Rum-running in Windsor, Ontario
|
thumb|The many islands of the Detroit River made smuggling between Windsor and Detroit difficult to detect during Prohibition.
In 1916, the State of Michigan, in the United States, banned the sale of alcohol, three years before prohibition became the national law in 1919. From that point forward, the City of Windsor, Ontario was a major site for Rum-running—alcohol smuggling—and gang activity.
The Canadian federal government regulated the manufacturing, importation, and exportation of alcoholic beverages in all the provinces. When the Wartime Prohibition Act, which prohibited the manufacturing, sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverages expired on January 1, 1920, new legislation authorized each province to decide whether to continue the enforced bans on alcohol. Like most provinces in Canada, Ontario chose to continue to ban the production and sale of alcohol. This decision led to an upswing in organized crime activity along the Detroit-Windsor borders.
The Eighteenth Amendment, Volstead Act and near beer
On January 16, 1919, the American Government passed the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It had three sections:
Congressman Andrew John Volstead was one of the main promoters of the Eighteenth Amendment. The Volstead Act of 1920 defined intoxicating liquor as any liquor containing more than 0.5% alcohol. It permitted the manufacture of non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices for home use, as well as permitting households to ferment wine for private consumption; and it allowed the sale of alcoholic beverages for medicinal, sacramental, and industrial purposes. The Volstead Act allowed breweries to produce "near beer" with an alcohol content of up to 0.5%. To make the near beer, distilleries produced beer and then let it sit to allow most of its alcoholic content to evaporate. This allowed breweries to produce virtually unlimited amounts of beer. Even though Ontario had their own prohibition, called the Ontario Temperance Act, which lasted from 1916 through 1927, it was still legal to manufacture and export alcohol. This loophole led to a great deal of alcohol smuggling via the Detroit River between Windsor and Detroit, the largest U.S. city on the Canada–U.S. border.
"Joe sent me"
thumb|Detroit police inspecting equipment found in a clandestine underground brewery during the Prohibition eraThe popular saying, "Joe sent me", was used to gain entry to speakeasies, blind pigs, clubs or joints. By 1928, there were from 16,000 to 25,000 speakeasies and clubs in the Windsor-Detroit area, located in slums as well as in some of Detroit's most prestigious neighborhoods. Popular drinks of the time varied depending on the club, distinguishing one club from another. Criminal gangs either owned the clubs or protected from police and other gangs.
Some clubs and speakeasies offered food, at times for free with the purchase of a beverage to encourage customers during prohibition. Police were often bribed to protect against raids, however, they would intervene if a club was prone to violence or cases of food poisoning.
The lure of speakeasies during prohibition is not difficult to understand. Gambling played a significant role — slot machines, poker, blackjack, and roulette were popular in higher-class blind pigs — giving clubs a social and economic benefit. The commonly accepted attitude and minimal penalties for drinking were not much of a deterrent. The thrill of violating prohibition laws appealed to the young, who were rarely embarrassed to have their names in the paper. Blind pigs generally went unnoticed, although those near churches and schools were often targeted. Drinking on campuses was usually concentrated among sororities and fraternities. The Volstead Act allowed people to obtain liquor for "medicinal purposes" by a physician's prescription, this often was then diluted and sold for huge profits.
Many Americans came to Windsor to enjoy a good time while drinking. There were several places for Americans to drink and party simply by crossing the Detroit River, including roadhouses. One of the most popular was the Island View Hotel, off the shore of the Detroit River with its own dock. Today, Island View Hotel known as Abars, is closed and the building was torn down.
Drys vs. Wets
The term "Drys" referred to those who were in favor of prohibition, who were generally well-financed and organized, and included figures such as Billy Sunday, organized civic groups, some religious denominations, and many leaders of the Progressive movement which also supported social causes such as women's suffrage. Supporters of prohibition argued that it helped the American family, churches, schools, workers, and the American political system. The losers, in this view, were seen as criminals, drunks and corrupt politicians.
The "Wets" were those who opposed prohibition and were, for the most part, poorly organized, especially in the early years. Saloon keepers, brewers, and distillers were viewed as corrupting influences, and many people who enjoyed consuming alcohol in private were constrained from doing so, or supporting its legal use, by social, political, or religious considerations in public.
The entrance of the United States into World War I provided opportunities to win broader support for prohibition. Rationing was widely accepted as a necessary ingredient of the American war effort. The use of grain for alcohol production, which could otherwise have been used in the production of necessary agricultural products, was seen as wasteful.
Methods
Rum runners found several ways to smuggle alcohol from Windsor to Detroit. One of the most significant methods was for large vessels docked in Windsor on the Detroit River to have documentation for South America, but would then simply drop off its shipments in Detroit. The only stipulation being a B-13 clearance document had to be issued from federal customs officials with the destination stamped on it. For example, rum runners would unload a boxcar into a boat at the docks in Windsor. The boat driver would have a permit, stamped by a bribed customs officer, allowing him to export his cargo to Venezuela. Instead of Venezuela, the driver would simply take his cargo to Detroit. A day's work could net the driver approximately $200. Harry Low was one of the first people to take full advantage of this opportunity by purchasing large vessels to deliver alcohol to Michigan while having papers saying his shipments were to Cuban or West Indian ports. Rocco Perri, a bootlegger from Hamilton, Ontario, also sold trainloads of liquor into Detroit and Chicago through Niagara Falls and Windsor.
In wintertime, when the Detroit River froze, rum runners drove across the river, often taking lighter cars with smaller engines. These lighter vehicles were called "whiskey sixes" by the smugglers because of the vehicle's six-cylinder engine.
Criminal gangs developed sophisticated methods to signal across the border to avoid raids and arrests; timed like clockwork, one group arranged the purchase of liquor on Windsor's docks while another team transported it across. A third team would transport it to a warehouse where a final team organized the distribution. Gangs with strong financial backing would often bribe federal, state, and local officials. Eventually airplanes were used after the prohibition navy became effective, and railways were also used extensively. Railways were responsible for around 800 cases of beer daily. Customs officers noticed that after the Volstead Act there was a sharp increase in the application of motorboat licenses.
There were not a lot of locally organized groups involved with rum running, but The Purple Gang was one, dealing with criminal activity from Grosse Pointe to Wyandotte. The Purple Gang's main rivals were the Licavoli Squad, who ran their smuggling operations on the upper Detroit River, virtually seizing control over the bigger east side businesses in the city. The Purple Gang became a major supplier to Al Capone and his Chicago Empire. The Purple Gang fell in 1929 after many leaders were either arrested or murdered.
Italian mafiosi (Licavoli, Vitali, and Giannolo families; see more at Detroit Partnership) divided the waterways into sections and if crossed, all-out warfare would follow. Gangs were financially stable and it allowed them to control state officials and police. They would hire anyone to transport alcohol: families, men, women, and young teenagers.
Blaise Diesbourg
Blaise Diesbourg, also known as "King Canada," was a major figure in the liquor smuggling and bootlegging business around Windsor during the American prohibition period. His success brought him in contact with Al Capone, who arranged a deal with Diesbourg to supply him with the regular shipment of booze by plane. Diesbourg took the name "King Canada" at this time as an alias to hide from legal authorities.
Due to the ease and proximity of smuggling across the Detroit River to the United States, it was an obvious choice for Diesbourg to expand his operations across the border. Farming or fishing wages of $35 a month could not compete with monthly rum-running salaries of $400 a month for a captain. Seventy-five percent of all illegal liquor brought into the United States was transported across the Detroit River from Canada, mainly along the thirty-five mile stretch from Lake Erie to the St. Clair River. In fact, the city's two major industries during this time were the manufacturing of automobiles and the distribution of Canadian liquor.
King Canada would smuggle liquor into the United States either by ship or plane, as well as used cars across the frozen Detroit River during the winter. He was one of the few bootleggers to utilize planes in his smuggling operations.
Harry Low
Harry Low was one of Windsor's most famous rum runners during the prohibition era, leaving behind one of Windsor's most treasured historic sites Devonshire Lodge. Low was a machinist by trade and worked in the industry for many years before opening up his own pool hall on Sandwich Street (Now Riverside Drive) in Windsor. As prohibition came to fruition in the 1920s, Low witnessed an opportunity to make quick money by smuggling booze from Windsor, Ontario. Low borrowed $300 from a friend to help him along with setting up a bootlegging business for his pool hall customers. Through the profits he made from this operation he was able to close his pool hall and move on to bigger bootlegging businesses, starting small by running liquor from Windsor across the Detroit River into Detroit. This proved to be so successful that soon Low had to purchase two cargo ships, most notable of which was the World War I Mine sweeper named "The Vedas", which was used mostly for the movement of alcohol from Montreal to the docks of Windsor. Low and his associates were also linked to the murder of a former employee whose body was found in southern Michigan near the Ohio state line. At the start of prohibition the American forces trying to stop rum-running to Detroit were very impotent. But by 1922, they developed a powerful speedboat loaded with heavy weaponry, which would be the beginning of the "prohibition navy."
The United States was growing tired of the violence involved with smuggling; the unemployment rate was a staggering 46% in 1931. In 1933 it was argued that the legalization of liquor would reduce crime, lawlessness, and gangs. The 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st amendment on December 5, 1933.

Fred Astbury
|
Lieutenant-Commander Frederick Wolfe Astbury (21 April 1872 – 28 December 1954) was a British businessman and Conservative politician.
Early life
He was the son of Frederick James Astbury JP of Hilton Park, Prestwich, near Manchester. During the First World War he volunteered for service in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, recruiting for the Royal Navy. However, the election saw a large electoral advance by the Labour Party, who gained all three Salford constituencies. Astbury was unseated by Labour's Alexander Haycock. Following the election, a minority Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald was formed. The administration collapsed in the following year, necessitating a further general election. Astbury regained the seat, benefitting from a large nationwide swing to the Conservatives. At the next election in 1929 the situation was reversed, there was a swing to Labour, which became the largest party in the Commons for the first time and Astbury was unseated by Haycock for a second time. By the time of the next general election in 1931 a National Government had been formed. Haycock and the majority of the Labour Party MPs refused to support the government. Astbury, running as a National Conservative highlighting a new, strengthened alliance struck with MacDonald and the National Labour Organisation in the throes of the Great Depression regained the seat.
Resignation of National Government whip
In May 1935 Astbury was one of five Conservative MPs who resigned the National Government whip. They felt they could no longer support the government over their failure to impose quotas or prohibitions on imports of textile goods from India and Burma, threatening the commerce of Lancashire. The group also felt that the National Government, supported in the main by Conservative members, had passed too much "Socialist" legislation, such as that creating the London Passenger Transport Board. He was summoned to a meeting of the West Salford Conservative and Unionist Association to explain his position, having first organised a meeting of his constituents which unanimously approved his actions. A decision on whether he would be adopted as the Conservative candidate at the next election was avoided when he announced he would not be seeking re-election due to poor health.

is a 1984 Japanese film directed by Sōgo Ishii. Its special effects were supervised by Takashi Ito. The movie is a satirical take on the pressures of Japanese society, particularly focusing on the idea of the "perfect family." Plot
The story revolves around the Kobayashi family, who seem to have achieved the dream of the typical middle-class Japanese family. They move into a new suburban home, filled with hopes of living an idyllic life. However, the pressures of maintaining this image soon begin to unravel the family's sanity. The father, Katsuhiko, is obsessed with protecting the family from any perceived threats, both real and imagined. This paranoia grows as he feels increasingly unable to control the pressures of work and the expectations of society. The mother, Saeko, attempts to maintain a sense of normalcy but becomes increasingly detached as the situation worsens. Their son, Masaki, is a high school student who struggles with the intense academic pressure to succeed, while their daughter, Erika, is a rebellious teenager who resents the constraints placed on her by her parents.
As the family's mental state deteriorates, the movie descends into chaos. The once perfect image of the Kobayashi family crumbles, and they become increasingly violent and irrational. The father's paranoia reaches a breaking point, leading to a bizarre and destructive climax as the family turns on each other in a desperate attempt to maintain their sanity.

Synopsis
During his travels, Tora-san gets drunk with an old man in Kyoto. Though Tora-san never fully comprehends his importance, the old man is a Living National Treasure ceramist. At his home, Tora-san makes a good impression on the old man's maid, who apparently falls in love with Tora-san.Cast* Kiyoshi Atsumi as Torajirō

Long-time composer for the series, Naozumi Yamamoto, was nominated for Best Music Score. Enomoto won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Ribbon Awards.
Stuart Galbraith IV writes that the film "is no better than average for this series, but then again this series' average is awfully high."

