David Bairstow

For the Canadian director, see David Bairstow (director).

David Leslie Bairstow (1 September 1951 – 5 January 1998) was an English cricketer, who played for Yorkshire and England as a wicket-keeper.football for his hometown club Bradford City.Jonny Bairstow.

Early life and education

Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Bairstow excelled at school in several sports, and he played football several times for Bradford City, but eventually he settled on cricket, and played his first county match against Gloucestershire in 1970 after taking an A-level at 6am to play.

Career

He played for Yorkshire throughout his career, and captained the club from 1984 to 1986,first-class cricket matches he scored 13,961 runs at an average of 26.44 with a highest score of 145. He snared 961 catches and 137 stumpings and perhaps stands second only to Jimmy Binks in the annals of Yorkshire wicket-keeping. He played 429 one day matches, scoring 5,439 runs at 20.68 with one century. Bairstow played for 21 seasons, three of them as club captain.

Bairstow was described by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as "perhaps the only unequivocally popular man in Yorkshire",John Player League in 1983 and the Benson and Hedges Cup in 1987.man of the match) to a narrow defeat in a Benson and Hedges Cup semi-final against Warwickshire in 1984.List A hundred, in the same competition in 1981, did however come in a victory in an extraordinary game against Derbyshire,Mark Johnson to give Yorkshire an improbable one-wicket win.


David Bairstow

He played only four Test matches for England,Bob Taylor and later Paul Downton in the selectors' minds. He made 59 (his highest Test score) on his debut,home county ground, top-scored in the first innings with 40 as England salvaged a draw against the West Indies after initially collapsing.One Day Internationals on the strength of his batting in domestic cricket – he made ten first-class centuries – but consistently failed to break through, and never scored more than 23 in his twenty ODI innings. A highlight of his international career came in a One Day International at Sydney Cricket Ground in 1980.Graham Stevenson walked out to join Bairstow at the crease with 35 wanted from six overs. "Evening, lad," said Bairstow. "We can piss this." Which they did, securing an England victory by two wickets.Wisden review of this tour observed: "England could not have been served better by their two wicket-keepers" (Bairstow and Taylor).

He played for Griqualand West, during the winters of 1976 and 1977, appearing rather surprisingly as a seam bowler on two occasions and taking 3–82 against Transvaal B.Richard Blakey was keeping wicket) against the MCC in 1987.

Bairstow appeared after retiring in a testimonial match at Trent Bridge for Derek Randall in 1993, playing for an England XI against an Australian XI, and was at the wicket (batting with Bob Taylor) when the match ended in a tie.

Retirement and death

After retirement from playing in 1990, Bairstow became a popular radio commentator. However, he engaged in arguments with the Yorkshire management, and also suffered from depression. In late 1997, Bairstow took an overdose of tablets, and although he survived, a few weeks later he hanged himself at his home in Marton-cum-Grafton, Yorkshire.coroner in the case recorded an open verdict, saying that he was not convinced Bairstow had meant to kill himself.

Family

Bairstow had two sons, both of whom went on to play cricket professionally. His son from his first marriage, Andrew, played first-class cricket fleetingly for Derbyshire. His son from his second marriage, Jonny, currently plays as wicket-keeper and batsman for both Yorkshire and England. Jonny's chosen squad number, 51, is a tribute to his father's birth year.

Charles Thomas Le Quesne

Charles Thomas Le Quesne (3 November 1885 – 22 November 1954), was a Jersey born, British Liberal Party politician and barrister.

Background

He was born in Saint Helier, Jersey, the son of Charles John Le Quesne. He was educated at Victoria College, Jersey and Exeter College, Oxford where he received a 1st class Honors in Mods in 1906 and a 1st class in Lit. Hum. in 1908. He married Eileen Gould. They had four sons and one daughter.

