Evangelism Explosion (EE) is a Christian evangelistic ministry and training program. History Evangelism Explosion was started in 1962 by D. James Kennedy, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Evangelism Explosion became an incorporated organization in 1972. In 1997, Evangelism Explosion published the results of a study which shows that the method was viewed as "confrontational evangelism". As a result of this, Evangelism Explosion announced that it was "changing its approach to emphasize relationship-building and discipling new believers." Evangelism Explosion has been published in a number of different forms, including Kids' EE, Seniors' EE, Deaf EE, and XEE. The latter

Evangelism Explosion

is designed especially for members of Generations X and Y. Content Evangelism Explosion is best known for its two "diagnostic questions" that users can ask non-Christians as a means of determining a "person's spiritual health", and of stimulating an evangelistic conversation: Have you come to the place in your spiritual life where you can say you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to heaven? Suppose that you were to die today and stand before God and he were to say to you, "Why should I let you into my heaven?" what would you

Evangelism Explosion

say? After the diagnostic questions, the evangelist is encouraged to explain the gospel in terms of grace, man, God, Christ, and faith. Use Evangelism Explosion's materials have been translated into seventy languages. Jeff Noblit suggests that it is "probably the most used and copied soul-winning training course ever embraced by Southern Baptists," while Stan Guthrie suggests that it is "the best known and most widely used evangelistic training curriculum in church history." It is used by over 20,000 churches worldwide. Evangelism Explosion officials claim that millions of people have come to Christ using the program. In 2011, 324,000 people worldwide

Evangelism Explosion

were trained in the program, while over 7.25 million people reportedly made a profession of faith as a result of its use. Five years later, the organization claimed 10.7 million people professed faith in Christ in 2016. The spread of Evangelism Explosion materials have been remarkable as it has covered almost every continent and every island across the globe from the founding church in Florida to as far as the Fiji Islands. Evaluation David L. Larsen suggests that Evangelism Explosion has "brought a quickening of the evangelistic pulse", and has "provided a most helpful and practical vehicle for witness." Larsen

Evangelism Explosion

notes, however, that "not everyone is comfortable" with "its more vigorous 'button-holing'." In a study done among non-Christian Thai people, all of them spoke negatively about the witnessing approach of EE. One respondent said, I would be upset. It is ridiculous and strange. I do not know who will die first, the interrogator or me. I would simply walk away. I do not want anyone to talk about death. It is a depressive issue.

Whistle-Binkie, or, The piper of the party: Being a collection of songs for the social circle was a Scottish poetry and song anthology first appearing in 1832. There were later volumes under the same title, at least four more anthologies, and collected editions appearing from 1853. The style of verse typically was in imitation of Robert Burns. The series was enduringly popular, and the final Whistle Binkie anthology appeared in 1890. While the intention at the time was to publish Scottish writers, later critics such as Edwin Morgan have attacked the series on grounds of taste. Alexander Laing saw in

Whistle Binkie

it "sentiment, mild pathos and sly humour" writing in 1857; by a century later Hugh MacDiarmid could regard it as opening the way for children to be given "sentimental trash". First edition Whistle Binkie was published in 1832 by David Robertson, a bookseller in Trongate, Glasgow. The editor was John Donald Carrick, who also contributed to the collection.

The A405 is a dual carriageway road in Hertfordshire, England. At present, it is 4.8 miles (7.7 km) long and runs from the A41 at Leavesden Green, near Watford, to the A414 at Park Street Roundabout near St Albans. Present route The A405 starts at a grade-separated roundabout junction with the A41 at Leavesden Green. From here, it travels northeast to a crossing with Sheepcot Lane at Woodside, then east to a traffic light junction with the A412 near Garston. This 1.4-mile (2.2-km) section is known as Kingsway. From the A412, the A405 travels north, past West Hertfordshire Crematorium and

Penfold Park Golf Course, to junction 6 of the M1 at Waterdale (2.3 miles, 3.7 km). It then veers northeast, passing the village of Bricket Wood, before meeting the M25 at junction 21a (3.1 miles, 5 km). Drivers wishing to access the M25 from the M1 northbound, or the M1 southbound from the M25, must use this section of the A405 as the junction between the two motorways, known as Chiswell Interchange, does not feature the corresponding slip roads. After the M25, the A405 continues northeast, with a roundabout junction with the B4630 for Chiswell Green (3.6 miles, 5.8 km),

then another with Tippendell Lane for How Wood (4.2 miles, 6.8 km). The road terminates at Park Street Roundabout, a junction with the A414 and the A5183 (formerly part of the A5); until 2009 this was junction 1 of the M10. Earlier route The A405 originally took up a greater proportion of the North Orbital Road. From Park Street Roundabout, it travelled east, crossing the River Ver and the Midland Main Line before meeting the A6 (now the A1081) at London Colney. It then veered northeast, past Colney Heath, before ending at the A1 near Hatfield. This gave it a

total length of 9.7 miles (15.6 km). In the mid-1970s, the A405 was extended from Leavesden Green. This extension ran concurrently with the A41 to Hunton Bridge, then continued westwards over the River Gade and past the hamlet of Chandler's Cross. It then veered south to pass between Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, crossing the River Chess, the A404 (with which it had a grade-separated junction) and the London to Aylesbury and London Underground Metropolitan lines. It ended just north of Maple Cross, at the A412, on which the North Orbital Road continued south to Denham in Buckinghamshire. This took the length

