# Alkincoats Hall

Alkincoats Hall was a country house in Colne, Lancashire, England. Part of the estate in which the hall stood is now the 35-acre (14 ha) Alkincoats public park.
Originally built in the north of the estate in 1575, the hall was enlarged in 1720 and demolished in 1957.

## History

Alkincoats was once an estate owned by the de Alkincoats family which in 1570 comprised several estates held by John Parker, a descendant of the de Alkincoats, and James de Walton. It was the home of a branch of the Parker family of Browsholme, who were park keepers for the King's forest of Bowland.
The hall and its estate were bought by Robert Parker (1662–1714). It passed down through Parker family from Robert to his son Thomas, Robert (1720–1758). Robert had married his second cousin Elizabeth Parker and she, as a widow, managed the house for their son Thomas (1754–1819) when he was a child. Elizabeth became a notable diarist and then she ran off disastrously with a younger man while Thomas grew to be a Justice of the Peace (J.P.) and Deputy Lieutenant {D.L.} of Lancashire. He left the house to his son Thomas Parker (died 1832), an Army captain, J.P. and D.L. who also bought Browsholme Hall from his cousin. On his early death he was succeeded by his younger brother Edward (1786–1865), also a J.P. and D.L., who left it to his son Thomas Goulburne Parker (1818–1879) a barrister-at-law, J.P. and D.L. for the West Riding of Yorkshire and also J.P. for Lancashire. Thomas Goulburne had three sons, the eldest of which was Edward (1846–1894) who died childless, as a result of which ownership passed to his younger brother, Colonel John Robinson Parker (1857–1938), who later fought in the Boer War.
In 1921 the 92+1⁄2-acre (37.5 ha) estate was sold to Colne Borough Council by Colonel Parker for the sum of £24,082 and partly used as a public park. The hall was demolished in 1957 because of structural problems. The estate lodge, now a private house, is a grade II listed building. The park has held Green Flag status each year since 2009.

## Etymology

The name Alkincoats, for which the earliest recorded form was Altenecote (1202), likely originated as a Brittonic formation. The first element may be al-, "bright, shining", or alt, "slope, hillside" (see Oldham). The second is possibly tan, "under, below" (Welsh dan). This is suffixed with the definite article -ï[r] and *cę:d, "wood, forest" (Welsh -y coed). A possible meaning of the name is "hillside below the wood". A diminutive of the aforementioned alt, *alltan, "little cliff", may underlie the first part of the name.
# Beryllium bromide

Beryllium bromide is the chemical compound with the formula BeBr$_2$. It is very hygroscopic and dissolves well in water. The Be$^{2+}$ cation, which is relevant to BeBr$_2$, is characterized by the highest known charge density (Z/r = 6.45), making it one of the hardest cations and a very strong Lewis acid.

## Preparation and reactions

It can be prepared by reacting beryllium metal with elemental bromine at temperatures of 500 °C to 700 °C:
    Be + Br$_2$ → BeBr$_2$
When the oxidation is conducted on an ether suspension, one obtains colorless dietherate:
    Be + Br$_2$ + 2 O(C$_2$H$_5$)$_2$ → BeBr$_2$(O(C$_2$H$_5$)$_2$)$_2$
The same dietherate is obtained by suspending beryllium dibromide in diethyl ether:
    BeBr$_2$ 2 O(C$_2$H$_5$)$_2$ → BeBr$_2$(O(C$_2$H$_5$)$_2$)$_2$
This ether ligand can be displaced by other Lewis bases.is ether ligand can be displaced by other Lewis bases.
Beryllium bromide hydrolyzes slowly in water: BeBr$_2$ + 2 H$_2$O → 2 HBr + Be(OH)$_2$

## Structure

Two forms (polymorphs) of BeBr$_2$ are known. Both structures consist of tetrahedral Be$^{2+}$ centers interconnected by doubly bridging bromide ligands. One form consist of edge-sharing polytetrahedra. The other form resembles zinc iodide with interconnected adamantane-like cages.

## Safety

Beryllium compounds are toxic if inhaled or ingested.
# Ashton with Stodday

Ashton with Stodday is a former township and civil parish, now in the parish of Thurnham, in the Lancaster district, in Lancashire, England.
Ashton-with-Stodday was formerly a township in the parish of Lancaster. The civil parish was created in 1866 within Lancaster Rural District. The hamlet of Stodday was transferred to Lancaster civil parish and borough in 1935. The parish was abolished and incorporated into Thurnham on 1 April 1980. The population was recorded as 191 in 1871, 173 in 1931, 87 in 1961 and 109 in 1971. The parish was bordered on the north by the parish of Aldcliffe, on the west by the River Lune and on the south by the River Conder, and included the hamlets of Stodday and Conder Green and the estate of Ashton Hall.
# Microcalicha minima

Microcalicha minima is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by the English entomologist William Warren in 1896.

# Toys "R" Us Canada

Toys "R" Us Canada Ltd. is a Canadian chain of toy stores. It was founded by the Canadian franchise of U.S. toy retail chain Toys "R" Us; as of 2018, however, it operates independently and is based in Concord, Ontario, and throughout Canada.
It was owned by its American parent company from 1984 to 2018. In September 2017, Toys "R" Us filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and closed all U.S. locations in June 2018. Toys "R" Us pursued a sale of the Canadian division, including the possibility of bundling them with top-performing U.S. stores. The Canadian unit had annual sales of $1.08 billion at the time of the filing, and had to file for protection from its creditors due to the default of its U.S.-based businesses.
In April 2018, it was announced that Fairfax Financial would acquire the 82 Toys "R" Us locations in Canada for $300 million, with the stores continuing to use the Toys "R" Us name. In 2021, Sunrise Records owner Doug Putman, through his Putman Investments, announced he would buy Toys "R" Us Canada (which now comprised 81 locations) from Fairfax Financial.
In January 2024, the chain announced that it would revive the HMV brand in Canada (which Putman had acquired via Sunrise in 2019) as a store-within-a-store concept at Toys "R" Us Canada locations, stocking music, home video, and memorabilia such as books and clothing. The departments began to launch at selected locations in the Greater Toronto Area, and were expected to be deployed at other locations throughout the year.

