# MV American Cormorant

MV American Cormorant (AK-2062), was a heavy-lift cargo ship built in 1975, that took part in the Gulf War. The ship is named after a genus of cormorant comprising three species found in the Americas, hence the common name American cormorant.

## Construction and commissioning

The ship was built in 1975 by the Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, Gothenburg, Sweden. She was delivered to be used by Odd Berg & Co. as MV Kollbris in the same year until January 1982.
Kollbris was later sold to Fearnley & Eger and renamed to MV Ferncarrier from 1982 until 1985. During her time in Fearnley & Eger, she was converted from a tanker to a heavy-lift carrier.
In 1985, she was bought by Osprey Ship Management as MV American Cormorant and chartered by the Military Sealift Command (MSC) for the US Army. She was assigned to Marine Prepositioning Squadron 2 and was forward deployed at Diego Garcia. American Cormorant was underway in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
The contract with MSC was completed in 2002 and she would be returned to commercial service with Osprey until 2014. Sam Woo Holdings Ltd. bought and operated the ship as Asian Atlas. She would be scrapped later.

# Grass (XTC song)

"Grass" is a song written by Colin Moulding of the English rock band XTC, released as the lead single from their 1986 album Skylarking. It reached number 100 on the UK Singles Chart.

## Background

"Grass" is sometimes mistaken to be about cannabis, but was actually written about Seven Fields, a parkland in Swindon. Moulding composed it on an open E-tuned guitar and found its harmonic changes by playing the chord shapes of Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" (1969). The mixing of violin and guitar was an idea lifted from John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep?" (1971). Skylarking producer Todd Rundgren added a tiple to the blend. Moulding originally sang the song with a deeper voice. He said Rundgren voiced concern that the effect was too close to "a molester", and so Moulding "did the Bowie thing and added an octave above it".
On Skylarking, the track bookends "Summer's Cauldron" with a reprise of its "insect chorus".

# Antti Kaikkonen

Antti Samuli Kaikkonen (born 14 February 1974 in Turku, Finland) is a Finnish politician who has served as chair of the Centre Party since June 2024. He has been a member of the Finnish Parliament from Uusimaa since 2003. He served as Minister of Defence from 2019 to 2023. Kaikkonen was the president of Finnish Centre Youth from 1997 to 2001. He has also been a member of Finnish Delegation to the Council of Europe since 2004.
In 2013, Kaikkonen was convicted of corruption charges stemming from a campaign financing scandal.
On 21 June 2016, Kaikkonen was chosen as the chairman of the Centre Party's parliamentary group.
By 2019, Kaikkonen was parliamentary head of the coalition-leading Centre Party. Amidst the Oulu child sexual exploitation scandal, he called for all party heads in Parliament to meet, and declared "everyone who comes to Finland has to follow the local laws".

## Campaign finance scandal

In the autumn of 2009, Kaikkonen received his share of the campaign finance. At that time, it was brought to public, that the Youth Foundation, of which Kaikkonen had been the chairman of the board since 2003, had distributed election support money to Kaikkonen, in municipal-, parliamentary-, and European Parliament -elections. In addition, it had also financed Matti Vanhanen's presidential election campaign, among other things. Kaikkonen resigned from the chairman's place, and then stayed as a member of the board.
The prosecutor demanded Kaikkonen's imprisonment in the Youth Foundation bribery trial, that began on 16 January 2012. In January 2013, the Helsinki District Court sentenced Kaikkonen to five months in conditional discharge for abuse of trust. He did not appeal his verdict.

# Novospassky Bridge

Novospassky Bridge (Russian: Новоспасский Мост, romanized: Novospasskiy Most) is a steel plate girder bridge that spans Moskva River, connecting Novospassky Monastery and Paveletsky rail terminal areas in Moscow, Russia (about 3 kilometers south-east from the Kremlin). It was built in 1911, as a triple-span steel arch bridge. Reconstruction in 2000 replaced arches with a simpler plate girder structure. Note that the memorial plaque on the bridge spells its name Ново-Спасский, with dash, despite tradition and spelling rules.

## History

Wooden bridges at the site of fortified Novospassky monastery existed since 16th century. The last wooden causeway was demolished in 1910.
In 1911, the city built a triple-span arched bridge, similar to other pre-revolutionary Moscow bridges. Spans were 40.54, 46.99 and 40.54 meters long, 21.2 meters wide (4 lanes, including two tram lines). Each span was supported by 14 arches, 3.7 meters high for middle span, 3.3 meters high for side spans. Steel deck was paved with 13-centimeter-thick (5.1 in) timbers.
In 1937–1938, the bridge was reconstructed to the design by Yu.F.Werner (structural engineering), N.B.Sokolov and Yakovlev brothers (architectural design). They raised the deck by 2.7 meters, which increased water clearance 8.6 meters high, 30 meters wide (for heavy barge traffic after completion of Moscow Canal). This also enabled separating embankment and bridge traffic in two levels (street-level throughways under main deck), total length with ramps reached 502 meters. Timber pavement was replaced with concrete and asphalt.

## Reconstruction of 2000

In 2000, the bridge was rebuilt with complete replacement of deck structure. Arches were replaced with a simple steel girder set covered with orthotropic deck, 24.4 meters wide. The architects tried to mimic the old outline with arch-like skirts; these look inadequately lightweight and are nowhere near the original. The structure itself is lightweight, excessively vibrating when trams pass by. Build quality is questionable. As soon as 2003, the granite-clad shoreside pillars and ramps were covered with rusty spots showing fast corrosion right under the surface. According to the authors of Bridges of Moscow, reconstruction of Novospassky is the worst of its kind ever done in Moscow.
