Thomas Henley (Australian politician)

Sir Thomas Henley KBE (4 February 1860 – 14 May 1935) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

Early years
Henley was born in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, England and after basic education worked in the building industry for about ten years until he migrated to Sydney in about 1884.  He married Charlotte Smith in 1886.  He became a property developer and continued to build up his business during the depression of the 1890s, including acquiring Sydney Harbour ferry companies.  He was an alderman for Drummoyne Council from 1898 to 1934, including four periods as Mayor.

Political career
Henley was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1904 representing Burwood as a member of the Liberal Reform Party, Nationalist Party and United Australia Party until 1935, except for the period of proportional representation (1920–1927), when he was a member for Ryde. He had a forthright parliamentary style, boasting of his own success and the merits of hard work. Opponents called him the "great 'I am".

He was a member of the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board, commonly known as the Water Board, for much of the time between 1903 and 1933.

He was very briefly appointed as Minister for Public Works and Minister for Railways and Housing, on two occasions, in 1921 and 1922.

Henley fell from a Manly ferry and drowned on 14 May 1935 amid rumours of suicide. He was survived by his wife, two daughters and a son Herbert, who was a member of the Legislative Council from 1937 to 1964.

Fan Lau

Fan Lau () is a peninsula and area in the southwest tip of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It is also the southwest end the territory of Hong Kong. The very end of the tip is Fan Lau Kok (). The peninsula separates water into Fan Lau Tung Wan () in the east, and Fan Lau Sai Wan () and Fan Lau Miu Wan () in the west.

Fan Lau Tsuen
Fan Lau Tsuen () is a village on the flat land between the peninsula and the main trunk of Lantau Island. It is located on the west bank of Fan Lau, facing Fan Lau Sai Wan. The village was previously named Shek Sun Village (石筍村, "Village of Stone Shoots") and there were not more than 200 people in the village in the most busy days. Most of the villagers have moved out of the village and some stayed in Tai O and Pui O of Lantau Island In January 1997, only three people were still living in the village.

Fan Lau is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.

Features
Fan Lau is a Cantonese name that means separating water flows. The tip points to Lantau Channel dividing the current from Pearl River and the water of South China Sea. Due to its military strategic position, Fan Lau Fort was built in Qing Dynasty to defend the territory.

Another archaeological founding on the peninsula is a stone circle of Neolithic and Bronze Age with unidentified purpose. The Stone Circle and Fan Lau Fort are both declared monuments of Hong Kong.

There is also a Tin Hau Temple in Fan Lau Miu Wan. It was probably erected in 1820 and it is a Grade III historic building since 1985.

There is a lighthouse at Fan Lau Kok.

In the late 1980s, the China Light and Power company sought to build a new electricity generating plant in Hong Kong. Many sites were examined, including Gruff Head in Sai Kung, Fan Lau, and Black Point in Tuen Mun. After Gruff Head was rejected by the government in 1989, CLP proposed to build a coal-fired plant at Fan Lau. The plant would have covered an area of 60 hectares, and would have incorporated chimneys, ash lagoons, pylons, and new roads. This was fiercely opposed by major environmental groups in Hong Kong. In 1990, the Fan Lau site was rejected by the government for its "unprecedented level of conflict with the Country Parks Ordinance" and air pollution concerns. Instead, the Black Point Power Station, a gas-fired station, opened near the existing Castle Peak Power Station in 1996.

As with other coastal locations in the region, the coastlines of Fan Lau are marred by accumulation of marine refuse.

Access
Fan Lau is part of the Lantau South Country Park. The stage 7 of Lantau Trail passes near the peninsula. Following the Fan Lau Country Trail allows for the exploration of Fan Lau.

Harris Nelson

Harris Levi Nelson (1 January 1835 – 10 June 1883) was an Australian businessman, Justice of the Peace and politician who served as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

Life History
Born in Fordon, then in Prussia, to Joel Levy Nelson and his wife Rose, Harris Nelson migrated to Australia around 1857 and he was operating a store at Orange by 1860. He may have come due a family connection. His uncle, Benjamin Nelson (1813-1894), was a storekeeper, JP and twice mayor of Orange.

