# Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw

Paul Halmshaw also known as "Hammy" (born 1965) is a British musician who founded Peaceville Records, which signed some of the most infamous death, black, and doom metal and crust punk bands worldwide in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s.
He was raised in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England, where he began playing drums at school and became a 'punk rocker'. He formed the band Instigators with his school friend Simon Mooney (guitar). After Simon Bridgewater (vocals) and Simon Elsey (bass) joined they made some demo recordings at Lion Studios in Leeds. These collected demos became the first release on Hammy's then cassette only label, Peaceville Tapes in 1983.
As the tape label became successful it became obvious that a move into vinyl releasing was the next logical step and following his departure from the Instigators in 1985 he worked on making the label a profession, inaugurating the record label proper on 27 December 1986.
In 1987 he released a four-track 7" flexi-disc single, entitled "Will Evil Win?", followed by hard vinyl 7" singles by Deviated Instinct and Atavistic.
In 1988 he released the first album on the label, a compilation called A Vile Peace featuring Chumbawamba, Sore Throat (whom he joined as drummer from 1988 to 1990), Axegrinder, Electro Hippies, Doom, Deviated Instinct, Hellbastard, and many more. Expanding the label into a full-time operation, he continued to release albums by Electro Hippies, Deviated Instinct, and Doom. He then ventured into metal for the first time with Toranaga. As the label grew, he signed more professional acts like Autopsy, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Darkthrone, At the Gates, Vital Remains, and many others throughout the early 1990s.
Coincidentally, he also ran Vile Music, which from 1988 onwards was a music publishing company and held the rights to the releases of every band signed to Peaceville. Eventually, in 1997, the publishing was spun out of the label as a separate entity and signed to Zomba for worldwide administration.
Hammy continued to run both Peaceville Records and Vile Music Publishing until 2006, when he sold his holding in the record label to concentrate solely on the publishing company.
In December 2016, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the founding of the record label proper, he released his memoirs, entitled Peaceville Life. This was released through his 'Hell Segundo' imprint which was launched at the same time. In August 2019 it was reissued by UK publishing house Cult Never Dies
As of March 2021, Paul was diagnosed with hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy.
# Ernst-Thälmann-Park

Ernst-Thälmann-Park is a park in the centre of the Prenzlauer Berg district in Berlin. It was laid out in 1986 at the site of a former coal gas plant and named after the former Communist party leader Ernst Thälmann (1886–1944).
The former plant, built in 1874, was closed in 1981, with the last gasometer demolished in 1984. In honor of Berlin's 750-year jubilee, the East German government drew up plans for an "inhabited park", including a memorial, a public pool, a planetarium, a school, and a housing estate for 4,000 residents. The park was inaugurated on 16 April 1986, Thälmann's hundredth birthday. The soil and groundwater were extensively contaminated with cyanides, phenols and tar that had to be cleared by excavation and bioremediation after German reunification. Though there had been some discussion about the name, a majority of dwellers voted against a change in 1997. Today the park features public houses as well as art galleries and a small theatre at the former administrative building of the gas plant.
The 14 m (46 ft) Ernst Thälmann bronze monument was created by Soviet sculptor Lev Kerbel between 1981 and 1986. Some plaques with political slogans were removed in the 1990s. The monument remains a protected landmark today.
Since the early 2000s, the Ernst Thälmann bronze monument has become an internationally famous skateboarding spot. Memorable skateboarders such as Dylan Rieder and Kenny Hopf have performed at the venue, with Hopf filming a video there during the COVID-19-lockdown in 2020.
# Eulophia streptopetala

This species is widespread and is usually found at forest margins, in bushy scrub, or in grasslands from the coast to 2550 meters above sea level. The plant produces a tall inflorescence originating from the subterranean pseudobulb that continues to produce flowers over several months. The flowers are approximately one centimetre in diameter with yellow petals and brownish green striped sepals.

# Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham

Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham (9 August 1794 – 12 December 1870), was a British soldier, peer and long-standing Conservative Member of Parliament.

## Biography

Hotham was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Beaumont Hotham of South Dalton, East Riding of Yorkshire and Philadelphia Dyke. His father died when he was five years old. He was educated at Westminster School.
He joined the army as an Ensign in the Coldstream Guards in 1810, and was promoted to captain in 1813, major in 1819, lieut.-colonel in 1825; colonel in 1838, major-general in 1851, lieut.-general in 1858 and full general in 1865. He fought in the Peninsular campaign of 1812–1814, including the Battle of Salamanca and the Battle of Vitoria and was at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
In 1814 he succeeded his grandfather as third Baron Hotham, but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons for Leominster in 1820, a seat he held, with a brief exception for a few months in 1831, until 1841, and then represented the East Riding of Yorkshire between 1841 and 1868. By the time he retired from the House of Commons, he was one of the longest-serving Members of Parliament.
In 1771 he rebuilt at his own expense the Parish Church of South Dalton near the family seat of Dalton Hall.
Lord Hotham died in December 1870, aged 76, and was buried in his church at South Dalton. He never married and was succeeded in his titles and estates by his nephew Charles.

# Westmount station

The Westmount station (French: Gare de Westmount) is a disused railway station in the city of Westmount, Quebec, Canada. Its address is 4848 Saint Catherine Street West at the bottom of Victoria Avenue in the Victoria Village neighbourhood. It was designed for the Canadian Pacific Railway by the company architect, W.S. Painter, and was completed in 1907.

## History

The station was expanded twice, in 1923 and 1927. The station is a testament to the rapid development of Westmount as a suburb of Montreal between 1890 and 1914. "The building’s architecture is typical of railway stations, composed of a long rectangular one-storey pavilion under a gabled roof and hipped caps, with a projecting bay that was once the ticket office, and corbels retaining the eaves."
The station closed with the end of VIA passenger service, circa 1984. Train service was moved to the Vendôme station, incorporating bus, train and metro service. The Westmount station was offered to the City of Westmount for a dollar in 1985, on condition that it be moved from the site. After much local protest, in 1989 it was allowed to stay on-site. The City approved the purchased of the building and the land under it in 1998. In 1999, the City passed a by-law authorizing permitted use of the facility: a heritage interpretive centre, an exhibition centre or a public park and square
The station was used for a "ski train" departing "Friday night or Saturday morning during the winter season, heading for the Laurentians. The cars were a forest of skis standing in the racks between the seats. It was always a noisy, colourful crowd of enthusiastic skiers."
As of 2008, the station is owned by the city of Westmount. The station closed to passenger service in 1984. It was recognized as a Heritage Railway Station according to the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act in 1994. The station does not have municipal heritage protection and sits vacant.
Councilor Philip A. Cutler proposed to convert it into a tech hub during a 2016 council meeting in Westmount. He used the transformation of Notman House as a precedent and visited as part of a fact-finding mission.
