# William Cropper

William Cropper (27 December 1862 – 13 January 1889) was an English cricketer and footballer who played cricket for Derbyshire County Cricket Club between 1882 and 1888 and football, as a centre forward, once for Derby County. He was one of nineteen sportsmen to achieve the Derbyshire Double of playing cricket for Derbyshire and football for Derby County. He died aged 26 following an on-field injury while playing football for Staveley.
Cropper was born at Brimington, Derbyshire, the son of Thomas and Mary Cropper, and was a bricklayer. He made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1882 season. He also played for the North of England team. He shared most wickets for the club in the 1883, 1884, 1885 and 1886 seasons. In 1886, he played one football match for Derby County. Derbyshire lost first-class status for the 1888 season but Cropper continued playing for the side. Cropper played 113 innings in 60 first-class matches to score 1638 runs with an average of 15.00 and a top score of 93 not out. He took 171 first-class wickets, with an average of 17.13 and a best performance of 7 for 25.
From 1888, Cropper played football for the Derbyshire side of Staveley. While playing for Staveley, on 12 January 1889 against Grimsby Town at Clee Park, Lincolnshire, Cropper collided with Dan Doyle, the Grimsby rightback, after fifteen minutes. He was badly injured by Doyle's knee in his abdomen and left the field in obvious distress. The collision resulted in a ruptured bowel and he died in the dressing room at Grimsby in the arms of his Staveley and Derbyshire County Cricket Club teammate George Hay.
Cropper was buried in Brimington churchyard and a memorial stone was erected – from the proceeds of a subscription fund raised by his family and friends – which can still be seen today.

# 49th Rifle Division (RSFSR)

The 49th Rifle Division (Russian: 49-я стрелковая дивизия) was an infantry division of the Red Army during the Russian Civil War, formed twice.
Formed in mid-1919 on the Eastern Front as the Orenburg Rifle Division, it was soon redesignated as the 49th Rifle Division. It fought in the defeat of White troops in west Kazakhstan and on the southern Ural River. In early 1920 it was transferred west to the North Caucasus and participated in the offensive that defeated the Armed Forces of South Russia, before being disbanded. A second formation was formed in December 1920 as the 20th Rifle Division of the Internal Service Troops and redesignated as the 49th in March 1921, but itself disbanded in April.

## History
### First formation

The division was formed by orders of 17 June 1919 with the 1st Army of the Eastern Front as the Orenburg Rifle Division from the units defending Orenburg against the White Eastern Front of Alexander Kolchak. It was renumbered as the 49th Rifle Division on 5 July, and fought in the Aktyubinsk operation between 14 August and 14 September, during which it advanced as part of the Orenburg group, fighting near Akbulak, Aktyubinsk, and Orsk and on the Ik and Utva Rivers. In accordance with a 16 September order of the Turkestan Front and 18 and 21 September orders of the 1st Army, the 49th was renamed the 49th Fortress Division and subordinated to the Orenburg Fortified Region.
The 1st and 3rd Brigades of the division joined the newly formed Iletsk group of forces on 8 October. From 2 November to 10 January 1920, they fought in the Uralsk–Guryev Operation, advancing in the area of Iletsk with the Iletsk shock group. Both brigades transferred to the 4th Army of the Eastern Front on 1 December, followed by the remainder of the division on 4 December. On 12 January the division transferred to the 11th Army of the Caucasian Front, fighting in the North Caucasus operation against the remnants of the Armed Forces of South Russia until 7 April. During the operation, the division advanced towards Stavropol, in the area of Yessentukhi, and the stanitsa of Razdolny. After the defeat of the Armed Forces of South Russia, the 49th was disbanded on 21 April, with its personnel used to reinforce the 20th Rifle Division.

### Second formation

The 20th Rifle Division of the Internal Service Troops (VNUS) was formed in accordance with 1 and 15 December 1920 orders of the Transvolga Military District. From January to April it protected food supplies and fought insurgents in Samara and Orenburg Governorates. On 14 March 1921 the division was redesignated as the 49th Rifle Division in accordance with the transfer of VNUS troops to the Red Army on 4 March. The headquarters of the 49th was quickly disbanded on 19 April, while its troops became the 145th and 148th Rifle Brigades.

