New Ferry Butterfly Park

New Ferry Butterfly Park is a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) urban nature reserve in New Ferry, on the Wirral Peninsula, England. It is managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust.

The reserve is located on a site formerly occupied by abandoned sidings north of Bebington railway station. On the thin, nutrient-poor soils overlying the old railway track beds, the lime waste from a water-softening plant has been used to create a calcareous grassland, with all the specialist wildflowers which depend on that habitat, including wild carrot and occasional bee orchids. Drifts of coal dust have been transformed into acidic grassland dominated by common bent, sheep's sorrel and bird's-foot trefoil. The reserve supports at least 397 species, including butterflies, moths, bees and spiders.

In recent years, the reserve has hosted an open-air sculpture trail.

Recent history

The Cheshire Wildlife Trust (CWT) was granted tenancy over the land in 1993 by the site's owner at the time, the British Railways Board. In 1997, Frithmere Ltd. (a subsidiary of Brock PLC of Ellesmere Port) bought the land in an open auction. In 2009 New Ferry Butterfly Park was threatened with closure when CWT was told to vacate the site by Frithmere. As an alternative site for the reserve, Frithmere's agent had suggested Bromborough Dock landfill, which belonged to Biffa. (This site was later opened as to the public as Port Sunlight River Park, leased by The Land Trust and managed by Wirral Autistic Society (with CWT members as ecological advisors) from 2014).

In January 2010, a secret report to the Wirral Council, backed by petitions signed by thousands of people, recommended that officials issue a compulsory purchase order to buy the reserve and prevent its closure.


New Ferry Butterfly Park

On 29 June 2011, however, the Liverpool County Court rejected Frithmere's notice to quit, as it was issued under the incorrect legislation. Although the judge left it open to Frithmere to serve a notice to quit under the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1954, he warned the firm that it would be difficult to succeed and refused to allow an appeal, since, according to the judge, "The only grounds on which I can conceive it succeeding are on redevelopment of the site, and there may be difficulty in securing planning permission in view of the nature of this land."

The short-term lease currently makes it difficult to apply for grants or to build an all-season visitor centre. However, the site has a composting toilet and indoor space in a cargo container. The Park is open Sunday afternoons 12-4pm, May–September, and 2nd Sunday of the month, 10am-4pm, October–April. Guided visits other times by appointment - see www.cheshirewildlifetrust.org.uk

Mumu (computer worm)

Mumu is a computer worm that was isolated in June 2003.

Description

Mumu consists of a mix of malicious files and actual utilities. Because of the easily customised nature of this worm, many variants have been discovered, but most are generically detected under the Mumu.A name. The lone exception is Mumu.B, which is detected separately by most antivirus programs.

The "standard" Mumu package consists of the following:

  * A range of malicious batch files
  * A number of "grey area" batch files, which use the utilities included in the Mumu package in a malicious way
  * pcGhost and/or an nVidia utility, both of which are legitimate utilities
  * Other various legitimate utilities
  * A number of text files

As previously mentioned, this varies by version. Mumu spreads by scanning IP addresses for open administrative network shares. It then attempts to guess the password to gain access and copy itself over.

Heavy correlation of Mumu infections with infections of the Valla virus have been observed. It is suspected that Mumu caused a resurgence in Valla infections after Valla infected one of the .exe files included in the Mumu package. Previous to this, Valla was considered obsolete. It now ranks among the most-reported viruses on the WildList.

True North: Symphonic Ballet

True North: Symphonic Ballet is a pièce d'occasion commissioned by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.

The work was co-ordinated by composer and artistic director Vincent Ho, who brought together four more Canadian composers, Dinuk Wijeratne from Halifax, Montreal's Maxime McKinley, Dorothy Chang of Vancouver, and Derek Charke of Wolfville, along with pow-wow musician Hal Eagletail.

Each composer contributed a movement: Eagletail performed the prelude and postlude; the first movement was Wijeratne's "First Winter".

The dance was choreographed by Yukichi Hattori. The combined music and dance was premiered at the True North Festival in 2017, with Gary Kulesha conducting the Calgary Philharmonic.

