Alan Poul, David Knoller and Patricia Breen were behind this project.
Plot
Hayden Flynn is a hard worker who hates office politics. Hayden's career has been defined by one small but lasting workplace fiasco that occurred years ago. Trying to get back into the company's good graces, Hayden must compete with her best friend Claire for a promotion. Claire is the ultimate competitor, and is determined to make VP by the time she's 30—but when she unexpectedly finds out she's pregnant, Claire begins to wonder if a woman has to make a choice between career and motherhood. Both women are under the watchful eye of Eve, the ultimate political machine who isn't afraid to ruffle feathers (or sleep with a coworker) to establish her place in the office hierarchy. Then there's Alix, the newbie who's got everything going for her: beauty, an MBA degree and minority status. As compassion and competition collide, all of these women must deal with the issues that arise when you're working with (and competing with) your friends.

17991936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton%20A.%20Hill | Morton A. Hill | Father Morton A. Hill, S.J. (1917-1985) was a leader of the campaign against pornography in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. He was one of the founders of Morality in Media, which was created in 1962 to fight pornography. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.
Believing that the Commission was stacked with supporters of loosening laws on pornography, Hill and another clergyman on the Commission, Dr. Winfrey C. Link, issued the Hill-Link Minority Report rebutting the conclusions of the majority report, which held that pornography should be decriminalized as there were no links between it and criminal behavior.
Issued in 1970, the majority report was rejected by both President Richard Nixon and the United States Congress. The Hill-Link Report, which recommended maintaining anti-obscenity statutes, was read into the record of both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It was cited by the Burger Court in its 1973 obscenity decisions, including Miller v. California.
According to the Morality in Media site, Hill was influential in the Reagan Administration's efforts against pornography. In March 1983, he headed a coalition of groups spearheading the anti-pornography movement that met with President Reagan at the White House.
Hill and his allies recommended that the President appoint an anti-pornography czar to coordinate the federal government's efforts to crack down on porn. The Morality in Media site states, "As a result of this meeting, a White House Working Group on Pornography was formed in June of 1983, and in December, President Reagan addressed the nation's U.S. Attorneys and called for tighter enforcement of the laws."
References in popular culture
Father Hill debated novelist Gore Vidal on the David Susskind Show on March 17, 1968, in a program called "Read Any Dirty Books Lately?" The previous year, Vidal had published a #1 best-selling novel, Myra Breckenridge, which many considered pornographic. In the sequel to the book, Myron, Vidal used Father Hill's name as a euphemism for a "dirty word" in order to conform to the U.S. Supreme Court's Miller v. California decision that enshrined "community standards" as the legal test for pornography.

17992050 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica%20Livingston | Jessica Livingston | Jessica Livingston (born 1971) is an American investor, writer, and podcaster. She is best known for being a founding partner of the seed stage venture firm Y Combinator.
Early life and education
Livingston grew up in the Boston area, raised in large part by her father and grandmother. In 1989, she graduated from Phillips Academy, a high school in Massachusetts. Later, she received a Bachelor of Arts with a major in English from Bucknell University.
Career
After college, Livingston pursued an array of jobs, including work at Fidelity, the Food & Wine magazine, an automotive consulting firm, and a wedding planning service.
Later, Livingston was vice president of marketing at Adams Harkness Financial Group, an investment bank.
Livingston met Paul Graham, Robert Morris and Trevor Blackwell (the co-founders of dot-com company Viaweb) at a party in Cambridge. They discussed creating a startup incubator, and in 2005 the four co-founded Y Combinator. In the early days of YC, Livingston and Graham hosted weekly meals for their founders at their home near Cambridge. Sam Altman (a former YC partner) credits Livingston with being essential to the transformation of Y Combinator into a startup ecosystem. When Graham stepped down from his role leading Y Combinator, handing over to Altman, Livingston increased her day to day involvement, including having responsibility for the organization's Startup School.
In 2016, she took a year-long sabbatical from the incubator to spend time with her family and consider projects and other things she wanted to pursue.
In early 2007, Livingston published Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days, a collection of interviews with famous startup founders, including Steve Wozniak.
In 2013, Livingston launched the Female Founders conference with the aim of inspiring more women to found startup companies.
Livingston is one of the financial backers of OpenAI, a for-profit company aiming to develop artificial general intelligence.
In 2023, she started co-hosting The Social Radars podcast alongside fellow YC partner Carolynn Levy.
Personal life
Livingston married Paul Graham in 2008. Since late 2016, she and her family have resided in the United Kingdom.

17992060 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20David%20Susskind%20Show | The David Susskind Show | The David Susskind Show is an American television talk show hosted by David Susskind which was broadcast from 1958 to 1986. The program began locally in New York City in 1958 as Open End, which referred to the fact that the program was open-ended, with no set scheduled end or timeslot restrictions. In this form, the program would continue until Susskind or his guests had felt the conversation had run its full course, or were exhausted and ended the episode by mutual agreement.
Overview
Open End was launched in 1958 and aired initially in New York over independent station WNTA-TV.
Susskind's interview of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, which aired on October 9, 1960, during the height of the Cold War, generated national attention. Susskind and Khrushchev discussed Soviet-U.S. relations, state sovereignty, the United Nations, the unification of Germany, and other topics in world affairs. It is one of the very few talk show telecasts from that era that was preserved and can be viewed today.
In 1961, Open End moved to WPIX after WNTA-TV ended commercial operations in preparation to become WNET, New York's main noncommercial educational outlet. Susskind continued with the program before ending Open End in the summer of 1966.
Susskind launched his new program, The David Susskind Show in October 1966 with another New York independent station, WNEW-TV as its base. The new effort was also syndicated, as WNEW-TV utilized its sister Metromedia stations to expand the program's reach before a national rollout. Susskind did a two-hour interview including commercials with Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963, two months before the civil rights leader delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. The New York Times reported what it considered the highlight of the interview on its front page: "The civil rights approach of the Kennedy Administration as compared with that of the Eisenhower Administration has merely substituted 'an inadequate approach for a miserable one,' the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared yesterday." Few people have seen the video, which belongs to Historic Films Archive, since 1963.
The title of Susskind's talk show was changed from Open End to The David Susskind Show for its telecast on Sunday night, October 2, 1966. Shows would occasionally tape in Los Angeles, at the studios of KCOP-TV.
On October 10, 1971, the show invited seven lesbian women to be on a panel for a segment called "Women Who Love Women”. The lesbians included Barbara Gittings, Lilli Vincenz, and Barbara Love. They were among the first open lesbians to appear on television in the US, and debated long-held stereotypes about gays with Susskind. This segment is remembered for Gittings saying, "Homosexuals today are taking it for granted that their homosexuality is not at all something dreadful – it’s good, it’s right, it’s natural, it’s moral, and this is the way they are going to be!".
In May 1973, to acknowledge Digestive Disease Week, the show invited three gastroenterologists to discuss therapies for peptic ulcer. Viewer William Dufty had bet that "These three distinguished specialists could go on for the entire ninety minutes without ever mentioning the word sugar." Afterward he noted, "In ninety minutes, they were unable to come up with a single constructive suggestion for the average person to manage their diet in a way that might prevent ulcers."
A December 16, 1981 debate on chiropractic had as participants, among others, Stephen Barrett, a psychiatrist, consumer activist, medical writer and skeptic nowadays mostly known as the webmaster of Quackwatch, and Chester Wilk, a chiropractor who was the plaintiff in Wilk v. American Medical Ass'n.
The show continued until September 1986, at which point WNEW-TV, now under the ownership of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and beginning the transition to being the flagship of the new commercial network Fox, had moved the program to an late Sunday-to-early Monday timeslot, albeit still filling two hours. Susskind chose to end the program himself, six months before his death from a heart attack.
As the successor to Metromedia and WNEW-TV, Fox and WNYW maintain much of the series' archives. Edited segments of the show aired on weekends on Fox News Channel in the early 2000s, with wraparounds hosted by Paula Zahn.

