# Charlie Pilkington

Charles Francis Pilkington (September 22, 1897 - May 20, 1974), known as Charlie Pilkington and The Meriden Flash, was an American professional boxer in the Featherweight division.

## Background

Pilkington was born on September 22, 1897, in New York City to Anglo-Irish parents. He was a descendant of Jacobite members of the Pilkington Family of Lancashire, England, who fled to Ireland after the Battle of Preston in 1716. Growing up in a tenement in East Harlem, Pilkington was advised by a doctor to pursue exercise to improve his health and took up boxing at the Union Settlement Association.

## Professional career

Pilkington learned to box by watching Benny Leonard, Harlem Tommy Murphy, and Irish Patsy Cline at his neighborhood gym and based much of his early technique off of what he observed. Beginning his boxing career with a win in an amateur match at the Union Settlement Association Athletic Club in 1915, Pilkington would spend four years in the amateur leagues, earning the name the "Harlem Flash". When he later moved to Meriden, Connecticut, this early nickname morphed into the "Meriden Flash." During this time, Pilkington lost only 4 out of 150 matches; winning the New York State and Metropolitan Crown boxing titles in the featherweight division. During his early career, he was the first professional boxer to be coached and managed by famed manager Al Weill.
Turning pro to support his family in 1919, he began professional boxing in New Jersey and Connecticut. During his first professional fight, he knocked out Joe Welling in four rounds. Later, he boxed against well known boxer Sammy Waltz, knocking him down with his first punch.
At the height of his career, Pilkington was so popular in the greater New York area that after a victory over Johnny Shugrue was proclaimed a draw, New Haven police officers had to escort the referee out of the arena to prevent a riot by Pilkington's fans.
Pilkington fought Jack Bernstein at the Commonwealth Sporting Club in New York in December 1923, where he repetitively held Bernstein's arms and "head butted" him, losing the match after being disqualified. In 1924, he traveled to Australia for his last professional matches - a five fight bout, winning three matches, losing one, and boxing a draw in the other.
By the end of his career, Pilkington was New York State champion for the 108,115, and 125 pound class.
Later in his life, Pilkington became a noted referee, matchmaker, trainer, and promoter. As a mentor and sparring partner, he is largely credited with helping mold the career of famed boxer Kid Kaplan. While working as a promoter in the 1930s, Pilkington publicly spoke out against Kaplan, then a referee, resulting in a large public dispute that ended in Pilkington's license being revoked. Known as "The Boxing Master," he trained many future boxing stars, including Eddie Campagnuolo.

## Personal life

Pilkington's younger brother, "Irish" Jackie Pilkington, was also a professional boxer.
# Graeme McGeagh

Graeme McGeagh is a Scottish screenwriter and actor. He is possibly best known for co-writing and playing the leading role of Tom Collins in the film A Practical Guide to a Spectacular Suicide.

## Life and career

Born in Kirkintilloch in Scotland, McGeagh formed a close film partnership with childhood friends Graham Hughes and Keith Grantham. In 2011, the trio writing their first film The Big Slick. The feature-length comedy film, which also starred the trio in acting roles, tells the story of six young guys whose efforts to spend a quiet night in, quickly spiral out of control. The film was an overwhelming success and earned McGeagh, Hughes and Grantham a nomination for best achievement in writing at the 2011 British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards. The trio were triumphant and took home the accolade at the ceremony which was held at the Glasgow Film Theatre on 11 March 2011.
Following the success of The Big Slick, McGeagh reunited with Hughes and Grantham in 2013 to write their next feature film. Work began later that year on A Practical Guide to a Spectacular Suicide, a story about a man named Tom Collins whose string of suicide attempts leads him to plan what he dubs will be his own 'spectacular suicide'. With the film written, McGeagh was approached to play the lead role which he accepted. Director Graham Hughes, later said 'I think he's a talent—and was the right guy for the part.'
The film was later released in 2014 and was well received both at home and abroad. Its first festival appearance was at the Cinequest Film Festival in California, and in the UK the film premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. A Practical Guide to a Spectacular Suicide earned McGeagh a 2nd Bafta nomination at the 2014 British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards for Best Acting Performance.

# Charles Edwin (died 1756)

Charles Edwin (c. 1699 – 29 June 1756) was a Welsh politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1741 to 1756.

## Early life

Edwin was the eldest son of Samuel Edwin, MP of Llanmihangel Plas, Glamorgan, and grandson of Sir Humphrey Edwin, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1698. His mother was Lady Catherine Montagu, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Manchester. He succeeded his father in 1722 and in 1735 succeeded to the Surrey, Sussex and Northamptonshire estates of his uncle Thomas Edwin. On 1 May 1736, Edwin married Lady Charlotte Hamilton (1707–1777), daughter of the 4th Duke of Hamilton.

## Career

Edwin was selected Sheriff of Northamptonshire from 1739 to 1740. He turned up by chance at a meeting to nominate Admiral Vernon as candidate for Westminster at the forthcoming 1741 general election and found himself put forward as the Admiral's running-mate. At the election, the High Bailiff arbitrarily closed the poll early and brought in soldiers for protection when he declared the Government candidates elected. A committee of independent electors including gentry and lawyers was formed to challenge the result. Parliament declared the election void on the grounds of the presence of soldiers, and the bailiff was found to have been given secret funds and ordered to be imprisoned. The Government could field no candidates at the rerun of the election and Edwin was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament (MP) for Westminster on 31 December 1741. At the 1747 Edwin was returned unopposed as MP for Glamorgan. He was returned again unopposed at the 1754 general election.

