18041339 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iony%20Island | Iony Island | Iony Island (), or Jonas' Island, formerly Ostrov Svyatogo Iony (Saint Jonas' Island), is a small island in the Sea of Okhotsk.
Geography
Iony Island is the only island in the Sea of Okhotsk that is located in the open sea. All other islands in the Okhotsk Sea are either coastal or belong to the Kuril island chain. It is in length, wide, and rises to a height of . The island is barren and conical in shape with sheer cliffs rising to heights of . Several rocks lie off the island, including a group of four high rocks about to the north-northwest and several detached rocks to the south. The island is often enveloped in dense fog due to cold bottom water upwelling to the surface. The flood tidal current off the island sets west, while the ebb sets to the east or east-southeast. These currents may reach up to 1.5 to 2 knots during spring tides and create numerous eddies, small whirlpools, and tide rips around the island for some distance offshore.
Administratively, Iony belongs to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation.
History
As early as 1849 whaleships had reached Jonas Island. Between 1852 and 1866 the island's waters were a common hunting ground for ships cruising for bowhead whales — Captain Moses Snell, of the ship Pacific, of Fairhaven, reported seeing as many as forty-five other ships from his masthead just to the south of the island early in June 1855. The fleet would usually reach the area by late May or early June, spending a few weeks cruising for whales before sailing to the south and west, following the retreating ice. Some would go ashore to take advantage of the bounty of seabirds and pinnipeds residing on the island's rocky shores. On 3 June 1855 the ship Edgar, of Cold Spring, was wrecked on the island during a fog. All hands were saved. The ship then caught or was set on fire. Ships sent boats ashore to salvage what they could of the reported 1,200 to 1,600 bbls of oil that had been aboard the ship, while others picked up whatever they found drifting offshore.
Schooners hunted fur seals on the island between 1889 and 1896. At least 2,250 were caught, with a peak of 879 by four schooners in 1890.
Fauna
The island is a breeding ground for the Steller sea lion. In the spring and summer, a number of seabirds nest on the island, including northern fulmar, several species of auklet (whiskered, least, and crested), horned and tufted puffin, common and thick-billed murre, Leach's and fork-tailed storm petrel, kittiwake, gulls, and cormorants.

18041419 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chthamalus | Chthamalus | Chthamalus (χθαμαλός, "flat" or "on the ground") is a genus of barnacles that is found along almost all non-boreal coasts of the northern hemisphere, as well as many regions in the southern hemisphere. These small barnacles have been studied in part because of the taxonomic confusion over a group of species that, by and large, are morphologically and ecologically quite similar. In recent years, molecular techniques have identified a number of cryptic species that have been subsequently confirmed by taxonomists using morphological measurements. Most recently the genus has been shown to be paraphyletic, with the genus Microeuraphia nested within Chthamalus.
Field Identification
Identification of barnacles in the field can be challenging, and identification of particular species of Chthamalus is not considered reliable in the field other than a few species. However, a notable distinction in the arrangement of wall plates can help biologists distinguish Chthamalid barnacles from the other common barnacles in the family Balanidae. In chthamalid barnacles, the side plates overlap both the rostrum and the carina (the plates at the ends of the opercular opening), while in balanids one end plate (the rostrum) overlaps the adjoining side plates (rostrolaterals).

The following species are included in the genus Chthamalus:
Chthamalus angustitergum Pilsbry, 1916

18041444 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do%20Ab%2C%20Bamiyan | Do Ab, Bamiyan | Do Ab (also spelt Do Abe and Do ab-E Mikh-E Zarrin) is a village in Bamiyan Province in central Afghanistan. It is located in a pass in a mountainous region North East of Barmiyan town on the Ghandak highway 10 km from the border with Baghlan Province. It has a bazaar, a coal weigh station built in 2007 and a police check point. Do Abe is the centre of a coal mining industry that employed manual methods to extract coal from shafts in sacks. Coal seams visible on the surface are followed deep underground. The shaft roof is unsupported so accidents are common. From 2009/10 a contract was to be let to a Chinese coal mining group to extract the coal using mechanized equipment. Prior to the establishment of the weigh station coal smuggling across the border into Baghan province was rife.
Kiwi 5 patrol of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team spent time in Do Abe in 2008 training the ANP in order to stop coal smuggling. This area is subject to attacks by roadside bombs.
It was near Do Ab, close to the Ish Pesta ANP check point that a New Zealand soldier was later killed in a roadside bomb blast. After the IED exploded the 3 vehicles were attacked by RPGs and automatic gun fire. This led to a combined NZ/US attack on the Taliban group responsible that resulted in 13 terrorists being killed.