As well as the store, Harris Nelson had other business interests in the district. He was a lessee of the Orange (flour) Mill. He owned gold bearing land near Orange and had a 25% share in a 120-acre site near Bogan Gate where a copper mine was planned in 1880.

As a public figure he supported a number of community projects and public initiatives. Among these was the formation of a Volunteer Mounted Rifle Corps at Orange in 1860. He stood for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1872 and was elected.

He was the member for Orange in the 7th and 8th NSW Parliaments, from 1872 to 1877. In the house he voted in support of free trade and campaigned for a reduction in ad valorem customs duties on imports. He introduced legislation for the keeping of dogs in New South Wales. He also introduced legislation for the abolition of toll roads and campaigned for the extension of Great Western Railway to Orange. He sat on 31 parliamentary committees during his period serving as an MLA.

His efforts to promote the interests of his electorate sometimes saw him criticised for being "too local." His constituents appreciated his efforts on their behalf and in 1875 he was presented with a testimonial and two large table centrepieces made from 300 ounces of silver.

After leaving parliament he took a position as store manager for the Melbourne branch of M. Moss & Company. In 1880 he was made a member of the Melbourne Exhibition Commission. He resigned his employment in Melbourne, possibly due to ill health, and returned to New South Wales. He died at Bay View House, Cooks River, on 10 June 1883. He was 48 years old and unmarried. He was buried in Rookwood Cemetery.

Chocolate (Masters of Horror)

"Chocolate" is the fifth episode of the first season of Masters of Horror. It originally aired in North America on November 25, 2005. It was directed by Mick Garris and based on his short story.

Plot
A divorced young man Jamie (Henry Thomas) who develops artificial flavorings begins witnessing and experiencing the sights, smells and sounds of a woman he's never met starting with the taste of chocolate in his mouth. Troubled by these sudden experiences, he soon witnesses the woman murdering her former artist lover by stabbing and slashing his chest. Determined to find his mystery mate, his search leads to Catherine (Lucie Laurier), a beautiful Canadian woman who is suspicious of his actions. They become closer until Catherine attempts to murder him due to the psychological and psychosexual experiences that she also feels and doesn't enjoy the fact someone she doesn't know can feel what she can. In an attempt to save himself, he suddenly sees through Catherine's eyes at the wrong moment, killing her when he randomly shoots her.

The entire episode revolves around Jamie's story of the circumstances to the cops that interrogate him of the events that led to the murder. He states that he "knew what it felt like to die" when Catherine did and that it all happened because his life was so empty and hers was so full.

Cast

 Lucie Laurier as Catherine

DVD and Blu-ray
The DVD was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment on May 9, 2006. The episode was the fifth episode and the fourth to be released on DVD. The episode appears on the fourth volume of the Blu-ray compilation of the series.

Tannersville station (New York)

Tannersville Station was a train station in Tannersville, New York operated by the Ulster and Delaware Railroad. It ceased operation in 1940 and was burned down on March 2, 1966.

History

The original station at Tannersvile, New York, branch MP 14.6, was architecturally similar to the Lanesville station; a small building with a platform on each end, was also torn down in 1899, after the Kaaterskill Railroad was standard-gauged by the U&D in 1899.

The new Tannersville station was a fabricated station made for the U&D in the early 1900s. This station had the typical frame of a U&D pre-fab station, but had three platforms; one on the left, one on the right, and another as an extension at the back of the station.

Tannersville was considered to be a successful year-round station, although branches of the U&D later became summer-only operations. 

Tannersville's terminal was still standing after U&D's branches were abandoned in 1939 and scrapped in 1940. The terminal was then purchased by the town of Hunter in order to function as town offices and a snowplow garage. 

The terminal was razed by a fire on March 2, 1966, along with three trucks and power equipment.

