Lepallier River

The Lepallier River is a tributary of the south shore of the Broadback River flowing westward to Rupert Bay, located south of the James Bay. The Lepallier River flows in the municipalities of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality) and Waskaganish (Cree village municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada.

Geography

The hydrographic slopes near the Lepallier River are:

  * north side: Broadback River;
  * east side: Machisipi River, Natouacamisie River;
  * south side: Nottaway River;
  * west side: Nottaway River, Rupert Bay.

The Lepallier River flows northwest between the Nottaway (located to the south) and the Broadback River (located to the north).

This hydrographic slope originates from Rodayer Lake (length: 67 kilometres (42 mi); altitude: 250 metres (820 ft)), located at 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) north of the Nottaway River, at 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north of Desorsons Lake (elevation: 254 metres (833 ft)) and west of Utamikaneu Lake (surrounded by marsh, altitude: 261 metres (856 ft)).

From Lepallier Lake, the Lepallier River flows over 39.3 kilometres (24.4 mi), first to the northwest, then to the north, collecting the waters of the Louvart River (coming from the South-East) and crossing several marsh areas. Its mouth flows to the south bank of the Broadback River, southeast of the Cree village of Waskaganish (Cree village municipality), at 9.4 kilometres (5.8 mi) upstream of the mouth of the latter river, at 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) downstream of the mouth of the Machisipi River and at 11.3 kilometres (7.0 mi) downstream of the mouth of the Natouacamisie River.

Morchella arbutiphila

Morchella arbutiphila is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota), described from the island of Cyprus in 2016. The species is notable for its elongated stipe, which is often longer than the cap's length, its ascospores which are larger than most other species of Morchella, and its highly specific ecological preferences. It is known only from igneous substrates of the Troodos mountains in Cyprus and from a single collection in the Aegean region of Turkey.

Taxonomy and phylogeny

Morchella arbutiphila was described as new to science by Loizides and colleagues, in a 2016 phylogenetic and morphological study of the genus Morchella from the island of Cyprus.lineage was initially detected in Turkey in a 2010 study by Taşkın and colleagues, when it was assigned the informal designator Mel-30, following a collection from Muğla.Molecular analysis of nucleic acid sequences from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the elongation factor EF-1α, and the RNA polymerase II (rpb1, rpb2) regions, placed this species in the Mel-17–34 species complex, strongly supporting it as a monophyletic lineage sister to the Mel-23/24/31/32 subclade, as defined by Richard and colleagues.

Its epithet derives from the Greek word φίλος (friend), and Arbutus, the tree the fungus typically associates with.

Description


Morchella arbutiphila

Description

The fruit bodies are medium- to large-sized and have a markedly elongated stipe, often longer than the cap's length. The cap is conical, ovoid or subspherical, 3–6(–7) cm high by 1–2(–3) cm wide, pinkish-brown, honey-brown, olivaceous-brown, or sometimes with purplish or vinaceous tinges, and is attached to the stipe with a well-defined sinus. The longitudinal ridges are moderately spaced with several anastomoses and in young fruit bodies they are the same colour as the pits, but in maturity they gradually darken creating a sharp contrast. The secondary interconnecting ridges are usually sparse. Pits are numerous, elongated or roundish and more or less vertically aligned. The cylindrical stipe is 3–7(–9) high by 0.9–2(–4) cm wide, white or sometimes with purplish or pinkish tinges at the apex, furfuraceous and weakly to moderately wrinkled. The stipe length is typically equal or longer than the cap. The flesh is firm and thick, with a typical morel odour.


Morchella arbutiphila

The ascospores are large, measuring (22–)23–29(– 31) × (14–)16–17(–18) μm, ellipsoid or subcylindrical, hyaline (translucent) and have external droplets attached to the poles. Although they appear smooth under a light microscope, when viewed in lactophenol cotton blue or under a scanning electron microscope, the spore surface is distinctly longitudinally grooved. The asci (spore-bearing cells) measure 305–385 × 18–29 μm, are cylindrical to clavate, hyaline and have one septum at the base. The paraphyses measure 110–190(–230) × 12–20(–24) μm, are usually slender, irregularly cylindrical and with variously shaped tips, with one septum at the base or sometimes an additional 1–2 septa in the lower third. The acroparaphyses (cells on the sterile ridges) are fasciculate, measure 100–190 × 12–30 μm and are cylindrical to irregularly clavate, with 1–3 septa. The stipe surface is composed of variously sized spherical, subspherical, pear-shaped or subcylindrical cells, with chains of long, distinctly catenulate terminal elements measuring 125–140 × 12–20(– 35) μm.

Habitat and distribution

Morchella arbutiphila is so far known only from Cyprus and Turkey. On Cyprus, it is confined to the igneous and acidic substrates of the Troodos mountain range, fruiting in spring in association with the Greek strawberry tree (Arbutus andrachne).

Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

For other people named Robert Munro, see Robert Munro (disambiguation).

Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet (24 August 1684 – 17 January 1746) was a Scottish military officer and politician whose life followed an 18th-century pattern. He fought in support of the Revolution Settlement and the House of Hanover, and their opposition to all attempts by the Jacobites to restore the House of Stuart either by force of arms or by political intrigue. He was killed at the Battle of Falkirk Muir in 1746.

Early life and career

He was a child when James VII and II lost his throne and the Protestant succession of James's daughter Mary II and son-in-law William III was secured. He was a young man when the involvement of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, in personal union under Queen Anne, sent many Scots to fight under John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, in the War of the Spanish Succession on Continental Europe.

