Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust runs Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, Huddersfield and Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax, both in West Yorkshire, England. It became a Foundation Trust in 2006.

The rebuilding of Calderdale Royal Hospital by the Catalyst consortium which now services and maintains the hospital was a Private Finance Initiative costing £103 million.

There were suggestions in 2014 that the A&E Department in Calderdale Royal Hospital could be closed or downgraded. This was opposed by MPs in Halifax.Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and building a 64 bed planned care hospital nearby. These plans would be financed by private finance initiative funding.

Performance

Four-hour target in the emergency department quarterly figures from NHS England Data from https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ae-waiting-times-and-activity/

In December 2013 it was revealed that the Trust had one of the worst figures for delayed discharges in England.

In 2014, the Trust planned to buy a new electronic patient record system and sent 14 members of staff to the USA to evaluate the competing systems from Cerner and Allscripts, the final two competing for the £38 million contract shortlisted from eight bidders. A contract was due to be signed in early 2015 with the system implemented in mid-2016. The Trust were criticised by UNISON for sending staff on what was described as a junket, but the Trust said that 13 of the 14 were clinicians and that it was bound to visit all shortlisted suppliers to avoid potential legal repercussions.

In December 2014 the Trust reported a sudden deterioration in its financial position projecting a £4 million deficit at the end of the financial year, despite originally planning for a £3 million surplus.

In April 2015 the Trust lost a contract to manage school nurses in Calderdale in favour of Locala. In 2014 it lost a £4.5 million contract for wheelchair services to private firm Opcare and a contract for termination of pregnancy worth roughly £1 million to the women’s charity Marie Stopes International.


In May 2021 the trust analysed its waiting list performance and found that patients from a minority ethnic background were waiting 8.5 weeks longer on average for a “priority two” operation, which should be done within a month, than white patients and patients from the most deprived communities were waiting 7.8 weeks longer than those from the least deprived areas. By October 2021 these differences had been reduced to 3 and 2.5 weeks respectively.

Blantyre coma scale

The Blantyre coma scale is a modification of the Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale, designed to assess malarial coma in children.

It was designed by Terrie Taylor and Malcolm Molyneux in 1987, and named for the Malawian city of Blantyre, site of the Blantyre Malaria Project.

Using the scale

The score assigned by the Blantyre coma scale is a number from 0 to 5. The score is determined by adding the results from three groups: Motor response, verbal response, and eye movement.

The minimum score is 0 which indicates poor results while the maximum is 5 indicating good results. All scores under 5 are considered abnormal.

Eye movement

  * 1 – Watches or follows
  * 0 – Fails to watch or follow

Best motor response

  * 2 – Localizes painful stimulus (patient's ability to remove stimuli)
  * 1 – Withdraws limb from painful stimulus
  * 0 – No response or inappropriate response

Best verbal response

  * 2 – Cries appropriately with pain, or, if verbal, speaks
  * 1 – Moan or abnormal cry with pain
  * 0 – No vocal response to pain

Sniggle

Sniggling apparatus

A sniggle is a type of fish hook used for catching eels (known as snigs), using the method of sniggling.

A typical method of sniggling is to tie a fishing line to the middle of a large needle or fish hook. The needle is then inserted along the body of an earthworm which is used as bait. The needle is then stuck into a slender sniggling pole such as a hazel wand, eight to ten feet long. This is used to insert the bait into promising holes or crannies in which eels tend to lurk. When an eel takes the bait then, after a minute or two, the bait will have been swallowed whole and the line is then pulled to rotate the needle or hook within the body of the eel so snagging and catching it.

Captain America in: The Doom Tube of Dr. Megalomann, also known as Captain America Defies The Doom Tube, is a video game based on a comic book series of the same name. It was published in 1987 by U.S. Gold on their Go! label for computers including the Amstrad CPC and the Commodore 64 and was published a year later on the ZX Spectrum. Reviews were mixed, with the graphics and audio generally seen as poor. It is the first video game to feature Captain America.

