Threapwood

Threapwood is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is close to the villages of Shocklach, Worthenbury and Malpas.

Etymology, history
Threapwood developed on an area of common land, historically a tract of woodland lying between Cheshire and Flintshire, which was traditionally reputed to have fallen outside of county, parish and township boundaries: it was therefore outside the jurisdiction of any Justice of the Peace and paid no land tax or parish rates. This status was reflected in its name, with threap being a common Old English place name element referring to disputed boundary areas.

This vague administrative status was to lead to Threapwood gaining a reputation as a home to "abandoned characters of every description, and especially of women of loose or blemished morals". It was also a refuge for military deserters. Various attempts were made to bring Threapwood within the normal administrative structure; by the Militia Acts of 1792 it was decreed to be in Worthenbury – though for the purposes of the militia only – and the Mutiny Act 1797 placed it in the parish of Malpas.

Until Victorian times the village continued to be regarded as partly in Cheshire, and partly in Flintshire. But in 1896, under the "County of Chester (Threapwood) Order", the county boundary (and therefore the boundary between England and Wales), which passed through the village, was adjusted slightly in favour of Cheshire.

Buildings

Churches 
 St John (C of E). Founded 1817 as a chapel to Malpas (formerly extra-parochial), becoming the parish church for Threapwood in 1968. 
 United Reformed Church (Independent/Congregational). Built 1850.

Other
War Memorial
A derelict brick tower windmill to the southeast of the village still contains much of the internal mechanism, though in a ruinous state of repair.

Triphenylmethyl radical

The triphenylmethyl radical (often shorted to trityl radical) is an organic compound with the formula (C6H5)3C. It is a persistent radical. It was the first radical ever to be described in organic chemistry.  Because of its accessibility, the trityl radical has been heavily exploited.

Preparation and properties 
It can be prepared by homolysis of triphenylmethyl chloride 1 by a metal like silver or zinc in benzene or diethyl ether. The radical 2 forms a chemical equilibrium with the quinoid-type dimer 3 (Gomberg's dimer). In benzene the concentration of the radical is 2%.

Solutions containing the radical are yellow; when the temperature of the solution is raised, the yellow color becomes more intense as the equilibrium is shifted in favor of the radical (in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle).

When exposed to air, the radical rapidly oxidizes to the peroxide, and the color of the solution changes from yellow to colorless. Likewise, the radical reacts with iodine to triphenylmethyl iodide.

While the trityl radical forms a quinoid dimer, derivatives thereof with the appropriate substitution pattern do form dimers with a hexaphenylethane structure. X-ray studies give a bond length of 1.67 Å for hexakis(3,5-di-t-butylphenyl)ethane. Theoretical calculations on a very high level of theory indicate that van der Waals attraction between the tert-butyl groups create a potential minimum that is absent in the unsubstituted molecule. Other derivatives have been reported as the quinoid dimer

History 
The radical was discovered by Moses Gomberg in 1900 at the University of Michigan. He tried to prepare hexaphenylethane from triphenylmethyl chloride and zinc in benzene in a Wurtz reaction and found that the product, based on its behaviour towards iodine and oxygen, was far more reactive than anticipated. The discovered structure was used in the development of ESR spectroscopy and confirmed by it.

The correct quinoid structure for the dimer was suggested as early as 1904 but this structure was soon after abandoned by the scientific community in favor of hexaphenylethane (4). It subsequently took until 1968 for its rediscovery when researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam published proton NMR data.

Giovanni Battista Pescetti

Giovanni Battista Pescetti (c. 170420 March 1766) was an organist, harpsichordist, and composer known primarily for his operas and keyboard sonatas. Musicologist and University of California, Santa Barbara professor John E. Gillespie wrote that Pescetti "stylistically stands as a bridge between Alberti and Domenico Scarlatti".

Life
Born in Venice, Pescetti was the son of organ builder Giacinto Pescetti. His mother, Giulia Pescetti (née Pollarolo), was the daughter of opera composer and organist Carlo Francesco Pollarolo and the sister of composer and organist Antonio Pollarolo. He studied in his native city under the organist and opera composer Antonio Lotti. He developed a friendship with Baldassare Galuppi, a fellow pupil of Lotti's, with whom he collaborated in creating and revising operas. From 1725 to 1732 he wrote operas for various theatres in Venice, sometimes in collaboration with Galuppi.

Pescetti left Italy for London in 1736, where he initially worked as a harpsichordist. He replaced Nicola Porpora as director of the Opera of the Nobility in 1737. In London, the opera singer Giovanni Manzuoli championed his music and became a close friend of his. In 1739 he published a set of ten keyboard sonatas entitled Sonate per gravicembalo in London. This work included arrangements of the overture and arias in his opera La conquista del velo d’oro. While stylistically his work exists inbetween that of Alberti and Scarlatti, some of his music displayed the influence of his London contemporary George Frideric Handel.