Baghak Attack
In August 2012 2 New Zealand soldiers were killed at Do Abe by automatic gunfire and RPG. The NZ soldiers had been called to give assistance to the ANP who were attempting to arrest a known Taliban bomb maker. The force was attacked by a second group of between 12 and 17 Taliban who shot and wounded the NZ commander, an ex SAS soldier. One of the kiwi soldiers was killed while going to rescue his wounded commander. He was Lance Corporal Malone, the great-grandson of Lt Colonel William Malone, who was killed at the battle of Chunuk Bar, Gallipoli, Turkey, leading the New Zealand forces in 1915. The other, Lance Corporal Pralli Durrer, an LAV commander, was hit by small arms fire in the head. He was standing out of the turret, attempting to deal with an ammunition fire caused by insurgent activity at the time. 2 ANP soldiers were also killed and 4 wounded. One civilian was wounded. On Anzac day 2013, it was announced by Lt General Jones of the NZ Army, that following an investigation, it was found that 2 of the wounded had been hit by shell fragments fired from a New Zealand Forces LAV 25mm cannon that was supporting the infantry. The gunner was found not to be at fault as he was firing danger close to the troops in their support following normal military procedures. In the 12minute gun battle the bomb maker escaped but one Taliban insurgent was captured. The Taliban force was seen escaping back to Baghan province to the North East. As well as 2 KIA the kiwis suffered 6 wounded in the gun battle. The NZ soldiers were unable to follow the escaping insurgents as they do not have authority to manoeuvre in Baghan province which is under the military control of the Hungarian PRT. The following day the NZ army was given authority to manoeuvre in Baghan province and reinforcements were flown to Bamiyan. In previous counter insurgency operations into Baghan Province the force has mainly comprised NZ SAS and US special forces. The two New Zealand soldiers were buried with full military honours at a ceremony in Christchurch New Zealand.
Valley Attack with IED
On 19 August 2012 a four Humvee Kiwi convoy was attacked with a 20 kg roadside bomb about 3 km west of the forward operating base at Do Abe. The convoy had picked up a sick soldier from the FOB and was returning to Romero Base. Three soldiers were killed by a bomb which Lt General Jones described as very large, probably a pressure plate or remote command wire bomb. The soldiers were Corporal Tamatea, Lance Corporal Jacinda Baker and Private Richard Harris. All of the soldiers were experienced. Female soldiers make up about 15% of each kiwi PRT team. Most serve as driver/medics. One of the early PRT rotations was commanded by a female officer. The bomb completely destroyed the last vehicle in the convoy. This western area is so rugged that Humvees are preferred as they can manoeuvre off-road better than LAVs. The valley where the attack occurred is very narrow and overlooked by steep, rock-covered mountain sides. Taliban insurgents fired down from near the top of the mountains. The New Zealand soldiers replied with automatic small arms fire and turret mounted 25mm cannon fire from the Humvees. In New Zealand General Jones said it was not a remotely exploded wireless bomb as the convoy was equipped with anti electronic pulsing equipment which disrupts wireless bomb control signals. The vehicle destroyed was an armoured Humvee. Kiwi soldiers patrol the road which goes to the capital Kabul at irregular periods. The Bamiyan ANP commander said that insurgents had been increasingly active on the highway in the last month, stopping people going to and from the capital. Recently five people associated with the government were taken at illegal check points and beheaded.
General Jones said the NZ SAS would be sent into the Do Abe mountain area to gather intelligence.
The New Zealand PRT team which is the 20th rotation, is scheduled for final withdrawal about April 2013.
At the military funeral of the 3 soldiers in Christchurch, attended by the Prime Minister John Key, the officer wounded in the first August attack spoke about the soldiers and added that the same infantry unit were ready and able to reinforce the PRT team at any time if directed.
A Taliban spokesperson said that during the winter Bamiyan province had been infiltrated by a number of different groups who all had separate targets. He called for the New Zealand PRT team to leave Baniyan immediately. He claimed the Taliban would now target New Zealand soldiers.
The Bamiyan provincial governor said the local forces are not well enough armed to fight the Taliban by themselves and called for heavier weapons.
Radio New Zealand reported NZ Prime Minister John Key as saying that last week 4 New Zealand SAS intelligence officers had flown to Bamiyan to gather information to make a case for a counter insurgency operation by US special forces against insurgents responsible for recent attacks in the area.
Afghan and Coalition counter insurgency forces in Afghanistan arrested three Taliban near Do Ab in an early morning helicopter raid on the village of Taleh bah Wafer, Baglan province, yesterday. One is described as a local third tier Taliban leader, connected with gun dealing. During the raid one Taliban insurgent was killed. The prime minister of New Zealand said no New Zealand troops took part in the raid. The Taliban leader is said to be behind the attack that killed two kiwi soldiers in August. Special forces are still hunting a known bomb maker in the same area. The Prime minister announced that a new New Zealand army company, plus forty disestablishment specialists, will go to Afghanistan shortly. They will be the last large unit of the New Zealand army sent to Afghanistan before the handover of security in Bamyan to local security forces in 2013. The new company will extend the range of patrols into Baglan province which formerly had been the exclusive manoeuvre zone of Hungarian coalition forces.
