Falling in line with most contemporary militaries across the globe, the Yugoslav's People Army (JNA) quickly inspired a competition for a primary wheeled combat vehicle capable of rapidly transporting combat personnel as well as offering some form of fire support. Hence, the M-88PNV (or ICV [Infantry Carrier Vehicle] in English) was introduced with a record R&D time lasting under seven months from start to en masse production. Many have rightly speculated that this short development time is due to the fact that design is more or less an import from Ukraine; in other words, the M-88 is almost entirely analogous to the Ukrainian KMDB BMPK-12. This theory works well considering the JNA refers the M-88 by the name Haidamaka, a term referring to a band of Ukrainian paramilitants that had a nasty habit of harassing and rebelling against Polish nobility.
At any rate, the M-88 comes into two forms principally: the standard ICV and then the IFV variant. The ICV naturally is naturally less armed and armored than the IFV variant given it is merely meant to taxi troops from A to B; however, the IFV features the 40mm chain gun turret found on other JNA vehicles and has slat and steel plate applique in order to sustain a fair amount of damage whilst remaining operable.

Buddy Knox (From Wikipedia – see Wikipedia for more, including track & albums listings)
Buddy Wayne Knox (July 20, 1933 – February 14, 1999) was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his 1957 rock hit song, "Party Doll".
Biography
Knox was born in the tiny farming community of Happy, Texas, United States, and learned to play the guitar in his youth. In his teens, he and some high-school friends formed a band called the "Rhythm Orchids". After they performed on the same 1956 radio show as fellow Texan Roy Orbison and his "Teen Kings" band, Orbison suggested that Knox go to record producer Norman Petty, who had a recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico, the same studio where Buddy Holly recorded several of his early hits, including "That'll Be the Day".
Knox's song "Party Doll" was released on the Roulette record label, and went to number one on the Cash Box record chart in 1957 (after being picked from the tiny Triple-D label). It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. This success was followed by "Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep", a number-17 hit, and "Hula Love", a number-9 hit.
While he never achieved the same level of artistic success as Holly or Orbison, Knox outlived both and enjoyed a long career in music. For his pioneering contribution, Knox was elected to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. "Party Doll" was voted one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In the early 1960s, Knox signed with Liberty Records and released several more mainstream pop records, featuring string arrangements and backing vocalists. "Lovey Dovey" and "Ling-Ting-Tong" were the most notable recordings from this era.
The sound captured on these recordings was a distinct departure from his earlier rockabilly work for Roulette.
Liberty and principal record producer Snuff Garrett successfully employed the same production techniques for their other mainstream pop artists of the time, which included Johnny Burnette and Bobby Vee.
In 1968, Knox, who had been living in semiretirement in Macon, Georgia, while running his publishing company, moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and signed a new recording contract with United Artists Records. Working with producer Bob Montgomery (songwriter), Knox honed his traditional rockabilly style more toward the modern country sound of the day.
His first album on United Artists earned him the nickname by which he would be known for the remainder of his life. The title song of the album, Gypsy Man, written by Sonny Curtis and featuring Curtis' acoustic guitar work, received airplay on country music radio stations.
Several singles recorded by Knox between 1968 and 1974 were notable for his experimenting with a variety of sounds and styles, and from a creative and critical standpoint, may have been his most productive era.
His version of Delaney Bramlett's "God Knows I Love You", along with his self-penned "Salt Lake City", placed Knox firmly in the midst of the new pop-music genre, being populated by artists such as Delaney & Bonnie, Eric Clapton, and others who were on the leading edge of the developing Southern rock style such as Black Oak Arkansas and the Allman Brothers Band.
His cover version of James Hendricks' "Glory Train" was another stylistic stretch and featured a gospel-like chorus of backing vocalists. His cover of the Fleetwoods' "Come Softly to Me" demonstrated a vocal range not heard on his older recordings. He also reached out to the new generation of songwriters who would become prominent during Nashville's "Outlaw era" of the 1970s, as he was one of the first artists to record Mickey Newbury's "I'm Only Rockin'".
Several other major country music artists later recorded this song, but under the alternate title of "T. Total Tommy". Knox also recorded songs by Alex Harvey, John D. Loudermilk, and Gary Paxton. On several of these recordings, Knox experimented with multitracking, something few artists had done up to that time.
For many decades from the 1970s to the 1990s, Knox was based in the small town of Dominion City, Manitoba, Canada and toured primarily in Western Canada and upper Midwest U.S. with occasional European appearances. In 1981, he starred in an independent Canadian movie Sweet Country Road.
He said the fame took a toll on his family life. Traveling 250 days a year for 35 years, he was voted "the most traveling entertainer in the world" by Billboard magazine, but he said it cost three marriages for him.
In 1992, he divorced and moved to British Columbia, where he was involved in several business ventures including a partnership in a local British Columbia nightclub.
His son, Michael Knox, is a record producer.
Death
Moving to Port Orchard, Washington, in 1997 to be with his fiancée, he experienced a fall and injured his hip. The doctor informed him at that time that he had terminal lung cancer. Knox scheduled a farewell show, but died just a few weeks later on February 14, 1999, in Bremerton, Washington. He is interred in Dreamland Cemetery, in Canyon, Texas.

