During her time on Stanley street, Denise built up strong friendships with Cat MacKenzie, Chrissy Costello, Eileen Callan and Cheryl Barker. The five of them formed a pub darts team.

St Columba’s Church, Long Tower

Jump to: navigation, search


Long Tower Church, August 2009

St Columba’s Church Long Tower is a Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Derry. It is located in the heart of the city of Derry in Northern Ireland.

The present church is built on the site of Roman Catholic worship which goes back as far as the 12th century. The current Long Tower Church began life in 1783 in a much smaller scale than seen today. Father John Lynch, a parish priest in Derry started action to raise funds for building the Long Tower Church and he received finance not just from Roman Catholics but also Protestant people in Derry at the time. The church was opened in 1788.

Refurbishments of the Church

The church was extended and refurbished in 1810 with the introduction of gallery seating, nave and the changing of the Altar to the northern side of the church. The High Altar was constructed with marble and supported by four pillars. The four pillars were first made of wood put proved to be not strong enough to hold the large and heavy marble altar and so the pillars were changed to be made out of marble. The layout of the church from 1810 onwards has remained largely unaltered. However in 1908 a full refurbishment of the Long Tower took place which included addition of new stained glass windows, statues, shrines, baptismal font and the reposition of the High Altar and the introduction of a new sacristy.

The church’s refurbishment was completed in 1909 and the church was then officially opened to the general public.

The Long Tower Today

Many parishioners in Derry City feel that the Long Tower is the home of Catholicism in Derry. Even though the construction of St Eugene’s Cathedral in 1873 as the mother church of the diocese didn’t differ people’s feelings for the Long Tower. The beautiful interior which could match any church in Rome has remained unaltered to this very day.

When Vatican II changes in liturgy occurred in 1962/1964 the Long Tower priests and parishioners did not want to change the layout too much. In 1964 a temporary wooden altar was constructed and installed in the sanctuary to accommodate mass being said facing the people. In 1979 the wooden altar was taken out and a new marble altar along with a new marble lectern and celebrants ambo were installed. The installation was minor to ensure the remainder of the church stayed. When other churches at this time were removing altar rails, High Altars, confessional boxes etc, the Long Tower did not. Even to this day the church has still retained the old traditional confessional boxes.

Today the church is home to a parish population of nearly 8,000. The church overlooks the Catholic Bogside of Derry which has seen many instances of violence (Bloody Sunday of 1972), but this church ensures that people find peace and quiet there no matter what is going on outside the church grounds. The parish today is served by two priests — Father Roland Colhoun Adm and Father Gerard Mongan cc.

St Columba’s Church Centenary Celebrations

The church will be celebrating its centenary on St Columba’s Day 9th June 2009. The current church was opened in 1909 and to celebrate 100 years of the present building the parish clergy has set aside the 9th day of each month from 9th June 2008 until 9th June 2009 to finish many renovations and repairs to the church. Since June 2008, the church has had a memorial installed dedicated to a former Bishop of Derry Raymond O’Gallagher who was martyred in 1601 in Claudy, County Londonderry, water fonts in the balcony area of the church repaired, the old water font next to Our Lady’s grotto repaired, the tablets on the church floor which gives visitors information of where the High Altars where originally placed repaired, renovation of statues and the unveiling of the renovated tomb of former Bishop of Derry John Keys O’Doherty.

Starting on Monday 17th November 2008, the three grand panels of the High Altar in the Long Tower Church, which depict Christ ascending into heaven flanked on either side by Saint Peter and Saint Paul, were taken down and transported to Belfast for urgent repair and renovation. The panels are made of lead and a recent expert survey concluded that they were dangerous and were in urgent need of repair. The panels were installed in the Long Tower Church in 1909 and for the past 100 years have not had any renovation work carried out on them. The repair work could not be done on site in Derry and had to be taken to Belfast. The work is expected to be finished for Spring 2009. In the meantime, photo replicas of the backdrop have been taken and have been put in place so not to take from the aesthetics of the church. The project will cost the parish around £20,000 and has been many months in planning.

