# EMI schools

English-medium-of-instruction schools, also known as EMI schools, are secondary schools that use English as a medium of instruction in Hong Kong. As of 2019 there are currently around 100 EMI schools, accounting for around 30% of the total local secondary schools.
Larry Chuen-ho Chow and Yiu-Kwan Fan stated in the publication The Other Hong Kong Report 1998 that EMI schools gained a reputation for being "elite schools providing better preparation for children to meet their future needs", and were considered to be better than Chinese medium schools (CMI schools); they stated since 1997 "Parents rushed to send their children to EMI schools." Jacqueline Chak-Kei Woo, in the essay "Parental choice in the education market", published in 2016, stated that "EMI schools are still being treated as the "holy grail" nowadays".

## History

In the late 19th century British Hong Kong authorities persuaded schools to use English as the medium of instruction, rather than Cantonese, by supplying grants. In 1974 the Hong Kong authorities chose not to prefer either language and instead allowed each school to decide its language of instruction. There had been a decline of the number of CMI schools since many Hong Kong parents desired an EMI education. In the 1990s pre-handover British Hong Kong authorities moved towards having a preference for CMI, a decision accelerated by Hong Kong post-handover.
The Hong Kong government issued the September 1997 Medium of Instruction Guidance for Secondary Schools, new criteria that determined whether a school may continue to be EMI: the school needed to have teachers who could teach in English and a student body with 85% being able to learn both Chinese and English. A total of 300 secondary schools previously using English began using Chinese, leaving 114 secondary schools using English. The administrations of several schools which historically were EMI that were forced to become CMI opposed the move. In 2009 Hong Kong authorities allowed CMI schools to have special EMI classes. David C. S. Li wrote in Multilingual Hong Kong: Languages, Literacies and Identities that this action was "blurring" the distinctions between the two styles of schools.

## Operations

Historically, in many schools classified as EMI, even though all textbooks and reading materials were in English, the instructors used Cantonese in oral instruction in some or all occasions, making them "mixed-code". This usage and a decrease in English fluency in the late 20th century were factors persuading pre-Handover British Hong Kong authorities to promote CMI education.
As of 2016 many schools having EMI programming are also classified as Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools.
# My Story (Scholastic New Zealand)

My Story is a series of historical novels for older children published by Scholastic New Zealand which was inspired by Dear America.

# James Murray (loyalist)

James Murray (August 9, 1713 – November 8, 1781) was a British loyalist who lived in North Carolina and Boston prior to the American Revolution, eventually escaping from Boston to settle in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was one of the few loyalists who lived in both the South and the North prior to the Revolution, making the letters he wrote particularly valuable.

## Early life

Murray was born on August 9, 1713, in Unthank in Scotland. He was son of John Murray and Anne (née Bennet) Murray, who married in April 1712. Among his siblings was John Murray (1721-1781) of Norwich and Elizabeth Murray (1726-1785), later Campbell, Smith, and Inman. Both John and Elizabeth were painted by John Singleton Copley. Another sister, Barbara Murray, was married to Thomas Clark, a merchant, and was the mother of Thomas Clark (a Continental Army officer) and Ann Clark (the wife of William Hooper, a signer of the Declaration of Independence).
His paternal grandfather was John Murray of Bowhill.

## Life in America

In 1735, Murray emigrated from Scotland to the Province of North Carolina. When in North Carolina, he became a member of the North Carolina General Assembly and president of the Governor's Council. He established the Point Repose Plantation at Wilmington, North Carolina. Four of his six children with his first wife died on the plantation.
After being thwarted in his efforts to become governor, Murray moved to Boston in 1765 and established various businesses. Prior to moving, however, Murray sent his oldest daughter Dorothy (who was also painted by Copley) to Boston to live with his sister Elizabeth.
He turned the operation of the plantation over to his nephew, Thomas Clark, who became a Brigadier general in the Continental Army.
In 1778, Murray, who remained loyal to the British Crown, evacuated Boston and moved north to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

## Personal life

In 1761, he married Barbara Bennet (1724–1760). Barbara was the daughter of Andrew Bennet and Dorothy (née Collingwood) Bennet. Her mother was the half-sister Cuthbert Collingwood (grandfather of Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood). Together, they were the parents of:
* Dorothy "Dolly" Murray (1745–1837), who married Rev. John Forbes (1740–1783) in 1769.
* Elizabeth Murray (1756–1837), who married Edward Hutchinson Robbins (1758–1837), the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, in 1785.
Murray died in 1781 and was buried in the Old Burying Ground in Halifax.

### Descendants

Through his eldest daughter Dorothy, he was the grandfather of diplomat John Murray Forbes.

# HMHS Gloucester Castle

HMHS Gloucester Castle (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) was a steam ship originally built for the Union-Castle Line, but requisitioned for use as a British hospital ship during the First World War. On 30 March 1917 she was torpedoed by German U-boat UB-32. She was, however, salvaged, and returned to civilian service after the war. She was sunk by the German commerce raider Michel in 1942 off Ascension Island in the South Atlantic.

