The 2013 Sam's Town 300 was the third stock car race of the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series and the 17th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, March 9, 2013, in North Las Vegas, Nevada at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a permanent D-shaped oval racetrack. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. Sam Hornish Jr., driving for Penske Racing, would survive two ensuing restarts and defend eventual-second Joe Gibbs Racing place driver Kyle Busch to win his second career NASCAR Nationwide Series win and his first and only win of the season. To fill out the podium, Brian Vickers of Joe Gibbs Racing would finish third.
Background
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located in Clark County, Nevada outside the Las Vegas city limits and about 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip, is a 1,200-acre (490 ha) complex of multiple tracks for motorsports racing. The complex is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., which is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Entry list
*When Chase Miller failed to qualify, Miller would replace Yeley for the race.
Practice
Originally, three practice sessions were scheduled to be held, with two on Friday and one on Saturday. However, persistent rain on Friday would cancel all activities for Friday. Instead of qualifying on Saturday, a lone practice session was held on Saturday so that drivers could practice.
The only practice session was delayed for over 40 minutes but was eventually held on Saturday, March 9, at 9:30 AM PST. Austin Dillon of Richard Childress Racing would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 30.059 and an average speed of .
Starting lineup
Qualifying was originally going to be held on Saturday, March 9, but was canceled due to persistent rain that canceled Friday's activities. As a result, NASCAR set the starting lineup by last year's owner's points for the first 36 spots, and the last four spots were determined by number of attempts made within the 2013 season.
Brian Vickers of Joe Gibbs Racing would earn the pole.

Lobbying in Canada is an activity where organizations or people outside of government attempt to influence the decision making of elected politicians or government officials at the municipal, provincial or federal level.
Lobbying has changed in Canada from a period where it was restricted to economic and social elites to the modern day, when lobbying is used as a tool by many forms of civil society organizations to advance their view for what society and government should look like, with over 5,000 people now working as registered lobbyists at Canada's federal level. Lobbying began as an unregulated profession, but since the late 20th century has been regulated by government to increase transparency and establish a set of ethics for both lobbyists, and those who will be lobbied.
History
Pre-Colonization
Scholarship on influencing of decision-makers within various First Nations is sparse. Traditions and practices likely may have varied widely from nation to nation.
Two Canadas Period
The political culture in colonial Canada was imported from the British and French traditions, including early forms of political influence such as submission of petitions, which existed from the start of Canada's parliamentary structure..
Lobbying in the early 1800s was dominated by the Family Compact and Château Clique, informal networks of the social elite, engaging in clientelism, where economic favours are exchanged for political favours, and patronage, where government posts are given out to favoured political supporters instead of by merit. The Family Compact was weakened by the 1830s reform movement in then Upper Canada, seeing irrelevance by the mid-1840s. The Château Clique was similarly irrelevant due to changes instituting responsible government in then Lower Canada, seeing irrelevance by the late 1830s. During this period, the decision-makers that lobbyists were looking to influence were unelected Lieutenant Governors in addition to their Executive Councils (usually elites appointed to upper legislative chambers). elected lower houses of legislatures, and judicial officials. There was also substantial representation of the Family compact in these institutions in Upper Canada.
In Lower Canada, the clique was led by anglophone merchants, and succeeded in abolishing the Seigneurial system, but failed to abolish civil law. The influence of the compact and clique influence was substantially lessened after responsible government reforms such as elected upper houses brought on by the Durham Report after violence between the Family Compact and it's oligopic state power and William Lyon Mackenzie's reform rebellion. Due to the close-knit informal nature of these organizations, lobbying was largely restricted to those with economic power, religious power or social status.
For example, the Bank of Upper Canada, closely associated with the Family Compacy, lobbied the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada that no other bank should be chartered in the province, arguing that smaller banking establishments were more prone to collapse, as had been seen in the United States.
Province of Canada Period
After unification of the two Canadas, greater power was vested in party leaders and the civil service. Patronage and clientelism continued, but with a decreased emphasis on religious elites. Little is known about lobbying in this period.
Atlantic Provinces Pre-Confederation
Nova Scotia was the first Canadian adopter of responsible government. Some evidence exists of relationships between Nova Scotia pre-confederation premier Charles Tupper, who prior to Confederation was a strong supporter of the interest of trans-Canada railway companies, and negotiating with the General Mining Association, which had a de facto monopoly on mining.
Early Canadian colonial history also gives early examples of lobbying in such a way as to defeat government action. When minister of finance Alexander Galt attempted to issue provincial debentures in Canada West in the 1860s, bankers and merchants in "western Canada"—here likely referring to Southwestern Ontario, opposed the debentures and led Galt to withdraw, leading to Galt's eventual resignation.
Confederation Period
After Confederation, informal relationships between economic elites and first ministers continued, with the Pacific Scandal resulting from the Canadian Pacific Railway lobbying through bribery of first post-Confederation Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, causing MacDonald to favour the bid of the CPR over a competing company.
In this period, Canadian manufacturers may also have been involved in lobbying for protections by import tariffs under John A. Macdonald's national policy, and certainly lobbied for its continuance when the tariffs were under threat in 1911. During this time, the interests of Nova Scotia coal companies were also the subject of lobbying, with member of parliament for Cumberland, Charles Tupper, being persuaded by coal producers to lobby for increased coal tariffs.
In the 1910s, various cities in Canada saw the importation of an American model of civic committees for beautification. In Halifax for example, a committee formed from the local business interests by the Halifax Board of Trade lobbied the municipal government for investment in civic centres. Various civic committees engaged in a strategy of hiring British planning experts to give speeches locally, leading to the creation of Canada's first municipal planning acts. These touring speeches were also paired with early instances of a non-governmental groups publicly circulating model legislation, not only locally, but lobbying for unified municipal planning bylaws across Canada.
In 1918, the political patronage system was abolished for the federal public service, reducing the ability to lobby to be placed into a certain role.
Bribery and corruption continued to be a theme of lobbying through the 1930s, when the Beauharnois scandal highlighted a cash-for-contract scheme similar to the Pacific Scandal.
Post Second World War
The period after the Second World War saw the United States institute its first comprehensive legislation restricting activities of lobbyists in 1946, but Canada declined to do so until 1989.
The 1960s saw the advent of a number of new civic society groups, including many not associated with business interests. Groups that may have existed previous to the Second World War saw increased relevance, such as civil liberties group CCLA, municipal advocacy group FCM, and professional groups such as the CMA, CBA, and CAUT, representing doctors, lawyers, and university professors, respectively. New organizations began as well: environmental groups and the umbrella advocacy alliance Canadian Council for International Co-operation were both founded in the 1960s. The model of advocacy partnership was popular during this time, seeing conglomerations of interest groups under common banners, such as the Canada Grains Council, which was an umbrella organization representing farmers groups, railway groups, ports groups, and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, all of which had an interest in a robust grain economy and ease of grain shipping.
21st Century
Contemporary events in Canadian lobbying include reforms brought about after the sponsorship scandal. While the kickback scheme did not apparently involve lobbying in the traditional sense, the Gomery Commission did make recommendations which were incorporated into legislation in 2006, which led to increased restrictions coming into force in 2008, including broader ability to prosecute lobbyists, and established the Commissioner of Lobbying, an officer of parliament, outside of the direct control of the government.
The 21st century also saw the first successful prosecution of a lobbyist under lobbying legislation for a lobbyist failing to register in 2013.
Under the Justin Trudeau Ministry, multiple lobbying scandals have had significant public attention. The SNC-Lavalin affair, where lobbying was conducted to implement deferred prosecutions in the Canadian Criminal Code, which the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould refused to implement despite the Office of the Prime Minister's requests. The improper influence of the Attorney General against the Shawcross principle became a major scandal which was criticized by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner in a 2019 report.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, lobbying by WE Charity of the government to create a program that the charity was uniquely well situated to bid for became an issue, leading to the WE Charity scandal and WE Charity's subsequent winddown of Canadian operations. The issue with lobbying included whether inviting the family of the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau to attend events run by the charity, with expenses paid, constituted a conflict of interest and improper lobbying.
During the 21st century, technology such as allowing for e-mail and digital submissions has increased the accessibility of lobbying. Over 700 groups were able to submit budget briefs to the finance committee in connection with the federal budget, including not only industry groups, but individuals, charities, not-for-profits, academics and labour unions. The top 10 lobbying organizations of 2012 were still dominated specifically by business interests, but the World Society for the Protection of Animals as a non-profit was one of the Top 10.
With reforms in the Trudeau Ministry to the Senate of Canada, lobbying of Senators increased about 600% between 2015 pre-reform to 2017 post-reform, as Senators are now seen to have more independence and more authority to propose amendments to legislation for the House to implement.
Legislative Frameworks
Federal
History
The legislation that regulates the lobbying industry is found in the lobbying act. The Lobbying Act began as the Lobbyists Registration Act, which came into force in 1989 after approximately 20 years of interest expressed through private member's bills. The motivation of the act was to provide a record of who the lobbyists on the federal level were, and what meetings they were having. The registration act also created the role of Registrar of Lobbyists, whose role was primarily one of collecting and releasing information as required by the act, and did not possess substantial enforcement powers. The Act was amended in 2003 after two years of study, where recommendations adopted included giving investigatory power, establishing a mandatory 5-year review, and establishing that the politicians who were lobbied also have their names published. These amendments and others were enacted in a 2003 bill, but did not take force until 2005.
In 2006, Stephen Harper ran on an accountability-centric platform, including a major overhaul to lobbying legislation. After election in a minority parliament, Prime Minister Paul Martin resigned, and the Governor General, Michaëlle Jean invited Harper to form government, where he introduced omnibus legislation, the Federal Accountability Act, which reformed a number of acts, including renaming the Lobbyists Registration Act to the Lobbying Act. The provisions in this amendment entered into force in 2008, and included establishing the Lobbying Commissioner as an independent officer of parliament, meaning the government (Prime Minister and cabinet) has no authority to command the commissioner. The act also established a prohibition on many previous civil servants (usually at the level of assistant deputy minister or above) from becoming a lobbyist for the first 5 years after leaving their government post, extending the length of time after an infringement that a lobbyist could be prosecuted (from 2 to 10 years), and some other changes stemming from recommendations of the Gomery Commission.
Current Legislation
The current act defines lobbying as persons receiving paid compensation to communicate with public office holders about changes to government law, regulation or programs, or to obtain a government contract. The act then defines a lobbyist as anyone who spends more than 20% of their time in any given month doing lobbying or preparing for lobbying. The act requires those lobbyists to register and, if they have done any lobbying activity during a month, to provide a monthly report on their activities, including the date, name of the office holder they contacted, and the subject of their communications. These reports are then placed for free public access on the website of the Commissioner of Lobbying.
The act also establishes a statutory code of conduct for lobbyists, including not just rules that lobbyists must follow, but also as of the 2006 amendment, also make the principles that they must follow carry punishment if they contravene the principles. The code of conduct was most recently amended in 2015 after recommendations from the commissioner to parliament on how to update the code.
The Commissioner of Lobbying is responsible for not only conducting enforcement, but also providing clarifications, either proactively or on request, as to what activities do or do not comport with lobbying regulation.
Penalties under the act range from fines of between $0 and $200,000, and imprisonment of up to 2 years for an indictable (serious) offence. Few lobbyists have ever been prosecuted under the legislation, and only about 20 formal investigations since investigatory powers were added to the act.
Comparison to other Legislation
In a thorough 2018 comparative politics book chapter comparing Canada, the US and the UK, Jeremy Sapers found that Canada was an early adopter of lobbying legislation, with the United States as a frontrunner, and Canada being one of the first four countries globally to establish legislation. Sapers characterizes Canada's system as facilitating easy entry into the profession of lobbying. He also notes that Canada, like the US, differs from lobbying to the European Union, as registration of lobbyists in the EU system was voluntary. Sapers concludes that Canada's regulatory regime is commendable, but below the standards of the United States, with further financial disclosures being the key weakness of Canada's regime, as Canada does not require disclosure of lobbyist spending on lobbying activities.
Provincial
Every province has its own lobbying legislation regarding lobbying officials in that province, and federal law does not apply to lobbying provincial officials. These acts are usually styled as Lobbyist's Registration acts, except in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where it is styled the Lobbyist Act, and Quebec, where it is styled as the Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Act. The Yukon territory also has a lobbying act, though no act exists for the Northwest Territories or Nunavut. The Northwest Territories declined to enact legislation in 2015.
Industry
Associations
Lobbyists in Canada are not automatically part of any registered association, and while they have oversight by a government agency, they do not have any mandatory self-regulatory professional organization such as other professions such as Professional Engineers Ontario, or College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Lobbyists may however choose to join a voluntary professional association such as the Canadian Association of Political Consultants, which represents lobbyists as well as media consultants, political staffers, pollsters and others, both provincially and federally. This association does maintain a code of ethics which provides guidelines for actions, though has no enforcement value. Another association is the Public Affairs Association of Canada, which conducts advocacy work on behalf of the lobbying profession on the topic of lobbying regulation, and also provides services to members such as running networking events, and is likewise open to a wide range of political jobs.
Employment
Estimates for the number of lobbyists in Canada are at roughly 5000 lobbyists in the federal system as of 2011. Of these 5000, about 84% or 4300 worked within a not-for-profit or a corporation as an "in-house lobbyist", while about 800 worked as "consultant lobbyists", or in firms that sell lobbying services to other organizations on a contract basis. More lobbyists may likely be found registered provincially but not federally. As of 2020, the number of lobbyists who had registered had reached 8000.
Practices
Most lobbyists are in-house, meaning they work as a full employee of an organization, not a contractor. These lobbyists can be part of for-profit corporations, or other not-for-profit organizations, and exist in roughly equal proportion. Corporate lobbyists are therefore hired with money generated from the corporation's income, but not-for-profit organizations are more often funded by donations or memberships. Lobbying usually focuses on aligning the interests of the lobbying principal (the organization who hired the lobbyist) with the interests or objectives of the government. For example, almost every government is interested in growing the economy, so the Canadian Federation of Independent Business frames their interests in generally more permissive regulations through the lens of a "stronger business environment", implying economic growth, employment, and general tax revenue. As another example, when provincial government in Ontario switched in 2018 to the Ford Ministry, focused on slimming government, doing-more-with-less, and an educational focus of making students ready for the workforce, an alignment that was likely to favour career colleges, the Council of Ontario Universities, which represents traditional universities issued a statement emphasizing their job-training function that they play.
Lobbyists may also pair their interactions with public pressure campaigns. For example, the TransCanada Corporation, when looking to build the Energy East pipeline, launched a campaign trying to generate public interest in the project, while simultaneously lobbying for the pipeline's approval.
Lobbying would classically also include inviting politicians to receptions, gatherings at a private venue or a room rented within the legislature where food or drinks may be served, and lobbyists for the group are able to make a speech or interact with politicians or staffers who attend.
Lobbying often has a goal of facilitating knowledge transfer. Many targets of lobbying may be unaware of statistics, anecdotes or trends that the organization that is lobbying is aware of. In this way, academics sometimes conceptualize lobbyists as experts who inform public policy making and play a key role in improving the ability of legislators to effectively legislate. An example of this might be the insight of an economist working for a non-profit that pursues the non-profit's interest (improving welfare for less well-off Canadians), by providing expertise on how the Canadian government can most efficiently increase resources in the welfare system in response to COVID-19. This can however create the risk of a revolving door, where people may move between government to industry groups, giving too much insight into the government process and which arguments to make to shape policy, necessitating revolving door legislation like that currently found in the Lobbying Act. In the 1970s, a near majority of bureaucrats described lobbying as important to their work in policy making, with only 40% saying it played little or no role.
The majority of lobbying meetings are taken either by civil servants or members of parliament. Government ministers do receive a sizeable amount of lobbying, more than the average member of parliament or senator.