Pescetti probably left London around 1745 when hostility against Catholic Italians arose because of the Jacobite rebellion of Prince Charles and the Highland clans. He returned to Venice in 1747 and in 1762 was appointed second organist at St Mark's Basilica. He died in Venice on March 20, 1766.

Pescetti was active as a teacher of composition in Venice, his most famous students being Josef Mysliveček (1737–1781) and Antonio Salieri (1750–1825).

Inclusion in Rock Band
In 2007, this song was included in the Harmonix music video game Rock Band, exposing Coheed and Cambria to a considerably wider audience. However, the words "whore" and "fucking" were edited to "wolf" and "mucking" respectively. The conclusion of the song was also edited, replacing the fade-out and the strings with a short guitar solo as the player earns the ending bonus points.

Ghetts' "Menace" 
British grime and rap MC Ghetts' track "Menace" samples the "Welcome Home" riff. "Menace" appeared as track 5 on his 2007 debut studio album, "Ghetto Gospel," when the artist was still known as Ghetto. "Menace" was produced by fellow The Movement MC and producer, Scorcher. The song "was widely accepted in the UK by Grime fans and seen as one of [Ghetts'] classics."

QLT Consumer Lease Services

QLT Consumer Lease Services, formerly AT&T Consumer Lease Services, is a New Jersey-based telephone equipment leasing company. The company provides telephone leasing services to residences and small businesses in the United States. These services include next business day replacement of the leased product for any reason.  

QLT CLS leases the following models made by Western Electric:
 Traditional 500/554 Rotary Phone
 Traditional 2500/2554 Touch-Tone Telephone
 Trimline 220/222 Rotary Desk/Wall phone
 Trimline 2220/2222 Touch-Tone Desk/Wall phone

QLT CLS also leases the following models released post-breakup, manufactured by AT&T Technologies, Lucent Technologies, or Advanced American Telephones:
 Signature Traditional Desk/Wall Model
 Signature Trimline
 Signature Princess

QLT Consumer Lease Services also leases cordless phones, feature phones, answering machines & telephone accessories. 

Customers of Consumer Phone Services, in 2019, number less than a hundred thousand. In 2007, some 580,000 customers still leased phones through the company. A majority of the customers are elderly who have found convenience in simply leasing the same telephone. Most customers are also leftovers from before the 1984 breakup of AT&T, who did not opt to purchase their telephones before the buyout option expired in 1987. One criticism in these cases has been that such customers have paid over ten times the value of the leased phone over the course of many years. Customers do retain the benefit of free replacement if the phone ever breaks and free accessories such as long cords.

On October 1, 2008, AT&T Consumer Lease Services changed its name to QLT Consumer Lease Services.

Steve Platt

Steve Platt is a British journalist and former editor of the New Statesman magazine (in the period when it was known as New Statesman and Society). The fortnightly Statesman column by John Pilger began in 1991, while Platt was editor, after the two men had worked together on media campaigns against the First Gulf war. Platt, "while not securing a spectacular turnaround in the merged New Statesman & Societys fortunes... made it once again readable". Platt was described as "a propagandist, using New Statesman & Society as a platform for various campaigns against executive abuse of state power", and was credited for bringing stability to it by staying with it, remaking it in a September 1994 into "a much glossier magazine with the self-proclaimed 'new politics' of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown". Platt now writes for Red Pepper magazine.

Bing Kong Tong

The Bing Kong Tong () was one of the powerful Tongs in San Francisco's Chinatown during the early 20th century. Since most, if not all, Chinatowns founded in the 19th-century United States were founded by migrants from the province of Canton (known as Guangdong today), many place names were transliterated from the Cantonese dialect. The word 堂, "tong" or "tong4", means "hall". 

Known as the Bing Kong Tong Society (or Bing Kung Association in Seattle, Washington), the organization was one of the largest in California when the Hop Sing and Suey Sing Tongs allied against the Bing Kongs, instigating one of the most violent Tong wars in the United States. As the gang war continued, the numerous murders caught the attention of the press as the often gruesome slayings were detailed. Eventually an investigation headed by Santa Rosa, California, attorney Wallace L. Ware, in cooperation with the district attorney's office, exposed the extent of the Bing Kongs' influence throughout the Chinese American populations along the west coast and southwestern United States (as far as the conviction of four members for a Tong murder in Kingman, Arizona). Weakened by the decade long war against the rival Tongs as well as state authorities, the Bing Kongs would eventually emerge as a trade union, although it is suspected by federal and local law enforcement officials to still have remaining ties to organized crime.