Maryland in the American Revolution
|
of General George Washington Resigning His Commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, at the Maryland State House on State Circle in Annapolis on December 23, 1783, after the end of the Revolutionary War and the ratification of the Treaty of Paris.]]
Then Province of Maryland had been a British / English colony since 1632, when Sir George Calvert, first Baron of Baltimore and Lord Baltimore (1579-1632), received a charter and grant from King Charles I of England and first created a haven for English Roman Catholics in the New World, with his son, Cecilius Calvert (1605-1675), the second Lord Baltimore equipping and sending over the first colonists to the Chesapeake Bay region in March 1634. The first signs of rebellion against the mother country occurred in 1765, when the tax collector Zachariah Hood was injured while landing at the second provincial capital of Annapolis docks, arguably the first violent resistance to British taxation in the colonies. After a decade of bitter argument and internal discord, Maryland declared itself a sovereign state in 1776. The province was one of the Thirteen Colonies of British America to declare independence from Great Britain and joined the others in signing a collective Declaration of Independence that summer in the Second Continental Congress in nearby Philadelphia. Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, and Charles Carroll of Carrollton signed on Maryland's behalf.
Although no major Battles of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) occurred in Maryland itself, (although the British Royal Navy fleet passed through and up the Bay to land troops at the "Head of Elk"), to attack the colonies' capital city, this did not prevent the state's soldiers from distinguishing themselves through their service. General George Washington counted the "Maryland Line" regiment who fought in the Continental Army especially the famed "Maryland 400" during the Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776, outside New York Town as among his finest soldiers, and Maryland is still known as "The Old Line State" today.
During the war itself, Baltimore Town served as the temporary capital of the colonies when the Second Continental Congress met there during December 1776 to February 1777, after Philadelphia had been threatened with occupation by the British "Redcoats". Towards the end of the struggle, from November 26, 1783, to June 3, 1784, the state's capital Annapolis, briefly served as the capital of the fledgling confederation government (1781-1789) of the United States of America, and it was in the Old Senate Chamber of the Maryland State House on State Circle in Annapolis that General George Washington famously resigned his commission as commander in chief of the Continental Army on December 23, 1783. It was also there that the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, was ratified by the Confederation Congress on January 14, 1784.
Like other states, Maryland was bitterly divided by the war; many Loyalists refused to join the Revolution, and saw their lands and estates confiscated as a consequence. The Barons Baltimore, who before the war had exercised almost feudal power in Maryland, were among the biggest losers. Almost the entire political elite of the province was overthrown, replaced by an entirely new political class, loyal to a new national political structure.
Background
The State of Maryland began as the Province of Maryland, an English settlement in North America founded in 1632 as a proprietary colony. George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore (1580–1632), wished to create a haven for his fellow English Catholics in the New World. After founding a colony in the Newfoundland called "Avalon", he convinced the King to grant him a second territory in more southern temperate climes. When George Calvert died in 1632 the grant was transferred to his eldest son Cecil.
The ship The Ark and The Dove sent by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore (1605–1675), landed on March 25, 1634, at Blackistone Island, thereafter known as St. Clement's Island. Here at St. Clement's Island, led by Father Andrew White, they raised a large cross, and held a mass. In April 1634, Lord Baltimore's younger brother Leonard Calvert, first colonial governor, made a settlement at what was named "St. Mary's City".
Religious strife
Although Maryland was an early pioneer of religious toleration in the British colonies, religious strife among Anglicans, Puritans, Roman Catholics, and Quakers was common in the early years, and in 1654 Puritan rebels briefly seized control of the province.
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 saw King James II, of the dynasty of the House of Stuart, replaced with his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange. In British North America, John Coode led a rebellion, known as the "Protestant Revolution", that expelled the Catholic Lords Baltimore from power and banned Roman Catholic worship in the Province. In 1692 King William III installed a crown-appointed governor.
Economy
from the Atlantic slave trade. From an Abstract of Evidence delivered before a select committee of the House of Commons of Great Britain in 1790 and 1791.]]
Despite early competition with the colony of Virginia to its south, the Province of Maryland developed along lines very similar to those of Virginia. Its early settlements and populations centers tended to cluster around the rivers and other waterways that empty into the Chesapeake Bay. Like Virginia, Maryland's economy quickly became centered around the farming of tobacco for sale in Europe. The need for cheap labor to help with the growth of tobacco, and later with the mixed farming economy that developed when tobacco prices collapsed, led to a rapid expansion of indentured servitude and, later, forcible immigration and enslavement of Africans.
In the later colonial period, the southern and eastern portions of the Province continued in their tobacco economy, heavily dependent on slave labor, but as the revolution approached, northern and central Maryland increasingly became centers of wheat production. This helped drive the expansion of interior farming towns like Frederick and Maryland's major port city of Baltimore.
Economic tensions
Among the many tensions between Maryland and the mother country were economic problems, focused around the sale of Maryland's principal cash crop, tobacco. A handful of Glasgow tobacco merchants increasingly dominated the tobacco trade between Britain and her colonies, manipulating prices and causing great distress among Maryland and Virginia planters, who by the time of the outbreak of war had accumulated debts of around £1,000,000, a huge sum at the time. These debts, as much as the taxation imposed by Westminster, were among the colonists' most bitter grievances.
Prior to 1740, Glasgow merchants were responsible for the import of less than 10% of America's tobacco crop, but by the 1750s a handful of Glasgow Tobacco Lords handled more of the trade than the rest of Britain's ports combined. Maryland planters were offered easy credit by the Glaswegian merchants, enabling them to buy European consumer goods and other luxuries before harvest time gave them the ready cash to do so. But, when the time came to sell the crop, the indebted growers found themselves forced by the canny traders to accept low prices for their harvest simply in order to stave off bankruptcy.
In neighbouring Virginia, tobacco planters experienced similar problems. At his Mount Vernon plantation, future President of the United States George Washington saw his liabilities swell to nearly £2000 by the late 1760s. Thomas Jefferson, on the verge of losing his own farm, accused British merchants of unfairly depressing tobacco prices and forcing Virginia farmers to take on unsustainable debt loads. In 1786, he remarked:
<blockquote>A powerful engine for this [mercantile profiting] was the giving of good prices and credit to the planter till they got him more immersed in debt than he could pay without selling lands or slaves. They then reduced the prices given for his tobacco so that ... they never permitted him to clear off his debt.</blockquote>
Many Marylanders sought to use the opportunity posed by war to repudiate their debts. One of the "Resolves" later adopted by the citizens of Annapolis on May 25, 1774, would read as follows:
<blockquote>Resolved, that it is the opinion of the meeting, that the gentlemen of the law of this province bring no suit for the recovery of any debt, due from any inhabitant of this province to any inhabitant of Great Britain, until the said act [The Stamp Act] be repealed</blockquote>
After the war, few of the enormous debts owed by the colonists would never be repaid.
There were also serious tensions between the colonists and the British over land, especially after the Crown effectively confirmed Indian land rights in 1763. Washington himself was appalled by this decision to protect native property rights, writing to his future partner William Crawford in 1767 that he:
<blockquote>could never look upon that Proclamation in any other light ... than as a temporary expedient to quiet the minds of the Indians. It must fall, of course, in a few years, especially when those Indians consent to our occupying their lands.</blockquote>
Tax protests
In 1764 Britain imposed a tax on sugar, the first of many ultimately unsuccessful attempts to make her North American subjects bear a portion of the cost of the recent French and Indian War. The first stirrings of revolution in Maryland came in the Fall of 1765, when the speaker of the Lower House of the Maryland General Assembly received a number of letters from Massachusetts, one proposing a meeting of delegates from all the colonies, others objecting to British taxation without consent and proposing that Marylanders should be "free of any impositions, but such as they consent to by themselves or their representatives".
Meanwhile, an Annapolis merchant by the name of Zachariah Hood, charged by the British with the task of collecting the new stamp duty, was injured at the dock on his return to Maryland by an angry crowd in what has been called the "first successful, forcible resistance in America to King George's authority". Shunned by his friends and fearful of his life, Hood, at the invitation of governor Cadwallader Colden of New York, fled Maryland for New York and took refuge at Fort George. Governor Sharpe reported in September 1765 that he was "very apprehensive that if the stamp paper was to arrive here and be landed at this time it would not be in my power to preserve it from being burnt".}}
Writing in the Maryland Gazette under the pseudonym "First Citizen," Carroll became a prominent spokesman against the governor's proclamation increasing legal fees to state officers and Protestant clergy. Carroll also served on various Committees of Correspondence, promoting independence.
From 1774 to 1776, Carroll was a member of the Annapolis Convention. He was commissioned with Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Chase and his cousin John Carroll in February 1774 to seek aid from Canada. He was a member of Annapolis' first Committee of Safety in 1775. In early 1776, while not yet a member, the Congress sent him on a mission to Canada. When Maryland decided to support the open revolution, he was elected to the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and remained a delegate until 1778. He arrived too late to vote in favor of it, but was able to sign the Declaration of Independence.
It is possible that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution - guaranteeing freedom of religion - was written in appreciation for Carroll's considerable financial support during the Revolutionary War. Carroll was the only Roman Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, and until his death in 1832 he was its last living signatory.
Samuel Chase
.]]
Samuel Chase (1741–1811), was a "firebrand" states-righter and revolutionary, and was a signatory to the United States Declaration of Independence as a representative of Maryland. He co-founded Anne Arundel County's Sons of Liberty chapter with his close friend William Paca, and led opposition to the 1765 Stamp Act. Later he became an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Loyalist opposition
Public opinion in Maryland before the war was bitterly divided; many Marylanders either actively supported the Crown or were unwilling to countenance violence as a means of redress. In 1766, Samuel Chase became embroiled in a war of words with a number of Loyalist members of the Maryland political establishment in Annapolis. In an open letter dated July 18, 1766, Chase attacked Walter Dulany, George Steuart (1700–1784), John Brice (1705–1766), Michael MacNamara and others for publishing an article in the Maryland Gazette Extraordinary of June 19, 1766, in which Chase was accused of being: "a busy, reckless incendiary, a ringleader of mobs, a foul-mouthed and inflaming son of discord and faction, a common disturber of the public tranquility". In his response, Chase accused Steuart and the others of "vanity ... pride and arrogance", and of being brought to power by "proprietary influence, court favour, and the wealth and influence of the tools and favourites who infest this city." Such disputes would become increasingly bitter as war approached.
One prominent Loyalist was Daniel Dulaney the Younger, Mayor of Annapolis, and an influential lawyer in the period immediately before the Revolution. Dulany was a noted opposer of the Stamp Act 1765, and wrote the noted pamphlet Considerations on the Propriety of Imposing Taxes in the British Colonies which argued against taxation without representation. The pamphlet has been described as "the ablest effort of this kind produced in America". In the pamphlet, Dulany summarized his position as follows: "There may be a time when redress may not be obtained. Till then, I shall recommend a legal, orderly, and prudent resentment".
In May 1774, according to local legend, the Chestertown Tea Party took place in Chestertown, Maryland, during which Maryland patriots boarded the brigantine Geddes in broad daylight and threw its cargo of tea into the Chester River, as a protest against taxes imposed by the British Tea Act. The event is still celebrated to this day each Memorial Day weekend with a festival and historic re-enactment known as the Chestertown Tea Party Festival.
Governor Eden returned to Maryland from England shortly after the Peggy Stewart was burned. On December 30, 1774, he wrote:
<blockquote>The spirit of resistance against the Tea Act, or any mode of internal taxation, is as strong and universal here as ever. I firmly believe that they will undergo any hardship sooner than acknowledge a right in the British Parliament in that particular, and will persevere in their non-importation and non-exportation experiments, in spite of every inconvenience that they must consequently be exposed to, and the total loss of their trade.</blockquote>
Despite such protests, and a growing sense that war was inevitable, Maryland still held back from full independence from Great Britain, and gave instructions to that effect to its delegates to the First Continental Congress which met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September 1774.
Assembly of Freemen
, Maryland's first elected governor under its 1776 Constitution.]]
During this initial phase of the Revolutionary period, Maryland was governed by the Assembly of Freemen, an Assembly of the state's counties. The first convention lasted four days, from June 22 to June 25, 1774. All sixteen counties then existing were represented by a total of 92 members; Matthew Tilghman was elected chairman.
The eighth session decided that the continuation of an ad-hoc government by the convention was not a good mechanism for all the concerns of the province. A more permanent and structured government was needed. So, on July 3, 1776, they resolved that a new convention be elected that would be responsible for drawing up their first state constitution, one that did not refer to parliament or the king, but would be a government "...of the people only." After they set dates and prepared notices to the counties they adjourned. On August 1, all freemen with property elected delegates for the last convention. The ninth and last convention was also known as the Constitutional Convention of 1776. They drafted a constitution, and when they adjourned on November 11, they would not meet again. The Conventions were replaced by the new state government which the Maryland Constitution of 1776 had established. Thomas Johnson became the state's first elected governor.
Declaration of Independence
Maryland declared independence from Britain in 1776, with Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, and Charles Carroll of Carrollton signing the Declaration of Independence for the colony.
In 1777, all Maryland voters were required to take the Oath of Fidelity and Support. This was an oath swearing allegiance to the state of Maryland and denying allegiance and obedience to Great Britain. As enacted by the Maryland General Assembly in 1777, all persons holding any office of profit or trust, including attorneys at law, and all voters were required to take the oath no later than March 1, 1778. It was signed by 3,136 residents of Montgomery and Washington counties.
On March 1, 1781, the Articles of Confederation took effect with Maryland's ratification. The articles had initially been submitted to the states on November 17, 1777, but the ratification process dragged on for several years, stalled by an interstate quarrel over claims to uncolonized land in the west. Maryland was the last hold-out; it refused to ratify until Virginia and New York agreed to rescind their claims to lands in what became the Northwest Territory.
Maryland would later accept the United States Constitution more readily, ratifying it on April 28, 1788.
Revolutionary War
holds the line at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, March 15, 1781.]]
(1721–1783) was the first person to serve a full term as President of the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation.]]
Although no major Battles of the American Revolutionary War occurred in Maryland, this did not prevent the state's soldiers from distinguishing themselves through their service. General George Washington was impressed with the Maryland regulars (the "Maryland Line") who fought in the Continental Army and, according to one tradition, this led him to bestow the name "Old Line State" on Maryland. Today, the Old Line State is one of Maryland's two official nicknames.
The state also filled other roles during the war. For instance, the Continental Congress met briefly in Baltimore from December 20, 1776, through March 4, 1777. Baltimore served as the temporary capital of the colonies when the Second Continental Congress met there during December 1776 to February 1777, when Philadelphia was threatened by the British, meeting at the old "Henry Fite House", a substantial three-and-half story brick structure on the western edge of town (beyond the possible cannon range of any British Royal Navy ships that might try to force a passage upstream on the Patapsco River from the Chesapeake Bay to the Harbor), The building was later a tavern/hotel, then named "Congress Hall" after the sessions held there at Market Street (previously Long Street and later West Baltimore Street) and South Sharp-and later North Liberty Street.
Marylander John Hanson served as President of the Continental Congress from 1781 to 1782. Hanson was the first person to serve a full term as President of the Congress under the Articles of Confederation.
From November 26, 1783, to June 3, 1784, Annapolis served as the United States capital and the Confederation Congress met in the Maryland State House. (Annapolis was a candidate to become the new nation's permanent capital before Washington, D.C. was built). It was in the old senate chamber and, as the conflict grew, he became fearful of his family's safety, writing in late 1777 that his family "has been made so uneasy by these frequent outrages" that he wished to "remove my family and property where I can get protection".
Calvert did not leave Maryland, nor did he involve himself in the fighting, though he did on occasion supply the Continental Army with food and provisions. After the war, he had to pay triple taxes as did other Loyalists, but he was never forced to sign the loyalty oath and his lands and property remained unconfiscated.African Americans and the war
foot soldiers. Slaves were promised freedom by the British in return for military service.]]
The principal cause of the American Revolution was liberty, but only on behalf of white men, and certainly not slaves. The British, desperately short of manpower, sought to enlist African American soldiers to fight on behalf of the Crown, promising them liberty in exchange. As a result of the looming crisis in 1775 the Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, issued a proclamation that promised freedom to servants and slaves who were able to bear arms and join his Loyalist Ethiopian Regiment:
About 800 men joined up; some helped rout the Virginia militia at the Battle of Kemp's Landing and fought in the Battle of Great Bridge on the Elizabeth River, wearing the motto "Liberty to Slaves", but this time they were defeated. The remains of their regiment were then involved in the evacuation of Norfolk, after which they served in the Chesapeake area. Unfortunately the camp that they had set up there suffered an outbreak of smallpox and other diseases. This took a heavy toll, putting many of them out of action for some time. The survivors joined other British units and continued to serve throughout the war. Blacks were often the first to come forward to volunteer and a total of 12,000 blacks served with the British from 1775 to 1783. This factor had the effect of forcing the rebels to also offer freedom to those who would serve in the Continental Army; ultimately, more than 5,000 African Americans (many of them enslaved) served in Patriot military units during the war.
In general though, the war left the institution of slavery largely unaffected, and the prosperous life of Maryland planters continued.
After the war
, the Barons Baltimore.]]
In 1783, Henry Harford, the last proprietarial governor of Maryland and the illegitimate son of Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, attempted to recover his estates in Maryland which had been confiscated during the American Revolution, where he was a witness to George Washington's resignation of command at Annapolis. He and Governor Eden were invited to stay at the home of Dr. Upton Scott and his nephew, Francis Scott Key. However, he had no success in retrieving his land, in spite of the fact that Charles Carroll of Carrollton and Samuel Chase argued in his favor. In 1786, the case was decided by the Maryland General Assembly. Although it passed in the House, the Senate unanimously rejected it. In their reasoning for this rejection, the Senate cited Henry's absence during the war, and his father Frederick's alienation of his subjects, as major factors.
Returning to Britain, he claimed compensation through the English courts and was awarded £100,000.
Some trace of the Calvert family's proprietarial rule in Maryland still remains. Frederick County, Maryland, is named after the last Baron Baltimore,as well as counties after other family members such as Calvert, Cecil, Baltimore, Charles, Caroline, and Anne Arundel. and the official flag of the State of Maryland, uniquely among the 50 states, bears witness to their family legacy.
Following the Maryland State Convention of 1788, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution.

Windsor, Ontario Streetcar System
|
Windsor, Ontario was the first Canadian city with an electric street car system, which was introduced in 1886. By the time Windsor's streetcar system was dismantled in 1937, the system's scale was extensive and it serviced all 5 of the major riverfront communities of Windsor, Ford City (East Windsor), Sandwich, Walkerville and Ojibway. Beginnings The streetcar system adopted by the city of Windsor and surrounding towns was developed by Charles J. Van Depoele. Van Depoele had immigrated to Detroit, Michigan from Belgium in 1874 to develop his electric system. The track started at the international ferry landing and went south, providing access to a popular race track, while simultaneously encouraging population growth south of the Detroit River where transportation was becoming readily available.
Subsequently, the S.W. & A.R. began expanding its track to these areas and to areas of dense population growth, creating access to much of the city and surrounding areas. People followed the track line, and the track line followed the people. Many Windsorites did not own automobiles, and found the streetcar a viable alternative to purchasing a new car. By 1921, the track had expanded to the towns of Amherstburg and Tecumseh at each end, measuring 37 miles in total. The S.W. & A.R. found that it would be less costly to purchase a set of buses than to repair the deteriorating rails.

Strobilanthes callosa
|
Strobilanthes callosa (Synonym: Carvia callosa (Nees) Bremek) Its standardized Hindi name is maruadona (मरुआदोना) which it is called in the state of Madhya Pradesh where it is also found. In the state of Maharashtra, in the Marathi language, the shrub is locally known as karvi (कारवी), sometimes spelled in English as karvy. of which at least 46 are found in India.
Because most of these species show an unusual flowering behaviour, varying from annual to 16-year blooming cycles, there is often confusion on the national scale about which plant is flowering.
Description
]]
It is a large shrub, sometimes attaining 6–20 ft in height and 2 inches in diameter
Plants that bloom at long intervals like Strobilanthes callosa are known as plietesials, the term plietesial has been used in reference to perennial monocarpic plants “of the kind most often met with in the Strobilanthinae” (a subtribe of Acanthaceae containing Strobilanthes and allied genera) that usually grow gregariously, flower simultaneously following a long interval, set seed, and die. Other commonly used expressions or terms which apply to part or all of the plietesial life history include gregarious flowering, mast seeding, and supra-annual synchronized semelparity (semelparity = monocarpy).
In 1953 Sharfuddin Khan describing the plant in the former Hyderabad State wrote:
inches in diameter; branches often warted or scabrous-tubercled. Leaves opposite, 7 by 3 in., sometimes much larger, crenate, rough, conspicuously marked with five lines above, nerves 8-16 pair; petiole 2-3 in. Flowers in strobiliform spikes 1-4 in. long, often densely or laxly cymose; bracts 1/2 - 1 in. long, orbicular or elliptic. Calyx 1/2 in., in fruit often exceeding 3/4 in., sub-equally 5-lobed to the base; segments oblong, obtuse, softly hairy. Corolla tubular-ventricose, 1 in., glabrous without, very hairy within, deep blue; lobes 5, nearly equal, contorted in bud. Stamens 4; filaments hairy downwards; anthers blunt; not spurred at the base. Ovary 4-ovuled; style linear; stigma of one long linear-lanceolate branch the other minute. Capsule 3/4 by 1/3 in., seeds more than 1/3 in. long, thin, obovate, acute, densely shaggy with white inelastic adpressed hair, except on the large oblong areoles.
Tolerably common on the Kannad and Ajanta ghats in Aurangabad. In 'List of Trees, Shrubs, etc., of the Bombay Presidency,' Talbot remarks. "It covers large areas on the Konkan and N. Kanara ghats, and forms the undergrowth in many of the deciduous moist forests. Sometimes a very large shrub (30 ft., high and 2 in. in diameter). A general flowering takes place every seven or eight years. The white glabrous bracts become covered, after the flowering is over, with viscous strongly smelling hairs. The flowers vary in colour from purple-blue to pink. A general flowering of this species in N. Kanara, took place in Sept-Oct. 1887. The capsules ripen during the cold and hot seasons, and are elastically dehiscent, making a peculiar, almost continuous, noise during the shedding of the seeds in a forest of this species".|Sharfuddin Khan, M. D. Forest flora of Hyderabad State. AP Forest Division, India; 1953. which can be defined as "synchronous production of seed at long intervals by a population of plants", strict masting only occurs in species that are monocarpic (or semelparous) -- individuals of the species only reproduce once during their lifetime, then die.
Distribution
Strobilanthes callosa which is mostly peculiar to the hills of the Western Ghats (Sahyadris) and unfit for human consumption, the plant is used as a traditional medicinal herb by the local adivasi tribals and villagers with anti-rheumatic activity.
Related species include Strobilanthes cusia BREMEK (大青葉, Da Ching Yeh, タイセイヨウ), used in Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine, and Strobilanthes forrestii Diels (Wei Niu Xi), used in Chinese herbal medicine.Other usesStrobilanthes callosa has sturdy stems which along with its leaves is generally used by the local adivasi tribals and villagers as thatching material to build their huts. and organize special trips every eight years when the rare Karvi flowers are in full bloom.<ref name="Nature lovers on the Karvy trail; Times of India"/>

List of Yugoslav Air Force regiments and brigades
|
The regiment and brigade size units were main units of SFR Yugoslav Air Force during its existence, as parts of aviation divisions, commands and corps. Aviation regiments until "Drvar" reorganizations composed from three aircraft squadrons and one technical squadron, but after they composed from two to five aircraft squadrons. By the middle 1960s, some regiments had become brigades as they composed from more squadrons. They were equal to a USAF wing or RAF group. In organization of the Yugoslav Air Force there were also other branch regiments and regiments, as signal, air reconnaissance/intelligence and guidance, air defense and paratroop.

