# Liptako

Liptako is an historic region of West Africa. It today falls in eastern Burkina Faso, southwestern Niger and a small portion of southeast central Mali. A hilly region beginning on the right back of the Niger river, Liptako is usually associated with the Liptako Emirate, an early 19th-century Fulani Islamic state, founded by Brahima Saidu. A modern remnant of the emirate continues to exist as a non-sovereign monarchy. The current emir, Ousmane Amirou Dicko, lives in Dori.
With the semi nomadic Fula, the main historic population of Liptako are the Gourmantche, a minority population in each of the three nations, as well as the Mossi and Songhai. The other common name for the region, Liptako–Gourma, is a reference to the Gourmantche people.
Modern Liptako, most of which falls in 10 to 19 provinces of Burkina Faso, along with Niger's Tera Department and Say Department, and small parts of Mali, is a hilly and in parts sparsely populated area. As elsewhere, the Fula population, known as the "Liptaako" or Liptako Fula, are historically supported by semi-nomadic cattle raising and trade. Say, a nearby Niger River trade center, regionally dominant in the 19th century, relied in part on Fula trade routes through Liptako. In the late 20th century, gold and other minerals were discovered here, leading to the 1970 creation of the Liptako–Gourma Authority: a regional zone focused on the promotion of the area's mineral, energy, hydraulic, and agricultural resources. The zone covered by the authority covers an area of 370,000 km$^2$, broader than the historic Liptako, including 19 provinces of Burkina Faso, 4 administrative regions of Mali, and two Regions and an urban community of Niger. Major towns in Liptako include Diagourou, Téra in Niger, and Dori, Koala and Aribinda in Burkina Faso.
# John Sharpe (courtier)

Sir John Sharpe (died 1518) of Coggeshall in Essex was a courtier (gentleman usher) to King Henry VII (1485–1509). He was present at the king's death-bed as is evident from a drawing of the event by Sir Thomas Wriothesley (died 1534), Garter King of Arms.

## Origins

He was the third son of Christopher Sharpe (4th son of John Sharpe by his wife Janne Staunton, a daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Staunton of Essex by his wife Katherine), appointed on 26 Nov 1460 as Receiver of the Duchy of Lancaster for Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire and appointed Escheator for Yorkshire on 5 Nov 1468.

## Career

He held the office of Gauger of the Port of Bristol, in which office following his death he was replaced by Roger Chaloner, at the command of King Henry VIII.
As a gentleman usher, he received a legacy of £100 from King Henry VII. Other offices he held were: "Engraver of the King's dies for gold and silver coinage" and "Keeper of the change and exchange". He was knighted by the young King Henry VIII, his former master's son and heir, in the church at Tourney on 25 September (or December) 1513, "after the king came from mass under his banner". On 21 April 1515, he was appointed to the office of steward, receiver, surveyor & feodary of the Honour of Wormegay, and on 16 Oct 1518 was appointed Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster for Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire.

## Death

He died on 22 January 1518/19.

## Will

The will of Sir John Sharpe was dated 7 June 1518 and was proved on 12 February 1518/19. His Inquisition post mortem was held in Norfolk on 27 September 1520. His will mentions his three married sisters and also makes reference to his holding a lease of a "mansion and lodgings at Coggeshall Abbey". He also had a garden next to the infirmary of Coggeshall Abbey and had exclusive use of St Katherine's Chapel within the monastic church. Sir John's lease has been lost, but that granted by the Abbot in 1528 to his successor, Clement Harleston, locates this mansion next to the infirmary. Harleston similarly had exclusive use of St Katherine's Chapel, on the north side of the nave of the abbey church.
He bequeathed his property at Coggeshall Abbey to Isabel Damme, whom he called "the best assured and most faithful friend that I ever yet knew or could find in all my life".
In 1525, seven years after his death, "the bailiff is ordered to distrain [seize] the lands, tenements, and tenters in Poyntell Street called Gulles late of Sir John Sharp Knight, deceased, and before that of Christopher Sharp his father held of the Lord by the rent of £1 8shillings 10d per annum".

