The Reform of the House of Commons Committee (known informally as the Wright Committee after its Chair, Tony Wright) was a Select committee of the UK Parliament. It was established in 2009 to improve the procedures and relevance of Parliament. It reported on 12 November 2009 and made a number of recommendations, in a document entitled 'Rebuilding the House'. |
27329577_0_1 | 27329577 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright%20Committee | Wright Committee | Wright Committee. These included
Reduction in the number of committees and in the size of a standard departmental committee, possibly to eleven members
Chairs of departmental and similar select committees should be directly elected by secret ballot of the House using the alternative vote
Members of departmental and similar committees should be elected from within party groups by secret ballot
Backbench business should be scheduled by the House rather than by Ministers
The House should decide its sitting pattern for itself
An effective e-petitions system should be introduced, including the possibility that members of the public might be able to compel an issue to be debated in the House
One backbench motion per month should be routinely scheduled for debate |
27329577_0_2 | 27329577 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright%20Committee | Wright Committee | Wright Committee.
The general theme is that the House should have much more scope to choose and schedule its own activities. In May 2010, the incoming coalition Conservative and Liberal Democrat government agreed to bring forward the Wright Committee's recommendations in full. |

William Garner (born 24 July 1955) is a Scottish former footballer best known for playing for Aberdeen. He is now a manager, mainly of clubs in the junior ranks of Scottish football. |
27329664_0_1 | 27329664 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie%20Garner | Willie Garner | Willie Garner. Career
Garner was born in Stirling and raised in Denny; he was a Celtic supporter in childhood. He signed for Aberdeen from Campsie Black Watch in 1975, and was part of the team which won the Scottish League Cup in 1976 and the Scottish Premier Division in 1980, although a broken leg suffered in 1978 had allowed teenager Alex McLeish the opportunity to take the starting place. Garner left Aberdeen in 1981 to join Celtic, but the move was a disappointment for all concerned: he only played two first team games, scored two own goals on his debut and fell behind the emerging David Moyes in the backup list. |
27329664_0_2 | 27329664 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie%20Garner | Willie Garner | Willie Garner.
He joined Alloa Athletic in 1982 as player-manager aged 27, before returning to Aberdeen in February 1984 to become assistant manager to Alex Ferguson. After two years as Ferguson's number two, during which the club won five major honours, he played for a number of Highland League and Junior clubs before signing for Berwick Rangers, where he remained for two years before retiring in 1992. |
27329664_0_3 | 27329664 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie%20Garner | Willie Garner | Willie Garner.
Garner was manager of Scottish Junior Football Association, East Region side Ballingry Rovers between October and November 2014, when they folded after 62 years in existence. |