Alderstrøst refers to two residential complexes built by Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen to provide affordable housing for elderly, indigent members and their widows in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. The oldest is located on Nørrebrogade (Nørrebrogade 17, Baggesensgade 10 and Blågårdsgade 9). The other one is located at the corner of Nørre Allé (No. 15–19) and Møllegade (No. 28–30). The Nørreborgade complex is no longer owned by Håndværkerforeningen. History Creating the foundation On a board meeting in 1852, the idea was conceived for a "collection lottery" which was to raise funds for the construction of affordable housing for

elderly craftsmen in Copenhagen but the lottery was not approved by the authorities until 1857. The Alderstrøst Foundation was established by in 1862.Other contributuins came from gifts and grants. Alderstrøst in Nørrebrogade An 11,606 square alen (4,180 m2) site on Nørrebrogade was acquired the architect Theodor Sørensen, who had recently completed St. John's Church, Nørrebro's first church, was charged with the design of the first residences. The building was completed in 1863. It was expanded with a new wing on Baggesengade and a connecting building in 1870–71. The complex was expanded again in 1870 when a new wing was built

on Blågårdsgade. All the buildings are in four or five storeys and the complex originally contained 194 homes. Alderstrøst in Nørre Allé A new, 15,848 square alen (5,708 m2) site was acquired on the corner of Møllegade and Nørre Allé in 1892. The side on Nørre Allé flanked Bræstrups Stiftelse, anothercharitable housing complex. The new building was designed by Thorvald Sørensen, Theodor Sørensen's son. The foundation stone for the new building was set on 16 January 1893 and it was completed in 1895. The complex consisted of a main wing on Møllegade, both of which in five storeys, and twofour-storey

buildings on Nørre Allé. At the time of its inauguration, the complex contained 35 free residences and 226 residences with low rent. Im 1937-38, Håndforeningen purchased Bræstrups Stiftelse at Nørre Allé 17. The building was demolished and replaced by a new building designed by Henning Hansen. It is designed in a restrained, Functionalist style with horrisontal lines in the brickwork and with use of building materials similar to those of the older buildings. Later initiative In 1936, Haandværkerforeningen launched an architectural competition for a third Alderstrøst in Emdrup. The competition was won by Henning Hansen but the complex was instead

The São Julião Lighthouse is located in the fort of the same name, which is the largest sea defence structure in Portugal and is situated on a headland on the north bank of the River Tagus estuary in Oeiras, Lisbon District. It is a square masonry tower and the lantern is painted white, with a red dome. History The fort of São Julião da Barra was constructed primarily for defence and follows an irregular pentagonal design. Today it is the national headquarters of the Ministry of National Defence and official residence of the Minister. In 1758 orders were given to

São Julião Lighthouse

build a lighthouse in the fort. However, it is possible that an earlier lighthouse had existed from 1553 but that it was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The work initially involved building a stone lantern in 1761 but in 1775 an Argand lamp with a parabolic reflector was installed. Between 1848 and 1865 modernization work was carried out and a 4th Order Fresnel lens was installed, producing a fixed white light, fuelled with gas distilled from wood. From 1880 the lighting was obtained from petroleum gas. The lighthouse underwent further repairs in 1893 and 1913. A foghorn was installed

São Julião Lighthouse

in 1916 but almost immediately thereafter operations ceased until 1918 because of the First World War. In 1933 a red lamp was installed and, at the same time, the lighthouse was connected to the electricity grid. Integrated in the telecontrol network of the approaches of the port of Lisbon, it was automated in 1980, and became remotely controlled. Together with the Bugio lighthouse it marks the entrance or exit of the Lisbon Bar, the Bugio light being green. The São Julião lighthouse is 24 metres tall, with an altitude of 39 metres.

