Charlotte Medal

The Charlotte Medal

The Charlotte Medal is a silver medallion, 74 millimetres (2.9 in) in diameter, depicting the voyage of the convict transport Charlotte, with the First Fleet, to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Its obverse depicts the ship and the reverse is inscribed with a description of the journey. Struck by convict Thomas Barrett upon arriving in Botany Bay aboard Charlotte in January 1788, the medal is said to be the first work of Australian colonial art.first person to be executed in the new colony.

Creation

During the journey the Charlotte visited Rio de Janeiro. Whilst at anchor, one of the ship's convicts, a forger and mutineerThomas Barrett was caught giving locals fake coins made from buckles, buttons and spoons. The Surgeon-general of the Fleet, John White was impressed with his skill in making these forgeries, without having the apparent means to do so. This led him to commission Barrett to make the medal, to commemorate the journey, possibly from the surgeon's silver kidney dish.

Inscriptions

The obverse of the medal depicts the Charlotte at anchor at night in Botany Bay. The inscription reads

Owners and ANMM purchase

It is unknown who owned the medal after White. It is possible that he presented it with his voyage findings, or it stayed with his family after his death, but at some point before 1919 it came into the possession of Princess Victoria and Prince Louis.

In 1919 it was sold via Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge to a British numismatist, Henry Baldwin.

In 1967 it was sold to an American numismatist, John J Ford.

In 1981 it was sold to a Melbourne dentist, Dr John Chapman, for $15,000 at Spink Sydney Auction. Dr Chapman donated a medal containing a reproduction of the Charlotte Medal to Museum Victoria to mark its bicentennial, in 1988.

In 2008 the Australian National Maritime Museum, with funds from the National Cultural Heritage Account, authorised through the Australian Government, won an auction for the medal with a bid of $750,000.

This makes it possible that, despite its age, the medal has only been sold four times.

Copper medal

A smaller copper medallion, with a diameter of 47 millimetres (1.9 in), was created at the same time. The medal was made for White's personal servant, William Broughton and omits the ship scene, being inscribed simply with an abridged version of the journey.

Charlotte Meeting House

Exterior of the Charlotte Meeting House located at the Shelburne, Museum.

44°22′37.98″N 73°13′52.36″W / 44.3772167°N 73.2312111°W The Charlotte Meeting House was built in 1840 by the Methodist congregation of Charlotte, Vermont. In 1952 it was moved to the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont. It now serves as an exhibit building on the museum grounds.

History

The building was originally erected by the Charlotte Methodist Church in 1840, after their original wooden structure was destroyed in a fire in 1837.

By 1899 it had ceased to function as a church and was taken over by a group of thirteen young women who had formed an amateur theatrical group and used the building as a playhouse.

After a windstorm damaged the building in 1950, the association voted to sell it to the Shelburne Museum so that it could be preserved.belfry, pews, and pulpit, in an abandoned church in Milton, Vermont.see Trompe-l'œil).

Architecture

The structure reflects the stylistic tendencies established in the last decade of the 18th century when the church plan became the standard on which meeting houses were designed. The church plan refers to a rectangular structure with a pitched roof and incorporated bell tower, with the entrance located along the structure's short axis and the pulpit positioned opposite. Since the church plan and the word "church" connoted Anglicanism, Puritan communities used the term "meeting house" to refer to the building they used for both secular and religious meetings.

Puritans, and later Congregationalists, traditionally constructed their meeting houses on a square or rectangular plan with hipped roofs, a separate bell tower, and the entrance and pulpit situated on the long sides of the building. By the late eighteenth century, as communities began to distinguish between meeting houses and churches, Protestant communities adopted both the title "church" and the associated plan in designing their religious buildings.

The Meeting House's triangular pediment, accented with cornice moldings, reflects the pervasiveness of Greek Revival architecture in the mid-nineteenth century. The lack of other adornment, typical of the Greek Revival style, lent itself well to New England Protestant architecture.

She did race in high school but only in grades 8 to 10 before, returning to running while at Simon Fraser University in 1986, where she honed her running capabilities before embarking on her triathlon career.

Montgomery considered her triathlon career as a full-time "job", and thus competed in very few track races. She competed only once at 1,500m, six times at the 3,000m, six times at the 5,000m, and completed just nine 10,000m events.

She competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics. She did not finish the competition due to a crash on the bike leg. She was also selected to compete in the 10,000 meters on the track, but had to withdraw due to injury sustained in the triathlon crash.

Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Montgomery finished in 35th place with a time of 2:15:25.62.

City of Chaos

City of Chaos is a board game that was published by Monocle Games in 1996.

Gameplay

City of Chaos, designed by Martyn Oliver and Colin Thornton, combines a board game with elements of fantasy role-playing. The game is set in Byronitar, "City of Chaos", whose inhabitants are threatened by forces of entropy.

