1981 Italian Grand Prix

The 1981 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Monza on 13 September 1981.1981 Formula One World Championship.

Formula One returned to Monza after the previous year's Italian Grand Prix had been held at Imola. The 52-lap race was won by Frenchman Alain Prost, who led every lap in his Renault after starting from third position. Australian Alan Jones finished second in a Williams-Ford, some 22 seconds behind, with Argentine teammate Carlos Reutemann third.

Reutemann came into the race tied on points at the top of the Drivers' Championship with Brazilian Nelson Piquet, driving a Brabham-Ford. Piquet suffered a last-lap engine failure which dropped him from third to sixth, giving Reutemann a three-point lead in the championship with two races remaining.

Qualifying report

Qualifying saw René Arnoux take pole position in his Renault by 0.67 seconds from Carlos Reutemann's Williams. It was Arnoux's fourth pole position of the season and the sixth in succession for the Renault team. Alain Prost was third in the other Renault, with Jacques Laffite in the Ligier alongside him on the second row of the grid. Alan Jones in the other Williams and Nelson Piquet in the Brabham made up the third row, and the top ten was completed by John Watson in the McLaren, Didier Pironi and Gilles Villeneuve in the two Ferraris, and Bruno Giacomelli in the Alfa Romeo.

For the first time, the Toleman team qualified for a race, with Brian Henton taking 23rd. Teammate Derek Warwick failed to qualify along with Marc Surer in the Theodore, Beppe Gabbiani in the Osella, Siegfried Stohr in the Arrows, and Keke Rosberg and Chico Serra in the two Fittipaldis. Stohr crashed heavily during the qualifying session; already haunted by the trauma of nearly killing mechanic Dave Luckett in Belgium earlier in the season, he ultimately decided to stop racing and start a successful motor racing academy.

Race report

On the run-up to the first chicane, Prost passed both Reutemann and teammate Arnoux to take the lead, while Pironi jumped from eighth to fourth. Reutemann then overtook Arnoux at the Curva Grande, before Pironi overtook both to run second by the end of the lap. As Prost opened up a lead, Arnoux re-passed Reutemann on lap 2 and Pironi on lap 5. Laffite, having already passed Reutemann, then overtook Pironi for third on lap 6, as Villeneuve retired with an engine failure.

On lap 12, Laffite dropped out with a puncture, by which point Pironi had dropped back behind Reutemann and Jones. As rain started to fall, Jones passed teammate Reutemann for third. At the end of the lap, Eddie Cheever spun his Tyrrell out at the Parabolica; on the next lap, Arnoux himself spun out after swerving to avoid Cheever's abandoned car, leaving Prost comfortably clear of Jones. Reutemann, struggling as the track started to dry again, soon fell to eighth behind Giacomelli, Patrick Tambay in the second Ligier (who had only started 15th), Piquet, Pironi and Watson.

On lap 20, Watson lost control exiting the second Lesmo bend and smashed into the barriers at high speed. The McLaren was torn in two, with the gearbox and rear wheels going across the track and clipping the second Tyrrell of Michele Alboreto, who also retired. Watson escaped unharmed.

On lap 23 Tambay, like teammate Laffite, retired with a puncture, before Giacomelli pulled into the pits with a jammed gearbox on lap 26. Piquet was thus promoted to third with Pironi fourth and Reutemann fifth, followed by Mario Andretti in the second Alfa Romeo, Elio de Angelis in the Lotus and Andrea de Cesaris in the second McLaren. Reutemann soon passed Pironi again, before Andretti suffered an engine failure on lap 41.

As Prost cruised to victory, ultimately finishing some 22 seconds ahead of Jones, Piquet looked set to hold off championship rival Reutemann for third, until his engine blew on the last lap. Reutemann duly went past, as did de Angelis and Pironi. Piquet was classified sixth ahead of de Cesaris, who himself suffered a puncture on the last lap. The only other finishers were Giacomelli, Jean-Pierre Jarier in the second Osella, and Henton.

Reutemann thus led the Drivers' Championship by three points from Piquet with two races remaining, with Prost, Jones and Laffite all retaining outside chances of the title. The Williams team, meanwhile, needed just two more points to secure their second consecutive Constructors' Championship.

The crisis at Zanzibar when British warships bombarded the Sultan's Palace – St George on the left

HMS St George was a first class cruiser of the Edgar class. She was launched on 23 June 1892.

