# Croston Hall

Croston Hall was a country mansion house, built in a gothic style architecture, situated in the village of Croston, Lancashire, England.

## History

The original Croston Hall was constructed in the 14th century, for the Assheton family. The old hall was taken down and a new hall was erected in the 19th century and was occupied by Henry Tempest, a magistrate, following his marriage to Jemima, the daughter of Joseph Thomas Trafford, whose family owned the hall for the rest of its existence. The last Croston Hall was built by the De Trafford Family in the 19th century to the east of the village of Croston. Thomas de Trafford, who was born at Croston Hall, became 1st Baronet.
The last of the De Trafford family to live at the hall was Geoffrey de Trafford - known locally as "the Squire" and his sister. He died in 1960, followed by his sister in 1964. Neither had an heir, so when he died, the small chapel in the grounds along with 2 acres (8,100 m$^2$) of land around it was left for the use of the Catholic people of Croston, and the rest of the land was left to the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Croston Hall was pulled down in the mid 1960s but the stables and the walled garden buildings were left, as was the lodge and the bridge.
The land has all been sold and a new Croston Hall has recently been built by a local businessman in the Lutyens style next to the walled garden.
# François-Aymar de Monteil

François-Aymar de Monteil (Dauphiné, 1725 — Galluis, 10 September 1787) was a French Navy officer. He served in the War of American Independence, earning membership in the Society of the Cincinnati. He was also a member and director of the Académie de Marine.

## Biography

Monteil joined the Navy as a Garde-Marine in 1741. He took part in the Battle of Cape Sicié on 22 February 1744, and was promoted to Ensign in 1746. That year, he served on the 24-gun frigate Volage, on which he was in combat against the 70-gun HMS Stirling Castle on 15 April. Volage was captured, but Oriflamme retook her the day after. In 1747, he served on the frigate Flore on convoy duty. Flore fought and captured a British ship during the mission.
In 1755, Monteil was given command of the 12-gun corvette Anémone at Cayenne. He was promoted to Lieutenant the year after, and served as Major for the squadron under admiral d'Aché, on Zodiaque, taking part in the Battle of Cuddalore on 29 April 1758 and in the Battle of Negapatam on 3 August.
Monteil was given command of the frigate Sylphide, and took part in the Battle of Pondicherry on 10 September 1759. On 30 mars 1759, he was made a Knight in the Order of Saint Louis for his conduct in the battle.
In 1762, Monteil was promoted to Captain, and given command of the 64-gun Éveillé in Newfoundland. On 13 April 1771, Monteil departed Port-Louis, commanding the ship Actionnaire bound for Isle de France (Mauritius). In 1774, Monteil captained Zéphir.
In 1776, he captained the 32-gun frigate Renommée, part of the Escadre d'évolution under Du Chaffault. On 20 April 1776, she touched a reef while departing Brest, and Monteil was unable to immediately refloat Renommée. Du Chaffault defended Monteil, writing to the Navy Minister that "only those who command ships run the risk of losing them".
In 1778, Monteil commanded the 74-gun Conquérant, part of the Third division in the Blue squadron of the fleet under Orvilliers. He took part in the Battle of Ushant on 27 July 1778, where he was wounded.
Monteil was promoted to Chef d'Escadre in 1779. In 1780, he was given command of the squadron of the Caribbean, comprising five 74-gun ships, four 64-gun ships and 6 smaller units, with his flag on the 74-gun Palmier, although he remained largely idle. He took part in the Siege of Pensacola in May 1781. He then returned at Cap-Français, arriving on 10 July.
On 17 July 1781, transferred to command of the Blue squadron (rear) in De Grasse's fleet, with his flag on the 80-gun Languedoc. Before his squadron departed, an accidental fire destroyed the 74-gun Intrépide, which exploded. Monteil took part in the Battle of the Chesapeake on 5 September 1781.
On 25 November 1782, he became an Ordinary member of the Académie de Marine. Monteil was promoted to Lieutenant général des armées navales on 8 February 1783.
# Hôtel Porgès

The Hôtel Porgès was a hôtel particulier on Avenue Montaigne in Paris, designed for Jules Porgès in 1892 by Ernest Sanson, with a garden by Achille Duchêne, on the site of the Maison pompéienne. It was sold in 1937 after his widow's death and demolished in the 1960s to make way for flats.

