# Hip Hop History

Hip Hop History is a collaboration album by Master P and his son Romeo Miller, performing as the Miller Boyz. It includes guest performances by Tank, Lil Boosie, Playa, Bblak, Mizz Kitty, Young V and Marques Houston.

## Conception and promotion

In June 2007, Master P and Romeo announced plans to create a joint album without profanity while still containing "street music" themes.
Initially, the idea of this album was met with derision, with 50 Cent criticizing Master P as irrelevant. However, in September 2007, Master P was a surprise guest on an episode of the BET music show 106 & Park that had 50 Cent as guest host. The two rappers discussed Hip Hop History cordially.

# Walter Reginald Hume

Walter Reginald Hume (29 November 1873 – 21 July 1943) was an Australian inventor and industrialist known for inventing modern techniques of producing concrete and steel pipes.

## Early life

Hume travelled around Victoria in his early years with his father who gave lectures as a professional phrenologist. Walter Hume was 12 years old when his father died and in the altered family circumstances, Hume had to leave school to find work. He tried his hand at several trades, including plasterering.

## Invention and industry

During the depression of the 1890s, Hume and his elder brother, Ernest James Hume (ca.1869 – 18 January 1929), joined forces and worked in country Victoria in construction, repair and farming, from which they developed a workshop business at Malmsbury, Victoria making fencing droppers from hoop iron. The brothers received their first patent for this work.
The brothers moved to South Australia to establish a second factory, but soon after closed down the original Malmsbury business, diversifying towards ornamental steel fencing. In 1910, they established Humes' Patent Cement Iron Syndicate Ltd.as a means of commercialising and developing the centrifugal process for the manufacture of concrete pipes invented by Hume. This technology had a profound impact internationally in developing modern drainage and sewerage systems. On 7 November 1940, a significant contract was signed with the South Australian Government, for construction of the Morgan Whyalla pipeline, to the value of £505,627. Between 1921 and 1926 they ran 250 miles (400 km) of reinforced concrete pipe for the Loveday Irrigation Project. The locomotive used to transport all materials has been restored and operates as an attraction at the Cobdogla Irrigation Museum.
William Dargie painted two portraits of Hume.

## Death

Walter Hume died of cancer in Melbourne on 21 July 1943, leaving five sons and three daughters.
# Slingsby Hengist

The Slingsby Hengist was a British military glider designed and built by Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd. Like other British troop carrying gliders in the Second World War, it was named after military figures whose name began with H, in this case the Jute invader Hengist.

## Design and development

The use of assault gliders by the British was prompted by the use by Germany of the DFS 230 transport glider, which was first used in May 1940 to land assault troops on the Eben Emael fort in Belgium. Their advantage compared to parachute assault was that the troops landed in one place, rather than being dispersed.
The Slingsby T.18 Hengist was designed by John "Jack" Frost. It was a 15-seat glider designed to meet Specification X.25/40 (in accordance to O.R.98), issued in February 1941. The specification was issued in case sufficiently powerful tugs were not available for the larger Airspeed Horsa. Four prototypes were ordered in late 1940, the first prototype DG570 flying in January 1942, towed by an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley.
A total of 14 production Hengist Mk I were delivered to the Royal Air Force (RAF) between February 1943 and March 1944. One of Frost's unique design touches was to fit the Hengist with a rubber bag as a landing device. A strengthened undercarriage was used on the production aircraft and was called the Mk III, but this name was not carried over to the RAF.
The Hengist had a distinctive appearance with curved upper and lower surfaces and a flat sided fuselage.

## Operational history

Two Hengist Mk Is were delivered to the Glider Pilots' Exercise Unit while others were issued to experimental units or remained in storage. Production was halted when Waco Hadrian gliders became available under Lend-Lease. As a back-up type, it saw no operational service and was phased out of service in 1946.

# Eric Gowing

Eric Austin Gowing (11 March 1913 - 3 June 1981) was the seventh Anglican Bishop of Auckland. His episcopate spanned a long period during the second half of the 20th century.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Gowing was educated at North Sydney High School and the universities of Sydney and Oxford, before beginning his ordained ministry as a curate at St Mary's Deane Stafford. After an incumbency at St Peter's Norbiton, he emigrated to New Zealand in 1950 where he was Vicar of Merivale and Archdeacon of Christchurch before his appointment to the episcopal see of Auckland in 1960; he was consecrated a bishop on 1 November 1960. He was one of the last bishops to wear the traditional frock coat, hose and gaiters. He served as a vice-president of the New Zealand Homosexual Law Reform Society and as a patron of the Society for Promotion of Community Standards.
Gowing was the son-in-law of Thomas Sherwood Jones, a Bishop of Hulme, who in 1961 travelled from England (at the age of 89) to assist in Gowing's consecration.
# Richard Adams (British politician)

Captain Harold Richard Adams (8 October 1912 – 25 June 1978) was a British Labour politician who served as the Member of Parliament for Balham and Tooting from 1945 to 1950, and Wandsworth Central from 1950 to 1955.

## Early life and military career

Born on 8 October 1912, the son of A. Adams, he was educated at Emanuel School and studied at the University of London. He was a lecturer in Economics and Business Administration. He married twice, firstly to Joyce Love in 1938, with whom he had two daughters; the marriage was dissolved in 1955, and he married secondly to Peggy Fribbins in 1956.
He began his political career on Wandsworth borough council, where he was a member from 1938 to 1940, but this was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War. He joined the East Surrey Regiment in 1940, and saw service with the 25th Army Tank Brigade in North Africa and Italy, before ending the war serving on the staff in Land Forces Adriatic.

## Political career and later life

Having fought Canterbury in 1935, he was elected as the Labour Member of Parliament for Balham and Tooting, part of his home district of Wandsworth, in the 1945 general election. He was an assistant whip from 1947, and became a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury in 1949, a post he held until 1951.
Balham and Tooting was dissolved for the 1950 general election, and Adams stood in the redrawn Wandsworth Central constituency, succeeding Ernest Bevin as its Member of Parliament. He was re-elected for the same seat in the 1951 general election, but chose to stand down in the 1955 election, being succeeded in the now-marginal seat by the Conservative Michael Hughes-Young.
Adams died on 25 June 1978.

The People's Vanguard Party (Arabic: حزب الطليعة الشعبية) was a Ba'athist political party in Yemen. The party was established in the late 1950s. It was the Yemeni branch of the Baath Party. When the Baath Party was divided between Syrian and Iraqi factions, the Yemeni branch overwhelmingly sided with the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party. After the split, the Syrian-aligned Ba'athists 'Yemenized' their party and took the name People's Vanguard Party.
The members of the party were largely recruited from teachers, students and intellectuals. The party was based in Aden, and had limited presence outside the city. It had some presence in Hadhramaut for a brief period. The party was banned in North Yemen, where it was part of the National Democratic Front and took part in armed insurgency.
The party was one of two non-National Front (NF) parties tolerated during the early 1970s. In October 1975 it joined the NF-dominated United Political Organization of the National Front (which evolved into the Yemeni Socialist Party in 1978). The merger was ratified by the third PVP congress held in August 1975.
