Children's Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre

The Children's Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre is a children's hospital in London, Ontario, Canada that provides paediatric care for patients from the London metropolitan area and the rest of Southwestern Ontario.

A separate Children's hospital, named the War Memorial Children's Hospital was completed in 1922. It was built in the same art deco style as the School of Medicine and Nurse's residence that shared a block with it.

The Children's Hospital shared facilities with Victoria Hospital since 1985, when it was renamed Children's Hospital of Western Ontario. The Children's Hospital acquired its current name, in 2007, when the handsome 85-year-old building was determined to be too old to be worth updating, when the Children's Hospital was moved into the Victoria Hospital complex, across the street.

The Victoria Hospital complex is the largest hospital in southwestern Ontario.

The Globe and Mail called the hospital "One of Canada's most prestigious medical institutions".

In 1951 the Children's Hospital was the first facility in the world to deploy a Cobalt-60 Beam Therapy Unit to deliver radiation therapy to cancer patients.

In 2011 the hospital took the rare step of responding to a viral video. Fox News focussed on the hospital's recommendation to remove life support from a brain dead newborn. Other American sites characterized the hospital's recommendation as an example of a Canadian "death panel". The infant, known as "baby Joseph", had been born with a "severe and progressively deteriorating neurological condition." His body was only being kept alive through a ventilator and has a feeding tube. Hospital medical staff determined he would never be able to show any signs of consciousness, and recommended removing his life support tubes.

In October 2018 Ontario's first instance of a new kind of robot assisted brain surgery was performed at the hospital. The fourteen-year-old patient, had been suffering disabling epileptic seizures almost his entire life. In August 2019 he was deemed seizure free. The hospital is the only facility in Ontario performing robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography surgery. Hospitals in Calgary and Montreal are also capable of performing this surgery.

In 2019 the hospital developed a dispute with the TLC Foundation. The local man who founded the organization was barred from visiting the hospital. In 2019 the hospital introduced a policy barring strangers delivering gifts to patients in person. The policy requires gifts to be vetted by hospital staff, to preserve the safety of patients, and to make sure no patient receives unwelcome visitors, or gifts.

A young patient, with brain cancer, who the Foundation's founder had been visiting for four years, released a video, shortly before Christmas, 2019, where he characterized the hospital's policy as stripping him of one of his few friends.

Phil Roman

Philip Roman (born December 21, 1930) is an American animator and the director of the Peanuts and Garfield animated specials. He is the founder of the animation studios Film Roman and Phil Roman Entertainment.

Early life
Philip Roman was born on December 21, 1930, in Fresno, California. His parents were Mexican migrant farm workers. He spoke only Spanish until kindergarten. After graduating from San Joaquin Memorial High School, he moved to Hollywood, California and earned a scholarship to the Hollywood Art Center School.

Career
Roman begin his career in 1955 as an assistant animator for the Disney animated classic Sleeping Beauty. Early in his career, Roman was an animator for Chuck Jones's independent studios, Sib Tower 12 Productions and later Chuck Jones Productions. He was a lead animator for How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, and later provided an audio commentary with June Foray on the DVD release of the film. In the 1970s, Roman directed several of the Peanuts animated specials produced at Bill Melendez' studio.

In 1984, Roman founded his own animation studio, Film Roman, which produced the animation for the Garfield television specials. He directed all the twelve Garfield specials broadcast from 1982 to 1991. He also appeared in the documentary special Happy Birthday, Garfield, which went behind the scenes of both the comic strip and the animated versions of Garfield. In 1992, Roman became animation executive producer for The Simpsons, which his company started working on beginning with season four, taking over from Klasky Csupo, who animated the first three seasons. In the same year, he directed Tom and Jerry: The Movie, his studio's first theatrical feature.

In 1999, Roman sold his studio and later formed Phil Roman Entertainment. The company produced the animated special Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Roman has served as the production supervisor and executive producer in the Mexican-American animated film El Americano: The Movie, which was released in 2016. Following Film Roman's purchase by Waterman Entertainment, Roman returned to the company he founded as chairman emeritus.

In 2016, Roman was awarded the Inkpot Award.

Talk:Ford Trimotor

Byrds flight over the North Pole
Byrds claim to have flown over the North Pole is generally discredited nowadays, the speed of the Tri-Motor being insufficient to take Byrd from Spitzbergen to the North Pole and back in the 15.5 hours he was gone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cabdude (talk • contribs) 18:02, 29 August 2005.

 * In any case, the information was incorrect. Only one aircraft was used on that expedition, and it was a Fokker.  However, the expedition was funded by Ford, and the aircraft named after his daughter.  Fokker was so worried that the public would believe the "Josephine Ford" was the product of his competitor that he plastered his own name all over it! (see ) FiggyBee 08:38, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Infobox
I think this article needs an aircraft infobox. --JJ 00:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Colputt 14:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Should the infobox "developed from" slot be filled with Stout 2-AT? Allens (talk) 01:13, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Have original plans of the ford tri-motor
Would like to find value of these were drawn by TOM TOWLE —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.32.182.79 (talk) 09:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Operation History
I think that Pan Am also operated some Ford Trimotors from its beginning till 1932. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by N747pa (talk • contribs) 03:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

Also left out of the Operation History of the Ford Trimotor, was its use as a SmokeJumper Platform, by the U.S. Forrest Service, beginning in the late 1940s. "On June 28th, 1949, four smokejumpers from the Missoula base jumped the elipse in Washington DC between the White House and the Washington Monument." This quote comes from a photo with this note from the Missoula Smokejumper Visitor Center and is posted on their facebook page, Dated April 3.[1][ 3] There is also a reference to this in the USFS "History of Smoke Jumping".[2-pg5] As a former resident of Missoula Montana, I recall seeing several Ford Trimotor aircraft at the smokejumper base adjacent to the Missoula Airport, until June 1969 when I left the area as a student/resident. KZMike (talk) 01:10, 5 May 2014 (UTC) Michael McCulley