KBBW

KBBW (1010 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Waco, Texas.  It is owned by American Broadcasting of Texas and airs a Christian talk and teaching radio format.  KBBW is powered at 10,000 watts by day.  But because 1010 AM is a Canadian clear channel frequency, KBBW must reduce power at night to 2,500 watts to avoid interference.

In addition to its AM signal, KBBW is relayed by three FM translators, K290CV 105.9 MHz Waco, K267CA 101.3 MHz Temple/Killeen, and K262DG 100.3 MHz in Georgetown/Round Rock.

Programming
KBBW is a brokered time station.  National and local religious leaders buy blocks of time on the station and may use their shows to appeal for donations to their ministries.  National hosts include David Jeremiah, Jim Daly, Chuck Swindoll, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley, J. Vernon McGee, Greg Laurie, Adrian Rogers, Steve Arterburn, Jim Dobson and Billy Graham.  Some programming is supplied by the Salem Radio Network, including a conservative political talk show hosted by attorney Jay Sekulow.

History
In April 1953, the station signed on the air as KMLW in Marlin, Texas.  Its call sign indicated that it served both MarLin and Waco, the larger city nearby.  It was only powered at 250 watts and was a daytimer, required to sign-off at night to avoid interfering with other, more powerful stations on 1010 AM.  It was owned by KMLW, Inc. and had studios on the Marlin-Waco Highway.

By the 1970s, it had gotten Federal Communications Commission permission to move its city of license to Waco.  It got a boost in power to 10,000 watts, but was still a daytime-only station.  It aired a country music format as KKIK.  It carried news from Associated Press Radio.

The station was acquired by American Broadcasting of Texas in 1986.  American Broadcasting switched the format to Christian talk and teaching, now broadcasting 24 hours a day.

Waringstown

Waringstown () is a large village in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies southeast of Lurgan, within the parish of Donaghcloney, and the barony of Iveagh Lower, Lower Half. In the 2011 Census it had a population of 3,683 people. Over the years, the village has been bestowed numerous awards, including "Best Kept Small Town" for its floral displays and pleasant appearance.

History
The area of Waringstown was formerly part of the district of Clanconnell, which was within the Gaelic territory of Iveagh. After the Irish Confederate Wars, in which the sons of Glasney McAgholy Magennis of Clanconnell took part, their lands were confiscated by the English and shared among the Cromwellian soldiers in lieu of pay. By 1659, the area had been sold to Englishman William Waring, who built a fortified house on the site of an old fort. The weaving village of Waringstown developed under the auspices of William Waring and his descendants. Waring's son, Samuel, brought Flemish weavers to the village, building Huguenot style cottages for them, some of which survive today. In the past, the village was renowned for its handloom damask weaving. The industrial focus was at the southern end of the town, where brewing, linen-weaving, and cambric and clothing manufacture were formerly carried out and where some substantial 18th century and 19th century industrial buildings still exist.

On 20 December 1990—during the Troubles—Wilfred Wethers (46), a Protestant off duty Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer, was shot and killed by an Irish Republican Army (IRA) sniper while driving his car in Waringstown.

Cricket
The village has, over the years, been associated with the sport of cricket, something that has been attributed to the area's planters being predominantly from the North of England. The local team, Waringstown Cricket Club, has achieved some success in the NCU Senior League, playing its home matches at The Lawn.
The club was established in 1851, by a member of the Waring family, and its ground was also donated by the family. The popularity of the sport in the village and its influence elsewhere has led to it being dubbed "The Home of Cricket in Ulster". The neighbouring village of Donaghcloney has a similar heritage in the sport.

Education
Waringstown Primary School

Demography
On Census Day (27 March 2011) Waringstown had a population of 3,683 people, an increase of 45.6% on the Census 2001 figure of 2,529.
Of these:
22.4% were aged under 16 years and 11.51% were aged 65 and over
49.69% of the population were male and 50.31% were female
84.14% were from a Protestant or other Christian background and 8.85% were from a Catholic background 
2.79% of people aged 16–74 were unemployed

List of University of Texas at Austin presidents

The complete list of University of Texas at Austin presidents officially includes 28 individuals in the history of the University.  The office of the president was originally established in 1895.

The position did not exist back when the University was established in 1883.  The founders of the University had decided to follow the example of University of Virginia, where Thomas Jefferson, a skeptic of central authority and bureaucracy, had prevented the establishment of such an office years before.  The faculty would retain control, under the regents, through an annually selected chairman.

