# Bryn Mawr Mainliners

The Bryn Mawr Mainliners is a men's a cappella chorus, based in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Chartered in 1963 as an official chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, the chorus is rich in both history and accomplishment.

## History

In 1963, some singers in the Philadelphia suburbs expressed an interest in starting a chorus that would dedicate itself to both musical excellence and community service. After choosing the suburb of Bryn Mawr as their initial location, the men incorporated as a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Bryn Mawr Mainliners chapter competes in the Atlantic Division of the Mid-Atlantic District of the Barbershop Harmony Society.
The Mainliners competed regularly and first won the Mid-Atlantic District championship in 1990 under the direction of Eric Jackson, earning the privilege of representing the district at the International contest the following summer in Louisville, Kentucky. In July 1991, in their first International contest appearance, the Mainliners earned a 6th-place finish.
After their first victory in 1991, the Mainliners again won the District Championship in 1991 and attended the International contest in 1992 in New Orleans under the direction of Bill Oppenheim placing 19th. The Mainliners again represented the Mid-Atlantic District on the International stage in 1997 in Indianapolis and placed 16th under the direction of Rick Serpico.

# Central News Agency (London)

The Central News Agency was a news distribution service founded as Central Press in 1863 by William Saunders and his brother-in-law, Edward Spender. In 1870–71, it adopted the name Central News Agency.
By undercutting its competitors, the Press Association and Reuters, and by distributing sensational and imaginative stories, it developed a reputation amongst newsmen for "underhand practices and stories of dubious veracity". In 1895, The Times directly accused the Central News Agency of embellishing its reports, and published a comparison between the original telegrams received by the agency and those that were distributed by it. A 200-word dispatch about a naval battle in the Far East had been expanded with details of the battle though hardly any information was given in the original. The agency confirmed that words had been added, and The Times declared that: "More than two-thirds of the message was, therefore, admittedly manufactured in London."
One of its sensational and probably invented stories involved the so-called "Dear Boss" letter, dated 25 September 1888, in which a figure calling himself "Jack the Ripper" claimed responsibility for the Whitechapel murders. Police officials later claimed to have identified a specific journalist as the author of both the "Dear Boss" letter and a later postcard called the "Saucy Jacky" postcard, also supposedly written by the killer. The journalist was named as "Tom Bullen" in a letter from one of the investigating inspectors to another journalist. "Tom Bullen" was almost certainly Thomas John Bulling, who worked for Central News and claimed to have received a third letter from the Ripper in a message to police in October 1888. "Jack the Ripper" was adopted as a name to refer to the murderer, and the international media frenzy, partly fed by Central News, bestowed enduring notoriety on the killer.
That story also helped establish CNA, forcing the Press Association and all newspapers wanting to use the letters to advertise the Agency. This was under the general management and later chairmanship of John Moore, who was said by at least one London journalist of the time to have been the origin of the story. Moore was also responsible for introducing the Wright-Moore Column Printing Telegraph machine, which printed telegraph messages in columns, rather than on a single-line tape. Moore was elected Chairman in 1891, having been General Manager since 1888. He retired in 1907, and was succeeded by Henry McAuliffe (later Sir), with John Gennings as Manager.

# Bedburn Beck

Bedburn Beck is a 16.8 kilometres (10.4 mi) long, upper tributary of the River Wear in County Durham, England. The beck and its tributaries, including the Euden, Harthorpe and South Grain becks, have a catchment of 76 square kilometres (29 sq mi), much of which is covered by the coniferous Hamsterley Forest.

## Course

Its headwaters rise on the high ground of Woodland Fell, where it is known as the Spurlswood Beck which flows in an easterly direction through a rocky gill of the same name. It then enters Hamsterley Forest, where it is joined by the Euden Beck and becomes known as the Bedburn Beck.
Passing beside the hamlet of Redford before being joined by the Ayhope or South Grain Beck, it then reaches the village of Bedburn where it is bridged by a minor road. Beyond the village it meets the Harthorpe Beck, before descending into the Wear valley between
Hamsterley and Witton-le-Wear.

## Hydrology

The flow of the beck has been measured at a gauging station in its lower reaches at Bedburn since 1959. The catchment to the station of 75 square kilometres (29 sq mi) measures 99% of the total catchment of the beck, and yields an average flow of 1.23 cubic metres per second (43 cu ft/s).
The highest river level recorded at the station occurred on the 17 July 2009, with a height of 2.31 metres (7 ft 7 in) and a flow of 79 cubic metres per second (2,800 cu ft/s).
The catchment has an average annual rainfall of 894 millimetres (35.2 in) and a maximum altitude of 533 metres (1,749 ft) near Pawlaw Pike at the western edge of the basin.
Land use within the basin is rural, consisting of moorland, grassland and the coniferous Hamsterley Forest.
# Bcepmuvirus

Bcepmuvirus is a genus of viruses in the class Caudoviricetes, not assigned to a subfamily. Bacteria serve as the natural host, with transmission achieved through passive diffusion. There are two species in this genus.

## Taxonomy

The following two species are assigned to the genus:
* Burkholderia virus BcepMu
* Burkholderia virus phiE255

## Structure

Bcepmuviruses are nonenveloped, with a head and tail. The head has an elongated icosahedral symmetry (T=13, Q=21).

## Genome

Both species have been fully sequenced and are available from ICTV. They range between 36k and 38k nucleotides, with 53 to 55 proteins. The complete genomes are available from here.

## Life cycle

The virus attaches to the host cell using its terminal fibers, and ejects the viral DNA into the host cytoplasm via contraction of its tail sheath. Once the viral genes have been replicated, the procapsid is assembled and packed. The tail is then assembled and the mature virions are released via lysis.

## History

According to the ICTV's 2010–11 report, the genus Bcepmuvirus was first accepted as a new genus, at the same time as both of its contained species. This proposal is available here.

# Before the Ring on Your Finger Turns Green

"Before the Ring on Your Finger Turns Green" is a song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, and recorded by American country music artist Dottie West. It was released in November 1965 as the first single from the album Suffer Time. The song became a top 40 chart single on the US country music chart.

## Background and recording

Dottie West recorded at RCA Victor records between 1963 and 1976. It was at RCA where she developed her musical persona as a recording artist known for singing with heavy emotion. Among her top ten singles were "Here Comes My Baby" (1964), "Would You Hold It Against Me" (1966) and "Paper Mansions" (1968). West also had a series of charting top 40 singles such as "Before the Ring on Your Finger Turns Green". It was composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, a husband and wife songwriting team known for writing many country singles of the era. The song was recorded on September 28, 1965 at RCA Victor Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The session was produced by Chet Atkins.

## Release, chart performance and critical reception

"Before the Ring on Your Finger Turns Green" was released as a single by RCA Victor in November 1965. It was backed on the B-side by the song "Wear Away". It was distributed as a seven-inch vinyl record. It was predicted by Billboard magazine that the single would reach the top ten of their country songs chart. The publication further described the track as a "clever rhythm ballad". When reviewing the compilation RCA Country Legends: Dottie West, Thom Jurek described the song as an "excellent side". Despite Billboard's prediction, the song only reached the top 40. It entered the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in late 1965. It reached the number 22 position on the chart in early 1966. It became West's seventh charting single and sixth top 40 single on the US Billboard country chart. It was then released on West's 1966 album Suffer Time and served as its lead single.
