Josephine Cox

Josephine Cox (15 July 1938 – 17 July 2020) also known as Jo Cox, was an English author. Her books were frequently best sellers and the UK Public Lending Rights figures often listed her in the top three borrowed authors.

Biography 
Born in a millworker's house in Blackburn, Lancashire, Cox was one of the ten children of an alcoholic father. At the age of sixteen, she met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When her children started school, she went to college, eventually being offered a place at the University of Cambridge.  She was unable to accept the Cambridge place because it would have meant living away from home and went on to become a teacher.

Cox won the "Superwoman of Great Britain Award", for which her family had secretly entered her when her first full-length novel was accepted for publication.

Cox also wrote under the name Jane Brindle, her mother's name. Altogether she wrote over 50 books.

The Chips

The Chips were a short-lived New York City doo-wop vocal group consisting of teenage friends Charles Johnson (lead vocal), Nathaniel Epps (baritone), Paul Fulton (bass), Sammy Strain and Shedrick Lincoln (tenors).
The group's first recording is their most enduring; "Rubber Biscuit" started life as Johnson's answer to the marching rhythms of the Warwick School For Delinquent Teenagers while he was an intern there.

When Josie Records heard the tune they signed the group and the record was issued in September 1956. Although it did not chart, "Rubber Biscuit" became an instant east coast radio favourite, and saw its performers touring alongside The Dells, Cadillacs, and Bo Diddley, but the momentum gained by their debut single was waning and the group broke up at the end of 1957. Only Sammy Strain went on to success in the music industry, as a member of Little Anthony & The Imperials from about 1961 to 1972 when he left to join The O'Jays. Strain left the O'Jays in 1992 to return to The Imperials, where he remained until his retirement in 2004. Shedrick died in 1988.

"Rubber Biscuit" was resurrected in 1973 in Martin Scorsese's film Mean Streets, about small-time gangsters. In 1978, The Blues Brothers recorded a cover of "Rubber Biscuit" on the album Briefcase Full of Blues; this version was released as a single that peaked at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #44 in Canada. "Rubber Biscuit" is also heard in the 1990 John Waters film Cry-Baby, the soundtrack to the film Super Size Me, and was the theme music to the 2009 BBC television show Jimmy's Food Factory.

Velsen-Noord

Velsen-Noord is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Velsen, and lies about 10 km north of Haarlem.

From 1865 on, when the construction on the North Sea Canal began, the town of Velsen, which originated in Roman times, was split in two parts. The northern part was known as Wijkeroog. Circa 1920, when municipality Beverwijk was planning to annex its surrounding villages, Velsen renamed Wijkeroog to Velsen-Noord (and Velsen itself to Velsen-Zuid) to indicate clearly that it was part of the municipality.

In 1918, the steel producer Koninklijke Hoogovens was established in Velsen-Noord along the North Sea Canal. Its blast furnaces have defined the landscape of this town since then. The Hoogovensmuseum was opened in 2009 by the Stichting Industrieel Erfgoed Hoogovens (SIEHO) in order to preserve the industrial heritage of this historic steel producing site.

QuickC

Microsoft QuickC is a discontinued commercial integrated development environment (IDE) product engineered by Microsoft for the C programming language, superseded by Visual C++ Standard Edition. Its main competitor was Borland Turbo C.

QuickC is one of three Microsoft programming languages with IDEs of this type marketed in the same period, the other two being QuickBasic and QuickPascal. QuickBasic later gave rise to Visual Basic as well as being included without a linker as QBasic in later versions of MS-DOS, replacing GW-BASIC. QuickC is a lineal ancestor of Visual C++. The three Quick language implementations were designed for power users (as opposed to professional developers, whom Microsoft supplied with programming languages in the form of expensive and more comprehensive implementations for the three languages in question as well as C++, Fortran, and Cobol) and educational use; in all three cases their major competitor was Borland with its Turbo compiler series. Microsoft Macro Assembler also competes with Borland's Turbo Assembler 

QuickC was a real mode target only compiler, with the exception of QuickC for Windows 1.0 which also allowed to compile protected mode programs, but only for Windows.