Legal career

He was called to the bar, at Inner Temple, in 1912. He took silk, becoming a King's Counsel in 1925.Lieutenant Bailiff. Up to this point, the Royal Court's judgments were in the French style of jugements motivés, written in French by the Greffier rather than the judge, and expressing the reasons for the court's decision only very briefly. Le Quesne changed the language of judgments to English and adopted the common law style of judgments, where the judge gives detailed reasons for accepting or rejecting the rival submissions made at trial by counsel.

Political career

In 1908 he was President of the Oxford Union.Hemel Hempstead Division of Hertfordshire at the 1929 General Election;

Thomas Brown Anderson

Thomas Brown Anderson (June 1796 – May 28, 1873) was a Canadian merchant, banker, and philanthropist who was director, vice-president (1847–1860) and 6th president of the Bank of Montreal (1860–1869), Member of the Special Council of Lower Canada (April–June 1838) and Vice-president of the Montreal Board of Trade (1849).

Early life

Anderson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in June 1796. Little is recorded of Anderson's early life but it is understood that he arrived in Montreal, Canada during 1827. On his arrival in Montreal, his first job was as a clerk for a commercial firm (Forsyth, Richardson and Company of Montreal) engaged in a co-partnership with Forsyth, Walker and Company of Quebec.

The firm's main business concerns were in fur trading, clothing, wholesaling provisions, local real estate, being an acting agent for the East India Company's Canadian agent, and serving as the financial repository for the Receiver General's Department of Lower Canada.

Companies (1827–1861)

Forsyth, Richardson and Company (1827–1847)

Anderson's marriage to Ann Richardson, the daughter of John Richardson (the senior partner at Forsyth, Richardson and Company) undoubtedly helped in any nepotistic opportunities for him with the firm; and Anderson ended up becoming the company's last president.

In 1847, Forsyth, Richardson and Company faced a calamity from which it would not recover: the firm suffered a massive capital pull-out from its shareholders. As president, Anderson led the company through the eventual dissolution of its co-partnership with Forsyth, Walker and Company.

Anderson, Auldjo and Company (1847–1852)

With the old Company dissolved, the Montreal business was reorganized and renamed as Anderson, Auldjo and Company. Anderson was the senior partner and the others—Louis Auldjo, William Evans, and Thomas Forsyth—were clerks from the old firm.

Anderson, Evans and Company (1852–1858)

When Louis Auldjo departed the company to start his own in 1852, the result was another reorganization and renaming of the firm as Anderson, Evans and Company, hardware merchants and importers.

Thomas Brown Anderson

Anderson, Evans and Evans (1858–1861)

The addition of new partners, Samuel Evans and Thomas Evans, entailed another reorganization and renaming of the company in 1858 as Anderson, Evans and Evans. This partnership was finally dissolved in 1861 when Anderson decided to focus on banking.

Director (1830–1869)

Anderson served as a director of the Bank of Montreal (1830–34)—a position procured by being the son-in-law of one of the bank's more important founders and shareholders. He re-engaged himself as a director of the bank in 1835 and served until his retirement in 1869. During an exchange crisis in Canada in 1837, Anderson was an active member of the director's committee in deciding the bank's policies.

In 1840, Anderson supported the expansion of the bank's operations into Upper Canada, a move that was captained by the bank's then president, Peter McGill. In 1841, Anderson represented the bank before Canada's Legislative Assembly's Committee on Money and Banking. Anderson presented arguments for new legislation that would allow and support for more branch banking to be accessible in Canada.

Vice President (1847–1860)

On Joseph Masson's retirement as vice president of the bank, on June 8, 1847, Anderson was elected as his successor. On June 5, 1860, Anderson was unanimously elected to succeed Peter McGill as the sixth president of the Bank of Montreal.

President (1860–1869)

Despite being viewed as "one of the old race of Canadian Merchants", Anderson—during his presidency—ensured, through his reorganization, that the bank adapted to the evolving economic and political environments: economically, Canada was moving from a mercantile to a more sophisticated and corporate system.


