# HMAS Parramatta (DE 46)

HMAS Parramatta (F05/DE 46), named for the Parramatta River, was a River-class destroyer escort (a licence-built Type 12 frigate) of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

## Construction

Parramatta was laid down by Cockatoo Island Dockyard at Sydney, New South Wales on 31 January 1957. She was launched on 31 January 1959 by Lady Dowling, wife of the First Naval Member and Chief of Naval Staff, and commissioned into the RAN on 14 July 1961.

## Operational history

Parramatta escorted Royal Yacht Britannia during the visit of Queen Elizabeth II in 1963.
The ship served on patrol duties during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation during the mid-1960s. On 3 June 1964, Parramatta and sister ship Yarra met the troop transport HMAS Sydney off the Philippines and escorted her to Kota Kinabalu, Singapore, and Penang to deliver Australian military units and supplies. Parramatta escorted the former aircraft carrier back to Fremantle: the return voyage to Australia was interrupted on the morning of 23 June by the detection of a suspected Indonesian submarine: the two Australian ships performed evasion tactics for eighteen hours before resuming the voyage. Other deployments were made during 1965 and 1966, with this service later recognised by the battle honour "Malaysia 1964–66".
During late May and early June 1965, Parramatta was one of several ships escorting Sydney on her first troop transport voyage to South Vietnam. Parramatta and Sydney worked together on the latter's tenth Vietnam voyage during March and April 1968. Parramatta's third escort run with Sydney occurred in May 1971; the former carrier's twentieth Vietnam voyage.
On 17 July 1976, Parramatta was en route to Singapore when she was diverted to Bali in response to the 1976 Bali earthquake.
Parramatta underwent a modernisation refit at Williamstown Naval Dockyard between 3 June 1977 and 26 August 1981, and visited the People's Republic of China in 1986.

## Decommissioning and fate

Parramatta' paid off on 11 January 1991. She was sold in August 1991, and broken up for scrap in Pakistan.
The ship's twin 4.5 inch Mark 6 gun turret, along with the captain's cabin from time of the ship's decommissioning, are preserved at the RAN Naval Heritage Collection Repository on Spectacle Island, Sydney.

# Cocker's Decimal Arithmetick

Cocker's Decimal Arithmetick is a grammar school mathematics textbook written by the English engraver and teacher Edward Cocker (1631–1676) and published posthumously by John Hawkins in 1684. Decimal Arithmetick along with the companion volume Cocker's Arithmetick, published in 1677, were used in schools in the United Kingdom for more than 150 years.
The concept of decimal fractions and the advantages of using them in calculations were well known, but a wide variety of different notations were in use. After surveying various notations, Decimal Arithmetick recommends the decimal point notation introduced by John Napier:
    A decimal fraction being written ... by having a point or prick prefixed before it ... being written according to the first direction, I conceive they may be most fit for calculation.
Decimal Arithmetick gives instructions for calculations involving decimals, methods of extracting roots, and an overview of the concept of logarithms. There are many worked examples, some of which involve solid geometry or the calculation of interest.
# Powidz, Greater Poland Voivodeship

Powidz (pronounced Povitz) is a village in Słupca County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Powidz. It lies approximately 14 kilometres (9 mi) north of Słupca and 68 km (42 mi) east of the regional capital Poznań.
Powidz gives its name to the protected area called Powidz Landscape Park.
From the summer of 2019, Powidz’ nearby 33rd Air Base will be the site of a depot and storage site for US Army combat vehicles in Poland. It will be mostly funded by NATO’s Security Investment Program, and cost around US$210m, with the USA’s component capped at around 20-25%. The US Army Corps of Engineers has made an industry solicitation in 2018 requesting tree-cutting services for 38 hectares (94 acres) around the base.

## History

Powidz was granted town rights in 1243 by Duke Bolesław the Pious. It was then part of the Duchy of Greater Poland of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Powidz was a royal town of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Gniezno County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. The town repelled Teutonic attacks in 1331 and 1454, and received numerous privileges from Polish kings. From the 15th century, Powidz was the seat of local starosts. In the 15th century, a school was created in Powidz, which was subordinate to the Kraków Academy (present-day Jagiellonian University), the oldest and leading university of Poland. The town suffered in the 17th century as a result of the epidemic and the Swedish invasion.
In 1793, as a result of the Second Partition of Poland, it was annexed by Prussia. After the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by Poles and included with the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw, and in 1815 it was re-annexed by Prussia. Many residents took part in the Kościuszko Uprising (1794), November Uprising (1830), Greater Poland uprising (1848) and January Uprising (1863), and actively opposed Germanisation attempts. In 1918 local Poles joined the Greater Poland uprising (1918–19), in a successful attempt to re-join Poland, which just regained independence.
During World War II, Powidz was under German occupation from 1939 to 1945. In late 1939 the Germans expelled 80 Poles, farm owners and activists along with their families, to the so-called General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland, and their houses were handed over to German colonists as part of the Heim ins Reich policy. The Polish resistance was active in Powidz. Józef Izbiński, commander of the local unit of the Union of Armed Struggle, and Ludwik Gruszka and Bolesław Purek, co-founders of the local unit of the Grey Ranks, were arrested by the Germans in 1942 and then sentenced to death and executed in Rawicz the following year.
A Polish Air Force base was built in Powidz after 1953.

# Brimpton Airfield

Brimpton (Wasing Lower Farm) Airfield is an unlicensed single-runway civilian airfield in the south-east of West Berkshire, United Kingdom.

## History

Close to RAF Greenham Common, the airfield was founded in the 1950s by Sir William Mount, a director at Miles Aircraft in Woodley, Berkshire. In the 1970s, the airfield was used by crop spraying contractors for local agriculture until 1979 when it was designated for public civilian use.
In the early 2000s, the strip was expanded with a taxiway and aircraft hangars. The runway was extended to 620 metres (2,030 ft).

## Location

Brimpton Airfield is due south of a point equidistant between the Berkshire towns of Reading and Newbury, in the gently ascending fields south of the A4 road. Due to the airfield's close proximity to the Atomic Weapons Establishment in nearby Aldermaston, an R101(2.4) restriction is in place for the surrounding airspace, requiring all circuits to be completed to the north of the runway. Within the R101 catchment, the airfield has special exemption from the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom (CAA).

## Incidents

On 14 February 2009 a pilot sustained injury in crashing their microlight within the airfield's perimeter. On 5 June 2016 a Tiger Moth crashed on takeoff and collided with 2 parked cars; a person on the ground was injured.

## In popular culture

Brimpton Airfield was used as the setting for Upshott Flying Club in the 2022 Slow Horses episode "From Upshott with Love".

# Egg Yolk Jubilee

Egg Yolk is known for unexpected musical juxtapositions, veering from traditional Dixieland to avant-garde prog-rock within a single performance or even a single song, leading one music writer to label them as "hard-to-describe yet consummately New Orleans." Known for antics such as throwing fake fried eggs at the audience, their musical style has been noted for its humor and intelligence, leading to critics to compare them to Frank Zappa and George Clinton. Band members have referred to their music as "heavy brass."
