RAF Nutts Corner

Royal Air Force Nutts Corner, or more simply RAF Nutts Corner, is a former Royal Air Force (RAF) station located 2.7 mi east of Crumlin, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and 9.2 mi north west of Belfast.

Second World War
The site was selected for use as an Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield in mid-1940 and within months construction was accorded high priority, enabling No. 120 Squadron RAF flying Consolidated Liberator to begin operations there when the station opened on 2 June 1941. No. 220 Squadron arrived from RAF Wick in January 1942 with Lockheed Hudsons and soon began converting to Boeing Fortress I, flying the first sortie with the type on 29 April before transferring to Ballykelly on 20 June.

As Nutts Corner had been selected as trans-Atlantic reception centre 120 Squadron Moved to Ballykelly in July 1942 and the following year the first USAAF United States Army Air Forces Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses began to arrive. Although the airfield remained under overall RAF control an American presence was established on the airfield in relation to activities involved with ferrying aircraft from the United States and 385 USAAF aircraft (mostly B-17) had passed through the airfield by the end of 1943.

July 1944 saw American activity peak when 372 aircraft arrived that month. The majority of transatlantic deliveries shifted to Prestwick and by the end of 1944 American activity at the airfield was minimal. In July 1945 the airfield began a period of use by the Royal Navy, commissioned as HMS Pintail but was returned to RAF control in April 1946.

The following Royal Air Force squadrons and units were here at some point: • Squadrons

• No. 44 Squadron RAF

• No. 120 Squadron RAF

• No. 160 Squadron RAF

• No. 220 Squadron RAF

• No. 231 Squadron RAF

• Units

• No. 104 (Transport) Operational Training Unit RAF (March 1943 - February 1944)

• No. 1332 (Transport) Heavy Conversion Unit RAF (October 1944 - April 1945)

• No. 1674 Heavy Conversion Unit RAF (February - March 1944)

Royal Navy
RAF Nutts Corner was transferred on loan to the Admiralty from RAF Northern Ireland and known as Royal Naval Air Station Nutts Corner, (RNAS Nutts Corner). It was used to provide accommodation for Fleet Air Arm first-line fighter squadrons. On 11 July 1945 it commissioned as HMS Pintail.

List of Fleet Air Arm first and second line squadrons, Royal Naval Air Station flight and other Royal Navy flying units based at this location:
 * 4th Naval Fighter Wing
 * 772 Naval Air Squadron
 * 802 Naval Air Squadron
 * 803 Naval Air Squadron
 * 807 Naval Air Squadron
 * 809 Naval Air Squadron
 * 879 Naval Air Squadron
 * 883 Naval Air Squadron
 * 891 Naval Air Squadron
 * 1835 Naval Air Squadron
 * 1837 Naval Air Squadron
 * 1852 Naval Air Squadron

On 14 November 1945 the airbase was put to Care & Maintenance status, 'on books of HMS Gadwall'. RNAS Nutts Corner finally paid off 1 April 1946 and was returned to RAF Northern Ireland control.

Post war
On 1 December 1946 civil air operations were transferred from HMS Gadwall/Belfast Harbour Airport (now the George Best Belfast City Airport) to Nutts Corner due to the longer runways available at that airfield. Other reasons included the limited space available at Belfast for expansion and the danger associated with obstacles such as the cranes around Belfast harbour. Other sites were studied as possible alternative civil airports including RAF Long Kesh and Lisburn. The advantage of choosing Nutts Corner was the large amount of existing hardstanding which was necessary for civil aircraft movements. The former RAF station then became known as Belfast-Nutts Corner Airport.

By the end of the 1950s the steep approach necessary for aircraft flying to Nutts Corner was deemed unsuitable. This was due to the location of the airport, close to the Belfast mountains and the obstacles located there, particularly transmitters and aerials. Another factor was the fact that of Nutts Corner's three runways, only one was suitable for modern aircraft. Aldergrove's two runways set at 100 degrees (07-25 and 17-35) to each other made operations possible even if conditions (particularly wind) changed dramatically. The decision to restore civil flights to Aldergrove was taken in July 1959. The move was made official in September 1963 and a month later the present terminal was opened.

