# Peter Pelham

Peter Pelham (/ˈpɛləm/; c. 1695 – December 1751) was an American portrait painter and engraver, born in England.

## London

Born c. 1695 in London, Pelham was one of several London artists who learned the then new technique of the mezzotint engraving. Of his use of the medium one writer has said: "Pelham handled the rocker heavily, and so gave to his prints a darker appearance than usual". His father, who died in Chichester, Sussex, in 1756, is revealed in letters to his son in America as a man of some property.
He was well trained as a portrait painter, and had influential connections, and between 1720 and 1726 he produced portrait plates of Queen Anne, George I, the Earl of Derby, Lord Wilmington, Lord Carteret, Lord Molesworth, Edmund Gibson, and others. Why, amidst such engagements, Pelham should have emigrated is mysterious, if, as seems quite certain, the poor schoolmaster, limner and engraver of Boston, Massachusetts, is identical with the well-employed mezzotinter of London. It is possible that he left in disgrace. His portrait of Massachusetts Governor Samuel Shute, painted at London in 1724, was brought, according to plausible family tradition, to Boston to serve as introduction to local celebrities.

## Boston

Though various dates for his emigration have been suggested, the record of Peter Pelham's activities at Boston is well established. His portrait of the Rev. Cotton Mather, now at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, was painted as copy for the very familiar mezzotint engraving, reproduced frequently. "Proposals" for printing this engraving were published in the Boston News-Letter on February 27, 1728. Portraits of several other New England clergymen followed. Pelham was seemingly intimate with John Smibert, who settled in Boston in 1730, for he painted Smibert's portrait and made several engravings after Smibert's works. Such professional labors did not produce a sufficient living for an ever-growing family, and Pelham opened a school at which he taught dancing, arithmetic, and other subjects. His first wife Martha dying in Boston, he married on October 15, 1734, Margaret Lowrey, and after her death he married, on May 22, 1748, Mary (Singleton) Copley, widow of Richard Copley, a recently deceased tobacconist originally from Limerick, Ireland. Their home, school, studio, and tobacco shop were on Queen Street (ca.1747) and Lindall Street. In this household were reared the future artists John Singleton Copley (son of Mary's first husband Richard Copley) and Henry Pelham. Peter Pelham died without a will.
Pelham's descendants included grandson William Pelham (1759-1827), a bookseller in Boston.

# Brookwood Hospital

Brookwood Hospital at Knaphill (near Woking) in Surrey, was established in 1867 by Surrey Quarter Sessions as the second County Asylum, the first being Springfield Asylum in Tooting (1840). A third asylum, Cane Hill Hospital at Coulsdon in the eastern part of the county, followed in 1882.

## History

The facility, which was designed by Charles Henry Howell, the principal asylum architect in England and architect to the Lunacy Commissioners and county surveyor for Surrey from 1860–1893, was opened as the Brookwood Asylum on 17 June 1867. It was the leading mental hospital for the western half of Surrey, occupying a large site at Knaphill, near Brookwood. The hospital had a dairy farm, a cobbler's workshop, a large ballroom, its own fire brigade, gasworks and sewage farm and employed the services of many local businesses. The chapel, which could seat 800, opened in 1903. The facility became known as Brookwood Hospital in 1919.
During the Second World War the hospital served as an emergency war hospital and it joined the National Health Service in 1948. A library and conference centre were built in 1967.
It was occupied by staff protesting about staff shortages in 1982. Only 420 were in post out of an establishment of 805. It eventually closed in 1994.
Since the hospital's closure the land has been sold off for development for housing, and the clock tower and the central building around it, which is listed, has been converted into luxury apartments. Several of the new residential roads were named after the old hospital wards. The hospital's chapel is now a Buddhist temple and the former mortuary now provides living accommodation for the temple's monks. A large two-storey building that was originally the hospital's social club has been converted and registered as a children's day care centre and nursery.

## Brookwood Hospital Archive

In 2002 a grant from the Wellcome Trust's Research Resources in Medical History grant scheme allowed a comprehensive catalogue of the historic archive of Brookwood Hospital to be made. This catalogue has made the archive available to researchers as a source for medical, social and local historians.
The preserved archive is very extensive and provides a detailed overview of the day-to-day running of Brookwood Hospital and of the medical care provided to its patients throughout its history. The records also show how the hospital operated as a self-contained community, employing patients with skills in cooking, cleaning and gardening, providing training workshops, a 12-acre (49,000 m$^2$) farm which provided food for both the hospital and for sale, and details of the entertainment provided for the residents.

