The flag of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was a defaced Blue Ensign. Centred in the fly of the flag was a depiction of the shield from the Federation's coat of arms. The rising sun is taken from the colonial arms of Nyasaland (now Malawi), the lion passant is taken from the arms of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and the black and white wavy lines is taken from the arms of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). In this form, it shows the Federation of all three British colonies which lasted from 1953 to 1963. This flag flew alongside the Union Jack for the duration of the existence of the Federation.

The BBC-Marconi Type A is a ribbon microphone that was produced by the BBC and Marconi between 1934 and 1959.  The microphone has been described as "iconic" and a symbol of the BBC.

History 

In the early 1930s, the BBC became aware of RCA's model 44 ribbon microphone that was used in Hollywood. Each pair of microphone and amplifier would have cost the BBC £130 (approximately £6,500 in 2009. because of inflation)). As this was not within the BBC's budget, they designed their own microphone, the Type A, alongside Marconi.  There were initial concerns that the new design infringed the patent of the RCA microphone, but these were overcome. The Type A was produced at a cost of £9 each (approximately £475 in 2009).

The original Type A microphone was designed by engineer F. W. Alexander under the guidance of H. L. Kirke's Research Department at the BBC.

In 1940, the Type A was used in the broadcast of Charles de Gaulle's 1940 appeals.

In the early 1950s, the BBC began to design the Type A's successor. The first model was the pressure gradient PGD design. In 1953, production began on the PGS (pressure gradient single) ribbon microphone in agreement with the company Standard Telephones and Cables (STC). In the mid-1970s, STC's manufacturing was transferred to Coles Electroacoustics, who continue to manufacture the PGS under the model number 4038.

Technical 
Four versions of the microphone were produced – the "A", "AX", "AXB", and "AXBT". The original microphone used a thick aluminium ribbon which produced a harsh resonance. This was soon replaced with a thinner ribbon, and was named Type AX. In 1943, the AXB model was launched, which featured balanced wiring. In 1944, the microphone was renamed the AXBT with the addition of a Ticonal magnet to increase sensitivity by 6 decibels. The AXBT weighed approximately .

The microphone had a figure-of-eight polar pattern. The aluminium ribbon was less than one micrometre thick.

Lil McClintock (June 5, 1883 - 1930s or 1940) was an American country blues songster who accompanied himself on acoustic guitar. Not much is known about McClintock's personal life, before or after he recorded four sides for Columbia Records. Interest in his recordings has been revived over the years, and they are prized by collectors.

McClintock worked as a street performer in Clinton, South Carolina, before he was tasked by manager of Cooper's Furniture Store, Burm Lessie, with accompanying another local musician, Blind Gussie Nesbitt, to record for Columbia Records. Unbeknownst to Lessie, he first encountered McClintock in 1923 when he wrote a ballad about Delia Holmes, an individual who gained some media attention for being murdered in a casino in Georgia. McClintock was commonly referred to as "Lil"; it has been speculated that this was either an abbreviation of little or a reference to his tall, thin figure.

After traveling by train, McClintock recorded two gospel numbers and two "coon songs" on December 4, 1930. The latter two compositions are in a musical subgenre that is seldom republished, because of its blatantly racist representations of black people. First among the pair was "Don't Think I'm Santa Claus", which has a refrain derived from minstrel shows and a rudimentary banjo-inspired accompaniment. Another song, "Furniture Man", played in a similar style, refers to black people as coons and advertises Cooper's Furniture Store in the process. In keeping with the minstrel-influenced qualities, McClintock addresses himself as "Mr. Brown" throughout the song. Both McClintock's and Nesbitt's recordings were issued in pressings of 750 copies in June 1931; McClintock fared better, as all four of his sides were released.

