# Steve Pickell

Stephen John Pickell (born August 11, 1957) is a retired Canadian competitive swimmer for the University of Southern California, and was a silver medalist for Canada in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

## Swimming career

Pickell began swimming competitively around the age of eight and joined the Canadian national team five years later, making his debut at the 1973 World Championships. At the 1974 British Commonwealth games, he won gold as a member of the 4×100 meter medley relay, swimming with Bill Mahony, Brian Phillips, and Bruce Robertson, and captured a silver in the 100-meter backstroke, behind Mark Tonelli of Australia.

### 1976 Montreal Olympics

He won a silver medal in the men's 4x100-metre medley relay at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He did so alongside Graham Smith, Clay Evans and Gary MacDonald. Despite being Canadian he won the 1969 ASA National British Championships 100 metres backstroke title and the 200 metres backstroke title.
He swam for the University of Southern California on an athletic scholarship after the 1976 Olympics, and attended from around 1976-80, where he was mentored by Hall of Fame Head Coach Peter Daland. A major contributor to the NCAA Championships, as a Sophomore in 1978, he was unable to attend the championships due to a shoulder separation he suffered playing for the USC Water Polo team.
He was again picked for the Canadian team for the 1980 Summer Olympics, but did not attend when Canada joined the United States to boycott the Moscow Games. Prior injuries convinced him to retire not long after, since graduating from USC, he has worked in insurance and coached swimming at high school and club levels.
# Michel Sanchis

# Annibale Ciarniello

Annibale Ciarniello (9 January 1900 in Bagnoli del Trigno, Province of Isernia – 3 January 2007) was one of the last surviving veterans of the first World War at the time of his death, as well as the oldest medical doctor in Italy and one of the oldest people in the country.
Annibale was in the Italian Army's class of 1900, which were soldiers born in 1900 that enlisted in 1918 and were in non-combat rolls during the war in 1918. They were scheduled to be deployed into combat for the possible spring offensive in 1919, which never came, because the war ended when the armistice was signed on 11 November 1918.
In 1926, Ciarniello graduated from medical school at the University of Naples where he studied for a degree in Medicine and Surgery. He was still a practicing doctor for his close family members until the last year of his life, because he felt such great satisfaction and pride from his work.
He was married in 1939, fathered four sons and was a practicing doctor in the small town of Sant'Agapito until twenty years before his death, when he moved to the town of Bagnoli del Trigno, which was the same town he was born in.
Ciarniello thought that eating well kept a good balance between mind and body, and that it was a requirement for a long life. He talked fondly of his memories of when he was a student in Naples as a young man, and he was proud to have seen the region of Molise and province of Isernia grow and develop over the century.
He died in his home town of Bagnoli del Trigno at age 106 years, 11 months, and was remembered as a grandfather of the region of Molise and for having been one of the most well known doctors in the rural province of Isernia where he lived and practiced medicine.
# William Bensley

Sir William Bensley, 1st Baronet (1737 – 17 December 1809) was an English director of the East India Company.

## Life

He was the son of Thomas Bensley, and his wife Elizabeth Winter, daughter of William Winter, both of Norfolk.
Bensley was made lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1757. At the end of the Seven Years' War he was put on half-pay, and in 1764 he went to the Bengal Presidency as an East Company employee, remaining with the Company until 1777. Robert Clive recommended him for a writership, and he was given the position in 1766. He became an agent for Richard Barwell, and retained that connection when he returned to England. Judged honest by Barwell, he made money as station custom master, according to Philip Francis.
Back in England, Bensley associated with "nabobs" such as Francis Sykes and Richard Becher (died 1782), and was a supporter of Warren Hastings as a potential reformer. In 1781 he was elected a director of the East India Company. The East India Bill of 1783 and trial of Warren Hastings starting in 1785 drew him closer into the group around Hastings, such as John Sullivan. With Francis Baring and Hugh Inglis, he backed John Shore for a Council seat in Bengal in 1786. At one point at odds with Henry Dundas, he had reached an accommodation by 1789.
Bensley was created baronet of St Marylebone in the County of Middlesex on 24 June 1801. In 1805 he leased 53 Berners Street in London. He had previously lived on the same Berners Street estate, sharing with a friend, John Routledge (died 1798). When the impoverished Nathaniel Brassey Halhed was given an East India Company post in 1809, it was through Bensley's patronage.
Bensley died on 17 December 1809, and the baronetcy became extinct.
The Indiaman Sir William Bensley was launched at Ipswich in 1802. By 1816 it had become a transport ship for convicts.

