# McCoy (TV series)

McCoy is an American comedy-drama series that starred Tony Curtis and aired on NBC-TV during the 1975–1976 season.

## Synopsis

The series stars Tony Curtis as a con man who, along with a team of friends, "out-cons" bad guys in order to steal back their ill-gotten gains and return the loot to its rightful owners. The schemes were elaborate and laced with satirical humor. The series bears resemblances to the then-recent film The Sting, as well as to the contemporary series Switch and the British literary character Simon Templar. Co-starring with Curtis was Roscoe Lee Browne as a nightclub comedian.

## Production and reception

The series was produced in the format of two-hour telefilms, that were broadcast as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie as one of several rotating series that would air once a month. Other series involved in the Universal Television franchise package were Columbo, McCloud, and McMillan & Wife. However, McCoy failed to garner the same ratings as its fellow programs and was cancelled after an initial 90-minute pilot TV movie ("The Big Ripoff") and four two-hour episodes were broadcast. A novelization of the pilot, written by Linda Stewart as "Sam Stewart", titled for the series, was published by Dell in 1976, and reprinted as McCoy: The Big Rip-Off, under W.H. Allen's Star imprint in the United Kingdom.

## Reception

Sophie Gilbert of The Atlantic called Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special "a sparkling and star-studded oddity that’s part-PBS telethon and part-depraved sex comedy... At its best, it’s a glorious, only partly ironic homage to the vocal power and unfettered sexual magnetism of one of the most indelible figures in balladry. At its worst, it’s baffling." Esther Zuckerman of The A.V. Club called the special "a hilarious assault on the very idea of conventional, heteronormative sexiness. It’s ideal Valentine’s Day programming for people who hate the nonsensical commercialism of Valentine’s Day and for anyone who can’t resist unfettered silliness."
# 1995 Trans Service Airlift Electra crash

The Trans Service Airlift Lockheed L-188 crash occurred on 18 December 1995 when a Lockheed L-188C Electra owned by Trans Service Airlift crashed near Jamba, Angola, killing 141 of the passengers and crew.
Trans Service Airlift (TSA), was a private company headquartered at Ndjili Airport, Kinshasa. The Electra was one of a number of ageing aircraft operated by TSA. Built in 1959, it was sold to TSA in 1992, after service with other operators.
On the date of the accident, the aircraft was flying a special charter for UNITA. Following the 1993 trade embargo on UNITA there were frequent "sanction busting" flights out of Zaire. TSA was one of the companies cited in connection with these operations. These flights rarely carried weapons (which were typically supplied over ground routes); usual cargoes were personnel, fuels, food, and medical supplies. The Angolan Government later claimed the aircraft was carrying weapons.
The aircraft, with 139 passengers and five crew members, was carrying forty more people than the plane was designed to carry, without taking cargo into account. It crashed two minutes after take-off. Some reports speculate that cargo may have slid to the back of the plane, resulting in a weight imbalance and causing the crash.
Initial reports by Zairean officials stated that the plane crashed near Cahungula, Lunda Norte Province, while transporting diamond miners from Zaire's capital, Kinshasa.
The co-pilot and two passengers survived the initial crash. The accident was the deadliest plane crash in 1995 until the crash of American Airlines Flight 965 two days later. It remains the deadliest ever plane crash in Angola.

# The Magic Cottage (TV series)

The Magic Cottage was an American children's program broadcast on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network from 1949 to 1952.

## Broadcast history

The Magic Cottage was hosted by Pat (Mary Patricia) Meikle (pronounced Michael), an artist and actress. In each episode, Meikle would tell a story illustrated by her drawings on a sketch pad propped on an easel, from which fairy tale characters would transform into live characters who acted out the adventures. Among them were the likes of Larry the Leprechaun, Maxwell the Mouse, and Wilmer the Pigeon, and in each episode Pat herself transformed into a princess who became part of the story being told, as the drawings "rippled" into real-time action to the accompaniment of a strum on a harp.
The series was produced by Pat's real-life husband Hal Cooper (February 23, 1923 - April 11, 2014). Pat and Hal married on December 21, 1944, had two children—Bethami (b. August 16, 1954) and Pamela—and divorced in 1970. The Magic Cottage was a spinoff of their Your Television Babysitter which aired in daytime 8:30 to 9 a.m. ET Monday through Friday on DuMont beginning November 1, 1948. However, The Magic Cottage was aimed at slightly older children who had just entered school, and aired on weekday evenings from 6:30 to 7 p.m. ET.
It was a low-tech show, consisting largely of Meikle telling stories while drawing charcoal-stick pictures on a large sketch pad and chatting with visitors such as Oogie The Ogre. The basic set showed the interior of a cozy cottage with a window and a Dutch half-door at the rear, with Pat sitting mid-stage and speaking directly into the camera until the action transformed into the story of the day.
According to the book about DuMont called The Forgotten Network, both series were well received at the time. Variety praised Meikle, stating that "her knowing method of not talking down to her moppet audience, is probably the answer to a mother’s prayer. She's already being touted as a new TV star..." And, The Magic Cottage continued on DuMont's flagship station WABD until 1955. In fact, Meikle continued to work at WABD, after both series had finished their runs.
Other regular cast members included Don Hastings, perhaps best remembered in the main supporting role of the Video Ranger on DuMont's popular series Captain Video; and later as the long-running character of Dr. Bob Hughes (1960-2010) on the iconic CBS daytime soap opera As the World Turns. Because it was done in New York, veteran stage actors were commonplace cast members. Among them were the likes of Broadway and TV veteran Ruth White, a Tony- and Emmy-nominated actress who appeared regularly as the librarian named "Bessie Bookbinder."