As part of the Comoro Islands chain in the Mozambique Channel, the geology of Mayotte is virtually the same as the geology of the Comoros, the rest of the island chain which is independent of France. The island resulted from the rifting of Madagascar away from Africa as well as "hotspot" mantle plume activity, and is also impacted by seismicity and deformation associated with the East African Rift. However, because Mayotte is a part of France its geology is significantly more researched than that of other islands in the chain. Mayotte is a primarily volcanic island rising steeply from the

bed of the ocean to a height of on Mont Bénara. Two volcanic centres are reported, a southern one (Pic Chongui, , with a breached crater to the NW, and a northern centre (Mont M'Tsapéré, ) with a breached crater to the south-east. Mont Bénara is between these two peaks, approximately at the contact point of the two structures. Volcanic activity started about 7.7 million years ago in the south, ceasing about 2.7 million years ago. In the north, activity started about 4.7 million years ago and lasted until about 1.4 million years ago. Both centres had several phases of

activity. Ash bands found in the corals suggest some continuing minor activity. The most recent age reported for an ash band is 7000 year BP. Stratigraphy & Tectonics As with other islands in the Comoros chain, Mayotte's location in the Mozambique Channel is tectonically complex, due to the displacement of the Malagasarian microcontinent from the margin of the supercontinent Gondwana. Mesozoic From the Permian until the Early Jurassic, the Comoros region experienced Karoo rifting, on an northeast–southwest trend. During the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, an ocean basin, running north–south, formed along the Davie Ridge. Cenozoic The volcanoes in the

Geology of Mayotte

Comoros date to the recent past of the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene period. The oldest volcano on the chain is 7.7 million years old, on Mayotte. Volcanoes are older further east. Anjouan is 3.9 million years old and Moheli is five million years old. Grande Comore is the youngest at only 10,000 years old. Some geologists have proposed that the Comoros is an example of one of 11 primary mantle plumes worldwide. The East African Rift System became active 22 to 25 million years ago in the Miocene and its offshore extent is the youngest. The rift system causes seismicity,

extensional deformation and created the offshore Kerimbas Graben. Natural hazards From 2002 to 2006, the French Geological Survey conducted an extensive natural hazards survey throughout the 17 districts of Mayotte and published a hazard zonation map. Some parts of the island face threats from storm surges and landslides and areas with weathered volcanic rock face heightened risk from seismic activity. Hydrogeology Groundwater on Mayotte is sourced from several aquifers in the fractured basalt. The island's aquifer is one of the best studied basalt aquifers other than Hawaii and the Canary Islands. The perched aquifers are separated by units of rock

that act as aquitards and aquicludes, slowing or nearly stopping the flow of water. Natural resources There is very little mining in Mayotte, aside from the production of building material. In some cases, coral is mined to produce lime for concrete. Earthquake Swarm Starting in May 2018 there have been many minor earthquakes under the eastern flank of the volcano constituting what is generally referred to as a "swarm". The exact nature of the forces behind this swarm remain unclear as of March 2019. The French government geological agency, the BRGM are maintaining a website on the events at this

link. The (current, 2019) leading theory is about a combination of magma emplacement into the seabed over an extended period and a partial collapse of the magma chamber's roof, but that is still under debate. A set of seabed seismic recorders was put into the ocean in February 2019, for retrieval in about September of that year, which should give better locations and directional "solutions" for future events. In November 2018 a very peculiar seismological signal was produced as part of this swarm. The November 11 2018 seismic event occurred about east of the coast of Mayotte. It was recorded

by seismograms in many place including Kenya, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and Hawaii located almost away. The seismic waves lasted for over 20 minutes but despite this, no one felt it. The peculiar thing about this event is that instead of the normal range of frequencies of noise being detected, only a very narrow range was detected - the event is sometimes described by seismologists as "monochrome". In a discussion captured on Twitter, ideas were batted around about a partial collapse of a magma chamber roof, but at this time (2019-03) work continues to understand the event. Estimated depths of

Newzealandia is a genus of land planarians from the New Zealand. Description Species of Newzealandia are characterized by a copulatory apparatus that lacks a penis papilla and has a series of accessory glands embedded into the wall of the atrial cavity. Those glands are similar to the adenodactyls found in the closely related genus Artioposthia, the main difference being that adenodactyls project into the atrial cavity. Etymology The name Newzealandia comes from New Zealand, the country in which the species of the genus are found. Species The genus Newzealandia includes the following species: Newzealandia agricola (Dendy, 1895) Newzealandia graffii (Dendy,

505 North Ervay, also known as the Reserve Loan Life Building, was a mid-rise skyscraper located in the City Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. Originally an office building, today it was part of the First Baptist Church campus until the building was imploded on June 29, 2019. History Originally planned as an 8-story structure, construction began in 1945 on a square site at the corner of Federal Street and North Ervay Street. After a delay, developer Monroe Building Corporation revised the design and the structure was expanded to include three additional floors. The building was constructed of

505 North Ervay

steel, brick and glass; the use of exterior floor separations gave the building a horizontal emphasis. Upon completion in 1948, the building was sold to the Reserve Loan Life Insurance Company, which occupied the building's first four floors. The remainder of the office space was leased to various companies including insurance and advertising firms. It was also home to offices for the United States Secret Service, whose testimony served a role in the 1963 John F. Kennedy assassination's Warren Commission. The building was sold to InsurOmedic Life Insurance Company in 1955, which installed a sign at the top of the

505 North Ervay

building. In 1972 investor Bill Gaynier bought and renovated the structure—painting the exterior, adding entrance canopies and opening the ground floor to pedestrian traffic. The improvement resulted in a near 100 percent occupancy rate by 1975, and the building was renamed and re-signed the Mutual of Omaha Building after the new lead tenant. By the late 1980s, after Gaynier's death and a resulting lawsuit over ownership, the building had become mostly vacant. First Baptist Church of Dallas, which owned several adjoining structures, purchased the building in 1990 for $1.1 million. It was partially used for education space before its closure.