# Jack (hero)

Jack is an English hero and archetypal stock character appearing in multiple legends, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes.

## Examples of Jack tales

Some of the most famous Jack tales are "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Jack Frost", "Jack the Giant Killer", "Little Jack Horner" and "This Is the House That Jack Built". While these heroes are not necessarily congruous, their concepts are related and in some instances interchangeable.

## Nature

Jack is generally portrayed as a young adult. Unlike moralizing fairy heroes, Jack is often lazy or foolish, but emerges triumphant through wit and trickery, resembling the trickster or rebel archetypes. Some of the stories feature Jack's brothers, Will and Tom. The notional "Jack" corresponds with the German Hans (or Hänsel) and the Russian Ivan the Fool. Some Jack tales feature themes that appear to originate from Germanic folk tales.

## Jack tales in Appalachia

"Jack tales" are present in Appalachian folklore. As noted by the folklorist Herbert Halpert, the Appalachian Jack tales are analogous to many of the folk songs of Appalachia, being passed on orally rather than in writing, and tracing back to sources in England. In the Appalachian Jack tales, where the English original would feature a king or other noble, the Appalachian Jack tale version would have a sheriff.
In his book The Jack Tales American folklorist Richard Chase collected many popular Appalachian Jack tales as told by descendants of a man named Council Harmon (1803–1896), whose grandfather Cutliff Harmon (1748–1838) was believed by Chase to have brought the Jack tales to America. One notable descendant of Council Harmon known for the telling of Jack Tales was Ray Hicks, whose relatives continue to keep the oral tradition alive. The Harmon-Hicks family are also known for their unique repertoire of traditional British folk ballads.

# Bootle War Memorial

The Bootle War Memorial is in King's Gardens, Stanley Road, Bootle, Sefton, Merseyside, England. It was paid for partly by a grant from the local council, and partly by public subscription. The sculptor was Herman Cawthra, with assistance in the design from Hubert Ernest Bulmer, the borough's art director. The monument consists of a mother and child on top of an obelisk, which is surrounded by the figures of three servicemen. It was unveiled in 1922, and the names of those killed in the Second World War were added in 1948. The memorial was recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building in 1986, and upgraded to Grade II* in 2018.

## History

A War Memorial Sub-Committee was established in 1920 to arrange for the design and erection of a memorial for the town. The borough council agreed to make a grant of £2,000 towards the cost, the difference to be made up by public subscriptions. A grant was unusual because at the time the whole cost of war memorials was usually met by public subscription. Herman Cawthra was selected as sculptor. He worked on the design of the memorial with Hubert Ernest Bulmer, a member of the committee and art director for the borough. Some of Cawthra's models were exhibited at the Royal Academy before they were placed on the memorial. The figures were made in the foundry of M. Manenti, and the stonework was built by Henry A. Clegg and Sons of Chester. The memorial was unveiled on 15 October 1922 by Major James Burnie in the presence of a large crowd. In 1948 the names of those killed in the Second World War were added to the memorial- It was re-dedicated on 16 April 1950.

## Description

The memorial was built in stone from the Forest of Dean, and the figures are in bronze, cast by the Maneti foundry. The overall height of the memorial is about 7.3 metres (24 ft), and the figures standing on the base are about 2.1 metres (7 ft) high. The base of the monument stands on two circular steps, and has twelve sides divided by pilasters. Between the pilasters are bronze plaques inscribed with the names of the Bootle men who were killed in the World Wars. Standing on the base is a triangular obelisk with concave sides, which carries the figure of a mother holding her child. On the base around the obelisk are three standing figures, a soldier, a sailor, and an airman. Between the figures are three bronze wreathes. On the west side of the memorial is a plaque commemorating the Liverpool Escort Force of the Second World War. An inscription on the monument reads "In grateful memory of over a thousand men from Bootle who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War, 1914-1918".

