# Gwendolen Sergant

Gwendolen Sergant (17 March 1926 - 1 June 1979) was a Major and engineer in the Women's Royal Army Corps for over twenty years, serving with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. One of her appointments involved being in charge of the British army's whole fleet of 160,000 vehicles. She was President of the Women's Engineering Society from 1974 to 1975.

## Early life and education

Gwendolen Sergant was born on 17 March 1926 in Sussex into an engineering family. She was known to friends as 'Bunty'. Her father had an agricultural engineering business, which she helped out with from childhood.
She studied for a diploma in mechanical engineering at Loughborough College in 1943, but was unable to finish the course because her father fell ill.
She continued her engineering training as an apprentice at the Rheostatic Company, Slough, during which time she gained a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering.

## Career

In 1948 Sergant joined Thorn Electrical Industries where she worked for 2 years designing fluorescent lighting.
In 1953 she took a commission as an engineer in the Women's Royal Army Corps. She spent the next 20 years working with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), rising to the rank of Major in 1964. She worked all over the world, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and Gibraltar. She was also posted to the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR), Germany.
She became Officer-in-charge of General Engineering REME 43 Command Workshop in Aldershot in 1969, where she was in charge of 160,000 vehicles and 400 civilian craftsmen. It was while serving in the army that she acquired the nickname 'Bunty'.
After her marriage she became assistant secretary to the Appointments Board of the University of Cambridge. This work included visiting industrial firms and military organisations in order to seek out opportunities for engineering graduates. In the 1977 issue of the Women's Engineering Society journal, the Woman Engineer, she described a visit to the Shell/Esso gas platform in the North Sea.

## Memberships

Sergant joined the Women's Engineering Society in 1944, was elected to the Council in 1959 and was president from 1974 to 1975 under her married name of Howard. She succeeded Peggy Hodges and was succeeded in the role by Henrietta Bussell.
In 1975, she led a group from WES to the fourth International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES) in Cracow, Poland.
In 1979 she was promoted to Fellowship of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and was also elected as a Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge.

## Personal life

In 1973 Gwendolen Sergant married Lt Cdr John Howard in Aldershot, who she first met while studying at Loughborough College. After their wedding, they both resigned their commissions and set up a garage and coachworks in Sussex. This was not successful because of an oil crisis, which forced them to give up the business. She then obtained her post at the University of Cambridge.

## Awards

BSc, C.Eng, FIMech.E., A.M.B.I.M.
# Alcazar (Paris)

The Alcazar (later Alcazar d'Hiver) was a Café-concert which opened in 1858, located at 10 Rue du Faubourg Poissonière in Paris, and closed in 1902.
This café-concert was first directed by Joseph Mayer, then by Arsène Goubert who attracted the singer Thérésa (Emma Valladon) from her position at the Eldorado. She sang for the first time as a comic actress and gained a triumph, becoming the first true star of the café-concert.
Goubert acquired another establishment, on the Champs-Elysées, which he called "Alcazar d'Été", logically renaming the "Alcazar" to "Alcazar d'Hiver". On the departure of Thérésa, the place often changed names and proprietors. It was demolished in 1902 to be replaced by offices.

## Principal artists featured

* Thérésa (Emma Valladon)
* Jeanne Bloch
* La Goulue
* Eugénie Buffet

# Manuscripts of Wales

Wales has produced a number of manuscripts over the centuries. Although most were written in Middle Welsh or Old Welsh, some were also written in Latin. In some of the more recent manuscripts it is not uncommon to have texts in Welsh, Latin, French and English in the same volume. However, some of the most important medieval manuscripts were written in Latin only, e.g. the Cyfraith Hywel.

## History

The documentation of Welsh royalty begins after the departure of the Roman army from the Great Britain at the end of the 4th century, that is the era when Welsh history was first written about, specifically the list and lives of the kings ruling in Wales. Although, some of this history is considered pseudo-histories, i.e., King Arthur, whose written origins are unknown. It was from the sixth century that the Welsh documented their history, starting with Gildas who speaks of the Romans and Kings of Gwynedd. Then Nennius in the 9th century, whose actual identity has been questioned to date. Then, the 10th century King of Deheubarth, Owain ap Hywel Dda helped write the Annals of Wales (Latin: Annales Cambriae) by using Nennius' research to record the years 447 – 947. And finally, Brut y Tywysogion was complied, and was written after the 14th century, covering the years 682 – 1332 in medieval Wales. The Brut was considered to be a Welsh translation of the lost Latin work Cronica Principum Wallie (Chronicles of the Princes of Wales), which itself was based on the works complied by Christian monks, specifically the Cisterian monastery, Strata Florida Abbey in Ceredigion. These written works give an insight into medieval Wales.