27329692_0_0 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small.
Edward Francis Small (29 January 1891 – January 1958) was a Gambian statesman who has been described as the "trailblazer of Gambian political consciousness." One of the few educated Africans in the Gambia Colony and Protectorate during the early 20th century, Small founded the country's first trade union (Bathurst Trade Union), the country's first political party (Rate Payers' Association), and was the first citizen elected to its legislature. He was also a delegate to and leader of the National Congress of British West Africa (NCBWA). |
27329692_0_1 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Early life and education
Small was born in Bathurst in 1891, the son of John W. Small and Elizabeth Thomas. Thomas, a Sierra Leonean immigrant, was of the Aku people, as was John. At the time of Small's birth, Africa had already been partitioned by the 1884 Berlin Conference. Small was initially educated in The Gambia, but due to the lack of a high school, had to relocate to Freetown, Sierra Leone, for his secondary education. He attended the Methodist Boys' High School in Freetown and in 1910 began teaching at a school there, moving back to Bathurst in 1915 to continue working as a teacher. |
27329692_0_2 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Missionary work
Small joined the Wesleyan Methodist Mission in Bathurst. He earned the respect of the Mission people and was sent to open a mission in Balanghar, then a thriving trading town and holiday resort. He spent 18 months there before being sent to Sukuta following a physical confrontation with a white trader over bell ringing. The Divisional Commissioner sided with the white trader in the dispute, resulting in Small's removal to Sukuta. The incident has since been described as an "imperialist maneuver [in] getting rid of an unwanted person". |
27329692_1_0 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Nationalism and pan-Africanism
Small aimed to empower the ordinary people of Gambia, especially farmers and workers. As one of the few educated Africans in the territory, he aimed to empower them with knowledge and information. He organised evening classes for village people, and founded the first nationalist newspaper in the country. He used this to reach his followers even when in exile in Senegal. He founded the Gambia Native Defense Union (GNDU) alongside other Akus. He also founded The Gambia Farmer's Cooperative Association in 1917, and the Bathurst Trade Union in 1929. He attended a conference in Accra, the Gold Coast, in 1920, delivering a speech on the right of West Africans to self-rule. The result of the conference was the formation of the National Congress of British West Africa, and Small set up the Gambian branch on his return. |
27329692_1_1 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Nationalism and pan-Africanism
In 1922 Small founded a newspaper, the Gambia Outlook and Senegambian Reporter, which was published for the first time in Dakar (Senegal) in May of that year. It was one of the earlier newspapers with a Pan-African/Senegambian philosophy. In 1929 his trade union organised the country's first strike. His slogan for much of his campaigning was "no taxation without representation". In the 1930s Small founded in the Rate Payers' Association (RPA), which was effectively the country's first political party and dominated local politics in Bathurst. The RPA won all six seats on the municipal council open to African candidates in the 1936 elections. |
27329692_1_2 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Nationalism and pan-Africanism
Small also created a political network during his visit to the French West Africa (AOF). In June 1931, Small took his mission to Dakar accompanied by his secretary Boubakar Secka. Senegal at the time, had a growing interest in communism and pan-Africanism. On his visit, Small met several Senegalese activists with communist, anti-colonial and pan-African ideologies. The room he rented on Rue Félix Faure became a meeting place where Small would discuss his political ideologies. Some of Small's AOF acquaintances included Ernest Cherry, an individual involved in the League for the Defence of the Negro Race (LDNR), with ties to the French League against Colonial Oppression; Fofana Coulibaly, a former teacher from French Guinea with extremist ideology and anti-French sentiments; and Raphael Mensah, a man "on a list of individuals suspected of being sympathizers of the revolutionary movement." Small also had links with English-speaking blacks including William Winston, one of the people involved in the Garveyist incidents of 1922. |
27329692_1_3 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Nationalism and pan-Africanism
Small was appointed to the Legislative Council on 31 December 1941 representing Bathurst Municipal Council. In 1947 the first direct elections were held for a seat on the Legislative Council. Backed by his trade union, Small was victorious, defeating I. M. Garba Jahumpa and Sheikh Omar Faye. He was subsequently appointed to the Executive Council on 11 December 1947, and was later reappointed to the council on 18 January and 12 June 1951. He continued to be involved in Gambian politics until his death in January 1958. |
27329692_2_0 | 27329692 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%20Francis%20Small | Edward Francis Small | Edward Francis Small. Legacy
Small's trade unionism inspired Alieu Ebrima Cham Joof, who went on to organise and lead the Bread and Butter Demonstration of 1959 that paved the way for Gambian independence. |

The Progress Party () was a short-lived Norwegian political party. The party was registered on 17 July 1957 and was headed by Jan Palmer Tiseth from Svorkmo. It ran for election in the county of Sør-Trøndelag in 1957, where it achieved 0.1% of the vote. The party received the fewest votes during the election and was not represented in the Norwegian Parliament. As late as in 1965, the party was still reported to be a registered political party in Norway, but it did not run for any elections since 1957. |
27329739_0_0 | 27329739 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River%20Gwenfro | River Gwenfro | River Gwenfro.
The River Gwenfro () is a small river in Wrexham County Borough, north Wales. It is a tributary of the Clywedog. The name Gwenfro is possibly derived from the Welsh language words gwen (feminine of gwyn), "white", and bro, "border", "boundary". (However bro here means "vale", and gwen is likely to mean "holy", thus "holy vale".) |
27329739_0_1 | 27329739 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River%20Gwenfro | River Gwenfro | River Gwenfro.
The river rises at a number of small springs south and east of the village of Bwlchgwyn, including a place called Ffynnon y Ceirw ("spring of the stags"). It flows eastwards for several miles through a rather deep valley, and is joined by several other streams; it then passes through Wrexham town centre, where it is largely culverted, and joins the Clywedog at King's Mills. |

The Gwenfro was an important water source for Wrexham industry and has had pollution issues. Although still periodically affected – an incident in 2006 led to a fine for Welsh Water – fish including brown trout and roach are now present. |

