# USNS Private Francis X. McGraw

USNS Private Francis X. McGraw (T-AK-241) was a Boulder Victory-class cargo ship built at the end of World War II and served the war and its demilitarization as a commercial cargo vessel. From 1946 to 1950 she served the U.S. Army as a transport named USAT Private Francis X. McGraw. In 1950 she was acquired by the United States Navy and assigned to the Military Sea Transportation Service. In 1974 she ended her career and was scrapped.

## Victory ship built in California

Private Francis X. McGraw was laid down as SS Wabash Victory (MCV hull 796) by the California Shipbuilding Corporation, Los Angeles, California; launched 6 September 1945; sponsored by Mrs. A. Easterbrook; and delivered to the U.S. Maritime Commission 7 June 1945.

## World War II-related commercial service

Operated by the Interocean Steamship Company under General Agency Agreement, Wabash Victory carried cargo and passengers to Eniwetok, Ulithi, and Okinawa and, from there, back to the U.S. West Coast between 8 August and 3 November 1945. Employed along the Oregon and California coasts for the next four months, she transited the Panama Canal in mid-March 1946, then headed across the Atlantic Ocean to France. On the 28th, she arrived at Le Havre to begin transporting men and equipment between Europe and the United States.

## U.S. Army service

Two and a half months later, on 14 June 1946, she was transferred to the U.S. War Department but continued her transatlantic runs as an Army transport. Renamed Private Francis X. McGraw, 31 October 1947, the Victory ship remained a unit of the Army Transportation Service until 1 March 1950.

## Service with the MSTS

The ship was returned to the U.S. Maritime Commission, she was simultaneously transferred to the Navy, given the designation T–AK–241, and assigned to the newly formed Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS). Since that time, Private Francis X. McGraw, manned by a civil service crew, carried supplies and equipment to "far flung" ports for MSTS, Atlantic.
Although primarily rotated between Caribbean, North Sea, and Mediterranean runs, she was, when necessary, and particularly from the mid-1960s into 1970, been diverted from such assignments to carry cargo to Pacific Ocean ports. Pacific assignments included delivery of chemical weapons to Okinawa in 1965 and removing those weapons to Johnston Atoll in 1971 under Operation Red Hat. In 1964 the U.S.N.S. Private Francis X. McGraw was involved in the salvage efforts of the submarine U.S.S. Thresher.

## Decommissioning

The vessel was decommissioned and struck from the Navy List at unknown dates. She was transferred to the U.S. Maritime Administration on 8 May 1974 and was sold for scrapping on 21 August 1974.

# Marich Man Singh Shrestha

Marich Man Singh Shrestha (Nepali: मरिचमान सिंह श्रेष्ठ; 1 January 1942 – 15 August 2013) was a Nepali politician and former Prime Minister of Nepal. He was born in 1942 in Khalanga Bazar, Salyan, Nepal. He served as the Prime Minister of Nepal from 15 June 1986 to 6 April 1990, and is remembered as the last Prime Minister of the Panchayat period and the Prime Minister during the 1989 Indian economic blockade on Nepal. Prior to that, he was the speaker of the Rastriya Panchayat from 1981 to 1985. He is one of the only two non-Khas Prime Ministers of Nepal, both the exceptions having been Newar Shresthas. He is the first Newar to have assumed the full title of the Prime Minister of Nepal, second if we count Gehendra Bahadur Rajbhandari who was acknowledged as an Acting Prime Minister.

## Political career

In his office, he braved the sixteen months long ordeal of economic blockade (March 23, 1989) imposed on Nepal by India. When this blockade caused immense fuel scarcity in the country, he is credited for not bowing to foreign power by bringing in fuel to support the entire country via aeroplanes and delivering it to individual households. He was responsible for the mass suppression of democratic forces during the Mass Movement of 2046 BS (1989 AD) and this act highly degraded his status. He was dismissed by the King Birendra during political tensions in which protestors called for multiparty elections. Subsequently, a draft constitution was introduced which allowed for direct elections to a bicameral parliament.

## Death

Shrestha was brought to the Kathmandu from New Delhi-based Medicity Hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment and was on ventilator support. He told family members that he wished to die in his own country and was air lifted to Kathmandu. Shrestha died of lung cancer at 3:00 on 15 August 2013 at Norvic Hospital, Kathmandu.
# William Whetenhall

William Whetenhall (died 1457) was an English businessman who served as Sheriff of London in 1440.

## Life

From a family originating in Wettenhall in Cheshire, and probably born before 1410, he was in business in the City of London as a member of the Grocers' Company, being chosen as Master of the Company from 1439 to 1441 and a second time from 1446 to 1448.
From 1434 to 1438 he was Warden of London Bridge and in 1438 was elected alderman for the ward of Farringdon Within, holding the post until 1446. In 1440 he was appointed sheriff for the year, and from 1446 to 1451 was alderman for the Walbrook ward.
Making his will on 22 March 1457, he died before 11 April 1457 when it was proved.

