Trinity Catholic High School, Woodford Green

Trinity Catholic High School is an 11–18 mixed, Roman Catholic, voluntary aided school and sixth form in Woodford Green, Greater London, England. It was established in 1976 following the amalgamation of Holy Family Convent School (now Upper Site) and St Paul's Catholic Secondary School (now Lower Site). It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brentwood.

The Duchess and her legacy: 1878 – 1944
In the Franciscan Annals of March 1878, a member of the Third Order of St. Francis wrote,

"There is a large district fringing the Loughton and Ongar branch of the Great Eastern Railway stretching from Stratford to Ongar, embracing the parishes of Woodford, Woodford Bridge, Chingford, Loughton, Chigwell, Chigwell Row, Epping and adjacent places without a church (St. George’s Walthamstow is the nearest, except St. Helen’s Ongar at the extreme end) at which the faithful can assist at the holy sacrifice. A Brother of the Third Order of St. Francis, anxious for the salvation of so many thousands of souls residing in this large district and therefore removed from the life-giving influence of our holy religion, asks his brethren and sisters of the Third Order to unite with him in a daily visit to the Blessed Sacrament and to offer in connection with this visit, a Pater, Ave, Gloria, that Almighty God will be pleased to establish a mission."

This anonymous quotation is often seen as the first inspiration for the founding of the friary church of St. Thomas of Canterbury and its adjoining schools at Woodford in the county of Essex. These standard accounts go on to explain how, some 15 years later, Cardinal Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster, was taking a rest at Ascot in the home of Lady Henrietta Pelham-Clinton, Dowager Duchess of Newcastle. During this visit the Cardinal happened to lament the fact that there was no Catholic church or school between St. George's Walthamstow and St. Helen's Ongar. He went on to express a wish to establish a Catholic community in the Epping Forest area, the Duchess immediately offered her financial help. Accordingly, in 1894-1895 matters moved swiftly apace to remedy the situation with the building of the present Friary church. A foundation stone was laid on 18 May 1895 and, within a year, the new church was consecrated on 7 July 1896.

Cardinal Herbert Vaughan (1832-1903) was one of the great architects of Catholic Expansion in London and the South-East, he founded seminaries, churches and especially schools. The Cardinal did much to secure the Education Act 1902 which obtained State Aid for Catholic Education. He also saw the need for the Church to establish itself in the growing suburbs around London. Both he and the Duchess of Newcastle believed Woodford was a potential area for such Catholic expansion.

Henrietta was born in 1843 at Deepdene, a beautiful estate at Boxhill in Surrey, the only and beloved daughter of the merchant Henry Thomas Hope whose family once owned the famous diamond called after their name. In 1861, at the age of 18, Henrietta married Lord Lincoln, later 5th Duke of Newcastle by whom she had two sons and three daughters. In 1879, the Duke died and, in the same year, Henrietta, who had always been identified with the most advanced section of Anglicanism, was received into the Catholic Church.

In 1880, Henrietta remarried Thomas Theobald Herbert (obit 1892): Henrietta became a leading Catholic figure in London and was a firm friend of Carinal Herbert Vaughan. On his transfer to Westminster in 1892. Vaughan encouraged Henrietta's growing absorption with the poor in London's East End. She left her mansion in Hill Street, Berkeley Square and moved to a house she named St. Anthony's in Great Prescott Street by Tower Hill. (1893). Henrietta, who had often been associated with many Catholic charities, deeply admired the Sisters of the Holy Family of Bordeaux who worked amongst poor Catholic girls and young women in the East End of London. They formed an association to keep them off the streets and train them in cooking, needlework and other domestic skills.

Henrietta used her own house and another in Great Prescott Street to become actively involved in this work. She was joined by two other ladies and they took the name of the Ladies of Charity of St, Vincent de Paul. High society in London regarded Henrietta as rather eccentric and when Lady Paget asked her "Were it not better to help those who tried to help themselves?" Henrietta replied that she loved the worst cases and Lady Paget's advice would not provide her with sufficient excitement.

Indeed, Henrietta had a shrewd brain and, contrary to the description of her in "Pall Mall" magazine, as being "completely given up to good works in the East End," her obituary in the "Woodford Times," 9 March 1915, described her as follows: "She had a very artistic nature and a keen perception of all things beautiful and was an enthusiastic musician. She was practical and business-like, seeing that organisations under her superintendence were working decently and in order. She was greatly loved by all who knew her well." Henrietta had spent a great deal of time in France where she had witnessed the Church's battle to defend its schools against the 4th Republic. She was also influenced by the growing clamour of English Nonconformists to control their own schools and Cardinal Vaughan's ardent belief that the Catholic Church in England not be limited to social work in the slums. Henrietta was equally determined to establish communities which would provide for all aspects of the growing Catholic population. Consequently, there can be no doubt about the Evangelical missionary nature of the new Friary and Parish church in Woodford. The building of St. Thomas of Canterbury, the foundation of the ‘Iron School,’ the purchase of property in Mornington Road for a convent school run by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Bordeaux are clear expressions both of Cardinal Vaughan and the Duchess of Newcastle's vision.

The Duchess steadfastly continued her work but, on 8 May 1913, she died of a stroke, her requiem took place in the church she loved (there had been a private entrance from the church to the Duchess’ apartments, probably where the repository now stands) and she was buried at St. Patrick's cemetery, Leytonstone. The Franciscans of the Woodford community, however, kept insisting that St. Thomas of Canterbury Church would be a more suitable resting place for the Dowager Duchess. Henrietta's son agreed, her remains were exhumed on 2 July 1913, transferred to Woodford and, after a requiem Mass, re-interred in the floor of the chapel of St. Francis to the right of the present high altar. A simple memorial tablet marks her resting place.