In May 2010, a video of a teacher attacking a student was released to the public. The video, captured on April 29, 2010 shows the teacher dragging a 13-year-old male student across the floor before hitting the student. The teacher in the video, Sheri Lynn Davis (who did not have a teaching certificate), was fired and arrested. Gabriel Hahn Moseley, another teacher who witnessed the event but did not intervene, was also fired. The mother of the child filed a lawsuit against the teacher. The Texas Education Agency sent investigators to the school to conduct an investigation. The superintendent and the principal of the school, Ollie Hilliard and David Jones, were charged with failure to report child abuse, a misdemeanor. Davis was charged with felony injury, and Moseley was given misdemeanor charges. Davis pleaded "no contest." She received a five-year probation sentence and an order that she cannot work at a school during her probationary period. In June 2011, Jones and Hilliard were acquitted of the charges against them. |

United States v. The Heirs of Francisco De Haro, 63 U.S. (22 How.) 293 (1860), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a plat made in 1853 of land adjudged to be covered by a Mexican grant, and confirmed in 1862, is sustained as the correct designation of the property covered by the grant. |

In 1843 Francisco De Haro obtained an affirmation of a Mexican land grant from the then Governor of California. The De Haro's maintained possession of that land continuously since that time. At his death, the United States land commissioners found against the heirs who sought to confirm their title to the land. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California reversed that judgment and confirmed the title. The United States appealed and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. |

Affirmed. Justice John McLean delivered the opinion of the court. McLean stated that the lower court had found that the date on the affirmation of the grant had been altered, and thus could not be used against the heirs. In addition, the decedent and his heirs had maintained possession of the land for 16 years and had made improvements. The heirs' title of the land was confirmed. |

Originally, the land the Art of Animation Resort occupies was planned to be part of Disney's Pop Century Resort as part of the "Legendary Years" section. Several buildings were constructed for these plans, some even to the point of adding decorative details. While one-half of Pop Century (the "Classic Years") opened in 2003, the other half was left abandoned following the tourism halt after the September 11 attacks on the United States. It was also home to the Epcot Center Ultralight Flightpark, a small airport owned by Disney. |

Disney started to prepare the land for the resort in January 2010, and construction began in the summer of that year. At the time of this announcement on May 12, 2010, Disney did not say how much construction is expecting to cost, but it was mentioned that approximately 800 jobs would be produced. |

When the "Legendary Years" buildings were first being made, a bridge originally named the Generation Gap Bridge was constructed to connect both parts of Pop Century and made them accessible to each other. The bridge, today unnamed, connects Pop Century to the Finding Nemo section of the Art of Animation Resort. This bridge contains a terminal for the Disney Skyliner aerial gondola system. |

The resort is designed "with families in mind." It features four of Disney's popular character themes: Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. Much like the other Disney Value Resorts, giant versions of various items are built around the hotel on each of the ten wings, such as a model of King Triton. In total, there are 1,984 rooms, of which 1,120 are family suites capable of housing up to six people, featuring living rooms and bedrooms. The remaining 864 sport the standard value layout. The resort has a total of ten buildings, as well as three themed pools. "The Big Blue Pool" is the largest hotel pool in all of Walt Disney World Resort.
Finding Nemo: The Finding Nemo section of the resort is themed with the ocean setting featured in the film, with underwater plant and animal decorations throughout the buildings. This is the first area of the resort, which opened on May 31, 2012.
Cars: The Cars section of the resort is themed like the Cozy Cone Motel that was featured in the film. Resort buildings are themed with the movie's characters, including Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, and Luigi and Guido. The second section of the resort opened on June 18, 2012.
The Lion King: The Lion King section of the resort features a "natural" setting, such as that found in the wild. The third section of the resort opened its doors on August 10, 2012.
The Little Mermaid: The Little Mermaid section of the resort is themed with 600 cutout objects on resort balconies. "Under the Sea" decorations are incorporated throughout the section. This section of the resort has exterior walkways, where the other sections have enclosed interior walkways between the rooms. (This section uses two buildings that were originally built for Pop Century's "Legendary Years" section before construction halted, which left them unfinished for years.) It opened on September 15, 2012, as the fourth and final section of the resort. |

Moors for the Future is a partnership of public and private organisation to protect and promote moorland in the United Kingdom. Based in Edale in the Peak District National Park, much of the work carried out by Moors for the Future is in the National Park. The organisation works to promote the moors to the public for recreational use, as well as to raise important issues (such as ground nesting bird disturbance and moorland fires) that are associated with recreational use of the moors. |