His paternal grandfather Sir John Munro, 4th Baronet and his father Sir Robert Munro, 5th Baronet, were successively chiefs of the Highland Clan Munro: his uncle Andrew was a captain, and several of his relatives served before him in the Royal Scots. It is not surprising, therefore, that the thoughts of young Robert should turn to an army career, and his earliest surviving letter (Oct. 1706) deals with plans for securing a commission, perhaps through the influence of the John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll who was in Scotland for the critical pre-Acts of Union 1707 debates: even service at home was not to be despised, as it "might draw on a greater thing". Anyhow, the commission was soon forthcoming, although its exact date is unknown, and in March 1710, Robert Munro is on record as a Captain in the Royal Scots (then at the Hague, Holland, Dutch Republic), commanded by George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney.Flanders, it is said "with great reputation", and found himself out of employment when the war ended in 1712, and the Treaty of Utrecht brought 30 years of peace to Continental Europe. He then returned to Scotland.

Member of Parliament


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

Member of Parliament

But in the meantime, Robert had received a small part of the family estate from his father, and become a member of the Parliament of Great Britain. His patrimony, of which he received a crown character in 1708, comprised Meikle and Little Clynes and the lands of Drummond, near the present village of Evanton. Scotland's share in the Parliament of Great Britain at the Palace of Westminster was 15 burgh members and 30 from the shires and at the general election of 1710 Robert was chosen under the limited franchise of those days by the northern constituency of Tain Burghs (the burghs of Dingwall, Tain, Dornoch, Wick and Kirkwall), which he was to represent through five more elections for a period of 31 years.

With his Whig sympathies—which probably cost him his rank in the army on his return from Flanders—the young M.P. could always be relied on to oppose Tory measures, including their efforts to subvert the Protestant succession. The health of Queen Anne and the threat of invasion were matters of concern, and some weeks after her death in August 1714, her successor George I of Great Britain arrived from Hanover to assume the throne with Whig support. Robert by now was moving in high political circles, reading his letters from Scotland to Robert Walpole and his colleagues. London politicians liked to think that the Tories in Scotland would give no trouble in taking the oaths to King George, "but I that know them don't believe it", he wrote. When the king was proclaimed at Inverness there was something like a riot, and at Tain people were mustering and arming, with "guards upon all houses".


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

Support for the ministers in office was usually rewarded, just as opposition was penalised. After the arrival of George I, Robert reported sadly more than once that "there is nothing yet done" for him; but in December he was offered and accepted a commission (backdated to 9 August) to replace a Mackenzie as Captain of an Independent Company raised ten years earlier to help in policing the northern Scottish Highlands. This was one of three such companies, forming distinct units unconnected with each other, and responsible for peace and security in their own area—one commanded by Captain Campbell of Fonab operating "besouth the braes of Athole and Angus", Captain William Grant's "benorth Dee", and the third to the north and west of Loch Ness. They wore no special military uniform, being clothed in "plads, tartan coats, trousers and hose" like other Highlanders. Captain Robert Munro (who had John Campbell of Carrick as his first Lieutenant, and Alexander Fraser of Culduthel as second) commanded his company for less than two years, as the events of 1715–1716 brought him another and a more vital role.

Jacobite risings of 1715–1719

During the Jacobite rising of 1715, the standard of rebellion was raised by John Erskine, Earl of Mar, now out of office and out of favour with the new sovereign. In the northern shires John Gordon, 16th Earl of Sutherland was the King's Lieutenant, and the clans Sutherland, Mackay, Ross and Munro could be counted on to support the Government, but the Mackenzies, Macdonalds and Chisholms were Jacobites, and the Frasers of Lovat were divided owing to a disputed chiefship. The old Laird of Foulis, who lived until 1729, had lost his eyesight in early life, and the leadership of the Munros therefore devolved on his sons. Robert was in London when rumours first gained ground that a rising was intended, but his brother George Munro, 1st of Culcairn put the clan in a state of readiness at the beginning of August, and this example was followed by others, in spite of a great shortage of arms, ammunition and money.


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

About a week after Erskine raised the standard on 6 September, the Jacobites occupied Inverness, where William Mackenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth put in a Mackenzie governor. Young Robert Munro of Foulis made a move in that direction, but was stopped before he had crossed the River Conon. Calling on those well disposed to the Government to support him, he then formed an encampment at the bridge of Alness, where he was joined on 5 October by clans Sutherland and Mackay and detachments from further north. Seaforth advanced-with a larger force by way of Dingwall, Clare and Boath, and after some parleying between the two sides and a council of war, the Earl of Sutherland and chief of Mackays withdrew northwards, while the Munros who had been for fighting instead had their country overrun and plundered by the massive Jacobite force. Even the manses were looted and the ministers" libraries scattered (the Presbyterian clergy were anti-Jacobite to a man), and some worse excesses were reported. It was not until 22 October that Seaforth marched south to Perth, and his enemies believed that but for this "diversion" some 4,000 Jacobites from the north would have joined Mar three or four weeks earlier than they did, before Argyll had gathered a sufficient force to oppose them at the Battle of Sheriffmuir.

