Eduardo Manuel de Melo (5 April 1961 – 6 April 2001), nicknamed "Eddie the Hurricane", was a Portuguese-born Canadian boxer and gangster.
Boxer
Melo was born in São Miguel in the Azores archipelago, but grew up in Toronto, where his father worked in construction. He recalled about his youth in a working-class neighborhood: "I was always fighting. If I had a black eye, I didn't put on dark glasses to hide it. If I got a little scratch and come home bleeding, my mother would go crazy. But the way I figured it, you can't give pain to somebody else and not expect to get a little bruised yourself".
Melo dropped out of high school in Grade 9 and with a forged birth certificate moved to Verdun, Quebec where he worked as a boxer. As an amateur boxer, Melo won 93 matches while losing only 4. Melo made his debut as a professional boxer in Montreal on 7 March 1978 at the age of 17. Melo's boxing style gave him the nickname of "The Hurricane". Spider Jones said of Melo: "Eddie Melo filled the Montreal Forum at 18 years old. His explosive power punching style made him on one of Canada’s most exciting fighters of our time". Melo won his first 12 matches in a row in 1978–1979, with the majority being by knock-out. In 1979, Melo became the Canadian middleweight boxing champion. Melo rapidly became a favorite of boxing fans in Montreal.
On 31 October 1978, Melo first fought Fernand Marcotte at the Verdun auditorium in a match that lasted 10 rounds and ended with him winning by split decision. In their second match, Marcotte won by majority decision. The final match in the famous rivalry ended in a draw. The fights between Melo and Marcotte were regarded as some of the best boxing matches in Montreal. In 1981, Melo finally became old enough to box in Ontario.
In the early 1980s, Melo's boxing career went into decline with him losing a match by knock-out to Ralph Hollett in Toronto in January 1981. On 4 May 1982, Melo had a much publicized match against Jimmie Gradson at the CNE Coliseum in Toronto that had been promoted by George Chuvalo. Prior to the match, both men had taken to insulting each other in public, and by all accounts the two boxers hated each other. The match was an extremely hard-fought one with judge Jackie Silver saying: "I’ve seen a lot of fights but never a war like this". The first three rounds of the Gradson-Melo match was described as leaving the audience breathless with excitement. Gradson finally won the match by knock-out in the tenth round. The last noteworthy fight by Melo was when he defeated via knock-out the former Canadian lightweight champion Gary Summerhayes in June 1983.
Melo had married a former Miss Montreal Alouette cheerleader. He used his boxing wealth to buy a Lincoln Continental automobile, a house in Toronto and some $20, 000 worth of jewelry. It was felt that Melo suffered from poor management as his managers kept pushing for him "too hard, too fast" while he began to show signs of brain damage caused by his boxing. One of Melo's fans was the gangster Frank Cotroni of the Cotroni family of Montreal. Melo came to enjoy a friendship with Cotroni, whom he called "my number one fan". The hitman Réal Simard served as the Toronto representative of the Cotroni family starting in July 1983. Cotroni would visit Toronto about once every month to see Simard and during those visits Melo would serve as his chauffer and bodyguard. A police check-up of Melo revealed that Melo was working as an organizer for Local 75 of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees' Union, a union so corrupt that it had been expelled in 1981 from the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec under the grounds that the union was controlled by Cotroni and it represented the interests of management instead of the workers.
Starting in October 1984, a Royal Commission under Justice Raymond Bernier of the Quebec Sports Safety Board examined Mafia influence within boxing. Between October 1984 and July 1985, the Bernier Commission interviewed 105 people and in its report presented in March 1986 concluded that the boxing industry in Quebec was systemically corrupt and under the control of Cotroni, an avid boxing fan. Bernier wrote that Cotroni was the "guiding spirit" of boxing in Montreal. The report listed Melo as one of the boxers who was associated with Cotroni.
With his career in decline, Melo retired in 1986. During his boxing career, Melo won 24 matches out of 34.
Gangster
Melo at the time of his retirement went to work as an organizer for the Cotroni-controlled Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union and then in the vending machine business. Melo was known for his aggressive style both in and outside of the ring with many finding his temper to be quite ungovernable. Melo's real job was as the supervisor for the Cotroni family in Toronto, bringing in strippers and video machines from Montreal to various Toronto bars. The previous Cotroni family representative for Toronto, the hitman Réal Simard, had turned Crown's evidence, thus requiring a replacement. Johnny Papalia, the boss of the Papalia family, came to detest Melo, once telling Cotroni: "Put a lease on Melo or I'll kill him".
In 1989, at a pool hall on College Street, Melo assaulted a Mafiosi, which led to a murder plot against him with a hitman being hired to kill him. The hitman turned informer, and the police faked the murder of Melo with a photograph being taken of a crash test dummy designed to look like Melo being shot up and covered in fake blood. The hitman showed the photographs of the crash test dummy and was paid for the supposed murder, leading to those who had paid him being charged with conspiracy to commit murder. In April 1989, Melos first marriage ended in divorce with his ex-wife, Sine, moving to Vancouver with their two daughters. In the early 1990s, Melo was often photographed eating in a Yorkville restaurant with a visiting Vancouver-area Hells Angel who worked as a loanshark. In 1993, a police report listed Melo as a member of the Siderno Group.
In early 1994, Melo decided to resume his boxing career, hiring the Israeli-Canadian businessman Harold Arviv as his manager. Arviv was a flamboyant character, well known in Toronto, who had gone to prison for four years starting in 1986 for hiring via the Commisso 'ndrina the Satan's Choice hitman and bomber Cecil Kirby to blow up his disco in 1980 in order to allow him to collect the insurance money. Arviv was given to flouting his wealth as he owned a luxury yacht, The Problem Child, that was worth $170,000 that he used to sail Lake Ontario with; previous yachts owned by Arviv had been named Monkey Business and Misbehavior. In March 1994, Melo and Arviv called a press conference when they talked grandly about plans for Melo to perform a comeback tour of Europe, a tour that never occurred. In August 1994, Melo was recorded by a police wiretap talking to a Cotroni family member, Tony Volpato, where he said: "I went there when they had the meeting. I had a couple of guys. We took care of things. You know what I mean?... Went down and took care of things, so there is no problem... So what I'm doing, I think, is the right thing for us and fuck the other guy".
Before Melo could resume boxing, later in 1994 it was discovered that he had never taken Canadian citizenship, thus leading for the government to order him deported to Portugal. Melo fought against the deportation order, arguing: "My parents brought me here for a better life. I did everything in Canada. Had two daughters and now a baby. And I have to add I got in a lot of trouble here, too". In an immigration hearing, Melo admitted that one of his close friends was Joe Diardo, a "leg and arm man" who had thirty convictions going back to 1958 for arson, for passing counterfeit money, robbery, and possession of illegal guns. Melo described Cotroni as one of his best friends and admitted that Volpato was the godfather to one his daughters. Melo also admitted to being a godfather to one of Arviv's daughters. Melo was asked why he should be allowed to stay in Canada given his association with known criminals such as Cotroni, Arviv, and Volpato, leading for him to reply: "All I know is that they've been OK with me. They're never asked me to do any criminal activity or get into trouble. They've only been supportive in whatever it was that I had to do". Melo's friendship with Arviv ended in a bitter dispute over money.
Melo remained a celebrity in Toronto, attending the 1998 Toronto International Film Festival, where he posted for photographs with his second wife, Rhonda, whom it was noted resembled Pamela Lee Anderson. At the same time, Melo claimed to be taking drugs to control his anger, saying he was trying to reform. However, the police remained suspicious of Melo, noting he was still working in the all-cash vending machine business, through Melo complained that police surveillance made it difficult for him to work in the vending machine business. The police also noted that Melo listed his annual income when filing taxes as being about $24,000 yet he lived in a condo on Lakeshore Boulevard West that cost $2,000 per month; paid $1,500 in child support to his ex-wife every month; owned another condo on Queen's Quay; and owned two vehicles, a Jaguar automobile and a sports utility car.
Murder
On Thursday 5 April 2001, Melo planned to go out with his wife Rhonda to attend a concert by Andrea Bocelli at the Air Canada Centre. At about 5:15 pm, Melo went to Amici Sport Café to meet his friend Joao "Johanny" Pavao . At about 6:25 pm, Melo was in the parking lot talking to Pavao when the hitman Charles Gagné shot Melo in the head and then killed Pavao. Melo died of his wound the next day. On 8 April 2001, his widow, his daughter Jessica and his brother Tony were all charged with obstruction of justice and assault after they attacked the officers of the Peel Regional Police who tried to seize Melo's Jaguar for evidence.
Gagné was paid $75,000 for killing Melo. On 30 September 2003, Gagné pledged guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison, being eligible for parole after 12 years in exchange for testifying against his employer. The police believe that Melo's murder was linked to a "historical conflict within the 'Ndrangheta (in Ontario) and that the organization has had with other Italian criminalized groups (in Canada)." The Canadian journalists Peter Edwards and Michel Auger wrote: "Ironically, Melo might have still been alive if he hadn't recently won his fight with the Canadian authorities to keep him from being deported to Portugal. He wasn't famous or feared over there, but then nobody there wanted him dead either". On February 18, 2022, Gagné was denied full parole, but was granted limited release.