Service history

St George took part in the 40-minute-long Anglo-Zanzibar War in 1896. The obsolete armed yacht HHS Glasgow of Zanzibar fired upon a British flotilla led by St George, also comprising Philomel, Racoon, Sparrow and Thrush. The response sank Glasgow with a hole below the waterline. With a Union Jack flying over the sinking yacht in surrender, the flotilla launched lifeboats to rescue the crew of Glasgow which would lie at the bottom of Zanzibar Town Harbour until 1912.

She served in the Channel Fleet. In 1901, she was one of two escort ships for the royal yacht Ophir, which carried the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary) during their tour of the British Empire.

Following the end of this tour, the captain of Ophir, Commodore Alfred Winsloe, reverted to his position as Commodore commanding the Cruiser squadron, and was in late 1901 posted to St George,broad pennant. In May 1902 she was taken into Portsmouth for a refit.fleet review at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII,Nauplia and Crete for combined manoeuvres in the Mediterranean Sea.HMS Good Hope.

She was the flagship of the Cape & West Africa Station (Rear-Admiral Harry Rawson) based at Simon's Town, and served in the First World War. Sidney R. Olivier commanded the ship between 2 November 1915 and 1919.

She was designated as a depot ship in 1909, and sold for breaking up at Plymouth on 1 July 1920.

Bullaren

Bullarebygden is the name of the area surrounding three connected lakes in Bohuslän in the southwestern part of Sweden. Another commonly used name for the same area is Bullaren. The landscape is a mixture of forests and meadows. Less than 2,000 people populate the rural area and by tradition farming is still common. Moose hunting and fishing are popular activities, both by people living there and by visitors. Bullaren is known for the annual bicycle race called "Bullingrutten" which is much like a huge feast for the locals, since no one is actually trying to win the actual race. The race takes the competitors around the center lake, while the nature at the same time brings beautiful views. Other events that take place is the annual market, as well as a live show made by "Bullingen Jär´et igen" at the local rustic site.

Cacoethes (horse)

Cacoethes (7 March 1986–11 September 2009) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. After finishing third on his only start as a two-year-old he improved to become one of the best colts of his generation in Europe in the following year, winning the Lingfield Derby Trial and the King Edward VII Stakes as well as finishing second in the International Stakes and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and third in the Epsom Derby. In 1990 he showed his best form in Autumn when he won the Turf Classic and ran third in the Japan Cup. After his retirement from racing he stood as a breeding stallion in Japan.

Background

Cacoethes was a bay horse with no white markings bred in California by Ray & Fran Stark. As a yearling in September 1987 he was put up for auction at Keeneland and was bought for $225,000 by the bloodstock agent James Delahooke.Guy Harwood at Pulborough. At the time, Harwood was noted for his modern approach to training, introducing Britain to features such as artificial gallops and barn-style stabling.Lady Harrison before the start of his second season.

He was sired by the American stallion Alydar who was best known as a racehorse for his rivalry with the Triple Crown winner Affirmed. He later became a very successful breeding stallion whose other offspring included Easy Goer, Alysheba, Turkoman, Strike the Gold, Criminal Type and Miss Oceana. Cacoethes' dam Careless Notion showed modest ability on the track winning one minor race. She was a daughter of the California Oaks winner Miss Uppity and a distant relative of the Belmont Stakes winner Granville.

Racing career

1988: two-year-old season

On his first and only appearance as a juvenile, Cacoethes started at odds of 11/1 for the Listed Autumn Stakes over one mile at Ascot Racecourse on 8 October. Ridden as in most of his early races by Greville Starkey he came home third of the six runners, five and a half lengths behind the winner Nashwan.

1989: three-year-old season


Cacoethes (horse)

1989: three-year-old season

Cacoethes made his three-year-old debut in the Prince of Wales Graduation Stakes over ten furlongs at Brighton Racecourse on 24 April and was made the 5/6 favourite against nine opponents. He took the lead before half-way and accelerated away in the last quarter mile to win "very easily" by seven lengths from Dolpour, a colt who later that year was beaten only a head when finishing second in the Champion Stakes.Group 3 Lingfield Derby Trial over one and a half miles on 13 May and started second choice in the betting behind the undefeated Pirate Army. Cacoethes led from the start and won "easily" by four lengths from Pirate Army with a further eight lengths back to Spitfire in third.