# Swan Reach-Paskeville pipeline

The Swan Reach to Paskeville pipeline is a 189 km long pipeline to deliver treated water drawn from the River Murray upstream of Swan Reach to the Barossa Valley and Yorke Peninsula and places in between. It was originally constructed as the Swan Reach to Stockwell pipeline, but then extended across the Mid North to Paskeville. It was built in the 1960s. Water is treated at the inlet near Swan Reach.
There are three pumping stations to lift water from near sea level at Swan Reach to the highest point near Moculta in the Mount Lofty Ranges east of the northern Barossa Valley. The first pump station lifts water 156 metres (512 ft) from Swan Reach to tanks at Black and White Hills. The second lifts the water 125 metres (410 ft) to Towitta Tanks. The third lifts 121 metres (397 ft) to Moculta Tanks. Each pumping station has three or four pumps, and can pump up to 84.3 megalitres (2.98×10^$^6$ cu ft) per day. After 50 years of operation, the pumps and valves required upgrade and replacement.
As part of its upgrade to reduce energy costs, SA Water is installing solar farms next to many of its pump stations, including the first two on the Swan Reach to Stockwell pipeline. These solar farms will be operational in 2021.
# Sivagangai Seemai

Sivagangai Seemai (transl. The Land of Sivagangai) is a 1959 Indian Tamil-language historical drama film directed by K. Shankar and written by Kannadasan. Based on the life of the Maruthu Pandiyars, the film stars S. S. Rajendran, S. Varalakshmi, Kamala Lakshmanan and M. N. Rajam. It was released on 19 May 1959.

## Plot

After the execution of Veerapandiya Kattabomman on 16 October 1799 at Kayattar, Chinna Marudhu gave asylum to Kattabomman's brother Oomadurai. The British used this reason to invade and attack Sivaganga in 1801 with a powerful army. The Maruthu Pandiyars and their allies were quite successful and captured three districts from the British. The British considered it as a serious threat to their future in India that they rushed additional troops from Britain to put down the Maruthu Pandiyars' rebellion.

## Production

The film began production under the title Oomaiyan Kottai with M. G. Ramachandran starring, but it got shelved as Ramachandran was busy with politics. The same project was revived as Sivagangai Seemai. This was Kannadasan's second home production and he wrote the film's script.

## Soundtrack

The soundtrack features 16 songs composed by Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy. Lyrics were by Kannadasan. The song "Kanavu Kanden" is set in Mukhari raga.

## Release and reception

Sivagangai Seemai was released on 19 May 1959, delayed from April. Because the majority of male characters in the film had thick moustaches, the Tamil magazine Kumudam called it "Sivagangai Meesai", with "Meesai" meaning "moustache". Kanthan of Kalki said the film was not visually appealing, and overabundant with verbosity. The film was not a success, but because of its theme and historic content, it acquired cult status in later years.

# The Sleepers (San Francisco band)

The Sleepers was a San Francisco-based band, formed in 1978. They were one of the earliest punk bands in San Francisco, and later took on a darker, moodier post-punk sound before breaking up in 1981.
The band was made up of vocalist/lyricist Ricky Williams, guitarist Michael Belfer, bassist Paul Draper, and drummer Tim Mooney.

## Biography

The Sleepers formed in Palo Alto, California, in 1978. Michael Belfer had been trying to form a band with his friend, Tim Mooney, and Belfer had decided he wanted former Crime drummer Ricky Williams for vocals, as "he was so awesome looking". The band released a five-track 7-inch EP in late 1978, and then broke up, with Belfer playing in Tuxedomoon during 1978 and 1979, and Williams co-founding Flipper, from which he was fired before the band made any recordings "for being too weird".
In 1980, the band reformed and released a single, "Mirror"/"Theory", and an album, Painless Nights. The new lineup on the LP featured Brian MacLeod (drums), Ron MacLeod (bass), and Mike White (guitar/effects). Williams' abuse of speed led to erratic and violent behavior, which culminated in his passing out on stage on the second date of the group's East Coast tour at New York's Hurrah. The band broke up onstage after this incident.
Michael Belfer returned to college and graduated in composition and cultural studies. He played guitar and keyboards in Black Lab from 1996 to 1999. Michael Belfer died on March 20, 2022. Williams went on to handle vocals in Toiling Midgets, and later died of a heroin overdose at the age of 36 in 1992. Mooney, who later drummed for the bands American Music Club and Sun Kil Moon, died in June 2012.
