The bock-a-da-bock is a musical instrument in the percussion family consisting of two small cymbals attached to each other by a set of metal tongs. They are typically played in a pair by one percussionist, much like the castanets. However, several other instruments of this type are also referred to as bock-a-da-bocks, such as the squash cymbal and the hand-sock cymbal.

Origin 
The predecessor of the bock-a-da-bock, the Ludwig Gladstone cymbal, was invented by Billy Gladstone and produced by the Ludwig Drum Company. Both the Ludwig Drum Company and their competitors elaborated upon Gladstone's design and produced a diversity of hand-held cymbals, including the bock-a-da-bock. The bock-a-da-bock is listed as a product of the Ludwig Drum Company in their 1928 catalog.

Technique and use 
The bock-a-da-bock is typically played in a pair like castanets, with one set of cymbals in each hand. There are other instruments like the bock-a-da-bock, such as the squash cymbal and hand-sock cymbal in the Ludwig Drum Company line. Though they are similar in construction, each are played differently. The hand-sock cymbal is mounted on spring loaded scissor tongs and is played by squeezing the tongs together. The squash cymbals, which are mounted on a simple fire tong, are held in one hand and hit with a drumstick in the other hand.

Due to recording limitations in the 1920s, the bock-a-da-bock was sometimes used as a substitute for a trap kit. As the trap kit developed into the modern drum kit around the 1930's, the bock-a-da-bock lost favor with the musicians of the time when compared to foot pedal operated hi-hats.

Players 
Noteworthy players of the bock-a-da-bock are Kaiser Marshall, who played it on several Fletcher Henderson records, and  Zutty Singleton from Louis Armstrong's Hot Five who played a bock-a-da-bock on Armstrong's 1928 recording of "Sugar Foot Strut" (featured prominently in the introduction and ending)  and "West End Blues".

Kita is a town and urban commune in western Mali.  The town is the capital of the Kita Cercle in the Kayes Region. It lies on the eastern slope of Mount Kita (Bambara: "Kita-kulu"), known for its caves and rock paintings.  Today, the town is known for its music, its annual Roman Catholic pilgrimage and its role as a processing center for the surrounding cotton- and peanut-growing region.  Kita lies on the Dakar-Niger Railway and is the largest transit hub between Bamako (112 miles) and Kayes (205 miles). In the 2018 census the urban commune had a population of 463,787.

In November 1955, Kita became a commune of average exercise. On March 2, 1966, Kita became a commune of full exercise. The town grew in the 1990s around the cotton industry, but this has since declined.

A fictionalized version of Kita features as the setting for Malian author Massa Makan Diabaté's "Kouta Trilogy" (Le lieutenant de Kouta, Le coiffeur de Kouta, and Le boucher de Kouta).

History

Name 
Kita proper has been called with different names throughout history. One of its earliest names was "Guénou Kourou".

However, a second name "Sediousaba" had been used for the small village, or rather an area in the town.

Birth & Settlements 
Two major settlements have been considered the birth of the town of Kita, however the order of these settlements are still subjects to debate. One of the settlements was attributed to the Tounkara traders from Ouagadou, the Ghana empire. Their chief, Diouna Tounkara, created "Sediousaba", which means "Three shea trees" as mentioned above. The second settlement was attributed to a Guinea trader, Siema Toloba Kamara, who created a village called "Fatali. Later, Siema Toloba Kamara and Diouna Tounkara allied with each other to form a new village called "Linguékoto".

Population 
In the Health Minister's 2018 census, Kita had a population of 463,787, while in 2020, the urban area of Kita counted 65,908.

Climate
Kita has a fairly dry tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) with a hot to sweltering and arid dry season from November to late May and a hot, steamy wet season from late May to October. There is negligible rain and very low humidity in the dry season, whilst in the wet season rainfall totals around  with oppressive and uncomfortable humidity.

Ángel García, nicknamed Cabeza de Perro (born 1800) was a Spanish pirate. His nickname, "Cabeza de Perro" translates to English as Dog Head.

Biography 
Ángel García was born in Igueste de San Andrés, Tenerife, Spain in 1800.

As a pirate he conducted his operations in the Caribbean and lived in the district of San Lázaro, in La Habana, Cuba. His vessel was the brig El Invencible, although he also had others such as El Audaz, which he captured after organizing the killing of her crew.

This ship traveled between Havana to New York. He killed all his crew, except for a woman and her son (or daughter, according to other sources), who had gone into hiding. When both were discovered by the pirate, he threw them into the sea. However, they were rescued by an Italian sailing ship. The woman related the event to the captain and he showed her a portrait of Cabeza de Perro, recognizing him as the author of the massacre.

In the following days, the pirate Cabeza de Perro could not stop thinking about that terrible scene and decided to abandon his pirate activity and return to his homeland to dedicate himself to agriculture.

After arriving in Tenerife, he was arrested at Castillo de Paso Alto in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where he was executed.

Historicity 
Currently it is believed that this pirate is only a character based on Amaro Pargo, since there are no real references either to his activities or to his execution in Tenerife. Yes, there was an offender in the 1920s who took that nickname.

Bracknell railway station serves the town of Bracknell in Berkshire, England. It is  down the line from .

The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by South Western Railway. It is on the Waterloo to Reading line.

History
The station was opened in 1856 by the Staines and Wokingham Railway which was taken over by the London and South Western Railway in 1878. British Railways closed the goods yard in 1969. The station was redeveloped in 1975, and the entrance is now under the Bracknell Quintiles building.

Services
Trains run between  and  every 30 minutes, seven days a week. On weekdays there are extra morning and evening peak time trains between Reading and London Waterloo, with one evening service from Reading terminating at .

Journey times to London Waterloo are around an hour, whilst to Reading it is 20 mins.

Bracknell bus station is next to the railway station.

Improvements
In 2008 work began to improve access for passengers with wheelchairs, baby-vehicles or bicycles. A new covered footbridge, with both staircases and lifts, was completed and opened in 2009. Before this, the only way to reach the "Down" (Reading-bound) platform was over the steps of the original footbridge at the London end of the platforms. This was a classic Southern Railway design with no roof, built of pre-cast concrete sections. It had also provided direct access from Crowthorne Road North, but this extra span had long been disconnected. Once the new bridge was opened, the old bridge was taken out of use and fenced off. It was demolished in May 2009.
In 2017 the platforms were extended to accommodate 10 to 12 car trains with the increase of passengers on the line

Jocelyn Marcel Guèvremont (born March 1, 1951) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played nine seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). He featured in the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals with the Buffalo Sabres.

He began his career as a distinguished junior ice hockey player, named to the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Second and First All-Star Teams in consecutive years and was awarded the Max Kaminsky Trophy in 1971 as the most outstanding defenceman in the OHA. He also won the 1969 and 1970 Memorial Cup. Drafted in the first round, third overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft, Guèvremont spent parts of his nine-year NHL career with the Canucks, the Buffalo Sabres, and the New York Rangers. He has also suited up for the Montreal Junior Canadiens of the OHA and the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Playing career
In his NHL career he played for the Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, and New York Rangers and retired in 1980 due to chronic shoulder problems. He was also a member of Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series.  As a Buffalo Sabre he was often the only defenceman on the powerplay due to their depth at right wing, which pushed Rene Robert back to the other point while Danny Gare lined up on the wing along with Gilbert Perreault and Rick Martin.  Although he was not a big goal scorer his hard slap shot resulted in many tip goals on the power play.  At full strength he often was paired with Bill Hajt.