John William Mallet, a professor of physics, served as the first chairman of the faculty for one year, starting in 1883.  Mallet was followed by William LeRoy Broun, who served only briefly.  Leslie Waggener received the position in 1884, and served until 1894.  Waggener subsequently served as president ad interim until his death in 1896.  George Tayloe Winston, who took over in 1896, is officially considered the first president of The University of Texas.

President Logan Wilson concurrently served as acting chancellor in 1954, until the chancellorship was abolished in September of that year.  The position was re-instated in 1960, upon which Wilson left the presidency to become chancellor.  In 1963, the office of the president itself was abolished.  The chancellor of The University of Texas System, Harry Ransom, assumed the duties of the presidency until the position's re-establishment in 1967.

Mojarra

The mojarras are a family, Gerreidae, of fish in the order Perciformes. The family includes about 53 species found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate regions. They mostly inhabit coastal salt and brackish waters, although some occur in fresh water.

Mojarras are a common prey and bait fish in many parts of the world, including the South American coast and Caribbean islands as well as the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of North America.  These species tend to be difficult to identify in the field and often require microscopic examination.  Most species exhibit a schooling behavior and tend to exploit the shallow water refugia associated with coastal areas presumably to avoid large-bodied predators, such as the lemon shark.

Mojarra is also commonly used in Latin American countries as a name for various species of the cichlid family, including tilapia.

Genera
The seven genera currently assigned to this family are:
 †Aspesiperca Bannikov 2008 (only known from fossil remains)
 †Gerreidarum  (only known from fossilized otolith remains)
 Deckertichthys Vergara-Solana, 2014
 Diapterus Ranzani, 1842
 Eucinostomus Baird & Girard, 1855
 Eugerres Jordan & Evermann, 1927
 Gerres Quoy & Gaimard, 1824
 Parequula Steindachner, 1879

P&O Portsmouth

P&O Portsmouth was the name for P&O European Ferries' Portsmouth operations from 1999 to 2002 when it was merged with the Dover Operations to become P&O Ferries.

History

P&O Portsmouth was formed in 1999 when P&O European Ferries Portsmouth Operations were named after the merger of the Dover Operations with Stena Line to make P&O Stena Line, when in 2002 P&O bought Stena's 20% share in P&O Stena Line so the North Sea Operations and the Portsmouth operations were merged with the Dover Operations to make P&O Ferries.

The livery of the ships remained the same as before but later the words www.poportsmouth.com were added on the hull until it became P&O Ferries when this was removed and P&O's new livery was placed on ships with poferries.com was added instead.

Demise
P&O Portsmouth was run until 2002, when it was then renamed P&O Ferries and brought under the same management and ownership as P&O on the English Channel which occurred after P&O bought Stena Line 40% share in P&O Stena Line. The operations from Portsmouth remained largely unchanged except from a simple livery change during the 2002-2003 round of refits and services were continued as normal. The eventual demise of the Portsmouth services occurred in 2004 and 2005 when during a business review, along with the other P&O Ferries services, cuts were made.

On 14 January 2005, the Portsmouth-Cherbourg service was closed down and the Pride of Cherbourg was returned to its owners Irish Continental Group and later became Kaitaki for New Zealands Interislander. The Portsmouth-Le Havre network then later closed down in September 2005 when Pride of Portsmouth and Pride of Le Havre were returned to TT-Line and laid up in Falmouth prior to their sale to SNAV. Only the Portsmouth-Bilbao service remained but was also closed down in 2010 when the charter of Pride of Bilbao expired in September 2010, she was also herself returned to Irish Continental Group and later became Princess Anastasia for St. Peter Line in Russia.

The also short-lived Portsmouth-Caen service was closed down in October 2004 along with the Cherbourg link when the Caen Express (Max Mols) was returned to Mols-Linien.

Tarentaise Valley

The Tarentaise Valley (, ; ) is a valley of the Isère River in the heart of the French Alps, located in the Savoy region of France. The valley is named for the ancient town of Darantasia, the capital of the pre-Roman Centrones tribe.

Description
At the foot of the valley, in the west, is the city of Albertville. Going east up the valley, Moûtiers is reached, then Aime, and finally the last large town, Bourg-Saint-Maurice.

The area is internationally best known for its world-renowned ski resorts, including Les Trois Vallées (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens etc.—off a side valley from Moûtiers), Paradiski with La Plagne above Aime, and Les Arcs above Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Espace Killy with Tignes and Val-d'Isère is further up the valley. These communities hosted most of the events for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics. A weekly lift ticket in any of the described systems gives skiers a choice to ski one day in each of the other two systems mentioned. There were once plans to interlink all systems and resorts to create the—by far—largest ski area in the world. However that vision was ended with the creation of the Vanoise National Park. Other ski areas includes Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, La Rosière, and Valmorel.