17992088 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Meridian%2C%20Mississippi | History of Meridian, Mississippi | The history of Meridian, Mississippi begins in the early 19th century before European-American settlement. Originally settled by the Choctaw Indians, the land was bought by the United States according to the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830. The city grew around the intersection of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway of Mississippi and developed a largely rail-based economy. Although much of the city was burned down in the Battle of Meridian during the American Civil War, the city was rebuilt and entered a "Golden Age." Between about 1890 and 1930, the city was the largest in Mississippi and a leading center for manufacturing in the Southern United States. After the decline of the railroading industry in the 1950s, the city's economy was devastated, resulting in a slow population decline. The population has continued to decline as the city has struggled to create a new, more modern economy based on newer industries. In the past 20 years or so, Meridian has attempted to revitalize the city's economy by attracting more business and industry to the city, most specifically the downtown area.
Establishment
Under pressure from the US government, the Choctaw Native Americans agreed to removal from all lands east of the Mississippi River under the terms of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830. Although many Choctaws moved to present-day Oklahoma, a significant number chose to stay in their homeland, citing Article XIV of the treaty. Today, most Choctaws, who are part of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, live on several Indian Reservations located throughout the state. The largest reservation is located in Choctaw, MS, northwest of the city.
After the treaty was ratified, European-American settlers rapidly began to officially move into the region. In 1831, only a year after the treaty was signed, a Virginian named Richard McLemore became the first settler of Meridian after receiving a federal land grant of about . McLemore owned most of the land in the area, and his plantation home was the only notable residence in the vicinity at the time. To attract more settlers to the region and develop the area, McLemore began offering free land to newcomers. In 1833, Benjamin Graham also received a land grant of in the area now known as Valley Road. Another pioneer named James Trussell bought some land from W. C. Trussell, who had originally purchased the land while it was still part of the Mississippi Territory. By 1833, enough people had migrated to the area to warrant the creation of a county government; thus, Lauderdale County was established.
In 1853, around the time that construction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad began in the area, most of Richard McLemore's land was bought by Lewis A. Ragsdale, a lawyer from Alabama, and John T. Ball, a merchant from Kemper County. Both men sought to make a profit from the planned crossing of the Mobile and Ohio with the Vicksburg and Montgomery Railroad, but Ragsdale beat Ball to the area by a few days. Ragsdale's bought the McLemore Farm, which was east of present-day 27th Avenue and included much of what would become the central business district. Ball purchased only west of 27th Avenue. McLemore and his family moved north out of the city, and Ragsdale moved into McLemore's log home, turning it into a tavern.
Ragsdale and Ball, now known as the founders of the city, began to compete with each other by laying out lots for new development on their respective land sections. The competition intensified over the desired name for the settlement. Ball believed the word "meridian" was synonymous to "junction," so he, along with the industrial citizens of the city, preferred that name, but the agrarian population of the city preferred "Sowashee," which means "mad river" in a Native American language and is the name of a nearby creek. Also, Ragsdale wanted to name the new settlement Ragsdale City after himself. Ball soon erected a small wooden station house and coerced the owners of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to grant depot privileges to the site. The owners agreed, provided the station was constructed according to their specifications and was furnished at the community's expense. For nearly two years, though, the site was treated as a mere flag station and denied ordinary station accommodations while the expense of station maintenance fell on Ball himself.
The competition continued between Ragsdale and Ball. Each day the sign on the station house would be changed, alternating between Meridian and Sowashee. Instead of compromising, the two founders began to lay out city streets with differing plans. One day one of them would drive stakes in line with his plan, and the next day, the other would pull up his rival's stakes and drive some of his own. Ball laid his streets parallel to the railroad, and Ragsdale chose to use true compass headings. The competition is still evident today in the angles at which some streets meet in the city. The intersecting area has been described as "having been formed by some giant who playfully gathered up a
handful of triangles and dropped them at the junction of two railroads."
Eventually the continued development of the railroads led to an influx of railroad workers who overruled the others in the city and left "Meridian" on the station permanently, and the town was officially incorporated as Meridian on February 10, 1860. Meanwhile, the Vicksburg and Montgomery Railroad (which would later become part of the Southern Railway of Mississippi) continued to progress eastward out of Jackson, Mississippi. It appeared that Ball and Ragsdale had incorrectly anticipated the location of the railroad junction. The railroad was planning to cross the Mobile and Ohio Railroad at Enterprise, Mississippi, but railroad administration could not obtain cooperation from Enterprise officials. Businessmen in Meridian were more than eager for this economic opportunity and convinced Southern to cross there instead. After persuasion from Ball and other citizens of the city, William Crosby Smedes, the president of the Southern Railway agreed with the owners of the Mobile and Ohio on keeping the name Meridian, as which the city has been known ever since.
Civil War
When the American Civil War began in 1861, Meridian was a small village with several stores and hotels and two churches, one Baptist and one Methodist, which shared a Sunday School service. An academy had also been built, and the school was in full operation. The town's strategic position at the railroad junction led to the construction of a Confederate arsenal, military hospital, and prisoner-of-war stockade, as well as the headquarters for a number of state offices.
The Meridian Invincibles were established on May 1, 1861, under the command of W.F. Crumpton and William Spinks. On May 21, the Governor ordered the unit, which consisted of sixty-three members, to proceed to Corinth and go into camp under the command of Major General Charles Clark. The Invincibles eventually became Company H of the 14th Mississippi Infantry and would later see action at the Battle of Fort Donelson. They, along with 7000 confederate soldiers, would become prisoners of war.
On February 19, 1863, a train with one tender & four cars left the Meridian depot at 3:00 A.M. to transport Confederate soldiers and some civilians from Meridian to aid in the coming Battle of Vicksburg. After the train wrecked near Chunky, Mississippi, the 1st Choctaw Battalion, which had been organized days/weeks earlier at a camp near Newton Station, led rescue and recovery efforts.
After the 1863 Vicksburg campaign, Union forces under General William Tecumseh Sherman turned eastward toward the city to begin what would later be called the Battle of Meridian. Because of several feints and other confusing maneuvers performed by Sherman, Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk, leader of Confederate troops in the city, was convinced Sherman was headed not for Meridian but for Mobile, Alabama, so he decided to fall back to Demopolis, Alabama, and prepare for a rear attack, leaving the city and its surrounding territory to the mercy of the enemy.
Sherman reached Meridian on February 14, 1864. He and his army waited in the city for Brigadier General William Sooy Smith, whom Sherman had ordered to lead a small cavalry from Tennessee to rendezvous in the city and continue into Alabama. He gave up after a week and returned to Vicksburg on February 20. While he and his army were waiting, Sherman ordered his troops "to wipe the appointed meeting place off the map" by erasing the railroads on the map and burning much of the map. Among the damage was the destruction of an arsenal, immense storehouses, and the railroad in every direction. After the destruction of the city, Sherman is reported to have said, "Meridian with its depots, store-houses, arsenal, hospitals, offices, hotels, and cantonments no longer exists." Despite the destruction, the railroad lines in the city were rapidly repaired and operating again only 26 working days after the battle.
Reconstruction
Shortly after the Civil War a central business district grew in the downtown area, leading to a population increase. By 1870 the population had grown to 2,709, and the city was named the county seat of Lauderdale County. This short-term growth led to the establishment of several educational facilities, including the Meridian Female College, founded in 1865, as well as diverse religious institutions, including Presbyterian, Catholic, Jewish, and Episcopal. Before the war, most churches were either Baptist or Methodist. The growth during Reconstruction was set back when downtown was destroyed in a fire in 1871 during the Meridian race riot, related to freedmen's efforts to resist the Ku Klux Klan. Up to thirty black men were killed by a white mob.
In 1871, adding to the political turmoil, five different men served as mayor of the city.
The city quickly recovered and defined an 1872 fire district requiring buildings to be constructed of brick. The remainder of the 1870s saw hard times for the city, including economic troubles during the Panic of 1873, and a yellow fever epidemic in 1878. Yellow fever affected almost 500 residents, leaving at least 86 dead, which resulted in a quarantine in the city. Rail passengers entering the city were required to provide a health certificate certifying that they were free of the disease. Many of the fatalities from the riot and epidemic were buried in McLemore Cemetery. Despite these early troubles, the town experienced an economic boom and entered a "Golden Age" around the start of the 20th century.
Golden Age
1880–1900
The city flourished during the 1880s, adding electricity, running water, a sewage system, and paved streets and sidewalks within its limits. By 1885 the city became the railroad center of eastern Mississippi because of its unique location at the junction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad, the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad. The railroads provided for a means of transportation and an influx of industries, which caused a population boom. The 1870 population of 2,709 almost tripled by 1885 to around 8,000 and nearly doubled again to 15,000 by 1898. By 1906 the population had almost doubled again to reach 28,000, and the city was given the nickname "The Queen City." Between 1890 and 1930, Meridian was the largest city in Mississippi and a leading center for manufacturing in the South.
As the population grew, a commercial district developed in the downtown area, made accessible by a mule-drawn trolley system that connected different parts of the city. The company that oversaw that system was the Meridian Street Railway Company, organized in 1883. At its peak the mule-drawn line included about four miles of track throughout the city. Industry profits helped finance the construction of most of the city's major buildings, including the Grand Opera House and its associated Marks-Rothenberg Store, which opened in 1890. The opera house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was combined with the neighboring Marks-Rothenberg Department Store and renovated in 2006 into an upscale theater and conference center. Together the buildings now comprise "The Mississippi State University Riley Center for Education and Performing Arts." A significant business that developed in this period was Soulé Steam Feed Works, incorporated by George W. Soulé in 1893, which industrialized cotton and helped grow the lumber industry in the city. Partly due to Soulé's business, Mississippi was ranked sixth among the states in cotton seed production by the 1920s.
In 1894 the Wechsler School was built as the first brick public school building in the state for African-American children, after the full community passed a bond issue to build the substantial school. The school served the city until 1978. Since then, the building has been used by a variety of community organizations. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1991, and in 1994 ownership of the building was transferred to the Wechsler Community Art Association. The association has a multi-year plan to renovate the building for extended community use.
By 1897 the mule-drawn trolley system was replaced by an electric trolley system, operated by the Meridian Street Railway and Power Company. The addition of this system increased economic activity in the downtown area and allowed the city to spread out. The trolley system eventually reached up to north of the downtown area. By 1907, the lines connected various locations in the city including main tracks following 8th and 5th streets as well as several offshoots to peripheral communities. The most common stop for the streetcars during this era was Highland Park, located at the end of the 34th Avenue line. Another common stop for streetcar riders was the Grand Opera House; in fact, for years streetcars were the primary mode of transportation to the Opera House for residents of the city. One limitation of the streetcar system, however, was that it could not pass over the railroad tracks on the south side of downtown, so the southernmost neighborhoods were unable to receive service.
Turn of the century
With traffic increasing due to a growing population, the city built Union Station in 1906 to coordinate all the railroads. Along with Union Station, several hotels were built, including Hotel Meridian, Grand Avenue Hotel, Terminal Hotel, and Union Hotel. By 1907 an average of 40 trains per day passed through the city, and the various railroad companies provided over 6,000 jobs to the city's residents. By 1920 as many as 100 trains per day passed through the station. The passenger station's central tower was demolished in the 1940s, and further demolition took place in 1966, but the city has since rebuilt the station in its original Mission Revival style. After its completion in 1996, the station was renamed the Meridian Multi-Modal Transportation Center.
The Fortnightly Book and Magazine Club, formed in the 1880s, built wide support for a Carnegie library in the city in 1908. Israel Marks, a city leader, also led a group including Professor Shaw, Professor Triplett, Dr. Howard, Jeff Wilson, Frank Berry, Henry Strayhorn, and John Harris, to raise money for an African-American library. The club women enlisted Marks to approach the national philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for funding assistance.
Two Carnegie libraries were built in 1913 — one for whites and one for African Americans. The latter was the first and only library for blacks in the state until after World War I and is the only Carnegie library ever built for African Americans in the country. The library for whites was established in a building originally owned by members of the First Presbyterian Church of Meridian, who sold it to the city on September 25, 1911. The city used the library for whites until 1970, when it was renovated and converted into the Meridian Museum of Art. The library for African Americans was built at 13th Street and 28th Avenue on land donated by St. Paul Methodist Church. It served various community uses after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended segregated facilities. Despite the demolition of the former African-American library on May 28, 2008, both buildings are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
World Wars I and II
When a commission government brought 90 industrial plants to the city in 1913, industry in the city began attracting many settlers from the surrounding areas, causing the city's population to continue to climb into the 1920s. After World War I, the city erected a monument on the corner of 6th Street and 23rd Avenue depicting a doughboy in uniform to honor fallen soldiers from the city and surrounding area. During the industry boom of the 1920s, Meridian's automobile industry began to grow. Livery stables that were built around the city later evolved into service stations for vehicles. The former streetcar system was replaced by a system of buses with the creation of the Mississippi Power Company in 1925. Buses were seen as a superior mode of transportation at the time, especially since the buses could pass freely over the railroads which divided the city's southernmost neighborhoods from the downtown area and the rest of the city.
In 1929 the Threefoot Building, Meridian's tallest skyscraper of seventeen stories, was built in the Art Deco architectural style. Today, the historic building, located adjacent to the former Grand Opera House, is an important city landmark and is a contributing building within the Meridian Downtown Historic District, one of nine recognized historic districts in the city.
Even through the stock market crash of 1929 and the following Great Depression, the city still attracted new businesses from surrounding counties. With high unemployment and low wages, though, escapism became popular not only in the city but in the entire nation. People began going to the theater to watch movies about the lavish lives of the rich and "escape" the troubles of their own lives. Capitalizing on this mindset was the S. H. Kress & Co. store chain with an outlet on 5th Street. Samuel Henry Kress, art collector and owner of the chain, exploited the cheap and readily available labor and materials of the time to build lavish stores to "provide luxury to the common man."
With popular culture moving from on-stage performances to motion pictures, the Grand Opera House became obsolete and was replaced by the Temple Theater. The new theater was constructed in 1928 by the Hamasa Shrine. With seating for 1800 persons, the Temple Theater was much bigger than the Opera House, allowing more visitors at a time. The theater currently houses one of only two Robert Morton pipe organs, equivalent to a 100-piece symphony orchestra, still installed in its original location in Mississippi.
After a short stall of the city's economy during the height of the Depression, the New Deal sparked renovation of some of the city's buildings including the Lauderdale County Courthouse in 1939. After about three more years of slow recovery, the nation entered World War II, providing an economic spark to the city. Railroads were essential to transport gasoline and scrap metal to build military vehicles, so Meridian served as the region's railroad center once again. This renewed prosperity lasted until the 1950s when the automobile and Interstate Highway System became more popular than passenger rails. The decline of the railroad industry caused significant job losses, whose combined economic impact resulted in a population decline as workers left for other areas. The population has since continued to decrease as the city has struggled to create a modern economy based on newer industries.
Civil Rights Movement
During the height of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, Meridian was a major center of organizing and activism. The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) had a field office there, with members including James Chaney and other local residents, along with Michael and Rita Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, volunteers from the North. They worked on creating a community center, preparing people in the area for voter registration, and organizing a boycott of a variety store that had yet to hire its first black worker.
The activism from Northerners was not widely accepted among local residents; it caused great tension between not only white and black citizens of Meridian, but whites and blacks throughout the South. Racial tension often translated to violence. In June 1964 Chaney, Schwerner and Goodman went to Neshoba County, Mississippi, to meet with members of a black church which had been bombed and burned. The three young men disappeared that night on their way back to Meridian.
Two months later authorities discovered the bodies of the men buried in an earthen dam. The federal government indicted seventeen Klansmen, and tried ten for conspiracy under the Enforcement Act of 1870. Seven men were convicted and three were acquitted. In 2005 the case was reopened; Edgar Ray Killen, one of the Klansmen, was convicted of three counts of manslaughter and sentenced to three terms of 20 years each.
The murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner — along with years of work from other activists — helped gain national support for Federal legislation to end segregation and protect civil and voting rights of all citizens. Meridian later honored Chaney by renaming a portion of 49th Ave after him. The city has also held a Mississippi Civil Rights Martyrs Memorial Service each year since 1964 and built a memorial at his gravesite located in Okatibee Cemetery, by Okatibee Baptist Church.
In 2014, the Meridian/Lauderdale County Tourism Bureau in cooperation with a committee of local residents, created the Civil Rights Trail. It is a self-guided tour consisting of eighteen stops beginning with the African-American Business District and ending with Chaney's gravesite.
Downtown Revitalization
Meridian's downtown core had begun to disappear after World War II. As citizens began to move away from downtown in favor of new subdivisions north of downtown, strip commercial interests began to move downtown. To attempt to save the historic nature of the city's downtown district and other areas, several areas were designated historic districts in the 1970s and 80s. Meridian now contains nine historic districts, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Meridian Historic Districts and Landmarks Commission was created in 1979 and the Meridian Main Street program was founded in 1985.
In 1997 Meridian Main Street helped organize the construction of a new Amtrak Station based on the design of the historic train station used during Meridian's Golden Age which had been demolished. The construction of the Amtrak station and linking of transportation modes sparked a citywide effort to restore downtown to its lively prosperity of the early 20th century.
In 2001, the Rosenbaum Building was renovated and reopened containing condominiums on the upper floors and retail stores on the street level. Weidmann's restaurant, built around 1870, was sold to a group of local investors and reopened in fall 2002 after extensive renovations. Meridian Main Street, along with The Riley Foundation, helped renovate the historic Grand Opera House in 2006 into the "Mississippi State University Riley Center for Education and the Performing Arts." A 6-story parking garage, built to provide parking for the future Riley Center, opened in 2005.
Meridian Main Street was handed over to the Alliance for Downtown Meridian in late 2007 after the Mississippi Main Street Association, the statewide coordinator of all local Main Street organizations, ordered local governments operating these organizations in the public sector to turn them over to the private sector.
The downtown revitalization effort is now spearheaded by a collaboration of three privately owned organizations: the Alliance for Downtown Meridian, Meridian Main Street, and the Meridian Downtown Association. Though the three organizations are separate entities, the Alliance serves as an umbrella organization, allowing the Meridian Downtown Association and Meridian Main Street to use its support staff and housing, and in turn the Alliance serves as a liaison between the organizations.
Plans were underway for the Alliance to renovate the Threefoot Building into a mixed-use development before the end of 2009; however, as of January 2010, Mayor Cheri Barry has ended the city's relationship with HRI Properties.
Today the Alliance helps to promote further development and restoration downtown and has been designated by the city as the official downtown economic development program, receiving partial funding from the city. The remainder and majority of the organization's funding, however, comes from donations from downtown businesses. The Alliance has stated that it focuses on assisting businesses like specialty shops, restaurants, and bars because these types of businesses help downtown become more active during the day and at night. The Meridian Downtown Association, which is completely privately funded, is primarily focused on increasing foot traffic downtown by organizing special events, and the Meridian Main Street program supports existing businesses downtown.
Other designed and proposed projects in the city include several museums in downtown and an African-American Business District on 5th Street, as well as several murals and public arts projects on various buildings' facades.
Hotels
Many historic hotels have existed in Meridian throughout its history. Even before Meridian reached its "Golden Age," several large hotels including the Great Southern and the Grand Avenue hotels were built around the start of the 20th century. With the growth of the railroads and the construction of the original Union Station in 1906, many hotels were constructed for passengers and workers. The Elmira Hotel was constructed in 1905, and the Terminal Hotel was constructed in 1910. Hotel Meridian was constructed in 1907, and Union Hotel was built in 1908. Union Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and both Hotel Meridian and Grand Avenue Hotel were listed as contributing properties to the Meridian Urban Center Historic District.
As the city grew, the hotels grew as well, as evidenced by the eleven-story skyscraper Lamar Hotel built in 1927. Lamar Hotel today serves as a county annex building and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was also listed as a Mississippi Landmark in 1988.
Another historic hotel was established in 1931, the E.F. Young Hotel. A staple in the African American business district that grew west of the city's core, the hotel was one of the only places in the city a travelling African American could find a room.
As the city became more suburb-focused in the 1960s and '70s, most hotels moved outside of downtown, but there has been a push for a new downtown hotel, sparked by the rehabilitation of the Riley Center in 2006. The Threefoot Building has been the main focus of these efforts; however, the hotel remains unrestored.
Historic districts
Meridian contains nine historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places, illustrating the city's rich history. One district, the Meridian Downtown Historic District, is a combination of two older districts, the Meridian Urban Center Historic District and the Union Station Historic District. Many architectural styles are present in the districts, most from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Italianate, Art Deco, Late Victorian, and Bungalow. The districts are:
East End Historic District — roughly bounded by 18th St, 11th Ave, 14th St, 14th Ave, 5th St, and 17th Ave.
Highlands Historic District — roughly bounded by 15th St, 34th Ave, 19th St, and 36th Ave.
Meridian Downtown Historic District — runs from the former Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad north to 6th St between 18th and 26th Ave, excluding Ragsdale Survey Block 71.
Meridian Urban Center Historic District — roughly bounded by 21st and 25th Aves, 6th St, and the railroad.
Union Station Historic District — roughly bounded by 18th and 19th Aves, 5th St, and the railroad.
Merrehope Historic District — roughly bounded by 33rd Ave, 30th Ave, 14th St, and 8th St.
Mid-Town Historic District — roughly bounded by 23rd Ave, 15th St, 28th Ave, and 22nd St.
Poplar Springs Road Historic District — roughly bounded by 29th St, 23rd Ave, 22nd St, and 29th Ave.
West End Historic District — roughly bounded by 7th St, 28th Ave, Shearer's Branch, and 5th St.

Schools have explored and been inspired by Ashokan's forests, waterfalls, stream-fed ponds, and open meadows since 1967. Music camps, blacksmithing conferences, and retreat groups have called Ashokan home while schools are not in residence. The name Ashokan means "place of many fishes," or "where rushing waters meet" in the Lenape language.
The location was the inspiration for Jay Ungar's song "Ashokan Farewell", which was used as the theme music for PBS's The Civil War. In 2019 it was listed on the NRHP.
History
The first homesteaders on the land were a third generation Dutchman named Jacobus Bush and his wife, Eycke Vandermerke, born in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York in 1692 and 1687 respectively. Jacobus Jr. and his wife Annetje Merkel recorded their ownership on a deed of remembrance in 1732. In 1755, his brother Thomas and his wife's sister Elizabeth built a homestead a few hundred yards up the road. This is the house from which his son Fredrick's children were kidnapped by Tory-inspired "Indians". Thomas was an outspoken proponent of the patriot cause. This was the frontier during the American Revolutionary War and it was a common practice for Tories and their Indian allies to raid frontier homes. It had become such a problem that General Washington authorized the building of a fort at Shokan, now under the waters of the Ashokan Reservoir.
The property was owned and operated by SUNY New Paltz's College Auxiliary Service as the Ashokan Field Campus from 1967 until 2008.
The land was sold in 2008 to the Open Space Conservancy, part of the Open Space Institute. The property was divided with a portion sold to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and the rest to the non-profit Ashokan Foundation. The Ashokan Foundation continues to support and develop environmental education programs for schools in partnership with non-profit partner the Ashokan Center. Additionally Ashokan's Music & Dance Camps for adults and families have remained in continuous operation since 1980 and additional new arts programs are currently in the works.
Geology
The story of Ashokan begins over 400 million years ago during the Devonian Period. The vastly swollen Esopus Creek struggled to find its present path through Ashokan which was well-blocked by glacial moraine. Winchell's Falls and Cathedral Gorge are relatively recent (past ten-thousand years) features. The newly uncovered till (glacial soil) was rocky and sterile, and much like northern Canada today. It was covered by tundra where feeding mammoths and other ice age mammals migrated along the un-crossable Esopus. As the climate continued to warm, the open landscape gave way to spruce and fir of the boreal forest. Mastodons and woodland caribou took over the trail blazing begun by earlier mammals. At some point during this time, the first people entered the area hunting the ice-age "mega-fauna". Evidence of these first people is scant in this area, but they undoubtedly followed the game trails along the Esopus.

17992171 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full%20Tilt%20Boogie%20Band | Full Tilt Boogie Band | Full Tilt Boogie Band was a Canadian rock band originally headed by guitarist John Till and then by vocalist Janis Joplin until her death in 1970. The band was composed of Till, pianist Richard Bell, bassist Brad Campbell, drummer Clark Pierson, and organist Ken Pearson.
History
Origin of the band in the late 1960s in Canada
In its original late 1960s incarnation, the Full Tillt Boogie Band (the two "Ls" being a play on the spelling of Till's last name), Till fronted the group as a side project from his usual gigs as a New York City studio musician. Like Till, the other members of the band were Canadians, mostly hailing from Stratford and Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Richard Bell was recruited by Michael Friedman back stage at a Ronnie Hawkins gig at the Fillmore East in 1969. Friedman was Albert Grossman's assistant at the time. He went backstage after the gig and approached Bell. Ronnie Hawkins got wind of it and almost got into a fight with Friedman.
Vocalist Joplin's in vain and partial changing of her backing band
When Joplin's management convinced her to discard Big Brother and the Holding Company as her backing band, her record label put together a new group of musicians for her. This group, dubbed the Kozmic Blues Band, consisted of Till and several other Full Tillt Boogie Band members – all studio musicians whom her label was familiar with and felt were reliable – plus a horn section. However, Joplin was not happy touring with some of the group members, feeling them to be too "square", and the disappointing reviews of their 1969 album I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! led her to scrap everyone in the group except Till.
Final agreement with a whole and fitting backing band
Till soon convinced Joplin to hire his Full Tillt Boogie Band in its entirety, and he agreed to drop one of the "L's" from its name, thus creating Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie backing band. Joplin took a more active role in putting together the Full Tilt Boogie Band than she had with the Kozmic Blues Band, and she believed that hiring the remainder of Till's band would provide her with the powerhouse boogie outfit she needed to back her. Joplin was quoted as saying, "Full Tilt Boogie Band is my band. Finally, it's my band!"
Tourings with other acts throughout Canada and United States
Full Tilt Boogie Band played their first session with Joplin on April 4, 1970, at the Fillmore West studios in San Francisco, California and began touring in May 1970. From June 28 to July 4, 1970, Joplin and Full Tilt joined the all-star Festival Express tour through Canada, performing alongside the Grateful Dead, Delaney and Bonnie, Rick Danko and The Band, Eric Andersen, and Ian & Sylvia. They played concerts in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Calgary.
The group's last public performance took place on August 12, 1970, at Harvard Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts. A positive review appeared on the front page of The Harvard Crimson newspaper despite the fact that the band performed with makeshift sound amplifiers after their regular equipment was stolen in Boston.
Last release by Joplin and her backing band, and her death
During September 1970, Joplin and Full Tilt Boogie Band began recording a new album in Los Angeles, California with record producer Paul A. Rothchild, who had produced The Doors. Although Joplin died three months before all the tracks were fully completed, there was still enough usable material to compile an LP, which became her second solo album Pearl, released posthumously in January 1971.

17992228 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%20Engelmann | Paul Engelmann | Paul Engelmann (14 June 1891 – 5 February 1965) was an architect who worked in Olmütz (Olomouc) and in Vienna and is now best known for his friendship with the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein between 1916 and 1928, and for being Wittgenstein's partner in the design and building of the Stonborough House, in Vienna. His Letters from Ludwig Wittgenstein With a Memoir was translated by L. Furtmüller and published in 1967 by Basil Blackwell.
Education
Engelmann was born at Olmütz (Olomouc), Moravia in 1891, and studied with the modernist architect Adolf Loos in Vienna. He was supposedly Loos's favourite pupil. He was private secretary to Karl Kraus.
Career
After the end of World War I, Engelmann maintained an active career as an architect in Europe and designed private houses in various cities. His work followed Loos’ design principles, examples including the Stonborough House, in Vienna (1926–28), the Vladimir Müller residence in Olmütz (1926–28) and the Yedlin residence on Mount Carmel, Haifa (1936).
The Stonborough House
In November 1925, Wittgenstein's sister Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein commissioned Engelmann, to design and build a large town house in Vienna in the Kundmanngasse. Wittgenstein showed a great interest in the project and in Engelmann's plans. He convinced Engelmann that he could realise his sister's intentions much better and was eventually asked to be the architect of the house.
After Vienna
Engelmann emigrated to the Palestine region in 1934. He later settled in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he died in 1965. He dedicated less time to his architectural work, instead focusing on writing about his experiences with Loos, Kraus and Wittgenstein, but in 1947 he designed the interiors of the Jordanian Parliament and the throne hall of King Abdulla in Amman, Jordan.

