# Lam Siu-por

Lam Siu-por (Chinese: 林兆波; Jyutping: Lam4 Siu6 Bo1; born 28 March 1954) is a Hong Kong mathematician and the husband of Carrie Lam, who served as the fourth Chief Executive of Hong Kong from 2017 to 2022.

## Career

Lam earned his doctorate in algebraic topology from the University of Cambridge in 1983, after writing his thesis under the direction of Frank Adams.
He used to teach at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and had stayed in the UK. Lam also taught short courses at the Capital Normal University in Beijing before his wife announced her candidacy for chief executive in December 2016.

## Personal life

With Carrie Lam, Lam Siu-por has two sons, Jeremy and Joshua, both of whom studied in Great Britain.
He and his two adult sons hold Hong Kong and British nationality, allowing Carrie Lam the ability to move to the UK alongside her family.

## Political views

In a closed-door meeting during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests, Carrie Lam said that Lam Siu-por had told her she would be "condemned by history".
During the ceremony of the 20th anniversary of the handover of Macau in 2019, Lam was spotted not clapping and not singing during a group sing-along of the patriotic song "Ode to the Motherland" led by Chinese President and General Secretary of the Communist Party Xi Jinping. This was seen by some as a silent act of support for Hong Kong's pro democracy movement. An editorial compared Lam's behavior to August Landmesser's refusal to perform the Nazi salute with fellow workers during the reign of Nazi Germany.

## Research

According to the mathematics review database zbMATH Open, Lam has only one publication so far, published when he was doing his PhD.

# CKRM

CKRM is an AM radio station in Regina, Saskatchewan, broadcasting at 620 kHz. Owned by Harvard Media, CKRM broadcasts a full service country format.
Alongside music programming, CKRM is notably the flagship station of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, and the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League.

## History

CKRM was established in 1926 in Moose Jaw under the callsign CJRM. Its original owner was the Winnipeg, Manitoba grain merchant James Richardson and Sons.
In 1928, the Richardsons opened CJRW in Winnipeg and networked their two stations. CJRM opened a studio in Regina in 1933, and by 1935 all station operations were based in Regina. The stations were purchased by the Sifton family, owners of the Regina Leader-Post and CKCK Radio in 1940, and CJRM became CKRM. In 1944, CKRM affiliated with the CBC's Dominion Network until 1962 when the network was disbanded and CKRM became independent.
In late 1971, CKRM dropped its easy listening format and became a country station.
In 2001, the station would relocate from 980 to 620 kHz, shortly after the original CKCK radio closed down. CJME, formerly on 1300 kHz, moved to CKRM's former frequency. The move gave CKRM access to the second-most powerful transmitting facility in Saskatchewan, and one of the largest coverage areas in North America. Due to its low AM frequency, transmitter power, and Saskatchewan's flat land (with near-perfect ground conductivity), CKRM's daytime signal covers most of Saskatchewan's densely populated area, as well as parts of North Dakota and Montana. CKRM changed hands a number of times before its acquisition by Regina's Hill family, then-owners of CKCK-TV in 1981, under the Harvard Broadcasting banner.
The station moved into its current facility in April 2006. It is at the corner of 12th and Rose in downtown Regina.

## Programming

CKRM is the flagship radio station of the Regina Pats of the WHL, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. Roughriders games are accompanied by pre- and post-game shows, Countdown to Kickoff and Rider Roundtable, all of which are also syndicated province-wide as part of the Roughrider Football Network. It also carries a sports talk show on weekday afternoons, The SportsCage.
Jim Smalley hosted CKRM's agricultural news program Saskatchewan Agriculture Today; Smalley retired from broadcasting on April 28, 2023, after a 50-year career on the agriculture beat spanning CKRM and the original CKCK. In honour of his career, CKRM announced during Canadian Western Agribition 2022 that it would dedicate its newsroom as the Jim Smalley Newsroom.

# Gambian pound

The pound (symbol: £) was the currency of The Gambia between 1965 and 1971. Gambia used the British West African pound until it issued its own currency on October 5, 1964. In 1971, the dalasi replaced the pound at a rate of £1 = D5 (or D1 = 4/–). 1 pound was made up of 20 shillings (symbol: "s" or "/–"), each shilling consisting of 12 pence (symbol: "d", for denarius).

## History

When the Gambia was granted internal self-government in October 1963, rather than being a constituent colony of British West Africa, the West African Currency Board ordered that the Gambian pound should replace the British West African pound in the colony, and an order for unique 10/-, £1 and £5 banknotes was lodged with British banknote printer Bradbury Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. The new notes were issued within four days of the new currency ordinance under the oversight of The Gambia Currency Board, which came into effect on 1 October 1964.
The Gambia Currency Board issued the Gambia's first coinage, struck by the Royal Mint, to replace the British West African coins, on 21 November 1966. The values remained the same although the 1⁄10d and 1⁄2d coins were not issued, whilst a 4/– piece went into circulation. An 8/– coin was subsequently struck in 1970.
The Central Bank of the Gambia took over assets and liabilities of the Gambia Currency Board in 1971, and a new decimal currency was introduced to replace the Gambian pound. The new currency was named the dalasi (symbol: "D") with D1 being subdivided into 100 bututs. Again, the coins were minted by the Royal Mint and the notes were printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co. Ltd.