Current use
A section of the A26 Moira Road, running from Nutts Corner Roundabout for approximately 2 km, is constructed on one of the old runways. The airfield was used from 1984 to 2004 for events such as the Irish Superbike Championships and Rallycross, but it was restricted due to noise complaints from local residents. A small section of the circuit continues to be used by the Northern Ireland Carting Club (NICA) and the Ulster Karting Club. The site is also used for a weekly market and a model aircraft club is on the site.

Accidents and incidents

 * On 18 February 1942 a Liberator bomber which was leaving for an Atlantic patrol failed to gain height, struck a radio mast and crashed. Six of the crew survived but four were killed.
 * On 21 August 1942, the First World War air ace Harry King Goode was killed on a demonstration flight with a 120 Squadron Consolidated Liberator stationed at the base.
 * On 27 March 1951 a Douglas Dakota 3 cargo aircraft operated by Air Transport Charter and en route from Ringway Airport, Manchester, crashed shortly after take-off following failure to gain height. There were four fatalities, two of the three crew on board and two of the three passengers.  The subsequent investigation found that the crash resulted from a loss of engine power caused by ice formation in the carburetor intakes attributable to the captain's failure to make use of the heat controls. An extended undercarriage and the presence of snow on the wings may have also been contributory factors.
 * Nutts Corner was the site of the worst air disaster in Ireland, when on 5 January 1953 a British European Airways (BEA) Vickers Viking crashed after striking landing lights and then a building at the airfield, killing 27 people out of 35 on board.
 * On 23 October 1957 a Vickers Viscount of BEA crashed at the airport, killing all seven on board.

Vintage

Vintage, in winemaking, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product—wine. A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote quality, as in Port wine, where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years. From this tradition, a common, though not strictly correct, usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality.

Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion of wine that is not from the year denoted on the label. In Chile and South Africa, the requirement is 75% same-year content for vintage-dated wine. In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union, the requirement is 85%. In the United States, the requirement is 85%, unless the wine is designated with an AVA, (e.g., Napa Valley), in which case it is 95%. Technically, the 85% rule in the United States applies equally to imports, but there are difficulties in enforcing the regulation.

The opposite of a vintage wine is a nonvintage wine (often seen on a wine list as 'NV'), which is usually a blend from the produce of two or more years. This is a common practice for winemakers seeking a consistent style of wine, year on year.

Etymology
The word vintage was first used in the early 15th century. It was adapted from the Old French vendange (wine harvest) deriving from the Latin vindemia (grape-gathering), in turn coming from vinum (wine) and demere (to remove).

Importance of vintage
The importance assigned to vintage is both varied and disputed.

For wine produced in regions at the colder climatic limits of wine production, vintage can be very important, because some seasons will be much warmer and produce riper grapes and better wine. On the other hand, a poor growing season can lead to grapes failing to reach optimal ripeness, resulting in grape juice that is higher in acid and lower in sugar, which affects the quality of the resulting wine.

In many wine regions, especially in the New World, growing seasons are much more uniform. In dry regions, the systematic and controlled use of irrigation also contributes to uniform vintages. However, such wines are regularly labeled by vintage because of consumer demand.

Wines of superior vintages from prestigious producers and regions will often command much higher prices than those from average vintages. This is especially the case if wines are likely to improve further with some age in the bottle. Some wines are only labeled with a vintage in better-than-average years, to maintain their quality and reputation, while the vast majority of wines are produced to be drunk young and fresh. In such cases, a vintage is usually considered less important. However, it can serve to protect consumers against buying a wine that would not be expected to improve with age and could be past its best, such as with Beaujolais nouveau, a wine style made to be consumed within months of its bottling.

The importance of vintage may sometimes be exaggerated. For example, New York Times wine columnist Frank J. Prial declared the vintage chart to be dead, writing that "winemakers of the world have rendered the vintage chart obsolete"; Bill Marsano wrote that "winemakers now have the technology and skills to make good and even very good wines in undistinguished years". James Laube of Wine Spectator has asserted that "even an average vintage can yield some grand wines".

Weil blind tastings
Roman Weil, co-chairman of the Oenonomy Society of the US and professor at the University of Chicago, tested the controversial hypothesis that experienced wine drinkers "cannot distinguish in blind tastings the wine of years rated high from those of years rated low, or, if they can, they do not agree with the vintage chart's preferences".

Weil used wines ranging from four to 17 years beyond their vintage with 240 wine drinkers and found that the tasters could not distinguish between wines of good and bad vintages except for Bordeaux wines. Even when they could make a distinction, the match between the tasters' individual assessments and the charts' rankings were little better than tossing a coin. When the tests were replicated with wine experts, including French wine academics, the results were again the same as chance.

