# Tommy Sweetman

Thomas Henry Sweetman (born 21 July 1930) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned six international caps for the England national speedway team.

## Career

Sweetman started his British leagues career for Aldershot Shots in the 1954 Southern Area League but the team withdrew and he finished the season with California Poppies, where he won the leagues with the club.
He spent the 1955 and 1956 seasons with the Poppies but in 1956 he also rode for nomadic Southern Rovers. In 1957, he rode for the Rayleigh Rockets reserve team before taking the big step up to the National League, where he joined the Norwich Stars for the 1958 Speedway National League season.
In 1959 he switched to Swindon Robins and doubled up with the Rye House Rockets in the Southern League, where he finished sixth in the league averages. The following season he joined New Cross Rangers for the 1960 Speedway National League and also raced for them in 1961. This was also the same year that he started his Wolverhampton Wolves career.
It was with Wolves that he won the 1963 Provincial Speedway League and won the Southern Riders' Championship in 1964. He followed the team into the 1965 British League season, where he enjoyed another solid season. In 1966, he moved to Exeter Falcons and top scored for the team during the 1966 British League season, which earned him a place in the 1966 British League Riders' Championship. He rode for Exeter for three seasons before having one final season with Hackney Hawks in 1969.
# Sutherland Avenue

Sutherland Avenue is a street in Maida Vale in London, England. Located in the City of Westminster on the northern edge of Little Venice. it is an avenue running east to west from the Edgware Road to Harrow Road. Along the route it is crossed or joined by Randolph Avenue, Warrington Crescent, Lauderdale Road, Castellian Road, Warwick Avenue and Shirland Road. Elgin Avenue runs directly parallel to the north.
In common with much of the area, the street design was laid out by the architect George Gutch in the Regency era and built during the following decades. The builder Hugh Biers played a role in developing the new wealthy residential street. Originally it was two distinct roads Stranraer Place and Sutherland Gardens which were combined in 1887 to create the single Sutherland Avenue.
Like much of the surrounding area, it had a considerable Jewish population by the late Victorian era which was served by the Synagogue in neighbouring Lauderdale Road from 1896. The Greek poet Andreas Kalvos lived in the street in the nineteenth century and is now commemorated by a blue plaque. The film director Val Guest was born in the street. The poet Eddie Linden published the poetry magazine, Aquarius, from his flat on the street.
# Wely

Wely is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Neder-Betuwe, and lies about 8 km south of Wageningen.
It was first mentioned in the late 11th century as "apud VUelie". The etymology is unknown. The postal authorities have placed it under Dodewaard.
# Welwyn Studios

Welwyn Studios was a British film studio located at Broadwater Road, Welwyn Garden City, in Hertfordshire. The facility operated between 1928 and 1950.
The studios were first constructed by British Instructional Films, and converted to make sound films shortly afterwards. The studios were later taken over by British International Pictures (from 1933, the Associated British Picture Corporation) who used them as the base for production of the company's supporting features as well as an overflow facility for the main complex at Elstree Studios. A number of films were also made there by independent companies.
Welwyn Garden City, anxious to develop the town with home industries, had initially approached A.E Bundy, who had bought British Instructional Films, from Sir Oswald Stoll. Bundy was offered the site on favourable terms and thousands of girders, left over after Stoll had enlarged his Surbiton Studios, further reduced the construction cost. H. Bruce Woolfe, producer of significant First World War documentaries, was the major figure at the studios. Welwyn was one of the pioneer studios in Britain - it produced one of the first British sound films, claimed to use the first back-projection shot - in Battles of the Coronel and Falkland Islands - , and was important in the production of British educational films. Woolfe made the popular Secrets of Nature series and war films, the afore-mentioned Battles of the Coronel and Falkland Islands and Tell England. Tell England, a story concerned with the Gallipoli landings, was directed by Anthony Asquith for British Instructional Films, and he was an artist who had been given his first chance at Welwyn studios.
Later films made at Welwyn included The Night Has Eyes (1942) with James Mason, Queen of Spades (1949), Night Boat to Dublin (1945), Quiet Weekend (1946), Cairo Road (1950), with Eric Portman, No Place For Jennifer (1950) with Leo Genn, and Last Holiday (1950 film). The studios were apparently not ideal for talkies and noises easily penetrated and made shooting difficult - the 5pm hooter from the nearby Nabisco shredded wheat factory and the adjacent main-line railway were amongst the distractions. Of the 194 employees in 1950, 46 transferred to Associated British Picture Corporation's studios at Elstree. The three-studio complex was sold in 1951 to a tobacco company.

In 1543 it was sacked by Turkish pirates. The port maintained a certain degree of trades until the 19th century, and was also the seat of a tonnara until 1956.

# Sierra Wave

The Sierra Wave is a type of air current created by winds that lift off the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. Known as lee waves, Sierra Waves form as winds hit the Sierra Nevada and are forced to rise, causing water vapor to condense as it cools and forming lenticular clouds on the leeward side of the mountain range. These clouds can remain stationary for many hours. The formation of a Sierra Wave is dependent upon many factors, including wind speed and direction, leeward wind patterns, and water vapor. Given that Sierra Waves are dependent upon many variables their formation is unpredictable. First discovered and studied around 1950, they are used by glider pilots to gain altitude and extend their flights.

In 1934, her Code Letters were changed to LOGW.
On 23 October 1937 whilst on board Général Bonaparte, César Campinchi, the Minister of Marine, remarked that he thought war with Italy was "not only inevitable but necessary".
