# Manawatu cricket team

The Manawatu cricket team represents the Manawatū district of New Zealand. It is one of the 21 teams from around New Zealand that compete in the Hawke Cup.

## History

Cricket was played in the region in the 1870s. The Palmerston Cricket Club was formed in October 1878. The Manawatu Cricket Association was formed in 1895, made up of six clubs: Feilding, Palmerston North, Colyton, Carnarvon, Cheltenham and Birmingham.
Manawatu played in the very first match in the Hawke Cup, when they defeated Wairarapa in December 1910, thanks largely to the bowling of Arthur Ongley, who took 12 wickets. They have held the Hawke Cup nine times, the first time from February 1928 to March 1930, and most recently from February 2014 to February 2015. They also held the trophy between December 1934 and February 1938, and between January 1940 and April 1947.
Manawatu is one of the eight district associations that make up Central Districts, which competes in the first-class Plunket Shield, the 50-over Ford Trophy and the T20 Super Smash. When Central Districts played their first first-class match in December 1950, they were captained by Manawatu's Joe Ongley.
In 2021, to mark the 125th anniversary of the Manawatu Cricket Association, two former Central Districts and Manawatū players, Murray Brown and Alec Astle, wrote 125 Not Out, the Association's official history.

## Senior teams

The clubs that compete at senior level in the Manawatu Cricket Association are Bloomfield, Dannevirke HS, Dannevirke SC, Feilding, Freyberg, Manawatu-Foxton, Marist, Maw Haws, Old Boys, Palmerston, Palmerston North BHS, United and Wanderers.
# W. D. Wood

W. D. Woods (1858–1917) was the 23rd mayor of Seattle, appointed to fill the vacancy of Frank D. Black. He first announced his resignation to participate in the Klondike Gold Rush before asking for a leave of absence, which the Seattle city council denied. He subsequently forfeited his seat on October 18, 1897.

## Biography

Before becoming Mayor, Wood was a lawyer and real-estate speculator who developed property around Green Lake. On April 6, 1896, Mayor Black submitted his resignation to the city council citing illness and a dislike for the job. Black recommended Wood for the seat, and Wood was appointed after a city council vote.
In July 1897, Wood traveled to San Francisco to speak at the International Christian Endeavor Convention. While he was at the convention, a steamboat returning from the Klondike showed up with "a ton of gold." Wood would state his resignation while still in California, but his resignation was not officially submitted to the council.
When Wood returned to Seattle in mid-August and submitted a leave of absence for at least ninety days, which was denied by the council the following day. He would still go on his trip to the Klondike, and the council stated he would forfeit his seat on October 18 if he did not return, which he did not. After 65 votes, the council appointed Thomas J. Humes to fill the vacancy on November 19, 1897.
# Nelson cricket team

Nelson cricket team is a cricket team representing the Nelson Region of New Zealand. It played first-class cricket from 1874 to 1891, and is now one of the 21 teams from around New Zealand that compete in the Hawke Cup.

## Playing history

Cricket was first reported as being played in Nelson in the Nelson Examiner in March 1844, in a match between the Surveyors of the Land Company and Nelson. Nelson as a representative team played interprovincial cricket as early as 1862, later first playing first-class cricket in 1873-74 against Wellington at the Basin Reserve, becoming the fifth team to play first-class cricket in New Zealand. This match is also notable for having ended in a tie, the eighth time this had happened and one of sixty occasions overall that a first-class match has ended in such a result.
Over the coming seasons, Nelson averaged one first-class match a year, all but one of them against Wellington, before appearing in first-class cricket for a final time in 1891 against Wellington at Trafalgar Park. Nelson played 17 times in first-class cricket, winning nine and losing seven. Nelson used three home grounds during this period, all of them in the city of Nelson: Victory Square, the Botanical Gardens and Trafalgar Park.
The 17 matches were extremely low-scoring affairs. Only twice did a side reach 200, and on 40 occasions a side was dismissed for under 100. Nelson's highest team score was 238 at Wellington in 1880-81, when Louis Balmain, in his only first-class match, top-scored with 40, having also top-scored with 50, Nelson's first individual fifty, in the first innings. Nelson's only other fifty was a 52 made by Andrew Bennett at Wellington in 1886-87. The best innings and match figures were 9 for 43 and 5 for 20 (14 for 63 in the match) by Thomas Eden in 1875-76. Bennett, in his only other first-class match, took 6 for 13 and 6 for 5 for Nelson in 1885-86.
The origin of the "Nelson" superstition in cricket is unknown. However, in both Nelson's first and last innings in first-class cricket they were dismissed for 111 – "Nelson".