On 7 June Cacoethes started 3/1 second favourite behind Nashwan for the 210th running of the Epsom Derby. After racing in second place behind Torjoun he took the lead in the straight but was quickly joined by Nashwan. Following a brief struggle, the favourite pulled away to win easily while Cacoethes was deprived of second in the closing stages by the 500/1 outsider Terimon. Less than two weeks after his defeat at Epsom, Cacoethes started odds-on favourite for the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in which he was partnered by Pat Eddery. He was restrained by Eddery in the early stages before going to the front approaching the final furlong and won by three quarters of a length from Zayyani (winner of the Greenham Stakes).39th King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes. On this occasion the contest was much closer with Cacoethes going down by a neck to his rival after a prolonged struggle up the straight, with the pair finishing seven lengths clear of the other five runners.

Cacoethes was widely expected to win the International Stakes at York Racecourse on 22 August and started at odds of 2/5 against six opponents. In a major upset he failed to overhaul the 16/1 outsider Ile de Chypre and was beaten a length and a half into second place. Steve Cauthen took the ride when Cacoethes contested the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He started second favourite but was never in serious contention and came home towards the rear of the field in a race won by Carroll House.

1990: four-year-old season


Cacoethes (horse)

1990: four-year-old season

After the retirement of Starkey, Ray Cochrane took over as Cacoethes' regular jockey in 1994 and rode the colt in all six of his races that year. His season began disappointingly as he finished fourth behind Relief Pitcher when favourite for the Listed Festival Stakes over ten furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse in May. In July he made his second attempt to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes and started the 11/2 third choice in the betting behind In The Wings and Old Vic. He came home fourth of the eleven runners behind Belmez, keeping on well in the straight without ever looking likely to win.

After a break of over two months Cacoethes returned in the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot in September in which he ran second to Ile de Nisky, beaten half a length when conceding five pounds to the winner. In October Cacoethes was sent to the United States to contest the Grade 1 Turf Classic over one and a half miles at Belmont Park and started 5/2 second favourite behind the Canadian champion With Approval in a six-runner field which also included El Senor (Sword Dancer Stakes), Shy Tom (third in the Travers Stakes), Alwuhush (Premio Presidente della Repubblica) and Fast 'n' Gold (Rutgers Handicap). Cacoethes went to the front from the start and set a steady pace before accelerating clear approaching the final turn. He kept on well in the straight to win by one and a half lengths and a nose from Alwuhush and With Approval in a time of 2:25.0, only 0.2 seconds outside the course record set by Secretariat in 1973.Breeders' Cup Turf over the same course and distance three weeks later he failed to reproduce his best form and finished unplaced.

On his final racecourse appearance Cacoethes contested the 10th edition of the Japan Cup at Tokyo Racecourse on 27 November. After tracking the front-runners he went to the front in the straight and opened up a clear lead but was overtaken in the final strides and finished third behind Better Loosen Up and Ode in a three-way photo finish. The unplaced horses included Alwuhush, Belmez, Ibn Bey, Oguri Cap, Petite Ile and Stylish Century.

Doane Harrison

Doane Harrison (September 19, 1894 – November 11, 1968) was an American film editor whose career spanned four decades. For nearly twenty years, from 1935–54, he was a prolific editor of films for Paramount Pictures, including eleven films with director Mitchell Leisen. For twenty-five years, from 1941–1966, Harrison was editor, editorial supervisor or associate producer on all the films directed by Billy Wilder,

Early career

Born in Paw Paw, Michigan, Harrison began his career during the silent film era. The earliest phase of his career and his education don't appear to have been documented. In 1925–1926, he was credited as the editor for nine films starring Richard Talmadge, and produced by Richard Talmadge Productions.

By 1928, he was editing films produced by Pathé Exchange. In 1933 he edited his eleventh (and last) film starring Richard Talmadge, On Your Guard. By 1935, Harrison had joined Paramount Pictures, one of the major Hollywood studios. Harrison remained at Paramount for more than eighteen years. His first film there was Four Hours to Kill! (1935), which was directed by Mitchell Leisen; at Pathé Exchange, Leisen had been the art director and Harrison the editor on three films. Their notable director-editor collaboration ultimately stretched over twenty-three years and eleven films, including Hold Back the Dawn (1941), which received six Academy Award nominations, Easy Living (1937), Midnight (1939), and Remember the Night (1940).