## Appraisal

The memorial was designated as a Grade II listed building on 17 January 1986. Grade II is the lowest of the three grades of listing and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest". It was upgraded to Grade II* on 23 March 2018.
# Landestheater Niederbayern

Landestheater Niederbayern is a theatre in Lower Bavaria, Germany founded in 1952. The theater does both musical theater and drama under the artistic director Stefan Tilch. It plays at the city theaters of Landshut and Passau, the Theater am Hagen in Straubing, and other regional theaters. Its orchestra is the Niederbayerische Philharmonie (English: Lower Bavarian Philharmonic Orchestra).

## History

In 1952, the Landestheater Neiderbayern was founded under the name "Zweckverband Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater." Shortly after the end of World War II, the theaters in Landshut, Passau, and Straubing had begun operating independently. As a result of currency reform, the three theaters closed due to financial difficulties in 1950. In February 1952, work was resumed within the framework of the Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater, at the time still a loose association. The first program included five plays, six operas, and two operettas. In its first year, the theater did not have its own ensemble, so these first productions were cast exclusively with guests. In the same founding year, the current functional division was established, with the acting division being based in Landshut and the musical division in Passau.
On October 5, 1952, the "Zweckverband Niederbayerisches Städtebundtheater" was constituted under the artistic director Erik Wildhagen. Because they also played in venues in Upper Bavaria, they were renamed in 1953 by public law to "Südostbayerisches Städtetheater" (Southeast Bavarian Municipal Theater), the name the theater would bear for the next 55 years. In 1964, the district of Lower Bavaria joined the association. For financial reasons, the association was to be dissolved in 1968/69 at the suggestion of the Bavarian Supreme Audit Office, but the members of the association rejected this.
Because the number of non-Lower Bavarian venues steadily decreased over the years, the special-purpose association decided to change its name to Landestheater Niederbayern in 2008. The theater currently employs around 150 people, including 14 singers, 19 actors, and 42 orchestra musicians. The two departments in Landshut and Passau each have their own independent workshops, tailor shops, technical and administrative teams.

# Lala Harkishen Lal

He was a co-founder of Punjab National Bank, and founder of factories and banks Punjab Cotton Press Company Ltd., the People's Bank of India Ltd., Amritsar Bank Ltd.; the Kanpur Flour Mills Ltd. in pre-independent India. He was also instrumental in the establishment of Indian Associated Chamber of Commerce, the precursor, of the formation of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry. As politician, he served as the Minister of Agriculture of the government of Punjab Province between 1920 and 1923.

## Early life

Born in the town of Layyah near Dera Ghazi Khan in the Punjab Province, of British India (now in Punjab, Pakistan) into a Punjabi Hindu Arora family. Harkishen Lal was educated at the Government College in Lahore. He later went to the Trinity College, Cambridge on a scholarship and secured a distinction in Mathematical Tripos there. Upon returning to India, he worked as a Mathematics lecturer.

## Career

On the advice of banker Dyal Singh Majithia, to pursue "money" to do what one 'likes', Harkishen Lal started his career in business by becoming the Honorary Secretary of the Punjab National Bank. The following year, he founded the Bharat Insurance Company in Lahore and subsequently was one of the trustees during the launch of the newspaper The Tribune. By 1899, he quit the bar and involved himself in industrial and commercial organizations. He was recognized by Lieutenant Governor Louis Dane for establishing the Lahore Electric Supply Company which built the initial electricity infrastructure of Lahore in 1913.
Following this commercial success, Harkishen Lal encountered difficulties from religious extremists and the British colonial government. He was targeted by members of Arya Samaj, who reportedly created disturbance and panic among his banking clientele. In April 1919, he was arrested on charges of conspiracy and "waging war against the King." He served a brief sentence and returned to business dealings. Later he faced charges related to the People's Bank and died before the case closed. His son, lawyer and writer K. L. Gauba, retaliated against the Chief Justice with a book titled Sir Douglas Young’s Magna Carta, and served a jail sentence in contempt.