WOLLONGONG, colloquially referred to as The Gong, is a city located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. The name is believed to originate from the Dharawal language, meaning either 'five islands/clouds', 'ground near water' or 'sound of the sea'. Wollongong lies on the narrow coastal strip between the Illawarra Escarpment and the Pacific Ocean, 85 kilometres (53 miles) south of central Sydney. Wollongong had an estimated urban population of 302,739 at June 2018, making it the third-largest city in New South Wales after Sydney and Newcastle and the tenth-largest city in Australia by population.
In 1849 when the stamps were issued, 96 post offices existed. Each of them was assigned a number based on the pattern of roads going out of Sydney. Apparently new numbers were still allocated up to about 1904. Some numbers also were re-located to other towns as time passed. Sydney itself used cancels without any number. The numeral cancels were first issued with horizontal bars (barred cancel), later numeral cancels with rays were introduced. From many of the later issued numbers, it is not clear to which town they actually belonged. The following numbers correspond to the towns: (only a few are listed here).

Linda Jones
Linda Jones (December 14, 1944 – March 14, 1972)[1] was an American soul singer with a strong gospel-influenced style
Biography[edit]
Jones was born in Newark, New Jersey. She started singing in her family's gospel group, the Jones Singers at the age of six. Her first recording was "Lonely Teardrops" under the name of Linda Lane on Cub Records in 1963. She was found performing at a local club by songwriter Jerry Harris who introduced her to producer George Kerr. After unsuccessful singles on Atco Records in 1964 and Blue Cat Records the following year, Kerr took her to Warner Bros. Records' R&B subsidiary, Loma Records in 1967. The first Loma release proved to be her biggest success, the ballad, "Hypnotized" reached #4 on the Billboard R&B chart and #21 on the Hot 100. This proved to be the label's best-selling record and it was followed by two further hits, including "What've I Done (To Make You Mad)" (#8 R&B, #61 pop), and an album.
After Loma closed in late 1968, Linda had a final single on the main Warner label before joining Neptune Records, run by Philadelphia producers, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Two singles, both produced by Kerr, saw some R&B success before she signed for All Platinum subsidiary, Turbo Records, in New Jersey in 1971. A powerful revamped version of the former Jerry Butler hit, "For Your Precious Love" reached both the R&B (#15) and pop (#74) charts in 1972 and saw her career take off again. Reviewing her 1972 album Your Precious Love in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: "Jones isn't too long on artistry—she likes to dispense with formality and just start at the climax throwing her emotions and her high notes all over material like 'Dancing in the Street' and 'I Can't Make it Alone.' Pretty amazing, in its way, and definitely recommended to people who always get out of their cars to look at waterfalls and strange rock formations."[2]
Shortly after the end of her national tour supporting the album, Jones died at her mother's home at the age of 27 while resting between matinee and evening shows at New York City's Apollo Theater in Harlem. She had been a diabetic for most of her life and slipped into a coma (or more likely, insulin shock) while sleeping.[3]
All Platinum put out three albums of previously issued and unreleased material after Linda's death and in 2008, her daughter, Terry Jones, along with Helen Bruner, produced an album featuring her mother's vocals. One of the tracks, "Baby I Know" was nominated for a Grammy award at the end of 2008.