Collaboration with Billy Wilder

Harrison is probably best remembered for his long association with Billy Wilder. As a new immigrant to the United States in the 1930s, Wilder had found work as a screenwriter for Paramount, where Harrison was also working as an editor. Wilder and Harrison both worked on Midnight in 1939, and again on Hold Back the Dawn in 1941. By 1942, Wilder had persuaded the management at Paramount to assign him as the director of the comedy The Major and the Minor; Wilder had previously directed just a single film in France. Wilder asked that Harrison be assigned as the film's editor. Wilder has been quoted as saying about this early assignment, "I worked with a very good cutter, Doane Harrison, from whom I learned a great deal. He was much more of a help to me than the cameraman. When I became a director from a writer my technical knowledge was very meagre."


Doane Harrison

The Major and the Minor was successful, and launched Wilder's directing career. Harrison worked on all the films directed by Wilder for the next 25 years, through The Fortune Cookie (1966); their unusually close collaboration involved Harrison in filming as well as editing.

Harrison was credited as editorial supervisor on the next several films that Wilder directed, through Sunset Boulevard (1950). Harrison was credited as an "editorial consultant" on Sabrina (1954), which was the last film at Paramount for Wilder and Harrison.The Seven Year Itch (1955) through The Fortune Cookie (1966).

Final cuts

Harrison's and Wilder's notable director-editor collaboration (as editor, editorial supervisor or advisor) had extended over ten films, from The Major and the Minor (1942) through Sabrina (1954).The Girl Most Likely (1958), was a reunion with director Mitchell Leisen. He acted as a consultant to Mike Nichols on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), which was the first film Nichols directed.

Harrison was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for three films directed by Wilder: Five Graves to Cairo (1943), The Lost Weekend (1945), and Sunset Boulevard (with Arthur P. Schmidt, 1950).Riverside, California, aged 74.

Bullas (DO)

38°03′00″N 01°40′12″W / 38.05000°N 1.67000°W

Bullas is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines located in the region of Murcia (Spain) and covers the territories of eight different municipalities, including Caravaca de la Cruz, Moratalla and Bullas itself. The region is renowned for its young reds and rosés made from the Monastrell grape variety.

History

The town of Bullas has existed since the times of the ancient Romans and grew during the centuries of Moorish dominion of the Iberian Peninsula. After its reconquest by Christian forces in the 13th century its prosperity increased due to agriculture and wine production.

The region used to produce wine in bulk until the 1980s when private wineries began to invest in the equipment and technology required for the production of bottled and labelled quality wine. It acquired official DO status in 1994.

Geography

A Monastrell (also known as Mourvedre) from Bullas.

Bullas is located halfway between the city of Murcia, the regional capital, and the mountains in the west that form the frontier with Andalusia. The landscape is rugged and slopes upwards from south to north. It comprises numerous small valleys with individual microclimates.

The soils on the slopes are brown and so hard that they have to be broken mechanically before vines can be planted. They are lime bearing and have a top crust, poor in organic matter, and have good drainage.

The DOP is divided into 3 sub-zones, each one of which has a distinct identity and produces characteristic wines.

Northwest

The Northwest sub-zone is the most important one in terms of area (52%), number of wineries and quality of the wine. It is located in the foothills of the mountains at altitudes between 500 and 800 m (1,600 and 2,600 ft) above sea level. It includes the municipalities of Caravaca de la Cruz, Moratalla and part of Lorca. The main grape varieties used in this sub-zone are Monastrell and Tempranillo.

Central


Bullas (DO)

Central

The Central sub-zone covers 40% of the DOP, is at an altitude of between 500 and 600 m (1,600 and 2,000 ft) above sea level and includes the municipalities of Mula, Bullas and Cehegín.

Northeast

The Northeast sub-zone, the smallest of the three, covering only 8% of the DOP includes the municipalities of Calasparra, Ricote, Bullas and Mula.

Climate

The climate in Bullas DOP is characterised by its very hot summers, though not as hot as the other DOPs in Murcia. There are occasional freezing winds from the mountains and frosts are common between the months of October and April. The average temperature is 16 °C with maximums of 39 °C in summer and minimums of -4 °C in winter. There are also occasional violent storms in September and October.

