Japanese submarine I-20

I-20 was one of five Type C cruiser submarines of the C1 sub-class built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. During World War II, she operated as the mother ship for a midget submarine during the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack of Diego-Suarez, conducted war patrols in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, and served in the Guadalcanal campaign and New Guinea campaign. She was last heard from on 31 August 1943.

Design and description

The Type C submarines were derived from the earlier KD6 sub-class of the Kaidai class with a heavier torpedo armament for long-range attacks. They displaced 2,595 tonnes (2,554 long tons) surfaced and 3,618 tonnes (3,561 long tons) submerged. The submarines were 109.3 meters (358 ft 7 in) long, had a beam of 9.1 meters (29 ft 10 in) and a draft of 5.3 meters (17 ft 5 in). They had a diving depth of 100 meters (330 ft).

For surface running, the boats were powered by two 6,200-brake-horsepower (4,623 kW) diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a 1,000-horsepower (746 kW) electric motor. They could reach 23.6 knots (43.7 km/h; 27.2 mph) on the surface and 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) underwater.C1s had a range of 14,000 nautical miles (26,000 km; 16,000 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph); submerged, they had a range of 60 nmi (110 km; 69 mi) at 3 knots (5.6 km/h; 3.5 mph).

The boats were armed with eight internal bow 53.3 cm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes and carried a total of 20 torpedoes. They were also armed with a single 140 mm (5.5 in)/40 deck gun and two single or twin mounts for 25 mm (1 in) Type 96 anti-aircraft guns. They were equipped to carry one Type A midget submarine aft of the conning tower.

Pearl Harbor

At 02:57 on 7 December 1941, I-20 launched her midget submarine, No. 17, south of Oahu 5.3 nautical miles (9.8 km; 6.1 mi) from the entrance to Pearl Harbor.United States Navy coastal minesweeper USS Condor (AMc-14) reported an unidentified submarine in a submarine exclusion zone off Pearl Harbor, the destroyer USS Ward (DD-139) began a search for the submarine at 04:08, finding nothing.Ward sighted No. 17′s conning tower in the wake of the general stores ship USS Antares (AKS-3), which was approaching the harbor′s outer gate with a target barge in tow.PBY Catalina flying boat of Patrol Squadron 14 (VP-14) dropped smoke markers to indicate the midget submarine′s position.Ward opened gunfire on the submarine at 06:45 at a range of only 100 yards (91 m), firing the first shot of World War II by the American armed forces.50 yards (46 m) and hit No. 17′s conning tower with a 4-inch (102 mm) shell.Ward steamed past the midget submarine and dropped four depth charges as it wallowed in her wake, and the PBY then dropped more depth charges.No. 17 sank outside the harbor′s entrance with the loss of her two-man crew.Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory deep submergence vehicles Pisces IV and Pisces V found a midget submarine resting almost upright on the bottom in 1,200 feet (366 m) of water 3 to 4 nautical miles (5.6 to 7.4 km; 3.5 to 4.6 mi) off the entrance to Pearl Harbor, prompting speculation among historians and maritime archaeologists that it was I-20′s midget.

I-20 and the other four "mother" submarines proceeded to the planned recovery area for their midget submarines west of Lanai, where they spent the night of 7–8 December 1941.I-18, I-20, and I-24 received orders to leave the recovery area.I-20 departed the Hawaiian Islands on 12 December 1941 and arrived at Kwajalein with I-16 on 22 December 1941.

Guadalcanal campaign

Meanwhile, the Guadalcanal campaign had begun on 7 August 1942 with U.S. amphibious landings on Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Florida Island, Gavutu, and Tanambogo in the southeastern Solomon Islands. With her overhaul complete, I-20 got underway from Yokosuka on 24 October 1942 to take part in the fighting in the Solomons.I-16, I-20, and I-24 formed an attack group and each received orders to load a midget submarine delivered by the seaplane tender Chiyoda at an anchorage off Shortland Island in the Shortland Islands, then proceed to the Indispensable Strait.I-20 loaded her midget submarine, No. 11, on 5 November.No. 11 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) north of Cape Esperance on Guadalcanal′s northern coast at 05:20 on 7 November 1942.No. 11 hit the anchored U.S. Navy 2,227-ton miscellaneous auxiliary USS Majaba (AG-43), with a Type 97 torpedo, inflicting enough damage that Majaba had to beach herself on Guadalcanal to avoid sinking, although she later was salvaged.USS Landsdowne (DD-486) and USS Lardner (DD-487) counterattacked with depth charges, but No. 11 escaped unscathed.No. 11′s crew scuttled her and swam safely to Guadalcanal, and I-20 proceeded to Truk.

