Telestes karsticus | It was the intention of Mitsunobu's brother, Kanō Takanobu, to have his son, Kanō Tan'yū, remain in Kyoto as designated heir to his father's sub-branch of the Kano school workshop. However, Tan'yu accepted the title of "goyō eshi" in 1617 and began to plan his atelier in Edo, most likely with the Tokugawa shogun's approval. This moved Tan'yū's younger brother, Kanō Naonobu, up as to succeed the family workshop in Kyoto upon Takanobu's death. However, in 1630 the city of Edo was flourishing and Naonobu was also made "goyo eshi" and given his own parcel of land at Takegawachō in Edo, where he then built his residence and studio. The main Kano school workshop, lead by Sandanobu by this time, decided to remain in Kyoto, either by instruction of the shogun or Sandanbou's own will.

"Lloyd's Register" reports her master as William Lewis, her owner as Holland & Co., and her trade as London–W__. The "Register of Shipping" for 1816 gives the name of her master as Armnan, her owner as Hogg & Co., and her trade as London transport. |
Marlies Krämer | "Lord Melville", Thomas Arman, master, was in company with "Sea Horse" and "Boadicea" on 30 January 1816. These ships were travelling together carrying soldiers and their families to Cork at the end of the Napoleonic War when all three wrecked, two with heavy loss of life. "Lord Melville" failed to clear Kinsale Head and was driven onto a shoal 300 metres from the shore. However she did not break up. Her only losses occurred when a boat was launched containing four women, one child, and eight men; this boat foundered and only one person survived. The remainder of her crew and of the 479 passengers survived and left the ship as the gale subsided overnight. Citations References The Third Sex The Third Sex may refer to: |

Casa de Sá | Casa de Sá (historically Casa Grande de Sá or alternatively Casa da Lage) is a historic manor house and agricultural estate in the Municipality of Ponte de Lima, Portugal. It is registered as a historic property of public interest by the Portuguese Government’s IGESPAR institute. In its current form, the principal building dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, and is typical of the Northern Portuguese seigneurial architecture of the period. The estate contains a chapel, consecrated in 1743 and dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, with a large baroque wood-carved retable; an integrally preserved 18th-century winery and granary, and terraced landscape gardens of 19th-century Romantic design, as well as several acres of parkland. |
Casa de Sá | It was the birthplace of António de Araújo e Azevedo, 1st Count of Barca, one of the foremost Portuguese political figures of his time. The property and original manor house, of which nothing remains, were in the possession of the Pereira Pinto family since at least 1500. In 1698, the marriage of heiress Violante Pereira Pinto to jurisconsult Tristão de Araújo de Azevedo brought it into the possession of the Araújo family, originally Lords of Lobios, who had fled to Minho from Galicia after killing a certain Lopo Soares, majordomo of the Bishop of Ourense. 1711 marked the beginning of the works that were lo lend the house its present shape. Between then and the Liberal reforms of the early 19th century, the estate was transmitted according to the rules of primogeniture as a majorat. |
Casa de Sá | António de Araújo de Azevedo, prime-minister of Portugal under King John VI and a key figure in the last decades of the colonial history of Brazil, was born in the house in 1754. Although he inherited the estate at a young age, his political and diplomatic career would take him to The Hague, St. Petersburg, Paris (where he was briefly incarcerated in the Bastille) and finally Rio de Janeiro, where he accompanied the royal household in the wake of the Napoleonic invasion of Portugal. |
Casa de Sá | His brother Brigadier Francisco António de Araújo e Azevedo, also born in the house in 1772, was a colonial administrator, becoming 7th Captain-General of the Azores in 1816. He is famed for having led the Constitutional Revolt in Angra, and was killed in a counter-revolution on 3-4 April 1821. The 1st Count of Barca having died a bachelor in 1817, the house was inherited by him and his descendants. Through marriage, it passed to the family of the Viscounts of Barrosa, of nearby Viana, in the early 20th century. The house was renovated in 1909-1911. Plans for a new wing designed by architect José Rego Vianna in 1921 were begun but never completed. Millgrove railway station Millgrove railway station may refer to: Ben Berend |

Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | Polemarch (1918 – after 1937) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed considerable promise as a two-year-old in 1920 when he won the Gimcrack Stakes and the Rous Plate as well as finishing third in the Middle Park Stakes. In the following year he won the Knowsley Dinner Stakes and the Great Northern Leger but appeared to have been exposed as some way short of top class before he recorded a 50/1 upset victory in the St Leger. In 1922 he became increasingly temperamental and difficult to manage and failed to win or place in five starts. He was then sold and exported to Argentina where he had considerable success of a breeding stallion. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | Polemarch was a "leggy" chestnut horse with a white blaze bred and owned by Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th Marquess of Londonderry. He was initially sent into training with Captain R H Dewhurst at his Bedford Lodge stable in Newmarket, Suffolk. Polemarch was an unusually late foal, being born on 3 June 1918. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | He was sired by The Tetrarch an unbeaten horse who was regarded as one of the fastest two-year-old ever seen in Britain and Ireland, but whose career was ended by injury before he could race at three. The Tetrarch showed very little interest in his stud duties: his attitude towards sex was described as being "monastic in the extreme". Although he sired few foals his progeny included several major winners. Polemarch's dam Pomace, was a full-sister to the Middle Park Stakes winner Corcyra. The colt's name, which was an ancient Greek military title, caused some confusion: although the correct pronunciation was "polly-mark", bookmakers and the racing public called him "pole-march". |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | Polemarch ran five times as a two-year-old in 1920. He finished unplaced on his debut at Newmarket in July and first came to attention when finishing second in the Wynyard Plate at Stockton Racecourse in August, beaten ahead by the highly rated filly Barrulet. Later that month Polemarch contested the Gimcrack Stakes over six furlongs in which he was ridden by Fred Lane. Starting at odds of 5/1 he won by a neck from Lemonora with the filly Hasty Match in third. Although Lemonora looked an unlucky loser it was noted that Polemarch was likely to improve as he needed more time to "furnish and thicken" into his "ample frame". He then added a win in the Rous Plate at Doncaster Racecourse in September. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | On his final appearance of the season on 15 October at Newmarket Racecourse Polemarch finished third behind Monarch and Humorist in the Middle Park Plate. As the owner of the Gimcrack winner, Lord Londonderry was invited to give the speech at the annual Gimcrack dinner in December in which he said that winning the St Leger was his "life's ambition". |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | For the 1921 season, Polemarch was transferred to the training stable of Tom Green but his early form was disappointing. He finished down the field behind Lord Astor's Craig An Eran in the 2000 Guineas and did not contest the Derby which saw the ill-fated Humorist win from Craig An Eran and Lemonora. Polemarch was instead dropped in class but finished unplaced behind Long Suit in the Royal Standard Stakes at Manchester Racecourse. On 21 July he showed some signs of a return to form when he won the Knowsley Dinner Stakes over ten furlongs at Liverpool. In the following month Polemarch was stepped up in distance for the Great Northern Leger over thirteen furlongs at Stockton and won by a neck from the Irish colt Tremola. On his final start before the St Leger however, the colt was diappointig when beaten by Napolyon in a three-runner race at York. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | On 7 September Polemarch, ridden by Joe Childs started a 50/1 outsider in a nine-runner field for the 146th running of the St Leger over fourteen and a half furlongs at Doncaster. Lord Londonderry was sceptical about his horse's chances, reportedly commenting that Polemarch could "only gallop for six furlongs". The overwhelming favourite for the race at odds of 1/4 was Craig An Eran, while the other runners included Tremola, Lord Glanely's Westward Ho (Great Yorkshire Stakes), Thunderer and Lord Carnarvon's Franklin (Hardwicke Stakes). Polemarch was restrained at the rear of the field as Franklin and Tremola et the pace and was not in the first three entering the straight. Franklin went to the front a furlong out but Polemarch produced a "brilliant finishing run" along the inside rail, took the lead in the closing stages and stayed on well to win "quite comfortably" by one and a half lengths from Franklin, with a gap of three lengths back to Westward Ho in third. Craig An Eran, who failed to stay, finished fourth with Tremola in fifth. Lord Londonderry was reportedly "dumbfounded" by the result. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | Polemarch remained in training as a four-year-old but made little impact having apparently "acquired an acute distaste for racing". He began his third season at Kempton Park Racecourse and ran unplaced in the Great Jubilee Handicap a race he contested despite his trainer's misgivings. In June he lined up for the Coronation Cup but refused to race and was left at the start. In the Ascot Gold Cup he seemed reluctant to make any real effort and finished unplaced behind Golden Myth. Another poor performance followed in the Manchester Cup when he finished last of the eight runners despite having led the field two furlongs out before dropping back very quickly. He took on Golden Myth again in the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park on 21 July but never looked likely to win and came home a distant fourth. |
Johan Svensson (Swedish Air Force officer) | In their book, "A Century of Champions", based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Polemarch a "poor" winner of the St Leger. On 1 August 1922 it was announced that Polemarch had been sold to stand as a breeding stallion and he was shipped to Buenos Aries in the following month. During the voyage he became "exceedingly savage", biting several crew members and passengers and causing "general havoc" aboard the ship. Polemarch had considerable success in Argentina and sired the winers of six Argentinian classics: |

