## Critical reception

A reviewer in The Sydney Morning Herald said it is a "broadly farcial" story "in which the fun waxes fast and furious, and even where the comedy is less uproarious the author indulges his vein of quiet humour very effectively."
In The Canberra Times Maurice Dunlevy called the story "not only one of the best examples in our literature of that familiar form of the tall tale, the remarkable invention story, but is also one of Paterson's best remembered."

# Chillenden Windmill

Chillenden windmill is a grade II* listed open-trestle post mill north of Chillenden, Kent, England. It is the last post mill built in Kent.

## History

Chillenden windmill was built by Holman's of Canterbury in 1868, replacing an earlier post mill that had blown down. The new mill incorporated some material from the old one. A windmill was marked on Philip Symonson's map of 1596, John Speed's map of 1611, Robert Morden's map of 1695, Emanuel Bowen's map of 1736, Andrews, Drury and Herbert's map of 1769 and all Ordnance Survey maps from 1819. Holman's, the Canterbury millwrights, fitted a new stock and two new sails in 1927, and the mill was working until 1949, when it lost a sail in a gale. Local people raised some money in 1955 to make the mill weatherproof, and on 12 December 1957 the mill was bought for £100, by Kent County Council and restored at a cost of £728 although some machinery was removed.

## Collapse and rebuilding

Chillenden windmill collapsed on 26 November 2003. The collapse was attributed to the fact that one of the four piers on which the mill stood had sunk into the ground over time, and the mill's being in a fixed position, not facing directly into the prevailing wind at the time. The mill wreckage was carefully dismantled on 15 December 2003 and put into storage while a decision was made on the future of the building. There were rumours that the mill would be rebuilt at the Museum of Kent Life, but on 31 March 2004 Kent County Council announced that the mill was to be rebuilt on site. The restoration work was carried out by IJP Millwrights, of Binfield Heath, Berkshire. The work included new crosstrees and quarter bars, a new windshaft, both breast and tail of the mill rebuilt and new weatherboarding all over. Four new sails were made, replacing those on the mill at the time of its collapse. These had been fitted in 2001. By early May 2005, work had commenced on site re-erecting the frame of the mill. The reconstructed frame of the mill was erected on the new trestle on 25 May 2005. The mill reopened to visitors on 13 September 2005.

## Description

Chillenden windmill is a white open-trestle post mill with four spring sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The windshaft carries a cast-iron brake wheel with a wooden rim. The brake wheel has fifty wooden cogs, driving a cast-iron wallower on a cast-iron upright shaft. This carries a cast-iron great spur wheel which drives two pairs of underdrift millstones in the head of the mill. The mill formerly had a maize kibbler, but this was removed when the mill was restored in 1958. The mill is winded by a tailpole.

# Tsiknopempti

Tsiknopempti (Greek: Τσικνοπέμπτη, romanized: Tsiknopémpti) is part of the traditional celebrations of Apókries (Απόκριες), the Greek Carnival season. Tsiknopempti occurs on the second to last Thursday before Lent and can be translated as Charred Thursday or Smoky Thursday. It centers on the consumption of large amounts of grilled and roasted meats before Lenten fasting commences.

## Celebration

Apokries (Carnival season) in Greece is made up of three themed weeks of celebration. These weeks are, in order: Prophoní (Προφωνή, 'Preannouncement Week'), Kreatiní (Κρεατινή, 'Meat Week'), and Tiriní (Τυρινή, 'Cheese Week'). Tsiknopempti is the Thursday of Kreatiní and represents a highlight in a weeklong celebration of meat consumption. The festivities on Tsiknopempti revolve around large outdoor parties where massive amounts of meat are grilled or roasted.
Often Tsiknopempti-like celebrations will occur again, generally on a smaller scale, the following Sunday which marks the final day meat can be eaten before the beginning of the Great Lent, the strict fasting season that leads up to Easter. In the Greek Orthodox tradition, fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays is important, therefore Thursday is the best day for Tsiknopempti. Tsiknopempti is celebrated 11 days before Clean Monday (often referred to in English as Ash Monday, to allude to Ash Wednesday in the West, however in Orthodox tradition there is no imposition of ashes). After Tsiknopempti, the next major celebration of Apokries is Tirofágos (Τυροφάγος) during the week of Tiriní which focuses on the consumption of cheese, eggs, and dairy.
In Lebanon, a similar tradition exists and is known as Khamis el sakara (Thursday of drinking).
Similar celebrations known as Fat Thursday are held in many other countries.

## Etymology

The Greek word Τσικνοπέμπτη (Tsiknopempti) is made up of the words τσίκνα (tsíkna, lit. 'the smell of roasting meat') and Πέμπτη (Pémbti, 'Thursday').

# Chesapeake Beach railway station

# Canoas Air Force Base

Canoas Air Force Base – ALA3 (IATA: QNS, ICAO: SBCO) is a base of the Brazilian Air Force, located in Canoas, near Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The history of Canoas Air Force Base begins in 1937, when the 3rd Army Aviation Regiment (3º RAv) was transferred from Santa Maria Air Force Base to Canoas. With the creation of the Air Force Ministry in 1941, the 3º RAv became known as Gravataí Air Force Base. On 21 August 1944, the 3º RAv officially ceased to exist and on the same day Canoas Air Force Base was commissioned.

# Boonton Historical Society and Museum

The Boonton Historical Society and Museum, is located at 210 Main Street in Boonton, New Jersey. The building was constructed in 1898 as a private residence for Dr. John Taylor and his wife Adelaide Kanouse. Since 1959, the building has served as local history museum beneath the auspices of the Boonton Historical Society.

## History

In 1897, John L. Kanouse gave the lot on which the house now stands as a Christmas gift to his daughter Adelaide T. Kanouse and her husband, Dr. John Taylor. Some believe this gift may have been intended to encourage the couple to depart their residence of 15 years in Succasunna and Mount Arlington, to move closer, which they subsequently did in 1898 with Dr. Taylor continuing his medical practice at the location.
The brick building is 4 stories tall, built on a hill with steps leading up to the living levels on the front and ground level access to what was one time basement space at the rear. As was common during this era, parts of the home were used as office space for Taylor's medical practice, perhaps one reason why a lot located on Main Street was selected.
In 1901, Adelaide Kanouse's ailing parents moved into the home. This arrangement was short-lived because her father died in 1905 and her mother in 1908.
The structure moved out of Taylor's hands in 1917 as Dr. Taylor moved to Chula Vista, California and his associate, Dr. Peck departed to serve in World War I and thus did not take over the practice.
At the close of the war, American Legion Post #124 was formed of returning veterans who utilized the structure and subsequently the Mayor and Alderman formally purchased the structure for dedication as that organization's headquarters.
On November 11, 1980, the Boonton Historical Society opened the doors to its museum on the 2nd floor, courtesy of the American Legion Post #124.
In 1990, the building was closed for restoration and reopened in 1997, serving the region as Boonton's local history museum ever since.