The virus has been released into the base, and players can only access areas below their immunity level. By defeating enemies they can collect ying-yang which boosts their immunity. Captain America can throw his shield to take out enemies, but the number of shields he holds are limited, although he can re-use those which kill enemies or if he recalls a shield before it is lost.

Plot

Dr. Megalomann is aiming to launch rockets containing a deadly virus. The CIA discover his secret base below the Mojave Desert, called the Doom Tube. Captain America is sent in to stop the rockets from being launched and to save the world.

Development and release

Captain America in: The Doom Tube of Dr. Megalomann was the first appearance by Captain America in a computer game.B-side of the gaming cassette contained a mono single called Who's Crying Now by the band Resister.

Captain America received mixed reviews. Crash criticized the lack of definition of the characters and poor audio, calling the game "a disappointing licence, wasting great potential".Your Spectrum mostly agreed with the points of Crash, but said, "the graphics aren't going to win any awards, but they're a nice size and very clear".Sinclair User described the game as addictive and praised the challenging level of gameplay.Commodore 64 magazine Zzap!64 felt that the instructions lead to confusion, and that the difficult and repetitive gameplay meant that the game didn't have any lasting appeal.

Devonport Leat

The Devonport Leat is a leat in Devon constructed in the 1790s to carry fresh drinking water from the high ground of Dartmoor to the expanding dockyards at Plymouth Dock (which was renamed as Devonport, Devon on 1 January 1824).

Feedwaters

It is fed by five Dartmoor rivers: the West Dart, the Cowsic, the Hart Tor Brook, the River Meavy and the Blackabrook (this last apparently was the first portion to supply Plymouth Dock).

Aqueduct on the leat near Burrator Reservoir over the River Meavy

Construction

Dartmoor granite was used to construct the water channel, as well as a small aqueduct and a tunnel.

Historic changes

It was originally designed to carry water all the way to Plymouth Dock, a total distance of 27 miles (43 km), but has since been shortenedBurrator Reservoir dam. Some of the water goes through underground pipes to the water treatment works at Dousland; the rest goes into the Burrator Reservoir which provides most of the water supply of Plymouth. For part of the route to Dousland the pipes follow the route of the disused Yelverton to Princetown Railway. Before the piped supply to Dousland was installed, the water was used for a hydroelectric turbine near Yelverton Reservoir and fed by a 12-inch-diameter (300 mm) pipe.

Bobby Hume

Bobby Hume (18 March 1941 – 26 March 1997) was a Scottish professional footballer.

Life and career

Born in Glasgow, his first club was the Scottish junior club Kirkintilloch Rob Roy. Hume signed for Rangers in 1959 and was to make 23 first-team appearances (including 17 League appearances) with them, scoring 3 goals. He made his Rangers début in December 1959 in a home match against Kilmarnock. He was in the Rangers side that faced Fiorentina of Italy in the first leg of the first European Cup-Winners' Cup final in 1961, a final Rangers lost. His Rangers first-team appearances were probably limited by the form of left-winger Davie Wilson.

He was one of the first British footballers to wear contact lenses on the field of play. In 1962 he signed for Middlesbrough where he would make 19 first-team appearances (scoring 5 goals) before returning to Scotland where he signed for Aberdeen (33 appearances and 4 goals in two seasons). He also played 3 times for Alloa Athletic, scoring a single goal.

In 1965 he emigrated to South Africa where he signed for Johannesburg club Highlands Park; his brother Ronnie was a teammate. He helped Highlands Park win their fifth South African league title in seven years in 1966. After retirement he continued to live in Johannesburg with his wife and four children. Hume was shot dead in March 1997 at the wheel of his car near his home, the victim of a carjacking.

Senecio vernalis

Senecio vernalis is one of the European species of Senecio, an annual that is also known as eastern groundsel. While it has been long classified as Senecio vernalis, this species has more recently been described as a subspecies of Senecio leucanthemifolius and is now included by some in that species.