Cymbilabia undulata is a vandaceous species of epiphytic orchid native to the Bhutan, Myanmar, China, India and Nepal. It is the only species of the recently erected genus Cymbilabia. The genus was erected as it was discovered that the genus Vandopsis were paraphyletic under the inclusion of Cymbilabia undulata. Both the generic name and the specific epithet refer to the floral morphology. The genus name Cymbilabia is derived from the Latin word cymba meaning "cup", "bowl" or "boat" and labium, which is the labellum. The specific epithet undulata refers to the undulate petals and sepals of the fragrant, white flowers, which are formed on panicles, which may reach up to 50 cm in length. The labellum is yellow and has numerous pink lines at the basal end. Waxy, leathery leaves are formed on an ascending or pendulous stem.

Abrey Kamoo (born Abbredalah Kaloss, alias Tommy Kamoo; January/February 1815 – February 21, 1904) was an American physician who was reportedly born in Tunisia. In 1862, during the American Civil War, she was said to have served in disguise as a Union Army drummer boy until her sex was discovered, and then to have served as an army nurse for the remainder of the conflict.
According to newspaper accounts at the time of her death, Abbredalah Kaloss was born in Tunis in 1815 as a triplet. Kaloss' father, Abdallah Kaloss, who was also a triplet, is said to have been a prominent merchant; her mother was of German descent. Kaloss received her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Heidelberg in the mid-1830s. During her college education, Kaloss dressed as a man, since the institution did not then admit women. It was during this period that she met her fiancé, Enrique (William) Kamoo, a graduate of the University of Cairo. According to one account, Kaloss was educated in Germany at the suggestion of United States Navy Commodore Matthew C. Perry, a family friend; according to another version, Perry met her after her return to Tunisia from Germany.
In 1838 Kaloss is said to have sailed with Commodore Perry to New Orleans, where she was reunited with Kamoo, who was working there as a doctor. Commodore Perry gave Kaloss away at her 1840 wedding to Kamoo. The couple established a hospital for black people in New Orleans. They would reportedly twice have triplets. However, only one of their children, a son named William, would live to adulthood. Enrique Kamoo died around 1859; William, the couple's last child, was posthumous, born in early 1860. According to one account, Enrique was shot to death during an argument about abolitionism; according to another account, he died of smallpox contracted during an outbreak.
When the American Civil War began, Kamoo desired to support the Union cause. Leaving her son, William, with friends, she traveled north. In 1862 Kamoo reportedly joined the Union Army in male disguise, using the name "Tommy Kamoo", first as a nurse and then as a drummer boy. Her sex was discovered after she was wounded in the nose at the Battle of Gettysburg; she then served as an army nurse for the rest of the war. Due to racial segregation she was only allowed to care for black soldiers.
After the war Kamoo reunited with her son in New Orleans. They moved to New York City, where Kamoo opened a practice. In 1875 Kamoo moved from New York to Boston, where she established a practice as a dermatologist in the city's South End. In 1885 she joined the congregation of the People's Temple in Boston.
Kamoo's son died of appendicitis in 1901. With her health weakened by multiple falls, Kamoo died in her seat while attending an evening service at the People's Temple on February 21, 1904, at the age of 89. She and her son are buried at Boston's Mount Hope Cemetery. According to newspaper reports of her death, her 114-year-old father was living in Los Angeles with her two triplet brothers when she died.

Daniel Hayward (9 October 1832 — 30 May 1910) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of the cricketer Daniel Hayward, he was born at Chatteris in Cambridgeshire in October 1832. Pursuing a career as a professional cricketer, Hayward made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge Town Club against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1852. He made one first-class appearance for Surrey in 1854, on the mistaken belief that he was born in Surrey. The Hayward family was an old Mitcham family, and his father had indeed played for Surrey; however, with Hayward being born in Cambridgeshire, he was strictly speaking not eligible to play for Surrey. Hayward continued to play first-class cricket until 1869, making a total of 41 appearances for various Cambridgeshire representative sides. He also played once for an All England Eleven against Yorkshire in 1862. Described by Wisden as a "good bat", he scored 690 runs at an average of exactly 10; he made two scores of over fifty, with a highest score of 59 against Cambridge University in 1854. In addition to play first-class cricket, Hayward also umpired it, standing in five matches between 1861 and 1875.
After the end of his cricket career he became an inn-keeper at the Prince Regent Inn in Cambridge, alongside being a cricket and football outfitter. He died at Cambridge in May 1910, having been ill for a number of days prior. His brother was Thomas Hayward, considered the more famous cricketer of the two and considered the best batsman in England at the time. His son was Tom Hayward, who besides playing for Surrey, also represented England in Test cricket.