José María Guido (29 August 1910 – 13 June 1975) was President of Argentina, from 30 March 1962 to 12 October 1963. Guido was elected to the Argentine Senate for Río Negro Province in 1958, representing the Intransigent Radical Civic Union (UCRI). He was elected Provisional President of the Senate and became first in line to the Presidency following the resignation of Vice-President Alejandro Gómez. Following the provincial victory of the newly re-legalised Peronists, the military deposed President Arturo Frondizi but reluctantly allowed Guido to assume the Presidency, with the support of the Supreme Court of Argentina. Guido thus became

José María Guido

the only civilian to take power in Argentina by military coup. Guido directed Congress to annul the 1962 election results and suppressed the Peronist cause again. His presidency was marked by violent confrontations between rival military factions, culminating in the 1963 Argentine Navy Revolt, which Guido's government successfully suppressed. Elections were allowed to take place in 1963 which brought Arturo Umberto Illia to power.

Robert W. Ball is a Canadian yacht designer, now based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Robert Ball was the chief in-house designer at C&C Yachts from 1973 to 1991. Career Robert Ball joined C&C Yachts in the late 1960s as a summer employee when he was still in school, studying Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. As soon as he graduated in 1969 George Cuthbertson hired him. Cuthbertson soon had Ball designing masts and mast fittings, and soon after that he handed Ball hull structural design. Chief Designer at C&C Yachts Ball was promoted

Robert W. Ball

to Chief Designer at C&C Yachts in May 1973. As head of design his first couple of hull designs were essentially re-works of existing hulls with minor changes. His first design undertaken from a ‘clean sheet’ was the C&C 33 done in the spring of 1974, a high performance design, fitting the three-quarter ton size. This design would race well and re-establish C&C's image on the race courses. An early 33 was shipped to Europe (to be used by Baltic Yachts for their production) and it was entered in the Three-Quarter Ton Cup that was in Norway that year. In

Robert W. Ball

the first two races they placed well and in the third race took first place, unusual for a production boat with a full interior up against race boats. In a speech given at the Legends of Ontario Sailing Award – Ontario Sailing Gala on Saturday, April 2, 2011, fellow designer Robert Mazza reflected on Ball's high-performance yacht designs: Under Rob Ball’s design leadership Canada was well represented by C&C Yachts in Admirals Cup Racing, including the 1979 Fastnet race, in Onion Patch Racing, which included the Newport Bermuda Race, and several Canada's Cup Races, not to mention innumerable races on

Robert W. Ball

Long Island Sound, all the Great Lakes (including Superior), and wherever two or more boats would gather to race or cruise. Classic production and custom boats like the C&C 33, 34, 35 and C&C 40 and 41s, Amazing Grace, Magistri, Silver Shadow, Charisma, Archangel, and many more came off Rob’s drawing board and out of the design office under Rob’s supervision. Throughout the 1970s C&C's design group also created boats for other builders, such as the Great Lakes 33 trawler, built by Ontario Yachts. John Atkin was always publicly credited as the designer, but its lines were drawn by C&C's

Robert W. Ball

Rob Ball. By 1985, under Ball's supervision, C&C's design office had grown to eleven staff, with new designers spending time with plans for the archives, familiarizing themselves with the company’s design history. By the time these up and coming designers were entrusted with a critical design job, such as the deck of a new model, they had been immersed in the C&C design philosophy. Putting compatible designers together was one of Ball’s strengths. Ball was in charge of the overall hull design and the basic conceptional design, while another designer was in charge of structures. George Cassian's expertise was in

Robert W. Ball

interiors. Another staff member was familiar with computers and converted much of the basic design and keel design drafting work to a computer program. Each person on the team had a specialty, but they were also all project engineers to provide depth and also keep them each engaged in the projects. In this way they could keep tabs on a particular project and each staff member could get a little more personally invested in that particular boat design. In an interview for The Yacht magazine in 1985 Ball commented in the difference between designing for custom projects compared to the