## History

In the First World War Gloucester Castle served as a hospital ship. She was torpedoed off the Isle of Wight by German U-boat UB-32 (Kapitänleutnant Max Viebeg) on 30 March 1917. Three died during the transfer of crew and wounded but she was able to be towed back to port after two weeks.
After the war she was returned to her owners on 9 September 1919 for service on the intermediate routes and later served on the round-Africa service, earning the nickname 'Go Slowster Castle' because of her inadequate speed.
In the Second World War she remained in civilian service as a passenger and general cargo liner. On 15 July 1942, off the coast of Angola, she was intercepted by the German auxiliary cruiser Michel. Michel's commander KzS Helmuth von Ruckteschell chose to attack after dark without warning. The first shells from Michel destroyed the bridge and radio room and, consequently, no S.O.S. was transmitted. The ship sank with 93 killed, including the Master, Herbert H. Rose, six woman passengers, and two children. The remaining 61 survivors were picked up by the Michel and interned at Yokohama, Japan. After repatriation, the survivors reported the conditions under which they were forced to work and live.
# Aparekka

Aparekka is a village in Matara District in Southern Province of Sri Lanka.

* Aparekka North (population 690)
* Uda Aparekka East (population 1,303)
* Uda Aparekka (population 1,664)
* Palle Aparekka (population 936)

## History

An Attani-type pillar inscription belonging to the 10th century A.D. was discovered near the Sepalikarama Viharaya at Uda Aparekka. It records a grant made to a procession by a king-styled Abasalamevan Mapurmaka. A document belonging to the reign of King Bhuvanaikabahu VI mentions the name Aparekka as a village endowed by the king to a Buddhist monk named Anuruddha Sami. Also, Aparekka is mentioned as Averaca in a letter shared between King Rajasinha II and the Dutch.
Aparekka appears in the 1911 Ceylon Census as Uda (Upper) Aparekka, population of 1,059 in 1901 and 1,194 in 1911 and Palle (Lower) Aparekka, population of 2,109 in 1901 and 2,332 in 1911. The Ceylon Blue Book of 1920 lists separate vernacular schools for boy and girls. In 1935 geologist J.S. Coats discovered hexagonal corundum crystals associated with feldspar and biotite in the area.

## Etymology

Although the reliability is low, some believe that the name Aparekka came into usage during the time of King Dutugemunu.

## Transport

Aparekka is located on the Meddewatte - Kekanadure - Yatiyana Road (B284). It is immediately to the south of the E01 Aparekka interchange.

# Erich Pascal Malkemper

Erich Pascal Malkemper (born 24 June 1985) is a German neuroscientist. He studies magnetoreception and animal hearing and he is currently a group leader of the Max Planck Society at the Center of Advanced European Studies and Research (CAESAR) in Bonn, Germany.

## Education

Malkemper studied neurobiology at the Ruhr University Bochum. He received his MSc degree there in 2011. He received his PhD from the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2014, working with Hynek Burda [de]. His PhD in Duisburg-Essen was followed by a postdoctoral position with David A. Keays at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna, Austria.

## Research achievements

In 2014 Malkemper showed that woodmice have a radio-frequency dependent magnetic sense. As well in 2014, he received an Ig Nobel Prize for his work on magnetoreception in dogs. Furthermore, he provided support for the absence of magnetite magnetoreceptors in the inner ear. Such receptors had been previously hypothesized at this location, because of the presence of iron rich hair organelles in the inner ear of birds.
In 2020 Malkemper was awarded and ERC Start grant valued at 1.5 million euros to investigate magnetoreception in rodents.
# .500 A-Square

The .500 A-Square is a belted, bottleneck rifle cartridge, developed by Arthur Alphin in 1976. The cartridge is based on the .460 Weatherby Magnum necked up to accept the .510 in (13.0 mm) bullet; the same as the .50 BMG cartridge. This was Col. Alphin's first commercial sporting cartridge and was designed in “response to some severe problems experienced with the .458 Winchester on safari in Mozambique.”
The .500 A-Square was a proprietary cartridge and the world's most powerful commercially available “sporting” cartridge. However, the .50 BMG is the world's most powerful commercial cartridge for any shooting purpose. The .500 A-Square is used specifically as an African, thick skin, dangerous game, rifle cartridge for the hunting of elephants and Cape buffalo as well as a backup gun for professional hunters and guides.

## Overview

The .500 A-Square cartridge was commercially available from both A-Square and Midway USA as loaded ammunition. The ammunition comes in three loads: 600 grains (38.9 g) Monolithic Solid; 600 grains (38.9 g) soft nose thick jacket and 600 gr (38.9 g) soft nose thin jacket. All bullet/cartridge combination are advertised with a muzzle velocity of 2470 ft/s (753 m/s) and muzzle energy of 8127 ft lbf (11019 J).
In comparison: the parent cartridge, the .460 Weatherby Magnum as commercial loaded with a 500 gr (32.4 g) Monolithic Solid has a muzzle velocity of 2580 ft/s (786 m/s) and muzzle energy of 7389 ft lbf (10018 J). The .50 BMG as commercial loaded with a 661 gr (42.8 g) FMJ M33 ball ammo has a muzzle velocity of 2750 ft/s (838 m/s) and muzzle energy of 11102 ft lbf (15052 J).
Although there is limited hand-loading information, bullet weights (hunting) are from between 300 gr (19.4) to 647 gr (41.9).

### A-Square Company

In October 2011, A-Square ceased all ammunition operations.
