# Geoff Millman

Geoffrey Millman (2 October 1934 – 6 April 2005) was an English cricketer who played in six Tests for England from 1961 to 1962.

## Life and career

Millman was born in Bedford, Bedfordshire, England and educated at Bedford Modern School. He was a good wicket-keeper, who came out of Minor Counties cricket with Bedfordshire, to become Nottinghamshire's regular keeper in 1957, and stayed for nine seasons. In a weak team that finished out of the bottom three of the County Championship only once in those nine years, Millman kept wicket to what was, almost invariably, the weakest county bowling attack of the period, and still managed to set county records. His 85 dismissals in 1961 was at the time the highest in a single season for Nottinghamshire.
Millman was also a useful right-handed batsman, scoring 1,000 runs in two seasons. In a county side where there were frequent personnel changes, he batted in most positions, often opening the innings. From 1963 to 1965 he was county captain, and in his first year, with the side buoyed by the newly acquired Brian Bolus, Nottinghamshire finished ninth. Two years later, though, they were back at the bottom and Millman resigned the captaincy and left first-class cricket, returning to Bedfordshire and his business interests.
Millman's Test match career was brief. In 1961–62, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) sent a somewhat unbalanced side, strong in batting but rather weak in bowling, on a four-month tour of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, then called Ceylon. Millman was picked as second wicketkeeper to John Murray, but Murray did not do well in the first three Tests against India. Millman, praised by Wisden for his "quiet efficiency", stepped in for the final two Indian Tests and, when Murray flew home for an operation on varicose veins after the first Test in Pakistan, returned for the last two matches in the series there as well.
He made enough of an impression to be picked for the first two home Tests against Pakistan in the 1962 season, before giving way to Murray for the rest of the series. Murray and Alan Smith were then picked for the 1962–63 Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) tour of Australia and New Zealand, and Millman's chance never came again.
In retirement, he ran the family jewellery business in Bedford. He died in his hometown in April 2005, aged 70.
# John Merrall

John Edwin Merrall (7 January 1909 – 5 October 1993) was an English cricketer. Merrall was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Shipley, Yorkshire.
Marrall made two first-class appearances for Surrey, both against Essex in 1931 and 1932, with both matches played at The Oval. He took a total of 6 wickets in his two appearances, which came at an average of 25.50, with best figures of 3/24. He played in the Minor Counties Championship for the Surrey Second XI from 1930 to 1933, making thirteen appearances. Playing for the second XI entitled him to be selected for the Minor Counties cricket team, with Merrall making a single first-class appearance for the team in 1934 against Oxford University at the University Parks. Incidentally he made no appearances for the Surrey Second XI in this season.
He died on the Isle of Man on 5 October 1993.
# Patrick Mermagen

Patrick Hassell Frederick Mermagen (8 May 1911, Colyton, Devon – 20 December 1984 Ipswich, Suffolk) was a public school teacher and cricketer who played eight first-class matches for Somerset in 1930.

## Life and career

Patrick Mermagen was educated at Sherborne School in Dorset, southern England, where he was in the same year group as Alan Turing and Christopher Morcom. All three were mathematically able. An outstanding batsman for Sherborne, Mermagen was picked to play for the Public Schools side in the annual match against The Army at Lord's on 6 and 7 August 1930. But after the Army had batted on the Wednesday, rain set in and the match was abandoned.
Somerset's three-day game with Essex from 6 to 8 August was affected even earlier by the weather, and no play was possible on the Wednesday and the Thursday: when it finally began on the Friday, Mermagen had been inserted into the Somerset side and batted at No 4. Mermagen retained his place in the Somerset side for the rest of the season without making much impact: his highest score was only 35 and that came in his last innings, when Somerset scored 545 for nine declared against Hampshire at Taunton. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler, though he bowled only five overs in first-class cricket, without success.
Mermagen went to Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1930 to study Mathematics, but did not play cricket for the university side. After graduating he spent six years as Assistant Master at Loretto School in Scotland, then served with the Royal Berkshire Regiment during World War II. After the war, he was Assistant Master at Radley College (1940–1950) and then headmaster of Ipswich School (1950–1972). Mermagen maintained contact with Alan Turing as a schoolmaster, via letter.
Patrick Mermagen died in 1984. He had married Neva Sonia James in 1934; they had a daughter and three sons, one of whom died in an air crash.
# Colin McManus (cricketer)

