"Kaattu Payale" is the 2020 Tamil song featured in the soundtrack of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, directed by Sudha Kongara. Composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, written by Snehan and sung by Dhee, the track is a melody number pictured on Suriya and Aparna Balamurali. The track was released as a single on 23 July 2020, on the occasion of Suriya's birthday. As of 25 January 2022, the lyrical version of the track crossed 100 million views.
Background
The track was recorded during late-April and early-May 2019 in overseas. Singer Dhee recorded the track, in his first collaboration with Prakash Kumar, though it was revealed to be a "funky" number. During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India in late-April 2020, Prakash interacted with fans through social media, further revealing the track's title and the lyricist Snehan working on it. It was revealed to be a "slow-paced energetic dance track" which was "fun and interesting". On 19 July 2020, it was revealed that the track will be released on the occasion of Suriya's birthday (23 July 2020) with a promo song being released on that date. The audio single and lyrical video were released through streaming and video platforms respectively.
Reception
Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express called "Kaattu Payale" as a "folkish romantic song which is instantly likeable" and praised Suriya and Aparna's chemistry as "unmissable". Khushboo Ratda of Pinkvilla further called it as a "perfect musical and visual delight" and the "euphonic tune is sure to give you the chills". Vipin Nair of Music Aloud stated "Composer (GV Prakash) gets Dhee to deliver the more upbeat Kaattu Payale, and once again the choice of singer is perfect for the kind of song it is (quite suits Aparna Balamurali’s onscreen persona as well, truth be told). Very imaginative melody from GVP here, playing smartly with the pacing of the words, the occasional switchover to a darker flavour et al [at all]." Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote in his weekly review, saying "In what seems like a song meant for Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, GVP hands over to Santhosh Narayanan-camp’s Dhee! She does really well, though, and GVP’s choice of tune-twist for ‘Mundhiyila Sorugi Vecha Sillaraya Pola’ makes the song really interesting!"
Commercial performance
Within two weeks of the track's release, the song featured in the Top 100 Indian Songs on YouTube. The track was listed by Anjana Shekar (along with "Veyyon Silli") in her article about 7 Tamil Songs That Needed in Your Playlist, for the Indian digital news platform, The News Minute. The Times of India, listed "Kaattu Payale" in one of in the 5 Chartbuster Tamil Songs of 2020.

Supasundae is a British thoroughbred racehorse that won multiple Grade 1 races across Great Britain and Ireland in the colours of owners Ann & Alan Potts.
Career
Supasundae was foaled in January 2010 and sold at Tattersalls October Yearlings sale in 2011 for 195,000gns.
His first race came at Wetherby for trainer/owner Tim Fitzgerald with a win in a National Hunt Flat Race. Days later he was listed for sale at the Goffs Newbury Sale 2014. Training was switched to Andrew Balding and ownership to Northern Line Racing Limited. Again, Supasundae would win a Bumper this time at Ascot beating future Grade 1 winners Thistlecrack and Yanworth.
Notable national hunt owners Ann & Alan Potts acquired Supasundae and in 2015 ahead of the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, training switched again to Henry De Bromhead. The first success for his new owners came in December at Leopardstown in a Maiden Hurdle. Supasundae returned to Cheltenham for the 2016 Festival but finished only 7th in the Supreme Novices Hurdle. Following defeat at the Punchestown Festival the following month, training was switched again to Jessica Harrington.
The first win for the new trainer partnership came at Punchestown with jockey Robbie Power. Power would be in the saddle at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival taking victory in the Coral Cup, before finishing second in the Liverpool Hurdle a month later. Shortly after this run, owner Alan Potts passed away. Supasundae would continue running in his late owners colours for the remainder of his career.
Returning from the summer break, Supasundae collected his first Grade 1 victory at Leopardstown winning the 2018 Champion Hurdle. He would finish second in the Cheltenham Stayers Hurdle in March and again in the Aintree Hurdle in April. Success however came back in Ireland winning the 2017 Punchestown Champion Hurdle.
Supasundae finished second in three Grade 1 races in a row in Ireland from December 2018 to February 2019, before a lacklustre display in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham finishing only seventh. Success came at Aintree with victory in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle, a race he finished second in just the year prior.
After failing to retain his crown in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle, and finishing last in both the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown and Hattons Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse, Supasundae was retired.

Cramlington Aerodrome was a military airfield established in Northumberland during the First World War. It became a civil airfield serving the Tyneside area of north-east England and operated until 1935, when it was replaced by Woolsington Airport, now known as Newcastle International Airport.
History
Military
In response to German Zeppelin airship raids over the industrially vital Tyneside area in 1915, a flight of three Royal Flying Corps (RFC) B.E.2c fighters were based at a field near Cramlington in late November to defend against further raids. The aircraft arrived on 1 December 1915 and were housed in canvas hangars. The site was chosen as it was higher and thus less prone to fog than local coastal locations.
The British Army and Royal Navy at first debated who should operate the field, with the army winning, and on 1 February 1916 No. 36 (Home Defence) Squadron was officially formed and three hangars were built. The airfield officially became RFC Cramlington, the first RFC airfield in the north-east of England. Extensive wooden buildings were constructed for offices, stores and accommodation, mostly on the far side of the road that ran down the east side of the airfield, which was also bordered to the north by a railway line.
Operations continued a high intensity throughout the rest of the war, and a radio transmitter mast was erected to enable information and instructions to be sent to pilots from the ground. Training also became an important function at the airfield. When the RFC became the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918 the airfield became RAF Cramlington.
In April 1918, the first flight of the Armstrong Whitworth F.M.4 Armadillo fighter took place at Cramlington because their normal field, at Town Moor Aerodrome in Newcastle, was surrounded by obstructions and too rough. The aircraft was not a success.
Further land was requisitioned for the construction of a larger hangar, the building of which extended into 1919. However the RAF had no further plans for the airfield, and it was reduced to Care and Maintenance status on 22 January 1920, and the RAF left completely in March.