At Truk, I-20 embarked the midget submarine No. 37 and departed on 13 November 1942.Lungga Point on the northern coast of Guadalcanal on 18 November, and launched No. 37 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) off Cape Esperance at 03:00 on 19 November 1942.No. 37 developed a serious oil leak from her steering system, but she pressed ahead on the surface.

At Truk, I-20 embarked the midget submarine No. 8 and departed on 26 November 1942.No. 8 19 nautical miles (35 km; 22 mi) off Savo Island on 2 December.No. 8 sighted several targets, including transports and destroyers, off Guadalcanal.No. 8.

On 11 April 1943, the submarine I-5, also making a supply run to Lae, was on the surface in the Solomon Sea 90 nautical miles (170 km; 100 mi) east of Gasmata, New Britain, when she sighted I-20 on the surface at 05:10.I-5 at 05:13 and mistaking her for an Allied submarine, I-20 began an attack approach.I-5, which had identified I-20 as a Japanese submarine, managed to break contact with I-20, which had never realized during the encounter that I-5 was Japanese.

I-5, I-6, I-16, and I-20 were attached temporarily to the headquarters of the 8th Fleet on 13 April 1942.I-20 delivered 37 tons of cargo at Lae on 15 April 1943 and embarked 42 soldiers.bomber illuminated her with flares off Lae, but she avoided an attack.

I-20′s next supply run was to Kolombangara in the New Georgia Islands, where she delivered food and ammunition on 20 April 1943.

Second war patrol

Loss

The exact circumstances of I-20′s loss remain unknown. I-20 and the submarine I-182 both were patrolling in the vicinity of the New Hebrides at the time, and neither returned.antisubmarine attacks off Espiritu Santo in early September 1943.

The first action took place on 1 September 1943, when the destroyer USS Wadsworth (DD-516), operating as part of a hunter-killer group, began a search for a reported Japanese submarine off Espiritu Santo at 10:55.sonar contact at 13:00,150 feet (46 m).Wadsworth commenced a second attack, with her depth charges set for an average of 250 feet (76 m).Wadsworth launched the depth charges, then headed south before turning northeast, creating an underwater wake that degraded Wadsworth′s sonar detection capability.Wadsworth made several attack runs without dropping depth charges before firing a deep pattern set to explode at an average depth of 425 feet (130 m).Wadsworth continued to pursue the submarine, which maneuvered to create more underwater turbulence in an attempt to defeat Wadsworth′s sonar.Wadsworth dropped a final pattern of ten depth charges set to explode at an average depth of 250 feet (76 m), then turned east and opened the range.PBY Catalina flying boat reported debris and a 400-by-600-yard (370 by 550 m) oil slick that smelled like diesel fuel on the surface just south of the location of Wadsworth′s final attack. 15°38′S 166°57′E / 15.633°S 166.950°E.


Japanese submarine I-20

The second action occurred on 3 September 1943, when the destroyer USS Ellet (DD-398) conducted a sweep for a reported Japanese submarine off Espiritu Santo.Ellet picked up a radar contact at a range of 13,000 yards (11,900 m) at 19:35, closed to a range of about 5,000 yards (4,600 m), and challenged the unseen contact with a visual signal.Ellet received no reply, she illuminated the area with star shells.3,400 yards (3,100 m), but Ellet then picked up a sonar contact at a range of 3,000 yards (2,700 m).Ellet conducted a series of depth charge attacks. 13°10′S 165°28′E / 13.167°S 165.467°E.

The submarines Wadsworth and Ellet sank remain unidentified.I-20 and the other I-182.