Weil does not consider a vintage chart to be useless. He suggests using one to help "find good buys in wine", as wine made in years considered to be worse than average for vintages may be priced far below its actual quality.

Miscellaneous

 * In Spain, wine regulators publish official classifications of each vintage.
 * A common Bordelais saying is "The best vintage is the vintage we have to sell"

Mazda Persona

The Mazda Persona is a mid-sized, front-wheel drive, four-door hardtop sedan produced by Mazda in Japan from November 1988 to December 1991, and sold both within its main range and under its upscale Eunos brand, as the Eunos 300. It is a rebodied Capella/626 with more luxurious equipment. The Persona was Mazda's answer to the Toyota Carina ED, Nissan Presea, and Mitsubishi Emeraude — Japanese sedans that attempted to capture the pillarless hardtop look and proportion of large American sedans. Transposed onto a smaller Japanese sedan, this proportion often led to a small, low cabin in context of longer front and rear ends. It was replaced by the ɛ̃fini MS-8 in March 1992, after Persona stocks had run out. The car was only offered new in the domestic Japanese market.

The 1.8-liter engine option had a single camshaft and three valves per cylinder, producing 97 PS, while the two-litre option had twin camshafts and four valves per cylinder, with a max output of 140 PS. Both engines could also be found in the Capella/626 range and other MA platform cars, although the two-litre was tuned for more torque in this application, and both were fuel injected.

In February 1990 a limited edition "Persona Couture" arrived, only available in Silver Stone Metallic paint. It was fully equipped, with air condition and ABS brakes over the Type B, and only available with the larger engine in combination with the automatic transmission. It sold for ten percent more than a 2000 Type B. The Persona underwent a minor change in March 1990, with new body colors and more equipment, such as a power seat and optional ABS brakes. The 12-valve 1.8 was replaced by a twin-cam 16-valve unit which had already been seen in the Eunos 300, producing 115 PS. Unlike the case of the Eunos, however, the 2-liter FE DOHC engine remained unchanged. Production came to a halt in December 1991, although the car remained on sale for another three months.

Mazda placed much emphasis on the Persona's interior, marketing the car under the tagline "Interiorism" (インテリアイズム). It featured lounge-style door trims that appears completely integrated into the rear seats when the doors are closed, while the front seat belts were mounted in the rear doors to be as discreet as possible. It won a prize for "Best Car Interior" in 1988. Other unusual details were the absence of ashtrays as well as a cigarette lighter - they were available as a cost option. A pull-out drawer located underneath the passenger seat replaced a traditional glove compartment. There were two equipment levels, Type A and Type B. Both were well equipped, but the Type B added extras such as leather interior.

Eunos 300
When Mazda launched the Eunos dealership channel in Japan for 1990, launched on 1 November 1989, the Persona became available with Eunos 300 badging. Unlike the Persona, the ostensibly sportier Eunos version came with an ashtray and a lighter, as well as a different grille with a "V"-pattern rather than the fine mesh of the Persona. It received the more powerful upgraded 1.8-liter engine from the beginning, a few months earlier than the Persona did. The 2-liter option was the more powerful FE-ZE DOHC engine, producing 150 PS with a manual transmission and 145 PS with the automatic. To further its sporting pretensions it also came equipped with a front strut bar and a lower tie bar at the rear. Along with the Eunos Roadster (Mazda MX-5 Miata). the Eunos 100 (Mazda Familia Astina), and the 1990 Eunos Cosmo, these formed the initial Eunos brand lineup. The Eunos 300 was a stop-gap solution until the January 1992 launch of the Eunos 500, also known as the Mazda Xedos 6. It underwent no changes during its two-year production run, aside from the addition of the limited production Type X which received BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels.

United States Senate Committee on the Budget

The United States Senate Committee on the Budget was established by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It is responsible for drafting Congress's annual budget plan and monitoring action on the budget for the Federal Government. The committee has jurisdiction over the Congressional Budget Office. The committee briefly operated as a special committee from 1919 to 1920 during the 66th Congress, before being made a standing committee in 1974.

The current Chair is Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and the Ranking Member is Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley.