Civil
In the early 1920s the airfield, then known as "Cramlington Aerodrome", or sometimes "Newcastle Airport", saw little use, and the buildings received little maintenance. However in July 1925 The Newcastle upon Tyne Light Aeroplane Club, later renamed the Newcastle on Tyne Aero Club, was formed. It was commonly called the "Newcastle Aero Club". The members funded the building of a new hangar and with a grant from the Air Ministry bought two de Havilland DH.60 Cirrus Moths, G-EBLX, named 'Novocastria', and G-EBLY, named 'Bernicia', soon followed by two more. The club remained a loyal Moth operator with at least another six acquired over the following years.
A small company named Pleasure Flying Services Ltd. operated pleasure flights from early 1929 using Avro 548 G-EBPO, which they acquired from the Aero Club. It was a three-seat conversion of the two-seat Avro 504. Later that year they expanded, acquiring Simmonds Spartan two-seater G-AAGV and three-seater G-AAHV. 'GV crashed in September 1930 and was rebuilt as a three-seater re-registered as G-ABXO.
One of the earliest pupils of the Aero Club was Constance "Connie" Leathart, a young socialite who, despite crashing on her first solo flight, 24 February 1926, went on to become an accomplished pilot. With her great friend, Walter Leslie Runciman, 2nd Viscount Runciman of Doxford, they formed Cramlington Aircraft Ltd, and took over the aircraft and business of Pleasure Flying Services on 30 October 1929. The company managed the aerodrome and ran a maintenance and repair operation. It also built gliders from scratch including a Zögling type designed by Mr Alec Bell, and in 1930 designed and built three examples of the Cramlington Cramcraft primary glider.
A president of the Newcastle Aero Club, Sam Smith, was the founder of Ringtons Tea. In 1931 he was a founder member of Newcastle Gliding Club at Cramlington, which mainly used winch-launching for take-offs. The club's president was Walter Leslie Runciman, and they used a Cramlington Cramcraft as a basic trainer.
Scheduled services
George Nicholson started an experimental service, trading as "Northern Airways", from his base at Cramlington to the Isle of Man (Hall Caine Airport) via Carlisle (Kingstown Municipal Airport) in his De Havilland DH.84 Dragon G-ACFG, running from 1 August 1934 to 30 September. He went on to start Northern & Scottish Airways in Glasgow later that year.
In April 1935 North Eastern Airways started a service to link Edinburgh (Turnhouse) with London (Heston Airport) via Newcastle (Cramlington) and Leeds (Yeadon). The Edinburgh leg was delayed until 27 May. There was little demand, and the service stopped on 27 June.
Events
The Newcastle Aero Club held its opening ceremony on 26 November 1925, at which its first two Moths were named. It organised its first Annual Flying Meeting on 4 September 1926 in which the Fleet Air Arm took part, with 406 Flight sending a large number of Fairey Flycatchers.
On 7 July 1929, Alan Cobham visited Cramlington on his Municipal Aerodrome Campaign. He judged that the airfield at Newcastle's Town Moor, from which he had operated the pervious day, was too rough and dangerous for his de Havilland DH.61 Giant Moth (registered G-AEEV and named Youth of Britain) and had relocated to Cramlington. The engine cut out and he landed, demolishing a tent and running into a wire fence, tearing off a wing, and stopping a few yards from the clubhouse. No one was harmed, and the aircraft was quickly repaired.
On 5 October 1929 three significant air races were held during an Air Pageant; the Air League Challenge Cup, the Grosvenor Challenge Cup, and the SBAC Challenge Cup. They were all won by members of the Newcastle Aero Club in its DH.60 Moth G-EBPT.
The King's Cup Air Race took place on 5 July 1930, and Cramlington was the third of four stops on the circular route which started and finished in Hanworth Air Park in London. With 88 starters, this was to be the largest field in the history of the race, and the 71 aircraft which survived as far as Cramlington all arrived in the space of just over an hour, causing considerable chaos but only two minor accidents.
On 31 August 1930 an Air Fete was held which included a race. The Grosvenor Challenge Cup race was held again on 22 August 1931.
A London to Newcastle Air Race was instituted by the Aero Club, flying from Heston to Cramlington on 30 May 1931. It was repeated, starting from Brooklands in 1932, 1933 and 1934, and the last ones were to Woolsington in 1935 and 36
Alan Cobham's National Aviation Day "Flying Circus" displays visited Cramlington on the following dates: 2 and 3 July 1932, 1 and 2 July 1933 (No. 2 Tour), 8 September 1934 and 26 and 27 July 1935 (Astra Show).
The British Hospitals Air Pageant visited on 12 August 1933. Among the displays was the unique Miles M.1 Satyr G-ABVG and the De Havilland DH.60M Moth VH-UQA in which C. W. A. Scott made his record-breaking return flights from Australia to Britain.
Demise
On 26 July 1935, Woolsington Aerodrome opened, about to the south-west, as a great improvement on Cramlington (it would become Newcastle International Airport later). Almost all of Cramlington's users and residents had moved there by May 1936 in which month Cramlington Aircraft ceased trading, and the airfield was left almost deserted. An exception was the Gliding Club, which remained until the outbreak of World War II in September 1939.
During World War II the airfield was unused. After the war, attempts were made to restart some aviation activity, but the airfield was soon abandoned. Little of the old aerodrome remains. The landing ground is now open grassland encroached upon by the Shotton open-cast coal mine. and the buildings area is now the Bassington Industrial Estate.
Airship station
Construction of a Royal Naval Airship Station, RNAS Cramlington, started in 1918 at Nelson Village, about half a mile (0.8km) to the east of the existing aerodrome. It was planned that four Submarine Scout Twin (SST) airships would be based here, but construction of the large airship shed to house them was not finished until 1919. However the planned airships did operate from here for a short period, along with a complement of twenty officers and around 280 men.
The site was soon abandoned, but the huge airship shed was taken over by British Airships Ltd which later changed its name to the Airship Development Company. Here they assembled what was claimed to be Britain's first private airship, the AD.1. This had been designed principally by Reginald Foster Dagnall, who had designed previous airships and founded the RFD company. The airship was built in Guildford, Surrey, but as most airship sheds in Britain had been demolished, it was brought to Cramlington for inflation and testing.
Registered G-FAAX, its first flight was on 13 September 1929 and after several test flights was deflated for modifications. Flying again the following May, it performed its intended role in aerial advertising, with large banners attached to its sides. Business was hard to come by, however, and the airship had to travel far to get work. On a commission in Belgium for a cigarette company, it was destroyed in a storm on 5 October 1930. The remains were returned to Britain and auctioned, and the company was liquidated the next year.
The shed was little used until after World War II, but in later years was used for the production of concrete lamp posts, It survived until 1967 when it was demolished. The site is now the South Nelson Industrial Estate.
Accidents and incidents
0n 5 April RFC BE2c 1916 of 36 (HD) Sqn was sent up to intercept Zeppelin L16. It hit a building on night approach to Cramlington and its bombs exploded, killing the pilot.
On 2 October 2016 RFC Avro 504A 7970 of 58 Sqn lost speed on a turn and dived in near Cramlington. The pilot was killed.
On 5 January 1917 RFC Avro 504A A555 of 63 Sqn stalled and dived in during the pilot's first solo flight. The pilot was killed.
On 24 June 1926 Gnosspelius Gull No 2 (unregistered) dived in on landing, killing the pilot, the chief flying instructor at Newcastle Aero Club.
On 22 February 1927 De Havilland DH.60 Moth G-EBLY of the Newcastle Aero Club crashed after an engine failure on take-off and was written off. Previously it had crashed on landing on 6 January 1926 and been returned to De Havilland at its base at Stag Lane, London for repair. On 26 November the same year it hit a fence on take-off and was again sent to Stag Lane, returning on 23 January 1927. All incidents happened at Cramlington and none resulted in fatalities.
On 23 November 1928 a violent storm caused a hangar to collapse, damaging the Aero Club's Moths G-EBLX, G-EBPT and G-EBQV. They were all repaired and returned to service.
On 1 December 1929 De Havilland DH.60 Moth G-EBPT of the Newcastle Aero Club was written off when it spun into a quarry during a landing at Cramlington, injuring the two occupants. Just a few weeks earlier it had won three prestigious air races in one day (see Events above). It had previously been damaged in the hangar collapse on 23 November 1928 and been repaired.
In media
The Aerodrome is mentioned in The Black Peril, a Biggles novel by W.E. Johns published in 1935.