Colin Alan McManus (born 19 September 1943) is a former English cricketer. McManus was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Norwich, Norfolk.
McManus made his debut for Norfolk in the 1966 Minor Counties Championship against Staffordshire. McManus played Minor counties cricket for Norfolk from 1966 to 1975, which included 56 Minor Counties Championship matches. He made his List A debut for Norfolk against Cheshire in the 1968 Gillette Cup. In this match, he was dismissed for 16 runs by Arthur Sutton. He made a further List A for the county appearance against Yorkshire in the 1969 Gillette Cup. In this match, he was dismissed for 10 runs by Brian Close.
In 1975, he made a single List A appearance for Minor Counties North in the Benson & Hedges Cup against Yorkshire. In this match, McManus was dismissed for a single run by Arthur Robinson.
# Robert McIntosh (cricketer)

Robert Ian Fanshawe McIntosh (19 August 1907 – 21 March 1988) was an English cricketer born in Darjeeling, India. He was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium-fast.
McIntosh was educated at Uppingham School in Rutland, where he played for the school cricket team and for three years he was the mainstay of their bowling attack, captaining the side in 1926, a season in which he took 45 wickets at a bowling average of 11.45. He later went to University College, Oxford, where he played for the University Cricket Club, making his first-class debut in 1927 against the Harlequins. 1927 was also the year that McIntosh played his only first-class match for the West of England when they played the touring New Zealanders at the County Ground, Exeter; additionally in 1927 he also made three appearances for Devon in the Minor Counties Championship. From 1927 to 1929, McIntosh made 21 first-class appearances for Oxford University, playing his final match for them against Surrey.
McIntosh received his Oxford Blue in his first year of 1927, thanks largely to an injury to Walter McBride, and in 1928. Poor health and having to bowl on over-prepared wickets which led to a poor bowling season for him in 1929 ruled him out of contention for a Blue in that year. A bowler, he took 62 wickets in total for the University. These came at an average of 34.33 and included two five wicket hauls, with best figures of 5/52.
McIntosh later returned to the British Raj, where he played a single first-class match each for the Europeans (India) against the Indians and for Madras against the Marylebone Cricket Club, both in 1934. He died in Budleigh Salterton, Devon on 21 March 1988.
# Maurice McCanlis

Maurice Alfred McCanlis (17 June 1906 – 27 September 1991) was an English sportsman who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and represented England at rugby union.
Educated at Cranleigh School and St Edmund Hall, Oxford, McCanlis bowled right-arm medium pace and was noted for his out swinging deliveries to right-handers. Most of his first-class matches were with Oxford University and he captained them in the 1928 University Match. He also played two matches for Surrey and one for Gloucestershire during his career.
He was capped twice for the England national rugby union team in the 1931 Five Nations Championship, appearing in their games against Ireland and Wales. He played mainly as a three-quarter and also represented Gloucester and Oxford.
In 1938 and 1940 he made a return to cricket with a couple of Ranji Trophy appearances for Rajputana while he was in India on a teaching job. From 1932 to 1966, McCanlis was a teacher at Cheltenham College.

# Langdon Beck

Langdon Beck is a hamlet in the civil parish of Forest and Frith, in County Durham, England. It is situated in upper Teesdale, between Forest-in-Teesdale and Harwood, halfway between Penrith and Durham. It is a stronghold for the black grouse, one of the few sites for them in the North of England.