## Collections

There are several compilations of Welsh manuscripts. The most important, from a Welsh-language literature standpoint, are:

# Horn Island Light

The Horn Island Light (in later years also known as the Petit Bois Light) was a lighthouse in Mississippi originally located at the eastern end of Horn Island. Moved and rebuilt several times, it was deactivated and abandoned in 1961.

## History

Horn Island and Petit Bois Island are part of a chain of barrier islands separating the sound from the Gulf of Mexico; the passage between them, the Horn Island Pass, is the most direct route to Pascagoula by water. To guide ships through the pass, the first Horn Island Light was erected in 1874, a wooden house on a screwpile foundation. In what would become a recurring theme it was moved in 1880 due to erosion.
The second light was built on the island in 1887, a square house with dormers and a lantern on the roof. It too was moved in 1900 (the old abandoned light having succumbed to a storm in 1893), and was utterly destroyed by the 1906 Mississippi hurricane, killing keeper Charles Johnsson, his wife, and his daughter. Johnsson had been offered a ride with his family to safety but had refused, citing his duty to keep the beacon lit; his body was found after the storm, but those of his wife and daughter were never recovered.
A new light was not constructed until 1908, and at a new location in the sound at the west end of Petit Bois Island. This light was still officially named the Horn Island Light but due to its location was also called the Petit Bois Light. It was another small house, this time on a platform of piles, equipped with a fourth order Fresnel lens. It was automated in 1951 and discontinued in 1961 in favor of range lights which are still in use.
# R730 (South Africa)

The R730 is a Regional Route in Free State, South Africa. The entire 40-kilometre route is part of the ZR Mahabane Toll Route maintained by the South African National Roads Agency, which goes from Bloemfontein to Kroonstad (an alternative route to the N1 national route). Although there are no tollgates on this stretch at the moment, it is labelled as a toll road to the near public and to motorists using the road (indicated on road signage).
It begins south of Welkom at an off-ramp junction with the R30 road (which takes over as the ZR Mahabane Highway to Bloemfontein) and ends east of Odendaalsrus at a t-junction with the R34 road (which takes over as the ZR Mahabane Highway to Kroonstad).

## Route

Its northern terminus is at a t-junction with the R34 road east of Odendaalsrus. It heads south into Welkom as a dual carriageway and after 5 kilometres, it meets the R70 road at a 4-way junction. After another 2 kilometres, as the dual carriageway proceeds southwards towards Welkom Central, the R730 becomes the road to the south-south-east towards Thabong.
Just after leaving the dual carriageway, it encounters a roundabout west of the Riebeeckstad suburb and encounters another roundabout 1.5 kilometres later, which marks its entrance into Thabong. It passes through Thabong southwards for 3.5 kilometres (with one off-ramp junction) before reaching an intersection with the R73 road coming from the centre of Welkom.
The R730 and the R73 join to become one road and form a dual carriageway southwards. They are one road for 10 kilometres before the R73 becomes its own road eastwards just north of Virginia, heading towards Winburg, while the R730 continues southwards on the dual carriageway. The R730 continues for another 22 kilometres south-south-west, crossing the Sand River (where it becomes a single carriageway, still with 2 lanes in each direction), to reach its southern terminus where it meets the R30 road south of Welkom (south-west of Virginia). The R30 takes over the single carriageway here.
The entire route is designated as a toll road (although there are no tollgates) and maintained by the South African National Roads Agency.
# Redick Mansion

The Redick Mansion, also known as the Mayne Mansion and Redick Hall, was located at 3612 North 24th Street in North Omaha, Nebraska. It served as the first home of Omaha University, now known as the University of Nebraska at Omaha, from 1909 through 1917. A five-story tower on the front of the mansion was a notable landmark throughout the area.

