Thomas Elsdon Ashford (1859 – 21 February 1913) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Early life
He was born in 1859 at 2 Peck's Cottage, All Saints, Newmarket, Suffolk, the illegitimate son of Thomas Ashford, a boot maker and Emma Elsdon. Thomas joined the Army at Woolwich for the 49th Brigade on 12 June 1877.

The VC action
He was about 21 years old, and a private in The Royal Fusiliers, British Army during the Second Anglo-Afghan War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 16 August 1880 at Deh Khoja, near Kandahar, Afghanistan, Private Ashford assisted Lieutenant William St. Lucien Chase in rescuing and carrying for a distance of over 200 yards under the fire of the enemy, a wounded soldier who had taken shelter in a block-house and finally brought the wounded man to a place of safety. His citation read:

After his military service, Ashford settled in Thringstone, Leicestershire and served as a postman for many years. He was married in Thringstone Church to Betsy Ann Sisson on 29 January 1891. He later moved to the neighbouring village of Whitwick and died on 13 February 1913. He was laid to rest in Whitwick Cemetery, in the presence of thousands of mourners, though the grave lay unmarked for many years, until a monument was provided by the local British Legion. Three streets in Whitwick have since been named in his honour.

The Medal
His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Fusiliers Museum in the Tower of London.

Robert Neil DeArmond (September 29, 1911 – November 26, 2010) was an American historian who specialized in the history of Alaska, especially the Alaska Panhandle. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, DeArmond wrote several historical columns for southeast Alaska publications; these included Days of Yore, Gastineau Bygones, and News of the Gold Camp. He lived in Sitka, Alaska, and continued to write until his death.

Early life and education
DeArmond was born in Sitka, Alaska and raised there and in Tacoma, Washington. He graduated from Stadium High School in 1930. He worked in a salmon cannery in the summer of 1930, and later received a reporting job for the Stroller's Weekly in Juneau. In 1931, he traveled by rowboat from Sitka to Tacoma; DeArmond wrote a book about his travel, A Voyage in a Dory, in 1999. He spent a year at the University of Oregon. At age 15, he contributed a design for the flag of Alaska contest in 1927; it is housed in the Alaska State Museum.

Career
DeArmond returned to Sitka after college. There, he worked in the fishing industry for 12 years. In 1938 he helped found the city of Pelican, Alaska, where he served as a storekeeper and the postmaster. The DeArmond family moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, in 1944, and Robert returned to journalism. He worked for the Ketchikan Daily News, the Juneau Empire and other publications in covering the Alaska Territorial Legislature. DeArmond was a prolific history writer for regional publications. Over 700 of his columns were put in the online Digital Bob project, sponsored by the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, beginning in 2004.

DeArmond worked for territorial governor B. Frank Heintzleman in the 1950s and lived in Juneau during this time.

Family
He was married to artist Dale DeArmond née Burlison, who died on November 21, 2006. They married in 1935 and had two children, William and Jane. DeArmond died on November 26, 2010 in Sitka, Alaska.

The Siddeley-Deasy Sinaia, also known as the Armstrong Whitworth Sinaia was a twin-engined biplane day bomber with gunners in rearwards extensions of the engine nacelles.  Two examples were ordered by the Air Ministry but only one was completed.

Development
The Sinaia was the third and last aircraft design produced by the team led by John Lloyd and F. M. Green at Siddeley-Deasy before they were rebadged by merger as the Sir W. G. Armstrong Aircraft Company. Indeed, by the time it flew in 1921 this change had taken effect.  It was designed to meet an Air Ministry requirement for a day bomber.  A large twin-engined biplane, its most interesting feature was the arrangement of the defensive armament.  The Sinaia's engines were in nacelles mounted on the top of the lower wings and these nacelles were extended rearwards and upwards.  Each extension housed a gunner's cockpit at its extremity, fitted with a gun ring.  From these positions the gunners would have been able to defend both sides of the bomber independently.

The Sinaia was a three bay (with struts to the upper wings from the engine nacelles) biplane.  The wings carried no stagger and were of equal span, though the lower wing was narrower. There were horn balanced ailerons on all wings.  The empennage was of biplane configuration with a balanced elevator on the upper plane and containing three balanced rudders.  The square section fuselage placed the pilot's cockpit well forward of the engines and a third gunner's position in the extreme, slanted nose.  A two-wheeled main undercarriage unit was mounted under each engine.

The Sinaia was powered by two 500 hp Siddeley Tiger water-cooled engines, a new V-12 design produced by combining two straight-6 Siddeley Pumas onto a single crankshaft. Unsurprisingly this little-tested powerplant proved unreliable and frequent problems with it interrupted the flight trials of the Sinaia, which flew for the first time on 25 June 1921.  By October the airframe was showing signs of structural problems and the only Sinaia ever built was taken out of use.

Chile competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. 