Moskalyev SAM-5
|
The Moskalyev SAM-5 was a 1930s Soviet transport or air ambulance monoplane designed by Aleksandr Moskalyev. The type served in small numbers in the Second World War as an air ambulance.
Development and design
The SAM-5 was a cantilever high-wing monoplane with fixed conventional landing gear and an enclosed cabin for a pilot and four passengers. The first prototype was built using stressed-skin light alloy construction but it had problems with the quality of workmanship in what was an unfamiliar material. The second-prototype SAM-5bis was built using plywood and fabric and had wing bracing and a more slender fuselage. After testing 37 production aircraft were built and they were delivered from 1937 as air ambulances with room for three patients and an attendant.
Moskalyev then worked on an improved variant, the SAM-5-2bis, tested with a 200 hp (149 kW) engine; the aircraft established distance and height records. An order was placed for 200 of the improved variant, again for use as an air ambulance but they were never built. This last SAM-5 variant led to four, differently numbered, developments.
SAM-5-2bis developments
SAM-10 Low wing, inline, 5/6 seater.
SAM-11 High wing, inline, 4 seat amphibian.
SAM-14 High wing, inline, 6 seat version.
SAM-25 High wing, radial, military assault/ transport.

The Dranoff International Two Piano Foundation
|
The Dranoff International Two Piano Foundation is an American classical music organization, based in Miami, Florida.
Throughout the years, its mission was to introduce, to educate and to invite the widest possible audience to the world of music, with special emphasis on four-hand chamber music for piano. Since 1987, the foundation has been the leader for the renaissance of duo pianism.
The competition is a biennial two piano and piano four-hand competition. It is opened to artists up to 33 years of age. At the time of its creation, it was the first such competition in the world. Some of the most successful piano duos in the world are former Dranoff International Two Piano Competition winners.
Alvin Perlman Commission
The Alvin Perlman Commission is an undertaking by the foundation to expand the two piano repertoire. Each competition year, a major composer is commissioned to composer a piece. In addition to this piece being forever added to the performance canon, it also serves as a required work for the competition's finals. Some of the most significant commissioned pieces are Two Pianos by Morton Gould, Variations Concertantes by Michel Legrand, Recuerdos by William Bolcom, Taschyag by Paul Schoenfield, Six Variations for Pianos by Ned Rorem, Charoscuro by John Corgliano, Bachanale by Rovert Xavier Rodriguez and Lillibulero Variationsby Sir Richard Rodney Bennett.
Piano Slam
Piano Slam is a community outreach and engagement project with the purpose of introducing classical music to underprivileged school children in the Miami area. A number of public schools are visited by classical artists, pop artists and poets, while the children are encouraged to compose poetry relating to a certain musical work. A panel then awards prizes for the best works, and the students also have the opportunity to premiere them in front of a live audience at the Adrienne Arscht Center for the Arts in Miami, Florida.

Nicetas or Niketas () was the cousin of Emperor Heraclius. He played a major role in the revolt against Phocas that brought Heraclius to the throne, where he captured Egypt for his cousin. Nicetas remained governor of Egypt (or at least Alexandria) thereafter, and participated also in the Byzantine–Sassanid War of 602–628, but failed to stop the Sassanid conquest of Egypt ca. 618/619. He disappears from the sources thereafter, but possibly served as Exarch of Africa until his death.
Rebellion against Phocas and the conquest of Egypt
Nicetas was the son of the Gregoras, the brother of the Exarch of Africa Heraclius the Elder, under whom he served as in Africa. When Heraclius the Elder launched a rebellion against the usurper Phocas in 608, Nicetas and his father supported it. The Exarch's son, Heraclius the Younger, was the rebellion's candidate to replace Phocas, and with a fleet sailed directly for the imperial capital, Constantinople, which he seized on 5 October 610. At the same time, Nicetas, his forces augmented by Berber auxiliaries, undertook the overland conquest of the Cyrenaica and Egypt. The 9th-century Patriarch of Constantinople Nikephoros reports that the two cousins were involved in a "race" for Constantinople and the imperial throne, but this is clearly a legend.
Nicetas' cause was aided by dissatisfied factions within Egypt itself, including the former prefect of Alexandria Theodore and his sons, probably the very wealthy and powerful Egyptian family of the Apiones, and even by prophecies and portents spread by holy men who opposed Phocas' tyranny. Cyrenaica fell easily, and Nicetas' deputy Bonakis was sent against Egypt with 3,000 Byzantines and many more Berber auxiliaries. According to the account of John of Nikiu, the prefect of the Mareotis was bribed to switch sides, and in a battle before Alexandria, Nicetas' forces defeated and killed Phocas' general. The city's populace rose up in support of Nicetas' forces, the Patriarch, governor and treasurer fled, and Nicetas had the populace proclaim his cousin as emperor.
Bonakis was then dispatched to complete the conquest of the Nile Delta, but two garrisons, at Semanub and Athrib, resisted until Phocas sent a general, Bonosus, from Palestine to recover Egypt. Bonosus was initially successful, as he defeated, captured and executed Bonakis and seized Nikiu, where he executed several leading figures who had supported the rebellion. In the meantime, Alexandria was plagued by factional fighting between the Blues, who still supported Phocas, and the Greens, who supported the rebellion, but before long the Blues switched sides, and Nicetas was able to raise new troops and repel two attempts by Bonosus to capture the city. Dismayed, Bonosus retreated and eventually took ship from Pelusium to Constantinople. Following his departure, the Heraclians consolidated their control of Egypt, a process which was completed by the summer of 610. Governorship of Egypt and the Persian war From Egypt, Nicetas apparently marched on into Palestine to subdue the Phocas loyalists there, but soon returned to Egypt, where he was installed as governor. His exact office is unclear—he is usually simply mentioned by his rank of , which he probably was given in 610—but he was possibly of Alexandria. As Walter Kaegi comments, in view of the mutual trust between Nicetas and Heraclius, this made eminent sense, since Egypt contributed some 30% of the praetorian prefecture of the East's annual income, and the new regime "would not have wished some other politically ambitious figure to stir up new unrest there as they had recently done themselves". At Egypt, Nicetas sponsored the election of John the Almsgiver as Patriarch of Alexandria, with whom he even became a ritual brother through the rite of .
Later, in 615 or 616, he helped reconcile the Monophysite churches of Alexandria and Antioch, but it is unclear whether Nicetas remained continuously in office; at any rate, he was absent from Egypt for several extended periods. Thus in the summer of 612 he visited Constantinople, where he was received with great pomp. According to the Chronicon Paschale, he brought with him the Holy Sponge and the Holy Lance, which were the objects of special services held at the capital in autumn. Heraclius reportedly left control of the capital to Nicetas when he went to Cappadocia to meet Priscus, who was besieging the Sassanid Persians in Caesarea. During this time, according to the hagiography of Saint Theodore of Sykeon, Nicetas reputedly fell ill and was healed through the intercession of the saint. When Priscus was disgraced shortly after, on 5 December 612 Nicetas succeeded him as , commander of the imperial bodyguard.
In 613, Nicetas accompanied Heraclius in his campaign against the Persians, but the two cousins were defeated in the Battle of Antioch by Shahin Vahmanzadegan, a defeat which resulted in the rapid fall of Syria to the Persians. It appears, however, that Nicetas managed to win a costly victory near Emesa, possibly in 614. It is probably on this occasion that statues honouring him were erected in Constantinople. The Persian victories and the shortage of funds forced Nicetas to turn to his friend, the Patriarch John, for help, and requisition funds from the Alexandrian Church.
Following the conquest of Syria and Palestine, the Persian general Shahrbaraz began the invasion of Egypt. Nicetas' role in preparing for and during the defence of the province, as well as the detailed course of the invasion, are unknown, but both he and Patriarch John fled Alexandria for Cyprus and then Rhodes, shortly before its fall to the Persians.
Nicetas disappears from sources after this, but based on a later anecdote it has been suggested by Charles Diehl that he went on to govern Africa until his probable death in 628/9. Other scholars, however, including the editors of the Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire, consider this interpretation unlikely.
Family
Nicetas was the father of the Empress Gregoria, wife of Constantine III, and perhaps also of a Nicetas, attested in 639, and of the Exarch of Africa Gregory.
Notes
Nicetas who brought these two relics to Constantinople was not the cousin of Heraclius as traditionally believed, but rather the namesake baptized son of the Persian general Shahrbaraz, who had seized the relics along with the True Cross when he captured Jerusalem, and returned them in 629, after the end of the Byzantine–Sassanid war.}}

Roberts Brothers
|
Messrs. Roberts Brothers (1857–1898) were bookbinders and publishers in 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts. Established in 1857 by Austin J. Roberts, John F. Roberts, and Lewis A. Roberts, the firm began publishing around the early 1860s. American authors included: Louisa May Alcott, Susan Coolidge, Emily Dickinson, Maud Howe Elliott, Louise Imogen Guiney, Julia Ward Howe, Helen Hunt Jackson, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker. British and European authors included: Berthold Auerbach, Caroline Bauer, Mathilde Blind, Juliana Horatia Ewing, Anne Gilchrist, David Gray, Philip Gilbert Hamerton, Jean Ingelow, Vernon Lee, William Morris, Silvio Pellico, Adelaide Ristori, A. Mary F. Robinson, George Sand, Charlotte Mary Yonge, Helen Zimmern.
History
thumb|A Masque of Poets, 1878
The Roberts Brothers were "bookbinders" from 1857 until 1862 (offices successively at: 120 Washington St.; Temple Place; 149 Washington St.) Beginning in 1862 they were also makers of "photograph albums." In 1863 Thomas Niles Jr. began working at the firm. He became partner some years thereafter and remained with the Roberts Brothers until his death in 1894. By 1873 the firm was listed under the names of just Lewis Roberts and Thomas Niles. After several decades on Washington Street across from Old South Meeting House, the business moved to Somerset Street in the 1880s.
As publishers, the Roberts Brothers made their name in 1868 with the publication of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, a best-seller. It featured illustrations by Alcott's sister, May Alcott, who also appeared as a character (Amy) in the book.
From 1876–1887, the firm issued a "No Name Series" of books that did not reveal the writers' names in an attempt to allow the writing to stand on its own merits rather than the reputation of the authors. The books were the brainchild of Thomas Niles Jr., a partner at Roberts Brothers. Harper's praised the move, writing "The idea is a good one, not only because it will pique the curiosity of the reader, but also because it will put the writers on their mettle to do their best, and absolutely prevent that trading on reputation which is the greatest vice of American litterateurs."
The Famous Women Series of the 1880s and 1890s consisted of biographies of Margaret Fuller, Jane Austen, Mary Wollstonecraft, George Eliot, and others, most of them written by women. As a contemporary review put it, "subjects and authors are in the main English, but several famous American women have had their trials and triumphs recorded by other famous American women."
Little, Brown bought the firm in 1898.

Ralph Johnson (philosopher)
|
| birth_place = Detroit, Michigan
| known_for = Founding member of the informal logic movement in North America
| occupation Professor
}}
Ralph Henry Johnson (born 1940) is a Canadian American philosopher, born in Detroit, Michigan. Johnson has been credited as one of the founding members of the informal logic movement in North America, along with J. Anthony Blair who co-published one of the movement's most influential texts, Logical Self-Defense, with Johnson. Alongside its founder, Blair, Johnson co-directed the Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation, and Rhetoric at the University of Windsor. As Johnson and Blair write in the preface to the newest edition of Logical Self-Defense on the influential nature of the text:
<blockquote>"We might note that the theoretical perspective introduced in Logical Self-Defense has proved quite influential among textbook authors. It is to be found in modified form in A Practical Study of Argument by Trudy Govier, in Attacking Faulty Reasoning by T. Edward Damer, in Logic in Everyday Life and Open Minds and Everyday Reasoning by Zachary Seech, in Thinking Logically by James B. Freeman, and in Good Reasoning Matters by Leo Groarke and Christopher W. Tindale."</blockquote>
Education and work
He earned an honors Bachelor of Arts at Xavier University and received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in 1972. He has been a University Professor and University Professor emeritus at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, where he had taught since 1966.
He was a co-chair for the International Symposium on Informal Logic in Windsor in 1978, 1983 and 1989.
Philosophy
As Johnson explains in Logical Self-Defense and his journal article "Making Sense of 'Informal Logic'", Informal Logic is the philosophical practice of understanding and evaluating natural language argumentation. Here fallacies are used in order to evaluate arguments. However, more simply the idea is to evaluate arguments based upon three essential criteria, again as explained in both "Making Sense of "Informal Logic"" and more thoroughly explained in Logical Self-Defense, the premises of arguments must be relevant to the conclusion, sufficient to support it and acceptable to the audience. In this approach to logic, fallacies such as the "straw man" and "red herring" point to a deficiency in the premises in one of these three criteria.
Johnson and Blair also place emphasis on how to identify arguments in everyday life, so that evaluators do not misinterpret the author's intention. In this way Logical Self-Defense identifies several different ways of interpreting arguments and their "look-alikes". For instance, they explain the distinctions between mere opinion, proto-argument, argument, case and explanation as well as provide criteria for helping to identify which is which, including context, verbal cues and logical structure.
In his article "Charity Begins at Home" in Informal Logic, Johnson combines and creates unified form of the "principle of charity" which he found to exist in four other forms in the works Thomas's Practical Reasoning in Natural Language (1973), Baum's Logic (1975) and in Scriven's Reasoning (1976). In doing so, he created a more developed "principle of charity" to which Informal Logicians could refer.
Accordingly, in this article section II attempts to unify these four versions by making one the foundation, while the others work as its corollaries. Then, after creating a better account of the "principle of charity", Johnson spends Section III of the article addressing some of the issues involved in the application of the "rinciple of charity" and finally Section IV addresses a proposed restriction for the use of the "principle of charity".
In this article, one of the more notable ideas presented is the notion of "manifest rationality", which Johnson described in this way:
"The practice (of arguing) is characterized by a trait I call manifest rationality. In the practice of argumentation, rationality is not merely the inner reality but also the outward appearance of the practice. The practice must not just be rational; it must also appear rational. This is why the Arguer is expected to respond to objections and criticisms from others, and not ignore them or sweep them under the carpet. It's not just that sweeping them aside would not be rational and hence not be in keeping with the spirit of the practice. It's that it would be such an obvious violation of it—and it would be seen to be such."<ref namevuln/> References

Richard Dawson Busk (21 June 1895 — 24 December 1961) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of W. G. Busk, he was born at Marylebone in June 1895. He was educated at Marlborough College, where he played cricket, rugby and rackets for the college. While still a schoolboy at Marlborough College, Busk played minor counties cricket for Dorset in the Minor Counties Championship. From Marlborough, he attended the Royal Military College and was commissioned into the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers as a second lieutenant in December 1914, five months into the First World War. He was promoted to lieutenant in February 1916.
Following the war, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1919, against the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team and Surrey. The following year, he made one first-class appearance for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the British Army cricket team, and played for the MCC again in 1923 against Scotland at Lord's. In the Royal Lancers, he was promoted to captain in March 1921, before being invalided due to ill health in March 1923. Thereafter, he was employed by the Air Ministry. He played minor counties cricket for Dorset until 1939, making 142 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship since his debut in 1912. In later life, Busk was an officer with the Dorset Special Constabulary, holding the rank of assistant-commandant.

Nicolas Bachelier (1485–1557) was a French surveyor, architect, and sculptor who particularly worked in Toulouse.
Bachelier is famous in Toulouse for having been the architect, proven or presumed, of several hôtels particuliers of the Renaissance, as well as for his religious sculptures. He was particularly renowned for his great scholarly culture.
In 1539, Bachelier and his colleague Arnaud Casanove, who described themselves as expert levelers, proposed a survey for a canal from Toulouse to Carcassonne to Francis I. Francis I had previously discussed the possibility of such a canal with Leonardo da Vinci. They also proposed that barges could either float down the Garonne River to Bordeaux or could traverse a canal parallel to the river. Francis I approved their plans which included a lock-free canal of variable depth. These plans proved to be inaccurate and could not be executed. In 1598, Henri IV re-examined the plans, but nothing was done until Pierre Paul Riquet began the successful endeavor of the Canal du Midi in 1662.<ref name='biodict'/>
Among others, the following prestigious buildings are attributed to him:
* Hôtel de Bagis (1538)
* Hôtel de Guillaume de Bernuy (1540-1544)
* Hôtel d'Assézat (for the two classical façades, 1555–1556)
* Medallions of Hôtel Jean de Pins and Hôtel Thomas de Montval
* Possibly some of the telamons of Hôtel du Vieux-Raisin

S. R. Bommai v. Union of India
|
S. R. Bommai v. Union of India ([[case citation|[1994] 2 SCR 644 : AIR 1994 SC 1918 : (1994)3 SCC1]]) is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of India, where the Court discussed at length provisions of Article 356 of the Constitution of India and related issues. This case had huge impact on Centre-State Relations. The judgement attempted to curb blatant misuse of Article 356 of the Constitution of India, which allowed President's rule to be imposed over state governments.
Background
Article 356 deals with imposition of President's Rule over a State of India. When a state is under President's Rule, the elected state government (led by the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers) is dismissed and the Council of Ministers is suspended at legislature, and administration is conducted directly by the Governor of the state. The Governor is an appointee of the President and thus, effectively, a functionary of the Union Government (the central or federal government). Thus, the imposition of President's Rule negates the federal character of the Indian political system, where administration is typically shared between the Union and State governments. It also militates against the democratic doctrine of popular sovereignty, since an elected government is suspended. These reasons have made use of Article 356 controversial. Nevertheless, it was used repeatedly by central governments to suspend state governments (of opposite political parties) based on genuine reasons or trumped-up excuses.