Grapes

The main grape variety planted is Monastrell which represents over 80% of all grapes planted.

  * Red grape varieties: Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha Tinta, Syrah, Tempranillo, Merlot, Petit Verdot.
  * White grape varieties: Airén, Chardonnay, Macabeo, Malvasía, Moscatel de Alejandría, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscatel de Grano Menudo.

Bani Ammar

Bani Ammar (Arabic: بني عمار) is a village located near Tahta-Sohag; south-western between Banhau (Arabic: بنهو) and El-Sawamaa Gharb (Arabic: الصوامعه غرب) to the east and Enibis (Arabic: عنيبس) to west. The inhabitants are mainly working in traditional agricultural activities. Many of them have established other residences somewhere else, mainly in Cairo, Alexandria etc. As majorities in Egypt, a great number of the children already joined the national educational system and have graduated in high schools and universities. The Religious Education finds—as expected—its roots in this village. It dates back two centuries and centered on al-Azhar Mosque and university. It is also noticed that certain inhabitants immigrated abroad, mainly to the Gulf Countries, Iraq, Libya, etc.

Bani Ammar's first mention is found in the distinguished book "Description of Egypt" (French: Description de l'Égypte (1809)), which is a comprehensive scientific description of ancient and modern Egypt written by the French Scientists accompanying Napoleon's expedition to Egypt from 1798 to 1801. Bani Ammar must be there much earlier than the comprehensive expedition to Egypt.

The National Day of Sohag Governorate (10 April 1799) is to some extent related to the History of Bani Ammar, too. On this day the people around Juhaina (Arabic: جهينة) faced the French troupes, who invaded under the leadership of Napoleon the whole region of Upper Egypt tracing the Mamluki's (Arabic: مماليك). They have been stopped in Juhaina battle. The Juhainas are close relatives to Bani Ammars. Both people immigrated from Arabian Island and even divided their new land accordingly.

Bani Ammars are Hashimitis rooted to the Arabia dynasty of Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf (Arabic: هاشم بن عبد مناف) . Concretely, the roots of the main family is originated to Ja`far bin Abī Tālib (Arabic:جعفر ابن أبي طالب).


Adil Abdullah

Not to be confused with Abdullah Adil.

Adil Abdullah (Arabic: عادل عبد الله; 1 January 1923 – 1 July 1986) was an Iraqi with Turkish origin international footballer who played as a forward.

He earned five caps and scored five goals for Iraq, with all five goals coming during 1960 Olympics qualification against Lebanon.

DonPachi

This article is about the 1995 arcade game. For the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo character, see Don Patch.

DonPachivertical-scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Cave and published by Atlus in Japan. Players assume the role of a recruit selected to take part on a secret military program by assaulting enemy strongholds in order to become member of the "DonPachi Squadron".

DonPachi was conceived as a project that evoked the same spirit from shoot 'em ups created by Toaplan, a request Atlus wanted as publisher though conflict emerged as how close the game should be to Toaplan shooters while members at Cave pointed out elements uncharacteristic from Toaplan during development. Although first launched for arcades on Cave's first-generation hardware, the title was later ported to Sega Saturn and PlayStation, each one featuring several changes and additions compared to the original version. The PlayStation version has since been re-released through the PlayStation Network download service.

DonPachi proved to be popular among Japanese arcade players but was later deemed by Cave to be a "creative failure", while the Saturn version was met with mixed reception from critics. It was followed by six sequels: DoDonPachi in 1997, DoDonPachi II in 2001, DoDonPachi DaiOuJou in 2002, DoDonPachi Resurrection in 2008, as well as DoDonPachi Maximum and DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou in 2012.

Gameplay

Arcade version screenshot.

DonPachi features a scoring system known as the "Get Point System" (GPS).combo, similar to the kind found in fighting games. They receive an increasing number of points with every enemy they shoot down; the more enemies the player hits in one chain, the more points they receive. They can break the chain by waiting to shoot an enemy; the combo number will turn blue when the player's chain is broken. This system brings a new challenge after the player has cleared the game; plot out the stages to achieve a high score. The player flies their selected fighter over 5 areas of various terrain, encountering a number of land, sea and air enemies. The player's ship has two modes of fire: by tapping the fire button, shots are fired; holding it down produces a concentrated vertical beam, but also reduces the ship's speed.