Flying Cloud Airport

Flying Cloud Airport  is a public airport located in the city of Eden Prairie in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States, about 11 miles (18 km) southwest of the central business district (CBD) of Minneapolis.

History 
The airport was created in 1941 when the United States Navy was training pilots for World War II.  The Navy made arrangements with a local farmer, Martin "Pappy" Grill, to use a grass landing strip.  Pilots flying from Wold-Chamberlain Field, now Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, would use this field for practicing approaches.  After the war, Grill sold the field and some adjoining land to American Aviation, Inc.  John Stuber named the field "Flying Cloud Airport" to reflect local Indian lore and flying.  The Metropolitan Airports Commission bought the airport in 1948 and paved the runway. The MAC built a control tower in 1963.  By 1966, it was ranked the second-busiest airport in the central United States, behind Chicago-O'Hare International Airport.  In 1968, with 446,198 takeoffs and landings, it was the ninth-busiest airport in the United States.  Today it is designated by the FAA as a reliever airport and aircraft are restricted to  or less, except in an emergency situation or when operated by the U.S. Government.

Because of the airport's proximity to the Valleyfair amusement park, the park's rides are restricted in height by FAA regulations.

In 2020 the airport received a $157,000 CARES Act award.

Facilities and aircraft 
Flying Cloud Airport covers an area of 543 acres (220 ha) at an elevation of 906 feet (276 m) above mean sea level. It has three asphalt paved runways. 

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022, the airport had 122,281 aircraft operations, an average of 335 per day: 96% general aviation, 3% air taxi, <1% commercial, and  <1% military. At that time, there were 324 aircraft based at this airport: 259 single-engine, 34 multi-engine, 29 jet and 3-4 helicopter.

On April 30, 2020 an FAA Airport Improvement Program Grant of $722,222 was awarded to rehabilitate taxiways at the airport. 

Viking Composite Squadron is a Civil Air Patrol squadron that has its airplane hangar at Flying Cloud Airport.

Richard Arthur (Australian politician)

Richard Arthur (25 October 1865 – 21 May 1932) was an Australian politician, social reformer and medical practitioner.

Early life
Arthur was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, England and educated at Dover College.  He received a Master of Arts from the University of St Andrews (1885) and a MB ChB from the University of Edinburgh (1888).  He worked in the slums of Edinburgh, but contracted typhoid fever.  He met and married his wife, Jessie Sinclair Bruce, daughter of David Bruce, in Australia in 1890.  He returned to Europe and studied hypnotism in Paris, which earned him an MD from the University of Edinburgh in 1891.  After again becoming ill working in the slums of London, he returned to Australia and established a practice in the Sydney suburb of Mosman, specialising in eye, ear-nose-and-throat, and dental work.  He was a director of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital from 1917 to 1920 and from 1927 to 1931 and of Sydney Hospital from 1924 to 1932.

Political career
Arthur was elected in 1904 to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as member for Middle Harbour, representing the Liberal and Reform Party.  In December 1912, he became the inaugural president of the Eugenics Society of New South Wales. He became an early advocate of child endowment in 1916 and was a strong supporter of closer settlement and assisted immigration to reduce the Japanese threat.  From 1920 to 1927, he represented North Shore.  He was chairman of the 1923 Royal Commission on Lunacy Law and Administration and, as a eugenicist, recommended special training and institutions for "defectives".   He represented Mosman from 1927 to 1932 and was Minister for Public Health from 1927 to 1930 during the Bavin Government,  but he failed to carry a mental defectives bill.

Arthur died in Mosman and was survived by his wife, son and two daughters. His wife's sister, Mary Alexander Sinclair Bruce, was married to Frederick Smythe Willis, sometime mayor of Willoughby, New South Wales and a founder member (and first hon. treasurer) of the Corporation of Accountants of Australia.

Alick Kay

Alick Dudley Kay (3 October 1884 – 4 February 1961) was an Australian politician and Domain orator. He is described by the Australian Dictionary of Biography as a "harmless ratbag".

