10 cm Nebelwerfer 40

The 10 cm Nebelwerfer 40 (10 cm NbW 40) was a heavy mortar used by Germany during the Second World War. Much like the American M2 4.2 inch mortar it was intended to deliver chemical munitions, such as gas and smoke shells, as well as ordinary high-explosive shells. It was derived from Rheinmetall's Nebelwerfer 51 and 52 prototypes of the late 1930s which were attempts to develop a more accurate and longer-ranged mortar than the 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35. The NbW 40 is one of the better examples of German overengineering since it fired a slightly heavier bomb over twice as far as the NbW 35, but weighed almost eight times more than the earlier model.

It was an innovative breech-loading design with the wheels permanently attached to the carriage, from which it was fired, and which wasn't disassembled for transport. It replaced the NbW 35 in (German: Nebelwerfer "smoke-mortar") battalions belonging to the Chemical Corps of the Heer; exactly how the American fielded their own M2s in chemical mortar battalions. It was replaced by the 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 multiple rocket launcher from 1941.

Operational use

They began to replace the 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35 mortars from late 1941 in the Nebelwerfer battalions, and were used by Gebirgs-Werfer-Abteilung (Mountain Mortar Battalion) 10 plus the first battalion of the Nebel-Lehr Regiment (Demonstration Regiment) and saw service in the North Africa, Finland and Russia.

Ski Air Mix

Ski Air Mix (スキーエルーミックス) is an alpine skiing video game released on the PlayStation that was developed and published by KID in Japan. It was published by Midas Interactive Entertainment in Europe two years later and sold as a "budget" title.

Gameplay

Typical view. Skier's speed and altitude are shown along with player's air points, personal records and time left.

The player takes control of one of four different skier models. Two male and two female models are available. Each model can be equipped with one of 11 different pairs of skis, each with their own statistics including Max Speed, Performance, Stability and Response. Then the player can ski on five different international slopes which include Italy, Austria, Japan, Switzerland and Canada in order of increasing difficulty. The game offers two modes, Alpen mode, which is single player and has the player racing against the clock, and Versus mode, which allows two players to compete on the same slope.

During a game, the player races downhill to the finish line before the clock runs out. Along the way there are jump points where the skier can pull off stunts and moves in mid-air, which grants the player Air Points upon successfully landing. Winding paths, gaps and slopes of varying steepness provide a constant challenge to the skiers as they travel to the finish line. Each slope is divided into three sectors, and each one is timed differently with different counters for Air Points.

The player wins a game by reaching the finish line before time runs out. Upon finishing a slope, the player has the option to view a replay of the run and then reaches a Results screen, which reports the time taken to complete each sector of the slope along with how many Air Points were attained in each one with a total. The player is then brought to a rankings screen which shows the best runs of the slope the player originally picked to play on. An option is also given to save a ghost replay of the run or, in case one already exists, to update it.

Svetlana Beriosova

Svetlana Beriosova at the press conference at Hilton Amsterdam in June 1964

Svetlana Nikolayevna Beriosova (Russian: Светла́на Никола́евна Берёзова; 24 September 1932 – 10 November 1998),Beriozova or Beryozova, was a Lithuanian-British prima ballerina who danced with The Royal Ballet for more than 20 years.

Early life

Beriosova was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, the daughter of Nicolas Beriosoff (or Nicolas Beriozoff; 1906–1996), a Lithuanian ballet master.Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Alicia Markova; he founded the Zurich Opera Ballet School.

Career

Beriosova made her professional debut in 1947 with Nesta Toumine's Ottawa Ballet.Grand Ballet de Monte Carlo and the Metropolitan Ballet, she joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet,

Notable among her leading roles there was Swanilda in Coppélia, which allowed her to showcase her rarely used comic talent. She was better known for her eloquent and elegant classical style, which was highlighted in the many leading roles she created, such as Princess Belle Rose in John Cranko's The Prince of the Pagodas (1957), the Fairy in Kenneth MacMillan's Le Baiser de la fée (The Fairy's Kiss, 1960), and Lady Elgar in Frederick Ashton's Enigma Variations (1968). She also danced such traditional classical roles as Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, and the title role in Giselle.

As well as dancing the entire classical repertoire, Beriosova created the leading part in several modern ballets, notably the title role in Cranko's Antigone (1959). In one of her more unusual modern parts, the title role of Ashton's Persephone (1961), she recited André Gide's poetry in French in addition to dancing to the music of Igor Stravinsky.