USS Saidor

USS Saidor (CVE-117) was a Commencement Bay-class escort carrier of the United States Navy.

Originally named the Saltery Bay, she was renamed on 5 June 1944, was laid down on 29 September 1944 by Todd-Pacific Shipyards, Inc., Tacoma, Washington; launched on 17 March 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Walter F. Boone; and commissioned on 4 September 1945, Capt. A. P. Storrs in command.

Following shakedown off the United States west coast, she served at Pearl Harbor from 12 December 1945 to 20 March 1946. Sailing via the Panama Canal, she operated at Norfolk, Va., from 16 April to 22 April, before returning via the Panama Canal to the west coast. Departing San Diego on 6 May, Saidor arrived at Bikini on the 24th to serve as a photographic laboratory for the atomic bomb testing program, Operation Crossroads. She processed film, documenting the destructive power of atomic weapons on selected targets at various ranges, during the nuclear explosions of 1 July and 25 July. She departed Bikini on 4 August and returned to San Diego where she remained into 1947, when she began inactivation.

Saidor was decommissioned on 12 September 1947 and berthed with the Pacific Reserve Fleet at San Diego. Reclassified CVHE-117 on 12 June 1955, and AKV-17 on 7 May 1959, she remained in the Reserve Fleet until 1 December 1970 when she was struck from the Navy list. She was sold to American Ship Dismantlers, Portland, Oreg., for scrapping on 22 October 1971.

True Motives v Mahdi

True Motives 84 (Pty) Ltd v Mahdi and Anotheramicus curiae.

Facts

The appellant, True Motives 84 (Pty) Ltd, and the first respondent, Mahdi, were owners of adjoining properties. When the first respondent undertook extensive renovations to his property, the appellant objected, challenging the approval of the relevant building plans. The court a quo dismissed the application, and on appeal the issues were confined to

  * the proper interpretation of the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act;
  * the duties of a local authority with regard to the approval of building plans; and
  * the validity of the delegation of power to the plans examiner.

Judgment

The court held that the appellant's case rested on the validity of the following propositions:

 1. that, on a proper interpretation of section 7 of the Act, a local authority must be satisfied that the erection of a building, in consequence of its approval of a plan, will not derogate from the value of a neighbouring property; and
 2. that the evidence led to the necessary inference that the decision-maker had either not applied his mind to derogation of value or had done so in a superficial manner which fell short of achieving the satisfaction which section 7(1)(b)(ii) required of him.

The court first considered the proper scope of the duties that section 7(1)(a) and (b) of the Act imposes on a local authority. On a proper interpretation of section 7(1)(a), the local authority must refuse approval of plans where the plans do not comply with the Act and any other applicable law, and also when the local authority remains in doubt as to the scope of the plans. Thus, the test imposed by section 7(1)(a) requires the local authority to be positively satisfied that the parameters of the test laid down are met.


True Motives v Mahdi

Next, the court turned to consider whether the facts justified the appellant's complaint that the person considering the plans did not apply his mind or, if he did, should have been satisfied that its property would probably suffer a reduction in value if the building were erected. The court found that the issues raised by the appellant in his objection to first respondent's renovations were all considered by the authority. The appellant was unable to show that the local authority misdirected itself in either its legal interpretation or factual application of section 7(1)(b)(ii) and, accordingly, failed to establish any basis for the court to have interfered in the exercise of its discretion.

The court also found no merit in the challenge to the delegation of power to the plans examiner. The majority of the court therefore dismissed the appeal.

The minority judgment was based on the interpretation of the Act. The minority view was that the majority judgment's interpretation was contrived, and that the ordinary meaning of section 7 should be accepted.

Paid in Advance

Paid in Advance is a 1919 American silent drama film set during the Alaska Gold Rush, from the story The Girl Who Dared by James Oliver Curwood. The film was directed by Allen Holubar, who wrote the screen adaption as well. The movie stars Dorothy Phillips, Joseph W. Girard, Lon Chaney, and Priscilla Dean.

A still exists showing the lead heroine holding Bateese Le Blanc (Lon Chaney) at gunpoint.

