Sutcliffe, great-granddaughter of Robert Fulton. Fulton was commissioned on 12 September 1941. The basic hull and superstructure for this class was the same as the Dixie-class destroyer tenders and Vulcan-class repair ships.

# TacOps

TacOps is a turn-based wargame originally released in 1994. The game, developed by Major I.L. Holdridge, USMC (ret), details modern, hypothetical combat between U.S. troops versus the OPFOR who are armed with various equipment from across the globe. Later additions added units for the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand armies, and the US Marines.
The game is noted for its encyclopedic array of modern arms and units, and the detailing of the combat.

## Gameplay

Instead of typical hex or square based movement, the forces move around without a grid. Players take turns giving orders and then watching the battles unfold on the map. Also, players cannot directly control where their troops fire, but rather control parameters such as fire zones, and range of engagement. The game is considered very realistic, and includes a database with information and photos for all of the units in the game.
Game play is divided into two phases. In the order phase time does not pass in the game and orders can be entered. During a combat phase these orders are executed and the player can only watch the results as 60 seconds of game time passes.

### Order phase

During the order phase of a turn, when a player clicks on a unit its Order Box comes up. The player can order where the unit moves and, among other options, where it faces, whether it is exposed, and fire sector orders (with varying priorities).

### Combat phase

After a player is satisfied with the orders they have given, they may move on to the combat phase. A combat phase represents 60 seconds, and is typically divided into four 15-second segments in which units fire and move.

## Reception

TacOps was a runner-up for Computer Game Entertainment's 1996 "Best War Game" prize, which ultimately went to Tigers on the Prowl 2. The editors summarized TacOps as "excellent".
# Rhodope (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Rhodope (Ancient Greek: Ῥοδόπη) may refer to two different characters:
* Rhodope, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys. She was one of the playmates of Persephone in the meadows of Sicily when the latter was abducted by her uncle Hades to be his queen in the underworld.
* Rhodope, a queen of Thrace and the wife of King Haemus. The latter was vain and haughty and compared himself and Rhodope to Zeus and Hera, who were offended and changed the couple into mountains (the Balkan mountains and Rhodope mountains, respectively). This Rhodope may be one who was called the daughter of Strymon who consorted with Poseidon and became the mother of Athos. In another account, she was said to have coupled with Apollo and bore to him Cicon, eponym of the Cicones.

# Cecil Boutflower

Cecil Henry Boutflower /ˈboʊflaʊər/ (15 August 1863 – 19 March 1942) was an Anglican bishop who served both at home and abroad.
He was born at Brathay, Windermere, into a distinguished clerical family, the fourth son of The Ven Samuel Peach Boutflower, Archdeacon of Carlisle, by his second wife, Margaret Redmayne, daughter of Giles Redmayne of Brathay Hall and sister of George Tunstal Redmayne. His elder half-brother The Rev Douglas Samuel Boutflower was Rural Dean of Easington. He was educated at Uppingham and Christ Church, Oxford. Ordained in 1887, he began his career with a curacy at St Mary, South Shields and was then successively Chaplain to the Bishop of Durham, Vicar (then Archdeacon) of Barrow-in-Furness before ascending to the episcopate, where he was to serve in three posts until retirement.
In 1904, George Sumner, Bishop suffragan of Guildford in the Diocese of Winchester was ageing but not fully retired, so a new suffragan See of Dorking was erected and Boutflower was appointed Bishop of Dorking early the next year; He was consecrated a bishop by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, in Westminster Abbey on the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul (25 January) 1905. His appointment as the only bishop of Dorking was, functionally, an interruption in the See of Guildford; Boutflower took on suffragan duties in the north of the diocese. When Boutflower departed England for missionary duty in Japan at the start of 1909 (or very end of 1908), Sumner was persuaded to resign the See and John Randolph was appointed Bishop of Guildford, succeeding Boutflower in duties and Sumner in the see.
He served in Japan as bishop in South Tokyo until he was appointed again as a suffragan for the Winchester, this time Bishop of Southampton. That See was resigned by his predecessor on 30 April 1921; Boutflower had recently returned to England and held the See by Ascension Day (5 May). He had returned to England in ill-health, held a canonry at Winchester Cathedral with his See; and eventually retired effective 30 September 1933, having been in ill health again for at least seven months prior.
A staunch advocate of missionary service, he married late in life, in 1933, to Joyce Segar, daughter of Halsall Segar, a priest.

