# Stalin Wasn't Stallin'

"Stalin Wasn't Stallin' (A Modern Spiritual)" was a song written in 1943 by Willie Johnson and originally recorded by the a cappella gospel group the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet (of which Johnson was a member) in 1943. Robert Wyatt recorded a cover of the song in 1980.

## Background

"Stalin Wasn't Stallin'" was written during World War II, and praises the efforts of Joseph Stalin in his stand against Adolf Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. United States president Franklin D. Roosevelt had declared in a 28 July 1943 speech that:
   The world has never seen greater devotion, determination, and self sacrifice, that have been displayed by the Russian people and their armies under the leadership of Marshall Joseph Stalin.
The United States and the Soviet Union were co-belligerents during the war and many decisive battles occurred between the Soviets and Germany that changed the direction of the war.

## Original recording

The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet spoke (or sermonized) the lyrics of the song against a rhythm of back-up vocals. It was a moderate hit in 1943. It has since appeared on several compilation records, including Gospel Greats: 60 Legendary Performances (The Soho Collection, 2005).

## Covers

Robert Wyatt covered the song in 1980, emulating an a cappella group by singing in four-part harmony (achieved by multi-tracking). Wyatt's interest in the song was that he wanted to remind the West of the selective memory they had during the Cold War about this earlier alliance. The cover was released as a single in 1981 with "Stalingrad", a poem about the Battle of Stalingrad, written and read by Peter Blackman, on the "B" side. "Stalin Wasn't Stallin'" and "Stalingrad" also appeared on Wyatt's 1982 album Nothing Can Stop Us. Wyatt had heard Blackman recite the poem in 1979 to an enthusiastic audience that apart from Wyatt, also included Jack Dash, a famous communist trade unionist and leader of many British dock workers. When Blackman was finished, Wyatt convinced him to record it and this was the recording that ended up in the single and album.

# War Department Halt railway station

The War Department halt was an informal railway station on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent, England. Over the 15 years that the station was open, its location is believed to have moved several times. Details are scarce as this was a secret military installation, but the end of the War Department branch line moved as building work moved onto new stages. When the installation closed in 1945 the railway company took over the line for freight shipment of ballast. Again, the end point of the line changed several times as the exact location of extraction of ballast changed, until closure of the branch in 1951. The locations of the halt are now under water owing to subsequent commercial extractions and flooding of the ballast pits.

## Military origins

In 1929 a branch line was constructed curving away inland from south of Romney Sands station (then known as Maddieson's Camp). This line was constructed at the request of the War Office and provided a train service to a secret military installation working on acoustic aircraft detection at Denge. Their work was highly successful, but almost immediately replaced by the superior invention known as radar.

## Operation

The War Department operated their own locomotive, which was stabled at Hythe engine shed, and for which they had running rights for the full length of the railway. This is the only independently owned locomotive to have seen long-term service on the railway. They operated daily staff trains between Hythe station and the end of the branch line. As this was always known as the War Department Line, its terminal stop was the War Department Halt.

## Post-war use

After World War II the War Office abandoned both the project and the line. The railway company took over the War Department locomotive (assigning it to the Permanent Way Department) and also the War Department Line, using it for freight-only services, transporting shingle to Hythe where it was transferred to road transport. As a freight-only service, the War Department halt may be said to have closed at the end of the war, as passengers no longer alighted at this location. However, freight-only traffic continued on the line until 1951. The final use of the branch was for the temporary storage of a train whose locomotive had failed in service nearby, thus allowing the continued use of the single-track mainline by other trains. This incident was in the Autumn of 1951, and the branch line's tracks were lifted a few weeks later as part of winter engineering works, 1951–52.

# Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966

Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 with the song "Intet er nytt under solen", written by Arne Bendiksen, and performed by Åse Kleveland. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 1966 in order to select its entry for the contest.