Svetlana Beriosova

Although its effects were not immediately apparent, Beriosova's career began its downturn in 1962, when Rudolf Nureyev came to England and it was widely understood that the dancer chosen to become his partner would "achieve worldwide fame overnight". Beriosova, at 5'8", was the same height as Nureyev, and would have been far taller en pointe, so Margot Fonteyn, who had left the stage, returned to be his partner. The performances were received rapturously and earned glowing reviews, but it was expected that Fonteyn would only dance for a year or two, and Beriosova retained international popularity and a "huge following of fans". However, in the years that followed, it became clear that Beriosova would not achieve the premier status widely considered to have been her destiny; by 1966, Fonteyn's firmly-established dominance and the lack of opportunity this afforded Beriosova coupled with the disintegration of her marriage led to the beginning of Beriosova's "precipitous" "downward spiral", although she continued to dance in major productions for some time.Anastasia at Covent Garden ended in Beriosova's drunken collapse whilst en pointe on stage, and she was carried off; her contract was terminated and her career with the Royal Ballet was over.Maina Gielgud's Steps, Notes and Squeaks in 1978 and 1980.

Personal life

Beriosova married the psychoanalyst Masud Khan on January 23, 1959, and they divorced in 1974 after 15 years;

She was a close friend of actress/singer Julie Andrews, and was the godmother to scenic designer/theatre director Tony Walton's daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.


Svetlana Beriosova

Beriosova died from cancer, aged 66, in Kensington, London in 1998. She was survived by her stepmother, Doris Beriozoff.Financial Times, the eminent ballet critic Clement Crisp wrote that Beriosova was "a ballerina of serene physical beauty and of no less lovely temperament", with "pearl-like radiance", and that to all of her performances she "brought a generous and illuminating sensibility" and was "in everything a ballerina whose understanding of her art and command of its nuances went to the very core of any role she assumed", concluding her to have been "blessed with an extraordinary ability to tell the great truths about theatrical dancing with a heart-stopping sensitivity and dignity".

Catholic Child Welfare Society v Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools [2012] UKSC 56 is an English tort law case, concerning enterprise liability.

Facts

A group action of 170 claimants had successfully claimed that between 1958 and 1992 they were sexually abused by Brother James Carragher, and various others, at the St William’s school. The Catholic Child Welfare Society (CCWS, a charitable company, referred to as the ‘Middlesbrough defendants’) supplied the teachers and managed the school directly. The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (IBCS), an unincorporated association, also controlled where its ‘Brothers’ taught.

The Court of Appeal found that the CCWS was liable, but the IBCS was not jointly liable. CCWS appealed, contending that IBCS should also be vicariously liable.

Judgment

The Supreme Court found the IBCS was jointly liable because it formed part of the whole.

64. Bazley v Currie (1999) 174 DLR (4th) 45 was one of two decisions involving child abuse given by the Supreme Court of Canada on the same day. A not-for-profit organisation, D2, ran two residential care facilities for the treatment of emotionally troubled children. They unwittingly employed a paedophile, D1, who sexually abused one of the children in the home. The court, in a judgment delivered by McLachlin J, held D2 vicariously liable for the abuse. The issue related to stage 2. Could acts of sexual abuse properly be the subject of vicarious liability and, if so, on what basis? The court held that this question should be directly addressed in the light of considerations of policy. Two particular principles of policy were identified. The first was that where an employer puts into the community an enterprise carrying with it certain risks and those risks materialise and cause injury it is fair that, having created the enterprise and the risk, the employer should bear the loss. The second was that holding the employer vicariously liable might have a deterrent effect, causing employers to exercise a greater degree of care in relation to the appointment and supervision of employees. So far as the legal test of liability was concerned, para 42 of the judgment summarised the position as follows:


"…there must be a strong connection between what the employer was asking the employee to do (the risk created by the employer's enterprise) and the wrongful act. It must be possible to say that the employer significantly increased the risk of the harm by putting the employee in his or her position and requiring him to perform the assigned tasks."

65. Markesinis and Deakin's Tort Law, 6th ed (2007) describe this as the "enterprise risk" approach.

...

75. In Dubai Aluminium Co Ltd v Salaam [2002] UKHL 48; [2003] 2 AC 366 the relevant issue was whether dishonest conduct by a solicitor could involve the fi rm in liability under section 10 of the Partnership Act 1890 as having been carried on “ in the ordinary course of the business of the fi rm ” . Giving the leading speech Lord Nicholls held that it was necessary to apply the legal policy underlying vicarious liability, which he stated at para 21:

“is based on the recognition that carrying on a business enterprise necessarily involves risks to others. It involves the risk that others will be harmed by wrongful acts committed by the agents through whom the business is carried on. When those risks ripen into loss, it is just that the business should be responsible for compensating the person who has been wronged.”