Contrasted with other committees
The Budget Committee should not be confused with the Finance Committee and the Appropriations Committee, both of which have different jurisdictions: The Finance Committee is analogous to the Ways and Means Committee in the House of Representatives; it has legislative jurisdiction in the areas of taxes, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and some other entitlements. The Appropriations Committee has legislative jurisdiction over appropriations bills, which provide funding for government programs.

While the budget resolution prepared by the Budget Committee sets out a broad blueprint for the Congress with respect to the total levels of revenues and spending for the government as a whole, these other Committees prepare bills for specific tax and spending policies.

117th Congress

 * This is the correct title for the site, people very well might find it here. — siro  χ  o
 * Delete and merge - no redirect . The blog is indeed notable and deserves mention on Wil Wheaton's page, but this article's title is poorly named that no one would search for it under that name. Ian Pugh 19:53, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It is in fact the name of the site. If it were to be kept, that would be the correct article title. I just don't think it should exist outside of the Wil Wheaton article. —Rory ☺ 20:28, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Curses, Rory. You keep catching me on this. Thanks for the various heads-up. I realized that it was the real title of the blog, but my main issue was its too-odd capitalization, but I see it's got a better redirect. Because of this, I'll change my vote to Merge and redirect.

 * Keep, since its the proper title for the article. People please do even a tiny bit of research before voting on VfD, this is the correct title for a notable blog.  — siro  χ  o  21:00, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Where is the policy about "correct title" for articles about websites in this web guide^H^H^H^H^H^H, eh Wikipedia? This could very well be named wilwheaton.net, since that's the *name* of the site. (Poor Wesley should learn to capitalize correctly, IMHO). Since this is at least semi-notable, I change my vote to merge and redirect to Wil Wheaton. jni 05:45, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * With all due respect it's pretty easy to establish the correct title. Go and look at the site. It's clearly labelled as WIL WHEATON dot NET. wilwheaton.net is just the domain name. —Rory ☺ 08:17, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect: Our first letters aren't case sensitive, but our users are civilized enough not to type in all caps for the second whole word and the fourth, but not the third. Goofy.  A nice thing to have in the Wil Wheaton article. Geogre 00:51, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * To reiterate, this is why I was against a redirect originally; but then I discovered it had a proper redirect. It's an odd title, correct though it may be. Ian Pugh 16:23, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

(mogę pisać po polsku, prawda?) Nie mam pojęcia czemu widzisz artykuł pod Rzeszow, dla mnie jest to redirect na Rzeszów i widzę tabelkę poprawnie... Może spróbuj się wylogować i zalogować jeszcze raz lub po prostu odświeżyć stronę..? Co do aglomeracji - chodzi o tzw. zespół miejski lub aglomerację właśnie, a więc dla Gdańska będzie to liczba mieszkańców w Trójmieście, dla Warszawy - mieszkańców Wielkiej Warszawy i tak dalej.

Konturówki i herby

 * 1) Konturówki: jakiś czas temu przygotowałem zestaw konturówek dla Polski - między innymi dla Mazowsza, Warszawy i całej Polski. Wszystkie są robione ręcznie i wypuszczone pod GFDL, więc możesz ich używać do woli. Dodatkowo wypuściłem też czystą konturówkę do zaznaczania nań miast i miasteczek. Rób z nimi co chcesz, pod warunkiem że dopiszesz mnie jako autora i nie będziesz zmieniał licencji.

 * 1) Co do herbów - sprawa nie jest prosta. Flagi zazwyczaj łatwo przerysować samemu i wtedy po kłopocie, symbole miejskie nie są objęte prawem autorskim. Trochę trudniej jest z herbami. Zakładamy, że jeśli dany herb pochodzi ze strony miejskiej robionej przez BIP (a takich jest większość), a więc przez jedną z agend rządowych, to taki herb podlega pod licencję  . Wystarczy wkleić ten tekst między nawiasami na stronę grafiki - i voila!. Gorzej jeśli na stronach rządowych nic nie ma - wtedy trzeba rzeźbić, albo szukać do upadłego jakiejś strony PD.

Po pierwsze primo - tylko nie pan! :) Po drugie primo - zabij mnie - nie wiem. Miałem nadzieję że coś się tam ruszy, ale jak na razie niewiele się dzieję. Myślę że powinieneś po prostu leźć z robotą, najwyżej poproszę któregoś z zawodowców żeby zapuścili bota i on wszystko ładnie poprzenosi. Jeśli potrzebne Ci jakieś konturówki - daj znać, mogę zrobić. Myślę, że dobrze by było gdyby wszystkie trzymały się tego samego koloru. Wtedy juz na pierwszy rzut oka widać że to nie są te niemieckie różowe kreisy tylko nasze, prastare piastowskie...eee... no, wiesz o co chodzi.