Description

Eastern groundsel is a "lovely yellow-flowering weed found by the roadside and on the edges of fields"S. eboracensis.

Stems and leaves Leaves usually wavey, dissected, with lateral lobes that are about as long as width of central undivided portion, usually conspicuously covered with fine hairs. The edges are serrated. Leaves alternate one leaf per node along the stem. Seeds The oldest collection of seeds recorded was 16 years; average germination change for these was from 100% to 82.5%, with a mean storage period 13 years.

A Senecio and a diploid, Senecio vernalis is part of a species group along with S. flavus, S. gallicus, S. squalidus and S. glaucus who are widespread geographically and interesting for the study of genecology (the study of genetic differences in relation to the environment) and plant evolution.

Published version of the Treaties of Amity and Commerce between Japan and Netherlands, Britain, France, Russia and the United States, 1858

The Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce (The Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Commerce, between Queen Victoria and the tycoon of Japan, 日英修好通商条約, Nichi-Ei Shūkō Tsūshō Jōyaku) was signed on 26 August 1858 by Lord Elgin and the then representatives of the Japanese government (the Tokugawa shogunate), and was ratified between Queen Victoria and the Tycoon of Japan at Yedo on 11 July 1859.

The concessions which Japan made in the treaty were threefold:

  * A representative of the British government would be permitted to reside at Edo.
  * Hakodate, Kanagawa and Nagasaki were to be opened to British commerce on 1 July 1859 and British subjects could travel within a range of 25 miles of each port. Hyogo would open on 1 January 1863.
  * British subjects would be allowed to reside in Edo from 1 January 1862 and Osaka from 1 January 1863.

About this ratification

This ratification seems to have meant that Queen Victoria would have power and jurisdiction in the dominions of the Tycoon of Japan.

The London Gazette published on 4 March 1859 says, "a Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Commerce hath been agreed upon and concluded between Her Majesty and His Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, which was signed by the respective Plenipotentiaries of their said Majesties on the twenty-sixth day of August last: And whereas immediately upon and from the exchange of the ratifications of the said Treaty, Her Majesty will have power and jurisdiction in the dominions of the Tycoon of Japan ".

This coastal rock covers approximately 14 acres (57,000 m2), and rises steeply 335 feet (102 m) above sea level. The refuge provides an important sanctuary for the Aleutian cackling goose and nesting seabirds.

History

Tolowa people foraged on, but did not live on the island, their village sites were on the headlands near Castle Rock and towards Point St. George where the intertidal zone provided shellfish and seaweed.

Castle Rock refuge is not open to the public to prevent disturbance to the marine mammals and sea birds.

Castle Rock Refuge is managed as a component of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex from headquarters in Loleta, California (located south of Eureka).

Geology


Castle Rock National Wildlife Refuge

Geology

Castle Rock is assigned to be part of the Franciscan Assemblage with a base of pillow basalt rising 200 feet (61 m) on the west while the eastern end is composed of shale and greywacke.Pleistocene soil and a sandy subsoils up to 25 feet (7.6 m) are present on flatter areas, covered by a dark humus which can range to 12 inches (0.30 m) thick.

Wave erosion of north to south trending faults have produced large sea caves on the south side of the island, and the 100 feet (30 m) "pit" on the eastern side is not a product of quarrying but was created when a fault collapsed connecting to the ocean under an arch of remaining land.ocean currents flow from north to south and prevailing winds from the northwest.

Wildlife

Castle Rock is the second largest nesting seabird colony south of Alaska (after the Farallon Islands),murres on the Pacific Coast, with population estimates ranging as high as 100,000 for just this one species.

Eleven species of seabirds, one shorebird (the black oystercatcher) and two pinnipeds are documented to breed on Castle Rock.northern elephant seals, which like harbor seals breed on the island; California sea lions and Steller sea lions use the island as a haul-out

Harbor porpoises and gray whales are the most common cetaceans year round, with most sightings of the gray whales during their migration when they feed around Castle Rock.