Purpose

The players must save the city from destruction.

Components

The following components are included:

  * tiles, which are added to the table one at a time to make up the map of the city
  * skull-head tokens
  * playing cards
  * a book titled "Tome of Chaos"
  * pewter miniatures

Play

When a player approaches the edge of a tile, the player lays a new tile down, and draws cards that represent the monsters, treasure and characters that inhabit that area of the city. The "Tome of Chaos" then provides a role-playing encounter keyed to that location, and the player must make choices based on the encounter, and solve puzzles that provide clues as to how to save the city.

Reception

In the July 1997 edition of Dragon (Issue #237), Rick Swan liked the game's attempt to mix board game and role-playing game, saying the game "redefines the genre, effortlessly infusing a clever set of board game mechanics with the rich characterizations and plot twists of an RPG." Swan concluded, "An English import, City of Chaos may be hard to find, but it’s worth the hunt."

The reviewer from Pyramid #28 (Nov./Dec., 1997) stated that "City of Chaos is unlike any other board game I have ever played. It combines loose and fast board game elements with roleplaying elements to create a unique experience."

In February 1958, a portrait of Young dressed in "pioneer garb," carved out of madrona wood, was installed at the Lane County Pioneer Museum. The piece was carved in 1936 by Art Clough and was designated as the Eugene Pioneer Kiwanis Inter-Club Trophy.

In 1976, Young's homestead was designated as a historic district. In 1979, plans were made to subdivide the homestead.

Eglinton Street railway station was a railway station approximately one mile (1.5 kilometres) south of Glasgow Central, in the Port Eglinton district of Glasgow.

History

Sources published in the late 20th century claim that this station opened on Sunday 28 February 1909,

When the station opened, on 1 July 1879, it allowed Caledonian Railway trains from Edinburgh and Lanarkshire, which had previously terminated at Southside to reach Bridge Street to connect with trains for Greenock and Wemyss Bay, with through carriages being provided from Edinburgh to stations on the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway and Greenock and Wemyss Bay Railway.

On 19 March 1883, there was a collision between two trains at Eglinton Street station in which four people died and many more were injured.

Opened by the Caledonian Railway on the former routes of the Cathcart District Railway and Polloc and Govan Railway on the southern approached to Glasgow Central, Eglinton Street station became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station was located in the routes to the:

  * Two platforms - Cathcart Circle, the Barrhead, East Kilbride and Kilmarnock lines
  * Four platforms - West Coast Main Line

The station was closed in 1965.

On the south side of the house is a full width porch, with a sleeping porch on the second floor. A pergola in the back leads to a detached two-car garage, which was built a couple of years after the house. The house and garage were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.


Eclipse-class cruiser

Not to be confused with Eclipse-class sloop.

The Eclipse-class cruisers were a class of nine second-class protected cruisers constructed for the Royal Navy in the mid-1890s.

Design and description

Right elevation, deck plan and hull section as depicted in Brassey's Naval Annual 1896

These ships were enlarged and improved versions of the preceding Astraea class. The Eclipse-class ships were 373 feet (113.7 m) long overall, had a beam of 53 feet 6 inches (16.31 m) and a draught of 20 feet 6 inches (6.2 m). They displaced 5,600 long tons (5,700 t) at normal load. To reduce biofouling, the hulls of the ships were sheathed with wood and copper. Their crew consisted of 450 officers and enlisted men. Their metacentric height was approximately 3 feet (0.9 m).

The Eclipse-class ships were powered by two inverted triple-expansion steam engines using steam generated by eight cylindrical boilers at a pressure of 155 psi (1,069 kPa; 11 kgf/cm2). Using normal draught, the boilers were intended to provide the engines with enough steam to generate 8,000 indicated horsepower (6,000 kW) and to reach a speed of 18.5 knots (34.3 km/h; 21.3 mph); using forced draft, the equivalent figures were 9,600 indicated horsepower (7,200 kW) and a speed of 19.5 knots (36.1 km/h; 22.4 mph). During their sea trials, all of the lightly loaded ships exceeded their specifications and reached a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph). They carried a maximum of 1,075 long tons (1,092 t) of coal.


Eclipse-class cruiser

The ships carried five 40-calibre 6-inch (152 mm) quick-firing (QF) guns in single mounts protected by gun shields. One gun was mounted on the forecastle, two on the quarterdeck and one pair was abreast the bridge.100-pound (45 kg) shells at a muzzle velocity of 2,205 ft/s (672 m/s).4.7-inch (120 mm) guns; three on each broadside. Their 45-pound (20.4 kg) shells were fired at a muzzle velocity of 2,125 ft/s (648 m/s).