TES (magazine)

Tes , formerly known as the Times Educational Supplement, is a British weekly trade magazine aimed at education professionals. It was first published in 1910 as a pull-out supplement in The Times newspaper. Such was its popularity that in 1914, the supplement became a separate publication selling for one penny.

Tes focuses on school-related news and features. It covered higher education until the Times Higher Education Supplement (now Times Higher Education) was launched as a sister publication in 1971. Today its editor is Jon Severs. Since 1964, an alternative version of the publication, TESS, has been produced for Scotland. An edition for Wales, TES Cymru, was also published between 2004 and 2011. The lack of content about Wales since its closure has been criticised by the Welsh Education Minister, Jeremy Miles. All are produced by London-based company TES Global, which has been owned by US investment firm Providence Equity Partners LLC since 2018. The TES no longer has a connection with The Times newspaper. Times Higher Education was sold in 2018 and is now a separate business to TES Global.

Tes is published weekly on Fridays, at a cover price of £3.50. Data from the National Readership Survey Jan–Dec 2012 suggested that the average yearly readership was around 362,000, of which around 90 percent of the readership were in the ABC1 category. In addition to the magazine, TES runs a popular website featuring breaking education news and comment, teaching jobs, forums, and classroom resources that are uploaded by teachers.

History
The idea for a regular section on education in The Times was first proposed in 1905 by J E G de Montmorency, a barrister and writer who later composed leader articles for The TES. The first issue of the monthly educational supplement appeared on 6 September 1910, opening with a witty weather forecast for the UK's school systems. King George V had recently begun his reign, and the paper noted that "some great resettlement of the English school system seems likely to take place".

Over its first decade, The TES established itself as a paper for teachers, though it was primarily aimed at those in private and grammar schools. However, it pressed for education reform from its early years, calling in 1913 for "Secondary Education for All".

In 1914, The TES became a stand-alone publication, noting on the outbreak of the First World War that "every great war in the modern world has been followed by changes in education". Two years afterwards, while the war still raged, the paper began to be published weekly. The TES later explained that "the decision to change into a weekly periodical was taken to lend the support of The Times more effectively to the movement for reform in education which culminated in the Fisher Reform Act of 1918".

Notable editors of The TES included George Sydney Freeman, who was editor for its first 28 years and Harold Dent, a progressive former schoolteacher who became acting editor in 1940. He put the newspaper together practically single-handedly during the Blitz. His editorials pressed for "total reform" of the education system, "based on a new conception of the place, status and function of education in a democratic State, not a patching and padding of the present system". This attitude chimed with the radical thinking then going on within the Board of Education. Mr. Dent had regular meetings with its president, Rab Butler, in the years building up to the 1944 Education Act.

The readership of The TES, once primarily private and grammar school teachers, broadened during the 20th century. During the 1970s, the paper became more supportive of Comprehensive schools, when it had once defended grammars.

In the 1980s, it became increasingly concerned that political reforms might overload or restrict teachers, particularly the launch of the national curriculum and league tables with the Education Reform Act 1988. Its then editor, Stuart Maclure, noted in 1985 that "the irony of the last 10 years, in which the politicians and industrialists have clamoured for reform and accused the educationists of blocking it, was not lost on anyone who cares to look back".

When the newspaper reached its centenary in 2010, its former editor Gerard Kelly, wrote: “If there is one phenomenal, outstanding, amazing development of the past century in this country, it has to be that education has liberated women in a way that was never anticipated by the most liberal of reformers, even by those far-sighted individuals on The TES in 1910."

In September 2011 TES changed from a newspaper to being printed as a magazine.

Ownership
At its start, TES was owned, like its parent paper, by Lord Northcliffe. After his death in 1922, the newspapers were sold to the Astor family, and it was sold on again in 1966 to the Canadian newspaper tycoon Roy Thomson.

Rupert Murdoch took ownership of the newspaper in 1979. Murdoch's News International restructured its newspapers to set up 'Times Supplements Limited' and by 1999, this became 'TSL Education Ltd', which also published THE and Nursery World. In October 2005, the group was sold to Exponent, a private equity group, who in turn sold it to Charterhouse in May 2007.