Mostly nocturnal, burrow and crevice nesting sea birds including tufted puffins, fork-tailed storm petrels, and Leach's storm petrels, Cassin's auklets, rhinoceros auklets, double-crested cormorant, Brandt's cormorant, pelagic cormorant and pigeon guillemots avoid predation by the diurnal western gulls which also breed on the island.Peregrine falcons used to breed on the site but have not been documented since the 1940s.brown pelicans use the island as a communal roost but do not breed north of Monterey, California. Over 21,000 Aleutian cackling geese roost on the island,

USS Sailfish (SSR-572)

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

USS Sailfish (SSR/SS/AGSS-572), the lead ship of her class of submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the sailfish, a large gamefish inhabiting tropical seas, related to the swordfish, but possessing scales and a large sail-like dorsal fin.

Construction and commissioning

Sailfish was the first submarine built expressly for radar picket service, and was equipped with BPS-2 and BPS-3 radars in and aft of the sail. She and her sister ship, Salmon, were the largest conventionally-powered submarines in the United States Navy since Argonaut of 1928. Designed to scout in advance of carrier groups using long-range radar, the Sailfish class were designed for a high surface speed. However, their speed achieved was not significantly faster than converted World War II radar picket submarines.

Sailfish was laid down on 8 December 1953 by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard at Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 8 September 1955, sponsored by Mrs. Lynde D. McCormick, wife of Admiral Lynde D. McCormick, and commissioned on 14 April 1956.

Service history

1956–1960

Following trials off the New Hampshire coast, Sailfish conducted a shakedown cruise in the Caribbean Sea before joining Submarine Squadron (SubRon) 6 at Norfolk, Virginia. In July 1957, she began her first extended deployment with Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. She returned to Norfolk in October and, through the fall of 1958, engaged in local operations, with occasional visits to Caribbean ports. In December, she commenced a seven-month conversion and overhaul at Philadelphia. In April 1959, while the yard work was still in progress, she was transferred to SubRon 10 at New London, Connecticut. Sailfish resumed coastal operations out of New London in July, participating in fleet and NATO exercises, providing qualification training for prospective submarine officers and crews, and sharpening her own battle readiness.

1961–1967


USS Sailfish (SSR-572)

1961–1967

On 3 February 1961, Sailfish was reclassified an attack submarine and given hull classification symbol SS-572, as the submarine radar picket mission ended fleetwide. Airborne radar had superseded it with the full deployment of the Grumman WF-2 Tracer. Over Thanksgiving weekend in 1961 she was dispersed from New London to Rhode Island and while in port there a fire in the deep fat fryer caused significant damage burning nearly all of the cables running through the after battery compartment. She returned to New London at the end of that weekend and the entire crew worked around the clock for five straight days replacing all of the cables. As a result, Sailfish was able to complete an exercise previous assigned by getting underway just six days after the fire. In January 1962 Sailfish entered the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for overhaul. By September 1962, she was preparing for her second Mediterranean deployment and departed New London on 10 October. She operated with Sixth Fleet over the next four months and returned to New London in February 1963, where she participated in local operations through the rest of that year and 1964.

In January 1965, Sailfish was transferred to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she entered the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for an extensive "FRAM II" conversion. Thirteen months later, in February 1966, she left the navy yard presenting a more sleek, streamlined appearance, broken only by the deck mounted fins of the new PUFFS sonar system. Her large search radar had been removed. These new fins duplicated on a miniature scale the form of her conning tower, giving her the dorsaled look of a large, beautiful fish, like the sailfish for which she was named. Following an exhaustive checkout of her newly acquired systems and a period of refresher training, she deployed in July for her third Mediterranean tour. After four months, she returned to New London and local operations.