Thomas Brown Anderson

Anderson was a member of the board of directors representing Canada for the Liverpool, London Fire and Life Insurance Company (1855–73) and served as chairman (1855–72) and this experience led him to open opportunities up for the Bank of Montreal: he allowed branch the bank's managers to offer insurance products and other corporate interests.

In 1862, Anderson created the position of "general manager" and chose the Scottish banker, David Davidson (1862–63), who was succeeded by the Irish banker Edwin Henry King (1863). King proved a shrewd, competent, and skillful general manager and would later succeed Anderson as the bank's 7th president.

During the American Civil War, the bank was able to profit greatly from the situation: King's knowledge of the American money market combined with the union's constant need for more financial credit and the bank's ready access to English gold, meant that the bank was able to exploit the war to its advantage.

In November 1863, the bank acquired the account for the Government of Canada from its failing rival, The Bank of Upper Canada, which was in severe decline, and the bank began to use the influence that came with managing the government's financial account.

In 1866, the bank used their influence to promote legislation which enabled banks to take government debentures and species and convert them into provincial notes (a law that was especially advantageous to banks who dealt with government accounts) and the legislation was enacted.

In 1867, King persuaded the first prime minister of Canada, John Alexander MacDonald, not to assist the Bank of Montreal's failing rival Commercial Bank of the Midland District (contrary to the advice from his own minister of finance, Alexander Tilloch Galt). This led to the failure of the bank which was one of Canada's most powerful institutions.

Though Anderson's annual reports were cautious, the bank thrived during the 1860s: deposits tripled in 9 years, which was mainly due to the flight of assets and capital to Canada during the American Civil War. Gold, silver, and coin holdings had also increased with the addition of government debentures making the institution more stable than ever before. Anderson retired as president in 1869 due to his deteriorating health, and the bank's board of directors awarded him a stipend of $2000 for his service.

Special Council for Lower Canada (1838)


Thomas Brown Anderson

Special Council for Lower Canada (1838)

Although he was a prominent merchant and a devoted "Tory", Anderson was mostly inactive in local and provincial politics in Canada.Member of the Special Council of Lower Canada by the then Governor General of British North America (also Lieutenant-Governor of Lower Canada), Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford and Sir John Colbourn. Anderson would only hold this position until June 1, 1838, when he and several others were removed during a reorganization by the new governor, John Lambton, Earl of Durham.

In 1849, Anderson had joined the Montreal Annexation Association, became one of the eight vice-presidents of the association and eventually was one of the signers of the Annexation Manifesto in 1849.

Other Activities

Along with his political aspirations and vocations, Anderson also supported and was involved with a number of charitable, civic, and other organizations.

Montreal Board of Trade (1829–1850)

In 1829, Anderson joined the executive committee of the newly organized Montreal Committee of Trade (later the Montreal Board of Trade) and was later elected vice-president (1849) also serving on the board's executive council and Board of Arbitration (1842–50).

McGill University (1845–1873)

Anderson was also a member of the board of governors for McGill University from May 2, 1845, until his death. During this time, he donated generously to facilities and served on multiple committees concerning the university's affairs. He served as vice-chairman of the board of governors (1851–52) and then as the first member of the university's finance committee.

Montreal General Hospital

Anderson was treasurer of the Montreal General Hospital, an institution to which his father-in-law, John Richardson, had contributed greatly. Anderson also supported the Longueuil Mission. His wife, Ann Anderson, was an active supporter of multiple organizations including the Lying-in Hospital Society and the Ladies Benevolent Society (which her mother had reorganized in 1832).

Religious interests


Thomas Brown Anderson

Religious interests

Although Anderson was of strict Anglican faith, he had a reserved pew at St Gabriel Street Presbyterian Church, Montreal. This reserved pew was more of a social inclination rather than a spiritual one: most Scottish merchants in Montreal attended this church, so it is easy to discern that Anderson's regular attendance was a status issue. Anderson also attended his proper Anglican obligations, he attended Christ Church, Montreal, and was later a member of the congregation of St James the Apostle, Montreal.