TES online is run by the London-based 'TES Global', which claims to be "The largest network of teachers in the world", and has been owned by the US-based Providence Equity Partners global investment company since December 2018

Past staff and contributors
Staff journalists at TES have included Simon Jenkins, who became editor of the Evening Standard and The Times; novelist, literary historian, and biographer Valerie Grosvenor Myer; and Timothy Mo and Frances Hill, who both became novelists.

The newspaper's columnists have included Ted Wragg, Caitlin Moran and Libby Purves. The pop singer Daniel Bedingfield was employed to work on the newspaper's website.

External contributors have included Gordon Brown, who contributed comment articles to the Scottish edition of TES as a young lecturer in 1979. A competition for writing by pupils in 1980 was won by Sacha Baron Cohen, then eight years old.

TES Global
TES first established a website in 1997, when it briefly experimented with a paywall.

It was revamped after the newspaper's relaunch in 2007 and is now split into distinct sections, including 'School Solutions', 'Jobs', 'Teaching resources' and 'School portal'. Jobs is home to all the vacancies listed in the TES magazine and is updated daily. 'School solutions' includes various software products that TES offers to schools and teachers.

Over 13 million educators are members of the site and use it regularly.

The Resources section is a platform for teachers to share original classroom resources, including lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, interactive whiteboard resources, worksheets, and activities. As of May 2017, there have been over 1 billion downloads of classroom resources from the TES platform.

In February 2015, TES Global launched an open marketplace, which allowed teachers to buy and sell teaching resources.

The TES portal is now home to "the world's largest online community of teachers", with more than 13 million registered users.

In 2012, PPA (Professional Publishers Association) awarded the TES website the digital product of the year for the 3rd year in a row and TES magazine was named Business Magazine of 2012.

Software and services offered
In 2015, TES bought Hibernia College UK, at the time the largest provider of subject knowledge enhancement courses in England. This later became Tes Institute, which offers routes into teaching as well as safeguarding and training courses for teachers.

TES products include Class Charts, a classroom seating plan and behaviour management tool, and Provision Map, software that schools used to manage special educational needs. These products were produced by Edukey, before that company was bought by TES in 2016. They had previously won the best company award at the 2009 Bett Awards.

In 2019, TES purchased Australian school timetabling business Edval. Edval was named as a top education service provider in Australia in 2021.

In 2021, TES bought Glasgow based SchoolCloud, the company behind software that runs parents’ evening software used by over 8,000 schools. A BBC report on the software suggested that Covid restrictions were leading more schools to run virtual parents' evenings using SchoolCloud software. In March 2023 the Glasgow office was closed and the remaining SchoolCloud staff made redundant as TES centralised roles in its Sheffield and Fishguard offices.

Awards
First held in 2009, The TES Schools Awards are held annually to celebrate achievements by schools in the UK. Categories include a school of the year for primary, secondary, special needs, and early years, as well as healthy school of the year and creative school of the year.

Since 2012, TES has also hosted the Independent School Awards and since 2016 the FE Awards, aimed at the further education sector.

Jehan Alain

Jehan-Aristide Paul Alain (3 February 1911 – 20 June 1940) was a French organist, composer, and soldier. Born into a family of musicians, he learned the organ from his father and a host of other teachers, becoming a composer at 18, and composing until the outbreak of the Second World War 10 years later. His compositional style was influenced by the musical language of the earlier Claude Debussy, as well as his interest in music, dance and philosophy of the far east. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Alain became a dispatch rider in the Eighth Motorised Armour Division of the French Army; he took part in the Battle of Saumur, in which he was killed.

His younger brother was composer-organist-pianist-musicologist Olivier Alain and his younger sister was renowned organist Marie-Claire Alain who was also responsible for popularising his works.

Biography
Alain was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the western suburbs of Paris, into a family of musicians. His father, Albert Alain (1880–1971) was an organist, composer and amateur organ builder who had studied with Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne. His younger brother was the composer, organist and pianist Olivier Alain (1918–1994), and his youngest sister the organist Marie-Claire Alain (1926–2013). Jehan received his initial training in the piano from Augustin Pierson, the organist of Saint-Louis at Versailles, and in the organ from his father, who had built a four-manual instrument in the family sitting room. By the age of 11, Jehan was substituting at St. Germain-en-Laye.

