# Ursula Venables

Ursula Mary Venables (nee Wykes, 1913-2000) was a Welsh zoologist who spent eight years in Shetland documenting the wildlife and traditions of the islands with her husband, ornithologist Llewellyn Sidney Vaughan Venables (known as "Pat," 1903-1989).

## Biography

Ursula Mary Wykes was born on 17 August 1913 at Hawarden, Wales, to parents George Herbert Wykes and Sarah Ellen Stephenson Wykes. Ursula's father had died by 1921 and she resided for a period in Hawarden with her Aunt and Uncle. Ursula's mother Sarah was active in the National Union of Woman Teachers.
Ursula Wykes attended Lady Margaret Hall college at Oxford, where she was accorded a First Class honours degree in Natural Sciences (Zoology). Wykes was awarded the Naples Biological Scholarship for 1935-1936, and in the summer of 1935 joined the Oxford University Women's Iceland Expedition,. While in Iceland about 70 miles from Reykjavik in Thrastalundur, Sogsbru, Wykes and fellow zoologist Patricia Lupton collected field mice to make a study of their ectoparasites (this study was conducted at the suggestion of Charles Sutherland Elton).
In 1939, still at Oxford, Wykes was working as a natural sciences teacher specialising in Zoology. In July 1939 an engagement was announced between Wykes and John Trevor Archdal Pearce (1916-2000) of Keble College, however a marriage did not take place. John Pearce became a colonial administrator and married later in life.
Wykes first met ornithologist Llewellyn "Pat" Venables at Oxford around the outbreak of WW2, when they were working on a research job together. They married in 1945 and as a married couple moved to Whiteness, Shetland where they lived for about eight years. In this period Ursula wrote three books, one with Llewellyn, about the islands, particularly concerning the bird life, bird breeding patterns, and day to day business of living in Shetland.
Ursula and Llewellyn later moved to Anglesey, Wales where in 1965 Llewellyn played a brief role trying to assist with the responsible disposal of the ornithological collections of collector Vivian Hewitt (1888-1965). In 1974 Ursula and Llewellyn were visited at Anglesey by their friend Campbell Douglas Deane, who caught up with the couple and observed how the bird life on the island had changed since he was stationed there in 1944 during WW2.
Llewellyn Venables died in 1989. Ursula Mary Venables died at Angelsey on 3 February 2000.

# Georg Ludwig Rudolf Maercker

Georg Ludwig Rudolf Maercker (21 September 1865 – 31 December 1924) was a German general who served during World War I.
Following the Armistice of 1918 that saw the end of fighting and of the Bolshevik revolution that led to the creation of the Soviet Union, there were many examples of disturbances throughout Germany. Maercker suggested the formation of Freikorps (Free Corps) to suppress these and a number of formations formed themselves, usually around individual army officers. After leaving the Freikorps, Maercker became active in Der Stahlhelm group and was the president of the Saxony chapter. In 1924, Maercker together with Theodor Duesterberg was a leader of the anti-Semitic fraction within the Stahhelm who wanted an "Aryan clause" that would ban Jews from joining the Stahlhelm and expel the current Jewish members. In March 1924, Maercker and Duesterberg got their way and forced Franz Seldte to adopt the "Aryan clause" and expel all Jews from the Stahlhelm.

# The Man Who Broke Britain

The Man Who Broke Britain is a 2004 BBC Television drama about a financial collapse triggered by a devastating terrorist strike.

## Plot

A devastating terrorist strike wipes out much of Saudi Arabia's oil production; the same day a trader of Saudi origin disappears from the fictional UK investment bank Sun First Credit (SFCB). Managers soon discover the missing trader, Samir Badr, has built up crippling debts, multiplied a hundredfold by the attacks in Saudi. SFCB, once the toast of the city, is suddenly heading for bankruptcy, taking a whole raft of other banks with it. The resulting market crash and banking crisis will push Britain and the US into a 21st Century recession: pension funds are slashed, unemployment soars and the housing market collapses. Following the discovery that Badr has committed suicide, a new Al-Qa'eda tape surfaces, in which Osama Bin Laden appears to claim responsibility for the financial turmoil. Suspicion grows that Badr was an Islamic extremist who deliberately sabotaged the bank. As the authorities and the media launch a massive investigation into the apparent Al-Qaeda assault on the pillars of the Western Economy, an alternative explanation emerges. Could greed and incompetence be the real cause of the collapse of Britain's economy?
# Theloderma baibungense

Theloderma baibungense, the Baibung small treefrog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It lives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Scientists found some 82 and 193 and 850 meters above sea level.
This frog lives in wet habitats that are not too high above sea level. It lives in the forest canopy, but male individuals have been found on shrubs and weeds at night. It has not been observed in secondary forest and does not appear tolerant to clear-cutting.
Scientists have not observed this frog's eggs or tadpoles, but they infer it breeds through larval development in water-filled holes in trees like other frogs in Theloderma.
The IUCN classifies this frog as not in danger of dying out because of its large range. What threat it faces comes from habitat loss to build roads and logging.
The frog's range includes at least one protected park: Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve.
# Preston City Oval

Preston City Oval (PCO), also known by naming rights sponsorship as Genis Steel Oval (GSO) and sometimes mistakenly as Genis Street Oval, is an Australian rules football stadium in Cramer Street in Preston, a suburb of Melbourne. It has a main grandstand and the ground is capable of holding around 5,000 spectators.

## History

The ground was the home of the Preston Football Club in the Victorian Football League, and has remained one of its two primary home grounds in the club's recent incarnations as the Northern Blues, and since 2021, the Northern Bullants. It is also the home of the Northern Knights TAC Cup side and the Preston Bullants Junior Football Club. It was also the venue for the Victorian Women's Football League Grand Final in 2007, where a new VWFL crowd record was set.
In the 1960s, the then-VFL's Fitzroy Football Club was interested in moving its base from the Brunswick Street Oval to Preston, owing to a poor relationship with the Fitzroy Cricket Club, and in 1962 it made a request to the Preston Council for a 40-year lease of the venue; but, the council decided that the lease could be granted only if the Fitzroy and Preston football clubs came to agreeable terms, which they did not.
In summer the ground is used by the Preston Cricket Club, who play in the VSDCA as their home ground. The PCC uses the ground for their 1st and 2nd XI as well as the Under 15 RM Hatch Team.

### Redevelopment

In the summer of 2009/10 the ground was redeveloped. Drought tolerant couch grass has been in the summer so that the ground was ready for football season.
