The men's points race, or “Course de Primes,” was a track cycling event at the 1900 Summer Olympics. The competition was held on 15 September 1900 at the Vélodrome de Vincennes. There were 13 competitors from 3 nations. The event was won by Enrico Brusoni of Italy, who won 5 of the laps including the last one. Karl Duill of Germany placed second, with Louis Trousselier of France third.

Background

This was the first appearance of the event. It would not be held again until 1984; after that, it was held every Summer Games until 2008 when it was removed from the programme. The women's version was held from 1996 through 2008.

Competition format

The competition was broadly similar to the modern points race, but with significant differences. The event was 5 kilometres in length, with points awarded at each lap (prime) to the first three cyclists to finish the lap: 3 to the first to finish the lap, 2 to the second, and 1 to the third. The cyclist with the most points was the victor. On the last lap, the points were tripled: 9 to the winner of the race, 6 to second place, and 3 to third place.

A single race was held, with all cyclists starting together.

Schedule

Results

The event was held on 15 September. Ferdinand Vasserot won the first lap, but failed to gain more than 1 more point the rest of the way. Enrico Brusoni won the second and third laps to move into the lead with 6 points, with Louis Trousselier behind him on both of those laps for 4 points and second place. J. Bérard was the fourth-lap winner, moving between Brusoni and Trousselier with 5 points. Brusoni won the fifth lap to increase his lead, 9 points to Bérard's 5 and Trousselier's 4.

The sixth and seventh laps went to Karl Duill, bringing him to 7 points and second place only 2 points behind Brusoni; Trousselier picked up 2 points on the sixth to stay in third place as Bérard dropped to fourth. The top three spots would not change again after that. Brusoni re-extended his lead on the eighth lap, winning it to place him at 12 points to Duill's 7. In the ninth lap, Trousselier won with Duill behind him; this brought them both to 9 points, only 3 points behind Brusoni. 

Brusoni finished strong, however, with a win on the triple-value final lap for 9 points to take the top overall score at 21 points. Neither Duill nor Trousselier was able to score on that final lap. Duill held a tie-breaker over Trousselier, taking second place. Chaput's second-place finish on the last lap brought him 1 point behind the medalists.

Anthonie Leemans (1631 in The Hague – 1673 in Amsterdam), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

Biography
According to Houbraken, who did not specify which brother he meant, he made a profitable living making trompe l'oeil paintings of hunting paraphernalia, birdcages, and weaponry.

According to the RKD he was the older brother of the painter Johannes Leemans, and both are known for still life paintings of hunting paraphernalia and vanitas pieces that became an influence on Christoffel Pierson for their popularity. Anthonie also painted a few Italianate landscapes with soldiers.

La Combattante (P730) ("The Fighter") was a fast patrol vessel of the French Navy. She was built in 1963 and was to be the prototype for a class of coastal patrol craft. La Combattante was operational in the French Navy from 1963 until 1985, when she was transferred to the French Coast Guard. She was discarded in 1994.

Design and construction
La Combattante was ordered from Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN), Cherbourg, on 5 December 1961. She was launched on 20 June 1963 and was completed in March 1964. La Combattante was built of laminated wood  and plastic, in order to have a small magnetic signature. She had an armament of one 40mm and two 12.7mm machine-guns, and a speed of 23 knots.

Her design inspired a series of similar vessels, including that of the Circé class coastal minehunters built by CMN in the 1990s, and the "La Combattante" type missile boats built by CMN for export.

Service history
La Combattante was commissioned on 1 March 1964, and saw service in France and overseas, in the French Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean territories. In the late 60's La Combattante was used as the launch vehicle for trials of the Aérospatiale's Exocet missile. Following the success of these, and the adoption of the Exocet by the French Navy, La Combattante was equipped with four SS11 launchers. 
In January 1985 La Combattante was transferred to the Maritime Gendarmerie, the French coastguard service; her missile launchers were removed, though she kept her gun armament.  
In 1994 La Combattante was stricken.

"The Conquered Banner" was one of the most popular of the post-Civil War Confederate poems. It was written by Father Abram Joseph Ryan, a Roman Catholic priest and Confederate Army chaplain. He has been called the "poet laureate of the postwar south" and "poet-priest of the Confederacy".