DonPachi

The game has 5 areas, which can be "looped" if the player succeeds in completing them. The second loop has the same areas, enemy patterns, and bosses as the first loop, but enemies fire denser bullet patterns as well as explode into bullets when destroyed (sometimes called 'suicide bullets' or a 'ricochet effect'). However, if enemies are destroyed with the player's ship nearby, such bullets disappear. Destroying the final boss in the second loop unlocks a secret area where the player fights the trademark boss of the series, the giant mechanical bee Hachi (蜂; 'bee'). After completing the first loop, the storyline reveals that the commander tells the pilot to continue the missions of fighting against the fellow troop members until one side is completely destroyed, with the game's second loop beginning 7 years later.

Introduced in this game and subsequently carried over to other CAVE games is the ranking system. Through skillful play (conserving lives and bombs, powering up your ship, obtaining bee medals, obtaining large combos, etc.), bullets fired by enemies will get subtly faster. In the original version rank starts at 0 and increases by 1 per stage in addition to rank collected through skillful play, but in the Hong Kong version rank starts at 10 and increases by 4 per stage in addition to rank collected through play.

Depending on the region released the game will have minor differences from the original Japanese version. The USA release has lesser rank and bombs are refilled after every stage, making the experience slightly easier. The Hong Kong version removes all story and is much more difficult, mainly through higher rank by default meaning faster bullets, and the hitbox is enlarged to fill up much more of the ships sprite. The Hong Kong version was considered near-impossible to complete until a 2-ALL playthrough (a completion of the game going through both loops) was uploaded to Youtube on December 29, 2021.

Camp Cuba Libre

Camp Cuba Libre was a rallying point for American forces during the Spanish–American War. Established in Jacksonville, Florida, in May 1898, it was constructed after forces assembling in Tampa became too crowded, and was the rallying point for Maj. General Fitzhugh Lee's Seventh Corps.

Early 1898

The camp was originally known as Camp Springfield, taking the name of the area north of downtown Jacksonville. The boundaries of the camp were set by "Ionia Street on the east, 8th street on the north, Main Street on the west, and 1st street on the south."

Women at Camp Cuba Libre

The Spanish–American War was one of the first wars in which nurses were used in an institutional capacity. The Daughters of the American Revolution Hospital Corps contracted four Catholic Lakota nuns as nurses who were sent to Camp Cuba Libre, before being assigned to Camp Columbia in Havana.

White female nurses from the north who were serving with the Red Cross reported the suspicion with which they were received at Cuba Libre by the chief surgeon, who questioned the need for his staff to be aided by female nurses, channeling the suspicion that women volunteering for intimate contact with male soldiers were "camp followers" (a euphemistic term for prostitutes who opportunistically followed armies). To counter this perception, Chief Nurse Edna Copeland instituted "strict sexual surveillance" on her nurses, which seemed to prompt accusations of misconduct by the women at one another.

Doan's Hollow Public School

Doan's Hollow Public School is a defunct public elementary school that existed from the early 20th century until c. 1980.

Due to its status as one of the first two schools that taught the mentally disabled, it was considered to be a "pioneer school" for the disabled population of Norfolk County. Special education programs were eventually introduced to the other elementary schools in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada that allowed children to attend schools that were closer to their homes. Doan's Hollow Public School was a feeder school to Simcoe Composite School during its years of operation although it also shared close proximity to Port Dover Composite School (when it first opened in 1962).

Alumni

  * Red Kelly attended Doan's Hollow Public School during the 1930s.

Present day use

The former site of the school was being used as a meeting hall for members of the Jehovah's Witness faith until its official sale to a secular buyer shortly after October 2016.

Another view of the power plant, with Power Canal to the right

The Edison Sault Power Canal supplies the Saint Marys Falls Hydropower Plant, a Cloverland Electric Cooperative hydroelectric plant, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Excavation of the power canal began in September 1898 and was completed in June 1902. The canal and hydroelectric complex were named a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1983.