Phlegra is a one-movement, thirteen-minute composition scored for an ensemble of eleven instrumentalists: a flute (with a piccolo), an oboe, a B-flat clarinet (with a bass clarinet), a bassoon, a French horn in F, a trumpet, a trombone, a violin, a viola, a cello, and a double bass. The tempo is an unchanging ≅ 48 M. M. (~ 16'). At a regular , as in most of Xenakis's compositions, time signatures serve as references points for musicians, but they are not expected to play accents or mark downbeats. It has a total of 152 bars.
In terms of scoring and composition techniques used, Phlegra is generally associated with Empreintes: both compositions use the same type of instruments, but Phlegra only uses one of each instrument. As in Empreintes, he also uses avant-garde techniques, such as melodic arborescences in the woodwinds and brass, brownian movements in the strings, and rhythmic patterns played by repeating specific notes.
The composition is also notable for its use of consecutive glissandi: each note in the main melodies is meant to be played without any real separation, as they are merely points of reference in a continuous glissando, both up and down. The original score is written in C, while the double bass is written an octave higher and the piccolo is written an octave lower. Musicians are required to play with no vibrato. On stage, the musicians are expected to be seated in a straight line facing the public, with a conductor in front of them.
Reception
Dominic Gill, music critic for The Financial Times, wrote that Phlegra is an "unusual, haunting piece" and that "the first impression of the music is less that of a battlefield than of a metropolis of songs and flowers - powerful, solid forms woven with lyrical colour, embroidered with all manner of formal texture".
Recordings
Partly because of its difficulty and the unusual nature of its scoring, Phlegra has not been very commonly performed. The only recording available worldwide is the authoritative recording made by Michel Tabachnik with the Ensemble InterContemporain. Flutist Emmanuelle Ophèle, oboist László Hadady, clarinetists Alain Damiens and Guy Arnaud, bassoonist Pascal Gallois, hornist Jacques Deleplancque, trumpetist Antoine Curé, trombonists Jérôme Naulais and Benny Sluchin, violinist Jeanne-Marie Conquer, violist Jean Sulem, cellist Pierre Strauch, and double bassists Frédéric Stochl and Alex Bouchaud recorded the piece in July 1990. The recording was released by Erato on CD Audio in 1992 and re-released by Erato in 2000 and Warner Classics in 2007.

Wandering Miko are a form of Miko that once existed in much of Japan.
Overview
They did not belong to a specific Shinto shrine, but made a living by traveling around the country praying, ordaining, and advocating. There were also walking maidens who doubled as Itinerant poets and prostitutes. For this reason, they are also called Shirayu-moji, another name for a prostitute, and Tabi-jo-rou. They are known as Azusa Miko, who performed oracles by sounding strings, and Kumano Higauni, who spread the Kumano faith throughout Japan.
Waka (a priestess who served a shrine called Wakamiya), Agata Shirayamamiko Moriko (the wife of a Yamabushi), and others, all of whom are said to have carried their gods with them and traveled from place to place to perform Kamado harahi and Mediumship.
Shinano Miko
A walking shrine maiden who left present-day Nagano Prefecture Tōmi City and walked throughout Japan. It is said that during the Sengoku period, Mochizuki Chiyome trained these maidens for the Kai Takeda clan and used them to gather information. This is sometimes referred to as the Kunoichi.
Origins
According to Kunio Yanagita, she was originally a priestess of the Suwa Shrine called Nonou (from the call or scripture), and traveled around the country as a preacher of the Suwa faith.
The Fall to Prostitution
As her passion for the gods faded, she established a community of shrine maidens around the village of Nezu, and according to Yanagida, she later wandered around again as a shrine maiden performing Mediumship In many places, she is called Manchi or Mannichi (from Mannihyo), Nonou, Tabi-niro (Niigata), Iinawa or Iitsuna (under Kyoto Prefecture), Kongarasama (Okayama Prefecture, because her dance resembles Whirligig beetle), Oshihe, Tohjibanashi (Shimane Prefecture), Naoshi (Hiroshima Prefecture), and Naoshi (Hiroshima Prefecture). They were beautiful women between the ages of seventeen and eight, and in their thirties. They appeared in various places from the Kanto to the Kinki region, and went around asking people to talk to them. They were said to have appeared in various places from the Kanto region to the Kinki region, and to have gone around saying, "Would you like to speak to the shrine maidens?" They were dressed in a small box called a gaiho-bako, wrapped in a navy blue furoshiki (wrapping cloth) sewn into a boat shape, and carried on their backs.
The ritual is to pour water with withered leaves into a box called a gaihou box, and then lie face down.I went. The gods inside are not certain, but according to Ichiro Hori, there was "a five-inch statue of Kukunouchi (a scarecrow with a bow), a wooden statue of Kiboko (a man and a woman combined), a one-inch Buddha, a dried cat head, a white dog skull, dolls, and straw dolls.There are records.
From New Year's Day of the lunar calendar to April, he would leave Nonou Koji in the old Nishi-machi of Nemitsu Village, travel to various places to work, and return by New Year's Eve at the latest. When he returned, he would perform a cold purification ceremony.
During the pilgrimage, the head of each shrine maiden village, called "Kahenushi" or "Boppoku", would scout out beautiful girls between the ages of 8 or 9 and 15 or 6 from various places (from Kanto to Kishu, mainly from Mino and Hida), either as a fixed age or as an adopted daughter. They were scouted and brought back to Shinshu to be trained by a senior nonou for three to five years before becoming a full-fledged master. According to Kenichi Tanigawa and Taro Nakayama, they were welcomed by the locals when they visited various places with a few things, and according to Nakayama, there is even a legend that "a Shinano priest is as rich as a spear (1,000 stones), and his luggage is carried by a specialist, so he can walk around without bills.Of course, this was only because he was in the secular world, so he often "spread the money around" generously.
They came to Kansai (near Kawachinagano City) until around the early Meiji era.

Shearing is a kind of mechanical finish in which the appearance of the fabric is enhanced by cutting the loops or raised surface to a uniform and even height. The machine may have a spiral blade similar to a grass cutting machine. A Shearing machine can cut the loop or the pile to a desired level. Shearing was most commonly used to make woolens and worsted materials. It was a part of dry finishing of woolen and worsted goods. Previously, shearing was also a component of gigging or napping; when partially produced goods were exposed to shear in order to improve the impact of gigging or napping, the process was referred to as "cropping."
History
Most of the Medieval clothing and textiles were processed and finished manually. The finishing of English Woolens includes shearing. Shearmen were skilled artisans who used to shear the fabric by hand. Shearman's job was to nap the cloth manually, using teasels and shears to trim the pile. A silky and smooth feeling was produced by the gradual lowering of the nap. The process was referred to as "dry shearing." It was used to be an expensive and lengthy process compared to the "wet shearing" that was a rough process. During the early 17th century, two shearmen spent two weeks dry shearing three broadcloths.
Shearing machine
"Shearing machine" is a machine equipped with shearing cylinder, ledger blade, fluff exhaust, and joint seam sensors. The machine operates similarly to a lawn mower. Seam joint sensors prevent seams from being cut.
Advantages
Moleskin and velvet are sheared materials in which pile is cut to a certain level. Other than imparting an aesthetic finish. Shearing was also used to cut certain deformations, unwanted surface defects such as protruding yarns. In the case of polyester blends, a shearing machine is also useful for removing surface beads or naps of dyed fibers.
Sculptured effect
Shearing can also create certain effects, sculpted effects are achieved by flattening sections of the pile with an engraved roller and then shearing off the remaining upright sections. Flattened portions are then steamed and raised.
Embossed velvet and plush are created by weaving the pile high and shearing it to various levels, or by pressing a portion of the pile flat.

The Búrfell hydroelectric power plant (Búrfellsstöð or Búrfellsvirkjun in Icelandic) is a run-of-river hydroelectric power plant located in the Þjórsá valley in southwest Iceland. It is operated by Landsvirkjun. It was, since its construction in 1969, until the construction of the Kárahnjúka power plant in 2008, the largest power plant in Iceland with a capacity of 270 MW (increased to 370 MW in 2018).
It was mainly built to supply electricity to an aluminum factory located in Straumsvík, 3 km west of Hafnarfjörður.
History
The idea of harnessing the energy of the Þjórsá River at Búrfell Mountain was proposed in 1917. For two years, the Norwegian engineer Gotfred Sætersmoen conducted a study on the development of hydroelectricity in the Þjórsá region. He proposed five stations, Búrfell being by far the most important.
In 1960, the project was seriously considered. A project of this magnitude could be economically very interesting if the electricity could be used quickly, but Icelandic consumption was not increasing fast enough to make the project viable. The country then had the idea of supplying this electricity to energy-intensive industries. In 1966, an agreement was signed with Alusuisse for the construction of the aluminum plant in Straumsvík and the green light was given for the plant.
Construction began in June 1966. The power plant started to deliver its power in 1969, with the commissioning of 3 turbines of 35 MW each. The capacity was doubled in 1972 with the commissioning of the last three turbines, bringing the installed power to 210 W. The plant was renovated between 1997 and 1999, bringing its capacity to 270 MW.
Extension
In the 2010s, the project has undergone an important extension, with the construction by Landsvirkjun of a second hydroelectric power station not far from the existing one. This is a response to the observed increase in the flow of the Þjórsá: it is indeed fed in large part by meltwater from glaciers, whose volume is increasing due to global warming. The average flow of Icelandic rivers should increase by 15% between 2015 and 2050.
Work on the extension, named Búrfell II, began in the spring of 2016 and will last two years. With an installed capacity of 100 MW, the plant was inaugurated on June 28, 2018, in the presence of Icelandic President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.
Specifications
Dam
The power station exploits a catchment area of 6,400 km2, offering an average annual flow of 340 m3/s. A 370 m long dam diverts the course of the Þjórsá, which used to flow around the Búrfell mountain from the south. It gave birth to a small reservoir, Lake Bjarnalón, with an area of 1.18 km2. Its altitude fluctuates between 241 and 247 m.
Búrfell I Power Plant
From the Bjarnalón lake, the water reaches a 1,564 m long and 10 m diameter intake gallery. After a 115 m drop in a pressurized penstock, it reaches the power plant where it drives 6 Francis turbines of 45 MW each. The total equipment flow is 300 m3/s. The water is then released near Hjálparfoss, where it joins the Þjórsá and returns to its normal course. The electricity production reaches an average of 2,300 GWh/year.
Búrfell II Power Plant
The second plant is underground and has a single 100 MW Francis turbine supplied by Andritz. However, the plant is designed to accommodate an additional 40 MW in the future. The water, which comes from the same reservoir as for the historical power plant, flows through a 370 m long intake tunnel and then drops 110 m into the penstock. The turbinable flow is 92 m3/s. At the outlet of the power station, it is evacuated via a 450 m long escape tunnel, then rejoins the main course of the Þjórsá via a 2.2 km long canal.
The electrical production of the extension should be around 300 GWh/year.