Anderson died on May 28, 1873, and was buried in the Anglican parish of St James the Apostle, Montreal on May 31, 1873.

Family

At Christ Church, Montreal, on 12 December 1827, Anderson married Ann Richardson (1797–1880) the widow of David Ogden (1772–1823) and daughter of John Richardson (c.1754–1831) and his wife Sarah Ann Grant (1773–1847), the grandniece of William Grant (1744–1805). Thomas and Ann Anderson had one daughter, Elizabeth Magdalene Anderson, who later married Lt-Col. Joseph Bell Forsyth (the son of James Bell Forsyth, and grand nephew of John Forsyth).

2007 WGC-CA Championship

The 2007 WGC-CA Championship was a golf tournament that was contested from March 22–25 over the Blue Monster Course at Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Florida. It was the eighth WGC-CA Championship tournament, and the second of three World Golf Championships events held in 2007. It was the first tournament under the sponsorship of CA, Inc. and took the place of the Ford Championship at Doral on the PGA Tour schedule.

World number 1 Tiger Woods was the two-time defending champion and won the tournament to capture his third consecutive and sixth overall WGC-CA Championship and his 13th World Golf Championships title. This was the second time Woods captured three consecutive titles at the same WCG event (he also won NEC Invitational from 1999−2001). Later in 2007, Woods would win a third consecutive WGC-Bridgestone Invitational title (formerly known as the NEC Invitational). Geoff Ogilvy and Dustin Johnson are the only other players in WGC history to win at least three WGC titles.

Charles Thomas Marvin (1854–1890), writer on Russia.

Marvin was born at Plumstead, Kent, in 1854. In 1868 he was employed in a warehouse in Watling Street, London. At the age of sixteen he went to Russia to join his father, who was assistant-manager of an engineering works on the Neva. He remained in Russia for six years (1870–6) and acquired a good knowledge of the Russian language. For eighteen months he was the correspondent of The Globe and Traveller at Saint Petersburg. Returning to London, on 10 January 1876, after passing the civil service examination, he was appointed as a temporary writer at the Custom House. In May that year he was transferred to the Inland Revenue at Somerset House and then to the Post Office; he later returned to the Custom House. On 16 July 1877 he entered the Foreign Office as a copying clerk. On 29 May 1878 he was employed to make a copy of a secret treaty with Russia, the "Anglo Russian Convention of 30th May 1878". The same evening he supplied The Globe and Traveller with a from memory summary of the treaty. On 1 June Lord Salisbury, the then Foreign Secretary, faced with the alternative of admitting the secret deal,House of Lords that this summary was "wholly unworthy of their lordships' confidence". On 14 June The Globe printed a complete text of the treaty which Marvin had again provided from memory.

On 26 June Marvin was arrested, but was released on 16 July after it was found that he had committed no offence known to English law. His actions prompted a tightening of internal regulations that eventually led to the enactment in 1889 of Britain's first Official Secrets legislation.

In 1878 Marvin published Our Public Offices, Embodying an Account of the Disclosure of the Anglo-Russian Agreement, and the Unrevealed Secret Treaty of 31 May 1878. During the Russo-Turkish war in 1878 he contributed to twenty publications.


Charles Thomas Marvin

In 1880 he published his first book on the Russo-Indian question, The Eye-witnesses' Account of the Disastrous Campaign against the Akhal Tekke Turcomans, which was adopted by the Russian government for the military libraries and commended by General Mikhail Skobelev. In 1881 he printed Merv the Queen of the World and the Scourge of the Man-stealing Turcomans. With an Exposition on the Khorassan Question, in which he predicted that the next Russian advance would be pushed to Panjdeh. In 1882 he was sent to Russia by Joseph Cowen, M.P., to interview the principal generals and statesmen on the Russo-Indian question. On his return he wrote The Russian Advance towards India: Conversations with Skobeleff, Ignatieff, and other Russian Generals and Statesmen on the Central Asian Question. The following year he proceeded to Caucasus and explored the Russian petroleum region.