Simon Fraser, 1st Laird of Lovat (died 1333) was the ancestor and first chief of the Clan Fraser of Lovat which is a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. He was killed in 1333 at the Battle of Halidon Hill during the Second War of Scottish Independence.
Early life
He was the second son of Sir Andrew Fraser who died in 1308 and his elder brother was Alexander Fraser of Touchfraser and Cowie who was the ancestor of the Clan Fraser in the Scottish Lowlands. Their father, Sir Andrew Fraser, was the cousin of Simon Fraser (died 1306) who was known as the Patriot and who had been hanged, drawn, and quartered by the English.
His father had estates in Caithness but Simon was the first of the family to hold estates in the county of Inverness where he came to hold the estate of Lovat.
Wars of Scottish Independence
Simon Fraser first appears on record in 1308 when he joined Robert the Bruce (Robert I of Scotland) at the Battle of Inverurie where they defeated John Comyn, Earl of Buchan. A charter has survived from Robert I of Scotland to "Sir Alexander Fraser, knight and his brother, Simon Fraser". Simon Fraser also supported Robert the Bruce in his victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and fought in support of Domhnall II, Earl of Mar against Edward Balliol at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in 1332 where his brother, Alexander Fraser, was killed. Simon Fraser was killed at the Battle of Halidon Hill fighting against the English in 1333.
Family
Simon Fraser had married Margaret, daughter of John, Earl of Orkney and Caithness. Upon the death of Magnus, Earl of Orkney and Caithness, Simon Fraser unsuccessfully claimed the earldom through his wife in contest with Malise V, Earl of Strathearn. However, Simon Fraser successfully acquired the property of Lovat through his wife's mother who was the daughter of Graham of Lovat. Simon Fraser and his wife Margaret had the following children:
Simon Fraser, 2nd Laird of Lovat.
Hugh Fraser, 3rd Laird of Lovat.
James Fraser, who was knighted by Robert III of Scotland and who was killed in the Anglo-Scottish Wars.
Janet Fraser, of whom nothing is known.

Epiphyllum grandilobum is an epiphytic species of cactus native to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama. This species occurs in elevations of 20 to 1100 m in continuously declining forest habitats, which are threatened by housing and urban areas, tourism and recreational areas, in addition to annual and perennial non-timber crops. The populations are severely fragmented. International trade is restricted to the terms of CITES appendix II, in oder to prevent poaching of wild populations. One source suggests the species is also found in Guatemala. The specific epithet grandilobum, meaning "big-lobed", refers to the unusually large lobes of the phyllocladia.

Richard Marshall (died 1779) was responsible for co-running, and then independently running the Dicey print publishing business in London, which existed during the middle decades of the eighteenth century. Initially, this was run by Cluer Dicey (1715–1775) alone, yet in 1753 Marshall purchased a quarter of the business, and in 1764 he became an equal partner. After the death of Dicey in 1775, he became the sole owner. When Marshall began working in 1753, the business operated from Aldermary Churchyard, London, where it remained until his death.
Marshall continued to publish popular prints, chapbooks, broadside ballads and popular songs, illustrating all of these with woodcuts, just as he had with Dicey. He probably kept in print everything he had inherited from the business's predecessors, the only change being the addition, perhaps, of his own imprint. With the exception of a few maps, however, none of these have survived. He published some new prints, for example updated editions of maps and satires completed in the Dutch style, but these were very limited. However, he did move into new areas such as children's publishing, possibly influencing his son John John Marshall (publisher).
When Marshall died in 1779, the business was divided between his son John, his nephew James, and his widow Eleanor. John received 50 percent, whilst the others received 25 percent each. The new business became known as ‘John Marshall and Co.’, operating like this for a further ten years until John took sole ownership in 1789.

The Long Road North is the eighth studio album by the Swedish metal band Cult of Luna (their ninth if including Mariner (2016), their collaborative album with Julie Christmas). The album was released on 11 February 2022 through Metal Blade Records.
Promotion
To promote the album, on 1 December 2021, Cult of Luna released the song "Cold Burn" prior to the release of The Long Road North, with a music video created using Unreal Engine, in collaboration with North Kingdom and Arctic Game Lab. The band also released the song "Into the Night" on 13 January 2022. In support of The Long Road North, Cult of Luna will embark on a 2022 tour through Europe in February, March, and October. One of those concerts include their Beyond The Redshift festival on 12 March 2022, co-headlined with many bands such as Alcest, Brutus, and Svalbard.
Reception
The album was generally well received critically, earning two positive reviews in Louder Sound. At Metal Injection, Ben G. labeled The Long Road North "a superb album that is more mature, nuanced and consistent than their 2019 masterpiece, A Dawn to Fear, but also maybe a bit less transcendental." Ellis Heasley of Distorted Sound explained in a review, "Even by their supremely lofty standards, The Long Road North is yet another triumph for the band. Nearly 70 minutes feels like no time at all, with the album working best when given your undivided attention. Once it’s over, you'll no doubt be quick to take this 'long road' all over again."

