# Adam Wakenshaw

Adam Herbert Wakenshaw VC (9 June 1914 – 27 June 1942) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

## Details

Wakenshaw was 28 years old, and a private in the 9th Battalion, The Durham Light Infantry, British Army during the Second World War, and was awarded a Victoria Cross for his actions on 27 June 1942 in Mersa Matruh, Egypt, where he was killed in combat.

### Citation

   On the 27th June, 1942, south of Mersa Matruh, Private Wakenshaw was a member of the crew of a 2-pounder anti-tank gun. An enemy tracked vehicle towing a light gun came within short range. The gun crew opened fire and succeeded in immobilising the enemy vehicle. Another mobile gun came into action, killed or seriously wounded the crew manning the 2-pounder, including Private Wakenshaw, and silenced the 2-pounder. Under intense fire, Private Wakenshaw crawled back to his gun. Although his left arm was blown off, he loaded the gun with one arm and fired five more rounds, setting the tractor on fire and damaging the light gun. A direct hit on the ammunition finally killed him and destroyed the gun. This act of conspicuous gallantry prevented the enemy from using their light gun on the infantry Company which was only 200 yards away. It was through the self sacrifice and courageous devotion to duty of this infantry anti-tank gunner that the Company was enabled to withdraw and to embus in safety.

## The Medal

His Victoria Cross medal is displayed at the Durham Light Infantry Museum & Durham Art Gallery, Durham City, England. His widow and son received the medal from King George VI at Buckingham Palace on 4 March 1943
# Phoebe Earle

Phoebe Earle (1790–1863), known by her married names of Phoebe Dighton and Phoebe MacIntyre, was a painter working in England who was appointed Flower Painter in Ordinary to Queen Adelaide.

## Life

Born 1 September 1790 and baptised on 3 October 1790 at St Marylebone Parish Church in London, she was the first child of the Massachusetts painter James Earl and Georgiana Caroline Pilkington (1757-1838), Irish daughter of John Carteret Pilkington. Her younger brother, also an artist, was Augustus Earle and her older half-brother was Admiral William Henry Smyth.
On 22 June 1812 at St Pancras Old Church in London she married the fellow-painter Denis Dighton and they had two sons, the first not living long while the second, Henry Denis Dighton (1817-1874), became an officer in the British Army. In 1820 her work was first accepted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and she exhibited there for much of the rest of her life. The Royal Society of British Artists also showed her work from 1825 on and she was exhibited at the British Institution.
When her husband's mental health began to fail, she moved with him and their surviving son to Brittany, returning to England after his death in 1827. Settling in the spa town of Leamington, she built up a clientele as a teacher of drawing, painting and wax modelling, with her reputation became national in 1830 when she was given the court post of fruit and flower painter to the new Queen Adelaide. Living close to Stratford-upon-Avon, in 1835 she produced a book of hand-coloured lithographs called Relics of Shakespeare and her work was shown outside England at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1837.
On the death in 1838 of her half-sister Elizabeth Smyth (1787-1838), wife of James Murray (1779-1847), who looked after the insane John Murray, 5th Duke of Atholl at his house in Kilburn, Phoebe took over the responsibility and sold her business in Leamington. On 7 February 1839, with her half-brother giving her away, at Christ Church, St Marylebone, she married Patrick MacIntyre, a senior executive of the United Kingdom Life Assurance Company, a predecessor company of Aviva, who moved in with her to care for the Duke.
After the Duke died in 1846, the two moved to Kensington and were able to take a long holiday in Europe. Last shown at the Royal Academy in 1854, she died in Edinburgh on 11 December 1863 during a visit to her nephew Charles Piazzi Smyth and his wife Jessie.

# So Alive (Love and Rockets song)

"So Alive" is a song by British alternative rock band Love and Rockets, released in 1989 as the second single from their self-titled fourth album. The song reached No. 1 in Canada and charted within the top 30 in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. In the US, it topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for five weeks and was ranked No. 1 on that listing's year-end chart for 1989. The song's music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and produced by Pamela James.

## Background

At a party one Saturday night, singer Daniel Ash saw a beautiful woman with long brown hair on the other side of a dark, shadowy room. He didn't go talk to her because he was married, but he was infatuated for the rest of the weekend. "It was like I'd known her in a different lifetime or something. It was just this thing that hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't stop thinking about her," he said.
On Monday, he took a bottle of whiskey into the basement of Blackwing Studios in London, and put together chords and lyrics about the woman in 45 minutes. His bandmates provided bass and drums. Inspired by "Walk on the Wild Side" by Lou Reed, the band brought in female backing singers the next day, and finished the song in under 24 hours.

## Critical reception

Billboard magazine described "So Alive" as "delectable" as well as the "best T. Rex tune that Marc Bolan never wrote." Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote that the song was the only track on the album capable of receiving airplay and also noted the T. Rex similarities.

## Chart performance

The single was Love and Rockets' biggest hit in the United States, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed for five weeks, as well as achieving a peak of No. 9 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It was the most successful modern rock song of 1989 in the United States, ranking in at No. 1 on the chart's year-end edition. The song peaked at No. 1 on Canada's RPM 100 Singles chart for two weeks, finishing 1989 as Canada's sixth-best-performing single. "So Alive" also reached No. 79 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 24 on the Australian Singles Chart, and No. 16 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.
# Magnus Gustav von Essen

Magnus Gustav von Essen (Russian: Иван Николаевич Эссен, romanized: Ivan Nikolaevich Essen; 30 September [O.S. 19 September] 1759 – 20 July [O.S. 8 July] 1813) was a Russian lieutenant general of Baltic German origin and the military governor of Riga at the start of the Patriotic War of 1812.

