Peter Deakin (rugby)

Peter Deakin (18 October 1953 – 1 February 2003) was a rugby league and rugby union administrator. He also had a short career as a professional rugby league player.

Biography
Deakin made four appearances in professional rugby league as a  for Oldham (Heritage No. 826), but was forced to retire due to injury.

After a spell learning the industry of sports marketing in America, he returned to England and joined Bradford Bulls as a marketing executive in 1995. Along with coach Brian Smith, Deakin helped revolutionise the club's image ahead of the inaugural Super League season. As a result, crowds at Odsal Stadium rose sharply; the club's average crowd was over 10,000 in 1996, and by the end of the club's second season in Super League in 1997, the average attendance was over 15,000.

Following this success, Saracens owner Nigel Wray lured him to Watford, where he delivered five-figure crowds for Premiership club Saracens, including the then record 19,000 crowd at Saracens Watford home.

His love of Rugby League proved too great, however, and he leapt at the chance to take over at Warrington Wolves. However, he felt there were those at Wilderspool who did not share his vision, and after securing the Community Stadium (now renamed Halliwell Jones Stadium), he left.

After a short tenure he bought into the vision of Sale Sharks' owner Brian Kennedy and started the processes which eventually led to Sale Sharks crowds of over 10,000, and the Guinness Premiership victory in 2006. Peter was hit by the cancer, and although he battled bravely and had another spell at Saracens, it finally ended his life prematurely in 2003.

Peter was remembered by the naming of the Man of the Match Trophy in the Guinness Premiership Final.

Krusha massacres

The Krusha massacres (, ) near Rahovec, Kosovo, were two massacres that took place during the Kosovo War on the afternoon of 25 March 1999, the day after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began.

At that time, witnesses reported that special police unit entered the village and separated the men and boys, and killed around 100 men and male teenagers over the age of 13. Human Right Watch reported that more than 98 men were killed. Then, the women and children were forced out. In 2020, Darko Tasić, a local Serb from the same village and member of the police reserve forces was convicted as one of the perpetrators of the massacre. It is one of the first cases in which the trial of one of the perpetrators has concluded.

One of witnesses of the murder was British journalist John Sweeney, who was in the place of the murder in that time, saw disposal of dead bodies in the Drini river, and later was an important witness of the trials of Krusha massacres.

The massacre at Krushë e Madhe became a part of war crimes indictment against Slobodan Milošević and other Serbian political and military leaders:

Señor Frog's

Señor Frog's (Mister Frog) is a Mexican-themed franchised bar and grill in tourist destinations throughout Mexico, the Caribbean, Tenerife, and the United States.

In Mexico and the western Caribbean, about 75% of its revenues come from alcoholic beverage sales. In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, however, the company has been unable to promote drinking as successfully; food outsells liquor there by a slight margin.

The parent company, Grupo Anderson's, is headquartered in Cancun, Mexico.

History 
Señor Frog's was founded in 1971 by Chuy Juarez and Carlos Anderson in Mazatlán, Mexico. The goal was to create a lively and casual dining atmosphere that would appeal to both locals and tourists.

Señor Frog's is owned by Grupo Anderson's, founded in 1963, who claims there are more than 50 restaurants makes it Mexico's largest restaurateur. In addition to Señor Frog's, Grupo Anderson's owns the Carlos'n Charlie's chain.

Bishopp baronets

The Bishopp Baronetcy, of Parham in the County of Sussex, was a baronetcy in the Baronetage of England. From around 1780 the name was sometimes also spelled Bisshopp. It was created 24 July 1620 for Sir Thomas Bishopp who had previously represented Gatton in Parliament. He was by then almost 70 years old and who had earlier been created a knight by King James I on 7 May 1603 at Theobalds, shortly after James's accession to the throne. Thomas Bishopp was the son of Thomas Bishopp and Elizabeth Belknap, heir and daughter of Sir Edward Belknap, who was active in the service of the English crown, both on the battlefield and as a court official.