In November, the Whig lairds of Kilravock and Duncan Forbes of Culloden, now joined by Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat (who had been outlawed and in exile), put pressure on the Jacobite garrison in Inverness, which was delivered upon the very day when Sherriffmuir was fought and another Jacobite force was defeated at the Battle of Preston (1715). Young Foulis marched into the town with 400 Munros and took over control as governor, although his commission (and his brevet of colonel) had been intercepted by the rebels at Perth. James Francis Edward Stuart came and went (he was less than two months in Scotland), Government troops arrived in Inverness towards the end of February, and for some months the process of disarming the rebels went on, helped by a Munro detachment under George Munro, 1st of Culcairn. With the rising suppressed, and the Hanoverian succession firmly established, Colonel Robert's interest with the Government and his own compassionate nature prompted him to mediate on behalf of some of the defeated leaders (including Alexander Macdonell of Glengarry) and their wives and children.


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

In 1719, Robert's younger brother, George Munro, 1st of Culcairn led a detachment of men at the Battle of Glenshiel where they helped to defeat the Jacobites.

Forfeited Estates Commissioner

For the next ten years Robert Munro was kept busy, in addition to his duties as M.P. and landlord, as one of the only three Scots among the 13 M.P.s appointed (by a Commons ballot in June 1716) to be Commissioners for the survey and disposal of the estates of more than 50 attainted Jacobites, "in order to raise money out of them for the use of the public". Each Commissioner received a salary of £1,000 a year, and as they could hold no other public office (though remaining M.P.s), Robert demitted his governorship of Inverness Castle and Independent Company command (both of which were given to Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat). Four English M.P.s joined Robert Munro and his colleague Patrick Haldane for the Scottish part of the commission's business, but they were greatly hindered by the dilatory ways of some members (including Sir Richard Steele, who was fined for non-attendance). When Munro was in Edinburgh he lodged in the Bristo house of William Scott, Professor of Greek language at the University of Edinburgh. Many of the estates were deep in debt before forfeiture, it was not easy to find purchasers, and a balance of little more than £1,000 remained after all the claims, legal fees, and other expenses had been met. In 1725 the Forfeited Estates Commissioners ceased to operate, and the unsold estates were transferred to the Barons of the Exchequer.

Baronet Munro


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

Baronet Munro

After having been the effective leader of the clan for many years, Colonel Robert became Munro of Foulis and the sixth baronet on the death of his father in 1729. As a landowner he pioneered the planting of woodlands, of which he added nearly 500 acres (2 km2) on the Foulis estate. As a heritor and an elder of the Church of Scotland, he was one of those who arranged on behalf of the General Assembly for the spending of £1,000 a year of the "Royal Bounty" on the "reformation" of the Highlands and Islands by means of itinerant preachers and catechists. Described by a clansman as "an obliging, civil, moral gentleman, well beloved of his name", Sir Robert lived on friendly terms with his neighbours. His marriage to a member of a great English family – Mary, daughter of Henry Seymour of Woodlands in Dorset – took place in London in 1716, and the romantic story of a courtship interrupted by the purloining of their letters has been preserved by tradition. Their eldest son Harry was sent to Dr. Doddridge's academy at Northampton, Westminster School and Leiden University. Another son entered the Royal Navy.

Of Sir Robert's activities in Parliament, the almost complete absence of reported debates leaves little to be said. Outside the British House of Commons, we find him at various times trying to secure the reinstatement in a Customs post at Inverness of a neighbour's brother; he took an active part in pressing for Simon Fraser's pardon and succession to the Lovat estates; he helped to find employment for the son of a Mackenzie friend, and for a scape-grace of the Atholl family, but a political foe alleged that as Sheriff of Ross he had a Mackenzie sheriff-substitute stripped of office and replaced by a Munro.


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

The clan rivalries which had erupted in rebellion were finding an outlet in local politics. The chief of Mackenzie's Earl of Seaforth came to an end in 1716, and it seems to have been arranged that while the Rosses held the county seat the Munros would represent the Tain Burghs. To secure the burghs, control of three out of the five was necessary, and the manoeuvrings by which the councils were persuaded to send the "right" delegate to vote in parliamentary elections were often exciting, and even a show of force was likely. Ross ascendancy was secure in Tain, and from 1716 to 1745 the Munros controlled Dingwall, with Robert of one of his brothers as provost—but not without something like two armed Munro "invasions" of the county town in 1721 and 1740, when opposing councillors were abducted to secure a favourable result (for the first incident Colonel Robert and his brother were fined £200 each,

Lieutenant-colonel of the 43rd Highlanders

This probably mattered less to Sir Robert, as he was now securely back in the British Army. The Independent Companies, disbanded after the Jacobite rising, had been revived by General George Wade, and in 1739 the six companies were increased to ten and formed into a regular Highland regiment 780 strong under his command—famous in military history as the 43rd Highlanders, (later re-numbered the 42nd), Royal Highland Regiment, or Black Watch. Their uniform, approved personally by George II of Great Britain when Sir Robert presented a sergeant and private soldier to His Majesty in London in 1740, included a kilt of dark green "military" tartan, belted plaid, and blue bonnet with black cockade. The regiment's first colonel was John Lindsay, 20th Earl of Crawford, who was briefly succeeded by Hugh Sempill, 12th Lord Sempill, but Sir Robert Munro as lieutenant-colonel had the chief responsibility during the formative years.