76. This has strong echoes of the “ enterprise risk ” approach of the Canadian Supreme Court and, indeed, Lord Nicholls went on at para 23 to cite with approval from the judgment of McLachlin CJ in Bazley.

Tuscumbia (YTB-762)

For other ships with the same name, see USS Tuscumbia.

Tuscumbia (YTB-762) was a United States Navy Natick-class large harbor tug. The second ship to bear the name, Tuscumbia was named for the town of Tuscumbia, Alabama, which had been named for a Cherokee chief.

Construction

The contract for Tuscumbia was awarded 14 October 1960. She was laid down on 16 February 1961 at Slidell, Louisiana by Southern Shipbuilding Corporation 22 August 1961.

Operational history

Tuscumbia served in the Pacific Ocean, initially at San Diego, California, attached to the 11th Naval District, until shifted to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to operate in the 14th Naval District providing the necessary tug and tow services to support the U.S. Pacific Fleet from 1963 to and into 1978.

Tuscumbia is clearly visible in the closing scenes of the movie Down Periscope released in March 1996. According to IMDB, most of the harbor footage was shot in San Francisco, so there is a visual record of her in that location at that time.

Stricken from the Navy List, date unknown though likely sometime in 1995, ex-Tuscumbia was transferred to the Maritime Administration 11 September 1995. At some point, Atoll Institute was in negotiation with MARAD to acquire ex-Tuscumbia for conversion to R/V PERL.

Tusey

The château of the foundry

The borne d'Empire as it appears today

Tusey-produced fountain at Void-Vacon

Tusey (also spelled Tuzey or Touzy) is today a hamlet of Vaucouleurs on the Meuse. It is first mentioned in documents of 859–65 as Tusey-sur-Meuse (Tusiacum super Mosam or Mosellam). From 22 October to 7 November 860 a church council was held there under King Charles the Bald. There was a royal palace at nearby Vaucouleurs. The importance of Tusey declined during the Middle Ages.

A large cut stone, about one metre square, known locally as the borne d'Empire, "bollard of the Empire", is probably a boundary marker placed at the site of the 1299 meeting in a then forested area (since named Quatre-Vaux) between Philip IV of France and Albert I of Germany – the so-called meeting of the Emperor and the King. The boundary markers that came out of this meeting were topped by bronze pieces, removed during the reign of Henry II. The hole for the bronze attachment is still visible on the stone.

In 1832, Pierre Adolphe Muel established a foundry at Tusey. In 1840 he brought in a partner and renamed the company Muel et Wahl. In 1862 Zégut took over and in 1874 Louis Gasne. From 1896 until 1904 it was in owned by Dufilhol et Chapal, and passed on Dufilhol's death to Laurent Chevailler. Pierre Esch took over in 1935 and the foundry was finally shuttered in 1963.

Stony Creek Metropark

Stony Creek Metropark is a Huron-Clinton Metropark located in southeast Michigan in the outskirts of metro Detroit. The park is predominantly in Washington Township and Oakland Township, with a small portion in Shelby Township. The park covers 4,461 acres (18.05 km2) with Stony Creek Lake at its center.

Geography

Stony Creek Lake is a man-made lake built by damming Stony Creek, a tributary of the Clinton River. Stony Creek drains 72 square miles (116 km2) of northern Oakland County and the lake formed from the dams covers 500 acres (2.0 km2).

Stony Creek Metropark is situated on a moraine which makes for varied landscape. The park has forests, hills, prairies, as well as swamps. The park is also relatively high above sea level, 875 feet (267 m) at the park office. Although a visitor can see downtown Detroit (26 miles away) from the park office, it is not the highest point in Macomb County, as many people believe. Trombley Mountain, located in the Ford Proving Grounds (Bruce Township), is 1,150 feet (350 m) above sea level - the highest point in Macomb County.

Activities

Stony Creek has a vast amount of trails in four different locations around the park. There are 14 miles (22.5 km) of mountain biking/hiking trails located on the grounds of a former estate, of which the foundations are still visible. There are another 8.5 miles (13.7 km) of hiking trails near the nature center, and over 6 miles (10 km) of foot trails near Inwood lake. Additionally, there is a 6-mile (10 km) paved trail that circles Stony Creek lake which is popular with joggers, and inline-skaters.

Arlie Parker

Arlie Parker (born 1938) is a Canadian retired ice hockey defenseman who was a two-time All-American for St. Lawrence University in New York.