The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Steyning and Bramber. The fourth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Bramber. The sixth Baronet represented Penrhyn and Boroughbridge in Parliament. The eighth Baronet was Member of Parliament for New Shoreham. In 1815 the abeyance of the ancient Barony of Zouche was terminated in his favour, as a descendant through his mother from the Honourable Elizabeth la Zouche, eldest daughter of Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche, on whose death in 1625 the barony had fallen into abeyance. However, on Lord Zouche's death in 1828 the Barony once again fell into abeyance while he was succeeded in the baronetcy (but not the family estate at Parham) by his cousin. The title became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1870.

The second son of the first Baronet Henry Bishopp, (1611–1691), was a Postmaster General of England and inventor of the first postmark used on mail.

They had a son Cecil Augustus Hillyar Bisshopp who died 5 May 1845, aged 6 months and was buried in the Protestant cemetery in Jerusalem. Sir Cecil was ordained in Malta by the Bishop of Gibraltar in 1844. In the Summer of 1845 Bisshopp was instituted as a clergyman at Charles Church, Plymouth. In December 1846 his frail health forced him to resign his vicarage, proceeding to Malta. His tomb (made of Italian marble) is located in the Msida Bastion Historic Garden, in Floriana, Malta.  His wife was pregnant when he died and the following month gave birth to a daughter, Mary Cecil Augusta Bisshopp.

William Malet (exile)

William Malet (died c. 1121) was the third of his family to hold the honour of Eye and the lordship of  in Normandy. He was either the younger brother, son, or nephew of Robert Malet – in other words, either a son or grandson of the first William Malet.

Before 1066, the older William Malet was the Lord of Graville, in Normandy and is known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings, helping to secure the crown of England for William, Duke of Normandy. The Malets were reputedly related by blood or marriage to both William the Conqueror and King Harold of England.

William Malet the younger forfeited his English lands and was banished from England, some time between the older Malet's death, circa 1106, and 1113. (Several other barons lost their lands in 1110, so that year is a likely date.) The precise cause is not known, but may be connected to conflict between King Henry I of England and King Louis VI of France.

After his exile from England, Malet re-established himself in Normandy where he retained the Lordship of Graville. His descendants rose to prominence in France through their military exploits for the French crown.

Robert H. Adams

Robert Huntington Adams (1792 – July 2, 1830) was an American lawyer and politician from the state of Mississippi. He was briefly a member of the United States Senate, suddenly dying six months after his election to that body.

Biography

Early years

Robert Huntington Adams was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia in 1792; as was common in the 18th century, the day and month went unrecorded. He learned the trade of barrelmaking there and worked several years at that task.

By 1806, Adams had attained sufficient learning to graduate from Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) at Lexington, Virginia. He subsequently studied law, was admitted to the bar, and started a legal practice in Knoxville, Tennessee. Then following a brief residence in Nashville, he relocated to Natchez, Mississippi where he rose to prominence as an attorney and politician.

Adams was reckoned by U.S. Senator Henry S. Foote to be an able orator despite an inferior formal education, able to expound upon a great variety of subjects in such a compelling manner that his listeners felt themselves in the presence of "one of nature's most wonderful productions."

Political career

Adams was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1828, representing a district including the city of Natchez there.

In the 19th century, state legislatures elected U.S. Senators, sometimes creating unusual paths for advancement. This was particularly true in the case of Robert Adams, who barely one year after being elected a state representative was surprisingly tapped to fill the seat vacated the recently deceased Thomas B. Reed, narrowly winning election to the open seat by vote of the legislature in a four-man field.

Adams, a Jacksonian, advanced to the office and was sworn in on January 6, 1830. He served in Washington, D.C. throughout the winter and spring, returning to Mississippi for summer recess in May of that year.

Death and legacy

Not long after his return to Natchez, Adams was stricken ill and died suddenly on July 2, 1830, at the age of just 38. His body was interred in Natchez City Cemetery.

Adams was remembered by Henry Foote as a talented and able public speaker for whom "there is no knowing what amount of fame he might have acquired, or what wonders he would have achieved upon the theatre of national affairs" had he not suffered a premature death.

Barri Jones

Geraint Dyfed Barri Jones  (4 April 1936 – 16 July 1999) was a classical scholar and archaeologist.

Born in St Helens to Welsh-speaking parents, he attended High Wycombe Royal Grammar School (where his father was the senior modern languages master and his mother also taught) from 1947–54, and won a Welsh Foundation Scholarship to read classics at Jesus College, Oxford.