On 18 November 1943, the Imperial Japanese Navy declared I-20 lost with her entire crew of 101 men off Espiritu Santo.

Reding Fountain

The Reding Fountain is a historic 17th-century fountain located in the Andalusian city of Málaga, Spain.

It has been reproduced countless times by local painters. It is located at one end of the Príes Avenue and pipes spring water from the Mount Gibralfaro.

Description

This is a watering hole fountain built in marble and attached to a gable between pilasters that give it a monumental appearance.

In the lower part, above the basin, it has an imaginary fish-shaped figurehead surrounded by edges and borders, from the mouth of which the only spout of the fountain pours. Above this figurehead there is a marble plaque with an inscription relating to the reform of paths that gave rise to the current Paseo de Reding, as well as the date of completion of the work. Between the basin and the figurehead there is an inscription relating to the construction of the Paseo de Reding itself and the restoration of the fountain in times of Theodor von Reding.

At the top, on the marble plaque, there are two alabaster coats of arms with the city's and Marquis of Villafiel's coats of arms, Fernando Carrillo and Manuel. The set is completed with a moulded basin whose centre is decorated with a hanging festoon.

History

View of the Reding Fountain next to the retaining wall of the former Giró Estate.

It was ordered to be built by the mayor of the city, Fernando Carrillo y Manuel, Marquis of Villafiel. The fountain was part of the set of works to improve the road from Vélez-Málaga, which were completed on 8 February 1675.

In 1806, with Theodor von Reding as mayor of Malaga, it was restored to its current appearance and its current name, in honour of the mayor. From this restoration came the basin and the fish figurehead that the fountain has today.

It was restored again in 2017 to resolve a series of damages to its architecture, recovering its original structure.

The Process received generally-mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic writer Steve Huey criticized the album for failing to convey its concepts, but concluded: "Still, credit must be given to the band for having finished the record at all, and in its own way, the confusion of The Process speaks volumes".The Record gave the album one out of four stars: "Skinny Puppy's sound was certainly original – the group's synthesizer-dominated rock could have easily served as the background music for a dream sequence in a horror or sci-fi movie. But The Process is just a nightmare of a recording".NME, John Perry wrote that the album was "far from being the industrial, goth knees-up you'd expect" and did little to hold listener interest: "You can't help feeling it would have been better all-round if they hadn't bothered".Select also criticized the album: "An unerring inability to distinguish arse from elbow throughout results in a flimsy 11-track approximation of a gang of mildly irritated moped riders attempting a stage invasion at a Jean-Michel Jarre concert".


The Process (Skinny Puppy album)

James Muretich of the Calgary Herald was impressed by "Candle", and wrote that "the band at least goes out with more of a bark than a whimper".The Tampa Tribune gave the album two stars out of four, writing that the Last Rights track "Download" would have been "the perfect ending" for the band. Although The Process presented nothing new, saying that the album "only sounds weak in light of Puppy's track record" and "the band still make Nine Inch Nails sound like sissies".Detroit Free Press said that "Goettel and Puppy devotees deserve a better epitaph than The Process", and the album was "bogged down in [the] B-horror-movie mode that the band has explored more relevantly before".

Some reviews were more favorable. Sandy Masuo of the Los Angeles Times described the album as "full of intriguing vagaries" and filled with "driving dance grooves, both choppy and smooth", calling "Candle" a "suitably moody swan song".The Atlanta Constitution praised the band's experimentation with new sounds and styles, saying that the album "may final[ly] garner this musical institution some attention outside the protective umbrella of industrial fans".The Morning Call agreed, saying that the band "just might enjoy some post-mortem glory with The Process" and praising "Death" and "Candle".San Francisco Examiner wrote, "For newcomers, the album is a fascinating and unnerving trip through psychosis. For Skinny Puppy, The Process represents uncomfortable closure and some cohesion".Kerrang! called The Process "the most poignant, elegiac and human album of their career".

University of the East College of Business Administration

The University of the East - College of Business Administration was founded as the mother unit of the University of the East, starting from Philippine College of Commerce and Business Administration (PCCBA) in 1946. UE is one of the pioneers of business education in the Philippines and is considered one of the best accounting schools, especially from its founding up to the 1980s, when UE graduates would dominate the topnotchers list of the CPA board exams. The College is both offered in Manila and Caloocan.

