures relevant to a Hebrew culture have been removed or adapted, relevant to an Old English audience.

Plot, structure and themes

A medieval illustration of Judith and Holophernes


Judith (poem)

A medieval illustration of Judith and Holophernes

Like Beowulf, Judith conveys a moral tale of heroic triumph over monstrous beings, if we follow the supposition of Andy Orchard’s Pride and Prodigies: Studies in the Monsters of the Beowulf Manuscript. Both moral and political, the poem tells of a brave woman’s efforts to save and protect her people. Judith is depicted as an exemplar woman, grounded by ideal morale, probity, courage, and religious conviction. Judith's character is rendered blameless and virtuous, and her beauty is praised. In line 109, Judith is referred to as an ides ellenrof, "a brave woman". The author gives her the entitlement of a halige meowle (line 56), "holy woman", and a snoteran idese (line 55), "wise woman", whilst her appearance is described as aelfscinu (line 13), "elf-shining", "beautiful". Although Judith kills a man, she appears to be doing God's will; Holofernes, while described to some extent as a standard military leader in the Beowulfian vein, is also cast as a salacious drunk and becomes monstrous in his excess.

Portraying the epitome of Germanic heroism, Judith was likely composed during a time of war as a model for the Anglo-Saxon people. The Abbot Ælfric similarly created his own homiletic interpretation of the Book of Judith. At the time of his creation, Vikings were ransacking England. Ælfric professed that Judith was to serve as an example to the people. In a letter, Ælfric wrote: þeo is eac on English on ure wisan iset eow mannum to bisne, þet ge eower eard mid wæpnum beweriæn wið onwinnende here, meaning "It is also set as an example for you in English according to our style, so that you will defend your land with weapons against an attacking force".


Judith (poem)

Ælfric’s Judith is quite like that of the poem; furthermore, the characters seem to have served the same purpose—to stand as an example to the people in a time of war. Judith's city of Bethulia was being plundered by Assyrians. Holofernes was an Assyrian general and king, often drunk and constantly monstrous.

The Vulgate Liber Iudith, the posited source text of these works, has been mutilated in order to contain the Anglo-Saxon heroic mode:

“Perhaps the most striking difference between the Old English Judith and the Vulgate version is the setting of the story. In the Vulgate version of the story, Judith’s people, the citizens of Bethulia in particular and the Israelites in general, are shown as more religious than martial, led by priests and elders,rather than kings and generals. The Old English poet deliberately chose to place Judith in a more military setting. Thus, the seeming paradox of a woman as the military leader of her people is not just the result of a difficulty in adapting a biblical story to a Germanic heroic idiom.”

There are also key narrative details: the Old English Judith, after severing the head of Holofernes, proudly displayed his head to her Hebrew army and led them into a victorious battle against the Assyrians. In contrast, in the Book of Judith, the Assyrians simply fled Bethulia after discovering the deceased body of Holofernes.

Poetic techniques

Judith contains many of the poetic techniques common to Old English poetry, including alliteration. The poem used the same kind of variation as do other Old English poems. An example is found in the description of God, who at various times is referred to as 'ælmihtigan' (the Almighty), 'mihtig Dryhten' (mighty Lord) and 'Scyppende' (Creator).

Destruction and preservation

The only existing copy of the poem is in the Beowulf manuscript, immediately following Beowulf. Damage to the manuscript was caused by the Cotton fire of 1731 and readings have been lost. In order to account for these lost words, modern editions of the poem are supplemented by references to Edward Thwaites' 1698 edition.

Authorship and date


Judith (poem)

Authorship and date

The consensus held by modern scholars allocates Judith to the authorship of Cynewulf, though several opposing theories have been proposed. The atypical absence of Cynewulf’s runic signature has led many not to attribute authorship to him.Judith, following Beowulf in the manuscript, was copied by the second of two scribes.

Palaeography

Much codicological and palaeographical evidence was lost in the Ashburnham House fire of 1731, including threads, folds and prick-marks.palaeography are, however, important and of interest when studying Judith and the constituent texts within the Nowell Codex, as the manuscript is written in two hands. Judith is in the hand of the second scribe, as is Beowulf from line 1939 onwards.

Orthography

In the Nowell Codex, the lack of scribal regularization is of note. The absence of -io spellings in Judith is of interest, in contrast to the ‘126’ <io> spellings in Beowulf, (totalling the pages transcribed by both A and B.)

As Peter Lucas has demonstrated, Scribe A, who copied the first 87 MS pages of Beowulf, made sure to use regularised <eo> spellings in ‘The Letter of Alexander the Great to Aristotle’, (66 instances,) and 'The Marvels of the East,’ (2 instances).

Conversely, The Life of St Christopher does not contain any <io> spellings, which leads to Lucas’ claim, that it is “extremely probable that Quire 14, containing Judith, is the nearest surviving part of the manuscript to its lost beginning, and that the quire was linked to the present Quire by just one quire, designated *0, at least part of which was discarded only as relatively recently as c. 1600.”

Downtown Fort William, Ontario

This article is about a neighbourhood in the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. For the former city that was amalgamated in 1970, see Fort William, Ontario.

Downtown Fort William, also known as Downtown Thunder Bay South or the South Core, is the urban core of the former city of Fort William, the southern half of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is centred on Victoriaville Civic Centre, an indoor shopping mall and civic centre built as part of an urban renewal project in the 1980s.Kaministiquia River by the Canadian Pacific Railway line, and its topography is relatively flat.

Downtown Fort William is the location of Thunder Bay City Hall, and numerous other government offices.