## Current status

Nelson today compete in the Hawke Cup, which is played below first-class level. Nelson have won the competition several times, and hold the record for the longest period of holding the trophy, from December 1958 to February 1965. They also held the title from 1979 to 1983.
In 1963-64, defending their title against Waikato, Nelson made 632, a Hawke Cup record. The record stood until Nelson beat it in 1983-84, when they scored 641 for seven defending their title against Taranaki. In their next match, in 1984-85, they beat it again, scoring 649 against Wairarapa. The record stood until Manawatu beat it with 650 all out in 1993-94.
The Nelson Cricket Association relocated from Trafalgar Park to Saxton Oval in 2009. The Nelson Cricket Association forms part of the Central Districts cricket team, which competes in first-class, List A and Twenty20 domestic cricket competitions.

# Conklin, Virginia

Conklin was an unincorporated community in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States. The site of the former community is located around State Route 620 (Braddock Road) State Route 606 (Loundoun County Parkway) and straddles the southern border of the census-designated place of South Riding. The only two buildings remaining of the community are the Settle-Dean Cabin, the home of a family of slaves, and Prosperity Baptist Church and Cemetery.

## History

After the American Civil War (1861–1865), emancipated black slaves settled in the area that would later be known as Coklin. The community would receive this name after Pennsylvanians John R. and Mary Conklin built a homestead in the 1870s. The Conklins would establish a store here in 1890 and it would serve as a post office for the community. In 1872, the Conklin School, a single-room schoolhouse for black children, was built and operated until 1948.
In the 1850s, one of the emancipated slaves who lived in Conklin, Charles Dean, was willed the 142 acre property of his slaveowners, the Settle family. He, with assistance from his daughter Jennie Dean, donated a portion of his to establish Prosperity Baptist Church in 1889. The church was burnt down in a fire of unspecified cause in 1951, but a new church building would be constructed in 1972. One of the few remaining buildings of Conklin is the Settle-Dean Cabin, which was the home that the Dean family lived in while enslaved.
In 1995, the community of South Riding was established. The new community would engulf Conklin as the homebuilding company Toll Brothers began developing residential subdivisions at the site. The Settle-Dean Cabin, which was in poor condition, was dismantled and relocated on the western side of Loudoun County Parkway to make way for the new development and informative signs were added at the new site. A ceremony was held on November 5, 2011 to celebrate the completion of the project.
# Donna R. Johnson

Donna R. Johnson (born c. 1934) is a former legislator and legislative aide in the U.S. state of Colorado. A long-time legislative assistant to Sen. Dan Grossman, Johnson was appointed to the Colorado State Senate by Gov. Bill Owens in 2006 to serve for the final weeks of Grossman's term following his early resignation.
Donna Johnson is chairwoman for the political action committee "Making Colorado Great".

## Legislative appointment

Johnson retired from a career in Jefferson County schools, and was president of the Jefferson County Education Association - Retired. Johnson served as a legislative assistant to Sen. Dan Grossman for seven years.
Grossman, who was term-limited following the November 2006 legislative elections, resigned from the legislature on December 1, before the expiration of his term, because of new ethics laws which would prevent him from lobbying the legislature for a period of two years.
Under Colorado state law, a Democratic Party vacancy committee was authorized to appoint a replacement to fill the seat for the remainder of Grossman's term. The vacancy committee did not achieve a quorum, however, leaving the seat to be filled by outgoing Republican Governor Bill Owens.
On December 15, 2006, Owens appointed Johnson to the vacant seat; the interim appointment was supported by Chris Romer, who had been elected to the seat in the November 2006 election. She was sworn in at the Colorado State Senate chambers on December 28, 2006 at 9 a.m. by Colorado Supreme Court justice Gregory Hobbs. Her term as a state senator expired when the following session of the General Assembly opened on January 10, 2007, and Romer was sworn into the Senate seat.
Johnson represented Senate District 32, which encompasses southern Denver. The legislature took no official actions during her brief tenure in the State Senate; Johnson would have been eligible to vote as a Senator had a special session been called during her term.
# Émile Loubon

Émile Charles Joseph Loubon (12 January 1809, Aix-en-Provence - 3 May 1863, Marseille) was a French painter, known for his panoramic landscapes of Provence, featuring figures and animals.