## Before Eurovision
### Melodi Grand Prix 1966

Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) held the Melodi Grand Prix 1966 at Centralteatret in Oslo, hosted by Øivind Bergh. Five performers and songs took part in the final with each song sung twice by different singers, once with a small combo and once with a full orchestra. The winning song was chosen by voting from ten regional juries.
MGP - 5 February 1966 :
| Letter | Draw | Singer | Arrangement | Song | Points | Place |
| A | 1 | Wenche Myhre | Combo | "Lørdagstripp" | 6 | 4 |
| A | 8 | Kirsti Sparboe | Orchestra | "Lørdagstripp" | 6 | 4 |
| B | 7 | Grynet Molvig | Combo | "Ung og forelsket" | 7 | 3 |
| B | 2 | Anita Thallaug | Orchestra | "Ung og forelsket" | 7 | 3 |
| C | 3 | Kirsti Sparboe | Combo | "Gi meg fri" | 11 | 2 |
| C | 6 | Åse Kleveland | Orchestra | "Gi meg fri" | 11 | 2 |
| D | 9 | Åse Kleveland | Combo | "Intet er nytt under solen" | 22 | 1 |
| D | 4 | Grynet Molvig | Orchestra | "Intet er nytt under solen" | 22 | 1 |
| E | 5 | Anita Thallaug | Combo | "Vims" | 4 | 5 |
| E | 10 | Wenche Myhre | Orchestra | "Vims" | 4 | 5 |

## At Eurovision

On the evening of the final Kleveland performed 6th in the running order, following Yugoslavia and preceding Finland. "Intet er nytt under solen" was an unusual and adventurous song for Eurovision at the time, with a sophisticated, atmospheric instrumental arrangement, and a 5/4 time signature. Kleveland was the first female performer in Eurovision to appear on stage with a guitar, and the first female performer to appear in trousers rather than a dress or skirt. Voting was by each national jury awarding 5-3-1 to their top 3 songs, and at the close "Intet er nytt under solen" had picked up 15 points (5 from Italy, 3s from Austria, Spain, and Sweden, and 1 from Germany), placing Norway third of the 18 entries. This was Norway's best Eurovision showing at the time, and would remain so until the victory of Bobbysocks! in 1985. Kleveland went on to present the 1986 contest in Bergen, the first to be hosted by Norway.

# Tommy Hanlon Jr.

Tommy Hanlon Jr. (14 August 1923 – 11 October 2003) was an American-born actor, comedian, television host and circus ringmaster, notable for his career in Australia after emigrating there in 1959, where he became a Gold Logie-award-winning media personality, in 1962. Hanlon was notable for his early television appearances on daytime television and as host of the Australian version of United States game show It Could Be You.

## Biography
### Early life

He was born Tommy Gene Thomason in Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1923, to vaudeville performers Homer Emmons Thomason (whose stage name was "Tommy Hanlon") and Ruth Dorothy Manning. He appeared in his parents' act at the age of four, and later took the stage name Tommy Hanlon Jr. after his father's stage name.

### Professional career

Hanlon first appeared on his own as a magician as a teenager and was an entertainer for the rest of his life. After two years with Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre in Los Angeles in the 1940s, and appearing on stage alongside W.C. Fields, he came to Australia in 1959, first as a club act, then appearing on television.
Hanlon became a major TV celebrity in Australia in the early 1960s, especially as host of the popular daytime program "It Could Be You" on the Nine Network, operating out of the GTV-9 studios in Melbourne. The program was a mixture of game show, human interest and humour. It featured tearful reunions of long separated families or friends. He typically closed each program sitting on a stool with a social commentary presented as a Letter from Mom.
After GTV-9 purchased radio station 3AK in April 1961, all GTV-9 personalities were expected to present programs on the new acquisition. Hanlon hosted a Saturday morning show with Jack Little as his sidekick.

### Awards

| Award | Association | Year | Work | Result |
| Gold Logie | Logie Awards | 1962 | | Won |
| Special Award | Logie Awards | 1963 | It Could Be You | Won |
He won two Logie awards, including the Gold Logie in 1962, opposite Australian entertainer Lorrae Desmond, and became one of the highest-paid entertainers in Australia.

### Circus career

In 1967, he bought into Ashton's Circus. In the 1970s, he hosted talent show Pot of Gold, with resident judge Bernard King who mocked most entrants mercilessly, to the consternation of the more kind-hearted Hanlon. Hanlon quit television in 1978 and toured Australia as a ringmaster with Silvers Circus.

