# Irving Parkes

Robert Irving Parkes (July 8, 1886 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada – September 23, 1964 in Manhattan, New York City) was a Canadian athlete. He competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.
Parkes placed third in his semifinal heat of the 800 metres, not advancing to the final. He was also part of the Canadian 4 x 400 metres relay, which placed 3rd in their heat and did not advance to the final.
In 1908, only the winners of the heats advanced to the final race. Parkes had the unfortunate draw to run in the second semifinal with the eventual champion and world record setter Mel Sheppard, who dominated the race. His personal record in the 800 metres was 1.57.1 and could have been sufficient to qualify him to the final.
As a boy, he played hockey, lacrosse, basketball, tennis and track. He set the Canadian record for the 880, which stood for 36 years. In later years, Parkes became a golfer and enjoyed fishing. Parkes worked as art director for an advertising agency, McCann Erickson, in NYC.
# Horsburgh Lighthouse

Horsburgh Lighthouse (Chinese: 霍士堡灯塔; Malay: Rumah Api Horsburgh; Tamil: ஹோர்ஸ்பர் கலங்கரை விளக்கம்) is an active lighthouse which marks the eastern entrance to the Straits of Singapore. It is situated on the island of Pedra Branca. Singapore's earliest lighthouse by date of completion, it is located approximately 54 kilometres (34 mi) to the east of Singapore and 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from the Malaysian state of Johor.

## History

Horsburgh Lighthouse was named after Captain James Horsburgh (28 September 1762 – 14 May 1836), a Scottish hydrographer from the East India Company, who mapped many seaways around Singapore in the late 18th and early 19th century. He was called "the Nautical Oracle of the World". His charts and books allowed ships to navigate through treacherous areas of the ocean, saving many lives and property on the seas between China and India. On the wall of the Visitor's Room on the sixth floor of the lighthouse under the light room there is a panel with the following inscription:
* Pharos Ego
* Cui nomen praebuit
* Horsburgh Hydrographus
* In maribus Indo Sinicis praeter omnes praeclarus
* Angliae Mercatorum nisi imprimis indole
* Ex imperii opibus Anglo Indici denique constructa
* Saluti nautarum insignis viri memoriae
* Consule
* A. D. MDCCCLI
* W. J. Butterworth, C. B.,
* Prov: Malacc. Praef.
* A.D. 1851
* The Horsburgh Lighthouse
* is raised by the British enterprise of British Merchants,
* and by the liberal aid of the East India Company,
* to lessen the dangers of navigation,
* and likewise to hand down,
* so long as it shall last,
* in the scene of his useful labours,
* The Memory of the Great Hydrographer
* whose name it bears.
* Col. W. J. Butterworth, C. B.,
* Governor in the Straits of Malacca.
* J. T. Thomson,
* Architect.
Translated literally into English, the Latin inscription reads:
   I, the lighthouse, to whom was given the name of Horsburgh the Hydrographer who is famous beyond all others in the Indo-Chinese sea, was constructed, if not primarily by the natural talents of the English merchants, then certainly by the power of the Anglo-Indian empire, for the salvation of sailors and in memory of the famous man, during the consulate of W. J. Butterworth, C. B., governor of the province of Malacca, in 1851.

## Location

The lighthouse was built over an outcrop of rocks that for centuries was identified on maps as Pedra Branca ("white rock" in Portuguese). It was built by John Turnbull Thomson (1821–1884), a government surveyor. In the presence of Governor William John Butterworth and other dignitaries, the lighthouse foundation stone was laid on 24 May 1850 and the lighthouse was completed in 1851. The lighthouse is also known as Pedra Branca Lighthouse.
The sovereignty of Pedra Branca was disputed between Malaysia and Singapore until 2008. On 23 May 2008, the International Court of Justice awarded the island to Singapore.

Anatoly Aleksandrovich Malofeyev (Russian: Анато́лий Алекса́ндрович Малофе́ев, Belarusian: Анатоль Аляксандравіч Малафееў; 14 May 1933 – 19 January 2022) was a first secretary of the communist party of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic during the Soviet Union era and Belarusian parliament speaker. In March 1985, Malofeyev became the Minsk regional Communist Party leader upon the removal of Vladimir A. Mikulich. He served as First Secretary of the Byelorussian Communist Party from November 1990 to April 1993.

## Parliamentary career

During November 1997, Malofeyev and a state delegation traveled to Cuba to meet with Ricardo Alarcón on political and economic matters over seven days. The delegation also met with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Foreign Investments and Economic Cooperation.
From 6 to 12 September 1998, Malofeyev was a delegate to the 100th Conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union which was held in Moscow. His comments that the conference failed to address human rights issues in Belarus afterwards generated controversy as its committee and Charter 97 claimed a special measure had been adopted to address those issues as well as several lawsuits.
On 26 July 2000, Malofeyev along with fellow speaker, Pavel Shipuk and Belarusian Prime Minister Vladimir Yermoshin met with Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao to facilitate relations between the two countries. Jintao suggested parliamentary contacts as a means of enhancing future bilateral relations with both speakers expressing their willing desire to do whatever was necessary to achieve that goal.

## Post parliament

During November 2007, Malofeyev, as the Chairman of the Standing Committee for Regional Policy and Local Self-Government of the Belarusian Parliament, visited Turkey upon receiving an invitation from Murat Mercan who is the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Both countries maintain embassies in the other's respective capital.
On 20 February 2008, as a member of the Council for Cooperation of Local Self-Government Bodies, Malofeyev was part of a round table discussion of the chairmen of village Councils of Deputies. In his opening remarks to the group he said, "You are the primary authorities in the regions, and the ordinary person and his needs should be in the focus of your activities." At the close of the meeting, Malofeyev addressed the deputies to work with non-governmental organizations to implement change on public issues.
Malofeyev died on 19 January 2022, at the age of 88.