## Family

Bensley married, on 12 June 1798, Mary Biscoe, daughter of Vincent John Biscoe (died 1770), a West Indian merchant and his first wife Lady Mary Seymour, daughter of Edward Seymour, 8th Duke of Somerset.
Mary Biscoe, who died in 1830, had before her marriage supported the aged Rev. James Hutton (1715–1795). She was a friend of Stephana Law, daughter of John Law the Archdeacon of Rochester, and brought about Stephana's marriage in 1799 to her brother Joseph Seymour Biscoe as his second wife. The first marriage, to Susanna Harriot Hope, had ended after a high-profile adultery case involving Richard Hope Gordon. As Lady Bensley, she died in Berners Street, age 69 or 70.
Having made a large fortune, Bensley died without issue. Robert Bensley the actor was his nephew, or son of James Bensley, uncle of William Bensley. Robert Bensley inherited from Sir William, an estate that was reported as worth £4,000 per year.
# Dhantal

The dhantal (dandtal) is a long steel rod based percussion instrument (sounding similar to the triangle), which was adapted from the iron "bows" which yoked the oxen that pulled the carts on the estates in Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, other parts of the Caribbean. The original beater (which is called a kartaal/taali) was an actual horseshoe, a shape which is still retained in the modern dhantal's beater. The top of the dhantal may be blunt or tapered to a fine point to allow for greater resonance, and its end is shaped into a circle that rests on the ground, table, or other surface when it is played. Dhantal sizes can range anywhere from 3' to 6' in length and 3/8" to 1/2" in diametre. The dhantal is an important instrument in Indo-Caribbean music styles, such as Chutney, Baithak Gana and Taan Singing.

## History

The dhantal (also called the dhandataal) is of Indian origin, but most commonly found in the Caribbean. The instrument was invented in the Caribbean by indentured laborers from India. The instrument's name literally means "stick percussion" from danda, "stick," and taal, the act of striking rhythmically.

## Technique

The rod is gripped with the player's weaker hand while the beater is held in the dominant hand. The amount of resonance is controlled by opening and closing the hand that is holding the rod. The dhantal's timbre is sharply metallic and provides a clearly defined taal (beat or pulse) to help the ensemble stay in rhythmic sync. The basic rhythm of the dhantal is an ostinato consisting of two sixteenth-notes followed by an eighth-note. An example of how the Dhantal works can be seen in the Dhantal Lesson YouTube video.
# Mejorada Ministry

The Mejorada Ministry was a Spanish government which existed between 11 July 1705 to 15 April 1714. It was headed by Pedro Fernández del Campo y Angulo, Marquis of Mejorada who was appointed by Philip V, Spain's absolute monarch.
This was a transitional time for Spain, following the establishment of a new royal dynasty and Spain's part in the Great European War of the Spanish Succession being waged over the future succession of Spain. Although Mejorda was formally the head of the government, real power was invested in Jean Orry and Marie-Anne de la Trémoille, princesse des Ursins - the royal favourites. Large chunks of Spain were under foreign occupation or refused to support Phillip's claim to the throne, to which Mejorda responded with a program of centralisation.
The Government was replaced in 1714 by the Velasco Ministry.