Physical features

The length of the canal from the headgates (intake) to the power house is approximately 11,850 ft (3,610 m). The canal varies in width from 200 to 220 ft (61 to 67 m)24 ft (7.3 m) in depth. The water velocity varies for various reasons but, at times, it can be up to 7 mph (11 km/h). The entrance to the canal is located at the eastern end of Ashmun Bay and is controlled by four steel headgates. The upper quarter of the canal was excavated from rock while the remainder was dug into the earth and given a timber lining. The canal is designed to carry 30,000 cu ft (850 m3) of water per second.

Capital punishment in Cyprus

The gallows at the Nicosia Central Prison, now a museum (2006)

Capital punishment for murder was abolished in Cyprus on 15 December 1983. It was abolished for all crimes on 19 April 2002. The death penalty was replaced with life imprisonment. Cyprus is a signatory of the second optional protocol of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which provides for full abolition of capital punishment. Cyprus initially had a reservation on the second protocol, allowing execution for grave crimes in times of war, but subsequently gave up this reservation. The Constitution of Cyprus was amended in 2016 to wipe out all forms of capital punishment.

The last executions were carried out on 13 June 1962. Three men, Hambis Zacharia, Michael Hiletikos and Lazaris Demetriou, were hanged for murder at the Central Jail of Nicosia,Limassol vineyard. Hiletikos and Demetriou were convicted of shooting a man outside a Limassol night-club in 1961. The British executioners Harry Allen and John Underhill travelled to Cyprus to carry out the hangings.

Prior to independence, nine men had been hanged in 1956 and 1957 by the British for acts committed as members of EOKA. The Central Jail of Nicosia still functions as a prison, but the area where executions were carried out is now a museum.

The unrecognised state of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus retains the death penalty in limited circumstances. Article 15 of the state's constitution declares that capital punishment can be imposed in cases of treason during wartime, acts of terrorism and piracy jure gentium, and for repeated murders. Even in these instances, no execution of capital punishment can be carried out unless the Northern Cyprus legislative assembly decides so under the provisions of Article 78. As of 2017, Northern Cyprus has never carried out an execution.

This article is about the design and manufacturing company. For the sport, see Bocce.

Bocci is a Canadian design and manufacturing company based in Vancouver and Berlin, founded in 2005 by Randy Bishop and Omer Arbel.lighting and large light installations.

History

The company began in 2005 after a chance meeting between Randy Bishop and Omer Arbel during New York Design Week. Arbel was exhibiting an early prototype of '14', a cast-glass pendant light and Bishop was attending a candy convention on the floor above.

Design

Bocci currently offers seven families of ambient lighting (14, 16, 21, 28, 38, 57 & 73), two design objets (19 & 25) and one collection of electrical accessories (22).

14 is a cast-glass pendant fastened by a borosilicate glass lamp holder. It can be suspended by coaxial cable in its chandelier form or fastened to the wall as a surface-mount light.Red Dot Award and a Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Design in 2007.

16 is a new addition to the Bocci collection. It was unveiled as a large outdoor installation on 5 March 2015 at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. 16 has an innovative armature system which carries a low-voltage charge, eliminating the need for interior wiring. The pendants are composed of two-halves made by free pouring three separate layers of hot glass: first milk white, then transparent grey, and finally clear. The two-halves of the piece contain a flat ring-shaped LED lamp that preserves the leaf-like appearance of the finished product, and the "leaves" are attached to a stainless steel armature that may be hung as a chandelier or emerge from the ground in a configuration similar to a tree.Euroluce 2015 in Milan.

19 is an exploration of sand-casting using high copper content brass. A void is made in sand and then filled with molten metal, resulting in a natural overspill that is usually removed in post-production. In the case of 19, the overspill is the highlight of the piece – left raw and oxidized while the centre is polished to a mirror finish. 19 comes in three sizes, each numbered and signed.

25 is a bench that avoids the traditional upholstery technique of covering foam with fabric, relying rather on excess fabric to provide a comfortable seat. The extra cloth is allowed to fold randomly and changes over time with use.

Large glass spheres are filled with random milk-white satellites, some deep enough to house succulents or cacti plants.Mallett Antiques played host to a large collection of 38s tumbling down the exterior walls of their building on Dover Street.

57 explores a technique similar to that used to create closed-cell foam, but using molten glass, resulting in an irregularly shaped pendant with random interior bubbles. The bubbles are invisible until the lamp is turned on, revealing hidden complexity.Canada House on Trafalgar Square in London on 19 February 2015.