Miko costumes are the clothing worn by Mikos in Shintoism.
Normally, there are no specific regulations for miko costumes, and each Shinto shrine uses costumes based on its own traditions. Although often confused with miko, there are also women among the Shinto priests. There are also women in the Kannushis, also known as "joshi shinto". The Shinto priests are often confused with miko (priestesses), but there are also women in the Kannushi.
This section describes the costumes of priestesses who serve in rituals.
Although it is not the same thing as cosplay, there are examples of female staff members wearing miko costumes at Buddhist temples, such as at the non-Buddhist Sano Yakuzuke Daishi Video footage.
Overview
The traditional costume for shrine maidens is a white Kosode (white robe) with a scarlet hakama. The combination of kosode and hakama is considered to be the working clothes of shrines for both men and women, and they do not serve in this manner. The Shinto priests also wear this outfit under their formal attire. Yellow sumac dye, the color of the Emperor of Japan, and yellow tan, the color of the Crown prince, are forbidden to be used in costumes as "forbidden colors," and dull and gray colors used for funerals are also forbidden to be used.。
The shrine maiden's costume is to be handled with care, and the three principles of "Don't throw it" (don't take it off), "Don't put it down" (fold it immediately after putting it on and taking it off), and "Don't step over it" (stepping over it is an act of disrespect to the gods) are emphasized, and the costume is taught to be "treated like a bill (Amulet).。
Costume Composition
White robe (hakue/biakue/shiraginu)
The white robe worn on the upper half of the body is a white kosode, with sleeves the length of a tome sleeve.。Originally, Koshi sleeves were Underwear to be worn under daily clothing.、The red collar sometimes seen around the neck is a decorative collar (kake-eri)/date collar (date-eri).、It is just a piece of cloth that is placed between the white clothing and the underwear in the style of Kouchiki's Nakabe.
To avoid confusion with the so-called White Coat=White clothing, which is used for experiments and medical purposes, white clothing is rarely called "Hakui", and is mostly called "Hakue", "Byakue" or "Shiraginu".
When wearing a white robe, a koshimaki, which is the undergarment, and a hada-juban are worn before the robe. The koshimaki protects the lower half of the body and prevents the hem of the costume from getting caught in the Legs, hence the nicknames "hem-yoke" and "kedashi. On top of this, the upper half of the body is covered with a skin undershirt, which is tied with a cord-like white belt at the area below the ribs (Chest). The collar is placed so that the left side of the collar is up when viewed from oneself. Normally, a half undershirt is used, but in cooler months, a long undershirt that goes below the knees may be added. Today, it is permitted to wear Western-style underwear under the waistband and undershirt.
After the loincloth is put on, the white robe is put on. The white belt is tied below the white belt of the undershirt and hidden by the hakama belt, so that the short sleeves of the undershirt can be seen.
In the old days, the white belt was a white string, but in modern times, it is a wide, elastic band, which is secured with hook-and-loop fastener.
Hibakama
The scarlet hakama, which covers the lower half of the body, is, as the name implies, a scarlet Hakama, but in actuality scarlet or vermilion is used, with the Kotohira-gū. At Kotohira-gū, dark purples are used, and at some shrines, those who have retired from the front line of shrine maidens and remain as clerks wear greens or dark blue hakama.
The Scarlet Hakama was originally a gusseted hakama used by wives and aristocratic women in the Heian period.。Originally, the long hakama covered the ankles, but this was completely designed for indoor use, and it was impossible to stand and walk without kicking up the hem.
。Priestesses use the kiribakama, a type of hakama for urn costumes used when going out for worship such as Kumano-mode pilgrimages.
In Meiji (era), the educator Utako Shimoda invented the Hakama for female students, which was so popular and easy to put on and take off that it was later introduced to the field of miko.。In modern times, however, Shinto priests, including female Shinto priests, wear traditional hakama with gake-like gussets, and in some shrines, priestesses also wear hakama with gake-like gussets. Some shrines also require their priestesses to wear hakama with gussets. Some shrines also use oguchi hakama.。
Like the original scarlet hakama for female courtesans, the lower part of the waist is decorated with six long and seven short white "usawashiito"/sashinui.。Contrary to the name of the upper finger thread, this stitch is quite thick to be called a "thread", and two sets of twisted "strings" are used.。Unlike martial arts hakama, the Hika Hakama does not have a waistboard. However, the front and back of the hakama are made with a stiff core that serves as a waist board to prevent the hakama from falling apart.
The hakama is divided into front and back sections. After putting the legs through the hakama, the front section is adjusted so that it sits high on the hips, and the back section is adjusted by hooking the front section with a spatula (some scarlet hakama do not have a spatula).。At this point, the knot should be slightly lowered to show the white upper finger thread in front.
。Some shrines also cover the knot with an obi (such as Tsurugaoka Hachimangū).
The length of the obi is longer in the front and shorter in the back, but is usually equal on both sides. However, in the traditional twisted gake-hakama, the obi is different in length on both sides. As mentioned above, the obi is not tied in the front, but is tied with a single hook down the right side, and no waistband is used to secure it.
The fabric used to be Silk, but after 1970s, there are many poplins and chemical fibers that are easy to wash. The tailoring is a single-clothed tailoring only on the table (freshly made). There are two types of awase tailoring with lining (freshly combined). The awase tailoring is for winter only, but the single clothing tailoring is often for the whole year.
Chihaya
hen a shrine maiden serves a Shinto ritual or performs a shrine maiden dance or Kagura, she wears a Chihaya over the top.。
The Chihaya has been used since Ancient times, but originally it was just a plain white silk cloth with a vertical cut in the middle. Later, it was made up of two widths of silk as a costume for female officials, and it became a style of clothing in which the sides were not sewn and the front was held together with a munahimo, and then sleeves were added and only the base of the shoulder sleeves were sewn in the current style.。The sleeves of Chihaya's kimono do not have kukuri-himo or dewdrops, which are often seen in manga and other creative works.
Normally, the sleeves are made of thin white silk with a thin pattern on it, and only a vermilion chest cord is loosely fastened, leaving the sides of the sleeves and the sides of the body below the armpits unstitched and open. However, depending on the content of the ceremony in which they are to participate (for example, the performance of a shrine maiden dance), Chihaya with more ornate colors and patterns may be used.。In addition, the sleeves, back, and the roots of the chest strap are decorated with vermilion chrysanthemum binding.
The design of the Chihaya is called "Aozuri", and "Crane", "Turtle", "Pine", "Chrysanthemum" are often painted in green. In some cases, the God's crest, Cherry blossom, and Plum of the shrine are painted in vermilion or peach.
The fabric is originally silk, but nowadays most of them are made of synthetic fiber. The fabric is thicker than it looks, and extremely thin fabrics such as gauze, which can always be seen through the fabric, are usually not used.
Suikain
In some cases, depending on the nature of the ritual, the mizuhoshi may be worn as a miko costume. The mizuhoshi was made a regular costume during the war when a system of female priesthood was established, but was later removed from the official dress code in 1987. However, even today, the mizuhoshi is sometimes used as a costume for female priests and shrine maidens.。
Mo
Mo is an ornament worn at the back of the waist in women's fine kimono. It is a cloth that is trailed from the waist to the back. It is sometimes used in the Urayasu dance and in Kagura and other Shinto rituals.
Plants and pine trees are drawn on a white background, and a long, thin piece of cloth with stitching is drawn on each side.
Haori
In cold climates, miko's haori may be used to protect against the cold. Wool-lined haori are widely available.。
Mizuhiki, Takenaga
The long black hair of a miko is often considered part of her costume and she is required to maintain it. The shrine maidens tie their long black hair into a bundle at the back of the head and tie it up with mizuhiki, or tie it up with mizuhiki. Mizuhiki is a thin twisted paper twisted with glue, dried and hardened, and usually several strands are put together and dyed different colors from the center, but in the case of miko, it is red and white or all white. For the miko, the color is red and white, while the joucho is white or a combination of gold, silver, red and red.
In addition to this, depending on the content of the ritual, a highly decorative hair clip may be worn. If the length of the hair is short, a hairpiece may be added to add length to the hair and then covered with a hair clip.。
In Kanda Shrine, instead of these, she wears her hair back in a purple-colored bag-like hair clip called "Murasaki" (purple).
。
Footwear
Priestesses wear Tabi on their feet, while priestesses wear zori or white wooden (or black lacquered) geta (with red or white nosebands), and female priestesses wear black lacquered wooden shoes called asagutsu. Nowadays, synthetic materials are allowed to be used as long as they have a good appearance.。
In winter, she wears a double layer of tabi socks to protect herself from the cold, and sometimes puts a hand warmer on the inside of her tabi socks.
。
Headdress
Head ornaments such as hairpins and crowns, represented by flower ornaments, hairpins, and ori-eda, are used to decorate the head during ceremonies. The ornate hairpin and its ancestor, the kasashira, have elements of both a hair clip and a hair ornament, and are said to be remnants of the ancient practice of pointing flowers and twigs on the head to bring in the spiritual power of trees (nowadays they are often made of artificial flowers or metal).
The crown was originally a sign of status, but female priests used sai sai and priestesses wore tengan (heavenly crown) when dancing. There are two types of crowns: one is a full crown and the other is a Tiara-shaped crown, and the latter is called Maetengan.
The latter is called Mae Tenkan (Mae Tengan). In the case of female Shinto priests, Nuka-ate (forehead covering) may be worn depending on the ritual.。
Also, at shrines where Ebisu-kou is held, such as Osaka Tenmangū, Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, dressed in miko costumes, sometimes wears a gold Ebisu hat.
Torimono
When a shrine maiden performs a ritual or dance, she may use a prop called a torimono in her hand. The ritual of handing a torimono from a priestess to a dancer during a Kagura dance is called "Takarimode".
The items are sakaki, Gohei, staff, sasa, yumi, which are also used in court rituals, sword, hoko yari, , kudzu (kadsura), but depending on the shrine, bells, fans, and trays are also widely used. However, in some shrines, bells, fans, and trays are also widely used.。
Kagura-zuzu bells are made to look like ears of rice. There are also hoko-suzu, also known as hokosaki-mai-suzu, which resemble spears. There are also tesuzu (hand bells) with handles. Kagura bells have 15 bells (3, 5, and 7 from the top), Hokosuzu have 8 bells under the tsuba, and Tezuzu have 1 bell at the end of the handle. Kagura bells and hoko bells often have a five-colored hanging cloth (bell cord) attached to the bottom of the handle.
Among the Hiogi, the female is used as the fan. An auspicious painting of white sand and blue pine is drawn, and artificial flowers and braids are attached to the ends.。
Sake vessels, etc.
Although not included in the collection, there are Sake sets used by shrine maidens to hold Omiki, Toso, and other rituals such as Wedding.。
Choshi (sake bottle) and heishi (ceramic bottle) are used for pouring sake. Choshi for Shinto rituals are made of metal and are not the so-called tokuri made of ceramic. Choshi are double-sided choshi with handles. They are made of tin, copper or brass, and are decorated with Engraving and finished with gold leaf or gilding.。For happy occasions, the top of the choshi (sake bottle) is sometimes decorated with twigs of pine needles or red and white mizuhiki.
The recipient's sake cup can be a cup or a square. Cups are usually made of pottery or lacquerware, but in ancient times they were made of unglazed earthenware (kawarake) and were disposable.
In some shrines, priestesses carry Kinchaku to carry their personal belongings.
Female priesthood
After the Meiji Restoration, the government excluded women from the priesthood, but due to the shortage of priesthoods during World War II and after the war, they had to allow female priesthoods. However, due to the shortage of priesthoods between World War II and the end of the war, they were forced to allow female priesthoods. However, later on, for the sake of activity as a Shinto priest, they added the elements of Koshiro's costume and adopted white cloth with twisted gusset hakama and Omoshiro and Karagoromo on top of it as the formal clothes. In 1987, as mentioned above, the mizuhoshi was abolished and the omote-gown was used as the regular attire.。