1967–1978


USS Sailfish (SSR-572)

1967–1978

On 1 November 1967, she was assigned to SubRon 8 and joined the submarines of Submarine Division (SubDiv) 82, specialists in antisubmarine warfare. She operated out of Groton, Connecticut, until July 1968, then underwent overhaul into February 1969. On 1 July, she was ordered to the Pacific and assigned a new home port, Pearl Harbor. Sailfish departed New London on 14 July; transited the Panama Canal; and, after a brief visit to Acapulco, Mexico, proceeded to Hawaii. From Pearl Harbor, she sailed on 9 October for deployment with Seventh Fleet in the western Pacific. Sailfish operated out of Yokosuka, Japan. In January 1970, she participated in Allied exercises off Taiwan and Okinawa; in February, she conducted joint training operations with units of the Navy of the Republic of Korea; and, in March, she operated with units of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. On 26 May, Sailfish returned to Pearl Harbor and spent the remainder of the year there in training operations and upkeep.

On 8 February 1971, Sailfish departed Pearl Harbor for her second WestPac deployment. For over six months, she cruised the western Pacific. In late May she joined units of the United States Navy and of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in HUK ASWEX 3-71. By mid-July, she was in the Mindanao Sea participating in another antisubmarine exercise, this time with units of the Philippine Navy. Sailfish spent a week in Brisbane, Australia, before returning to Pearl Harbor, on 28 August, for overhaul.

The submarine underwent regular overhaul from 20 October 1971 until 14 July 1972. Between July and December, she operated between Hawaii and the California coast, engaged in trials and type training. On 1 December, Sailfish departed San Diego, California, for Yokosuka, Japan, and her third WestPac cruise. She plied the waters of the western Pacific until 4 May 1973, when she departed Subic Bay to return to the United States. She stopped overnight 19/20 May at Pearl Harbor, then continued on to San Diego. For the rest of 1973, she operated off the California coast out of San Diego.

Decommissioning and fate


USS Sailfish (SSR-572)

Decommissioning and fate

Sailfish was decommissioned on 29 September 1978 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register the next day. She was to be disposed of by the Security Assistance Program for cash sale to the Bolivian Navy, but remained berthed at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility at Bremerton, Washington after the fall of the Torrelio government in August 1982. In May 2007 Sailfish was expended as a target in a Fleet Training SINKEX, when a Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo fired from the submarine Topeka sent her to the bottom at 47°05′47″N 127°23′08″W / 47.09639°N 127.38556°W, 121.2 nautical miles (224.5 km; 139.5 mi) off the coast of Washington at a depth of 1,451 fathoms 8,706 ft (2,654 m).

Devonport Management Limited

Devonport Management Limited owned and managed Devonport Royal Dockyard, the largest dockyard in Western Europe from 1987 until 2007.Babcock International and was rebranded Babcock Marine.

History

DML, then owned by Brown & Root and Vickers, was one of three companies bidding for the Devonport contract in 1986. The others were Devonport Dockyard, formed by the then management of the dockyard, and a consortium of Foster Wheeler, Appledore Shipbuilders and Wharton Williams.

The DML ownership structure was restructured in 1987, with Brown & Root, Balfour Beatty and Weir Group each owning 29.9% and Barclays de Zoete Wedd owning 10.3%. Vickers had formed a joint venture with Brown & Root which included its contracting arm. The management contract was awarded to DML on 24 February 1987, with management officially transferred on 6 April 1987Ministry of Defence at this stage.

In June 1993 DML was awarded the contract for refitting of Royal Navy nuclear submarines. This was the result of a two-year highly politicised battle between DML and the management of Rosyth Dockyard in Scotland.

In 1994 GEC acquired Vickers Shipbuilding & Engineering and withdrew it from the DML consortium. At the urging of the Ministry of Defence, Brown & Root took a 51% stake DML. In February 1993 DML purchased the Devonport yard for £40.3 million.

