# James Holland (percussionist)

James Holland (12 February 1933 – January 2022) was an English orchestral and solo percussionist, principal percussionist at the BBC Symphony Orchestra from the 1970s until the 1990s.
Born in Ilford, Holland first took up percussion as an Army cadet at the age of 13. He went on to study with Peter Allen (timpanist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra), Max Abrams (drum kit) and Charles Donaldson at Trinity College of Music. After three years of National Service in the RAF Central Band he joined the London Philharmonic in 1956, and then the London Symphony Orchestra in 1959. In 1962 he succeeded his teacher Charles Donaldson as principal percussionist at the LSO. He stayed with the orchestra until 1972, when he became principal percussionist at the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the recently appointed chief conductor Pierre Boulez.
Holland was heavily involved in contemporary music. In the 1960s, with David Johnson, he was co-founder of the London Percussion Ensemble. He also played regularly with the London Sinfonietta from its foundation in 1969. He worked closely on percussion matters with many contemporary composers, including Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Benjamin Britten, Oliver Knussen, Krzysztof Penderecki and Hans Werner Henze.
From the 1960s Holland was a frequent broadcaster as a member of various contemporary chamber music groups. He taught at the Guildhall School of Music. In 1978 he published Percussion, part of the Yehudi Menuhin Music Guide Series. Practical Percussion, A Guide to Instruments and their Sources, first came out in 2003 and was revised in 2005.
From the late 1970s Holland was living in Buckinghamshire. He retired from the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1997. He died, aged 88, in January 2022, survived by his wife Rita and his son and daughter.

# Falkenberg (fort)

Falkenberg (Falkenbergshus) was a fort located at Falkenberg in Halland County, Sweden. The fortification was located on the south strand of the river Ätran, about 60 m (200 ft) from the southern abutment of Falkenberg Bridge. It would later give name to the town of Falkenberg which was previously known as Ätraby.

## History

Falkenberg was first mentioned in 1298. In the early part of the 13th century the province of Halland was part of Denmark. The Danish kings had built a fortification on the east shore of the Ätran river in the community of Falkenberg. The fort was the site for several Nordic treaties during the fourteenth century. In 1350s, King Magnus Eriksson made Bengt Algotsson Duke of Halland, and Falkenberg was also given to him. The fortification was demolished by Erik Magnusson in 1356 during his campaign against Bengt Algotsson.
The fort was rebuilt soon thereafter. The army of Swedish rebel leader Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson (1390s – 1436) besieged the town in 1434, under the leadership of Herman Berman. The action took place during the Engelbrekt rebellion against King Eric of Pomerania. The defenders managed the first attack successfully. They did however realise that they would not be able to continue to hold the fort. Therefore, they choose to put the fort on fire and leave it by water. The fort was again destroyed and was not rebuilt.
Excavations took place in 1885, as a railway was run through the area. The fort consisted of a tower. It had an inner area of 5.5 by 5.5 m (18 by 18 ft), while the outer area was 15.5 by 15.5 m (50 by 50 ft) at the base. The walls thickest at the base, and becomes thinner towards the top. Above the lower, partially intact parts were brick walls. The group which performed the excavations found remains of brick all over the excavated area. The group also found some loose remains such as weapons, tools and household goods as well as two finger rings and a silver coin.

# Fort Trois-Rivières

Fort Trois-Rivières (French: Fort des Trois-Rivières) was a 17th-century wooden fort in New France. It was built between 1634 and 1638 by the Sieur de Laviolette.
The construction of a wooden fort on this site marked the second permanent settlement in New France and the foundation of the modern city of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada on January 30, 1920.
It was protected by a palisade that repelled a large Iroquois attack in 1653 and was in use until 1668. It was demolished following a peace treaty signed with the Iroquois in 1668.
It was strengthened by the governor of New France, Louis d'Ailleboust de Coulonge, at the end of 1650. He gave very specific instructions for a more effective defence from attacks to the site's commander, Pierre Boucher. It was "saved from complete destruction as a result of the investments of 1653, by five hundred Mohawks."