# Adam & Eve (song)

"Adam & Eve" is a country song written and performed by Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson. It was co-produced by Kasey's brother, Nash and released in July 2012 as the lead single from their pair second collaborative studio album, Wreck & Ruin (2012).
The song is loaded with religious imagery including serpents and sin and storytelling that's part fairytale and Biblical. Nicholson said "There is no symbolic connection between us and Adam and Eve. I don't know if that story ended that well anyway."
Chambers said "Adam and Eve definitely takes a very old traditional type story and puts a modern twist on it, which is I guess what the album is generally. We talked about how that would be a good concept for a song, being that we're husband and wife and can play the parts as actors."
At the Country Music Awards of Australia of 2013, the song was nominated for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Video of the Year. Chambers and Nicholson won Group or Duo of the Year for this song.

## Music video

The music video for "Adam & Eve" was directed by Helen Clemens and released on 7 August 2012. The video tells the tale of outlaws on the run from the law. Kasey and Shane escape through outback purgatory, travelling through barren landscapes and changing climates.

## Reception

auspOp said the song sees "Chambers & Nicholson doing what they do best – hamonising beautifully on a simple, stripped back country/folk song."
# Kalthof Church

Kalthof Church (German: Kalthöfische Kirche) was a Protestant church in the Kalthof quarter of eastern Königsberg, Germany.
Berthold Kleist, the last owner of the estate Kalthof, donated land in 1899 and 70,000 marks in 1901 for the building of a new church. Construction of the Neo-Gothic church occurred from 1905 to 1907 and included tiles from Kadinen. The church was formally named the Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche (Emperor Frederick Memorial Church) after Frederick III, German Emperor, upon the request of Kleist. It became a separate parish from Altrossgarten Church in 1924. Damaged during the Battle of Königsberg, the church's ruins were demolished by the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
# LaClede Town

LaClede Town was a mixed-income, federally funded housing project in St. Louis, Missouri. Located near St. Louis University, it opened in 1964. It incorporated a mix of housing types and had spaces dedicated to social interaction and artistic production. It was an intentionally diverse community with respect to residents' income and race/ethnicity. This experimental urban development was "cool, hip, cheap and populated by people committed to making integration work." It became an incubator for new music, dance, poetry and other arts, especially jazz. Loyal former residents began organizing reunions in 1997.
Eventually, LaClede Town became run down, and the complex was demolished in the late 1980s. Some of the Grand Forest Apartments, a part of LaClede town, still exist as student housing for St. Louis University. Berea Presbyterian Church, which was central to the community and predated the LaClede Town development, still stands. However, it has been redesigned for commercial use.
# Vocalzone Throat Pastilles

Vocalzone Throat Pastilles is a brand of throat pastille, or throat lozenge, used to help keep a speaking or singing voice clear during public performance and singing. The company was founded in 1912 by William Lloyd, who adapted a medicine he had created for the tenor Enrico Caruso into a pastille form. After Lloyd’s death in 1948, Vocalzone was sold to Ernest Jackson in 1955 before later being acquired by Kestrel HealthCare Limited (now Kestrel Medical Limited) in 1993.
Vocalzone received international attention after being used by Theresa May during her keynote speech to the Conservative Party conference in October 2017 where she struggled with cold. Other notable users of the product include Tom Jones, Derek Jacobi, Hilary Duff, Jme, Frank Turner, James Hetfield, Cristina Scabbia, Nick Holmes, Jerry Only, the Swingles, Katherine Jenkins, Dionne Warwick, Wendi Peters, Stevie McCrorie, Kelly Jones, Jack Savoretti, Gaz Coombes, Simon Mayo and Thom Yorke.
In 2017 the company partnered with British music company The Famous Company, and have sponsored stages at several festivals in the United Kingdom.
The main ingredients used in Vocalzone are menthol, peppermint oil and myrrh tincture, with a small amount of licorice extract. Also present are sucrose, liquid glucose, modified starch (tapioca, maize), vegetable oil, carnauba wax, color E153 (vegetable carbon black, glucose syrup, sodium benzoate E211), and purified water.
Vocalzone is vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free. There are multiple flavors of Vocalzone pastilles, including sugar-free choices, and a Vocalzone tea.
# Buffalo Ranch