The founding of Trinity: 1944 – 1981
One of the greatest successes of the parish, which fitted closely into the ideals of the founding Dowager Duchess, was the expansion of Catholic education in the Woodford area. Butler's Education Act of 1944 completely reorganised state education and soon made its impact felt on St. Anthony's School. From its formation until 1946, St. Anthony's had been an all age elementary school but, from September of that year, all senior children of both sexes who had not qualified by means of examination at age 11 for admission to selective schools, were automatically transferred to St. George's Secondary School at Walthamstow. The effect on Catholic education in the area was parlous and led, in 1950, to the formation of one of the most powerful pressure groups ever instituted in the parish, the C.P.E.A., the Catholic Parents and Electors Association. They immediately adopted a high profile, not only on general educational issues, but in an attempt to rationalise and develop Catholic education in the area. The C.P.E.A. received tremendous help from the Franciscan community: extra land was given by the Fathers to St. Anthony's School for its enlargement and, in September 1958, the friars considered the selling of the Montclair site for the new secondary modern school of St. Paul's. In 1962 Monclair was eventually sold and, in September 1964, the new secondary modern school opened its doors. The C.P.E.A. were also instrumental in the development of the convent school in Mornington Road. In 1945 this had been placed on the list of schools recognised by the Ministry of Education and became known as St. Mary's Grammar School. Due to the efforts of the C.P.E.A., the new Grammar School obtained aided status. The need, however, to establish a long-term solution to Catholic education 11 – 18 continued and reached its climax in September 1976 when St. Mary's Grammar School (Mornington Road) and St. Paul's Secondary Modern School (Sydney Road) were merged into the new Comprehensive Trinity Catholic High School. The Franciscan and Parish community was generous in their support of the C.P.E.A. and the Diocese of Brentwood, not only in a pecuniary fashion, but being involved on the Governing Boards and in the busy pastoral work of these merging schools.

1976 saw Prime Minister James Callaghan's initiative implemented, the creation of comprehensive schools on a national level. The amalgamation of St. Paul's and St. Mary's Grammar schools were part of this. Sister Mary-Joachim eventually retired as Headteacher of St. Mary's Grammar School and Mr Joseph Green became overall Head of both sites, now reconstituted as Trinity Catholic High School. In 1981, Mr Joseph Green retired after long years of faithful service and Dr P.C. Doherty OBE was appointed as his successor with Michael Wilshaw as his First Deputy (Sir Michael Wilshaw later became Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, after his outstanding service both at Trinity and St. Bonaventure's Newham).

The development of Trinity: 1981 – present
By 1981, the Governors were fully aware of the challenges facing them and they responded accordingly. One major problem was the school was a split site and the buildings on both sites left a great deal to be desired. St. Paul's was simply a secondary modern collection of buildings with flat roofs and a range of general classrooms. The Upper Site consisted of at least 10 mobiles, an antiquated dining hall and two science blocks. The Upper Site, however, was blessed with Trinity House, a very sturdy, well-built edifice with a purpose-built gymnasium as an annexe. The Governors achievement over the next few years was truly outstanding. On the Upper Site they managed to settle a dispute with the order which still owned part of the land. The Governors were now able to develop the entire site with the tremendous support of the local authority, in particular Mr Keith Ratcliffe, (Director of Education) and two of his principal officers, Mr Don Capper and Mr Peter Randall. Of course, the Governors were well supported by the Diocese of Brentwood, in particular Mr David Squires. Once the Governors had settled the land question, they were able to remove all of the mobiles and replace them with elegant, purpose-built classrooms creating a quad-like atmosphere with Ratcliffe Hall, Carla House, Rackham House (named after the principal architect, Mr David Rackham), Grainger House, Pelham House and Monteluce House.

All these new centres of learning covered a wide spectrum of the curriculum, be it the Sciences, Technology, Mathematics and Business Studies. The two former classroom blocks were re-cladded and named Vincent and Becket House respectively. The latest addition to the development on the Upper Site has been the construction of St. Joseph's House which provides a Sixth Form common room, offices and relaxation areas. The Governors were desirous of ensuring that the grounds of the Upper Site were also refurbished taking a particular interest in the layout of new garden plots, pathways, play areas and entrances. Flowerbeds are carefully nourished whilst the Catholic nature of the school is immediately apparent to any visitor with judiciously placed statues of the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and St. Anthony of Padua. Of course, these latter years has seen the implementation of new fencing, proper gating and a comprehensive security system. Trinity House also has been developed with the creation of a new library, drama suites, media suite and reception areas as well as the construction and development of a consecrated chapel (The Chapel of the Holy Spirit) on the second floor of Trinity House. New offices were created and the Henrietta Suite was built and developed as the school's IT centre. Naturally, maintenance and changes of facilities such as toilets, bathrooms etc., have taken place.

On the Lower Site, developments have taken place where possible. There have been internal changes such as the creation of new offices, the implementation of a security system and the setting up of a consecrated chapel (The Chapel of the Divine Child). The Governors were also able to maintain and monitor the erection of new buildings such as Arcella House (Science), the Padua Centre (Biology Lab) and St. Paul's (Modern Languages). A new roof was replaced on the gym to eradicate the problem of leaks. Toilets and changing rooms have been refurbished, the outside of the building re-cladded and windows replaced.

One of the achievements of the Governing Board was that Trinity did not have any playing fields but due to the good offices of the local authority and sterling work by Senior Managers, Trinity managed to gain a long-term lease on Whitbreads playing field with its grounds and changing rooms.

In May 1999, the Department for Education and Employment (DFEE) nominated it as a "Beacon School" to show good practice both locally and nationally.

El Palacio de Hierro

El Palacio de Hierro (operated by the corporation Grupo El Palacio de Hierro S.A.B. de C.V.; (a.k.a. Palacio, The Iron Palace) is an upscale chain of 16 full-line Palacio de Hierro department stores, 3 Boutique Palacio junior department stores, 2 Casa Palacio home stores, and 2 outlets located in Greater Mexico City and 8 other major cities across Mexico. It has two flagship stores - one the original historic flagship in the Historic center of Mexico City and the "Palacio de los Palacios" (Palace of the Palaces) store in the Polanco district, reopened in 2016 after an extensive renovation costing US$300 million, and at 55200 sqm, the largest department store in Latin America. Palacio de Hierro has been a member of the International Association of Department Stores since 2000.