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

Among the Captains were his brother George Munro, 1st of Culcairn, Campbell of Carrick, and a cousin John Munro, 4th of Newmore. The surgeon was George Munro, 3rd of Auchinbowie, a distant clansmen. After mustering beside the Tay near Aberfeldy, and continuing the duties of the previous Independent Companies for some time in Northern Scotland, the regiment was ordered to London in 1743, where a serious incident occurred. Believing that they would not be required to serve abroad, and alarmed by rumours that they were to be sent to the American plantations, about 200 men (without their officers) decided to return home and began the long march north. They were overtaken at Oundle, Northamptonshire, where Newmore was one of the officers who disarmed and persuaded them to return. Three of those condemned to death by court-martial were shot, and the remainder transported to the British West Indies: although they blamed the Government, and not their officers, for a breach of faith, it was an unfortunate start to what was to become a remarkable record of service.

Highlanders on display to the King

It is recorded by General Stewart of Garth that King George II of Great Britain having never seen a Highland soldier expressed a desire to see one.broadsword exercise, and showed their skill in handling the Lochaber axe before his Majesty the king, Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, Marshal George Wade and a number of general officers.

War in France

War on Continental Europe was moving towards a direct confrontation between the Kingdom of Great Britain and France under Louis XV, and the regiment embarked immediately for Flanders. There the men earned high praise for their behaviour towards the civilian population, and the regiment became a favourite choice as guardians of property; Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria told his envoy in London that this was owing to Sir Robert's care, "for whose sake he should always pay a regard to a Scotchman".


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

Their first action against the French came on 11 May 1745 at the Battle of Fontenoy. A British army under Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland faced the forces of Maurice, comte de Saxe and was defeated, but the "Highland furies" (as one Frenchman called them) saved it from disaster by their gallantry. Allowed "their own way of fighting" by the young Commander-in-Chief, each time they received the French fire Sir Robert ordered his men to "clap to the ground" (while he himself, because of his corpulence, stood alone with the colours behind him), and then springing up and closing with the enemy, they several times drove them back, and finished with a successful rear-guard action.

Jacobite rising of 1745–1746

In June 1745, a little more than a month after the battle of Fontenoy, Sir Robert was "rewarded" by an appointment to succeed General Ponsonby (who was killed at Fontenoy) as Colonel of the English 37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot.Jacobite rising of 1745 broke out, his friends in the Highlands hoped for his presence among them (one wrote that it would have been "the greatest service to His Majesty and the common cause"), but it was not to be.

Robert's regiment was brought over by sea to Newcastle upon Tyne. Meanwhile, his son Harry Munro and brother George Munro joined Sir John Cope with the able-bodied men of the Clan Munro.

"Munro's 37th Foot" made from English soldiers formed part of the force which operated under George Wade's ineffective command in Northern England. Ordered to Scotland, they reached Edinburgh early in January, in time to march out and form part of the left wing of the force led by Henry Hawley which met the Jacobites in a storm of rain and hail at the Battle of Falkirk Muir.Donald Cameron of Lochiel's regiment. Robert defended himself for some time with his half-pike and managed to kill two of the Jacobites.


Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet

By the orders of George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromartie, Sir Robert Munro was honourably buried in Falkirk churchyard, by men of the Clan MacDonald,snuff mull was found in his pocket after the battle by David Monro of Allan who was the Edinburgh Law Agent for the Munro of Foulis family, and it is (as of Mackenzie writing in 1898) still preserved at Allan House.

Legacy

The Munro monument, Trinity Church, Falkirk

A monument was later erected for Sir Robert Munro in Falkirk churchyard. An entry in the Falkirk Parish Church accounts for October 1750 shows: "Present for the poor from Sir Harry Munro, five guineas, for the privilege of a Tomb upon Sir Robert, my Father, in the Church-yard". With elaborate decoration, and inscriptions in Latin and English language, which were renewed in 1848 and again in 1901, the monument was left in position when neighbouring stones were cleared away a few in years ago. Now, by its latest restoration, it is once more a fitting reminder of the man it commemorates: "Sincere and active in the service of his friends, humane and forgiving to his enemies, generous and benevolent to all, his death was universally regretted even by those who slew him."

 5. Simon Munro, (1741–1790), although not mentioned as a son of Sir Robert Munro, 6th Baronet by Mackenzie, other sources claim that one Simon Munro who was a slave trader and who had a plantation in the Province of Georgia granted to him by George III of the United Kingdom was the son of Sir Robert and his wife Mary Seymour. However, the year of Simon's birth, 1741, is nine years after the death of Mary Seymour in 1732 so she could not have been his mother. Simon was apparently a 9th son and therefore had no inheritance and so he went to America and built up a mercantile business. Simon left five children: Elizabeth, Harry, Jane Seymour, Amarintha and Ann West Munro.

Kautz Creek

Kautz Creek is a tributary of the Nisqually River, flowing from the Kautz Glacier, with its watershed in the Mount Rainier National Park of Washington. It drains southwest from Mount Rainier for about 6 miles (9.7 km) before it joins the Nisqually River near Mount Rainier Highway. It is notable for being a severe flooding hazard due to the volume of summer glacier melt and its frequently changing course. The 400-foot (120 m) Kautz Creek Falls on the headwaters of the creek was formed by the retreat of the Kautz Glacier in the past 50 years.

Kautz Creek was named after A. V. Kautz, an army officer and mountain climber.

Hydrology

The channel of Kautz Creek is very steep and narrow, because it has eroded through the relatively soft material that the lahars and mudflows have deposited. The creek flows in a trench that is 100 to 200 feet (30 to 61 m) wide and up to 75 feet (23 m) deep, and its course often changes during floods.