Fieldwork and excavations

Jones achieved a great deal as a young man, identifying new archaeological sites while a teenager. He was elected to the Rome Scholarship for Classical Studies in 1959. From 1959 to 1962, Jones took part in the South Etruria Survey directed by John Bryan Ward-Perkins of the British School at Rome.  After receiving his D.Phil. from Oxford, Jones continued to work in Italy, analyzing aerial photographs of Apulia, leading to important discoveries at Foggia.  In 1964, he took an appointment at the University of Manchester. While there, he conducted numerous field surveys and excavations of Roman sites in Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria and Derbyshire. He also worked at Dolaucothi, a Roman gold mine in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, his research there with Dr Peter R Lewis transforming knowledge about this unique site. He excavated the fort nearby, as well as at Carmarthen.

Libya
Jones worked in North Africa for the Society for Libyan Studies, discovering the city of Hadrianopolis by tracing its aqueduct. He was very much involved in rescue archaeology throughout his career.  Jones was attracted to frontier areas, an interest reflected in his work.  Among his students were John Lloyd, John Little, Nicholas Higham and David Mattingly.

William Malet (Magna Carta baron)

William Malet (born before 1175–1215), feudal baron of Curry Mallet in Somerset, was one of the guarantors of Magna Carta. In 1190, he accompanied King Richard the Lionheart on third crusade.  While still on crusade in 1191, he took part in the Siege of Acre.  Upon   returning to England, he served as Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset in 1209. The precise nature of his relationship to an earlier William Malet is unknown.

William Malet was one of the rebel barons who were heavily indebted to King John.  It is believed that by 1214 he owed the king as much as £1333. In 1214 he entered into an agreement to serve with the king along with 10 knights and 20 other soldiers in exchange for the cancellation of his debts.  However, the agreement broke down for an unknown reason and by 1215 he joined the rebellion.

William Malet seems to have died just a few months after Magna Carta was executed by King John.

Landholdings
Amongst the manors comprising his feudal barony were his caput of Curry Mallet, where stood his castle, and Shepton Mallet in Somerset.

Marriages and progeny
He married twice but left no male progeny, only three daughters and co-heiresses, who divided their father's estate.

By his first wife, whose name is unknown, Malet had a daughter.
Mabel Malet, married firstly Nicholas Avenel and secondly, before November 1223, Hugh de Vivonia (d.1249) (alias de Forz) of Chewton, Somerset.

By his second wife, Alice Basset, who was a daughter of Thomas Basset, Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire, William Malet had a daughter:
Bertha Malet (d.pre-1221), who died unmarried.
Hawise Malet, who at some time before 23 March 1217 married Hugh I Poyntz (d.1220). She married secondly Robert de Mucegros (d.1254) of Brewham, Somerset.

Chauncey Beadle

Chauncey Delos Beadle (August 5, 1866 in St. Catharines, Canada West – 1950) was a Canadian-born botanist and horticulturist active in the southern United States.  He was educated in horticulture at Ontario Agricultural College (1884) and Cornell University (1889).  In 1890 the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted hired him to oversee the nursery at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina on a temporary basis. Olmsted had been impressed by Beadle's "encyclopedic" knowledge of plants.  Beadle ended up working at Biltmore for more than 60 years, until his death in 1950. He is best known for his horticultural work with azaleas, and described several species and varieties of plants from the southern Appalachian region. He and three friends, including his "driver and companion" Sylvester Owens, styled themselves the Azalea Hunters. The group traveled over the eastern United States for a period of fifteen years, studying and collecting native plants. In 1940 Beadle donated his entire collection of 3,000 plants to Biltmore Estates.

He also designed the landscape at Gunston Hall, Biltmore Forest, North Carolina and Intheoaks at Black Mountain, North Carolina.

Beadle wrote scientific papers describing new species and varieties of North American plants, for example, papers in the journal Biltmore Botanical Studies and his major work on the genus Crataegus (hawthorns) in John Kunkel Small's 1903 book Flora of the Southeastern United States. (See, for example,  to the scientific description of Florida Mock-orange, Philadelphus floridus.) Two of his important collaborators at Biltmore were Charles Lawrence Boynton and Frank Ellis Boynton. In popular literature, Beadle wrote the Introduction for Alice Lounsberry's Southern Wildflowers and Trees.