Bishop Isaiah of Salona (; 1780 - 23 April 1821) was a Greek cleric. He was the first bishop who died fighting, in the Greek Revolution of 1821.
Biography
He was born in Desfina, Phocis, in a house near the church of Agios Charalambos in 1769 and was baptized Elias, the third child of the family of the priest Papa-Stathis and Archontos. His brothers were named Giannis (who became a shepherd) and Theodosis, who became a monk at the Monastery of Saint Luke. At the age of 18 he was sent by his father to Amfissa to prepare for a religious life, serving close to the monk named Gerasimos Lytsikas. In 1797 he became a monk in the Monastery of the Holy Forerunner of Desfina, taking the name of Isaiah and was ordained a deacon in the Monastery of Saint Luke. He studied in Ioannina, near Kosmas Balanos and Athanasios Psalidas. In Ioannina he met Ali-Pasha, whom Isaiah's father saved, named Papa-Stathis around the middle of the 18th century, when he found him half-dead in a cave and treated him. Promoted quickly Abbot, due to his young age, raised his interest from Patriarch Cyril VI of Edirne where he invited him in 1814 to Constantinople for training. There he met Patriarch Gregory V, but was also initiated into the Friendly Society, in 1818. In the same year he was ordained bishop where he took over as bishop of Salona after the death of Joachim, following the persuasions of local prelates and Ali's own. Two years later he became a member of the Friendly Society, developing charitable activities, raising money and weapons which he stored in Salona.
In January 1821 he was hastily summoned to Constantinople by Patriarch Gregory E. From the existing correspondence between the two men it is obvious that both of them worked from the previous year for the preparation of the Race using symbolic phrases. During this meeting, after receiving specific instructions for the Peloponnese, he went there in February, where he met the German bishops of Old Patras, Gregory of Nafplio, and Daniel of Tripoli. Then on March 11 he landed in Antikyra, returning to his diocese and from there to Livadia where he met the bishops Dionysios II of Athens and Neophytos Talantios.He then met with Athanasios Diakos, who at that time had the trust of the local leader Kara Ismail-bey, while he came to terms with the elites of the area.
Revolutionary activities
In February 1821, Isaiah with his brother and the abbot of the priory of Holy Loukas Chatzis were in Constantinople where he met with the patriarch. In 11 March he returns and lands secretly in Antikyra. He goes to the priory of Holy Loukas Chatzis, where Athanasios Diakos was waiting for him. In the evening prayer, he swears to the Revolution the askeri of Diakos. He then goes to Salona and makes arrangements with Panourgias. Weapons and ammunition arrives from Galaxidi and they have been distributed to the homes of the prominent. In 24 March, he blesses again the ammunition of the men of Panourgias, at the monastery of the prophet Ilias. There are also present the provosts of the Salonon Anagnostis Giaghtzis, Anagnostis Kehagias, Rigas Kontorigas. In 25 March Gkouras conquers Galaxidi and in the 28th of March Skaltsodimos conquers Lidoriki. In 26 March, Isaiah arrives again in Holy Loukas where Diakos is. A glorification is taking place and the next day the armed men left to fight. In 27 March, the siege against the castle of Salonon begins from the revolutionaries of Panourgias, while in town a Greek administration is being held. An official beginning of the Revolution is being carried out in town from Isaiah Salonon swearing the revolutionaries along with the two other bishops at the monastery of Holy Loukas, that had become the Agia Sophia of Roumeli. While the monasteries of Prodromos and Saint Paraskevi are blessing the weapons of the attendees against the Ottoman Turkish fighters, essentially proclaiming officially the Revolution in Boeotia. In first of April Livadia is conquered.
After the fall of the Castle of Livadia in 1 April and the fall of the Castle of Salonon in 10 April (at Easter) in the hands of the Greeks, Isaiah hurried to meet Diakos and Diovouniotis at Zitouni. Joining in the fight of Alamana Isaiah, holding the Cross, leading the Greek fighters. But in the collision with the troops of Omer Vrionis he is fatally injured while at the same time his brother is also being killed, the preach known as Priest Ioannis. The Ottoman beheaded the dead body of Isaiah, his brothers and others Greek fighters and placed them oppositely from Diakos while he was being brutally executed with impalement in Lamia. After his death the threw them in a waft along with the body of the executed.

ΤΟΙΣ ΕΚ ΔΕΣΦΙΝΗΣ ΤΗΣ ΠΑΡΑΝΑΣΣΙΔΟΣ ΑΔΕΛΦΟΙΣ ΗΣΑΙΑ ΑΜΦΙΣΣΗΣ ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΩ ΚΑΙ ΙΩΑΝΝΗ ΙΕΡΕΙ ΠΕΣΟΥΣΙΝ ΕΝ ΧΑΛΚΩΜΑΤΑ ΩΔΕ
23 ΑΠΡΙΛΙΟΥ 1821
ΥΠΕΡ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΟΣ ΕΙΣ ΜΑΧΗΝ ΑΛΑΜΑΝΑΣ
ΚΟΙΝΩ ΕΡΑΝΩ 1916.
There is also a bust of Isaiah exits in the outside of the metropolitan temple of Desfina and a statue of him in Amfissa.
Isaiah in the arts
Valaoritis, as an epilogue chant of Aiakos places the following lyrics:
«... Στ' αγέρι κρεμασμένα ωσάν καντήλια τ' ουρανού, αποβραδίς δυο φώτα εφάνηκαν στη σκοτεινιά... Κανείς δεν τάχε ανάψει... Κ' ένας που πέρασε απεκεί, καλόγερος, διαβάτης, κ' είδε το θάμμα κ' έδραμε, στη λάμψη δυο κεφάλια ηύρε που πλάγιαζαν γλυκά... τώνα του Παπαγιάννη και τάλλο του Δεσπότη του. Γονατιστός εμπρός τους έμειν' ο γέρος κ' έκλαψε. Τους έρριξε τρισάγιο τα φίλησε στο μέτωπο και με το δοκανίκι έσκαψε λάκκο κ' έθαψε τ' αχώριστα τ' αδέρφια. Βλογάει το χώμα τρεις φοραίς... Έκαμε το σταυρό του και χάνεται στην ερημιά... Εσβήστηκαν τα φώτα»...

Maxine Walker (born 1962) is a British-Jamaican photographer and critic. Based in Handsworth and active between 1985 and 1997, Walker has been described by Rianna Jade Parker as "a force within the Black British Art movement". Her photographs emphasise the fictive nature of documentary convention, and "raise questions about the nature of identity, challenging racial stereotypes".
Life
Maxine Walker was born in 1982 in Birmingham.
Walker's 1987 series Auntie Lindie's House challenged the unmediated nature of documentary photography, replicating photographic conventions within a fictional context. Black Beauty, a 1980s series, and Untitled, a series for the 1995 Self Evident exhibition, both consisted of self-portraits. Untitled contained a sequence of ten closely-cropped black and white photographs, in which Walker appeared to peel away successive layers of her surface skin.
Walker has written various reviews and texts for art magazines and exhibition-related publication. After Polareyes, a 1987 exhibition of black women photographers at the Camden Arts Centre, she co-edited and contributed to a short-lived journal of the same name. In 1999 she published a short artist's book in the series published by Autograph.