Apple (Skin to the Core) is a poetic memoir for young adults, written by Eric Gansworth and published October 6, 2020 by Levine Querido. In this book, Gansworth talks about his life as an Onondaga individual, living amongst Tuscaroras, and the impact of residential schooling. As he covers these topics, he discusses common slurs against Indigenous Americans, including the term "apple," which refers to someone who is “red on the outside, white on the inside,” that is, who looks Indigenous but acts white.
On top of winning the American Indian Youth Literature Award for Young Adult, Apple was longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature and was a Michael L. Printz Award honor book.
Reception
Apple: Skin to the Core is a Junior Library Guild book and was generally well-received, including starred reviews from Booklist and Shelf Awareness.
Kirkus Reviews called the book "[a] rare and special read," while School Library Journal called it "bittersweet but ultimately inspiring." Jen Forbus, writing for Shelf Awareness, noted, "With dramatic textual imagery, nuanced storytelling and evocative illustrations, Apple is a stirring depiction of Indigenous life." Booklist's Kay Weisman, stated, "Gansworth’s art, a mix of gouache paintings, photographs, and collages (reproduced in black and white), is interspersed throughout, adding interest and detail. With language rich in metaphor, this is a timely and important work that begs for multiple readings."
The Center for the Study of Multicultural Children's Literature, NPR, Shelf Awareness, and TIME named Apple one of the best books for children and young adults in 2020.

Charles William Abel (1863–1930) was a Congregationalist who founded the Kwato mission in the Territory of Papua, in what is now the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). He was the father of Sir Cecil Abel who played an important role in PNG at the time of its independence, and great grandfather of Charles Abel, a government minister in PNG.
Early life
Charles William Abel was born on 25 September 1863 in Bloomsbury, London but his family later moved to Wandsworth in London. His father, William Abel, was a Congregationalist and worked for Mudie's Lending Library. Abel had two elder brothers and two sisters. At the age of 11 he went with his mother to the Islington Agricultural Hall to hear the American evangelists, Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey, and was very much affected by their message. At the age of 14, he joined his father in working at Mudie's Library. He and his brother, Robert, considered migrating to America, but had been discouraged by letters from other young men from their area who had failed to find opportunities in the US. Instead, Charles applied for an agricultural cadetship at the London office of a New Zealand firm, and sailed for New Zealand in late 1881. However, he was not very happy in his work and at some stage chose to join Māori gumworkers in the Kauri forests north of Auckland. There he gave scripture lessons to young Maori boys and helped them to trade with Europeans.
Early life as a missionary
Having decided to become a missionary, Abel returned to England and entered Cheshunt College in Hertfordshire, a theological college that trained missionaries and would later become part of Westminster College, Cambridge. In addition to theology, he obtained an elementary knowledge of ethnology. He took some medical lessons in London. He would sometimes go to hear the evangelist, Charles Spurgeon, speak in London. Spurgeon was skilled in oratory; an ability Abel also became known for. Abel was also a good cricketer and played county cricket for Hertfordshire.
In 1889 Abel applied to the London Missionary Society (LMS) to become a missionary and was ordained in 1890. He had heard about New Guinea from his friend William McFarlane, son of Samuel McFarlane, a pioneer missionary in New Guinea and the two asked James Chalmers of the LMS mission in Port Moresby to arrange for them to be appointed to New Guinea. In 1889, Abel was ordained as a Congregational minister and appointed to the New Guinea Mission.
Abel arrived in Port Moresby in October 1890 and briefly relieved James Chalmers at the mission. In August 1891 he joined another missionary, F. W. Walker, at Kwato Island, on the southeast tip of New Guinea in what is now Milne Bay Province. The island had previously been used by Chinese and European traders, but was uninhabited by 1890. The LMS owned the freehold. Initially, he spent some time conducting an anthropological study of the people on Logea Island (also spelled Rogeia), immediately to the south of Kwato. In 1891, Abel went to Sydney and on 22 November 1891 married Elizabeth Beatrice Emma Moxon (1869–1939), known as Beatrice, the daughter of a wealthy Anglican family who he had met aboard ship, returning with her to Kwato.
At the mission, the couple began teaching elementary subjects and Bible-study, as well as carpentry, saw-milling and boat building for the boys, and sewing and lace work for girls, while Walker spent much of his time sailing around the islands to supervise local missionary teachers. The Abels enforced strict rules of sexual segregation, unless the couple chose to marry. They introduced sport, particularly cricket and association football. When Kwato later began to play cricket against other teams, particularly Samarai, the "classic formality of English cricket", with white clothing, pads, caps and a scoreboard was imitated exactly.
Walker fell out with the directors of the LMS and resigned in 1896. After that, the closest missionaries to the Abels were about 100 km to the west at Lawes College, a teacher-training college for local missionaries named after William George Lawes. Under the Abels, local children were separated from their parents as infants. They worked in the mission at the trades they had learnt, and their products were sold to the nearby trading centre of Samarai. Adults who had converted also worked for the mission and became lay evangelists. Although the system of putting children and adults to work was approved by the LMS, it was subject to some criticism by other missionaries and some of the lay preachers. In 1895, Abel and his wife began building a large house, with LMS funding, considered by some to be too ostentatious for a missionary.
When Abel took leave in England in 1900, he gave a series of popular lectures. These were supplemented by a small pamphlet, Kwato, New Guinea, 1890-1900, which gave further details. He was asked to write a children's gift book to be presented by LMS. Savage Life in New Guinea was published at the end of 1901. In it, he argued that some Melanesian customs were doomed to decay and others would have to be replaced. He deplored many of the customs of the Papuans, although he respected their practical skills such as canoe building. But he feared that they might be overwhelmed by European "civilization". Indeed, he became increasingly concerned for the future of the indigenous population under the Australian administration, considering that they might experience the same fate of being overwhelmed as the Maoris in New Zealand or the aboriginal Australians. To address this, he believed it important that the Papuans became economically self-sufficient.
Relations with other Europeans and Australians
From 1901, he became widely known for championing the rights of Papuans in court cases against Europeans and Abel experienced increasing conflict with some Australian residents in the Milne Bay area. His disclosures of various scandals in 1901 made him unpopular amongst the traders in Samarai but earned him the trust of Papuans. Conflict arose from a court action for rape against an Australian in 1902, in which a Kwato mission teacher gave evidence for the prosecution. In the following year, following the murder of a white storekeeper, Abel claimed there had been a miscarriage of justice. He further alleged that a group of armed traders led by a government officer had shot several Milne Bay villagers and burned 38 houses. Noting the decline in the population of the Milne Bay area, he also became an opponent of the practice of blackbirding, a form of slavery in which islanders would be kidnapped and taken to work in Queensland and elsewhere. He also warned local people to avoid "selling" their land and advised them how to oppose expropriation.
Through the Australian prime minister Alfred Deakin, he met Atlee Hunt, Secretary of the Department of External Affairs, who encouraged him to continue reporting on affairs in Papua. When the acting administrator of the Territory of Papua, Judge Christopher Robinson, committed suicide after a royal commission into events on Goaribari Island, many Europeans felt that Abel had driven Robinson to his death with an anonymous attack on him in a Sydney newspaper. Robinson had led a reprisal mission to Goaribari after the islanders had killed Chalmers and another missionary, Oliver Tomkins, as well as ten trainee missionaries.
Business activities
During his 1909 furlough visit to England, Abel persuaded the directors to let him plant coconuts. This was intended to provide work for Papuans on plantations managed by Abel's converts. were planted within two years, with financing from people in Sydney. The main purpose of this was to protect the land of the people in Milne Bay from being taken over by Australians. However, other missionaries objected, so Abel agreed to sell the plantations at cost to the LMS. It soon became clear that the society could not afford to maintain the properties and a deputation, sent out in 1915–16 to investigate, recommended the sale of all but for each mission and also recommended the reduction in the number of children per mission to 50. Abel would not accept this, and in 1917 sailed to London to confer with the directors. In early 1918, Abel left the LMS, taking the 560 members of the Milne Bay church with him to form the Kwato Extension Association (KEA). The Association would lease its land in Milne Bay from the LMS. Abel would remain nominally an LMS missionary but his salary ceased. He persuaded the society to convert the Kwato Extension Association into a company.
Reliance on American funding
In 1921, Abel and his family went to England, leaving Kwato in the charge of Madge Parkin (1865-1939), his wife's cousin, who had been working there since 1896. The main purpose of the visit was to look for capital but three years after the end of World War I was not the best time for this purpose. He accepted an invitation from the evangelist W. L. Moody to tour the US. There he found financial supporters, who were organized as the New Guinea Evangelization Society. This society paid for the education of his four children, who had all decided to become missionaries, and sent him back to Kwato in 1924 with enough funds to continue and with the promise of building a hospital. The arrangement annoyed the LMS considerably and there were six years of negotiations before the LMS agreed to sell Kwato to the Evangelization Society.
Family
Abel and his wife had four children, Phyllis, Cecil, Russell and Marjorie. With the American funds, they were trained at Cambridge University and the University of London to take over at Kwato. In fact, a high proportion of the money from America was spent on the children's education. During his lifetime, Abel had very little influence on Papua outside of the Kwato mission and it was only when his son, Sir Cecil Abel, took over the mission that missionaries from Kwato began to venture westwards along the coast. Cecil eventually moved to Port Moresby, where he became close to some of Papua New Guinea's early leaders, such as the country's first prime minister, Michael Somare, and was credited with writing the preamble to the Papua New Guinea constitution. Charles Abel's great grandson, also called Charles Abel, is a PNG politician who has served as deputy prime minister and as minister for finance and rural development.
Death
Abel travelled to America and England in 1929–30 to settle matters regarding the sale of Kwato by the LMS, but died after a motor accident in England on 10 April 1930. His ashes were returned to Kwato. In 1964 the Kwato mission rejoined the LMS.