## Life
### Pre-1812

From the Essen family in Estonia, from 1783 to 1785 he fought in Poland, where he was seriously injured. He fought in the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790) as well as Russia's 1792 and 1794 Polish campaigns. For his service at the Battle of Maciejowice he was awarded the 4th degree of the Order of St George.
In 1799 he commanded the first division in the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland under the command of general Johann Hermann von Fersen. From 1802 he was the military governor of Smolensk. He then fought in the 1807 war against Napoleon, being seriously wounded at Friedland.

### 1812

During the Patriotic War of 1812 he served as Military Governor of Riga in place of Dimitri Lobanov-Rostovsky and was forced to set fire to Riga's suburbs as soon as the enemy captured their outermost edge. After unsuccessful attempts to stop the Prussians at a distance from the city and unsuccessfully fighting to save Iecava, he ordered the burning of the suburbs but because of a strong wind the fire got out of control and thousands of city residents were left homeless.
Towards autumn the war changed direction. The Prussian corps became overextended, Macdonald remained inactive, a Russian successes was won by Peter Wittgenstein at Polotsk, Napoleon began a general retreat and Fabian Steinheil arrived in Riga - all these circumstances brought Essen to the top of the pile, but due to mismanagement the Russians were unable to capitalise on these victories and suffered heavy losses in several battles. In October Essen was replaced in his post by General Paulucci and filed his resignation.
Essen then went for a long course of treatment at the Baldone sulphur baths near Riga, where he drowned on 23 August 1813 while swimming. According to one version of events, he committed suicide on the anniversary of the firing of the Riga suburbs.

## Family

His father was Claus Gustav von Essen, a statesman, and his mother was Magdalena Elisabeth von Stackelberg. Essen married Margaretha von Stackelberg in 1796, they had a daughter, Elisabeth Anna Dorothea, who was married to the Russian general Carl Magnus von der Pahlen (ru).

## In fiction

He is portrayed in The Commodore, novel of the Horatio Hornblower series.

# 1902 Belgian general election

Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 25 May 1902. The result was a victory for the Catholic Party, which won 54 of the 85 seats up for election in the Chamber of Representatives. Voter turnout was 95.7%.
Under the alternating system, elections were only held in five out of the nine provinces: Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders. In addition to the regular elections for these 85 seats, elections were held for one seat (6 in total) in Ghent-Eeklo, Aalst, Soignies, Charleroi, Liège and Verviers because the number of representatives increased for these electoral arrondissements following the population census.
A month earlier, a general strike was held, aimed at forcing electoral reform and notably the end of the system of plural voting. However, it was unsuccessful. The Catholic Party, being against reform, even strengthened its majority in the elections.

# Rams (Ras Al Khaimah)

Rams is a suburb of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Once a pearl diving and fishing community that frequently disputed the rule of Ras Al Khaimah, today it forms the northern coastal settlement of the city.

## History

A coastal community, Rams' hinterland consists of palm groves and the fort of Dhayah. It was at Rams that the British punitive expedition landed in 1819, following the sack of Ras Al Khaimah. The British fought their way inland to Dhayah, where they encountered spirited resistance, finally taking the surrender of almost 800 men, women and children after surrounding and bombarding the fort for some three days. The General Maritime Treaty of 1820 was signed by Hassan bin Ali, 'Sheikh of Zyah' who was, in fact, the Sheikh of Rams and Dhayah.
Rams was traditionally home to the Tanaij tribe, all 400 houses there were settled by the early 19th century by that tribe. Almost a hundred years later, the village had a single shop, kept by a Persian gentleman, and some 7,000 date palms. The inland area of Dhayah was by then uninhabited, having been sacked by the British in 1819.
They mostly relied on pearl fishing, with a fleet of 3 pearl boats and 10 fishing boats. The Tanaij of Rams would frequently hire members of the mountain Shihuh tribe for pearling expeditions. Themselves desiring independence, Rams' community frequently came into conflict with the Rulers of Ras Al Khaimah.
It has a long, 1.6 km beach, which has in recent year witnessed a number of ecological disasters, including a mass death event where thousands of dead fish, thought to be sardines, were washed up on the beach in May 2018. Earlier in the year, a 9-meter whale was washed up.
With its long history of pearl fishing, many of the older buildings in Rams (constructed from wood, coral and local materials) are being considered for redevelopment.

## Nature

Thousands of blue blubber jellyfish washed up along the shores of Rams in March and April 2019, which was unusual for this time of the year. Fishermen had to net the jellyfish as they disrupted their work.
# St Arnaud Mercury

The St Arnaud Mercury was a newspaper first published on 13 February 1864 by the proprietors, Evans and Somerton, who also owned the Maryborough Advertiser.
It was purchased in 1868 by mining entrepreneur Charles Ferris Lewis (1828–1900). He bound yearly volumes and donated them to the Borough Council of St Arnaud, the Shire of Kara Kara and the Mechanics' Institute. The Lewis family owned the paper for 61 years with his two sons, (eponymously named) Charles Ferris and Thomas George, continued the Mercury until 1929.
Printer, journalist and parliamentarian Edward William O'Sullivan (1864–1910) worked as an editor for the paper for about three years before going to The Argus in 1879.
Now serving the region is the North Central News which published a 32-page supplement on 28 September 2005, to mark the 150th anniversary of St Arnaud. Two pages were devoted to articles and photographs related to the history of newspapers in the town and the neighbouring Charlton.

## Archives

Excluding a six-day gap from 26 December 1876, the microfilm archive of the newspaper held at the State Library of Victoria spans uninterrupted from 5 March 1864 to 24 December 1976.