Soundtrack

Release
The film was theatrically released on 11 February 2022 coinciding with the release of Khiladi.
Reception
The film received negative reviews from critics although the performances, music, visuals are praised they criticized the wafer thin story and screenplay. 123 Telugu gave the film a rating of 2.75/5 and wrote "Sehari is a passable rom-com that has a good first half and climax. The situational comedy works out well but the film is filled with lag in multiple scenes. If you ignore this aspect, you can give this romantic drama a shot this weekend". Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave the film 2.5/5 and wrote "Sehari is not a terrible rom-com, it’s just not innovative or fresh either. If you’re not bored of the same stories the film industry keeps churning out, this one’s for you".
Pinkvilla gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote "Abhinav Gomatam, as Varun's friend, is deployed to do the needful. In a film whose writing is consistently silly, Prashanth R Vihari's music is the film's only meritorious aspect. 'Idhi Chala Bagundhile' is enjoyable. The cinematography is another asset". Prakash Pecheti of Telangana Today stated "Although ‘Sehari’ looks to be a tested trope in the very first glimpse, it has the screenplay that doesn't deviate your attention as an audience. Away from the regular cliched film conversation in a commercial cinema, director Gnanasagar tries to present the comedy in a more organic and subtle manner".

The 2023 Guildford Borough Council election is scheduled to take place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Guildford Borough Council in England. This is on the same day as other local elections.
Boundary Changes
The election will be contested on new ward boundaries, due to a periodic review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The council size will remain unchanged at 48 councillors.
Background
There have been changes to the political make up of the council since the 2019 election. In the May 2021 local elections three by-elections were held simultaneously to fill vacancies on the council (two due to resignations, one due to the death of a councillor). However, each seat was won by the same party which has won it at the 2019 election. Subsequently, in November 2021, a Liberal Democrat councillor defected to the Conservatives, taking them to 10 seats on the council and reducing the Liberal Democrats to 16.
Additionally, the sole Green party councillor chose to sit as part of the R4GV group on the council shortly after the May 2019 election, but continues to be a Green party councillor.
Going in to the election, the council administration consists of a Liberal Democrats and R4GV coalition, with the Conservatives forming the main opposition party.

Death at the Helm is a 1941 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street. It is the thirty fourth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective. It makes reference to earlier stories in the series as the lawyer had defended in court the murderers Priestley had exposed in The Corpse in the Car and Death on the Boat Train. The characters in it were arguably more complexly drawn than in other books by the author.
Synopsis
The wife of the celebrated barrister Hugh Quarrenden and another man die, apparently of poisoning after drinking a gin cocktail aboard the yacht Lonicera. Priestley deduces that the drinks had been spiked, but has to work out who would want to kill the couple. Before long he discovers that they both have complex private lives.

Lea Del Bo Rossi (1903–1978), also known as Lea Rossi Del Bo, was an Italian medical researcher who studied clinical microscopy and neurohistopathology.
Life and work
Lea Del Bo was born 4 March 1903 in Cassano Magnago, Italy, to Adele Mazzucchelli and the doctor Luigi Del Bo. After high school, she enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pavia and studied clinical microscopy and neurohistopathology with Camillo Golgi (1843–1926), Luigi Sala (1863–1930), Edoardo Perroncito (1847–1936) and Scipione Riva-Rocci (1863–1937). She graduated with honors in 1925.
To continue her thesis research on multiple sclerosis after graduation, she began attending the neurohistopathological laboratory of the Mondino Foundation, directed at that time by the psychiatrist Ottorino Rossi (1877–1936), of whom she would become a pupil and life partner. At some point, Lea added "Rossi" to her own name but in an inconsistent way, sometimes before her maiden name and sometimes after. In Del Bo's obituary, neurologist Giuseppe Carlo Riquier referred to Ottorino Rossi as "her husband."
She conducted clinical research as a doctor at the Provincial Psychiatric Institute of Milan, and published papers on psychiatric therapy, spinal cord automatism, cerebral echinococcosis, treatment of progressive paralysis with penicillin, regeneration nervosa and psychasthenia. There she worked with the institute's director Max Beluffi.
Beginning in the late 1940s, she explored "a staining method based on a Coz-silver impregnation technique, of which she presents the data in various articles in the Experimental journal of freniatria and The brain." She published her results in, The nervous system studied with a new technique, published in two parts in 1949 and 1950, and included many photomicrographs in her publications. In a review of Del Bo's work by Carlo Berlucchi, he said her technique was "capable of revealing figures not yet taken into evidence of nerve cells and fibers."
Del Bo Rossi's research on tumors revealed their "rich innervation," and she formulated a hypothesis on the infectious origin of cancer. Some of her results were met with conflicting opinions but Lea vehemently held her ground. One of her patrons, Beluffi, said in his obituary for Del Bo Rossi that she responded, "with the caustic and pugnacious spirit that characterized her, never shied away" from the "lively interpretative polemics" that accompanied her writings.
Del Bo Rossi published a collection of her most significant research in 1974, just a few years before she died, hoping to publicize her contributions and finally obtain the visibility and public recognition that she felt had escaped her. Her collection, The nervous system studied with a new technique, Consents and evaluations, included comments from some of her followers, both domestic and international.
Selected works
She published many (but not all) of her research using the last name "Rossi Del Bo" and sometimes did not capitalize the first letter in "Del."