Background
The poem was first published on June 24, 1865, in the New York Freeman, a pro-Confederate, Roman Catholic newspaper. Ryan published it   under the pen-name "Moina". It made Father Ryan famous and this became one of the best-known poems of the post-war South, memorized and recited by generations of Southern schoolchildren.

Ryan told an interviewer that he wrote the Conquered Banner in Knoxville, Tennessee shortly after General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, "When my mind was engrossed with the thought of our dead soldiers and our dead Cause".

David O'Connell has described Conquered Banner as echoing Ralph Waldo Emerson's extremely popular 
"Concord Hymn" (1837). According to O'Connell, readers would have unconsciously have thought of Emerson's poem about "Concord" when Ryan used the word "conquered" and, by using Emerson's reference to a furled flag, Ryan would have enhanced the patriotic resonance his poem had among Southern readers brought up reciting Emerson's "Concord Hymn". 

The final verse reads:
Furl that banner, softly, slowly!
Treat it gently—it is holy--
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not—unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For its people's hopes are dead! 
 —The Conquered Banner.

This is interpreted as Ryan's statement that, however noble he and others thought the Confederate cause had been, the defeat was final, and the Confederate idea should be put away forever, along with the Confederate flag.

The poem was published again in the first issue of the Confederate Veteran in 1893. John McGreevy calls it the most popular Confederate poem in the post-Civil War years.

Attorney and Southerner Hannis Taylor wrote of the effect of Father Ryan's poem on readers sympathetic to the Confederacy: "Only those who lived in the South in that day, and passed under the spell of that mighty song, can properly estimate its power as it fell upon the victims of a fallen cause." The poem reached the height of its popularity between 1890 and 1920.

In 1941 Carl Van Doren included the poem in The Patriotic Anthology, writing that to omit Southern "expressions of patriotism" would be to "falsify the record and also impoverish it".

The Report of the Committee on Company Law Amendment (1945) Cm 6659, known best as the "Cohen Report" for short, was a company law reform committee appointed by the United Kingdom Coalition Government, during the Second World War. It was chaired by Lord Cohen.

Background
The Committee was appointed in June 1943 by Hugh Dalton, who later became Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Recommendations
This report recommended that shareholders be given a greater degree of control over directors, and led to CA 1948 s 184, then CA 1985 s 303, now CA 2006 s 168
This also recommended that payments to directors on retirement should be subject to company approval (para 92, then CA 1947, then s 192 CA 1948).
p 47 said ‘the suggestion that managing directors are paid excessive sums is, as a rule, unfounded’ but recommended disclosure of aggregate compensation of directors as a group, including payment for outside services.
p 50 expressed concern about directors buying and selling shares with inside knowledge of the company, but merely recommended publicity (cf s 16 Securities Exchange Act, s 17 Public Utility Holding Company Act)
p 51 recommended loans to directors be prohibited, except where companies are in the loan making business
p 50 rejects the suggestion that interested directors could vote on transactions in which they are interested, as being impracticable
It recommended abolition of the ultra vires rule, so every company has the capacity of a normal individual (this was done by the Companies Act 1989, now in CA 2006 s 40)
It proposed that the Board of Trade would be given power to litigate on behalf of shareholders across the country
para 126, twenty one days for annual meetings and meetings with special resolutions pending, fourteen days for others.

The Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS is a variable maximum aperture full-frame telephoto zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in 2016. Though designed for Sony's full frame E-mount cameras, the lens can be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount camera bodies.

The 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G lens is one of the least expensive G-series lens Sony makes, is popular among weight-sensitive landscape photographers, wildlife photographers, and hobbyists who want G-lens quality and the extra reach this lens has over its 70-200mm counterparts.

Given its unusually high 1:3 (0.31x) image reproduction ratio, the 70-300mm lens can be considered a pseudo-macro lens. Though designed for Sony's full frame E-mount cameras, the lens can be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount camera bodies, with an equivalent full-frame field-of-view of 105-450mm.

Build quality
The lens features a weather resistant matte black plastic exterior with the G-brand label and a rubber focus and zoom ring. The barrel of the lens telescopes outward from the main lens body as it's zoomed in from 70mm to 300mm.

On the side of the lens lies a set of four external controls for enabling image stabilization, limiting the focal range of the lens, and changing focusing modes. It also features an external focus hold button for locking in focus on a subject in motion.

Image quality
The lens is fairly sharp throughout its zoom range, with only a mild fall-off in acuity toward the edges of the frame at 300mm. Distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberration are all well controlled.