Origins
In the 1850s, French immigrant Victor Gassier opened a clothing store, Las Fábricas de Francia (The Factories of France), not related with the currently operating Fábricas de Francia chain. In 1860, Gassier teamed up with Alexander Reynaud, forming a business called Gassier & Reynaud. In 1876, José Tron, his brother Henri and José Leautaud bought in, forming the association ''V. Gassier & Reynaud, Sucs. S. en C.''. In 1879 the business' formal name was changed to J. Tron y Cía. (J. Tron and Co), but continued to trade as Las Fábricas de Francia.

Tron and Leautaud's business kept growing and in 1879, they started plans to build a store in Mexico City along the lines of the upscale stores that had already opened in Paris by that time, such as Le Bon Marché. In 1888 they bought the land to build their store, and later hired the Mexican architect Ignacio de la Hidalga to build a five-story building, the first in Mexico City made of iron and steel. As such, people who passed by would ask "what iron palace (palacio de hierro) are they building?". In 1891, when construction finished, Tron and Leautaud decided to rename the business El Palacio de Hierro, taking advantage of the publicity earned during construction.

On April 15, 1914 a fire destroyed the building. Other buildings were then used. As the Mexican Revolution made immediate reconstruction difficult or impossible, it took until 1921 to open the new store. French architect Paul Dubois designed the store in art nouveau style, featuring dual stained-glass ceilings by Jacques Grüber (1870-1936) of Nancy, France, and which opened for business on October 14, 1921.

Nowadays, El Palacio de Hierro is part of Grupo BAL, a Mexican conglomerate with interests in insurance, mining and retail.

Product lines
Product lines are broader than those carried by U.S. department stores today, including full ranges of electronics (televisions, laptops, cellphones), large home appliances (white goods, small appliances, furniture and home furnishings and accessories, mattresses, domestics (bed linens, towels), sporting goods, books and magazines, candy, gourmet food, wines, and liquors. In-store services include restaurants, food halls, hair salons, spa services, and a travel agency. However, women's, men's and children's apparel and accessories, fine jewelry, cosmetics, and fragrances, still dominate. In these areas, Palacio is the high-end chain in Mexico, compared to others such as Liverpool and Sears Mexico.

Palacio is the only Mexican department store chain that carries and in many cases, hosts in-store boutiques for, a broad range of global luxury brands. In late 2023, for example, the chain featured Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Carolina Herrera, Saint Laurent Paris, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo,Givenchy, Chloé, Balmain, Golden Goose Deluxe Brand, Moschino, and Rimowa on its website. Other brands carried in recent times have included Bvlgari, Bottega Veneta, Hermès, Tiffany's, Cartier, Esprit, Max Mara, BCBG Max Azria, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Gucci, Tory Burch, Prada, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Versace, Swarovski, Burberry, Escada, Juicy Couture. It also carries some Mexican high-end brands. But Palacio also carries many upper middle-range brands such as Emilio Pucci, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, and Spain-based Carolina Herrera, Adolfo Domínguez, Purificación García[es] and Mango.

Store formats
Grupo El Palacio de Hierro S.A.B. de C.V. operates various store formats:
 * 15 full-line Palacio de Hierro department store
 * 3 Boutique Palacio junior department stores,
 * 2 Casa Palacio home stores, and
 * 2 Palacio Outlet stores
 * Free-standing fashion brand stores in shopping malls.

Original downtown flagship
The original store and historic flagship (1891, rebuilt and reopened 1921), still operates along the north side of Venustiano Carranza street in the Historic center of Mexico City, one block south of the Zócalo (main square), between 5 de Febrero and 20 de Noviembre avenues.

Durango, Colonia Roma
The Durango store, on Durango street in Colonia Roma Norte, is the only other freestanding Palacio, and was the first branch store, opened in 1958. The architects José Aspe Sais and Vladimir Kaspé designed it in functionalist style, and the department store construction expert constructed the building in only 16 months. In 1967, under visionary leadership of Alberto Baillères, the Durango store was remodeled and modernized. Harper’s Bazaar called it the "Store of the Century" due its modern character.

Polanco flagship
Since its complete remodel and reopening in 2016, the de facto flagship store is the 4-story, 55248 sqm freestanding store in Polanco designed by architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, which the company gave the nickname "El Palacio de los Palacios", "the Palace of the Palaces"). The advertising campaign for the 2016 relaunch of the store was "Polanco tiene un nuevo corazón: El Palacio de los Palacios" ("Polanco has a new heart: The Palace of Palaces") and featured top models David Gandy, Isabeli Fontana and Carmen Dell'Orefice. 10,000 people attended the re-opening event on November 6, 2016. Javier Sordo Madaleno was the architect; TPG Architecture designed the interiors of the lower two floors, Gensler the upper two floors.

Each floor was designed with a theme of different famous neighborhoods in Mexico City, a nickname of which is the "City of Palaces":
 * The ground floor, with the cometics area and luxury brand boutiques (with internal walls or similar features distinguishing them as separate spaces from, with distinct entrances from, the main store area. The turn-of-the-20th-century Paris-inspired Paseo de la Reforma, and the colonial Alameda Central park are the themes of this floor.
 * The 1st floor up (U.S.: 2nd floor) with the women's and children's areas, recreates Lomas de Chapultepec and Polanco
 * The 2nd floor up, (U.S.: 3rd floor) with the gourmet food hall, men's and technology departmnets, has the Roma and Condesa areas as its inspiration. The food hall is partially inside from and partially on a 1500 sqm patio with views over Polanco.
 * The 3rd floor up (U.S.: 4th floor) with the home store, emulates Jardines del Pedregal

The property originally was a mall called Molière222, opened in 1997, and included a smaller Palacio store; in 2015 the mall area was incorporated into the Palacio store as part of the US$300 million remodel and expansion.

Coyoacán (Mitikah)
In 2022, a new store at the new Mítikah shopping center in Xoco neighborhoods adjacent to Coyoacán replaced the store built in 1989 just to the west at the Centro Coyoacán mall. The new Coyoacán Palacio has 5 levels and 38000 sqm of floor space in the current phase, with plans to expand to 47000 sqm. It features a 9.7 m-high crystal dome measuring 1652 sqm at its base and which uses 2100 sqft of crystal and 163 metric tons of metal.