In February 2009 the newly renovated Opus Sectile were re-installed in the church. There were officially unveiled in a special mass held in the Long Tower at 10.00am on Monday 9th March 2009. The Long Tower news letter gave more details on the work carried out.

“On Monday morning there will be a formal unveiling of the restored opus sectile in Long Tower. These are the three grand panels behind the high altar – the Ascension of Christ flanked by St Peter and St Paul. Opus sectile (pronounced “seck-teel-ay”) is the Latin name for a series of opalescent painted glass “tiles”, first used by the ancient Romans on luxury floors. Usually these glass sections are set in grout and there are many such examples around the inner walls of Long Tower. However what is distinct about the panels above the tabernacle is that they are set in lead. The experts say this is extremely rare and sets these particular panels apart as remarkable works of art.

The repair was extremely specialised work and has been done in studios in Belfast. It involved putting supplementary metal bars and additional wire ties into the three frames. Since lead is a high expansion material the restoration required re-gauging the glass and the lead to give the material space for expansion”.

A special mass to commemorate the centenary was celebrated at 7.30pm on Tuesday 9th June 2009 with the Papal Legate Cardinal Keith O’Brien attending. This mass was celebrated on the feast day of Saint Columba. The church’s anniversary occurred on Saturday 30th May 2009. At 8.00am a special Latin Rite Mass was celebrated in the church exactly the same mass as was said on the first day the church was opened to the public in 1909. After the evening mass on Tuesday 9th June 2009 the annual blessing of Saint Columba’s well occurred, which is located a short distance from the church in the Bogside. The following day before 10.00am mass, Cardinal O’Brien planted an oak tree in the graveyard next to the Long Tower as a symbol of the renovation of the graveyard for the centenary.

The whole centenary celebrations of the 9th/10th June 2009 where filmed for DVD. The dvd of the celebrations which included the full mass celebrated by Cardinal O’Brien and the blessing of St Columba’s Well, was available for sale via contacting the Long Tower parochial house. The dvd was a culmination of the past year’s events to celebrate the centenary.

It was announced on 23rd August 2009 that the current Long Tower parochial house would now become the home of the Gray Friars who are setting up a community in Derry. They have chosen the Long Tower Parochial House for their residence. This means the parish priests and staff will move their parochial house to the Convent of Mercy in Pump Street, which is located within the city walls of Derry. The sisters who had resided in the convent for 161 years have moved out to new residence and so the Long Tower will use this new city centre location as their new parochial house. Details of the move were published in the parish’s Sunday bulletin on 23rd August 2009.

The parish has also got a new website as of (1st September 2009) with a wealth of information about the church and the parish. The website address is www.longtowerchurch.org

Second-level domains

Registrants are required to register domains at the third level under an existing second-level domain (SLD). There are eight second-level domains:

  • ac.zm: Academic institutions
  • co.zm: Commercial entities
  • com.zm: Commercial entities
  • edu.zm: Academic institutions
  • gov.zm: Government
  • net.zm: Networks
  • org.zm: Non-commercial organizations
  • sch.zm: Schools

The designations above are assumed based on observed practices and standard conventions, as ZAMNET (the ccTLD registry) do not maintain online documentation codifying this. Most entities will generally register either a .co.zm or .org.zm domain, if they choose to use the ccTLD rather than a generic top-level domain.

The one documented exception to the requirement to register at the third level is that “registered ISPs” may register at the second level—e.g., zamnet.zm. However, there are several undocumented variances to this rule—e.g., the Bank of Zambia’s domain is boz.zm.

Registrars

The .com.zm, .edu.zm and .net.zm SLDs are administered by CopperNET Solutions, while all other .zm domains are registered through ZAMNET.

The Boy Friend (sometimes mis-spelled The Boyfriend) is a musical by Sandy Wilson. The musical’s original 1954 London production ran for 2,078 performances, making it briefly the third-longest running musical in West End or Broadway history (after Chu Chin Chow and Oklahoma!) until it was surpassed by Salad Days. This musical marked Julie Andrews’ American stage debut.

Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring 1920s, The Boy Friend is a comic pastiche of 1920s shows (in particular early Rodgers and Hart). The title is an obvious parody of The Girl Friend. Its relatively small cast and low cost of production makes it a continuing popular choice for amateur and student groups.

Sandy Wilson wrote a sequel to the The Boy Friend. Set ten years later, and, appropriately, a pastiche of 1930s musicals (in particular those of Cole Porter) it was titled Divorce Me, Darling! and ran for 91 performances at London’s Globe Theatre in 1965. It is sometimes revived as a “double bill” with The Boy Friend.

Productions

London

The musical was first performed in London in 1953. It opened at the Players’ Theatre Club on 14 April 1953, and reopened in an expanded version on 13 October. It transferred for a short season to the Embassy Theatre, Swiss Cottage and then opened at Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End on 14 January 1954. The light, tuneful piece proved immensely popular with the British public and ran for more than five years, a total of 2,082 performances.

The principal role of Polly Browne was to have been played by Diana Maddox, who fell sick on the afternoon of the final dress rehearsal. Anne Rogers (at that point playing a minor role) volunteered to take over, having learnt the role on her own. The show opened the following evening and made an overnight star of Rogers, who stayed with the production through its expanded versions to the triumphant West End first night at Wyndham’s.

In 1995, on its 40th anniversary, the musical returned to The Players’ Theatre in London in a new production that was as near a reproduction of the original as possible. It was directed by Maria Charles, who played the original Dulcie. The choreography was by Geoffrey Webb who was also in the original production. It was originally planned that the choreography would be done by Larry Drew, the original Bobby van Husen, but he died suddenly during the early planning stages of the production. Set design was by Disley Jones who was responsible for the hat designs in the original production. Among the cast were Gemma Page, Oliver Hickey, Sophie Louise Dann and John Rutland (in his original role as Lord Brockhurst). Following its success at the Players’ it went on a nationwide tour and was very successful.

A production played in 2006 at the Open Air Theatre at Regent’s Park, London. This also proved to be a highly acclaimed production, and was revived during the Open Air Theatre’s 2007 season.

Broadway

The Boy Friend opened on Broadway at the Royale Theatre on September 30, 1954 and closed on November 26, 1955 after 485 performances. Starring was newcomer Julie Andrews in her Broadway debut as Polly, with a cast including John Hewer, Geoffrey Hibbert, Dilys Laye, Bob Scheerer, Stella Claire, Ann Wakefield, Millicent Martin and Moyna MacGill. Some of them had connections with The Players’ Theatre in London, but only Wakefield had actually appeared in the show’s London production (in the very first run at the Players’). For the Broadway opening, veteran orchestrator Ted Royal and jazzman Charles L. Cooke contributed period authenticity to the 1920 arrangements.

In her Broadway debut Andrews received the Theatre World Award. She was “discovered” by My Fair Lady producers during her appearance in this play, prompting her casting in the lead in that production, catapulting her to fame on Broadway (and beyond) in the following years.

A revival opened on Broadway at the Ambassador Theatre on April 14, 1970, and ran for 111 performances. Starring were Judy Carne as Polly, Sandy Duncan as Maisie and Ronald Young as Tony. Duncan received the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Performance as well as a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

Regional revival and North American tour

In 2003, Julie Andrews made her directorial debut with a production of The Boy Friend at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, NY, starring Meredith Patterson as Polly Browne and Sean Palmer as Tony Brockhurst.