Externalization is efforts by wealthy, developed countries to prevent asylum seekers and other migrants from reaching their borders, often by enlisting third countries or private entities. Externalization is used by Australia, Canada, the United States, and the European Union. Although less visible than physical barriers at international borders, externalization controls restrict mobility in ways that are out of sight and far from the country's border. Examples include visa restrictions, sanctions for carriers who transport asylum seekers, and agreements with source and transit countries. Consequences often include increased irregular migration, human smuggling, and border deaths.
History
According to sociologist David Scott FitzGerald, "Measures to keep people from reaching sanctuary are as old as the asylum tradition itself." The main technologies of externalization were developed in the 1930s and 1940s in order to reduce the number of Jewish refugees arriving in the Americas and Mandatory Palestine. After World War II, many countries were ashamed of their failure to protect Jewish refugees, and adopted the norm of non-refoulment rejecting the return of refugees to countries where they would face persecution. Since 1994, the number of refugees resettled has consistently been below 1 percent of those eligible. Most refugees can only hope to receive asylum in a Global North country by physically traveling there and applying for asylum. FitzGerald argues that any territorial system of asylum creates an incentive to reduce the number of claimants through externalization. State practices of externalization by developed countries proliferated through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
Motivation
Fitzgerald argues that "Keeping refugees at a distance is a public relations scheme to render them invisible so their plight can be ignored", and also attempts to evade legally binding human rights obligations. Externalization policies are often "specifically designed to avoid any direct jurisdictional links to the sponsoring State, at whose behest controls are carried out". According to legal scholar Ioannis Kalpouzos, the desire to avoid migration and legal accountability has "led to an increasingly sophisticated set of practices the aim of which is to avoid, outsource, and distance responsibility, accountability, and liability". According to one estimate, asylum claims in nineteen countries were reduced by 17 percent because of externalization. In some countries, externalization combined with geographical isolation can reduce unauthorized arrivals to nearly zero, but these policies are much less effective in Europe due to the long land border and proximity to Turkey and North Africa. Legal scholars Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen and Nikolas Tan argue that deterring asylum seekers "is not sustainable in the long term, or even perhaps in the medium term" because of increasing financial costs, lack of effectiveness, and legal challenges.
Effects
According to The Oxford Handbook of International Refugee Law, "Extraterritorial migration control represents a fundamental challenge to refugees’ ability to access asylum". FitzGerald describes the case of Alan Kurdi, a young Syrian refugee who drowned while trying to reach Europe, as a case of the externalization system "working as designed". Instead of the common term irregular, some sources use the term irregularized migration to indicate the outcome of state policies that prevent other forms of entry. Professor Thomas Spijkerboer argues that denial of access to the global mobility infrastructure has led to the emergence of a shadow mobility infrastructure. "If we take border deaths as a measure of the incidence of the reliance on this shadow mobility infrastructure, the conclusion would be that human smuggling has increased consistently with increased control over the access to the global mobility infrastructure." Several studies have found that "perhaps the key single determinant of smuggling at sea, and the deaths that result from dangerous transport, especially across the Mediterranean, is the closing down of legal options for air travel and entry to Europe" and visa restrictions.
FitzGerald states that "smugglers can be blamed for deaths and abuses rather than the government policies that leave refugees seeking safety with few choices"; a tactic used by governments since Jews were trying to escape from Europe during World War II. In the Mediterranean, expansion of externalization did not end irregular migration but simply redirected it to alternate routes and more dangerous pathways. The Australian researchers Antje Missbach and Melissa Phillips state that "the growing prevalence of irregular migration is a direct result of the imposition of restrictions on legal migration through barriers, walls, security, and surveillance measures and deterrents".
Empirical studies in several countries have found that anti-migration policies increase the number of people residing irregularly. This is because the majority of people residing irregularly in many Global North countries arrived legally and overstayed their visa. Efforts to make border crossing more difficult may promote permanent settlement in place of earlier patterns of temporary migration.
Types
Visa restrictions and carrier sanctions
There is a strong correlation between visa restrictions and the number of refugees from a country; all of the world's ten largest producers of refugees are also among those with the strictest visa requirements. Because visa restrictions are applied to all countries whose nationals are usually recognized as refugees when they apply for asylum, FitzGerald states that "the main goal of the visa policies is not to restrict asylum seekers without valid claims, but to keep out people even if they are refugees".
Carrier sanctions impose penalties on transportation companies, such as passenger shipping and airlines, who carry unauthorized passengers without a valid visa. For people entitled to refugee protection who are unable to reach the destination country because of carrier sanctions, there are two possibilities: either they are denied refugee protection or embark on irregular migration, which carries the risk of death. According to researchers Theodore Baird and Thomas Spijkerboer, the visa and carrier sanctions regime could be abolished by insisting that all border control is done at the actual border, by state agents instead of private companies.
Marketing
Another form of externalization is marketing campaigns aimed at people who are considering irregular migration to discourage them. The United States is known for deceptive campaigns that mislead viewers as to their origin.
Interdiction of boats in international waters
Another form of externalization is the interception of boats in international waters to prevent them from reaching the destination country. The interception may be done by boats belonging to the country trying to control migration, in the form of maritime pushbacks, or by a third country, in which case they are pullbacks. Some international requirements require boat patrols by transit countries such as Morocco, which is of doubtful compliance with international human rights law. Intercepting people who try to leave a country can violate the right to leave any country, an internationally recognized human right. Although many states justify their interventions in humanitarian language, "offshore enforcement by any other name continues to be highly correlated with migrant deaths".
Human rights abuses that occur at sea are difficult and expensive for rights organizations or investigative journalists to monitor. In the mid-2010s, such efforts by NGOs in the Mediterranean led to a strong state crackdown; FitzGerald argues that "the fact that governments try so hard to avoid [monitoring] suggests that it is having some effect".
Agreements with third countries
Cooperation in externalization can be voluntary, but it often involves the coercive and neocolonial exploitation of power imbalance by Global North countries. A limitation on the success of agreements with source and transit countries to restrict is that these countries' values and interests do not necessarily coincide with the states trying to restrict access. For example, supporters of anti-immigration in the Global North typically want to limit all external immigration which limits the visa and immigration liberalization they are willing to offer to transit countries in exchange with their cooperation. Another obstacle is that many African and Latin American countries support freedom of movement for economic and political reasons and therefore complying with externalization policies can threaten their core interest. During the 2010s, externalization policies increasingly extended beyond neighboring countries to those farther away in Africa, the Middle East, and Central America. The reliance on externalization in migration control makes the destination countries dependent on the ability and willingness of other countries to cooperate.
FitzGerald argues that third-country agreements to constrain migration can have upsides for human rights protection. In general, in order to maintain the appearance of compliance with human rights, the most severe abuses must be avoided. He notes that "paying and training undemocratic buffer states to carry out abusive policies, are less effective when their secret violence becomes public knowledge" via exposure by journalists and human rights activists. The irregularization of migrants in transit countries leaves them more vulnerable to violence including extortion, robbery, rape, and murder; systematic human rights abuses have been reported. For example, Vasja Badalič states that "the EU supports, and relies on, Tunisia’s systemic violations of human rights in order to prevent irregular migrants from reaching the EU".
States that encourage human rights abuses abroad can be considered legally responsible or complicit in these abuses. An example of human rights violations occurring in third countries at the behest of immigration-restricting states is the establishment of camps at Manus Island and Nauru at Australia's request. Between 2015 and 2021, the EU paid the Libyan Coast Guard, an EU proxy force, $455 million. The European Union's partners in Libya have been documented engaging in human trafficking, slavery, torture, and other rights violations. A 2021 United Nations fact-finding report found that abuses against migrants in Libya by state and non-state actors, including the Libyan Coast Guard, are likely to amount to crimes against humanity. A 2021 investigation by The Outlaw Ocean Project and The New Yorker found that "The E.U. pays for almost every aspect of Libya's often lethal migrant detention system", including body bags. Libya's former justice minister, Salah Marghani, commented that the goal of Europe's externalization policies is to "Make Libya the disguise for their policies while the good humans of Europe say they are offering money to help make this hellish system safer." The anti-migration policies can have permanent effects on countries that cooperate in them. Risks include violence against migrants and increased instability and corruption.
Agreements to allow deportation of either their own nationals or nationals of other countries that pass through are strongly opposed by the citizens of many African countries. Despite strong pressure, the African Union opposes all involuntary returns. The Cotonou Agreement expired in early 2020 and has not been replaced because of differences between the European Union and the African Union on deportation. Many Africans oppose deportation because it is considered inhumane, threatens their access to remittances from family members living abroad, and exacerbates already high youth unemployment. There is little incentive to cooperate in readmission because remittances are higher than foreign and development aid combined for most low- and middle-income countries. The European Union's programs to reintegrate returned migrants have been mostly ineffective. A 2021 study found that formal and informal readmission agreements had little effect on the return rate.