Defense against torpedo boats was provided by eight QF 12-pounder 12 cwt47-millimetre (1.9 in) three-pounder Hotchkiss guns. Four of the 12-pounders were mounted in the sides of the hull fore and aft while the remaining four guns were interspersed between the 4.7-inch guns. The three-pounders were mounted in the fighting tops, three in each one.3-inch (76 mm), 12.5-pound (5.7 kg) projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 2,359 ft/s (719 m/s).18-inch torpedo tubes, one submerged tube on each broadside and one above water in the stern.

Between 1903 and 1905, all of the ships in the class except for Eclipse had their mixed armament replaced with a more uniform armament of eleven 6-inch, nine 12-pounders and seven 3-pounder guns.

The primary protection of the Eclipse class was its sloping armoured deck. This ranged in thickness from 1.5 to 3 inches (38 to 76 mm), with its slopes being 2.5 inches (64 mm) thick. It covered an area six inches above the waterline to 5 feet (1.5 m) below it. The engines were protected by a six-inch armoured hatch that extended above the armoured deck. The gun shields for the six-inch guns were three inches thick and the conning tower's armour was six inches thick.

Eclectochromis lobochilus is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is found in Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania. Its endemic to Lake Malawi.

This species is found along rocky shores and sometimes in the intermediate habitat between sandy and rock areas. It occurs at depths of 5–15 metres (16–49 ft). It feeds on invertebrates, mainly adult and larval in insects, that hide among aquatic vegetation or algae. The breeding males defend a cave among the rocks. The females mouthbrood the eggs and fry, guarding them after they have been released. This species is known as "Haplochromis Hertae" in the aquarium trade.

Bill Ebery

William Thomas Ebery (31 August 1925 – 10 May 2017) was an Australian politician.

He was born at Castlemaine, the son of grazier Francis Hamilton Ebery. He was a farmer and grazier in the Castlemaine area. On 17 February 1951 he married Anne Lorraine Evans; they had two children. In 1962 he joined the Liberal Party, becoming president of his local Newstead branch in 1973. In that year he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Midlands. With the abolition of his seat ahead of the 1985 state election, he unsuccessfully sought preselection for Bendigo East before ultimately contesting the Legislative Council seat of North Western, losing to the sitting National Party member.

Cala Forn

Cala Forn is a painting by Joaquim Sunyer currently exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

History

After a few years in Paris, where he was influenced by the French Post-Impressionists before adopting a language similar to Cézanne's, Sunyer returned to Catalonia, where he made his name as the leader of Noucentisme, an artistic movement that preached a return to classical models and upheld figurative art in opposition to the avant-garde movements. Cala Forn, one of Sunyer's and Noucentisme's most paradigmatic works, marked the peak of his creative development. With its great expressive power and feeling, the artist achieves perfect integration of the figures in the landscape, not limiting them to reproductions of everyday reality but turning them into symbols of the Catalonia of the time.


Cala Figuera

Harbour

Cala Figuera is a district of Santanyí on the island of Majorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain, around 60 km to the south east of Palma.

The traditional town was first mentioned in records in 1306 but it was not until the end of the 19th century that the first houses were built in the area. Cala Figuera encompasses a small traditional fishing community of 577 permanent residences which rises during the tourist season when owners of the many high price holiday villas and apartments descend on the town for the summer months.

The town of Cala Figuera stretches from high cliffs to the south of the town to the fishing harbour at the end of a Fjord-like inlet which holds some of the most picturesque traditional buildings in the whole of Majorca, as well as a number of millionaires' mansions overlooking the scenic harbour entrance.

Cala Figuera offers no tourist beaches or easily accessible swimming areas, as a result of which it remains largely untouched by mass tourism.

Even at the height of tourism in the town there were only a handful of medium-sized hotels, the largest of which (the 3 Star Hotel Cala Figuera) was torn down in 2006 to make way for 84 private apartments. Building started in May 2007.

The sheltered port area only caters for a small number of visiting yachts. The harbour is home to a small fleet of local fishing boats which are permitted, by exception, to fish the coastal areas of the Mondragó Natural Parc, a protected wildlife area.

Bremer River (South Australia)

The Bremer River, part of the lower Murray-Darling catchment, is a river that is located in the Adelaide Hills region in the Australian state of South Australia.

Course and features

The Bremer River rises on the eastern side of the Mount Lofty Ranges at an altitude of 431 metres (1,414 ft) AHD Mount Torrens and flows generally south, joined by the Mount Barker Creek and Dawesley Creek, before emptying into Lake Alexandrina at the lower end of the Murray-Darling basin.430 metres (1,410 ft) over its 88-kilometre (55 mi) course.

The largest town in the catchment area is Mount Barker. Other towns include Nairne and Kanmantoo. Towns on the Bremer River itself include Harrogate, Callington and Langhorne Creek, where the floodwaters are used to irrigate the local vineyards.