History

SFC Quadrangle

SFC building

The College of Business Administration started as a CPA Review School. On September 11, 1946, five people namely Francisco T. Dalupan, Sr., Herminiglio Reyes, Jose Torres, Jaime Hernandez and Santiago dela Cruz established the Philippine College of Commerce and Business Administration (PCCBA) along R. Papa St. in Sampaloc, Manila. The following year, more students enrolled and more academic units were organized, and the PCCBA moved to what is now UE's main campus on 2219 Claro M. Recto Avenue.

With an enrollment of only 213, the review classes expanded into a college named the College of Commerce. In 1963, it was renamed the College of Business Administration.

In 1963, the University not only got the top ten slots, but seven others as well, two of whom tied at eleventh while three tied at fourteenth and two tied at fifteenth, which added to that unparalleled feat. The University's passing percentage also consistently maintained a grade above the national passing percentage.

The College has a line of distinguished men and women at its helm. Dr. Santiago F. De La Cruz, the first Dean of the College (1947–1971), pushed for excellent performance at the CPA board examinations. As a result, graduates have garnered the 1st to the 20th places in the board examinations over the years.

Dean Sotero Lopez continued the programs of Dr. De La Cruz. When he retired in 1974, Dr. Isidro D. Cariño took over the helm of the College, where he initiated some changes, among which was the upgrading of the criteria for faculty evaluation. In 1976, he introduced the BSBA Special Degree Program (BBM Program for executives without any college degree).


Jesus Casiño succeeded Dr. Cariño in 1977. He revived the honors program designed to upgrade the quality of Accounting majors. When Dean Casiño retired, Jose Papa was appointed Dean. He was succeeded in turn by Carmen Lim, who served as Officer-in-Charge from 1983 to 1984. Dr. Feliciano Roque Jr. took over in 1984, he introduced the “ladder-type curriculum” for all the major fields of specialization. This awards a certificate of Associate in Business Administration at the end of the second curriculum year, and a bachelor's degree at the end of the fourth curriculum year.

UE Vice President for Finance Erlinda Pefianco became concurrent Dean of the College in 1988. To ensure better operation and supervision, the offices of two Associate Deans were created: Ester F. Ledesma was appointed Associate Dean for Accountancy and Mercedes J. Manaois was Associate Dean for Business.

Dean Pefianco implemented the BS Accountancy Program in 1990. Through her encouragement and wholehearted support, the College was granted Level I accredited status by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA). Upon Dr. Pefianco’s appointment as Undersecretary of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), Dr. Manaois took over as head of the College. Closely working with the faculty, she prepared the College for Level II accreditation, a status that was eventually attained in 1992.

In 1976, extension programs were organized at the Caloocan Campus or UE Caloocan. Among the programs offered were four-year BSBA courses in various areas of specialization. In the 1986 reorganization, the office of the Dean of the College of Business Administration-Caloocan (CBA Caloocan) was created, and Teresita Nadurata was appointed its first dean. She implemented the same curricular programs as those offered in the Manila Campus.

October 1991 saw the fusing of the two Colleges of Business Administration under the stewardship of Dean Nadurata. The objective was to achieve uniformity of programs in both Campuses. Meanwhile, Zenaida S. Diola served as Associate Dean of CBA Caloocan.


Upon the retirement of Dean Nadurata in 1993, Ester F. Ledesma took over the deanship in the Manila Campus while Chancellor Desideria R. Rex served concurrently as Dean of CBA Caloocan until the appointment of Dr. Jose P. Nagayo in 1996.

In the Manila Campus, after Associate Dean Ledesma assumed the deanship and taking a cue from then President Rosalina S. Cajucom’s vision of the UE renaissance, she envisioned a two-pronged centerpiece program for the College. The program aimed at the improvement of the quality of instruction through the implementation of a highly selective admission policy in the BSA Program and continuing faculty development. She also adopted a program for Student Care through the Homeroom Year Level Advisory Program. In 1996, Dean Ledesma was able to attain the PACUCOA’s Level II re-accredited status for CBA Manila. To further improve the quality of the BS Accountancy program, she crafted and implemented the five-year BS Accountancy program. In 1998, CBA Manila under her leadership was listed by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as the number 3 top performing school with over 100 examinees.

