Reynaldo Rivera (born 1964) is a photographer known for capturing historic queer, transgender, predominantly LatinX scenes, such as clubs and house parties, in late 20th-century Los Angeles. Some of the clubs he photographed at included La Plaza, the Silverlake Lounge, Mugy’s, and Little Joy. Rivera’s black and white photographs are known for their intimate documentation of and focus on the everyday life and private moments of LatinX transgender women, artists, and drag performers at the time. Rivera cites this as a type of activism since gentrifiction and a lack of public records of these individuals, many of whom died young due to violence, have led to the marginalization and erasure of these communities and cultures. In this way, Rivera is known for bringing visibility to queer, LatinX Angeleno history. Early life and career Reynaldo Rivera was born in 1964 in Mexicali. Although his birthplace was Mexicali, he proceeded to move between many places in the United States and Mexico growing up. He now resides permanently in East Los Angeles, the site of the queer history he documents through his photos. Rivera's mother and father, both born in Mexico, met in Stockton. After his parents separated, Rivera oscillated between living with his mother and his father. He navigated his childhood through various places, including Stockton, Pasadena, Mexicali, and Santa Ana, with his sister, Herminia. Although most of Rivera's time was spent with his mother in Glendale, there were times when his father would take Rivera to reside with him. Starting at the age of five, Rivera lived with his grandmother, who was abusive, for four consecutive years after being kidnapped by his father. Thereafter, Rivera's father would often bring him from Glendale to the San Jaoquin Valley, where Rivera was exposed to his father's illegal activities. Rivera also had some run-ins with the law, such as when he was faced with charges in the sixth grade for selling drugs. Rivera cites photography as a way for him to find stability. His first camera was a Pentax K1000. His photography began by photographing hotel cleaners. Rivera credits the employee at the film development spot he used for explaining the mechanics of his camera to him after his initial pictures were coming out blank. During his early pursuit of photography, he did not have enough money to afford all the film he needed, which he credits with necessitating his development of editing skills. His first piece was a 1983 selection aimed at bringing life to the site in Mexico City where his step-grandfather was murdered. Rivera’s first professional gig when he entered his 20s was photographing live punk and rock music, such as that performed by Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Sonic Youth. From here, he transitioned to photographing drag bars, house parties, and queer clubs, especially in East Los Angeles. such as La Plaza, during the 1980s and 1990s.

St. John's Market was a municipal retail market hall in Liverpool, England, housed in a purpose-designed building erected between 1820 and 1822 to a design by John Foster, Junior. It quickly came to be seen as a model for market halls erected elsewhere in the UK in the 19th century. The north and south facades of the building were altered in 1881 and 1891; it was demolished in 1964, making way for the 1969 St Johns Shopping Centre, the western half of which occupies the hall's site. Background Urban population increases in 18th and 19th century England and Wales due to industrialisation gave impetus to changes in the ownership and provision of physical market places for the sale of foodstuffs and other products in towns and cities. More than 300 Acts of Parliament were passed between 1801 and 1880 allowing nascent local governments to acquire market rights from their manorial holders, and to fund the construction of market facilities. From about 1800, market halls emerged as the 'perfect form' of the market place, and town followed town in bringing their markets indoors into roofed buildings supplying amenities such as water, lighting and heating. St. John's Market, an early design on a grand scale, came to be taken as a model for other locations, including Birmingham Market Hall. Market rights in Liverpool derived from a 1207 charter granted by King John; although long held by the Molyneux family, they were leased to Liverpool Corporation in 1672 for a period of 1000 years, and in 1773 transferred in perpetuity to the corporation. In the early 19th century prior to the new St John's Market, Liverpool's retail market was a street market centred on an open area around St. George's Church (closed 1897, the site now houses the Victoria Monument) at the south end of Castle Street; but, as Liverpool's population and thus demand grew, increasingly spilling out into adjacent roads and becoming a serious annoyance and obstruction to all business not immediately connected with it. Characteristic of a street market, it provided little protection against inclement weather, which became a subject of very general complaint. The Corporation of Liverpool determined to remedy the observed problems by removing the market to a new location, protected from the weather and providing no obstruction to public thoroughfares. The town, expanding eastwards from the Mersey, the Corporation chose as the site for the proposed hall a former ropewalk a third of a mile (600 metres) east of the existing market in an area named for St. John's Church (demolished 1898), on the west side of Great Charlotte Street and having Elliot Street to the south, Market Street to the west, and Roe Street to the north. The structure was commenced in August 1820 and completed in February, 1822, to a design by John Foster, Junior, architect to the corporation, at a cost, exclusive of the land, of about £35,000. The market was opened on Thursday, 7 March 1822. Design The ground plan of the market hall is rectangular, in length, and in breadth, enclosing an area just short of entirely covered. An 1835 reviewer commented that "this ... if not the very first, was one of the first markets in the kingdom, in which the principle of covering in the whole under one roof was attempted; at least on a scale of any considerable magnitude." The roof was constructed in five divisions, two of which were raised considerably above the others, forming a clerestory, pierced with windows providing illumination and, swinging upon their centres, allowing air to circulate. The tie beams of the lower trusses were continued across the opening of the clerestories, from side to side of the building, binding the whole together; and, at the point of their intersection with the gutter beams, were supported by five rows of cast-iron columns, 116 in all, each in height. A total of 136 windows were provided in the upper and lower tiers of the roof. The exterior was built with brick, in a plain and simple style of architecture. Piers were projected at regular intervals, round which the cornices and stringcourses break. Between these were inserted two tiers of windows, the lower semicircular, with stone architraves and imposts; the upper tier finished with segmental brick arches. The whole is raised on a stone plinth, under which, where the declivity of the ground admits of it, there is a rusticated stone basement. There were eight entrances, three on each side, and one at each end, the principal entrances faced with Italian Ionic columns on pedestals, with entablatures over, and semicircular-arched gateways. The building had a stone finial in the form of a liver bird, now in the Museum of Liverpool. It was previously displayed in BBC Radio Merseyside's entrance foyer on Hanover Street, and at Merseyside Maritime Museum from 2007 until 2009. Within the hall and around its walls were 62 shops, initially occupied by butchers, fishmongers, bread-bakers, cheesemongers, poulterers, dealers in game, &c. By taking advantage of the fall of the ground on the west side, next Market Street, the shops on that side had storerooms underneath, opening to the street. Five longitudinal avenues divided the hall - the centre one, wide - intersected by five cross avenues. The squares, or islands, formed by the intersection of these avenues were subdivided into stalls for general dealers. The hall was illuminated by 144 gas lamps and provided with a water supplies at four pumps, one of which dispensed hot water. A large clock was suspended from the roof in the centre of the hall. By 1835, plans were drawn to erect new buildings on Great Charlotte Street opposite St. John's Market, exclusively for the wholesale and retail sale of fish, which trade was to be excluded entirely from the larger market. An 1835 review of the market comments: The design was also praised by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who visited in 1826 and sketched it in his dairy. The British architectural historian Kathryn A. Morrison describes St. John's Market as "the first of the great nineteenth-century market halls ... the first in the form of a completely covered general trading hall", and notes that there is no clear precedent for the design. The interior of the market is the subject of a painting in oil, St John's Market, Liverpool by Charles Trevor Prescott, made some time between 1892 and 1899, and now in the Walker Art Gallery; and of another, St John's Market (1827) by Samuel Austin, in pencil and watercolour, now in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, having been acquired by auction at Christie's in 2001. Alterations The building was altered at least twice during its history; in 1881 a new frontage of shops was added on Roe Street, and in 1891 the Elliot Street facade was entirely rebuilt in the Renaissance style. A note in an 1894 electrical trade journal states: "Liverpool - The Markets Committee of the City Council are dissatisfied with the present lighting of St. John’s Market, and they consider that the time has arrived when the place should be electrically lighted." Operation Principal market-days were, at the outset, Wednesdays and Saturdays; but there was a considerable market every day. Market regulations were devised to provide equal protection for buyer and seller; rates of porterage were regulated, and approved carriers were badged. The hall was cleaned each evening by twelve scavengers engaged for that purpose, and two watchmen were employed to guard the property overnight. The rents charged in the market in 1831 were: Shops, £18 per annum; cellars, (of which there were 29) £5; butchers' stalls, £8; the corner ones, £10; vegetable and fruit stalls, £6; potato-compartments, £3; the corner ones, £3. 4; table-compartments, £1. 12s.; bench-compartments, 12s.; outer fish-standings, £8; the inner ones, £4. Occupiers of shops paid £2. 12s. per annum each for a gas-light. Demolition St. John's Market was demolished in 1964, making way for the 1969 St Johns Shopping Centre, the western half of which occupies the hall's site. To allow for the reconstruction, a temporary market opened in Great Charlotte Street, in February 1964.