There is a team of researchers who look at the science of moorland restoration and its benefits. For example, peat is a huge store of carbon, so, if the moors degrade, the carbon could be released into the atmosphere. They also look at the effect climate change will have, and how much extra carbon can be locked up by a healthy growing peat bog. |

The Taro Revolt (), or the Taro Mutiny (), is the name given to the 17th-century peasant conflicts that occurred on the island of São Jorge—particularly the municipality of Calheta, in the parishes of Ribeira Seca and Norte Pequeno—in protest to the annual payment of tithes for the production of taro, a green-stalk plant whose root was used as a food source throughout the Azores. |
27329963_1_0 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. History
The taro (Colocasia esculenta), referred to in the Azores as inhames or coco in Portuguese, is cultivated in many islands of the archipelago. It was first introduced onto the island of São Jorge during the 17th century, probably from southeast Asia, and became popular with the peasant class. Given its nutritional importance, taro was planted in peasant gardens to stave off food crises and famine; in periods when crops failed, the taro was used to supplant local sources of protein. |
27329963_1_1 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. History
On the eastern coast, which is characterised by the plain of Serra do Topo (800 m above sea level) and almost constantly covered in thick fog, made it difficult to cultivate cereal crops. This was usually confined to a narrow platform that circuited the village of Topo and the lower portion of Santo Antão. These were ideal conditions, with their ravines and rugged valleys, that allowed the cultivation of taro, which assumed a dominant part of the local agriculture and economy. The taro was usually cultivated along the margins of the fields that were seeded with cereal crops and provided a guaranteed source of proteins for local settlers, until the potato was introduced later in the century. The plant occupied areas with abundant sources of water and could tolerate areas of shade, and were therefore ideal in the fajãs, ravines and valleys, taking advantage of access to water and waterfalls. On São Jorge, in particular, the coastal debris fields (the fajãs) were ideal along the southern coast of the island. Today, there still exist some plants in these zones and especially in those areas that have since been abandoned by human settlement, but yet wild plants have survived. |
27329963_1_2 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. History
Culturally, some locals would refer to residents near taro fields as inhameiros ("taro-fielders"), the leaves of the taro figure prominently on the coat-of-arms of the municipality of Calheta and the heraldry of the civil parish of Ribeira Seca, the locality at the center of the leader of the Taro Revolt. |
27329963_1_3 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Increased taxation
The costs associated with the Portuguese Restoration War could not be eliminated through the increase in standard taxation, which was primarily centered on products of greater value, such as cereals or meats. Therefore, the crown looked to other mechanisms to generate new financial income and expanded the number of products that were taxable, in order to expand this revenue stream. |
27329963_1_4 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. History
The new tax, the dízimo das miunças e ervagens ("Tithe on Miunças and Greens"), was such a new tax: it imposed a tax on one-tenth of all green plants, including those for animal consumption (as well as the cattle) and other smaller agricultural products. The tax, which lasted until the establishment of the Liberal Constitution of 1822, was the norm, and established payment to the Royal coffers in taro, which would be sold by administers to fill the public finances. The payment was generally repudiated by all, but in general by commercial traders and capitalists from Lisbon, who extorted payment from their clients. This discontent extend to many of the peasant class, who had hopes that the Restoration would bring prosperity, but were excluded from lands by aristocratic fiefdoms of Lisbon nobility. In some parishes, what few lands were available were those in ravines and cliffs, where the taro could be cultivated. This discontentment increased in the latter half of the 17th century, creating the conditions for conflict that only required a match. |