Version history

 QuickC 1.0, released in October 1987. It implements the ANSI C standard and is Microsoft C 5.0 compatible. CodeView is also supported. The release had known compatibility issues with WD HDD controllers.
 QuickC 1.01
 QuickC 2.0, released in January 1989. New features included: incremental compiling and linking, improved compilation speed, built-in assembler and support for all memory models. It was Microsoft C 5.1 compatible.
 QuickC 2.01, released in June 1989. Quick Assembler was included in this release. It was Microsoft Source Profiler compatible.
 QuickC 2.50, released in May 1990.

 QuickC 2.51, released in December 1990 (Only available with the bundled Assembler) 
 QuickC for Windows 1.0, released in September 1991. It was the first Windows based IDE for C and was also available in a bundle with Microsoft C 6.0 and Windows SDK. The IDE made use of some undocumented Windows API calls. It was still possible to target DOS with this version, but these DOS programs were limited to real mode programs.

Vjekoslav Klaić

Vjekoslav Klaić (21 June 1849 – 1 July 1928) was a Croatian historian and writer, most famous for his monumental work History of the Croats.

Klaić was born in Garčin near Slavonski Brod as the son of a teacher. He was raised in German spirit and language, since his mother was German. Klaić went to school in Varaždin and Zagreb. Literature and music were more to his liking in the seminary than history; some of his musical works were performed. He studied history and geography in Vienna. After completing his studies, he taught for more than fifty years, first as a high school teacher, and after 1893 as a professor of general history at the University of Zagreb, where he stayed with short breaks until 1922, when he retired. He died in Zagreb.

In 1896 he became a regular member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, and was an honourable doctor of the University of Prague and an external member of the Czech Academy of Sciences. 

Klaić wrote for the weekly Hrvatska lipa of the Croatian Party of Rights and was the editor of Vienac for several years (1882–1889), founded an orchestra and conducted it, promoting Croatian music. In 1892 he started and edited the musical magazine Gusle. He wrote short stories and political articles in the Croatian spirit. 

Among his historical works, the special place belongs to the monumental history Povijest Hrvata (History of the Croats), published by Kugli in five books (1899–1911). Klaić did not finish it. In a text about this book, another famous Croatian historian, Ferdo Šišić, pointed out (1914): "Materials, scientific method and details of Klaić's work surpass all the existing works of this kind in our historiography", while Jaroslav Šidak said that "Klaić's book, despite all of its shortcomings, has still not been surpassed regarding the wealth of information in its presentation of the 15th and 16th centuries".

His granddaughter Nada Klaić was also a prominent historian.

C. W. Ceram

C. W. Ceram (20 January 1915 – 12 April 1972) was the pseudonym of German journalist, editor at Rowohlt Verlag, and author Kurt Wilhelm Marek, known for his popular works about archaeology.  He chose to write using a pseudonym — spelling his own name backward as an ananym, and latinizing the K as C — to avoid association with his earlier work as a propagandist for the Third Reich.

Ceram was born in Berlin. During World War II, he was a member of the Propagandatruppe. His works from that period include Wir hielten Narvik, 1941, and Rote Spiegel - überall am Feind. Von den Kanonieren des Reichsmarschalls, 1943.

In 1949, Ceram wrote his most famous book, Götter, Gräber und Gelehrte — published in English as Gods, Graves and Scholars: The Story of Archaeology — an account of the historical development of archaeology.  Published in 28 languages, Ceram's book eventually received a printing of more than 5 million copies, and is still in print. His very first article of this type was about epigraphy entitled: On the Decipherment of an Unknown Script and was published in the Berliner Illustrierte (1935).

Other books by the author include The Secret of the Hittites (1956), March of Archaeology (1958) and The First American (1971), a book on ancient North American history. Using his actual name he published Yestermorrow: Notes on Man's Progress (1961); Hands on the Past: The Pioneer Archaeologists Tell Their Own Story  (1966).

Kurt Marek was responsible for the publication of A Woman in Berlin, the anonymous memoir of a German woman raped by Red Army troops.

He died at Hamburg in 1972.

The Ceram Prize in archaeology is named after him.