Hobby Horsing (from hobby horse) is a sport with gymnastic elements, in which movement sequences similar to those in show jumping or dressage are partly simulated in courses, without real horses being used. Instead, the participants predominantly use self-made hobby horses. In Finland, the country of origin of the sport, an annual national championship is held in addition to regional competitions. This sport, which can be classified as a fun and trend sport, is particularly popular with girls and young women between the ages of 10 and 18 years and is gaining popularity beyond the other Scandinavian countries in other parts of Europe. While the sport may be perceived more as a childish pastime by "real riders," Fred Sundwall, secretary general of the Finnish Equestrian Federation, views it positively: "We think it's just wonderful that Hobby Horsing has become a phenomenon and so popular." "It gives kids and teenagers who don't have horses a chance to interact with them outside of stables and riding schools." Hobby Horse Most Hobby Horses are sewn by hand. They are usually made of two halves of the head, which have an opening on the lower side, and a strip in the middle and filled with stuffing wool. The stick usually has a length of about 15 cm from the opening. Many hobby horsemen still design their hobby horses in the style of equestrian sports with elements such as snaffles, breastplates, halters, ropes and fly ears.

The Gang of Four in Papua New Guinea (PNG) were four influential young public servants who played an important role in the planning and development of the country immediately after the country's independence from Australia in 1975. Origin of the name The name Gang of Four came from the Maoist political group in China, composed of four Communist Party of China officials who were prominent during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) and were later charged with treason. Its leading figure was Jiang Qing, the last wife of Mao Zedong. In Papua New Guinea In Papua New Guinea, the term began to be applied, initially in a fairly negative way, to four young public servants who headed four important government departments and played a coordinating role for policies and programmes between 1975 and the early 1980s. The name is alleged to have been coined by older Papua New Guineans, who had worked with the Australian colonial administration before independence, and resented the authority of the younger men, who had only graduated a few years before independence. The Gang of Four consisted of Charles Lepani, Mekere Morauta, Rabbie Namaliu, and Anthony Siaguru. Two went on to be prime ministers, one became a senior diplomat, and the fourth had several ministerial roles and later led the fight against corruption in the country. All received knighthoods. Charles Lepani Sir Charles Lepani was head of the National Planning Office of Papua New Guinea during the time of the Gang of Four. He played an important role in the development of the country's mining industry and was PNG's ambassador to the European Union from 1991 to 1994 and high commissioner in Australia between 2005 and 2017. Mekere Morauta Sir Mekere Morauta was prime minister between 1999 and 2002, during which he restored some stability to an economy that went through a difficult phase when Bill Skate was prime minister before him. As a member of the Gang of Four in the 1970s, Morauta led the post-independence process of building financial infrastructure in Papua New Guinea as secretary of finance. He later became managing director of the state-owned Papua New Guinea Banking Corporation, and governor of the country's central bank. Morauta died in 2020. Rabbie Namaliu Sir Rabbie Namaliu was a close ally of PNG's first prime minister, Michael Somare. He became PNG's fourth prime minister, between 1988 and 1992. Prior to that he had been the foreign minister. During the second half of the 1970s, as a member of the Gang of Four, he headed the Public Service Commission. Anthony Siaguru Sir Anthony Siaguru was secretary for foreign affairs and trade from 1975 to 1982, responsible for negotiating several important agreements. He went on to hold two ministerial appointments under Somare, from 1982 to 1985, having played a leading role in the success of the Pangu Pati in the 1982 elections. Between 1990 and 1995, Siaguru served as Deputy Secretary-General for Political Affairs for the Commonwealth in its London headquarters. Siaguru campaigned against corruption in Papua New Guinea and was the founder and first chairman of the Transparency International branch in the nation's capital, Port Moresby. Siaguru died in 2004.

The Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) is a process within the National Health Service in England, that allows general practitioners to deny their patients access to their general practice and others general practice if they think a patients behaviour is aggressive or violent, limiting a patients access to primary care to centres that have mitigations for risk of violence. The scheme was previous referred to as the Violent Patient Scheme (VPS). There were 1686 referrals of patients to the scheme in 2018 in England. Legislation The legal rights of a GP to remove a patient in response to violence or behaviour causing fear of violence that is reported to the police was created by secondary legislation applying to the National Health Service Act 1977. The provision of services for patients barred from non-emergency medicine, was created by secondary legislation applying to the National Health Service Act 1977, by The National Health Service (Improved Access, Quality Information Preparation and Violent Patients Schemes) (England) Regulations 2003 to provide general medical services to patients immediately removed from a GP practice due to "act or threat of violence". Behaviours where the SAS does not apply Primary care guidance states referral to the scheme should not be used lightly and should not be used for minor incidents or for behavior that could be ascribed to health conditions which could be alleviated through care management and treatment. The scheme does not normally cover swearing, invasion of personal space, shouting, banging on a desk or a previously non-aggressive patient who is clearly suffering mental or physical anguish. It also does not cover incidents in a hospital or community setting. Appeal and review Primary care guidance state that there should be an appeal process and this appeal should occur within 28 days and if appropriate allow for a patient to be represented, but that removal occurs prior to an appeal. In South West England, patients are entitled to appeal, but must appeal within a month of being referred to the special allocation scheme. A panel will then be held within 28 days involving healthcare staff. A review of patients is made each year, and if the panel deems the patient to not present a risk to health staff they are removed from the scheme. References

The Seaward 26RK is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 2005. The boat is also sometimes referred to as the Hake 26RK. Production The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2005, but it is now out of production. The boat was actually built by Island Packet Yachts, owned by Hake Marine. Design The Seaward 26RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The deck is cored with Divinycell foam. It has a fractional sloop rig; a nearly plumb stem; an open, walk-through transom; a vertically retractable, transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a retractable, lead-cored, lifting keel. It displaces and carries of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of with the keel extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, but a Yanmar inboard diesel engine was a factory option. The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a bow cabin "V"-berth and two main cabin settee berths, around a flip-up table. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove, icebox and a sink. The head is portable type, with an enclosing door optional. Cabin headroom is . The design has a hull speed of . Operational history In a 2005 review in Practical Sailor, Darrell Nicholson wrote, "this boat reflects a thoughtful approach to design that increases user comfort, though its sail plan may disappoint more performance-minded sailors. The additional space in the cockpit and waterline length are a plus, especially since they add only 200 lbs. to the displacement. And we think owners of the 26RK will be pleased at the boat’s ability to gunkhole in bodies of water where deeper draft vessels would be restricted."

Know Your Place was a short-lived BBC Radio 2 sitcom from the early 1980s, set in Worthing Court, a rundown Edwardian block of flats in Bloomsbury, London. The storyline centred around a series of conflicts - and the longstanding frisson - between the elderly caretaker 'the remarkable' Ramsay Potts (played by Roy Dotrice) and his assertive cleaner Elspeth Spurgeon (Patricia Hayes). They are further frustrated by management demands and occasional brushes with tenants. The title refers to the UK's enduring class system, with the associated deference of the cleaner to the caretaker and in turn, the caretaker to the management. Actors who appeared in more than one episode included Pat Coombs, Jon Blythe, Jon Glover, John Graham, Norma Ronald and James Taylor. Storylines bear some similarities with the long-running The Men from the Ministry and the later Radio 2 series Mind Your Own Business. All three were produced by Edward Taylor. The sitcom ran for two series in 1982–3. Both series were written by Andrew Palmer and Nell Brennan. Eight episodes have since been repeated on Radio 4 Extra.

