# Henry Scharbau

Henry Scharbau (1822–1902), or Henry Sharbau, was a British cartographer.

## Biography

Scharbau was born at Lübeck in North Germany in 1822, but came to England in his youth. Due to his skills in surveying and draughtsmanship, firstly in work on the Ordnance Survey of the south of Scotland, and between 1858 and 1864 in the Admiralty Surveys in the Hebrides and some western lochs. In 1865 he was appointed temporary assistant in the Hydrographic Office, a post he held until 1874. In 1873, he asked Colin Alexander McVean, Surveyor in Chief of Japanese government to work under him, and signed up the appointment in October 1873. But, he delayed departure more than a half year to take care of his weak wife. He became a naturalized British subject just before departure. Scharbau arrived at Japan in June 1874, and taught practice of triangulation in the Survey Office, and travelled several routes to set up base line together with McVean and Japanese colleagues, such as Nikko-Nasu route, Asamayama-Oiwake route, and Oadawa-Sagami route. He left Japan at the end of October 1876 after termination of his contract, and following year returned to the Hydrographic Office as a draughtsman. In April 1881, he transferred to the Royal Geographical Society as chief draughtsman. In 1902, Scharbau and his wife would die the same year.
# The Brendan Voyage

The Brendan Voyage was Shaun Davey's first major orchestral suite, composed for uilleann pipes played by Liam O'Flynn. It depicts Tim Severin’s adventure in reconstructing Saint Brendan’s 6th century Atlantic crossing to America. It features guest musicians Paul MacAteer (drums), Garvan Gallagher (electric bass) and Tommy Hayes (bodhran). The album title is also the title of Severin's book (ISBN 0-375-75524-1).

## Reception

The Brendan Voyage Suite is regarded in Ireland as a groundbreaking, crossover work of cultural significance. Composed by Shaun Davey in 1980, it is the first daring musical meeting between an Irish solo uilleann piper and a classical symphony orchestra. This confrontation of two separate traditions develops into a triumphant collaboration telling the story of explorer Tim Severin's daring and epic voyage across the Atlantic in a leather boat, a replica medieval voyage which proved that it was possible that the 6th century Irish Saint, Brendan may have reached America before Columbus or the Norsemen. The voice of the medieval boat is represented by the uilleann pipes of Liam O'Flynn, the seaworld of the Atlantic by the symphony orchestra.
Gramophone, reviewing The Brendan Voyage in 1985, wrote that "Davey writes splendid music: simple in idiom, (expressively so), and setting the scene ideally for the particular action in hand. The terror which must at times have overtaken the participants in such a voyage is perhaps understated; the joy of it is not." and describes it as "this very well made record".
Danny Saunders, writing for The Living Tradition, comments "I suspect that the fame of this album together with the length of time since its first release will mean that everyone that wanted this work will already own it. If you are lucky enough to be coming to The Brendan Voyage for the first time, having read the label, you are in for a treat."
The Irish public broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) ran a special programme on July 8, 2010 "The Brendan Voyage - Celebrating 30 Years", which as they said was "To mark the 30th anniversary of the composition of the orchestral suite for pipes and orchestra, The Brendan Voyage". The programme included a discussion with Tim Severin, Shaun Davey, and piper Liam Ó Floinn on St Brendan's voyage and the resulting music, as well as a recorded performance (from 2006) of the suite itself, played by Ó Floinn and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra.

Nick Dedina of AllMusic described the album as "one of his best" and noted Damone's voice is as beautiful as ever and he finds a nice balance between intimate romance and winking good humor though he throws in plenty of jazz guitar and lets listeners know that the album is really geared toward amorous conquests and romantic evenings at home.
Giving it four stars to indicate "strong sales potential", Billboard notes "The set swings politely throughout most of the album in an adult dance tempo groove."
Cashbox states that Damone is "demonstrating maturity" with the release and "delivers a top-notch of sturdies."

# Metrophanes III of Constantinople

Metrophanes III of Constantinople (Greek: Μητροφάνης ὁ Βυζάντιος; 1520 – 9 August 1580) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople two times, from 1565 to 1572 and from 1579 to 1580.