HMS Aeolus (1758) was a 32-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. In 1800, she renamed as HMS Guernsey.
The original name of the ship comes from Greek mythology and means 'quick moving/nimble'. The ship is commemorated with a neo-classical temple in Kew Gardens, London. Aeolus temple was designed by William Chambers, along with two other temples as a memorial to three British ships involved in naval victories in the Seven Years' War.
History
The ship was built at Deptford Dockyard and launched 29 November 1758.
On 28 February 1760, the Aeolus was involved in the Battle of Bishops Court (also known as the Defeat of Thurot) during the Seven Years' War. The naval engagement took place in the waters between the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. The Aurora served as the flagship of a victorious British squadron commanded by John Elliot, her captain and together with the rest of the squadron they captured three French ships. The name of the ship was given to a monument commemorating the victory at Bishopscourt Glen on the Isle of Man.
On 17 May 1760, the ship was involved in a small action with a French brig laden with naval stores while under the guns of a French shore battery at Belle Île. The ship was badly damaged in the action and returned to port to be repaired. After repairs were completed, the ship spent 1761 cruising in the Bay of Biscay. This involved the seizure of a small French privateer named Carnival on 23 March 1761.

In September 1777 while on station in Jamaica she captured the American privateer Swallow and with also captured the 36-gun La Prudente (and her commander Jacques François de Pérusse des Cars). The ship was refitted and coppered in 1780 and saw service off Portugal.
In 1800, the ship was renamed HMS Guernsey and broken up a year later.

Santa Fe is a ghost town in the center of Haskell Township, Haskell County, Kansas, United States. It was also the county seat of Haskell County for more than the first quarter of a century of the county's existence. It was located along the road currently designated as U.S. Route 83 (US 83, originally K‑22), just north of its junction with U.S. Route 160 (K‑46 [1926–1930]) and K‑144.
History
On June 4, 1985 Star City was platted at a site just east of the location where Santa Fe was later established (across the current US 83). Shortly thereafter a company bought the Star City townsite and renamed the community after the Santa Fe Trail (which passed about to the north). The new townsite was platted June 12, 1886 and officially recorded on July 31, 1886. At the time, it was located within Finney County, but by the next year the community found itself at the center of the new Haskell County, after that county was created on March 23, 1887. Several months later, on July 1, 1887, Santa Fe became the temporary county seat and by November 7, it was designated as the permanent county seat (at least for the next 26 years). On January 2, 1888, Santa Fe was incorporated as a city. About that time, the population of Sante Fe reached itss peak, estimated to be (depending the source) from 600–700 to as high as 18,000. However, within a few year the population of Santa Fe (and Haskell County) began a steady, but fairly rapid decline.
On February 5, 1913, a referendum was held in Haskel County to change the county seat to Sublette (about to the south-southeast), but the vote failed. However, despite a district court ruling on April 11 which uphold the results of the poll, the Kansas Supreme Court overturned that decision on June 7 and Sublette became the new county seat. Over the next five years, the majority of the remaining town residents (about 300) left the community, with most moving to Sublette (along with many of their houses and other buildings). In addition to moving closer to the railroad, which passed through Sublette, the decline may have also been affected by the Spanish flu (1918 influenza pandemic). The post office, which had been established June 16, 1886, closed July 31, 1925. The townsite was officially declared as abandoned by the county commission in 1926, even though it had been deserted for more than a year or two before.
By 1988 there were no buildings remaining and the townsite had been converted to farmland. Notwithstanding, there is a meat processing plant and a huge feed lot in the area.

Albert Newton Raub, Ph.D., LL.D., (1840 – February 23, 1904) was an American educator and the president of Delaware College (now the University of Delaware).
Raub was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1840, and lived on a farm until he was 17 years old, when he began teaching near his home. In 1860 he was graduated from the State Normal School at Millersville, Pennsylvania, and immediately thereafter was elected to the principalship of the Bedford (Pa.) Union School. He taught next at Cressona and Ashland, Pennsylvania, until 1866, when he was called to the chair of English literature, grammar, and rhetoric, in the State Normal School at Kutztown, Pennsylvania. In 1868 he left Kutztown for Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, where he held successively the positions of principal of public schools, city superintendent, and county superintendent of Clinton County. In 1877 he was chosen first principal of the Central State Normal School, which had been established at Lock Haven largely through his own personal efforts. From 1865 to 1885 he was prominent before the teachers' institutes of the state as a lecturer on the teaching of English. In 1885 he left Pennsylvania to assume the principalship of the academy at Newark, Delaware, from which position he was called in 1888 to the presidency of Delaware College, a position which made him ex-officio president of the state board of education. For 18 years he was editor of the Educational News, and during the last few years of his life devoted himself mainly to the interests of the books of which he was the author, treating principally of the English language. He received the degree of master of arts from Princeton in 1867, doctor of philosophy from Lafayette College in 1879, and doctor of laws from Ursinus College in 1895.
He served as president of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association and was an active member of the National Educational Association from 1892. He died at his home in Newark, Delaware, on February 23, 1904.

Herbert Jacob Gute (1907, Jeffersonville, New York - 1977, Yale House Services Hospital) was an American watercolorist. As a graduate student he was a staff artist for the Yale excavations at Dura-Europos, in Syria.
Biography
Herbert Gute got a degree in fine arts from the Pratt Institute and Yale in 1933. As a graduate student he took part in the Yale expedition to Dura-Europos in Syria, where he was a staff artist for three years. He brought to Yale and reconstructed there the oldest known Christian house church. Jewish Museum in New York, that opened in 1947, exhibited Gute's copies of frescoes from Dura-Europos synagogue.
Clark Hopkins, director of the Dura-Europos excavations, wrote about Gute:
Herbert Gute, a young and gifted graduate student in the Yale School of Fine Arts, came out to copy the paintings of the Synagogue before they were lifted from the walls. He was a painter of the first order, with a German precision and attention to minute detail. He worked hard, long, and most intelligently. An able athlete as well as a scholar, he added immensely to our recreational activities. He had been a baseball pitcher in high school and quickly excelled in horseshoes. A keen competitor, he kept daily scores of our doubles matches.
Herbert Gute, just graduated from the Yale School of Fine Arts, had been carefully chosen as a competent painter interested in making renderings. How far interest and competence as an artist can carry a new recruit in the type of technical drawing required on a dig is always a vital question. Herb turned out to be a painter of unusual ability; perhaps his German ancestry gave him his flair for meticulous detail. He too was astonished at the extent and richness of the Dura paintings. He recorded them exactly as he saw them, even to the minutest detail on the smallest corner of a panel. Many of the details of the original paintings were brought out in greater clarity in the copies, and where subsequent fading has occurred, the copies have preserved the original lines and colors visible before the fading. Careful study of fragments, where original colors were best preserved in their original shades, was of valuable assistance in making the copies. To study the combination of color, detail, and design today, one will find the copies better than the originals. Of course, one supplements the other, and both are indispensable.
Gute taught at the Yale School of Fine Arts from 1938 until his retirement in 1973, and a fellow at Calhoun College, 1955-1973. He also served as an art therapy advisor at the Connecticut Valley Hospital in 1949-1953.

Forest Paper Company was a pulp and paper mill on the Royal River in Yarmouth, Maine, United States, which was in business between 1874 and 1923. It was the first of its kind in New England. In 1909, it was the largest such mill in the world, employing 275 people. It produced 80 tons of poplar pulp each day.
History
Located at the third (and most industrious) of Yarmouth's four waterfalls, Forest Paper Company occupied a building constructed in 1872 by its predecessor, the Yarmouth Paper Company, owned by H. M. Clark, Home F. Locke and Henry Furbush. The rights to that business were purchased by Samuel Dennis Warren, owner of S. D. Warren Paper Mill in Cumberland Mills, Maine, and his nephew George W. Hammond. They changed its name to the Forest Paper Company.
Beginning with a single wooden building, the facility expanded to ten buildings covering as many acres, including a span over the river to Factory Island. The main access road to it was an extended version of today's Mill Street, off Main Street. Two bridges to it were also constructed.
In 1909, it was the largest such mill in the world, employing 275 people. The mill used of poplar each year, which meant mounds of logs were constantly in view beside Mill Street. Six railroad spurs extended from the tracks running behind Main Street to the Forest Paper Company, traversing today's Royal River Park. Rail cars delivered logs, coal, soda and chlorine to the mill and carried pulp away.
Changes in papermaking after World War I made the mill less profitable, and it began to decline. Its workers unionized in August 1916 and went on strike the following month. Many never returned.
The mill closed in 1923, when import restrictions on pulp were lifted and Swedish pulp became a cheaper option.
The mill burned in 1931, leaving charred remains on the site until the development of the park in the early 1980s. In 1971, the Marine Corps Reserve tore down the old factory, before a Navy demolition team used fourteen cases of dynamite to raze the remains. Most of the remaining debris was crushed and used as fill for the park but several remnants of the building are still visible today.

Shannon Willis Deniston (February 28, 1919 – April 4, 2020) was an American athlete and sports coach. A native of Long Beach, Deniston attended St. Mary's College of California for one year before starting a professional baseball career in 1939. He played for several minor league teams before serving in World War II at the San Diego Marine Corps Base. While there he also coached the baseball team at Pepperdine University, where he received a degree, and played professional football in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League (PCPFL) and on a military service team. After the war was over Deniston returned to professional baseball as a player-manager, spending 1947 to 1955 both playing for and managing several minor league teams while also serving as a college coach at Pepperdine and Drake University. Deniston retired from playing in 1956 and became a high school football coach, a position he would serve in until 1977, when he was named head coach at United States International University.

While at Alhambra he competed in football, track, basketball, and baseball. Deniston was described by The Long Beach Sun as "an outstanding end and one of the best pass grabbers in the Southland prep ranks." Deniston attended St. Mary's College of California for one year, in 1938, before accepting an offer to play professional baseball by the New York Yankees. He also briefly attended Pasadena Junior College in 1939, playing catcher in baseball and halfback in football.
Playing career

Football (1942–1948)
In 1942, Deniston played professional football in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League (PCPFL) for both the Los Angeles Bulldogs and Hollywood Bears, as a right guard for the Bulldogs and a halfback for the Bears.

Deniston attended Pepperdine University in 1943, and spent the year out of sports. In 1944, he was drafted to serve in World War II, and trained at the San Diego Marine Corps Base. That year he played football for the El Toro Flying Marines military service team that compiled a 8–1 record and was ranked number sixteen in the country.