History

Downtown Fort William is one of the three nodes around which urban growth began in the Lakehead area. In 1883 the Canadian government transferred responsibility for the Transcontinental railway to the private Canadian Pacific Railway, which subsequently relocated the Lake Superior terminus from the Fort William Town Plot (West Fort William) to the lower Kaministiquia River, seven kilometres downstream from Westfort. Growth began at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Simpson Street, because the McVicar family had negotiated an agreement with the CPR to place the railway station on the McVicar patent, and because the CPR had erected its second and third Thunder Bay grain elevators (CPR Elevators A & B) at the foot of Victoria Avenue in 1884/85 and 1888. In 1891 the Municipality of Neebing acquired land from the McKellar family and began construction of a town hall on Donald Street Port Arthur's lack of a city hall, it became the location of Thunder Bay City Hall after the amalgamation of the two cities in 1970. Victoriaville Civic Centre was completed in 1980 and replaced the intersection of Victoria and Syndicate Avenues. However, due to the age of the structure and the loss of $500,000 per year on the mall, it is set to be demolished sometime in 2022, and will include reopening Victoria Avenue between Brodie and McKellar Streets, and construction of a new plaza along the Syndicate Avenue alignment between Victoria and Justice Avenues.

History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

Rushden & Diamonds F.C. were a Football Conference club based in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, England.

The merger

Rushden & Diamonds were formed on 21 April 1992 by a merger of Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds. The merger was the brainchild of Max Griggs, the owner of Dr. Martens. The new club took Rushden Town's place in the Midland Division of the Southern League, but played at Irthlingborough's Nene Park as Rushden's Hayden Road was not good enough for promotion (they had been demoted from the Premier Division the previous season due to the state of their ground). The first match was at home to Bilston Town in front of 315 fans and finished 2–2.

The early years (1992–1996)

The club's first few seasons were remarkable for the success the team enjoyed. In the first campaign as a new club under the stewardship of Roger Ashby (1992/93), the Diamonds finished 3rd in the Southern League Midland Division. The following season, before which a new 1,000 all-seater North Stand was opened, the club won the league, securing promotion to the Southern League Premier Division on the final day, after a nervy 3–2 win over Merthyr Tydfil ahead of 4,664. This promotion coincided with another big improvement at Nene Park, with the Diamond Centre and dressing rooms completing the South Stand development, while the construction of the 1,800 capacity Peter De Banke Terrace was also well under way.

The 1994/95 campaign was dominated by a superb run in the FA Trophy, as the club managed to reach the semi-Final stage and a two-legged tie against Woking. Diamonds won the home leg 1–0, but suffered a 2–0 defeat at Kingfield days later to succumb 2–1 on aggregate. Again, it only took two years for the Diamonds to again be promoted as champions, by the small margin of two points over Halesowen Town in 1996. The team had gained promotion to the Football Conference after just four years as a club. With only the east end of the ground undeveloped, the stunning 2,372 seat AirWair Stand was completed, opening in December 1996 to augment the stadium's capacity to 6,572.

The struggle to reach the Football League


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

The struggle to reach the Football League

Upon promotion to the Football Conference for the 1996/97 season, Brian Talbot replaced Roger Ashby as First Team Coach in the March of that campaign with the club bottom of the table. Talbot had a dramatic effect and managed to steer the club to mid-table safety. He was eventually appointed club manager on a permanent basis before the 1999/00 campaign. The team spent five seasons in total attempting to reach the Football League, finishing 12th in 1996/97, and then 4th, 4th, 2nd behind champions Kidderminster Harriers, and 1st. The stadium development also continued at a frantic pace. In the summer of 1998 executive boxes were added to the back of the North Stand, with new offices and club shop to boot. That same June work began on a roof over the Airwair Stand which was in full use by November.

The Diamonds had big success in the FA Cup within this period. In 1998/99, Forest Green, Leatherhead and Football League side Shrewsbury Town were all dispatched to set up a 2nd Round away clash with Doncaster Rovers. Both teams fought out a cagey goalless draw at Belle Vue to set up a replay at Nene Park, in which the home side triumphed 4–2 against 10-man Donny to progress. The reward was a dream tie at home to Leeds United. A record attendance of 6,431 witnessed a 0–0 draw as Rushden held their illustrious Premier League opponents to secure a replay in Yorkshire. Around 3,000 Diamonds fans made the trip up the M1 in a crowd of over 39,000 at Elland Road. Carl Heggs put Rushden into an 11th-minute lead. However, class told in the end and United eventually ran out 3–1 winners to halt Diamonds' superb Cup run.

The following season the club yet again made it to the 3rd Round, receiving another plum draw, this time away to Sheffield United. Rushden put in a spirited display and a Jon Brady goal was enough to hold the Division One side to a 1–1 draw at Bramall Lane. In the replay the home side held their own against The Blades with the score 0–0 after 90 minutes. United went ahead in extra-time but Diamonds immediately levelled to force the dreaded penalties. At 5–5 in sudden death Brady had his kick saved, and Marcus Bent converted from the spot for United to knock the Conference side out.


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

The championship-winning season in 2000/01 was Rushden's 8th top-six finish in their nine-year history. The club spent some serious money in pre-season in order to bolster their strike force, as they hoped to clinch the elusive Conference title at last. The huge sum of nearly £300,000 was spent on new players, including Duane Darby, a £100,000 purchase from Notts County and Justin Jackson from Morecambe, for whom £180,000 was paid. Jackson's fee was an unprecedented amount of money paid between two non-league clubs.Yeovil Town at Christmas time by a huge margin. However, despite some fans calling for Brian Talbot's head, Max Griggs' faith would be rewarded. A run of just one defeat from the remaining 23 matches saw the deficit clawed back. The club eventually finished six points ahead of their title rivals, securing promotion into Football League Division Three with a 2–1 win at Chester City.