All Saints Church, Porthcawl All Saints Church, Porthcawl is a Listed Anglican church in the seaside resort of Porthcawl, South Wales. It is a daughter church of St John's in Newton, despite being considerably larger in size. |
Peter Speight | St John's, founded in the 1180s, proved sufficient for many years to handle the numbers of worshippers. Only after Porthcawl acquired a new harbour in the mid 19th Century did the population (and thus number of worshippers) begin to prove beyond the capacity of St John's. |
Peter Speight | The first All Saints was set up beside the harbour in 1866. This had a dual purpose as a school (the street is still called 'Old School Road'). It was replaced by a large tin tabernacle in 1892 (or 1899), which stood on the site of the present church, which replaced it in 1914. The church's original designs of 1909 envisaged a south-east tower, though this was not built and the gap is now bricked off. The church was later extended to the north-east in the 1960s, when a vestry and lady chapel were added. Listed status was granted in 1992. The church's east window, installed in 1927, is the work of Karl Parsons.

Weymouth Old Town Hall Weymouth Old Town Hall is a former town hall at Weymouth, Dorset, England. The building, which was built with Portland stone in the 1770s, has been Grade II listed since 1953. The bell turret is believed to date from the 17th century. Since 2009, the hall has been operated for community use by the Guardians of the Old Town Hall. |
Film New Europe Association | The Old Town Hall has Tudor origins, with the same site being the location of an earlier town hall since the 16th century. Traditionally Weymouth and Melcombe Regis were rivals for trade and industry, until the two towns were united in an Act of Parliament in 1571. However, both continued to use their separate town halls, with Weymouth's being rebuilt around 1774. By the 1890s, the town hall was in need of repair, and a major restoration and alteration project was carried out in 1896 for a cost of £877. The clock above the main door of the building was presented by Sir Henry Edwards upon completion of the work. By this time, the Weymouth Guildhall, which had opened in 1838 on the site of the former Melcombe Regis Town Hall, was now the council's main place for meetings. |
Film New Europe Association | The hall, still under the council's ownership, was later used as the headquarters of the local Girl Guides from the mid-20th century onwards. The hall became vacant in 2005 and fell into a state of disrepair. Although the council had initially planned to lease the building, the extensive repair work discouraged potential tenants, including the Citizens Advice Bureau who had considered moving into the building. The council attempted to sell the hall in 2007, but after a deal fell through, the council gave the Chapelhay Community Partnership a 30 year rent-free lease in 2009 to transform the building into an arts and heritage centre. The Guardians of the Old Town Hall formed that year as a community interest company to manage and operate the building. |
Film New Europe Association | The hall quickly became a regular host of various events and exhibitions, while planned restoration work received planning approval in 2011. Further restoration was undertaken in 2015, funded by McCarthy & Stone, who then temporarily used the building as a sales office for their nearby Harbour Lights Court development. The work received the Weymouth Civic Society Award for 2015. Bert Van Bork |
