# Guy Granet

Sir William Guy Granet (13 October 1867 – 11 October 1943) trained as a barrister but became a noted railway administrator, first as general manager of the Midland Railway then as a director-general in the War Office.

## Biography

Guy Granet was the second son of William Augustus Granet and his wife Adelaide Julia Granet, née Le Mesurier. He was born in Genoa, where his father was a banker. His elder brother was British army officer Edward John Granet. He was educated at Rugby School and Balliol College, Oxford (Modern History, 1889), and was called to the bar in 1893 at Lincoln's Inn.
In 1892 he married Florence Gully, daughter of William Court Gully (later Viscount Selby). They had one child, Diana, who married the novelist Denis Mackail.
Granet moved into railway management after holding the post of secretary to the Railway Companies' Association from 1900 to 1905. He was appointed assistant general manager of the Midland Railway (MR) in 1905 and became its general manager the following year, on the resignation of John Mathieson.
This was very unusual at that time, when managers almost always rose through the ranks of railway operators. Over the ensuing eight years his organisational skills, and the analytic brain of his appointee as general superintendent, Cecil Paget, effected a revolution in the company's ability to handle its heavy freight traffic expeditiously and profitably. Nonetheless, their 'traffic control' solution resulted in stifling locomotive development within the MR: the departure of chief mechanical engineer R. M. Deeley has been attributed to Granet's rejection of his moves to introduce 8-coupled freight locomotives and de Glehn 4-6-0s for express passenger use.
Having impressed parliamentary committees as an expert witness, it was natural that Granet would be called upon by the government during World War I, and he was successively: controller of import restrictions; deputy director of military railways at the War Office; and director-general of movements and railways.
Granet retained his MR appointment until 1918, when he resigned and was given a seat on the company's board. At the grouping in 1923 he became deputy chairman of the new London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company and was its chairman 1924–1927. As at the Midland, his appointee, this time Sir Josiah Stamp as president (chairman and chief executive), was crucial in the modernisation of the company's management.
Granet was knighted in 1911 as a Knight Bachelor and created GBE (Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire) in 1923. He died at Burleigh Court, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, two days before his 76th birthday, after some five years of ill health.

# Roemer Vlacq (1637–1703)

Roemer Vlacq (August 1637 – 17 July 1703) was a Dutch States Navy officer who blew up his ship to keep it out of enemy hands.
Roemer Vlacq, son of Anna Jansdochter Verrijn and Dirk Vlacq, a physician, apothecary and notary from Gouda, became lieutenant commander of Kits with the Admiralty of Amsterdam in 1671. In 1672, during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, he commanded the frigate Postiljon during the Battle of Solebay under lieutenant admiral Michiel de Ruyter. In 1673 he took part in all battles, commanding the frigate Brak. In 1674 he was commander of the transport vessel Opperdoes during De Ruyter's expedition against Martinique.
In March 1676 he went to the Caribbean as captain of Huys van Kruyningen under commodore Jacob Binckes. On 3 March 1677 he was involved in the action of March 1677. When the French boarded his vessel and threatened to overpower his forces, he blew up the ship. Most of the crew lost their lives, but French ships were damaged as well. Vlacq himself survived, although heavily injured and returned to the Netherlands in October of the same year.
At the end of the Franco-Dutch War Vlacq performed convoy services: in 1678 to the Bay of Biscay and in 1690 and 1691 in the Baltic Sea. In 1692 Vlacq was suspended for insubordination, but was rehabilitated on 14 February 1696 by stadtholder William and re-entered service with the Admiralty of Amsterdam. He once again went into convoy service.
Vlacq was injured again during the War of the Spanish Succession when a fleet of 110 Dutch and British merchant ships that he was escorting out of Lisbon with five warships hit a French five-warships flotilla under commodore Alain Emmanuel de Coëtlogon on 22 May 1703. During the ensuing Battle of Cap de la Roque, Vlacq sacrificed his warships in a successful attempt to let the merchant convoy escape. Vlacq's 50-gun flagship, the Muiderberg was attacked by the 90-gun thriple-deckers Le Vainqueur and Le Monarque. Vlacq had lost an arm and shoulder and half his crew before surrendering the ship. The entire Dutch flotilla was destroyed. He was made a prisoner and transported to Toulon, where he succumbed to his injuries on 17 July 1703.
Roemer Vlacq was grandfather to Roemer Vlacq (1712–1774) [nl], vice admiral of the Admiralty of Amsterdam.
# Mount English

Mount English is a 2,680-metre (8,793-foot) mountain summit located in the Gold Range of the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Situated 17 km (11 mi) southwest of Revelstoke, this peak is visible from the Trans-Canada Highway and Revelstoke Mountain Resort ski slopes. Neighbors include Mount Macpherson 8 km (5.0 mi) to the northeast, Mount Tilley 5 km (3.1 mi) to the east, and Mount Begbie is 8 km (5.0 mi) to the east. Precipitation runoff from Mount English drains into tributaries of the Eagle River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,540 meters (5,052 ft) above Wap Creek in 3 km (1.9 mi).

