# Action of 29 April 1758

The action of 29 April 1758 was a naval engagement fought in the Bay of Biscay near Brest between a British Royal Navy squadron and a single French Navy ship of the line during the Seven Years' War. In an attempt to support the garrison of Louisbourg, who were facing an impending siege, the French Atlantic Fleet sent a number of squadrons and ships to sea during the spring of 1758. To intercept these ships, Royal Navy squadrons maintained a close blockade of their main port at Brest. In April a British squadron including HMS Intrepid, HMS Dorsetshire and HMS Achilles was cruising off the French Biscay Coast when a lone sail was sighted to the southwest. Dorsetshire, commanded by Captain Peter Denis was sent to investigate, discovering the ship to be the French ship of the line Raisonnable sailing to Louisbourg. In a fierce battle, Dorsetshire managed to inflict heavy casualties on the French ship and force her captain, Louis-Armand-Constantin de Rohan, to surrender.

## Action

In 1758 the British Royal Navy Channel Fleet and the French Navy Atlantic Fleet were contesting control of the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic Ocean during the Seven Years' War, which had broken out between Britain and France in 1755 over colonial dominance in North America. For the French Navy the priority was maintaining their lines of supply to the major French Canadian fortress of Louisbourg, which was soon to fall under siege. To support the city, the French Atlantic Fleet sent squadrons and single ships into the Atlantic to bring supplies and reinforcements to the garrison and the Royal Navy in turn deployed forces to intercept these missions.
One squadron deployed in close blockade at Brest in April 1758 was commanded by Captain Edward Pratten in HMS Intrepid. On 19 April, a sail was sighted to the southwest and Pratten detached the 70-gun HMS Dorsetshire under Captain Peter Denis to investigate. The ship proved to be the 64-gun French ship of the line Raisonnable under Captain Louis-Armand-Constantin de Rohan, Chevalier de Rohan and Prince de Montbazon. Realising the strength of the French ship, Pratten subsequently detached the 60-gun HMS Achilles under Captain Samuel Barrington to support Dorsetshire.
Before Achilles could arrive, Denis succeeded in bringing Dorsetshire alongside the French ship and in a fierce broadside engagement successfully forcing Rohan to strike his colours. Barrington's ship only arrived in range in the final minutes, confirming the French surrender. French casualties were heavy, with 61 killed and 100 wounded, while losses on Dorsetshire numbered 15 killed and 21 wounded, one of whom subsequently died. Raisonnable was subsequently repaired and commissioned into the Royal Navy under the same name, serving until she was accidentally wrecked at Martinique in February 1762. The Siege of Louisbourg went ahead in June 1758, and the city fell the following month, blockaded from reinforcement by the Royal Navy.
# The Great Defector

"The Great Defector" is the lead single from Bell X1's fourth studio album Blue Lights on the Runway.
The single was released in Ireland on 30 January 2009 and internationally on 3 February 2009. It was selected as Tony's Daily Download by Today FM presenter Tony Fenton on 16 January 2009 before its release. Upon its release it reached number three in the Irish Singles Chart. It reached number one in the airplay charts and the band went on to feature on the cover of Hot Press the following month.
It was Bell X1's most successful single at the time of its release.

## Composition and recording

Vocalist Paul Noonan has compared the song's style to that of Talking Heads. The song was recorded in November 2008 in Ballycumber House, "a big, draughty, stately home... ...under the beady gaze of musty portraits of the Lords and Ladies of the estate from the 15th century". Jim Farber of the New York Daily News has praised Noonan's "flair for dialogue and his keen way with a metaphor", claiming "his cruel writing will make you swoon". "The Great Defector" was given its debut live performance on 11 July 2008 during Oxegen 2008 .

## Reception

The song has been widely praised in the Irish media; amongst its fans are Today FM presenter Tony Fenton and RTÉ's radio presenter and television chat show host Ryan Tubridy, who has described it as his "favourite hit of the year". A US disc jockey said it reminded him of "late period Talking Heads". Irish Independent journalist Eamon Sweeney described it as "an extremely Talking Headish song, but also happens to the best thing on the airwaves at the moment". The song was credited with a renewed surge in demand for tickets to the band's live shows.

## Television performances

Following its release, Bell X1 performed "The Great Defector" on Tubridy Tonight on 21 February 2009. They performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman on 17 March 2009.

# Ambrogio Maestri

Ambrogio Maestri (born 1970) is an Italian operatic baritone. He is especially known for his portrayal of the title character in Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff. He studied piano and singing in his home town, Pavia. In Italy he has performed at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Teatro Regio in Parma, Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, Teatro Regio in Turin, Teatro Verdi in Trieste and the Arena di Verona. Abroad he has performed at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Nacional de São Carlos in Lisbon, the Royal Opera House in London, the Teatro Real in Madrid, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, San Francisco Opera House, the Konzerthaus and the Staatsoper in Vienna, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona and others.
He presents as a powerful, robust man on stage. Gramophone has described him as Italy's answer to Bryn Terfel, "fresh-voiced [and] emotionally sympathetic."
He has been critically praised by the likes of Riccardo Muti. Edward Seckerson of The Independent said of his performance as Falstaff at the Royal Opera House of London that he is "wonderfully real, animating all aspects of the text and making great play of the innate contradiction between a booming, boorish, authority and those mellifluous remnants of wily old airs and graces."
One of his earliest roles was Monterone in Rigoletto, in 1999; he was cast by then-director Placido Domingo at the Washington National Opera. In 2003 he played Rolando in La battaglia di Legnano at the Teatro di San Carlo. In 2012 he played the role of Dr Dulcamara in Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore in Vienna, and at the Metropolitan Opera in September and October alongside Anna Netrebko. In December 2013 he gave his 200th performance of Falstaff in a new production by the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
He appears in complete opera streaming videos of Falstaff, L'elisir d'amore, and Adriana Lecouvreur at Met Opera on Demand.
Besides his involvement in opera, he is known for his published recipes for Italian food (particularly risottos), and for his cooking videos (some of which are posted to YouTube.)