Israel Edwin Goldwasser (August 6, 1878 – June 29, 1974) was a Jewish-American teacher, principal, philanthropist, and businessman from New York. Life Goldwasser was born on August 6, 1878 in New York City, New York, the son of Henry Philip Goldwasser and Rachel Hailblum. Goldwasser attended the College of the City of New York, graduating from there with a B.S. in 1898 and an M.S. in 1900. He also went to New York University, graduating from there with an M.Pd. in 1901 and an M.A. in 1902. In 1897, he began working in the New York City public school system, initially as a teacher in an elementary and high school. He later became principal of an elementary school and an evening high school, and from 1914 to 1919 he was a district superintendent of schools. In connection with his teaching, he published Methods in Teaching English in 1912 and Yiddish English Lessons with Joseph Jablonower in 1914. Within a year of teaching, Goldwasser was appointed senior teacher of the graduating classes. He was the first teacher in New York to introduce a school newspaper that was edited and published by the students, which was called "Old Fifteen." He was appointed English teacher in 1903, and two years later took the examination for principalship in public schools. He refused to accept any appointment as principal to any school except in the Lower East Side, since he thought it was important for the principal to understand the students in his care and for the Jewish community to have a Jewish principal at a time when there were only two other Jewish principals in the city. With support from Julia Richman, he was eventually appointed to Public School No. 34 on Broome Street. In 1909, he was transferred to No. 20 on Chrystie and Rivington Streets. He was also principal of the East Side Evening High School, Superintendent of Recreation Centres, and executive manager of the Y.M.H.A. Goldwasser was co-executive director of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies from 1915 to 1917, its trustee from 1917 to 1954, chairman of its distribution committee from 1925 to 1950, and its vice-president. He was a director and executive committee member of the Joint Distribution Committee, a founder, director, treasurer, and chairman of the NYANA, an executive committee member of the Jewish Welfare Board starting in 1918, treasurer of the Graduate School for Jewish Social Work starting in 1925, and head of the Council of Fraternal and Benevolent Organizations of the New York and Brooklyn Federations of Jewish Charities after it was organized in 1935. Goldwasser began working in business in 1920, when he began working with L. Erstein & Bros, Inc. He worked with them until 1930. He then worked with the Commercial Factors Corporation from 1930 to 1931. He became president of the Bachmann Emmerich & Co. in 1931 and vice-president of the Commercial Factors Corporation in 1937. He became an advisory board member of the New York State Committee on Adult Education in 1934 and was a member of the education committee of the Merchants Association of New York City. He retired from the Commercial Factors Corporation in 1954, after which he became an economic consultant and took a special interest in economic projects in Israel. Goldwasser was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the Freemasons. He attended Congregation Rodeph Sholom and served as principal of its Religious School from 1900 to 1905. In 1914, he married Edith Goldstein. Their children were Majorie, Edwin Leo, and Joan. His son Edwin was a physics professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and co-director of the National Accelerator Laboratory in Weston, Illinois. Goldwasser died in the Jewish Home and Hospital on June 29, 1974. References External links The Dr. I.