Bo Schack is a Danish lawyer. On 5 January 2010 he was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General in the Central African Republic. This appointment is in addition to the nominations in October 2009 as the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, as well as UNDP Resident Representative in the country. Since 1985 he has been working for United Nations primarily in the humanitarian field.
Biography
Bo Schack finished his law degree from the University of Copenhagen in 1982. He joined the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in August 1985 after having worked as an Associate Attorney in Copenhagen and with the Danish Ministry of Industry. In addition between 1983 and 1984 he studied International Law at the European College in Bruges, Belgium and obtained in 1998 a master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the Open University Business School, United Kingdom.
Between 1985 and until the appointment as Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General, Bo Schack was working for UNHCR in a number of legal and protection oriented functions starting in Senegal, (1985 to 1988), Hong Kong, (1988 to 1991), UNHCR Headquarters, Asia Bureau, (1991 to 1994), the UNHCR Special Operation in the former Yugoslavia (1994 to 1997), Sri Lanka (1997 to 2000). In 2000 he was appointed to Iran as the Deputy Representative before after a three years assignment being appointed in 2003 as Head of the Policy Unit, Europe Bureau, UNHCR Headquarters. From 2007 to 2009 he was the UNHCR Representative in Burundi. The years with UNHCR allowed Bo Schack important humanitarian and management experience from a number of regions in the world. The functions were mainly associated with negotiations involving all those affected by or involved in refugee situations, internal displacement and repatriation operations. In particular this has been related to the status and treatment of refugees and internally displaced, access for humanitarian assistance, negotiations on agreements linked to voluntary repatriation and return of displaced. The responsibilities took a turn towards more broader UN involvement in 2007 with the focus in Burundi on more development oriented reintegration programmes for Burundian refugees coming home from primarily Tanzania.
This extensive experience in the many areas of the United Nations work will be important for his functions in the Central African Republic within the newly established United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic (BINUCA). The primary role of the United Nations in the country are linked to further initiatives for the consolidation of the peace, the support to the government in development of the country as well as coordinating the continuing humanitarian assistance being provided by UN Agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

Feminism in Greece
|
<!-- "none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see WP:SDNONE -->
While feminist ideology started gaining popularity in the mid-19th and early 20th century in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the United States, and slowly the rest of the world, the movement did not gain common traction in Greece until almost a century later.
The first change came in 1952 when Greek women gained the right to vote. However, changes of day-to-day significance did not come until a few decades later with the reforms of family law in 1983. Greece signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and ratified it in 1983.
In larger cities like Athens, younger women have a more integrated role in society and the community; One of the underlying ideas that fuel this structure is that women are "naturally" associated with the domestic area of the workforce, which carries a smaller weight than the larger workforce that men are typically involved in.
History
1830-1950
Kalliroi Parren (1859-1940), born Siganou, also spelled Callirrhoe Parren, is often credited with beginning the feminist movement in Greece with her creation and publication of her newspaper, Ephemeris ton kyrion (''Ladies' Journal''), in 1887. Parren's newspaper soon became a hallmark of social change, working as both a forum for promoting progressive ideals and disseminating information. Her newspapers influence spanned the decades to come and were of high literary quality, drawing attention to the "women question" and the changing role of women in Greece. Parren's vision marked a new era that lasted well into the first half of the twentieth century that emphasized social justice and equality between the sexes and that this began with dramatic social change within the traditional family structure.
In 1872, Kalliopi Kehajia (1839-1905) founded the Society for Promoting Women's Education. Kalliroi Parren founded the Union for the Emancipation of Women in 1894 and the Union of Greek Women in 1896, although both avoided calls for the controversial cause of women's suffrage. The National Council of Greek Women, an umbrella organization for some fifty charity associations for women and children, was founded in 1911. Progress on the educational front was achieved with the admission of women to the University of Athens, but it was only in 1920 that Avra Theodoropoulou founded the Greek League for Women's Rights, specifically demanding progress on political rights and suffrage.After 1950From the 1950s onward, Greece, was a nation state. Newly out from underneath the Ottoman Empire's rule of the last 4 centuries, the Greek population experienced peace, but a new question arose about how to further direct the country in its newfound freedom. The desire to westernize, while also reinvigorate Greek cultures and traditions manifested. Soon rose the question of what exactly to do with the roles already present in society, specifically the role of women, coined the "women question". Feminism and more progressive views on women's rights became popular, as did Eurocommunism, causing tension.
In 1952, Law 2159 was enacted, giving women the right to vote. The first general election in which a woman could vote was held in 1956. The new family law also provided for civil marriage and liberalized the divorce law. Adultery was also decriminalized in 1983. Law 3719/2008 further dealt with family issues, including Article 14 of the law, which reduced the separation period (necessary before a divorce in certain circumstances) from 4 years to 2 years., who launched the feminist movement in Greece with the founding of a newspaper, Ephimeris ton kirion (''Women's Journal''), in 1887. ]]In regards to reproduction, the future and size of a family has been traditionally seen as dependent on the wishes of the husband. In a countrywide study by Yannis Tauntas et al., the majority of women in Greece felt that contraception was the responsibility of the man. Placing the responsibility of family planning in the man's hands is largely due to a view of passive sexuality in which Greek women refer to themselves as "becoming impregnated, without taking part in the process.
Greece ratified in 2009 the Lanzarote Convention, the first international treaty that addresses child sexual abuse that occurs within the home or family.
Greece also ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings in 2014.
In the workforce
in average gross hourly earnings according to Eurostat 2014. Greece still has one of the highest gender pay gaps in Europe.]]
Efharis Petridou was the first female lawyer in Greece; in 1925 she joined the Athens Bar Association.
In 1955, women were first allowed to become judges in Greece. In 2001, Greece had the second largest gender employment gap of the European Union.
Although the percentage of women in the workplace is lower than in many other European countries, the presumptions and attitudes towards what entails a job that are what make this statistic unsettling. As previously stated, in rural communities there are much fewer women in the workforce; however, many of these women have full-time jobs. Because a woman's time outside of the home setting is limited, many women have found that renting rooms within their house or setting up an in house hotel can generate a sufficient income.In religionReligious life is considered a fundamental aspect of life for a significant portion of the Greek population. According to a 2005 poll, 81% of Greeks believed that there is a God. This percentage made Greece the third highest-ranking country in the European Union for this poll. Additionally, the Greek Orthodox faith is recognized as the dominant religion in Greek society. In both urban and rural communities, women play an active role in Greek religion and in general women are more avid churchgoers than men. The idea of women being more dedicated to their attendance at church is seen across the Mediterranean. Because of this weak representation of women in politics, Greece traditionally ranked at the bottom of the list for women's involvement in the government. Greek women's limited participation in politics suggests that the stereotype of women being better suited for a domestic environment is still widespread in both rural and urban communities. However, women have made strides within the past few years, and in the 2004 election a woman named Prof. Helen Louri was appointed as Senior Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister. In recent years, the proportion of women in politics has increased rapidly, and as of 2014 there were 21.0% women in parliament. In the current 14th term of the Hellenic Parliament, there are 56 female members of Parliament out of the 300 total. Backlash Some young socialists were indifferent to the feminist movement, and some were downright hostile. Pro-soviet communists criticized women's committees for focusing on reproductive health and the right to contraception, saying they were distracting the wider population by promoting neo-feminist ideals instead of focusing on the position of women in the workforce. It was their opinion that the ideals put forth were "bourgeois" and would cause a divergence between men and women, therefore hindering working class solidarity. In response, those against this so called "neo-feminism" published literature and propaganda advertising the benefits of a traditional family structure. While men were no longer to be seen as the sole income earner of the household, women should still strive to be mothers, as a proper marriage is based on true love and therefore a child would cement that love. Birth control and abortion were also frowned upon, as it was the belief that if a woman had the financial support of the state when conceiving, she wouldn't need contraception.<ref name":04"/>

Patricia Hughes (radio presenter)
|
Patricia Rosemary Hughes (26 January 1923 – 8 February 2013) was a British radio continuity announcer and news presenter, most associated with BBC Radio 3. Hughes broadcast for the Corporation on several of its networks over the decades.
Biography
Born in Malaya, where her father was a senior executive, Hughes was educated at a school in Sussex. After returning to Kuala Lumpur, following the completion of her schooling, she was evacuated to Singapore with her mother when the Japanese invaded at Christmas 1941. Hughes was one of the first women to read the news on BBC radio, four years before Sheila Tracy became the first female news reader on BBC Radio 4. Under the insistence of Radio 3 controller Ian McIntyre, who objected to her "cut-glass tones", she was forced to retire from the BBC staff in 1983, on reaching the then statutory retirement age of 60. A controversial decision at the time, the author and television presenter Bamber Gascoigne described McIntyre as a "barbarian" for his action. Hughes was awarded with a special commendation at the inaugural Sony Radio Academy Awards in the same year.
In broadcast retirement, Hughes continued to use her vocal skills, recording audiobooks including an autobiography of Margaret Thatcher, and as the reader on the Radio 4 panel game Quote... Unquote from 1994 to 2001 when Hughes chose to retire again.
Having lived during her career in Twickenham, Hughes died at a nursing home in Winchester, Hampshire on 8 February 2013, aged 90.

ILane

iLane is a portable, in-car telematics, infotainment platform developed by Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (IMS) in Waterloo, Ontario. The iLane system provides any automobile access to cloud and locally stored content from the user's BlackBerry through the smartphone's digital wireless network. Using a variety of applications, iLane sends audio-only content to any Bluetooth audio device including a Bluetooth headset. The iLane platform uses the latest advances in text-to-speech (or speech synthesis) and speech recognition to let the driver control the infotainment system by voice only.
Applications
The iLane platform's most popular applications is email, it reads the user's email aloud through a Bluetooth audio device. It also has apps for smartphone calendar data, news, sports and weather by location, all controlled by the user's voice. Most recently IMS has added an app that lets the driver send and receive SMS text messages.
Features
The system is compatible with any email or web-mail account added to the BlackBerry messaging system including G-mail, Yahoo and Hotmail as well as any BIS or BES email account already registered on the BlackBerry device. The system receives online content using a secure connection to IMS servers through a mobile gateway which is downloaded from IMS to the BlackBerry device and then continues to use the secure BlackBerry wireless network. Local Bluetooth-to-smartphone security is provided by 256-bit encryption from the smartphone to the audio device but is also encrypted 512-bit on the device before it is broadcast Advanced Encryption Standard.
Critical reception
iLane has received industry recognition including Andrew Seybold Choice Awards for 2009 and 2010. and was named CTIA Hot For The Holidays in both 2009 and 2010 Award Winner for "Hottest Bluetooth Accessory."
The device has received widely positive media reviews for its operation and ease of use. David Pogue of the NY Times calls it: "…ingenious, polished and efficient." The widest criticism about iLane, has been related to discomfort interacting with a voice-controlled system and the unit's cost with the inclusion of a monthly fee. IMS has since lowered iLane's retail price.
Distribution
Hands-free legislation across North America has provided increased interest in iLane and similar in-car telematics systems offering voice control. Ford SYNC and GM OnStar and MyLink are examples of factory-installed infotainment systems also designed to mitigate distracted driving with voice-activated controls. One key difference is that iLane is an after-market solution and can go with the driver from car to car. The hardware that provides the iLane platform can be powered by any car's cigarette lighter and is compatible with nearly any Bluetooth audio system and smartphone using Blackberry Operating System 4.1 or higher.
In July 2009, IMS announced that Bell Mobility stores across Canada would carry iLane for use with smartphones on its wireless network. In the US iLane is distributed by True Wireless. Areas with hands-free laws that permit the use of a Bluetooth headset are able to use iLane legally.
Following the launch of iLane across Bell Mobility stores in Canada, the 3rd largest Canadian carrier TELUS mobility also began to distribute the product in February 2010.

Hermle Clocks (HUM Uhrenmanufaktur GmbH & Co. KG) was founded in 1922 in the Gosheim, Swabian Alb region of Southern Germany by Franz Hermle & Sons. By 1930, Hermle was leading in manufacturing and advanced operations. Even after the war, Hermle was still producing high standard clocks, along with producing clocks for other companies. The overall focus at the beginning of Hermle's life was precision, multiple times in their product line they touch on the idea of precision. In the 1970 they expanded to engineering and quartz movement clocks. Hermle Clocks is a German family owned and operated company in its third generation, Rolf Hermle joined the board in 1978. Hermle manufactures mechanical mechanisms, battery operated mechanisms, accessories such as dial, pendulums, weight shells, and do-it-yourself clock kits as well as finished clocks. Hermle is a manufacturer that sells to the wholesale industry and operates in over 80 countries with offices in Germany and the United States, since 1977, as Hermle North America (changed from Hermle Black Forest clocks in January 2011).
Hermle North America
The North America branch of Germany's clock manufacturing facility is known for creating the cases, known as carcasses, to house the movements that arrive from Germany. The current president of Hermle North America is Chad Eby.
After expansion in the North America region of the Hermle department, Hermle stepped into a direct retail market in 2002. Before this Hermle only sold to other clock shops and distributors. The direct retail market allowed for Hermle to have buyers purchase their clocks from home and without a middle man. Emperor was the name of the new direct retail market, still having the Hermle side of the business selling to shops while the Emperor sold directly to customers.

The Roncador oil field is a large oil and gas field located in the Campos Basin, off the coast of Brazil, northeast of Rio de Janeiro. It covers an area of area and reaches depths between . The field is considered a major breakthrough, as it involves world's first drill pipe riser, subsea tree, and early production riser (EPR) rated for . Roncador has 53 production wells, 29 injection wells, and is anticipated to peak in 2014.
Reservoir
Roncador has 3 billion barrels of proven recoverable oil reserves. Due to its size, the field was divided into four sections: Module 1 (28-31° API), Module 2 (18° API), Module 3 (22° API), and Module 4 (18° API), with subsequent division of the project into several phases.
**The Module 1, Phase One consisted of several subsea wells connected to semisubmersible production facility P-36 which started producing in May 2000, which sank on March 15, 2001, due to two explosions leading to human casualties. At that time, P-36 was considered to be world's biggest semisubmersible which produced 84,000 bbl/d and 1.3 MMcm/d of gas. Engineering and construction of P-52 platform which was built for a total cost of $1 billion was contracted to a consortium of Technip and Keppel FELS in December 2003. The platform became operational in November 2007 with 20,000 bbl/d peaking to 180,000 in second part of 2008. The peak gas production from this phase was 3.2 MMcm/d.
*Module 2 development consists of 17 long horizontal wells 11 of which are production wells and 6 - for water injection. Considered one of the largest in the world and weighing 66,224 tonnes, the P-54 FPSO vessel was assigned for production from Module 2. P-54 was converted from VLCC Barao De Maua large carrier at a $628 million contract with Jurong Shipyard, a subsidiary of SembCorp Marine and a $25 million subcontract with Aker Solutions which provided the processing equipment for the vessel. It became operational on December 11, 2007. This phase of the project boost the overall production from the field to 460,000 bbl/d.
*Module 3 development consists of 11 add-on and 7 water injection wells and includes the P-55 with production capacity of 180,000 bbl/d and gas compression capacity of 6 MMcm/d. The platform is expected to start production in 2011.
*Module 4 will have the capacity to produce 180,000 bbl/d and compress 6 MMcm/d of natural gas.<ref nameSubsea/>See also

After Battease landed a vicious combination that caused Dustin Day to put his hand on the canvas, referee Kenny Bayless did not score it a knockdown. Battease still received 38–37 score from Al Lefkowitz but judges C. J. Roth and Jerry Ross scored the bout in favor of Day, 38–37.
Battease responded with a convincing unanimous decision victory over Isaac Hidalgo, improving his professional record to 5–1.

Fairfax was a coal town in Pierce County in the U.S. state of Washington. The town was located on the Carbon River about south of Carbonado, Washington, on SR 165. Mining lasted only until the minerals ceased to be economically viable following World War I. Until the completion of the nearby high O'Farrell Bridge in 1921 (the highest bridge in the state at the time), the town was only accessible via railroad or pack train.
History
remains the most visible remnant of Fairfax|alt]]The development of coal first began in 1896 when the Western American Company owned Section 26, T.18N., R.6E which was more commonly known as the Fairfax Mine, a railroad linked Carbonado, Washington to Fairfax with the first shipment of coal being sent out in 1899. Pierce County was one of the only counties in Washington state to produce a coke and in 1902 the Western American Company installed 35 coke ovens and Fairfax was helping lead the way in coke production in the county. In 1906 the Fairfax mine had a total output of 20,000 tons of coal during a nine-month period. During the other three months of 1906 the mine put out 1,858 tons of coal during a 35-day period. In total in 1906, the mine put out 21,858 tons of coal. In 1909 there was an ad that the mine was looking for a coal mine electrician. In 1910 the Manley, Moore Lumber Company was looking to add millwrights and was willing to pay them $3.50-$4 per day. They were also looking for common laborers and was offering them $2.25-$2.50 per day to come work in Fairfax. These ads show that between these years the mine was making enough money that the town was actively searching for new workers. The most productive years of the Fairfax mine was short lived but for a time was profitable. The town is now a destination for hikers and is considered a ghost town.See also*Carbonado, WashingtonReferences

Hochwanner

| coordinates_ref | first_ascent 1870 by Hermann von Barth
| easiest_route = Mountain tour (from the south, partially trackless, Grade I climb in places)
}}
__NOTOC__
At , the Hochwanner (formerly: Kothbachspitze) is the second highest mountain in Germany after the Zugspitze (if the somewhat higher Schneefernerkopf is only considered as a sub-peak of the Zugspitze). In addition the Hochwanner is the highest peak on the main ridge of the Wetterstein (Wettersteinhauptkamm) running from Gatterl to the Upper Wettersteinspitze (Oberen Wettersteinspitze) above Mittenwald in an east–west direction. From the Hochwanner massif there is an all-round view of the Rein valley (Reintal), the Leutasch valley in Austria, the Gais valley, the Zugspitze, the Mieming Chain, the Jubiläumsgrat, the Karwendel mountains and far into the central Alps.<ref name"steinmandl"/>
Despite being the second highest peak in Germany and having a north face which drops about 1500 m<ref name="summitpost"/> (one of the highest rock faces in the whole of the Northern Limestone Alps) the Hochwanner has remained a relatively unknown mountain. This is due to its relatively inaccessible location, behind the Alpspitze and hidden by the Höllentalspitze. The more widely known, but lower Watzmann is often wrongly cited as the second highest mountain in Germany.
The easiest route to the summit is from the south from the Rotmoosalm (3 hours) or from Gatterl. Pathless in places or only recognisable by a faint trail it initially runs up steep grass meadows, later over a short rock climb (grade I on the UIAA scale) and then mainly over steep, laborious scree slopes to the summit. The route is sparingly marked with cairns.
The north face is a very long climb.
Hochwanner was first climbed by Hermann von Barth in 1870.<ref name"summitpost"/>Image gallery

As It Is in Heaven (play)
|
As It Is In Heaven is a play by playwright/actor/director Arlene Hutton. It premiered at 78th Street Theater Lab, followed by performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and at the Off-Broadway Arclight Theatre in New York City, where it ran from January 11 to February 5, 2002. The title comes from the Shaker song "The Saviour's Universal Prayer (Our Father Who Art in Heaven)", a Shaker rendition of the Lord's Prayer. The play is published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Background
Attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1995, where her first plays were produced, Hutton saw a play about Scottish female farm workers that intrigued her and inspired her to seek an American equivalent to its characters. Hutton wrote the play after visiting the Pleasant Hill Shaker Village near Harrodsburg, Kentucky, a restored community that the Shakers occupied for more than a century. A production was scheduled to open at off-Broadway’s 78th Street Theatre Lab in New York City on September 13 of that year. Two days prior, the September 11 attacks occurred, and on that night, the cast members responded by rehearsing the Shaker hymns performed in the play. The production later opened as planned. and it was revived in New York in 2011.
Song list
The songs used were (as requested by the author) to be sung a cappella.