## Early history

Henry and Mary Meyers built a simple wooden farmhouse along rural North 24th Street in 1875. In 1885 Clifton E. Mayne, a local real estate developer and businessman, bought the house, which was now located in a new suburb called Kountze Place. Using profits from his recent development called Orchard Hill, Mayne grew the house into a 20-room mansion, with a five-story tower and a wide veranda encircling the entire first floor. A large parlor, a dining room and a spacious entry hall greeted guests, along with tall chimneys, exotic woodwork and elegant fixtures throughout the house. In 1889 John I. Redick bought the residence after Mayne fell into financial difficulty. In 1898 the mansion was located across the street from the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. John Redick's son, Oak C. Redick, sold the house for $30,000 to the newly formed Municipal University of Omaha in 1907.

## Omaha University

Omaha University paid for the building and moved in in 1909, renaming it Redick Hall. The first classes were held there on September 14, 1909, for twenty-six students, nineteen of them graduates of Omaha High School. The building was used for classes and offices, and the adjacent carriage house was used as the science laboratory. The parlor was converted into a chapel and a resting room made available for female students. Faculty for the fledgling university came from the nearby Omaha Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
The campus developed quickly with the addition of Jacobs Gymnasium and Joslyn Hall, as well as a College of Law, all on the original Redick Mansion property. In 1917 the building was sold to a local grain dealer who had it disassembled and moved by train to a resort on Keeley Island on Lake Shetek near Currie, Minnesota where it became the Valhalla Dance Pavilion and Cafe until it burnt down on March 3, 1928.
Omaha University moved to its Dodge Street location starting in 1936. Today, the Redick Mansion property is the site of Omaha Public Schools' King Science and Technology Magnet Middle School. It sits across the street from Kountze Park.
# Klaipėda District Municipality

Klaipėda District Municipality (Lithuanian: Klaipėdos rajono savivaldybė) is a municipality in western Lithuania, east of the city of Klaipėda, by the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Its administrative centre is the town of Gargždai (unlike other Lithuanian municipalities, the name of this municipality does not correspond to its administrative centre). It covers an area of 1336 km² (2% of the total area of Lithuania). The municipality owns most of the Seaside Regional Park. It is home to the famous The Dutchman's Cap Hill, the highest cliff on the Lithuanian coast.

## History

Klaipėda District was formed by the occupying Soviet authorities on 20 June 1950 from the former pre-war Klaipėda County (reestablished in 1995) and part of Plungė County. Its administrative seat was the city of Klaipėda and from 25 May 1952 - the town of Gargždai.
In 1958 the town of Gargždai was redesignated into an urban-type settlement and in 1965 - into a town under the direct jurisdiction of the district government.
In 1959 the 8 sub-districts of the abolished Priekulė District and the town of Priekulė were incorporated into Klaipėda District and since 1962 the boundaries of the Klaipėda District have changed frequently.
Modern Klaipėda District Municipality was established in 1995. On 26 June 2009, by decision of the Municipal Council, 75 elderships were established.

## Industry

The most important natural resource is oil; the largest deposits are found near Diegliai, South Šiūpariai, Vėžaičiai and Vilkyčiai.
The most important industries are oil extraction (Lotos Geonafta, Minijos nafta, Manifodas), building materials (Gargždai brick factory), furniture and other wood products manufacturing and peat mining industry in the Dauparai peat bog. Industrial enterprises are mainly concentrated in Gargždai.

## Elderships

Klaipėda District Municipality is divided into 11 elderships:
| Eldership | Area | Population (2021) | Density per km$^2$ |
| Agluonėnai | 56.56 km$^2$ (13,976.28 acres; 21.84 sq mi) | 1,001 | 18 |

# DeGive's Opera House

DeGive's Opera House was the main venue for opera in the U.S. city of Atlanta from 1871 until 1893.

## History and location

The Atlanta History Center describes how Belgian consul Laurent DeGive purchased an unfinished building at the corner of Marietta and Forsyth and hired architect and civil engineer Max Corput to design the opera house.
The opera house opened on January 24, 1870, and was expanded in 1873–1874 to accommodate over 2,000 people. The opera house was later occupied by the Columbia Theater and later still by the Bijou Theater. The building was demolished in 1921 to make way for the construction of the Palmer Building, which is in turn was replaced in 1976 by an office building at 41 Marietta Street.
Earlier confusion about the location of the original DeGive's stems from two misunderstandings. First, the location was assumed to be the site of the Kimball opera house. However, this building was at the SW corner of Marietta and Forsyth; DeGive's was at the NE corner. Second, it had been assumed that the location may have been on at the corner of Marietta and Broad (not Forsyth) based on Reed's History of Atlanta. However, this reference is only to Atlanta's antebellum Masonic Hall, later destroyed in a fire in May, 1866.
In 1893, DeGive opened the new, larger DeGive's Grand Opera House, which would later become Loew's Grand Theatre, at Peachtree and Forsyth.