## Commanders

The following commanders led the division:
* Gaspar Voskanov (17 June–16 September 1919)

# William Webster (builder)

William Webster (May 1819 – 1 February 1888) was a British builder who worked with architects and engineers such as Gilbert Scott and Joseph Bazalgette and is especially associated with several embankments of the River Thames.

## Career

Born in the small Lincolnshire village of Wyberton in 1819, Webster apprenticed to the Boston, Lincolnshire builder Mr. Jackson. Immediately following his apprenticeship, Webster became a builder in Wyberton and was initially involved in the refurbishment and renovation of a number of churches in Lincolnshire (working with Sir Gilbert Scott on Algakirk church) and the surrounding counties as well the building of Boston's Exchange Building.
Between 1856 and 1857, Webster was commissioned to build the Cambridge Lunatic Asylum at Fulbourn. Following the completion of this project his next was the building of the Three Counties Asylum, near Hitchin.
Moving to London in 1860, his first projects in the capital included contracts for the Crossness Southern Outfall Sewer, Abbey Mills Pumping Station and the Western Pumping Station (adjacent to the Grosvenor Canal in Pimlico). He then moved to constructing parts of the Victoria Embankment and the whole of the Albert and Chelsea Embankments (1871) as well as an extension to the embankment around the Houses of Parliament. He was also involved in the Holborn Viaduct railway station and hotel, and the southern approaches to Tower Bridge. His company also undertook many other contracts including building chapels - for example, the Dissenters' Chapel in Hither Green Cemetery.
Webster died at his residence, Wyberton House (built, probably to his own design, by his firm and completed in 1869), in Lee, London on 1 February 1888, and was interred at St Margaret's, Lee.

## Legacy

After Webster's death, his firm was continued for some years by his son, also called William, a chemical engineer. Some sources suggest the company's work included construction of Blackheath Halls though this may reflect his son's involvement in funding the project, as other sources attribute the construction to a J.O. Richardson of Peckham.

# Special Purpose Islamic Regiment

The Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (Russian: Исламский полк особого назначения; abbreviated SPIR), also known as the al-Jihad-Fi-Sabililah Special Islamic Regiment, was a Chechen organization loosely formed by Chechen warlord Arbi Barayev in 1996. It was regarded as one of the main hostage-taking, kidnapping, and oil-smuggling groups operating in Chechnya during the lawless interwar period that followed the First Chechen War (1994–1996) with Russia. It is most notorious for its role in the October 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis, when the group took some 800 hostages in the Russian capital; by then, SPIR was headed by Movsar Barayev—the nephew of Arbi (killed in 2001)—and likely never had more than 100 fighters at any given time. UN Security Council sanction documents alleged ties and assistance from al-Qaeda, Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
During the Moscow theatre hostage crisis, Movsar Barayev and some 40 men and women led by him (dubbed the 29th Suicide Division) that also included members of two other Chechen rebel groups, brought together by Shamil Basayev, were killed in a raid by Russian special forces units Alfa and Vympel after having been incapacitated by the chemical attack that also killed at least 129 of their hostages. The SPIR fighters under Yunadi Turchayev, who became a deputy of Dokka Umarov, also took part in the large-scale raid on central Grozny in 2004, in which more than 100 combatants and civilians were killed.
In 2004, the United States Department of State included "The Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (a.k.a. the Islamic Special Purpose Regiment, a.k.a. the al-Jihad-Fisi-Sabililah Special Islamic Regiment, a.k.a. Islamic Regiment of Special Meaning)" on the Terrorist Exclusion List under the USA PATRIOT Act.
As of 2006 (when the SPIR has had at least seven commanders since it was founded), it reportedly continued to conduct limited guerrilla operations in Chechnya under the leadership of the man known only as Amir Aslan, followed by Amirs Rashid and Abdul-Malik. On 4 June 2008, Alkavkaz website reported that Abdul-Malik and three of his comrades had been killed during a skirmish in a forest near Grozny.
# Neil Mathieson