Air conflict?
The infobox says start date 1929, the lead 1925. Which is it? Trekphiler (talk) 22:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure about the 1929 date the first 4-AT flew in June 1926, an earlier one-off Ford 3-AT (a three-engined version of the single-engined Stout 2-AT Pullman) had flown in 1925 but it was not exactly the same as the 4-AT and successors. Perhaps it needs to be made clearer in the intro. MilborneOne (talk) 22:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Definitely needs clarifying. David Donald (Encyclopedia of World Aircraft {Etobicoke: Prospero, 1997}, p.859) says 2-AT Pullman entered service with Florida Airways & Ford Air Transport in '26, & it evo into 1-off 8-passenger 3-AT (with 3x149kW/200hp Whirlwind) in '25, which evo into the Ford. The Trimotor entry (p443) says the 2-AT was in production in early '25, & Ford took over manufacture, the Whirlwinds uncowled. The 4-AT first flew 11 June '26, 2 crew/8 seats, 3xJ-4 Whirlwinds; the 4-AT-B in '27 with 177kW (220hp) J-5s, 12 seats, 39 built. If that clarifies anything... Trekphiler (talk) 03:28 & 03:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * If this article is about the 4-AT onwards then we need to find out when the first 4-AT entered service? MilborneOne (talk) 12:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

C-1077
"Operational history" says that C-1077 was serial number 10, whereas "Survivors" says that it's Serial No. 4. Which is it? 98.110.228.2 (talk) 18:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have corrected survivors to show 10 as per the FAA website . MilborneOne (talk) 18:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Notable appearances in the media
In the 1932 Warner Brothers film "Beauty And The Boss", a Ford 4-AT Trimotor appears right at the start of the film, including both interior and exterior shots. In this instance the engines are equipped with 3 blade propellers. I don't think it is an Avro 618. The characteristic tail gives the Ford type away. Please verify before publishing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.18.249 (talk) 15:29, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", Indy flies with a Ford Trimotor plane from Shanghai to India. IMDB confirms this. 93.219.161.67 (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

The following is a cut and paste from a Wikipedia Article regarding the "Movie Red Skies of Montana", in which the actual Ford TriMotor used by the U.S. Forrest Service in Missoula, was used in the movie as well.

The aircraft utilized for the film's smokejumping scenes (NC8419) was a Ford Trimotor 5-AT-C actually used by the United States Forest Service in its operations.[3] The aircraft served with the USFS from June 5, 1951 to August 4, 1959, when it crashed and burned while landing at the Moose Creek spike camp airstrip in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho, 50 miles west of Missoula, killing two smokejumpers and a Nez Perce National Forest supervisor.[4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by KZMike (talk • contribs) 15:42, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

British Civilian Operator
While not a reliable source, a John Player & Sons cigarette card album, date ~1935, entitled `An Album of Aeroplanes (Civil) shows on card no. 33 what appears to be Ford Trimotor (described as `Ford Air Liner') UK registration G - ABFF. This is said to be used on a regular service between London & Le Touquet (Paris). The aircraft appears to be in aluminium finish with no legible sign of ownership, although Imperial Airways-owned aircraft are similar in appearance. Do reliable sources support the operation of this aircraft type by UK-based airlines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barney Bruchstein (talk • contribs) 13:34, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Two 4-AT-E Trimotors have appeared on the British register, G-ABEF and G-ACAK and three of the larger 5-AT-C/D G-ABFF, G-ABHO and G-ACAE:

The commercial operator was the British Air Navigation Company who flew routes out of Heston Aerodrome in the early 1930s although G-ABFF on the card was the only a demonstrator for a few months and probably didnt operate scheduled services. MilborneOne (talk) 15:49, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * G-ABEF 4-AT-E was a Ford demonstrator and was registered to the British agent H.S.Cooper in October 1930, operated by "British Air Navigation Company" from July 1934 until is was sold in Australia in June 1935.
 * G-ACAK 4-AT-E which was imported from Spain by H.S.Cooper in October 1932, sold in Australia in December 1934.
 * G-ABFF 5-AT-C which was imported from the US by H.S.Cooper in October 1930, re-registered G-ABHF in January 1931 and sold in Australia in October 1934.
 * G-ABHO 5-AT-C which was imported from the US by Earl of Lovelace in December 1930, to "British Air Navigation Company" in January 1934 and sold in Australia in June 1935.
 * G-ACAE 5-AT-D which was imported from the US by A.E.Guinness in 1933, impressed into RAF service in April 1940.

Tail numbers
I spotted NC9645 flying overhead today but was surprised to see it's listed as N9645 on this page.

The Aircraft registration article includes:
 * An older aircraft (registered before 31 December 1948) may have a second letter in its identifier, identifying the category of aircraft. This additional letter is not actually part of the aircraft identification (e.g. NC12345 is the same registration as N12345). Aircraft category letters have not been included on any registration numbers issued since 1 January 1949, but they still appear on antique aircraft for authenticity purposes.

Thus, N9645 is the official registration number for that aircraft but should we be using the numbers that are painted on the aircraft? For the operational aircraft it's: --Marc Kupper|talk 05:03, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

"Short range capabilities"?
"The short-range capabilities of the Ford Trimotor were exploited in a search for the lost flyers of the Sigizmund Levanevsky trans-polar flight in 1937. Movie stunt flyer Jimmie Mattern flew a specially modified Lockheed Electra along with fellow movie flyer, Garland Lincoln, flying a stripped-down Trimotor donated by the president of Superior Oil Company. With 1,800 gallons of avgas and 450 gallons of oil in the modified cabin, the Trimotor was intended to act as a "tanker" for the expedition. The Electra was able to transfer fuel in the air from the Trimotor, through a hose cast out the 4-AT's door. With the first aerial refueling test successful, the pair of pilots set out for Fairbanks, landing first at Burwash Landing, Yukon Territory, Canada, on August 15, 1937, but the Trimotor ran out of fuel and crashed in inclement weather the following day. The Trimotor was abandoned on the tundra." Why the "short range capabilities"? Whoever heard of a plane being chosen specifically because it lacks range? I assume it means that the plane was chosen for its weight lifting/STOL capabilities as a refuelling plane to refuel the actual search planes after takeoff to extend their range, but when you first read that paragraph the implication is that the Ford accompanied the search planes and refuelled them in midair, which makes the "short range" part seem confusing. The Ford didn't have particularly short "legs" and if it did it was used in spite of them not because of them.

Differdange

Differdange (Déifferdeng or locally Déifferdang ; Differdingen ) is a commune with town status in south-western Luxembourg, 27 km west from the country's capital. It lies near the borders with Belgium and France and it is located in the canton of Esch-sur-Alzette. With a population of around 29,500, Differdange is the country's third largest city. It is also the main town of the commune, and other towns within the commune include Lasauvage, Niederkorn, Fousbann, and Oberkorn.

Differdange is an industrial town that was home to much of Luxembourg's steel production, much of its development occurred during its heyday. Today, Differdange still remains an important industrial center, with ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel producer, retaining the ARBED steel plant in the town.