Robert W. Ball

building of production boats: “A production boat is more challenging. A grand prix race boat is more emotionally interesting, but not so challenging. The production boat is three times more complex." Robert Ball gave a speech at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club's tribute to George Cuthbertson, where he expanded on this idea, saying: As much as custom designs were notable, it was production boats that paid our way, and George imbibed the message – that they are much more challenging design-wise, since performance is important, but attractiveness, and practicality for the builder and the sailor was actually the key to

Robert W. Ball

successful designs. George was key in helping me balance the various factors that would result in many people wanting to sail our boats. Changes at C&C By the late 1980s there had been changes at C&C Yachts and the number of staff in the design department had been reduced. Quoting a 1988 review in Sailing Magazine by Robert Perry (yacht designer) of the then new C&C 37R: I called Rob Ball, head designer at C&C, to talk about the 37R. Rob said that once in a great while you get a boat that does everything perfectly, i.e. floats level, balances

Robert W. Ball

well, looks good, goes fast ... and sells. The new C&C 37R is just that boat. The boat has proved so fast that orders for the racing model have totally overwhelmed the orders for the more subdued cruise-race model. It appears that C&C is back in their old groove of producing high performance boats. Much of the credit for this success must go to the C&C design team. Hull design is handled by Rob Ball, accommodations by Rob Ball, deck design and layout by Rob Ball and rig and general engineering by Rob Ball. You see, the team is not

Robert W. Ball

as big as it used to be, but the success of the 37R is testimony to the fact that perhaps Ball's talents were being diluted by the input of too many other in-house, competing designers in the past. In September 1990 Robert Ball left C&C Yachts to join Concordia Custom Yachts (Concordia Company), in Padanaram, Massachusetts, but continued to do design work for C&C International as RWB Design until the Niagara-on-the-Lake factory fire destroyed molds, boats under construction, and facilities in 1994, essentially putting C&C out of business in Canada. Recent Robert Ball joined Edson International in New Bedford, Massachusetts

Robert W. Ball

in 1993. Ball had perfected his use of computer-aided design (CAD) during his 25 years at C&C and his tenure at the Concordia Company so he used his knowledge to guide the company’s changeover to truly computerized design and engineering functions. Robert Ball is presently Chief Design Engineer at Edson International. Landmark designs In 1985 the then president of C&C Yachts, David Gee said, "Rob Ball has more boats on the water than most other naval architects that you can name." A quote from Robert Ball: We once counted boat's and came to 7,454 boat's built to my design. That

Robert W. Ball

does not include the three Boston Whalers - the Harpoon 4.6, 5.2, and 6.2. Not sure how many - I have 5.2 number 508. And a number of Windsurfers - I'm sure a few thousand. And a row boat - "The Pocket Rowing Skiff" - we built 50, and I see it is still being built (by Rossiter Boats) C&C 38 (1975) Introduced in 1975, the 38 was a true racer-cruiser, the design performed well racing, had good middle-of-the-road stability, and came with a well appointed interior. The resulting demand in the market indicated this was the perfect size for

Robert W. Ball

the cruiser who wanted a roomy boat below but did not want a boat that was too much to handle while sailing. With 98 boats sold, it was C&C's biggest-seller of 1976. C&C 40 (1977) The company's success with the 38 allowed C&C to develop a somewhat larger boat for the market, a design that proved to be one of the most profitable projects in the company's history. First launched as a limited series production design, interest in the 40 was initially low—C&C had been beaten to the market by boats like the North American 40 (which it had been

Robert W. Ball

approached to build under contract), Swan 411, Islander 40 and Tartan 41. Initially built by the C&C Yachts Custom Division in Oakville, Ontario, the owners of these products of Erich Bruckmann's shop were free to experiment with interior layout (a number of these original owners, with racing foremost in their mind, experimented to the point of ordering yachts with virtually no interior layout to speak of), as well as with the options of a taller rig or deeper keel. The C&C 40, in turn, became the most thorough in-water and custom testing program ever undertaken by the Company. In all,

Robert W. Ball

19 40-footers were crafted by the custom division before the design was promoted to production status at the Niagara-on-the-Lake plant. The first 11 were built without interior liners, and many features experimented with on these and subsequent custom-produced boats found their way into the production model. Some of the most comprehensive and beneficial in-water testing was derived from Amazing Grace, owned by Robert Herron of Port Credit, Ontario, through her performance at the SORC. The C&C 40's reputation was made on Long Island Sound, a hotbed of racing activity and a traditionally strong market area for the Canadian Company's products

Robert W. Ball

in that era. The first two 40s to sail on the Sound were named Coyote and On Rush. They were campaigned strenuously by a pair of rival sail lofts, the result of which was some first-rate competition and some equally first-rate public exposure to the new design. In short time, market interest snowballed for a product that had been delayed going into the first phase of its development plan by a lack of orders. In all 167 were built at a 25 per cent profit margin, which helped offset the company's difficulty building models under 30 feet profitability. The 40