CBA Caloocan Dean Nagayo was succeeded shortly after by Dr. Francisco L. Lontoc, who served up to April 30, 1997. Associate Dean Asuncion B. Howe was designated Officer-in-Charge until the appointment of a new Dean, Dr. Felino L. Ampil Jr., in January 1998.


Dr. Jose C. Benedicto became Dean of CBA Caloocan in 1999. He served on a concurrent capacity when he was appointed Chancellor of UE Caloocan shortly after. Baltazar N. Endriga became the next Dean of the College. Formerly President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, he was eventually appointed Vice President for Academic Affairs and is now the President and Chief Academic Officer of the University. Eduardo M. Trinidad is the current dean of CBA Caloocan. Dean Trinidad is one of the elected directors in the education sector of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA). A banker for 20 years and a guest faculty member at the Asian Institute of Management before becoming CBA Caloocan Dean in May 2002, Dean Trinidad has worked closely with the Accountancy faculty to strictly implement the retention policy for Accountancy students, to improve the quality of teaching and to push for the teachers’ continuing professional development. He has also encouraged the Accountancy teachers to voluntarily mentor students who are weak in certain subjects as a form of review and as a service to others.

In 1999, the Vice President for Information Technology and Systems of the University, Numeriano M. de la Cruz, succeeded Dean Ledesma. VP De la Cruz became the concurrent Dean of the College. He strictly implemented the retention policy for the Accountancy majors as well as the Total Student Care and Total Faculty Care programs with the mission to “bring back the glory that was UE.” In 2000, Dr. Rellita D. Paez took over the helm of the College. It was during her term that the College was granted a second Level II re-accreditation by PACUCOA.

Dean Geronimo C. Estacio succeeded Dr. Paez in August 2002. Bringing with him his vast experience as Chief Financial Officer of Procter & Gamble, he launched the “Turn-Around Plan” envisioned to produce future CPA topnotch board placers through the revival of the Accounting Honors Program. Following Dean Estacio’s resignation shortly after, Macario G. Sevilla assumed the headship of the College. Dean Sevilla launched other programs aside from the Accounting Honors Program, such as the Accounting Lecture Series and the establishment of Professorial Chairs. He spearheaded the organization of the UE College of Business Administration Accounting Alumni Foundation, which aims to provide coordinated and united financial and professional support to the academic programs of the College.


Within the past 60 years, the College of Business Administration produced more than 350 top placers in the CPA Board Examinations. Twenty-nine of these were first placers, while 50 were 2nd and 3rd placers. The rest dominated the 4th to the 20th slots.

The College of Business Administration in Manila as well as in Caloocan register the highest enrollment among the UE Colleges annually. It continues to produce graduates who are highly placed in private and in government institutions.

The Problemist

The Problemist is a bimonthly chess problem magazine which has been in publication since January 1926. It originally had the subtitle "Proceedings of the British Chess Problem Society" but the words "Proceedings of" were dropped in January 1985.

History and profile

The foreword to the first issue, written by the editor T. R. Dawson, begins: "This little journal, bringing Happy New Year Greetings to every member of the B. C. P. S., will be to most of you a surprise calling for explanation. Its origin lies in the desire to have a medium in which the Society, as a collection of units and as a unity, may give expression to its thoughts and life. Following a suggestion from Mr F. F. L. Alexander, at the last annual general meeting, I obtained quotations for printing this periodical which enabled me to formulate a practical scheme for its continuance within the limits of our income. The scheme was unanimously adopted at a special meeting on Nov. 27th last, with Mr B. G. Laws in the chair and I accepted the meeting's invitation to edit these pages. Our title is a happy suggestion from Mr C. D. Locock."

T. R. Dawson continued as editor of The Problemist until May 1931 when he resigned to devote more time to The Problemist Fairy Chess Supplement which he had begun in August 1930 (in 1936 it was renamed the Fairy Chess Review).