Emil Naucke (May 2, 1855 – January 25, 1900) was a German professional wrestler and artist.
Personal life
Naucke was born in Poel. Legend has it that he weighed 14 kilograms after just one month as a baby. Despite his high weight, he distinguished himself as a gymnast at a young age who liked to devote himself to tightrope walking. Naucke had originally started an apprenticeship as a baker, but at the age of 14 he joined a troupe of artists with whom he traveled through Europe and the USA. At the age of 18 he went to Hamburg, where he appeared in the St. Georg Theater and in various bars in Sankt Pauli.
He was successful in show business as a professional wrestler. Since his body weight increased steadily - at a height of only 1.70 m at the age of 38 years, he finally weighed 235 kilograms and had a waist circumference of 190 cm - he later gave up wrestling completely and, as a so-called colossal man, concentrated entirely on strength acrobatics, artistic performances and parodies .
In 1880, Naucke founded his own agency and appeared in numerous German and international cities such as Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid and Helsinki. As an extremely popular power man at the time, Emil Naucke performed in circuses and variety shows around the world. He presented sensational acts of strength, such as lifting a 106 kilogram iron weight and often carried an iron ball weighing almost 40 kilograms with him on a chain, with which he played effortlessly. He also performed cycling tricks and appeared in numerous skits written especially for him. One of his best-known comic roles was the figure of "Pauline from the ballet", in which he transformed into a ballerina, dressed in a ballerina's costume that appeared grotesque in the light of his size. As ("Naucke with the kettledrum"), he became a by-word among Berliners.
In 1890, he settled in Hamburg, but was initially only present between his tours in the city. Every year he directed an extensive variety program at the Hamburg Winter Cathedral festival and at the Circus Rauterkrug in Lübeck. In his own appearances, he slipped into self-conceived burlesque roles such as that of "Pauline from the ballet". Despite his great weight, he showed an unusual agility and received a lot of applause. The small Paul Hansen, who was allegedly shorter than 1 meter, became his congenial partner in numerous comical appearances. The unequal couple presented themselves in the tradition of the freak show, for example performing tricks together on the bike.
In 1896, he opened his own variety theater called Emil Naucke's Varieté at Spielbudenplatz No. 23/24. Naucke became a popular figure in Hamburg in the following years.
Death
On January 25, 1900, immediately after performing at a charity event at the Sagebiel establishment, Emil Naucke died of a heart attack. On the day of his funeral, thousands of people lined the path that the funeral procession took from his vaudeville to Ohlsdorf Cemetery, where he was buried. The memory of Emil Naucke's extraordinary appearance lived on indirectly until the 1970s: 70 years after his death, children in Hamburg still occasionally referred to a bulbous spinning-top or a big marble as a Naucke.

Hugh Monroe (1798-1892) was a Canadian trapper, guide, and interpreter. He worked for Hudson's Bay Company, American Fur Company, and independently throughout his life. He traveled with the Piikani Nation and was known as "Rising Wolf," with Rising Wolf Mountain later named after him.
Biography
Monroe was born on July 9, 1798 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. His father, Hugh Monroe (spelled Munro at the time), was a captain in the British Army and his mother, Amelie de la Roche, was the daughter of a royal family who was part of the French Emigration.
He attended English school in Montreal before moving on to a priest's college for four years, learning to speak both English and French. He began hunting at an early age and later and developed an interest for the outdoors. He later worked for Hudson's Bay Company where he worked as an apprentice-clerk in uncharted areas of modern-day Alberta. During a trip to Fort Edmonton in 1814, he was offered a job to travel with the Piikani Nation to learn their language and customs.
Monroe traveled with the Piikani Nation for two years and became a liaison between them and Hudson's. During his time with the Piikani, he became known as Makwi-poachsin ("Rising Wolf"). He worked with Hudson's until 1823 when he began working independently as a trapper and guide. From 1853-1854, Monroe served as a guide and interpreter for Governor Isaac Stevens who was the first to make a treaty with the Blackfoot Confederacy the following year in 1855.
For the next decade, Monroe and some of his family worked for the American Fur Company in Fort Benton, Montana. He worked as a trapper until the 1880s when he became too old to pursue the trade. He was reported to be living with two of his sons in 1890, somewhere along the Two Medicine River near Holy Family Mission.
Legacy
Rising Wolf Mountain was named after Monroe. After his death, his close friend and author James Willard Schultz named the peak after Monroe. He was also referred to as the "White Blackfoot."
Personal life
Monroe was married to Sinopah, a Blackfoot Confederacy woman, with whom he had 10 children. He died of old age on December 8, 1892. He is the grandfather of William Jackson for whom Jackson Glacier is named.

James Love (17 March 1858 – 27 September 1882) was a Scottish footballer who is acknowledged as one of the first professional football players in England, having played for Darwen in the late 1870s. He was a native of Glasgow and played for Partick before moving to England to play for Darwen. He died in 1882 whilst serving for the British military in Egypt.
Early life
Love was born in Gushetfaulds Cottage in Glasgow during 1858. He set himself up as street-cleaning contractor in Partick but got into financial difficulties and in October 1878, his two horses and his equipment, including a street-sweeping machine, were sold off at a public warrant sale. Shortly afterwards he was summoned to the Glasgow bankruptcy court but he failed to show up and the court postponed the case for a month. On 21 November 1878, he again failed to appear and the local Sheriff issued a warrant for his arrest. It was never served as he had left Scotland and moved to Darwen.
Football
Whilst working, Love initially played for Partick (not the same club as the modern Partick Thistle) and had already visited Lancashire with Partick in the 1878 New Year. In summer 1878 he joined Lancashire club Darwen, arriving before fellow Partick player Fergus Suter.
He scored twice against Eagley in the 1878–79 FA Cup second round and scored two more in the third round victory over Remnants at the Oval, and was in top form when Darwen faced Old Etonians in the famous 5–5 draw on 13 February 1879 where he scored twice a second half comeback from a 5–1 deficit. He was an integral part of the team that season, with the club playing a benefit match for Love and Suter in April 1879. Early the next season he played three times for Darwen, but after the defeat of Haslingden in the Lancashire Cup on 25 October, he disappeared from the team.
The following month he played in a friendly for local rivals Blackburn Rovers. The only other noted appearance was in what is thought to be his final football match, on 10 January 1880 for village side in Haslingden.
Army career
In February 1880 he signed up for the Royal Marines in Liverpool. By 1881 he was a Corporal. In 1882 the Marines were called into action and Love was posted to Egypt during the occupation of Alexandria which followed the Anglo-Egyptian War. Whilst in Egypt he fell ill with enteric fever and died in the military hospital in Ismailia. He is commemorated on the memorial in Tel-el-Kebir cemetery.. His family were in 1883 sent a campaign medal recognising his service. He is also commemorated on a Royal Marine memorial in Rochester Cathedral.
Portrayals
Love is one of the characters in the Netflix mini-series "The English Game" (2020), played by James Harkness.