Following the recording session, McClintock completely disappeared from any documentation. His records have become some of the rarest and sought after items among collectors, with any surviving issues being in pristine condition. In 1986, all of his recordings were issued on the compilation album Atlanta Blues 1927–30: The Complete Recordings in Chronological Order of Julius Daniels and Lil McClintock, which includes McClintock's material with that of the guitarist Julius Daniels.

Ebertstraße is a street in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It runs on a roughly north-south line from the Brandenburg Gate to Potsdamer Platz in the centre of the city.

As one heads south down Ebertstraße, the Tiergarten, a large forested park, is to one's right, and the new United States Embassy to the left. Across the corner of Behrenstraße on the left is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Beyond that is the Ministergarten, which was once the gardens at the rear of the old Foreign Office building in Wilhelmstraße, and now the location of numerous modern office buildings. At the southern end of the street, past the corner of Lennéstraße on the right, is the new entertainment precinct around the rebuilt Potsdamer Platz.

The street follows the line of the walls of the mediaeval Prussian fortress town of Berlin, linking the Brandenburg Gate with the Potsdam Gate, which stood where Potsdamer Platz now is. After the demolition of the walls it was laid out as a street. Following the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, it was named Königgrätzer Straße in honour of the Prussian victory over Austria at the Battle of Königgrätz. After World War I, this name was considered unsuitably militaristic, and the street was renamed "Budapester Straße" (the street south of the Tiergarten now called Budapester Straße was at that time an eastwards continuation of the Kurfürstendamm). After the death of the first President of the Weimar Republic, Friedrich Ebert, in 1925, it was renamed Ebertstraße in 1930, but in 1935, under the Nazi regime, it was called Hermann-Göring-Straße, after Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, whose official residence was close by.

In the mid-1930s almost the entire street was dug up for the building of the S-Bahn "north-south link" line from Unter den Linden to Yorckstraße, via Potsdamer Platz and Anhalter Bahnhof. The idea for such a link had first been mooted in 1914, but detailed plans were not drawn up until 1928, and then approval had to wait until 1933. Construction began in 1934, but determination to have it finished in time for the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936 meant safety measures were ignored: on 20 August 1935 a tunnel collapse just south of the Brandenburg Gate buried twenty-three workmen of whom only four survived; then on 28 December 1936 a fire near Potsdamer Platz station destroyed vital equipment. The section did not finally open until 15 April 1939.

On 31 July 1947, after World War II, the street was renamed back to Ebertstraße. From 1961 to 1989 the Berlin Wall ran along most of its length.

Nooit Gedacht Heritage Hotel is a three-star heritage hotel in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka, at the base of Rumassala Kanda.

History
Nooit Gedacht, which means "never thought of", was built in 1735 as a country house for the Dutch Commandeur of Point de Galle, Casparus de Jong (Lord of Spanbroek). When he retired from his official position de Jong became a merchant, supplying spices to the Dutch East India Company but following the arrival of the British in 1796 the residence was purchased by a mudaliar from Unawatuna, who had served as an interpreter for the Dutch.

The house is on the site of the military camp established by the Dutch in March 1640, which was used as a base from which they laid siege to the Portuguese fort of Galle. The camp was selected due to its proximity to the initial landing site, a freshwater spring and for the protection offered by the overlooking mountain, Rumassala. The canal here was built by the Dutch, and it was used to transport spices and other items to warehouses in Galle Fort. Two watchtowers, similar to those found at the Galle Fort, were located on the boundary of the hotel's land, but they have since collapsed as a result of the blasting at the nearby stone quarry.

In 1942, during World War II, it was commandeered by the British Army and used as a logistics centre for the nearby Koggala Air Base. It was reclaimed by the original proprietors in 1948 and in 1981 it was converted into a private hotel.

Architecture 
The building has a Dutch-style facade with a long verandah flanked by a two storied Victorian-style edifice from British period. Inside the Dutch portion of the house has terracotta floors. In 2011 a modern two-storey extension to the hotel, with an additional swimming pool and bar was added for a cost of RS. 42 million, designed by Mangalanatha Architects.
