83. Backcountry At Licola And Surrounds Crosscountry skiing guide to the Licola area, Victoria, Australia. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~freeheelers/licola.htm

Cross-country skiing guide to the Licola area Access Not far from Licola are some of the best and least known cross-country ski areas in Victoria. Either the Jamieson Road towards Mt Skene, or the Tamboritha Road can easily access snowfields in the most popular areas for skiers, especially adjacent to the Tamboritha-Mt Howitt Road. WARNING: These roads are not maintained during the winter, there are no facilities beyond Licola, so special care must be taken. Chains are essential for cars and four-wheel drives. You should also carry a shovel and a towrope. Driving in snow requires special skills, so be familiar with these before you go. Always let someone know where you are going. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. Gate closures on the Snowy Range Road The seasonal closure is located about 2km this side of the Snowy Plains airstrip. During times of heavy snow cover, the road is closed near the gorge. At these times, motorists should not drive past the gorge car park. Lost Plain and Mt Arbuckle Lost Plain itself is an excellent area for snowplay and skiing for beginners.

85. Mick Mannock Acquired a reputation as one of the most talented pilots in the RFC. Became flight commander of 74 Squadron and then commander of 85 Squadron. Shot down 58 planes. Awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously when his plane crashed behind German lines. (18871918) http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWmannock.htm

Mick Mannock Spartacus USA History British History Second World War ... Email Edward 'Mick' Mannock , the son of Edward and Julia Mannock, was born at Preston Barracks, Brighton on 24th May 1887. Edward Mannock was a corporal in the Royal Scots regiment and the family was constantly on the move. As a child Mick lived in England, Scotland, Ireland and India. While in India, Mick picked up an infection and went blind. Eventually Mick recovered his sight but for the rest of his life he had difficulty seeing out of his left eye. After Edward Mannock returned from the Boer War he deserted his wife and four children. Mick, who had suffered from his father's drunken rages, later revealed that he was pleased when he heard that his father had left the family home. However, the family were now very poor and Mick had to abandon his schooling at the earliest opportunity in order to bring in some much needed money. After a series of menial jobs, Mick found work as a telephone engineer. Mick became interested in politics and as a young man became a committed socialist. Jim Eyles, a close friend later said that: "Mick told everyone he met that every man should prepare himself for the new age. The downtrodden of the world were about to get their chance at last; it was a duty for men to make the best of this opportunity for which the up-and-coming leaders of the new ideas had suffered so much." Mick spoke at political meetings and Jim Eyes later remarked how surprised he was that this young man "who had been dragged up in the most awful squalor, could match wits with these high-born and well-educated classes."

93. Victoria Like Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, Victoria could express a mystical eroticism with great fervor. The ideal vehicle for this expression was the http://andrewmarr.homestead.com/files/music/victoria.htm

by Andrew Marr, OSB It is hard not to associate the religious passion of Victoria's music with the dark clouds and elongated figures of El Greco's paintings or with the mystical flames lighting of the scorching pages of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. With Victoria and the other great Spanish composers of this period such as Francisco Guerrero and Cristobal Morales, we have a distinctively different flavor of the Renaissance polyphonic style from that of Palestrina. With Victoria, there is nothing of the troubled probing of future Romantic composers, but neither does his music often maintain the untroubled serenity of the Roman master. Even when Victoria's musical lines have all the suppleness of untrammeled flames, there is a coiled intensity to them. They burn rather than float. Where Palestrina weaves a stable tapestry out of his polyphony, Victoria's tapestry is too dynamic to stay in place, although the counterpoint is equally disciplined with both composers. Perhaps it is a distant effect of the Spaniards' recent conquest of their own lands and re-establishment of their faith, but Victoria's music does not seem to take faith for granted. Rather than resting in faith, the music maintains faith by constant vigilance. The inner flame must be perpetually renewed. The opening of the Requiem is a powerful example of this quality. The lower voices provide a background for the trebles' entrance. This line ebbs and flows with the tension I have been describing so that grief and fear of death are both expressed and yet both are consumed by the inner flame that drives this music. This opening line functions as a recurring head motif throughout the work and assures that an easy resolution will be in sight but not be reached.

96. The Victoria Cross (in India, 1912-47) Until 1912, the Victoria Cross could not be awarded to Indian members of the After the Partition of India 1947 awards of the Victoria Cross ceased and http://faculty.winthrop.edu/haynese/india/medals/VC/IndVC.html

The Victoria Cross (in India) Until 1912, the Victoria Cross could not be awarded to Indian members of the Indian Army and was restricted for award only to Europeans (and occasional "Anglo-Indians") in the Indian Army and, with few exceptions, to Europeans in general. While this fact should not diminish the bravery of the 95 (or is it 101?) English officers who won the award for services with Indian Army Regiments before that date. (There is considerable confusion over the numbver of VCs awarded to H.E.I.C./Indian Army officers before 1912 and numbers range from 95 to 101; this is linked to the inevitable confusion of the fairly common practice of "attached" or "seconded" service.) For Indian soldiers, who were not allowed the VC, theolder Indian Order of Merit was the award "of choice" to reward bravery before 1912 when (1837-1911) 42 first class IOMs were alwards (one with a special bar), 130 second class, and 2740 third class. The Royal Warrant of 21 October 1911 (published in the London Gazette of 12 November 1911, p. 9369, but not publically announced in India until the coronantion durbar in Delhi the following month) destroyed the "color bar" for Victoria Cross awards in the Indian Army and allowed Indians to receive this decoration. Accordingly, the first class of the Indian Order of Merit was terminated by Army Order No. 757 of 3 August 1912 (w.e.f. 12 December 1911) and the remaining classes were renumbered.

Victoria Cross Updated - Sunday, 23 February, 2003 The Victoria Cross was - and remains to the present day - the highest British military award for gallantry, awarded for "most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour, self sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy". Established during Queen Victoria's reign in February 1856 some 633 Victoria Crosses (known as the V.C.) were awarded during the First World War. Two of these comprised Bars - that is, an award of a second Victoria Cross to a current holder: to Arthur Martin-Leake in 1914 and Noel Chavasse in 1917 respectively. Of these Chavasse earned both V.C.s during the First World War, although the second was posthumously awarded. Of the 633 V.C.s awarded during the First World War 187 were issued posthumously to men killed during their act of heroism. Prior to the outbreak of war in 1914 522 V.C.s had been awarded; by contrast just 182 were issued during the Second World War. There are two instances of the Victoria Cross being awarded to father and son (although never during the same conflict). No woman has ever been awarded the V.C.