Oenanthe fistulosa, tubular water-dropwort, is a flowering plant in the carrot family, Apiaceae, native to Europe, North Africa and western parts of Asia. It is a declining plant of wetlands.
Description
Tubular water-dropwort is a hairless, stoloniferous perennial growing up to 80 cm tall with brittle, hollow, inflated cylindrical stems 0.5 cm in diameter, which are constricted at the nodes (hence the specific name fistulosa). The upper leaves are once to twice pinnate with simple linear leaflets; the lower ones 2-3 times pinnate, with wider, flat leaflets, more like those of other umbellifers. The leaf stalks of the upper leaves are fistular, like the stem, and longer than the pinnate leaf blade.
It flowers between July and September in northern Europe, with clusters of 2-4 umbels about 1 cm in diameter, each of which has numerous white to pinkish flowers. A distinguishing feature is that, unlike many other umbellifers, it has no bracts but only small bracteoles on the individual umbels. Plants are monoecious, with hermaphroditic and male flowers on the terminal umbels, and only male flowers on the lateral umbels. Each flower has 5 unequal petals with the larger, outer ones radiating, 5 stamens and 2 prominent styles arising from a swollen base (stylopodium) at the top of the ovary. After flowering, the flower stalks and fruits expand to form distinctive pink balls with the remains of the styles projecting in pairs from the surfaces of the cone-shaped fruits.
The chromosome number is 2n = 22 (based on British specimens).
Distribution and habitat
The global range of tubular water-dropwort is from Europe through the northern half of Africa to western parts of Asia. It occurs no further north than southern Scandinavia and is rare as an introduction beyond its natural range. In Britain and Ireland it is found mainly in the lowland eastern counties, becoming increasingly rare towards the uplands of the north and west. In France the pattern is similar, with the main populations in the southern lowlands, becoming rarer towards the upland regions around the Alps.
It is a wetland plant, occurring naturally in swamps and marshes along valleys and in river deltas such as the Camargue in France and the Doñana National Park in Spain. In well-drained agricultural landscapes it is now more likely to be found in drainage ditches, farm ponds and grazed wet meadows. In some places it is found as a halophyte in coastal dune slacks or brackish grazing marshes, as at Aiguamolls de l'Empordà in Spain or on the Sefton Coast in Britain.
It favours clean, mesotrophic water, slightly base-rich conditions, and moderately high light levels, which make it an axiophyte in most British counties. In France it is an indicator of the Gratiola officinalis-Oenanthe fistulosa community in restored wetlands along the Saône river.
Its Ellenberg values in Britain are L = 7, F = 9, R = 7, N = 6, and S = 0.
Uses
Unlike some other water-dropworts, O. fistulosa is not notably toxic, and it is freely grazed by livestock. It is used in traditional medicine in Algeria and investigations into the essential oil show that there are constituents have could have medical benefits as well as a chemical, Heneicosane, which attracts mosquitoes involved in transmitting Dengue fever. It has even been reported as part of the traditional cuisine in parts of southern Italy.

Disability draft(also called draft of disabled persons) is conscripting the disabled persons. it also includes cases in which disabled person are subject to conscription.
Causes
System and culture that enforces military service without exception.
When you can't find a disability in the physical examination. or when it meets the criteria for passing military service in the case of a mild/minor disability.
When soldiers need to be supplemented, but there is a shortage of conscripted persons.
When the disability of the disabled person is not recognized or can't find a disability during the physical examination process.
Causes where the above(4 causes) are complexly intertwined.
Major subject to draft of disabled persons
Disability conscription is Regardless of the type of disability. Mild/minor disabilities, Invisible disabilities(Mentally disability etc.) are often subject to conscription for the disabled.
Dwarfism(height less than 147 centimeters/4 feet 9 inches)
Visual impairment
Hearing loss
Developmental disability
Intellectual disability
Autism spectrum
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Learning disability
Genetic disorder, Chromosome abnormality
Cases
This cases is related to Disability draft, and there are more cases, including cases unknown to the media.
In Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War, more than 480 people with intellectual disabilities were conscripted.
In the United States during the Vietnam War, there was a disability draft by the project 100,000. There are cases in which drafted disabled person went AWOL 15 times.
in North Korea, The conscription physical examination has eased the criteria for military service suitability due to low height, and even short stature persons(Mostly 140 to 150 centimeters. 142 centimeters, 145 centimeters. etc.) are conscripted. The criteria for exemption from conscription for short people were 138 centimeters or less, and there were times when the criteria for conscription exemption for short people were not applied. It is means that there is also a dwarf conscription in North Korea.
in South Korea's cases
After the main culprit of the was imprisoned in Military Correctional Institution, the main culprit of the imprisoned Yeoncheon medical unit beating death case assaulted the inmates, and one of the victims of the assault was identified as intellectually disabled.
The murderer, who committed a Motiveless murder in Chilgok, Gyeongsangbuk-do(칠곡 묻지마 살인사건), was conscripted and served in the military 13 years before the murder case was committed after being judged to be suitable for active duty by a physical examination. However, he was said to have Desert the military because he was unable to adapt during his military service, and was discharged after being imprisoned for 8 months in a Military Correctional Institution. After that, it was known that he had an intellectual disability even before the physical examination.
There is a case in which a blind person with one eye invisible was disposed of as an subject to active duty conscription(Physical grade 1, which is considered completely healthy physically) in a physical examination.
Case where a visually impaired student attending a vision impairment special school was disposed of as an active duty conscription(Physical grade 1, which is considered completely healthy physically) in a physical examination.
Influence
Disability draft is Violates the human rights of the disabled and loses the combat power of the military. For example, the following may happen.
Physical disability
Mobility impairment: No movement is possible according to the movement of the unit personnel.
Short stature(Generally, height less than 147 centimeters, Dwarfism): A problem similar to Mobility impairment.
Cerebral palsy: In addition to problems similar to Mobility impairment and Short stature(Dwarfism), communication is not possible in a dull tone. As a result, it becomes a problem in the delivery and execution of the unit's orders.
Visual impairment: Shooting and driving are impossible.
Hearing loss: Difficulty in delivering orders, performing orders, and working on boundaries of units.
Developmental Disability(Intellectual disability, Autism spectrum etc.): Although there are differences depending on the type and degree of disability, Can't stand the barracks life. Fail to identify allies or enemies. Pointing a gun at our troops and suddenly shouting to expose our troops' location.
Solutions
Reduce the military troops
Suspended/Abolition of the conscription, conversion to All volunteer military system.

Madrona Arms is a restaurant in Seattle's Madrona neighborhood, in the United States.
Description and history
Peter Johnson opened Madrona Arms in 2015, replacing Madrona Eatery and Ale House. The 2,800-square-foot space, described by Curbed as a "family-friendly pub", accommodates approximately 90 people.
Lonely Planet describes the restaurant as "a newish neighborhood pub in Madrona fashioned in the old British tradition with obvious nods to Seattle (local draft ales). It's run by an Irishman so there's Guinness on tap and some old-country food standards, including bangers and mash, and shepherd's pie." The restaurant also serves corned beef hash and frittatas.
Upon opening, some local residents thought a couple of decorative signs were sexist. The signs were removed immediately. The restaurant hosted an election night party in 2019.
Reception
Bradley Foster included Madrona Arms in Thrillist's 2017 list of Seattle's best Irish pubs, writing, "this fireplace-equipped establishment is a solid everyday hang, thanks to a laid-back atmosphere and a menu featuring Irish nachos (made w/ tater tots), a whiskey crab soup, and classics like shepherd's pie and bangers & mash".