Others
There are 4 other full-line Palacio branches in Greater Mexico City, and like the Mitikah store, each anchors an upscale mall across the metropolitan area's affluent western half: Perisur (1980), Santa Fe (1993), Satélite (1998), and Interlomas (2011).

There are 6 full-line Palacio stores in the rest of the country, one each in Greater Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Querétaro, Veracruz, and Villahermosa.

Boutiques
In 2001, Grupo Palacio de Hierro opened its first freestanding branded boutiques: Mango in the Centro Coyoacán mall and Springfield in Galerías Monterrey.

Locations
Stores operated by Grupo Palacio de Hierro, not including fashion brand free-standing boutique stores.

Yang Sung-sook

Brigadier-General Yang Sung-sook was a South Korean army officer.

Yang was born in 1949/50 and attended Chonnam National University from which she graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing science. She joined the Republic of Korea Army in 1973 as a second lieutenant. By 2001 Yang had reached the rank of colonel. That year she was promoted to brigadier-general upon assuming command of the Military Nursing Academy. Yang was the first woman in South Korea to become a general officer. Yang was quoted at the time as saying: "As the nation's first female general, I will do my best for the military and the country. I hope this promotion will encourage other female officers"

The press coverage around Yang's appointment has been used as an example of gendered news reporting: South Korean press reports complimented Yang on her skill at making kimchi soup and in applying her make-up, rather than any military expertise. Yang retired from the military in 2004.

1970 British Open playoff
While the PGA Tour counts Jack Nicklaus playoff victory as an official win though it wasn't considered a Tour event at the time, they didn't include the playoff in either Nicklaus or Sanders records. I did some checking. The 1963 British Open playoff participants, Bob Charles and Phil Rodgers plus Tom Watson and Jack Newton from 1975, don't have their participation in their open championship playoffs in their playoff records either.

I'll include them if I get some consensus from other golf editors.- William 18:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Doug Sanders' short swing
Years ago as a sports writer with the Pensacola, Florida News-Journal I got to know Doug quite well during the Tour's annual stop at the Pensacola Country Club tournament. He'll remember my article to Golf Magazine about him and his little dog. However, my reason for writing is to pass along his reasons for his abbreviated golf swing as he told to me. As a young fellow working on a golf course in (I believe Georgia) he said the management did not allow caddies to play golf, so he chose to practice his swing behind a bush which shielded him from the pro running that particular country club course. In order to not be noticed, he would tee up behind the bush and make as short a swing as possible so as not to be seen by the management. Regards, Jim Pomeroy — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Jim, thanks for sharing that anecdote about the origins of Doug Sanders' notoriously short swing. Does your Golf magazine article exist somewhere om the internet that we could link to it?  Or do you have a file copy of the article that you could transmit as a PDF email attachment?  Wikipedia's policy regarding the biographies of living persons ("BLP") requires us to source all statements about living persons.  If we had a copy of your Golf magazine article that would no doubt help us flesh out the Wikipedia article.  Regards.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:38, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan

The Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan (Қазақстан Республикасының Бас Прокуратурасы) is a state body accountable to the President of Kazakhstan, exercising supreme supervision over the precise and uniform application of laws, decrees of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other regulatory legal acts on the territory of the Republic, over the legality of operational-search activities, inquiry and investigation, administrative and enforcement proceedings.

History
On 13 July 1922, at the 2nd convocation of the 3rd session of the KazCEC, the State Prosecutor's Office was organized in the structure of the People's Commissariat of Justice. The People's Commissar of Justice served as the prosecutor of the republic.

In 1933, under the People's Commissariat of Justice, the Office of the Prosecutor's Office was formed, which became relatively independent. For the first time in its history, the functions of the prosecutor and the People's Commissar of Justice were separated.

In 1937, the Constitution of the Kazakh SSR was adopted. From that moment, the stage of further development and strengthening of the Prosecutor's Office began, which completely separated from the People's Commissariat of Justice in November 1937 according to the order and began to function as an independent structure of the republic's law enforcement agencies.

After Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991, the Prosecutor's Office played a huge role in the formation of the country's statehood.

Rebecca Green

Rebecca "Becca" Green is an American illustrator, author, and painter who is known for children's books.

Biography
Rebecca Green was born in Owosso, Michigan. She has also lived in Osaka, Nashville, Phoenix, and Denver. She graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design with a bachelor of fine arts in illustration in 2010.

Career
Green was named 21 of 100 creative forces in Phoenix in the Phoenix New Times.

She has illustrated more than one dozen books written by other authors. She has written and illustrated one book, How to Make Friends with a Ghost (Tundra Books, 2017), which the Jim Henson Company began developing for a series in 2021.

Green is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Critical reception
Publishers Weekly wrote of Green's illustrations in Iqbal and His Ingenious Idea: How a Science Project Helps One Family and the Planet (Kids Can Press, 2018): "The stylized colored-pencil illustrations from Green offer realistic scenes of Bangladeshi village life in muted hues and portray the closeness of Iqbal’s family"; Kirkus Reviews wrote, "Green's illustrations are earthy and colorful and perfectly capture the soul of the story".

Publishers Weekly called her illustrations in A Year with Mama Earth (Eerdmans, 2019) as "stylized, textural". Kirkus Reviews noted her work in Becoming a Good Creature (HMH Books, 2020) was "visually pleasing illustrations... rendered in a warm, earth-hued palette, and they have an uncomplicated design that effectively complements the story’s wise, authentic narrative".

Kirkus Reviews said Green's work in Madame Saqui: Revolutionary Rope Dancer (Schwartz & Wade/Random, 2020) was "muted, stylized". About the same book, Publishers Weekly said, "mixed media illustrations by Green in dusky pastels provide period atmosphere with fancy costumes, dramatic lighting, and figures that look just a bit like marionettes".