The S-mount is a standard lens mount used in various surveillance CCTV cameras and webcams. It uses a male metric M12 thread with 0.5 mm pitch on the lens and a corresponding female thread on the lens mount; thus an S-mount lens is sometimes called an "M12 lens". Because the lens mounts are usually attached directly to the PCB of the sensor, the standard is often called "board lens". The supported sensor formats range from smaller than 1/6-inch type up to 1-inch having an 16mm diagonal sensor. The lenses lack an iris control. S-mount lenses do not have a flange and therefore there is no fixed lens to sensor distance and they must be adjusted to focus.

Irati Idiakez López (born 22 October 1996) is a Spanish para-snowboarder who competes in the SB-UL category.
Early life
Idiakez played football at a young age, then took part in sports courses in her home town of Getaria. She was not close to snowboarding until a bus accident in Chile in 2017 changed her life. She lost her right arm in that unfortunate accident. After surgery and still in rehab, she began searching for information. In order not to have any imbalances in her body, Idiakez was told that it was very important to do sports, and she turned to the Basque Adapted Sports Federation. Shortly afterwards, she received a call from the Royal Spanish Winter Sports Federation saying that they knew she had an accident and that she wanted to try them out. They organized a stay in Baqueira-Beret near Lleida, Catalonia. Until then, she didn't even realized para-snowboarding existed.
Career
Idiakez won the silver medal in the women's dual banked slalom at the 2021 World Para Snow Sports Championships held in Lillehammer, Norway. She also competed in the women's snowboard cross event where she was disqualified.

Nipekamew River is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river's source is Nipekamew Lake at the north-western edge of the Cub Hills and its mouth is in Nipekamew Bay at the southern shore of Lac la Ronge. From the northern tip of Nipekamew Lake, the river travels from south to north through muskeg and boreal forest en route to Lac la Ronge. Lake la Ronge empties north into the Churchill River through Rapid River.
Nipekamew River is in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and the only highway to cross the river is Highway 165. Highway 912 parallels the river from Nipekamew Lake to Wapawekka Lake and Lac la Ronge. Adjacent to the mouth of the river is Fox Point Indian Reserve.
The upper reaches of the river's watershed include East Trout Lake, tributaries from the hills of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park, Nipekamew Creek, and tributaries from the Cub Hills.
Nipekamew Sand Cliffs
Along the course of river are the provincially protected Nipekamew Sand Cliffs. The sand cliffs are made up of layers of compacted sand, pebble, and clay that were deposited there 120 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period. Erosion by the Nipekamew River exposed the cliffs. The cliffs can be accessed from a 1.5 kilometre hiking trail that starts off of Highway 165.

Antoni Michał Nowak-Przygodzki (15 May 1897, near Krakow – 4 January 1959, Paris) was a lawyer, a political activist, and a leading figure of the Polish anticommunist exile in France.
Life
Born in 1897 near Krakow, he took part in World War I and later in the Polish–Ukrainian War. He also fought in the Soviet-Polish War as a lieutenant alongside General Józef Piłsudski. In recognition for his efforts, he was awarded the Cross of Valour in 1921. After completing a Ph.D. in 1919, he became a Professor of Law, he started conducting research, and he opened his own firm. In 1919, he got married to Zofia Gumowska, with whom he would have four children.
During World War II, he was not mobilized, but he became responsible for the handling of refugees coming to Lviv. After the arrival of the Red Army, he joined the underground resistance in September 1939 due to his prewar activities and left for Warsaw in the fall of 1940. He participated in Warsaw uprising and, after the defeat, he was sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After his liberation by the British, he was charged with cultural and education tasks in the British zone of occupation in Germany until his demobilisation in 1947.
After the war, he settled in France. Close to the circle of Polish intellectuals connected to the exile magazine Kultura and the Institut littéraire in Maisons-Laffitte, he was a contributor for the journal Zeszytów Historycznych. He was also member and later Vicepresident of the Union of Polish War Refugees. In 1949, August Zaleski, President of the Polish Republic in Exile, named him member of the National Council of Poland established in London. From 1950 onwards, he was also active as an academic and teacher in different institutions such as Polish Historical and Literary Society in Paris and the Free Europe University in Exile in Strasbourg, until his death in 1959.

The CL Bay 11a and CL Bay 14a were a class of open coach built for the Bavarian branch lines (Lokalbahn in the early 20th century. They were listed under Design Sheet 554 in the 1913 Fleet Register of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.). In the engineering register of the Deutsche Reichsbahn they were listed as the Class CL Bay 14II under Sheet No. 6056.3.
Development
With the growth of the Lokalbahn branch line network in Bavaria, there was a need for suitable coaches for local passenger services. Between 1909 and 1929, coaches were procured that had the characteristics of normal passenger coaches for mainline railways. In contrast to other branch line coaches, these were suitable for military transport.
Procurement
In total, in the period between 1909 and 1929, 411 class BL, BCL, CL, DL and PPostL coaches were procured. They all had a standard floor plan, open end-platforms with Dixi gates on the steps and gangways protected only by a single iron railing. Large window panes were installed instead of the composite windows that had been usual up to that point. Between 1911 and 1914, 36 coaches built to Design Sheet 554 were procured in a total of five batches from the companies of MAN in Nuremberg and Rathgeber in Munich.
Career
The whereabouts of three coaches could no longer be determined after the end of the Second World War in 1945. The remainder of the coaches went into the Deutsche Bundesbahn, where they were retired by 1962.
Design features
Undercarriage
The underframe of the coach was made entirely of riveted steel beams. The outer side beams were U-shaped with outward facing flanges. The crossbeams were also made of U-profiles and not cranked. The wagons had screw couplings of VDEV design as coupling equipment. The drawbar ran the length of the vehicle and was spring-loaded in the middle. The coaches had slotted cylinder buffers with an installation length of 650 millimetres, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 millimetres. The coaches built to Design Sheet 6056.3 had shorter platforms which resulted in a shorter length over buffers.
Running gear
The coaches had riveted half-timbered axle holders of VDEV design. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels were spoked. Due to the long wheelbase of 6,000/6,600 millimetres, VDEV radial axles were used.
In addition to a screw brake located on one of the platforms at the end of the coach, the coaches also had air brakes of the Westinghouse type.
Body
The frame of the coach body consisted of wooden posts. This was covered with sheet metal on the outside and wood panelling on the inside. The joints of the sheets were concealed by cover strips. The roof was gently rounded and extended in a hood over the open end-platforms. The wagons had steps like those on mainline coaches and no longer the folding steps common on Lokalbahn stock.
Facilities
The CL coaches only carried 3rd class passengers and had a total of 56 seats and a toilet. The compartment opposite the toilet was separated from the central aisle by a lockable door and served as a sliding compartment for transporting prisoners. Alternatively, it could be used as a guard's compartment. A total of 20 standing places were designated for the two end-platforms. The end-platforms of coaches built to Sheet 6056.3 were shortened from 1,000 mm to 900 mm.
Lighting was provided by paraffin lamps and the coaches had steam heating. The coaches were ventilated by static roof vents and sash windows.

HMS Aurora was a 32-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. The ship was built in Chatham Dockyard and launched on 13 January 1766. She was later purchased and transferred to the East India Company in 1768.
John Monkton was recorded as serving on her prior to September 1769 but was transferred to another ship before her final voyage.
Disappearance
In September 1769, she sailed from England for the East Indies, intending to stop at Anjouan island and Bombay. After calling at the Cape of Good Hope for provisions in December 1769, she disappeared in the Indian Ocean around January 1770, presumably sunk by fire, storm or wrecked off Madagascar. It was later reported that some large anchors and cannons, likely of British manufacture were found close to Star Bank off Madagascar and these may have been from the ship.
Among those notable members of the crew who disappeared with her was Robert Pitcairn from which the Pitcairn Islands take their name. William Falconer, a noted poet and marine dictionary writer, was also among those lost at sea. He was assigned as the ship's purser.

Edwin Pearce Hardy (20 August 1892 – 31 December 1968) was an English first-class cricketer.
Born at Esholt, Hardy made two appearances for the Yorkshire 2nd XI in the 1910 Minor Counties Championship. He studied at Durham University, where he played for his college, Hatfield Hall, as well as the university side; he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1914.
Hardy represented the Europeans cricket team during the 1915 Bombay Quadrangular. He had his first-class debut against the Muslims on 9 September, where he made 36 runs not out in his only innings. In the final played four days later against the Hindus he was bowled lbw after 14 runs by Palwankar Baloo.
He played his first and last match for England on 13 December 1915, facing India as part of a scratch team of cricketing soldiers and civil servants (among them the Governor of Bombay) and scored 53 runs in what was a comfortable "England" victory.

Kleinman symmetry, named after American physicist D.A. Kleinman, gives a method of reducing the number of distinct coefficients in the rank-3 second order nonlinear optical susceptibility when the applied frequencies are much smaller than any resonant frequencies.
Formulation
Assuming an instantaneous response we can consider the second order polarisation to be given by for the applied field onto a nonlinear medium.
For a lossless medium with spatial indices we already have full permutation symmetry, where the spatial indices and frequencies are permuted simultaneously according to
In the regime where all frequencies for resonance then this response must be independent of the applied frequencies, i.e. the susceptibility should be dispersionless, and so we can permute the spatial indices without also permuting the frequency arguments.
This is the Kleinman symmetry condition.
In second harmonic generation
Kleinman symmetry in general is too strong a condition to impose, however it is useful for certain cases like in second harmonic generation (SHG). Here, it is always possible to permute the last two indices, meaning it is convenient to use the contracted notation
which is a 3x6 rank-2 tensor where the index is related to combinations of indices as shown in the figure. This notation is used in section VII of Kleinman's original work on the subject in 1962.
Note that for processes other than SHG there may be further, or fewer reduction of the number of terms required to fully describe the second order polarisation response.