Notable landmarks in Differdange include the Maison de Soins de Differdange, an ancient Cistercian abbey dating back to 1235 and the Differdange Castle, located on a hill in the centre of the town, which dates from 1577 and is now used by Miami University. As such, Differdange is home to Miami University's Dolibois European Center, the university's European campus branch where students study abroad.

Differdange is also home to football team FC Differdange 03.

The Cistercian Era
The era of the Cistercian cathedrals and abbeys was in full swing during the thirteenth century and Differdange did not deviate from this pattern. In 1235, Alexandre de Soleuvre founded the abbey of Differdange, which he donated to the order of Cîteaux. Initially, the Cistercian abbey welcomed only sisters from the nobility of Luxembourg. Subsequently, women from the Lorraine region of France and the present province of Luxembourg in Wallonia also made their vows at Differdange.

In 1552, the abbey was plundered and sacked by French soldiers. However, it was during the French invasion of Luxembourg that the abbey and the town experienced real raids and innumerable rampages.

The last abbess to direct the convent was Marie-Madeleine de Gourcy, who held office until 1796. After her mandate, the Order was then formally dissolved. The Abbey of Differdange was auctioned off in 1797 and subsequently be bought by the commune of Differdange in 1929. In 1981 following its purchase by government of Luxembourg, the Differdange Abbey was transformed into a hospital and health center.

The Renaissance Era
The Differdange Castle is one of the only remaining landmarks from the Renaissance period in the area. Although it has no known origin since all traced manuscripts have disappeared, squire listed was Wilhelm de Differdange, named in documents dating from 1310. The castle is probably the earliest example in Luxembourg of a château built entirely in the Renaissance style. It was intended as a residence and a fortification. Differdange's descendants were extinguished in 1400 with the death of his last grandson.

In 1552, the castle underwent a disastrous fire, It was eventually restored and occupied by Anna of Isenburg. In 1794, the French Revolutionary Army committed atrocities in Differdange and slaughtered many unarmed civilians before pillaging and burning the city.

The Iron City
Beginning in 1830, Luxembourg's steel industry evolved from and artisan stage to an industrial stage. In 1896, two blast furnaces were erected in Differdange with the name of "Société Anonyme des Hauts-Fourneaux de Differdange". Subsequently, eight other blast furnaces were built, allowing the production of steel beams known at the time as "Differdinger".

On August 4, 1907, Differdange received its town status by William IV of Luxembourg.

During the 20th century, the industrial boom was at its peak, and the population of Differdange rose from less than 4,000 in 1890 to almost 18,000 by 1930.

In 1967, the "Société des Hauts-Fourneaux and Aciererie de Differdange" merged with several steel companies in Belgium and France to form ARBED, Luxembourg's largest steel company, which had numerous factories in Differdange.

Geography
The town is located in the plateau of the river Chiers, a tributary of the river Meuse which takes its source in the section of Oberkorn.

Differdange has an altitude of 293 meters, the highest point of the municipality being at 427,1m at Koufeld.

The commune spreads over 2,215 hectares.

Its territory borders France, through the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle in the basin of Longwy.

WOSU-FM

WOSU-FM (89.7 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to Columbus, Ohio, featuring a public radio news and information format known as "89.7fm NPR News". Owned by Ohio State University, the station serves the Columbus metro area and has multiple repeaters throughout Ohio, making the station a multiple transmitter station.

WOSU-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 40,000 watts. Its transmitter is on West Dodridge Road in Columbus, near the Olentangy River.

Classical music
WOSU-FM signed on for the first time on December 13, 1949. It initially simulcast its sister station, WOSU 820 AM, from sign-on until just after sunset, when the AM station, a daytimer, had to go off the air. WOSU-FM then broadcast its own programming until signing off at 7:30 pm. In 1950, the broadcast day was extended to 9:15 pm. It began 24-hour operation in 1960, and began airing a fully separate schedule on October 1, 1968. The station broadcast an all-classical format from 1980 until 2008.

It was the first station in Columbus to broadcast using HD Radio technology, beginning on April 5, 2004, at 3:30 p.m. It was also the first station in the United States to begin full-time multicast broadcasting when its HD-2 channel debuted on October 15, 2004.

From January 14, 2008, WOSU-FM switched to a mixed news/classical format, introducing NPR news magazines during morning and afternoon drive times along with several popular NPR weekend programs such as Weekend Edition, Car Talk, and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, plus This American Life from Public Radio International. Many of these programs were simulcast with sister station WOSU-AM. WOSU-FM now features a 24-hour-a-day classical music service on its HD-2 digital subchannel as well as on its web site.

News and information
In Fall 2010, Ohio State University purchased commercial station 101.1 WWCD. That station was soon given new call letters – WOSA – and switched to a full-time classical music station. WOSU-FM then ended most music programming and began simulcasting the NPR news and talk format on WOSU-AM, though the FM station was now branded as the main station. Four of its satellite stations, WOSB in Marion, WOSE in Coshocton, WOSP in Portsmouth and WOSV in Mansfield were converted to repeaters of WOSA's classical format. In particular, WOSB and WOSV serve areas north of Columbus that do not get a good signal from the 101.1 frequency. These four stations, along with along with the newly-acquired WOSX in Granville, readded some of WOSU-FM's news programming, including Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, and All Things Considered, to their schedules on March 2, 2020, while continuing to simulcast WOSA for most of the day; the programming on WOSU-FM and WOSA did not change.

Original programming on WOSU-FM includes daily two-hour public affairs show All Sides with Ann Fisher. A weekly music program Bluegrass Ramble is also produced by WOSU-FM.

Repeater
WOSU-FM's signal is repeated on W202CE 89.3 FM in Coshocton.

Fred Ajudua

Fred Chijindu Ajudua is a Nigerian lawyer accused of being an advance-fee fraud scammer.

Fred Ajudua, an Ibusa native, studied law and graduated from the University of Benin, Edo State. In March 1994, Newswatch Magazine published an article saying that I.G Aliyu Atta, at that time Inspector-General of Police, cancelled a meeting with senior police officers in order to receive Ajudua. Aliyu Atta sued the magazine for libel but did not succeed. In 2000 he was reported as having served five years of prison at Kirikiri and Agodi.

In October 2003, Alhaji Nuhu Ribadu, Chairman of the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said that Ajudua had twelve cases pending against him including an advance fee fraud of 1.6 million Euros and another of $1.5 million, both committed in 2001. He was accused of collecting money from Nelson Allen, a Canadian who lost $250,000. A German was said to have lost $350,000 to him. He was said to have tricked more than $1.69-million out of two Dutch nationals between 1999 and 2000. On July 26, 2005 the German woman, Frieda Springer-Beck, agreed to an out-of-court settlement after a long series of inconclusive court appearances dating back to 1993.