In the 30th century, the Legion of Super-Heroes investigate attacks on the Museum of the Mystic Arts and the Tower of London by a group of shadowy thieves. When a third Servant attempts to steal the Orb of Orthanax from Talok VIII, she is captured. However, a fourth Servant appears and escapes with the Orb. At his base, the Master absorbs the artifacts' power. The captured Servant is taken to Legion headquarters.
Through genetic testing, Mon-El and Dream Girl determine that the captured Servant is a clone of Lydea Mallor, Shadow Lass' 20th-century ancestor. Meanwhile, on the planet Avalon, the fourth Servant frees Mordru before the Master defeats him. Shortly afterward, the Legionnaires discover that the Master has drained the Time Trapper's powers.
Dream Girl foresees the Servants attacking her sister, the White Witch, on Naltor, and heads to stop them. During the attack, Invisible Kid confronts the Master, but is forcefully returned to Naltor.
Dream Girl leads a squad of Legionnaires to Zerox and repels an attack by the Master and several Servants. Mon-El confronts the Master and recognizes him from his time in the Phantom Zone, but is defeated. Additionally, the Master learns of Mon-El's homeworld, Daxam. The sorcerers cast a spell intended to defend them against the Master and conjure a humanoid baby. Meanwhile, on Earth, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad determine that two of the Servants are clones of Superman and one of the Guardians of the Universe. In response, they send out an alarm calling all Legionnaires to duty.
The Legionnaires manage to locate the Master's homeworld. Engaging the Servants in battle, Wildfire destroys the Guardian clone, while Timber Wolf destroys the Superman clone. Afterward, Brainiac 5 recognizes the Master's homeworld and deduces his identity. Meanwhile, the Master travels to Daxam and remakes it in his image, revealing him to be Darkseid.
Dream Girl sends out a second alarm to all of the Legion's super-powered allies, including Supergirl and the Legion of Substitute Heroes. Throughout United Planets territory, Dev-Em, the Heroes of Lallor, the Wanderers, the Substitute Heroes, and the Legionnaires all struggle to hold back the onslaught of attacking Daxamites. On Takron-Galtos, a de-powered Chameleon Boy fends off an attack from Ol-Vir.
Meanwhile, the humanoid child rapidly ages into Highfather. He transforms the last remaining Servant into a clone of Orion, who is destined to destroy his father. Before fading away, Highfather summons Superboy and Supergirl to Apokolips, with his power allowing them to maintain their abilities under a red sun. Darkseid destroys the Orion clone and returns Superboy to the 20th century. He becomes preoccupied with battling Supergirl and the other Legionnaires and loses control of the Daxamites, who make their way toward the planet. Realizing that he cannot defeat the Daxamites, Darkseid surrenders.
Months later, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad have twin children, Garridan and Graym. However, Darkseid kidnaps Garridan and transforms him into Validus.
Continuity
The Great Darkness Saga was initially rendered non-canon following Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, which rebooted the Legion's continuity. It is later stated to be canon, but Validus is depicted as a separate entity from Garridan Ranzz.
Collected editions
The story is collected in the trade paperback Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga (). First printed in 1989, it includes a 7-page prologue from issue #287 and the epilogue from Annual #3, and a replica of a team poster from the same period. A second printing was released in August 2002.
A hardcover "Deluxe Edition" was published in November 2010 (), including issues before and after the main "Saga" (#284–296 and Annual #1), but excluding the epilogue story and poster. The hardcover also includes the script for the first part and character designs by Giffen. DC has announced a trade paperback edition shipping February 2013. In September 2024, Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga ([) graphic novel was released, it collects Legion of Super-Heroes #287, #290-294, and Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #3.
Reception

17992397 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24th%20Georgia%20Infantry%20Regiment | 24th Georgia Infantry Regiment | The 24th Georgia Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The regiment was part of Thomas Cobb's brigade at the Battle of Fredericksburg.
Organization
The 24th Infantry Regiment, organized during the summer of 1861, recruited its members in Franklin, White, Banks, Towns, Rabun, Gwinnett, Elbert, Hall, and Habersham counties. The field officers were Colonels Robert McMillan and C. C. Sanders, Lieutenant Colonels Joseph N. Chandler and Thomas E. Winn, and Majors Robert E. McMillan and Frederick C. Smith. After serving in the Department of North Carolina, the unit moved to Virginia where it was brigaded under Generals Howell Cobb, T. R. R. Cobb, Wofford, and DuBose.
Service record
The 24th Infantry Regiment fought in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days Battles to Gettysburg, then moved to Georgia with Longstreet. The 24th was not engaged at Chickamauga, but did see action in the Knoxville Campaign. The regiment returned to Virginia and participated in the conflicts at The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, was active in the Shenandoah Valley, and ended the war at Appomattox.
Soon after being mustered into Confederate service the regiment was moved to Lynchburg, Virginia. Within a week of arriving there, however, it was ordered to Goldsborough, North Carolina. There it joined the Department of North Carolina. The unit remained there until early in 1862. Returning to Virginia, the unit was placed in the Army of Northern Virginia. It served in that army until the summer of 1863. At that time it was moved to Georgia where it served in the Army of Tennessee. It next saw service in the Department of East Tennessee. In the spring of 1864 the regiment returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, remaining in that army until mid-summer 1864. It then moved to the Shenandoah Valley where it served in the Army of the Valley District. Finally, in December 1864, the unit returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, serving in that army for the remainder of the war.

17992416 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixons%20Unity%20Academy | Dixons Unity Academy | Dixons Unity Academy, formerly Swallow Hill Community College is an educational secondary school Academy located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is sponsored by Dixons Academies Trust, having formerly been sponsored by Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).
The school became sponsored by Dixons Academies Trust in October 2018, following a negative Ofsted report, and changed its name.
History
Swallow Hill Community College was built to replace two former schools: West Leeds High School and Wortley High School. West Leeds High School opened in 1907 based at the Old School Lofts building on Whingate. The school had separate Girls and Boys sites, with girls based initially on Congress Mount until they finally merged into a new school site in the 1940s.
In 2006 the local authority gained agreement from the Department for Children, Schools and Families to rebuild the schools. Construction begun in 2008, on the fields opposite to the West Leeds High School site and the £25 million build was completed by August 2009. It was decided to call the new school Swallow Hill, in order to reflect the local area of Swallow Hill (The area located between both predecessor schools).
In September 2009 Swallow Hill Community College opened with Bernard Knowles as the headteacher, using the two sites of West Leeds High School and Wortley High School. The main site with the older pupils was located on the fields of the previous West Leeds High School with a capacity for 1,200 students. The younger pupils (Years 7 and 8) were located at the site which had been previously the Wortley High School buildings, as the full school roll was 1600 pupils in 2009. Due to falling pupil numbers, in July 2011 the Wortley High School site was closed and all students were moved to the Upper Site, so that the school became a single-site school in September 2011. The old Wortley High School site was knocked down in 2013 and as of 2015 all that remains are the fields and tennis courts. By 2014 pupil numbers had dropped to 1,055 Pupil numbers continued to drop and in December 2015 the academy recorded on its website that its pupil numbers were 908 students.
In July 2013 Swallow Hill became an academy, sponsored by AET (Academies Enterprise Trust). The CEO of Academies Enterprise Trust, Ian Comfort summed up the purpose of AET's role by stating on the academy website:
Dixons Academies Trust took over the school and renamed it Dixons Unity Academy in October 2018.
Academic standards
Cells coloured red represent 5GCSE A*-C (including English and Maths) results which are below the minimum standards expected by the Government floor target, or OFSTED grades which indicate that standards need to be improved or Department for Education letters stating that standards are 'unacceptably low.' Cells in darker grey indicate periods of time when the academy was not part of the Academies Enterprise Trust network of academies.
In January 2013 it was noted that Swallow Hill was amongst three schools in Leeds which achieved exam results which placed it in the lowest achieving 40 schools nationally. In the city of Leeds as a whole 55% of pupils achieved 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C (including English and Maths) but at Swallow Hill it was only 28%. The BBC also ranked the school 37th out of 38 local schools for both GCSE Value Added and for Sixth Form results
Once Swallow Hill Community College became an AET Academy, standards fell, as recorded by the official league table data above. Swallow Hill records its examination results in a more optimistic way than the official government league tables do. So, commenting on the 2014 results, the academy stated "Students at Swallow Hill achieved the academy’s best ever results this Summer despite a national picture which saw many schools’ results dip." The official Government league tables (as in the table above) record a drop in results of 3% in 2014.
On 6 January 2015 Paul Smith, the DFE Regional Schools' Commissioner wrote to AET expressing concerns about standards at Swallow Hill Community College, especially as recorded in the 2014 exam results. He stated
On 3 February 2015 OFSTED inspected the academy and graded it as overall Inadequate because of poor achievement. OFSTED stated
The 2015 examination results, as indicated in the table above, showed further decline in the headline figure of students achieving 5GCSEs A-C (including English and Maths). Commenting on the 2015 exam results the academy initially declined to release exam results at all, and posted the following statement on its website, which was still up in December 2015,
The 2015 initial reports of A level results indicated that 13 students had passed qualifications at the academy. Official league tables show that Sixth Form students achieved on average an E grade for each qualification.
Extra Curricular matters
In order to improve students employability, Business Mentoring of younger pupils took place at the academy in 2014 Recognising the importance of broadening the curriculum to meet the needs of the many lower ability pupils the academy has developed a number of outreach programmes. In 2014 Swallow Hill embarked upon a partnership with the Leeds College of Building to provide more vocational courses for students unable to access the full curriculum. In May 2015 pupils from Swallow Hill participated in a Young Persons Fire Training scheme.
In March 2011 Rachel Reeves, MP, visited Swallow Hill and promoted visits to Auschwitz
In order to attract staff to the Academy AET stated in its adverts However, in response to community perceptions of high staff turnover, a 2015 Freedom of Information Request showed that the academy had a staff turnover of 27% of teachers.
A minor local controversy erupted upon the merger of the schools when a 6th Form pupil made a video of complaints and posted it on YouTube to complain about the poor standards in the school. He highlighted concerns about 6 fights in 2 weeks and a number of timetable irregularities. Attached to the video clips in question were pictures and comments added by other students, added in different years, to highlight concerns about bullying and other matters within the academy.
The academy is particularly proud of its hygiene, celebrating the achievement of a 5* rating for food hygiene again in 2015.
The role of the sponsor
Academies Enterprise Trust support for Academies at the local level is led by the AET Regional Director of Education (known as a RDE). The 2014 OFSTED report about AET explained that ‘some academy leaders said that there was too much variability in the support and challenge offered by Regional Directors employed by AET.'. Nevertheless, there are some positive comments about the efforts and intentions of the sponsor which can be found in reports, but with the direction of results so clearly downwards, it was not surprising in 2015 to find an increasing amount of concern being expressed.
On 3 February 2014, as a result of seeing plans for a joint venture which would have involved staffing changes at all AET schools, including Swallow Hill Community College, Averil Chambers, on behalf of the GMB Union, made a series of criticisms of AET. She stated
In 2015 The DfE Schools' Commissioner Paul Smith, also expressed concerns about AET's ability to bring about the necessary improvements at Swallow Hill Community College. He stated
When OFSTED carried out a monitoring visit in June 2015, they expressed concerns about Academies Enterprise Trust and its plans for the school. OFSTED stated
In December 2015 the Times Educational Supplement (TES) reported that AET has received 14 warning letters from the government about unacceptably low standards in its academies and that this is more than any other chain has received. Commenting more generally the TES said

Its regulations are compiled in title 28 of the New York City Rules. The Department is headed by a Commissioner, who is appointed by and reports directly to the Mayor. The current Commissioner of HPD is Adolfo Carrión Jr. appointed in January, 2022 by Mayor Eric Adams replacing Louise Carroll, who was appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio in May 2019. Other former Commissioners have included Maria Torres-Springer, Vicki Been, Jerilyn Perine, Richard Roberts and Shaun Donovan, among others. HPD is headquartered in Lower Manhattan, and includes smaller branch offices in each of the city's five boroughs.
Overview
Established in 1978 in the wake of Local Law 45 of 1976, the Department is the largest municipal developer of affordable housing in the United States. HPD is currently in the midst of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's Housing New York initiative to create and preserve 300,000 units of affordable housing by 2026. By the end of 2021, the City of New York financed more than 200,000 affordable homes since 2014, breaking the all-time record previously set by former Mayor Ed Koch. The Agency also enforces the City's Housing Maintenance Code, which covers heat and hot water, mold, pests, gas leaks, fire safety, and more. HPD performs over 500,000 inspections annually and uses a variety of other Code Enforcement tools to address building conditions from performing owner outreach to bringing cases in Housing Court to performing emergency repairs. Lastly, the Agency engages neighborhoods in planning, working with other City agencies and communities to plan for the preservation and development of affordable housing to foster more equitable, diverse, and livable neighborhoods.
Third Party Transfer program
Since 1996, the Department of Housing and Preservation has operated a Third Party Transfer Program (TPT), in which it transfers "derelict, tax-delinquent buildings to nonprofits that could rehabilitate and manage them." Beginning under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the program ostensibly benefits the working class and frees the city from ownership or responsibility for tenants. However, the DHP has been criticized for relatively blunt treatment of what it considers "'distressed properties' in 'blighted' areas". If the DHP transfers title to one building under TPT, then it will also apply the same treatment to "every other building in the same tax block with a lien—even for a few hundred dollars".
A report analyzing the program for Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration argued that the program abused its powers, applying them even in situations other than the tangled title phenomena for which the program had been originally conceived. According to the report, DHP and the New York City Department of Finance "target[ed] and t[ook] numerous Black and Brown owned properties...thus stripping these communities of millions of dollars of generational wealth". According to Ritchie Torres, "TPT is quite different from and far harsher than a typical foreclosure from the perspective of a property owner. If you are the target of a foreclosure, you get a share of the proceeds from the sale of your property. Under TPT, the city can completely strip you of all the equity in your property".

17992544 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Rural%20Water%20Association | National Rural Water Association | The National Rural Water Association (NRWA), with its affiliated state rural water associations, is the largest water and wastewater utility membership organization in the United States of America. The NRWA is a professional organization that supports rural and small water utilities throughout the nation. NRWA and its state affiliates are organized as a non-profit trade association, and represent more than 31,000 water and wastewater utility members.
The association provides training, technical assistance and source water protection assistance to the rural and small utilities which comprise 94 percent of the nation's community water supplies. This assistance is supported by the United States Congress and is provided in partnership with the USDA's Rural Utilities Service, the Farm Service Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The NRWA and state rural water affiliates also represent rural and small utilities in the regulatory and legislative process.
History
The National Rural Water Association was founded in 1976 in response to the Safe Drinking Water Act, passed in 1974. The SDWA authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency to set national health-based standards for drinking water to protect against both naturally occurring and man-made contaminants that may be found in drinking water. The NRWA was founded because many of the original EPA standards were written for large metropolitan water utilities, and many smaller utilities did not have the resources to meet those standards.
NRWA's first meeting in Oklahoma City was attended by eight states: Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Indiana and Texas. States quickly joined the organization with Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa and South Carolina joining in 1977; Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon and Tennessee 1978; and Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, New York, Ohio in 1979 and Arizona in 1990. Hawaii incorporated its rural water association in December 2010, bringing NRWA programs to all 50 states.
The Circuit Rider Program, a signature of NRWA, began in 1980 in 18 states. Circuit riders are roving drinking water and wastewater experts that provided technical assistance to the unities in their area. The program provided another tool for small water systems that did not always have the experience, equipment, training or personnel to deal large or persistent problems.
During its operation, the NRWA has added a variety of training, technical assistance, source water protection and financial programs to assist small water and waste water systems. The NRWA's network of training and assistance had allowed rural and small community water supplies to maintain compliance with the SDWA at rates similar to metropolitan systems on a percentage basis.
Quality on Tap and Protecting Our Environment
"Quality On Tap – Our Commitment – Our Profession" is a nationwide, grassroots public relations and awareness campaign designed especially for the drinking water industry. QOT is intended to promote a positive image to the public, focusing on the safety of drinking water and the expertise of the technical professional who ensure water quality.
"Protecting Our Environment" is a companion campaign for the wastewater industry. This campaign is designed to publicize the credentials of the wastewater personnel and the role they play in Environmental Protection, especially the prevention of water pollution. Rural water has made environmental protection, especially source water protection, a priority for the industry.
Both campaigns were designed to be practical, hands-on guides to better public relations for rural and small water and wastewater utilities.
Programs
The NRWA and its state affiliates provide a range of programs to assist utilities in their governance, management, finance and operations. Annually over 100,000 personnel are trained and over 100,000 types of on-site technical assistance is rendered throughout the 50 United States, and Puerto Rico.
Training and technical assistance is delivered through a cadre of personnel with a range of technical and practical experience. This technical knowledge, combined with the experience of managing and operating water and wastewater systems has allowed NRWA training, assistance and “common sense solutions” that are practical at the local level.
Member support services
NWRA and the state associations offer a variety of support services provided to member utilities. All support services are delivered through the state associations. These may include but are not limited to revolving loan funds, insurance, discounts, bond pools, certification, background checks, conferences, legislative events on the state and national level and a VIP Fleet Discount for systems of any size and any number of vehicles.
These programs and services available through the NRWA homepage or state associations.
Emergency Response/Disaster Relief
NRWA and its state affiliates provide assistance to small systems recovering from disasters. This assistance is considered to be an extension of the regular services provided to small water utilities: "It's the same thing we do every day, just with more urgency and immediate need."
These efforts have been praised for their ability to quickly provide responsive, meaningful assistance to small utilities and support repair efforts months, even years after the disaster.
Rural water relief efforts since 2008 include assistance to areas damaged by hurricanes (Hurricane Gustav, Hurricane Hanna, and Hurricane Ike), tornados (Parkersburg Tornado, Picher Tornado, Dierks Tornado and Magee Tornado), floods, and ice storms (2009 Ice Storms).
In 2009, NRWA instituted a training program to educate, train and certify Rural Water staff in emergency response. The program provides training in hands-on skills for field staff, and organizational training for association leaders. Field staff training includes instruction on planning and preparedness, assessment and documentation, safety, power generation, and the operation of emergency generators. Leadership training includes more focus on planning, organization, leadership and management during emergency and disaster situations.
Members
Small communities comprise more than 94 percent of the community water supplies NRWA through its state affiliates represents 26,696 water and utility members from 48 non-profit, state rural water associations that cover the 50 United States and Puerto Rico.
State Affiliates
Events
WaterPro Conference
WaterPro is the annual conference of the National Rural Water Association.
WaterPro is designed to bring together water and wastewater utility systems - large and small, municipal and rural - for sessions in operations, management, boardsmanship and governance.
Rural Water Rally
The National Rural Water Association holds and annual Rally in Washington D.C. to further the work of providing drinking water and wastewater services to rural communities. Rural Water professionals, leaders and customers from every state attend the rally to thank their Senators and Representatives for their support and encourage them to further support the goals and needs of the Rural Water Industry. NRWA welcomes V.I.P. guest speakers from legislative staffs and federal organizations, like the EPA and USDA, to share their views and insight to the assembled guests. The NRWA held the first Rural Water Rally in 1986 and has grown in attendance every year.
Great American Water Taste Test
In 1999, the National Rural Water Association hosted the first Great American Taste Test during the Rural Water Rally in Washington D.C. Each of NRWA's state affiliates selects an entry at their own state taste tests. A gallon of the winning system's water is shipped to the rally for national judging. Five finalists are selected by a panel of judges during a preliminary tasting. The final five are then judged by a V.I.P panel in a tasting during the Rural Water Luncheon on the final day of the rally.
Each entry is judged on three criteria:
Clarity
Bouquet
Taste
In the event of a tie, the winner is decided by a “Drink Off.” Drink Off was used to decide a winner for first time during the 2009 GAWTT to break a tie between entries between Perdido Bay, Alabama (the eventual winner) and Allen County, Kentucky.
Regional/Water District Issues Forum
The forum is designed to specifically address the issues facing larger regional utilities and water districts.