Between 1927 and 1939, he attended the Paris Conservatoire and achieved First Prize in Harmony under André Bloch and First Prize in Fugue with Georges Caussade. He studied the organ with Marcel Dupré, under whose direction he took first prize for Organ and Improvisation in 1939. His studies in composition with Paul Dukas and Jean Roger-Ducasse won him the Prix des amis de l'orgue in 1936 for his Suite for Organ, Op. 48: Introduction, Variations, Scherzo and Choral.

He was appointed organist of Eglise Saint-Nicolas de Maisons-Laffitte in Paris in 1935, and remained there for four years. He also played regularly at the Rue Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth synagogue. The only known recording of his playing—a six-minute improvisation—was made in 1938 at that synagogue.

His short career as a composer began in 1929, when Alain was 18, and lasted until the outbreak of the Second World War 10 years later. His music was influenced not only by the musical language of the earlier Claude Debussy and his own contemporary Olivier Messiaen (seen in Le jardin suspendu, 1934), but also by an interest in the music, dance and philosophies of the far east (acquired at the Exposition coloniale internationale of 1931 and seen in Deux danses à Agni Yavishta, 1932, and Deuxième fantaisie, 1936), a renaissance of baroque music (seen in Variations sur un thème de Clément Janequin, 1937), and in jazz (seen in Trois danses of 1939). Alain described Le jardin suspendu ("The Hanging Garden") as a portrayal of "the ideal, perpetual pursuit and escape of the artist, an inaccessible and inviolable refuge". He wrote choral music, including a Requiem Mass, chamber music, songs and three volumes of piano music. But it is his organ music for which he is best known. His most famous work is Litanies, composed in 1937. That work is prefaced with the text: "Quand l’âme chrétienne ne trouve plus de mots nouveaux dans la détresse pour implorer la miséricorde de Dieu, elle répète sans cesse la même invocation avec une foi véhémente. La raison atteint sa limite. Seule, la foi poursuit son ascension." ("When the Christian soul no longer finds new words in its distress to implore God's mercy, it repeats incessantly the same invocation with a vehement faith. Reason has reached its limits. Alone, faith pursues its ascension"). Deuils ("mourning"), the second of the Trois danses, is dedicated to Odile (Alain's deceased sister) as a "Funeral Dance to an Heroic Memory".

Always interested in mechanics, Alain was a skilled motorcyclist and became a dispatch rider in the Eighth Motorised Armour Division of the French Army. On 20 June 1940, he was assigned to reconnoiter the German advance on the eastern side of Saumur, and encountered a group of German soldiers at Le Petit-Puy. Coming around a curve, and hearing the approaching tread of the Germans, he abandoned his motorcycle and engaged the adversary. After using his machine gun to shoot several infantry soldiers who had ordered him to surrender, he fell mortally wounded. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre for his bravery, and was provisionally buried at the place where he had died.

He left behind his wife, Madeleine Payan, whom he had married in 1935, his three children Denis, Agnès, and Lise, and a body of compositions viewed by many to have been amongst the most original of the 20th century.

Henri Dutilleux's Les citations contains a quotation from Jehan Alain's music. Maurice Duruflé wrote a musical tribute to Jehan Alain with his Prélude et fugue sur le nom d'A.L.A.I.N, Op. 7 for organ.

Chronological catalogue
The JA Catalogue, drawn by Marie-Claire Alain in 2001, uses partially numbers which Jehan Alain had formerly used to better classify his manuscripts. As the numbering of this catalogue is arbitrary, it is not a Catalogue of his works and the numbers shouldn't be used to designate the work titles. In actual fact, during his lifetime, Jehan Alain had used some opus numbers.

Cold Duck

Cold Duck is the name of a sparkling wine made in the United States.

Origin
The recipe was based on a German legend involving Prince Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony ordering the mixing of champagne with unfinished bottles of wine. The drink, as it evolved in Germany, became standardized as one part wine from the Mosel region, one part wine from the Rheinhessen region, and one part champagne, seasoned with lemons and balm mint. The wine produced was given the name Kaltes Ende ("cold end" in German), until it was altered to the similar-sounding term Kalte Ente meaning "cold duck".

Modern Cold Duck was invented in 1937 by Harold Borgman, the owner of Pontchartrain Wine Cellars in Detroit, Michigan. He simultaneously poured champagne and sparkling burgundy into a hollow-stem wine glass.