Career

Parker played junior hockey for the Peterborough Petes after the team relocated from his home town of Kitchener in 1956. Parker's final season with the team saw the Petes finish in last place in the OHA. Two years later Parker was recruited by George Menard to St. Lawrence and he began playing with the varsity team in 1959. In his first season with the team, Parker helped the saints defend their Tri-State League championship and return to the NCAA Tournament. The next season Parker became a star for the team, becoming an All-American for the team during its third consecutive league championship. In the national tournament, St. Lawrence won its first semifinal game in its sixth appearance and advanced to the first championship game in program history.Denver squad and lost by the largest margin of any championship game (as of 2020) 2–12.

In Parker's senior season the Saints joined with 27 other teams to form a new conference, ECAC Hockey and finished 10th in the standings. The team was included in the 8-team postseason tournament because they were ranked higher due to their more arduous schedule and were seeded 4th in the championship. After easily defeating Boston College in the quarterfinals, the Saints played a very strong Harvard team and stormed to a 6–5 victory after finding themselves down 1–4 in the first period. The Larries continued the strong play against Clarkson in the title match and won 5–2.All-Tournament TeamMost Outstanding Player. The championship gave St. Lawrence a fourth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, the longest streak in program history (as of 2020). There was hope that the team could improve on their second-place finish the year before but the Larries reverted to type and lost both tournament games to finish in 4th-place. Parker finished his final season in Canton with a second All-American selection on top of being named as the Most Outstanding Defenseman in ECAC Hockey.

Parker continued his playing career after graduating, appearing briefly for the senior Kingston Frontenacs. In 1963 he joined the professional ranks fully, playing on two teams over three seasons in the Eastern Hockey League. After retiring in 1966 he was inducted into the St. Lawrence Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988 for his excellence as a baseball player as well as on the ice.

Tusculan Papacy

Pope Benedict VIII (1012-1024)

The Tusculan Papacy was a period of papal history from 1012 to 1048 where three successive relatives of the counts of Tusculum were installed as pope.

Background

Main articles: Saeculum obscurum and Crescentii

Count Theophylact I of Tusculum, his wife Theodora, and daughter Marozia held great sway over the appointment of popes from 904 to 964. The lovers of Theodora and Marozia, as well as the son and grandson of Marozia, rose to the papacy during this period. However, a Count of Tusculum had not yet attempted to appoint himself as pope until 1012. Their rivals, the Crescentii had taken over the papacy from 974 to 1012.

According to Cushing, "in many ways, increasing respect for papal authority from the mid-tenth century to mid-eleventh centuries can be best viewed through the spectrum of two Roman families: the Crescentians and the Tusculans, whose control of the papacy would have important ramifications for both the control and direction of reform."vestararius.Theophanu and Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor, who resided in Rome from 999 to 1001.

The Tusculans did not expropriate church property to increase the already substantial holdings of their family; in fact, they appear to have expended their own resources to increase the power of the papacy.duchy of Rome as secular magnates and landowners – often at the expense of the temporal power of the Roman church – the Tusculans used their secular power and successes to shore up the standing of the papacy among the Roman nobility. The position of Patrician, so important to Crescentian rule, remained vacant."

Abbot Odilo of Cluny flourished during this period, receiving support from Benedict VII and John XIX for monastic immunity.

The Counts of Tusculum were centered at Tuscolo, above Frascati, protected by an ancient fortress in Borghetto; their principal monasteries were Grottaferrata and Subiaco; they also controlled many churches and religious houses in and around Rome.

Tusculan Papacy

Benedict VIII crowns Emperor Henry II, as imagined in the 15th century

In 1012, Rome saw a violent political upheaval which ended Crescentii domination and elevated Theophylact, the son of Count Gregory I of Tusculum, as Pope Benedict VIII (1012–1024).papal supremacy and frequently interfered in ecclesiastical matters on the Italian peninsula outside Rome.consul et dux").Imperial Palatinate, near Santa Sabina.

Gregory I had been a figure in the court of Emperor Otto III as the "naval prefect" and Alberic had been the "master of the imperial palace".Stefaniani family held the prefecture of Rome and the Ottaviani retained the rectorate of Sabina.

Among Benedict VIII's first acts as pope was a military campaign against the strongholds of the Crescentii around Rome.Sabina were demolished.Antipope Gregory VI (1012).John Crescentius still remained the Prefect of Rome, but was soon dispossessed of much of his property.

Benedict VIII was an ally of Emperor Henry II; he called upon the emperor to visit Rome, which he did in late 1013 (spending Christmas in Pavia).archbishop of Ravenna, who was replaced with Arnulf, a half-brother.