The woodcut and German expressionistic appearance of the illustrations in Kafka and the Doll (Viking, 2021) made an impression on one reviewer. A starred review by Booklist noted, "Green tops off her muted scenes of button-eyed figures in, alternately, autumnal and far-flung settings."

In a starred review for A Bear Far from Home (Anne Schwartz/Random, 2022), Booklist wrote, "Green’s marvelous folk-style illustrations take their cues from medieval artwork, framing scenes with thick, gold borders and flowery flourishes". In another review, her work was noted for "presenting varied human skin tones throughout"; the review continues, "Green’s stylized gouache and pencil renderings complement through their use of ornate, medieval-inspired borders and floral flourishes".

Kirkus Reviews said Green's work in Loujain Dreams of Sunflowers: A Story Inspired by Loujain Alhathloul (minedition, 2022) was "beautifully representational".

Kirkus Reviews commented that her first book as both writer and illustrator, How to Make Friends with a Ghost (Tundra Books, 2017), had "a sophisticated, rather adult aesthetic."

The Craig School

The Craig School is an independent, private coeducational day school located in Mountain Lakes and Montville, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in second through twelfth grades.

As of the 2019–20 school year, the school had an enrollment of 127 students and 46.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 2.7:1. The school's student body was 80.3% (102) White, 9.4% (12) Black, 6.3% (8) Asian, 2.4% (3) Hispanic and 1.6% (2) two or more races. The Lower /Middle School director is Jennifer Guthrie, the High School director is Eric Caparulo, and Susan Schmitt is the Head of School.

The Craig School was founded in 1980. The school specializes in the education of children who have encountered difficulty succeeding in the traditional classroom environment. The Craig School specializes in students limited to dyslexia, auditory processing disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, using a language-based curriculum. The Craig High School was added in 2000. In 2013, The Craig High School moved to new shared facilities at the Boonton High School.

In September 2015, the school acquired its current Lower and Middle School facilities, and administrative building, located in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, from The Wilson School (which is now defunct). Following the purchase, The Craig School will begin a renovation program on the Mountain Lakes facilities, including the expansion of the school's Orton Gillingham teaching wing for students with dyslexia and related academic learning disabilities, science lab and technology teaching areas and art studio space. A new occupational therapy room is also in the preliminary plan. The renovation program, which will be managed to avoid operational disruption, is expected to be completed by September 2016.

Accreditation
The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 2002 and is accredited until July 2027. The Craig School is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and New Jersey Association of Independent Schools.

In 2010, The Craig High School formed its own chapter of the National Honor Society, and in 2012, formed its own chapter of the National Art Honor Society.

Athletics
On three Fridays during the month of January and into February, students are taken to ski or snowboard at Mount Peter in Warwick, New York, as part of the physical education program.

Txutxi

Jesús Emilio Díez de Mier (born 7 January 1973), known as Txutxi, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.

He appeared in 304 Segunda División games during 11 seasons, mainly in representation of Bilbao Athletic and Badajoz. In La Liga, he played with Athletic Bilbao.

Football career
Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Txutxi joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system at the age of 17. He spent four full seasons competing with the reserves in Segunda División, being relegated in 1996; on 22 October 1992, he made his debut for the main squad, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Xerez CD for the Copa del Rey.

Txutxi first appeared in La Liga courtesy of manager Dragoslav Stepanović – exactly three years after his first competitive match – a 0–0 home draw to RCD Español in which he again played the entire game. After leaving the Basques he resumed his career in the second level, with UE Lleida and CD Badajoz, eventually becoming team captain at the latter.

In December 2001, Txutxi signed for Segunda División B club Hércules CF. He retired in June 2005 aged 32, after a spell with amateurs Sangonera Atlético CF.

Drug scandal
In February 2009 Txutxi, alongside former footballers Carlos de la Vega and Predrag Stanković, was arrested in connection with an anti-drug operation in Madrid. Both he and Stanković were condemned to nine years in 2014 (confirmation in 2015) – as five other people received sentences that ranged from four to 12 years, with de la Vega being one of two persons acquitted – for smuggling 950 kg of cocaine into the country.

Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Hot Keys

I'd like to see some more detailed information for most of these keyboard shortcuts. -Spiderworm 15:34, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Me too. Also difference between Shortcuts in Edit and Object mode.--Popski 08:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Blender 2.36 HotKeys
Ok, I converted this Hotkeys from official Blender PDF file. Please use official Hotkeys names in your articles! --Popski 14:21, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

The name of this page
Shouldn't it be "Modeling Hot Keys"? To distinguish between modeling hot keys and other hot keys? --Spiderworm 20:21, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? This HotKeys aren't just about modeling. --Popski 09:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmmm... good point. I figured we'd have a hotkeys page for modeling, and separate pages for hotkeys for other things, such as animation, etc.  If we're going to have one master page for hotkeys, it should be moved out of the modeling section.  Having a page full of hotkeys that are not specific to modeling should not be in the modeling section.  But here's another thought.  Maybe we don't do the hotkeys page at all, because I have planned (though I've done nothing about it yet) to create a keyboard shortcuts Blender reference here Blender_3D:_Hotkeys_Reference.  We could then link to the appropriate sections of the hotkey book from the noob to pro book for the user to look over.  What do you think?  --Spiderworm 00:30, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Probably is good to have somewhere all collected HotKeys, but if you need specific HotKeys for sections then just make proper link name and copy right part from collected HotKeys... Maybe this collected HotKeys need to be WikiBook on it's own: Blender 3D: Hotkeys. What do you think? --Popski 09:47, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree, let's create a hotkeys wikibook, either called Blender_3D:_Hotkeys_Reference or Blender 3D: Hotkeys. Lets make sure we link to it via the Blender_3D page.  --Spiderworm 18:13, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, did it. Blender HotKeys is official Blender name so I have put it under Blender 3D: Hotkeys, now you can cut and move this page, because I don't how you will name it now. --Popski 18:51, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Confusing "key" names
Formatting of "keys" is confusing when initially coming to this documentation. RMB = Right mouse button MMB = Left LMB = Middle When you see these in the middle of documentation there is no context to flag them as "keys" and therefore it is confusing. Even on the "keys" page it is initially confusing because the average user isn't going to understand mouse buttons as "keys".