Synopsis

John Gray, an old fur trapper, lives with his beautiful daughter Joan in the Canadian Northwest. Bateese Le Blanc (Lon Chaney), a half-breed, forces his attentions on Joan whenever he gets a chance, but is constantly watched by his jealous half-breed sweetheart, Marie (Priscilla Dean). "Gold Dust" Barker and his henchman, Regan, convince John Gray to return to the Yukon with them as head trapper, and they offer his daughter Joan work as a nurse. The trip to Dawson City is a grueling one, and Joan finds her father dead one morning.

Arriving in Dawson City, Joan learns that Gold Dust Barker is the proprietor of the dance hall, and all his girls are called "nurses." Jim Blood owns the richest mine in the area, but he is only a shell of a man, overcome by alcoholism. Bateese arrives in town and breaks into Joan's room. Jim Blood comes to her rescue, and Bateese is killed in the ensuing gunfight.

Deciding there is only one hope for escape from this life, Joan puts on a flashy dance costume, rushes on stage, and offers herself in marriage to the highest bidder. Jim Blood offers his entire claim and wins Joan, but as a Justice of the Peace is about to marry them, Barker and Regan present a fake $100,000 I.O.U. from Jim, and they abduct Joan as their payment. Jim grabs two guns, holds the dance hall crowd at bay, and frees Joan.


Paid in Advance

Barker and Regan fire at Jim, but he is a fast draw and shoots both men. He fires at a lamp, setting the building on fire. While the crowds flee for their lives, Jim tells Joan that he really loves her, then he vanishes off into the night. Joan returns to her old home in Montreal, and receives regular payments from the manager of the mine that she won from Jim. She is called to Dawson City on business, and meets the manager, only to learn that the manager is none other than Jim. Having kicked his drinking problem, the two are happily united.

Reception

"A melodramatic story of the Klondike portrayed in a faithfully realistic manner by a cast of clever principals and an army of extra people...Virile action, many thrilling fights, and a neat little love element is interwoven in the story. Excellent photography is displayed on the many splendid exterior scenes." ---Motion Picture News

"Pictorial effects and characterizations by Lon Chaney, Priscilla Dean, and William Stowell give most of whatever entertainment value there is to PAID IN ADVANCE...The picture comes to life in the scenes in which they appear. ---The New York Times

"A splendid dramatic success is achieved in this six-reel Universal-Jewel production... The cast, so far as the principals are concerned, is made up entirely of screen favorites, and so excellent is the team work of these tried players that the numerous tense situations are raised to extreme dramatic heights." ---Moving Picture World

"Dance hall meller that misses because of story weaknesses and ancient situations...Lon Chaney's good."---Wid's Film Daily

USS Saint Paul (CA-73), a Baltimore-class cruiser, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Her keel was laid down as Rochester on 3 February 1943 by the Bethlehem Steel Company in Quincy, Massachusetts. She was launched on 16 September 1944 sponsored by Mrs. Marie Gordon McDonough,John J. McDonough, then mayor of Saint Paul; and commissioned on 17 February 1945, Captain Ernest H. von Heimburg in command. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 31 July 1978, and was sold for scrapping in January 1980.

Service history

World War II

After shakedown in the Caribbean Sea, Saint Paul departed Boston, Massachusetts, on 15 May 1945 and headed for the Pacific. From 8–30 June, she underwent training out of Pearl Harbor and sailed on 2 July to join Task Force 38 (TF 38). This fast carrier striking force completed replenishment at sea on 23 July and then proceeded to launching points for strikes against Honshū, Japan's largest island. From 24 July to 10 August, Saint Paul screened the carriers as they delivered heavy air strikes on Kure, Kobe, and the Tokyo area in southern Honshū, then at Maizuru and various airfields in northern Honshū. During this period, Saint Paul also bombarded industrial targets: first on textile mills at Hamamatsu during the night of 29 July, and then on 9 August at iron and steel works in Kamaishi, firing the war's last hostile salvo from a major ship. Typhoon warnings canceled air operations from 11 to 14 August. Then, those launched that morning were recalled, after peace negotiations gave promise of Japan's surrender. On 15 August, all offensive operations against Japan were stopped.