Robert W. Ball

was a major success for C&C in the tough Long Island Sound market, where an association just for C&C 40 owners was formed. Evergreen (1977) The Canada's Cup winner in 1978 was a C&C design, the Two Ton class Evergreen, owned by Don Green with Hans Fogh at the helm. The design was a radical, dinghy-like, 41-foot boat, designed with the aim of winning the trophy as the C&C design team had exploited loopholes in the regatta rules. As one example, the galley was required to have sink but, in order to save weight, it had no drain, which the

Robert W. Ball

rule makers had not thought to specify. The deck hatches opened inward, which could be a safety hazard if they gave way during a capsize or broach, and the Evergreen crew faced protests over this defect in both the SORC and in the Canada's Cup. Upon reflection over the 1979 Fastnet race in which he participated, Skipper Green later said that Evergreen "never should have gone to England" for the Admiral's Cup, which is the destination of most Canada's Cup winners. Canadian Yachting magazine stated fifteen years later that "few yachts have created more controversy than" Evergreen, and that "its

Robert W. Ball

extreme design and controversial features ruffled feathers around the world." After the competition that year, the rule books were rewritten to preclude safety problems like those raised by the design of Evergreen, and as a result, C&C never received another commission for a Canada's Cup yacht. Archangel (1980) The C&C Custom 67 Archangel was designed by Robert Ball and was launched in September 1980. She was commissioned by Michael Davies, publisher of the Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper who participated in the design process. He wanted a cruising yacht large enough to voyage anywhere in the world in comfort, but requiring only

Robert W. Ball

a small crew. This resulted in the schooner rig being chosen for Archangel as it divides the sails up into more manageable sizes. She remains the largest pleasureboat commission ever received by C&C, and was an enormous project—six months in design and 14 months in construction. Archangel was built by C&C Yachts Custom Division. She is a yacht built for comfortable living, she was made to be as independent of land as possible through such features as two sources of AC power, desalinators, an enormous freezer, and a pair of dinghies. Davies, along with family and friends sailed Archangel over

Robert W. Ball

in the period from 1980 to 1991, visiting dozens of countries along the way. Archangel later became Sir Peter Blake and Lady Blake's family yacht. During this period Sir Blake used her as his command boat for Team New Zealand through their successful defence of the America's Cup in 2000. Michael Bundock, a member of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, purchased Archangel from Lady Blake in Barcelona in 2004. Bundock then spent about two years sailing her halfway around the world, eventually taking her back to his home in New Zealand. Archangel is currently based in Auckland and is

sailed regularly on the Hauraki Gulf. Her sail numbers are now NZL1040. Magistri (1982) Magistri, a custom 39-footer, was designed and built for Peter Farlinger, a racing yachtsman of considerable experience. Magistri was targeted to the heavy air conditions expected in a typical Admiral's Cup series and was built to high standards of Kevlar, foam, and carbon fibre. Her debut brought overall victory in the Lake Erie Race followed by good performances in both Mackinacs. She then dominated the New York fall series of races with three straight firsts and was doing well in the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC)

Robert W. Ball

when a dismasting in the Miami/Nassau Race ended her bid in this prestigious event. Selected as one of the three boats making up the 1983 Canadian Admiral's Cup team (all C&Cs and all three Robert Ball designs) she won the Channel Race overall – the first-ever overall win by a Canadian yacht in an Admiral's Cup event. Her final series placing was sixth in fleet, also a best-ever for Canadian sailors. A quote from Robert Ball: Magistri was maybe my best triumph . . . . . Peter asked me for a heavy weather upwind design specifically for the Admiral’s

Robert W. Ball

Cup. His feeling was that a bunch of Toronto sailors had sailed in light air a lot and would be better than the Brits in those conditions . . . . . so, if I could deliver a heavy weather boat, they could be competitive across the board. Even Big George questioned my ability to accomplish same . . . . . I was at my prime, and the design of the boat came true . . . . . In England the heavy weather characteristics paid off. In the Channel Race Magistri won - probably my best ever result

Robert W. Ball

because against the best in the world, with a normal amateur crew. Farlinger sailed her exclusively offshore, and only for a short period, before selling her to Jacob Wallenberg of Stockholm, Sweden. Renamed Insdispensible II Wallenberg campaigned her successfully and competed as a member of the Swedish Admiral's Cup team in 1985. Magistri was an excellent, if small-ish, ocean racer that reaffirmed there was more to C&C's design touch than a wildcard like Evergreen. C&C 44 (1985) The C&C 44 was a solid top end to the C&C product line. With the fin keel version drawing more than eight feet,

Robert W. Ball

C&C offered a centreboard configuration to reduce draft to five feet, four in. The 44 continued a C&C tradition for nicely proportioned boats. In a July 1988 review, Lloyd Hircock wrote in Canadan Yachting magazine, "The C&C 44 is a splendid sea boat—dry, kindly, strong and seaworthy ... I rate the C&C 44 up there with the best of them. It is an impressive yacht to sail. It is strong and capable, and well designed for safe offshore passages for comfortable lake cruising. At the drop of a flag this design is ready to take to the race course." He