This production was presented at the Goodspeed Opera House, running from July 2005 through September 24 2005, where Sean Palmer returned as Tony and Jessica Grové took over the role of Polly after Meredith Patterson was unable to do the role due to scheduling conflicts with her new role in Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. Costume and scenic design were by Tony Walton, with choreography by John DeLuca. The show was performed in two acts, instead of three, and the song “Safety in Numbers” was moved from the scene on the beach to the Carnival Ball. The production then toured the United States and Canada, playing 11 cities, including Chicago, Boston, Orange County, and Toronto, from October 2005 through March 2006. The touring cast included Bethe Austin as Hortense, Paul Carlin as Percival, Andrea Chamberlain as Maisie, Drew Eshelman as Lord Brockhurst, Rick Faugno as Bobby Van Husen, Nancy Hess as Madame Dubonnet, Darcy Pulliam as Lady Brockhurst, Scott Barnhardt as Alphonse, Andrew Briedis as Pierre, Jordan Cable as Marcel, Margot de La Barre as Nancy, Pamela Otterson as Monica, Krysta Rodriguez as Fay, Eric Daniel Santagata as Phillipe, Tom Souhrada as Garcon, and Kirsten Wyatt as Dulcie.

Plot

In the Villa Caprice, or Madame Dubonnet’s School for Young Ladies, Maisie and the girls live with the maid, Hortense, and Mme. Dubonnet. Hortense orders a costume for “a Miss Polly Browne” and Maisie and the other girls (Dulcie, Nancy, and Fay) sing the ironic “Perfect Young Ladies” with Hortense. Polly arrives and tells everyone about her made-up boy friend who is “motoring down from Paris” to meet her for the upcoming carnival ball, and sings about “The Boy Friend”. Later, Bobby surprises Maisie and they dance to “Won’t You Charleston With Me?”

Polly’s widowed father, Percy, then arrives at the school to discover that the headmistress is an old flame of his. They sing “Fancy Forgetting” to rekindle the spark. Polly, though a millionaire’s daughter, feels left out because she is the only one of her set who does not have a boyfriend, and she needs a partner for the fancy dress ball. However, when the errand boy, Tony, arrives to deliver her Pierrette costume, they are immediately attracted to each other, and sing “I Could Be Happy With You.” Later, they meet at the beach (after the chorus number “Sur La Plage”) and sing about “A Room in Bloomsbury.” They then kiss and decide to meet at the ball. The comically flirtatious Lord Brockhurst arrives on the scene, leading to a comical meeting with the rigidly mannered Percival Browne. Lord Brockhurst’s domineering wife Lady Brockhurst is also introduced. Percival Browne and Dubonnet then sing “The ‘You-Don’t-Want-To-Play-With-Me’ Blues”.

When Polly goes to meet Tony on the promenade, Lord and Lady Brockhurst, who are passing by, recognize him. When he runs off, everyone else assumes that he is a thief. The act ends on a sad note.

At the ball, Bobby and the three boys propose to Maisie and the three girls, but the girls reply in unison that “we’ll let you know at midnight” and everyone dances to “The Riviera”. Lord Brockhurst sings “It’s Never Too Late To Fall In Love” with the flirty Dulcie, and is caught out by Lady Brockhurst. Polly confides in Mme. Dubonnet, and they sing “Poor Little Pierrette”. Tony later arrives at the ball and takes Polly by surprise. He asks “May I have this dance, Pierrette?” to which Polly replies, “I’m afraid I can’t dance with a stranger”. He then kisses her to remind her. Polly discovers that Tony is really the son of Lord and Lady Brockhurst, who had left home to try to make his own way in the world. Percy and Mme. Dubonnet announce that they are getting married. The clock strikes midnight, and the girls unanimously say yes to the boys’ proposals. The last scene has everyone dancing as soon as Bobby, with the last spoken line in the play, asks “So how about that Charleston?” The show ends with a reprise of “The Boy Friend” and “I Could Be Happy With You.”

Ken Russell’s 1971 film version of the show, starring Twiggy and Christopher Gable, was an alternative interpretation, weaving the basic plot into a more complicated story in which a seaside dramatic company, performing the show, is visited by a film producer (Vladek Sheybal) on the very night that the leading lady (Glenda Jackson) has to be replaced by her shy understudy Polly Browne (Twiggy). It also contained references to numerous other Busby Berkeley and MGM movie musicals of the 1930s. The National Board of Review voted Ken Russell best director, and Twiggy won two Golden Globe awards as best newcomer and best actress (musical/comedy), but the film did not make a significant impact on the American box-office. It has not yet been released to DVD.