## Earlier opera house

DeGive's was not the first opera house in Atlanta. The first shows performed in Atlanta predate the American Civil War and were primarily performed in makeshift facilities modified for the operatic arts. Reconstruction saw the formation of the Atlanta Opera House and Building Association. The association obtained the southwest corner of Marietta Street and Forsythe Street to construct a five-story opera house. By 1868, they were out of money. Instead of hosting great performances, Atlanta's first opera house, the Kimball Opera House as it was later known, was sold at a loss. It served as Georgia's state capitol from January 1869 to July 1889.
# St Peter's Church, Liverpool

St Peter's Church was the Anglican pro-cathedral and parish church of Liverpool. It was erected in 1700, consecrated on 29 June 1704, and demolished in 1922. It was located on Church Street. Its location is now marked by a bronze Maltese cross on Church Street.

## History

The first oratorio to be performed in Liverpool was Handel's Messiah, which took place in St Peter's Church.
On 1 July 1880, J. C. Ryle was appointed as the first Bishop of Liverpool, at which point St Peter's became the pro-cathedral of Liverpool.
The church was later replaced as the cathedral of Liverpool by the current Liverpool Cathedral.
The church's records are stored in the Liverpool Records Office.

## Architecture

The building was designed by John Moffat and was erected to the south of Church Street. The architecture of the pro-cathedral was criticized for being inconsistent, as each of the doorways to the church featured different designs. The church had a single tower that measured 108 feet (33 meters) in height, with the upper part being octagonal in shape and containing a peal of ten bells.
The church contained an oak altar that was greatly admired. At the eastern end was a stained glass window representing Saint Peter, and at the western end was a large organ.
The environment surrounding the church was criticized for being muddy; Church Street was not paved until 1760 and was the site of a weekly cattle market.

## Closure and demolition

By the early 20th century, it was felt that Liverpool deserved a more significant building as its cathedral. Construction on the new Liverpool Cathedral commenced in 1904, and by 1922, St Peter's Church was deemed obsolete. The building was slated for demolition, which also allowed for the widening of Church Street. The last service took place in the church in September 1919 before demolition began, which was completed on 23 October 1922. That same year, construction of a new Woolworths store commenced, designed by William Priddle, and the store opened in August 1923.
Today, the only indications that a church once stood at the site are the name of the street and a brass Maltese cross set in the granite pavement, placed at the precise location of the doors of the former church.
# Berkeley House, York, Upper Canada

Berkeley House was a prominent house in York, Upper Canada. It was the home of two Clerks of Upper Canada's Privy Council – John Small, and his son Charles Coxwell Small. Upper Canada's first small Parliament buildings were built next door to Berkeley House. Small is reported to have hosted meetings of the province's executive committee in his home.

## History

In 1795, John Small bought a one-acre parcel of land with a large log cabin on it, which he covered in stucco and expanded. The original log cabin had been built in 1793 by George Porter, a self described former militia sergeant. Small paid Porter $50 for the property.
Charles Coxwell Small further expanded the house as an Italianate villa that became the centre of 1820s social life in York, after he inherited the property in 1831. It included multiple large rooms, including one 18x45 feet.
The building was demolished in 1925. It is now site of the Globe and Mail Centre.
Henry Scadding, an early resident of York, whose Toronto of Old recorded his recollections of York and early Toronto, devoted most of a page to describing Berkeley House, the renovations it went through, and early maps of the property. He described the early house existing in a clearing, east of King Street's eastern termination at Ontario Street. He described Charles Small expanding and "elevating" the original log cabin, and incorporating it into the expanded building. One of the maps bore the annotation "A sketch showing the land occupied by John Small, Esq., upon the Reserve appropriated for the Government House at York by His Excellency Lt. Gov. Simcoe."
