Sei whale

The **sei whale** (*Balaenoptera borealis*) is a dark-gray, stream-lined baleen whale that is found worldwide except in polar waters. It swims in small pods of 3-5 whales but larger groups may form at rich feeding grounds. It has very fine grey-black baleen that traps very small particles of food. It is a rorqual whale (a large baleen whale) that is similar to the Bryde's whales.

## Description 
The Sei whale is also called the **Sardine whale**, the **Pollack whale**, the **Coalfish whale**, the **Japan Finner**, and '''Rudolphi's rorqual'''. Large numbers of these whales were hunted until recently for their oil and meat. It is the fastest of the great whales and can swim at about 23&nbsp;mph (20 knots) in short bursts.

## Diet 
Sei whales are carnivores that filter-feed plankton (tiny crustaceans like krill, copepods, etc.) and small fish from the water.

Vithoba

**Vithoba** (also known as **Vitthala** and **Panduranga)** is a Hindu god worshipped mainly in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. He is generally considered a form of the Hindu god Vishnu or Krishna. In stone images and pictures, he is shown as a dark young boy. He stands on a brick with his hands on his waist. His wife Rukmini or Rakhumai stands with him.

Vithoba's main temple is at Pandharpur in Maharashtra. It is close to its border with Karnataka. Two Hindu sects, the Varkari sect of Maharashtra and Haridasa sect of Karnataka worship Vithoba as their main god. The Varkari poet-saints have written devotional poems called *abhanga*s in praise of god Vithoba. The abhangas are written in the language Marathi. The Haridasa poets have also written poems, devoted to Vithoba in the Kannada language. The two most important festivals associated with Vithoba are *Shayani Ekadashi* in the Hindu month of Ashadha, and *Prabodini Ekadashi* in the Hindu month of Kartik.

Breadalbane, New South Wales

**Breadalbane** () is a small village on the Lachlan River in New South Wales, Australia. It is near Goulburn in the Upper Lachlan Shire. This little town is also on the Hume Highway which links Sydney and Melbourne. The highway used to go through the small town but it was bypassed in the early 1990s. Breadalbane is also on the Sydney-Melbourne railway line.

Breadalbane is also near the start of the Federal Highway. This branches off the Hume Highway just south of Goulburn and goes to Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. Canberra is the capital city of Australia where the Federal Parliament sits.

## History
Breadalbane is a historic town. There are now only a few houses. In the past there was a hotel, service station and a railway station. These are now closed, although the old hotel and service station buildings are still there. They are now used as private houses. The railway station opened in 1875 and closed in 1974. The signal box was still used until 1979. All trace of the station has been removed, although a loading bank is still standing.

There is a memorial at the school to people from Breadalbane who fought in World War II. It has 40 names on it.

Gundaroo

**Gundaroo** is a small village in New South Wales, Australia. It is in the Yass Valley Shire.  It is built near the Yass River. Gundaroo is about 16 kms north of Sutton and about 15&nbsp;km west of the Lake George range.  About 300 people live there.

## History
The explorers Charles Throsby and Joseph Wild travelled through the Yass River valley in 1820.  The Aborigines called the valley *Candariro* which means *blue crane*. This name might be the meaning of the word Gundaroo.  Governor Lachlan Macquarie gave the first Europen settler, Peter Cooney, 30 acres in 1825.  Other farms were started quickly with about 400 people in the 1840s. The Harrow Inn (hotel) was built in 1834.  A post office was built in 1848 and an Anglican church, St Lukes in Upper Gundaroo (now part of a pottery business), in 1849. The first school opened in 1850 and a Police station in 1852.  When gold was discovered in the area in 1852 many more people came to the town.

Gundaroo has become a place where people who work in Canberra can live. It is a village for tourists from Canberra to visit because of its well cared for historic buildings.

River Wear

The **Wear** is a river in northeast England. It starts in Wearhead, County Durham and opens up into the North Sea at Sunderland.

## Industrial past 
Much of the River Wear shows the history of the Industrial Revolution. Its upper end runs through lead mining country, until this gives way to coal seams of the Durham coalfield for the rest of its length. As a result of limestone quarrying, lead mining and coal mining, the Wear valley was amongst the first places to see the development of railways. The Weardale Railway continues to run occasional services between Stanhope and Wolsingham.

## Geology 
The upland area of Upper Weardale has a flora which survives from the end of the last Ice Age. After the Ice Age, the Wear valley became thickly forested. During the Neolithic period and increasingly in the Bronze Age, the forests were progressively cleared for agriculture.

Rutland Boughton

** Rutland Boughton ** (23 January 1878, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire &ndash; 25 January 1960, London) was an English composer.  He was well known in the early 20th century as a composer of opera and choral music. 

