# Sunday Lecture Society

The Sunday Lecture Society was a British-based society that gave a number of influential lectures on Sundays. The first incarnation of the society met at St. George's Hall, Langham Place for members to hear lectures on arts, history, science and literature. It was formed in November 1869 by solicitor William Henry Domville. The society came about because during November 1865, the National Sunday League (NSL) held a series of lectures for the general public entitled "Sunday Evenings for the People". This was fiercely opposed by the Lord's Day Observance Society (LDOS), which had the lectures cancelled after only four had been given. This was done by threatening the management of St Martin's Hall with legal action, as lectures on a Sunday were forbidden under the Sunday Observance Act 1780. In the aftermath, it was sometime later that the Sunday Lecture Society was formed, replacing the NSL.
The vice presidents included Thomas Henry Huxley, Herbert Spencer, William Spottiswoode, John Tyndall, and Charles Darwin. Gerald Parsons notes that "Huxley also presided over the organisational meeting, although he declined to serve as president in 1884 while holding the same office in the Royal Society."
The Sunday Lecture Society soon branched out to Tynedale, and established itself in Leeds where it held meetings at the Coliseum Theatre, situated at Cookridge Street. In 1894 the LDOS forced the prosecution of the Leeds branch of the Sunday Lecture Society under the Sunday Observance Act, leading to the fining of two members of the Society, Alderman Ward and Mr. Gavazzi King, as well as the proprietor of the Coliseum, a Mr. Wilson. The Sunday Lecture Society later had this verdict overturned on appeal, and the actions of the LDOS were dismissed with costs. John Wigley, writing about this in his book The rise and fall of the Victorian Sunday, says he considers this to have been a "tactical blunder" because after the prosecution another group, the Sunday Society, formed a National Association of Sunday Societies in order to better defend themselves. Furthermore, the prosecution galvanised one of the Sunday Lecture Society's members, Lord Hobhouse, to put forward a Sunday Bill to the House of Lords, where on its second reading it was put to committee. Wigley says that the Sabbatarians did not "make a good impression, rather letting down their side". Nonetheless the bill was not enacted, and a second Sunday Bill introduced by Hobhouse in 1897 also failed.

# Knee Deep

"Knee Deep" is a song recorded by American country music group Zac Brown Band with Jimmy Buffett. It was released in May 2011 as the third single from the Zac Brown Band's second major-label album, 2010's You Get What You Give. It reached number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for one week in August 2011. The song is about laying back and having no worries (some of the lyrics are: "Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.")

## Background and writing

Wyatt Durrette, the co-writer of "Knee Deep", told the website Taste of Country that he has been a longtime fan of Jimmy Buffett and that he wanted to write a beach-themed song. He based the first verse on a romantic breakup. Durrette brought the song to Brown, who helped him complete the second verse and melody. After neither of them could come up with a bridge, they in turn brought the song to Jeffrey Steele, who helped them complete it.

## Critical reception

Steve Morse of the Boston Globe called "Knee Deep" "festive" and a "highlight" of the album. Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips said that the song was "happy-go-lucky" but "sounds like a derivation of the band's own hit "Toes". Eric R. Danton of the Hartford Courant called it "exactly the kind of song you'd expect to hear Jimmy Buffett sing, but with more mandolin". Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a B+ rating, saying that the song "lacks spunk but radiates the same sea-breezy blissfulness" as "Toes".

## Music video

The music video of "Knee Deep" was directed by Darren Doane. It was filmed in Careyes in Jalisco, Mexico, and features actress Juliette Lewis.

## Charts and certifications

"Knee Deep" debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at number 73 the week ending May 28, 2011. The song kept ascending and fell twice before reaching a final peak of number 18 the week ending August 6, 2011. The song was last seen in its 20th week on the chart at number 62, before being moved to recurrent status. More than two months later, "Knee Deep" was ranked by Billboard as the 80th most popular song of 2011 in the year-end singles chart. "Colder Weather" is also on the year-end chart, giving the Zac Brown Band a total of 4 year-end singles, with "Knee Deep" narrowly the highest. The song remains the Zac Brown Band's biggest hit to date. It was also Buffett's third year-end single in 34 years.

# Charlie Collier

Charles Richard Collier (1885–1954) of Plumstead, London, was a British motorcycle racer famous for winning Isle of Man TT races twice in his career. After competing in the 1906 International Cup Races on the European continent, Charlie Collier became the first Isle of Man TT race winner in 1907.
Along with his brother Harry he raced Matchless motorcycles manufactured by his father's company, H.Collier & Sons.
After setting a number of world motorcycle records on Matchless machines, Charlie Collier won another Isle of Man TT race in 1910 and later became the first competitor to be disqualified from a race for illegal refuelling. Charlie Collier later became a joint managing director of AJS and Matchless motorcycles and died in 1954.

## Racing career

First race was in 1902 at the 3½ mile Canning Town cycling track riding a Matchless motorcycle with an MMC engine. After leading until the last lap, a burst tyre caused a crash and Charlie Collier suffered friction abrasions. In 1905, along with his brother Harry Collier participated in the eliminating trial for the International Motor Cycle Cup held in the Isle of Man. Held on a 25-mile section of the Gordon Bennett Trial course, the event was won by J.S.Campbell. Although Harry Collier managed to qualify, the Matchless motorcycle with a JAP engine which Charlie Collier had specially built suffered a broken connecting-rod and was forced to retire.
After racing in the 1906 International Cup, both Charlie Collier and his brother Harry were unhappy with the relatively low imposed weight limit of 110 lbs, causing sacrifices in frame and tyre strength to be made to compensate for the heavy engines.
They entered a new motorcycle event in the Isle of Man in 1907 for road-touring motorcycles. The new race was to be held on the St John's Short Course with two categories for single and twin-cylinder engines. The 1907 Isle of Man TT race single cylinder-class was won by Charlie Collier riding a Matchless in 4 hours, 8 minutes and 8 seconds at an average race speed of 38.21 mph. His brother Harry Collier, also riding a Matchless, had problems with an engine seizure on lap 2 and eventually retired on lap 9.

# Whittenton Pond Dam

Whittenton Pond Dam or Whittenton Street Dam was a private earthen dam across the Mill River in Taunton, Massachusetts.
Built in 1832, the original dam was a half-mile upstream from downtown Taunton. It was 12 feet high and constructed of timber. It was built of wood in 1832, and flooded Taunton when it failed in 1968.
The dam was purchased during the summer of 2005 by Infinity Holdings, a real-estate development company in the Boston area.
Historically heavy and protracted rains fell on New England beginning October 12, 2005. On the morning of Sunday, October 16, officials realized that the dam was in trouble. The dam was determined to be in imminent danger of failure and of flooding Taunton with a 6-foot (1.8 m) wall of water. On Tuesday, 2,000 residents of the city were evacuated and twenty-one troops from the National Guard were stationed in Taunton. School in Taunton was cancelled, and several roads were closed. Several high-volume pumps were employed to divert water around the dam and drain Whittenton Pond before a catastrophic failure could occur.
Though the wooden dam held, later inspections uncovered extensive structural damage. (The Commonwealth of Massachusetts had last inspected the dam for safety and structural integrity in 2003.) After Whittenton Pond was drained, the old dam was demolished, and a new compressed earth and rock dam was built in its place.
In 2008, the Whittenton Pond Dam was part of a study by the Massachusetts Riverways Program to review the feasibility of dam removals along the Mill River.
The dam was permanently removed in 2013.