In 1998 Brown & Root's parent, Halliburton indirectly acquired The M. W. Kellogg Company and merged it with Brown & Root to form KBR. In 2006 it was announced that Halliburton would be floating its subsidiary KBR on the stock market, this went ahead against the wishes of the UK government and Ministry of Defence as they felt the floating of KBR would make the DML group unstable. In 2004 DML acquired Appledore Shipbuilders in North Devon.


Devonport Management Limited

In early 2007 it was announced that the DML group was for sale and major players in the world defence industry were rumoured to be interested in buying the company from the current share holders. BAE Systems was one of the companies rumoured to be interested; The Independent on Sunday suggested that the Ministry of Defence was keen to see these combined with BAE's submarine manufacturing facilities.Babcock International instead. Only two companies lodged bids by the closing date; Babcock International and Carlyle Group.

Babcock was announced as the successful bidder for Devonport in a deal that was worth £350 million and would secure them a 100% stake in the company.Babcock Marine, a new sector (of which Rosyth Dockyard is also a part) within its organisation.

The deal was approved by the Ministry of Defence at the end of June 2007.

Stephen Furness (Sunderland MP)

Stephen Noel Furness (18 December 1902 – 14 April 1974), was a British barrister and Liberal National politician. He was Member of Parliament for Sunderland from 1935 to 1945. From 1938 to 1940 he was made a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury.

Background

Furness was born the second son of Sir Stephen Wilson Furness, who was Liberal MP for The Hartlepools. He was younger brother of Sir Christopher Furness, 2nd Baronet. He was educated at Charterhouse School and Oriel College, Oxford.

Professional career

Furness was Called to Bar by Middle Temple in 1927.

Political career

Furness was Liberal candidate for The Hartlepools division of Durham at the 1929 General Election. His father had represented this constituency for the Liberals from 1910 to 1914. The Liberals had lost the seat to the Unionists at the previous election in 1924 by about 3,000 votes. A UK-wide Liberal revival in 1929 helped Furness, but not enough for him to re-take the seat, falling just 138 votes short. He was re-selected by the local Liberal Association to contest the following general election.

In 1931, following the economic crisis, a National Government was formed that included both Liberals and Conservatives. A snap election was called and Liberals were encouraged not to oppose sitting Conservative MPs. Furness thus withdrew as Liberal candidate on 14 October, just 13 days before polling day.

In parliament he was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Sir John Simon, the Liberal National Leader, from 1936 to 1937. He was an Assistant Government Whip from 1937 to 1938 and a Junior Lord of the Treasury from 1938 to 1940.Neville Chamberlain fell in 1940 and Winston Churchill formed his Coalition Government, Furness went to the back benches. He served as a second lieutenant in the 1st Battalion, London Irish Rifles, which was commanded by the MP John Robert Jermain Macnamara. He was unmarried.

At the end of the war, he ran for re-election, again as a Liberal National in harness with a Conservative. However, this time he was defeated as the country turned to the Labour Party. He did not stand for parliament again.

In Greek mythology, Asia (Ancient Greek: Ἀσία) was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.Pompholyge and sister of Libye.

Family

According to Apollodorus, Asia was the wife of the Titan Iapetus, and mother of Atlas, Prometheus,Epimetheus and MenoetiusHesiod gave the name of another Oceanid, Clymene, as their mother.

It is possible that the name Asia became preferred over Hesiod's Clymene to avoid confusion with the Clymene who was mother of Phaethon by Helios in some accounts and must have been perceived as a distinct figure.Herodotus recorded the tradition that the continent Asia was named after Asia whom he called wife of Prometheus rather than mother of Prometheus, perhaps here a simple error rather than genuine variant tradition.Acusilaus and Aeschylus in his Prometheus Bound called Prometheus' wife Hesione.

Herodotus also related a Lydian tradition "that Asia was not named after Prometheus' wife Asia, but after Asies, the son of Cotys, who was the son of Manes, and that from him the Asiad clan at Sardis also takes its name".