After his imprisonment, while awaiting trial for fraud, he was appointed to teach basic law. Ajudua was granted bail to seek medical attention in India on 3 February 2005. Hearing that he was back in Nigeria, the EFCC attempted to arrest him on 20 March 2007 at a beer parlour in Ibusa. The move was thwarted by armed thugs. The commission appealed to anyone who has information that could lead to the fugitive's arrest.

In 2007, the Administrative Panel of Inquiry on Reports of Alleged Corrupt Practices recommended that Ajudua's wife should not run for political office on the basis of an EFCC report that she had been involved in a conspiracy to obtain $7.85M and $3Million under false pretense and had used money from fraud to campaign for election, although the panel noted that there was no direct evidence linking her to the activities of her husband.

Godstone

Godstone is a village and civil parish in the Tandridge District of Surrey, England. It is 6 mi east of Reigate, 3 mi west of Oxted, 22 mi east of Guildford and 18 mi south of London. Close to the North Downs and Blindley Heath. The Greensand Way and the North Downs Way both pass through Godstone.

Etymology
The earliest known appearance of the name is Godeston from AD 1248. It was subsequently known as Godestone, Godiston, Codeston, Codestone, Coddestone, Coddeston and Goddeston. The name took its current form in AD 1548.

The root itself is uncertain but the same as the towns of Godalming and Godmanchester, suggesting it may be derived from the ethnonym of the Goths who settled Sub-Roman Britain. It appears the town was part of a Sub-Roman network, linked via old Roman road to Goddards Green and Ditchling in Sussex.

A proposed link with Godgifu, daughter of Æthelred the Unready, is speculative. The Domesday Book of 1086 does record the parish as being held by her widower, Count Eustace II of Boulogne, but there is no indication the hamlet was named for her. Attributions to a non-historical founder named Cōd are examples of founding myths.

History
Godstone was originally merely a hamlet in the parish of Walkingstead, with the centre of population later shifting from the latter to the former. It appears that the manor-houses of Marden and Lagham were centres of population till the inhabitants were nearly exterminated by the Black Death of 1349.

The village lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative division of Tandridge hundred. It was built along a stretch of the London to Brighton Way Roman road, which came through the high Caterham Gap and continues southward along Tilburstow Hill Road. The church gave its name to another and probably earlier settlement on the main road, which then passed by Marden Park and went on to Lagham.

In the 1800s, stone was quarried at Godstone. The mine is no longer in production any more but is used by the caving community.

Geography
The heart of Godstone consists of two centres, Church Town and Godstone Green, linked by other neighbourhoods. Both are now conservation areas. Overall the long north–south parish covers 1806 ha and through its length of approximately 3 mi the A22 road runs.

Church Town has old timber-framed buildings. The Old Packhouse, dating from the 15th century, is the oldest timber-framed building in the town. In the 18th century, brick became the fashionable material for house building, and Church End and Church House, opposite the church, are two listed architectural examples.

St Nicholas Church dominates Church Town. James Evelyn of Fellbridge House built a memorial chapel in 1787, which has the tombs of Sir John and Lady Evelyn. The North aisle was built in about 1845. Sir George Gilbert Scott's restoration of the church in 1872-3 involved widening of the chancel arch, inserting a new north side to the chancel, new windows to the nave and east end, and adding the south aisle. The churchyard contains a notable sarsen stone marking the grave of Walker Miles whose work in the early days of the "Ramblers' movement" contributed to the formation of the Ramblers of Great Britain.

At the same time, Sir George Gilbert Scott designed St Mary's almshouses next to St Nicholas Church for Mrs Mabel Hunt of Wonham House, in memory of her only daughter who had died at the age of sixteen. Built in a Victorian Tudor/gothic style, they include eight self-contained houses, a wardens house and a beautiful little chapel, dedicated to St Mary. The flèch-capped chapel and the gables compose a very pretty hamlet. Godstone Green became a busy centre of roads and vehicles during the growth of wheeled traffic in the 16th century, an era which spawned the establishment of Godstone's numerous inns. A number of houses built entirely of brick appeared in the 18th century, notably the row in the High Street.

During the 19th century, The Pond at Godstone Green was used as a horse-pond with a sloping bank down which the wagoners drove their horses.

In the very core of the village is a triangular island, which in Victorian times, was densely packed with a remarkable number of cottages intersected by alleys. It is claimed to have been the worst slum in Surrey, which is no longer the case, with each dwelling having been paid much care and attention.

The two parts of Godstone are linked by Bullbeggars Lane, a narrow road leading from the south of the village to the church, and the footpath running from the White Hart pub and its barn, along Bay Pond to Church Lane. The original village around St Nicholas Church was decimated during the great plague of 1342 with the victims being buried in two 'plague pits' in Bullbeggars Lane. Even in death, the sexes were kept separate; men and women were interred in separate pits. The road running past the church was at one time the main coastal road with the present village not being built until Tudor times. The Pack House featured in the Gracie Fields film 'Sing as you dance along', with Gracie dancing along the lane past the cottage which used to be an Inn.

South Godstone
South Godstone was originally known as Lagham and centred on the old mediæval moated manor house of Lagham, a scheduled ancient monument and Grade II* listed building. It also features a listed brew house, oast house and stable just north on its moat. It forms a neighbourhood buffered by countryside immediately north of Godstone railway station.

It has St Stephen's Church, St Stephen's C of E primary school, a garage, several garden nurseries, a hairdresser, and a sports and social club. There was once a pub opposite the railway station – originally named 'The Railway', it has since been renamed 'The Lagham' –  it is currently operating as an Indian Restaurant. The Fox & Hounds on Tilburstow Hill is also a short walk away.

It is home to South Godstone FC, whose first team currently compete in Intermediate Division One of the Surrey South Eastern Combination.

Blindley Heath
Blindley Heath is the southernmost portion of the parish, a hamlet separated by fields from the village of Godstone. The Blindley Heath Site of Special Scientific Interest is the best known example of a relict damp grassland on Weald Clay in Surrey and has several ponds and a stretch of the Ray Brook. It is also a Local Nature Reserve and is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. There is an active C of E church to St John the Evangelist built in 1842.

The Enterdent
This is a small parcel of land, tucked away in between Tilburstow Hill Road and Eastbourne Road, to the south of Godstone.

The name Enterdent alludes to a cluster of cottages on the land set in a wooded valley. The origin of the name, the Enterdent, has never been satisfactorily explained. It has previously been known as Lower and Upper Henterden and, in the 19th century, Polly Pains Bottom. It is perhaps the dene or valley between two hills.