Lahars

The creek is notorious for its history of severe floods and mudflows. On October 2 and 3, 1947, heavy rains triggered a jökulhaup (glacial lake outburst flood) from the Kautz Glacier- the largest flood after the establishment of the park. The flood (similar to a volcanic lahar) moved 40,000,000 cubic metres (1.4×109 cu ft) of earth and boulders of up to 13 feet (4.0 m) in diameter for 6 miles (9.7 km). It buried the Nisqually-Longmire Road under 30 feet (9.1 m) of debris, and carved a canyon 300 feet (91 m) deep. Other large debris flows have occurred in the Kautz Creek watershed in 1961, 1985, and 1986, with small debris flows occurring more frequently.

Ray Charnley

Raymond Ogden Charnley (29 May 1935 – 15 November 2009) was an English professional footballer. He was a centre forward and was one of the most prolific scorers for Blackpool, with whom he spent ten years, including all but one season in the top flight of English football.

With 193 goals in 363 league games, Charnley is the third-highest scorer in Blackpool's history, behind Jimmy Hampson and Stan Mortensen.

In a playing career spanning eighteen years, Charnley also played for Morecambe (with whom he began and ended his career), Preston North End, Wrexham and Bradford Park Avenue. He scored a total of 293 career league goals in 605 games.

He won one England cap, in 1962.

There have been Blackpool footballers who have played more games for the club than Ray Charnley; and there have been men who have contributed more league goals to the Bloomfield Road cause than the tall, rangy Lancastrian centre-forward. But on both counts, from faithful fans of the Seasiders whose memories stretch back half a century and beyond, there would have to come the heartfelt and grateful rider: not many

— From Ray Charnley's obituary in The Independent

Club career

Early career

Born in Lancaster, Lancashire, Charnley started out as a teenager in the Preston North End B team. When the team was disbanded, he joined North Lancashire and District Football League side Bolton-le-Sands. He later signed as a part-time professional with non-League Morecambe, in the Lancashire Combination, joining them from for £15 in September 1954, whilst also working as a painter and decorater apprentice.

He made his Morecambe debut on 29 September, in a 5–2 defeat at Lancaster City in the Lancashire Combination Cup. In his three seasons at Christie Park he was a regular scorer. In the 1956–57 season he scored 31 goals in 37 league games and 12 goals in 15 cup games.

Blackpool


Ray Charnley

Blackpool

On 27 May 1957, Charnley moved to nearby Blackpool, who were then in the First Division, the top flight of English football, for £750.Joe Smith. After being injured in pre-season training, the 22-year-old first played three reserve-team games before making his first-team debut in September, a 2–0 defeat at Luton Town. A month later, he scored two goals in Blackpool's record home victory, 7–0 against Sunderland,1957–58 season as the club's third-highest scorer, with 12 goals in 20 games, behind Jackie Mudie and Bill Perry, who both netted 18. At the end of the season he was voted as the club's "most promising player".

Charnley eventually teamed up with Jackie Mudie, a move inspired by Joe Smith and later used to good effect by his successor as Blackpool manager, Ron Suart. Charnley was the Seasiders' top scorer for nine seasons., including five consecutive seasons starting in 1958–59, when he scored a total of 26 goals (20 in 35 league games and six in six games in the FA Cup). He had started that season by scoring three goals in the first two games. Then, after scoring against Aston Villa in a 1–1 draw on 20 September 1958, he collided with Villa goalkeeper Nigel Sims and suffered a broken clavicle, which caused him to miss the next seven games. On 4 April 1959, he scored his first league hat-trick, in a 3–0 win over Leeds United.

He again scored three goals in his first two games in 1959–60; however, he then went five games without scoring and was relegated to the reserve team. After eight games in the second string, he returned to the first team, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Leeds United on 5 March 1960. He finished the season on 18 goals. In 1960–61, Blackpool struggled against relegation. On 15 April 1961, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over Newcastle United at Bloomfield Road, a result that secured safety for Blackpool. He finished the season on 27 goals.


Ray Charnley

He was my room-mate for 10 years and one of my closest friends. The money Blackpool paid to Morecambe must go down as their best-ever signing – apart from Stanley Matthews, of course. Jack Charlton once told me that he hated playing against Ray.

— Former teammate at Blackpool, Jimmy Armfield on Charnley

His most goals came in 1961–62: 36 goals (30 in the league and six in the League Cup).Wolverhampton Wanderers. Then on 3 February, against Nottingham Forest he scored his 100th league goal in only his 156th gameHarry Bedford – playing his best football alongside Alan Ball.

He scored Blackpool's opening goal of the 1962–63 season, in a 2–1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. He scored two hat-tricks that season – firstly, in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa on 29 March 1963, and then in a 6–3 victory over Birmingham City on 20 April. The following season was the first time he did not score in his first game, but he then scored one in each of the next two games. After a run of eight goals in 24 games, he was left out of the side. In March 1964, he was placed on the transfer list, before being removed when no other club came in for him. Alan Ball finished the season as the leading scorer in the league, with 13 goals to Charnley's ten. However, Charnley was overall top scorer as he also scored five in cup games. The 1964–65 season saw Charnley score eight goals in the opening nine games. This occurred while he was on a month-to-month contract because he could not agree the new terms that the club had offered. On 1 October 1964, he signed a new deal, earning £24 a week, with an extra £5 when he played in the first team. That season, he only missed four games through injury and finished with 21 goals.

In May and June 1965, Charnley was a member of the Blackpool squad that played in New Zealand for the B.O.A.C. Trophy against Sheffield United. A total of eleven games were played, and Charnley was Blackpool's top scorer, with five goals.