Neil Mathieson (1823 – 14 September 1906) was a Scottish chemist and businessman.
He was born in Campbeltown, Argyll and Bute, Scotland and came to work for John & Thomas Johnson, soap and alkali makers in Runcorn, Cheshire, where he became works manager. Around 1860 he joined two other Johnson's workers, Duncan McKechnie and Charles Wigg, in setting up the Old Quay Works in Runcorn to make soap and to extract copper by the Henderson wet process. In 1865, when John & Thomas Johnson became registered under the Companies Act as the Runcorn Soap and Alkali Company, Mathieson invested in the company, buying 175 shares. He left the Old Quay Works to set up his own business, Matheison and Company in Widnes, Lancashire in 1870. His partners were Frederick Herbert Gossage, son of William Gossage, and Thomas Sutton Timmis, both of whom had been associated with Gossage's soap business. Matheison and Company became one of the most important companies in Widnes. Its main business was producing alkali by the Leblanc process and they also produced glycerine from soap waste from Gossage's. Later Mathieson's third son, Thomas Train Mathieson, became a partner in the business.
Neil's eldest son, Douglas Dugald (1861–86), an assistant manager at the works, was killed after being struck by a falling derrick. In 1892 Mathieson obtained a charter in Saltville, Virginia to open an alkali plant, buying out the Holston Salt and Plaster Company. His son Thomas Train Mathieson went to USA to supervise this business, the Mathieson Alkali Company, which was later to develop into the Mathieson Chemical Corporation.

# Våle Church

Våle Church (Norwegian: Våle kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Tønsberg Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kirkevoll. It is the church for the Våle parish which is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg. The white, stone church was built in a long church design around the year 1190 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 244 people.

## History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1346, but the church was not built that year. The first church in Våle was likely a wooden church that was probably built during the 11th century. The area of Våle was Christianized by Olaf Tryggvason during the 900s, and the first church was likely built after that time. The Våle area has many pre-Christian burial mounds, so the area must have been an important site before Christian times.
Around the year 1190, the old wooden church was torn down and replaced with the present Romanesque stone church. The church is said to have been built by Danish and German craftsmen. Originally, the church was far simpler than today. It was likely just the nave and chancel (no sacristy, church porch, or bell tower). The original church may have had a small clock tower on the roof. The nave and chancel were both built in a rectangular shape, but the inside of the chancel had a curved apse. The church was dedicated to Saint Olav on Saint Sunniva's Day (July 8).
In 1673, the Count of Jarlsberg took over ownership of the church from the King of Denmark-Norway. Soon after, the Count decided to renovate the church. The church underwent a big renovation. Then again in 1747, the church underwent another large renovation and expansion. The old chancel was torn down and the nave was extended 8 metres (26 ft) to the east and a new chancel was constructed. Also, a new sacristy was built on the east end of the new chancel. The interior furnishings were also replaced during this period.
Due to financial difficulties, Count Gustav Wilhelm Wedels had to sell the county's churches. He sold Våle Church in 1770 to the merchant Hegaard in Holmestrand, for 1,200 rigsdaler. Hegaard also had financial difficulties, and eventually declared bankruptcy. The church was then handed over to his son-in-law, the auditor general Jens Flor from Haugeboe in Asker as collateral. Flor sold the church in 1804 to shipowner and merchant Rasmus Alsing from Holmestrand. In 1808, he died and his son inherited the church. Rasmus Alsing died in 1858, and in 1859 the parish bought the church. In 1871, a new church porch and bell tower were added to the west end of the nave. The interior was changed on the same occasion, including new ceilings and windows. This also included getting rid of the medieval pulpit and limestone baptismal font and replacing them with new ones. The tower was unstable and had to be reinforced several times, most recently in 1951. In 1956–1957, the church interior was renovated and updated. The interior was extensively restored in 2004–2006 and then in 2010 the interior was returned to its 1870 look.