## Family

Married before 1433, his wife's name was probably Alice and his heir was his son William II Whetenhall, who married Margaret, daughter and coheiress of the MP and sheriff, William Hextall, owner of the estates of Hextall's Court and Eastmere in East Peckham in Kent. She later married the MP Sir Henry Ferrers, of Hambleton in Rutland, and had a son Sir Edward Ferrers, also an MP, but it was her son William III Whetenhall from her first marriage who inherited her Kent estates and in 1526 served as High Sheriff of Kent.
# Sarfannguit Island

Sarfannguit Island (Greenlandic: Sarfannguit Nunataat, Danish: Sarfannguaqland) is an island in the Qeqqata municipality in western Greenland.

## Geography

The island is of elongated shape, separated from the mainland of Greenland by Sarfannguit Channel, a narrow waterway at the eastern promontory occupied by the Sarfannguit settlement. To the south, the island is bounded by the Ikertooq Fjord, widening considerably at its mouth at approximately 66°46′N 53°27′W﻿ / ﻿66.767°N 53.450°W﻿ / 66.767; -53.450, where it empties into Davis Strait. The channel is unusual in that it connects the head of the narrower Amerloq Fjord bounding the island from the north to the larger Ikertooq Fjord in the southeast.
Several smaller islands trail Sarfannguit Island in the west, on the coastline of Davis Strait, of which Maniitsorsuaq and Uummannaarsussuaq are the largest, while tiny Nipisat Island is host to ruins from the early settlement. The island is hilly, with the highest point reaching 404 m (1,325 ft). In the past, the coastal region was dotted with several small villages, all of which are now abandoned.

# Termatosaurus

Termatosaurus ("End Lizard", due to its appearance in the End Triassic) is a potentially dubious genus of archosaur known from several tooth specimens. Its remains come from the Upper Triassic of France, England, Germany and Switzerland.
Termatosaurus was once thought to have survived until the Early Jurassic, but the attributed Jurassic remains were redescribed as plesiosaur material. Two species are known of this animal: the type species, T. albertii, named by Meyer and T. Plieninger in 1844, and T. crocodilinus, by Quenstedt (1858).
According to Oskar Kuhn, Termatosaurus is a plesiosaur (of the Rhomaleosauridae), while according to other sources, it is a phytosaur.

# Puente La Amistad de Taiwán

10°14′50″N 85°14′45″W﻿ / ﻿10.24722°N 85.24583°W﻿ / 10.24722; -85.24583
Puente La Amistad de Taiwán (English: "Taiwan Friendship Bridge") spans the Tempisque River, on National Route 18, in Guanacaste, northern Costa Rica. Although generally known as a cable-stayed bridge, it is really a hybrid bridge composed of a cable-stayed span and a pillar-supported bridge. The cable-stayed section has two spans of 170 and 90 metres, supported by an 80-metre-high pylon. The total length of the bridge is 780 metres with eight supporting pillars and the pylon. The bridge was completed in 2003.
The bridge was financed and designed by Taiwan and built primarily by the Taiwanese company MAA, with participation of Costa Rican engineers and workers. It has a particular importance for the province of Guanacaste for it facilitates transit from the capital city of San José. Prior to the construction of the bridge, this route required the use of ferries to cross the Tempisque River, or long alternate land routes.
Recent Costa Rican studies have found some problems in the structure that have required increased maintenance.
The bridge has been known colloquially as Puente de la Apuñalada (Back stab Bridge) since former Costa Rican President Óscar Arias cut off relations with Taiwan in favour of China.
Puente La Amistad was damaged on 5 September 2012 by the 2012 Costa Rica earthquake.

# Advance (1884)

The Advance was an iron screw steamer tug built in 1884 that was wrecked when she collided with Inverna off Catherine Hill Bay, New South Wales, Australia, on 25 December 1908.

## Ship service history

The Advance was involved in a collision with the Tuncurry in the early morning of 30 September 1906. The Tuncurry, under the command of Captain O'Bierne, was making a routine voyage from Pyrmont to Cape Hawke, carrying several passengers and general cargo. About five miles north of North Head (one of the Sydney Heads), it was suddenly rammed by the Advance, which was travelling from Newcastle and hadn't seen the other ship. The Tuncurry took the brunt of the damage, although Captain O'Bierne quickly decided that the ship was in no danger of sinking. He signalled to the tug that no assistance was needed, and immediately headed back to Sydney. The Advance returned to Newcastle, damaged at the bows.
It was later found at the Marine Court that at the time of the collision the Advance had been the under charge of a deck hand, McIvor. The court did not find that there had "been any negligence on the part of the master of the tug in not coming on deck sooner, but thought he should have acted more wisely".

## Wreck

Advance, commanded by Alick Mckenzie, collided due to foggy weather in the harbor at Newcastle, New South Wales, with Inverna off Catherine Hill Bay, during the early morning hours of 25 December 1908 and sank.