Ru (), sometimes referred as shan (), ao (), and yi (), is a form of traditional Chinese upper garment, coat, or jacket, which typically has a right closure (although front opening also exist). It is a daily upper garment for women of the Han Chinese ethnic. It can be worn in combination with a skirt (ruqun) or a pair of trousers (shanku). The shape and structure of the jacket varied depending on the time period. Clothing style which overlaps and closes to the right (右衽 youren) originated in China. Upper body garment which overlaps and closes to the right (i.e. y-shaped collar or cross-collar closing to the right, also known jiaoling youren (交領右衽)) started to be worn in the Shang dynasty in China and had been one of the major symbols of the Sino Kingdom. The y-shaped collar upper garment eventually spread throughout Asia. The structure of the jacket worn in the late Qing shared some features of those worn by the Han ethnics in the Ming dynasty. Although the structure of the jacket evolved with time, these forms of jackets continued to be worn in the Republic of China. After the 1930s, these forms of upper garments lost popularity and decreased in use, as Qipao and Western dress became more popular. They regained popularity in the 21st century following the Hanfu movement. Terminology The term ru has sometimes been used as a synonym for the clothing items shan (衫) and ao (袄). Ru can refer to a short jacket, with either short or long sleeves. In the Mawangdui Silk Manuscripts, ru refers to a 'short coat'. Short jackets are also known as duanru (短襦). There is also the term changru (长襦; lit. long 'ru') which also appear in texts and has been described as the precursor of the long-length ao (i.e. long jackets; also known as chang ao) by scholars. Some forms of changru, also known as shuhe (裋褐; i.e. coarse clothing), could reach the knee or the hip level; it was cross-collared closing at the right. Other terms such as daru (大襦; 'outerwear'), shangru (上襦; 'jackets'), and yiru (衣襦) also exist. A danru (襌(單)襦) is a ru jacket without cotton wadding. The term shan can also refer to long garments. According to the Ben Cang Gang Mu (本草綱目), an unlined short garment ru (襦) was called shan (衫) and in Li Shizhen's time, the shan also came to refer to long garments. The term ao (袄) appears in a Sui dynasty rime dictionary called Qieyun, published in 601 AD and can be translated as "padded coat", but it can also refer to a lined upper garment. The term yi (衣) generally refers to clothing. In ancient times, yi (衣) referred to upper outer garment. Construction and design It is a form of jacket or coat, which typically closes to the right (右衽; youren). Although some styles can be found with a front central opening (duijin (对领) or zhiling (直领)).It can be cross-collared (交領右衽; jiaoling youren), or has a slant/oblique closure (大襟右衽; dajin youren), square-collared (方领; fangling). When round necked, it is referred as yuanlingshan. It can be found with or without a standing collar (known as liling (立领) or shuling (竖领)). High collars started to be incorporated in upper garments by the late Ming dynasty. The length of the body may vary (e.g. waist-length, knee-length). The length (e.g. wrist-length, elbow length) and shape of the sleeves (e.g. big sleeves, narrow sleeves, large cuffs, mandarin sleeves, flared sleeves) could also vary. Slits can also be found at both sides of the lower hems of the bodice. Cultural significance Symbol of Chinese civilization Clothing style which overlaps and closes to the right (右衽 youren) originated in China. Cross-collar closing to the right upper garment (i.e. y-shaped collar or upper body garment which overlaps and closes to the right) started to be worn in the Shang dynasty in China and are known as jiaoling youren (交領右衽). The y-shaped collar had been one of the major symbols of the Sino Kingdom, and eventually spread throughout Asia. Chinese-barbarian dichotomy Chinese robes and jackets must cover the right part. The right closure is known as youren (右衽) and is an important symbol of the Han Chinese ethnicity. The traditional way to distinguish between Barbarian and Chinese clothing is by the direction of the collar. In Ancient China, some ethnic minorities had clothing which generally closed on the left side in a way referred as zuoren (左衽). Therefore, the left lapels were used to refer to the rule of foreign nationalities or to refer to Hufu. This can be found in the Analects where Confucius himself praised Guan Zhong for preventing the weakened Zhou dynasty from becoming barbarians; "But for Guan Zhong, we should now be wearing our hair unbound, and the lappels of our coats butonning on the left side [微管仲，吾其被髮左衽矣]". Unbound hair and coats which were closed on the left were the clothing customs of the northern nomadic ethnic groups which were considered as barbarians by the Han Chinese. Funeral practices The only moment Han Chinese used zuoren (左衽) is when they dressed their deceased. This is due to ancient Chinese beliefs in the Yin and Yang theory, where it is believed that the left is Yang and stands for life whereas the right is Yin which stands for death. Based on this belief, the left lapel needs to be outside (i.e. youren) to indicate that the power of Yang is suppressing the Yin, which therefore symbolized the clothing of living people. However, if Yin surpasses Yang (i.e. zuoren), then clothing is the clothing worn by the deceased. It is therefore taboo in Chinese clothing for a living person to wear zuoren. History Pre-Tang dynasty Clothing style which overlaps and closes to the right (右衽 youren) originated in China. According to historical documents and archeological findings, the basic form of clothing during Shang was yichang. Cross-collared upper garment () started to be worn in the Shang dynasty. The yi worn by slaveholders in the Shang dynasty had tight sleeves and were also closed on the right side. Prior to the Eastern Han, the ru (襦) was the most common form of short robe for both men and women; however, the ru was preferred by women afterwards. The long ru could reach the knee-level whereas the short ru was waist-length. The ru could be found unlined, lined or padded. In the Han dynasty, short waist-length ru could be worn with trousers or skirts by men and women respectively. In the Han and Wei dynasties, the ru sleeves could be wide or narrow; the ru was closed to the right. A form of shan (衫) which appeared in the Han and Wei period was a new type of gown which had equal front pieces which were straight instead of cross-collared and was fastened with a string; it was also a form of unlined upper garment with straight sleeves and wide cuffs. This shan was worn by men and women and became popular as it was more convenient for wearing. Tang dynasty Ru, shan, and ao were common garment items for women in the Tang dynasty. Ru (short jacket) and shan (unlined short robe) were used for ceremonial and daily clothing by women. Some jackets in Tang dynasty could be found with narrow sleeves, while other upper garments could be found with loose sleeves. The ru in the Tang dynasty could also be a tight jacket or a cotton-padded jacket, which could have embroidered golden line as embellishment at the collar and sleeves or could sometimes be decorated with silk damask. Duijin shan were also worn by women in this period; a form of duijin shan was the daxiushan which became popular when hufu-style declined in popularity. Song and Liao dynasties In the Song dynasty, the daxiushan (shirt with large/broad sleeves) was a form of fashionable formal clothing. Song dynasty, women wore jiaolingyouren jackets and duijin jackets. Song-style fashion, including jiaolingyouren jackets, continued to be worn by both Han Chinese and non-elite Khitan women in the Liao dynasty; these jackets were waist-length. Ming dynasty In the Ming dynasty, the long jacket (ao) became more prevalent at the expense of the short jacket (ru). According to the Discourse of Northern Learning (Pukhak ŭi; 北學議: 완역정본) by Pak Chega (1750–1805) who visited the Qing dynasty in 1778, in the Ming dynasty, Chinese women's upper garment barely covered the waist during the Hongzhi era (1488–1505); their upper garments then gradually became longer and reached below the knee-level during the Zhengde era (1506–1521). Pak Chega based his description of Chinese women's clothing by using the Records of Daily Study (Rizhilu) by Gu Yanwu (1613–1682), a scholar from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.By the late Ming dynasty, jackets with high collars (known as liling (立领) or shuling (竖领)) started to appear. The standup collar were closed with interlocking buttons made of gold and silver, called zimukou (). The appearance of interlocking buckle promoted the emergence and the popularity of the standup collar and the Chinese jacket with buttons at the front, and laid the foundation of the use of Chinese knot buckles. In women garments of the Ming dynasty, the standup collar with gold and silver interlocking buckles became one of the most distinctive and popular form of clothing structure; it became commonly used in women's clothing reflecting the conservative concept of Ming women's chastity by keeping their bodies covered and due to the climate changes during the Ming dynasty (i.e. the average temperature was low in China). There were at least two types of high collar jackets in the Ming dynasty: Liling duijin shan (立领对襟衫) which is jacket with high collar and closes at the front centrally, and Liling dajin changshan (立领大襟长衫) which is a long jacket with stand-up collar, it overlaps from the neck and closes at the right side. The Liling dajin changshan is typically worn with a skirt, called mamianqun. Qing dynasty As Han women were not forced to change into Manchu clothing in the Qing dynasty, Han women of the Qing dynasty followed the style of female jacket worn in the Ming dynasty. The Han Chinese women carefully maintained their pure Han Chinese ethnicity and did not wear Manchu clothing. Over time, the Ming dynasty customs were gradually forgotten. The clothing of the Han and the Manchu eventually influenced each other. However, Manchu women and Han Chinese women never emulated each other's clothing; and as a result, by the end of the nineteenth century, Manchu and Han Chinese women had maintained distinctive clothing. In the mid-Qing clothing, fashionable styles were associated to those worn in the late 16th and early 17th century. According to the Discourse of Northern Learning (Pukhak ŭi; 北學議: 완역정본) by Pak Chega (1750–1805) who visited the Qing dynasty in 1778, Chinese women wore upper and lower garments which were similar to those worn in ancient paintings. Pak described the jackets had collars which were round and narrow and were fastened just below the chin; he also described them as being typically long enough to conceal the entire body although in some cases, the jacket would be long enough to be just below the knee-level. Pak also observed that the Chinese women's clothing preserved the old traditions (which were mostly intact) and which he contrasted with the Joseon women's clothing trend which he claimed to be taking more after Mongolian in style, an influence which he attributed to the close relationship between Goryeo and the Yuan dynasty and continued to exist in Joseon during his lifetime. In the late 18th and 19th century, there was a dramatic shift in fashion aesthetics. New silhouettes were recorded in various pictorial and written sources, which were different from those worn in the Ming dynasty (i.e. loose and long layered jackets and skirts which were more unstructured), with the appearance of wider and more structured forms of Han Chinese women's jackets (including shan, ao, and gua). The trend in this period was characterized on the emphasis on decorative trims and accessories which were modular and could be easily produced, purchased and then applied on the clothing (including robes, jackets, and skirts); those forms of modular features included collars, sleeve-bands and border decorations. The borders decoration in contrasting colours were used throughout the clothing history of China and were recorded early on in history (e.g. in the Liji). During this period, auspicious symbols and narrative scenery were especially made into embroidered roundels and borders and became fashionable in Han Chinese women's clothing; this new trend was an influence of the late imperial secularization of arts and culture on textiles. They were also lavished with embroideries which were based on the Chinese symbolic system, which was itself based on Chinese language, mythology, customs, and literature, and belief system (e.g. Confucianist and Taoist motifs). The wide sleeves used in the upper garment were a heritage of the Ming dynasty and a distinctive feature which differentiated Han Chinese clothing from Manchu clothing. In terms of length, the long jacket (ao) (about below the hip level or at the knee level) were never as long as the Manchu robes, but it was longer than the waist-length jacket (ru) which appeared to have fallen from popularity during the 18th century. The dajin youren ao (大襟右衽袄; jackets with overlapping front which closes to the right) were worn. In the late Qing, these jackets had neither darts nor shoulder stitching. The front and back panels are connected by the shoulder, and the left and right pieces are more or less symmetrical. It has a front centre closure and then curves crossover to the right before secured with frog buttons. The front closing, collar, hem, and sleeves cuff have edging of contrasting pipings and side slits. The jackets could also be decorated with yunjian appliqué. The duijin ao (对襟袄; jackets with front opening) were also worn. Duijjin ao in the 19th century could be round neck with no collar or have small stand-up collars.Cross-collar jackets (jiaoling youren; 交領右衽) continued to be worn in the Qing dynasty even in the 19th century by children. Republic of China In the early Republic of China, the dajin youren jackets (ao) were found with narrow sleeves; the length of the sleeves could be found wrist-length, and higher standing collar (e.g. saddle/ingot collar or ear-length collar). These high collars were gradually lowered. After the May 4th Movement, these high collars were abandoned due to their inconvenience. In the 1920s, the jackets had curved lower hem at the waist-hip region and low standing collar; it was a component of the civilized new dress (Wenming xinzhuang; 文明新裝). After the 1930s, these forms of upper garments lost popularity and decreased in use, as they were replaced by Qipao and Western dress. Influences and derivatives The right closure was adopted by the Japanese in 718 through the Yoro Code which stipulated that all robes had to be closed from the left to the right in a typical Chinese way and by the Koreans during the Three Kingdoms period who changed the closure of their jeogori from left to right by imitating Chinese jackets; the right closure is a feature which still exists in present-days hanbok. Initially, the jeogori closed at the front, then switched to a left closure before eventually closing to the right side. Closing the jeogori to the right has become standard practice since the sixth century AD. King Hyonjong of Goryeo had been said to have composed a poem in 1018 stating, "Had it not been for Kang, evermore would our coats on the left be bound", when Kang Kamch'an won against the invading Khitan. The Vietnamese used to wear the áo giao lĩnh (cross-collared robe) which were identical to those worn by Han Chinese people before adopting the precursor of the aodai (known as Áo ngũ thân), a loose-fitting shirt with a stand-up collar and a diagonal right side closure which run from the neck to the armpit and trousers. The standing-up collar and diagonal right closure are two features inspired by Chinese and Manchu clothing. The change in upper garment style along with the adoption of Chinese-style trousers was decreed by the Nguyen Lords who ruled the south region of Vietnam and who wanted to differentiate their people from those living in the north and were ruled by the Trinh Lords. The people of Ryukyu wore cross-collar upper garment called dujin (胴衣; ドゥジン), which was only worn by members of the Ryukyu royal family and by the upper-class warrior families. The old-style dujin was initially more Chinese in style before gradually becoming more Japanese in style.