Basketball (1944)
In 1944, Deniston played for the Pepperdine basketball team and served as an assistant coach two years later.
Baseball (1945–1955)
While in the Marines, bone chips and calcium deposits had weakened Deniston's arm, and he "had given up hope of advancing as a baseball player." Describing his arm, Deniston said he "couldn't throw out Whistler's mother trying to steal second." Despite this, he continued playing, with the Pepperdine Waves baseball team in 1945, and scored a home run in their 20–14 win over UCLA.
After graduating from Pepperdine in 1947, he was named an assistant coach at the school and additionally was named by the St. Louis Browns as a player-manager of the Mayfield Clothiers minor league team. With the Clothiers in 1947, he appeared in 107 total games, appeared at-bat 350 times, and made 105 hits. Of his hits, 21 were doubles, one was a triple, and 15 scored home runs. His 15 home runs were the largest single-season total he made in his career.

He appeared at-bat 129 times, making 34 hits, 15 doubles and three home runs. "When I left the club early to go back to Pepperdine it was three games out of first," Deniston later said. "Then it lost the next sixteen in a row." His position was filled in by Donald Smith.
Deniston was later assigned to coach the Belleville Stags of the Illinois State League. Near the end of the season, Deniston placed second on the team in batting average with a mark of .322. He appeared in a total of 29 games, and was at-bat 107 times, making 35 hits, 11 doubles, one triple, and four home runs. His final batting average was .327.

Deniston was with Audubon for 39 games of the 1950 season, playing catcher, before resigning for "the best interest of the team."

The following year, he played in the same league for Lakes-Denison serving as a player-manager, before being signed to play in the Western League.
Mid-season in 1951, Deniston was signed to play catcher by the Des Moines Bruins of the Western League. His signing was due to several injuries to their previous players at that position. He batted .281 with them, scoring one home run and three runs-batted-in before being released. The Bruin manager Al Todd said that "he hated to see Deniston leave," but that "with recent player acquisitions, Des Moines was above the maximum limit for salaries paid by a Class-A club." After being released, Deniston was signed by the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the same league, who needed a catcher after injuries to all their players at the position. Following the season, he was named all-Iowa for his play at Des Moines.
In 1952, Deniston played catcher for the Kellogg Cardinals, and by July held the league lead in batting average with .485. In a win over the Marshalltown Ansons, Deniston scored two home runs.

In 1946, after returning from World War II, Deniston assisted their football team while also playing the sport professionally. After he graduated from the school in 1947, he was named a full-time assistant football coach, gymnastics coach, and boxing teacher, with the understanding that he would be free to play professional baseball as well. Deniston had also originally accepted a position as baseball coach, but had to resign as he did not have enough time to coach Pepperdine while playing for and managing other teams.
Also in 1947, Deniston was assigned by the St. Louis Browns to play for and manage the Mayfield Clothiers minor league team. He led them to a 72–52 record, with a winning percentage of .581.

In January 1948, St. Louis Browns business manager J. W. Baker named Deniston a player-manager for the Pittsburg Browns of the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League (KOM). He replaced Jim Crandall who had left for the Aberdeen Pheasants of the Northern League. He led them in 48 games before resigning mid-season to return to Pepperdine University.

Deniston later was named manager of the Belleville Stags in the Illinois State League. He was a replacement for Jerry Nimitz.
In 1949, Deniston was named player-manager of the Olean Oilers in the Pennsylvania–Ontario–New York League (PONY). But, as "herding a bunch of youngsters (the average Olean player age was 19 years old) poses pitfalls not encountered in higher leagues," the Oilers only won 39 of 125 games under Deniston's leadership, just a .312 winning percentage.
Following the 1949 baseball season, Deniston was named head baseball coach and football ends coach at Drake University. He also accepted a position to be 1950 manager of the Audubon Cardinals in baseball. After Audubon compiled an 18–21 Iowa State League record to start the season, he resigned for "the best interest of the team."
With Drake University, Deniston served as head coach in baseball, an assistant football coach, director of intramurals and as a physical education teacher from 1949 to 1955.
For part of the 1951 season, Deniston played catcher and served as manager for Lakes-Denison in the Iowa State League. In 1952, he served as manager of the Kellogg Cardinals in the Hawkeye State League (HSL).

In 1955, Deniston announced he had accepted a position as catcher, first baseman and manager of the Estherville Cardinals/Red Sox. After finishing the season with them, Deniston retired and accepted a position as head football coach of La Jolla High School.
After coaching La Jolla High School in 1956, Deniston was named head football coach at Lincoln High School in San Diego for the 1957 season. He replaced Walt Harvey, who had left for Will C. Crawford High School. Deniston ended up coaching the school's football team for thirteen seasons, from 1957 to 1969, winning several championships. From 1964 to 1968, his teams won 41 out of 50 games, a .82 winning percentage. His 1965 team posted a 10–1 record and won the San Diego Section championship game against Point Loma. In 1967, he led them to another 10–1 record with quarterback Jerry Powell, who later played professionally, outscoring opponents 313–75 and winning the championship game. He left following the 1969 season.
Deniston was named head coach at San Diego High School in 1971. He served in that position until resigning in 1976, following a season with just one win out of nine games.
In 1977, Deniston was named head football coach at United States International University. He served in that position for two seasons before being replaced by Tom Walsh; the team folded the next year.
Deniston later returned to Lincoln High School as head baseball coach, spending 1985 to 1986 in that position before retiring.
Later life and death
In 1978, Deniston umpired one game in the National League (NL) when the regular umpires went on strike. He umpired as a volunteer for the game between the New York Mets and San Diego Padres.
Deniston celebrated his 100th birthday on February 28, 2019. He died on April 4, 2020, in San Diego, at the age of 101.
Jerry Powell, who played high school football under Deniston and later professionally, said "from Pop Warner, to high school, college and the pros, I played for a lot of coaches. Without a doubt, Shan Deniston was the best man, the best coach I ever played for. He was truly a blessing and will be sorely missed."

Ḥājjī Muḥammad (Persian: ; Tatar: Xaci Möxämmäd) was Khan of the Golden Horde in 1419–1423. The evidence on his reign in this confused period of civil war is limited; moreover, his name invites confusion with several contemporaries in both the medieval sources and more modern treatments; the other Muḥammads include Ulugh Muḥammad, Muḥammad Barāq, Kūchuk Muḥammad son of Tokhtamysh, and Küchük Muḥammad son of Tīmūr. In retrospect, Ḥājjī Muḥammad is significant as a precursor and ancestor of the khans of Sibir.
Ancestry
According to the Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah and the Muʿizz al-ansāb, Ḥājjī Muḥammad was son of ʿAlī, the son of Bīk-Qundī, the son of Ming-Tīmūr, the son of Bādāqūl, the son of Jūjī-Būqā, the son of Bahādur, the son of Shiban, the son of Jochi, the son of Chinggis Khan. He was thus the nephew of Khan Ḥasan Beg (1368–1369), the great-nephew of the khans Khayr Pūlād (1362–1365) and Īl Beg (1373–1374), and the cousin of the khans Qāghān Beg (1375–1377) and ʿArab Shāh (1377–1380). According to the Muʿizz al-ansāb, Ḥājjī Muḥammad's mother was the sister of the Qongirat emir Manqlāy Muḥammad Khwāja.
Reign
When his protégé Darwīsh Khan was defeated and killed by Qādir Berdi in 1419, the beglerbeg Edigu fled first to the Crimea, where he raised as his new protégé the Tuqa-Timurid Beg Ṣūfī. Having suffered a further defeat at the hands of Qādir Berdi, Edigu fled to the east and Sibir, where he proclaimed as khan the Shibanid Ḥājjī Muḥammad. Although he naturally had Ḥājjī Muḥammad's support, Edigu died of mortal wounds sustained in battle against the forces of Qādir Berdi later the same year. He is said to have sworn his sons to uphold Ḥājjī Muḥammad as khan. As Qādir Berdi himself perished in the struggle at this time, Edigu's sons, led by Manṣūr, quickly succeeded in making Ḥājjī Muḥammad the monarch of the majority of the territory of the Golden Horde.
Ḥājjī Muḥammad's success, however, was tenuous and short-lived, especially where the western part of the Golden Horde was concerned, as he was soon faced with opposition by several rivals for the throne and their supporters. The first assertions of the claims of Ulugh Muḥammad, supported by the Shīrīn emir Tekne, are dated variously to 1419 or 1421 or even 1424, and there is much confusion among scholars as to which khan is designated in the historical sources. More certain rivals of Ḥājjī Muḥammad included the Tuqa-Timurids Beg Ṣūfī and his apparent successor Khudāydād in the Crimea, Ghiyāth ad-Dīn II son of Shādī Beg at Tana, and Barāq son of Quyurchuq, supported by the Timurids in the East. Ḥājjī Muḥammad seems to have made headway against his rivals in the Crimea (if he is the Khan Muḥammad who issued a diploma there in April 1420), but he subsequently started to lose ground in the east, where Barāq advanced with the support of the Timurid Ulugh Beg in 1421. Ḥājjī Muḥammad soon lost the support of his beglerbeg Manṣūr, who deserted to his kinsman Barāq, tipping the scales in the latter's favor. In the confused struggle, Ḥājjī Muḥammad was killed against Barāq, perhaps as early as 1423; Manṣūr betrayed Barāq in turn, in favor of Ghiyāth ad-Dīn II and possibly Ulugh Muḥammad, later returned to Barāq, and was finally executed by him in 1427.
Descendants
According to the Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah, Ḥājjī Muḥammad had three sons, two of whom claimed the throne in Sibir and one of whom was the ancestor of the later khans of Sibir.

Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Oskar Freiherr von Wrangel was a Prussian General of the Infantry and honorary citizen of Flensburg who was notable for commanding at the Battle of Kolding during the First Schleswig War.
Biography
Origin
He was the son of the later Prussian Lieutenant General and his wife Karoline Sophie Henriette, née Countess Truchsess von Waldburg (1777-1819).
Military career
Wrangel was educated in the Culm and Berlin cadet houses and entered military service on 13 August 1830, as a second lieutenant in the 1st Foot Guards and attended the Prussian Staff College in Berlin from 1837 to 1840.
In December 1841, Wrangel had to leave the service because of a trade of honour and after he had healed from the serious wound he received, he was reinstated in March 1843 by the future Kaiser Wilhelm I. In the next year he was assigned to the Trigonometric Department of the General Staff in Berlin. Having become premier lieutenant in 1846, with his uncle, lieutenant general Friedrich Graf von Wrangel, when he had received the supreme command of the German troops intended for the First Schleswig War in April 1848 to the Elbe duchies, where he became a captain who got transferred to the General Staff of Schleswig-Holstein and took part in the campaigns of 1848 and 49.
Before that he had acquired the nickname of the "Drummer of Kolding", which a newspaper gave him. The incident that gave him the name took place on 29 April 1849, during the Battle of Kolding, which was occupied by the Schleswig-Holsteiners. When they gave way to the advancing Danes, Wrangel brought them to a halt by snatching the drum from a drummer and began playing it in a march.
When Prussia recalled its officers in April 1850, Wrangel became head of the topographical department and only returned to frontline service as a lieutenant colonel during the mobilization of 1859. He was now at the head of a Landwehr regiment, which soon became the Pomeranian Infantry Regiment No. 61 in Stolp.
In the Austro-Prussian War, he went into the field at the head of the 26th Infantry Brigade in Münster and took part in the Campaign of the Main. In the battles at Dermbach, Kissingen, Laufach, Aschaffenburg, Tauberbischofsheim and the Battle of Gerchsheim where he played a major role and employed independently. For his services at Gerchsheim, he was awarded the Pour le Mérite.
On 10 August 1867, he was appointed commander of the 18th Division in Flensburg and promoted to lieutenant general in the spring of 1868. In the Franco-Prussian War, his division took part in the IX Army Corps at the battles of Colombey-Nouilly, Mars-la-Tour and Gravelotte. During the Siege of Metz, his troops attacked from September 1 during the Battle of Noiseville in support of the defensive battle of the Prussian 1st Army Corps stationed on the east bank of the Moselleone. His division distinguished itself particularly in the Second Battle of Orléans in early December. From there the Commander-in-Chief, Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia, telegraphed to Versailles:
For this Wrangel was awarded the oak leaves to his Pour le Mérite. As the war progressed, Wrangel's division was still involved in the Battle of Le Mans on January 11, 1871.
After peace was concluded, Wrangel remained at the head of his division in Flensburg until June 1872, when he became governor of Posen. On September 2, 1873, he received the rank of General of Infantry. Wrangel would retire on 12 December 1876; in recognition of his many years of service, Wilhelm I awarded him the Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle with Oak Leaves and Swords on September 16, 1881. He was also a knight of the Johanniter Order.
Family
Wrangel had married Elisabeth Adelheid Ernestine von Strantz (25 September 1813 in Berlin – 27 February 1891 in Sproitz ) on 26 March 1843. From the marriage came the daughter Adda (* 28 July 1844 in Charlottenburg; † 23 January 1913), who married Karl Freiherr von Liliencron († 1901), Herr auf Sproitz, Chamberlain and Rittmeister, on 29 July 1864 in Berlin. Adda was a founding member and chairwoman of the Women's League of the German Colonial Society.
Legacy
In 1903, a memorial was unveiled in Flensburg's city park in his memory, consisting of a statue with a pedestal to which a relief depicting Kolding's drummer was attached. In addition, a street in Flensburg is named after him and there is also a street in Kiel named after him.

Soul Cages is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Phillip Barker and released in 1999. Inspired by the old legend of The Soul Cages, in which the souls of drowned sailors are trapped in clay pots at the bottom of the ocean, the film adapts it to the present day by depicting the interactions between a photographer (Susanna Hood) and the clerk (Srinivas Krishna) processing her film in a one-hour photo lab, around the philosophical question of whether the souls of photographic subjects are trapped in the image.
The film premiered at the 1999 Toronto International Film Festival. It was later screened at the Local Heroes Film Festival in Winnipeg, where it won the Audience Choice Award, and at the 2000 Atlantic Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Short Film.
It received a Genie Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 21st Genie Awards in 2001.