## History

Historically, Langdon Beck hosted one of the largest agricultural shows in North Teesdale. However the shows abruptly stopped in the early 20th century for an unknown reason. In 2000, they were revived as an annual event. Prizes were traditionally awarded by John Vane, 11th Baron Barnard until his death in 2016. The newly revived event has taken place annually except in 2001 due to the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak. During the outbreak, there was concern that Langdon Beck's only hostel could close due to lack of tourism. It received a grant of £1,000 from Teesdale District Council for solar power with extra funding from Durham County Council. Langdon Beck's War Memorial to soldiers from the village who fought in the First World War is located at St James the Less Church.
Langdon Beck has a geological feature called Cronkley Scar, which is a Whin Sill boulder scree formed from molten magma pushing up marble through igneous rock over millions of years. Langdon Beck is used as the base of a start of several hiking trails. The hamlet features the only major concentration of black grouse in England. Climbing the fells during winter is viewed as hazardous when there is snow on the ground.
# Cristina Recalde

# Aldbrough St John

Aldbrough St John is a village and civil parish (called just Aldbrough) in North Yorkshire, England. The parish has a population of 325 (2001 census), increasing to 392 at the 2011 Census.

## History

In the Norse language Aldbrough means "Old Burh" or fortified stronghold. The St John suffix was added to the name in the 1930s by the Post Office to avoid confusion with the Aldborough near Boroughbridge.
At one time Aldbrough St John had a "small castle". We know this from John Leland's account in 1540 that "There appere great ruines of a howse or litle castel at Albruch village, and thereby rennith a bekke. It standith a 2 mile south from Perse Bridg on Tese". Perse Bridg is now called Piercebridge 2 miles north of Aldbrough referred to above as Albruch.
The village is 6 miles (9 km) west of Darlington, 7 miles (12 km) north of Richmond and 2 miles (3 km) north of junction 56 on the A1(M) motorway. The road north from junction 56 of the A1(M) is part of Dere Street and runs up to Piercebridge and beyond. Because of its proximity to the Roman Road in the east, the A66 (former Roman Road) to the south and the River Tees to the north, suggestions of Romano-British settlements persist around the village.
When the Duchess of Northumberland came to live in the village in the 1865, she had many of the old properties removed and the stone used to build new houses. It is generally accepted that any castle remains were also removed at this time. The foundations of this building were recently found by local historians Ian Wardle, Grant Rowley and David Shires in what is believed to have been the "burh" oval. A property of this type within the village is thought by Ian Wardle to be the reason why Aldbrough not only remained but increased in value in Norman times when all villages around were sacked and burned. He believes that Aldbrough was at the centre of the lands occupied by the local lord so may have been spared. Eleanor also funded the construction of St Paul's Church, which was completed in 1890.
Quarries at the south-western edge of the village supplied a red limestone, which was used for buildings in Richmond, Aldbrough St John, Forcett, Stanwick St John and East Layton. The church in Aldbrough St John is constructed of this stone.
A packhorse bridge crosses Aldbrough Beck near Aldborough and is grade II listed.
# 53P/Van Biesbroeck

53P/Van Biesbroeck is a periodic comet 7 km in diameter. Its current orbital period is 12.53 years.
The comet was discovered by George Van Biesbroeck of Yerkes Observatory on 1 September 1954 while searching for the asteroid 1953 GC. The comet had an estimated apparent magnitude of 14.5 and appeared well condensed. The comet was then 1.85 AU from Earth and 2.86 AU from the Sun and had passed from its perigee, which took place on 17 August 1954. The comet was followed until 13 November 1955.
This comet and 42P/Neujmin are fragments of a parent comet that split around March 1845. The orbit of 53P/Van Biesbroeck has a Jupiter Minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) of only 0.009 AU (1,300,000 km; 840,000 mi). The next perihelion passage is on Christmas Eve 24 December 2028. The comet is expected to brighten to about apparent magnitude 14.
The nucleus of the comet has a radius of 3.33–3.37 kilometers based on observations by Keck.
# Royal Seating Day

Royal Seating Day (Arabic: عيد الجلوس الملكي, romanized: ʿīd al-julūs al-malakī) was the national accession day observed in the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd from 1930 to 1931, and later in Saudi Arabia from 1934 to 1963, commemorating the pledge of allegiance and anniversary of the succession to the country's throne by the hereditary sovereign. It was observed on 8 January and 12 November throughout the rule of King Abdulalziz ibn Saud and his successor King Saud bin Abdulalziz respectively. The celebrations were officially abrogated in 1965 when King Faisal bin Abdulaziz replaced it with the Saudi National Day that commemorated the country’s 1932 declaration of unification, but at the same time letting its successor to retain the year count of 1930 instead of 1932.