The Love Cats (song)

"The Love Cats" (sometimes rendered as "The Lovecats") is a song by English rock band the Cure, released as a stand-alone single in October 1983.

It was the band's first Top 10 hit in the UK, peaking at number 7.compilation album Japanese Whispers, released in December 1983.

Inspiration and recording

At the time the song was written, Robert Smith was very interested in the work of Australian author Patrick White.The Vivisector (1970), although this claim is difficult to verify.

The recording session took place in Paris at Studio Des Dames after the band had played a one-off concert in the west of France, in Brittany, in the commune of Saint-Jacut-les-Pins in August 1983. The band recorded other songs there also in jazz rock style, "Speak My Language" and "Mr. Pink Eyes": both ended up on the b-side of the 12-inch vinyl. A fourth track ("A Hand Inside My Mouth (Des Dames Studio Demo 8/83)") also recorded in the same session, surfaced in 2006 on The Top deluxe CD reissue.

Music video

The music video features a number of cats and a large lampshade falling on the head of bassist Phil Thornalley. There are many shots of a mansion which the band told a vendor they were interested in buying. They returned the keys in the morning.

Tyne Stop Line

The Tyne Stop Line, which ran from the Rede Valley in Northumberland to Newcastle upon Tyne, formed part of the defences constructed to meet the threat of a Nazi invasion during World War II. Part of a network of such features, the Tyne Stop Line formed what would have been the principal defensive front for North East England against any attack coming from the north.

In the event of invasion, the intention was that the advancing German forces would have been held up at the Coquet Stop Line 30 miles to the north in Northumberland, enabling the British GHQ field army to take up positions on the Tyne. In the event of the Tyne line being overwhelmed, defending forces were to withdraw to the Derwent Stop Line, 10 miles or so to the south.

Tyne Stop Line defensive plan

As soon as an invasion was confirmed, members of the 280th Field Company, Royal Engineers (based in Yorkshire), would rapidly advance north via Durham, Leadgate, Ebchester and Hexham and blow up more than 100 road, rail and foot bridges on the Tyne from the Rede Valley to Scotswood. The holes for the charges were already drilled (and the traces of many can still be seen to this day). Road approaches were to be mined and blocked by craters. The major bridges at Newcastle were to be mined but not blown up until the last minute; this was to enable any withdrawal of British forces southwards. One exception was the Swing Bridge, which was to be disabled.


Tyne Stop Line

Militarily Tyneside itself would be divided into eighteen districts, each with its own detailed plan of action. Beaufront Castle, between Hexham and Corbridge, was designated as the regional HQ. Industrialists met with the Regional Commissioner and the Military to arrange a scorched earth plan for Tyneside's major industries. Each was given a code word and, on receipt of their particular word, all machinery in their premises would be disabled by removing essential parts. Other signals, such as the ringing of church bells, would activate other plans: makeshift road blocks would appear all over Tyneside, in Newcastle itself at the West Road, Nuns Moor Road, Fenham Hall Drive, Shields Road, Walker Road, Heaton Road and Chillingham Road, for example; electricity would be cut by exploding charges at nodal points on the network; L.N.E.R. locomotives would disappear along country lines south of the Tyne (such as the Victoria Garesfield branch line) and then be disabled; on the Tyne and along the coast docks would be blocked and machinery disabled; fuel stores would be destroyed; the ferry landings at North and South Shields would be blown up and the ferries scuttled; and all major explosive and ammunition dumps would have their stocks either blown up or otherwise destroyed.

A network of local HQs and supply stores were set up at locations such as Manors Railway Station, the Royal Grammar School and the Newcastle Co-op premises on Newgate Street.