Biography
Blackwell was born in Brooklyn, New York.[citation needed] He learned to play the piano as a child and grew up listening to both R&B and country music.[citation needed]
His first success was winning a local talent contest ("Amateur Night") at the Apollo Theater, in Harlem, in 1952.[2] This led to a recording contract with RCA and then with Jay-Dee. His first release was his own composition "Daddy Rolling Stone",[3] which became a favorite in Jamaica, where it was recorded by Derek Martin.[4] The song later became part of the Who's mod repertoire.[4] Enjoying some early recording and performing success, he found his first love was songwriting and by 1955 had settled into the groove that he would ride for decades.[5] His first successes as a songwriter came in 1956, when Little Willie John's R&B hit with the sultry "Fever" was an even bigger pop success for Peggy Lee, and "Don't Be Cruel" began a highly profitable association with Elvis Presley.[4]
Blackwell was one of the leading African-American figures of early rock and roll, although he was not well known by the public. His own records never cracked the Top 40, yet he wrote million-selling songs for Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dee Clark and others. He also recruited other songwriters to write for Presley, such as Winfield Scott.[6]
In the liner notes of Elvis' Golden Records (1958), Anne Fulchino, of RCA, wrote,
While sipping coffee, Steve Sholes pulled out a demonstration record of 'Don't Be Cruel' and told Elvis it was a new song written by Otis Blackwell, whom Elvis had long admired as a rhythm and blues artist. It took just a few bars to convince Presley that it was a perfect song for him, and he decided to cut it right away. Presley learned the song within minutes—he had an inherent musical sense—and in short order a great master was put on tape. It isn't often that the title of a song will create a whole new expression in Americana. 'All Shook Up' did exactly that. Youngsters and adults alike have made the phrase a common part of everyday usage. The background to the song itself is a rather interesting one. Since the huge success of 'Don't Be Cruel', Elvis had been anxious to record another song from the pen of Otis Blackwell. Eventually, Blackwell came around with 'All Shook Up' (first recorded by David Hill on Aladdin). Presley wasn't completely satisfied with the song, and with Blackwell's consent re-wrote part of the lyrics. Thus, as co-writer as well as artist, Presley produced his ninth consecutive gold record, his first in the year 1957.
During an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, Blackwell said he never met Presley in person. When he was having a contract dispute with his publishing company, he also wrote under the white-sounding pen name John Davenport.[2] Blackwell composed more than a thousand songs, garnering worldwide sales of close to 200 million records.[7] Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, asked Blackwell to appear in the Presley movie Girls! Girls! Girls!, for which he had written "Return to Sender", but a superstition about meeting Presley kept him from accepting.[8]
In 1956, Blackwell gave "Don't Be Cruel" to friend Frankie Valli's group, the Four Lovers, but as they were recording it he asked to take it back and in turn gave it to the up-and-coming Presley. In exchange for this song he gave them "You're the Apple of My Eye", which became a chart hit for the Four Lovers (Billboard number 64). The song was performed on Ed Sullivan's television show that same year and was probably instrumental in at least shaping events for the group to eventually becoming the Four Seasons. A shortened version of "You're the Apple of My Eye" is also featured in the Broadway show "Jersey Boys".
As the tide of rock and roll receded, Blackwell recorded R&B songs for numerous labels, including Atlantic, MGM and Epic. In later years he was in semi-retirement, making only occasional live appearances.[4]
In the 1980s, Blackwell toured and recorded with the Smithereens as his backing band for both live shows and studio recordings. The partnership produced two self-funded albums, "Let's Talk About Us" and "From the Beginning," which were released independently on Blackwell's ROC-CO imprint.[citation needed]
In 1991, Blackwell was paralyzed by a stroke. Three years later, Shanachie released the album Brace Yourself! A Tribute to Otis Blackwell, containing 15 songs written by Blackwell and recorded by the likes of Kris Kristofferson ("All Shook Up"), Blondie's Debbie Harry ("Don't Be Cruel"), the Smithereens ("Let's Talk About Us"), Graham Parker ("Paralyzed"), and Ronnie Spector ("Brace Yourself").[9]
Blackwell died of a heart attack in 2002, in Nashville, Tennessee, and was interred in Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in that city.[10]
Awards and recognitions
Otis Blackwell was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1986 and in 1991 into the National Academy of Popular Music's Songwriters Hall of Fame.[2] Blackwell's crowning moment came in the late 1980s when the Black Rock Coalition, a prominent organization of black rock musicians, led by Vernon Reid, the lead guitarist of the band, Living Colour, held a tribute for him at the Prospect Park Bandshell in his native Brooklyn. Many prominent musicians and singers took part including Blackwell himself, who performed an assortment of his best songs, including "One Broken Heart for Sale," "Back Trail," "Don't Be Cruel" and "Daddy Rolling Stone."[citation needed]
Blackwell was named one of the 2010 recipients of Ahmet Ertegun Award in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[11] This category encompasses those who primarily work behind the scenes in the music industry.[citation needed]
Legacy
Blackwell was one of the greatest R&B songwriters of all time.[12] His songwriting style is as uniquely identifiable as that of Leiber and Stoller, Chuck Berry, or Willie Dixon and helped redefine popular music in America in the 1950s.[7] This is true even though he often collaborated with such partners as Winfield Scott, Eddie Cooley, and Jack Hammer. Blackwell was one of the most important innovators who helped invent the musical vocabulary of rock and roll at its very beginning.[1] His works have been recorded by a host of major artists, including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, James Brown, the Who, Johnny Thunders, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, the Judds, Carl Perkins and Peggy Lee, among numerous others.