Eco Wiebe Bijker (Utrecht, June 29, 1924 – Bilthoven, February 22, 2012) was a Dutch civil engineer. He was professor of coastal engineering at Delft University of Technology from 1968 until his retirement in 1989.
Career
Bijker completed studies in civil engineering at the Polytechnical School Utrecht in 1944 and at the TU Delft (with honours) in 1949. After his studies in Delft, he joined the then Waterloopkundig Laboratorium (Delft Hydraulics, nowadays Deltares), where he mainly worked in the lab "De Voorst" in the Dutch Noordoostpolder. There he successively became head of department, head of the De Voorst Laboratory and deputy director. He acquired world fame with his contributions to coastal hydraulic engineering. He conducted important research into the scaling rules for coastal models and developed his formula for wave-driven longitudinal transport along sandy coasts
This work eventually led to his PhD. He obtained his PhD in Technical Sciences for his dissertation Some considerations about scales for coastal models with movable bed with prof.ir. H.J. Schoemaker.
As early as 1957, Bijker became involved in education as a teacher at the then International Course (now UNESCO-IHE). He fulfilled this task for 40 years and thus contributed significantly to establishing the name of the Netherlands as a leading player in (coastal) hydraulic engineering. Through his international students, his approach, which was always based on a combination of theory and practice, was accepted and propagated all over the world. His involvement in education was greatly intensified after his appointment as professor of coastal engineering at TU Delft. He accepted this professorate with the inaugural address Varen is noodzakelijk, leven...? in 1969. Here too, he emerged as a passionate and inspiring teacher who has contributed significantly to the formation of generations of Dutch coastal hydraulic engineers for more than twenty years. He retired with his valedictory address in 1989 on The coast in a PC.
In addition to his work at TU Delft, Bijker was also closely involved in the work of the Technical Advisory Committee for Flood Defences, the CUR and the Subsidence Committee. Shortly before his retirement, Bijker organized the International Conference of Coastal Engineering in Delft in 1990. Bijker has been awarded several times, including the International Coastal Engineering Award from the ASCE and the Knight in the Danebrog Order (Denmark) award.
International
Bijker has always been strongly committed internationally. He was internationally active within the ICCE (Int. Conference on Coastal Engineering). But when the ASCE decided to host the ICCE in South Africa in 1982 (during the height of apartheid), it was one of the driving forces behind the boycott of this conference. As an alternative, the Copedec (Conference on Coastal and Port Engineering in Developing Countries) was established under the leadership (and financing) of the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Great Britain, with a secretariat in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Currently, this conference is still organized every four years, now under the auspices of the PIANC. Although this caused friction with a number of Americans in 1982, he won the International Coastal Engineering Award from the ASCE in 1986. As already mentioned, he started teaching at Unesco-IHE early in his career, and continued to do so long after his retirement (until 2000).

The Brown's Farm area is a neighborhood located within the Philippi area of Cape Town's Cape Flats region, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The urban area is densely populated and contains many informal homes. The 2011 national census recorded 71,518 residents living in the area.
History
The community was first planned out in 1986 by the Apartheid government which saw the establishment of Villages 2B, 3 and 4 with village 4A being added later. It initially had an urban density of 25 housing units per hectare. In 1994 area 4A was rapidly settled over the cause of a weekend as informal structures were erected on 500 sites during a land invasion. The area's population grew rapidly in the mid-1990s following the 1994 election.

The Labor Unit of Nurses and Health Employees (, ULEES) is a trade union of nurses and healthcare workers in Puerto Rico.
History
ULEES was founded in 1974. For a long time, the union was led by Radamés Quiñones Aponte.
In 2010, ULEES led a picket line outside a hospital in Ponce, calling for a new collective bargaining agreement.
In 2020, ULEES called on the Puerto Rican government to investigate allegations that healthcare workers were prioritising friends and administration staff for COVID-19 vaccination. In the next year, the union alleged that some hospitals made healthcare workers come in for work even while they were sick with Covid.

The History of Anglicanism in Jamaica began shortly after the conquest of the Spanish-held island of Jamaica by an English Army during the Anglo-Spanish War (1654–1660). It immediately developed a major role in the political and social structure of the colony. Although nominally under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London, the clergy
were in practice under the control of their parish vestry.
Under the Commonwealth
The military and naval forces led by Robert Venables and William Penn during their invasion were accompanied by seven clergymen, who however succumbed to the tropical fever which was responsible for around 200 deaths a day amongst the English troops.
Alongside ordering the deportation of 2,000 young people from Ireland, the Commissioners of the Navy in 1655 ordered that 2,000 bibles be supplied, presumably for their use.
Under the restored monarchy
Charles II appointed Edward D'Oyley as the first Governor of Jamaica in 1661, with instructions to ""to discourage vice and debauchery and to encourage ministers that Christianity and the Protestant religion, according to the Church of England, might have due reverence and exercise." D'Oyley, a parliamentarian officer of the New Model Army was soon replaced by Thomas, Lord Windsor.
Diocese of Jamaica
The Diocese of Jamaica was established on 24 July, 1824, with Christopher Lipscomb appointed as the first Bishop of Jamaica. He arrived in Jamaica on 11 February 1825.

Charmis of Marseilles (fl. 1st century AD) was a famous Roman physician. A native of Massilia, he came to Rome during the reign of Nero. Pliny counted him as a "completely Greek physician". He achieved great fame and fortune in Rome by introducing the practice of cold bathing, which supplanted the astrological medicine of his fellow townsman Crinas. Crinas had in turn supplanted Thessalus, who followed the principles of the Methodic school of medicine.
It is said that he charged a client two hundred thousand sesterces for his services. He also practiced outside Rome, probably in his native Massilia. After some dealings with a "sick man from the provinces" he was fined a million sesterces by Claudius, who also exiled him.
Nonetheless, according to Pliny, he quickly regained a fortune while in exile in Gaul and after his return in Rome. It is thought that Charmis of Marseilles and the "Charmes" mentioned in Galen's On Antidoctes are the same person. Thus, thanks to Galen we known that he also treated women. An antidote used by him had several benefits, including effectiveness for menstrual problems, as well as the pain-free expulsion of the embryo.

Antony Beaujon also Anthony ( 1763–17 October 1805) was a Dutch and British civil servant and politician in Guyana. He served as Governor of Demarara from May 1795 until 5 July 1802, and as Lieutenant governor of Demerara and Essequibo from 18 August 1804 until his death.
Biography
Beaujon was born in Sint Eustatius in a family of merchants. In the 1790s, he was member of the Court of Policy of the Dutch colonies Demerara and Essequibo, and served as Secretary of Demarara. On 18 January 1795, William V, Prince of Orange fled from the Netherlands, and went into exile in Great-Britain. While in exile, Willem V started writing the Kew Letters to the colonial governors urging them to submit to Great-Britain. On 23 April 1795, Governor Willem August van Sirtema, Baron van Grovestins discussed the matter with the Court of Policy, however the Patriots (Republicans) outnumbered the Orangists (traditionalists and nobility), and the colonies remained part of the Batavian Republic.
On 4 May 1795, HMS Zebra arrived in the harbour of Stabroek (nowadays: Georgetown) offering British protection against a possible French attack. The Court of Policy issued a statement that they could not accept the offer. Governor van Sirtema boarded HMS Zebra which sailed away on 6 May, and Beaujon was appointed acting Governor of Demarara. On 20 April 1796, a British fleet appeared, and on 22 April, Demerara and Essequibo surrendered to Admiral Rodney without a fight. All laws and customs of the colonies could remain, and the citizens were equal to British subjects. Any government official who swore loyalty to the British crown could remain in function. Beaujon swore an oath of allegiance, and remained in function.
Demerara fared well under British rule, exports increased substantially and the number of slaves more than doubled. The colonies were returned to the Netherlands by the Peace of Amiens. On 5 July 1802, Beaujon was dismissed, and ordered to return to the Netherlands. Fearing a hostile reception, he decided to go to England instead.
On 18 May 1803, war was declared between Great Britain and France, and on 17 September, a British fleet arrived in Demerara which capitulated the next day. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Nicholson became acting Governor. On 13 August 1804, Beaujon had returned from England, and was installed as Lieutenant governor of Demerara and Essequibo.
On 17 October 1805, Beaujon died in Stabroek, at the age of 42.

