# Soviet Union national bandy team

The Soviet Union national bandy team represented the Soviet Union in bandy. It was controlled by the Bandy and Field Hockey Federation of the USSR.
Even if bandy was a popular sport domestically in the 1920s and 1930s, the Soviet Union did not compete in any internationals back then. Agreements were made to play friendlies against Sweden in the late 1940s, but the plans did not come to realization. However, after having seen Finland, Norway and Sweden playing bandy at the Winter Olympics in Oslo in 1952, the Soviet Union invited these three countries to a four nation bandy tournament in 1954. This was the first time a Soviet national bandy team met other national bandy teams. The four countries used somewhat different rules prior to this tournament, but the rules were adjusted to be the same for the future.
The Soviet team dominated the Bandy World Championships from its start in 1957 until the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, winning the first eleven championships (biennial tournaments from 1961) and winning all but three championships that they competed in. Its place in the championship was then taken over by Russia.
The Soviet Union also won the Rossiya Tournament eight times in ten appearances. In 1992 this tournament had changed names to Russian Government Cup and replacing the Soviet national bandy team, a bandy team representing the Commonwealth of Independent States made a one-time appearance there, also playing against the new Russia national bandy team.
# British Society for Nanomedicine

The British Society for Nanomedicine (BSNM) is the primary UK nanomedicine society. Members of the society are drawn from the general public, academia, industry, regulatory agencies and healthcare professionals. The society is a registered charity whose mission includes the direct explanation of the ongoing science and commercial developments to allow the public to understand and stay in touch with nanomedicine research as it impacts future global healthcare. The society is also actively involved in the organisation of multidisciplinary scientific meetings to encourage dissemination of the latest advances and foster collaboration.

## History

The Society was founded in 2012, in Liverpool at its inaugural meeting that was attended by over 70 scientists from different disciplines from around the globe. The motivation for creation of the society originated by the first Chair (Professor Andrew Owen) and Vice Chair (Professor Steve Rannard) of the board of trustees from the University of Liverpool, with support from colleagues at Swansea University (Professor Steve Conlan) and Herriot Watt University (Professor Vicki Stone). The inaugural meeting attracted delegates from around the world including active board members for the American Society for Nanomedicine (ASNM) and the European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine (CLINAM). Since then, the society has continued to grow and has Trustees from all four nations of the United Kingdom. The society has hosted annual meetings at Swansea University, the University of Strathclyde, Queen's University of Belfast, and the Francis Crick Institute in London.

## Publication

Prior to 2019, the British Society For Nanomedicine publishes a journal which promotes nanomedicine; The Journal of Interdisciplinary Nanomedicine (JOIN) is published by Wiley
Since 2020, the British Society of Nanomedicine has been also pleased working in partnership with the Journal of Precision Nanomedicine.

# Briseis (Australian horse)

Briseis foaled in 1873, was a brown Australian Thoroughbred filly that is regarded as one of the greatest mares ever foaled in Australia. As a two-year-old she won the AJC Doncaster Handicap and the weight for age (w.f.a.) AJC All Aged Stakes. Then as a three-year-old she won the VRC Victoria Derby (by 3 lengths, in record time), the 1876 Melbourne Cup (by 2 lengths) and the VRC Oaks, all within six days.

## Breeding

She was a brown filly sired by Tim Whiffler (GB) out of Musidora by The Premier (GB). Musidora won the VRC Sires Produce Stakes, the VRC Queens Plate and other races. She was the dam of six winners including, Miss Jessie, 1868 (won the VRC Victoria Derby) and Sea Spray, 1870 (won VRC St Leger Stakes and South Australian St Leger Stakes). Briseis belonged to an old Colonial Family, C5, that was not accepted into the General Stud Book, but it is included in the Australian Stud Book.
Briseis was bred, owned and trained by James Wilson at his St Albans stud near Geelong in Victoria.

## Racing career
### At the age of two years

As a two-year-old Briseis had three minor placings from five starts. She was allotted 5 stone 7 lbs. (35 kg) and started 4/1 equal favourite in the AJC Doncaster Handicap at Randwick. Owing to the light weight she was allotted she was ridden to victory in the race by the 12-year-old Peter St Albans. At her next two starts she won a flying handicap and the w.f.a. AJC All Aged Stakes.