### Personal life

He was honoured in an episode of This is Your Life filmed in August 2003.
Hanlon died from cancer in Melbourne on 11 October 2003, only weeks after suffering a heart attack. He was predeceased by his wife, Muriel (whom he always called Murphy), and survived by his daughter April Bell from that marriage and her son Jeff Almond. He was also survived by his first wife, Jean Gregory, his son by that marriage, Tommy Hanlon Thomason, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Despite his love for Australia, he never relinquished his United States citizenship.
# François Piquemal

François Piquemal (born 28 December 1984) is a French politician and educator who was elected to represent the Haute-Garonne's 4th constituency in the 2022 legislative election. A member of La France Insoumise, Piquemal ran as a candidate of the left-wing New Ecologic and Social People's Union (NUPES) coalition in 2022. Piquemal previously served as a municipal councilor in Toulouse, Occitania.

## Biography

Piquemal was born in Besançon. He lives in Toulouse's Patte d'Oie [fr] neighborhood.
Piquemal is a history and geography teacher. At the time of his election to the National Assembly, Piquemal served as a member of the Toulouse municipal council.

## 2022 National Assembly election

Piquemal officially entered the race for Haute-Garonne's 4th constituency on September 17, 2021. Piquemal made ending homelessness in France a top campaign priority, stating "It is not acceptable" for people to "die in the streets" in France. As a candidate, Piquemal was a vocal supporter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's 2022 presidential candidacy.
In the second round of the contest, Piquemal faced real estate company owner Marie-Claire Constans of the Ensemble Citoyens party. Piquemal won the contest with 59.26% of the vote versus the 40.74% received by Constans.

## Political views

As a candidate, issues central to Piquemal's program were ending homelessness, boosting consumer spending power through price freezes, and environmentalist policies. Amid the historic heat wave in France in June 2022, Piquemal criticized Macron's leadership and stressed that there is an "urgent need to act" on climate.
Following his victory, Piquemal stated that his movement was following in the "footsteps of Jean Jaurès".

## Refusal to shake hands

Piquemal drew international attention when, during voting to choose the president of the French National Assembly, he declined to shake the hand of secretary and National Rally MP Flavien Termet. A number of other MPs had also declined, but Piquemal chose to play Rock paper scissors with Termet in place of shaking his hand. He chose 'scissors', thereby making Termet's handshake appear to be a losing play of 'paper'.

Pelly Island is an uninhabited island in the Beaufort Sea. It is named for Sir John Pelly, 1st Baronet, the 17th Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company.
# Loti Kobalia

Vakhtang "Loti" Kobalia (Georgian: ვახტანგ [ლოთი] ქობალია) (born 1950) is a retired Georgian colonel involved in the civil war of the early 1990s in which he commanded forces loyal to the ousted President Zviad Gamsakhurdia.
Kobalia was a commander of the Zugdidi battalion of the National Guard of Georgia at the time when the armed opposition groups launched a coup against President Gamsakhurdia in December 1991. After Gamsakhurdia's fall in January 1992, Kobalia led resistance to the forces loyal to the new regime led, since March 1992, by Eduard Shevardnadze in the western Georgian province of Mingrelia, Gamsakhurdia's principal powerbase. During the War in Abkhazia in 1993, Kobalia's force joined the government troops in fighting the Abkhaz separatists and their allies from Russia at some point. As the government forces’ defeat in Abkhazia was imminent, Gamsakhurdia returned to Georgia to reclaim power from his base in Zugdidi. Kobalia began disarming the Georgian troops retreating from Abkhazia, blocked major roads in western Georgia and engaged with the government forces in a series of battles which eventually led to Gamsakhurdia's defeat at the end of 1993.
Kobalia was arrested by Ukrainian and Georgian security officers in Kyiv in July 1994. After a year-long trial, the Supreme Court of Georgia in 1996 found Kobalia guilty of treason, banditry, and execution of five captured soldiers and a TV journalist David Bolkvadze during the October 1993 hostilities, and sentenced him to death penalty, which was changed for 20-year imprisonment in 1997. Kobalia denied the charges and accused Shevardnadze's government of fabricating the case. In October 2000 Kobalia and several inmates from the civil war period escaped from the Prison Hospital in Tbilisi, but were recaptured 10 days later in the mountains in the northwest of Georgia. In 2004, he was pardoned by Georgia's newly sworn president Mikheil Saakashvili and released from jail as part of the National Accord policy, leading to protests from Bolkvadze's family and several journalists.
In October 2009, Kobalia joined the opposition party Movement for Fair Georgia, led by Georgia's ex-Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli.
# 2009 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary

A primary election was held for the first time among the members of Costa Rica’s Citizens’ Action Party (PAC), known as the Citizens' National Convention (Convención Nacional Ciudadana) for the selection of the party's candidate in the 2010 general election. This was a closed primary, as potential electors were required to register before the election up till April 30, 2009.
PAC is one of Costa Rica's major parties and was for this time the main oppositional political force, but unlike other major parties, has never until then held a primary for the nomination of the party's candidate, as previous candidate Ottón Solís was chosen by the party's National Assembly for the 2002 and 2006 general elections and was regarded as an almost indisputable party leader.
After negotiations with other party members interested in the nomination, most noticeable former deputy and vice-president nominee Epsy Campbell and businessman and scientist Román Macaya, the convention's date was established on May 31 of that year.
Several debates among PAC and PLN's candidate were organized in different colleges, NGOs and news networks. In PAC's case the most noticeable were May 17 in Repretel Canal 6, May 24 in Teletica Canal 7 and May 28 in government's own Canal 13, three of Costa Rica's main television channels.
The polls were open from 6 am to 8 pm and although 67.170 were registered to vote only 22.450 did so. The results was a landslide victory for Solís achieving over 71% of the votes. Campbell received 18% and Macaya 9%.
# Reynold Rapp

Reynold Rapp (26 December 1901 – 17 June 1972) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born to ethnic German parents in Crimea, Russian Empire and became a farmer by career.
He was first elected at the Humboldt—Melfort riding in the 1958 general election. After the riding became known as Humboldt—Melfort—Tisdale, Rapp was re-elected there in 1962, 1963 and 1965. After completing his final term in 1968, the 27th Canadian Parliament, he did not seek another term in Parliament and left federal politics.
Rapp was party Whip in 1967 and 1968.
He resided in the village Spalding, Saskatchewan, where he farmed and was the village overseer from 1950 to 1957; in 1971 his family home, the Reynold Rapp Residence, was donated to the community to form the basis for a museum that opened in his honor in 1972.
# GCU Stadium

The GCU Stadium (complete name "Grand Canyon University Stadium") is a collegiate soccer soccer-specific stadium located on the campus of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. The venue has a capacity of 6,000 and includes a full-sized (120 x 80 yard) soccer field. The field is located on the west end of the school's campus, sitting directly in front of Antelope Gymnasium, the university's secondary indoor athletic facility, and is in close proximity to Brazell Field at GCU Ballpark, home of the GCU baseball program.
The facility debuted on August 19, 2016 when the stadium hosted 6,402 fans for a Grand Canyon Antelopes men's soccer game against the UCF Knights. The debut crowd featured the most fans to watch a collegiate soccer game in the state of Arizona. GCU Stadium hosts the school's men's and women's soccer teams.

## History

Construction of the stadium began in May 2015, following the end of the 2014-2015 academic year. The land was previously a large, synthetic turf recreational field used for intramural sports, club sports such as lacrosse, and various team's practice spaces. The old field also hosted home lacrosse games for the GCU Club Lacrosse team, which won the MCLA title in the spring of 2015. The artificial turf surface was moved to another on-campus location near the student union and GCU Arena.
Plans for the facility were unveiled at the press conference announcing the hiring of renowned collegiate soccer coach and former FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman. Grand Canyon's Vice President of Athletics, Mike Vaught, made both announcements on January 15, 2015. The hiring of Hyndman expedited plans for the soccer field which were already in the works. The stadium was originally scheduled to open in time for Hyndman's inaugural season, starting in August 2015. However, construction was not completed in time.

## Structure

The stadium runs north to south with the permanent seating on the west end of the venue, where 3,000 covered seats are located. The remaining three sides of the facility (north, south, east) are grass berm seating, bringing the stadium's official capacity to over 6,000.

## Soccer

The first official game at GCU Stadium was played on August 19, 2016, when the university's men's soccer team defeated UCF 4-2.
As Arizona's only NCAA Division I men's soccer program, Grand Canyon University CEO Brian Mueller made it clear that the university will work to make it a noteworthy event on campus. Mueller said in the unveiling press conference, "We're going to elevate soccer here to be a premier sport, because we need a premier sport in the fall."
The venue will include a video display and a state-of-the-art sound system.
Hyndman told GCU Today, the university's news outlet, that he envisions Phoenix's climate and GCU's state-of-the-art facility potentially leading to the hosting of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, which currently rotates venues every year.