## Commemorative plaque

A commemorative plaque is fixed to a large stone located south of the post office on des Casernes Street in what is today known as Platon Park. The perimeter of the fort is bounded by present-day streets of Saint-Pierre, Saint-Jean, Saint-Louis, des Casernes and Notre-Dame.
# Heusden Castle (Belgium)

Heusden Castle is a historical site and castle in Heusden, Destelbergen, Belgium. The present structure was built in 1899 on the grounds of a former castle built in the 11th century. The above-ground parts of the old castle were demolished in the 18th century. The moat of the old castle still exists. In 1911, remains of what were probably dungeons were found, and parts of an older building near the moat were restored.

## History

This important historical site was once the residence of the lords of Heusden (the chatelains and later viscounts of Ghent).
Originally the castle had a square keep and ring moat, of motte-and-bailey type, which rose until the early 11th century. The keep was the seat of the Heusden lordship.
Around the year 1200, Beatrix, dame of Heusden, married Zeger III of Ghent. Thanks to this marriage, the castle increased in importance and became the seat of the Viscounty of Ghent.
Zeger added a second circular moated fortress. This formed with the other one an eight-shaped inner circular moat, surrounded by the rectangular outer moat. The lords of Heusden dwelt in the oldest, southwestern part, built up in the square. The northeastern part, build along the moat, had a monumental gate and a courtyard, and was probably destined to the army. The viscounts of Ghent left Heusden Castle in the 14th or 15th century. The seat of the feudal court was then moved to the aldermen's house in the square of Heusden. The castle's ruins were still present in 1725, but then the above-ground structure disappeared.
The 8-shaped inner moat was restored in 1899. During this work new remains were excavated. The keep's foundations and traces of the drawbridge were uncovered. The remains of the castle were restored in 1911, and are visible alongside the bridge, over the southwestern moat. There are remains of wide brick walls, stone water table, various arches (including over the moat), cornerstones and archstones. Further, the remains of what were probably dungeons were found.

### 19th-century castle

The new castle was built in the middle of the old 8-shaped castle. It is eclectic, with a hip roof and sober facade interrupted by arched openings. A square tower with spire stands built against the left side. Front and rear facade (dating to 1899) are in gable stone. The castle was restored in 1987.

# St Faith's Church, Winchester

St Faith's Church was the parish church of St Cross, a village just south of Winchester, Hampshire, England. It was situated on the northern side of what is now Kingsgate Road at its junction with what is now St Cross Road. The church's graveyard is still there today. The church was demolished in 1507, and St Cross Church, part of the Hospital of St Cross, became the parish church.

## History

The earliest record of St Faith's Church is from the year 1172, but a pre-conquest cross-shaft discovered nearby suggests it was a place of worship from the 11th century or earlier.
In 1445, the Bishop of Winchester, Henry Beaufort, gave St Faith's Church to the nearby Hospital of St Cross and the Master of St Cross decided not to appoint a separate rector.
By the late 15th century, St Faith's Church was in a poor state of repair due to the decline in the population. The parishioners could not afford to repair it and requested permission to worship at St Cross Church in the Hospital instead. The Master of St Cross agreed and in 1507 St Faith's was demolished, leaving just the graveyard, which continued to be used for burials and still belongs to St Cross. The font, bell and stone screens from St Faith's were moved to St Cross Church. St Cross had had no need of a font prior to this as it had not been a parish church. The stone screens are now on both sides of the sanctuary in St Cross Church.

## Fire

The local legend that St Faith's Church burned down is untrue.