Aurora (train)

The Aurora was a domestic Trans Europ Express in Italy linking Rome with Reggio di Calabria. The train was named after the Roman goddess of dawn, referring to the train's early morning departure from Rome.

Trans Europ Express
The Aurora was based on existing first-class only Rapidos running between Rome and Naples. In 1974 the service was extended to Reggio di Calabria and upgraded to Trans Europ Express. The southbound service used the schedule of Rapido 893, the northbound service the schedule of Rapido 882 already running from Reggio to Rome. Despite the scenic route along the Tyrrhenian sea between Naples and Reggio di Calabria, loading figures on this stretch were very low and consequently the Aurora was downgraded to a two-class Rapido after only 371 days as TEE on 1 June 1975. On 1 June 1980 the service was extended to Palermo using the train ferry to cross the Strait of Messina. On 30 May 1987 the rapido Aurora was withdrawn from service.

CityNightLine

Later CityNightLine revived the name for its train which services the Basel-Copenhagen route:

The stations  served by the Aurora are:

Arthur Pougin

Arthur Pougin ( 6 August 1834 – 8 August 1921) was a French musical and dramatic critic and writer. He was born at Châteauroux (Indre) and studied music at the Conservatoire de Paris under Alard (violin) and Reber (harmony). In 1855 he became conductor at the Théâtre Beaumarchais, and afterward leader at Musard's concerts, subconductor at the Folies-Nouvelles, and from 1860 to 1863 he was first violin at the Opéra-Comique. He was in turn feuilletoniste to Le Soir, La Tribune, L'Événement and Le Journal Officiel, besides being a frequent contributor to all the important French musical periodicals. His work in connection with Fétis's Biographie universelle, for which he prepared a supplement (two volumes, 1878–80), has, however, been found to be lacking in thoroughness. He edited the new edition of Clément and Larousse's Dictionnaire lyrique.

Pougin died in Paris at age 87.

Joseph W. Chalmers

Joseph Williams Chalmers (December 20, 1806June 16, 1853) was a United States senator from Mississippi.

Biography 
Born in Halifax County, Virginia, he studied law in the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, and in Richmond. He was admitted to the bar and practiced.

He moved with his family to Jackson, Tennessee in 1835 and to Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1839, practicing law in both places. He followed the rapid expansion of the cotton industry in the Deep South.

Chalmers was appointed as vice chancellor of the northern Mississippi district in 1842 and 1843. He was appointed to and subsequently elected by the Mississippi legislature as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert J. Walker, serving from November 3, 1845, to March 4, 1847. While in the Senate, Chalmers was chairman of the Committee on Engrossed Bills (29th United States Congress). He was the Uncle to Jefferson Davis and had the future Confederate General become a protege with him while studying law. (The Papers by Jefferson Davis 1841=1846)

Chalmers engaged in the practice of law in Holly Springs until his death in 1853; interment was in Hill Crest Cemetery.

His son James Ronald Chalmers was first elected in 1876 as a U.S. Representative from Mississippi's 6th congressional district, serving from 1877 to 1884. His term was interrupted in 1882, as his election in 1880 had been contested by John R. Lynch, his Republican opponent. Congress seated Lynch for the remainder of the term. In 1882 Chalmers won as an Independent Democrat.

Sidi Brahim Barracks

Sidi Brahim Barracks () is a former army barracks in Étain, France, just off highway N3 to Metz.

The name Sidi Brahim comes from a tomb located in western Algeria near the Moroccan frontier. On September 21, 1845, a detachment of men from the 8th Chasseurs d'Orléans and some attached individuals fought a large force of Berber tribesmen twenty times their number near that location.  The fight lasted 3 days as the French struggled to escape.  In the end only a handful survived.  The battle lent its name to their marching song and later to a French veterans' organization that sprung up.

A barracks named after Sidi Brahim was located just blocks from the center of Étain. It was given this name in honor of the French Chasseurs à pied () that were stationed there in 1913 and 1914 until shortly before the Germans arrived. In 1916 the battalion was commanded by one of the great heroes of the Battle of Verdun, Lieutenant Colonel Driant.  When the German attack began they were located at Cavres near Fort Douaumont and received the first onslaught.  Within days the unit was annihilated and the commander killed, but the delay helped save the French army.  Their name is legend in France.