Wilson’s original score was freely adapted and augmented by Peter Maxwell Davies for the film. Davies subsequently prepared (and recorded) a concert suite based on the music.

There is a well known continuity error at the end of the film. The closing scene was filmed beside the real stage door of the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth. This is located in a narrow side street marked off with yellow “No Waiting” lines. For the filming, these lines were very badly painted over with black paint leaving easily recognisable marks on the road.

Role Spaceplane
Manufacturer Mikoyan-Gurevich

Status Cancelled
Primary user Soviet Air Force

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-105 “Spiral” was a Soviet project to create an orbital spaceplane. It was originally conceived in response to the American X-20 Dyna-Soar military space project and may have been influenced by contemporary manned lifting body research being conducted by NASA’s Flight Research Center in California. It was nicknamed “Lapot” Russian: ??????, or bast shoe (the word is also used as a slang for “shoe”) for the shape of its nose.

The program was also known as EPOS (Russian acronym for Experimental Passenger Orbital Aircraft). Work on this project finally began in 1965, two years after Dyna-Soar’s cancellation. The project was halted in 1969, to be briefly resurrected in 1974 in response to the US Space Shuttle Program. The vehicle made its first subsonic free-flight test in 1976, taking off under its own power from an old dirt strip near Moscow. It was flown by pilot A. G. Festovets to the Zhukovskii flight test center, a distance of 19 miles. Flight tests, totaling eight in all, continued sporadically until 1978. It was finally cancelled outright, having never flown in space, when the decision was made to instead proceed with the Buran project. The Spiral vehicle itself still exists and is currently on display at the Monino Air Force Museum in Russia.

Gleb Lozino-Lozinskiy was the leader of the Spiral development programme.

Differences between Dyna-Soar and Spiral

Although having basically the same mission, Dyna-Soar and Spiral were radically different vehicles. For example:

  • While the X-20 Dyna-Soar was designed for launch atop a conventional expendable rocket such as the Titan III-C or Saturn I, Soviet engineers opted for a midair launch scheme for Spiral. Known as “50 / 50″, the idea was that the spaceplane and a liquid fuel booster stage would be launched at high altitude from the back of a large, airbreathing mothership travelling at hypersonic speeds. The idea was similar to that used by the United States in launching the D-21 Tagboard reconnaissance drone from the back of the A-12 Oxcart. The mothership was to have been built by the Tupolev Design Bureau (OKB-156) and utilize many of the same technologies developed for the Tu-144 ‘Charger’ supersonic transport (The Soviet equivalent of the Concorde) and the Sukhoi T-4 mach-3 bomber (somewhat similar to the XB-70 Valkyrie). It never made it off the drawing boards. The U.S. purportedly flew a similar design in the 1990s under the secret Blackstar project.
  • Dyna-Soar was designed with a fixed, delta-wing planform, while Spiral featured an innovative variable-geometry wing. During launch and reentry, these were folded against the sides of the vehicle at a 60-degree angle, acting as vertical stabilizers. After dropping to subsonic speeds post-reenty, the pilot activated a set of electric actuators which lowered the wings into the horizontal position, giving the spaceplane better flight characteristics.
  • Spiral was built to allow for a powered landing and go-around maneuver in case of a missed landing approach. An air intake for a single Koliesov turbojet was mounted beneath the central vertical stabilizer. This was protected during launch and reentry by an electric clamshell door, which would open at subsonic speeds. By comparison, Dyna-Soar was designed primarily for a once-off, unpowered deadstick landing, although some documentation claims that its emergency solid-fuel escape rocket (the third stage engine from an LGM-30 Minuteman ICBM) could be used for a go-around maneuver if necessary.
  • Spiral was designed as a lifting body, while Dyna-Soar was designed more like a conventional aircraft.
  • High temperature superalloy metals such as columbium, molybdenum, tungsten and rene 41 were to have been used in the heatshield structure of the X-20. Spiral was to have been protected by what Soviet engineers termed “scale-plate armour”: individual steel plates hung from articulated ceramic bearings to allow for thermal expansion during reentry. Several BOR (Russian acronym for Unpiloted Orbital Rocketplane) craft were built and launched to test this concept.
  • In the event of a booster explosion or in-flight emergency, the insulated crew compartment of Spiral was designed to separate from the rest of the vehicle and parachute to earth like a conventional ballistic capsule; this could occur at any point in the flight. Such an escape crew capsule was also considered for Dyna-Soar, but American engineers eventually opted for a solid-fuel escape rocket that would kick the spaceplane away from an exploding booster, saving both pilot and spacecraft.
  • Much like today’s Space Shuttle, Dyna-Soar was designed with a small payload bay behind the pressurized crew module. This could be used for lofting small satellites, carrying surveillance equipment, weapons or even an extra crewmember in a pop-in cockpit. Spiral, on the other hand, appears to have been intended to carry only its pilot. Presumably, this was because the extra space which could have held a payload bay was needed for the Koliesov turbojet and its fuel tanks.
  • Both Dyna-Soar and Spiral were designed to land on skids. The landing skids on Dyna-Soar were designed to deploy from insulated doors on the underside of the vehicle, like a conventional aircraft. Soviet engineers, most likely concerned about heatshield integrity, designed the landing skids on Spiral to deploy from a set of doors on the sides of the fuselage just above and ahead of the wings. This unusual arrangement resulted in a hard landing on at least one occasion.