A native of Rio Cuarto, Argentina, Somenzini has the distinction of being the youngest competitor in the history of the FAI championships, flying in competition in 1979 at the age of twelve. His father, Mario, is a former champion as well and introduced Somenzini to the hobby of model aircraft flight at the age of nine.
Somenzini has since become one of the top R/C pilots in the world - he was Argentina's national champion 21 times - and is credited with the invention of so-called "3-D" flying, characterized by tight loops, rolls and hovers at little to no forward airspeed.
On November 18, 2007, Somenzini earned the title of FAI F3A world champion at the 25th FAI World Championship in Argentina, marking the first time he had earned the title.
In addition to his accomplishments as an R/C pilot, Somenzini is also a model aircraft designer with his own company, QuiQue's Aircraft Company of Springfield, Ohio USA where he makes his present home. He is also a product tester and sponsored pilot for Spektrum and JR, both divisions of Horizon Hobby as well as for Team RCU, the competitive arm of RCUniverse.com, a major online radio control site.

The club had formed the previous March and now was playing a season against other clubs. They played in red and black striped sweaters. The team played in the 1884 Montreal Winter Carnival tournament, placing second.
Team business
The president of the club is recorded as Mr. M. M. Pyke.
Season
The club played in the Montreal Winter Carnival Tournament. The team players were impressed with the cheering by the McGill students during their games against the Victorias. After the tournament, the team was feted by team president Pyke.
Championship final
The final game against the Victorias was tied after regulation play. The Ottawas wanted to claim the championship as they had beaten the Victorias in the first game, and had now tied in the other. The organizers instead ordered another 30 minutes of play to decide the championship. In overtime, the Victorias' Myers scored on a "splendidly directed shot" to score the game-winner.

17992600 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haus%20Wittgenstein | Haus Wittgenstein | Haus Wittgenstein (also known as the Stonborough House and the Wittgenstein House) is a house in the modernist style on the Kundmanngasse, Vienna, Austria. It "shows remarkably similar characteristics in its obsession with detail and complete disregard for the requirements of the people who are expected to live within it." The house was commissioned by Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein, who asked the architect Paul Engelmann to design a townhouse for her. Stonborough-Wittgenstein invited her brother, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, to help with the design. In the end, he became more author than helper.
Commission
In November 1925 Stonborough-Wittgenstein commissioned Engelmann to design a large townhouse. She later invited her brother, Ludwig Wittgenstein, to help with the design, in part to distract him from the scandal surrounding the Haidbauer incident in April 1926: Wittgenstein, while working as a primary-school teacher, had hit a boy who had subsequently collapsed.
The initial architect was Paul Engelmann, someone Wittgenstein had come to know while training to be an artillery officer in Olomouc. Engelmann designed a spare modernist house after the style of Adolf Loos: three rectangular blocks. Wittgenstein showed a great interest in the project and in Engelmann's plans and poured himself into the project for over two years, to such a degree that Engelmann himself considered Wittgenstein the author of the final product. He focused on the windows, doors, doorknobs, and radiators, demanding that every detail be exactly as he specified, to the point where everyone involved in the project was exhausted. When the house was nearly finished, he had a ceiling raised 30 mm so that the room had the exact proportions he wanted.
One of the architects, Jacques Groag, wrote in a letter: "I come home very depressed with a headache after a day of the worst quarrels, disputes, vexations, and this happens often. Mostly between me and Wittgenstein."
Waugh writes that Margaret eventually refused to pay for the changes Wittgenstein kept demanding, so he bought himself a lottery ticket in the hope of paying for things that way. It took him a year to design the door handles and another to design the radiators. Each window was covered by a metal screen that weighed 150 kg, moved by a pulley Wittgenstein designed. Bernhard Leitner, author of The Architecture of Ludwig Wittgenstein, said of it that there is barely anything comparable in the history of interior design: "It is as ingenious as it is expensive. A metal curtain that could be lowered into the floor."
Completion
The house was finished by December 1928, and the family gathered there that Christmas to celebrate its completion. Describing the work, Ludwig's eldest sister, Hermine, wrote: "Even though I admired the house very much, I always knew that I neither wanted to, nor could, live in it myself. It seemed indeed to be much more a dwelling for the gods than for a small mortal like me". Paul Wittgenstein, Ludwig's brother, disliked it, and when Margaret's nephew came to sell it, he reportedly did so on the grounds that she had never liked it either.
Wittgenstein himself found the house too austere, saying it had good manners, but no primordial life or health. He nevertheless seemed committed to the idea of becoming an architect: the Vienna City Directory listed him as "Dr Ludwig Wittgenstein, occupation: architect" between 1933 and 1938.
After World War II
After World War II, the house became a barracks and stables for Russian soldiers. It was owned by Thomas Stonborough, son of Margaret, until 1968, when it was sold to the developer and former SS-Member Franz Katlein, for demolition. For two years after this the house was under threat of demolition. The Vienna Landmark Commission saved it — after a campaign by Bernhard Leitner — and made it a national monument in 1971. Since 1975 it has housed the cultural department of the Bulgarian Embassy.

Thrash to Death centers around grindcore pioneers Napalm Death. An interview with its four members is conducted at their hometown (Birmingham, UK), interspersed with footage from their live show at the ULU, also featured on Arena'''s "Heavy Metal" documentary.
The setlist of Napalm Death's ULU performance is focused on songs of their Scum (1987) and From Enslavement to Obliteration (1988) albums. Half of the songs have a slightly shorter length than their original studio counterparts. Also, they pay an impromptu homage to one of their early influences, Flint, Michigan band Repulsion, playing the first bars of "The Stench of Burning Death" as an intro to one of their songs, "Deceiver".
Background
Earache's Digby Pearson recalled:

17992650 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20T.%20Power | John T. Power | John T. Power (14 April 1883 – 1 February 1982) was an Irish hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Kilkenny senior team.
Power made his first appearance for the team during the 1907 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen for well over a decade. He made his final appearance when he was recalled briefly for the 1925 championship. During that time Power won four All-Ireland medals and six Leinster medals. He also won a Railway Shield medal with Leinster. He has the unique distinction of becoming the first hurling goalkeeper to win three consecutive All Ireland medals in a row in 1911, 1912 and 1913.
At club level Power played with Piltown, however, it was with Mooncoin that he won two county championship medals.
Following the death of Larry Flaherty in 1979, Power became the oldest living All-Ireland medal winner. His lifetime spanned the entire history of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
The Power Villas housing estate in Main Street, Piltown, County Kilkenny was named in his honour and was built on the site of his former residence a short few years after his death in 1982.

17992705 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mascherata | Mascherata | A mascherata (Italian f., literally 'masquerade') is a dance from the sixteenth century and was particularly popular in Florence. It was performed by costumed dancers, and frequently pantomimed Roman and Greek themes in them. At the time, it was often associated with villanella, and performed at carnivals with the musicians and singers atop floats.
Content
Frequently the performance was satirical, and many times there were racist undertones in the archetypes or costumes. Generally there wasn't much dramatic content, and most were meant to be humorous.
Etymology
The term mascherata is the past, plural, and feminine version of mascherare which means to mask or hide.
Lassus
Orlande de Lassus was considered the master of mascheratas, and he wrote many of his pieces (mostly madrigals) while in Rome, which saw the birth of madrigals, and more specifically mascheratas.

17992725 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High%20West%20Distillery | High West Distillery | High West Distillery is a manufacturer of distilled spirits located in Park City, Utah, United States. It is the first legally licensed distillery in Utah since the end of the American Prohibition.
Distillery, restaurant, and saloon
The distillery operates, along with a saloon and restaurant, in an old livery stable dubbed "The National Garage", and in the adjacent historic Ellsworth J Beggs house, a two-story box house that was built in 1907. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Distillation
High West makes its spirits in small batches in a 250-gallon copper pot still. High West uses a combination still, which allows for both use as either a continuous/reflux still or separately a pot still; this allows for a variety of unique distillates to be produced. In a July 28, 2014 article, it was revealed that many High West products, sold as "craft whiskeys" or "artisanal spirits", are actually modified from products purchased from MGP Distillery of Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Products
Rendezvous Rye Whiskey was the first commercial offering from High West Distillery. Originally, Rendezvous Rye was not distilled in Utah, but instead a blend of a 6-year-old 95% rye whiskey and 16-year-old 80% rye whiskey sourced from MGP (Indiana) and Barton (Kentucky) respectively. The whiskey was blended in Utah by High West using water from local sources. Rendezvous Rye was a 2008 Winner of a Double Gold Medal at San Francisco Spirits competition. It received a Malt Advocate Rating of 95 in the September 2008 issue, Batch #10, and was one of Malt Advocate Magazine's "Top 10 New Whiskies of 2008."
High West does distill and age its own whiskey, and over time has blended it into their existing products. Today, the previously award winning Rendezvous Rye carries a much younger age statement (4-7 years). High West has received some criticism for selling its own younger distillate under the same brand equity as the original sourced, much older, product.
Other regularly released products include their American Prairie Bourbon, which is still sourced from MGP and other undisclosed distilleries, aged 2-13 years; Double Rye!, a blend of 2-7 year old rye whiskeys sourced from MGP and using High West's own distillate; and Campfire, a 4-8 year old blend of MGP and High West rye whiskeys, MGP bourbon, and an undisclosed source of blended Malt Scotch whiskey.
Limited releases include BOURYE: Limited Sighting, which is a blend of a straight rye whiskey and two straight bourbon whiskeys - all sourced from MGP (non-age stated), and A Midwinter's Night Dram, a non-age stated blend of MGP and High West rye whiskeys. Both are released annually in limited amounts.
Discontinued releases include Yippee Ki-Yay, a blend of 2 year old High West rye whiskey and 16 year old sourced rye whiskey finished in used vermouth and syrah French oak barrels. Launched in 2015, only less than 30,000 bottles were ever produced. High West announced its discontinuation in July 2020.

17992783 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find%20Me%20%28Odyssey%20to%20Anyoona%29 | Find Me (Odyssey to Anyoona) | "Find Me (Odyssey to Anyoona)" is a song by German electronic music duo Jam & Spoon featuring American singer Plavka, released in July 1994 by JAM! and Dance Pool as the third single from their second album, Tripomatic Fairytales 2001 (1993). Written by Jam El Mar and Mark Spoon with Nosie Katzmann, the song was the follow-up to their successful hit single "Right in the Night" in 1993. It reached number one in Finland and number six in Italy, while in the United Kingdom and Australia, it peaked at number 22 in both countries. "Find Me (Odyssey to Anyoona)" also entered the Eurochart Hot 100 on 30 July 1994, peaking at number 19 on 27 August. The accompanying music video for the song was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in August 1994.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Keith Farley named "Find Me (Odyssey to Anyoona)" a highlight from Tripomatic Fairytales 2001. In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton described it as "a slightly ambient piece of Euro-dance". Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented that here, the team that brought you the smash "Right in the Night", "reads you another Madonna-esque myth from their Tripomatic Fairytales album." Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five, complimenting it as "a well-produced commercial trance epic with Spanish guitar effects. The addition of a catchy vocal from Plavka of the Rising High Collective has broadened the track's appeal and has helped to generate a real buzz."
Tommy Udo from NME wrote, "More Euro disco for messrs Jam El Mar and Mark Spoon [...]. It captures some of that Balearic spirit with an almost straight — well, you know what I mean — hi-NRG remix by Groovecult. On the downside, ex-Shamen vocalist Plavka isn't really suited to this track, which should have been more shouty, more, erm, Hazell Dean." James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update described it as a "Plavka Lonich warbled pulsating tinkly 0-136-0bpm electro trance throbber". On the 1995 re-release, Hamilton described it as a "moodily started pulsating tinkly 0-136-0bpm trancer". Andrew Perry from Select declared it as a "fantastic track" with "tribal euphoria".
Airplay
"Find Me" entered the European airplay chart Border Breakers at number 22 on 23 July 1994, due to crossover airplay in West-, North- and South-Europe. The single peaked at number three on 3 September.

17992803 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander%20George%20Woodford | Alexander George Woodford | Field Marshal Sir Alexander George Woodford, GCB, KCMG (15 June 1782 – 26 August 1870), was a British Army officer. After taking part in the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland, he served in most of the battles of the Napoleonic Wars. During the Hundred Days he commanded the 2nd battalion of the Coldstream Guards at the Battle of Quatre Bras, the Battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambrai. He went on to become lieutenant governor and brigade commander at Malta, lieutenant governor and brigade commander at Corfu and then commander of the British garrison on the Ionian Islands before being appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Gibraltar.
Military career
Born at 30 Welbeck Street, London, the son of Lieutenant-Colonel John Woodford and Lady Susan Gordon (daughter of Cosmo Gordon, 3rd Duke of Gordon), Woodford was educated at Winchester College and Royal Military Academy, Woolwich before being commissioned as an ensign in the 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot on 6 December 1794. He was promoted to lieutenant in the 22nd (the Cheshire) Regiment of Foot on 15 July 1795 and transferred back to the 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot in September 1799 before seeing action at the Battle of Alkmaar in October 1799 (where he was wounded) during the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland. Promoted to captain lieutenant on 14 December 1799, he transferred to the Coldstream Guards on 28 December 1799 and became aide-de-camp to Major-General Sir James Forbes in Sicily in 1803. He took part in the Battle of Copenhagen in August 1807 before rejoining Lord Forbes' staff in Sicily in March 1808. After returning London, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 8 March 1810.
Woodford was deployed to Spain in early 1811 and, after arriving at Isla de León, he took part in the Siege of Cádiz in March 1811, the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812 and the Siege of Badajoz in March 1812 before also fighting at the Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 and the Siege of Burgos in September 1812 during the Peninsular War. He commanded the 1st battalion of the Coldstream Guards at the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813, the Siege of San Sebastián in August 1813 and the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 as well as the Battle of the Nive in December 1813 and the Battle of Bayonne in April 1814. He was appointed an aide-de-camp to the Prince Regent with the rank of colonel on 4 June 1814.
During the Hundred Days, Woodford commanded the 2nd battalion of the Coldstream Guards at the Battle of Quatre Bras, the Battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambrai in June 1815. During the closing stages of the Battle of Waterloo, Woodford fought his way into the Château d'Hougoumont, one of the key landmarks on the battlefield, and then took command of it as the Duke of Wellington ordered a general advance on the French. Woodford was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 4 June 1815 and a Knight of the Austrian Military Order of Maria Theresa on 2 August 1815. He remained in command of his battalion when it formed part of the Army of Occupation of France.
Promoted to major general on 27 May 1825, Woodford became lieutenant governor and brigade commander at Malta in 1825 and lieutenant governor and brigade commander at Corfu in 1827. Advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 13 September 1831 and appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George on 30 June 1832, he became commander of the British garrison on the Ionian Islands (where he also briefly served as acting Lord High Commissioner) in 1832. He went on to be Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar in February 1835 and Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Gibraltar in September 1836.
Promoted to lieutenant general on 28 June 1838, Woodford retired from active military service in 1843. Advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath on 6 April 1852 and having been promoted to full general on 20 June 1854, he became Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in September 1856 and was appointed to a Royal Commission to inquire into the system of Promotion and Retirement in the higher ranks of the Army in May 1863. Promoted to field marshal on 1 January 1868, he was raised to the office of Governor of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in August 1868. He also served as colonel of the 40th Regiment of Foot and then as colonel of the Scots Fusilier Guards. He died at the governor's residence at the Royal Chelsea Hospital on 26 August 1870 and was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery.
Family
Woodford's father was descended maternally from Ralph Brideoake, a 17th-century clergyman who became Dean of Salisbury.
In 1820 Woodford married Charlotte Mary Ann Fraser; they had two sons one of whom, Charles John Woodford, was killed at the Siege of Cawnpore during the Indian Mutiny and is commemorated by a memorial stone in the floor of the north transept of Westminster Abbey.
The elder son, the Reverend Adolphus Frederick Alexander Woodford, left the Coldstream Guards for a career in the Anglican Church, later becoming a prominent historian of Freemasonry.
Woodford also had a younger brother, John George Woodford (1785–1879), who enjoyed a similarly respectable military career. During this career, he fought in numerous battles in the Napoleonic Wars, including Waterloo, where some sources (Medieval Dead with Tim Sutherland) state that he was the last living British officer to have served at the battle upon his death. He also contributed a large part to military reform in the nineteenth-century, particularly such acts as the abolishment of the purchase of commissions and certain punishment methods. He is also noted for the archaeological excavations that he carried out at the supposed battle-field site of Azincourt. His brother died at the age of ninety-four in Keswick in 1879.