The barracks was rebuilt after World War I for the French 6th military district and served in that capacity until the Germans returned in 1940.  The premises were badly damaged when the U.S. 3rd Army under General Patton was pinned down here for some months in 1944 after running out of fuel nearby. They were fiercely attacked by the retreating German army and were immobilised in and around Sidi Brahim until the Battle of the Bulge three months later.

For a while after the war the base was home for the French Army’s 702nd Material Company.  In 1950 it was transferred to the U.S. Army and was occupied by various small units as the Cold War developed.  In 1957 the 55th Transportation Company was transfereved here from Busac Frsance to haule Jet fuel and Gasoline to different bases in France and Germany. in 1961 it was the home of the 82nd Transportation Company when two companies from the 97th Engineer Battalion (Construction) were relocated there at the beginning of the Berlin Wall Crisis.  The base remained in American hands until 1967, when it reverted to French control.

Sidi Brahim Barracks is no longer an active military base and is being used as a civilian industrial area (See 2004 photo of portion of base).

Stalag IV-G

Stalag IV-G was a German World War II prisoner-of-war camp (Stammlager) for NCOs and enlisted men. It was not a camp in the usual sense, but a series of Arbeitslager ("Work Camps") scattered throughout the state of Saxony, administered from a central office on Lutherstraße in Oschatz, a small town situated between Leipzig and Dresden.

Camp history

The camp operated from February 1941. The International Red Cross, following an inspection tour of 11–16 March 1945, reported that there were a total of 5,233 prisoners, of which 4,457 were British and Commonwealth, and 776 American. Of these only 20 POW were at the HQ in Oschatz, performing administration tasks, while the rest were assigned to 76 separate Arbeitskommando ("Work details"), working in agriculture, forestry, and industry. The Arbeitskommando varied in size from around 20 to over 100 men, who worked between 8 and 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, with only Sundays free. The report notes the generally poor health of the Americans, and some British, who were suffering from the effects of being marched from camps further east.

The area around Oschatz was one of the last to be liberated at the end of the war. In May 2005 the Oschatzer Heimatverein e.V. organised an exhibition to commemorate the liberation and Stalag IV-G. In 2007 the exhibition in the Oschatz Town Hall was made permanent.

Moment matrix

In mathematics, a moment matrix is a special symmetric square matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by monomials. The entries of the matrix depend on the product of the indexing monomials only (cf. Hankel matrices.)

Moment matrices play an important role in polynomial fitting, polynomial optimization (since positive semidefinite moment matrices correspond to polynomials which are sums of squares) and econometrics.

Application in regression
A multiple linear regression model can be written as

where  is the explained variable,  are the explanatory variables,  is the error, and  are unknown coefficients to be estimated. Given observations , we have a system of  linear equations that can be expressed in matrix notation.

or

where  and  are each a vector of dimension ,  is the design matrix of order , and  is a vector of dimension . Under the Gauss–Markov assumptions, the best linear unbiased estimator of  is the linear least squares estimator , involving the two moment matrices  and  defined as

Bárbara (comics)

Bárbara is the title of an Argentine science fiction comic book series written by Ricardo Barreiro and drawn by Juan Zanotto, and the name of its protagonist. It was first published in the magazine Skorpio in 1979  and ended in 1982.

Synopsis
The series is set on Earth after an invasion by an alien humanoid race called the Adri. After an attack that reduces Earth to a primitive state, they send a race of killer robots to the planet's surface, "The Beasts", with the task of enslaving any human survivors.

Bárbara is a member of a subdued tribe living in the area of what was once Buenos Aires, who worships one of the Beasts through human sacrifices.  After Bárbara refuses to submit to the ritual of rape by one of the priests of the cult, she is subsequently expelled.  She manages to survive the perils of the marshy area of the former metropolis and enters into one of the Adri's bases. She then discovers the deception perpetrated on her race, and decides to start a rebellion, called the Great Revolt.

She also receives telepathic powers, which enable her to communicate with plants and animals.  The same capabilities can now be found in the new generation of humans, but even more powerful than hers, and they are instrumental to the final destruction of the alien invaders.