Considered food of the peasants, it was never subject to a tithe, until the population of the municipalities of Calheta and Topo were informed that they were to begin paying the tax on the root-vegetable. Many did not pay, and the situation began to fester. In 1692, Francisco Lopes Beirão set the tithe for three years to 415$000 Portuguese real, and instructed his agents to "squeeze" peasants for the payment, as well as the costs associated with the transport of the tuber from field to the collection site. |
27329963_1_6 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. History
This final insult (transport) inflamed the farmers: the transport of taro, from the fajãs to settlements, required the scaling of 500-600 meter vertical cliffs, along trails that were better suited to goats then humans. Further, other taxes were payable at the location of the farmer: the wheat tithe at the threshing floor, the corn tithe at each parcel of land, and the viticulture tithe at the pressing stone. This stipulation obligated the farmers to transport sacks of taro on their backs (which was common for the poor) from the fajãs where the root was harvested, to the settlements on the São Jorge plateau. |
27329963_2_0 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Revolt of July 1694
In this context, in an indignant environment, on July 21, 1694, Amaro Soares de Sousa, Sergeant-major of the municipality of Velas, appeared at the town council of Calheta, requesting more than 150 residents from the municipality of Calheta, for their failure to pay the tithe for 1692, 1693 and 1694. In November, residents in the community of Ribeira da Areia in the civil parish of Norte Grande, Velas (which also pertained to the neighboring municipality of Calheta) appeared at the town council in Calheta. These inhabitants protested to the council officials that they were being intimidated, while others were arrested, by men sent by the sheriff of Velas. This was considered an intolerable interference in the municipal independence of Calheta: the magistrate and Captain-major in Calheta immediately ordered a squadron of soldiers to expel the invaders. |
27329963_2_1 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Revolt of July 1694
By the time the contingent had arrived from Calheta, Father Manuel Luís Maldonado, writing in the newspaper Fenix Angrence noted,
''"I passed the sheriff with forty men for the church square of Calheta, as they were arresting a few of the responsible a group, when barbarous and disorderly people rose-up, and it was necessary that they retreated to the Church of Nossa Senhora das Neves...as they [the mob] circled, they clambered that they should set a fire and breakdown the doors with machetes...the vicar attempted to calm them, but was only successful when first the prisoners were released...they formed two companies, under two captains, exclaiming that they should not pay the tithe without His Majesty ordering them by special mandate." |

Father João de Sousa Pacheco, then vicar of Norte Grande, ran to the Church and was able to calm the population, and burned the list of all those who were intimidated in public. With this act, the authorities from Velas were ordered to return to their home, and subject was supposedly closed. |
27329963_2_3 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Judicial Intervention
For many Jorgense, they believed that their actions would not have any consequences, and that they were victory had stopped the imposition of the tax. In truth, Francisco Lopes Beirão was informed of the actions taken against his agents, and appealed to the King. In a letter dated June 16, 1695, the King sent magistrate João de Soveral e Barbuda to the island of São Jorge in order to apprehend and sentence the responsible parties. |
27329963_2_4 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Revolt of July 1694
Barbuda left in August 1695, and established his residence on the island of Faial and began his investigations. Owing to Jorgense resistance, in the spring of 1696 he solicited from military governor at the Castle of São João Baptista on Monte Brasil, in the city of Angra, troops to put-down the rebellion. The governor sent 50 soldiers from Terceira, and placed them in the hands of the magistrate. |
27329963_2_5 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Revolt of July 1694
Accompanied by this military force, Barbuda began in Velas (on June 22, 1696) a campaign of summary arrests and interrogations, establishing a rigorous prosecution and review of the events. Among those questioned were the Sheriff and Sergeant-major of Velas, as well as the Captain-major, councilmen and judges of Calheta. The inquiry determined that the rebels, in addition to the authorities in Calheta (who had defended their revolt) were culpable. Considered the leader of the revolt, Gonçalo Pereira Machado, the respected Captain-major of Calheta and resident of Ribeira Seca was convicted and sentenced to the Limoeiro prison in Lisbon. The judges and councilmen of Calheta were also blamed for the defiance, although many escaped the sentence of the courts. As a general blanket coverage, the magistrate also considered the residents of the villa of Topo (which then included the parish of Santo Antão), the villagers of Calheta and those northern parishes (Norte Grande and Norte Pequeno) involved in the riot duplicitous in the events that occurred. |
27329963_2_6 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Consequences
Although some escaped, their property and the possessions of the convicted were seized to pay the tithe, as well as the expenses of the soldiers, the magistrate, judges, as well as the transport and lodging of the latter servants of the Crown. Consequently, many of the responsible parties were ruined: they were required to sell all their possessions in order to pay compensation, and those who failed were imprisoned in the Castle of São João Baptista, the prison in Angra or the jail in Horta, where many of them were to die of disease, famine or despair. |
27329963_2_7 | 27329963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro%20Revolt | Taro Revolt | Taro Revolt. Revolt of July 1694
As a consequence of the Taro Revolt, relations between the Jorgense municipalities became tense while inter-island relationships expanded: Calheta and Topo were polarized towards Angra, while Velas became a satellite of the city of Horta. Those residents who were impoverished by the taxation, were profoundly affected by successive crop failures and famines that occurred on the island, and many were forced to emigrate to Brazil or the United States. |