2 Church Street is a building in Ribchester, Lancashire, England. The property dates to at least the 19th century, and in the 1970s it was discovered that the northeastern corner of a Roman fort, centred in the immediate area, is located on the property. The fort, called Bremetennacum Veteranorum, is now a scheduled monument. A sod-and-clay rampart had existed before the fort was constructed. The rear of the property was originally partially excavated during the 1970s, when a cobblestoned surface and a stone corner watchtower were discovered; it was then covered with a plastic sheet in an attempt to preserve them. 1993 Time Team excavation The back garden of the property was excavated during a three-day visit from Time Team between 3 September and 5 September 1993, the first episode filmed for the series. It was aired on 23 January 1994 as the second episode. The home's owner at the time was Jim Ridge, the honorary curator of the village's Roman museum, in whose honour a gallery is named. Ridge was a history teacher at Broughton and then Fulwood High Schools. Having lived in the cottage since 1977, he knew when he purchased the property that there was part of the fort there. He wrote to Time Team informing them of the fort's substantial remnants. He also believed that his cottage was built almost entirely from rubble from the stone rampart. Phil Harding undertook Time Teams excavation, during which evidence of a wooden watchtower was discovered, pre-dating the stone structure. 2006 excavation A planning application for a two-storey extension at the rear of the cottage was submitted in 2006. A watching brief of the groundworks was requested by Lancashire County Archaeological Service (LCAS) to the local planning authority due to the high archaeological content in the vicinity. Twelve timbers were discovered, lying aligned southwest-to-northeast, varying in thickness from to . They were set roughly to apart. They were waterlogged and, therefore, in good condition; two had been cut or had decayed in situ, however. The depth of the timbers was significant enough that they, it was believed, would not be disturbed by the construction as the current plans stood. Timbers had also been found during similar work undertaken next door at Riverside House (1 Church Street) the previous year, although those had shown more signs of having had work done to them. In all, 22 artefacts (or fragments thereof) were recovered during the investigation, split between Romano-British pottery and more modern material. The majority of them were pottery from the 19th century and later. Two animal bones were also found. References Church Street 2 19th-century establishments in England

Parenchymia is a proposed clade encompassing Nemertea and Platyhelminthes. The clade was formed from a 2019 study showing the clade as a sister to Annelida and Lophophorata. The synapomorphies include similar organization of ciliary bands in the larva of both groups as well as a lack of chitin, and is named for the abundant parenchyma found between the body wall and internal organs of both. A similar taxon with Mollusca being likewise linked together with Symbion and Entoprocta has been proposed in a clade called Tetraneuralia. References Protostome taxonomy Lophotrochozoa

HMS Jason was a 36-gun fifth-rate Penelope-class frigate, launched in 1800. She served the entirety of her career in the English Channel, mostly in the frigate squadron of Commodore Charles Cunningham. Serving off the coast of France, especially around Le Havre and Cherbourg, she captured several French privateers and recaptured a British merchant ship in a cutting out expedition. Having only been in commission for around fifteen months, Jason was wrecked off the coast of St Malo on 21 July 1801. Her crew were saved and later exchanged, and in August her wreck was burned to prevent the French from rescuing it. Design and construction Jason was a 36-gun, 18-pounder, fifth-rate Penelope-class frigate, designed by Sir John Henslow on 4 May 1797. She was one of three ships of the class to be built. They were the largest 36-gun frigates designed by the British during the French Revolutionary War. This large size came about, despite them not being the most heavily armed frigates of the period, because there was a need in the blockading fleets in the English Channel for large, tough frigates that would be able to survive the rough weather that placed considerable stress on the timbers of ships. Fast frigates that had necessarily been built lighter were found to not operate well in these conditions, and so speed was sacrificed for strength specifically for these services. Ordered to George Parsons' shipyard at Bursledon on 15 September 1798, Jason was laid down in October, named on 15 November, and launched on 27 January 1800 with the following dimensions: along the upper deck, at the keel, with a beam of and a depth in the hold of . Her draught was forwards and aft, with the ship measuring 1,052 tons burthen (the average 36-gun frigate was only 950 tons). Jason was fitted out at Portsmouth Dockyard between 30 January and 28 May. The frigate was crewed by 274 men; while her class was laid out as holding thirty-six long guns, Jason was instead armed with thirty long guns and fourteen carronades. Twenty-six 18-pounders were held on the upper deck, with two 9-pounders and ten 32-pounder carronades on the quarterdeck. On the forecastle there were two more 9-pounders and a further four 32-pounder carronades. The carronades took up all the broadside locations on the quarterdeck and forecastle, leaving the four 9-pounders as chase guns. The original planned armament which favoured more 9-pounders was adjusted to its more carronade-centric focus for Jason on 17 June 1799. This meant she differed considerably from the name-ship of the class, HMS Penelope, which was provided with the standard armament and as such had fewer 32-pounder carronades (eight) and more 9-pounder long guns (eight). The class had actually been designed by Henslow to hold 6-pounders instead of 9-pounders, but this was an oversight on his part, as an Admiralty Order of 25 April 1780 had decreed that all future 36- and 38-gun frigates were to have 9-pounders, and he later corrected his design error, with Jasons build being adjusted on 30 October 1798. Service Jason was commissioned mid-way through her fitting out process, in March 1800, by Captain Joseph Sydney Yorke. She sailed from Portsmouth Dockyard on 28 May, the same day the process was completed. Jason later on sailed as escort to a convoy of ships headed for Botany Bay and the East Indies, but with the wind against them they spent almost the entirety of November sheltering at Cowes; the convoy finally sailed on 19 November. Having returned from this duty, Jason began to serve in the English Channel as part of a squadron of eight frigates commanded by Commodore Charles Cunningham, frequently sailing on cruises out of Portsmouth. She captured the French 14-gun privateer La Venus off Cherbourg on 18 January 1801. In early March she detained the Danish brig Bontine while sailing with the 46-gun frigate HMS Loire, taking the vessel in to Portsmouth. Jason and Loire returned to sea on 14 March; at some point under Yorke Jason also captured the French privateer Le Poisson Volant. By the beginning of April Yorke had left Jason, and he was temporarily replaced by Lieutenant Woodley Losack who served as her acting captain. Serving off Le Havre, on 1 April Jason and the 28-gun frigate HMS Lapwing chased two French frigates that had escaped the port, but the French ships reached Cherbourg before they could be caught. Staying in consort with Lapwing, the two frigates recaptured the British merchant vessel Trafficker on 2 April; she had been taken into Cherbourg by her French capturer, and from there Jason and Lapwing cut her out. On 15 April Jason detained the Danish merchant vessel Hoffnung, sending her in to Plymouth. She then captured the French 14-gun privateer Le Dovad on 1 May. Soon afterwards Losack's acting command came to an end, and he handed Jason over to Captain Volant Vashon Ballard later in the month. Ballard was ordered to take Jason cruising, but no prizes are recorded as being taken during this time, with the ship also involved in convoy protection duties. Captain the Honourable John Murray replaced Ballard in around July of the same year, and Jason continued to serve in the English Channel. On 21 July the frigate was wrecked on a rock off St Malo. The weather at the time of the incident was good, described by historian Terence Grocott as a "beautiful day", and the entire crew was saved with help from the local French population. Jason however was irrecoverable, and Murray and the rest of her crew were taken as prisoners of war. Jason was still a part of Cunningham's squadron, and the commodore organised for her crew to be exchanged at Portsmouth soon afterwards. Jason was still grounded on 5 August, but with the French making efforts to recover the frigate and her armament, Lieutenant Ross of the 16-gun brig-sloop HMS Weazle made an attempt to burn her wreck. He was forced to abort this because of the rising tide that made setting a fire impossible. On the following day Cunningham sent in more boats to assist in the destruction, this time commanded by Lieutenant William Mounsey with assistance from two gun-brigs, the 12-gun HMS Insolent and 14-gun HMS Liberty. The boats succeeded in burning Jason where she lay, while under fire from two French batteries. Having been exchanged, Murray was court martialled for the loss of Jason on 20 August, but he and his officers were acquitted.