## St Cross lectern

During the Commonwealth, a worker instructed to destroy the lectern at St Cross Church saved it by burying it in St Faith's graveyard instead. It was later dug up and returned to St Cross.
# Triodia irritans

Triodia irritans is a species of plant that forms low and dense mounds of tough grassy vegetation. It is found on sandplains in arid regions of southern and central Australia.
The species was first described by Robert Brown in 1810. A common name for this and other species of Triodia is porcupine grass. Triodia irritans is found on red and grey sands in Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory, where it dominates a plain, dune or rocky hill as tussocks. Flowering occurs throughout the year. Its leaves are sharp and can easily penetrate human skin. The plant's flammability can lead to extremely fast-moving wildfires.
A minute species of dasyurid marsupial, Ningaui yvonneae, favours the protection and opportunities that T. irritans hummocks provide, and is a dominant component of the vegetation in which the tiny carnivore occurs.

# Longridge Golf Club

Longridge Golf Club, in Longridge, England, was founded around 1915, making it one of the oldest golf clubs in the county of Lancashire. Situated on Longridge Fell's Forty Acre Lane, the elevation of the clubhouse is 744 feet (227 m), which is about 400 feet below that of the fell's peak. It is a par 70, 5,904-yard course.

## Course

The course became eighteen holes, from its original nine, in 1971. Four of these holes (1, 2, 17 and 18) are located on the southern side of Forty Acre Lane and run north–south or south–north; the other fourteen, on the northern side of the road, follow the ridge of the fell, allowing for largely 180-degree views of not only the immediate West Lancashire area (most prominently the Vale of Chipping) but also into the Yorkshire Dales to the northeast.

## History

Preston Cycling Club, who were looking for a new home, merged with the already established golf club on 17 March 1917. It was known as Preston Cycling Club and Longridge Golf Club until the 1960s, and the golf club's logo still references this connection.

# Vecchi Ketchup Factory

The Vecchi Ketchup Factory in Hazlet, New Jersey produced ketchup from the early 20th century until around 1960. The factory operated in the early 20th century.
Farmers from the area brought their tomatoes to be unloaded from horse-drawn carriages at the factory to make tomato paste, ketchup and canned tomatoes. Apple butter and cider, were made in the fall, although the factory was primarily known as a ketchup factory.
The factory later became a foundry where brass castings were produced before closing around 1960. A fire destroyed much of the abandoned factory in 1963 except for the chimney, which remained until it was demolished for the Hazlet station parking project.
After the chimney's demolition in 2002, bricks from the chimney were sold for $10 each to benefit the township's proposed 9/11 memorial.

# Miles Stadium

Miles Stadium was a college football stadium located on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia. It was the home field of Virginia Tech's football team from 1926 to 1964, until the new Lane Stadium opened in 1965.
Miles Stadium opened in 1926 with 3,760 permanent seats. Subsequent expansions increased seating capacity to 17,000 permanent seats and temporary bleachers. The stadium's inaugural game was a victory over Roanoke College on September 25; four weeks later, the dedication game was a win over rival Virginia. The playing field was aligned northwest to southeast, at an approximate elevation of 2,050 feet (625 m) above sea level.
The stadium's last game was in 1964, a Virginia Tech victory over North Carolina State on November 7. The stadium was razed in 1965 and over the next thirty years the large grassy area became known as the "Prairie." In the 1990s, three new residence halls, Payne Hall, Peddrew-Yates Hall, and New Residence Hall East (together known as the "Prairie Quad") were built on the former site of Miles Stadium.
Of the 95 varsity football games played in the venue, Virginia Tech compiled a 66–25–4 (.716) record; the most memorable win was arguably in its final season, the 1964 homecoming defeat of Florida State on October 24. Undefeated FSU was ranked tenth in the nation, and was the highest-ranked team defeated at Miles Stadium. Virginia Tech did not defeat a higher ranked team until the 1995 win in the Sugar Bowl over #9 Texas on New Year's Eve.
Miles Stadium was named for Clarence P. "Sally" Miles, Virginia Tech class of 1901, former director of athletics, graduate athletic manager, professor, and dean. Virginia Tech's Miles residence hall is also named for C.P. Miles.