Electric railways in Poland are powered by 3 kV DC and the length of electrified lines is over 12,165 km.
History
Early electrifications in Lower Silesia
The first plans for the electrification of railways in Poland appeared before the outbreak of World War I, but works on the electrification of railways in the contemporary Polish lands was started by the Germans by electrifying and opening in 1914 the railway line from Szczawienka to the Czech Meziměstí on 15 kV AC system. In the same year, the Jugowice - Walim railway line was also opened. In the following years, the number of electrified railway lines in Lower Silesia grew, thanks to which it was possible to run electric trains from Wrocław via Wałbrzych, Jelenia Góra to Węgliniec as well as Zgorzelec and Leśna. Until the 1939, over 391.87 km of railway lines were electrified in Lower Silesia. Further works were suspended due to the outbreak of World War II.
Second Polish Republic
In 1921, according to the request of prof. Roman Podoski, a bold decision was made at that time that the electrification would be a modern DC system with a voltage of 3000 V, not widely used at that time. so a small number of them) and allowed for the collection of energy in the form of 3-phase current from existing power plants. In 1926, for financial reasons, there was a standstill in works, in 1928 a detailed schedule of works was adopted for the years 1928 to 1931, providing for the commissioning of the electrified cross-city line in November 1931.
In the years 1925–1927, thanks to the support of English capital, a line managed by the carrier from Warsaw to Grodzisk Mazowiecki was built on the basis of a concession for a section from Warsaw to Żyrardów, issued to industrialists from Łódź, who - interested in the project - relinquished it to EKD. The EKD was made available to passengers on December 11, 1927.
At the beginning of 1931, the Ministry of Communications turned to larger foreign enterprises dealing with electric traction for offers for the electrification of the Warsaw cross-city line with a variant of electrification of suburban traffic on three lines, on credit terms. At the request of the Ministry, 17 offers were received, the comparison of which confirmed the advisability of electrification of the rail with 3 kV direct current, but the proposed credit terms were unacceptable. It is interesting that there was no offer from England among them, even though, as it turns out, the electrification was carried out by English companies.
On August 2, 1933, PKP concluded an agreement with two English companies: The English Electric Company and Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company, with experience in the construction of 3 kV devices, for the implementation of the first stage of electrification of WKW within 4 years on credit terms.
The Warszawa Wschodnia - Otwock section was ready on August 14, 1936, and on December 15 of that year, the trains on the section from Otwock to Pruszków were officially launched.
In 1937, electric trains were launched on the section Pruszków - Grodzisk Mazowiecki. On September 6, on the section Grodzisk Mazowiecki - Żyrardów, on December 15, on the last section scheduled for electrification in the first stage, that is, from Warszawa Wschodnia to Mińsk Mazowiecki.
For the maintenance and repair of electric rolling stock, initially consisting of 6, and later 10 4-axle electric locomotives of the English EL 100 and Polish EL 200 series and 76 wagon unbalanced electric multiple units, popularly known as 91000 and 92000 series units, and a few years after the war as EW51 and EW52 for those refurbished in East Germany, was built in West Warsaw at Armatnia Street, the Main Electrotraction Workshop with an adjacent power plant in Grochów.
Further electrification plans were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.
Communist era and the beginning of the 90s
After the end of hostilities, the railway infrastructure was in a very bad condition. Due to the terrible condition of the economy, especially the electrotechnical industry, it was impossible to undertake the production of rolling stock in the country. Already at the end of the 1940s, the planning of further electrification of the lines, including the Coal Main from Chorzów to Tczew, began, but at that time electrification was not possible. However, the reconstruction of the pre-war traction network at the Warsaw railway junction was undertaken. In addition, shortly after the end of the war, the German traction network in Lower Silesia, except for the Jugowice-Walim railway line, was completely liquidated, on which the traction network remained at 1000 V DC for some time.
Already in 1945, equipment for the Brwinów substation and two mobile substations assembled on railway vehicles were ordered from the Swedish concern ASEA. At the beginning of 1946, preliminary talks were started with the ASEA concern regarding the conclusion of a loan agreement for large deliveries of electrotraction equipment for the Warsaw node. The Swedish delivery was to include 44 three-car electric multiple units, 8 BoBo electric locomotives, complete equipment of 6 traction substations and section cabins, and equipment for remote control electric system control room. The contract was signed on April 16, 1947.
The electric policy is not yet the preparatory period, but steam traction was almost electric. There was resistance or what is complemented by the entries for the correction of this transaction on the entry transaction record. The effectiveness of the Railway Electrification Office has developed in practice:
1.Efficiency Reconstruction of the pre-war state and further electrification electrification of suburban traffic in WWK
2.Electrification of urban and suburban traffic on the Gdańsk Coast, i.e. in the Tri-City Gdańsk - Sopot - Gdynia
3.Electrification of the Warsaw - Częstochowa - Katowice - Gliwice line with a branch to Łódź and Kraków
Complementary ASEA mobile substations, periodically constructed for the construction of 1948. The queue first passed to replace substations and missions, which prevent the operation of traffic to Warsaw East - Mińsk Mazowiecki. The trains started from Warszawa Wschodnia station to Miłosny 3 February, and to Mińsk Mazowiecki on March 14, 1948.
At the turn of 1947 and 1948, technical possibilities of technical problems related to technical problems on the market, problems related to PKP with breakthrough capital due to the traditions of the interwar period.
Due to the future electrification of the GWK using the standard voltage of 3 kV direct current for PKP, it was decided to build a traction network with dimensions and insulation typical for a voltage of 3 kV. Direct current with a voltage of 800 V was to be provided by traction substations, for which equipment was ordered in England at the turn of 1947 and 1948.
In the years 1948–1951, the electrification of the lines on the Coast from Gdańsk to Sopot was carried out, on which the traction network was put into service in 1951–1952. The rolling stock operated on the line were electric multiple units of the EW90, EW91 and EW92 series, imported from the Berlin S-Bahn as part of war reparations. In the following years, from 1953 to 1957, further fragments of the Tricity line from Sopot through Gdynia to Wejherowo were electrified.
From 1952, the pace of electrification of railway lines in Poland gained momentum. On March 14, 1952, the railway line from Warszawa Wileńska to Zielonka was electrified. On the same day, the traction network from Zielonka to Tłuszcz was put into use. At the turn of 1957–1958, the electrification of the line from Otwock to Pilawa was completed.
On September 10, 1954, the first electric train from Warsaw arrived in Łódź, entering the Łódź Fabryczna station.
In 1955, the Piotrków Trybunalski - Częstochowa section was electrified, but the first electric train arrived in Częstochowa on January 21, 1956. A few months later, on May 1, electric trains began to reach Zawiercie. On June 3, the traction network for Łazy was put into operation. Then, until 1957, the railway line from Łazy to Gliwice was electrified. After the Warsaw-Gliwice main line was fully commissioned in 1957, the speed of electric trains - compared to steam trains - increased for passenger trains from 40.8 to 65.3 km / h, and for freight trains - from 29 to 49 km / h. Compared to the operation with steam traction, 60% carbon savings and significant savings in wagons were achieved. Rail transport between Silesia and Warsaw has been improved for a long time.
The obtained investment and operational experience related to the first main line and the WWK electrification allowed the Ministry of Communications to develop general assumptions for the electrification of railways in Poland, which were used, among others, by to make a significant decision by the minister to abandon the purchase of steam locomotives for PKP from 1957. It is worth adding that during its construction, a practically large team of specialists was educated for the electrification of subsequent railway routes. In the area of the Łódź junction, the Bedoń - Łódź Olechów - Łódź Kaliska and Łódź Widzew - Łodź Chojny connections with a total length of 26 km were electrified (January 25, 1958). In this way, it was possible to connect three most important stations of the Łódź agglomeration by electric traction. (Widzew, Chojny, Łódź Kaliska)
In the years 1961–1962, the electrification of the very important Warsaw-Poznań bus began. On March 22, 1961, 71 km electrified section Sochaczew - Łowicz - Kutno was put into operation. On the 29 September 1962 section Kutno - Konin 79 km, electrification thus reached the area of DOKP Poznań.
Ongoing plans for the electrification of the PKP network include the main lines connecting Upper Silesia with the developing Kraków district and connecting Upper Silesia with Lower Silesia, i.e. with the Wrocław district. The following set of lines were electrified and commissioned:
- Katowice - Szczakowa 22 km, May 14, 1959
- Ząbkowice - Szczakowa 16 km, April 30, 1959
- Szczakowa - Mydlinki - Kraków Płaszów 59 km, September 29, 1959
- Mydlinki - Kraków Prokocim, 13 km on July 31, 1959
- Krakow Płaszów - Bieżanó - Wieliczka 10 km 29 March 1960
- Bieżanów - Podłęże - Niepołomice, 15 km on May 28, 1960
- Kraków Główny - Batowice 7 km on May 28, 1960
- Nowa Huta - Podłęże 12 km, December 23, 1961.
- Prokocim - Gaj 3 km
The necessity to improve and increase the railway transport capacity on the Upper Silesia - Wrocław communication route formed the basis of government decisions regarding the modernization and electrification of the Gliwice - Pyskowice - Opole - Wrocław railway line. The electrification of this trunk was carried out in stages, the entire trunk line was commissioned by electric traction on the following dates:
- Gliwice - Pyskowice - Strzelce Opolskie (along with the second pair of tracks on the section Gliwice - Łabędy) - Opole Główna - Święta Katarzyna - Wrocław Brochów 158 km on 3 October 1960.
- Święta Katarzyna - Wrocław Główny 10 km on December 15, 1960,
In 1961, additional connections in the Opole area were electrified: Groszowice - Opole Główna Towarowe (3 km) and Groszowice - Opole Wschodnie (6 km). In 1962, the section Brochów - Wrocław Towarowy (3 km) was additionally electrified in the area of Wrocław. The electrification investment Gliwice - Wrocław also includes the electrification of branches along the Odra River: Gliwice - Łabędy - Kędzierzyn - Groszowice (83 km).
In the Katowice junction itself, in 1961, the suburban section Katowice - Katowice Ligota - Tychy - Tychy Miasto was electrified. In 1962, the following sections were put into operation by electric traction:
- Podłęże - Bogumiłowice, 51 km, April 28, 1962.
- Bogumiłowice - Tarnów Zachodni 4 km
In 1959, the traction network on the Jugowice Walim railway line was liquidated along with passenger traffic, which was served by steam locomotives for a few more months, and was finally liquidated by 1960. Freight traffic on this line was served until 1975, and the line itself was dismantled in 1984.
The EP02 series electric locomotives (1953-1954) and three-car electric multiple units of the EW53 series (1953-1955), intended for WWK, were built in Pafawag Wrocław with the use of electrical equipment purchased in England. In 1957, 2 prototypes were built, and in 1958, serial production of the locomotives began based on the Soviet technical documentation, ET21. In 1958, a prototype of the domestic three-car EMU (EW55 series) was built for suburban traffic with adaptation to high platforms, and in the years 1958 - 1962 a series of these vehicles was delivered for WWK. In 1962, the first three-car multiple unit for local traffic was built, with the same equipment as the EW55, but adapted to low platforms, the EN57 series. On the other hand, the demand for electric locomotives for servicing long-distance passenger trains was covered by the intervention purchase of 30 BoBo electric locomotives in CSRS (EU05 series). A contract was also concluded for the delivery from England of 20 BoBo electric locomotives (EU06 series) with full production documentation.
In April 1959, an inter-ministerial working team was established. Thanks to the efforts of this team, a number of studies and design studies have been carried out. The electrification projects for several lines were carried out at that time in two variants: for 3 kV direct current and 25 kV 50 Hz alternating current (e.g. for the Kraków - Medyka line, the Silesia - Gdańsk and Gdynia ports and Poznań - Szczecin coal lines). a reasonable compromise, the Wrocław - Legnica line (50 km long) was selected for electrification with 50 Hz alternating current, for which a preliminary project of electrification with this system was developed. The Ministry of Communications placed an order for the supply of 70 50 Hz AC electric locomotives for this line, but the rolling stock industry did not even start to build a prototype of these locomotives, considering that it could not risk starting new production for such a small series of locomotives. In 1959, PKP also tried to convince the Ministry of Communications to electrify the Coal Main to 25 kV 50 Hz alternating current, but the idea was also rejected.
In 1964, the electrification of the last part of the Kraków - Medyka line was completed, which had been going on since 1960 (in 1963 the Tarnów Zachodni - Dębica - Rzeszów section was electrified, and the final section Rzeszów - Medyka in 1964). On June 6, 1964, the electrification of the entire length of the Warsaw - Poznań line (after the Konin - Poznań section was electrified) started in 1958. Together with the electrified sections of Łowicz - Skierniewice (22 km - May 25, 1963) and Odolany - Warszawa Gdańska - Warszawa Praga (14 km - May 25, 1963), it constituted the electrification of an important route for the east–west direction, linking two electrified main lines Warsaw - Katowice and Warsaw - Poznań. On November 29, 1963, the electric traction connection of Katowice through Ligota - Tychy - Czechowice with Bielsko (38 km) was launched, extended on December 30, 1970, by the Bielsko - Żywiec section (21 km). On September 9, 1964, it took place on the section Czechowice - Zebrzydowice - state border (37 km). On December 19, 1966, electric traction was introduced along the entire length of the Wrocław - Wałbrzych - Jelenia Góra line (151 km); on the section Wrocław - Kuźnice Świdnickie a year earlier - December 18, 1965. It is the first electrified line of the PKP network of a piedmont character. From that moment, also in Lower Silesia, parts of the lines on which the traction network were located before the war were re-electrified.
The next important electrified route was the Śląsk - Lublin main railway line with connections towards Kraków (Batowice - Tunel section) and Warsaw (from Radom to Czachówek and from Dęblin to Pilawa), electrified in stages and launched on the following dates:
- Strzemieszyce - Sędziszów 98 km, September 8, 1966.
- Sędziszów - Kielce 66 km, September 29, 1967
- Kielce - Radom - Dęblin 143 km 28 December 1967
- Dęblin - Lublin 67 km November 8, 1968
- Dęblin - Pilawa 49 km November 8, 1968
Launching the supplementary sections, forming the shortest connection, was as follows:
- Tunel - Batowice 46 km September 22, 1968
- Czachówek - Radom 70 km
By the resolution of the Council of Ministers of February 21, 1963, the electrification of the Coal Main was officially started. The first completed section was Tarnowskie Góry - Zduńska Wola Karsznice, the electrification of which was completed on November 28, 1965. The second section from Zduńska Wola to Maksymilianowo has been divided into stages: Zduńska Wola Karsznice - Lipie Góry, Lipie Góry - Inowrocław, Inowrocław - Maksymilianowo along with the electrification of the Bydgoszcz Railway Junction and Maksymilianowo - Tczew (and further to Gdynia by line Warsaw–Gdańsk railway). These stages were completed on May 30, 1966, December 30, 1966, September 9, 1967, and December 23, 1968, respectively. Due to electrification, line 131 took over 70% of the freight transport of DOKP Gdańsk. The reduction in travel costs resulted in a return on investment after 5 years. The introduction of electric traction also resulted in changes in the workshops of the locomotive shed and the creation of a control point for electric locomotives in Karsznice. The electrification of the bus was completed on May 23, 1974, when the last section from Chorzów Batory to Tarnowskie Góry was electrified. The total length of electrified lines under this project was 714 km.
As soon as the 3kV direct current electrification system reached Gdynia, the voltage was switched from 800 V to 3000 V on the Gdynia Stocznia - Wejcherowo section (23 km) (October 19, 1969). At the same time, the voltage was also switched from 800 V to 3000 V on the Gdańsk Gł. - Gdańsk Nowy Port section. The separate electric traction system 800 V on the Gdańsk - Gdynia route was liquidated on December 20, 1976. The power supply was switched to 3000 V and the system was unified in the GWK. Thus, the operation of the post-German 800 V electric rolling stock operated on the Coast lasted 25 years, instead of the initially anticipated 10 years.
In the period 1969 - 1970, an electric traction was put into operation on the Wrocław - Poznań line, 165 km long, and 198 km including slip roads (September 24, 1970). In addition, in the first decade of the period in question, the following lines or sections of the PKP network were electrified, starting to operate trains with electric traction:
- Łódź Widzew - Zgierz 14 km, December 23, 1969
- Skierniewice - Pilawa - Łuków 160 km on December 15, 1971
- Kraków - Spytkowice - Oświęcim - Czechowice 90 km, December 4, 1971
- Dorota - Muchowice - Chorzów Batory 40 km, May 30, 1970