Buffalo Ranch was a tourist attraction which was operated on 115 acres (0.47 km$^2$) in what is today Newport Beach, California by Gene Clark of the Irvine Company and the grandson of the famous Indian chief Geronimo. It was the first outside business to be allowed onto land owned by The Irvine Company. The ranch began with a herd of 72 buffalo, and this number quickly grew. Several Indian families from Kansas were invited to live in the area and work at the Ranch to add to its authenticity and present various tribal dances for the tourists. Bison Road, which exists today as a connection between Jamboree and MacArthur roads in Newport Beach, was originally created as an access road to Buffalo Ranch.

## As Urbanus Square

In late 1959/early 1960, Buffalo Ranch was shut down due to rising land costs. At the same time, a nearby site had been chosen for the University of California, Irvine campus, and the Irvine Company had hired the campus' architect, William Pereira, to plan the city of Irvine around it. Pereira, who considered himself a "barn freak" and enjoyed renovating them, took the vacant Buffalo Ranch barn and converted it into his on-site planning office. As the project grew, Pereira added additional buildings to the site, which he renamed "Urbanus Square." It was here that much of the cities of Irvine and Newport Beach were planned, as well as many of Pereira's projects outside the Los Angeles area (such as Geisel Library in San Diego).

## Later existence

Bonita Canyon, which lies within the land that had once been Buffalo Ranch, became somewhat notorious in the late 1960s as a hideout for hippies from the nearby university. Indeed, drug paraphernalia and evidence of sexual encounters were frequently found there by rock climbers who frequented the canyon, attracted mainly to a large rock formation that was known as the "Buffalo Chip."
Long after Pereira and his team departed, the barn stood on the street corner as a landmark to passersby. It was demolished in the 1990s to make way for the Bonita Canyon housing development. Today, a large bronze statue of a buffalo stands at the street corner with a plaque placed in front of it honoring the site's history.
Part of the barn, including the silo that Pereira had converted into a 360-degree survey platform for his planning efforts, was moved to Centennial Farm at the Orange County Fair & Exposition Center where it remains to this day.
The main section of this barn is still located in Newport Beach. It can be seen fully rebuilt at the corner of Irvine Avenue and Holiday Road.
# New Synagogue (Shanghai)

The New Synagogue (Chinese: 拉都會堂) was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was located at 102 rue Tenant de la Tour in the French Concession of Shanghai, China. The synagogue was opened in 1941 to serve the city's then growing Ashkenazi Russian Jewish community, and was closed in 1965 after the departure of most Jews from Shanghai following the Communist victory in China.
The building was repurposed as the auditorium of the Shanghai Institute of Education. It was demolished in the 1990s.

## History

The New Synagogue was built by the Russian Jewish community of Shanghai. During the 1930s, the number of Russian Jews in the city increased to more than 4,000, exceeding the capacity of the existing Ohel Moshe Synagogue in Hongkew. After years of fundraising and construction under the leadership of Rabbi Ashkenazi, the synagogue was opened just in time for Passover in 1941. Ashkenazi served as its rabbi, and the Shanghai Ashkenazi Jewish Communal Association (SAJCA) also moved to the New Synagogue. It was located at 102 rue Tenant de la Tour (Ladu Lu in Chinese, now South Xiangyang Road) in the Shanghai French Concession, and was commonly called the Tenant de la Tour or Ladu Synagogue.
With a capacity for 1,000 people, the New Synagogue was described as a "grand" and "splendid" building. The Japanese, who had occupied the Chinese sections of the city since the 1937 Battle of Shanghai, provided tons of cement, a precious commodity during the ongoing Second Sino-Japanese War, for the foundation of the New Synagogue. Soon after the synagogue was opened, however, the Pacific War broke out on 8 December 1941. The Japanese army occupied the Shanghai French Concession and the Shanghai International Settlement, and took over the synagogue for their own use. It was returned to the Russian Jewish community after the end of World War II.
With the eruption of the Chinese Civil War and the subsequent establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Jewish population in Shanghai plummeted. In the 1960s, the New Synagogue became the "united" synagogue for all Jews, both Ashkenazim and Sephardim, still remaining in the city. It finally closed in 1965.
The synagogue was later used as the auditorium of the Shanghai Institute of Education. It was demolished in the 1990s.
# San Estevan (Maya site)