## Biography

He was the son of Noël Augustin François Loubon (1777-?) a wealthy merchant. He originally studied drawing with Jean-Antoine Constantin, François Marius Granet and Louis Mathurin Clérian (1768-1851). The latter, who also served as Director of the École de dessin d'Aix-en-Provence [fr], appears to have had the most influence on his style.
In 1829, Granet invited him to come along on a study trip to Rome, where he became acquainted with architecture in addition to painting. It was there he began doing landscapes and remained for two years. He returned to France in 1831 and went to Paris, where he associated with other young artists; notably Thomas Couture, with whom he collaborated on a work that he was preparing for the Église Saint-Jean-de-Malte. In 1833, he was awarded a medal at the Salon.
The sudden financial ruin of his father forced a quick return to Aix in 1845. His uncle, who was an assistant at the École des beaux-arts de Marseille [fr], managed to get him a position in the drawing school. He soon attracted attention for his efforts to find new, more realistic ways to teach drawing. During that time, he also created the first salon for "friends of the arts" in Marseille. It drew such participants as Eugène Delacroix, Camille Corot and Prosper Marilhat. After 1848, it was suspended due to unfavorable political events. The following year, he spent some time in the Near East and produced some Orientalist paintings.
In 1853, he held his second exhibition at the Salon, which was favorably reviewed. It was at this time that he began to express his dislike for the color blue. In his later years, blue became gray or brown in most of his works.
It is generally believed that he suffered from serious marital problems. His wife had been a model and was apparently very spoiled and petulant. He also expressed some bitterness for the art world in general, saying that he had been exploited and his works misused.
He was in poor health for many years and succumbed to intestinal cancer in 1863. Among his notable students may be mentioned Joseph-Marius Cabasson, Édouard-Auguste Imer and Alphonse Moutte.

# What's a Woman?

"What's a Woman?" is a 1990 pop-rock song recorded by Belgian band Vaya Con Dios. It was the second single from band's second studio album, Night Owls (1990). It achieved success in many European countries, topping the chart in the Netherlands, and becoming a top-five hit for three weeks in France. To date, it is Vaya Con Dios' most successful song.
In 2006, the band re-recorded the song as a duet with Aaron Neville, available on its best-of The Ultimate Collection. About this version by Neville, Dani Klein said in an interview : "We were discussing the whole project at Sony BMG and they asked me "Who would you like to do a duet with?" The first person that came into my mind was Aaron Neville, because I'd seen him a few months ago here in Brussels and I was just amazed at his voice! This man has a unique voice... his voice is incomparable. The song goes "What's a woman if a man doesn't treat her right?" And the fact that a man sings that gives it another dimension. I thought that was interesting."
The song is featured in the Swedish movie Vingar av Glas (Wings of Glass), starring Alexander Skarsgård.

# Operational Silo Test Facility

The Operational Silo Test Facility (OSTF) is a former United States Air Force intercontinental ballistic missile launch facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, United States. It was a developmental launch site for the silo-based Titan and Atlas missile series.
The site was originally constructed for Titan I tests. On 12 December 1960, a fully fueled Titan was lifted to the surface in preparation for launch when the silo elevator collapsed. The missile fell back down into the silo and exploded, damaging the facility so badly that it was abandoned. The first launch of a silo-based missile would take place 1,200 feet (370 m) to the northwest inside the Silo Launch Test Facility (SLTF).
The OSTF complex also included silos for launching Atlas E and F missiles; coffin types for the former and elevator types for the latter. Atlas testing began rather ignominiously when Missile 27E exploded at liftoff on 7 June 1961, putting OSTF-1 (also designated Site F or 576 Foxtrot) out of use for seven months. The facility went on to host another nine Atlas E launches before being decommissioned in 1966.
Operational tests were designed as practice drills for ballistic missile crews and also engineering tests of the missile and silo equipment—they would travel to Vandenberg Air Force Base and launch a randomly selected missile from the inventory, which was then equipped with telemetry and Range Safety destruct packages. Some launches tested reentry vehicles or Nike-Zeus target missiles.
OSTF-2 (also designated Site G or 576 Golf) hosted seven Atlas F launches between 1962 and 1965. This facility received its own baptism of fire on 4 October 1963 when Missile 45F tipped over at liftoff after one engine failed to start. Damage to the silo was not that serious and it hosted the final Atlas R&D flight two months later. Then on 2 April 1964, a repeat disaster happened when Missile 3F failed in virtually identical fashion to 45F. This time OSTF-2 was not used again for six months, after which it hosted the finale Atlas ICBM test, Missile 106F, on 8 January 1965 and was then decommissioned from service.
