## Biography

Pitman was born in Whitecroft, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, to Maudie (née Morse) and William Pitman. He attended Bexhill-on-Sea and then Cirencester Grammar Schools. He began his career in journalism with the Gloucestershire Echo and Brighton Argus newspapers before moving to the Daily Mail and then on to the BBC. His first on-screen role was as reporter on Braden's Week with Bernard Braden and Esther Rantzen.
He was also known for reporting for the series The Big Time, an edition of which launched the career of the singer Sheena Easton and he presented a follow-up programme Sheena Easton - the Making of a Star. The programmes helped to make her international career. Other editions included footballer Lol Cottrell, and "Beaminster and District Gardens and Allotments Society Goes to Chelsea". The series was produced by Esther Rantzen. In the late 1980s he devised and reported Just Another Day - a series of documentaries following a notional 'Day in the Life' of English places, institutions and professions. Another important series devised by Pitman was The Other Half, exploring the lives of less well-known partners of celebrities.

He could sense what was really going on and his documentaries were full of humanity and insight, and really quirky." He is survived by his nephew, Steven, and niece, Carole.
# John Pitkin Norton

John Pitkin Norton (July 19, 1822 – September 5, 1852) was an educator, agricultural chemist, and author.

## Biography

Norton was born in Albany, New York, in 1822, where his father John Treadwell Norton, a successful farmer and engineer, owned a hardware store. His mother, Mary Hubbard Pitkin, married his father in 1821 and died in 1829. He and his father returned to Farmington, Connecticut, to live on land his father inherited from his grandfather John Treadwell, former governor of Connecticut.
Norton went to Edinburgh in 1844 to study agricultural chemistry with James F. W. Johnston. There he made a study of the oat which was read at the British Association in June, 1945. He then toured continental laboratories, including a visit with countryman Eben Horsford who was in Giessen studying with Liebig. To gain greater orientation to organic chemistry he went to Gerardus Mulder in Utrecht. Norton acted as a foreign correspondent for The Cultivator and American Agriculturalist as he submitted monthly letters describing his observations.
Norton studied chemistry under Benjamin Silliman at Yale College, and was eventually appointed professor of agricultural chemistry at Yale in 1846. He helped to found the department of philosophy and the arts at Yale with Silliman's son, Benjamin Silliman, Jr., which would later become the Sheffield Scientific School and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. He was the author of Elements of Scientific Agriculture (1850), and many scientific papers, dealing with the chemistry of crops. During his short teaching career at Yale (1846–52), he took Samuel William Johnson as a pupil, who would later become one of the country's foremost educators in scientific agriculture.
Norton succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of 30, and died in Farmington, Connecticut, in 1852. He is buried in Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, Connecticut.

Norton's house, completed in 1849 and designed by Henry Austin to resemble an Italian villa, was included in the federal government's Historic American Buildings Survey as the John Pitkin Norton House. It was purchased by Yale in 1923 and is now known as Steinbach Hall. Norton's great-granddaughter, Mary DeWitt Pettit, donated his papers to Yale in 1969.
# John Purroy Mitchel (fireboat)

John Purroy Mitchel was a New York City Fire Department fireboat. She was named after former mayor of New York City John Purroy Mitchel. Grace Drennan, niece of Fire Commissioner Thomas J. Drennan, played a ceremonial role in the boat's launch on July 24, 1921. Her launch was also attended by current mayor John Francis Hylan.
John Purroy Mitchel was the city's first fireboat powered by fuel-oil, not coal. She was 132 feet (40 m) long, and her pumps could throw 9,000 gallons per minute, at pressure of 300 pounds per square inch. One of her water cannons was mounted on top of a 26 feet (7.9 m) tower.
Standard Shipbuilding Corporation of Shooter's Island built John Purroy Mitchel. She was budgeted at $220,000 but was completed under budget at $200,000.
On October 5, 1926, the crew of the ocean liner Byron discovered a fire in one of her cargo holds. John Purroy Mitchel assisted William J. Gaynor, which was the first fireboat on scene. The two fireboats pumped water into the burning hold, and Byron reached the quarantine station under her own power.
At 02:00 hrs on July 5, 1927, a fire was discovered among cotton bales in the number 6 cargo hold of RMS Ebro as she approached New York. She docked in the North River just before 10:00 hrs, disambarked her passengers, and then John Purroy Mitchel and Thomas Willett fought the fire. It was extinguished by 14:00 hrs.
The boat was still in service in 1962, when the John H. Glenn Jr. joined the fleet.
# William Whitlock Jr.