The post of editor of The Problemist was taken on by C. S. Kipping who held the position until his death in 1963. Subsequent editors have been John Ling, Colin Vaughan from March 1972, Paul Valois from May 1985, John Rice from March 1999, and David Friedgood from January 2013.

All these general editors have been assisted by a team of section editors devoted to specific topics. The Problemist continues to be devoted essentially to orthodox chess problems, including regular columns on endgames, selfmates and helpmates using the orthodox chess pieces. A fairy chess column was reintroduced by A. S. M. Dickins in March 1968.

In January 1997, as a result of modern computer production methods, the page-size of the magazine was reduced from the traditional quarto size to A5, though with more pages. Although the magazine is published by the British Chess Problem Society,

Torneo Gran Alternativa (2012)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (2012) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was the 2012 version of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Torneo Gran Alternativa, a tournament they had held almost every year since 1994. The 2012 version was the eighteenth Torneo Gran Alternativa and was held in March and April 2012. The tournament consisted of 16 tag teams, composed of a Novato (rookie) and a veteran wrestler, who may not normally team up.

Block A, which was won by the team of Euforia and El Terrible, took place on March 30, 2012, and Block B, which was won by Atlantis and Tritón, took place on April 6. The finals of the tournament were held on April 13 and were won by Euforia and El Terrible. the victory was the impetus for Euforia later joining Los Guerreros del Infierno ("The Warriors from the Inferno"). The Gan Alternativa also saw another chapter in a long-running feud between El Terrible and Rush as they met in one of the semi-final matches.

History

Starting in 1994 the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created a special tournament concept where they would team up a novato, or rookie, with a veteran for a single-elimination tag team tournament.El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "the Great Alternative Tournament" and became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar. CMLL did not hold a Gran Alternativa tournament in 1997 and 2000 held on each year from 2001 through 2012. The 2012 Gran Alternativa tournament was the 18th overall Gran Alternativa tournament. All tournaments have been held in Arena México, CMLL's main venue and as part of the CMLL Super Viernes show.

Tournament background

Volador Jr., who teamed up with Raziel for the tournament

The tournament featured 15 professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers teaming up, some of which were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines while others were simply paired up for the tournament. Wrestlers portrayed either villains (referred to as Rudos in Mexico) or fan favorites (Técnicos in Mexico) as they competed in wrestling matches with pre-determined outcomes.Novatos in the block competing in a "seeding" battle royal to determine the brackets for the block.

Royal Quiet Deluxe

The Royal Quiet Deluxe was a portable typewriter, made by the Royal Typewriter Company, from 1939 until 1959. The first-generation Quiet Deluxe was the first Royal to feature Magic Margin. The first generation of Royal Quiet Deluxe was manufactured from 1939 until 1948, with a gap in production due to World War II. It was the typewriter of choice for Ernest Hemingway.

A well-used 1955 Royal Quiet Deluxe typewriter

In the late 1940s, the Royal Quiet Deluxe was redesigned by Henry Dreyfuss. It was redesigned again in 1950, with the corners rounded off. By 1955, it was being offered in a choice of six colours, and gray. According to The Typewriter Database, the last Royal Quiet Deluxe typewriters were made in 1957.

According to Machines of Loving Grace, an online museum of typewriters by a prolific collector, the Quiet Deluxe was a refinement of the earlier Standard and DeLuxe models. "The DeLuxe is very similar to the Portable Standard in style and function. It has the addition of a tabulator, a paper guide, and of course its signature 'crinkle' finish and chromed bands. Down the road, the DeLuxe would be merged with the short-lived Quiet model and become one of Royal's most popular models, the Quiet DeLuxe.",

The Royal Typewriter Company produced a special edition of the Quiet Deluxe with gold-plated accents,

One of these is reported to have been commissioned by author Ian Fleming "After finishing the first draft of Casino Royale, Ian Fleming rewarded himself with a Royal Quiet Deluxe Portable gold-plated typewriter, which he used to write the rest of his books and short stories. Fleming bought the gold-plated Royal Quiet Deluxe Portable typewriter from a New York dealer in 1952".Ernest Hemingway also used a Quiet De Luxe. "A manual Royal typewriter that once belonged to Ernest Hemingway, made around 1940 and still in its well-worn leather carrying case, sold for $2,750 at a multi-estate sale held June 24th [2007] by Four Seasons Auction Gallery"