## Overview

In December 1925, with the successful takeover of Mecca, almost 24 years of military campaign by Abdulaziz ibn Saud to unite the Arabian Peninsula under a single polity comes to an end when he finally conquers the region of Hejaz which was then ruled by the Hashemite Sharifain family. On 8 January 1926, Abdulaziz was crowned as the ruler of Hejaz in the Grand Mosque compound in Mecca, thereby establishing the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz.
In December 1926, the Consultative Assembly sent a petition before King Abdulaziz, requesting to designate the day of his crowning as Hejaz's ruler in January 1926 as a national day. However, it was rejected by Abdulaziz and almost two years later, in February 1929, the Consultative Assembly again resubmitted the petition with more backing and was finally granted royal assent in September 1929.
In 1931, some conservative Wahhabi Muslim clerics from Najd objected to the observance of the Royal Seating Day as they regarded the celebration of non-religious festivals as an innovation and imitation of the disbelievers. As a result, the celebrations were cancelled in 1932 and 1933, also because it overlapped with the Islamic month of Ramadan. However, celebrations continued from 1934 in the aftermath of the establishment of Saudi Arabia and lasted until the death of Abdulaziz in 1953.
In 1953, Saud bin Abdulaziz was crowned as the new monarch of Saudi Arabia upon the death of Abdulaziz. Three days later, he visited Mecca on 12 November 1953 and received the pledge of allegiance from local tribal leaders in the Grand Mosque compound. Saud designated November 12 to be the new ascension day from 1954.
In November 1964, Saud bin Abdulaziz stepped down from the position of king, paving the way for his brother Faisal bin Abdulaziz to become the new ruler. In August 1965, three months before his accession anniversary, King Faisal issued a royal decree that made 23 September the new national day in order to commemorate the day on which the official unification of Saudi Arabia took place in 1932.

# Margot Dorenfeldt

Margot Dorenfeldt (1895–1986) was the first woman to graduate from Norwegian Institute of Technology (1919) and specialized in inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry. She published several papers in radiochemistry.

## Biography

She was the daughter of Lauritz J. Dorenfeldt (1863–1932), an engineer who was educated in Berlin, and the granddaughter of businessman Lauritz Dorenfeldt Jenssen (1837–1899). Her mother was Aagot Bødtker (1869–1963). Margot was born 2 October 1895 in Worms, Germany, when her family was there; her father was working on assignment as technical director of a cellulose factory.
Margot Dorenfeldt was the second woman to enroll at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) after Aslaug Urbye (who enrolled in 1910, but never completed her studies). In 1919, Dorenfeldt became the first woman to graduate from NTH. While in college, she was active in student debates and made critical comments about her fellow engineers and their record of participation in social politics.

### Career

Dorenfeldt found her first job in 1920 as an assistant at the chemistry laboratory at Royal Frederick University (now University of Oslo). A few months later, she was promoted to a secretary-like position, from which she could perform research and teach. Soon she was investigating the atomic weight of chlorine while working with the radiochemist and associate professor Ellen Gleditsch, who had previously worked with Marie Curie in Paris. Dorenfeldt helped publish their results in English, German and French.
In 1922, the university granted Dorenfeldt a scholarship so she could study at the Collège de France in Paris. While there she met and married a fellow Norwegian and changed her name to Margot Dorenfeldt Holtan. She published research using her married name as well as her maiden name.
As a wife and mother of two, Margot attended to her family but continued working in the field as a part-time secretary and chemist and, according to her own records, she also published scientific work with her husband. Throughout her life, she remained close to her father and his business interests and she took a government position in 1946 and then became an association board member from which she could help protect the interests of his pulp and paper businesses.

### Personal life

She was married on 23 February 1923 in Paris to Norwegian engineer Eugen Nannestad Holtan (1893–1959).