The first two dwellings appeared in 1842, and improvements began on the cottages in 1857, now number 6 and 7 The Enterdent. These buildings were enlarged with an extension at the rear and five further cottages were added, making a row of seven. A second terrace of cottages, this time eight in number, appeared further up the valley.

Today, the fifteen original cottages have been converted to eight homes. The additional five cottages from the original terrace have since been converted into two larger properties, number 1 comprising three cottages, and number 5 comprising the remaining two. Numbers 6 and 7 still remain as individual cottages. At the entrance to the Enterdent, from Eastbourne Road, is a Georgian-style house, which was a tea room and a hotel from the 1920s to the 1940s. It has since been converted into two cottages, River Cottage and White Cottage.

Despite all the changes, the Enterdent has essentially remained relatively unaltered. The cottage gardens and vegetable allotments stand to this day, so too do the sandpit, the brook, the woods, and the bluebells.

Amenities
Godstone Village School is in the Godstone Green neighbourhood of the village. It caters for children between the ages of 3 and 11.

The Orpheus Centre is an inclusive performing arts college for young adults with physical or learning disabilities, founded in 1998 by British entertainer and musician Richard Stilgoe in his former family home in the village. The CEO is Graham Whitehead. The college is overseen by a voluntary Board of eight, of which the chairman is John Beer OBE.

Godstone Vineyards is a local wine producer selling wine from the premises on Quarry Road. There is a petting zoo and farm giving children an introduction to animals by the Vineyards, Godstone Farm.

Transport
Godstone is at the junction of the A22 and A25 long-distance roads, the A22 is designated a trunk road by the National Highways, which leads to Eastbourne, East Sussex. Junction 6 of the M25 motorway is just to the north of the village, immediately south of this junction is the town's fire station. Godstone is also the traffic control centre for the southern M25.

The village is served by Godstone railway station on the Redhill–Tonbridge line which is located in the hamlet of South Godstone (which used to be known as Lagham), approximately 2 miles to the south of the village. The station is served by hourly train services between Redhill and Tonbridge.

Godstone is served by Metrobus route 400 and Southdown PSV routes 409 and 410. These services provide connections to Oxted, Selsdon, Redhill, Caterham, Gatwick Airport, East Grinstead and Crawley.

The Greensand Way, a long-distance footpath, skirts the southern edge of the village en route to Tandridge.

Sport
Godstone is the home of Godstone Football Club, whose first team currently play in the championship of the Mid-Sussex League. Godstone FC U17 RS play in the Epsom & Ewell League Under 18 Premier League, Godstone FC U17 play in Division 2. Godstone FC Vets play a number of friendlies against local sides throughout the season. All home games are played on Godstone Green.

Governance
Local administration is divided between Oxted, 2.8 mi east and Kingston upon Thames, 15.8 mi north-west.

There is one representative on Surrey County Council, Chris Farr who is an Independent.

There are three representatives on Tandridge District Council:

There is also a parish council with 9 members.

Demography and housing
The average level of accommodation in the region composed of detached houses was 28%, the average that was apartments was 22.6%.

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%. The proportion who owned their home with a loan compares to the regional average of 32.5%. The remaining % is made up of rented dwellings (plus a negligible % of households living rent-free).

2009 E. coli outbreak

Prince Francis of Teck

Prince Francis of Teck (Francis Joseph Leopold Frederick; 9 January 1870 – 22 October 1910) was the younger brother of the British queen Mary of Teck, wife of King George V.

Family

Francis Joseph Leopold Frederick, known as "Frank", was born at Kensington Palace and educated at Wellington College, Cheltenham College (Stone, 1912, p. xviii) and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.

His father was Prince Francis, Duke of Teck, the son of Duke Alexander of Württemberg and Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde (created the Countess von Hohenstein). His mother was the Duchess of Teck (née Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge), the youngest daughter of Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge and a granddaughter of George III. Frank was thus styled "His Serene Highness Prince Francis of Teck".

Education
He was expelled from Wellington College, Berkshire "for throwing his housemaster over a hedge to win a bet. All through his life he was an incorrigible gambler. He then went to Cheltenham where he got into more trouble."

Personal life
Francis never married. According to Julia P. Gelardi's Born to Rule, Prince Francis was vigorously pursued by Princess Maud of Wales, his sister's sister-in-law. The two exchanged letters, but it soon became clear that Francis was not interested in Maud. She went on to marry her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark, becoming Queen of Norway in 1905.

Francis had an affair with society beauty Ellen Constance, wife of Francis Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey, to whom he allegedly bequeathed the Cambridge emeralds, part of the Teck family jewels. To recover these family heirlooms, Francis's sister, Queen Mary, negotiated with Lady Kilmorey to buy back the emeralds, reportedly paying her £10,000 for them. His will was also sealed to avoid potential scandal. The document remains unpublished, and subsequent royal wills have followed this tradition. His estate was valued at £23,154 (or £1.9 million in 2022 when adjusted for inflation).

The English actress Sarah Miles has claimed to be the great-granddaughter of Prince Francis, through her grandfather, allegedly an illegitimate son of the Prince called Francis Remnant, born in Richmond, Surrey, in 1894.

Military career
He attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst and served in the Lancers and the Royal Rifle Corps before joining the Royal Dragoons in 1890. He rose to the rank of Major, before retiring in 1902.

 * 1889.01.30 2nd Lieutenant, 9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers
 * 1889.04.17 transferred to 1st Battalion, The King's Royal Rifle Corps
 * 1890.10.08 transferred to 1st Royal Dragoons
 * 1891.08.26 Lieutenant, 1st Royal Dragoons
 * 1894.07.25 Captain, 1st Royal Dragoons
 * 1896.11.25 Aide de Camp to the General Officer Commanding, Quetta, India
 * 1897.08.06 attached Egyptian Army
 * 1897–1898 served in Nile Expedition (Atbara and Khartoum) (rcvd: MID twice, DSO, Medal with clasp)
 * 1899.01.11 Aide de Camp to the General Officer Commanding, South Eastern District
 * 1899.07.24 Staff Captain, Remount Establishment, Dublin
 * 1899.05.29 DAAG, Remount Establishment, South Africa
 * 1899–1900 served in the South African War in Transvaal operations (rcvd: MID, brevet Major, Queen's Medal with 3 clasps)
 * 1900.11.29 Brevet Major
 * 1901.11.16 Major, 1st Dragoons
 * 1901.11.16 retired and transferred to Reserve of Officers
 * 1902.09.03 retired from the 1st Dragoons, receiving a gratuity

In 1902 he again visited South Africa, and following the end of hostilities returned to England in June that year on board the SS Kinfauns Castle.