I have recently inherited some train registers.
This one is of particular interest as it covers a period about four months before the final closure of Birmingham Snow Hill station.
I have chosen the pages for Thursday 21st / Friday 22nd October 1971 to scan, as the entries were made by Bill Bradbury and Ted Breakwell, two railwaymen who I later worked with.
There are no entries in the 'Rear Section' columns on the Down page, nor 'Advance Section' columns on the Up page as the station was a terminus by then, 'up' trains from the Handsworth direction returning as 'down' trains to Wolverhampton or Langley Green.
Bill has entered times in the 'Is Line Clear' and 'Train out of Section' columns, as was custom and practice, whereas Ted has entered times in the 'Description Sent' and 'Description Received' columns, this was technically correct as the 'Method of Working' was 'Track Circuit Block' and there was no requirement to 'Accept' trains or send 'Train out of Section'.
3-1 in the 'Description of Train' column is the bell signal for an 'Ordinary Passenger Train' and 2-2-1 is for 'Empty Coaching Stock'. Ted has suffixed these bell signals with 'W' or 'L', for Wolverhampton or Langley Green, these origin/destination descriptions were transmitted on Tyer's 'Clockwork' train describers at the same time as the train's class was rung out on the single stroke bell.
The 'Line' column on each page records 'R' for Relief Line (arrival on the up or departure on the down) and the numbers 3 or 4 for the platform used.

BIOGRAPHY
Almira Virginia Brown (nee Rudd) was born 8 August 1839 in Washington
DC's 6th Ward. She was one of the the first woman to work at the Washington Navy
Yard and was employed at the yard for over fifty years. Her mother
Elizabeth Lewis Rudd was widowed early and left with three young daughters of
whom Almira (AKA Elmira) was the eldest. On 20 April 1858, at Christ Church
Washington DC, she married Francis C. Brown, age 22, a painter and
plasterer and a native of Pennsylvania. Francis and Almira continued to
live in the 6th Ward. Francis Brown went to work for the Washington Navy Yard on 15 March 1861 and was killed in a tragic explosion in the
Yard's Ordnance Laboratory on 27 July 1861. Francis had been assigned to work in one of the most dangerous assignments in the 19th century
Washington Navy Yard the "Rocket House." Here naval rockets and ordnance were armed. The arming process of placing gun powder and fuse together
was fraught with peril; an errant spark or light could ignite stockpiles of rockets and ordnance. On at least three separate occasions, namely, 7 September 1841, 27 July 1861, and 21 October 1881, there were premature explosions of gun shells and rockets which resulted in fatalities. In
each instance and investigation was conducted afterward.
Navy Yard Commandant John A. Dahlgren later described the 27 July 1861 explosion that killed Francis Brown and another workman as follows:
An accidental explosion in the Rocket House of the Laboratory on Saturday
last by which two of the workmen killed and the building much destroyed.
I
recommend that immediate provision be made to replace the building by
several others of smaller size, so that several operators shall be
separated as much as possible.
I also recommend that provision be made for the wives and children of those killed.
Respectfully
As
her husband Francis Brown was a civilian, no pension was available under the civil
service regulations of the 19th century for his widow. Despite a plea,
by then Commandant John Dahlgren that she be granted a pension, due the
tragic service related death of her husband, her claim for a pension was
denied as Francis Brown was "not in the (naval) service" and there were
no legal provision to pension a spouse of former civilian workers.
To
sustain herself and her two children, a daughter, Mary E. Brown born 21
October 1859 and son William H. Brown born 15 February 1862 she was
given employment as a seamstress the Yard in March 1864. According to
the early yard payroll records, she was the first woman to work at the
Washington Navy Yard. Mrs. Brown primary task was to sew powder bags for
naval ships and she also made flags and ship pendants. After the death
of her husband Francis, Almira Brown remained a widow and never
remarried. Working the Yard she was able to buy a small house and to
provide for her children.
In 1920, Almira Brown was 81 years of
age. She had worked continuously at the Navy Yard since 1864. For over
50 years of those years she had continually sewed heavy canvass material
using an industrial sewing machine where she had made thousands of
canvass powder bags, flags and awnings for surface ships. In 1907 in a
move to promote greater efficiency, the Navy Department, tried
unsuccessfully to release Brown and about fifty other women who worked
as seamstresses, by moving their work to another government arsenal. The
yard seamstresses directly petitioned then President Theodore Roosevelt
who reversed the decision and Brown managed to stay on (Washington
Post, 11 January 1907, 4).
By 1920 she had become a fixture of
the yard, she was one of the few employees on the yard payroll who had
worked there in the civil war, she loved her job and even in her eighth
decade and despite her poor health, she petitioned the Department of
Navy that she desired to stay on working at the Yard. Her request to
remain on the rolls however was denied due to the passage of the new
Civil Service System of 1920. This new law which went into effect that
year meant for the first time government employees were able to retire
but the law also had a mandatory retirement age (70yrs). In her
retirement she lived with her daughter and son in law and her seven
grandchildren. Brown died 26 February 1926 at age 86. She is buried at
Congressional Cemetery next to her husband Francis (Congressional
Cemetery Records R-86/184.