Extravaganza (TV series)

Extravaganza is a two-hour comedy variety show taped in Jakarta, Indonesia, which has been broadcast by Trans TV on Saturday and Monday night since its debut on May 30, 2004 until November 28, 2009. At the time, it's the most popular comedy variety show in Indonesia.

Cast 
 Tora Sudiro
 Indra Birowo
 Rony Dozer Karli
 Virnie Ismail
 Ronal Surapradja
 Tike Priatnakusumah
 Aming
 Tinka Dasia*
 Mieke Amalia*
 Sogi Indra Dhuaja

 And other new characters: Edric Tjandra, Lia Ananta*, Ence Bagus, and Farid Shigeta*.

It also stars four finalists of Kampus Extravaganza, a show to find new characters ('extras') for Extravaganza. They are T.J., Sentot* now known as (Papham Ashari), Ananda Omesh and Ammho*. There are also newer members, like Cathy Sharon and Luna Maya

Notes: *(*)No longer starred in Extravaganza

Show 
Every episode of Extravaganza will have guests, for example: Cinta Laura, Ungu, etc.

The show became successful due to its creativity and originality, a new, fresh kind of comedy show in Indonesia. This however, is debatable since the format of the show appeared to be strongly based on foreign comedy shows, most prominently the American Saturday Night Live (SNL). Most of the comedic scenario the show used was based (sometimes even almost identical, word for word) on jokes circulating in the Internet and common Indonesian jokes.

Segment in Extravaganza 

Some segment on Extravaganza such as:
  (Comedy Sketch) - Comedy story like the real-life story. Usually based on true life-story, anime, manga, Western cartoon, Indonesia fighting, folktale, or even pre-historic era.
  - Parody of Trans TV program Ceriwis with the tagline "Yoo...Miss..."
  (Extravaganza Legend)
  (Extravaganza Talk) - Talk show segment with Tike Priyatnakusumah.
  - News segment presented by Edric Tjandra, Indra Birowo or Shogi. Edric always presented the news with perfunctory Chinese language.
  - Infotainment segment presented by Tike and TJ which brought with Sundanese song.
  - Music quiz parodied from TVRI program Berpacu Dalam Melodi.
  (Celebrity Crosswords)
  - Music segment which presented some Indonesian music video clip that had been parodied by the Extravaganza cast.
  - Like , but the real-show that been parodied is the Trans TV program Termehek-Mehek.
  - A segment that introduced people with some unique and strange look.

Trivia 
 Aming, Indra Birowo, and Tora Sudiro appears at Indonesian movie, "Janji Joni".
 Indra Birowo and Ence Bagus starred in the movie "Setannya Kok Beneran".

Farmsum

Farmsum (;  ) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Eemsdelta.

History 
The village was first mentioned in the 10th or 11th century as "de Fretmarashem", and means "settlement of Fretmar". Farmsum was built on several house terps (artificial living hills) in the early middle ages. Farmsum used to be a proosdij (deanery) which ruled over 36 parishes.

In 1515, Farmsum was burnt down by Magnus I, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg. Farmsum was an independent municipality from 1808 until 1811 when it became part of Delfzijl. In 1814, it was destroyed by the French under Napoleon who had taken Delfzijl and wanted a clearer view on the countryside for defence.

Huis te Farmsum was an estate built in the early 13th century. In 1499, it was destroyed by the city of Groningen. It was finally demolished in 1812. The tower of the Dutch Reformed church was rebuilt between 1856 and 1857. In 1869, the church was rebuilt. The tower was struck by lightning in 1928.

Farmsum was home to 1,184 people in 1840.

The parish was formed in 1956 (in the then Winchester Rural District, and part of the City of Winchester District since 1974) from part of Compton parish. The parish does not include the whole of the settlement known informally as Oliver's Battery, with the northern boundary following the A3090 and therefore excluding Oliver's Battery Road North.

History
The name Oliver's Battery refers to a prominent Iron Age earthwork. A fine Anglo-Saxon bowl from a burial within the Battery was on show for many years at the British Museum, but has now been returned to Winchester City Museum on long-term loan. The parish also contains a number of Bronze Age burial mounds. The Olivers Battery name dates back to the English Civil War and is specifically associated with Oliver Cromwell's siege of Winchester in 1645. A map of 1780 refers to the area as "Cromwell's Camp" and later maps show it as "Oliver Cromwell's Battery". The ancient earthwork may well have provided a suitable campsite for the besieging Parliamentarian forces, but cannon of the period would have lacked the range to fire on Winchester Castle and city walls from the so-called battery site.