It was made under the banner of Mohammad Mohsin Production which is named after Mohammad Mohsin. The film explores difficulties and challenges faced by all the 4 women whose range of character adds to the intensity and conflict. It forces the characters and audiences to explore what would have been their decisions when they would have been faced with similar situation in life. The film predominantly uses one location, where most of the movie takes place. Plot Jerry is a cabin crew who is in love with Chris who is a spoilt son of a business tycoon. While Jerry has all her love for Chris, Chris is flirtatious and does not commit to the relationship with Jerry. Chris's Dad has organised a New Year Eve gathering with all his business partners, in which Chris and Jerry are also to be introduced to all, post their engagement. Jerry wants to go to the party but is pulled out for a flight at the last moment. Chris becomes very upset on Jerry and gives her an option of choosing between the job and him. This leaves Jerry in a dilemma as she cannot quit her job since she supports her family with the money and if she does not go to the party it will create a rift in the relation between Chris and her. Ahaana is also a cabin crew and roommate of Jerry. Ahaana is a humble and career oriented girl, she wants to achieve the best for herself in the flying job, while her mother and Jasmine aunty are pushing her for marriage to a guy who does not want her to pursue her career. Ahaana is very attached to her younger sister Suhana and father who support her decisions. When Jasmine aunty brings the proposal for Ahaana, she is very disturbed and does not want to get married to a guy who does not respect women. This creates a huge ruckus in the family. Reema and Lolo are colleague and friends to both Ahaana and Jerry and are also in the cabin crew job with the same airlines. Reema has returned tired from a flight and is in the gymnasium with her trainer Ali as she is paranoid that if she puts on weight and is not fit, then it will be a challenge for her in the job. Reema likes Jerry a lot and wants to have a relationship with her. Jerry is a straight girl and rejects the relationship. This upsets Reema, who constantly attacks Jerry in every small pretext. Ahaana and Lolo are unaware of this development. When a fight erupts between Jerry and Reema, Jerry shows the proposal message of Reema to Ahaana and Lolo, both of them are shocked. Reema breaks down and recalls her childhood incident which disturbs her till now and hence she cannot trust any man to be in a relationship. Reema believes that Chris is not good for Jerry and hence Reema is the best choice for her. Lolo is the pacifier of the group and tries to calm the situation down. While Lolo is a very independent and glamorous girl, she faces the prejudiced behaviour of certain men who consider a glamorous girl to be available and cheap. Lolo detests this kind of thought and people, but takes things in her stride. Maa and Jasmine aunty keep on calling Ahaana about her decision of the match, to which Ahaana cannot control anymore and breaks down, at the same time she puts up a brave front and declines the marriage proposal to continue with her passion for flying. Chris calls Jerry to confirm if she has cancelled the flight. Jerry is disturbed at this insensitive behaviour of Chris and talks to the girls about it. This gives Reema an occasion to prove that she was correct, and Chris is not right for Jerry. Jerry thinks about it a lot and breaks up with Chris as he is self centred. With all these turmoils in relationships in one evening, all the girls put up a smiling face and start to get ready for their flight on the New year evening. As much they wanted to spend the evening together, but duty comes before anything. At this time Lolo gets a phone call from her friend who asks her to watch the news, when the girls watch the news they are thrilled to see that because of incessant rain through the evening the run way of the airport is flooded and the flights for the evening is cancelled.

Palestinian Mexicans () are Mexican citizens of Palestinian descent or Palestine-born people residing in Mexico. There are approximately 13,000 Mexicans of Palestinian origin. History The period of Palestinian migration to Mexico took place from 1893 to 1949. Palestinian immigration to Mexico continued during the mid-20th century, when the Middle East witnessed a mass emigration of Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians fleeing from political instability. Approximately 23,000 Palestinians were registered as Arab without taking into account the different nationalities. With the decades that followed, tens of thousand of migrants from Palestine as well as other Arab nations began arriving in Mexico. World War I created a new wave as widespread food shortages and famine ravaged the Levant. The delimitation is given by the data that the analyzed source throws. The flows of Palestinian immigrants to Mexico began at the end of the 20th century, and from then on they continued to occur, either increased or decreased according to the periods until reaching their end of emigration. The survey of the economic and sociocultural aspects of the Palestinians in Mexico and their process of integration into the country was based exclusively on the fieldwork carried out in Monterrey and Torreon.

Whirlinurd is a platform game designed by Chris Gray and published by U.S. Gold in 1985 for the Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 home computers. The previous game co-designed by Chris Gray was the 8-bit hit Boulder Dash. Gameplay The player controls one of the four Nurds and must complete 50 rooms with filled with obstacles, collecting food along the way. Each level has different obstacles (such as snakes, bugs, or bouncing balls) that must be avoided, or the player will lose one of three lives. The player-controlled Nurd can fly using the propellers on its head, but if the Nurd touches a wall or platform, it floats back to the ground and cannot fly until it touches solid land. In each room, the player must collect four pieces of food before he can proceed to the next level. Reception Whirlinurd received mixed reviews, many of which highlighted the game's derivativeness. Your Commodore reviewer concluded: "I found this game quite challenging to play, but I can't say that it was more exciting than the host of other games in the same vein." A Commodore User reviewer agreed: "Whirlinurd is pretty standard stuff really and very similar in concept, though not detail, to umpteen other obstacle games".

Eugene Muse Mitchell (October 16, 1866 - June 17, 1944) was an American lawyer, politician, and historian. He served as the President of the Atlanta Board of Education from 1911 to 1912, during which time he eliminated the use of corporal punishment in city schools. He owned a law firm in Atlanta, and was a co-founder of the Atlanta Historical Society. He was married to the prominent Catholic activist and suffragist Maybelle Stephens Mitchell and was the father of Margaret Mitchell, who wrote the novel Gone With the Wind. Family background and early life Mitchell was from a prominent Georgia family descended from Thomas Mitchell, a colonial land surveyor originally from Aberdeenshire in Scotland who settled in Wilkes County in 1777 and served in the American Revolutionary War. His great-grandfather, William Mitchell, was born in Edgefield County, South Carolina and owned a farm near Flat Rock. His grandfather, Issac Green Mitchell, farmed in Flat Rock before selling his property to Ira O. McDaniel and purchasing a farm on the north side of the South River in DeKalb County. His father was Russel Crawford Mitchell, a wealthy lawyer and lumber industrialist who served in the Texas Brigade, an infantry formation of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was severely wounded at the Battle of Sharpsburg and demoted for "inefficiency", later serving as a nurse in Atlanta. After the war, he made a large fortune supplying lumber for the rebuilding of Atlanta, which had been largely destroyed during the Battle of Atlanta, becoming one of the richest men in Atlanta and serving as the city's mayor. His mother was Deborah Margaret Sweet, the daughter of William Charles Sweet and Mary Ann McKenzie and the granddaughter of Rev. Gospero Sweet and Ann Munnerlyn, who was from Quincy, Florida and met his father while serving as a nurse during the war. Mitchell was born on October 16, 1866, in Atlanta, the eldest of eleven children. He was educated at Means High School, where he was an exceptional student but often got into fights. He was an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated with the university's highest recorded grade point average at that time. He graduated with honors from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1886. Marriage, family life, and career He married Mary Isabel "Maybelle" Stephens, the daughter of Captain John Stephens and Annie Fitzgerald Stephens of Rural Home Plantation, at her family's Jackson Street mansion on November 8, 1892. The wedding was reported in The Atlanta Constitution. Although raised Protestant, and married to a devout Catholic, Mitchell was not fond of organized religion and, despite agreeing to baptize and raise his children in the Catholic faith, he had disdain for the Catholic Church. In 1893, he opened a law office with his brother, Gordon Forrest Mitchell. The firm was later renamed Mitchell & Mitchell when his son joined him at the practice. Mitchell and his wife had three children, Russell Stephens Mitchell, Margaret Mitchell, and Alexander Stephens Mitchell. Their first child, Russell, died in infancy. The Mitchells first lived in a two-story, six-room frame cottage at 296 Cain Street in an affluent part of Atlanta inhabited by old families, where all of their children were born. The family was very wealthy and had many servants. They lived a few doors down from the palatial city residence of his mother-in-law, Annie, and near many of his wife's relatives. Mitchell took his family on annual vacations to New York City or Boston, and sometimes they visited Albany by sailing up the Hudson River in an ocean liner. In 1902 Mitchell moved his family into a large house on the corner of Jackson Street and Highland Avenue in the affluent Jackson Hill neighborhood. A year later, as his law practice prospered, he moved the family into a large, twelve-room, brick Victorian mansion at 179 Jackson Street. The house had a large front porch and was shaded by giant oak trees. At the bottom of Jackson Hill was an African-American neighborhood called Darktown, where some of the Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 occurred. Mitchell was awoken by the sounds of gunshots the night the riot began and wrote to his wife, who was away, the following morning stating, "sixteen negros had been killed and a multitude had been injured" and that "rioters killed or tried to kill every Negro they saw." As the rioting continued, with an angry mob of 10,000 white people assembling in the streets beating and killing black people, false rumors began spreading that black men were assaulting white women and would potentially burn down Jackson Hill. At his daughter Margaret's suggestion, Mitchell stood guard of his home with a sword, as he did not own a gun. No attack occurred on the Mitchell home. In 1909, Mitchell purchased a large lot at 1149 on Peachtree Street, where he built a two-story Colonial Revival mansion with terraces. The family moved into the house in 1912, which had a parlor, a sitting room, a music room, a dining room, a large kitchen, a pantry, a large front entrance hall, and upstairs bedrooms that opened out onto porches. Their former home on Jackson Street was destroyed in the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. Mitchell served as president of the Atlanta Board of Education from 1911 to 1912, during which he abolished corporal punishment in public schools. He was a co-founder of the Atlanta Historical Society. He died on June 17, 1944, in Atlanta and is buried in Oakland Cemetery.