Critical reception
The work has been well-received by critics. Calling Hutton "one of the most richly humane voices in contemporary theater," F. Kathleen Foley of Los Angeles Times described As It Is in Heaven as “amusing, intellectually stimulating and moving – a beautifully crafted piece that will endure.”

Michelle DeYoung (born 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States) is an American classical vocalist who has an active international career performing in operas and concerts.Early life and educationWhile born in Michigan, DeYoung was raised in Colorado and California, the daughter of a minister. DeYoung is a graduate of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artists Development Program. She won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 1992 and has been a regular performer at the Met ever since. In 1995, she was the recipient of the Marian Anderson Award. In 2009, she completed her Bachelor's Degree (that she had to put on hold after going to The Met's Young Artist Program) in Music from California State University, Northridge. Past recipients include Michael Eisner and Carol Vaness.
Career
Early in her career, DeYoung sang with Glimmerglass Opera and the Wolf Trap Opera, two companies devoted to fostering the careers and talents of young opera singers. The mezzo-soprano has since performed in leading roles on the stages of many of the world's best opera houses and opera festivals, including the Metropolitan Opera-New York City, the Bayreuth Festival, the Berlin State Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Houston Grand Opera, the New National Theatre Tokyo, the Opéra National de Paris, the Salzburg Festival, the Seattle Opera, and the Théâtre du Châtelet. She has enjoyed particular success in portraying Wagnerian roles like Fricka, Sieglinde and Waltraute in The Ring Cycle, Brangäne in Tristan und Isolde, Kundry in Parsifal, and Venus in Tannhäuser. Some of her other stage roles include Gertrude in Hamlet, Jocaste in Oedipus Rex, Judith in ''Bluebeard's Castle, Marguerite in La Damnation de Faust, and the title role in The Rape of Lucretia.

Hillbilly Bone
|
}}
| rev3 = Country Weekly
| rev3Score
| rev5 = Slant Magazine
| rev5Score One month prior to the EP's release, this song reached the country Top 10 and in March it became his sixth Number One. Shelton later reflected that "Hillbilly Bone" marked "the revival" of his career, saying, "I think I was existing up until that point. But that was me finally stepping out. Me finally being the guy to the public that everybody behind the scenes knew. And me going, 'You know what? I’m this guy. I’ve got to be this guy on my records and to the public.'"
The track "Kiss My Country Ass" was co-written and previously released by Rhett Akins on his 2007 album People Like Me. The track "Delilah" was named after a dog owned by Miranda Lambert, Shelton's then-girlfriend and now-ex-wife. Shelton's inspiration to write the song, which is about a woman who overlooks her friend as a potential partner, came while Shelton was pet sitting Delilah, who ignored Shelton and was anxious about not having Lambert nearby. Jurek called its material "formula contemporary country" and said that the label's decision to release multiple EPs instead of an album was "risky." Jonathan Keefe criticized the "compressed" production and the lyrics of "Hillbilly Bone" and "Kiss My Country Ass," but commended the recording for having a common theme among its songs.Commercial performanceThe album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums, and number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 71,000 copies in its first week of release.

Edward Waugh
|
Edward Waugh (1816 – 26 March 1891) was an English solicitor and Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1880 to 1885.
thumb|right|100px|Plaque in Cockermouth
Waugh was the son of John Lamb Waugh of Seat Hill, Irthington, Cumberland and his wife Catherine Miles, daughter of Richard Miles of Pates Hill, Irthington. He was admitted solicitor in 1840 and eventually became head of the legal firm of E and E L Waugh and Musgrove of Cockermouth. He was one time Registrar of the County Court and Clerk to the magistrates.
At the 1880 general election, Waugh was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Cockermouth, replacing the Liberal William Fletcher who had been elected at a by-election in 1879. At the 1885 general election, the town of Cockermouth ceased to be a parliamentary borough, and the name was transferred to a new county division. Waugh did not contest the new constituency.
Waugh married Mary Liddell, daughter of Thomas Liddell of Carlisle in 1843.

'''Bully's Acre (officially, the Hospital Fields'''; ) is a former public cemetery located near the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin, Ireland. It is in extent.EtymologyThe name is believed to derive from the graveyard's being a site for boxing matches, or perhaps from "baily" (bailiff), a nickname for the officials of the priory at Kilmainham.
History
There was a graveyard on this spot for over a thousand years. The graveyard is believed to hold the graves of some of those killed at the Battle of Clontarf, including a son and grandson of Brian Boru. Over time it became more famous as a pauper’s cemetery, as the land was believed to be common ground, and no charges were required for burials. But not only paupers were buried here, as many respectable Catholic citizens made use of the land, as after the Reformation there was no official Catholic graveyard in the city until Goldenbridge in 1828.
On feast days the cemetery was used for socialising which sometimes got out of hand, resulting in rowdyism and fighting. The largest of these was the "pattern" on the feast of St. John (24 June), when thousands trooped through the cemetery to St. John's Well, located across the road from the cemetery. Attempts were made by the Roman Catholic clergy on one hand, and the Government on the other, to have these gatherings suppressed, but without success until the 1830s, in the wake of a cholera epidemic.
About the year 1760 General Dilkes, Commander of the Forces, attempted to turn the cemetery into a botanic garden for the Royal Hospital and he caused the graves to be levelled, spread a thick covering of lime over the entire surface, and enclosed the place with a high wall. The local men of the Liberties, however, annoyed at the offence to their ancestors and relatives interred there, collected in a body one night, and fought a pitched battle against the soldiers of the Royal Hospital. Eventually, the wall was levelled and the place was restored to its original purpose.
The cemetery fell into decay towards the end of the 18th century. It was also a favourite target of body snatchers, as it was not surrounded by a particularly high wall or railings (though it did have watchmen). John Cheyne, an eminent surgeon working in Dublin, wrote to his colleague Edward Percival describing the body-snatching techniques in vogue about 1818: "The bodies used in most of the dissecting rooms are derived from the great cemetery for the poor called Hospital Fields – vulgo Bullys' Acre." Peter Harkan, a well-known Dublin surgeon from Sir Philip Crampton's school, and hitherto a very successful resurrectionist, fell victim in this cemetery while hunting for corpses. A party of watchmen spotted him and rushed towards him. He succeeded in getting his assistants over the cemetery wall, but when crossing himself, his legs were seized by the watchmen, while his pupils pulled against their opponents with such effect that he eventually died from the effects.
During the cholera epidemic of 1832 large numbers were buried here, which worsened the already congested state of things – the writer D'Alton stated that during the six months that the cholera raged in Dublin, 3,200 burials were made. Shortly afterwards the cemetery was closed by order of the government. By this time Goldenbridge and Glasnevin cemeteries were available for Catholics.References External links

William Thomas Francis Dodd (8 March 1908 — 13 February 1993) was an English first-class cricketer and police officer.
Dodd was born in March 1908 at Steep, Hampshire. Dodd made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Yorkshire at Hull in the 1931 County Championship. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1935, making ten appearances. A slow left-arm orthodox bowler, his first-class career was somewhat limited by the presence of Stuart Boyes in the Hampshire side, who was Hampshire's leading slow left-arm orthodox bowler of the time. In his ten first-class matches, he took 10 wickets at an average of 32.10; he took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 63 against Middlesex in 1935. Outside of cricket, Dodd was a police officer in Southampton with the Southampton City Police.<ref name"STEEP"/> He died in the New Forest in February 1993.ReferencesExternal links*

William Stewart, 1st Viscount Mountjoy
|
William Stewart, 1st Viscount Mountjoy (1653–1692), was an Anglo-Irish soldier.
Early life
William Stewart was born in 1653, the son of Sir Alexander Stewart, 2nd Baronet, of Ramelton. His family was from Donegal, Ulster Scots, and Protestant.
Career
He was appointed master-general of the ordnance and colonel of a regiment of foot. In 1682 Charles II created him Viscount Mountjoy and Baron Stewart in the Peerage of Ireland.
In 1686 Mountjoy served the Holy League (1684) in Hungary at the Siege of Buda, where he was twice dangerously wounded.
On his return to Ireland, he was made a brigadier-general. Macaulay styled him "a brave soldier, an accomplished scholar". In Dublin he was the centre of a small circle of learned and ingenious men, who had, under his presidency, formed themselves into a Royal Society.
In 1685 Charles II died and King James II acceded to the throne. James started replacing Protestants in Ireland with Catholics. In 1687 James appointed a new viceroy: Richard Talbot, Earl Tyrconnell.
In 1688 James asked Tyrconnell for good Irish troops to defend England. These troops left in September and October 1688. Tyrconnell felt it necessary to replace these troops and decided to raise four new regiments: one for each Irish province. The regiment for Ulster was to be raised by the Earl of Antrim, a Catholic nobleman of Scottish origin. Antrim, already in his seventies, hired 1,200 Scottish mercenaries (i.e. redshanks), making sure they were all Catholics. The unit should have been ready by 20 November, but delays occurred.
In 1688, Mountjoy commanded the regiment stationed in Derry. During the Glorious Revolution he stayed loyal to James while most Protestants declared for the Prince of Orange. Nevertheless, Tyrconnell did not trust Mountjoy and sought to garrison Derry with more reliable troops. On 23 November 1688 Tyrconnell ordered Mountjoy to march to Dublin for embarking to England. He then sent Alexander MacDonnell, Earl of Antrim to occupy Derry with his newly raised regiment, but when Antrim eventually reached the city on 7 December, he found the gates shut against him by the 13 apprentice boys. This was the beginning of the Protestant revolt in Ulster. Tyrconnell then sent Mountjoy back to Derry. Mountjoy succeeded to strike a deal with the town on 21 December, and two of the companies of his regiment, consisting entirely of Protestants, were let into the town. Mountjoy became governor of Derry but soon delegated the office to Robert Lundy.
Despite this success, Tyrconnell decided to get rid of Mountjoy. He asked him to accept a diplomatic mission to France together with Stephen Rice. After some hesitations, Mountjoy agreed and he and Rice left for France on 10 January 1689. However, Rice had secret letters from Tyrconnell for Louis XIV that insinuated that Mountjoy should be arrested. He was accordingly thrown into the Bastille and kept there until 1692. While he was imprisoned, the Parliament of Ireland passed a bill of attainder requiring Stewart and two to three thousand others to report to Dublin for sentencing; Stewart in particular was directed to break out of the Bastille in order to report, under pain of being drawn and quartered."
In April 1692 Mountjoy was exchanged for Richard Hamilton. On his release from the Bastille, he did indeed switch loyalties and joined William's army in Flanders as a General, losing his life at the battle of Steenkerque on 3 August 1692.
Family
He married Mary Coote, daughter of Richard Coote, 1st Baron Coote. They had six sons and two daughters, including:
Mary Stewart (c. 1677–1765), who first married Phineas Preston (1672–1703, member of the Viscounts Gormanston lineage), aka Archibald Preston, of Ardsallagh, County Meath. After his death, she married Vice Admiral George Forbes, 3rd Earl of Granard (1685–1765).
Jane Preston (c. 1690–1746), who married Alexander Breckenridge (1686–1743), founder of the New England colonial Breckenridge/Breckinridge family
Catherine Stewart, who married Arthur Davys (died 1733), an Irish Member of Parliament, representing Carrickfergus in the Irish House of Commons.
Charles Stewart (1681–1741), who became an officer in the Royal Navy and a Member of Parliament
On his death in 1692, his title passed to his eldest son William.
Through his eldest son William, he was the grandfather of five boys and four girls, including William Stewart, 1st Earl of Blessington and 3rd Viscount Mountjoy (1709–1769). Through his daughter Mary, he was the grandfather of two from her first marriage, including Jane Preston (c. 1690–1746) who married Alexander Breckenridge (1686–1743), Col. John Preston (1699–1747), and three more children from her second marriage, including George Forbes, 4th Earl of Granard who married his cousin Letitia, daughter of Arthur Davys of Hampstead.

Barcode Project

The Barcode Project is a section of the Bjørvika portion of the Fjord City redevelopment on former dock and industrial land in central Oslo. It consists of a row of new multi-purpose high-rise buildings, that was completed in 2016. The developer is marketing the project as "The Opera Quarter." There has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings.
Land ownership and responsibility for development
Oslo S Utvikling AS (abbreviated OSU) is responsible for the development of the Barcode. OSU is a subsidiary of Entra Eiendom AS (government property management organization), Linstow Eiendom (privately owned) and ROM Eiendom AS (the Norwegian State Railways' property management arm).
Location
The Barcode buildings are between Dronning Eufemias gate (Queen Eufemia's Street), which will be the main east–west thoroughfare in the Bjørvika neighborhood and is a stretch of what is currently Bispegata, and Trelastgata (Timber Street, a new street that during planning was also called Sporgata, Track Street), which will run alongside the rail lines to Oslo Central Station on the northern edge of the development. A line of apartment buildings will be between Dronning Eufemias gate and the Oslofjord, where the new Oslo Opera House has already been built.
Planning and description
The Barcode buildings occupy areas B10 through B13 of the general plan for the Bjørvik neighborhood that was adopted by the Oslo City Council in 2003—in the Bispevika section, east of the mouth of the Akerselva River. The general plan was based on an international competition to plan the new Bjørvika, which was won by Dark Architects (of Oslo), a-lab, and MVRDV (of Rotterdam).
The general plan specified five high-rise buildings, the tallest in area B11, closest to the Station Common (a new public square and bridge giving access to Central Station), rising to 100 m above sea level ("contour 100") and having approximately 24 floors. The other towers were specified to be lower in height: 70 m in area B13, 78 m in B10, and 81 m in B12. The buildings were described as a geometric system of volumes based on penetrating strips of empty space. The building plan for the Barcode buildings was approved by the city in March 2008 with few changes from the 2006 proposal.
The Barcode has been planned as a row of different buildings with views between them. The unbuilt spaces between the buildings are to be at least 12 m wide. Several of the buildings will have fewer floors facing the fjord than the railway. The buildings are long and narrow (for example, DnB building B is 21 m wide and 105 long). The stated purpose of choosing such dissimilar building forms is to avoid a massive wall between the fjord and the buildings behind the Barcode, and that the Barcode principle, with segmented construction, will contribute to openness, light penetration, and transparency in the built-up area. The buildings will have a shared basement, entered from Trelastgata.
thumb|PriceWaterHouseCoopers Building, 2008
thumb|Closeup of PWC Building
The Barcode buildings are, from west to east:
PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) Building. 18 floors. Architects: a-lab. 12 floors. A glass structure of simple form with a central entrance five storeys high affording views through the building, and 3-storey voids within the building visible from the exterior. The first Barcode building to be completed. In April 2008 a-lab won the "Europe 40 under 40" prize in part on the basis of this design.
Kommunal Landspensjonskasse (KLP) Building. 2 overlapping segments in contrasting materials and of differing shapes separated by a column of glass, varying between 8 and 18 floors. 31,700 sq. m. Architects: Solheim & Jacobsen (SJ). The western tower will contain 54 luxury apartments and the eastern the KLP offices. The building will have 5 roof surfaces, 3 of which will be gardens, the other two passive planting.
Deloitte Building. 16,950 sq. m. Architects: Snøhetta. This building will be between the KLP Building and the Station Common and will provide services associated with the station, probably including restaurants, on its lowest floors. It will be tall and narrow and the surface realized half in glass, half in dense elements. Its form was inspired by a calving glacier and it was initially referred to as "the Glacier."
Visma Building. Three office towers joined by two columnar glass atria, varying between 12 and 17 floors. 20,800 sq. m. Architects: Dark Arkitekter. The cladding is to make it hard to read the number of floors from the exterior, a so-called "pixel facade."
DnB NOR Building. Architects: MVRDV, Dark Arkitekter and a-lab. Three buildings linked by a below-ground "street" area, with restaurants and other shared areas on the first and second floors. Building A: 37,000 sq. m., architect: MVRDV and co-architects Dark Arkitekter. The center building and the new headquarters of the financial company. Offices will be grouped around voids and the exterior cladding will be 6-meter square "pixels." Building B: 22,500 sq. m. Architect: a-lab. The eastern building, on the longest site, will be set back behind a plaza on Dronning Eufemias gate and have offices on the lower floors, apartments with terraces on the upper floors. Building C: 14 floors, 13,000 sq. m. Architect: Dark Arkitekter. The western DnB NOR tower will be stepped, with a restaurant, bar, and terrace on the top floor accessible from Dronning Eufemias gate. The building will be clad in glass reflective panels tilted at slightly differing angles to reflect different fractions of the surrounding scenery. To open 2012.
The Barcode buildings are to include 145,000 sq. m. of work spaces (of approximately 410,000 in Bjørvika as a whole), providing 10,000 jobs. As of May 2010, the number of apartments in the Barcode is unclear, but possibly around 450. Approximately 20% of the space is to consist of about 380 apartments, projected to house some 2,000 people.
Public debate
thumb|left|150 px|PWC Building (right) and KLP Building (left), seen from Trelastgata
Some are enthusiastic about the fresh architecture, the "champagne apartments," and the unmatched opportunity to reshape the urban landscape and relieve pressure on a rapidly growing city without diminishing existing green space. However, there has been widespread criticism of the heights and designs of the Barcode buildings, both from architects and from citizens of Oslo. The Barcode has been described as a barrier between the fjord and the rest of the city that will destroy Oslo's character as an open, low-rise city with a lot of green space and cast a permanent shadow on adjacent neighborhoods for the benefit of a rich few. The architecture has been described as chaotic, as part of a trend of spectacular buildings, which within a few years will be seen as having disfigured the city. In addition to the disruption of the very large building site, the project has been described as hostile to the urban life of the city: unbalanced in favor of private business space and with too few shopping and eating opportunities for the public, and narrow, corridor-like passages between the buildings.
The project "is among the most protested ... ever in Oslo". A petition campaign in opposition to the building of the high-rises received over 30,000 signatures in 2007, and according to a survey by Aftenposten in December of the same year, 71% of the population of Oslo opposed the project. In 2008 a charrette was organized to find alternatives.
Archaeological discovery
During work on the Barcode project, the remains of at least nine wrecked ships were uncovered, up to 18 m long and provisionally dated to the first half of the 16th century. This is the largest collection of historical shipwrecks found in Norway. The Barcode site, like the rest of the Bjørvika neighborhood, was underwater until the mid-19th century. Approximately 1,100 clay pipes, Chinese porcelain, and other artefacts were also found. The Norwegian Maritime Museum has a selection on exhibit.