History

Between 1324 and 1328 Friar Jordan who came to Travancore, visited all the places where St. Thomas the Apostle had formed Christian communities, including the South Pandian Kingdom. One evidence to prove his preaching Christianity in the Pandian kingdom is the building of a church in Kurumbur Azhagappapuram in honour of St. Vincent Ferrer (Visenthiyppar), a Dominican. In that church we can find a statue of St. Vincent Ferrer placed by Friar Jordan. At that time the Christians of Kanakkan Kudieruppu had migrated to the fertile land north of Maanaveeranaadu and south of Thamirabarani River. That is why Friar Jordan had to build the church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Kurumbur.

Wreckers: Tread & Circuits

Wreckers: Tread & Circuits is an American limited comic book series written by David Mariotte, drawn by Jack Lawrence, colored by Candice Han and Brittany Peer, and published by IDW Publishing. Based on the Transformers franchise by Hasbro and Takara-Tomy, the series is set in the same continuity of the 2019 mainline comic book.

The series debuted on October 13, 2021,

Premise

The Wreckers are a secret operation team that infiltrates in Speedia 500, a space racing tournament in planet Velocitron, in order to stop a terrorist organization called Mayhem, without exposing their cover as extreme acrobats.

Publication history

Background

Transformers was first announced by IDW Publishing on December 18, 2018.Brian Ruckley, and was initially illustrated by Angel Hernandez and Cachét Whitman,Transformers franchise, which he describes as of the "biggest [and] best that science fiction has to offer".

Development

In July 2021, IDW Publishing announced the comic book limited series Wreckers: Tread & Circuits, written by IDW editor David Mariotte, drawn by Transformers: Lost Light artist Jack Lawrence and colored by Candice Han.

Mariotte said, “the Wreckers are an idea that comes from the comics—a team of Autobots willing to do what other Autobots wouldn't, and look cool as heck while doing it. Every iteration has been a bit different, and with Jack and Candice on art, this one's going to be a gorgeous new take on who the Wreckers are and how they do what they do best.”

Lawrence said, “I was collecting the UK Transformers comic when the first Wreckers story was published in 1986, and it’s so awesome to actually contribute to their legend. The Wreckers have always felt like a pulp adventure team, and I'm excited to bring some of that feeling to these pages.”

The series concluded on January 12, 2022 after four issues.

The Wreckers (Thunderclash, Hot Shot, Ricochet, Aileron, Circuit, and Minerva) are an undercover team sent from Cybertron to Velocitron to watch over the Speedia 500 tournament, while livestreaming videos of their acrobatics to the public eye. On the day of the tournament, the Stuntmaster's broadcast signal gets high jacked by an organization called Mayhem, whose leader, Octopunch, murders Electrons, a former competitor who was going to participate again. Mayhem demands to cancel the tournament to take back Velocitron. The Wreckers decide to join the competition to fight against Mayhem, but Aileron has her doubts. Circuit walks on his own, feeling useless for his team, until he is found by Axer, an old acquaintance of his.

While everyone bet who will win the race, the Wreckers try to investigate the Mayhem incidents. Axer, who works on Security Operations, warns Circuit about staying away from Velocitron, but the latter is shot after contacting his team while chasing Octopunch. Back in the Stuntmaster, Circuit is getting treated inside a cryogenic restoration chamber. Before the race begins, Breakdown announces security protocols to be established around the track.

When Knock Out is about to give his speech as Senator, he is gunned down by Submarauder with a harpoon launcher. Members of Mayhem then begin an assault against the Wreckers, ending with Minerva being falsely accused of the attempted assassination. Aboard the Stuntmaster, Circuit dies because of his injuries from the Speedia 500 incident, while Thunderclash declares to recruit new members while returning to Cybertron. Back on Velocitron, Minerva discovers that Knock Out, Breakdown and Mayhem has been working with the Decepticons the whole time, before Skyquake sentences her to indefinite stasis.