## Life

Metrophanes was born in 1520 to a Bulgarian merchant father in the village of Agia Paraskevi (now part of Istanbul), from where he took the sobriquet Byzantios ("of Byzantium"). His original name is variously given as Manuel or George.
In 1546 he was appointed Metropolitan of Caesarea by his personal friend Patriarch Dionysius II of Constantinople, who sent him to Venice mainly to raise funds, but Metrophanes went also to Rome and met the Pope. In 1548 this news caused a great concern in a part of the Greek population of Constantinople, with riots and an attempt to murder Dionysius II who was considered as guilty as Metrophanes. Dionysius II was on the point of being deposed, but no actions was taken against him because he enjoyed the support of Suleiman the Magnificent. Metrophanes was deposed from his See of Caesarea, but in 1551 he was forgiven and he went to live in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in the island of Chalki where he took care and enlarged the library.
He was elected Patriarch the first time in January or February 1565 supported by the rich and influential Michael Kantakouzenos Şeytanoğlu. He reigned for seven years and tried to improve the finances of the Patriarchate also through a trip in Moldavia. He was an open-minded man of letters, and well disposed towards the Westerners, both Catholic and Protestant. In 1568, Metrophanes III issued a strong condemnation in an encyclical letter concerning mistreatment of Jews in Crete, stating:
   "Injustice ... regardless to whomever acted upon or performed against, is still injustice. The unjust person is never relieved of the responsibility of these acts under the pretext that the injustice is done against a heterodox and not to a believer. As our Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospels said do not oppress or accuse anyone falsely; do not make any distinction or give room to the believers to injure those of another belief".
He was deposed on 4 May 1572 when Michael Kantakouzenos Şeytanoğlu transferred his support to the young and brilliant Jeremias II of Constantinople. After his deposition, to grant him a financial revenue, he was appointed bishop eis zoarkeian (i.e. without pastoral obligations) of Larissa and Chios, and he returned to live in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in the island of Chalki, near the capital.
After his attempts to return to the throne, in 1573 he was exiled to Mount Athos. Six years later, after the execution of Michael Kantakouzenos Şeytanoğlu and the murder of the Grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, Jeremias II lost his supporters and Metrophanes III was successfully restored on the throne on 25 November 1579. He died a few months later, on 9 August 1580, and was buried in the Pammakaristos Church, at the time the patriarchal cathedral.

# Adithinngithigh language

Adithinngithigh, or Adetingiti, is an extinct Australian aboriginal language once spoken in Cape York in Queensland.
There has been some confusion over the name:
   Given that Aditinngithigh and ‘Arritinngithigh’ seem to have been identified with only one estate each and the names are so similar, it might be tempting to consider their distinct spellings a mere artifact of the recording process, but the names are indeed distinct and moreover the relevant estate are noncontiguous and owned by different people.
However, it is not clear how distinct the two varieties are.

# Trial of the Detectives

The Trial of the Detectives (also known as the Turf Fraud Scandal) was a police corruption scandal involving three senior Metropolitan Police officers in 1877.
The Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch was tasked with investigating a confidence trick carried out by Harry Benson and William Kurr, both Englishmen, who used horse racing bets to swindle £30,000 from Madame de Goncourt, a Parisian woman. The pursuit and capture of Benson and Kurr proved to be a complicated task as they always managed to stay one step ahead of the authorities. The subsequent investigation uncovered that Inspector John Meiklejohn had been accepting bribes from Kurr to provide advance warning of their impending arrest. Additionally, Chief Inspector Nathaniel Druscovich and Chief Inspector William Palmer were implicated in this corrupt scheme.
The three stood trial at the Old Bailey alongside solicitor Edward Froggatt and Chief Inspector George Clarke, also a Metropolitan Police detective. Clarke was found Not Guilty but the other four were sentenced to two years in prison. The incident had implications for the organisation of Scotland Yard, as the Superintendent's ability to supervise his subordinates was called into question. Following the Committee of Inquiry, the Detective Branch was reorganised into the CID.

Fanny is smitten with the child and becomes distant from Jean. Jean begins an affair with another woman, Irène, favoured by his parents to become his wife, only to return to Fanny with renewed affection. The relationship becomes more complicated when Jean realises the child they adopted is Fanny's biological child from a previous affair with a criminal, prompting him to reject her again.

# Kamchatka Governorate

Kamchatka Governorate (Russian: Камчатская губерния) was an administrative-territorial unit of the RSFSR, which existed in 1922 to 1926. The center is the city of Petropavlovsk Port (since 1924 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky).
The province was formed on November 10, 1922, from the former Kamchatka region.
It was divided into 6 districts: Anadyrsky, Chukotsky, Gizhiginsky, Okhotsky, Commander and Petropavlovsk.

## History

In the mid-1920s, administrative-territorial reform began to be carried out in the USSR. All counties and volosts were replaced by districts.
The Kamchatka Gubernia Committee began preparatory work on the zoning of the Kamchatka province in the second half of 1925, as preparations were already underway for administrative-territorial transformations in the Far East. On October 7, 1925, at a meeting of the Kamchatka Provincial Revkom, a project for zoning the Kamchatka province was considered. The territories of the 14 former volosts that had formed by that time in the Kamchatka Okrug were taken as the basis for the new administrative-territorial formations. They were only in the former Petropavlovsk district - 9 volosts.
On January 4, 1926, the province was liquidated and transformed into Kamchatka Okrug. Its territory became part of the Far Eastern Krai.