Early life and education 
Kay was born in the Sydney suburb of Petersham, New South Wales and educated at Petersham and Stanmore public schools. Alick became a clerk with New South Wales Government Railways and joined the Australian Army in 1915.

Career 
Kay ran unsuccessfully for the federal seat of South Sydney for the Nationalist Party in 1917. In 1918 he left the Nationalists and started appearing regularly as an anti-Communist speaker at Sydney Domain. He also travelled regularly to Melbourne to orate next to the Yarra. In 1925, he won one of the five seats of North Shore under proportional representation in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as an independent. In parliament, he regularly voted with Labor to the horror of his former supporters. Under the electoral system, the Labor Party automatically won his position if he resigned, so Jack Lang offered him a position on the Metropolitan Meat Board in 1926 as a consumers' representative. The Thomas Bavin government passed legislation in 1927 to remove him from the board.

Crypt (anatomy)

Crypts are anatomical structures that are narrow but deep invaginations into a larger structure.

One common type of anatomical crypt is the Crypts of Lieberkühn.  However, it is not the only type: some types of tonsils also have crypts.  Because these crypts allow external access to the deep portions of the tonsils, these tonsils are more vulnerable to infection.

Sangtam Naga

The Sangtams are a Naga ethnic group native to the Kiphire District in the Northeast Indian state of Nagaland.

Like many other ethnic groups in Northeast India, they practice jhum, or shifting cultivation. Unlike other Naga ethnic groups in Nagaland, many of the Sangtam have retained their traditional beliefs in spite of embracing Christianity at the same time. Sangtams celebrate twelve different festivals, in particular Mungmung, all of which are affiliated with their traditional culture and religion.

The Sangtam people are one of the major ethnic groups in Nagaland. Towards the Southern part of Nagaland, we have the Sangtam inhabited area under the Kiphire District. The Northern part of Sangtam includes the Longkhim-Chare sub-division of Tuensang District. They are united under the common banner called "United Sangtam."  There are 62 (sixty two) villages among the Sangtams, 24 villages under Longkhim-Chare sub-division and 38 villages under Kiphire District. There are seven government administrative towns under united Sangtam jurisdiction. During the recent years, another part of Sangtam land has been recognized namely Tsithrongse and Mürise Village under Chümoukedima District and Sangtamtilla Village under Dimapur District.

Walter Skelton

Walter Peden Joyce Skelton MBE (28 March 1883 – 21 May 1979) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

Skelton was born in Boggabri, New South Wales, ninth child of a railway fettler, educated at Boggabri Public School and brought up as a strict Protestant.  In 1898 he joined New South Wales Government Railways and in October 1904 he married Annie Porter Gray and they had a son and four daughters. He became a stationmaster in 1908 and worked at Matong, Jerilderie, Boggabri, Carrathool and Cockle Creek. His wife died in 1912 and he married Alexie Muriel Stewart in 1916 and they had three daughters and three sons.

Skelton and fellow members of the New South Wales Protestant Federation reacted strongly to the alleged kidnapping of an "escaped" nun Sister Mary Liguori in Sydney in 1921 and Skelton created the Protestant Independent Labour Party. In 1922, he was elected first of five members, receiving 25.19% of the vote, for the seat of Newcastle. In parliament, he campaigned for free education, prohibition by referendum and the interests of railway workers.  He was re-elected in 1925. With the abolition of proportional representation in 1927, he stood as a candidate for the single-member electorates of Wallsend, but was defeated by the Labor candidate, receiving 42.19% of the vote. Skelton stood again for the 1928 Hamilton by-election but was again defeated by the Labor candidate, receiving 48.78% of the vote after the distribution of preferences. He was also unsuccessful in standing for the federal seat of Newcastle in 1928 and 1931.

Skelton helped to establish the National Union of Railwaymen of Australia, a dissident union drawing together members of smaller unions formed by rail workers who had been expelled from the Australian Railways Union for strike-breaking during the 1917 rail strike.

He died in the Sydney suburb of Greenwich, survived by his wife and their three sons and three daughters and two daughters from his first marriage.