## Etymology

Mount English was named to remember George Melville English (1918–1943), a Canadian Army Sergeant from Revelstoke. He served with the Royal Canadian Artillery, but he died September 15, 1943, age 24, in an automobile accident. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted April 29, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount English is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. Despite the modest elevation, the climate supports an unnamed glacier on the northeast slope.

# National Statistical Commission

The National Statistical Commission (NSC) of India is an autonomous body which formed on 12 July 2006 under the recommendation of Rangarajan commission. The NSC is currently headed by Prof. Rajeeva Laxman Karandikar who was appointed as Chairperson of the Commission on 30 Nov 2022 for a period of three years. Prof A. Ganesh Kumar, Prof. Mukesh Mohania Shri Asit Kumar Sandhu and Prof. Debasis Kundu are other members of the Commission. Shri B. V. R. Subrahmanyam, ex. CEO of NITI Aayog is the ex-officio Member and Dr. Saurabh Garg is Secretary to the Commission. The Chairperson of the Commission enjoys the status of a Minister of State and the Members of the Commission have the status equivalent to the Secretary to the Government of India. The Chairperson and the Members also enjoy a relative security of tenure as once they assume office, they can be removed only by the President after the Supreme Court of India has on inquiry held in accordance with the procedure Article 145 of the Constitution of India reported that they ought to be removed.
The objective of its constitution is to reduce the problems faced by statistical agencies in the country in relation to collection of data.
Statistical agencies like the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) face numerous problems in collecting data from State and Central government departments, but an autonomous body like the NSC is thought to be more able to coordinate things as a statutory status would lend it teeth.
It would lay special emphasis on ensuring collection of unbiased data so as to restore public trust in the figures released by the Government.

# Kastl Abbey

Kastl Abbey (German: Kloster Kastl) is a former Benedictine monastery in Kastl in the Upper Palatinate, Bavaria.

## History

The monastery, dedicated to Saint Peter, was founded in 1103, or shortly before, by Count Berengar II of Sulzbach together with Frederick and Otto, Counts of Kastl-Habsberg.
It was dissolved in 1563 in the course of the Reformation, but re-established as a Catholic monastery in 1625. From 1636 the building was used by the Jesuits, from 1773 by the Knights Hospitallers. Dissolved again in 1803, it was the seat of the Provincial Court until 1862.
From 1958 to 2006 the buildings housed a Hungarian secondary boarding school, now closed.

## Princess Anna

Anna, daughter of Emperor Louis IV, died here on 29 January 1319 aged 18 months. Her body was not taken to Munich but was entombed in the monastery. In 1715 the body was removed from its tomb and kept in an oak cupboard. Later, preserved as a mummy, it lay in a shrine in the entrance hall to the monastery church, where it could be viewed. The body of the princess was recently returned to its tomb to protect it from light damage and a large photo is on display instead.
# Length of pull

Length of pull (sometimes abbreviated as LOP) is the distance from the trigger to the part of a rifle or shotgun which fits against the shoulder of the shooter. Length of pull is an important ergonomic factor for ease of use; and optimum length of pull may vary with the size of the shooter, the thickness of chest clothing and body armor being worn, and whether the shooter is firing from a standing, sitting, or prone position.

## Variation

Many rifles and shotguns are manufactured with a standard length of pull assumed to fit most shooters. This is often approximately 13.5 in (34 cm) for rifles and about 0.8 in (2 cm) longer for shotguns. Shooters with short arms may find the buttstock dragging along the underside of their arm as they attempt to raise the firearm into firing position. Shooters with broad shoulders or a long neck may experience face injuries from collision with the telescopic sight or thumb of the trigger hand as the firearm recoils. Modern firearms may be equipped with a telescoping stock or removable spacers to adjust the length of pull. Gunsmiths may adjust the length of pull of custom-built firearms or older firearms by cutting off a portion of the buttstock or adding a recoil pad to the buttstock. Some sources suggest a shooter's optimum length of pull will allow the butt of the firearm to exactly reach the inside of the elbow when the hand of that arm grips the unloaded firearm with a finger on the trigger. Other sources suggest a more appropriate determination may be made using a non-firing "try-gun" resembling a firearm with an adjustable buttstock. When a properly adjusted try-gun is held in a firing position, the shooter's nose should be about two finger-widths behind the thumb of the trigger hand.