Boughton studied with Charles Villiers Stanford and Walford Davies.  He wrote many different kinds of music including symphonies, concertos, part-songs, songs, chamber music and opera.  His best known work was the opera *The Immortal Hour*. His carol *Bethlehem* (1915) became very popular in England and in many other countries.

He was a great admirer of the composer Richard Wagner who had built his own theatre, the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, in the German town of Bayreuth.  Boughton wanted to create an "English Bayreuth" at Glastonbury, so he started the series of Glastonbury Festivals that took place from 1914 until 1926. From 1927 until his death in 1960, he lived at Kilcot near Newent, Gloucestershire.

Bayreuth Festspielhaus

The **Bayreuth Festspielhaus** (*Bayreuth Festival Theatre*) is an opera house in the town of Bayreuth, Germany. The German opera composer Richard Wagner got the opera house built so that his own music could be performed properly. He had lots of ideas about how opera should be performed, and he thought that there was no opera house in Germany that was good enough for performances of his operas. Today it is still the place where every year there is a festival, the Bayreuth Festival, which is dedicated only to the operas of Richard Wagner.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria was a great admirer of Richard Wagner and he gave a lot of money for the opera house to be built. Wagner watched the construction all the time and made sure that everything was built in the way he wanted. Work on the building started on 22 May 1872 (Wagner's birthday), and it was ready four years later when, for the first time, all four operas which make up the cycle called *Der Ring des Nibelungen* (*The Ring of the Nibelung*), were performed.

The opera house is big enough for an audience of 1,925. One unusual thing is the orchestra pit, which is right under the stage, covered by a hood, so that the orchestra cannot be seen at all by the audience. Wagner wanted the audience to be able to concentrate properly on the action on the stage instead of being distracted by watching the orchestra. It makes it very difficult for the orchestra and the singers to be together, and conductors have to get used to the problem.

The Festspielhaus also has a double proscenium, which makes it look as if the stage is farther away than it actually is.
Port Glasgow

**Port Glasgow** is a town in Inverclyde, Scotland, UK.

Newark Castle stands very close to the shore of the Clyde. The castle dates to around 1484. It is now a visitor attraction maintained by Historic Scotland. Several acres of the Clyde foreshore at Parklea are owned by the National Trust for Scotland. Coronation Park is in the town centre. The park was opened on the site of the West Harbour in 1937 to celebrate the coronation of King George VI.

**Largs** is a town in North Ayrshire, Scotland, UK. It is about  from Glasgow. The original name means "the slopes" (*An Leargaidh*) in Scottish Gaelic.
Hydrofoil

]]
A **hydrofoil** is a type of boat that can lift its hull out of the water with a pair of special wings underwater. These wings are like the wings of an airplane.

## How it works 
When a hydrofoil moves quickly, its wings allow it to fly. When this happens the boat is said to be in *foilborne*. The result of flying means less of the boat is touching the water and can make the boat have less drag which allows it to move faster (drag slows a boat down). Special floats keeps the boat out of the water when going fast .

Christmas 1994 nor'easter

The '''Christmas 1994 nor'easter''' was a strong cyclone along the East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada. It developed from an area of low pressure in the southeast Gulf of Mexico near the Florida Keys, and moved across the state of Florida.

## Meteorological history
A weather system moved towards the southeast from the central Great Plains into the Deep South of the United States. After entering the Gulf of Mexico, the weather system became a cyclone.

The cyclone was said to be a "hybrid" storm. The cyclone quickly gained strength in warm waters from the Gulf Stream, and because of cold air over the United States. The system continued to become stronger while moving within the Gulf Stream. The storm developed central atmospheric convection, which is unusual for a storm of its type. Extratropical cyclone. Also, the system developed an eye, which is usually seen in tropical cyclones. Later, it moved over southeastern New York State. On December 25, which is Christmas Day, the system began to lose strength as it moved towards Nova Scotia, before the pair of low pressure systems moved out to sea early on December 26.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

**Samuel Coleridge-Taylor** (born London, 15 August 1875; died Croydon,  1 September 1912) was an English composer.

Coleridge-Taylor died in Holborn, London.  His black father was a doctor from Sierra Leone,  his mother was English. His parents were not married. The father went back to Africa by February 1875. He had the job of coroner for the British Empire in the Gambia in the late 1890s.  He did not know he had a son.

## Life
Coleridge-Taylor was brought up in Croydon .  He studied the violin at the Royal College of Music and composition with Charles Villiers Stanford.  In 1899, he married Jessie Walmisley who had been a student with him at the RCM.  Her parents did not want her to be married to someone of  mixed race.  The couple had a son, Hiawatha (1900-1980) and a daughter, Avril, born Gwendolyn (1903-1998).