Robert W. Ball

did find fault with the inadequate cabin ventilation, the uncomfortable helm seat, as well as the aft genoa sheet track location and the location of the mainsheet traveller in the middle of the cockpit, which reduces cockpit seating space. Landfall series While C&C Yachts was known for its high-performance yachts, primarily building straight racers or racer-cruisers, Robert Ball's C&C Landfall series was conceived and marketed as performance cruisers. Launched in the late 1970s they were ahead of their time and so were not as commercially successful as they should have been, as many cruising sailors at the time still favoured

Robert W. Ball

heavier more traditional designs. In comparison, today most new cruising designs feature a performance-oriented hull shape, often with shoal draft. Maintenance is kept to a minimum, especially externally. These same criteria define the C&C Landfall series dating from almost 40 years ago. The Landfall 38 was the most successful boat in the Landfall series—about 180 were built from 1979 to 1985—and today it remains popular among both coastal and bluewater cruisers looking for an older boat that is fast, comfortable, affordable and well built. Landfall 38s are found cruising all over the world. A Cruising World poll in 2013 elected

Robert W. Ball

the Landfall 38 as number 29 in their list of 40 greatest production monohulls of all time.

The Dagaaba people (singular Dagao, and, in northern dialects, Dagara for both plural and singular) are an ethnic group located north of the convergence of Ghana, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire. They speak the Dagaare language, a Gur language made up of the related Northern Dagaare dialects, Southern Dagaare dialects and a number of sub dialects. In northern dialects, both the language and the people are referred to as Dagara. They are related to the Birifor people and the Dagaare Diola. The language is collectively known as Dagaare (also spelled and/or pronounced as Dagare, Dagari, Dagarti, Dagaran or Dagao), and

Dagaaba people

historically some non-natives have taken this as the name of the people. One historian, describing the former usage of "Dagarti" to refer to this community by colonials, writes: "The name 'Dagarti' appears to have been coined by the first Europeans to visit the region, from the vernacular root dagaa. Correctly 'Dagari' is the name of the language, 'Dagaaba' or 'Dagara' that of the people, and 'Dagaw' or 'Dagawie' that of the land." Geographic spread Although sometimes divided into Northern and Southern Dagaare speakers, their combined population was estimated in 2003 at over one million spread across the Northwest corner of

Dagaaba people

Ghana and Sud-Ouest Region in Southwestern Burkina Faso. The Southern Dagaare are a people of around 700,000 living in the western part of Upper West Region. The Northern Dagaare speakers, with an estimated population of 388,000 (in 2001) live primarily in Ioba Province, but also in Poni, Bougouriba, Sissili, and Mouhoun provinces. In Ghana, several waves of internal migration, beginning with the start of colonial rule in the late 19th century (but possibly having been begun sooner) and spiking in the 1980s, have brought a sizable Dagaaba population to towns in the southern part of the nation, notably Brong Ahafo

Region. In modern Ghana, the Dagaaba homeland of the Upper West Region includes the Districts and towns of Nandom, Lawra, Jirapa, Kaleo, Papu, Nadowli, Daffiama, Wechiau and Hamile. Large communities are also found in the towns of Wa, Bogda, Babile, Tuna, Han and Nyoli. History The source of Dagaaba communities in the pre-colonial era remain a point of debate. The evidence of oral tradition is that the Dagaaba are an outgrowth of the Mole-Dagbani group which migrated to the semi-arid Sahel region in the fourteenth century CE. They are believed to have further migrated to the lower northern part of

Dagaaba people

the region in the seventeenth century. From well before the appearance of Europeans, the Dagaaba lived in small scale agricultural communities, not centralised into any large state-like structure. Ethnological studies point to oral literature which tells that the Dagaaba periodically, and ultimately successfully, resisted attempts at conquest by states in the south of modern Ghana, as well as the Kingdoms of Dagbon, Mamprugu and Gonja in the north. One thesis based on oral evidence is that the Dagaaba formed as a break away faction of Dagbon under Na Nyanse. The colonial borders, demarcated during the Scramble for Africa, placed them

Dagaaba people

in northwestern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso, as well as small populations in Ivory Coast. Extra-community relations Dagaaba communities have occasionally come into conflict with neighbouring groups, especially over land rights, as recently as the 1980s with the Sisala people and at earlier times with the Wala people. The latter, in alliance with the Wassoulou Empire of Diola Samory Toure, conquered much of Dagawie in the late 1890s, under the generalship of Sarankye Mori. Some of the southern most Dagaaba villages were in the early 1890s under the authority of the Kingdom of Wala but then rebelled in 1894 and