The river is crossed by the Old Princes Highway near Callington.

Etymology

One recorded Aboriginal name for the Bremer River was Miochi.Robert Cock, named it the Hindmarsh River, in deference to the first Governor, John Hindmarsh. This led to the following proclamation by the second Governor, George Gawler, appearing in the South Australian Gazette, effective 26 June 1839, ‘His Excellency the Governor having observed that to the southward [of Adelaide] there are two rivers named ‘The Hindmarsh’ – one flowing into Encounter Bay, and the other into Lake Alexandrina – is pleased to direct that the latter river shall in future be named the ‘River Bremer’, in the public maps, in order to avoid confusion in the geographical description of the province.’James Bremer, who happened to command HMS Alligator, which conveyed Hindmarsh back to England.

Bremer Marktplatz

Market square with town hall, cathedral and parliament building

Opposite view of the market square: Schütting and western side

The Bremer Marktplatz (Bremen Market Square) is a square situated in the centre of the Hanseatic City of Bremen. One of the oldest public squares in the city, it covers an area of 3,484 m2 (37,500 sq ft). It is no longer used as a market place except for the Christmas market and the annual Freimarkt Fair at the end of October.

History and development

Market square in 1641 by Matthäus Merian

Market place and its surroundings in 1796: Townhall red, archbishop's palace blue, Schütting olive, stock exchange (brown, 1614 to 1687 an uncovered area after the erasion of the shoe hall), general outline like in 1630, possible (red) and fiktive (green) views of Merian's depiction

Hanseatic Cross on the market

At least parts of the market place had been in function since the age of Charlemagne. Its southern side originally was the bank of river Balge (river), a branch of the Weser and Bremen's first port. There was an easy access for boats, but this section of the bank was too low for permanent buildings. From late 12th to late 13th century, the area of the market place was levelled and plastered in several stages. Theories that before the construction of the Bremen Town Hall in 1405 to 1410 all or only most of the market activities took place near Liebfrauenkirche have been falsified by archeological findings. Meantime with the townhall, Roland Statue was erected on the market square. Some time later, a stone wall was built between the inner and the outer areas of the square. The inner space was used for the market. A rule was made which allowed only merchants whose vehicles could pass one of the seven openings in the wall to sell their products. The city council made this rule in order to ensure that there was sufficient space for pedestrians between the market stalls.


Bremer Marktplatz

In the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century, the wall was removed and replaced by a circle of columns. At the same time, the market place lost its outstanding importance as a centre of trade and commerce even though it continued to be used as a market until mid 20th century. In 1836, the square was repaved with sandstone. Inside the circle of columns, darker stones depicted a wheel with 10 spokes. At centre of the wheel, reddish stones form a Hanseatic Cross. With a diameter of 4.8 m (16 ft), it commemorates the importance of the Hanseatic Legion during the Wars of Liberation (1813-1815). Between February and June 2002, the pavement was renewed without changing its historical layout.

Buildings

Compilation of photos taken from Merian's possible views

The building ensemble which flanks the Marktplatz is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany. In July 2004, the part consisting of the Roland Statue and the Town Hall was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sandstone and brick are uniformly used for the façades of the buildings.

Many objects of historical interest surround the Marktplatz. The entire complex is listed as a heritage site.

Elections to the Assembly of Representatives of Mandatory Palestine were held on 5 January 1931.Mapai emerged as the largest party, winning 27 of the 71 seats.

Electoral system

The Jewish National Council reduced the number of seats in the Assembly from 221 to 71, the same number of representatives in the ancient Great Sanhedrin. Voting was open to all naturalized Palestinian citizens who were registered as Jewish and at least 20 years old. To ensure that representation of Sephardic and Yemenite Jews would reflect their share of Palestine's Jewish population, the National Council agreed to a provision guaranteeing 17 seats to Sephardic and Yemenite candidates, irrespective of their placement on their respective parties' lists.Ashkenazi Jews could only vote for Ashkenazi lists, whilst Sephardic Jews and Yemenite Jews were similarly constrained.

Campaign

A total of 18 lists contested the elections,Agudat Yisrael in protest at women being allowed to vote and the Yishuv's approach to religious education and ritual slaughter.

Following the elections, the Assembly elected the 23-member Jewish National Council, with eleven elected from Mapai, four from the Sephardim Bloc, three from Mizrachi, three from the General Zionists and two from smaller parties.Revisionists refused to join the Council on the basis that the Assembly had refused to pass three resolutions it presented on not taking part in the Legislative Council, overturning the decision of the Jewish Agency to take part in a round table conference or to not send members to negotiate with the British government.


The 1998 Women's World Team Squash Championships were held in Stuttgart, Germany and took place from November 9 until November 15, 1998.