Soon Coleridge-Taylor became known as a composer.  Edward Elgar helped him get one of his pieces performed at the Three Choirs Festival.  Two months later Stanford conducted the cantata *Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast*, the piece for which he is best remembered.  He toured the United States in 1904.  This made him even more interested in finding out about his racial heritage. He wanted to do for African music what Johannes Brahms had done for Hungarian music and Antonín Dvořák for Bohemian music. He had met the American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar in London and set some of his poems to music.  Several people encouraged him to learn more about his heritage.

Coleridge-Taylor was a shy man, but he was a very good conductor.  He was often asked to adjudicate at music festivals.

Coleridge-Taylor was 37 when he died of pneumonia. His widow hardly had any money, but  King George V gave her a pension of GB£100, which shows how popular Coleridge-Taylor had been as a composer.   A memorial concert was held later in 1912 at the Royal Albert Hall and gathered £300.

Coleridge-Taylor's works were often performed by Sir Malcolm Sargent who conducted ten seasons of a costumed ballet version of *Hiawatha* at the Royal Albert Hall between 1928 and 1939 with the Royal Choral Society (600 to 800 singers) and 200 dancers.

## His music
Coleridge-Taylor's best-known work is his cantata ''Hiawatha's Wedding-feast*, which was  performed very often by choral groups in England during his lifetime and for many years after his death.  He wrote several other pieces about Hiawatha: *The Death of Minnehaha*, *Overture to The Song of Hiawatha* and *Hiawatha's Departure*.

He also wrote a lot of chamber music, anthems and other works.  The orchestral piece *Petite Suite de Concert'' used to be very popular, but its Romanticism sounds a little old-fashioned now.

When he was 19 he travelled about giving concerts. He went as far east as Riga. In 1846, he became Court Pianist for King Christian VIII in Copenhagen. He stayed there until 1848, composing four piano concertos as well as concertos for violin, cello, harp and flute. He continued to travel, including to Leipzig where he met Schumann, Mendelssohn and Liszt. 

In 1851 he became a professor at the Cologne Conservatory. Later he had conducting jobs in Barmen and Breslau.

In 1860, Reinecke was made director of the famous Gewandhaus Orchestra concerts in Leipzig, and professor of composition and piano at the Conservatorium.

He conducted many first performances, including the first complete performance of Brahms's *German Requiem* (1869).

Perhaps his best-known piece is the flute sonata "Undine". He taught many famous musicians, including Edvard Grieg, Christian Sinding, Leoš Janáček, Isaac Albéniz, Johan Svendsen, Felix Weingartner and Max Bruch. 

At the age of 80, Reinecke recorded his playing on piano roll, making him the earliest-born pianist to have his playing recorded in any way.

He retired in 1902, but continued to compose until the end of his life.

Cruella de Vil

**Cruella De Vil** (obviously a play on *cruel* and *devil*) is the villain in the Dodie Smith book The Hundred and One Dalmatians who kidnaps (dognaps) the puppies for their fur.  She is described as having one half of her hair white and the other half black, an extreme fondness for pepper and a preference for elevated temperatures.

In the 1961 Disney animated movie her voice was played by Betty Lou Gerson. The movie featured a song about her sung by Roger whose lyrics begin:

:''Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.*

Later, in the 1996 live-action remake, and its 2000 sequel, *102 Dalmatians*, she was played by Glenn Close. In the 2021 Disney movie *Cruella*, the character is played by American actress Emma Stone. Shortly afterward, Cruella was a regular villain in *101 Dalmatians: The Series*, where she was voiced by April Winchell. This time, though, she wanted to steal the Dearly Farm, seeing how killing animals for fashion was deemed politically incorrect. However, she returned to hunting dogs in *House of Mouse* (which features an ongoing joke in which she inspects dogs from other Disney movies with a measuring ruler) and *101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure'', both of which had Susanne Blakeslee as her voice.
101 Dalmatians (1996 movie)

Gale

A **gale** is a very strong wind. The Beaufort scale is a way to measure weather conditions. It is based on observations. The first level of the scale that uses the word gale is 7 beaufort (of a total of 13 steps). There are other definitions as well. The U.S. Government's National Weather Service defines a gale as 34 to 47 knots (63&nbsp;km/h to 87&nbsp;km/h or 39 miles per hour to 54 miles per hour) of sustained surface winds. Forecasters usually issue gale warnings when they think there will be winds of this strength.

Other sources use speeds as low as  and as high as . The  definition is rare. A common alternative definition of the maximum is .