Honours
Skelton was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1962 and named "Senior Citizen of the Year" in 1972.

John Fegan (politician)

John Lionel Fegan (1862 – 29 December 1932) was a politician and coal miner in New South Wales, Australia.

Fegan was born in Chelmsford, Essex, England and worked as a coalminer in Northern Wales and Lancashire from the age of 16. He married Ann Saggerson in February 1883 and they had one daughter and one son, but he abandoned them in 1896 to travel to New South Wales. He worked as a miner in the Newcastle area and settled in Wickham. He was employed as a check inspector at Bullock Island (Carrington) colliery and became a union delegate.

He was one of the Labor Party's first members of parliament, elected in 1891 to represent the seat of Newcastle in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.  He refused to swear Labor's pledge of solidarity and in 1894 won Wickham as independent labor. He chaired a select committee on working of collieries in 1894 and served on the royal commission on city railway extension in 1897. Along with Labor, he supported George Reid's Free Trade government from 1894, but moved the motion in 1899, that brought it down.

Fegan became Secretary for Mines and Agriculture in William Lyne's Protectionist government between September 1899 and April 1901. In April 1901, he resigned his portfolio to take up Lyne's offer for him to become undersecretary in his federal home affairs department, but opposition in federal cabinet and from Reid prevented him taking up this appointment. He served as minister without portfolio in the See's government from March 1903 to June 1904. He was Minister of Public Instruction and Minister for Labour and Industry from June to August 1904 in Waddell's government. In 1901, he joined the Progressive Party and in 1907, joined the Liberal Reform Party, but was defeated for re-election by the Labor candidate, William Calman Grahame. He failed at several later election attempts, but with the introduction of proportional representation in 1920, he was elected as the only Nationalist representative along with four Labor members for Newcastle. The Nationalist party did not suggest any preference between its candidates, and Fegan was defeated, with fellow Nationalist candidate Magnus Cromarty picking up the fifth and final seat. He stood again in 1925, but was again defeated.

Fegan was a councillor on Wickham Municipal Council from 1917 until his death, and mayor in 1924 and 1931. He was a member of the Newcastle Board of Health from 1909 to 1932. In October 1897, he had married Edith Louisa Edwards, but they had no children. His son David from his first marriage joined him and was killed at Gallipoli.

He died at home in Wickham (aged ) and was survived by his daughter and his wife.

Owen Gilbert

Owen Gilbert (1868 – 13 November 1934) was an Australian politician. He was a Liberal Reform Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1901 to 1910, representing the electorates of Newcastle West (1901-1904) and Newcastle (1904-1910).

Owen was born in Raymond Terrace, New South Wales and spent early years in Wallsend. He became a schoolteacher in 1885, with his first posting at Minmi, and taught for sixteen years in various New South Wales towns, including Junee and Goulburn, before finishing his teaching career at Hamilton. He was also involved in the Newcastle community, serving as secretary of the Newcastle Show. A one-time member of his local Labor League in the early 1890s, Gilbert was a committed free-trader by the time of Federation, and resigned from his teaching post in 1901 to contest the inaugural 1901 federal election as a Free Trade Party candidate in the seat of Newcastle; however, he was soundly defeated.

Following his federal loss, Gilbert contested and won the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Newcastle West for the Liberal Reform Party at the 1901 state election three months later. He was re-elected for Newcastle in 1904 after an electoral redistribution and again for that seat in 1907. As local MP, was reported to have been influential in the establishment of the Stockton ferry service. He was defeated by a Labor candidate at the 1910 state election. He unsuccessfully contested Mudgee at the 1913 state election, and continued to campaign for conservative candidates into the 1920s.

In 1914, after a stint as a paid organiser for the Liberal Reform Party, he was appointed as secretary to the State Quarries by the state Labor government and relocated to Sydney. He worked for the State Quarries for many years thereafter. At the time of his death in 1934, he was residing in Paddington. Having reportedly had a history of heart problems, he collapsed on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst and died in the Sydney Hospital.