17992862 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzanian%20passport | Tanzanian passport | The Tanzanian passport is issued to citizens of the United Republic of Tanzania for international travel. The Immigration Department is responsible for the issuance of Passports for the purpose of international travel.
The Immigration Department falls under the Tanzanian Ministry of Home Affairs (In Kiswahili: Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani ya Nchi). This passport is issued only to the citizens of Tanzania. There are three types of Passports, which are Ordinary, Service and Diplomatic.
As of January 2018, Tanzania began issuing the new East African format ePassport, in line with the East African Community integration plans.
Features of the Tanzanian ePassport;;
–Electronic chip holding the same information as the old model passport
–Enhanced Security features.
–Biometric identifier
–Digital photograph of the passport holder
The new ePassport is issued under different colours for Ordinary (navy blue), Diplomatic (red) and Service (green). The new ePassport has been made available to all Tanzanians seeking passports for international travel from January 2018.
The old ordinary passport was in use until January 2020 when it was officially retired.
History
Before issuing the new ePassports, the Passport Control Authority of Tanzania used to issue machine-readable passports. The previous model before the machine readable version, was designed in the 1970s, before computer technology became widely available, hence the holder's data was typewritten or even handwritten on it.
In contrast to the current ePassports, the previous ordinary Tanzanian passport was green in colour, while the Diplomatic Passport was Black and Service Passport was blue. The new Tanzanian ePassport complies with the ICAO standards. When the passport was first issued, the holder's fingerprints, signature and photograph would be digitally acquired and stored in a database, but only the holder's digital picture was coded in the physical passport, in a two-dimensional barcode. The latter, as well as the holder's personal identification data and his or her picture are directly laser-printed on the passport.
Validity
The Tanzanian passport is usually valid for a period of ten years from the date of issuance. Once expired it must be renewed in order to continue travelling. However, it can be renewed a few months before expiring so as not to inconvenience frequent travellers.
Languages
Details inside the passport are provided in Swahili (the national language) and English, which are the two de facto official languages. There are captions in the data page that are translated in these two languages as well.
Description
The new ePassports are navy blue colour for ordinary citizens. They have the Tanzanian coat of arms emblazoned in gold in the centre of the front cover. The coat of arms reads, "Uhuru na Umoja", which means "Freedom and Unity". The words "East African Community" are inscribed at the top followed by "The United Republic of Tanzania" inscribed in gold text above the coat of arms, while the words "Passport" is inscribed in gold text the coat of arms and "Pasipoti" inscribed in gold text at the bottom.
The first page of the passport includes the passport note followed by the identity information page. The pages inside the passport feature various designs including the 'big five game' animals found in Tanzanian national parks and the unification of Tanzania and Zanzibar by former President Julius K. Nyerere.
The Data Page Includes:
1. Type
2. State code
3. Passport number
4. Surname
5. Name
6. Nationality
7. Date of birth
8. Sex
9. Issue date
10. Expiry date
11. Place of birth
12. Issuing authority

17992880 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing%20Westward | Sailing Westward | "Sailing Westward" is a poem written by Alfred Noyes, and set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar. It was one of the songs (collectively known as the "Pageant of Empire") written to be performed in the Pageant of Empire at the British Empire Exhibition, Wembley Park, on 21 July 1924.
The song descriptively commemorates the adventurous English sea-captains who sailed to "... chase the setting sun ... westward, thro' the thund'ring gales".
Elgar used the same music for four other songs in the set: "The Islands", "Gloriana" (Queen Elizabeth I), "The Cape of Good Hope" (for South Africa) and "Indian Dawn".
This song was arranged by the composer as an accompanied part-song for SATB.

17992902 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groovin%27%20High | Groovin' High | "Groovin' High" is an influential 1945 song by jazz composer and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The song was a bebop mainstay that became a jazz standard, one of Gillespie's best known hits, and according to Bebop: The Music and Its Players author Thomas Owens, "the first famous bebop recording". The song is a complex musical arrangement based on the chord structure of the 1920 standard originally recorded by Paul Whiteman, "Whispering", with lyrics by John Schonberger and Richard Coburn (né Frank Reginald DeLong; 1886–1952) and music by Vincent Rose. The biography Dizzy characterizes the song as "a pleasant medium-tempo tune" that "demonstrates...[Gillespie's] skill in fashioning interesting textures using only six instruments".
The song has been used to title many compilation albums and also the 2001 biography Groovin' High: The Life of Dizzy Gillespie.
Impact
The track appeared on the debut 1947 album, Dizzy Gillespie and His All Stars, the song is one of eight on that album that, according to jazz critic Scott Yanow, "shocked" Gillespie's contemporaries, contributing to that album's "permanently [changing]...jazz and (indirectly) the entire music world". In Jazz: A Regional Exploration, Yanow explained that at the time such songs "were unprecedented...displaying a radically different language" from contemporary swing. But though fans and fellow musicians found the material "very strange and difficult", The Sax & Brass Book notes, they were quickly adopted as classics. According to Yanow, "Parker and Gillespie's solos seemed to have little relation to the melody, but they were connected. It was a giant step forward for jazz".
Thomas Owens highlights the innovative use of source material, pointing out that while it was not uncommon for jazz musicians to utilize existing chord structures in their compositions in 1945, Gillespie's "melodic contrafact was the most complex jazz melody superimposed on a pre-existing chordal scheme", "atypically elaborate".
Performance history
First performed on February 9, 1945, Gillespie reworked the arrangement for a February 28 performance to allow an improvisation by guitarist Remo Palmier, and it is this reworking that became so well known.
In the book Yardbird Suite, music historian Lawrence O. Koch sets forth in detail the structure of the song as performed on December 29, 1945 and preserved by Armed Forces Radio Service, from the two-bar unison figure by Gillespie and Charlie Parker that open the song to the Gillespie coda at the end. Not having to conform to 78 rpm technology, Gillespie and his band were able to add several minutes to the song during that performance. The author praises the "lovely, logical, melodic construction" of Parker's 16-bar solo as well as singling out performances by Gillespie ("excellent"), Slam Stewart ("inimitable") and Palmieri ("adequate"). Noting that the coda "has become a jazz cliché, both in its melody and the chord pattern from which the melody was derived", they also draw attention to Gillespie's "prima donna breath control" on the final E-flat, with only a "slight loss in intonation" in spite of the difficulty of the phrase. The book Charlie Parker: His Music and Life describes this performance, along with the three other songs played in that session, as capturing "much of the vitality of the early Gillespie-Parker partnership.
Other notable performances of the song took place on September 29, 1947, when Parker and Gillespie reunited in concert at Carnegie Hall, and during a 1956 tour sponsored by the US State Department. Owens describes the 1947 recording as among the finest of Parker's career. During the 1956 tour, Gillespie simultaneously performed "Groovin' High" and "Whispering" to demonstrate the way jazz musicians build on the bones of earlier compositions.
Inspiration
According to the book Visions of Jazz: The First Century by Gary Giddins, Gillespie once recounted that he believed the song had been inspired by a film serial he saw at a matinée when he was a child that used the song "Whispering" as its theme. Gillespie offered no details about the serial, except that he believed it might have starred stuntman and rodeo rider Yakima Canutt.
Albums named for the song
There are at least 11 different albums in the Gillespie discography alone named Groovin' High, compilations that include the song along with other notable tracks that Gillespie performed. In addition, several compilations have been released under this title in Parker's name.
Gillespie albums
Groovin' High (Bandstand): "Although not essential, there are some very interesting performances on this boppish CD." – Scott Yanow.
Groovin' High (Collectables): "It all makes for a rather mixed bag and doesn't make a particularly good introduction to Gillespie, although it does jarringly show some of the extremes in the Diz legacy." – Steve Leggett.
Groovin' High (Drive) (1994): Re-issue of the Collectables releases.

Groovin' High (Eclipse): "As it's a discount album..., it's a wonderful addition to the collection of any Gillespie fan."
Groovin' High (High Definition Classics)
Groovin' High (Indigo): "Fans of this style of jazz likely already have all of this classic material, but as a stocking stuffer or birthday present for a fledgling young jazz fan, this would work well." – Michael G. Nastos.
Groovin' High (Jazz Hour)
Groovin' High (Living End): "It serves as a fine introduction to one of jazz's great innovators." – Thom Jurek.

Groovin' High (Prism Records, 205) , 25 tracks, 74 minutes
Groovin' High (Savoy): "Certainly filled with classic music, but this is a so-so, lightweight reissue...because there are only 13 selections..., the liner notes are dated and breezy, and the complete sessions are not included." – Scott Yanow.

17992924 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shukr | Shukr | Shukr () is an Arabic term denoting thankfulness, gratitude or acknowledgment by humans, being a highly esteemed virtue in Islam. The term may also be used if the subject is God, in which case it takes the meaning of "divine responsiveness".
Definition
According to Al-Raghib al-Isfahani, Shukr is to recognise a blessing and display it. It has been said that it was originally kashr, meaning ‘to unveil and expose,’ then the first two letters were swapped. Its opposite is kufr, which is ‘to cover, conceal, and forget a blessing.
In Islamic contexts
God
When the subject of shukr is God, the concept signifies "requiting and commending [a person]", "forgiving" a person, or "regarding" the person "with content, satisfaction, good will"; and thus, necessarily, "recompensing". In fact, the Arabic saying shakara 'llāhu saʿyahu mean "May God recompense [or reward] his work [or labour]".
One of the beautiful names of God is al-Shakūr, meaning "He who approves [or rewards, or forgives] much; He in whose estimation small [or few] works performed by His servants increase, and who multiplies His rewards to them". The Qur'an refers to Him by al-Shākir too.
God is considered al-Shakūr in the sense that He widely extends His favors. God's shukr is not to be considered thankfulness in a literal sense. Rather God's shukr is a recompense to man for doing good, (just as man is recomposed for committing offenses). According to al-Ghazali, God is absolutely grateful, because of His unlimited multiplication of the reward of the pious, as they shall receive eternal bliss in Paradise. Al-Maksad writes that God's praise for man's good deeds is praise for His own work, since the good of man is His creation.
Prophets: the Qur'an provides narratives of the prophets of God as individuals of gratitude. Their thanksgiving is exemplified by their obedience and faithfulness to God:
Abraham's obedience and faithfulness were tokens of his gratitude to God;
Noah is described as a man of gratitude;
the Qur'an reasons that the endowment of Solomon with supernatural gifts to accomplish the ends for which God appointed him, was so that he would be grateful.
Shukr in Sunnah
It had been narrated that when a pleasing event happened to the Messenger of God, he would say, “Praise be to God for this blessing,” and when a distressing event happened to him, he would say, “Praise be to God at all times.”
It was reported that: One night that the Messenger of Allah was with ‘A’ishah, she said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, why do you exhaust yourself when God has forgiven you your former and latter sins?” The Prophet replied, “O ‘A’ishah, shouldn’t I be a grateful servant?”
The hadith collections include various reports of Muhammad expressing gratitude to God. He fell down prostrate to God three times during the Hijra from Mecca to Medina. He is also reported to have done this after Gabriel informed him a favor God had bestowed upon him. Muhammad also used to do this to thank God for his good health, especially when he met those afflicted with illness. Other instances on which Muhammad prostrated in thanks: military success, conversion of notable people to Islam.
Conditions for proper Shukr
There are three conditions to a proper and complete praise of God: 1) To know God as the Giver of bounties, 2) To be pleased and satisfied with what He has given you, and 3) Not to use His bounty in the way of His disobedience.
Reality of Shukr
In a Sufi context, shukr is an internal state and its external expression. It is considered a station (maḳām) of the wayfarer (sālik).
Expression
The expression of shukr takes various forms in the Islamic religion and belief system . The maxim "he who does not thank his fellow men shows ingratitude towards God" highlights the importance of such expression. On the other hand, those who are thanked are expected to say "don't thank me, be grateful to God."
It is common practice to kiss one's hands and to say "I praise Him and thank Him for His bounty." Another expression is "we are thankful to God, and we kiss the ground thousand fold that you are pleased." When asked about health, one may answer "thank God", gratitude to God is also commonly expressed for someone's recovery. In times of calamity, gratitude is expressed by saying "thank God it is not more grave".
Shukr is also expressed by prostration (sujud). Although most notable for being a fundamental part of the Islamic prayer, Islamic traditions also mentions the sujud al-shukr, literally meaning "the thanksgiving prostration."
Examples of practical Shukr according to Islam
Prayer
Fasting
Serving people
Contentment
Taking care of orphans.
Assisting the deprived and the needy.
Being grateful to others.
Significants of Shukr according to Quran
Shukr leads to the enhancement of blessings
Shukr benefits he who perform it.
Shukr is a sign of Worshipping Allah.
Shukr gives us rest of mind.
Shukr is a way of remembering Allah.
Shukr is a way of disobedience to the commandment of Shaitan(devil) and obedience to Allah.
Shukr is a sign of accepting Allah as the provider of favor.
Shakr gains the pleasure of Allah.
How to achieve Shukr
"We must first identify and know the bounties and blessings bestowed upon us (both physical and spiritual).
We must realize the fact that the blessings of Allah upon us are countless, thus, we can not thank Him as He deserved.
In addition to these, We must realised that it is Allah who protected Us from all possible evils and misfortune that could have struck us.""

17992926 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achentoul | Achentoul | Achentoul (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh an t-Sabhail; translation: "field of the barn") is a hamlet in the Kinbrace area of Sutherland, in the Scottish council area of Highland. Consisting of a few farmhouses and barns, Achentoul lies around north of Kinbrace along the A897 road and south of Loch An Ruathair. Although the Achentoul Forest is located in this area, the landscape is said to be dominated by moist Atlantic heather moor.
Geography
The Achentoul Estate boasts several lochs, including Loch Ascaig, Loch Arachlinie, Loch Badanloch, Loch Ruthair, Loch Drum, Loch Lucy, Loch Cullidh, Loch Dubh, Loch Sletill and Loch Badanloch. Loch fishing is available on a number of the estate's lochs.
Flora and fauna
The rugged and remote Achentoul Forest lies to the north of Achentoul Lodge. A deer forest, it has been a noted sporting estate for deer shooting for centuries. The area is frequented by deer year round, as well as birds of prey.
Culture
Achentoul Lodge was built c. 1900. It is situated southeast of Loch An Ruathair, overlooking the moorland to the north of Kinbrace.
The lodge organizes hind stalking during the winter months (October–February) to kill deer, which are considered pests to the forest. For the sport the farm charges up to £130 for a session if the shooter hires a keeper, although a stalker is only permitted to kill two deer in a session. However, the farm claims that the hind stalking is for woodland conservation purposes primarily, given that the Achentoul estate by 1970 had dedicated for afforestation and sold to the Forestry Commission. Rabbit shooting on the farm is also available.
A notable family on the farm are the Nutting family, who hired the late Donald Mackay to manage the farm in 1958. He worked in Achentoul for a long time with the Henderson brothers; he died in 2010, aged 76.
The Ca na Catanach is a medieval road and drovers' road with a footpath between Dorrery Lodge and the north end of Achentoul.
Kinbrace Hill (also known as Kinbrace Farm or Achentoul Forest) is noted by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland for a long, chambered cairn.

17992928 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia%20Nyberg | Julia Nyberg | Julia Kristina Nyberg (née Svärdström; 17 November 1784 – 16 April 1854), was a Swedish poet and songwriter. She published two collections of poetry and was awarded by the Swedish Academy. She wrote the vast majority of her works under the pseudonym Euphrosyne.
Biography
Julia Kristina Nyberg was born in the parish of Skultuna in Västmanland County, Sweden. Her parents, Per Svärdström (1726–1789) and Beata Eliasdotter Almgren (1747–1799), both died while she was young. She grew up as the foster daughter of industrialist and mill owner, named Adlerwald. In 1809 she moved to Stockholm, where she was influenced by the Aurora League (Aurora-förbundet), an artistic society under the leadership of Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom. In 1822, she moved back to Skultuna and was married the same year to Anders Wilhelm Nyberg (1793 – 1851).
Nyberg is most famous for her songs written for the Walpurgis Night holiday, many of which are still sung and recorded today, including Vårvindar friska and Fruktmånglerskan med tapperhetsmedalj. For the majority of her literary career she belonged to the circle of writers that formed around the Romantic poet Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom and regularly published her poetry in the group's journal: Poetisk kalender. She never aspired to the epic poetry that characterized many of her contemporaries' works, but instead focussed on writing shorter poems inspired by nature.

17992940 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%20chromate | Sodium chromate | Sodium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2CrO4. It exists as a yellow hygroscopic solid, which can form tetra-, hexa-, and decahydrates. It is an intermediate in the extraction of chromium from its ores.
Production and reactivity
It is obtained on a vast scale by roasting chromium ores in air in the presence of sodium carbonate:
2Cr2O3 + 4 Na2CO3 + 3 O2 → 4 Na2CrO4 + 4 CO2
This process converts the chromium into a water-extractable form, leaving behind iron oxides. Typically calcium carbonate is included in the mixture to improve oxygen access and to keep silicon and aluminium impurities in an insoluble form. The process temperature is typically around 1100 °C. For lab and small scale preparations a mixture of chromite ore, sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate reacting at lower temperatures may be used (even 350 C in the corresponding potassium chromate system). Subsequent to its formation, the chromate salt is converted to sodium dichromate, the precursor to most chromium compounds and materials. The industrial route to chromium(III) oxide involves reduction of sodium chromate with sulfur.
Acid-base behavior
It converts to sodium dichromate when treated with acids:
2 Na2CrO4 + 2HCl → Na2Cr2O7 + 2NaCl + H2O
Further acidification affords chromium trioxide:
Na2CrO4 + H2SO4 → CrO3 + Na2SO4 + H2O
Uses
Aside from its central role in the production of chromium from its ores, sodium chromate is used as a corrosion inhibitor in the petroleum industry. It is also a dyeing auxiliary in the textile industry. It is a diagnostic pharmaceutical in determining red blood cell volume.
In organic chemistry, sodium chromate is used as an oxidant, converting primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. Sodium chromate is a strong oxidizer.
Safety
As with other Cr(VI) compounds, sodium chromate is carcinogenic. The compound is also corrosive and exposure may produce severe eye damage or blindness. Human exposure further encompasses impaired fertility, heritable genetic damage and harm to unborn children.