# Troy Dalbey

Troy Lane Dalbey (born September 19, 1968) is an American former competition swimmer, two-time Olympic champion, and former world record-holder.
Dalbey attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he swam for coach Randy Reese's Florida Gators swimming and diving team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition from 1986 to 1987. In 1987, he was named an All-American in the 50, 100 and 200-yard freestyle events, the 400-yard medley relay, and the 400 and 800-yard freestyle relays, and was a member of the Gators' 800-yard freestyle relay team that won the NCAA title that year.
Dalbey won two gold medals at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He won his first gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×100 meter freestyle relay, together with teammates Chris Jacobs, Tom Jager and Matt Biondi. He won a second gold medal with fellow Americans Matt Cetlinski, Doug Gjertsen and Matt Biondi in the men's 4×200 meter freestyle relay. Dalbey and his American relay teammates set new world records in the event finals of both the 4×100-meter (3:16.53) and the 4×200-meter (7:12.51) events. While celebrating his victories with Doug Gjertsen in a Korean bar, they removed a marble lion's head wall decoration and were arrested by the Korean police. Dalbey and Gjertsen resigned from the U.S. Olympic team, apologized to their Korean hosts in writing, and no formal charges were filed by the Korean prosecutor; Dalbey subsequently received an 18-month suspension from competitive swimming.
Dalbey transferred to Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona after the 1988 Olympics, and finished his college swimming career swimming for the Arizona State Sun Devils swimming and diving team. He received four more All-American honors as a Sun Devil swimmer in 1991.
After Dalbey retired from competition swimming, he spent several years as a swim coach, helping train other elite level swimmers, including 2 who competed in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
He now has 3 children, Jade, Tess and Tristan Dalbey. He is currently an executive in the renewable energy industry, residing in Scottsdale, AZ.

| The Age | (positive) |
Patrick Donovan of The Age opined, "Playing to prison inmates may be intimidating for some performers, but entertainment-starved inmates can be highly receptive audiences - especially if you're singing the blues... Dyson puts her newfound maturity down to experience and confidence gained from two years on the road, playing everywhere from women's prisons to three months overseas as a solo artist."
SA Blues' David Stoeckel felt, "This is the kind of mix I warm to. It has a dynamic and immediate quality about it as well as a lay back subtlety. The mix allows for the impassioned, moaning, bluesy and slightly slurred vocals to come through clearly. At the same time you are aware of the strength and beauty of the guitar playing. What is generated is an exhilarating, intimate, approachable and engaging sound filled with rich roots and blues rhythms."

# Culver Model V

The Culver Model V is a two-seat cabin monoplane designed and built by the Culver Aircraft Company.

## Design and development

Based on the pre-World War II Cadet and using the wartime experience with radio-controlled aircraft the company designed a two-seat cabin monoplane. The Model V had a low-set cantilever wing with the outer panels having a pronounced dihedral. It had a tricycle retractable landing gear and an enclosed cabin with side by side seating for two. It was unique in that it had a system called Simpli-Fly Control where the aircraft was automatically trimmed for takeoff, landing and cruise, by turning a small metal wheel between the two seats and lining up two arrows with the mode of flying the aircraft. Interconnecting controls then adjusted the trim according to the arrow settings.
In 1956 the Superior Aircraft Company bought the assets of Culver and put the Model V back into production as the Superior Satellite. The main difference was the use of a 95 hp Continental engine which increased the cruise speed to 130 mph (209 km/h). Only a prototype and five production aircraft were built.

# Regat Germans

Regat Germans or Old Kingdom Germans (German: Regatsdeutsche or Altreichsdeutsche/Altreich-Deutsche) are an ethnic German group of the eastern and southern parts of Romania. The Regat is a Romanian-language term ascribed for the initial territorial extent of the Kingdom of Romania before World War I, roughly the regions of the current state of Romania to the south and east of Transylvania.
Consequently, this territory includes Western Moldavia, Northern Dobruja, Muntenia, Oltenia, and the Hertsa region (now in Chernivtsi Oblast, southwestern Ukraine). Most of the Regat German population was re-settled in the mid 20th century during World War II through the Heim ins Reich national socialist population transfer policy. Nowadays, the remaining Regat Germans, as all other German groups in Romania, are represented in local and central politics by the Democratic Forum of Germans in Romania (FDGR/DFDR). The Regat Germans are part of the Romanian Germans.

## Population transfers to Nazi Germany

As part of the Nazi-Soviet population transfers and the Heim ins Reich ("Home into the Empire") population transfer policy, Nazi Germany called ethnic Germans abroad to settle in the former Polish territories. Consequently, 77,000 Regat Germans were resettled in those regions in 1940.
