St Mary's Church in Handsworth, South Yorkshire, is a Church of England parish church about  east of the centre of Sheffield, England.

History
St Mary's was originally a Norman church built in about 1170. It was founded by the Norman lord, William de Lovetot, or his father Richard, and the foundations were planned by William Paynel.

In the 1220s St Katherine's Chapel was added, probably for Maud de Lovetot, for prayer and Mass to be offered for the soul of her husband Gerard de Furnival, and perhaps their son, Thomas de Furnival who died on a crusade to Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

By 1472 the Fabric Rolls of York reported that the church was ruinous, but in the process of being rebuilt. It was successive Earls of Shrewsbury who had much of the damage repaired in the Tudor era.

Lightning struck the church spire in 1698. The new steeple subsequently built to replace it was much smaller and became known as "the Handsworth stump". In the 1820s the "stump" was demolished and a new tower erected. Lightning struck the tower again in January 1978, this time causing less damage. The spire, and the clock and bell tower were extensively repaired in 2002.

Simon Foliot, the first Rector, had two assistants and by 1535 there were five. The assistants lost their livings in the English Reformation.

The west tower has a ring of eight bells. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough, Leicestershire re-cast and re-hung all eight bells in 1920. There is also a service bell, which was cast in 1590 by Henry II Oldfield of Nottingham.

The church is a Grade II listed building.

Rectory
The Tudor rectory was where the Parish Centre is now. It was originally a timber-framed building. In the late 17th or early 18th century, a larger and more modern rectory was built near the chancel of the church. Shortly afterward a wing complementary to the east wing was built.

Little of the Tudor rectory survives, but parts were incorporated into the new building. A section of the straw and daub wall survives in the current museum, as does an oak tree post in the current reception hall.

All the pre-Georgian outhouses, except the coach house and stable block, were demolished. The coach house and stable block were modernised in the Victorian era.

Chantry Inn
Immediately north of St Mary's church is the Chantry Inn. This was built in the mid-13th century as a church house for the chaplains and lay clerks attached to St Mary's. After the Reformation, the house was turned into a school. In about 1804 it became licensed as a public house.

Registers

Parish registers of baptisms, marriages and funerals at St Mary's survive from 1558 onwards. The registers are continuous until 1836, when a new system of registration was introduced.

Vectipelta (meaning "Isle of Wight shield")  is an extinct genus of ankylosaurian dinosaur recovered from the Early Cretaceous Wessex Formation of England. The genus contains a single species, V. barretti, known from a partial skeleton including several osteoderms. It was historically known as the "Spearpoint ankylosaur" prior to its description.

Discovery and naming 

The Vectipelta holotype specimens, IWCMS 1996.153 and IWCMS 2021.75, were discovered in November 1993 (nine vertebrae by Gavin Leng) and March 1994 (by Lin Spearpoint) in sediments of the Wessex Formation near Chilton Chine on the Isle of Wight, England. The holotype consists of a partial skeleton including many cervical, dorsal, sacral, and caudal vertebrae, partial pectoral and pelvic girdles, elements of the fore- and hindlimbs, and several osteoderms. At first the remains were assigned to Polacanthus.

The fossil material was initially described in a PhD thesis by Thomas J. Raven and concluded to represent a new taxon in 2021. A May 2023 study proposing a paraphyletic Nodosauridae included the "Spearpoint ankylosaur" in its phylogenetic dataset, although it was given the placeholder name "Polywotsit" in the supplementary information. 

In June 2023, Pond et al. described Vectipelta barretti as a new genus and species of ankylosaurian based on these fossil remains. The generic name, "Vectipelta", is derived from "Vectis", the Roman name for the Isle of Wight. The specific name, "barretti", honours palaeontologist Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum.

Vectipelta is the first ankylosaur identified from the Isle of Wight in 142 years, suggesting that the myriad of specimens previously assigned to Polacanthus and Hylaeosaurus may actually represent multiple taxa.

Classification 
Pond et al. (2023) recovered Vectipelta as the sister taxon to a clade formed by Dongyangopelta and Zhejiangosaurus (with this clade being sister to Ankylosauridae, and the traditional Nodosauridae recovered as paraphyletic). It is only distantly related to Polacanthus and Hylaeosaurus, which have also been found in the Wealden Group. The results of their phylogenetic analyses are shown in the cladogram below, with Wealden Group ankylosaurs highlighted:

Ecology 
The Wessex Formation spans a considerable period of time of probably several million years, and therefore not all animals known from the formation are likely to have been contemporaneous. Vectipelta is likely millions of years older than Polacanthus.

De Wachter (English: The Watchman) is a smock mill in Zuidlaren, Drenthe, which has been restored to working order. The mill was built in 1851 and is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 41064.