Other wines

 * In the US, the Michigan winery Bronte Champagnes and Wine was the first to bottle Cold Duck in the 1960s and 1970s. Bronte was sold to Tabor Hill Winery in 1984.
 * During the early 1970s, the South Australian company Orlando Wines produced a sparkling red wine labelled 'Cold Duck'. Between 1971 and 1974, there were a number of trademark registrations, including Cold Turkey, Chicken, Gander, and Stork.
 * In the early 1970s, Glenvale Vineyards and Montana Vineyards in New Zealand each produced wine under the name 'Cold Duck'.
 * Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery in South Africa now produces 'Fifth Avenue Cold Duck', also a sweet sparkling red.

Hurley (stick)

A hurley or hurl or hurling stick (Irish: camán) is a wooden stick used in the Irish sports of hurling and camogie. It typically measures between 45 and 96 cm (18 to 38 inches) long with a flattened, curved bas (, "palm of hand") at the end. The bas is used to strike a leather sliotar ball. GAA Rule 4.5 specifies that the bas should be no more than 13cm at its widest point, however this rule is "ignored completely", with most hurleys having a bas in the region of 15.24 to 17cm.

Name
Different varieties of Hiberno-English call the stick either a 'hurl' or 'hurley'. There are regional variations, with 22 of Ireland's 32 counties using the term 'hurl' according to a poll in 2020, which found that 97% of people in County Cork preferred the name 'hurley', while 98% of people in County Wexford preferred 'hurl'. The use of the word 'hurl', to refer to the stick, reputedly dates back to at least 1882.

Form and construction
Hurleys are made from ash wood; the base of the tree near the root is the only part used and is usually bought from local craftsmen in Ireland (for about €20–50), who still use traditional production methods. However, for some time in the 1970s, hurleys made from plastic were used, mainly produced by Wavin. These proved more likely to cause injury, however, and were phased out. As of 2012, at least one manufacturer was producing synthetic hurleys approved for use by the GAA. On wooden hurleys, steel bands are used to reinforce the flattened end - though these are not permitted in camogie due to increased risk of injury. Bands have been put on hurleys since the beginning; the 8th century Brehon Laws permit only a king's son to have a bronze band, while all others must use a copper band.

No matter how well crafted the hurley is, a hurler may well expect to use several hurleys over the course of the hurling season. The hurleys often break if two collide in the course of a game, or occasionally they break off on the other players (arms, legs, etc.). Two hurleys colliding is colloquially known as "the clash of the ash", a poetic description that has come to be used as a romantic or poetic synonym for the game itself. Some hurleys can be repaired by a method called "splicing". This method involves cutting a bas-shaped piece from another broken hurley and fixing it to the broken bas by way of glue and nails; the two-piece bas is then banded ("hooped") and sanded into shape. (The face of the hurley is called the bas, and is the area used to strike the ball.) Throwing the hurley (e.g., to block a ball going high over one's head) is illegal, though camogie players may drop it to make a handpass.

There are names associated with different parts of the hurley. The bas is the rounded end of the hurley where the sliotar makes contact as it is being struck. At the same end the "heel" of the hurley is the area to the left of the band and at the hurley's edge. It is used to give height to a ball struck on the ground. The rounded area to the right of the band is the "toe" of the hurley and is used in the roll lift or jab lift techniques which allow a player to gain legal possession of a ball into the hand from the ground. The handle is at the opposite end of the hurley to the bas, with the timber cut to form a small lip at the peak (to prevent the hurley from slipping from the player's hand). The handle is typically wrapped with a self-adhesive synthetic foam grip or tape.

When selecting a hurley, choosing the correct size is very important as a hurley that is the incorrect length can be difficult to swing correctly. A correctly sized hurley should be just touching the ground when gripped at the top and held parallel to the player's leg with their arms relaxed. Traditionally it was recommended that the toe of the hurley should reach the player's hip when the heel of the hurley is placed on the ground and held parallel to the player's leg. This has proved inaccurate and unsuitable since two players of the same height can have a difference of 4 inches or 10 centimetres in hip height.

As a gift
The hurley is often given as a gift to or between politicians; for example, Mary McAleese was given two when she was awarded the freedom of Kilkenny in 2009, and Barack Obama was given one by Enda Kenny on his visit to Ireland in 2011. Prince Philip was also given a hurley and sliotar as a gift during Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Ireland.
