William "Jock" Alves ( 1909 – 10 February 1979) was a Scottish-born Rhodesian physician and politician who served as mayor of Salisbury (now Harare) from 1972 to 1974. He later served as a member of the Senate of Rhodesia until his death. An epidemiologist by profession, he directed a bilharzia research laboratory in Salisbury and later worked with the World Health Organization on parasitic disease projects.

Medical career 
Alves was of Scottish origin. Alves earned his Bachelor of Arts from a South African university. He pursued his doctorate at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, but had to return to Southern Rhodesia in 1947 before completing his degree. He later returned and was awarded a PhD in 1953.

Alves was a physician and was the director of the Bilharzia and Malaria Research Laboratory in Salisbury from 1944 into the 1950s. He also belonged to the department of parasitology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. He was considered an international authority on bilharzia, and during his tenure at the laboratory developed a treatment for the disease that was successfully tested on 25 patients. He served on the World Health Organization (WHO) expert committee on parasitic diseases. In 1958, he led a WHO project in the Philippines. In 1961, he was senior advisor on a WHO malaria eradication project in the Solomon Islands.

Political career 
Alves was elected to the Salisbury City Council and served as deputy mayor from 1971 to 1972 under Mayor Roger Bates. On 2 August 1972, he was sworn in as mayor Salisbury at a special meeting of the city council. He served as mayor until 7 August 1974, when he was succeeded by Tony Tanser. Alves continued to serve on the city council, and later became a member of the Rhodesian senate. In 1978, as chairman of the city council's African affairs committee, Alves introduced a scheme to set up a two-tier system in which blacks and whites would each have municipal representation on their own city councils. The proposal passed without debate in January 1978. In June 1978, Alves made a speech before the senate in which he urged the Rhodesian government to include the African nationalist leader Joshua Nkomo, and possibly Robert Mugabe, in any potential settlement negotiations. He was a member of the ruling Rhodesian Front party, and was for a time a party spokesman.

Alves died at Andrew Fleming Hospital in Salisbury on 10 February 1979, aged 70.

Naquetta Ricks is a Liberian-American politician, businesswoman, and accountant serving as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives from the 40th district. Elected in November 2020, she assumed office on January 13, 2021.

Early life and education 
Ricks was born in Liberia and moved to the United States with her parents amid the First Liberian Civil War. Ricks' paternal grandfather, John Henry Ricks, had been a state representative in Liberia prior to Naquetta Ricks' birth. Her maternal step-grandfather, General Glakron Gblodell Jackson, was superintendent of Bomi County and was killed after ousted politician Charles Taylor launched a rebellion in late 1989 that brought years of civil war and a quarter-million deaths.

She was raised in Aurora, Colorado, where she graduated from Aurora Central High School. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Colorado Denver.

Rick’s family found a pathway to citizenship in 1986, when then-President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act. The law not only tightened enforcement but also made unauthorized immigrants who had arrived before 1982 eligible for amnesty. Ricks became a U.S. citizen in her early 20s.

Career 
Prior to entering politics, Ricks worked as an accountant and operated a mortgage business. In 2017, Ricks unsuccessfully sought a seat on the Aurora City Council, placing third in a field of five candidates. In November 2020, Ricks was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives, defeating Republican nominee Richard Allen Bassett. Ricks is the first Black immigrant elected to Colorado's Statehouse.

During her campaign, Ricks was advised by New American Leaders and Emerge America, non-profit organizations that recruit and train female candidates for office. Upon her election, Ricks became one of the first two Liberian-American elected to a state legislature in the United States, along with Nathan Biah of Rhode Island.

Jowett was born at Clifton Park in Bristol in January 1931. He was educated at Sherborne School, where he played for the school cricket team from 1947–1949.

In October of that year, he granted the rank of Acting Lieutenant, with Jowett returning to the rank of Second lieutenant in February 1952.

He made his debut for Dorset in minor counties cricket against Cornwall in August 1952 (though his minor counties debut proper had come in 1948 when he played twice for Gloucestershire Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship). After studying at Sherborne School, Jowett went up to St John's College, Oxford. It was there that he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University in May 1952 against Yorkshire at Oxford. His first wicket in first-class cricket was Len Hutton.

He scored 566 runs for Oxford University in first-class cricket at an average of 12.57, with a highest score of 57 not out, one of two occasions he passed fifty. As an off break bowler, he took 118 wickets for the university, which came at a bowling average of 32.20. He took five wickets or more in an innings three times, with best figures of 7/132 coming against Surrey in 1954 at Guildford. Besides playing first-class cricket for Oxford University, Jowett also three matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club, and one match for the Free Foresters. Jowett was never on the winning side in any of his fifty first-class matches. His minor counties career with Dorset continued until 1960, with Jowett making 64 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship for the county.

He died at Banbury in Oxfordshire in January 2000.

QX Normae is an active low mass X ray binary in the constellation Norma. It is composed of a neutron star and a star smaller and cooler than the Sun.  The X-ray component, known as 4U 1608–52, was discovered in the early 1970s, while the visual component, QX Normae, was discovered in 1977. By analysing the interstellar extinction between Earth and the system, Güver and colleagues calculated the most likely distance to be 5.8 kpc (19,000 light-years), and the neutron star's mass to be  1.74 ± 0.14 times that of the Sun and radius to be a mere 9.3 ± 1.0 km.

WHTG (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to Eatontown, New Jersey, United States, the station serves the Monmouth County and Ocean County area.  The station is currently owned by Press Communications, LLC and features programming from AP Radio.

The station also broadcasts on simulcast translator W264DH on 100.7 FM in Eatontown, New Jersey.

History
WHTG AM Sign-on the air on November 1, 1957.

The station simulcast the programming offerings of its co-owned station WHTG-FM until 1984, when the AM station began playing a big-band standards format while the FM station began featuring alternative rock. Eventually the station gravitated toward an oldies format, called "Great Gold", which it retains today.

Until its purchase in 2000 by Press Communications, the station was privately owned by the Gade family, the station's founders. While the station maintains its original AM tower and transmitter site in Tinton Falls, the studios are now located in nearby Neptune.

During the sixties, Wally Dow announced, sold time, and performed all general duties at the station. He was general manager of the station from 1968 until September 1970, when he and his family moved to Florida.

For much of its history WHTG was a daytime only radio station. The station's traditional signoff was Perry Como's recording of "The Lord's Prayer", used every day except for Yom Kippur when a different signoff was used. Relaxing of FCC rules allowed the station to broadcast for two hours after local sunset and now broadcasts around the clock on 500 watts daytime and 126 watts nighttime. Once the station changes over to 126 watts the listening radius is severely diminished.

On July 28, 2022 WHTG changed its branding to "The Breeze", now positioning as "The Jersey Shore's Feel Good Station". "The Breeze" was previously used on Press stations WBHX 99.7 Tuckerton and WWZY 107.1 Long Branch until 2013.