Death
He died suddenly in 1910 at the age of forty, having caught pneumonia at Balmoral.

After being initially interred in the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, he was buried in the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore.

Orders and decorations

 * undefined: Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, 8 December 1898; Knight Grand Cross, 1 December 1909

What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?

'What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? A Tribute' is the 26th prime-time animated television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz, who introduced the special. It originally aired on the CBS network on May 30, 1983, Memorial Day in the United States, and one week prior to the 39th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion. It was rebroadcast on CBS on May 26, 1984 and again on May 29, 1989.

Production
The special directly follows the events of the 1980 theatrical feature film Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!). Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Woodstock are returning from their student exchange in France. The film was purposefully open-ended in case there could be other adventures among the characters prior to returning home.

Charles Schulz said about its development,

I kept thinking how interesting it would be if they should somehow get lost on this little trip and end up at Omaha Beach and envision the scenes of the famous D-Day Invasion of World War II. I even thought that they might pass through Belgium and we could show some landscapes affected by World War I, and how emotional it could be if one of the characters somehow could be made to recite the immortal poem, John McCrae's In Flanders Fields.

Schulz struggled with development of the storyline until shortly after his open-heart surgery in 1981. While recuperating, he was able to finalize the concept with a common line that would tie everything together, "What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?"

Plot
The special opens with Charlie Brown at home and he takes a book from his shelf titled "My Trip". His younger sister, Sally, approaches and asks him what he's doing. Charlie Brown tells her that he's making a photo album with pictures he took in France when he, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Snoopy, and Woodstock went there for a student exchange. Sally realizes that Charlie Brown never told her what happened after the fire in the chateau and how he got home and asks if he learned anything. From there, it is shown in a flashback:

As they begin to head back from the chateau to the train station for the return trip to London (where they would return to America by plane), their problematic rented Citroën 2CV slows their progress, before breaking down entirely in a small French town. Renting another one from a French lady (who immediately accepts their offer after realizing Snoopy is, in fact, a World War I Flying Ace) they soon become lost and camp at a nearby beach for the night. Linus, however, wakes up shortly before daybreak and walks along the beach, realizing they are at Omaha Beach.

Linus then tells of the battle of D-Day, leading the group to the nearby cemetery for all of the American soldiers. The voice of General Dwight D. Eisenhower is also heard, reminiscing about the experiences of the battle. Archival news footage is also used, in some cases with the characters inserted through rotoscoping.

While proceeding up north, they head towards Ypres, which Linus recognized as the site of a series of battles during World War I. They arrive at a field of red poppies, which grew throughout the wastelands of battles fought during the war, and which serves as a marker for the Ypres battle site. Linus then recites John McCrae's famous poem In Flanders Fields, after directing the group to the British field dressing station where McCrae was inspired to write the poem.

They come away realizing what the impact of the wars were, and how important the sacrifice of the soldiers was. Standing among the field of red poppies, Linus then turns and asks, "What have we learned, Charlie Brown?". The scene flashes back to him and Sally. She then tells him that he is pasting the pictures upside down.

Voice cast

 * Brad Kesten as Charlie Brown
 * Jeremy Schoenberg as Linus van Pelt
 * Stacy Heather Tolkin as Sally Brown
 * Brent Hauer/Victoria Vargas as Peppermint Patty
 * Michael Dockery as Marcie
 * Monica Parker as French Lady
 * Bill Melendez as Snoopy and Woodstock

Award
The special won a Peabody Award for "distinguished achievement and meritorious public service" in broadcasting. Schulz would later say of the acclaim,

The Peabody award we received for What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? was a very gratifying response to the program, plus many wonderful letters from appreciative young viewers who said that they now understood what happened on June 6, 1944. We labeled this show with the subtitle A Tribute, because that was exactly what we wanted it to be: no more and no less. It proved also that the characters of Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy and the others were close enough to being real to handle delicately a subject that other animated characters would destroy.

Home media
The special was released on VHS by Kartes Video Communications in 1987 and again by Paramount on June 25, 1996. The special is available for purchase on iTunes together with You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown and He's a Bully, Charlie Brown, and is now available on DVD in the Peanuts Emmy Honored Collection.

Aksak Maboul

Aksak Maboul are a Belgian avant-rock band founded in 1977 by Marc Hollander with Vincent Kenis, and now revolving around Hollander and Véronique Vincent. Aksak Maboul hasn't stopped changing shape and form throughout its existence (the only permanent member being its initiator), exploring diverse musical styles with their own aesthetic approach.

Aksak Maboul started out with two studio albums, Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine (1977) and Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits (1980), the latter with ex-Henry Cow members Chris Cutler and Fred Frith. They were also active in the Rock in Opposition movement in 1979.

Around the mid-1980s, Aksak Maboul went into a 30-year hiatus, during which Marc Hollander fully devoted himself to his Crammed Discs label, before resuming his activities as a musician in 2014 by working on the unfinished third Aksak Maboul album, Ex-Futur Album (by Véronique Vincent & Aksak Maboul), that had been written and recorded between 1980 and 1983. The album came out in October 2014. Since the mid 2010s, Aksak Maboul revolves around Marc Hollander and Véronique Vincent, seconded by Faustine Hollander. The band started touring again in 2015, with a new line-up. In May 2020, they have released a brand-new double album entitled Figures.

History
The story of Aksak Maboul began in 1977 when producer Marc Moulin commissioned Marc Hollander to write and record an album for his ephemeral label Kamikaze. Hollander soon invited his friend Vincent Kenis to join in, and the pair recorded the album Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine (French for "Eleven Dances for Fighting Migraine"). Hollander (keyboards, reeds, percussion) and Kenis (guitar, bass guitar, keyboards) were joined by guests such as Chris Joris (percussion, keyboards), Catherine Jauniaux (voice) and others. The album was released in 1977 under the name Marc Hollander / Aksak Maboul on Kamikaze Records, and later reissued on Crammed Discs.

Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine was a playful mix of musical forms, cultures and genres. With drum machines and looping organ lines, it shuffled between improvised jazz, ethnic music, electronics and classical music. It was largely an instrumental album with snatches of singing and voices. The album contains many ideas and directions later explored by the Crammed Discs label, which Marc Hollander founded in 1980, and still runs to this day.