Football League

2001/02

After three near-misses Diamonds finally fulfilled their aim, and won promotion to the Football League as Conference champions in 2001. The first ever Football League match for Rushden & Diamonds ended in a 1–0 victory away to York City. Although the team achieved a 3–2 win at Burnley in the League Cup, they struggled to adapt to their new surroundings and went seven games without a victory. This was put right with a home success versus Cheltenham Town to kick start the campaign, subsequently leading to a 10-match unbeaten run which included four wins. In the LDV Vans Trophy a demolition job by Cardiff City resulted in a 7–1 thumping for Diamonds at Ninian Park, whilst a loss at Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup 2nd Round put paid to any potential run. The club hit a mixed run of form on the approach to and during the Christmas period, though the signing of Onandi Lowe, a Jamaican international striker, proved to be a decisive acquisition. 2002 began with much improvement, as five wins from seven matches indicated a possible push for promotion. A 2–1 defeat to Hull City at Boothferry Park in early February was followed up by three draws and two wins, whilst Luton Town inflicted Rushden's first league defeat at Nene Park since September 2001 on 9 March.


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

Diamonds found themselves in a great position for a top-seven finish and four emphatic wins in a row put them on the cusp of a Play-Off place. A draw at Scunthorpe United and a defeat at home to Kidderminster Harriers however meant a win was needed on the final day to assure qualification for the play-offs. This was duly delivered with a 4–2 victory away to Halifax Town, as the club finished in sixth spot to set up a Play-Off Semi-Final against Rochdale. In the first leg at Nene Park the away side twice took the lead, but both times Rushden equalised as the match finished 2–2. In a mouth-watering second leg at Spotland, an unfortunate own goal by Tarkan Mustafa on 63 minutes put the hosts on the front foot. But Diamonds immediately responded through Onandi Lowe, and with quarter of an hour to go Paul Hall went through on goal, rounded the keeper, and tucked home for a 2–1 lead (4–3 on aggregate). Rushden held on to secure a famous victory and progress to the Play-Off Final at the Millennium Stadium to play Cheltenham. Over 24,000 saw Martin Devaney put the Robins ahead, quickly cancelled out by a Paul Hall wonder goal. It wasn't to be though as two further goals secured the win for Cheltenham to end Diamonds' promotion hopes after a strong season.

2002/03


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

2002/03

After going close the previous campaign, promotion was very high on the agenda as Diamonds looked to go one better in 2002/03. The new term began well with four wins, two draws and a defeat, whilst progress to the League Cup 2nd Round was made as Millwall were beaten at Nene Park 5–3 on penalties AET. Just 10 points were gained in the next eight league games, as the club hit an average run of form. Within this period Rushden suffered their heaviest ever defeat, with an 8–0 loss at the hands of Coventry City in the League Cup, as nine-man Diamonds were annihilated at Highfield Road. The LDV Vans Trophy was exited at the first hurdle with a 4–0 defeat away to Cambridge United. The club responded in style though with six straight league wins to get the promotion push well back on track. In the FA Cup 1st Round a 2–2 draw away to Kidderminster Harriers forced a replay, in which Diamonds won 2–1 to set up a trip to Exeter City in the next stage. A disappointing performance resulted in a 3–1 loss at St James Park, but one which meant they could now 'concentrate on the league'.


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

Although Rushden finished the year in the top-six, their form slightly tailed off over Christmas and in January, with Oxford United completing a league double over the team as eight games yielded only 12 points. In February and early March Diamonds won two, drew two and lost two and were sitting in an automatic promotion place. The club went on a barnstorming run with victories against Hull, Bury, Exeter City, Bristol Rovers and Lincoln City, alongside draws with Boston United and Rochdale. Diamonds had therefore completely caught up with leaders Hartlepool United who had been choking. Rushden & Diamonds secured their promotion to Division Two at Carlisle United, with a 2–1 win at Brunton Park, a result which sent them top of the league.Macclesfield Town meant a success at Leyton Orient would secure top spot. 1,240 Diamonds fans travelled to Brisbane Road in expectancy; however a 0–0 draw ensured a title showdown at Nene Park against Hartlepool on the final day. In front of a plus 6,200 crowd, and needing just a point, the home side went ahead in the first half through Paul Hall. As the game approached its conclusion a late Chris Westwood equaliser made for a nerve-racking finish. But Diamonds managed to hold on for the draw and thus seal the Division Three title in dramatic fashion by two points. The club had incredibly gone from the Southern League Midland Division to Division Two, the third tier of English football, in just 11 years.

2003/04

2003/04 was a difficult season for Rushden and Diamonds. The club's board and supporters were hopeful of another promotion challenge, and some promising results in the early part of the season suggested that this could be achieved. But a run of bad results during the winter saw the club slip down the table and in March 2004 Brian Talbot left the club after seven years as manager to take charge at Oldham Athletic.Barry Hunter, with no previous managerial experience, was appointed as the caretaker player-manager, but with the club needing to offload its top players to balance the books it continued to slide further down the Second Division table and they were relegated in 22nd place after losing their last game of the season.

2004/05


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

2004/05

Ernie Tippett was appointed as for the last three games of the 2003/04 season and for the start of the 2004/05 season.League Two, he left the club by mutual consent in January 2005.Barry Hunter became caretaker manager again, and although there were many applicants for the position, he was appointed full-time manager towards the end of the season. The club staved off relegation at the expense of Cambridge United and Kidderminster Harriers, but released several players at the conclusion of the campaign.