# Mark Richardson (ice hockey)

Mark Richardson (born 3 October 1986) is a British professional ice hockey player currently signed to and captain of the Cardiff Devils of the UK's EIHL. Richardson also plays internationally for Great Britain, reaching 100 caps at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. He is the younger brother of Lee Richardson who also played ice hockey at a professional level.
Richardson began his career with his hometown team the Swindon Lynx. In 2003, Richardson moved to the Bracknell Bees in a two-year spell. Richardson's good performances during the 2004–05 season, which included nine goals and 18 assists for 27 points, saw him move to the Elite League for the Cardiff Devils. His first season of 10 points in 30 games was impressive for an Elite League rookie, but his second season saw him collect 33 points, including 24 assists in 54 games.
Richardson moved to the Nottingham Panthers in 2007, in what was a slightly disappointing season for him, but still managed to collect 20 points in 46 games. In 2008, Richardson signed with the Basingstoke Bison. Shortly after the end of the 2008–09 season, with Basingstoke dropping out of the Elite League, Richardson re-signed for the Cardiff Devils as a defenceman.
He moved briefly to Kazakhstan to sign for Arlan Kokshetau before re-joining Cardiff in 2012. He remained with Cardiff until 2020 but left the Elite League side over ongoing uncertainty about whether the 2020-21 Elite League season would go ahead.
On 8 September 2020, Richardson moved abroad for a second time, signing a one-year deal with German DEL2 team EC Bad Nauheim. The expectation is Richardson will return to Cardiff in 2021.
In July 2021, the Cardiff Devils announced Richardson had signed terms for the 2021–22 season. He was named Cardiff captain in August 2021.

# Thomas Hussey (Aylesbury MP)

Thomas Hussey (1749–1824), of Rathkenny, County Meath and Fulmer, Buckinghamshire, was an English politician.
He married Mary Walpole, daughter of Horatio Walpole, 2nd Baron Walpole.

## Career

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Aylesbury 14 February 1809 - November 1814.
# Thomas Hackett (British politician)

Thomas Hackett (14 June 1869 – 9 May 1950) was a British co-operative activist and politician.
Born in Smethwick, Hackett left school at the age of thirteen and completed an apprenticeship in engineering. In 1892, he began working at Cadbury's, when he was promoted to night foreman, and then works foreman. He also joined the Ten Acres and Stirchley Co-operative Society, becoming a director in 1894, and served as president from 1923-1946.
Hackett joined the Labour Party, and was elected to Birmingham City Council in 1913, representing Rotton Park. He registered as a conscientious objector during World War I, which his opponents made a central issue when he stood at the 1918 general election. He contested Birmingham King's Norton for the Birmingham and District Co-operative Representation Council, and with the support of the Labour Party. He finished in second place with a 35.8% share of the vote. The council subsequently became the Birmingham branch of the Co-operative Party, and Hackett chaired the branch for four years from 1919.

In his spare time, he was a tutor for the Workers' Educational Association, and chairman and founder of the Brynmawr and Clydach Valley Industries (Public Utility Society).
# Thomas Johnson (designer)

Thomas Johnson (1714–1778) was an English wood carver and furniture maker.

## Work

Johnson worked in London and is particularly known for bold or extreme use and mixture of rococo, Chinese, and rustic motifs. He was said to be one of the most successful exponents of the rococo style, giving it a vitality not seen in the work of other designers. Among other works, he adapted scenes from Francis Barlow's illustrations of Aesop's Fables.
Of excellent repute as a craftsman and an artist in wood, Johnson's original conceptions and his adaptations of other's ideas were remarkable for their extreme flamboyance, and for the merciless manner in which he overloaded them with thin and meretricious ornament. He participated in the Antigallican Association, an informal group opposed to French fashion and influence. Some of his designs, however, were taken from French works. Many of his pieces were also more fanciful expression of Thomas Chippendale's design ideas.
The three leading "motives" of the time—Chinese, Gothic and Louis Quatorze—were mixed up in his work in the most amazing manner; and he was exceedingly fond of introducing human figures, animals, birds and fishes in highly incongruous places. He appears to have defended his enormities on the ground that "all men vary in opinion, and a fault in the eye of one may be a beauty in that of another; 'tis a duty incumbent on an author to endeavour at pleasing every taste."

## Books

In the 1750s he published several books of designs which were widely used for things like ceiling moulding. These books include Twelve Girandoles in 1755, The Book of the Carver in 1758, a folio volume of Designs for Picture Frames, Candelabra, Ceilings, &c. also in 1758 and monthly between 1755 and 1758, One hundred and fifty New Designs. He also had a great influence on Ince and Mayhew's book, The Universal System of Household Furniture.
