# Swan Boats (Boston, Massachusetts)

The Swan Boats are a fleet of pontoon pleasure boats which operate in a pond in the Public Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The Swan Boats have been in operation since 1877, and have since become a cultural icon for the city. They operate beginning the second weekend of April and ending Labor Day weekend in September.

## History

Robert Paget first created the Swan Boats in the Public Garden in 1877, after seeing the opera Lohengrin with his wife Julia Paget. Inspired by the knight's gallant rescue of the damsel by riding a swan across the lake, Paget decided to capitalize on the recent popularity of the bicycle and combine the two, designing a two-pontooned boat with two wooden benches and a brass seat on top of a paddlebox concealed by a swan. The driver would sit inside the swan and pedal passengers around the pond.
Swan boats have since operated every year until 2020, when they stayed closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts. They have returned to run each year since then, beginning in May, 2021.

## Current design

To this day, the design for the Swan Boat has changed very little. The boats have been periodically replaced throughout the years, and the current fleet operates with six boats. Each boat has kept the original design, with two pontoons, a brass seat atop a paddlebox concealed by a fiberglass swan, and wooden benches for passengers. However, more rows of benches have been added over the years. Five of the boats have six rows, each row holding about three to four adults, and the oldest boat has five rows, which seat two to three adults each. The boats range in age from roughly 30 to over 100 years old. The oldest boat in operation was built in 1910, and the newest was built in 1992.

## Current operation

The Swan Boats operate in the same pond in the Public Garden in which they have operated for over 140 years. A Swan Boat ride is a peaceful experience, usually lasting about 12–15 minutes. Each boat is powered solely by a driver, often a high school or college student, who pedals the boat like a bicycle. The boats are steered by pulling one of two ropes connected to a series of pulleys and a rudder. The Swan Boats remain a Boston tradition and symbol of the city.
The Swan Boats are famed for their appearance in the stories of Make Way For Ducklings and The Trumpet of the Swan, and are often noted in tourist guides and other books about the city. In 1954 service was interrupted during the summer for the first time, when city officials drained the lake after 30 ducks died due to an infection.

## In popular culture

The post-apocalyptic video game Fallout 4 included Swan Boats in its Boston Common location, where players can collect swan boat fragments and find other notable landmarks such as the Parkman Bandstand and the first marker of the Freedom Trail.
# Atlanta Negro Voters League

The Atlanta Negro Voters League (ANVL) was an American bipartisan governmental organization. The organization was formed in 1949 by Republican A. T. Walden, and Democrat John Wesley Dobbs. The organization was created after the lynching of Robert Mallard. The organization’s goal was to increase the strength of the Black vote; they did this by performing sit-ins on historically Black colleges and universities.

## History

The organization was formed on July 7, 1949 in Atlanta, Georgia by Democratic lawyer and leader of the NAACP's Atlanta branch, A. T. Walden, and Republican leader of the Prince Hall Masons of Georgia and the Fulton County Republican Club John Wesley Dobbs. In its later years, the three founders were replaced by co-chairs John H. Calhoun, and Q. V. Williamson. Most of the founders were members of the middle class. The organization’s goal was to strengthen the Black vote. They did this by preventing the splitting of Black votes. The group was formed after members of the Ku Klux Klan lynched Robert Mallard, which happened because of Mallard's vote in the 1948 Georgia gubernatorial special election. The organization had affiliations with the NAACP and the National Urban League.
The organization had annual meetings at the Big Bethel AME Church. These meetings were held to speak about civil rights in Atlanta. They were also responsible for multiple Atlanta sit-ins, mainly ones in historically Black colleges and universities.
The group was often criticized for catering to wealthier Black people who lived in Sweet Auburn. Instead of allocating more funds to building public housing, they put their funds towards making golf courses and suburbs for middle class African Americans.