Fever Pitch: The Rise of the Premier League is a four-part documentary series broadcast on BBC Two in 2021. The series is about the foundation and early years of the Premier League.
The series was distributed to streaming platforms around the world. It was praised for its production and its interviews, though some reviewers found it focused too much on Manchester United and omitted fan voices and criticisms of the league.
Synopsis
The series covers the foundation of the Premier League, starting with football hooliganism events such as 1985's Heysel disaster that led to declining attendances in the late 1980s, and going on to the £300 million deal made by Rupert Murdoch to broadcast the new league on Sky Sports. The first episode covers Manchester United's victory in the opening 1992–93 season, including the arrival of Eric Cantona from defending champions Leeds United. The series later covers Blackburn Rovers' win in 1994–95, spearheaded by Alan Shearer. The series later covers Cantona's assault on a fan, and the rivalry between Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsène Wenger. Keith Gillespie, who was traded from Manchester United to Newcastle United as part of a transfer for Andy Cole, discusses his gambling problems.
Production and distribution
The series was produced by Story Films and Studio 99, the latter being owned by David Beckham, who is one of the interviewed footballers. The series was carried by Amazon Prime in Canada, Australia and New Zealand; RTL in German-speaking Europe; Telefónica in Spain and Discovery+ in India, among others.
Reception
Stuart Jeffries of The Guardian gave the series three stars out of five, concluding that it gave Cantona disproportionate credit for Manchester United's success: "The legend of Eric the redeemer, as much as the idea that the Premier League has made football beautiful anew, can be exaggerated".
On Football 365, Ian King praised the production values and archive footage, but criticised the series for "bias by omission" and disproportionate coverage of Manchester United. Among his cited omissions were opposition to the founding of the league, and the conflict of interest of Tottenham Hotspur chairman Alan Sugar that led to satellite channel Sky and not terrestrial channel ITV becoming the broadcast partners. Phil Cunnington of the Lancashire Evening Post, a fan of lower-league team Tranmere Rovers, called the series "glossy yet superficial" for consisting of iconic clips while having little input from fans.
Emily Baker of the i gave a four-star review, praising the interviews with Cantona and Shearer, and James Croots wrote a positive review on New Zealand's Stuff.co.nz web portal. Several reviewers, such as James Walton for The Spectator, were amused by archive clips of Sky's unsuccessful attempts to bring American-style entertainment – such as cheerleaders and half-time shows – to English football.

Thomas Robie (March 20, 1689 – August 28, 1729) was a scientist and physician of the British colonies in America. His scientific interests were primarily in meteorology, astronomy, and medicine.
Biography
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of William and Elizabeth Robie. After graduating from Harvard College with an A.B. in 1708, he taught at a school in Watertown, Massachusetts for about half a year before returning to Boston. Robie published the first of a series of annual almanacs in 1709, which would contain his meteorological observations and studies of the Solar System. He continued his studies at Harvard, and was awarded a Masters of Arts in 1711. In 1712 he was voted a "Library-Keeper" and scholar at Harvard during the period 1712 to 1713.
After seriously considering a career as a Minister, he became a tutor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Harvard in 1913. Among the students he mentored were Thomas Clap, Charles Chauncy, and Isaac Greenwood. He worked to overhaul the Harvard curricula of both science and math, replacing Aristotelianism with the then-recent works of mathematics and physics published by Isaac Newton. From 1715 until 1722 Robie maintained a record of the meteorological conditions at Cambridge. He sought explanations for various weather and climate phenomenon, including Summer heat and the causes of lightning and hail. However, he was much more interested in astronomy.
For his astronomical observations, Robie was supplied with an eight-foot long telescope and other astronomical instruments by Harvard College. He published his observations of an aurora observed on the night of December 11, 1719, which was likely the first scientific pamphlet by an American to be published in America. Robie made a number of observations of the satellites of Jupiter, and he used these observations to deduce the longitude of Harvard. In 1722, Robie prepared to observe an annular solar eclipse with the aid of a newly acquired 24-foot long telescope supplied to the college by Thomas Hollins. Robie published an article about the pending eclipse that appeared in two Boston newspapers titled, "For the Entertainment of the Country and the Promoting of Knowledge". Unfortunately the sky clouded over so he was unable to directly observe the primary eclipse, although he was able to gather notes from observers that allowed him to verify the path.
On February 5 of 1723, Robie resigned his post as tutor at Harvard and moved to Salem he began the practice of medicine. The likely reason for this move was his marriage to Mehitable Sewall of Salem, daughter of Stephen Sewall. Robie's comprehensive knowledge of medicine was apparently self-taught at Harvard, as the colonies had no Medical colleges at the time and he lacked the finances to study abroad. He was known to have practiced medicine in Cambridge prior to his resignation from Harvard. After his relocation, medicine became his primary practice.
During an outbreak of smallpox in Boston in 1722, Robie aided in the administration of the new treatment of inoculation under the guidance of Boston Doctor Zabdiel Boylston. Due to fervent and bitter opposition, the inoculations had to be performed in isolation on Spectacle Island. On May 11 or 12, Robie administered the treatment to eleven patients out of a total of 280, and on the 17th he followed the patients to the hospital for their caretaking. The treatment was considered a success as the 2.1% mortality rate from the inoculation was lower than the 14.9% in the general population of smallpox patients.
On October 29, 1723, Robie used a nine-foot telescope to observe the transit of the planet Mercury across the face of the Sun. He wanted to see if he could detect an atmosphere, and he concluded, incorrectly, that the planet indeed had one. Thereafter there is no record of further astronomical observations, although he intended to continue. On April 15, 1725, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, with whom he had communicated regularly during his career. Little thereafter is known of his scientific observations.
Robie died prematurely on August 28, 1729. During his career he made no important discoveries and many of his explanations later proved incorrect, but he did contribute to advancing scientific activity in New England. Historian Frederick Kilgour considered him to be the "most famous New Englander in science in his day". Robie's son, named Thomas Robie, became a merchant and married Mary Bradstreet, a woman descended from Governor Simon Bradstreet. Being a staunch loyalist of the British government, at the start of the American revolution Robie Jr. fled to Halifax with his family. They returned to Salem following the war, and were initially met with much hostility.