Benedict VIII confirmed his privileges at Bamberg and crowned him on February 14, 1014 as emperor, in a ceremony in Old Saint Peter's Basilica.Henricianum, which repeated the Diploma Ottonianum, which itself had repeated donations of land which date back to the Frankish Papacy.Henricianum, as much as the forged "Donation of Constantine", played a central role in papal territorial and sovereignty claims in the coming centuries.

Just as Henry II was promising the pope this territory, the pope was being deprived of nearly all of his temporal power by the armies of John Patricius, and competing hereditary counts had "sprung up on both sides of the Tiber".Counts of Segni controlled Campagna, the Crescentii held Sabina, the Counts of Galeria controlled Tuscany, and Thrasmundus, Berardus, and Oderisius retained the Marsian territory as far as Subiaco.Gregorovius, "of the dominions founded for them by the Carolingians the popes possessed little beyond the yellowed deeds of gift in their archives".

In 1016, a Pisan and Genoese fleet defeated the Arabs, in a victory which Benedict VIII may have something to do with; he also possibly schemed with the Normans against the Byzantines in southern Italy.Mussetus, who escaped after the battle of Luni.Melo, the leader of the rebellion against the Greeks was defeated.Henricianum in 1022 by sending their own army to southern Italy.

In 1022, Benedict VIII held with Henry II a council in Ravenna which issued stringent prohibitions against clerical concubinage.

John XIX

Benedict VIII's brother Romanus succeeded him as Pope John XIX (1024–1032).Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor but was "by no means a puppet".

John XIX was open to rapprochement with Byzantine emperor Basil II and was willing to declare the patriarch of Constantinople an ecumenical bishop; the Italian bishops and congregation of Cluny, however, opposed such moves.

Benedict IX

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048) was the nephew of Benedict VIII and John XIX.

Leading a life so shameful, so foul, so execrable that he shuddered to describe it. He ruled like a captain of banditti, rather than a prelate. Adulteries, homicides perpetrated by his own hand, passed unnoticed, unrevenged; for the patrician of the city, Gregory, was the brother of the Pope; and another brother, Peter, an active partisan ... The oppressed people at length grew weary of his robberies, murders, and abominations. They rose and drove him from the city, and proceeded to the election of John Bishop of Sabina, who took the name Silvester III.

By Autumn 1044, the position of Benedict IX was "seriously threatened" by the creation of Pope Sylvester III (1045).Pope Gregory VI (1045–1046).Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor met Gregory VI in 1046 and received him favorably.synod in Sutri.simony and deposed on December 20.Bishop of Sabina but he too was deprived of his orders and forced to retire to a monastery.

Aftermath

Main article: History of the Papacy (1048–1257)

According to John Cowdrey, "the decline of the Tusculans and Crescentians was to a limited extent balanced by the emergence of newer families which were to provide valuable support for Gregory VII and the popes that followed him", including the Frangipani family and Pierleoni family.

Legacy

The California State Relief Administration (SRA), created in 1935, was the successor to the State Emergency Relief Administration (SERA), created in 1933. The agencies were responsible for distributing state and federal funds to improve conditions in California during the Great Depression, and administered unemployment relief.

Tush (band)

TUSH were an English rock band from London active during the mid-1970s, and at one time featured Def Leppard, Man Raze and Delta Deep guitarist Phil Collen.

Formed in 1975 by George Junor (guitar and vocals), Mickey Tickton (bass and vocals) and Bob White (drums) under the name "Satisfaction", the band soon changed their name to "TUSH", inspired by the ZZ Top song. The band then recruited second guitarist Tony Miles to help provide a fuller and more contemporary sound.

The band dissolved when George decided to return to his native Scotland for family reasons in late 1977. Mickey Tickton promptly reformed the band with new members, although maintaining the name "TUSH". Phil Collen, a guitarist in the punk rock band Lucy, had been a fan of the old band and approached Mickey about joining when he heard about his plans. The new line-up consisted of Tickton and Collen with John Newman (vocals) and Fred Ball (drums).

TUSH reformed briefly for a few London gigs in early 1978 with original members Mickey Tickton and Tony Miles combining forces with Phil Collen and Fred Ball.

TUSH played a mixture of rock covers and original songs, mainly written by George, Mickey and Tony.

Very little recorded material of TUSH remains except for some rough demo tracks recorded by the original line-up in 1976. The original songs on the tape are: "Home", "Sweet Texas Baby", "So Long" and "She's Gone".

Phil Collen and Fred Ball (later the vocalist for XFX) later played together in the band Dumb Blondes, managed by ex-boxer Victor Andretti, the former TUSH manager.