Not as confusing is the inconsistency in documenting letter keys: When a single letter is the "key" it is documented as "LetterKEY". When a combination of keys are pressed its labeled as "Key + Letter".

Martin Janecký

Martin Janecký (born 29 February 1980, in Liberec) is a Czech glass artist who has also worked extensively in the United States. He creates glass sculptures by shaping the hot glass bubbles from the inside. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums in Europe as well as in the United States.

About
Martin Janecký began working with glass at the age of thirteen at his father's factory in the Czech Republic. After graduating from the Glass School in Nový Bor he gained experiences in South Africa, Sweden, and the Netherlands. In 2003 Janecký made his first trip to the United States where he studied at the Pilchuck Glass School under Richard Royal and William Morris. Soon Janecký became an instructor at various glass programs all over the world, such as The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Craft, the Australian National University in Canberra, University of Toyama. In 2019 Janecký founded his own glass studio - Janecký Studio, in the centre of Prague.

Artwork
Czech artist Martin Janecký focuses on the technique of hot glass sculpting from within the bubble, creating highly realistic heads at life-sized scale by hot-working the glass on the pipe in innovative ways. He learned the basics of this method from William Morris. Nevertheless, Janecký perfected this technique, mastered only by a few people around the world, and adapted it to his ideas. He added his own techniques to take three-dimensional glass into portraiture, with new levels of detail and precision. His heads, figures and skulls are inspired by art history and ethnic masks.

Following a 2013 visit to Mexico, Janecký concentrated on an exploration of the human skull. He was inspired by the rich iconography surrounding the rituals of the Mexican holiday Día de Los Muertos (the Day of the Dead). In 2017, Janecký worked at The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass as an Artist-In-Residence where he created a body of work called “Día de Muertos”, attempting to translate his fascination with the Mexican celebration into glass. The collection of artwork was exhibited in the Heller Gallery in New York City in 2018.

Sea captain

A sea captain, ship's captain, captain, master, or shipmaster, is a high-grade licensed mariner who holds ultimate command and responsibility of a merchant vessel. The captain is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the ship, including its seaworthiness, safety and security, cargo operations, navigation, crew management, and legal compliance, and for the persons and cargo on board.

Duties and functions
The captain ensures that the ship complies with local and international laws and complies also with company and flag state policies. The captain is ultimately responsible, under the law, for aspects of operation such as the safe navigation of the ship, its cleanliness and seaworthiness, safe handling of all cargo, management of all personnel, inventory of ship's cash and stores, and maintaining the ship's certificates and documentation.

One of a shipmaster's particularly important duties is to ensure compliance with the vessel's security plan, as required by the International Maritime Organization's ISPS Code. The plan, customized to meet the needs of each individual ship, spells out duties including conducting searches and inspections, maintaining restricted spaces, and responding to threats from terrorists, hijackers, pirates, and stowaways. The security plan also covers topics such as refugees and asylum seekers, smuggling, and saboteurs.

On ships without a purser, the captain is in charge of the ship's accounting. This includes ensuring an adequate amount of cash on board, coordinating the ship's payroll (including draws and advances), and managing the ship's slop chest.

On international voyages, the captain is responsible for satisfying requirements of the local immigration and customs officials. Immigration issues can include situations such as embarking and disembarking passengers, handling crew members who desert the ship, making crew changes in port, and making accommodations for foreign crew members. Customs requirements can include the master providing a cargo declaration, a ship's stores declaration, a declaration of crew members' personal effects, crew lists and passenger lists.

The captain has special responsibilities when the ship or its cargo are damaged or when the ship causes damage to other vessels or facilities. The master acts as a liaison to local investigators and is responsible for providing complete and accurate logbooks, reports, statements and evidence to document an incident. Specific examples of the ship causing external damage include collisions with other ships or with fixed objects, grounding the vessel, and dragging anchor. Some common causes of cargo damage include heavy weather, water damage, pilferage, and damage caused during loading/unloading by the stevedores.

All persons on board including public authorities, crew, and passengers are under the captain's authority and are his or her ultimate responsibility, particularly during navigation. In the case of injury or death of a crew member or passenger, the master is responsible to address any medical issues affecting the passengers and crew by providing medical care as possible, cooperating with onshore medical personnel, and, if necessary, evacuating those who need more assistance than can be provided on board the ship.

Performing marriages
There is a common belief that ship captains have historically been, and currently are, able to perform marriages. This depends on the country of registry, however most do not permit performance of a marriage by the master of a ship at sea.

In the United States Navy, a captain's powers are defined by its 1913 Code of Regulations, specifically stating: "The commanding officer shall not perform a marriage ceremony on board his ship or aircraft. He shall not permit a marriage ceremony to be performed on board when the ship or aircraft is outside the territory of the United States." However, there may be exceptions "in accordance with local laws and the laws of the state, territory, or district in which the parties are domiciled" and "in the presence of a diplomatic or consular official of the United States, who has consented to issue the certificates and make the returns required by the consular regulations."

Furthermore, in the United States, there have been a few contradictory legal precedents: courts did not recognize a shipboard marriage in California's 1898 Norman v. Norman but did in New York's 1929 Fisher v. Fisher (notwithstanding the absence of municipal laws so carried) and in 1933's Johnson v. Baker, an Oregon court ordered the payment of death benefits to a widow because she had established that her marriage at sea was lawful. However, in Fisher v. Fisher the involvement of the ship's captain was irrelevant to the outcome. New Jersey's 1919 Bolmer v. Edsall said a shipboard marriage ceremony is governed by the laws of the nation where ownership of the vessel lies.

In the United Kingdom, the captain of a merchant ship has never been permitted to perform marriages, although from 1854 any which took place had to be reported in the ship's log. A ship's master can, however, conduct a church service, regardless of any clergy aboard.

Spanish and Filipino law, as narrow exceptions, recognise a marriage in articulo mortis (on the point of death) solemnized by the captain of a ship or chief of an aeroplane during a voyage, or by the commanding officer of a military unit.