Paul Feiler
|
Paul Ludwig Horst Feiler (30 April 1918 – 8 July 2013) was a German-born artist who was a prominent member of the St Ives School of art: he has pictures hanging in major art galleries across the world.
Early life
Paul Feiler was born in 1918 in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany into a cultivated family of lawyers, doctors and liberal politicians; his father was a professor of dentistry. He was educated in Zwolle in the Netherlands and then at Canford School in Dorset, England.
His parents in 1936 moved to London: his father established himself as a dentist in Harley Street. Paul studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London 1936–1939 with artists such as Patrick Heron, Bryan Wynter and Kenneth Armitage. As an enemy alien in 1939, although thoroughly anglicised, he was interned on the Isle of Man and then in Canada. On his return to England in 1941, he was an arts teacher at Eastbourne College, which had been evacuated to Radley College in Oxford.
After World War II, he taught art at the West of England College of Art in Bristol: he became the head of painting there in 1960. In 1975 he moved to the disused chapel in Kerris near Newlyn in Cornwall where he would live until his death.
Artistic career
Feiler's first solo exhibition was a sell-out at the Redfern Gallery in London in 1953. He had four more exhibitions there in the 1950s.
The Obelisk Gallery in Washington DC in 1954 had the first of several solo exhibitions across America.
Feiler has paintings in many art galleries worldwide including the Tate St Ives, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, Bristol Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, and Kettles Yard in Cambridge.
The Tate St Ives had two large solo exhibitions of his work in 1995 and 2005. He worked in his Kerris studio every day until his death in 2013 aged 95.
Paul Feiler married the artist June Miles in 1945: they had two daughters and a son – the marriage was later dissolved. In 1970 Feiler married the artist Catharine Armitage: they had twin sons.

Hany Farid (born February 10, 1966) is an American university professor who specializes in the analysis of digital images and the detection of digitally manipulated images such as deepfakes. In addition to teaching, writing, and conducting research, Farid acts as a consultant for non-profits, government agencies, and news organizations. He is the author of the book Photo Forensics (2016).EducationFarid received his undergraduate degree in computer science and applied mathematics from the University of Rochester in 1989. He earned a M.S. in computer science from SUNY/Albany in 1992. His Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania was awarded in 1997. In 1999, Farid completed a two-year post-doctoral program in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the recipient of a 2006 Guggenheim Fellowship and a 2002 Sloan Fellowship for his work in the field. Farid was named a lifetime fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in 2016.
University positions
In January 2021, Hany Farid was appointed Associate Dean and Head of School for the School of Information.
Prior to joining Berkeley, Farid was the Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College and former chair of Dartmouth's Neukom Institute for Computational Science. Farid was well-known at Dartmouth for teaching the college's introductory course on programming and computer science. Joseph Helble, dean of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, described Farid as a pioneer in the field of digital forensics. Farid joined Dartmouth's faculty in 1999. He remained at Dartmouth until 2019.Consulting and media appearancesFarid has consulted for intelligence agencies, news organizations, courts, and scientific journals seeking to authenticate the validity of images. Research shows that humans aren't very good at discriminating between fakes and real photographs. Faked images may be produced for a variety of purposes: deepfakes are often used to fake the identify of a person in pornographic materials. Politically motivated faked images may be used to present disinformation and hate speech, and to undermine the credibility of media, government and elections. Authenticating figures in scientific publications is critically important because graphics programs, such as Photoshop, are frequently used to crop and to label figures. Such manipulations can be used to alter, disguise, and falsify the data.
In a series of papers in 2009, 2010 and 2015, after digitally analyzing a photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald holding a rifle and newspaper, Farid concluded that "the photo almost certainly was not altered". When the 2013 World Press Photo of the Year was alleged as being a "fake" composite work, Farid spoke out against the allegation and criticized the underlying method of error level analysis. In 2020, Farid and Matyáš Boháček trained a computer model to detect fake videos of Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
As of 2018, Farid was a consultant for the Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Times, and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency.
PhotoDNA
PhotoDNA is a system that uses robust hashing technology Farid worked on with Microsoft, which is "now widely used by Internet companies to stop the spread of content showing sexual exploitation or pornography involving children." In late 2015, Farid completed improvements to PhotoDNA that made it capable of analyzing video and audio files besides still images. In 2016, Farid proposed that the technology could be used to stem the spread of terror-related imagery, but there was little interest shown initially by social media companies. In December 2016, Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft announced plans to use PhotoDNA to tackle extremist content such as terrorist recruitment videos or violent terrorist imagery.
Counter Extremism Project
In June 2016, Farid, as a senior advisor to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), unveiled a software tool for use by Internet and social media companies to "quickly find and eliminate extremist content used to spread and incite violence and attacks." It functions similarly to PhotoDNA.
To operationalize this new technology to combat extremism, Farid and CEP proposed the creation of a National Office for Reporting Extremism (NORex), which would house a comprehensive database of extremist content and function similar to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children .
Truepic
In the fall of 2018, Truepic acquired Farid's start-up, Fourandsix Technologies. Farid started Fourandsix Technologies with Kevin Connor, a former vice president at Adobe Systems. The first product released by Fourandsix was called Fourmatch. Fourmatch was designed to detect alterations of digital images. The primary use of Fourmatch was to check the authenticity of images introduced as evidence in court.
As of February 2019, Farid was an advisor to Truepic. The underlying idea behind the Truepic approach is to automatically verify a photo when it is taken, with camera-based apps that assess the image using proprietary algorithms. Later versions of the image can be compared against the original to detect alteration. If this type of verification technology becomes an industry standard, it could help news and social media websites, insurers and others to automatically screen images they receive. GetReal Labs In 2022, Farid partnered with Ballistic Ventures to co-found GetReal Labs, a company intended to "protect organizations worldwide from the threats posed by the malicious use of manipulated content.". GetReal launched with techniques such as detecting whether shadows within an image are physically consistent to detect manipulated content. Farid described their focus as "deploying forensic techniques that afford explainable and interpretable results so that analysts can understand why we classify content as authentic or not."Personal lifeFarid was born to Egyptian parents in Germany. He grew up in Rochester, New York. He is married to the neuroscientist Emily Cooper. Cooper, also a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, studies human vision and virtual reality. Cooper met Farid when he spent a sabbatical from Dartmouth at Berkeley.PublicationsBooks

Fidelity () is a 2000 French drama film written and directed by Andrzej Żuławski and starring Sophie Marceau, Pascal Greggory and Guillaume Canet. Based on Madame de La Fayette's 1678 novel La Princesse de Clèves, the film follows a talented photographer who lands a lucrative job in Paris with a scandal-mongering tabloid and becomes romantically involved with an eccentric children's book publisher while resisting the sexual advances of another photographer. Filmed on location in Paris, Fidelity received the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival Award for Best Actress (Marceau) and the Golden Swann Award (Zulawski).Plot
Talented Canadian photographer Clélia lands a lucrative job in Paris with a tabloid called La Verite run by scandal-mongerer Rupert MacRoi. Clélia's mother once dated MacRoi years ago while working as a cabaret singer. Once she became pregnant with Clélia, she stopped seeing MacRoi and married Clélia's father. Accompanying her daughter to Paris, she tells Clélia that her strongest principle was honour, and encourages her to get married and settle down.
In Paris, Clélia gives a television interview and talks about her books of photography: a "study of absence" showing empty streets and deserted landscapes, and a study of fashion models without showing their faces. While taking photographs, Clélia meets Clève, a middle-aged children's book publisher who is preparing to marry MacRoi's wealthy daughter to bolster his flagging publishing house. Clève invites her back to his office where they make love. Afterwards, she meets Clève's brother Bernard, a Catholic bishop, and their father, very briefly.
At the La Verite offices, Clélia finds most of her co-workers to be disillusioned—all knowing that they "earn their keep on dirt." At her first assignment covering a hockey team that MacRoi recently purchased, Clélia finds herself in the team's locker room surrounded by naked players celebrating their victory. She takes photos. MacRoi is there and drags her through automatic showers to embrace her tightly. She says she could be his daughter. He still desires her, regardless. As he leaves MacRoi asks her if she will join his family for a dinner party. Before she leaves, Clélia has sex with one of the players.
At MacRoi's dinner party, Clève declares his love for Clélia before his family and fiancé, Genièvre, the sister of MacRoi. Genièvre responds by calling off their wedding and hitting him. Later that evening, following MacRoi's announcement of the purchase of Clève's publishing company, Clève's father collapses and dies. Clève asks Clélia never to leave him.
Clélia and her mother move into Clève's house. A nun takes care of her mother and it would appear Clelia wants to fulfil her mother's wish that her daughter settle with a 'decent man' before she dies as when Cleve gives her his mother's engagement ring she accepts. Later, she becomes sad reading lines from a W. H. Auden poem, that mention a ghost and being lost.
Clélia's first photos for La Verite creates a sensation and she is congratulated by her colleagues—all except Némo, a sexy young photographer with a poor background, who propositions when they meet. In spite of her attraction to Némo, Clélia marries Clève in a ceremony marred by the presence of La Verite photographers, a helicopter, and reporters, including Némo. After the wedding, Némo leaves his girlfriend, Ina. He delivers his wedding photos to Clélia's home, walking in through an open back door and handing them to her mother in bed. Upset and suspecting her daughter is having an affair, Clélia's mother searches Clelia's photos for images of Nemo and then collapses. She sees her dead husband and asks forgiveness. Clelia's honeymoon is interrupted and she travels with her mother in an ambulance where her mother tells her to go back to Cleve. The ambulance stops and she gets out, distraught.
Némo continues to follow Clélia. She sees him taking photos through her house Windows and panics, running upstairs and demanding her husband give her a baby. Nemo is now inside and takes photos of both of them having sex. Later Clelia learns that Némo was given this spying assignment by MacRoi who wants to find dirt on Clève. Clelia continues to see Némo but does not have sex with him. At home she takes photos of flower arrangements.
She and Ina travel by train to Normandy to attend a motorcycle event. During the race Némo crashes, and Clélia rushes to his side. He laughs as he recovers quickly. At the celebration afterwards, Némo gets drunk and talks about his investigation into the illegal organ trade trying to impress his father who says he'll get himself killed. Nemo and Clélia take the train back to Paris together and at the station she sees the ghosts of her mother and father looking happy.
After Némo is attacked by a gang hired by the illegal organ traffickers, Clélia asks him to show her the underworld he is investigating. Clélia resists Nemo's advances. When she returns home, Clève is convinced she is having an affair, despite her promises that she will never be unfaithful to him.
After learning that his brother the bishop has run off with a married woman, Clève says he will join his brother in Plougastel-Daoulas in Brittany at The Happy Inn. After he leaves, Clélia calls the offices of La Verite to inform them of Bishop Bernard's "love-nest" in Brittany, presumably to make it difficult for Clève to stay there. Clélia watches the television coverage of the bishop's humiliation but he says a person cannot experience the divine if they do not seize happiness.
Clève does not return to his wife, and after sleeping with a transvestite prostitute, he calls La Verite asking that they track his wife.
Clélia goes to Némo's house, and removes his shirt but they are interrupted by gunfire. Némo and Clélia are able to escape and Clelia tells him she thinks he is the youth she did not have.
The photographer from La Verite has photos of the attack and the editors consider publishing them. Cleve is present. The paper decides not to publish as the images may look false and could be interpreted as a setup.
Soon after, Clélia attends a publicity session with MacRoi outside the paper's offices. MacRoi presents Némo with a motorcycle for his work exposing the gangsters. During the session, snipers attempt to kill Némo, causing the bike to be set on fire. Clève is injured and Clelia runs to him but is pushed away. MacRoi is killed by a shard of glass in his eye.
After the funeral, MacRoi's daughter reorganizes the company. She fires her mother and Clélia, who begs her husband to come back to her, but he will not. On their way out of the building, he appears to have a heart attack and falls down a flight of steps. He dies on the way to the hospital, having given his wedding ring to Clélia. Again, the ambulance stops and she gets out in the street, distraught.
At the funeral she avoids Némo and leaves Paris. Sometime later, Némo is interviewed on television and talks about his new portfolio dedicated to Clélia, who has disappeared.
A few years later, while taking photographs in a monastery, Clélia, now with short hair, sees an English-language MacRoi Production film on TV called The Princess of Cleve about her life, directed by Némo. She laughs when she discovers his first name on the credits. She goes into the garden and places her wedding rings on a tree branch, while the ghost of her late husband looks on. He smiles. Clélia says, "Forgive me." Cleve retrieves the rings while she weeps.

Pago Florentino
|
Pago Florentino is a Vino de Pago from Spain. This means that in addition to having a proven track record of consistent quality, the wines have to be both produced from estate-grown grapes and also have to be processed and aged in a winery (bodega) located on the estate.
This Vino de Pago is located in the municipality of Malagón, in the province of Ciudad Real (Castile-La Mancha, Spain) and acquired its status on 20 August 2009.
The Estate
The 58 hectare estate, known as La Solana, belongs to the Arzuaga group and contains the following red grape varieties: Tempranillo, Syrah and Petit Verdot. It was purchased in 1997 but the first wine was not made until 2002.
The planting density is between 1,300 and 3,000 vines/hectare, and the maximum authorised yield is 10,000 kg/ha for the three varieties.
The minimum alcohol content is 12.5º, and the wines must contain a minimum of 90% Tempranillo.