In the winter, the valley is a cul-de-sac, with its road finishing at Val d'Isere. In the summer, there is a pass over to the Maurienne Valley at the head of the valley (the Col de l'Iseran), and a couple of others further down, including the Little St Bernard Pass eastwards to Italy via La Rosiere and La Thuile and the Cormet de Roselend northwards.

Both sides of the valley, but especially the sunnier northern side, have rural farming communities all the way along. The colder southern side tends to be dominated by the ski resorts but has occasional small hamlets.

Transport
The valley has a railway as far as Bourg-Saint-Maurice, which, in the winter season, has various direct sleeper trains from Paris and Eurostar trains from London. The valley road (the N90) is dual carriageway as far as Moûtiers, after which it becomes a standard two-lane but single-carriageway road, which can see substantial queues in winter. This road is currently receiving funding from the European Union for a significant improvement project between Aime and Moûtiers, one of the narrowest points in the valley.

1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane

1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (PhPCH) (Ph = phenyl). It is a commonly used bidentate ligand in coordination chemistry. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents.

Preparation
The preparation of dppe is by the alkylation of NaPPh:
P(CH) + 2 Na → NaP(CH) + NaCH
NaP(CH), which is readily air-oxidized, is treated with 1,2-dichloroethane (ClCHCHCl) to give dppe:
2 NaP(CH) + ClCHCHCl → (CH)PCHCHP(CH) + 2 NaCl

Reactions
The reduction of dppe by lithium to give PhHP(CH)PHPh has been reported.
PhP(CH)PPh + 4 Li → PhLiP(CH)PLiPh + 2 PhLi
Hydrolysis gives the bis(secondary phosphine):
PhLiP(CH)PLiPh + 2 PhLi + 4HO → PhHP(CH)PHPh + 4 LiOH + 2 CH

Treatment of dppe with conventional oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (HO), aqueous bromine (Br), etc., produces dppeO in low yield (e.g., 13%) as a result of non-selective oxidation. Selective mono-oxidation of dppe can be achieved by reaction with PhCHBr to give dppeO.

Hydrogenation of dppe gives the ligand bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane.

Coordination complexes
Many coordination complexes of dppe are known, and some are used as homogeneous catalysts.  Dppe is almost invariably chelating, although there are examples of monodentate (e.g., W(CO)(dppe)) and of bridging behavior.  The natural bite angle is 86°.

Nevelsk

Nevelsk (; , Honto) is a port town and the administrative center of Nevelsky District of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located on the southwest coast of the Sakhalin Island,  from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population:

History
The first Russian settlers founded a village on the present site of Nevelsk in 1789. The region was the site of a struggle for control between the Russians and Japanese. After the Treaty of Shimoda officially transferred the southern Kuril Islands to Japan in 1855, the settlement was placed under joint Russian-Japanese administration under the name Honto it comes from the Ainu language.

Honto reverted to complete Russian administration in 1875, as the Treaty of Saint Petersburg gave control of all the Kuril Islands to Japan, in exchange for complete Russian sovereignty over the island of Sakhalin. It then returned to Japanese rule in 1905, after the Treaty of Portsmouth ceded southern Sakhalin to Japan to end the Russo-Japanese War.

Sakhalin's first ice-free harbor was constructed here between 1916 and 1927, and the settlement developed as a center for the local fishing industry.

The end of World War II saw the Soviet Army retake the full island of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The settlement was granted town status in 1947 under its present name, in honor of Admiral Gennady Nevelskoy.

The town was damaged by the 2007 Sakhalin earthquake (near the Tatar Strait),  leaving about two thousand people homeless.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Nevelsk serves as the administrative center of Nevelsky District and is subordinated to it. As a municipal division, the town of Nevelsk and ten rural localities of Nevelsky District are incorporated as Nevelsky Urban Okrug.

Economy
The town's economy relies largely on fishing and associated industries. Due to relatively warm ocean currents, the town is located in the mildest climatic zone on the island of Sakhalin, making possible agriculture in the surrounding region. There have been recent efforts to develop the area as a tourist area for marine animal viewing, diving and yachting.

The  HSCS-Hokkaido-Sakhalin Cable System.   undersea fiber optic cable runs between Ishikari (Hokkaido, Japan) and Nevelsk.

Climate
Nevelsk has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with cold winters, warm summers and generally heavy precipitation from the Aleutian Low, whose winds hit the town direct from the Sea of Japan.