In late 1977 Aksak Maboul started performing live, with Hollander, Kenis, Chris Joris, as well as Marc Moulin (keyboards), who was soon replaced by Frank Wuyts, Denis van Hecke (cello) and Michel Berckmans (bassoon, oboe) of Univers Zéro joined in early 1978. In early 1979, Hollander invited Chris Cutler and Fred Frith of the recently defunct avant-rock group Henry Cow to join Aksak Maboul on their next record. They rehearsed together, performed in a few concerts and then went to Sunrise Studio, Kirchberg in Switzerland to record their second album, Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits (French for "A Little of the Bandits' Spirit"). This was released in 1980 on Crammed Discs, a new independent record label Hollander had created to release the album.

Un Peu de l'Ame des Bandits (released as "Aqsak Maboul") was more intense and experimental than their first album. It contained complex written sections as well as improvised ambient pieces. It used sampling before samplers were invented and was a mixture of tangos, Turkish tunes, chamber rock, noisy punk rock and pseudo-Varèse music. Like the first album, it was instrumental with a little singing and voices.

Back on the road again, Aksak Maboul joined the Rock in Opposition (RIO) movement and in April 1979 they performed at an RIO festival at the Teatro dell'Elfo in Milan, Italy. Aksak Maboul were one of the last of the original RIO bands.

In early 1980, Hollander founded the Crammed Discs independent record label. A few months later the original nucleus of Aksak Maboul (Hollander and Kenis) and the core of a Brussels band Les Tueurs de la Lune de Miel joined forces to become The Honeymoon Killers. They toured Europe between 1980 and 1981, although still under the name Aksak Maboul. "Bosses de Crosses", one of the first pieces they composed, was included on the CD re-issue of Un Peu de l'Ame des Bandits. In 1981, they recorded an album entitled Tueurs de la Lune de Miel / Honeymoon Killers, which attracted a lot of attention across Europe and Japan. The band toured for four years under that name.

During that period, Hollander and Honeymoon Killers vocalist Véronique Vincent, aided by Kenis, wrote and recorded a series of electronic avant-pop tracks which were meant to become Aksak Maboul's third album. The release was announced in the first Crammed Discs catalogues (in the early 1980s), but it was not completed and was put on hold, until 2014. However in 1983 a single from these sessions "I'm Always Crying" was released from these sessions under Vincent's name with production credited to Aksak Maboul.

The last Aksak Maboul recording to appear in the 1980s came out on a 1984 compilation album, Made to Measure Vol. 1, where the original duo of Hollander and Kenis contributed seven tracks of new material composed for a play by Michel Gheude based on the life of Maïakovsky. The band performed once at Kitchen in New York with line-up of Hollander, Kenis, Vincent and Gerald Fenerberg in 1986. By the mid-1980s Aksak Maboul ceased to exist as a permanent group, while Hollander and Kenis played an active role in Crammed Discs' musical policies (producing and/or performing on dozens of albums, ). Still in 1987 album La Débutante by singer Sonoko was partly produced by Aksak Maboul. In the late 1980s, Hollander and Kenis produced several electronic dance music tracks under the name Mr Big Mouse.

In 2010, Aksak Maboul produced a new track for Tradi-Mods vs Rockers, the tribute album to the Congotronics series which came out on Hollander's Crammed Discs label. Aksak Maboul's contribution is "Land Dispute", a new take on a song by Congolese band Kasai Allstars. The song is performed by Marc Hollander, Clément Marion & Faustine Hollander.

In 2014, Hollander resumed work on the unfinished 3rd Aksak Maboul album from 1981 to 1983, mixing and editing tracks from demos and rough versions (some of them retrieved from cassette tapes). Entitled Ex-Futur Album, the album was released under the name Véronique Vincent & Aksak Maboul, preceded by a first single ("Chez les Aborigènes") (the song had been released as a rough demo on Crammed Discs' compilation Crammed Global Soundclash 1980–89: The Connoisseur Edition in 2003. ). The album was followed by a video, Afflux de Luxe.

In early 2015, encouraged by the enthusiastic reactions to Ex-Futur Album, Aksak Maboul started playing shows for the first time since the mid-80s, with a new line-up including Véronique Vincent (vocals), Marc Hollander (keyboards), Faustine Hollander (guitar, bass, vocals), Sebastiaan Van den Branden (guitar, bass, synth) and Christophe Claeys (drums, percussion), the latter two being also members of Amatorski.

A full album of reinterpretations (covers and reworks) of the songs from Ex-Futur Album, entitled 16 Visions of Ex-Futur, came out in October 2016. It features contributions by Jaakko Eino Kalevi, Aquaserge, Laetitia Sadier, Forever Pavot, Flavien Berger, Nite Jewel, Bullion, Burnt Friedman, Hello Skinny, Marc Collin, Bérangère Maximin, Lena Willikens etc., as well as two  "self-covers" recorded by the 2016 line-up of Aksak Maboul. On this occasion, the band created a live show entitled Aksak Maboul Revue, for which they were joined onstage by Laetitia Sadier, Jaakko Eino Kalevi, and members of Aquaserge.

At the end of 2018, Aksak Maboul announced that they were starting to work on a brand-new album. Entitled Figures, it's a double album, which was released in May 2020. Figures was written by M.Hollander and Véronique Vincent, and produced by Hollander. It features the band's current line-up of Marc Hollander, Véronique Vincent, Faustine Hollander, Lucien Fraipont and Erik Heestermans, with contributions by guests such as Fred Frith, Tuxedomoon's Steven Brown, and several members of Aquaserge.

Released towards the end of 2021, Redrawn Figures 1 and Redrawn Figures 1 are two vinyl albums containing reworks and cover versions of songs from the Figures album, created by a series of artists including The Notwist, Carl Stone, Cate Le Bon, Tolouse Low Trax, Vanishing Twin, Felix Kubin, Hello Skinny aka Tom Skinner and several more. The albums also include four self-reworks by Aksak Maboul.

Aksak Maboul's fifth album released in March 2023. Entitled Une Aventure de VV (Songspiel), it's a 63-minute, continuous suite of fifteen pieces, which is described as an "experimental audio play".

User:Caerwine/Tangled Web (Xiaolin Showdown)

Tangled Web is episode 103 of Xiaolin Showdown. It first aired in the United States on January 1, 2003.

Blurb as could have been used to advertise the episode.

Synopsis
On a very tall mountain, Kimiko and Jack are racing to the top to get the newest Shen-Gong-Wu: Monkey Staff. Jack is using the Jet Bootsu, a device that is able to defy gravity when worn, to help him get to the top first. Kimiko, on the other hand, is just climbing using herself, and tries to knock Jack down using the Fist of Tebigong. It doesn't work, and Jack reaches the Monkey Staff first, having him win the Xiaolin Showdown.