### At the age of three years

As a three-year-old at the VRC spring carnival of 1876, Briseis raced on all four days. She won the VRC Derby on the Saturday, (by three lengths and taking 1+3⁄4 seconds off the race record); the Melbourne Cup (again ridden by Peter St Albans, who was still 12 years old, to win by two lengths in record time from a record 33 starters), on the Tuesday; and the VRC Oaks on the Thursday creating a record that is never likely to be equalled. Briseis then finished second to Pride of the Hills in the VRC Mares' Produce Stakes on the Saturday. Her major wins were an AJC Doncaster H; AJC All Aged Stakes; VRC Derby; Melbourne Cup; and VRC Oaks all as a two and three-year-old.
She then raced four times in the autumn of 1877 before being sent to stud in 1879. Briseis was to be served by King of the Ring, and while hobbled she reared up and fell over backwards, fracturing her skull. Her death was a severe loss to the Australian bloodstock industry. While not widely recalled, Briseis' feats rank alongside any of the oft-heralded greats of the Australian turf.

## Honours

The Briseis Tin Mine which was named after her became one of the richest mines in the southern hemisphere during the late 1890s. There is a race carrying her name at the Melbourne Cup carnival each year. The Briseis Gold Cup at Geelong is also named in her honour. The Geelong Racing Club has named the state of art Briseis Function Centre after her.
# St Audoen's Church, Dublin (Roman Catholic)

St Audoen's is the church of the parish of St Audoen that is located south of the River Liffey at Cornmarket in Dublin, Ireland. The parish is in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. The church is now home to the Polish chaplaincy in Ireland. There is an Anglican church of the same name adjacent to it.

## History

The church was built between 1841 and 1847 to the neoclassical design of Patrick Byrne who also designed nearby St. Paul's Church on Arran Quay and Church of the Immaculate Conception (Adam and Eve's) on Merchants Quay. The cornerstone was laid in July 1841. A founding member donor being Daniel O’Connell.
St. Audoen's houses the National Shrine of St. Anne. The site on which the church is built formerly housed a college to accommodate the chaplains to the Guild of St Anne's, originally known as Blakeney Inns and later St. Anne's Inns. The statue of St. Anne was made by Deghini's of Fishamble Street, Dublin, and was donated by a Mrs. Kelly in 1919.

### Architecture

A central dome positioned over the crossing of the nave was the main external feature of the church until it collapsed in 1880 and was replaced with a flat roof. It has a double-level crypt to compensate for the steeply sloping site. In 1898 the portico including the piazza to the front and railings was added by George Ashlin. The pediment over portico has a granite frieze supported on granite Corinthian columns. Like the earlier St. Paul's, above the pediment are carved statues at each end and at the apex.
The walls are constructed of Black calp and are best appreciated from Cook Street from where their sheer bulk dominates the area and the Medieval Dublin City Walls. Because of its steeply sloping site, the church has a double level crypt to the rear.
The interior, which has a coffered barrel-vaulted ceiling, is lit by lunette windows high above the walls. The statue of Our Lady's Altar is by Peter Bonanni of Rome, which won a gold medal at the Dublin Exhibition in 1853.
The holy water stoups on either side of the main doors are giant clam shells that were donated in 1917 by a Pacific Ocean sea captain as a gift to his brother, the parish priest at the time.
Until December 2007 the church hosted a regular Tridentine (Latin) Mass. The church has experienced a resurgence of attendance due to the influx of Polish immigrants who regularly celebrate mass in the church in their native language. St Audoen's Church is now home to the Polish chaplaincy in Ireland.

# Evan Parry

Evan Parry (30 November 1865 – 17 December 1938) was a Welsh electrical engineer noted for his pioneering work in New Zealand.

## History

He was born in Llanddeiniolen, Carnarvonshire, Wales, the son of William Parry, a slate quarry manager, and his wife Eliza, née Williams. He was educated at Bangor and studied for his BSc at Glasgow University. He secured an engineering position at the Deptford power station and subsequently for the British Thomson-Houston company. In 1897 he began work for the American-born Horace Field Parshall, an engineer with a lucrative business electrifying tramways in Dublin, Glasgow, Bristol and elsewhere.
In 1911 he was appointed the first electrical engineer for New Zealand's Public Works Department and was immediately involved in the construction and installation of the Lake Coleridge hydroelectric power station, which was opened in 1914.
He left for other employment in England in 1919; his successor was Australian-born engineer Lawrence Birks (1874–1924), who fell ill in Adelaide on his way to London, where he was to have represented New Zealand at the inaugural World Power Conference in 1924, and returned to Wellington, where he died a few months later. The paper which he was to have read to the conference was instead delivered by his old colleague and mentor Evan Parry.