David G. Drubin is an American biologist, academic, and researcher. He is a Distinguished Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Berkeley where he holds the Ernette Comby Chair in Microbiology.
Drubin has published over 220 papers. His research spans the areas of cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry. The approaches employed for these studies include real-time imaging of live cells, genome editing, mathematical modeling, genetics, and biochemistry. His lab studies human stem cells, stem-cell derived organoids, Zebrafish, and budding yeast to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that underlie highly dynamic subcellular events.
Drubin is a Fellow of American Society for Cell Biology, and a Senior Fellow at the Allen Institute for Cell Science. He served as Editor-in-Chief for Molecular Biology of the Cell for 10 years.
Education
Drubin studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, earning, respectively, his Bachelor's and Doctoral degrees in biochemistry in 1980 and Biochemistry and Biophysics in 1985. From 1985 until 1988, he held a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Career
Following his Postdoctoral fellowship, Drubin was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1994, and became Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology in 1998.
Research
Drubin's research utilizes live-cell imaging, genetics, modeling and biochemistry to address fundamental questions concerning the cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking events in budding yeast and genome-edited human stem cells.
Molecular and Cell Biology
While isolating the gene encoding microtubule-associated tau protein, a major player in Alzheimer's disease, Drubin developed cell culture models to study its biological function. He distilled general principles for cell polarity development while defining it as the ultimate reflection of complex mechanisms that establish and maintain functionally specialized domains in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm. In a paper published in 2001, he guided establishment of a protein interaction map for cell polarity development, and determined a network of interactions that provide an integrated response of signaling proteins, the cytoskeleton, and organelles to the spatial cues that direct polarity development.
Membrane Trafficking and the Cytoskeleton
Drubin studied mutants of over 60 proteins, identifying a pathway in budding yeast in which proteins are recruited to endocytic sites, and also identified several protein modules that provide distinct functions in this pathway. He extended these studies to mammalian cells, and determined the roles of these proteins in endocytosis and cell polarity development. In the early 2000s, he outlined examples of functional cooperation between the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons, and highlighted two broad categories in this context: coordinated MT- and actin-based transport to move vesicles, organelles, and cell fate determinants; and targeting and capture of MT ends at cortical actin sites.
Actin Assembly
In his studies on actin assembly, Drubin demonstrated that although budding yeast are nonmotile, their actin filaments turn over at high rates and he defined the roles for actin in establishment and maintenance of cell polarity while using and popularizing the actin inhibitor latrunculin-A. He established that cofilin is largely responsible for actin filament high turnover rate. He conducted structure-function analysis of actin, described mutating residues involved in nucleotide hydrolysis, and also demonstrated the effects of these mutations on actin assembly in vitro and in vivo. His studies further addressed the role of nucleotide in Arp2/3 function, and highlighted several novel activators of the Arp2/3 complex, which regulates actin nucleation. He has also developed a complex actin assembly system on the surface of microbeads incubated in yeast cell extracts, and has extended this work toward reconstituting complex actin-based trafficking events on supported lipid bilayers.

Pertti Pauli llmari Palmroth (August 12, 1931] – March 29, 2020) was a Finnish shoe designer and shoe manufacturer specialized in the design of high quality women's shoes and boots.
Career
Pertti Palmroth was born in 1931 in Pirkkala. His parents were shoe manufacturer Pentti Palmroth and his wife Alli Mandell. With the objective to learn the technical side of footwear, Pertti and his older brother Juhani Palmroth travelled to Northampton, UK, where they both graduated as footwear technicians. After England, they studied one year in Technische Schuhfachschule von Pirmasens in Germany In England Pertti Palmroth was impressed by the world of haute couture and he decided to specialize in the design of high quality women's shoes and boots.
After they came back to Finland Pertti Palmroth began designing women's shoes and boots in his fathers factory. At the age of 21 he designed his first own shoe in the autumn of 1952 for the Miss Universum contestant Miss Finland Armi Kuusela. Armi Kuusela was that year the first Finnish contestant to win the Miss Universe title. After the victory the Viva sandals became a hit in Finland. In the early 1960s Pertti Palmroth took his collection that was made in his fathers factory and travelled to Sweden, France, the US and Canada and many other countries. At the time it was a risky venture. But the collection was received well, Products were sold to designer Christian Dior in Paris, appeared in the US Vogue and the shoes were sold in department stores like Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods and many boutiques all over Europe and North America.
A new factory was built in Waalwijk in the Netherlands for the international market, and it served as a base for the sales to Western Europe and North America.
After his father Pentti Palmroth died in the fall of 1968, the two sons Juhani and Pertti ran the factories together, but later decided to divide the factories. In 1969 Pertti Palmroth began his work as CEO of Hämeen kenkätehdas Oy (later Hamken Oy) and built a new shoe factory in Tampere. In 1972 he created a brand called Palmroth Original. From 1976 onwards his designs were sold under the Pertti Palmroth label. He used his signature as his brand logo. His wife Hannele also worked with him in the company and designed hand bags. The shoes were sold to places like Bloomingdales in New York.
In the beginning of 1980s he opened a shoe factory in Virrat. In 1985 he opened a store in Helsinki and the next year he started as CEO of the Pertti Palmroth Oy store chain which opened stores in Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Germany. Palmroth's designs were featured in foreign magazine like Elle, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Some Palmroth models were copied by other factories.
In 1995 Hamken Oy expanded with a new factory in Pirkkala.to produce the new waterproof collection.
In 2000 Pertti Palmroth headed a design team that consisted of his wife Hannele, shoe designer Anu Haalahti and several other members. The factories in Tampere, Virrat and Pirkkala employed about 250 persons. Exports accounted for about 60–70 percent of production and the biggest markets were in Scandinavia and North America. There were 23 brand stores globally.
In 2004, at the age of 72, Pertti Palmroth left his position as CEO of both Hamken and Pertti Palmroth Oy and an external CEO was hired to continue. Pertti Palmroth continued working as the main designer. The chain had a dozen stores in Finland.
In 2007, the factory underwent a corporate restructuring due to financial losses and debt. Early 2008, son Mikko continued as the company's CEO and daughter Petrina as the operative of the domestic store chain. The resturcturing program was unable to avoid Hamken Oy and it's subsidiary Pertti Palmroth Oy closing the shoe factory and the bag factory as welll as the stores in 2011. The Palmroth brand was restarted under a new company name, Palmroth International, founded in 2012 and headed by son Mikko Palmroth who has made shoes in Finland and Portugal since 2012.
Palmroth died in 2020 in neighboring Tampere at the age of 88.

The Dundas County Militia was a Canadian Provincial Militia line regiment that was raised in Dundas County, Ontario in the 1790s. The battle honours and legacy of the Dundas Militia are perpetuated by the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders.
United Empire Loyalists and Establishment
The military history of Dundas County dates back to the early settlement days, when Loyalist veterans of the American Revolution were granted plots of land in Upper Canada and raised a local militia. The first Loyalist settlers landed in Dundas on the banks of the St Lawrence River in June 1784 and almost immediately raised a local militia force. Many of the families were German Palatines who had remained loyal to Great Britain and fought with the King's Royal Regiment of New York, Butler's Rangers, and Loyal Rangers. The oldest commission found for what would become the Dundas Militia was on June 20, 1788, when Jacob Farrand (Farran) was issued a commission to Captain by Lord Dorchester in the 'Williamsburg and Matilda Battalion of Militia'. In 1792, Dundas County was formally established by a proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, and by the end of the 1790s the Dundas Militia had been formally raised within the county.
War of 1812
By 1803, the regiment had grown in size, and a report from that year lists the following officers:
Lt-Col. Allan McDonell

The 1808 report gives the following statistics of the regiment: One lt-colonel, one major, four captains, five lieutenants, six ensigns, one adjutant, one quartermaster, one surgeon, fourteen sergeants and two hundred and thirty-eight rank and file.
When the War of 1812 broke out in June 1812, the Dundas Militiamen gathered to prevent an invasion of their homeland and the companies were formed into the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia. This regiment fought throughout the war, with many men from the regiment being transferred to the Incorporated Battalion of Canadian Militia fighting in the Niagara Peninsula at the Battle of Lundy's Lane.
The principle engagements of the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia were:
Battle of Matilda – On September 16, 1812, soldiers from the 1st Dundas Militia under Captain Ault and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment were escorting a shipment of supplies from Montreal to Kingston when they were attacked near Matilda by 500 American Militia who were hiding on Toussaint Island. The Dundas militia landed on Presqu'ile Island just as an American force landed on the same and an exchange of fire occurred. The Americans were driven back and retreated to Toussaint's Island, and soon more Dundas men arrived on Presqu'ile in case of a second invasion. Col. MacDonell in command of the Dundas Militia, along with Capt. Shaver and Capt. Ault were joined by Grenville Militia and a 9-pounder artillery piece from Prescott that had originally been captured during the Battle of the Thousand Islands. After a few rounds of fire from the cannon and muskets, the Ameircans abandoned the island and retreated across the border. Canadian losses were one killed and several wounded.
First Battle of Ogdensburg – The Dundas Militia next fought at the First Battle of Ogdensburg on October 4, 1812, launching an amphibious raid from Prescott to gather supplies but being turned back by American artillery and militia.
Battle of French Mills – New York State Militia captured the British post at Akwesasne, an Indian community that straddled the St. Lawrence River in a location where the present-day borders of Ontario, Quebec and New York State intersect. It, and the nearby American post at French Mills on the Salmon River, were recaptured on November 23, 1812, by a British Canadian force, including the Dundas Militia, carrying supplies up the St. Lawrence River.
Battle of Ogdensburg – On February 22, 1813, a British Canadian force including the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia, crossed the frozen St Lawrence River and charged the American fort at Ogdensburg. The Americans fought back but were eventually forced to retreat and the British and Canadians captured the town, burning the boats and taking the artillery and military supplies back to Prescott.
Battle of Crysler's Farm – American forces under General James Wilkinson crossed the St Lawrence River and hoped to march on Montreal, but the local British and Canadian forces engaged them before they could move past Dundas County. On November 10, a force of Glengarry and Stormont Militia engaged the Americans at the Battle of Hoople's Creek and on November 11, they along with the Dundas Militia and the 49th Regiment of Foot and the 89th Regiment of Foot engaged the main American force at John Crysler's farm in Williamsburg township. John Crysler was now Lt. Col. in command of the Dundas Militia and led the regiment bravely, repelling the Americans and forcing them back into New York.
Salmon River Raid – In February 1814, the American forces near French Mills began leaving their supply depots and garrisons for Plattsburgh and Sackett's Harbor. On the 19th, a British Canadian force including the Dundas Militia crossed to the Salmon River, setting fire to the abandoned boats and barracks of the Americans, capturing considerable amounts of ammunition and supplies to bring back to Dundas.
In 1848, the Military General Service Medal was created with a clasp for Crysler's Farm and the following men were awarded the medal for service with the Dundas Militia:
Capt. John Crysler
Sgts. Peter Brouse, John Cook, John Loucks
Ptes. Nicholas L. Ault, Peter Baker, Jacob Brouse, George Cook, John Doran Frederick Laut, Peter Loucks, Angus McKay, John Pillar, Robert Redman, Conrad Kintner, Joseph Langevin, John Strader, Edward Shaver, Robert Thompson
Rebellions of 1837–1838
In 1837, the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia was reorganized into two battalions to better serve the new townships of Winchester and Mountain. The 1st Battalion would serve Winchester and Williamsburg and was commanded by Col. John Crysler and Lt. Col. J. MacDonell. The 2nd Battalion would serve Mountain and Matilda and was commanded by Col. George Merkley and Lt. Col. MacDonell.
With the outbreak of the Rebellions of 1837–1838 the Dundas Militia was again called out for defence of the county. On November 12, 1838, men of the Hunters' Lodges came ashore in Prescott and took refuge in the windmill there, and a Canadian force of Grenville Militia, Glengarry Highlanders, Incorporated Militia, and Dundas Militia were dispatched to drive them back across the St Lawrence River. At the Battle of the Windmill the Dundas Militia was commanded by Col. John Crysler and participated in the first attack on November 13 and were present for the surrender on November 16. Casualties from the Dundas Militia were four killed and seven wounded.
Killed:
Private Jeremiah Bouck
Wounded:
Lieutenant John Parlow
Private William Errington
Reorganization of the Militia
In 1842, the Dundas Militia was reorganized, being split into three battalions. The 1st Battalion would serve Williamsburg Township, the 2nd Battalion would serve Matilda Township, and the 3rd Battalion would serve Winchester and Mountain Townships.
Again in 1852 the regiment was reorganized, with the 3rd Battalion splitting into two battalions, the 3rd Battalion serving Mountain Township, and the 4th Battalion serving Winchester Township. The first two battalions remained the same.
With the passage of the Militia Act of 1855, the counties of Leeds, Dundas, Stormont and Glengarry became part of Military District No. 2.
The militia report for 1858 lists the following officers and their dates of commission:
1st Battalion (Williamsburg) – Commanded by Lt-Col. Alexander Macdonell – March 19th, 1852