2005/06

In Summer 2005, Max Griggs handed over the club and certain assets to a supporters' trust, along with an initial cash pledge. He gave £750,000 to the newly founded supporters trust. "I feel very happy that I'm giving it to the right people", he said.Andy Burgess, David Bell, and John Dempster. However, the club continued to struggle and on 29 April, Rushden were relegated to the Conference after a 2–0 defeat at Boston United, which resulted in manager Barry Hunter being told his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season.

Conference

2006/07

Paul Hart took over as manager on 23 May and during the summer, Hart signed former Gillingham defender Chris Hope, Leo Fortune-West, Glenn Wilson, Paul Watson and Jon Ashton. However, following a poor run of results, Hart left by mutual consent in mid-October, with goalkeeping coach Tony Godden becoming caretaker manager.

Mid- and late-2006 saw a lot of changes at the club. In July Helen Thompson became chairman, in November the club was taken over by former Peterborough United vice-chairman Keith Cousins and in December Graham Westley was appointed as manager, with the aim of getting the club out of the relegation battle and build towards promotion back into the Football League. After a seven-game unbeaten run, which featured five wins and two draws, Graham Westley was relieved of his duties on 24 February 2007 for unknown reasons. Two days later it was announced that former Weymouth manager Garry Hill would be Westley's replacement. Hill's first match, on Saturday 3 March, was a 3–0 win over Exeter City. After this game, the club hit an average run of form, eventually finishing 12th in the table.

2007/08


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

2007/08

The club started 2007/08 with mixed fortunes, winning only five games in the opening eighteen,Aldershot. A mini-revival and an unbeaten run was enjoyed from 29 January to 12 March but that run was ended with a 2–1 loss versus Histon. The season ended with the club in 16th place.

However, while the league campaign was disappointing, the Diamonds performed better in the cup competitions. They reached the 2nd round of the 2007–08 FA Cup with a 5–0 win over Solihull Moors and a 3–1 win over league side Macclesfield Town. However, despite an early goal from Marcus Kelly, a 45-yard strike that was nominated by Match of the Day's Alan Shearer as "goal of the day" the Diamonds lost their second round tie with Bristol Rovers 5–1, in poor conditions.Conference League Cup losing out to Aldershot after a thrilling 3–3 draw resulted in a penalty shoot-out and the club were also knocked out of the FA Trophy in the Quarter-Finals.

2008/09

During the summer, Hill brought in a plethora of new faces; including former Lincoln City shot stopper Alan Marriott and former Cambridge midfielder Rob Wolleaston. Hill also brought to the club Dean McDonald, Lee Phillips, Sagi Burton, Jamie McGuiness, Gareth Jelleyman and Daryl Clare from Conference National rivals Burton Albion. Leon Knight was also later brought in, a major coup. On paper, and according to the bookies, Rushden were considered one of the best teams in the league, and were joint-favourites to win the Conference.

However, despite the influx of new players, Garry Hill's side failed to perform. By the end of October the club were in 12th. After losing to Evesham in the FA Cup, on a day the official site described as "one of the darkest" in their history

After nearly two years managing the club, manager Garry Hill resigned on Tuesday 10 February 2009 following a 3–0 defeat to Burton Albion, with Justin Edinburgh taking over as caretaker manager.Weymouth F.C. after their opponents fielded their youth team after their first team left, after not being paid.


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

Following Hill's resignation, the free management position was applied for by over 50 people, including ex-West Ham player Julian Dicks, as well as Rushden legends Duane Darby, Paul Hall and Paul Underwood. Justin Edinburgh, caretaker manager, was given the job until the end of the season. Within the space of a few games, Edinburgh breathed new life in the club as for the first time in years, the team began to play with an air of self-confidence and without fear. As well as a successful start to his RDFC managing career, (earning ten points from a possible fifteen in his first five games), the standard of play and the overall entertainment value rose dramatically, with several players rediscovering performances that some had not brought forth in years. A 1–0 win over rivals Kettering merely heightened this sense of relief and recovery. The season ended with a 3–1 win over already-relegated Woking FC. The result ensured their final position as 11th, their highest finish in a league table since the Division 3 title was won in 2003. The season also ended pleasantly with the knowledge that nearly 1,000 extra people had visited Nene Park that season for league games, seeing a rise in the average league attendance for the first time in years.

2009/10

The middle of 2009 saw Justin Edinburgh start the rebuilding of the squad. With only Curtis Osano as the only surviving player from last summers' squad numbers 1 to 11, and the addition of two loan signings from Nottingham Forest, the new look Rushden side did well in pre-season with a number of victories notably over MK Dons, Peterborough and Blackpool in the ERREA Cup. The season saw Rushden have an indifferent start. The club eventually picked up form however, and were well in the top ten for the majority of the season. Rushden reached the FA Cup Second Round, but lost away to Brighton 3–2 in November. The club finished in fourth place to make the Conference Play Offs. The first leg against Oxford United at Nene Park, ended in a 1–1 draw after a tight encounter, with Mark Byrne scoring for the Diamonds. In the return tie on May Day bank holiday however, a disappointing 2–0 defeat ensued for the Diamonds at the Kassam Stadium, to end their promotion chances. Within the 2009/2010 campaign, Rushden recorded their biggest ever home win 8–0 against Gateshead in front of 1,435 fans.


History of Rushden & Diamonds F.C.