Marin Marais

**Marin Marais** (31 May 1656, Paris – 15 August 1728, Paris) was a French composer and viol player. He is regarded as one of the great French musicians of the Baroque. He describes a piece from Marais' fourth book called *The Labyrinth*, which goes through lots of keys. The notes which are often dissonant, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, describe a man caught in a labyrinth. Eventually the man comes out of it happily and the music finishes with a gracious and natural chaconne. Another piece called *La Gamme* [The Scale], very gradually goes up the steps of the octave and then down again.

Facsimiles of all five books of Marais' *Pièces de viole* are published by Éditions J.M. Fuzeau. A complete critical edition of his instrumental works in seven volumes, edited by John Hsu, is published by Broude Brothers.

## References in Film
Marais and his music were featured in the movie *Tous les matins du monde* (1991). The movie shows a detailed, imagined life of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe. Marais' music is heard a lot, including his longer work *Sonnerie de Ste-Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris* (1723). A recording of the Sonnerie performed on a Fairlight synthesizer was used in the cult classic film *Liquid Sky*.

African wildcat

The **African wildcats** (*Felis silvestris lybica*) are small, fierce cats that live in forests, grasslands, and brush lands in Africa and the Middle East. They are the closest living relatives of the domestic cat.

It is a wildcat subspecies which occurs across northern Africa and extends around the edges of the Arabian Peninsula to the Caspian Sea. It is the most common and widely distributed wild cat, and is listed as *Least Concern* by IUCN since 2002.

The African wildcat appears to have diverged from the other subspecies about 131,000 years ago. Some individual African wildcats were first domesticated about 10,000 years ago in the Middle East, and are the ancestors of the domestic cat. Remains of domesticated cats were found in human burials in Cyprus, done by Neolithic farmers about 9,500 years ago. Hybrids between domestic cats and African wildcats are still common today.

## Description 
African wildcats are generally crepuscular, hunting at dawn and dusk. They are diurnal (most active during the day) in very cold weather. They are very good climbers. African Wildcats live for 12 to 15 years. They are about 50 percent larger than domesticated (tame) cats.

## Diet 
African wildcats are carnivores, like all cats. These fast, solitary hunters eat small to medium-sized mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, invertebrates, and eggs.

John Ireland

**John Ireland** (born near Manchester, 13 August 1879; died Washington, Sussex, 12 June 1962) was an English composer. He is particularly remembered for his *Piano Concerto* and for his church music, especially the anthem *Greater love hath no man*, the song *The Holy Boy* and the hymn tune to *My song is love unknown*.  He had an unhappy childhood, and he always felt unsure of himself and rather lonely.

## Life 
John Ireland was born in Bowdon, Greater Manchester.  His father, who was 70 years old, was  a publisher who owned a newspaper.  He had married for a second time after his wife had died, and John was the youngest of five children from the second marriage.  His mother was 30 years younger than her husband.   When John was 14 his mother died, and his father died the next year.

John Ireland studied piano and organ at the Royal College of Music. Later he also had composition lessons from Charles Villiers Stanford. He later became a teacher at the College himself.  His pupils included the composers Alan Bush and
Geoffrey Bush (who were not related), Ernest Moeran and Benjamin Britten.  Geoffrey Bush later helped to prepare a lot of Ireland’s works for publication.   Ireland mostly made his living as an organist and choirmaster.

Ireland enjoyed going to the Channel Islands.  He liked the landscapes there. He was evacuated from them just before the German invasion during World War II.

John Ireland married once, but his marriage only lasted a few months.

On 10 September 1949, his 70th birthday was celebrated in a special Prom concert.  The soloist in the *Piano Concerto*  was the pianist Eileen Joyce, who later made the first gramophone recording of the concerto.

]]
Ireland retired in 1953.  He moved to a tiny village in  Sussex, where he lived in an old windmill which had been changed into a home.

He died  aged 82 in Washington, Sussex of heart failure.

## Music 
John Ireland was never much influenced by folksong like many other English composers of his time.  His music is more related to Impressionism.  He liked the music of French composers such as Debussy and Ravel as well as Igor Stravinsky and  Bartók.  His *Piano Concerto* is one of his best works. It shows that he developed his own personal style of harmony.  Most of his other good works are short pieces, including many for piano solo. His best-known piece is the song *The Holy Boy*.  It is heard in many different arrangements. His songs to poems by A. E. Housman, Thomas Hardy, Christina Rossetti, John Masefield, Rupert Brooke and others, are among some of the best English art songs.. He also wrote hymns, carols, and other sacred choral music; among choirs he is probably best known for the anthem *Greater love hath no man*, often sung in services that remember the victims of war.  Another choral work, *These things shall be* expresses his deepest hopes for mankind, although in his last years he said that he hated the work.