Later, Omi and the others are riding Dojo, who is in the form of a Viking-type boat this time. Kimiko is very angry that she didn't get the Monkey Staff, and the others say that it's because she's a girl. She keeps getting criticism from all sides, but is interrupted by Dojo who says that he has found a new Shen-Gong-Wu: the Tangled Web Comb. He reports that it's right in the water where they are, and Kimiko decides that she wants to get it. She dives in and successfully obtains it. Back at the Xiaolin Temple, she tries to use her newly found Shen-Gong-Wu, but immediately learns that she is unable to control it. Instead of having it wrap around her target, it wraps around her and she is furious by this. Master Fung tells her that she needs incredible focus to master the Tangle Web Comb. Kimiko is assisted by Master Fung in helping her focus and to drown out everything around her.

Meanwhile, Jack has in his possession the Monkey Staff, and he learns that the more time he holds onto it, the more he will have the qualities and abilities a monkey has. Then, enters a young woman who wants to join sides with Jack. Unlike Jack, Wuya is impressed with the girl's initiative. A little later, Wuya starts to sense the next Shen-Gong-Wu: the Golden Tiger Claws. She tells Jack that is very important that they get this Shen-Gong-Wu because it is able to transport the person who has it anywhere they please. She explains this will be an advantage for them in obtaining Shen-Gong-Wu in the future, too.

At the same time, Dojo takes Omi and the others to an embassy that he says contains the Golden Tiger Claws. Dojo says they can't get in unless they have connections with the embassy. Kimiko calls her father, and he tells her she needs to disguise herself and the others like they were members. After getting past the guard, Kimiko stumbles upon a trap door that leads down into a gigantic underground. In it, is the Golden Tiger Claws! Jack runs into them and sends the Jack-bots to stop them. Omi and his friends easily take all of them out using their elements. Jack gets to the Golden Tiger Claws, but at the same time Kimiko is holding onto it, also. Xiaolin Showdown!

Their showdown is to race across an unsteady bridge that is gradually falling apart to where the Golden Tiger Claws are located. Jack goes off to a running start, but Kimiko can barely run or walk because she's still in the costume that is both heavy and uncomfortable to her. She tries to use the Tangled Web Comb to trap Jack in, but it fails and traps herself again instead. Jack thinks he has this Shen-Gong-Wu in the bag, and takes his time to getting across. Kimiko thinks back to what Master Fung said to her, and she does her best to drown out everything around her, causing the web to unravel. She has control now of the Tangled Web Comb! The Golden Tiger Claws falls off the bridge, and Jack jumps in after it. Kimiko uses the Tangled Web Comb, and she ravels it onto a part of the bridge, making her swing down to grab the Golden Tiger Claws. Jack falls all the way down, as he screams in defeat. Kimiko claims both the Monkey Staff and the Golden Tiger Claws!

Later, back at Jack's evil underground lair... Wuya is very upset that they lost yet another Xiaolin Showdown. The same young woman appears, dressed in a black leather suit, meowing like a cat. After stopping all the Jack-bots, she reveals that her name is Katnappé. Wuya is, once again, very impressed by all of this, and she recruits Katnappe to help her and Jack reclaim all the Shen-Gong-Wu.

Shen Gong Wu
Jet Bootsu:The Jet Bootsu are boots that allow the wearer to defy gravity and lets them walk on walls and it also allows you hover for short heights.

Monkey Staff:The Monkey Staff is a staff that turns the user into a being with a similar appearance, agility and balance to a monkey. If it is used too long, then the user will believe that he is an actual monkey, and his human memories will be erased until the staff is taken away.It was found on top of a tall pillar.

Tangle Web Comb:The Tangle Web Comb is a comb that shoots out strings from the teeth and binds the target. It is a Shen Gong Wu that requires absolute focus, or else the strings will bind the holder.It was found in a bottom of a Loch in Scotland (Loch Lomond)

Golden Tiger Claws:The Golden Tiger Claws are a single golden claw that can teleport the user to anywhere they want to go in the world, with exact precision. The Golden Tiger Claws are my favourite Shen Gong Wu.It was found Under the Emperor's Palace

Communist University of the Toilers of the East

The Communist University of the Toilers of the East (Коммунистический университет трудящихся Востока, KUTV; also known as the Far East University) was a revolutionary training school for important communist political leaders. The school operated under the umbrella of the Communist International and was in existence from 1921 until the late 1930s. Part of the university was split into the Moscow Sun Yat-sen University.

History
The Communist University of the Toilers of the East (KUTV) was established in 1921 in Moscow by the Communist International (Comintern) as a technical college for communist cadres from the Soviet periphery, though it also matriculated students from the Arab world, Africa, and East and South Asia. The school officially opened on 21 October 1921. It performed a similar function to the International Lenin School, which mainly accepted students from Europe and the Americas. It was headed in its initial years by Grigory Broydo, later First Secretary of the Communist Party of Tajikistan. The curriculum included both theoretical and practical matters, including Marxist theory, party organization and propaganda, law and administration, theory and tactics of proletarian revolution, problems of socialist construction, and trade union organization.

From summer 1922, the KUTV had regional branches in Baku (in Azerbaijan), Irkutsk (in Siberia, Russia), and Tashkent (in Uzbekistan). The University published Revolutionary East (Революционный Восток, Revoliutsionnyi Vostok). Amongst those who taught there were Ho Chi Minh, Anatoly Lunacharsky, Leonid Krasin, Mikhail Pokrovsky, Khalid Bakdash, Igor Reisner, and Boris Shumyatsky.

In 1928, the Japanese Foreign Ministry estimated that some 1,000 foreign students studied at KUTV, and that the 400 Chinese students comprised the largest group, followed by 350 ethnic minorities within the Soviet Union, and between 30 and 40 Japanese. The Soviet Union solicited working-class Japanese to study at the KUTV without the Japanese government's consent. The Japanese students studied under Sadaki Takahashi and Keizo Yamamoto, along with several Russian instructors. The Japanese students studied economics, the history of world revolution, Leninism, philosophy, labor union theory, and Japanese studies. Kyuichi Tokuda, a member of the Japanese Communist Party, was instrumental in recruiting and sending these Japanese workers to KUTV via Shanghai and Vladivostok.

The KUTV published a journal entitled Revolutsionnyi vostok (Russian: Revolutionary East) between 1927 and 1938.

The University was closed in the late 1930s. A report from the University of Virginia notes: "KUTV came to an end during the Great Terror of 1937-38, together with many Comintern institutions and cadres. A sizeable proportion of its faculty and Moscow-based alumni was arrested and even executed, dealing a major blow to Soviet expertise."

Notable alumni