17992984 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount%20Wollaston%20Cemetery | Mount Wollaston Cemetery | Mount Wollaston Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery at 20 Sea Street in the Merrymount neighborhood of Quincy, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1855 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
History
In 1854 when Hancock Cemetery in the center of the town had been filled to near capacity, a committee was formed at a town meeting to determine the site of a new burial ground. The committee chose a plot of land in the town farm, which had been donated by William Coddington and was located just west of the site of Quincy's founding spot, Mount Wollaston. Through the year the cemetery committee surveyed several cemeteries in the surrounding area for landscaping and architecture ideas, including Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain and Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. After consulting with Superintendent Brims of Forest Hills, Luther Briggs of Dorchester was hired to design and build the cemetery. Briggs chose a gothic revival style for the architecture, and used the plot dimensions adopted by Mount Auburn as a template for Mount Wollaston. The first two plots were ceremoniously purchased on May 5, 1856 by Charles Francis Adams, Sr., prominent attorney and son of the late former President of the United States, John Quincy Adams.
Monuments
An area known as the Veterans Section, located at the main Sea Street entrance to the cemetery, features several monuments honoring members of the military. The Civil War Monument, dedicated June 25, 1868, features a large granite monument surrounded by four period cannons. Other memorials include a Spanish–American War Memorial, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials and statuary monuments dedicated to the city's firemen and policemen.

17992991 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Znak%20%28publisher%29 | Znak (publisher) | Społeczny Instytut Wydawniczy „Znak” (English, "Znak Social Publishing Institute") is one of the largest Polish book publishing companies. It is related to the Catholic Church in Poland and publishes books in fields including fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and children's books. The company employs about 50 people and generates an annual sales turnover of $27.72 million.
Company history
Founded in 1959 by people associated with the Polish Roman Catholic weekly magazine Tygodnik Powszechny and the monthly periodical Znac, the company called itself a "Społeczny Instytut" (social institute) to remove itself from the Polish communist government's tight control of book publishing at that time.
In the martial law years (1981-83) Znak was "a bridge between public and underground writing". Authors published in the 1990s included Joseph Brodsky, Umberto Eco, Leszek Kolakowski, Stanislaw Lem and Czesław Miłosz.
One of Znak's bestselling titles (selling 180,000 copies by early 1998) was Boże igrzysko: Historia Polski (1989), the Polish language translation of Norman Davies's God's Playground, a comprehensive two volume history of Poland. The work had been originally published in the United Kingdom in 1981 and was only published officially in Poland after the fall of communism.
In 2010 the company established three imprints, Znak, Znak Literanova and Znak Emotikon, and in 2014 it set up Znak Horyzont. It also has an imprint called Wydawnictwo Otwarte ("Open Publishing") which issues "popular literature" and a platform called Woblink which provides e-books.

17993012 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross%20Hamilton | Ross Hamilton | Ross Hamilton (c. 1843-1901) was a carpenter, storekeeper, federal employee and Republican Party politician who represented Mecklenburg County in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1870 to 1883, and 1889–1890. Hamilton had the longest legislative career of any African American in 19th century Virginia.
Early and family life
Born a slave in Mecklenburg County, Virginia in about 1843, the names of his parents remain unknown. A carpenter by trade, Hamilton had likely married a woman named Pattie Shelton by 1870, who bore 4 daughters and 2 sons together. However, three of the children died as infants and one died in college in 1885. After his first wife died of tuberculosis in November, 1883, the widower married M. B. Knox on May 18, 1885, who bore three children, but both sons also died as infants.
Career
Trained as a carpenter, Hamilton eventually operated a store in Boydton, Virginia, the Mecklenburg county seat. He also purchased six pieces of real estate in Boydton near the former Randolph-Macon Academy, which had moved northward to Ashland, Virginia just north of Richmond, and its former campus ultimately became the Boydton Institute, a school for African-Americans. He bought those properties in 1871, 1872, two in 1873, one in 1875 and the last in 1892, some with Dick Jones as partner before Jones joined the Readjuster Party discussed below and also incurred legal problems in the mid-1880s.
Political career
Mecklenburg County had an African American majority in this era and Hamilton was a good orator and very able political leader. He carefully cultivated friendships and made alliances throughout the country. Reportedly, he also enjoyed "drinking in bars and talking politics with his friends on Saturday nights and rising early on Sunday mornings to attend church with their families." Several politicians of both races considered him "unbeatable" as Hamilton had won the largest number of votes in seven consecutive elections for the House of Delegates from 1870 through 1881. He won his first term to finish the term of John Watson, who had represented Mecklenburg county in the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868 and also briefly served as delegate but died in office. Hamilton was an active member of the Republican party.
As a member of the minority party in the Virginia House of Delegates, during his first three terms, Hamilton only was appointed to low level committees, such as the "Committees on Executive Expenditures" and the "Committee on Manufactures and Mechanic Arts." A much more capable party leader than legislator, in 1882, Hamilton unsuccessfully sponsored a bill which prevented people who did not live in Virginia from attending the county's tax-payer-supported public schools. He was a delegate to the Republican National Conventions in 1872 and 1876. Unlike most African American political leaders in Virginia during his time, he did not initially support the Readjuster party, and remained a "straightout" Republican. This ended up costing him his seat in the Legislature, as the Readjusters who were at the height of their political power, ran an African American man (Amos Andre Dodson) to challenge Hamilton for the nomination. Dodson ended up winning the Republican nomination for the Mecklenburg County seat in the House of Delegates, and thus denied Hamilton his 8th term. However, Dodson lost his re-election bid, and two years later Hamilton threw his support to Britton Baskerville Jr. who won. Hamilton would run again in 1889 for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, winning the primary when Baskerville withdrew, then outpolled J.N. Hutcheson, a white man 2248 votes to 2194. But, just a month into the subsequent Virginia General Assembly session, the House declared Hamilton's election improper, and seated his opponent.
Later life
After losing his legislative seat in 1890, Hamilton moved permanently to Washington D.C., where he had begun working at patronage jobs as early as 1879 (and commuted to Boydton for years). He held jobs in the Government Printing Office and later at the Department of the Interior. Hamilton continued his political activism, speaking at an 1892 meeting of the Virginia Republicans at the party’s national headquarters in Washington, as well as campaigning for the Republican congressional candidate in the Fourth District in 1894 and 1898.
Death and legacy
Hamilton died at his residence in Washington, D.C., on May 2, 1901, and was buried on the grounds of Boydton Institute in Boydton, Virginia. His Boydton properties had declined in value and were ultimately sold to pay debts of his estate.

17993075 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaday | Shaday | Shaday is an album by Israeli singer Ofra Haza, released in 1988. Shaday, recorded in both Tel Aviv and England, became Haza's international breakthrough album and includes the Hebrew-English language remix singles "Im Nin'alu" and "Galbi," as well as "Shaday" and "Da'Ale Da'Ale," also released as remix singles.
Background
Shaday was released after the international chart success of the single "Im Nin'alu (English Mix)". Like the follow-up single "Galbi", the original version of "Im Nin'alu" was included on the 1984 album Yemenite Songs, which consisted of traditional folk songs with lyrics coming from the poetry of 16th century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. Both tracks were released in a wide array of dance remixes both in Israel and internationally, following Eric B. & Rakim, Coldcut, M/A/R/R/S, and a number of other hip-hop and dance acts sampling Haza's voice.
The hit single "Im Nin' Alu" was preceded by a 12" remix of "Galbi" named Special Mix (Long Version and Short Version) released by the record label Globe Style. It was an underground club hit in Israel, Europe and the United States in 1985 and 1986. For the Shaday album, the track was again remixed with an arrangement similar to that of "Im Nin' Alu" and also partly re-recorded with English language lyrics and subsequently re-issued as the follow-up single in both Europe and the United States in 1988.
"Love Song," an a cappella with lyrics from the Old Testament's "Song of Songs" (8:6-7), first recorded under the Hebrew title "Azah Ka'Mavet Ahavah" on the 1977 album Shir HaShirim (Love Songs), has, just like the original 1984 version of "Im Nin' Alu," been sampled and remixed frequently through the 1990s and 2000s.
Two further songs on the Shaday album were English-language versions of tracks previously recorded in Hebrew: "My Aching Heart" (as "Hake'ev Haze") and "Take Me to Paradise" ("Bo Venagen Otti"), both released on the Israeli pop album Yamim Nishbarim (Broken Days) in 1986.
The US Sire Records CD release of Shaday adds the 1988 12" Sehoog Mix of "Galbi" bonus track.

17993104 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian%20Declaration%20of%20Independence | Albanian Declaration of Independence | The Albanian Declaration of Independence (Albanian: Deklarata e Pavarësisë) was the declaration of independence of Albania from the Ottoman Empire. Independent Albania was proclaimed in Vlorë on 28 November 1912. Six days later the Assembly of Vlorë formed the first Government of Albania which was led by Ismail Qemali and the Council of Elders (Pleqnia).
The success of the Albanian Revolt of 1912 sent a strong signal to the neighboring countries that the Ottoman Empire was weak. The Kingdom of Serbia opposed the plan for an Albanian Vilayet, preferring a partition of the European territory of the Ottoman Empire among the four Balkan allies. Balkan allies planned the partition of the European territory of the Ottoman Empire among them and in the meantime the territory conquered during First Balkan War was agreed to have status of the Condominium. That was the reason for Kemal to organize an All-Albanian Congress in Vlorë.
Independence
Declaration
The Assembly of 40 delegates meeting in southern Albania in the city of Vlorë on 28 November 1912, declared Albania an independent country. On 4 December 1912 they set up a provisional government. The complete text of the declaration, composed in Albanian, partially in Gheg, Tosk and Ottoman Turkish, was:
Signatories
Below is the list of the forty signatories as published by newspaper Perlindja e Shqipëniës. The original act of the Declaration of Independence was written on a single piece of letter. On the front page, there are a total of 34 recognizable signatures and on the back page are found 6 more signatures.
Assembly of Vlorë
Under these circumstances, delegates from all over Albania were gathered in the Assembly of Vlorë (). Ismail Kemal returned to Albania with Austro-Hungarian support and, at the head of a swiftly convened national assembly, declared Albanian independence in the town of Vlora on 28 November 1912. The declaration was more theoretical than practical because Vlora was the only town in the whole country under the delegates' control―yet it proved to be effective in the vacuum of power. Though Albanian independence was recognised de facto on 17 December 1912 at the London Conference of Ambassadors, it was not until 29 July 1913, after the second Balkan War and the solving of the delicate problem of Shkodra, that the international community agreed to recognise Albania as a neutral, sovereign and hereditary principality. The newspaper Përlindja of Vlora described it as follows:
The National Assembly, composed of delegates from all over Albania and convening here in Vlora, opened today at four in the afternoon at the house of Xhemil bey. Ismail Kemal bey, as the prime initiator of the gathering, took the floor and explained to the delegates the purpose of the assembly, that is, that they all must strive to do what is necessary to save Albania from the great perils it is now facing.
The chairman, Ismail Kemal Bey, then took the floor and, in an ardent, fluid and reasonable speech, stated that although they had always been faithful to the Ottoman Empire, the Albanians had never forgotten their own language and nationality, the best proof of this being the endeavours and uprisings that had taken place from time to time, in particular over the last four years, to preserve their rights and customs. The Ottoman Government had never taken their interests into consideration and had never been willing to recompense the Albanians for the great services they had rendered. It had recently shown some interest in coming to an understanding with our people, but had not given proof of good faith and had not taken all the steps needed to appease and satisfy the Albanians. War had recently broken out with four countries in the Balkans that were seeking change and rights for their peoples, united by their ethnicity and religion.
Later, these countries put aside their initial objective and, as the war was going well for them, they agreed to divide the Empire up among themselves, including Albania. Realizing that the Turkish army had been defeated and that the Empire would not survive, the Albanians, who had played a greater role in the fighting than the soldiers, hastened to take requisite steps in their own interests as owners of the country. For this reason, Ismail Kemal bey departed for Istanbul and, having come to an understanding with the Albanians of Bucharest, too, set off for Vienna, where he reached an agreement with the Great Powers that had vital interests in the Balkans. As there was no more hope of saving Albania by means of arms, the only road to salvation was to separate Albania from Turkey. Ismail Kemal bey promoted this idea and objective, that was well received by all the Great Powers, in particular by Austria and Italy. It was only Russia that remained somewhat hostile to the idea because of the Slavs, but it did not deny the existence of Albania and an Albanian people. To realise this objective, he invited all Albanians to gather in Vlora and was delighted today to see that his call had not been in vain, and that delegates had been sent from all parts of Albania to reflect together on ways to save the Fatherland. According to Ismail Kemal Bey, the most urgent measures that the Albanian nation must take today are these: that Albania be independent under a provisional government; that a council of elders be elected to assist and supervise the government; and that a commission be sent to Europe to defend Albanian interests among the Great Powers.
The delegates unanimously agreed with the words of Ismail Kemal bey and resolved that Albania, as of today, should be on her own, free and independent under a provisional government.
The meeting was adjourned until the following day and the delegates went out and greeted the flag that was raised at five thirty in the afternoon.
The second session of the Assembly of Vlorë was held on 4 December 1912. During that members of the assembly founded the first government of Independent Albania on 4 December 1912, which was led by Ismail Kemal. The government established also a 'Council of Elders' (Pleqësia), which would help the government to its duties. In addition, the Assembly of Vlorë decided that it would agree to any decision of the Great Powers for the system of government in Albania and that the provisional government would cease to exist after the recognition of independence of the country and the nomination of the monarch.
The same day, Kemal waved the national flag of Albania, from the balcony of the Assembly of Vlorë, in the presence of hundreds of Albanians.
Delegates
This is a complete list of the 79 registered delegates by region:
Recognition of independence
Diplomatic efforts
Just as the overseas communities of Albanians had stimulated the patriotic fervor which gradually led to the independence of their homeland, so at this critical juncture they once again demonstrated their solidarity. On 1 March 1913, they convened an Albanian Congress of Trieste, Austria. There were 119 representatives in all, coming from the United States, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, and of course from the new state itself. Bishop Fan Noli of Boston was one of the featured speakers.
The congress recognized the provisional government of Ismail Qemal, pledged its faithful support, discussed the ethnic boundaries of the new state and sent strong resolutions to the European capitals and to the London Conference of Ambassadors then in session, appealing for their recognition of Albanian independence and for the lifting of the Greek blockade.
Treaty of London and recognition of independence
In December 1912 the Great Powers met in London to deal with territorial adjustments arising out of the conclusion of the First Balkan War.
After months of wrangling and compromise under the constant threat of a general war, the conference announced its formal decisions on 17 May 1913. The question of Albanian independence that had prompted the Conference of Ambassadors at London came up for discussion at their first session. According to article II of the treaty, the six ambassadors decided that Albania would be recognized as an autonomous state under the sovereignty of the Ottoman sultan.
After the breakout of the Balkan Wars, on 29 July, the ambassadors decided to recognize the total independence and sovereignty of Albania. They provided that it be governed by a European prince to be elected by the powers. Albanian neutrality would be jointly guaranteed by the six great powers. They also appointed an International Commission of Control for Albania, to be composed of one representative from each of the six powers and one Albanian. This commission would supervise the Albanian government's organization, finances and administration for a 10-year period. Dutch officers would organize the gendarmerie.
Austria-Hungary was a major supporter of Albanian independence and saw it as a way to cut off the interests of Kingdom of Serbia.
Soon after the Declaration of Independence Albania was occupied by the Balkan League member states (Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece). The Occupation of Albania (1912–1913) took place during the Balkan Wars.
Commemoration in Albanian banknotes
The facade of the building where the independence was proclaimed is depicted on the reverses of the Albanian 200 lekë banknote of 1992–1996, and of the 500 lekë banknote issued since 1996.