2010/11

The new campaign would prove to be a thoroughly turbulent one in many respects for the club, and one which would culminate in its demise. A largely solid start to the season ensued with 27 points amassed from the first 16 matches. Then, in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round, Diamonds were drawn away to their fierce local rivals Kettering Town. Early goals from Lewwis Spence and Rene Howe (penalty) put the away side in firm control. They were reduced to ten men before the hour mark and although Paul Furlong pulled one back for the Poppies just afterwards, Rushden held on to secure a place in the next round and the local bragging rights.Yeovil Town ended any further progress in the competition. On 1 December Chairman Keith Cousins stepped down from his role and was replaced by Liam Beasant and Gary Calder. But much worse news was to follow in the coming weeks. On 14 December, hours before the FA Trophy tie away at Eastwood Town, the club received the news that their goalkeeper Dale Roberts had died. This understandably rocked everyone connected with the club, with the coroner recording a verdict of suicide days later.Hayes & Yeading United at the start of March heralded a downturn in fortunes as the club's form deteriorated rapidly, with just two wins from the last thirteen matches as the club staggered to a 13th-placed finish.


Pocatello Regional Transit

Pocatello Regional Transit (PRT) is the primary provider of mass transportation in Southeast Idaho and is a department within the City of Pocatello (Public Transit Department). Transit services being provided by PRT in Idaho Transportation District #5 have been greatly assisted by County and Municipal organizations, Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Residents & visitors within the service area are all eligible to ride and the welcome is extended to come & "TAKE YOUR SEAT" on the bus.

History

Privately operated rubber tired motorized Streetcar service was operated in the Pocatello area at least as early as World War I (Circa 1917), with that type of conveyance plying the streets between the city's downtown and The Academy (Now Idaho State University) and other locations. These early beginnings of public transit in Pocatello expanded to significant private public bus service in succeeding decades with the costs of capitalization and operations being met through inexpensive fares. Private automobile ownership was not what it is today and the bus services thrived. However, by the mid 1960s this situation began to change with most privately owned intra-city public bus services in the United States no longer financially sustainable. Pocatello's privately owned bus services pretty much went out of service before 1965 and there would be a period of some fifteen years before any regularly scheduled fixed-route public transit system would be seen on the streets of Pocatello.

Pocatello Regional Transit (PRT), as it is known today, originated with the South Eastern Idaho Community Action Agency's (SEICAA) creation of a targeted and limited door-to-door service for senior citizens in 1972. This one bus system, using an old surplus army vehicle, was known as Tello Bus. Throughout the 70's the service capability and area expanded to include senior bus service in Pocatello and some areas of Bannock County. Title IIIB, state senior citizen transportation funding along with Bannock County, City of Pocatello and SEICAA financial assistance represented the operational and capital foundation until 1978. This was also the year that the system was able to extend service to include persons with disabilities regardless of age.


Pocatello Regional Transit

Tello Bus became Urban Transit in 1980 (subsequently called Pocatello Urban Transit—PUT) with a loop opposed loop fixed route service for the general public added to its door-to-door services for seniors and persons with disabilities. In 1982, in an action responding to the 1980 census which made Pocatello a small urbanized area, the City of Pocatello assumed responsibility for the administration and operations of the transit system.

Also in the late 1970s and early 1980s, UMTA (Urban Mass Transportation Administration, later called FTA—Federal Transit Administration.) began to provide some funding assistance for rural public transit. This policy change greatly assisted the local transit system in making it possible to serve the broader general public needs in Pocatello and the rural areas. After 1982, when Pocatello became a small urban area, the funding assistance was separated for the small urban area and the rural areas of service. Pocatello Urban Transit (PUT) underwent a final name change in the late 1980s to the system name of Pocatello Regional Transit (PRT); reflecting its return to rural service, expanded urban fixed route service, and the inclusion of routes wholly serving the Idaho State University campus.

Even though It was always a financial challenge for PRT to survive and flourish without any dedicated state funding to assist the City and rural areas in the provision of public transit, the system continued to grow while carefully husbanding limited resources. This included the use of used vehicles for the fixed route until the first new buses were bought with Stripper Well funds match and UMTA funds in 1988. Thereafter, buses were able to be purchased including the acquisition of new 30' and 35' buses for fixed route service. Today, PRT operates nearly 30 buses throughout the service area, consisting fixed-route and demand-responsive routes. All routed buses and vehicles serving persons with disabilities have ADA accessible lift/ramp and features.


Pocatello Regional Transit

Acquiring and maintaining administrative and maintenance facilities has historically presented a challenge as well. The old Greyhound Building was used for many years as a transit downtown transfer and administrative facility as well as a (circa 1920's) garage on the East side that PRT shared with other city departments for a number of years—it has long since seen its best years. In an exciting development, thanks to FTA and the City of Pocatello, a project some six years in the making is about to come to fruition with the opening in July 2014 of new transit Administration and Maintenance facilities on South 5th.

Fixed Routes (Pocatello)

PRT offers multiple fixed route services throughout the cities of Pocatello/Chubbuck available to ALL general public. All routed buses include ADA features including accessible wheelchair lifts/ramps. These services are provided on a repetitive, fixed schedule basis along a specific route with vehicles stopping to pickup and deliver passengers to specific locations; each fixed route trip serves the same origins and destinations once an hour. Buses ONLY stop at designated stops (city ordinance). Free transfer tickets are available for passengers needing to access destinations that otherwise requires more than one bus route and must be requested at the time the fare is paid upon boarding.

PRT Commuter Bus

Commuter Routes

PRT's commuter routes operate on a faster schedule by not making as many stops as normal bus services and often taking quicker routes, such as along freeways. The fare on the commuter services vary and may be higher than normal parallel services, for the quicker service. PRT's current commuter routes consist of:

  * Aberbeen Commuter (Pocatello to Aberdeen via American Falls)
  * Blackfoot Commuter (Pocatello to Blackfoot)
  * Logan Commuter (Preston to Logan, UT)

Paratransit Services

PRT Paratransit Bus

PRT offers paratransit (door-to-door) services which is available to senior citizens 60+ years of age and also qualifying disabled passengers that are unable to, either temporarily or permanently, utilize the other transportation services provided by PRT. All buses include ADA features including accessible wheelchair lifts/ramps. Rural services are provided through intergovernmental agreements with county and municipal governments throughout the transportation district and include the following counties:

Japanese submarine I-122

This article is about the submarine launched in 1926 and originally numbered I-22. For the submarine I-22 launched in 1938, see Japanese submarine I-22 (1938).
"I-122" redirects here. For the isotope of iodine (I-122 or 122I), see Iodine-122.