Ray Charnley

Charnley, once again, began the 1965–66 season by scoring in the opening game, a 2–2 draw with Fulham. He missed just one game all season and lead, jointly with Alan Ball, the scoring in the league, with 16 goals, although he was again overall top scorer with another three cup goals. The 1966–67 saw Blackpool finish bottom of the First Division and relegated to the Second Division, although Charnley was again top scorer on 14 goals. He also scored six goals in the League Cup as Blackpool reached the fifth round, including a hat-trick in a second-round 5–1 win over Manchester United.

He started the 1967–68 season, with Blackpool then in the Second Division, in typical fashion: scoring in his first game, a 2–0 victory over arch-rivals Preston North End; however, after two more league games, and after a home defeat at the hands of Millwall, 'Pool manager Stan Mortensen made the unpopular decision and dropped Charnley into the reserve team, with Gerry Ingram being moved to centre forward. After eight goals in nine reserve games, Charnley made one more first-team appearance, scoring in a 2–0 win over Crystal Palace.

Move to Preston North End, then Wrexham and Bradford Park Avenue

After signing for Preston North End, Charnley returned to face Blackpool nine days later, and scored, though the Tangerines won 4–1. He scored four goals in 23 league games for Preston, who just avoided relegation at the end of the 1967–68 season, finishing third-bottom, while former club Blackpool just missed out on promotion back to the First Division on goal average.

In 1968, Charnley signed for Fourth Division side Wrexham, scoring a total of seven goals in 24 games in all competitions before moving to Bradford Park Avenue in January 1969.

They finished bottom of the Fourth Division in the 1968–69 season. The following season they again finished bottom, but this time lost their application for re-election and were voted out of the Football League and dropped into the Northern Premier League. He scored fifteen goals in 59 league games for the Avenue that season.

Return to Morecambe


Ray Charnley

Return to Morecambe

At the end of the season, Charnley re-signed for former club Morecambe, who were by then playing in the Northern Premier League. He made 24 league starts in 1970–71, finishing the season as top scorer with 13 goals. After 14 games in the 1971–72 season, he was released. His last game came on Good Friday 1972, when he scored in a 3–0 home win over Chorley. In his two stints with Morecambe, Charnley scored a total of 98 goals in 177 appearances in all competitions. After his release, Charnley retired from football, at the age of 37.

International career

Despite his goalscoring record, Charnley won just one England cap, in 1962, when he received a call-up for a 1964 European Nations' Cup Preliminary round game against France on 3 October at Hillsborough."No, I thought I might have been given another chance. But I was not surprised when I was dropped. I just could not get into the match. I think four of the five forwards were making their first, and last, appearances."

English FA World Tour

In May and June 1961, Charnley was a member of the squad for The English FA World Tour. He played in seven games, scoring a total of eleven goals.

Rifle Camp Park

Rifle Camp Park is a 225-acre (0.9 km2)Passaic County, New Jersey. It is located mostly within Woodland Park, but its eastern edge extends into Clifton as well. The park includes hiking trails, an observatory, nature center, fitness trail, amphitheater, a bird watching blind, and an overnight camping facility for local scout organizations.

History

Rifle Camp Park was established from the same land acquired for the creation of the nearly adjacent Garret Mountain Reservation. The land was originally part of the estate of Catholina Lambert, the owner of a silk mill in Paterson. After Lambert’s death in 1923, the estate was sold to the City of Paterson, which eventually transferred the land to Passaic County in 1928.Olmsted Associates, the successor to the practice of Frederick Law Olmsted, was commissioned with the development of the parkland, completing work in 1934.

Ever since the division of the Lambert estate between Garret Mountain Reservation and Rifle Camp Park, it has been proposed to connect the two. As of 2011, the Borough of Woodland Park has been discussing ways to link the almost adjacent properties.

Colonial Past

The area of Rifle Camp Park served as a location where Washington’s troops could observe British movements during the Revolutionary War in 1780. The name ‘Rifle Camp’ comes from the fact that Major James Parr’s rifle corps camped for a short time in the vicinity of the Great Notch, just to the south of what would eventually become the park.Daniel Morgan) previously achieved notice in the Sullivan Expedition in 1779.Lafayette’s Light Corps in the vicinity of present-day Goffle Brook Park on the opposite side of the Passaic River.

The land that would become Rifle Camp Park was also host to the farm of Thomas Ryder, a loyalist. It is at Ryder’s farm that Joshua Hett Smith, a lawyer from Haverstraw, New York who aided the treasonous Benedict Arnold and British Major John André, was supposedly granted hospitality during his escape from American imprisonment.

Description


Rifle Camp Park

Description

Rifle Camp Park sits on the ridgeline of Garret Mountain, a section of First Watchung Mountain. It is extensively forested, containing only a few open areas. Due to the local geology, large trap rock outcrops are abundant throughout the property. The eastern limit of the parkland consists of nearly vertical basalt cliffs that provide panoramic views of the surrounding area. To the west is the Great Notch Reservoir, whose headwaters partly lie within the park and comprise the source of the Third River. Along the south end of the park there is a former quarry being turned over to housing development.

The park is accessed via Rifle Camp Road in Woodland Park, near the intersection with Overmount Ave. The main driveway leads to five parking areas, with the first area adjacent to the amphitheater and the fifth area adjacent to the observatory/nature center.