Stony Mountain Institution is a federal multi-security complex located in the Rural Municipality of Rockwood immediately adjacent to the community of Stony Mountain, Manitoba, about from Winnipeg.
The Institution (medium-security) began operations in 1877, making it the oldest running federal prison in Canada following the closure of Ontario's Kingston Penitentiary on 30 September 2013. Immediately adjacent to Stony Mountain Institution is the Rockwood Institution, a minimum-security facility established in 1962.
History
Development
In the years immediately following Canada's Confederation in 1867, several new institutions were established in Canada, joining the existing Kingston Penitentiary (est. 1835): the establishment of the Manitoba Penitentiary (renamed Stony Mountain Institution in 1972) was commissioned by the nascent Government of Canada in 1872,
Lands were expropriated in 1872 at Stony Mountain, Manitoba, some from Lower Fort Garry, where Sir Garnet Wolseley’s expeditionary force had been stationed as part of the effort to quell the first Red River Rebellion of 1869-70. One of the members of that force, Samuel Lawrence Bedson (1842–91), did not return east following the Rebellion, but went on to become the first Warden of the new Penitentiary.
On 15 August 1877, with Lord Dufferin (the Governor General of Canada) and his wife Hariot Georgina presiding, the Manitoba Penitentiary was officially opened. 14 inmates, including a female "lunatic," comprised the original prison population transferred from Fort Garry.
The original prison building was soon joined by a number of other buildings, as a period of rapid growth commenced. Structures such as stables, schoolhouse, staff quarters, hospital, chapels, forge, and slaughterhouse were built. By 1885, some 44 cells were in use. Growth tended to be decentralized and the buildings came to occupy a large area.
Stony Mountain Institution is a clustered site, housing maximum, medium and minimum security inmates. There are seven operational units within the clustered facility, offering various levels of supervision, including healing units for Indigenous inmates (named NI-MIIKANA at the medium security site and AANIIKEKANA at the minimum security site).
This new wing became the only maximum-security unit in Manitoba. About 40 new positions were created with the addition of the maximum-security wing. The maximum unit at Stony Mountain Institution was completed and inmates were placed there in 2014.
Notable inmates
*After the 1885 North-West Rebellion, Chiefs Big Bear, One Arrow, and Poundmaker were all wrongfully convicted of treason and were imprisoned in the Stony Mountain Penitentiary. Here their health deteriorated rapidly and upon being released due to poor health, died shortly thereafter.
*Kenneth Leishman (aka "The Flying Bandit") pled guilty in 1958 to two bank robberies, and was given a 12-year sentence to be served at Stony Mountain Penitentiary, near his family in Winnipeg. He was released on parole towards the end of 1961, after just 3.5 years, and was described by Stony’s warden as a ‘model prisoner’.
*Thomas Sophonow was wrongfully convicted in 1981 of the murder of Barbara Stoppel; he was acquitted on appeal in 1985, and conclusively exonerated by DNA evidence in 2000. On the 18 April 1983, he was transferred from the Winnipeg Remand Centre to Stony Mountain Penitentiary, where he remained until 25 July 1983. For that entire period, he was kept in segregation, meaning that he was in a cell that measured for 23 hours a day, every day. While this may have been for his own protection, the conditions were harsh. During the one-hour per day that he was let out of his cell for exercise and a shower, there was no allotted place of exercise; he obtained his exercise outside in a narrow courtyard alone, apart from prison guards.
*James Driskell was wrongfully convicted for the murder of Perry Harder in 1991, and served a total of 12 years in Stony Mountain Institution for first-degree murder. In 2005, the Manitoba Department of Justice entered a stay of proceedings and called for a public inquiry, which ended Driskell's conviction without exonerating him. The results of that inquiry were released to the public on 15 February 2007.
*Ernest Cashel was briefly imprisoned at Stony Mountain for theft, until he was transported back to Calgary to face murder charges. His subsequent escape from custody was called "the greatest blow the Mounties had received in all their experience."
*Thomas Hogan, an Ojibway artist, served time for attempted robbery in the 1970s
*Robert B. Russell, one of the leaders during the Winnipeg General Strike, served a two-year sentence at the Manitoba Penitentiary.<ref name=":1" />

Hermann von Barth (5 June 1845 – 7 December 1876) was a famous German mountaineer.
Life and career
Hermann von Barth was born on 5 June 1845 at Eurasburg Castle. He initially studied law in Munich, where he was affiliated to the Corps Franconia. As a junior lawyer he began in 1868 in Berchtesgaden to explore the still largely unconquered Berchtesgaden Alps. From 1873 he studied natural sciences and, in 1876, deranged by fever, he committed suicide whilst on a research expedition in Africa. He died on 7 December 1876 in São Paulo de Loanda, Portuguese Angola.
Von Barth is most well known for his exploration of the Karwendel mountains. In summer 1870 he climbed, alone, 88 peaks (12 for the first time, including the Birkkarspitze, Kaltwasserkarspitze, Lalidererspitze, Große Seekarspitze, Grubenkarspitze, Dreizinkenspitze, Eastern Karwendelspitze, Vogelkarspitze, Wörner, Kuhkopf).
In 1871 he switched to the Wetterstein mountains and was the first to climb many peaks there as well. By 1869 he had explored the Allgäu Alps, climbing 44 summits, 3 of which were previously unconquered. He typically climbed alone.
In 1874 he published the book Aus den Nördlichen Kalkalpen ("From the Northern Limestone Alps"), in which he documented his experiences and tours. The work is viewed today as a classic amongst Alpine literature.
Legacy
The names of numerous mountain huts, trails, etc., are witness to the services of Hermann von Barth in opening up the Northern Limestone Alps:
* the Barthgrat (the crossing from the Katzenkopf to the Middle Jägerkarspitze (III), Karwendel, first conquered by Barth, unaided and alone, in 1870);
* Barthspitze (Karwendel, named in his honour) and Barthkamin (Risser Falk, Karwendel, first climbed in 1870 by von Barth);
* the protected climb from the Meilerhütte hut on the Partenkirchen Dreitorspitze is also called the Hermann von Barth Way.

Salman Khan noticed her and decided to cast her for his friend Anil Sharma's film Veer because, he said, "She looks the character – the sweet princess she is playing in Veer". After a screen test, Khan was given the lead role of Princess Yashodhara. She gained eight kilograms in order to be more convincing as a 19th-century princess. The film revolves around the 1825 Pindari movement of Rajasthan, when India was ruled by the British. Veer did not do well at the box office; however, her performance received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama observed that "Zarine resembles Katrina Kaif, but wears one expression all through". Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India concluded that "Zarine is unimpressive". Rediff.com mentions that "Zarine is average". Critic Subhash K. Jha called her performance a "Zarine's charm adds to her adorable screen presence."

Surfer Blood
|
Surfer Blood is an American indie rock band from West Palm Beach, Florida, United States, currently signed to Kanine Records, formerly signed to Joyful Noise Recordings and Warner Bros. Records. The band currently consists of four members: John Paul Pitts (lead vocals/guitars), Tyler Schwarz (drums), Mike McCleary (guitars/backing vocals), and Lindsey Mills (bass/backing vocals).
Formation
Founding members John Paul Pitts and Tyler Schwarz started playing music together in Orlando, Florida under the name Jabroni Sandwich.[1]) with the immediate goal of releasing a record and touring nonstop. They released their debut album, Astro Coast, in January 2010.
The band were widely considered to be the breakout band of 2009's CMJ Music Marathon. In March 2010, playing songs from their debut album, Astro Coast, Surfer Blood made quite a splash at the SXSW NPR music party (and returned to SXSW in 2011). In May 2010, the band played at the ATP music festival curated by Pavement along with other groups such as Broken Social Scene, The Walkmen, and Atlas Sound. Later that month, Surfer Blood headed over to Spain to join the lineup at the San Miguel Primavera Sound Festival. In August of that year, Surfer Blood finished out the summer playing two more festivals; Splendour in the Grass in Australia and Summer Sonic in Tokyo.
The band was chosen by Les Savy Fav to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curated in December 2011 in Minehead, England.
On October 25, 2011, Surfer Blood released the Tarot Classics EP on Kanine Records. The EP's first single "Miranda" debuted on Pitchfork on August 30, 2011, and "I'm Not Ready" was named NPR's Song of the Day on December 8, 2011. Artists that contributed remixes to the EP include Totally Sincere (Connor Hanwick of the Drums and Peggy Wang of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Speculator, School of Seven Bells and Allen Blickle.
The band opened for the Pixies during their Doolittle Lost Cities Tour in 2011. The tour came about after Pitts met the Pixies in an airport in New Zealand and they said they were already familiar with Surfer Blood's music. Surfer Blood performed a cover of their song "Gigantic" for The A.V. Club's music-video series "AV Undercover" which Pitts says he'd like to think that was "the needle that broke the camel's back when it came to the decision" to tour with them.
On January 9, 2012, they appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where they performed the single "Miranda" off of Tarot Classics. The next day, news spread that the band would be entering the studio in February 2012 with producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Built to Spill) to record their highly anticipated second album which was released on Warner Bros. Records.

In May 2012, the band confirmed via their Twitter account that they were moving to California on May 12, 2012, to record their second album with legendary producer Gil Norton.
On January 21, 2013, they uploaded a new song off their next album, Pythons, called "Weird Shapes".
In February 2014, the band announced that work on their third record had begun.
On May 20, 2014, the band debuted a video of them playing a new song titled "Island". The song has been played before back in 2011, during various radio sessions.
On September 16, 2014, a new song titled "NW Passage" was debuted on SoundCloud, as part of their split single with We Are Scientists.
On February 17, 2015, the band announced their third album 1000 Palms and that it would be released on Fierce Panda / Joyful Noise Recordings on May 12. The lead single, "Dorian", was premiered on BBC Radio 1 at midnight.
Original guitarist Thomas Fekete left the band in 2015 shortly after the announcement of their third album, 1000 Palms, due to a medical diagnosis for a rare form of cancer (sarcoma) that had spread to his lungs and spine. He was diagnosed in the winter of 2014. The band announced a fundraising effort to help alleviate Thomas' medical bills through the site GoFundMe on April 20, 2015. On May 31, 2016, Fekete's wife Jessica announced that he had died.
In April 2015, the song "Swim" was featured in an episode of the Netflix series "Daredevil."
Surfer Blood shared the video for album track "Island" in June 2015, in support of "1000 Palms".
In October 2015, the band announced that their longtime bassist, Kevin Williams, was leaving the band to pursue a new job in Austin, Texas. The band later announced that their long time friend from high school, Lindsey Mills, would be replacing Kevin on bass.
The band's fourth album, Snowdonia, was released on February 3, 2017. It is the first album the band has released following Fekete's death, and features Mills and guitarist Michael McCleary.
In October 2017, Surfer Blood released Covers, an album featuring cover versions of songs by Pavement, OutKast, and more. Following Covers, in 2019 the band released their second EP/10" vinyl called Hourly Haunts.
In January 2020, Surfer Blood announced that they would be releasing a new album called Carefree Theatre which was inspired by the historic landmark theater of the same name in West Palm Beach. The album is currently scheduled for release on September 25, 2020, according to the band's website, and marks the band's return to Kanine Records, the label that had put out Astro Coast 10 years earlier. A 10-year anniversary deluxe double LP version of Astro Coast is slated for release by Kanine on Record Store Day, August 29, 2020.Legal problemsIn March 2012, frontman John Paul Pitts was arrested for domestic battery in Lake Worth, Florida. He pled no contest and agreed to complete a court supervised program, rather than go to trial as it would interfere with his tour plans. All charges were eventually dropped.Discographyin Asbury Park, NJ in August, 2017]]AlbumsStudio albums{| class"wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"

Paul Smith}}
Paul Smith is a British blogger, writer, and former radio executive. An advocate of social media, Smith coined the phrase "twitchhiking" in February 2009 when he travelled around the world using the social media network Twitter.Radio careerSmith began his radio career at commercial station Alpha 103.2 as a 'presenter and dogsbody' before joining Metro Radio and then 96.6 TFM as a copywriter and subsequently Head of Creative, where he also presented football show "90 Minutes". In March 2003, he joined the BBC as a Programmes Editor in BBC Local Radio before moving on to BBC Radio 7 as Executive producer, where he recruited Richard Bacon (broadcaster) as weekday breakfast announcer. At BBC Radio Manchester, he launched and produced the Terry Christian breakfast show, before moving to Galaxy Yorkshire as the producer of Hirsty's Daily Dose. Smith then joined 100-102 Century Radio as Programme Controller, before leaving in September 2007.
Twitchhiker
In February 2009, Smith launched the Twitchhiker Project, an attempt to travel "as far around the world as possible in 30 days, relying only on the goodwill of people using the social media network Twitter." raising over £5,000 for charity: water. His intended destination had been Campbell Island, several hundred miles further south.
The project was covered by media around the world, including Good Morning America and the Los Angeles Times in the US, the BBC, The Sun and This Morning in the UK as well as numerous tech blogs and other media outlets. Smith has since presented to seminars and events about the project and how social media can benefit business.
Writing
As a writer, Smith has contributed to both the travel, technology and media sections of The Guardian, as well as writing for satirical site Holy Moly. He was previously the co-editor of consumer blog Bitterwallet.com.
In November 2009, Smith announced he had been contracted by Summersdale Publishing to write a book based on Twitchhiker. The book, Twitchhiker: How One Man Travelled the World by Twitter, was published in the UK in August 2010 by Summersdale Publishers and subsequently translated and re-published for the Taiwanese, Indian and Polish markets. A sequel, Tales from the Edge of America, was published in February 2013, with a foreword written by The Inbetweeners creator Iain Morris.Order of the British EmpireIn December 2019, Smith was awarded an OBE for services to Technology in Newcastle upon Tyne.ReferencesExternal links

Copper–tungsten
|
Copper–tungsten (tungsten–copper, CuW, or WCu) is a mixture of copper and tungsten. As copper and tungsten are not mutually soluble, the material is composed of distinct particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of the other one. The microstructure is therefore rather a metal matrix composite instead of a true alloy.
The material combines the properties of both metals, resulting in a material that is heat-resistant, ablation-resistant, highly thermally and electrically conductive, and easy to machine.
Parts are made from the CuW composite by pressing the tungsten particles into the desired shape, sintering the compacted part, then infiltrating with molten copper. Sheets, rods, and bars of the composite mixture are available as well.
Commonly used copper tungsten mixtures contains 10–50 wt.% of copper, the remaining portion being mostly tungsten. The typical properties is dependent on its composition. The mixture with less wt.% of copper has higher density, higher hardness, and higher resistivity. The typical density of CuW90, with 10% of copper, is 16.75 g/cm3 and 11.85 g/cm3 for CuW50 . CuW90 has higher hardness and resistivity of 260 HB kgf/mm2 and 6.5 μΩ.cm than CuW50.

Applications
CuW composites are used where the combination of high heat resistance, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion are needed. Some of the applications are in electric resistance welding, as electrical contacts, and as heat sinks. As contact material, the composite is resistant to erosion by electric arc. WCu alloys are also used in electrodes for electrical discharge machining and electrochemical machining.
The CuW75 composite, with 75% tungsten, is widely used in chip carriers, substrates, flanges, and frames for power semiconductor devices. The high thermal conductivity of copper together with the low thermal expansion of tungsten allows thermal expansion matching to silicon, gallium arsenide, and some ceramics. Other materials for this applications are copper-molybdenum alloy, AlSiC, and Dymalloy.
Composites with 70–90% of tungsten are used in liners of some specialty shaped charges. The penetration is enhanced by factor 1.3 against copper for homogeneous steel target, as both the density and the break-up time are increased. Tungsten powder based shaped charge liners are especially suitable for oil well completion. Other ductile metals can be used as a binder in place of copper as well. Graphite can be added as lubricant to the powder.
CuW can also be used as a contact material in a vacuum. When the contact is very fine grained (VFG), the electrical conductivity is much higher than a normal piece of copper tungsten. Copper tungsten is a good choice for a vacuum contact due to its low cost, resistance to arc erosion, good conductivity, and resistance to mechanical wear and contact welding. CuW is usually a contact for vacuum, oil, and gas systems. It is not a good contact for air since the surface will oxidize when exposed. CuW is less likely to erode in air when the concentration of copper is higher in the material. The uses of CuW in the air are as an arc tip, arc plate, and an arc runner.
Copper tungsten materials are often used for arcing contacts in medium to high voltage sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers in environments that can reach temperatures above 20,000K. The copper tungsten material's resistance to arc erosion can be increased by modifying the grain size and chemical composition.
Properties
Tungsten wt. % 55 68 70 75 78 80 85 90 UTS (MPa) 434 517 586 620 648 662 517 483 Thermal Conductivity (W/(cm K)) 2.4 2.1 2.01 1.89 1.84 1.82 1.75 1.47 Electro Resistance at 20 °C 3.16 3.33 3.41 3.51 3.71 3.9 4.71 6.1Specific Heat Capacity at 100C195174160
The electrical and thermal properties of the composites vary with different proportions. An increase in copper increases the thermal conductivity, which plays a huge part when being used in circuit breakers. Electrical resistivity increases with an increase in the percentage of tungsten present in the composite, ranging from 3.16 at 55% tungsten to 6.1 when the composite contains 90% tungsten. An increase in tungsten leads to an increase in ultimate tensile strength up until the alloy reaches 80% tungsten and 20% copper with an ultimate tensile strength of 663 MPa. After this mixture of copper and tungsten, the ultimate tensile strength then begins to decrease fairly rapidly.

Happythankyoumoreplease is a 2010 comedy-drama film written and directed by Josh Radnor in his directorial debut. The film features Radnor, Malin Åkerman, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Michael Algieri, Pablo Schreiber, and Tony Hale, in the story of a group of young New Yorkers, struggling to balance love, friendship, and their encroaching adulthoods.
Happythankyoumoreplease premiered at the 26th Sundance Film Festival in 2010, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and won the Audience Award. On March 4, 2011, it was released in theaters throughout Los Angeles and New York.
Plot
In New York City, Sam Wexler is a writer on the verge of turning 30 and is unsuccessfully trying to get his first novel published. On the subway, he meets foster care child Rasheen and decides to take the boy in for a few days. Meanwhile, Sam's best friend Annie, a woman struggling with hair loss due to the autoimmune disorder alopecia, tries to find a reason to be loved. Sam's cousin Mary Catherine considers leaving New York for California after her boyfriend Charlie tells her about a promising job offer in Los Angeles. When Mary finds out she is pregnant, her decision to stay or leave becomes complicated. Sam also meets Mississippi, an aspiring singer who is trying to make it in the city and works at a cabaret.
Sam's attempt to return young Rasheen to the social services fails when the boy is determined not to re-enter the foster care program. Determined to help, Sam tries to adopt Rasheen, but botches the application process in a fashion that ends in his brief arrest. Rasheen is finally placed with a new foster family, but Sam keeps tabs on his new situation, including providing the boy with drawing materials when he learns of his artistic abilities. Sam also works on bringing Mississippi into his life, with several setbacks, but by the film’s end, their relationship seems to be on solid ground.
Cast
Production
Radnor wrote the film while working on the first and second seasons of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Radnor had actors read for roles, wrote revisions, and sought financing for two years. Radnor received financing in April 2009 and began shooting in July 2009 in New York City, after six weeks of pre-production. The publisher Hannover House bought the North American distribution rights, but the rights were later acquired by Anchor Bay Films.ReleaseHappythankyoumoreplease was selected to screen at the 26th Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered on January 22, 2010. At the festival, the film won the Audience Award in the Dramatic category. The film was also screened as part of the Gen Art Film Festival in New York City on April 7, 2010.
The film went into limited theatrical release on March 4, 2011, opening in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles. The film grossed $216,110 in the United States. One month after its US theatrical release, Happythankyoumoreplease opened in Spain where it did comparatively better, grossing $551,472.
It was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray disc on June 21, 2011.
Reception
The film received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 43% based on 54 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10. Metacritic assigned the film a score of 45 out of 100 based on 21 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe wrote though the film is "frequently funny and occasionally brilliant", the subplot with Rasheen is underdeveloped and "treats Rashaan [sic] like a puppy, a token of Sam’s worthiness as a person." Morris lamented that Radnor "raises the possibility of a better, more complicated film about guilt and ambition and self-doubt", but stops short of exploring these themes.
John Anderson of Variety praised the production values and the performance of Åkerman, but wrote "the characters are uniformly annoying, their stories insubstantial and the tone one of smug contentment." Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Sam Adams critiqued the film’s plot contrivances and commented, "Treating their problems like they’re the most important crises in the world is what people in their 20s do, but that doesn’t mean we have to go along for the ride."
Mark Jenkins of NPR was more positive, writing it "is among the better [[Woody Allen|[Woody] Allen]] knockoffs of recent years, even if a few of its riffs seem hazardously off-key." Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the film and wrote, "There's a point in life where being young starts to get old, but being adult seems like too much of a risk, and Happythankyoumoreplease presents people at that juncture - right before they take the leap. It's an observant and heartfelt film, with turns of dialogue that show that writer-director Josh Radnor really can write." Accolades {| class"wikitable plainrowheaders sortable" style="width:100%;"

Metcalf Bowler
|
Metcalf Bowler (1726September 24, 1789) was a Rhode Island merchant, politician, and magistrate. He was for many years speaker of the house in the Rhode Island colonial assembly, attended the 1754 Albany Congress, and was elected a delegate to the 1765 Stamp Act Congress. In 1776 he was appointed to the newly independent state's supreme court. A successful Atlantic merchant, he was financially ruined by the American Revolutionary War, and was in the 20th century revealed to be a paid informant for the British.
Life
Metcalf Bowler was born in 1726 in London, England. In the 1740s he came with his father to North America, where he established himself in the Atlantic trade based in Newport, Rhode Island. His success in trade made him one of the Rhode Island colony's wealthiest men. He is frequently credited as being responsible for the introduction of the Rhode Island Greening apple as part of his merchant business and horticultural interests. He was supposedly responsible for its early propagation and distribution from his estate in Portsmouth. In 1750 he married Ann Fairchild, daughter of Major Fairchild, another prominent Newport merchant.