1860s and Amalgamation
During the 1860s there was much fear in the counties about a possible war between Great Britain and the United States. The Trent Affair and Chesapeake Affair caused alarm and many small volunteer militia companies were raised in Dundas. In 1861, Alexander Farlinger raised a rifle company in Morrisburg. By the mid 1860s there were at least three volunteer infantry companies and one cavalry troop in Dundas:
1st Williamsburg (Dundas) Rifles – Formed on October 16th, 1856 under Captain James Holden, W. Gordon commissioned Lieutenant, W. Casselman commissioned Ensign
Dundas Company of Light Infantry – under Captain Isaac N. Rose
2nd Dundas Volunteer Infantry – Formed on January 16th, 1863 in Matilda Township under Lt-Col. Shaver.
Williamsburg Troop of Volunteer Cavalry – Formed on October 16th, 1856 under Captain George W. Brouse, J.A. Weegar commissioned Lieutenant, J.G. Merkley commissioned Cornet
As well as two volunteer artillery companies:
Volunteer Militia Foot Artillery Company of Morrisburg – under Capt. T.S. Rubidge, raised on February 14th, 1862, Lt. Henry Merkley, 2nd Lt. Guy Loucks. Reorganized as the Morrisburg Garrison Artillery in November 1865. Became No. 3 Battery, Provisional Brigade of Garrison Artillery of Prescott on October 5th, 1866. Renumbered as No. 2 Battery, Provisional Brigade of Garrison Artillery of Prescott on April 12th, 1867. The unit was disbanded on October 23rd, 1868.
Volunteer Militia Foot Artillery Company of Iroquois – Capt. Alexander McDonell, raised on 8 May 1862, Lt. Samuel Boyd. Reorganized as the Iroquois Garrison Battery in 1865. Became No. 4 Battery, Provisional Brigade of Garrison Artillery of Prescott on October 8th, 1866. Renumbered as No. 3 Battery, Provisional Brigade of Garrison Artillery of Prescott on April 12th, 1867. The untied was attached to 56th Grenville Battalion of Infantry on May 14th, 1869. Independent battery on May 10th, 1872 and disbanded, 27 March 1874.
Fenian Raids
During the Fenian Raids in 1866, the Dundas Militia and the Dundas volunteer infantry and artillery companies were called out for service along the St Lawrence River frontier, serving at Prescott and Cornwall. An attack on Prescott and subsequent advance to Ottawa was prevented by the presence of a considerable force of volunteers, including two companies from Dundas, and a British gunboat on the river. The Fenians then moved eastward to Malone and vicinity, and an attack on Cornwall was expected, but the presence of three thousand troops there again dissuaded them from attacking. On July 1st, 1866 a force of approximately 1,600 Fenians under General O'Neill appeared on the banks of the St. Lawrence across from Morrisburg. Theodore F. Chamberlain of Rose's Dundas Infantry Company was sent by personal orders from Sir John A. Macdonald to follow the Fenians and report back on their positions. After two weeks the threat of invasion was gone and Chamberlain returned to Morrisburg.
Veterans of the Fenian Raids were awarded the Canada General Service Medal and the following are names of the men from Dundas County who received the medal for service in 1866 with:
The Morrisburg Garrison Artillery:

Amalgamation
In 1869, the Dundas Militia was separated into six divisions with a total strength of 3,609 men. The Captains of the battalions were N.N. Brouse, Sidney Doran, Isaac N. Rose, John Brouse, Joseph Hyndman, and G.W. Bogart. After Canadian Confederation in 1867, the county militias were formed into infantry battalions, and the Dundas County Militia was folded into the 56th (Prescott) Battalion of Infantry, with companies at Millar's Corners and Spencerville, which became the 56th Grenville Regiment (Lisgar Rifles) in 1871.
Another Fenian Raid was launched on May 24th, 1870, and Cornwall was again filled with soldiers. The force consisted of the 59th Cornwall Battalion, 18th Hawkesbury, 41st Brockville, the Ottawa Garrison Artillery and Field Battery and the Iroquois Garrison Artillery, 1,027 men in all. For a few days excitement ran high, but the routing of the Fenians at the Battle of Pigeon Hill and Battle of Trout River forced the early disbandment of the militia. Men from Dundas County served along the St. Lawrence River during this period.
In the 1880s and 1890s, the Dundas Militia was reorganized into the 59th (Stormont and Glengarry) Battalion of Infantry with headquarters at Cornwall, which would eventually become the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders.

Nicholas de Clere, or le Clerk (died 1303) was an English-born Crown administrator in late thirteenth-century Ireland. He was a skilled man of business who achieved high office as Lord Treasurer of Ireland, but later faced serious charges of corruption, and spent most of his last years in prison.
Little is known of his family except that he had a brother William, to whom he was close, and who acted as Deputy Treasurer. He seems to have first entered the royal service in 1277 as a clergyman attached to the royal chapel in Nottingham Castle. He came to Ireland a few years later, and was custodian of the Archdiocese of Dublin, charged with its administration while the See was vacant in 1284.
In the same year he was one of four commissioners chosen by King Edward I to investigate the state of the Exchequer of Ireland. Their report on the condition of the Irish finances
was damning, and as a result serious charges of corruption were brought against the Treasurer, Stephen de Fulbourn. Stephen was relieved of his official duties, but compensated by being consecrated Archbishop of Tuam. In 1285 Nicholas became Treasurer in his stead, with a salary of 100 shillings a quarter. He and his brother flourished: Nicholas became Archdeacon of Dublin, and received livings in six dioceses.
Within a few years he was himself accused of corruption. Archbishop Fulbourn died in 1288, but in the 1290s he still had powerful relatives, notably his brother Walter de Fulburn, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who were probably at least partly responsible for the charges. Nonetheless, the charges were serous enough to be raised in the Parliament of England in the autumn of 1290, after a number of aggrieved citizens sent in petitions to Parliament. One such petition which survives
was made by John Young, a shipowner and merchant of Waterford, that Nicholas had unlawfully seized his goods to the value of £200. William de Clifford, Bishop of Emly, was another of his accusers. Nicholas was removed as Treasurer in July 1291 and following his removal an official inquiry into his accounts began in the following December. Though he could produce satisfactory answers to many of the individual charges, the overall verdict, of corruption and gross mismanagement, was similar to his own on Fulbourn: he was found to owe the Crown the very large sum of £700. The inquiry also condemned the "low cunning of the man", and in 1292 he was thrown into the Fleet Prison, where he remained for 6 years. He was finally released to find sureties for his huge debt to the King and returned to Dublin. He was not successful in finding guarantors for the debts, and in 1300 he was again imprisoned in Dublin Castle, where he spent his last years, though he may have been freed for a brief time before his death in the summer of 1303.
His fate is in notable contrast to that of Sir Walter de la Haye, the former Chief Escheator of Ireland, who faced similar charges at the same time: Haye was triumphantly acquitted, assured of the King's good regard, and died peacefully in his bed.
Nicholas' brother William was briefly imprisoned at the behest of a firm of Italian bankers, the Riccardi of Lucca,who were effectively the English Crown's bankers, and to whom he was heavily indebted (the firm failed soon afterwards, when King Edward broke with them ). In his last years managed to salvage his reputation at least in part. In 1309 he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland, but died almost at once.

The Bara Pulah Bridge or BaraPullah Bridge is a hectic-road passing by Humayun’s Tomb and Khan-i-Khana’s Tomb. Due to the increasing population and traffic problems the government announced a new Barapullah Elevated Road project at the time of the Delhi Commonwealth Games. The new over-the bridge has marginally solved the traffic problem but, it has wholly overshadowed the historic bridge which is almost invisible now and showed complete disregard to the heritage of Delhi.
This historic bridge which is barely visible today and overrun by squatters. It is now surrounded the fruit and vegetable market behind the Nizamuddin railway station. The Bridge is a monument of national importance and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.
History
The BaraPullah bridge was built by Minar Banu Agha nearly 400 years ago, and it dates back to 1600s. Historians and experts, the bridge was built under Jahangir's rule and personally commissioned by him. People say that the Mughals while returning from Agra used the bridge to cross the Yamuna river to reach Nizamuddin Dargah and Humayun's Tomb. In 1628 the road between the bridge and Humayun’s Tomb was a wide tree-lined path and this was the most beautiful bridge of Delhi.
Architecture
The bridge structure has 12 piers and 11 arches, and it is 200 metre in length.
