# Samuel Crowell

Samuel Crowell was a ship-captain and fur trader in the late 18th century on the Pacific Northwest Coast. Crowell was master of the Hancock, a brig owned by Messrs. Crowell, Joseph Cordis of Charlestown and Edward Jones of Boston, according to Boston Ship Registers (Mary Malloy) which left Boston in November 1790 and arrived on the Northwest Coast in July of the following year, spending a good time of the season trading in the area of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Crowell and his men built the first European-type vessel to be constructed on the Charlottes, a tender for the Hancock, doing so on Maast Island which lies off the native village of Masset. Crowell and his vessel are believed to have been the first non-indigenous vessel to penetrate Masset Sound. Crowell and the Hancock sailed to China in the fall of 1791 and, after selling her cargo of furs there, returned twice more to the Islands, in 1792 and 1793.
Crowell Rock, near Moresby Island in the southern Queen Charlottes, and Crowell Point, near Masset, are named after him. Hancock Point, also on southern Moresby, was named for his ship.

# TSR Olympia Wilhelmshaven

TSR Olympia Wilhelmshaven is a German sports club based in Wilhelmshaven, Lower Saxony, on the northwestern coast of the country. The football team was a department of the club which also offers its members American football, athletics, table tennis, and triathlon.

## History

Only a small local side, the footballers nonetheless played a half dozen seasons in the second division Regionalliga Nord through the early 1970s. They joined the newly formed 2. Bundesliga Nord for the 1974–75 season when a re-structured second division circuit was created from the best performing and most financially stable clubs of the era's five Regionalliga. A middling club at best in their old division, Wilhelmshaven finished 17th in the re-organized competition and was relegated to the tier III Amateur Oberliga Nord.
In 1992 the sports clubs TSR Olympia Wilhelmshaven and SV Wilhelmshaven merged for economic reasons. Olympia's football department withdrew to play in the local city circuit. In 2000 the German Football Association (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association) refused a proposed re-union with what was now known as SV Wilhelmshaven 92 which was struggling financially.
For the 2009/2010 season the football section of TSR Olympia left the club and joined the football section of WSSV Wilhelmshaven to form FC Olympia 09 Wilhelmshaven. Since then, football is no longer offered by TSR.

## Honours

The club's honours:
* Lower Saxony Cup
** Winners: 1960
* Amateurliga Niedersachsen-West
** Champions: 1956, 1964
# TT223

Karakhamun in hieroglyphs :
Era: New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC) :
Theban Tomb TT223 is located in South El-Assasif. It forms part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The site is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Karakhamun. It was first discovered in 1820 by Wilkinson, Hey and Burton, then by Lepsius, it was reopened in 2001.
The tomb consists of a court and a pillared hall. A scene from the court depicting Karakhamun adoring deities Re-Harakhti and Nut, with an adjoining scene showing a lion-headed goddess is now in the Berlin Museum (2110). The pillared hall contains among others an opening of the mouth ceremony scene and men making offerings before Karakhamun. A brother named Esamenopet was depicted in the tomb.
TT223 is not open to the public, as of 8 May 2004.
# TT226

Heqareshu in hieroglyphs :
Era: New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC) :
The Theban Tomb TT226 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Heqareshu (Hekreshu), who was an Overseer of the King's Tutors during the reign of Tuthmosis IV in the Eighteenth Dynasty.
In TT226 Heqareshu is depicted with four royal sons, including princes whose names have been reconstructed as Akheperre and Akheperure. Davies had suggested that Heqareshu was a tutor to the sons of Amenhotep III, but Newberry shows that these princes are sons of Tuthmosis IV. Pharaoh Amenhotep III is depicted in TT226 with his mother Queen Mutemwia, showing that Heqareshu died sometime during the (early) reign of Amenhotep III.
In TT64 (the tomb of Hekerneheh) Heqareshu is shown with a prince named Tuthmosis-Kakau (the future Tuthmosis IV) on his lap. Heqareshu is given the title Tutor of the king's eldest son Tuthmosis-Kha'kha'w.

# Samuel of Waldebba

Samuel of Waldebba (Ge'ez ሳሙኤል ዘሀገረ ወልድባ) was a late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century Ethiopian saint of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. He is considered the founder of Waldebba Monastery in northern Ethiopia and is one of Ethiopia's most prominent saints.

## Life

The Gadle Samuel hagiography, written in the fifteenth century and with both long and short versions, states that he was born in Aksum and had a brother. His mother left her husband to become a nun and Samuel followed her example by refusing to marry. He went to the monastery called Däbrä Bänkʷal, where he became a monk. After his father died, he became a coenobitic monk, living alone in the wilderness among the wild beasts. He tamed lions and performed many miracles. He walked through water without his book getting wet and Saint Michael flew him through the air to visit Jerusalem. He was an extreme ascetic; for instance, standing in a pit praying for months, wearing sackcloth, and not eating for forty days. He is said to have died at the age of 100.
Stories about Samuel also appear in the Ethiopian Miracles of Mary.

## Illuminations

The saint is a popular subject of painting. as shown by this image of him riding a lion in the British Library Oriental manuscript 590.
