Donald Steele Potter (21 April 1902 – 7 June 2004) was an English sculptor, wood carver, potter and teacher.

Don Potter was born in Newington, near Sittingbourne, Kent, the son of a school teacher, and attended a private school. He joined the Wolf Cubs at the age of eight and became a keen participant in the scouting movement.

Career

Potter developed as a woodcarver, producing totem poles, gates and gateways. By the time Potter reached the age of twenty, the head of the Scouts, Baden-Powell himself, realized he was an expert craftsman. Potter camped at Baden-Powell's house at Pax Hill near Bentley, Hampshire and undertook carving commissions for him. He used very old local fallen oaks, said to be 1,200 years old. For the 1929 World Jamboree, Potter designed totem poles for the British Dominions of Australia, Canada, India, South Africa and New Zealand. A granite statue of Baden-Powell by Potter in 1960 is now located in front of Baden-Powell House in London.

As well as wood carving, Potter started to work in stone as well and met Jacob Epstein (who had studied with Auguste Rodin in Paris). In 1931, he approached Eric Gill and asked to study under him. Gill was an engraver, designer of typefaces and sculptor, with carvings in Westminster Cathedral. Initially, Potter was on a six-month trial, but he remained as Gill's pupil for six years. He worked with Gill on sculptures at the Midland Hotel, Morecambe. While with Gill, he undertook wood carving, including the panels for the doors for the Rare Books Room of 1934 in the Radcliffe Science Library (University of Oxford), the crucifixion for the altar of the St Peter the Apostle church (Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk), and a crucifix in the woods at Pigotts where Gill was based near High Wycombe.

In addition to being a sculptor, Potter spent his later career as a teacher at Bryanston School in Dorset (1940–1984), responsible for both sculpture and pottery. During World War II, Sir Terence Conran was inspired by him as one of his pupils. Potter continued to undertake commissions during his time as a teacher, including some for the School. For instance, examples of stone carvings undertaken by him in 1991 can be seen at a local church in the village of Durweston.

The porch of Our Lady of Grace and St Teresa of Avila RC Church in Chingford has oak panels depicting animals and fish that Potter carved in 1956. A major work was the granite statue of Robert Baden-Powell (1960–61), located outside Baden-Powell House in Queen's Gate, South Kensington, London.

The Don Potter Art School at Bryanston School, opened during October 1997 in his presence, is named after him.

The Island Explorer is a seasonal bus system that provides fare-free transportation on and near Mount Desert Island in the U.S. state of Maine. It is operated by Downeast Transportation, and largely intended to serve visitors to Acadia National Park as a means to reduce area traffic within the park and in area communities, including the Schoodic Peninsula.  It typically runs from mid-June through the beginning of October, departing from Kennebec Street, to the west of Bar Harbor's Village Green. Operations began in 1999, and in 2019 the service carried over 647,000 passengers.

Operations 
The service began operations in 1999. Regular operations are funded from a variety of sources, including a dedicated portion of Acadia National Park entrance fees from the National Park Service, the Maine Department of Transportation, L.L. Bean, municipal governments, the group Friends of Acadia, as well as local businesses directly served by the service. L.L. Bean's contribution totals $4 million since 2002.   To reduce pollution, the bus fleet is powered by propane.  21 new buses were purchased in 2019 to replace a portion of the fleet of 36, the purchase funded by the National Park Service and State of Maine.  The service also has four vans and two bicycle trailers.  The service typically hires 110 drivers a year. Buses carry 30 seated and 13 standing passengers. 

Service is typically offered from June 23 through the beginning of October, with service on the Schoodic Peninsula beginning slightly earlier on Memorial Day.   Since 1999, the service has carried 7.7 million passengers.  It has prevented 41 tons of smog-causing pollutants and 27,000 tons of greenhouse gases from being released.

COVID-19 
The service was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the difficulty of complying with social distancing measures imposed by the State of Maine.  Those measures would have limited bus capacity to 12 people.    Downeast Transportation, the operator, plans to resume limited service on fewer routes in 2021. Capacity will be limited to 12 people with every other row of seats vacant and only the members of the same group permitted to sit in the same row.

The Battle of Potrero Obella was a battle between a Paraguayan Army of 300 against 5,000 Brazilians. Although the Paraguayans took heavy losses, they inflicted 395 casualties (85 killed, 310 wounded) on the Brazilians.

Brazilian Gen. Barreto was sent from Villa del Pillar to capture Tayi on the River Paraguay, and Potrero Ovello on 27 October 1867.  This would enable a Brazilian blockade of the Paraguayan garrisons.  After their defeat on 28 Oct., the surviving Paraguayans made their way back to Humaita.

Claim Jumper is a video game written by Gray Chang for the Atari 8-bit family and published by Synapse Software in 1982. It is primarily designed as a two-player competitive game, but includes a separate shoot 'em up mode for either one or two players.

Gameplay
Claim Jumper is a game in which the player is a cowboy collecting gold bars.

Development
Gray Chang previously wrote the two-player competitive game Dog Daze for the Atari Program Exchange. After Claim Jumper he designed two more games for two simultaneous players: Dog Daze Deluxe and Bumpomov's Dogs.

Chang kept a notebook while writing Claim Jumper which contains nearly 200 pages of code, flowcharts, technical details, and graph paper sketches of the game art.

Reception
Allen Doum reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The graphics and animation in Claim Jumper are very good but, while there are sound cues for most game actions, the sounds are not very imaginative. There aren't many interactively competitive two player arcade-style games, so it is nice to see a company like Synapse release a game like Claim Jumper which fills that need so nicely."

Samuel Turner (died c. 1647) was an English physician and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1625 and 1644. He fought on the Royalist side during the English Civil War.

Turner was the elder son of the physician and Puritan Member of Parliament Peter Turner, and was the brother of the mathematician Peter Turner. He was educated at St Mary Hall, Oxford being awarded BA in 1602 and at St Alban Hall, Oxford being awarded MA in 1604. He was made a Doctor of Medicine at the University of Padua in 1611.

In 1625 Turner was elected Member of Parliament for Shaftesbury. He immediately made himself prominent with attacks on the Duke of Buckingham, calling him "the cause of all their grievances" and declaring that it was unfit that he should hold so many great offices. His speeches so angered King Charles that the King sent a letter to the House demanding justice. When the House ordered Turner to explain his words he did so by letter without appearing in person, and illness - perhaps diplomatic - prevented him taking his seat again before Parliament was dissolved.

Turner was next chosen to represent Shaftesbury in the Short Parliament  as a replacement for Edward Hyde, who had been elected for more than one constituency). He was re-elected MP for Shaftesbury in the Long Parliament in November 1640. Turner, unlike his father, took the side of the King and his ministers rather than against them. He was one of the minority who voted against Strafford's attainder, and when the Civil War broke out immediately joined the Royal army and was commissioned as a captain. He led a Royalist force to victory over the Parliamentarians in a skirmish near Henley-on-Thames in 1643. He was disabled  from sitting in the Commons for his Royalist sympathies in 1644, and sat in the King's Oxford Parliament when it met later that year.

The Oxford antiquary Anthony Wood described Turner as "a man of very loose principles", though this probably referred only to the fact that he had an illegitimate son. He died in about 1647.