## Episode status

Although suffering the same fate as so many series of its era—virtually all the episodes are lost, a kinescope of one episode is held at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, with another (dating from December 28, 1950) held by the Paley Center for Media. An additional episode may survive as part of the Peabody Award collection.

# Muhammad Khan Sur

Muhammad Khan Sur, also known by his regnal title Shamsuddin Muhammad Shah Ghazi, was the Sultan of Bengal from 1553 to 1555. He was initially appointed as a governor of Bengal by Emperor Islam Shah Suri of the Sur Empire in 1545, but after his death, he declared independence and re-established the Bengal Sultanate. He conquered Arakan of Burma, and ordered of striking silver 'tanka' coins for Bengal.

## Governor of Bengal

Qazi Fazilat's term as Chief of all of the Muqtas of Bengal ended following the death of Emperor Sher Shah Suri in 1545. The next emperor, Islam Shah Suri, then appointed Muhammad Khan to govern Bengal. Muhammad peacefully governed Bengal, subordinate to the emperor. However, following Islam Shah's death in 1553, Muhammad declared independence from Delhi, effectively reestablishing the weakening Bengal Sultanate by starting his own dynasty.

## Sultan of Bengal

During his reign, Muhammad Shah conquered Arakan where he began minting coins from. His issued coins bore the Shahada and the names of the four Rashidun; Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman and Ali. This signified his Sunni Muslim religious beliefs. Unlike the Sur emperors, Muhammad Shah dropped the use of Devanagari script in coins. He also reconquered Chittagong from the Twipra Kingdom, and his legitimate authority was recognised as far as Bihar.
Vying for power in North India, Muhammad Shah conquered Jaunpur and proceeded for Delhi, the capital of the Sur Empire. In 1555, he fought a battle in Chapar Ghata against Islam Shah's successor, Adil Shah. In that battle Muhammad Shah was defeated and killed by Adil's Hindu general, Hemu.

## Succession

Muhammad Shah's eldest son, Khidr, ascended the independent throne of Bengal as Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah II. However, Adil Shah did not recognise this as a legitimate position and he appointed Shahbaz Khan Suri to be the governor of Bengal under him.

# Sebastopol, New South Wales

Sebastopol is a village community in the north east part of the Riverina, in New South Wales, Australia. It is situated about 15 kilometres south of Temora and 19 kilometres north of Junee Reefs. The name is also applied to the surrounding rural locality, for statistical and postal purposes.
The area now known as Sebastopol lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people.
It was named after Sevastopol, the site of an important battle during the Crimean War. Gold was mined there from c. 1870. It was the first to be discovered of a line of gold mining locations that ran north-north-west, from Junee Reefs, through Sebastopol, Temora, Reefton, and Barmedman, to West Wyalong.
The early days of the gold field were difficult; the closest police were at Morangorell, and water, carried from springs near Combaning, had to be purchased by the cask.
The first large quartz reef mine on the field was the Morning Star, begun in 1869, which was also the most productive, recorded as producing 0.93 tonnes of gold. The other large mine was the Homeward Bound. Both of these mines were rich in gold at a relatively shallow depth, yielding around eight ounces of gold to the ton; more gold was recovered later by retreating the tailings from these mines. From 1895 to 1898, the cyanide process was used to recover 0.5 ounces of gold per ton from the tailings. After 1896, mining on the field declined to small-scale and intermittent operations, but some mining activity continued in the area into the first half of the 20th Century.
The mines were long-lived enough for a mining village of around 500 people to form. It had three hotels, three stores and two butcher's shops. Sebastopol Post Office opened on 7 March 1870 and closed in 1973. Sebastopol had a school from 1871 to 1949. An Anglican church building remains in the locality some distance away from the old mining village, at a sub-locality once known as Bagdad; it is no longer used as a church, having been sold in 2016. There was also a school named Bagdad, from 1884 to 1912 and later from 1923 to 1948. Apart from some ruined buildings, little remains of the original mining village of Sebastopol.
Near Sebastopol is the 248 hectare site of a 90 Mega-Watt solar farm that became operational in December 2021.

In 1991, Ladislas de Hoyos left the 8pm news program of TF1. He was replaced by the French journalist Claire Chazal. In 1997, he worked at Radio France Inter to produce the history magazine The Days of the Century.
In 2001 he was elected mayor of Seignosse, Landes, position he held until his death. In July 2006, he was appointed Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur.
In 1975, he married Corinne Meilhan-Bordes, air hostess at Air France with whom he had two daughters, Amelie and Charlotte.
