# Edith Constance Murray

Edith Constance Murray BEM born Edith Constance Blackwell (26 February 1897 – 30 January 1988) was an Australian puppeteer and schoolteacher.

## Life

Murray was born in 1897 in North Sydney. She was the first child of Flora Emily (born Fletcher) and Harry Le Tissier Blackwell. Her mother had been born in Australia but her father who had a tobacco shop had been born in the UK's Channel Islands. She graduated as a qualified teacher from the University of Sydney in 1920. In 1922 she began a marriage to an accountant named Rowland Charles Murray. She had two sons.
She discovered glove puppets and their ability to entertain and teach children while working as a governess for children at the Bidura House children's home from 1937 to 1946. The home looked after children who were expected to appear at court and children who were anticipating finding foster parents.
The Children's Library and Crafts Movement had been founded in 1934 by two sisters, Elsie Rivett and Mary Matheson The eighth branch was opened in 1942 in Katoomba. It was Murray who organised the first use of puppets in their movement. In June 1949 the Sydney Herald announced weekly shows for children at the Children's Theatre at Burnie Park, Clovelly. The theatre accommodated marionette and glove puppet performances and the children were encouraged to write their own plays and to construct their own puppets. The theatre's work was supported by loaned puppets (from William Dalziel (Bill) Nicol in Melbourne) and the Children's Library and Crafts Movement. Leading Australian puppeteers Richard Bradshaw, Norman Hetherington and John Lewis of Jeral Puppets were among those who demonstrated their skills at the theatre. Murray remained as the director of the theatre until 1982.
Murray died in the Sydney suburb of Waterfall in 1988.
# Charles Mahoney (martyr)

Charles Mahoney (or Mahony; alias Charles Meehan; c. 1640 – 12 August 1679) was an Irish Franciscan friar. He is consideres a martyr by the Roman Catholic Church, one of the Eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1987. Their feast day is celebrated on 4 May.

## Life

Mahoney belonged to the Irish Province of the Order of Friars Minor and spent some of 1676 at Saint Isidore's College in Rome, headquarters of the province in exile. Attempting to return to Ireland from the continent where he had been ordained to priesthood, he was shipwrecked and landed in Wales. He was arrested in 1678 and imprisoned at Denbigh. He went on trial the following year at Ruthin in northern Wales where he was condemned and hanged.
The documentary evidence is scanty. The British Museum has a copy of a single sheet entitled The Last Speeches of Three Priests that were Executed for Religion, Anno Domini 1679, from which the following transcript is made:
   An Account of the words spoken by Mr. Charles Mahoney, an Irish Priest of the holy Order of St. Francis, who was Executed in his Habit at Ruthin in North Wales, August 12, 1679. Now God Almighty is pleased I should suffer Martyrdom, his Holy Name be praised, since I dye for my Religion. But you have no Right to put me to death in this Country, though I confessed myself to be a Priest, for you seized me as I was going to my Native Country Ireland, being driven at Sea on this Coast, for I never used my Function in England before I was taken, however God forgive you, as I do and shall always pray for you, especially for those that were so good to me in my distress, I pray God bless our King, and defend him from his Enemies, and convert him to the Holy Catholick Faith, Amen. His Age was under Forty, He was tryed and Condemned at Denby [i.e. Denbigh] Confessing himself to be a Priest.
Richard Challoner based his account on this single sheet, but may have had another source, now lost.
# Christian comedy

Christian comedy is a subgenre of comedy where the material presented is aimed towards a Christian audience. The performances are typically held on church grounds or at off-site, church-sponsored venues.
The material often contains Christian references, although this is not a requirement. From 2006 notable performers like Victoria Jackson, Tim Conway, Sinbad and Patricia Heaton appeared on a DVD series for the Christian market entitled, Thou Shalt Laugh.
Christian comedy is increasingly being used as an outreach, with the idea that a comedy show is an effective method to bring people into church who may have never thought about coming. Christian comedy is also used as a method to renew and refresh the spirit of church members, based on the Bible passage that says laughter does a heart good, like medicine.

# Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels

Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels (English: German Publishers and Booksellers Association) is a trade association of the German publishing industry, based in Frankfurt. It was founded there in 1948 and merged with a similar Leipzig organisation in 1991 after German reunification. It organises the annual Frankfurt Book Fair, where the peace prize Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels has been awarded since 1950.

## History

In 1825, an association of German booksellers was founded in Leipzig, the Börsenverein der Deutschen Buchhändler [de]. When Leipzig was in the Soviet zone after World War II, the western part needed representation. In 1948, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Verleger- und Buchhändler-Verbände was founded in the American and British zones, which was renamed Börsenverein Deutscher Verleger- und Buchhändlerverbände. The organisation began using its present name, Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels, in 1955. In 1972, personal membership was replaced by institutional membership. From 1974 to 2000, Hans-Karl von Kupsch was managing director. After German reunification, he led the unification with the similar organisation in Leipzig.
The office was in Frankfurt, Großer Hirschgraben 17–21, next to the Goethe House. In 2012, the office moved to Braubachstraße [de] 16, to a building designed in 1956 by Otto Apel [de] and named Haus des Buches (House of the book).