He attended one session of the 1754 Albany Congress, at which the idea of colonial union was discussed. During the French and Indian War at least one ship in which he had an interest, the Defiance was commissioned as a privateer. He was chosen to represent the colony at the Stamp Act Congress that met in October 1765 to formulate a united statement by the colonies against the provisions of the Stamp Act, the first attempt by the British Parliament to tax the colonies directly. He sat as a judge on the panel that investigated the Gaspée Affair.
He served for many years in the colonial assembly, and was its speaker from 1767 to 1776. He served as an associate justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court from May 1768 to June 1769, and from June 1770 to August 1776, and as chief justice from August 1776 to February 1777. When Rhode Island declared its independence from Great Britain, Bowler was among the signatories. He remained active in state government, serving on its committee of secret correspondence. When the British occupied Newport in December 1776 Bowler was forced from his Portsmouth estate, and fled to Providence. There he operated a dry goods store and later a boarding house. He died in Providence in 1789, and is interred at St. John's Cemetery in Providence.
Unmasked as informer
In the late 1920s, when an extensive cataloging of the papers of General Sir Henry Clinton was undertaken, correspondence was found in which Bowler was revealed to be a paid informer for the British at the same time that he was being hailed as an American Patriot. This change of heart was apparently made in an attempt to prevent the plundering of his properties in and around Newport following the British occupation. It is not known whether he gave the British any useful intelligence.

Lindsay William Parsons (20 March 1946 – 12 April 2019) was an English professional footballer who played in The Football League for Bristol Rovers and Torquay United.Playing careerParsons is from the Barton Hill area of Bristol and played football as a schoolboy for South Gloucester Boys Club and New Cheltenham before signing as an apprentice with Bristol Rovers in 1961 at the age of 15. He signed his first professional contract with Rovers on his eighteenth birthday and made his League debut shortly afterwards. He stayed with Bristol Rovers until 1977, fifteen years after he originally joined them, and made a total of 358 League appearances without scoring any goals. His only other Football League team was Torquay United, for whom he played between 1977 and 1980, and from there he went on to play for a number of non-League teams in the West Country – Taunton Town, Gloucester City, Forest Green Rovers, Yate Town, Hanham Athletic and Frome Town, finally retiring in 1990 at the age of 44.Non-playing career
Parsons took his first coaching job while still playing non-League football, coaching Bristol Rovers' schoolboy teams between 1983 and 1988. He later gained employment as a coach at Cheltenham Town in 1990, and after Ally Robertson vacated the manager's position in 1992 Parsons was appointed to the position in a caretaker's capacity, and was later given the job permanently.
He later forged a strong working relationship with his former Bristol Rovers teammate Tony Pulis, working with him in various coaching and scouting capacities at Gillingham, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Stoke City, Plymouth Argyle, and at Stoke City again from 2007. In April 2013 Parsons conducted an interview in which he criticised manager Tony Pulis' style of play and stated that a number of players he recommended to Pulis went on to join other Premier League club's. Pulis then stated he has no problems with Parsons views. However, on 3 May 2013 Parsons was fired by Stoke for a "breach of contract".Career statistics

A-Z of Rude Health was a medical series taking a lighthearted look at sexual health. For every letter of the alphabet, a topic of sexual health was covered. e.g. A for Anal, B for Balls, C for Chlyamydia etc. The factual but lighthearted studio segments were presented in a semi-improvised format by Dr Phil Hammond and Dr Annie Evans after scripting discussions between the presenters and Mr Peter Greenhouse, while all three worked together at the Bristol Department of Sexual Health, and the vox pops and comedy pieces were written and performed by Kev F Sutherland. It was broadcast late on Friday night on regional ITV in the Bristol and West area.
The same production team, at HTV in Bristol, went on to produce the first TV series of The Sitcom Trials, also for ITV.

Whiteout is an album by alternative rock band Boss Hog.
Music
While previous Boss Hog albums were indelibly stamped with the guitar-heavy aesthetic of Jon Spencer, AllMusic critic Chris Handyside describes Whiteout as fully planned and led by Cristina Martinez. The results are a modernized version of the group's signature sound, "garage punk and new wave girl groups as refracted through a 21st century looking glass." SPIN called it "ingeniously slicked-up garage pop."

Divergence (statistics)
|
Discrepancy (statistics)}}
In information geometry, a divergence is a kind of statistical distance: a binary function which establishes the separation from one probability distribution to another on a statistical manifold.
The simplest divergence is squared Euclidean distance (SED), and divergences can be viewed as generalizations of SED. The other most important divergence is relative entropy (also called Kullback–Leibler divergence), which is central to information theory. There are numerous other specific divergences and classes of divergences, notably f-divergences and Bregman divergences (see ).
Definition
Given a differentiable manifold <math>M</math> of dimension <math>n</math>, a divergence on <math>M</math> is a <math>C^2</math>-function <math>D: M\times M\to [0, \infty)</math> satisfying:
# <math>D(p, q) \geq 0</math> for all <math>p, q \in M</math> (non-negativity),
# <math>D(p, q) 0</math> if and only if <math>pq</math> (positivity),
# At every point <math>p\in M</math>, <math>D(p, p+dp)</math> is a positive-definite quadratic form for infinitesimal displacements <math>dp</math> from <math>p</math>.
In applications to statistics, the manifold <math>M</math> is typically the space of parameters of a parametric family of probability distributions.
Condition 3 means that <math>D</math> defines an inner product on the tangent space <math>T_pM</math> for every <math>p\in M</math>. Since <math>D</math> is <math>C^2</math> on <math>M</math>, this defines a Riemannian metric <math>g</math> on <math>M</math>.
Locally at <math>p\in M</math>, we may construct a local coordinate chart with coordinates <math>x</math>, then the divergence is <math display"block">D(x(p), x(p) + dx) \textstyle\frac{1}{2} dx^T g_p(x) dx + O(|dx|^3)</math>where <math>g_p(x)</math> is a matrix of size <math>n\times n</math>. It is the Riemannian metric at point <math>p</math> expressed in coordinates <math>x</math>.
Dimensional analysis of condition 3 shows that divergence has the dimension of squared distance.
The dual divergence <math>D^*</math> is defined as
: <math>D^*(p, q) = D(q, p).</math>
When we wish to contrast <math>D</math> against <math>D^*</math>, we refer to <math>D</math> as primal divergence.
Given any divergence <math>D</math>, its symmetrized version is obtained by averaging it with its dual divergence:
: <math>D_S(p, q) \textstyle\frac{1}{2}\big(D(p,q) + D(q, p)\big).</math> Difference from other similar concepts Unlike metrics, divergences are not required to be symmetric, and the asymmetry is important in applications. Accordingly, one often refers asymmetrically to the divergence "of q from p" or "from p to q", rather than "between p and q". Secondly, divergences generalize squared distance, not linear distance, and thus do not satisfy the triangle inequality, but some divergences (such as the Bregman divergence) do satisfy generalizations of the Pythagorean theorem.
In general statistics and probability, "divergence" generally refers to any kind of function <math>D(p, q)</math>, where <math>p, q</math> are probability distributions or other objects under consideration, such that conditions 1, 2 are satisfied. Condition 3 is required for "divergence" as used in information geometry.
As an example, the total variation distance, a commonly used statistical divergence, does not satisfy condition 3.
Notation
Notation for divergences varies significantly between fields, though there are some conventions.
Divergences are generally notated with an uppercase 'D', as in <math>D(x, y)</math>, to distinguish them from metric distances, which are notated with a lowercase 'd'. When multiple divergences are in use, they are commonly distinguished with subscripts, as in <math>D_\text{KL}</math> for Kullback–Leibler divergence (KL divergence).
Often a different separator between parameters is used, particularly to emphasize the asymmetry. In information theory, a double bar is commonly used: <math>D(p \parallel q)</math>; this is similar to, but distinct from, the notation for conditional probability, <math>P(A | B)</math>, and emphasizes interpreting the divergence as a relative measurement, as in relative entropy; this notation is common for the KL divergence. A colon may be used instead,, where the KL divergence between measure <math>\mu_1</math> and <math>\mu_2</math> is written as <math>I(1 : 2)</math>.}} as <math>D(p : q)</math>; this emphasizes the relative information supporting the two distributions.
The notation for parameters varies as well. Uppercase <math>P, Q</math> interprets the parameters as probability distributions, while lowercase <math>p, q</math> or <math>x, y</math> interprets them geometrically as points in a space, and <math>\mu_1, \mu_2</math> or <math>m_1, m_2</math> interprets them as measures.
Geometrical properties
Many properties of divergences can be derived if we restrict S to be a statistical manifold, meaning that it can be parametrized with a finite-dimensional coordinate system θ, so that for a distribution we can write .
For a pair of points with coordinates θ<sub>p</sub> and θ<sub>q</sub>, denote the partial derivatives of D(p, q) as
: <math>\begin{align}
D((\partial_i)_p, q) \ \ &\stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \ \tfrac{\partial}{\partial\theta^i_p} D(p, q), \\
D((\partial_i\partial_j)_p, (\partial_k)_q) \ \ &\stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \ \tfrac{\partial}{\partial\theta^i_p} \tfrac{\partial}{\partial\theta^j_p}\tfrac{\partial}{\partial\theta^k_q}D(p, q), \ \ \mathrm{etc.}
\end{align}</math>
Now we restrict these functions to a diagonal , and denote
: <math>\begin{align}
D[\partial_i, \cdot]\ &:\ p \mapsto D((\partial_i)_p, p), \\
D[\partial_i, \partial_j]\ &:\ p \mapsto D((\partial_i)_p, (\partial_j)_p),\ \ \mathrm{etc.}
\end{align}</math>
By definition, the function D(p, q) is minimized at , and therefore
: <math>\begin{align}
& D[\partial_i, \cdot] D[\cdot, \partial_i] 0, \\
& D[\partial_i\partial_j, \cdot] D[\cdot, \partial_i\partial_j] -D[\partial_i, \partial_j] \ \equiv\ g_{ij}^{(D)},
\end{align}</math>
where matrix g<sup>(D)</sup> is positive semi-definite and defines a unique Riemannian metric on the manifold S.
Divergence D(·, ·) also defines a unique torsion-free affine connection ∇<sup>(D)</sup> with coefficients
: <math>
\Gamma_{ij,k}^{(D)} = -D[\partial_i\partial_j, \partial_k],
</math>
and the dual to this connection ∇* is generated by the dual divergence D*.
Thus, a divergence D(·, ·) generates on a statistical manifold a unique dualistic structure (g<sup>(D)</sup>, ∇<sup>(D)</sup>, ∇<sup>(D*)</sup>). The converse is also true: every torsion-free dualistic structure on a statistical manifold is induced from some globally defined divergence function (which however need not be unique).
For example, when D is an f-divergence for some function ƒ(·), then it generates the metric and the connection , where g is the canonical Fisher information metric, ∇<sup>(α)</sup> is the α-connection, , and .
Examples
The two most important divergences are the relative entropy (Kullback–Leibler divergence, KL divergence), which is central to information theory and statistics, and the squared Euclidean distance (SED). Minimizing these two divergences is the main way that linear inverse problems are solved, via the principle of maximum entropy and least squares, notably in logistic regression and linear regression.
The two most important classes of divergences are the f-divergences and Bregman divergences; however, other types of divergence functions are also encountered in the literature. The only divergence for probabilities over a finite alphabet that is both an f-divergence and a Bregman divergence is the Kullback–Leibler divergence. The squared Euclidean divergence is a Bregman divergence (corresponding to the function ) but not an f-divergence. f-divergences
Given a convex function <math>f:[0, +\infty)\to (-\infty, +\infty]</math> such that <math>f(0) \lim_{t\to 0^+}f(t), f(1) 0</math>, the f-divergence generated by <math>f</math> is defined as
: <math>
D_f(p, q) = \int p(x)f\bigg(\frac{q(x)}{p(x)}\bigg) dx
</math>.

Bregman divergences
Bregman divergences correspond to convex functions on convex sets. Given a strictly convex, continuously differentiable function on a convex set, known as the Bregman generator, the Bregman divergence measures the convexity of: the error of the linear approximation of from as an approximation of the value at :
:<math>D_F(p, q) = F(p)-F(q)-\langle \nabla F(q), p-q\rangle. </math>
The dual divergence to a Bregman divergence is the divergence generated by the convex conjugate of the Bregman generator of the original divergence. For example, for the squared Euclidean distance, the generator is , while for the relative entropy the generator is the negative entropy .
History
The use of the term "divergence" – both what functions it refers to, and what various statistical distances are called – has varied significantly over time, but by c. 2000 had settled on the current usage within information geometry, notably in the textbook .
The term "divergence" for a statistical distance was used informally in various contexts from c. 1910 to c. 1940. Its formal use dates at least to , entitled "On a measure of divergence between two statistical populations defined by their probability distributions", which defined the Bhattacharyya distance, and , entitled "On a Measure of Divergence between Two Multinomial Populations", which defined the Bhattacharyya angle. The term was popularized by its use for the Kullback–Leibler divergence in and its use in the textbook . The term "divergence" was used generally by for statistically distances. Numerous references to earlier uses of statistical distances are given in and .
actually used "divergence" to refer to the symmetrized divergence (this function had already been defined and used by Harold Jeffreys in 1948), referring to the asymmetric function as "the mean information for discrimination ... per observation", while referred to the asymmetric function as the "directed divergence". referred generally to such a function as a "coefficient of divergence", and showed that many existing functions could be expressed as f-divergences, referring to Jeffreys' function as "Jeffreys' measure of divergence" (today "Jeffreys divergence"), and Kullback–Leibler's asymmetric function (in each direction) as "Kullback's and Leibler's measures of discriminatory information" (today "Kullback–Leibler divergence").
The information geometry definition of divergence (the subject of this article) was initially referred to by alternative terms, including "quasi-distance" and "contrast function" , though "divergence" was used in for the -divergence, and has become standard for the general class.
The term "divergence" is in contrast to a distance (metric), since the symmetrized divergence does not satisfy the triangle inequality. For example, the term "Bregman distance" is still found, but "Bregman divergence" is now preferred.
Notationally, denoted their asymmetric function as <math>I(1:2)</math>, while denote their functions with a lowercase 'd' as <math>d\left(P_1, P_2\right)</math>.

Reception
}}
In his Allmusic review, Thom Jurek describes the release, concluding " Charlie and Ira took harmony singing to a new level and the creation of full-length albums far out of the sphere of one or two singles and filler. It's true that this is mainly for the fanatics, but it's also for libraries and historians of the music... This set is a treasure. Period."<ref name"AM" />Personnel

Sunland Baobab

}}
Sunland Baobab (also Platland Baobab, Mooketsi Baobab, Tree Bar, Big Baobab or Pub Tree) is a well-known enormous baobab (Adansonia digitata) in South Africa. The tree is located on Sunland Farm (Platland Farm), near Modjadjiskloof (previously known as Duiwelskloof), Limpopo Province. In one study the tree was carbon-dated and found to be an estimated 1,060 years old, plus or minus 75 years. Results of other studies have however suggested much higher ages. The tree used to bloom profusely in spring, at some stage providing a refuge to two pairs of owls, and other bird species. Most of the tree died in 2016 and 2017.
Structure
Before starting to collapse, it was 22 metres high and 47 metres in circumference. The trunk diameter was 10.64 metres (the Glencoe Baobab up to its 2009 split was larger, and the Árbol del Tule is also larger with a diameter of 14.05 m), and the crown diameter was 30.2 metres. The trunk consists of two connected sections, each with its own enormous hollow, and these are connected by a narrow passage. One third of the baobab tree collapsed in August 2016. This was ascribed to age and the natural hollowing of the trunk with time. The property owners intend to leave the fallen trunk section as it fell, allowing natural processes to reshape and assimilate the feature.Tourist attractionThe Sunland Big Baobab became a popular tourist attraction after 1993 when the owners of Sunland farm established a bar and wine cellar in its hollow trunk. The hollow centre of the tree was cleared of a substantial compost layer to uncover the floor at about a meter below the present ground level. A door was placed in a squared off natural vent in the trunk, and a railway sleeper pub was constructed inside, complete with draft beer, seats and a music system. 60 people once attended a party inside this tree bar. A wine cellar was installed in the second hollow, which remains at a constant 22 °C temperature thanks to the tree's natural vents. According to a study published in 2018, not only the Sunland Baobab, but "the majority of the oldest and largest African baobabs [have died] over the past 12 years".See also