Sir Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet

Sir Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet of Foulis (died 1668), 21st Baron and 24th chief of the Clan Munro was a 17th-century Scottish soldier and politician.

Robert succeeded to the head of his house upon the death of his cousin, Sir Hector Munro, 2nd Baronet of Foulis, who died at just 17 years of age in 1651. As the eldest surviving son of Col. John Munro, 2nd of Obsdale, his elder brother having pre-deceased him, Robert was the 4th head of the Munro of Obsdale family but was also a direct descendant and great-grandson of Robert Mor Munro, 15th Baron of Foulis (died 1588).

Thirty Years' War

As a young man Robert entered the army in 1626 and became an officer in Donald Mackay's regiment, serving first in Danish service and later in Swedish service where he highly distinguished himself during the Thirty Years' War on the continent, particularly during the Battle of Lutzen in 1632.Alexander Mackenzie there were three Generals, eight Colonels, five Lieutenant-Colonels, eleven Majors and above thirty Captains, besides a large number of other soldiers all of the name Munro in the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War.

Sheriff of Ross and Inverness

On 26 August 1643, during the minority of the former chief, "the Estates of the Kingdom passed an Act for the Committees of War in the shires of Scotland", and among the Commissioners for the Sheriffdom of Sutherland and a part of Inverness-shire, occurs the name of "Sir Robert Munro, tutour of Foulles"; and again on 24 July 1644, in a commission for a similar purpose and for the same Sheriffdom is found the name of "Sir Robert Monro, Tutor of Foullis".

In 1649, the Scottish Parliament separated from the Sheriffdom of Inverness-shire the "lands eastward of Altnalait, Knockravock and the Royal Burgh of Tain", erected the Sheriffdom of Ross, and appointed the Marquiss of Argyll the Sheriff-Principal. Afterwards the commission was granted to Sir Robert Munro, who had been elected Member of Parliament for Inverness-shire in 1649 and for his own County of Ross after it was separated from the County of Inverness, 1649–50, to be Sheriff-Principal of the County of Ross.


Sir Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet

In 1651, Robert succeeded to the head of his house, upon the death of his cousin Sir Hector Munro, 2nd Baronet of Foulis who died at just 17 years of age, as already mentioned. Robert took up his residence in Foulis Castle.

Feud with Alexander Chisholm

In 1654, men of the Clan Chisholm raided lands belonging to Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet of Foulis. Valentine Chisholm and four other "delinquents" plundered 85 cows and 23 horses. Robert wisely pursued the matter through the courts of Oliver Cromwell. Robert Munro of Foulis accused Alexander Chisholm of Comar of allowing his kinsman to carry out the raid.

The court found Robert Munro of Foulis in favour and instructed Alexander Chisholm to produce Valentine Chisholm, who was "known for his barbarity", and his four followers in court within fifteen days, compensate Foulis and his kinsmen for their losses and also to provide a £1,000 bond as security for future good behaviour.

Whilst Robert Munro's lands were raided and his tenants abused, his younger brother George Munro, 1st of Newmore later commanded the king's forces in Scotland from 1674 to 1677.

Family

Robert Munro married before he succeeded as 3rd Baronet of Foulis. He married his 2nd cousin Jean Munro, daughter of Sir Hector Munro, 1st Baronet of Foulis. They had eight children:

 1. Sir John Munro, 4th Baronet of Foulis.
 2. Hector Munro, who married Ann Fraser and according to historian Alexander Mackenzie, had seventeen children - all but two of which died in infancy.
 3. David Munro, who attained the rank of captain in the Army.

Vadim Bakatin 1991 presidential campaign

The 1991 presidential campaign of Vadim Bakatin was the candidacy of KGB Chairman Vadim Bakatin in the 1991 Russian presidential election.

Bakatin's running mate was Ramazan Abdulatipov.

Bakatin ultimately placed last in the election out of six candidates, receiving 2,719,757 votes (3.5% of the votes cast).

Background

Bakatin had previously been put forth as a candidate for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's nomination for the 1990 Soviet Union presidential election. However, he decided not to compete.

It had been rumored in late-April 1991 that Bakatin was going to be selected as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's nominee in the Russian presidential election.

In mid-May Bakatin, reportedly, had agreed to be Boris Yeltsin's running mate. However, he was ultimately persuaded by Mikhail Gorbachev to challenge Yeltsin for the presidency instead.

Campaigning

Launching his campaign in mid-May, Bakatin selected chairman of the Council of Nationalities of the RSFSR Supreme Soviet Ramazan Abdulatipov (one of presidential frontrunner Boris Yeltsin's primary political rivals) to be his running mate. He hoped that Abdulatipov would help him to appeal to voters in the Autonomous Republics of Russia, who cumulatively made-up 14% of the Russian electorate.

Despite the fact that the Communist Party of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic had officially had backed Nikolai Ryzhkov, upon Bakatin's entry into the race some members of the party commented that they believed that Bakatin would be a superior candidate to face Yeltsin in a second-round of the election.Ryzhkov's campaigns.

Bakatin campaigned vigorously.

Outcome

Bakatin's last-place finish was seen as a surprise. Particularly surprising was that he had been significantly outperformed by the campaign of nationalist politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky (who had a surprise third-place finish).

Platform

As a candidate, Bakatin sought to present himself as a liberal-leaning centrist.

Bakatin dubbed himself to be the "only independent" candidate in the election.


Bakatin asserted that it was imperative that whoever won the election would need to pass anti-corruption legislation as well as a legal act on state service. He criticized the Russian government for being inactive and allowing corruption to spread throughout itself.