# Isaac McDowell

Isaac McCandlish McDowell was a Scottish footballer and football manager who played as an inside-right for Dunoon Athletic, Glasgow Perthshire, Airdrieonians, Dumbarton, King's Park, Cowdenbeath, Port Vale, Coleraine, Linfield, and Ards. He later managed Ards, Linfield and Glentoran.

## Playing career

McDowell played for Dunoon Athletic, Glasgow Perthshire, Airdrieonians, Dumbarton, King's Park, and Cowdenbeath, before he joined English club Port Vale – initially as a guest player during World War II – in October 1944. He made his debut in a 4–1 defeat to Leicester City at Filbert Street in a Football League North match on 21 October. He became a regular in the first team and scored eight goals in 36 wartime matches and three goals in four FA Cup games before he departed in January 1946 after being "directed to undertake essential work in Scotland".

## Management career

McDowell managed Ards from 1951 to 1953. He managed Linfield from 1960 to 1962. He led the club to seven trophies in the 1961–62 season: the Irish League championship, Irish Cup, County Antrim Shield, Gold Cup, City Cup, Ulster Cup, and the North-South Cup. They could have won an eighth trophy, but failed to win the Irish Intermediate Cup. They had finished level on points with Portadown in the league. Still, they beat Portadown 3–1 in a play-off match to claim the title. Forward Bobby Braithwaite later recalled that "Isaac McDowell kept us focused on each game and I recall that it was only after Portadown drew with the Glens [Glentoran] to set up a play-off match for the title that we realised what we could possibly achieve". They won the County Antrim Shield by beating Glentoran 5–0 in the final. McDowell went on to manage Glentoran from 1962 to 1964. In December 2006, the Belfast Telegraph reported that he died in South Africa "a few years ago".

# Château d'Usson

The Château d'Usson (en Occitan: Castèl de So) is one of the so-called Cathar castles in what is now southwestern France. It is located in the commune of Rouze, in the Ariège département. It is sited upstream from Axat, along the Aude river gorge, carved out of the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is situated at an altitude of 920 metres (3,020 ft) and dominates the valley of the Aude. The Château de Puilaurens is 30 kilometres (19 mi) away, Château de Puivert 49 kilometres (30 mi) and Château de Quéribus 60 kilometres (37 mi).

## History

The castle dates from the 11th century (perhaps earlier) and during the Cathar period marked the eastern boundary of the territories of the Counts of Foix. In the 12th century, this was the capital of the Donézan region. Before the défilé was cut through the mountains to link Quillan to Axat, this was an inaccessible outpost providing succour for faidits and other persecuted Cathars. The Cathar bishop of Toulouse Guilhabert de Castres is known to have taken refuge here.
Towards the end of the wars against the Cathars this was one of their last sanctuaries, providing support for Montségur. The seigneurs of Usson, Bernard d'Alion, lord of the Château de Montaillou, and his brother Arnaud d'Usson sent arms and supplies to their besieged comrades there. On 15 March 1244, the day before 225 Cathar parfaits were burned alive at Montségur, four other parfaits left the castle there for Usson, where the Cathar treasure had been evacuated a few months earlier. This mystery has fed a number of theories about the equally mysterious treasure supposedly found at Rennes-le-Château in the 19th century.
Bernard d'Alion was burned alive at Perpignan in 1258. The castle was rebuilt as a French border fortress, and given by Louis XIV to the new Marquis d'Usson. Like other seigneurial residences it was sold as communal property at the French Revolution, after which time it was used as a stone quarry.
Not far away is the Château de Donézan, where Cathars were still holding out eleven years after the fall of Montségur.
Château d'Usson is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
On display at the castle are parts of the wreckage of a Second World War British Dakota transport aircraft which crashed on 5 December 1944 on a nearby mountain with the loss of seventeen lives.