A Baglan-based Taliban warlord, Abdullah Kulta, who was responsible for planting the roadside bomb that killed the 3 kiwis soldiers on 19 August 2012, has been killed in an airstrike by coalition forces, acting on intelligence gathered by the New Zealand SAS, the New Zealand Prime Minister announced. The Taliban leader had been crossing the border to operate in Bamyan province. Kulta (also spelt Kalta) was also involved in the attack on NZ forces which resulted in the death of Corporal Malone

18041515 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%20McEncroe | Frank McEncroe | Francis Gerard McEncroe (11 October 1908 – 14 March 1979) was an Australian publican, caterer, dairy farmer and food manufacturer. He is known for his invention of the Australian fast food phenomenon that became known as the Chiko Roll.
Early life and career
McEncroe was born at Castlemaine, Victoria on 11 October 1908, the second son of Victoria-born parents Pierce Francis McEncroe, a wheelwright, and his wife Sarah Ann, née Desmond. Frank attended a local primary and acquired his secondary education at Marist Brothers College, Bendigo, where he obtained his certificate of merit. He then completed an apprenticeship as a boilermaker at Thompson's foundry, Castlemaine, where he worked for a time.
During the Great Depression, McEncroe joined his father and two brothers on a dairy farm at Bendigo. In the late 1930s he ran an outdoor catering business, selling pies, pasties and other types of takeaway food at race meetings, country shows and similar gatherings. During World War II he was the licensee at the Court House Hotel in Pall Mall, Bendigo, while also holding a boilermaker's position at the Bendigo Ordnance Factory. Following the war McEncroe resumed his outdoor catering business, which he now ran from his family's former dairy farm, gaining experience in the processing, packaging and snap-freezing of takeaway foods.
Invention of the Chiko Roll
In 1950, inspired by Chinese chop suey rolls he saw being sold outside the Richmond Football Ground, McEncroe decided to try to develop a similar product of his own, one which he reportedly envisaged could be eaten with one hand while holding a beer in the other at a football match or other venue. The result was a product which was much larger and heavier than a conventional Chinese roll, but with somewhat similar ingredients and flavour. The roll was composed of "a mixture of cabbage, barley, carrots, celery, condiments and meat (beef or mutton) wrapped in an egg-batter dough". McEncroe initially prosaically named it the "Chicken Roll", but since it actually contained no chicken, he later reconsidered and dubbed it, simply, the "Chiko Roll". He launched his new product at the Wagga Wagga Show in 1951.
Later that year, McEncroe moved to Melbourne with his family and began producing Chiko Rolls with the help of a sausage machine from the back of a fish-shop in Moreland Road, Coburg. As sales began to pick up, he set up a larger plant in a Essendon North factory, where he began to progressively modernise the machinery and improve packaging, freezing and distribution facilities. A mutually beneficial relationship with a local firm, Floyd's iceworks, resulted in the amalgamation of the two companies in 1960 to form Frozen Food Industries Pty Ltd. The new company went public in 1963.
Formula for success
Ingredients for the Chiko Roll were diced and extruded into a long tube of pastry which was then cooked as it made its way along the production line, after which the rolls were deep-fried and then snap-frozen prior to distribution. As a pre-cooked product, the rolls only required a rapid deep-fry at the place of purchase to reheat them. The convenience of selling and eating the rolls under all kinds of conditions, along with their novel savoury flavour, made them a highly popular alternative in an era when the fast food industry was rapidly expanding, and the Chiko Roll became a staple product of the ubiquitous Australian fish-and-chip shop as well as other takeaway food outlets for many years. By the late 1970s, 40 million Chiko Rolls were being sold Australia-wide each year, and more were exported to Japan.
With the increasing diversity of fast food outlets over the last two decades, Chiko Rolls have gradually declined in popularity in Australia, but they can still be purchased in fish and chip shops, or as a frozen convenience food for home use from supermarket shelves. The Chiko Roll brand today is owned by Simplot Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of the J. R. Simplot Company, a private food and agribusiness company based in Boise, Idaho.
Personal life
McEncroe married Anne Doreen Nolan at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo on 20 August 1932. He was fond of fishing and shooting as a young man, and later enjoyed playing golf at Medway Golf Club, Melbourne, and Tweed Heads Golf Club, New South Wales. He died of ischaemic heart disease on 14 March 1979, and was buried at Keilor cemetery, Melbourne, survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
