Bruce Springsteen in 1981
Bruce Springsteen in 1981

Darkness on the Edge of Town is the fourth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on June 2, 1978, by Columbia Records. The album was recorded during sessions in New York City with the E Street Band from June 1977 to March 1978, after a series of legal disputes between Springsteen and his former manager Mike Appel. Darkness musically strips the Wall of Sound production of its predecessor, Born to Run, for a rawer hard rock sound emphasizing the band as a whole. The lyrics focus on ill-fortuned characters who fight back against overwhelming odds. Released three years after Born to Run, Darkness did not sell as well as its predecessor but reached number five in the U.S. Critics initially praised the album's music and performances but were divided on the lyrical content. In recent decades, Darkness has attracted acclaim as one of Springsteen's best works and has appeared on lists of the greatest albums of all time. (Full article...)

Bispira volutacornis

Bispira volutacornis, sometimes known as the twin fan worm or spiral fan worm, is a type of tube worm found in the shallow sublittoral zone of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It grows in crevices and in stony areas and prefers areas rich in sediment but with low levels of illumination. Bispira volutacornis has a parchment-like tube with a mucoid outer layer which is often coated with mud or silt. The tube is usually concealed in a crevice and the worm can retract into the tube when disturbed. It feeds on plankton which it captures with its plumes. It also uses the plumes to gather sediment with which to expand the tube. This B. volutavornis individual was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal.

As I can't edit the page directly, I'll suggest it here:

Although I've just spotted that the article on the ship says on "on the night of 28 July" and does not specify a time, and July Crisis say 1 a.m. on 29th, so perhaps it belongs with the next day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.81 (talk) 07:39, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have added it to the 29th. —howcheng {chat} 21:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