Japan allows ship captains to perform a marriage ceremony at sea, but only for Japanese citizens. Malta, Bermuda and the Bahamas permit captains of ships registered in their jurisdictions to perform marriages at sea. Princess Cruises, whose ships are registered in Bermuda, has used this as a selling point for their cruises, while Cunard moved the registration of its ships Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth from Southampton to Bermuda in 2011 to allow marriages to be conducted on their ships.

Some captains obtain other credentials (such as ordination as ministers of religion or accreditation as notaries public), which allow them to perform marriages in some jurisdictions where they would otherwise not be permitted to do so. Another possibility is a wedding on a ship in port, under the authority of an official from that port.

In works of fiction, ship captains have performed marriages in various media, including the 1951 film The African Queen, and episodes of The Love Boat, How I Met Your Mother, The Office and various Star Trek series.

United Kingdom
As of 2008, the U.K. Learning and Skills Council lists annual salaries for senior deck officers as ranging from £22,000 to over £50,000 per year. The Council characterizes job opportunities for senior deck officers as "generally good" and expects a "considerable increase" in the job market over the next few years.

United States
As of 2013, captains of U.S.-flagged deep sea vessels make up to US$1,500 per day, or US$80,000 to US$300,000 per year. Captains of smaller vessels in the inland and coastal trade earn between US$350 and US$700 per day, or US$65,000 to $180,000 per year. Captains of large ferries average US$56,794 annually.

In 2005, 3,393 mariners held active unlimited master's licenses. 87 held near-coastal licenses with unlimited tonnage, 291 held unlimited tonnage master's licenses on inland and Great Lakes waters, while 1,044 held unlimited licenses upon inland waters only. Some 47,163 active masters licenses that year had tonnage restrictions, well over half of those being for near-coastal vessels of up to 100 tons gross tonnage.

As of 2006, some 34,000 people were employed as captains, mates, and pilots of water vessels in the United States. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 18% growth in this occupation, expecting demand for 40,000 shipmasters in 2016.

Uniform
Uniforms are worn aboard many ships, or aboard any vessels of traditional and organized navigation companies, and are required by company regulation on passenger and cruise vessels.

In the passenger-carrying trade a unified corporate image is often desired and it is useful for those unfamiliar with the vessel to be able to identify members of the crew and their function. Some companies and some countries use an executive curl similar to that of the Royal Navy.

In the United States, and in numerous other maritime countries, captains and officers of shipping companies may wear a merchant navy or merchant marine regular uniform in conjunction with their employment.

 * Rank insignia for sea captains

Captain's seniority
In a few countries, such as UK, USA and Italy, some captains with particular experience in navigation and command at sea, may be named commodore or senior captain or captain senior grade.

Master
The term master is descended from the Latin magister navis, used during the imperial Roman age to designate the nobleman (patrician) who was in ultimate authority on board a vessel. The magister navis had the right to wear the laurus or corona laurèa and the corona navalis. Carrying on this tradition, the modern-day shipmaster of some nations wears golden laurel leaves or golden oak leaves on the visor of his cap.

Skipper
A skipper (sometimes also serving as the helmansperson, helmsman, or driver) is a person who has command of a boat or watercraft or tug, more or less equivalent to "captain in charge aboard ship." At sea, or upon lakes and rivers, the skipper as shipmaster or captain has command over the whole crew. The skipper may or may not be the owner of the boat.

The word is derived from the Dutch word schipper; schip is Dutch for "ship". In Dutch sch- is pronounced and English-speakers rendered this as.

The word "skipper" is used more than "captain" for some types of craft, for example fishing boats.

It is also more frequently used than captain with privately owned noncommercial or semi-commercial vessels, such as small yachts and other recreational boats, mostly in cases where the person in command of the boat may not be a licensed or professional captain, suggesting the term is less formal. In the U.S., a "skipper" who is in command of a charter vessel that carries paying passengers must be licensed by a state or the United States Coast Guard. If the vessel carries over six paying passengers, it must be an "inspected vessel" and a higher class license must be obtained by the skipper/master depending on the vessel's gross tons.

In the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and merchant naval slang, it is a term used in reference to the commanding officer of any ship, base, or other command regardless of rank. It is generally only applied to someone who has earned the speaker's respect, and only used with the permission of the commander/commanding officer in question.

Skipper RNR was an actual rank used in the British Royal Naval Reserve for skippers of fishing boats who were members of the service. It was equivalent to Warrant Officer. Skippers could also be promoted to Chief Skipper RNR (equivalent to Commissioned Warrant Officer) and Skipper Lieutenant RNR.

Shirenewton Hall

Shirenewton Hall, originally Shirenewton Court, is a country house and estate adjoining the village of Shirenewton, Monmouthshire, Wales, about 3 mi west of Chepstow. The 29.5 acre estate is located on a hillside, and commands views across the "Golden Valley" to the west and the Severn Estuary in the south. The main building was constructed around 1830, and partly rebuilt around 1900–1910, on the site of an earlier house which was the birthplace of William Blethyn, Bishop of Llandaff. The house is now a Grade II listed building, and the teahouse in the adjoining Japanese garden is listed as Grade II*. The gardens are included on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The estate is not open to the public.

History
Prior to the construction of Shirenewton Court, an earlier building was occupied since the Middle Ages by the Blethyn (or Bleddyn) family. It was William Blethyn's birthplace, probably around 1520; he died in 1590.

Shirenewton Hall was built around 1830 in an Italianate style on or near the site of the older building. It was built for William Hollis by an unknown architect. Hollis, a descendant of an industrialist family who developed paper mills at nearby Mounton, was the Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1831.

About fifty years after Shirenewton Hall's construction, when it was no longer known as Shirenewton Court, the Blethyn family had "descended in the social scale", and sold the property to Edward Joseph Lowe. He was a botanist, horticulturalist, meteorologist and writer who was largely responsible for designing and planting the surrounding gardens. Lowe added two open pavilions, the larger being of sandstone with a glazed tile roof, while the smaller had a copper roof. He also added a summer house with a marble sundial. Lowe wrote many books on the cultivation of woodland ferns and some species of these grow around the churchyard walls at Shirenewton Church.