Dagaaba people

asserted their independence. They were however restored to the domains of the Wala Native Authority by the British in 1933. Society Within the Dagawie homelands, the Dagaaba have traditionally formed sedentary agricultural communities. Modern Dagaaba lineages consist of ten clans encompassing over one million people. Traditional polities Traditional Dagaaba communities are based on the "Yir" subclan or household group, a series of which are clustered into the "Tengan", an earth deity shrine area. The Tengan system, a constellation of roles usually inherited within the same household group, is called the tendaalun. The head of these shrine area systems, the tengan

Dagaaba people

sob (sometimes tindana) fulfilled the role of community elder and priest, along with the tengan dem, the ritual custodian and maintainer of the ritual center. Other priestly/elder roles within the tendaalun include the suo sob who performs ritual animal slaughter to the earth deity, the zongmogre who performs rituals at the sacred market centres, and the gara dana or wie sob who is ritual leader among hunting societies. These remain living forms of community in much of Dagaaba society, and influence, among other things, the community perception of land as held in spiritual custodianship, and different community resources falling under

Dagaaba people

the custodianship of different authorities, lineages, and/or spiritual forces. Until the latter part of the nineteenth century when institutional chieftaincy evolved (and was later imposed by colonial administration), broader Dagaaba communities functioned under a system of councils of elders. Some Dagaaba communities maintain traditional ceremonial chieftainships, sometimes contesting. As recently as 2006, the "Council of Elders" of the Dagaaba community of Ghana attempted to unite various factions with the appointment of Naa Franklin Suantah, Principal Librarian of the Saint Louis Training College of Kumasi as chief of the Dagaaba community in Ghana. Culture Dagaaba communities historically have practiced Traditional religions,

Dagaaba people

as well as Islam and Christianity. The Ghanaian Dagaaba have traditionally had a Cousinage/Joking relationship with the Frafra (Gurunsi) people. The Dagaaba, before the influence of the colonialist, were self-reliant in iron production and were very successful in mixed crops farming. They also developed sophisticated musical instruments including gyle (xylophones). Economics Communities in Dagaaba homelands remain primarily small scale agricultural, with family farming plots tilled by the family themselves. In the modern era, off-farm wage income is often used to supplement trade income and subsistence from farming. Fishing communities of Dagaaba persist along the Black Volta, a de facto boundary

Dagaaba people

of Dagaaba lands. Because the communities are found along historic coast-to-Sahel trade routes, trade has long been an important occupation, but largely in local goods. Markets in larger towns are on Sundays, with others on a six-day cycle. Some contemporary Dagaaba communities of northern Ghana are notable as the last West African communities to still use Cowrie shells as currency, alongside the modern Ghanaian cedi. Cowrie are used not only for traditional ornamental and ceremonial purposes (as other West African communities do), but also as an inflation proof form of internal savings and as a safe medium to trade across

Dagaaba people

national (and currency) boundaries which may divide Dagaaba communities. Oral literature Oral literature has a long tradition with Dagaaba communities, and remains a living vehicle of education and acculturation in Dagaaba society. There are two main types of literature in Dagaaba society. They can broadly be categorised as secular literature consisting of stories, tales, proverbs and other oral genre and the sacred literature produced during ritual and religious services. The most important of these are bagr mythical narratives recitations and orations produced during initiation rituals and other religious services Religion References Constancio Nakuma.

The Rockhampton nightclub bombings consisted of two separate incidents that occurred in Rockhampton, Queensland in November 1989 and June 1990 where two nightclubs in the city centre were bombed. It's never been confirmed whether there were any links between the two events. Shark Nightclub At 3:05am on 10 November 1989, an explosion occurred at the Shark Nightclub in Bolsover Street. Upon emergency services arriving at the scene, another explosion occurred injuring two police officers, Police Constable John Dallow and Senior Constable Jeff Dawson and firefighter Trevor Kidd. While Dallow and Dawson were both released from hospital soon after the incident,

Kidd spent twelve weeks recovering from his injuries in hospital. The explosions caused significant structural damage to the building at 131 Bolsover Street but the building was repaired. Factory Nightclub At 4:10am on 28 June 1990, an explosion occurred at the Factory Nightclub in the Headrick's Building at 189 East Street. Investigations later revealed that one of the devices that had been planted within the building had failed to detonate which had been the only factor that had prevented the entire building from being destroyed. Following the explosion, police found 29 sticks of unexploded gelignite in the nightclub. Buildings in

the immediate vicinity were evacuated including the local ABC station in Quay Street where Andrew Lofthouse was due to begin his first shift. Rewards The two bombings remain unsolved crimes. In 2014, the Queensland Police Service advised that the Minister for Police had approved two $50,000 rewards for information which led to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible for each bombing. In both cases, an indemnity was also offered to any accomplice not directly involved who gives information about either crime.