I-122, laid down in 1925 as Submarine No. 49 and known as I-22 from her construction period until June 1938, was an I-121-class submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy that served during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. During the latter conflict, she conducted operations in support of the Japanese invasion of Malaya, the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the bombing of Darwin, the Battle of Midway, the Guadalcanal campaign, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, and the New Guinea campaign. From mid-1943 she served as a training ship in Japanese waters until she was sunk during a training voyage in 1945.

After she was renumbered I-122 in 1938, the number I-22 was assigned to a later submarine which also served during World War II.

Design

I-122 and her three sister ships — I-21 (later renumbered I-121), I-23 (later renumbered I-123), and I-24 (later renumbered I-124) — were the Imperial Japanese Navy's only submarine minelayers.Kirai Fusetsu Sensuikan (機雷敷設潜水艦, minelaying submarine), commonly shortened to "Kiraisen"-type submarine (機雷潜型潜水艦, Kiraisen-gata sensuikan).


Japanese submarine I-122

The Kiraisen-type design was based on that of the Imperial German Navy minelaying submarine SM UB-125, a Type UB III submarine which was the largest of seven German submarines transferred to Japan as a war reparation after World War I and served in the Imperial Japanese Navy as O-6 from 1920 to 1921.UB-125, the Kiraisen-type submarines had two diesel engines producing a combined 2,400 horsepower (1,790 kW), could carry 42 mines, and had four torpedo tubes and a single deck gun — a 5.5-inch (140 mm) gun on the Japanese submarines in contrast to a 5.9-inch (150 mm) gun on UB-125.10 feet (3 m) longer, and displacing 220 more tons on the surface and 300 more tons submerged — and had a longer range both on the surface — 970 nautical miles (1,800 km; 1,120 mi) farther at 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) — and submerged — 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) farther at 4.5 knots (8.3 km/h; 5.2 mph).0.2 knots (0.37 km/h; 0.23 mph) slower than UB-125 both surfaced and submerged, carried two fewer torpedoes, and had could dive to only 200 feet (61 m) compared to 250 feet (76 m) for UB-125.

Construction and commissioning

Built by Kawasaki at Kobe, Japan, I-122 was laid down on 28 February 1925 with the name Submarine No. 49,launched and renumbered I-22 on 8 November 1926,commissioned on 28 October 1928.

Service history

1928–1937

Upon commissioning, I-22 was assigned to either the Kure Naval DistrictYokosuka Naval District,Division 9 in the Yokosuka Defense Division in the Yokosuka Naval District.I-22 was decommissioned and placed in reserve at Kure.

Submarine Division 13 was reassigned directly to the Kure Naval District on 15 November 1933,I-22 was recommissioned and returned to active service in the division.I-22 was decommissioned and again placed in reserve,

I-22 again was recommissioned on 30 June 1936, rejoining Submarine Division 13 in the Kure sister ship I-24 had suffered damage to her main ballast tanks while I-23 and I-24 were conducting deep diving trials on 25 May 1935,class had their designed diving depth limited to 180 feet (55 m) in 1936.

Second Sino-Japanese War

On 7 July 1937 the first day of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident took place, beginning the Second Sino-Japanese War.I-22 and her sister ship I-21, moved to a base at Qingdao, China, and began operations in northern Chinese waters as part of a Japanese blockade of China.4th Fleet, a component of the Combined Fleet,light cruiser Kuma arrived at Qingdao to serve as flagship of Submarine Squadron 3, which consisted of I-21, I-22, I-23, and I-24.

I-21 and I-22 received orders to provide distant cover for Kuma while she put a Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF) unit ashore off Chefoo, China, on 3 February 1938, but both submarines experienced engine trouble that prevented them from getting underway to support Kuma.Port Arthur, Manchukuo, and each of them landed 15 Shanghai-based SNLF troops on Liukung Island in Weihai Bay before they returned to Port Arthur.

I-22 was renumbered I-122 on 1 June 1938,I-22, which was launched later that year.I-122 was placed in the Second Reserve in the Kure Naval District.

1939–1941

While in reserve, I-122 and all three of her sister ships — which, like her, had been renumbered on 1 June 1938, I-21 becoming I-121, I-23 becoming I-123, and I-24 becoming I-124 — underwent conversion into submarine tankers.aviation gasoline with which to refuel flying boats,lagoons for more fuel.

On 1 May 1940, I-122 returned to active service in Submarine Division 13,Pacific in company with I-121, I-123, and I-124:Sasebo, Japan, on 16 May 1940 and visited the waters of the Caroline Islands, Marshall Islands, and Mariana Islands before concluding their cruise with their arrival at Yokosuka, Japan, on 22 September 1940.

From 30 January to 4 February 1941, I-121 temporarily substituted for I-122 as flagship of Submarine Division 13 while I-122 was in reserve at Kure.6th Fleet.3rd Fleet.

As the Imperial Japanese Navy began to deploy in November 1941 in preparation for the impending conflict in the Pacific, I-122 arrived at Samah on Hainan Island in China in company with the submarine tender Chōgei on 27 November 1941.I-122 departed Samah along with I-121 to begin what would become her first war patrol.Mount Niitaka 1208" (Japanese: Niitakayama nobore 1208) from the Combined Fleet on 2 December 1941, indicating that the Pacific campaign against the Allies would commence on 8 December 1941 Japan time (7 December 1941 on the other side of the International Date Line in Hawaii, where the war would begin with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor).East Asia before the attack, I-122 laid forty-two Type 88 Mark 1 mines northeast of Singapore, then took up her patrol station off the eastern entrance of Johore Strait along with I-121.