- Pilawa - Minsk Maz. - Tłuszcz 60 km 27 May 1972
- Warsaw Praga - Legionowo - Wieliszew - Zegrze and Tłuszcz 62 km on 27 May 1972
The electrification ended of 29 December 1972 the Legionowo - Nasielsk section has completed the electrification of the PKP network in the Warsaw region.
In the years 1973 - 1982 many important lines and communication routes were electrified. On October 15, 1973, the electric traction was started on the Paczyna - Lubliniec - Herby line (55 km), on December 29, 1973 - on the Kozłów - Koniecpol - Kielce line (44 km), built in 1971, and on December 4, 1974 - on the Częstochowa - Koniecpol - Kielce line (114 km). The Koniecpol - Częstochowa section was put into operation by electric traction a year earlier (December 29, 1973). An electrified large northern bypass of the Katowice junction was created, constituting an element of fundamental importance in the transport service of the areas adjacent to industrial Silesia and the Częstochowa region in the system of the electrified PKP network.
On December 30, 1974, the electrified Częstochowa - Wyczerpy - Siemkowice line (48 km) was put into operation, constituting a direct connection between the Częstochowa junction and the Tarnowskie Góry coal main - ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia. On December 2, 1975, the staged electrification of the Zduńska Wola - Ostrów Wlkp. - Oleśnica line (171 km) was completed. Zduńska Wola - Sieradz section (17 km) - 30.IX.1975 This way an electrified communication route from Warsaw through Łódź Kaliska, Ostrów Wlkp., Pleśnica to Wrocław was created. A direct electric traction connection was made between the economic regions of Wrocław, Wałbrzych and Jelenia Góra with Warsaw.
On December 2, 1975, electric traction began on the Kraków - Zakopane line (135 km). The Kraków - Skawina section was commissioned on November 12, 1970, and Skawina - Sucha Beskidzka on July 17, 1974. The commissioning of this old railway line, connecting the winter capital of Poland with the rest of the country, was commissioned by electric traction. If the construction of slip roads designed in the areas of Sucha and Chabówka stations (change of the train's head) had not been abandoned, the improvement of traffic would have been even greater.
On December 31, 1974, electric trains began to operate along the entire length of the Tarnowskie Góry - Kalety - Kluczbork - Ostrów Wlkp. - Jarocin - Poznań route (203 km). On the section Kluczbork - Ostrów Wlkp. Electric traction started earlier, i.e. on September 7, 1973. The electrification of the above-mentioned line created a second electric connection between Silesia and Poznań, and soon electric traction was introduced for further elements of port routes: Poznań - Inowrocław (101 km ) on December 14, 1976, and Jarocin - Gniezno (65 km)
In the years 1975 - 1977, electric trains were introduced according to the given dates also on the following lines (sections):
- Koluszki - Żakowice - Tomaszów Maz. - Radzice - Radom 123 km 29 May 1976

In this way, almost the entire Katowice junction was electrified.
From the 1960s, the domestic industry at a rapid pace began to provide new electric locomotives and electric multiple units, which allowed a large part to replace steam locomotives, which in the late 1970s began to be phased out in favor of diesel locomotives on non-electrified lines. In addition to the mass-scale introduction of the domestic ET22, EU07 and two-section ET41 locomotives, Polish State Railways also purchased two-section locomotives of the ET40 series in Czechoslovakia, which were produced by Skoda, and in the Soviet Union Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant, locomotives of the ET42 series were purchased, which were one of the strongest series at the Polish State Railways.
On October 10, 1983, the electrified section Siedlce - Mordy (19 km) was put into operation. It was the initial stage of electrification of the entire Siedlce - Czeremcha line (91 km) planned for later implementation. The electrification of this line was never completed.
On December 20, 1983, the electric traction was introduced to the section Toruń - Inowrocław (35 km). On May 31, 1984, the section Poznań - Zbąszynek - Rzepin (74 km) was covered by electrification as the last fragment of the great east–west transit main, running from Terespol through Kutno, Poznań to Rzepin station. On June 1, 1984, the electric traction on the Lublin - Dorohusk line was put into operation, the first section of which was already electrified from Lublin to Świdnik. On the section Świdnik - Chełm Lub. - Dorohusk (83 km).
On December 29, 1984, the additional electrified section Rejowiec - Żulin (9 km) was put into operation. On July 20, 1984, the Toruń - Bydgoszcz section (45 km) was put into operation by electric traction. It is the last stage of electrification of the Toruń-Bydgoszcz-Inowrocław triangle. On September 30, 1984, the section Florek - Płock Miasto (46 km) was put into operation by electric traction, extended on November 27, 1984, by the section Płock Miasto - Płock Trzepowo (6 km). On December 21, 1985, the electric traction was introduced on the entire line Kutno - Toruń Gł. (106 km) together with the adjacent section of Aleksandrów Kujawski - Ciechocinek (7 km). On the Toruń - Aleksandrów Kujawski (17 km) and Aleksandrów - Ciechocinek (7 km) sections, the electric traction was introduced a little earlier - on May 31, 1985. On May 28, 1985, the electrification of the transport line, which had been going on since 1982, was put into operation Wrocław - Głogów - Zielona Góra - Rzepin - Kostrzyń - Szczecin (342 km)

On December 9, 1985, electric traction was introduced on the shortest connection between Warsaw and Gdańsk, 235 km long, with simultaneous activation of electric traction on the Malbork - Elbląg (29 km) branch - on July 20, 1985, and in 1986 on the Działdowo - Olsztyn line (83 km). The Tczew - Gdańsk section was already electrified in 1969 as part of the electrification of the coal main line, the Warsaw - Nasielsk section in 1972 as part of the electrification of the WWK region.
- Tczew - Malbork 18 km, September 30, 1983
- Nasielsk - Ciechanów 38 km. September 21, 1984.
- Malbork - Iława 69 km, June 30, 1985
- Ciechanów - Działdowo 50 km September 28, 1985.
- Działdowo - Iława 60 km 19.XII.1985
In order to accelerate the electrification of this important communication route, works were carried out simultaneously on both sides of the line, from the side of Tczew and from the side of Nasielsk. There were two work fronts that met in the middle section of Działdowo - Iława. On October 7, 1985, the electric traction traffic introduced in 1982 on the Tłuszcz - Wyszków section was extended to Ostrołęka. 54 km. The next important communication route, the electrification of which was completed in 1986, is the Warsaw - Białystok - Kuźnica Białostocka line. The Warsaw - Tłuszcz section was electrified as early as 1952 as part of the electrification of the WWK. The Tłuszcz - Białystok - Kuźnica Białostocka route (199 km) was put into operation on the following dates:
- Tłuszcz - Łochów 21 km 22.12.1981

On December 21, 1985, the electrification of the Wrocław - Legnica - Bolesławiec - Węgliniec route, 123 km long, was completed. Stages of this electrification:
- Wrocław Leśnica - Legnica - Miłkowice 61 km (on this line there was a risk of introducing a 25 kV 50 Hz power supply system. 23.XII.1984
- Miłkowice - Węgliniec 62 km on December 21, 1985.
On 30 May 1986, this line is completed with a second connection with an electric traction with Jelenia Góra via Lubań Śl. (section Węgliniec - Lubań Śl. - Jelenia Góra, 74 km long) and the section in the copper basin Legnica - Rudna Gwizdanów, 39 km long. On 28 May 1986, the electrification of the Kraków - Tarnów - Nowy Sącz - Krynica line reaches Marcinkowice near Nowy Sącz (the section Tarnów - Stróże - Nowy Sącz - Marcinkowice, 96 km long). The electrification to krynica was completed in 1987. The line was electrified in stages:
- Tarnów - Tuchów 19 km, 30 November 1984
- Tuchów - Gromnik 10 km August 23, 1985
- Gromnik - Nowy Sącz - Marcinkowice 67 km 1986
- Nowy Sącz - Krynica / Nowy Sącz Leluchów (Plavec) 69 km 1987

- Racibórz - Chałupki 20 km 1986.
On September 12, 1986, the northern bypass of WWK Warszawa Gdańska - Warszawa Czyste was included in the service of suburban trains. In 1987, the railway line from Jelenia Góra to Szklarska Poręba was electrified.
Along with the political system changes, the electrification of Polish railways slowed down, and finally stopped in December 1994, when the traction network on the Olsztyn Główny - Bogaczewo railway line was put into use.
Modern times

Harriet Travers Wadsworth Harper ( – ) was an American equestrian and foxhunter.
Harriet Travers Wadsworth was born on in Newport, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of US Representative James Wolcott Wadsworth and Maria Louisa Travers, daughter of businessman William R. Travers.
She came from a family with a strong background in horse riding and fox hunting; her uncle W. Austin Wadsworth was Master of the Genesee Valley Hunt. She began riding sidesaddle at age five. She was later diagnosed with scoliosis and the doctor suggested ridding sidesaddle facing the offside (right) of the horse, opposite of the customary position. She rode in this fashion the rest of her life.
Growing up, she made frequent visits to her aunt Elizabeth Wadsworth Post in the United Kingdom. On one of those visits, she met a young Eleanor Roosevelt, a friend and classmate of her cousin Nelly Post, and recalled her as “the little American girl who was so homesick."
In 1913, Wadsworth married Fletcher Harper (1874-1963), a polo player who was the grandson of Fletcher Harper. They were engaged while Harper was in the hospital with a broken leg following "a tussle with a fractious horse". They eventually settled in Friendship Farm near The Plains, Virginia. Fletcher Harper was master of the Orange County Hunt from 1920 to 1953. The couple are credited with promoting the sport of foxhunting in the area, working with local landowners to open the land to the sport and popularizing it there among American elites.
In 1930 Harper and her husband were painted by the portrait painter Ellen Emmet Rand. Both portraits were included in Rand's 1936 New York exhibition Sporting Portraits.
In 1966, she published an autobiography, Around the World in Eighty Years on a Sidesaddle.
Harriet Travers Wadsworth Harper died on November 2, 1975 in Warrenton, Virginia.