Pilots

A cosmonaut training group for pilots assigned to fly this vehicle was formed in the early 1960s. It went through many changes and was eventually dissolved entirely. Known members included:

  • Gherman Titov, the Soviet Union’s second man in space (see Vostok 2 mission).
  • A.G. Fastovets, who piloted the vehicle during the majority of its atmospheric tests.

Uragan

Although Spiral itself never made it to the launch pad, it is rumoured that the design was reused and enlarged to build a piloted space interceptor known as “Uragan” (Russian for “Hurricane”) in the 1980s. This craft was to have been launched by a Ukrainian-built Zenit expendable booster and was intended to intercept and destroy (if necessary) military Space Shuttle missions launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Its armament purportedly consisted of space-to-space missiles.

It is not known how many times the vehicle flew into space, if any. It is known that two Soviet Air Force cosmonaut groups, consisting of six in the first group and at least three in the second, were selected and trained to pilot the vehicle. The possibility that the shuttles could now be intercepted and shot down caused quite a stir in the US Department of Defense at the time, which issued several artists’ conceptions showing the vehicle on the pad, in space, etc.

After the fatal Space Shuttle Challenger disaster prompted NASA and the DoD to cancel all planned launches from Vandenberg, it is said that the Soviet Union had no further need for the craft and, in turn, cancelled the Uragan program.

To this day, Russian officials continue to deny that this craft ever existed, leading some to believe that the purported space interceptor was all part of a successful Soviet disinformation program meant to scare the American military into thinking twice about its plans for the Space Shuttle.

The current whereabouts of any completed Uragan craft or components, if they exist, are unknown.

BOR

Another spacecraft to use the Spiral design was the BOR series, unmanned subscale reentry test vehicles analogous to the American X-23 PRIME and ASSET. Several of these craft have been preserved in aerospace museums around the world.

Table of prophets of Abrahamic religions

Table of prophets of Abrahamic religions

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a table containing prophets of the modern Abrahamic religions.

NOTE: In Judaism the classification of some people as prophets includes those who are not explicitly called so in the Hebrew Bible. Judaism also uses religious texts other than the Hebrew Bible to define prophets. Moreover, Orthodox rabbis use different criteria for classifying someone as a prophet, e.g. Enoch is not considered a prophet in Judaism. The New Testament may call someone a prophet even though they are not so classified in the Hebrew Bible; for example, Abel, Daniel, Enoch, and John the Baptist are described in the New Testament as prophets.