Third war patrol

In company with I-121, I-122 departed Davao on 9 February 1942 to begin her third war patrol, with a primary mission of supporting an impending air attack on Port Darwin by planes from the aircraft carriers of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo′s Mobile Force and land-based aircraft from both Ambon and Kendari, Celebes.I-121 on 13 February 1942;I-121 headed south, I-122 proceeded southeast to patrol west of the Torres Strait, where she had orders to attack Allied shipping as well as serve as a picket to watch for Allied ship movements.an attack on Darwin's harbor, airfields, and urban center, followed by a raid by 55 Japanese land-based bombers.

On 24 February 1942, I-122 sighted an Allied patrol vessel at 06:00, then departed her patrol station at 12:00.Staring Bay on the Southeast Peninsula of Celebes just southeast of Kendari, where she and I-121 concluded their patrols on 28 February 1942 with a rendezvous with Chōgei, which had moved there from Davao.

March–May 1942

After replenishing and refueling, I-122 departed Staring Bay in company with I-121 on 10 March 1942 — the same day they were subordinated directly to the headquarters of the Combined Fleet — and headed for Japan.I-122 began a refit there.6th Fleet.

Midway operation

With her refit complete, I-122 departed Kure bound for Kwajalein on 13 May 1942, deploying to participate in Operation MI, the planned Japanese invasion of Midway Atoll.I-121 and I-123 to refuel two Kawanishi H8K (Allied reporting name "Emily") flying boats at the French Frigate Shoals in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands so that the two aircraft could conduct a reconnaissance flight over Pearl Harbor.I-122 was to patrol south of Pearl Harbor to rescue the crews of the aircraft if they were shot down, and the submarine I-171 was to operate east of the French Frigate Shoals to provide a radio beacon for the planes.I-123 arrived off the French Frigate Shoals in late May 1942, however, she found the U.S. Navy seaplane tenders USS Ballard (AVD-10) and USS Thornton (AVD-11) already operating flying boats there, and Operation K-2 was cancelled.


Japanese submarine I-122

The Battle of Midway began on 4 June 1942, and on 5 June 1942 I-122 reached a new patrol area to support the other Japanese forces involved in it.I-122 concluded her patrol with her arrival at Kwajalein in company with I-121 and I-123 on 25 June 1942.

Guadalcanal campaign

Toward the end of I-122′s stay at Yokosuka, Submarine Division 13 was resubordinated to Submarine Squadron 7 in the 8th Fleet on 14 July 1942.Truk from 24 to 31 July 1942 and arriving at Rabaul on New Britain on 4 August 1942.

Home waters

After arriving in Japan, the aging I-122 and I-121, by then considered obsolescent, were withdrawn from combat and assigned duty as training ships at Kure Naval Base.I-122 and I-121, was reassigned to the Kure Submarine Squadron in the Kure Naval DistrictI-153, I-154, and I-155,I-122 took part in submarine camouflage pattern experiments conducted by the Naval Submarine School in the Seto Inland Sea to determine a particular camouflage pattern's horizontal visibility and visibility from aircraft, the effectiveness of its color against the sea background, and its ability to confuse an observer as to a submarine's speed and course, as well as to test the durability of the paint used.

On 31 January 1944, I-122 and I-121 were reassigned to Submarine Division 19 in the Kure Guard SquadronI-155, I-156, I-157, I-158, I-159, I-162 and I-165 also were in the division.I-122 and I-121 were resubordinated to Submarine Division 33 in the Kure Submarine Squadron in the Kure Naval District.I-122 was drydocked at Maizuru, Japan, on 28 May 1945.

Loss

At 11:45 on 9 June 1945, I-122 got underway from Maizuru for a training cruise in Nanao Bay in the Sea of Japan, under the command of Lieutenant Mihara Sosaku.I-122 zigzagged on the surface in Nanao Bay at 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph) while returning to her base at Nanao, the American submarine USS Skate (SS-305) sighted her at 11:20.Skate fired four torpedoes at a range of 800 yards (730 m).I-122 amidships, and she sank quickly 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) southeast of Rokugo Misaki Lighthouse at 37°29′N 137°25′E / 37.483°N 137.417°E. Five minutes later, Skate′s crew heard the sounds of I-122 breaking up and saw a large air bubble reach the surface, followed by a great deal of oil.

Observers at the lighthouse witnessed the sinking of I-122, but the Japanese did not realize that American submarines had penetrated the defenses of the Sea of Japan and attributed her loss to the on-board explosion of her own torpedoes.Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm") floatplane arrived on the scene to search for survivors but found none;I-122 was lost with all hands.Skate sighted the floatplane, but it did not detect her.

I-122 was stricken from the Navy list on 15 September 1945.

Golden-hooded tanager

The golden-hooded tanager (Stilpnia larvata) is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder from southern Mexico south to western Ecuador.

Adult golden-hooded tanagers are 13 cm (5.1 in) long and weigh 19 g (0.67 oz). The adult male has a golden head with a black eyemask edged with violet blue above and below. The upperparts of the body are black apart from the turquoise shoulders, rump and edgings of the wings and tail. The flanks are blue and the central belly is white. Females have a greenish tinge to the head, sometimes with black speckling on the crown, and more extensively white underparts. Immatures are duller, with a green head, dark grey upperparts, off-white underparts, and little blue in the plumage.

