# Alfred Blomfield

The Right Reverend Alfred Blomfield D.D. (31 August 1833 – 5 November 1894) was an Anglican bishop in the last decades of the 19th century.
Alfred was the youngest son of Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, and brother of architect Arthur Blomfield, children's writer Lucy Elizabeth Bather and Admiral Henry John Blomfield. He was educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford before being awarded a Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, where he gained his Bachelor of Arts (BA) in 1855 and his Oxford Master of Arts (MA Oxon) in 1857. From 1857, he was a Curate at Kidderminster, then its Vicar, having been ordained priest in 1858 (and presumably deacon the previous year). At Kidderminster, he initially served under Thomas Legh Claughton as vicar, who he would later work alongside as the first Bishop of St Albans.
After this, he held further incumbencies in St Philip's Stepney (1862–65), St Matthew's City Road (1865–71) in Islington, and Barking (1871-1882, under the patronage of his former college) becoming Archdeacon of Essex in the Diocese of St Albans (1878–1882). From there he moved to become Archdeacon of Colchester in the same diocese in 1882, an office which had previously been held by his father, and at the same time the first Bishop of Colchester (a suffragan bishop then in the Diocese of St Albans) in over 200 years, for twelve years until 1894. He was ordained (consecrated) a bishop (on which day he took up the See of Colchester) by Archibald Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury, on 24 June 1882 at St Albans Cathedral. He died in post, in Brentwood, Essex leaving a widow. His tomb lies in the north transept of St Alban's Cathedral. he had become a Doctor of Divinity honoris causa (DD) by his university days prior to his consecration. He was a Select Preacher at Oxford in 1869.
The National Portrait Gallery holds an 1883 Woodburytype photograph of Blomfield as Bishop of Colchester.

## Writing and publications

He wrote a posthumous memoir of his father, in 1863, and a collection of his sermons, titled Sermons in Town and Country, was published in 1871. While vicar at St Matthew's City Road, a paper he delivered in 1868 celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the church's foundation was also published. An opponent of higher criticism, he authored The Old Testament and The New Criticism in 1893 , a work of Biblical criticism refuting the scholarship of Professor Samuel Rolles Driver.
His sermons The Manifestation of the Spirit Given to Profit Withal and Christ the Light of the World were published in 1883 and 1884 respectively.
Blomfield's January 1872 letter to John Jackson, Bishop of London concerning the implications of the case Elphinstone v Purchas (later Hebbert v Purchas) in 1870-71 on ritualism in the Anglican church, was published with the title Episcopal Patronage and Clerical Liberty. In it, he argued that the Bishop had "taken up a position that must gravely embarrass your relations towards the entire body of High Churchmen".

It is dual carriageway standard again past Nelson Village, and joins the route of the A192 road for about 1 mile (1.6 km). It continues through the town of Bedlington where it meets the A193 road and beyond the town it has a junction with the A196 road (to Morpeth). It joins the route of the A197 road for about 1 mile (1.6 km) close to the town of Ashington. It re-emerges and heads in a north-easterly direction until it reaches the roundabout with the A189 road.

# Kristan von Hamle

Kristan von Hamle (or Christan von Hamle) was a Middle High German poet from Thuringia who flourished in the mid-thirteenth century. Nothing is known about his life or his family, as he has not been identified in any documentary record.
Six "pleasing", yet unoriginal songs of the Minnesang (courtly love) tradition are attributed to him. His main influences were Heinrich von Morungen, Walther von der Vogelweide and Gottfried von Neifen. All of his work is preserved in the Codex Manesse. There he is depicted in a barrel being winched up into a castle by a lady. The image is based on the legend of Virgil in the basket, although it may be that, unlike Virgil, Kristan actually reaches the lady's room.
The German philologist Jacob Grimm had, according to his own account from 1850, his first encounter with medieval German literature when in 1803 he picked up a copy of Johann Jakob Bodmer's Minnelieder in Karl von Savigny's library and opened it to the "poems in a curoius, barely comprehensible German" of Kristan von Hamle and Jakob von Wart [de].

# Earth Day 20 International Peace Climb

The Earth Day 20 International Peace Climb was an expedition to reach the summit of Mount Everest during Earth Week 1990 led by Jim Whittaker, the first American to climb Mount Everest (in 1963), envisioned by Warren Thompson, and marked the first time in history that mountaineers from the United States, Soviet Union and China had roped together to climb a mountain, let alone Mount Everest.
The expedition's name was from its partnership with the Earth Day 20 Foundation, an organization celebrating the 20th anniversary of Earth Day that was led by Edward Furia. The climbers highlighted their expedition with a live satellite phone call to President George H. W. Bush as well as to Furia, Earth Day 20 organizers and thousands of supporters gathered in George, Washington, near the Columbia River on April 22, 1990. Whittaker called from base camp to pledge his support for world peace and attention to environmental issues.
The group also collected over two tons of trash (transported down the mountain by support groups along the way) that was left behind on Mount Everest from previous climbing expeditions.

# Gallium(II) sulfide

Gallium(II) sulfide, GaS, is a chemical compound of gallium and sulfur. The normal form of gallium(II) sulfide as made from the elements has a hexagonal layer structure containing Ga$_2$$^{4+}$ units which have a Ga-Ga distance of 248pm. This layer structure is similar to GaTe, GaSe and InSe. An unusual metastable form, with a distorted wurtzite structure has been reported as being produced using MOCVD. The metal organic precursors were di-tert-butyl gallium dithiocarbamates, for example Ga$^t$Bu$_2$(S$_2$CNMe$_2$) and this was deposited onto GaAs. The structure of the GaS produced in this way is presumably Ga$^{2+}$ S$^{2−}$.
Single layers of gallium sulfide are dynamically stable two-dimensional semiconductors, in which the valence band has an inverted Mexican-hat shape, leading to a Lifshitz transition as the hole-doping is increased.
Gallium(II) sulfide demonstrates nonlinear optical activities, including second-harmonic generation and two-photon excited fluorescence.

# 71st Independent Mixed Brigade

The 71st Independent Mixed Brigade was an Imperial Japanese Army unit of World War II. It was formed in September 1944 to be used to reinforce Japanese forces in Borneo. Two of its four intended infantry battalions were never established.

## History

The 71st Independent Mixed Brigade (IMB) was established in September 1944 by the Southern Expeditionary Army Group as one of three such units formed that month to reinforce Japanese-held positions in French Indochina, Borneo and Burma. The 71st IMB was intended for service in Borneo, and was to be manned by personnel sent from Japan.
The main elements of the 71st IMB were to be the 538th, 539th, 540th and 541st Independent Infantry Battalions. The formation was to also comprise a brigade headquarters, signal unit, artillery unit and an engineer unit. This structure was the same as that used for most IMBs which came under the command of the Southern Expeditionary Army Group.
The 71st IMB was assigned to defend southern Borneo, as an element of the Thirty-Seventh Army. The disruption caused by the Philippines campaign affected the process of establishing the brigade there, and two of its infantry battalions and the brigade engineer unit were never formed.