List of aircraft in use by Turkey during World War II. This shows how the Turkish Air Force would have been equipped throughout World War II as it was caught between the warring factions. Fighters PZL P.24 Hawker Hurricane- Both before and during the war. Morane-Saulnier M.S.406- Sold just before the Battle of France. Supermarine Spitfire- Some in service in WWII. Mainly used Post-War. Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Focke-Wulf Fw 190- Provided in 1943 in exchange for chromium and iron. Turkey like other neutral countries such as Spain and Sweden provided Germany with materials during World War II mainly chromium. Bombers Martin B-10 Heinkel He 111 Fairey Battle Bristol Blenheim Consolidated B-24 Liberator- 5 out of 11 interned after Operation Tidal Wave in 1943 repaired and out into service. Bristol Beaufort- Unlike those above was delivered during not before but during WWII from 1944-1945.Replaced Blenheim. Martin Baltimore- Again acquired near end of WWII. Trainers Gotha Go 145 Avro Anson- Its main role in RAF service was a trainer for bombers. Turkey most likely would have used it for this role. It could also use bombs so it could have been a bomber in Turkish service although far more likely a trainer considering they already had a lot of better bombers as seen here.

Tartar was launched at Bristol in 1778. Initially she sailed as a privateer. Then in 1781 she became a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. She made one complete voyage as a slave ship; French naval vessels captured Tartar on her second slave trading voyage. Career Tartar first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR), in 1778. The British Admiralty had given notice in April 1777, that they were ready to issue letters of marque for privateers against the Americans. In March 1778, Great Britain broke off relations with France. Tartar initially sailed as a privateer. Before Tartar sailed on her first and second cruises, her owners presented her captains with detailed instructions as to the conduct of the cruises. On her first cruise, Tartar captured the American-built French brigantine Babet, which was sailing from Bordeaux to Martinique. Tartar was in company with another Bristol privateer, Albion, when they captured the snow Santa Maria. Tartar, in company with the privateer Alexander, captured Ferme, prior to end-September 1778. Ferme was an East Indiaman, and so a major prize. Reportedly, she had been insured in London for £100,000. She was also the only major prize that Bristol privateers captured in 1778. In November 1778 Tartar, in company with , took a Swedish vessel that had been on her way from Venice to Bordeaux. They sent the prize into Kingroad, by Avonmouth. In December, Tartar was off Ushant when she encountered a French frigate of 36 guns. After an engagement of one-and-a-half hours, the frigate left. Tartar had three men killed and several men wounded. Captain Aaron Floyd acquired a letter of marque on 6 March 1779. On 19 September 1779 Tartar engaged an American privateer armed with thirty 6 and 9-pounder guns for two hours before the American vessel sailed away. Tartar had suffered three men killed and 13 wounded. Next, Tartar captured St Antonio E. Almas, which was carrying tobacco from Ostend to Lisbon. Tartar sent her prize into King Road, off Avonmouth. The capture of St Antony Palmas, Sebastio Alfonso, master, took place on 24 September. New owners in late 1779 sailed Tartar as a slave ship. Captain James Fraser acquired a letter of marque on 17 December 1779. He sailed from Bristol on 13 March 1780 with a crew of 60 men. Tartar started gathering slaves at Cape Coast Castle on 23 November. She embarked 250 slaves and sailed from Africa on 1 February 1781. She arrived at Barbados on 30 March. From there she sailed to Montego Bay, Jamaica. She arrived at the West Indies with 54 crew and discharged 28 at Barbados or Jamaica. Tartar sailed from Jamaica on 18 July, and arrived back at Bristol on 20 September 1781 with 26 crew members. On the way home she took on 40 tons of rice and 500 skins seized from a Spanish vessel that had been sailing from the Spanish Main to Havana. {\| class=" wikitable" \|- ! Year ! Master ! Owner !

Operation Ivory Soap was a classified military project to provide forward theatre support for aircraft repair and maintenance during World War II in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. Six Liberty ships were converted into floating shops to repair aircraft. They were designated Aircraft Repair Units (Floating). The Liberty ships were retrofitted to repair B-29 bombers. Eighteen smaller long auxiliary vessels were designated as Aircraft Maintenance Units. The smaller vessels were intended to repair fighter aircraft like the P-51 Mustang, Lockheed P-38, Sikorsky R-4 helicopters, and amphibious vehicles. The island-hopping strategy employed in campaigns like Operation Cartwheel necessitated more flexibility to support aircraft operations at rapidly shifting, far-flung island airfields. Once an island was taken it was used as a forward airfield for aircraft returning from long range missions where they were repaired, rearmed, and made ready for the next vital mission. The Army came up with an idea in 1944 for forward-based, mobile air depots to repair and maintain American bombers and fighters. The idea was then advanced to Washington, where it was reviewed and approved by the commander of the Army Air Corps, Gen. Henry H. "Hap" Arnold. It was then approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Brookley Army Air Field near Mobile, Alabama had become the major Army Air Forces supply base for the Air Materiel Command in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean. The military decided to take advantage of Brookley's large, skilled workforce for the top-secret project. It selected Colonel Matthew Thompson, a former member of the British Royal Navy, to lead the training effort. He took over the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama and in less than five months trained about 5000 Army soldiers in the skills necessary to repair aircraft and to operate aboard a ship. Meanwhile, the ships were fitted with all of the shops and materials necessary to support and repair aircraft. In October 1944 the First Aircraft Repair Unit deployed and by the following February, all six vessels traveled through the Panama Canal to the Pacific. The ships were manned by members of the Army, Navy and Merchant Marines. They operated near Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands, Saipan and Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands, Iwo Jima, Luzon, Guam, and Okinawa. The ship's early model Sikorsky R-4 helicopters were used to transport mechanics, parts, and later to ferry wounded soldiers to field hospitals. The helicopters were instrumental in saving dozens of lives. The project was declassified in 1953. Origins The idea of floating aircraft repair units was conceived during U.S. military operations in the Mediterranean Sea during World War II. The Army Air Force learned when moving forces from Tunisia in North Africa to Sicily and Italy that relocating a land-based repair depot with its large maintenance facilities could take two to six months. Air Technical Service Command, responsible for maintaining aircraft, was given responsibility for finding a solution. During World War II, Brookley Army Air Field had become the major Army Air Forces supply base for the Air Technical Service Command in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean. Brookley became Mobile's largest employer, with about 17,000 skilled civilians capable of performing delicate work with fragile instruments and machinery. The Air Technical Service Command decided in 1944 to take advantage of Brookley's large, skilled workforce for its top-secret "Ivory Soap" project to hasten victory in the Pacific. The project required 24 large vessels to be re-modeled into Aircraft Repair and Maintenance Units that could support repair and maintenance of B-29 bombers, P-51 Mustang, Sikorsky R-4 helicopters, and amphibious vehicles. The operation remained classified until 1953. It is not even mentioned in the official history book The Army Air Forces In World War II. Conversions The Army Air Force delivered 24 vessels to Mobile, Alabama, in spring 1944 to start conversion. Six Liberty ships were converted into floating shops to repair aircraft. They were designated Aircraft Repair Units, Floating and were equipped to repair planes as big as the B-29 Superfortress. Eighteen smaller ships were outfitted as Aircraft Maintenance Units for the repair of fighter aircraft. Eventually, six -long Liberty ships were modified into Aircraft Repair Units (Floating) carrying about 344 men. Eighteen smaller long coastal freighters were designated as Aircraft Maintenance Units and manned by 48 troops. Everything from the smallest aircraft parts to complete fighter wings were carried on these ships. The repair and maintenance facilities were manned 24 hours a day and the Liberty ships were equipped with a steel deck to support helicopter operations, including quick ship-to-shore repair transport. The conversion added multiple shops and equipment to the Liberty Ships: machine tools, welding, cranes, sheet metal, radiator, tank, wood, patterns, blue print, electrical, fabric and dope, paint, air-conditioned instrument and camera shops, radio, battery, propeller, tires and fuel cells, armament and turrets, plating, radar, carburetor, and turbosupercharger. A shop for generating oxygen used aboard the bombers was also built. Each ship had a hospital, orderly room, mess facilities, sleeping quarters, laundry, post office, brig, and post exchange. The only work they did not perform was engine overhaul due to limited space. Two LCVPs and two DUKWs were added for ship-to-shore transportation along with three or four Sikorsky R-4 helicopters. The helicopters were used to locate downed planes, rescue flight crews and passengers, ferry technicians and mechanics to islands, and to transport parts. The ships carried a large inventory of steel, lumber, aluminum, and other materials to manufacture needed parts. They carried anti-aircraft guns. Each Liberty had a 3-inch 50 at the bow and a 5-inch 38 aft, plus two 40mm anti-aircraft and twelve 20mm anti-aircraft gun mounts. Proportionately less firepower went aboard the auxiliaries. The guns were manned by 27 members of the Naval Armed Guard while the ships' operations were performed by merchant marine crews. The ship conversion took place near Brookley Army Air Field. Liberty ships After their arrival in the Pacific in April 1945, the six converted Liberty ships were renamed with new "General" names. The first and second ships were specially equipped and trained to support B-29s in the Marianas, including repair of their radar and complex central fire control systems. They became know as "The Generals." 1st ARU(F) SS Daniel E. Garrett renamed Major General Robert Olds. 2nd ARU(F) SS Rebecca Lukens renamed Major General Herbert A. Dargue. 3rd ARU(F) SS Thomas LeValley renamed Major General Walter R. Weaver. 4th ARU(F) SS Richard O'Brien renamed General Asa N. Duncan. 5th ARU(F) SS Robert W. Bingham renamed Brigadier General Clinton W. Russell. 6th ARU(F) SS Nathaniel Scudder renamed Brigadier General Alfred J. Lyon. Commanded by Col. E. R. French and later by Col. Lelard D. Crawford. Auxiliary Aircraft Repair Ships The auxiliary ships were designated as Aircraft Repair variant, Design 427, "Vessel, Supply, Aircraft Repair, Diesel, Steel, 180-foot 573 ton" vessels. They were purpose built by Higgins Industries in New Orleans, Louisiana, for use by the United States Army. The ships were designed with a covered well deck to provide shop space to repair aircraft by an embarked Aircraft Maintenance Unit (Floating). The 18 auxiliaries were completed in December 1944 and named in honor of an Army Colonel, gaining the nickname as a group of "The Colonels." FS-204 Col. Clifford P. Bradley FS-205 Col. Richard E.