The golden-hooded tanager's call is a sharp tsit and the song is a tuneless rattled series of tick sounds.

It resides from sea level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) altitude in the canopy of dense forests and semi-open areas like clearings, second growth and well-vegetated gardens.

Golden-hooded tanagers occur in pairs, family groups or as part of a mixed-species feeding flock. They eat certain small fruit (e.g. of Trophis racemosa (Moraceae))insects are also taken.

The cup nest is built in a tree fork or in a bunch of green bananas, and the normal clutch is two brown-blotched white eggs. This species is often double-brooded, and the young birds from the first clutch assist with feeding the second brood of chicks.

History of Rutland

The history of the English county of Rutland, located in the East Midlands. It was reconstituted as a district of Leicestershire in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. This district was given unitary authority status on 1 April 1997.

Early history

The north-western part of the county of Rutland was recorded as Rutland, a detached part of Nottinghamshire, in the Domesday Book; the south-eastern part as the wapentake of Wicelsea in Northamptonshire. It was first mentioned as a separate county in 1159, but as late as the 14th century it was referred to as the 'Soke of Rutland'.

In 1584 Uppingham School and Oakham School, two of the earliest public schools of England, were founded in Rutland with a hospital, or almshouse, by Archdeacon Robert Johnson. Both of the original school buildings remain standing.

Earl of Rutland and Duke of Rutland are titles in the peerage of England held in the Manners family, derived from the traditional county of Rutland. The Earl of Rutland was elevated to the status of Duke in 1703 and the titles were merged. The family seat is at Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire.

Modern history

A map of Rutland from Darton's New miniature atlas (1820)

The hundreds of Rutland

By the time of the 19th century it had been divided into the hundreds of Alstoe, East, Martinsley, Oakham and Wrandike.

Rutland covered parts of three poor law unions and rural sanitary districts (RSDs): those of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford. The registration county of Rutland contained the entirety of Oakham and Uppingham RSDs, which included several parishes in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire – the eastern part in Stamford RSD was included in the Lincolnshire registration county. Rutland gained its own county council by virtue of the Local Government Act 1888


History of Rutland

In 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 the rural sanitary districts were partitioned along county boundaries to form three rural districts. The part of Oakham and Uppingham RSDs in Rutland formed the Oakham Rural District and Uppingham Rural District, with the two parishes from Oakham RSD in Leicestershire becoming part of the Melton Mowbray Rural District, the 9 parishes of Uppingham RSD in Leicestershire becoming the Hallaton Rural District, and the 6 parishes of Uppingham RSD in Northamptonshire becoming Gretton Rural District. Meanwhile, that part of Stamford RSD in Rutland became the Ketton Rural District. Oakham was split out from Oakham Rural District in 1911 as an urban district.

The Local Government Boundary Commission (1945–1949) recommended merger with Leicestershire. Rutland was included in the "East Midlands General Review Area" of the 1958–1967 Local Government Commission for England. Draft recommendations would have seen Rutland split, with Ketton Rural District going along with Stamford to a new administrative county of Cambridgeshire, and the western part be added to Leicestershire. The final proposals were less radical and instead proposed that Rutland become a single rural district within the administrative county of Leicestershire.Local Government Act 1972, from 1 April 1974. Under proposals for non-metropolitan districts Rutland would have been paired with what now constitutes the Melton district – the revised and implemented proposals made Rutland a standalone non-metropolitan district (breaking the 40,000 minimum population barrier).

In 1994, the Local Government Commission for England, which was conducting a structural review of English local government, recommended that Rutland become a unitary authority. This was implemented on 1 April 1997, with Rutland regaining a separate Lieutenancy as well as its council regaining control of county functions such as education and social services. The council remained formally a non-metropolitan district council, with wards rather than electoral divisions, but has renamed the district to 'Rutland County Council' to allow it to use that name. This means the full legal name of the council is Rutland County Council District Council.

Pochade

For the village in India, see Pochade, Vikramgad.

A pochade (from French poche, pocket) is a type of sketch used in painting. As opposed to a croquis, which is line art, a pochade captures the colors and atmosphere of a scene.

Generally, pochades use a small, portable format. Robert Henri and James Wilson Morrice, for example, painted such sketches on small wood panels that would fit in a coat pocket along with oil paint tubes. Others artists, such as landscape painter John Constable, made pochades the size of the intended painting. The French artist Alphonse Chigot produced a series of pochades of the towns people of Valenciennes that he sold from his studio which were later collected and publish in two volumes.

Judith (homily)

Judith is a homily written by abbot Ælfric of Eynsham around the year 1000. It is extant in two manuscripts, a fairly complete version being found in Corpus Christi College Cambridge MS 303, and fragments in British Library MS Cotton Otho B.x, which came from the Cotton Library.

The homily is written in Old English alliterative prose. It is 452 verses long. The story paraphrases the Biblical original closely. Ælfric ends the homily with a detailed exegetical interpretation of the story, which he addresses to nuns.

In the first 190 lines, Ælfric introduces king Nebuchadnezzar and Holofernes, the leader of his army, whom he charges with conquering the land of the Jews. Holofernes complies and subdues most countries to the west of Assyria, except Bethulia, a Jewish town which resists the invader. At this point Judith is introduced.

As in the Bible, Judith is depicted as a wealthy, independent widow, who after the death of her husband has chosen to remain single and lead a clean and chaste life (lines 203-207).chastity (lines 391-394).nuns.

Ælfric also stresses Judith's eloquence. She talks her way into the Assyrian's camp (lines 237-241), she talks Holofernes into drinking too much and falling asleep (lines 248-277) and after she has beheaded Holofernes she motivates the Bethulians to fight (lines 312-354).