17993113 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyes%20on%20This | Eyes on This | Eyes on This is the second studio album by American hip hop recording artist MC Lyte. It was released on October 3, 1989, via First Priority and Atlantic Records, and was produced by Audio Two, Grand Puba, the King of Chill, Marley Marl, and PMD.
The album became the first by a female solo rapper to appear on the Billboard 200 (then called Billboard Top Pop Albums), on which it remained for 20 weeks, peaking 86 in November 1989. It also peaking 6 on the Billboard Top Black Albums, being the first female solo rapper to break into the top 10 of that chart, as well as the highest position reached by Lyte.
The lead single Cha Cha Cha reached 35 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles and spent 19 weeks on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles, peaking at 1. Later, Stop, Look, Listen and Cappucino would become top 10 in the Hot Rap Singles (in 9 and 8, respectively).
Recording and production
As on the album Lyte as a Rock, most of the songs are produced by Audio Two and King of Chill, incorporating other producers on some specific tracks. "Capuccino" was produced and co-written by Juice Crew's Marley Marl and recorded at his "House of Hits" home studio in Chestnut Ridge. "Slave 2 the Rhythm" was co-written and produced by EPMD's PMD. "I Am the Lyte" and "Funky Song" was co-written and produced by Brand Nubian's Grand Puba. For his part, Positive K, with whom Lyte had previously worked on the duet I'm Not Havin' It, has songwriting credits on the track "Rhyme Hangover."
Music and lyrics
The album addresses some social issues such as violence around drugs and addictions ("Cappucino", "Not wit' a Dealer") and machismo ("Please Understand"). Regarding the content of Please Understand, Lyte told Deborah Gregory in an Essence profile "I’ve never let a man dog me and I never will, It’s just not gonna happen!". The track "Survival of the Fittest" is a remix by King of Chill along with Audio Two of the original included on the compilation album The First Priority Music Family: Basement Flavor (1988). As the last track was included "K-Rocks Housin", a set by Lyte's disc jockey DJ K-Rock.
The diss track to Antoinette "Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)", which was originally the b-side of the single Lyte as a Rock, was included on the album. On the track "Slave 2 the Rhythm" she would say "It took a whole album for you to try and diss me/And ha-ha-ha, slum bitch, you still missed me/But yo, I'm off the dissin tip, cause that takes no creation" and would add "'Gangstress', don't make me laugh" in reference to Antoinette's nickname.
"Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)" was later sampled on TLC's Hat 2 da Back, The Lox's "Goin' Be Some Shit" and Common's "Orange Pineapple Juice". "Slave 2 the Rhythm" was sampled by Naughty by Nature on "Strike a Nerve" and by electropunk group Mindless Self Indulgence on "Tornado".
Artwork
The cover photo, taken by Robert Manella, shows Lyte with her DJ K-Rock with two Porsche Carrera '89. This was taken at pier 6 of Brooklyn Bridge Park, with the World Trade Center complex of buildings visible behind them.
In December 2010 the cover was included by Flavorwire in their "11 Stylish '80s Hip-Hop Album Covers" list, reviewing "MC Lyte’s hairstyle and oversized power suit haven’t necessarily aged well, but her DJ looks smooth, and there’s something ageless about lounging by a couple of Porsches before the city skyline. The soft focus adds a touch of mystery to the proceedings."
Critical reception
In his "Consumer Guide" column in The Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau commented "backtalk like a pro, sometimes like an original --the rhythmic obscenities on the spectacularly unsisterly "Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)" are mind-boggling. Her tales of the drug wars are tough and prowoman, and the narrative tone of "Cappucino"—part fable, part metaphor, part confessional revery, part dumb it-was-only-a-dream—is avant-garde. Elsewhere she's a pro." He also highlighted a better production compared to his debut album.
Rolling Stone magazine described the album as a "slamming, street-smart" endeavor. People's Michael Small considered MC Lyte on the album “maintained her reputation as an insult-hurling tough talker who rapped to hard, simple beats”. For his part, Jon Pareles of The New York Times would write in his review of the album "Most of the songs continue to brag and sling insults, a gambit that can wear thin in the course of an album" although he highlighted the presence of songs like Please Understand, Not Wit 'a Dealer and Cappuccino "Even so, MC Lyte still has her ears to the street." John Leland reviewed for Spin magazine "(...) the new album is unrelentingly on, making a hard virtue of its simplicity and crudeness. In a genre that shows little patience for the vicissitudes of growing up, Lyte hangs onto her youth, battling more as a tomboy than a sexual warrior, all the while slipping into a childless world of drug dealers and casual murders."
Retrospect
In 1999, Ego Trip's editors ranked the album 17 in their list Hip Hop's 40 Greatest Album by Year 1989 in Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists.
Alex Henderson of AllMusic commented that the album "tends to be one-dimensional lyrically -- she spends too much time bragging about how superior her rapping skills are and how inept sucker MCs are. Though it's hard not to admire the technique and strong chops she displays on such boasting fare as "Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)" and "Slave 2 the Rhythm," she's at her best when telling some type of meaningful story." He also considered "Cappucino" the most outstanding song on the album "Were everything on the album in a class with "Cappuccino," it would have been an outstanding album instead of simply a good one."
In October 2019, on the 30th anniversary of its publication, it was reviewed by Jesse Ducker of Albumism, who commented "Eyes On This showcases Lyte's tenacity and increased confidence as an artist. Her lyrical abilities continued to improve, as she sounded even more confident . With the determination of a bulldog, she attacks each track, showing no mercy towards those who dare step to her." He would also comment on his later albums "Though Eyes On This was a success for Lyte, it was her last album where she mostly focused on emcee shit."
In November 2019 HipHopDX commented on the album "The original femme fatale turned heads and reloaded her arsenal on her sophomore album with a sharp wit, thick-as-molasses funky production and inspired a generation of female rappers including her fellow Brooklynites Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, and contemporaries such as Nicki Minaj and Rapsody."
In September 2020 it was reviewed by Sha Be Allah of The Source, who considered the album a "classic", described it as "Lyte’s introduction into stardom" and highlighting songs like "Cappucino," "Cha Cha Cha," and "Shut The Eff Up (Hoe)!"

17993130 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglases%20of%20Grangemuir | Douglases of Grangemuir | Grangemuir House was the seat of a junior branch of the Douglas family in Scotland. The house and attached estate was bought by Walter Irvine, a Scot who owned sugar estates in Tobago and Luddington House in Surrey.
It then passed to Irvine's daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Lord William Robert Keith Douglas, the fourth son of Sir William Douglas, 4th Baronet of Kelhead, and younger brother of both Charles Douglas, 6th Marquess of Queensberry and John Douglas, 7th Marquess of Queensberry. Grangemuir House is located just north of Pittenweem in Fife, Scotland and is now sitting within Grangemuir Woodland Chalet Park.
The house was of French design and was constructed as a hunting lodge for the family in the 18th century. The building was clad in the 1970s with pebbledashed concrete as a cheap way of excluding damp. Members of this branch of the Douglas family usually matriculated their arms with the mottos Jamais Arrière or Forward. However, in 1979, the previous head of the family, Walter Francis Edward Douglas (1917–2013), who reportedly converted to Roman Catholicism, was granted permission by the Lord Lyon to matriculate his arms with the motto Tendir and Trewe, as taken from the 15th-century poem The Buke of the Howlat, by Sir Richard Holland, chaplain to Archibald Douglas, Earl of Moray:O Douglas, O Douglas!Tendir and trewe
History
Grangemuir House was given to Lord William Robert Keith Douglas (1783 – 1859) along with of land surrounding it. On 24 November 1824, he married Elizabeth Irvine (died 1864); the couple had three children, William (1824–1868), Walter (1825–1901), and Charles (1837–1918). The children founded the Douglas Cottage Hospital in St Andrews in 1866 as a memorial to their mother, Lady William Douglas of Grangemuir - this memorial is still reflected in the contemporary St Andrews Memorial Hospital, one of whose wards is still called the Douglas Ward.
The heir, Walter Douglas Irvine married Anne Frances Lloyd, the daughter of an Anglo-Irish doctor from County Roscommon in 1870. They had six children, a number of whom were profoundly deaf. Some of these were known by the surname "Irvine", others "Douglas", rather than "Douglas-Irvine":
William Keith Douglas-Irvine (1876–1957)
Capt. (Walter) Francis Douglas (1878–1950)
Helen Florence Douglas (1880–1947), notable translator, historian & fiction writer and one of the first female graduates of St Andrews University
Rev. Henry Archibald Douglas-Irvine (1883–1962), Parson
Charles Gordon Douglas-Irvine (1885–1946)
Capt. Edward Percy Douglas (1886–?)
Lucy Christina Douglas-Irvine (1874?–19??), artist
Elizabeth Douglas-Irvine (?–?)
The 1905 Valuation Rolls show that after Walter died in 1901, almost all of the 64 listed properties were put under tenancy, including Grangemuir House, Farm and surrounding buildings which was rented by a Col. Erskine from May 1902 onwards (he eventually purchased the property in 1920). In 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916 a Mrs Douglas Irvine rented five different properties in the nearby village of Pittenweem, changing house each year. This is presumed to be Anne, who died in 1917.
The heir, Rev. Henry Archibald Douglas-Irvine, a parson, married Beatrice Alice Mabel Gratix (died 1976) in 1913, producing a son and heir, Walter Francis Edward Douglas who was born in 1917.
In May 1920, fifteen lots of the Grangemuir and Dunino farms were put up for sale. Just four were sold due to auction bids exceeding their "upset" price. A further seven lots were sold by 1924 at values below their original valuation.
The house continued in use until the 1970s whereupon it fell into ruin and was subsequently converted to a caravan park. Reportedly it has recently been demolished as it had become unsafe.
Henry's son, Walter Francis Edward Douglas (1917 – 2013), moved to Lincolnshire to become an art teacher at Stamford School. He married a Belgian. The oldest surviving member of the family is the eldest child of Walter Francis, Francis Gustave Douglas (born 1946), Professor Emeritus of University College Cork who has lived in County Cork, Ireland since 1980. His own heir apparent is his son Niall Edward Douglas (born 1978).
The family branch which built Dunino church and primary school still have exclusive right of burial in one half of the church graveyard, located just south of St Andrews and just north of Grangemuir. The family resumed its connection with the area in the 1990s and 2000s when two members attended the nearby St Andrews University. Records relating to the Grangemuir estates, along with a small number of other family papers, can be found in the Special Collections Archive of St Andrews University Library. They were rescued from an Edinburgh law firm in 1994 and subsequently donated to the University.
Economics
According to an article in the Dundee Courier, in 1818 Grangemuir (house and estate) was valued at around £40,000, which is equivalent to about £38 million today. The land boundary of this reference is unknown, but would be assumed to be the widest possible extent.
According to the Valuation Rolls, in 1855 Lord William Douglas owned 28 properties. A few years before he died in 1859, he built Dunino church and rebuilt the school into a much larger new building suitable for 90 children.
In 1872 when Walter Douglas assumed title, 44 properties were listed, with further properties inherited but left untitled (it cost money to register title, and inherited land was yours anyway). In addition to purchasing Eastern Grangemuir in 1873, he built many more properties on his land and in the 1895 roll, some 64 properties were listed not including properties inherited but untitled, most of which were earning rents from tenants. Grangemuir reported annual revenues to the Treasury of £5298 in 1880, which was equivalent to about £3,917,000 in 2016.
Financial problems appear to have begun to beset the family from around the Long Depression (1870s) onwards. Land area owned did not increase after 1873. Probate for Walter Douglas who died in 1901 valued his effects at £3,709 and real estate at £56,860, which is equivalent to about £2,224,000 and £34 million in 2016. However, he had a loan secured against the property for £32,013, so his total estate (in modern terms, in those days only rents from real estate counted towards probate) was £28,556, which is equivalent to £17 million in 2016.
The May 1920 auction mentioned earlier had upset prices for the fifteen lots total to £53,900 (around £11.9m today), but as mentioned earlier most of the lots could not sell at their reserve price, so this is surely an overestimate of their value at that time. Other land owners nearby experienced significant loss of value according to the Land and Property registry, with probates showing up to a two thirds loss of value between 1924 and 1945.
Reportedly, the eldest son and heir of Walter Douglas, William Keith Douglas-Irvine, required to have a trust set up to take care of him until the end of his life in 1957, and when his next eldest brother Henry Douglas took possession of that trust, only £20,000 remained (equivalent to about £1,303,000 in 2016).

Cebulak was born in Kraków, and started his career with Wisła Kraków, but his occupation as a professional soldier of the Polish Army forced him to change clubs on several occasions. He played for military clubs from Wilno and Grodno, eventually joining Legia Warsaw, where he played from 1927 until 1936. Then Cebulak moved to Warszawianka, where he ended his career in late 1938.
Playing for the Poland national team, Cebulak earned his first cap on 23 August 1931 against Romania. Altogether, he was capped five times for Poland, participating in the 1936 Olympic Games. He died in Warsaw.

17993149 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-style%20offense | Pro-style offense | A pro-style offense in American football is any offensive scheme that resembles those predominantly used at the professional level of play in the National Football League (NFL), in contrast to those typically used at the collegiate or high school level. Pro-style offenses are fairly common at top-quality colleges but much less used at the high school level. The term should not be confused with a pro set, which is a specific formation that is used by some offenses at the professional level.
Generally, pro-style offenses are more complex than typical college or high school offenses. They are balanced, requiring offensive lines that are adept at both pass and run blocking, quarterbacks (QBs) with good decision-making abilities, and running backs (RBs) who are capable of running between the tackles. Offenses that fall under the pro-style category include the West Coast offense, the Air Coryell offense, and the Erhardt-Perkins offensive system.
Often, pro style offenses use certain formations much more commonly than the air raid, run and shoot, flexbone, spread, pistol, or option offenses. Pro-style offenses typically use the fullback (FB) and TEs much more commonly than offenses used at the collegiate or high school levels.
Part of the complexity of the offense is that teams at the professional level often employ multiple formations and are willing to use them at any point during an actual game. One example might be that a team uses a Strong I formation run (FB lined up where the TE is located on the line of scrimmage) on 1st Down followed up by a running play out of the Ace formation on second down before attempting a pass on 3rd down out of a two-WR shotgun formation.
Another aspect of the complexity is that the running game is primarily built on zone blocking or involves a power run scheme. Both of these require an offensive line that is very athletic, one play they could be trying to zone block a Linebacker, and the following one could be power blocking a defensive line. Most of the blocking schemes involve a series of rules, or a system in which they operate their blocks. The passing game as a result often employs play-action, often with the QB dropping back from under center, as a means of passing the ball while building on the running game.
Coaches who make the transition from the NFL to the NCAA as head coaches often bring with them their pro-style offenses. Such examples include Charlie Weis (former HC at Kansas), Dave Wannstedt (former HC at Pittsburgh), Bill O'Brien (former HC at Penn State). One positive aspect of employing a pro-style offense is that it can help players make transitions from the college level to the professional level quicker as a result of their familiarity with the system's complexity.
Typical pro-style formations
Single set back formation: Is probably the most prominent Pro-Style offensive formation, often being referred to as an Ace formation. It typically involves 1 running back in the backfield with a Tight End lined up on the line of scrimmage with 3 receivers out wide. There are variations of the formation where a secondary Tight End or a flanked full back can replace one of the Receivers.
I formation: Another standard formation with 2 WRs on the outside and a RB lined up behind a FB and the QB who is under center. Tweaks including shifting the FB to the left or right side behind the guard.
Shotgun formation: One difference is that often the shotgun is used as a three-WR formation with a TE lined up inside to help block in pass protection. RBs can also line up next to the QB to help pick up blitzes.

17993201 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorianna%20Davenport | Glorianna Davenport | Glorianna Davenport is a New York-born media maker. A co-founder of the MIT Media Lab, Davenport directed the Interactive cinema research group from 1987–2004 and the Media Fabrics research group from 2004-2008. Davenport retired from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Summer of 2008. From 2008 to the present, she has managed the transition of Tidmarsh Farms, a former 610 acre cranberry farm in Plymouth Massachusetts, into conservation and wetland restoration. In 2011, Davenport founded Living Observatory, a non-profit, learning collaborative that focuses on documenting and sharing the long term story of wetland restoration of former cranberry farms. In this work, Davenport returned as a visiting scientist at the MIT Media Lab where she works closely with the Responsive Environments Group.
Biography
A graduate of Mount Holyoke College in 1966, Davenport made documentary films in New York and Maine before becoming a lecturer at M.I.T's Film Section directed by cinema verite pioneer Richard Leacock in 1977.
In 1985, Davenport along with Richard Leacock facilitated the transition of M.I.T.s Film/Video Section into the Weisner Building as part of the new MIT Media Lab. With the retirement of Leacock in 1987, Davenport joined the faculty and founded the Interactive cinema group. At the time she wrote: "Interactive cinema reflects the longing of cinema to become something new, something more complex, something more intimate, as if in conversation with an audience."
In these years before the web, the challenge was to envision a computational form that was scalable and that bound compelling content with human interaction. Davenport writes: "As cinema frees itself from the constraints of the inherently linear celluloid base, a new meta-cinema explodes the myth of the heroic by projecting itself into our everyday environments. The creation and sharing of cinema can happen anywhere, any time. As an improvisational learning partner, meta-cinema invites us to articulate new hypotheses, to sensorially augment our dialogs, to share multi-point of view stories, and to engage in sociable interchange between all people."
In 2008, Davenport retired from the MIT Media Lab in order to transition Tidmarsh Farms, a 610 acre cranberry farm into restoration and conservation. From 2010-2016, she collaborated with over 22 partners on the Tidmarsh Farms Restoration Project, the largest freshwater, wetland restoration in Massachusetts. In 2011, she founded Living Observatory, a non-profit learning collaborative of scientists, engineers, artists and restoration specialists; the mission of Living Observatory is to tell the long term story of the wetland restoration of cranberry farmland, to advance science and the enhance public understanding of fresh water wetlands.
Projects
In 1979-81, Davenport, working with cinematographer Richard Leacock, filmed and edited "Remembering Niels Bohr: 1885-1962".
In 1982-1987, Davenport produced, co-filmed, edited and designed an interactive delivery system for her documentary "New Orleans in Transition: 1983-1986". Conceived of as an in-depth cinematic case study of urban change before during and after the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, the interactive video disc version of the film as delivered on a Project Athena workstation in 1987 invited students to view the movie based on a particular story thread or character and allowed students to edit material from the film and place it into their written papers.
As her thinking about the form developed, Davenport designed "Workshop in Elastic Movie Time", a collaborative workshop in which students were asked to film a meaningful corpus of material and to develop interactive computational structure to present the content. Davenport taught the workshop for 10 years at the MIT Media Laboratory as well as in several international venues. In 1989, the class created "The Elastic Charles," an interactive portrait of the Charles River. The Elastic Charles combined historical, thematic, ecological and other perspectives on the Charles River. A time-lapse journey on the river provided one interactive structure. Using a hyper-link tool developed by Hans Peter Brondmo, viewers could define media segments and place them as video tags on the appropriate portion of time-lapse journey along the banks of the Charles.creating in effect a cinematic cut-away. One memorable video clip was an interview with Charlie, a worker at the Charles River Locks, who comments on the quality of the water at that time. The Elastic Charles was an early exploration of how video and computers together can create a new narrative and documentary medium.
In Wheel of Life, Davenport collaborated with Stanford Professor Larry Friedlander on a large-scale computer-enhanced theater space and narrative piece, which has become a model for augmented interactive spaces. This work was noteworthy for incorporating multiple users interacting simultaneously with a computer and with each other.
Most her most recent "Arc of Change" project, Davenport collaborates with scientists, engineers, artists and restoration practitioners, to bring the sights, sounds and environmental data from an evolving fresh water restoration to the public. Collaborators at the Responsive Environments Group include Brian Mayton, Gershon Dublon, Spencer Russell, Donald Haddad and Joe Paradiso.