Ziegler Training Colonel Matthew Thompson of the Army Air Force, formerly a member of the British Royal Navy, was called back from Anzio in Italy. He was given the mission to turn airmen into seamen and was given less than two weeks to organize the training program. Thompson learned of the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama. He contacted Ed Roberts, head of the Waterman Steamship Co., owner of the Grand Hotel. Roberts donated the use of his hotel. "Colonel, I'm too old to fight," Roberts told Thompson, "and this is my donation to the war effort." Thompson insisted that using the hotel free of charge didn't feel right. Thompson said Roberts told him, " 'Give me a dollar.' I gave him a dollar, and that was that." Using the Grand Hotel, officers and men moved in and began living in "Navy style." All personnel referred to the floors as decks, kept time by a ship's bell and indulged in the use of tobacco only when the "smoking lamp" was lit. The hotel was used to house soldiers and served as a maritime training facility. It was the focal point for training the Army Air Force officers, mechanics, and machinists in basic seamanship, marine and aquatic training, including how to abandon ship if needed. Courses included swimming, special calisthenics, marching, drill, navigation, ship identification, signaling, cargo handling, ship orientation, sail making, knot-tying, amphibious operations, and more. Two men from each ship were also trained to be underwater divers. "We called this the Ivory Soap Project," Thompson later told a newspaper. "Now how did this become that code name? Someone went to the restroom, and when he came back, said, 'I've got a name for the mission: Ivory Soap.'" Ivory soap, like the experimental Aircraft Repair Units, floats. Operation Ivory Soap training began on July 10, 1944. In less than five months, Thompson led the conversion effort and trained 5,000 highly trained Army Air Force seamen to operate the ships once on the water. By October, the first vessel departed Mobile. Operations On October 1, 1944, SS Maj. Gen. Herbert A. Dargue sailed for New Orleans, then to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to join a convoy through the Panama Canal. Once in the Pacific, she sailed alone at toward Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands. From there it was ordered to Saipan. In November it anchored the hook in Tanapag Harbor near Saipan. Colonel Thompson joined the men in the Pacific Campaign. The ships participated in landings in the Philippines, Guam, Tinian, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. The Brig. Gen. Alfred J. Lyon departed for the Pacific on February 2, 1945. By the end of February, all six vessels were in the Pacific. The soldiers wore Navy dungarees and white sailor hats while on board ship, and an Army uniform while on land. They were nicknamed "saildiers" (sail-jers) by other soldiers and sailors. At the beginning of June 1945, the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Aircraft Repair Units were operating in the Philippines, supporting the Fifth Air Force, while the remaining three supported the 20th Air Force in the Marianas. Fighter aircraft and B-29s taking off from these bases flew continuous missions over Japan. The soldiers saved many lives and serviced hundreds of aircraft. The Brigadier General Clinton W. Russell commanded by Major R. E. Culberson was stationed at Biak, Tacloban, and Naha. As needed, the mechanics and craftsmen would take the DUKW or the helicopter to shore to inspect damaged aircraft. Small assemblies would be flown back to the ship for repair. Larger parts could be transported on the DUKW. Mechanics could also set up on shore and complete repairs there. Between November 1944 and 1 September 1945, Major General Herbert A. Dargue alone supplied B-29s and P-51s with over 38,000 parts and units, ranging from spark plugs to the central fire controls for the . After the war ended, the USS Brig. Gen. Alfred J. Lyon was the first supply vessel docked in Tokyo Bay at Yokohama, Japan. It was later used as a repair ship to maintain specialized equipment used during Operation Crossroads, the nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in mid-1946. Medical evacuations Helicopter pilot 2LT Louis Carle was assigned to the Brigadier General Clinton W. Russell, the Fifth Aircraft Repair Unit. On June 15, 1945, the Fifth Air Force received a request from the 38th Infantry Division to evacuate two soldiers with head injuries from a spot east of Manila. Carle flew one of his ship's Sikorsky R-4 helicopters and landed near the front lines, much to the amazement of the soldiers, who had never seen a helicopter. Under the best of conditions, the R-4 could carry, in addition to the pilot and fuel, only , which meant only instruments and small components such as propeller hubs. But the timely delivery of even small payloads was highly valued. The helicopter was not configured to handle stretchers. Carle removed a seat, placed the wounded soldier on the aircraft floor, and flew him to the 311th General Field Hospital near Manila. Once word got out of the helicopter's availability, they were called on again and again. During one day, Carle flew seven hours and evacuated six wounded soldiers. From June 15 to July 29, 1945, Carle and five other pilots evacuated 75 to 80 wounded soldiers, one or two at a time, from the highlands northeast of Manila. They were the second group of helicopter pilots after Lieutenant Carter Harman to evacuate wounded via helicopter during World War II. Unlike Harmen, they were targeted by Japanese soldiers who tried to shoot them down with machine guns. Their six-week effort constitutes the largest combat helicopter operation before the Korean War. On June 25, the Brigadier General Alfred J. Lyon arrived in Manila Bay. Its pilots also flew rescue operations using their R-4B and R-6A helicopters. In four days, pilots 1LT James Brown, 2LT John Noll, and Flight Officer Edward Ciccolella transported around 40 wounded. Legacy The Merchant Marines who worked with the soldiers praised them as "equal to any seagoing combatants they had ever served with." During the Grand Hotel's 150th anniversary, room 1108, used as an office by Thompson, was officially renamed the Thompson Suite. After Thompson retired in Pensacola, Florida, he returned to the hotel and would only stay in that room. Every day at 3:45 p.m., the Grand Hotel honors its wartime history with a procession across the grounds, concluding with a brief history lesson and cannon firing on the edge of Mobile Bay. , the Grand Hotel still operates. The Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio established an exhibit commemorating the ships and men of Ivory Soap. A Memorial Plaque was dedicated there by the Floating Aircraft Repair and Maintenance Association (FARAMA) on . Sgt. John Francis Sullivan had served with the 107th Quartermaster Company, 126th Infantry, 32nd Infantry Division, in New Guinea during the Battle of Buna–Gona in late 1942 and early 1943. He was a 1Lt serving with the Air Materiel Command (AMC) at Brookley Field in late 1943 when Operation Ivory Soap was launched and was directly involved in the project. He served aboard the Rebecca Lukens (Brigadier General Alfred J. Lyon) in the Pacific at Gram, Saipan, and Tinian through 1945. He was later called on to apply the lessons learned in converting the Liberty Ships. By November 1962 Col. Sullivan was a widely respected Army aviator. Frank S. Besson, commanding general of AMC, recognizing Sullivan's unique background in converting the Liberty Ships and his Army helicopter experience, assigned him as project officer for Operation Flat Top. This program involved conversion of a former World War II seaplane tender, the USS Albemarle (AV 5), into a floating helicopter repair shop for service off the coast of Vietnam.