18°8′21.99″N 88°30′51.23″W﻿ / ﻿18.1394417°N 88.5142306°W﻿ / 18.1394417; -88.5142306
The San Estevan archaeological site is located in northern Belize 1 km from the modern community of San Estevan, Belize. The site is a Maya civilization site occupied during the Formative (800 BC – AD 300) and Classic (AD 300 – 900) eras of Mesoamerican chronology. San Estevan is located on the New River halfway between the sites of Cerros and Lamanai. Beginning in the Late Formative period (300 BC – AD 300), San Estevan was a regional political center.

## Archaeological investigations

William Bullard mapped the civic-ceremonial center of the site in the 1960s where he carried out excavations and restored two Early Classic structures (I and II). During the Corozal Survey Project, Norman Hammond excavated at San Estevan and expanded Bullard's map with several additional plaza groups around the site core. It was the ceramic collections from these excavations at San Estevan along with initial testing at Nohmul, Santa Rita, Colha and Cuello that Duncan Pring first established the Swazey, Lopez Mamom and Cocos Chicannel phases. In 1989 and 1990, Laura Levi mapped outlying house groups at San Estevan in detail and excavated several domestic structures.
During the late 1990s, much of the monumental architecture in San Estevan's core was bulldozed and a large crater excavated for the underlying limestone marl in order to construct modern roads. Mound XV, at 15 m, is the highest structure remaining at the site and dates to the Late Formative period. This mound was only saved from the bulldozers due to the intervention of the Belize Department of Archaeology in the late 1990s. The damage to San Estevan is unfortunate, but provides remarkable access to the earliest occupation at the site's center. Taking advantage of the easy access to the earliest occupation levels, Robert Rosenswig of the University at Albany – SUNY began work on the earliest occupation levels at the site in 2002.
# Kasimir Wedig von Bonin

In 1740, he participated in the Silesian, Bohemian and Saxon campaigns of the War of Austrian Succession. In 1743, he received a dragoon regiment and was promoted to major general. During the Second Silesian War, in 1745, he participated at the battles of Hohenfriedberg and Kesseldorf. On 24 May 1747, he was promoted to lieutenant general of the cavalry.
In December 1748, he received the Black Eagle Order for his military service. He died on 12 September 1752 in Landsberg an der Warthe. In 1851, his name was included on the Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great.

## Family

Bonin was one of the old Pomeranian noble families. He had two brothers, Ulrich Bogislaus von Bonin and Anselm Christoph von Bonin.

# Emma Brown (powerlifter)

Emma Brown (born 18 September 1979) is a retired British Paralympic powerlifter who won gold medals at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Paralympics.

## Personal life

Brown was born in Gravesend, Kent, England to Welsh Parents. However, she is Welsh by right and hates articles referring to her being born in England as she only lived there for the first 2 years of her life. She has lived in Wales ever since. Brown is a full-time wheelchair user as she cannot walk as a result of being born with spina bifida. She has also lived in Tonteg, South Wales. She has appeared twice (1999-2000 and again in 2014) on Countdown.

## Powerlifting career

Previous to powerlifting Brown participated in other sports such as track and field (especially archery). On one occasion the weather was so atrocious that the teams decided to go in watch some of the indoor sports. So she decided to have a go at powerlifting at Stoke Mandeville and set a British record with her first lift. Emma has said many times in interviews that she preferred the sport because it was indoors and out of the weather!
At the 2000 Summer Paralympics hosted by Sydney, Australia, she lifted 132.5 kg to win the gold medal in the women's up to 82.5 kg event. As the sport was making its Games debut she became the first British woman to win a Paralympic powerlifting gold medal.
She competed at her second Paralympics at the 2004 Games held in Athens, Greece. She successfully defended her title in the women's up to 82.5 kg competition; she lifted a total of 130 kg, tied with French lifter Carine Burgy, but won the gold medal based on her lower body weight.
In addition to her Paralympic games medals Brown won World Championship gold medals in 1998 and 2002 as well as six European titles in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005.
Injury forced her to retire from competitive powerlifting in 2007.