William Whitlock, Jr (February 23, 1791 – July 11, 1875 in New York City) was an American shipping industry executive.
He was a son of William Whitlock, a ship owner and master, and was descended from Thomas Whitlock who came from England in 1640 and after a few years of residence in Massachusetts became one of the first settlers of Gravesend, Brooklyn in 1646. Whitlock Jr entered the shipping business in 1812 and soon created a trade. At one time he ranked among the largest individual owners of ocean tonnage in the United States.
He did not have control of as large a number of vessels as some others but owned most of his ships entirely. In 1825 he established a line of packet ships between New York and Le Havre, which flourished until the beginning of the American Civil War when the competition of steamships drove it from the sea.
Whitlock exported cotton extensively and imported East India goods, particularly hemp. He was a director of The Bank of America and had high credit in the commercial cities of the world. He retired in 1872.
In 1818 he married Miss H Scott of Catskill, New York; they had one son and four daughters. Religious and charitable work occupied much of his time. For many years he served as treasurer of St George's Church and an officer of The American Bible Society.
# William Whitlock (politician)

William Charles Whitlock (Southampton, 20 June 1918 – 2 November 2001, Leicester) was a British Labour Party politician.
Whitlock was educated at Itchen Grammar School and the University of Southampton. He volunteered for the British Army upon graduation, and soon joined the Hampshire Regiment. Part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), he was one of those evacuated on the last day at Dunkirk, escaping aboard a fishing trawler in June 1940. At the end of 1940, he volunteered for the airborne forces. Assigned to the British 1st Airborne Division, he landed near Nijmegen during Operation Market Garden in September 1944 and was one of the relatively few British airborne troops to escape death or capture during the operation. An excellent linguist, he remained in the Army for an extra year, acting as a German translator during the occupation.
He was appointed as an area organiser of the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers in 1946. In 1957, he became President of the Leicester City Labour Party.
Whitlock was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottingham North in 1959. Throughout his career, he was a champion of improved conditions for office workers. A party whip from 1962, Whitlock was appointed Vice-Chamberlain of the Household in 1964, and retained the office until 1966. He was then briefly a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury before being appointed Comptroller of the Household. In 1967, he was again briefly a Commissioner of the Treasury before being appointed Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations. At that office, he was responsible for African affairs, and he advocated the admission of Asians expelled from Uganda into Britain. At the merger of the Foreign Office and Commonwealth Relations in 1968, he became Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Sent in 1969 to negotiate with the fledgling government of Anguilla, then seceding from Saint Kitts and Nevis, he was unceremoniously expelled from the country at gunpoint. The incident ended his ministerial career.
In 1983, he unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative Party candidate Richard Ottaway as part of Labour's national landslide defeat that year. The margin of defeat of 362 votes (0.8%) was less than the 1,184 votes gained by the Communist candidate John Peck.

## Early life and family

Williams was born in 1928 at Mohaka in the Hawke's Bay region. Of Māori descent, she was affiliated to the Ngāti Kahungunu iwi. She was raised by her grandparents until she was 12 years old, when her grandmother died. She then lived with her uncle, and then, from the age of 14, her mother. When she was 17, Williams moved to Wellington, finding work in a factory and living at the YWCA hostel on Oriental Parade.

## "Blue Smoke"

"Blue Smoke" was the first single to be locally recorded and manufactured in New Zealand, backed by the song "Señorita", and was also the first release on the local TANZA label. The A-side was written by Ruru Karaitiana whilst he was on board a troop ship during World War II, and was recorded in September and October 1948 for release in February the following year by the Ruru Karaitiana Quintette (sic) with Williams on vocals. It was number one on the New Zealand charts for six weeks and sold around 50,000 copies.
A self-taught singer, Williams was recommended to Karaitiana by his fiancée Joan, who had sung with her whilst staying at YWCA hostel in Wellington. She was to go on to sing on several more recordings during 1949 and 1950: "Bellbird Serenade" (backed by Jimmy Carter's Hawaiians), "Maori Rhythm" (backed by Alan Shand's Orchestra), and "Saddle Hill", as part of Ruru Karaitiana's Quavertones. The Quavertones were credited with "Let's Talk it Over" and "Windy City".

## Later life

In 1951, Williams went to Dunedin, where she met and married Irish-born John Edward "Paddy" Costello. The couple went on to have four children. Paddy Costello died in 2006, and Williams returned to live in Wellington.
In 2011, the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand recognised Williams with a triple platinum award for "Blue Smoke" and single platinum award for the song "Let's Talk it Over". The same year, a digitally remastered compilation of Williams' songs, For the Record: The Pixie Williams Collection, was released.
Williams died at a rest home and hospital in Upper Hutt on 2 August 2013. She had been suffering from dementia, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. After a funeral in Upper Hutt, Williams was buried with her husband at Green Park Cemetery in Waldronville, Dunedin.

# Cox site

The Cox site (15WD107) is a Middle Fort Ancient culture (1200 to 1400 CE) archaeological site located in Woodford County, Kentucky, in the Bluegrass region of the state. The site is located on a large ridge and is approximately 65 metres (213 ft) by 60 metres (200 ft), although there may be other unexplored sections to the north.
Not enough investigations at the site have happened for archaeologists to be able to determine the pattern, shape or layout of the proposed village site. The finding of shell tempered pottery and distinctive triangular-shaped arrowheads along with radiocarbon dates has allowed researchers to date the site. Two burials have been located at the site; however, one was a flexed burial found by the owner of the site and the other was an extended burial found by archaeologists during investigations.