## Death and legacy

Edwin died without issue on 29 June 1756. He left Llanmihangel Plas to his sister Ann, who had married Thomas Wyndham. Their son Charles Wyndham changed his name to Edwin on inheriting the estates on the death of his mother.
# Administration (government)

The term administration, as used in the context of government, differs according to the jurisdiction under which it operates. In general terms, the administration can be described as a decision-making body.

## United States

In American usage, the term generally refers to the executive branch under a specific president (or governor, mayor, or other local executives); or the term of a particular executive; for example: "President Y's administration" or "Secretary of Defense X during President Y's administration." It can also mean an executive branch agency headed by an administrator, as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Small Business Administration or the National Archives and Records Administration.
The term "administration" has been used to denote the executive branch in presidential systems of government.

## Europe

The term's usage in Europe varies by country. Still, most typically the word "administration" refers to managerial functions in general, which may include local governments, or the hierarchy of national and local government, that applies to a town or district. More specifically, it may refer to public administration, the business of administering public policy as determined by the government. However, outside France and Romania, this usage of the word is uncommon.
For the British sense of the word, most countries use the term government, referring to the "administration" of Winston Churchill as the "Churchill government". This is also true for the non-European members of the Commonwealth of Nations. An older, chiefly Commonwealth usage, is the term "ministry", as in "Churchill Ministry", which is still in official and academic use in Britain, Australia, and Canada to refer the terms of prime ministers.
The word coalition may be used for a specific government depending on the type of government. In the Netherlands, cabinet is the most-used term (as in "the fourth Balkenende cabinet"). However "coalition" or "government" are also used when one does not refer to a specific coalition (note that the two terms have slightly different meanings).
# Administration Building, Decatur Baptist College

The Administration Building, Decatur Baptist College, at 1602 S. Trinity St. in Decatur, Texas, and overlooking the town, was built in 1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The building was destroyed in a fire on March 18, 2023.
It was a historic building of the Decatur Baptist College, which was founded in 1891 and which held classes during 1892–93 in an opera house space above a grocery store in Decatur. After the building was completed in 1893, it had 149 enrolled students and eight faculty in the 1893–94 school year. The college went bankrupt in 1896, and reorganized as Decatur Baptist Junior College, the first private junior college in the U.S. Much later it moved to Dallas in 1964 and became Dallas Baptist College.
It was a three-story limestone building. It included 15 rooms and a chapel.
On March 18, 2023, the building, which houses the Wise County Heritage Museum, was completely destroyed in a blaze shortly after midnight along with many artifacts being lost.

# Dante Troisi

Dante Troisi (April 21, 1920 – January 2, 1989) was an Italian writer and magistrate. His writings primarily deal with the cultural and sociological woes of Italy following World War II. Much of his literature draws on issues raised through his work as a magistrate. His most significant work is likely the novel Diario di un giudice (Diary of a Judge), written in 1962. In 2005, Troisi was posthumously awarded the Feronia Literary Prize, an award given to distinguished poets and authors.

## Biography

Dante Troisi was born in Tufo, a small town in the Province of Avellino, on April 21, 1920. He attended a secondary school in Avellino, and obtained a law degree from the University of Bari. Troisi was drafted into the Italian military during World War II, and fought during the campaigns in Libya and Tunisia. In May 1943, Troisi was captured by Allied forces. He was sent to a prison camp in Hereford, Texas and remained there until the end of the war. After the war, Troisi returned to Italy in 1947 and became a judge in Pavia. Later on, he was elevated to the position of magistrate, first in Cassino and then in Rome. Troisi died on January 2, 1989, before the publication of his final work, La sera del concerto (The Night of the Concert), after struggling with a serious illness for two years.

## Writings

Troisi's first work as a writer was the book L'ulivo nella sabbia (The Olive Tree in the Sand) and was written in 1951. The story revolves around the relationship between a judge and a man charged with hiding a cachet of weapons. The two were formerly friends while serving together in northern Africa during World War II. The plot is primarily a psychological one—contrasting the two men and how they dealt with the war. Innocente delitto (Innocent Crime) was written in 1960 and dealt with the problems between the generations of post-war Italy. Diario di un giudice (Diary of a Judge), drawing heavily from his experience as a judge, was written in 1962 and deals with the difficulty of the job. Troisi felt that there was a deep mistrust of the Italian judicial system. Troisi's writings, while very pessimistic at times, were filled with challenges to morality and philosophy. His style was marked by a concentration on dialogue, and left little room for scenery description or plot development. Although Troisi's style has been compared to that of the existentialist Albert Camus, it is more accurate to say that he was a moralist, showing his concerns for the social and ideological issues of his time.

# Grasslands Wildlife Management Area

Grasslands Wildlife Management Area lies within the San Joaquin River basin in California and supports the largest remaining block of wetlands in the Central Valley, containing 70,000 acres (280 km$^2$) of private wetlands and associated, and surrounding 53,000 acres (210 km$^2$) of state and federal lands. Perpetual conservation easements on private lands have been purchased by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Land management activities are the responsibility of the landowners, not the Service. These wetlands and associated grasslands, complemented by two national wildlife refuges and four state wildlife areas, comprise over 160,000 acres (650 km$^2$) and are collectively known as the Grasslands Ecological Area.
This area is extremely important to Pacific Flyway populations of 19 duck species and 6 goose species. The Grasslands Ecological Area has been officially recognized as an integral unit of the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network.
Large concentrations of migratory waterfowl, wading birds, and shorebirds are common and easily observed during late winter and early spring.