# WXRK-LP

WXRK-LP is an active rock and alternative rock formatted radio station licensed to Charlottesville, Virginia, serving Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia. WXRK-LP is owned and operated by Blue Ridge Free Media.

## History

WXRK-LP signed on the air on September 7, 2015. The call sign for the station was previously held by former rock station WXRK-FM in New York City. From its outset, the station has aired a combination of active rock and alternative rock.
In September 2019, Saga Communications, which operates the Charlottesville Radio Group under the Tidewater Communications licensee, filed a petition with the FCC requesting that WXRK-LP's license not be renewed. Saga claimed the station, along with other Charlottesville-based low-power FMs, were operating as "a de facto cluster". The station's founder Mike Friend called the petition to deny "'legal junk' and a deliberate 'misinterpretation' of FCC rules". Friend pointed to other attempts by Saga to shutter low-power FM stations within Saga markets.
Saga, in 2004, claimed that KFLO-LP in Jonesboro, Arkansas, was airing announcements that "sound suspiciously like commercials". Saga also petitioned the FCC to revoke the license of WLCQ-LP, a Christian station in the Springfield, Massachusetts, market, "for equipment violations" in 2015. In both cases, the FCC "admonished the station" but denied Saga's complaints.
Jeff Lenert, co-founder of then-progressive talk station WPVC-LP, said that "though [the stations] share a building" all of "the stations all operate separately, having only limited and largely incidental contact with each other". Lenert turned in the license for WPVC-LP on June 16, 2020, "As a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and recent increased costs of station ownership and operation, it has become impossible to operate station WPVC-LP in the manner that I wish." Lenert largely blamed the "legal action by Saga Communications combined with a loss of sponsors during the pandemic" for the signing off of that station.
As of October 2024, the FCC has not acted on the Petition from Saga and WXRK-LP continues to broadcast. A similar petition from Saga seeking regarding the license of WREN-LP, housed in the same building, was largely denied in September 2024 but resulted in a short-term license renewal for that station and a consent decree regarding impermissible underwriting announcements.
# Horace Henderson

Horace W. Henderson (November 22, 1904 – August 29, 1988), the younger brother of Fletcher Henderson, was an American jazz pianist, organist, arranger, and bandleader.
Henderson was born in Cuthbert, Georgia, United States. While later attending Wilberforce University he formed a band called the Collegians, which included Benny Carter and Rex Stewart. This band was later known as the Horace Henderson Orchestra and then as the Dixie Stompers. Henderson left it to work with Sammy Stewart, then in 1928 organized a new band called the Collegians. Don Redman took over this band in 1931; Henderson continued to work as the band's pianist and arranger before leaving to work for his brother.
Fletcher Henderson's book contained about as many of Horace's arrangements as of Fletcher's. Although Horace worked continually, led bands, arranged, recorded, and composed into the 1980s, and although he is considered by many the more talented and skillful of the Henderson brothers, Fletcher remained more popular and accomplished more in the field.
Horace Henderson arranged for many other jazz musicians of the era. Among his other clients for arrangements were Charlie Barnet, the Casa Loma Orchestra, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Earl Hines, and Jimmie Lunceford. His best-known arrangements were of his own "Hot and Anxious" (part of which became the main theme of "In The Mood") and "Christopher Columbus", of which he was one of the writers (but never received credit). He also wrote another popular instrumental of the big band era titled "Big John's Special". These were three important compositions of the period.
At different times in his career, Horace was pianist and musical director for both Lena Horne and Billie Holiday.

# Blaouza

Blaouza (Arabic: بلوزا), also spelt Blawza or Blouza, is a Maronite Christian village in the Bsharri District, in the North Governorate of Lebanon. The population is approximately 457 (2021), and the village lies at an altitude of 1,320 metres above sea level.

## The Village and its History

Blaouza lies in the Qannoubine Valley region of the Qadisha Valley, an area settled 1,000-1,300 years ago by Maronite refugees fleeing persecution in the remote mountains of Lebanon and Syria. In their isolation, the communities of the Qadisha Valley preserved their religion, customs and language until the modern era. Unlike most Maronites in Lebanon, residents of Blaouza (and the Qadisha Valley in general) claim to be of Aramean, rather than Phoenician descent.
Most villages in the region have Aramaic names, and the name Blaouza comes from the Aramaic for "almond plains". Until the early 20th century, most villagers were Aramaic-speakers, and as a result, Blaouza natives speak Arabic with a distinct accent. This is also true of many of the Maronite villages of the region.
In 1998 it was reported that Blaouza had a population of around 200, whilst there were an estimated 10,000 people in Sydney who identified their families as coming from the village.

## Demographics

In 2014 Christians made up 100% of registered voters in Blaouza. 98.80% of the voters were Maronite Catholics.

## Famous residents

* Gabriel of Blaouza (born circa 1625), Maronite Patriarch 1704-1705