## Coins

Coins were introduced by the Gambia Currency Board on 18 February 1966 and these were minted by the Royal Mint in denominations of 1d, 3d and 6d, 1/–, 2/– and 4/–, with 8/– added in 1970. All coins had Queen Elizabeth II's portrait on the obverse.
| Value | Date | Composition | Reverse |
| 1d | 1966 | Bronze | Native sailing boat |
| 3d | 1966 | Aluminium bronze | Double-spurred spurfowl |
| 6d | 1966 | Cupronickel | Three peanuts |
| 1/– | 1966 | Cupronickel | Oil palm |
| 2/– | 1966 | Cupronickel | African domestic ox |
| 4/– | 1966 | Cupronickel | Slender-snouted crocodile |
| 8/– | 1970 | Cupronickel | Hippopotamus |
The Gambian 8/– coin is the only coin of this denomination ever minted. With the exception of the Hippopotamus, the reverse designs of the pre-decimal coins were reused on the new dalasi coins.

## Banknotes

On October 5, 1964, new banknotes were introduced by the Gambia Currency Board in denominations of 10/–, £1 and £5. All notes had a sailing boat with a forest background on the obverse and were produced until 1970.
| Value | Colour | Reverse |
| 10/– | Green | Natives tending their crops |
| £1 | Red | Labourers working at a wharf |
| £5 | Blue | People using hand powered machinery |

# Annie Ina Laidlaw

Annie Ina Laidlaw (23 January 1889 – 13 September 1978) was an Australian nursing matron who led the Royal Australian Naval Nursing Service during the Second World War.

## Early life

Laidlaw was born on 23 January 1889 in Lake Wallace, Victoria. Her mother was also called Annie (née Gilchrist) and her father, James Adam Laidlaw, was a pastoralist. She attended Alexandra Ladies College, which later became part of Hamilton and Alexandra College. She completed three years of nursing training in 1916 at the (Royal) Children's Hospital, Melbourne, and she worked there until the following year when she joined the Australian Army Nursing Service. She joined the service in June and in the same month she set sail for India, where she worked in Bombay and Poona until 1919.

## Nursing career

The Royal Australian Naval Nursing Service (RANNS) was formed in 1942. Surgeon Captain William Carr, who was director of Australia's naval medical services, oversaw its creation. He chose Laidlaw, who he knew socially, to lead it and she was appointed as superintending sister with an equivalent rank of lieutenant commander in April 1942, based at Flinders Naval Base where the RANNS had its own hospital. Women were recruited directly into the RAN. Laidlaw was involved in appointing the first 24. Twelve were appointed in Sydney and the remainder in Melbourne. They were required to have at least a year of nursing experience. In March 1943 she was given the title of matron as a promotion. Her nurses were widely distributed. At its wartime peak the RANNS was made up of 60 nursing sisters.

# Arthur Borton

Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Drummond Borton VC, CMG, DSO (1 July 1883 – 5 January 1933) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

## Biography

Borton was born at Cheveney, Kent to British officer Arthur Close Borton, the eldest son of Sir Arthur Borton and Adelaide Beatrice Drummond, a grandchild of Robert Kaye Greville. Borton was educated at Eton College and Sandhurst, before being commissioned into the King's Royal Rifle Corps in 1902 with whom he served in the Second Boer War. In 1908 he left the Army as unfit for general service.
At the start of the First World War, Borton was fruit farming in the United States. He returned to England and re-joined The King's Royal Rifles in 1914. After further service with the regiment he became an observer with The Royal Flying Corps in France, where he broke his neck in three places when his aircraft crashed and was declared unfit. Despite this he went to Gallipoli as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, where he won the Distinguished Service Order serving with the RNAS Armoured Cars. Borton was appointed Second-in-Command of the 2nd/22nd London Regiment (The Queen's) in June 1916, serving in France and Palestine.
He was a 34-year-old lieutenant colonel in the 2/22nd (County of London) Battalion, the London Regiment, British Army, when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 7 November 1917 at Palestine, Borton deployed his battalion for attack and at dawn led his companies against a strongly held position. When the leading waves were checked by withering fire, he moved freely up and down the line under heavy fire and then led his men forward, capturing the position. At a later stage he led a party of volunteers against a battery of field-guns in action at point-blank range, capturing the guns and the detachments. His fearless leadership was an example to the whole brigade.
He died on 5 January 1933 at Southwold in Suffolk, aged 49.
His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment Museum, Clandon Park, Guildford, Surrey.
Borton's younger brother was Air Vice Marshal Amyas Borton. He married Lorna Lockhart in 1915.