## Program

The Börsenverein organises the annual Frankfurter Buchmesse (Frankfurt Book Fair). Beginning in 1950, the Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels has been issued at the Paulskirche as part of the fair. It supports (as ideeller Träger) the Leipziger Buchmesse, where it awards the annual Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding.
Additionally, since 2002, the association has awarded non-monetary literature prizes. This began with the Deutscher Bücherpreis at the 2002 Leipzig Book Fair with several categories including international books, and since 2004 has been replaced by the German Book Prize, which is only awarded to one German-language book each year.

## Memberships

The association is a member of the International Publishers Association, the Internationale Buchhändler-Vereinigung, the Federation of European Publishers and the European Booksellers Federation.
The Börsenverein is an inaugural signatory of the SDG Publishers Compact, officially launched on 14 October 2020 at the Frankfurt Book Fair. It has taken steps to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the publishing industry, including the establishment of a sustainability working group with three task forces to focus on production and logistics (Task Force 1), sustainability reporting (Task Force 2) and sustainable operations for all sizes of publishing companies (Task Force 3).

# Independent candidates in the 1999 Manitoba provincial election

## Don Jessiman (Brandon East)

Jessiman was born in Wellwood, Manitoba, and has lived in Brandon for all of his adult life. He worked as a Western Regional Manager for the provincial government's Driver and Vehicle Licensing, and is now retired. He was a city councillor, having represented Brandon's Green Acres Ward (Ward 10) from 1995 until 2010 when he lost to Jan Chaboyer. Jessiman has also been a director for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
In 1998, he supported the construction of a new Maple Leaf Hog Plant in the area. In 1999, he participated in a federal task force on project funding in western Canada.
Jessiman was a member of the New Democratic Party when he was first elected in 1995. His participation in the 1999 provincial election was a surprise to most political observers. He filed his nomination papers minutes before the deadline, saying that none of the parties were sufficiently focused on seniors or housing for young people. He was 67 years old during the election.
Electoral record :
| Election | Division | Party | Votes | % | Place | Winner |
| 1995 Brandon | Council, Ward Ten | n/a | 616 | | 1/3 | himself |

## Peter Juba (Point Douglas)

Juba ran for Mayor of Winnipeg in 1986 and finished third in a field of ten candidates, behind frontrunners William Norrie and Russell Doern. Juba's relatively strong showing may have been partly the result of voters confusing him with Stephen Juba, who served as Winnipeg's mayor from 1957 to 1977. Peter Juba supported lower property taxes and a wage reduction for senior government officials and claimed not to know if he was related to Stephen Juba.
He received 360 votes (5.75%) in the 1999 election, finishing last in a field of four candidates. The winner was George Hickes of the New Democratic Party.
Juba later contested the Mynarski ward in the 2002 Winnipeg municipal elections and placed third against Harry Lazarenko with 1,138 votes.

# Groundnut pyramids

Groundnut pyramids were pyramid-like structures made from groundnut sacks. The pyramids were built in northern Nigerian cities such as Kano, where groundnut production was a key part of the economy. They were viewed as both a tourist attraction and a symbol of wealth. In the 1960s and 70s, as production in Nigeria shifted from agriculture to oil, the groundnut pyramids disappeared. Recently, the Nigerian government has made efforts to revive the groundnut industry and rebuild the pyramids.

## History

Groundnut pyramids were the invention of Alhassan Dantata, a prominent nut trader. Dantata came to Kano in the year 1919 and within five years was one of the most successful businessmen, supplying the Royal Niger Company (RNC) with most of their groundnuts. Dantata's company kept their groundnuts at a facility in Kofar Nassarawa, and they stacked the bags in the shape of a pyramid before they were shipped. One groundnut pyramid could be made from as much as 15,000 full groundnut bags. A journalist who visited a former groundnut pyramid site in Kano reported that the land was now a football field.
Groundnut pyramids were built all across northern Nigeria, in cities like Kofar Mazugal, Brigade, Bebeji, Malam Madori and Dawakin Kudu. The pyramids became synonymous with Nigeria's agricultural wealth; a postage stamp even featured a groundnut pyramid. However, as groundnut production declined in the 1970s and 80s the groundnut pyramids disappeared and were replaced with buildings.

## Modern efforts

On February 24, 2014, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development launched a groundnut value chain project. This project is a joint venture between the Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). Their aim is twofold: to increase Nigeria's groundnut production and rebuild the groundnut pyramids. President Goodluck Jonathan reiterated the government's desire to rebuild the pyramids in a bridge dedication speech in March 2015.
# Renault 40CV

The Renault 40CV is a full-size luxury car produced by the French vehicle manufacturer Renault from 1911 to 1928.
It was sold in many variations which were known by two letter names such as the CG, ES and JP. Originally launched with a 6-cylinder 7.5-litre engine (7,539 cc (460 cu in)), this was replaced by a larger 9.1-litre 9,120 cc (557 cu in) engine when the "Type HF" version of the 40CV replaced the "Type HD" version in August 1920. In 1922 the 40CV was fitted with a hydraulic servo-brake system. The 40 CV was replaced by the Renault Reinastella in 1928.
A 40CV won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1925, and a modified single-seater NM became well known in 1926 for being able to cover 80.5 kilometres (50 mi) at a speed of 190 km/h (118.1 mph) and broke the 24-hour record by covering 4,167.57 km (2,589.6 mi) at an average speed of 173.6 km/h (107.9 mph).
Between 1920 and 1928 the Renault 40CV served as official transport for French presidents Alexandre Millerand and Gaston Doumergue, replacing a role previously filled by the Panhard 20CV.