Bakatin said that he personally favored private ownership of land, but condemned Yeltsin's efforts to force privatization through, arguing that the general population was not yet ready for such reforms.

He derided Gorbachev's foreign economic policy as a, "humiliating search for whoever will give us loans."

Sir Robert Pigot, 4th Baronet

Sir Robert Pigot, 4th Baronet (3 November 1801 – 1 June 1891), was a British Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1832 and 1853.

Pigot was the son of General Sir George Pigot, 3rd Baronet and his wife Mary Anne Monckton.

At the 1832 general election, Pigot was elected as Conservative Member of Parliament for Bridgnorth. He held the seat until 1837. He was re-elected in 1838 and held the seat until 1853 when his election in 1852 was declared void.baronetcy in 1841. He was Deputy Lieutenant of Shropshire.

He married Emily Georgiana Elise Benyon of Ash Hall, Whitchurch, Shropshire.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (2007)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (2007) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was the very first CMLL Torneo Gran Alternativa professional wrestling tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). The tournament was held on June 29, 2007, in Mexico City, Mexico at CMLL's main venue, Arena México. The Gran Alternativa tournament features tag teams composed of a rookie, or novato, and a veteran wrestler for an elimination tournament. The idea is to feature the novato wrestlers higher on the card that they usually work and help elevate one or more up the ranks. CMLL made the Torneo Gran Alternativa an annual event in 1995, only skipping it four times between 1994 and 2017. since it is a professional wrestling tournament, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decisions of the bookers of a wrestling promotion that is not publicized prior to the shows to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

The 2007 Gran Alternativa tournament was the 13th overall tournament held. Veteran Último Guerrero and rookie Euforia qualified for the finals by defeating Villaño V and Super Comando in the first round and Dos Caras Jr. and Valiente in the second round. 2004 winner Místico teamed with rookie La Sombra to defeat Marco Corleone and Flash in the first round, then Dr. Wagner Jr. and Máscara Purpura, before toppling Guerrero and Euforia in the finals, making Místico the first rookie winner to also win the Gran Alternativa as a veteran.El Sagrado and Volador Jr. to win the Mexican National Trios Championship as well as holding one-half of the CMLL World Tag Team Championship with Volador Jr.

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 with the purpose of increasing the profile of the rookie wrestler.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (2007)

CMLL had used a similar concept in August 1994 where Novato Shocker teamed up with veterans Ringo Mendoza and Brazo de Plata to defeat novato Apolo Dantés and veterans Gran Markus Jr. and El Brazo in the finals of a six-man tag team tournament.tag teams instead, creating a tournament that would be known as El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "The Great Alternative Tournament", which became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar. CMLL did not hold a Gran Alternativa tournament in 1997 and 2000, but held on each year from 2001 through 2007.

Self-organized criticality control

In applied physics, the concept of controlling self-organized criticality refers to the control of processes by which a self-organized system dissipates energy. The objective of the control is to reduce the probability of occurrence of and size of energy dissipation bursts, often called avalanches, of self-organized systems. Dissipation of energy in a self-organized critical system into a lower energy state can be costly for society, since it depends on avalanches of all sizes usually following a kind of power law distribution and large avalanches can be damaging and disruptive.

Schemes

Several strategies have been proposed to deal with the issue of controlling self-organized criticality:

 1. The design of controlled avalanches. Daniel O. Cajueiro and Roberto F. S. Andrade show that if well-formulated small and medium avalanches are exogenously triggered in the system, the energy of the system is released in a way that large avalanches are rarer.
 2. The modification of the degree of interdependence of the network where the avalanche spreads. Charles D. Brummitt, Raissa M. D'Souza and E. A. Leicht show that the dynamics of self-organized critical systems on complex networks depend on connectivity of the complex network. They find that while some connectivity is beneficial (since it suppresses the largest cascades in the system), too much connectivity gives space for the development of very large cascades and increases the size of capacity of the system.
 3. The modification of the deposition process of the self-organized system. Pierre-Andre Noel, Charles D. Brummitt and Raissa M. D'Souza show that it is possible to control the self-organized system by modifying the natural deposition process of the self-organized system adjusting the place where the avalanche starts.
 4. Dynamically modifying the local thresholds of cascading failures. In a model of an electric transmission network, Heiko Hoffmann and David W. Payton demonstrated that either randomly upgrading lines (sort of like preventive maintenance) or upgrading broken lines to a random breakage threshold suppresses self-organized criticality.

Applications

There are several events that arise in nature or society and that these ideas of control may help to avoid:


Self-organized criticality control

1. Flood caused by systems of dams and reservoirs or interconnected valleys.
 2. Snow avalanches that take place in snow hills.
 3. Forest fires in areas susceptible to a lightning bolt or a match lighting.
 4. Cascades of load shedding that take place in power grids (a type of power outage). The OPA model is used to study different techniques for criticality control.
 5. Cascading failure in the internet switching fabric.
 6. Ischemic cascades, a series of biochemical reactions releasing toxins during moments of inadequate blood supply.
 7. Systemic risk in financial systems.
 8. Excursions in nuclear energy systems.
 9. Earthquakes and induced seismicity.

The failure cascades in electrical transmission and financial sectors occur because economic forces that push for efficiency cause these systems to operate near a critical point, where avalanches of indeterminate size become possible. Financial investments that are vulnerable to this kind of failure may exhibit a Taleb distribution.