17993274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estabrook%20Octagon%20House | Estabrook Octagon House | The Estabrook Octagon House, built in 1853 by Ezra Robinson Estabrook, is a historic octagonal house located at 8 River Street (NY 22) in Hoosick Falls, New York. It was constructed in strict accordance with the theories of Orson Squire Fowler, author of A Home for All.
It is preserved intact, and is one of the few remaining octagon houses that was built exactly as Fowler advocated. On February 8, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The house has been altered slightly, however. It was a pleasing feature of the house that the balustrade design, which appears on the roof of the house, had been repeated in different scales also on the roof of the porch and on the cupola.
Building
The house is on a two-acre (8,000 m2) lot at the corner of River Street and the tracks laid down by the Boston and Maine Railroad. The neighborhood is residential, with most other houses dating to the 19th century as well.
It is two stories high, faced in stucco over walls built of a mixture of grout and Rosendale cement. A small square porch projects from the east side. The facets have an alternating fenestration of one and two windows. The roofline is decorated with a dentiled bargeboard. Above it is an intricate wood crest, and behind it several small dormer windows with trim similar to the roofline. Two chimneys rise from the similarly trimmed cupola in the center of the hipped roof.
The interior plan has four large rooms on each level with the staircase around the central post. The smaller rooms serve support functions, such as bathrooms and closets.
History
Ezra Estabrook was inspired to build the house by Orson Squire Fowler's A Home for All, or a Cheap, Convenient and Superior Mode of Building, which came out in a revised edition in 1853. Fowler, a phrenologist who dabbled in architecture, was intrigued by polygonal forms found in nature and adapted for use by man. In his book he advocated the octagonal form since it could be built by the homeowner at a low cost.
Estabrook followed Fowler's advice and did most of the building work himself. He followed Fowler's plan exactly, including the cupola and alternating one-two fenestration. His only change was the material. Fowler had called for the wall to be made of a mixture of water, lime and an aggregate, since they were widely available around the country. The Estabrooks chose the Rosendale cement-grout mixture along with coarse local gravel since it was locally available and had proven more durable. Ezra Estabrook kept a diary during construction, in which he records pouring as much as one foot (25 cm) a day of the mixture between wooden forms.
His descendants lived in the house for almost a century, until 1943. There have been very few alterations to the interior. It is one of the few surviving octagon houses built as Fowler had originally intended.
Today the home has been converted from residential to the home of Marker's Octagon Realty, which caterers to the Hoosick Falls area.

17993284 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route%20899%20%28Israel%29 | Route 899 (Israel) | Route 899 is an east-west regional highway in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. For almost its entire length of , it proceeds parallel to the nearby border between Israel and Lebanon. In Israel, Route 899 is commonly known as the "northern route" (Hebrew: כביש הצפון, Kevish HaTzafon).
History
The road was paved in 1937 as part of the efforts to suppress the Arab revolt. After the road was paved, a fence was placed alongside it called the "northern fence" or "Tegart's wall," which was completed in July 1938. This fence continued south from the area of Metzudat Koach toward Lake Kinneret. On the side of the road were placed Tegart fortresses, which are now located in Ya'ara, Shomera, Sasa, Avivim and Metzudat Koach. Sixteen pillboxes were built alongside the road between the fortresses. Under the control of the British Mandate in Palestine, access to the road was not open, requiring special permission. The road began alongside the village Basa, what is now Betzet and the city Shlomi, and ended at the point next to Metzudat Koach, while it passed near the large Arab settlements. The road was paved several kilometres from the border with Lebanon. The northern fence was taken down in 1942, but the fortresses and pillboxes remained along the length of the road.
The Road Today
The present-day path of the road is primarily parallel to the old British Mandate road, but it differs in a number of locations. The road underwent many renovations and improvements. In several places on the route, signs point to the "old northern road" to sections of a few kilometres that pass just north of the present-day road and return to merge into the same one. The national transportation authority sometimes prepares new segments that pass along the backsides of the northern settlements, making the road more distant from the border between Israel and Lebanon. This enables access to the communities from the south, away from it and toward most of Israel's area.
The "northern route" is numbered 899 in the national highway numbering system. It begins in the west at Betzet junction, next to the Mediterranean shore between Rosh HaNikra and Akhziv, where it meets Highway 4. The road climbs via Shefa Valley and turns south to Even Menachem and Netu'a. It meets Highway 89 at Hiram junction near Sasa and afterward follows the path of Nahal Dishon. After Malkia, the road descends into Kadesh Valley and splits away from the international border with Lebanon. After Metzudat Koach, the road slopes precipitously downward toward the Hula Valley and ends at Ko'ah junction, where it meets Highway 90.

The bridge is also known as "Eagle Pass Bridge 1" and "Puente Piedras Negras-Eagle Pass". The road continues into Eagle Pass as U.S. Route 57, and into Piedras Negras as Mexican Federal Highway 57.
Description
The American side of the Eagle Pass–Piedras Negras International Bridge is currently owned by the Port of Eagle Pass, which also manages and maintains it. The bridge was originally constructed in 1927 and reconstructed in 1954, after the original bridge was destroyed by a flood; the bridge was reinforced in 1985. The bridge is two lanes wide and long.
Border crossing
The Eagle Pass Port of Entry was established around 1896. The first carriage bridge connecting Eagle Pass with Piedras Negras (then known as Ciudad Porfirio Díaz) was built in April 1890, but was destroyed in a flood in September 1890. The bridge was soon replaced by the Eagle Pass–Piedras Negras International Bridge, and was again rebuilt in 1927 and 1954.
The original port facility was rebuilt in 1927 and was replaced by the current facility in 1960.

Trumpan Church, which is now a ruin, was the focus of a particularly brutal incident in 1578, when the Clan MacDonald of Uist travelled to Trumpan in eight boats and, under cover of a thick mist, burnt alive all the worshipping church-goers, with only one member managing to escape. This led to instant retribution by Clan MacLeod, who killed all the invaders before they had time to flee the island. This skirmish is known as the Battle of the Spoiling Dyke.
Trumpan churchyard is the burial ground of Rachel Chiesley, Lady Grange, whose husband had her kidnapped and incarcerated on various Hebridean islands.

17993306 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogguere | Ogguere | Ogguere is a Cuban music group founded in 2001. Edrey Riveri (director,creator) and member of the group chose Ogguere, a Yoruba word that means "soul of the earth", as a symbolic name. Their song "Cha Cuba" was recorded in 2001.
History
Edrey and Ulises first met in the Santos Suárez neighbourhood of Havana, where Edrey lived (and still lives). Ulises grew up in El Cotorro, the site of the old Modelo Brewery.
In 1996 Edrey and Ulises started working with Pablo Herrera, Cuba's premier rap producer, who also happened to live in Santos Suarez, on Calle Zapote. Deciding to disregard the lucrative reggaeton niche, Edrey’s idea was to use all the Cuban rhythms and create a fusion of Mambo, Son, Chachacha and mix them with funkier sounds, like the rumba.
"Cha Cuba" was recorded in 2001 with Orquesta Aragón, a traditional famous charanga band.
Ogguere was fast on the way to success and recognition when they recorded the track "Como Esta El Yogourt" (How's the yogourt?), which video clip was directed by prominent Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea.
They recorded their first album, Llena de Amor El Mambo, which features contributions from legendary Cuban musicians such as Mayra Caridad Valdés, Aideè Milanés, Roberto Hernandez aka Robertòn(from Orquesta Los Van Van), Yulien Oviedo, Diana Fuentes, Oscar Valdèz, etc. This record got the recognition from Cuban Award Academy “Cubadisco” in 2008, winning Rap-Fusion album of the year.

17993324 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael%20Hashim | Michael Hashim | Michael James Hashim (April 9, 1956, Geneva, New York) is an American jazz alto and soprano saxophonist.
Hashim began playing saxophone while in elementary school, playing with Phil Flanigan and Chris Flory as a high schooler. He worked with both into the middle 1970s, and in 1976 he toured with Muddy Waters and played with the Widespread Depression Orchestra, which we would later lead. He also formed his own quartet in 1979, which has included Dennis Irwin, Kenny Washington, and Mike LeDonne as sidemen. In 1980 he toured with Clarence Gatemouth Brown.
Hashim played in New York City in the early 1980s with Roy Eldridge, Jo Jones, Brooks Kerr, Sonny Greer, and Jimmie Rowles. From 1987 he worked often with Judy Carmichael. He toured China in 1992, and was one of the first jazz musicians ever to do so. He worked with Flory through the 1990s, and toured North America and Europe regularly. In 1990 with his quartet he recorded Lotus Blossom, an album of Billy Strayhorn songs. In 1998 expanded this ensemble into 11 members as the Billy Strayhorn Orchestra.
Since 1999 he has been a member of the Raymond Scott Orchestrette. He has also been a mainstay in the George Gee Orchestra.
In addition to his recording dates as a leader, he has performed on over 100 sessions as a sideman.
Since 2007, he has performed with The Microscopic Septet.

Discovery
Iron(III) chromate was discovered by Samuel Hibbert-Ware in 1817 while visiting Shetland.
Production
It may be formed by the salt metathesis reaction of potassium chromate and iron(III) nitrate, which gives potassium nitrate as byproduct.
2 Fe(NO3)3 + 3 K2CrO4 → Fe2(CrO4)3 + 6 KNO3
It also can be formed by the oxidation by air of iron and chromium oxides in a basic environment:
4 Fe2O3 + 6 Cr2O3 + 9 O2 → 4 Fe2(CrO4)3

17993382 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fax%C3%A9n%27s%20law | Faxén's law | In fluid dynamics, Faxén's laws relate a sphere's velocity and angular velocity to the forces, torque, stresslet and flow it experiences under low Reynolds number (creeping flow) conditions.
First law
Faxen's first law was introduced in 1922 by Swedish physicist Hilding Faxén, who at the time was active at Uppsala University, and is given by
where
is the force exerted by the fluid on the sphere
is the Newtonian viscosity of the solvent in which the sphere is placed
is the sphere's radius
is the (translational) velocity of the sphere
is the disturbance velocity caused by the other spheres in suspension (not by the background impressed flow), evaluated at the sphere centre
is the background impressed flow, evaluated at the sphere centre (set to zero in some references).
It can also be written in the form
where is the hydrodynamic mobility.
In the case that the pressure gradient is small compared with the length scale of the sphere's diameter, and when there is no external force, the last two terms of this form may be neglected. In this case the external fluid flow simply advects the sphere.
Second law
Faxen's second law is given by
where
is the torque exerted by the fluid on the sphere
is the angular velocity of the sphere
is the angular velocity of the background flow, evaluated at the sphere centre (set to zero in some references).
'Third law'
Batchelor and Green derived an equation for the stresslet, given by
where
is the stresslet (symmetric part of the first moment of force) exerted by the fluid on the sphere,
is the velocity gradient tensor; represents transpose; and so is the rate of strain, or deformation, tensor.
is the rate of strain of the background flow, evaluated at the sphere centre (set to zero in some references).
Note there is no rate of strain on the sphere (no ) since the spheres are assumed to be rigid.
Faxén's law is a correction to Stokes' law for the friction on spherical objects in a viscous fluid, valid where the object moves close to a wall of the container.

17993394 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar%20Yohai | Bar Yohai | Bar Yohai () is a religious Jewish community settlement in northern Israel. Located near Mount Meron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merom HaGalil Regional Council. as of its population was .
History
Bar Yohai was founded in 1977 as a settlement for immigrants from the Soviet Union. However, the immigrants were not interested in living such a distance from a city nor in such austere conditions (each side of a duplex was less than 60 square meters). Jewish Agency officials then offered the failing settlement to Religious Zionist families and members of nearby moshavim. This move was successful and Bar Yohai grew to over 100 families, including a small group of Canadian immigrants.
The village is situated on the land of the depopulated Arab village of Safsaf, whose villagers fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war.
The community is named after rabbi Simeon bar Yochai who according to Jewish tradition was buried on Mount Meron nearby.

In the 2006–09 season he led FC Baník Ostrava. He was very popular and known for his bet with fans of FC Baník Ostrava. Fans said that if Baník ends in a third position in season 2007–08, allowing them to play UEFA Cup, and if he will shave his moustache, they will buy him 1922 bars of chocolate, as the football club was founded in 1922. Fans can saw him without his moustache, which he had for 34 years, as Baník ended in a third position that year.
As active player, Večeřa played for several clubs, including FC Zbrojovka Brno and VP Frýdek-Místek. As a manager, he coached among others FK Drnovice, 1. FC Brno and FC Vysočina Jihlava.

17993410 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%20eye%20glasses | Cat eye glasses | Cat eye glasses (sometimes called "cat eyes" or "cat glasses") are a shape of eyewear. The form is closely related to the browline style, differentiated by having an upsweep at the outer edges where the temples or arms join the frame front. Cat-eye glasses were popular in the 1950s and 1960s among women and are often associated with the beehive hairstyle and other looks of the period. They preceded the large bug-eye glasses of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
History
An early precursor of the cat-eye eyeglass shape was American Optical's Ful-Vue product, from 1931, in which the hinges were placed on the upper portion of the eyeglass frame to reveal the wearer's eye from the sides. Window-dresser Altina Schinasi later designed what she called the Harlequin frame, named for the mask of the Harlequin character from Italian commedia dell'arte, then popular in fashion and design. Schinasi collaborated with popular boutique Lugene to manufacture them. One of the first pairs was bought by Vogue and Vanity Fair writer and socialite Clare Boothe Luce, raising the profile of the new style further. Fashion designer Claire McCardell and American Optical released their own version of the style in 1952, the first eyewear line by a fashion designer.
The style was popularized in the next two decades by celebrities and actresses such as Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve, and Audrey Hepburn. Other notable wearers of cat-eye eyeglasses include Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage, Jane Jacobs, Amy Lamé, Lisa Loeb, Dinah Manoff, Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley Chisholm, Mary Whitehouse, Allison Wolfe and Barbara Windsor.
The cat-eye shape fell out of fashion after the 1960s but was revived through 1990s fashion, and was popularized again in the late 2010s, in part by models and influencers such as Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner.

17993430 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack%20Bowers | Jack Bowers | John William Anslow Bowers (22 February 1908 – 4 July 1970) was an English footballer, who was twice the top scorer in the Football League and made three appearances for England.
Playing career
Early days
Bowers was born in Low Santon, near Scunthorpe and, after playing for Scunthorpe works side Appleby Works, started his professional career with Scunthorpe & Lindsey United in December 1927. Five months later, he was transferred to Derby County, where he was to remain until 1936.
Derby County
He was signed for Derby County by manager George Jobey on 5 May 1928, on the same day as future England international Jack Barker. He made his debut in a 2–1 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Baseball Ground on 2 February 1929 and celebrated his first appearance by scoring.
It was not until the 1930–31 season that Bowers was to become a regular selection at centre forward after the transfer of Harry Bedford to Newcastle United. His first match in this season came against Arsenal, which launched Bowers on the way to breaking the club's goal-scoring record. Having sat out the first nine matches of the season, Bowers scored 37 goals in the remaining 33 matches, including four in one game against Chelsea when the Rams beat the Londoners 6–2. He scored 15 goals in a run of six consecutive matches in January and February 1931. This magnificent spell of goal-scoring was the main reason why Derby reached sixth place and, for most of the season, were sitting on the edge of the leading pack. Bowers holds Derby County's record for the number of League goals in a season (37), although this was equalled by Ray Straw in the Third Division North campaign of 1956–57.
The following season, he was again Derby's top-scorer despite only scoring 25 goals, but improved on this in 1932–33 with 35 league goals, thus making him the top scorer in the Football League First Division as Derby finished in seventh place in the table. Bowers also contributed eight goals in the FA Cup as Derby reached the semi-finals where they lost to Manchester City. This was the only round in the cup run in which Bowers failed to score, as he finished the season with a total of 43 goals from 47 matches. This remains Derby's goal-scoring record.
His form continued into the next season, when he was again top scorer in the top flight with 34 league goals, plus three in the cup, with Derby reaching fourth place in the table. In the first six games of the season, he became the only Derby player to twice score in six successive matches; this run included two hat-tricks.
His form for Derby brought him to the notice of the England selectors and he was given his first international cap in the 1934 British Home Championship against Ireland played at Windsor Park, Belfast on 14 October 1933. Bowers scored England's third goal in the 60th minute in a 3–0 victory. He retained his place for the next match against Wales on 15 November, but failed to score as England went down 2–1. As this victory enabled Wales to claim the British Home Championship title, Bowers's next match against Scotland was to have no bearing on the destiny of the title. Bowers scored in the 85th minute as England defeated the Scots 3–0. Bower also made two appearances for the Football League representative team.
In September 1934, a serious knee injury sustained in a match against Spurs curtailed his Derby career and he lost his place to Hughie Gallacher. His recovery was slow, although in 1935–36 his 30 goals for the Reserves helped Derby to the Central League championship. He returned to the side for the start of the 1936–37 season; on 5 September 1936, Derby were losing 4–1 at home to Manchester United, when Bowers struck with four goals in an amazing 15-minute spell (between the 64th and 79th minute) to give his side a spectacular 5–4 victory.
By now he was no longer first choice and in November 1936 he moved to Leicester City for a fee of £6,000. In his eight years with Derby, he made 220 appearances, scoring 183 goals. Only Steve Bloomer and Kevin Hector have scored more goals for Derby.
Leicester City
Bowers joined Leicester City in November 1936, who had been relegated to the Football League Second Division in 1935. His arrival at Filbert Street galvanised Leicester's push for promotion and his 33 league goals from only 27 games helped them claim the Second Division title, just ahead of Blackpool, and also made him top scorer in the division.
Back in the First Division, Bowers was now finding goal-scoring more difficult and he was sharing the goal-scoring responsibilities with Danny Liddle and George Dewis. The advent of World War II interrupted his career and he retired in August 1943. In his three League seasons, he scored 52 goals in 79 appearances, plus four goals in five FA Cup appearances.
Later career
In August 1943, Bowers was appointed coach to Notts County, working with the youth team. After two years, he returned to Derby County as assistant trainer, a position he held for over twenty years.
He and his wife lived on Pear Tree Road (No. 59), not far from the Baseball Ground, where they kept a shop.
He died on 4 July 1970 in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Family
His son John Bowers, Jr. played for Derby County between 1957 and 1966, making 65 League appearances in that time.
Bowers is the first cousin twice removed of Keith Lindsey and Barry Lindsey, two other Scunthorpe players. The Lindseys are connected through their maternal grandmother's line.