After Lowe's death in 1900, the estate was sold to Charles Oswald Liddell, a wealthy shipping merchant who traded with China and Japan and who became Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1918. Liddell's renovations included exchanging the Italianate facade with a Jacobean style in 1901. An east wing, added in 1909, was designed by Chepstow architect Norman Evill, a pupil of Edwin Lutyens; it included a billiard room, loggia, and belvedere tower. The north end of the house was also remodeled. Various stones were used during the renovation, including mauve Old Red Sandstone and yellow Bath stone.

In 1988, the BBC television film The Woman He Loved, about the abdication of King Edward VIII, starring Anthony Andrews and Olivia de Havilland and Jane Seymour, was partly shot at the estate. The property remains a private home that is not open to the public, although the grounds have occasionally been used for fundraising events. It has been placed on the market for sale on a number of occasions in the 21st century.

Architecture
The west entrance front of the house, and the south front facing the gardens, are of two storeys, roughly symmetrical. They feature parapet gables and ball finials. In the southern elevation, there is an Italianate veranda and stone pillar archways. A walled, flagged terrace includes a pond and fountain.

The treatment of the Elizabethan style central hall and staircase have been described as a "great dramatic coup". Other features include the two-storeyed hall, an atrium, an upper balcony which holds an organ, a ballroom, and a second lower balcony which enjoys great views from a high window. The dining room, designed in 1910, is by Murray Adams-Acton. The hall has a master bedroom suite with two dressing rooms and a bathroom, plus eleven further bedrooms, extensive cellars and a heated indoor pool. The house is a Grade II listed building.

Grounds
The grounds include a Japanese garden, containing six ponds at different levels; a teahouse, now a Grade II* listed building; two bridges, one painted red and the other of stone; and winding pathways. Many of the plants and trees were grown from seed brought back by Liddell from the Far East. The east lawn has an immense 1.5 t temple bell hanging under a pagoda style roof which was brought to the hall in 1903 after the Boxer Rebellion in China. The gardens are listed at Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The estate also contains stables of classical design, dating from the 1830s and now converted into residential accommodation. A roadside entrance lodge in Tudor style was designed by Evill.

Talk:Douglas Terman

Untitled
Is there a verifiable source showing that the military author and the Choose Your Own Adventure author are the same person? "D. Terman" is a suspiciously apt name for a gamebook author, and the gamebook fans at gamebooks.org point out strong indications that the actual author was R. A. Montgomery. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Metropolitan Boston Hockey League

The Metropolitan Boston Hockey League was a youth hockey league founded March 31, 1977, and incorporated in Massachusetts in August 1979.

The MBHL was unique in youth hockey. The MBHL was classified as an "AAA" or "Tier I" league. Within the league, modified NCAA rules were played, the same as in U.S. college hockey. Slapshots and body checking were allowed at all age levels. The league believed that it was critical to develop those skills before young players had a chance to develop bad habits in their absence. A core belief of the MBHL was that hockey should be “played the way hockey is meant to be played, at any age and by either gender.” The league was also open to young women who felt they were physically capable to "play Metro" with and against boys.

MBHL league play began the first weekend after Labor Day and concluded with playoffs in late March of the following year. No other Minor hockey organization in North America—or the world, permitted body checking or slapshots as early as the Mite level.

The MBHL had Twenty Two original organizations (some teams changed the team names): Assabet Valley Patriots, Acton Colonials, Bay State Sharks, Plymouth County All Stars, North Shore Raiders, Hobomock U.S.A. (became New England Falcons, now Bridgewater Bandits), The Worcester Crusaders, UMass Lowell River Hawks men's ice hockey (formerly Lowell Chiefs, then West River Wolves), Mass Bay Chiefs, St. Moritz Devils and the Springfield Pics. The Bay State Breakers, Boston Jr. Eagles, Boston Jr. Terriers, West River Wolves, Bridgewater Bandits, Middlesex Islanders, Minuteman Flames, Providence Capitals (formerly Providence Friars), South Shore Kings, Merrimack Cardinals, and Top Gun all left the MBHL in 2004 for the Eastern Hockey Federation.

Upon the league's discontinuation after the end of the 2008–2009 season, most remaining teams transferred to the New England Hockey League, which has since been split into the Boston Hockey League and the Elite 9 Hockey League.

Teams
The MBHL had 9 Member Organization in its last season (see table at bottom).

 * Eu Sou
 * Tu És
 * Ele/Ela É
 * Nós Somos
 * Vós Sois
 * Eles/Elas São

to be: ESTAR (as in "I am at the cinema" - eu estou no cinema) this verb indicates something temporary Present simple conjugation:
 * Eu estou
 * Tu estás

Note that vós is no longer in use by any Portuguese speakers. Tu is used only in Portugal between very close family members, or friends. Portuguese still uses the future subjunctive tense, unique amongst other Romance languages.

What Is a Procedural Task?
A procedural task involves performing a procedure, which is a sequence of activities to achieve a goal. Synonyms include method, technique, skill, and rule (sometimes). A procedure can be either of two types:

 * A physical procedure, which entails the execution of physical movements, like performing a serve in tennis.
 * A mental procedure, which entails the execution of mental operations, like adding two numbers in your head.

Actually, most procedures are a combination of physical and mental activities. However, usually only one of the two kinds of activities needs to be taught—the other has already been mastered. A case in point is the procedure for writing an essay; we assume that the physical activity of writing has already been mastered.

Why Are Procedural Tasks Important?
In almost everything we do, we do it at least partially by using a procedure (following steps), from reading, writing, and arithmetic, to flying airplanes, doing our jobs, using our cars, cooking our meals, and getting dressed. We even use procedures to classify concepts. Often we invent appropriate procedures based on our understanding of relevant principles. In essence, procedures are the form of almost everything we do. Given the importance of procedural skills in our professional and personal lives, it is essential that instructional developers and instructors know how to teach them well.