History
De Wachter was built in 1851 for the Van Bon family as a corn mill and oil mill. In 1895, the mill was bought by Jan Medendorp, who installed two steam engines as auxiliary power in 1898. The engines were . One steam engine drove an electricity generator while the other was used to power a spice mill. The windmill remaining independent of the auxiliary power. In 1935, the oil mill and spice mill ceased to be used and were dismantled, as were the steam engines. In 1950, Diek Medendorp, the grandson of Jan, decided to close the windmill. Plans were made to preserve the mill, including the restoration of the steam engines. The mill was declared a Rijksmonument by the Ministerie van Cultuur, Recreatie en Maatschappelijk Werk. Between 1968 and 1970 the mill was restored by Diek Medendorp. From 1987, the rest of the mill complex was also restored and in 1989 the mill was transferred into the ownership of the Stichting Koren en Oliemolen De Wachter. The mill complex houses a bakery, a blacksmith's workshop, a butcher's shop, a clog maker's workshop, a grocer's shop, a millwright's workshop and a spice mill. Four steam engines are kept in working order. There is also a waggon maker's workshop. These are all presented as they would have appeared in 1895.

Description

De Wachter is what the Dutch describe as an "achtkante stellingmolen". It is a three-storey smock mill on a four-storey brick base. The stage is at third-floor level,  above ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by a tailpole and winch. The four common sails have a span of . They have leading edges streamlined on the Fauël system. The sails are carried in a cast-iron windshaft which was cast by De Muinck Keizer, Martenshoek in 1904. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 63 cogs. This drives the wallower (33 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the great spur wheel, which has 89 cogs, drives the  diameter Cullen stones via a lantern pinion stone nut with 33 staves and the  diameter French Burr stones via a lantern pinion stone nut with 29 staves. A pair of edge runner stones are driven via a lantern pinion stone nut with 29 staves.

Artern (Kreis Artern) was a Kreis (district) in the Bezirk (district)  of Halle in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). From 1990 to 1994 it persisted as Landkreis Artern in the state of Thüringen. It occupied land that is for the most part modern Kyffhäuserkreis in Thüringen.

History
In 1952, the GDR undertook comprehensive reform in the division of its districts. Artern was formed out of the remaining part of the Landkreis (rural district) that had existed before the reform and was assigned to the newly formed Bezirk of Halle. 

After the reunification of Germany, in 1990 Artern was assigned to the state of Thüringen, which had once again been founded, and through the districting reforms of the reunified Germany was included in Kyffhäuserkreis and in Sömmerda (district).

Geography
Artern, which lay in the Kyffhäuser, is traversed by the Helme and Unstrut. The largest settled areas near the district capital Artern were the cities Bad Frankenhausen, Heldrungen, and Wiehe and the parish of Roßleben. Other neighboring settled areas included the parishes of Bilzingsleben, Borxleben, Bottendorf, Bretleben, Donndorf, Esperstedt. Gehofen, Gorsleben, Hauteroda, Heygendorf, Ichstedt, Kalbsrieth, Kannawurf, Nausitz, Oberheldrungen, Reinsdorf, Ringleben Schönewerda, and Voigtstedt.

The Battle of Walla Walla was the longest battle fought during the Yakima War. The battle began on December 7, 1855, and ended on December 11, 1855. The battle was fought between six companies of the Oregon Mounted Volunteers and the Walla Walla. Fighting alongside the Walla Walla were members of several different tribes, such as the Cayuse, Palouse and Yakama.

Background
Following a Walla Walla raid on the Fort Walla Walla trading post and reports that Chief Peopeomoxmox had vowed to kill Washington Territory Governor Isaac Stevens, troops from the Oregon Mounted Volunteers were dispatched to the Umatilla River and later to the Touchet River.

The Chief and four others met the troops at the Touchet and, willingly, became their hostages in order to prevent an attack on his village. The volunteers and the five hostages began to march down the Touchet in order to establish a winter camp.

Battle
As the soldiers marched toward the former Whitman Mission, they realized that they were being pursued by a large group of Native warriors. Soon, a running battle began at the mouth of the Touchet. On the first day, four of the five hostages, including the chief, struggled to escape but were killed by volunteers.

On the fourth and final day of the battle, Both the Natives and the Volunteers withdrew, the Volunteers to Fort Henrietta on the Umatilla.

Aftermath
The battle resulted in the death of Walla Walla tribe leader Peo-Peo-Mox-Mox along with the deaths of six volunteers and between 75 and 100 Natives. The total Native casualties are unknown due to bodies being taken from the battlefield, but volunteers did find 39 bodies following the battle.