Chilean Olympic Committee (, COCH) sent a total of 22 athletes to the Games, 16 men and 6 women, to compete in 11 sports; the nation's team size was roughly smaller from Sydney by almost half of the athletes, due to the absence of the men's football team. Six Chilean athletes had previously competed in Sydney, including tennis star and top medal favorite Nicolás Massú. Long-distance freestyle swimmer and Pan American Games bronze medalist Kristel Köbrich set a historic milestone as the nation's first ever female flag bearer in the opening ceremony, wearing and parading with a traditional Chilean costume.

Chile left Athens with a remarkable historic milestone from tennis players Nicolás Massú and Fernando González, as they picked up the grand slam Olympic title for the Chilean team in the men's doubles tournament. While Gonzalez collected a bronze in his match against U.S. tennis player Taylor Dent, Massu summoned his strength to defeat Dent's teammate Mardy Fish with a striking effort to complete the Chilean party on the Olympic tennis court, and most significantly, to snatch his second gold medal in the men's singles.

Anatole von Hügel (29 September 1854, in Florence – 15 August 1928, in Cambridge) was the second son of the Austrian nobleman.

Early life 
Born into the German noble House of Hügel, he was the son of Baron Charles von Hügel and his Scottish wife Elizabeth Farquharson. His elder brother was Friedrich von Hügel and his sister was Pauline von Hügel.

Biography 
His family moved to England in 1867 after his father's retirement, and he was educated at Stonyhurst College. From 1874 to 1878 he collected natural history specimens in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, and Java. He became an authority of Fiji, after his lengthy travels in the practically unknown interior of Viti Levu to record the original Fijian culture before the British colonization.

In 1880 he married Eliza Margaret Froude, daughter of William Froude and in 1883 he became the first curator of the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. He remained curator until 1921, raising funds for the new building. In 1889 he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge and received an MA. Hügel was founder and first president (1895 to 1922) of the Cambridge University Catholic Association, and would go on to co-found St Edmund's College, Cambridge with Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk. There is a memorial plaque to Baron Anatole von Hügel on the wall in the St John Fisher chapel of the Catholic Church in Cambridge (Our Lady & English Martyrs, Lensfield Road, Cambridge). He was buried in Cambridge Cemetery on 20 August 1928, as was his wife, a member of the Cambridge Ladies Dining Society with 11 other members.

Hügel privately published a biography of his father in 1903.

The S type carriage stock was a type of steel passenger carriage operated by the New South Wales Government Railways from 1935 until 1989.

History
Between 1935 and 1937, Clyde Engineering built 35 first class BS carriages with 42 seats and 86 second class FS side corridor carriages with 64 seats at its Granville factory.

Over the years, they operated on services from express passenger and mail trains to branch line services. Withdrawals commenced in the 1970s but some lasted until the late 1980s on mail trains to Dubbo, Moree and Tenterfield and Interurban services to Newcastle, Bathurst, Goulburn and Bomaderry.

During the period spanning 1974 to 1982, eight were gutted internally and fitted with suburban throw over seating and Beclawat windows for use on interurban services. These received the IFS and MFS classifications. As at June 1986, 32 remained in service with the State Rail Authority.

Surviving S type cars

Preservation
Many were sold to preservation organisations with East Coast Heritage Rail, Canberra Railway Museum, Lachlan Valley Railway and New South Wales Rail Transport Museum (now NSW Rail Museum) all having operational examples. Four were purchased by Hamersley Iron in Western Australia for use with their preserved British steam locomotive 4079 Pendennis Castle.

Peter Cantor (died 1197), also known as Peter the Chanter or by his Latin name Petrus Cantor,  was a French Roman Catholic theologian. He received his education at Rheims, and later moved on to Paris, where, in 1183, he became Chanter (hence his name) at Notre Dame. Charters show Petrus Cantor as a man active in hearing cases, witnessing documents and participating in the business of the chapter of Notre Dame.
Petrus was elected dean at Reims in 1196, but died in the following year in the Longpont Abbey, some time after 29 January 1197. He commented on Old Testament and New Testament books. His work on the sacrament of penance is especially noteworthy. His work reflects Scholastic perspectives.

Medievalist Jacques Le Goff cites Cantor when locating the "birth of purgatory" in the 12th century, based on Cantor's use of the term purgatorium as a noun in 1170. John Baldwin's extensive study of Peter the Chanter and his circle underlines their social doctrines. Their teachings influenced the theological program of the Fourth Lateran Council.

Bibliography 
A group of Petrus' questions on the sacraments was compiled and published by Jean-Albert Dugauquier; see Summa De Sacramentis et Animae Consiliis, Louvain, Louvain University Press, 1954–1957.
Petrus Cantor wrote the book Verbum Abbreviatum which was edited by Georgius Galopinus and published in 1639. This work has been edited in the series Corpus Christianorum.