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film a “lovingly assembled documentary” and stated that “Mickey and Judy would have loved it, bittersweet ending and all.” Michael Schulman of The New Yorker called it a “moving documentary” and wrote: “It’s hard now to imagine the audience members who stormed out, exasperated, during the original run, but seeing the cast members reflect on the ordeal shows how devastating it was to realize they were on a sinking ship—and that those 'gods' Sondheim and Prince were mortal after all.” Odie Anderson of the Village Voice said the film "is sure to satisfy theater wonks, Sondheim fans, curious moviegoers and lovers of Broadway." Jude Dry of IndieWire gave the film an A rating, saying, "’Best Worst Thing’ is more than a story about a Broadway show; its most poignant moments examine the thrill of dreams coming true, and the inevitable comedown afterwards."

# Indian bush lark

The Indian bush lark (Mirafra erythroptera) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in South Asia.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The Indian bush lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of five species moved to a newly erected genus, Plocealauda, based on evidence from a large molecular genetic study published in 2023. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.
The alternate names "red-winged lark" and "red-winged bush lark" are more commonly used to describe the red-winged lark (M. hypermetra). Other alternate names of the Indian bush lark are "Indian lark", "Indian red-winged lark", "red-winged singing bushlark" and "rusty-winged lark".

## Description

The plumage of the Indian bush lark is pale and it has a cheek patch completely bounded by a white supercilium and post-auricular border. The crown and upper-parts are heavily streaked. The pale underparts have large spots on the breast. Most of its wing coverts, tertials and central tail feathers have pale centres. The primary coverts look all brown. The rufous wing bars are diagnostic but care must be taken not to confuse the bird with Jerdon's bush lark in the central Western Ghats and country around where their ranges overlap. Jerdon's bush lark is darker with more rufous on the wings. It is distinguished from Jerdon's bush lark by its shorter bill and legs and longer tail.
It sings from bush tops but does not usually perch on trees or wires. The calls are similar to that of Jerdon's bush lark but are lower and have longer rattling tremolos often falling in pitch.

## Distribution and habitat

The Indian bush lark is most commonly found in arid areas. It is found in Pakistan and north-western, central and south-central India.

## Behaviour and ecology

The song-flight during the mating season is an amazing spectacle. The bird flutters high over the ground, then holds its wings in an open "V" and "parachutes" down to its perch uttering its song consisting of short tweets and cheeps in three syllables followed by a longer fourth syllable. This combination is repeated till the bird perches again.

# From Dan to Beersheba

From Dan to Beersheba is a biblical phrase used nine times in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the settled areas of the Tribes of Israel between Dan in the North and Beersheba in the South. The term contributed to the position that was used by British politicians during negotiation of the British Mandate for Palestine following World War I.

## Biblical verses

It is found in the biblical verses:
1. Judges 20:1 during the Battle of Gibeah at the end of the Book of Judges
       "Then all Israel from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came together as one and assembled before the LORD in Mizpah."
2. 1 Samuel 3:20 during the "Calling of Samuel"
       "And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD."
3. 2 Samuel 3:10 during the war between Ish-bosheth and his brother-in-law David following the death of Saul
       "...and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba."
4. 2 Samuel 17:11 during the rebellion of David's son Absalom
       "So I advise you: Let all Israel, from Dan to Beersheba—as numerous as the sand on the seashore—be gathered to you, with you yourself leading them into battle."
5. / 6. 2 Samuel 24:2 / 1 Chronicles 21:2 on David's census of Israel and Judah
       "So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, “Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are".
       "So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are."
7. 2 Samuel 24:15 following David's census of Israel and Judah
       "So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died."
8. 1 Kings 4:25 following Solomon's ascent to the throne
       "During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, lived in safety, everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree."
9. 2 Chronicles 30:5 during Hezekiah's passover
       "They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written."

## Modern history

During the peace negotiations following World War I, "from Dan to Beersheba" contributed to the British proposal for the area of Palestine to be carved out of the Ottoman Empire as a League of Nations mandate. On 13 September 1919, a memorandum was handed from Lloyd George to Georges Clemenceau which stated that British Palestine would be "defined in accordance with its ancient boundaries of Dan to Beersheba".