www.discogs.com/Mozart-S%C3%BCddeutscher-Madrigalchor-Con.... Gramophone Review:
Although recorded as long ago as 1966 (in Stuttgart), this performance of Mozart's Requiem has not been issued before in this country. In the days of 78s it would have qualified for a 'plumlabel' issue, as a perfectly decent but not particularly distinguished interpretation. GOnnenwein emphasizes the devotional aspect of the work, which works well enough in movements such as "Tuba mirum", "Recordare", "Hostias" and "Benedictus", but less so in movements like "Dies irae", "Rex tremendae majestatis" and "Domine Jesu Christe", where one is distinctly conscious of a lack of intensity and drama, and this is not helped by the rather distant quality of the recording itself. The solo team is a capable one, the most distinguished member of which is perhaps Peter Schreier, and this fact gives extra point to the comparison with the recent Philips issue in which Schreier conducts what is possibly the most eloquent and moving account of the Requiem in the traditional edition completed by Sassmayr that has yet been recorded.

Those apprentices had good taste! The Soul Agents were from Southampton and recorded R&B singles for Pye. The local support (Diplomats) is incorrect as they had split a few months earlier. It may have been the Rampant operating as the Diplomats (??)

hard-working president of the Fremantle
Amateur Cycling Club. Mr.
Brickhill first took an interest in
cycling when the Fremantle Junior.
Amateur Club was sponsored by Mr.
Howard Baldwin, of Swansea Cycles.
Two years ago (1931), when the senior club
was formed, Mr. Brickhill was unanimously
elected president. He is the

5 Oct 1933 R. Brickhill set the times of 13 min. 8 secs, as a junior 5 mile unpaced standing start track record when on Saturday morning, against troublesome winds he set out to establish figures for the journey. Brickhill, who rode an 84 inch gear is only 16 years of age, and his time compares favorably with the senior professional record of 12.33 3-5, considering the conditions under which he rode.
9 Feb 1935 FELL FROM CYCLE. While training for bicycle races at Richmond Park, Fremantle, today, Ray Brickhill (17), of 8 Irwin street, East Fremantle, fell when his machine struck a piece of wood lying on the track.

Long before Sam Kinison was the bad boy of comedy, he was in the family trade: his father was a minister, and his brothers were in a travelling evangelical show. He himself became an ordained minister as an adult. His older brother Bill and sister-in-law Sherry put out this album, and Sam played guitar, bass, and drums on it. I've never played it so I couldn't tell you if he did any backing vocals. Doesn't he look kinda like Danny Bonaduce? Years later, Bill became Sam's manager and biggest fan.
You are missed, Brother Sam.