For centuries, Oliver's Battery was open downland grazed by sheep. Permanent settlements only appeared in the early years of the twentieth century with the establishment of a military camp. During the First World War the army maintained an extensive Veterinary Hospital for horses. After the war, the camp was split up into small holdings with army huts being used as dwellings. Gradually, a community developed as huts were replaced with houses and other homes were built.

In the late 1970s the community was bisected by Badger Farm Road (now the A3090), which acts as a south-western ring road for Winchester. A southern Winchester park-and-ride scheme opened in 2010 and is intended to reduce rush-hour congestion on this road.

Facilities
There is a local shopping centre built in the 1960s, with Sub Post Office. A small Anglican church, St Mark's, doubles up as a village hall and there is also a Catholic church, St Stephen's. Oliver's Battery Primary School was opened in 1973. St Peter's Catholic Primary School was built in the 1980s (having originated in Winchester in the 1850s), next to St Stephen's. The Catholic school and church are in Oliver's Battery Road North, and therefore not within the civil parish. There is no secondary school, but Kings' School is within walking distance.

Friendlyware

FriendlyWare was a set of 30 computer programs that were written in BASIC. There were several releases of FriendlyWare. A review of some its software appeared in the April 1983 issue of PC World magazine.

Reception and distribution
These programs, which  were bundled with some IBM personal computers sold by hardware vendors, included computer games, business software and personal data analysis programs.

The original copy, titled FriendlyWare I, was distributed on a 5.25" floppy disk with a green label. It had one arcade game (Brick Out) and other family software, including strategy games like Reversi. The FriendlyWare PC Introductory Set was among the first games available for the PC. It was a best seller for three months with little competition. The FriendlyWare Arcade pack came on a floppy disk with a red label and contained eight additional arcade-style games. The BusinessWare release came with a blue label and contained simple business software.

FriendlyWare was published in 1983 by a company named Friendlysoft. Over 29,000 copies of the original FriendlyWare were eventually sold.

FriendlySoft
FriendlySoft was started by Michael Yaw, an investor who also owned several Domino's Pizza stores. The software was written by a team of four programmers; who were paid royalties on the sales. Development was completed on some of the earlier IBM PCs. One of these computers was a PC with an innovative CGA card (Color Graphics Adapter).

Cultural impact
FriendlyWare was briefly referenced in Homestar Runner's "Strong Bad Email #65", with a subsequent playthrough of a number of the games in "Disk 4 of 12 - FriendlyWare".

FriendlyWare was one of the first pieces of software to implement a boss key, a shortcut to obscure the nature of the software from superiors in the workplace, Enhancements to this feature were still noteworthy in 2014.

Orders, decorations, and medals of Jamaica

The Jamaican honours system has developed as a unique entity since the passage of the National Honours and Awards Act by the Parliament of Jamaica in 1969 (Act No. 21 of 1969). The system is modelled largely on the British honours system, which was formerly conferred on Jamaicans. 

The Governor-General is the Chancellor of each order, membership of which is conferred by the Governor-General upon the advice of the Prime Minister of Jamaica.  The sovereign is not, however, the sovereign of these orders, as in the case of the Order of Canada and the Order of Australia.  In a sense, therefore, they are somewhat analogous to those distinctions awarded by certain of the Canadian provinces. 

Most Jamaican honours allow recipients to place post-nominal letters after their names, and some honours include pre-nominal styles.

Honours

The honours in this Jamaican system are as follows, from highest to lowest in rank:

In exercise of the royal prerogative, Charles III, as King of Jamaica, awards the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) to the incumbent Governor-General of Jamaica. This, however, is mainly ceremonial. No other British/Commonwealth honour is awarded in Jamaica, but, they are able to be awarded with advice given to the King of Jamaica, via the incumbent Prime Minister of Jamaica with approval from the Cabinet of Jamaica.
