# H. Gordon Skilling

Harold Gordon Skilling (February 28, 1912 – March 2, 2001) was a Canadian political scientist, known for his expertise on the history of Czechoslovakia and support for the Charter 77 dissident movement.
Born in Toronto in 1912, Skilling received degrees from the University of Toronto, University of London, and University of Oxford. He was part of the faculty at the University of Toronto until his retirement in 1982.

## In Czechoslovakia

Skilling's first visit to Czechoslovakia was in 1937, to research his doctoral thesis in Czech history from the University of London, on the topic of relations between Czechs and Germans in 19th century Bohemia. On 4 September 1937 he attended Thomas Garrigue Masaryk's last public appearance as president, at the anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Zborov in Strahov Stadium in Prague. Working as a broadcaster for shortwave radio service Radiojournal, a forerunner of Radio Prague, Skilling was in Prague in September 1938 when the Munich Agreement was signed, and was still in the country the following March when the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia began. During this period he also worked on news broadcasts for NBC and CBS. Skilling left Prague in April 1939, to finish his doctoral research in Nazi-ruled Vienna.

## Post-war

After World War II Skilling visited the country many more times. During the communist era, Skilling was an active supporter of dissidents such as Vaclav Havel, who he visited at his cottage in Hrádeček, and the wider Charter 77 movement, smuggling newspapers, journals, and books into the country to encourage dissident activists, including his own book, Charter 77 and Human Rights in Czechoslovakia, which was strongly supportive of the movement. As an academic historian, Skilling produced a number of works about Czechoslovak history and culture, and collected many Czechoslovak samizdat publications, now housed in the University of Toronto library.
Skilling was awarded the Innis-Gérin Medal in 1981, a prize awarded by the Royal Society of Canada for distinguished contribution to the literature of the social sciences. In 1992, Skilling received the Order of the White Lion, Czechoslovakia's highest honour, from President Vaclav Havel.

## Personal life

Gordon Skilling's wife Sara died in 1990. They had two sons.

## Legacy

According to Radio Prague, "few would question [Skilling's] status as the most important North American historian of Czechoslovak 20th century history. In 2012, the centenary of Skilling's birth was marked by an international conference and exhibition about his life and work at the Museum Kampa in Prague.

# The Speed Sisters

The Speed Sisters are an all-female, Palestinian automobile racing team that compete on the West Bank's professional car racing circuit.

## Background

The team was first formed in 2009, with support from the British Consulate in Jerusalem. Because the British Consulate in Jerusalem funded a race car for them, the team decorate the car with both Palestinian and British flags. Karen McLuskie, a British Consulate representative and head of the British effort to sponsor women's car racing in the Palestinian territories, has said that she believes that 2011 "will be the Speed Sisters’ year. They will show more power and more ladies will join the team,” The women compete in regular races against men, including the Speed Test, an annual race that began in 2005.
Team captain, Suna Aweidah, described the racing team as "a dream come true," although she acknowledged that her "family was not happy for me to start participating in this kind of sport." Team member Mona Ennab can boast that she was "the first girl to make the race here in Palestine." The head of the Palestinian Motorsport Federation, Khaled Khadoura, says that the women are serious competitors, and that he is "very proud to see our young women today taking an interest in race car driving, and training in order to improve themselves." One member was ranked among the top ten racers on the Palestinian circuit.
The team, which has already broken stereotypes in a male-dominated society, is breaking more by welcoming Sahar Jawabrah, its first member to wear the hijab, or Islamic head scarf. Safety-conscious, she covers the hijab with a helmet when racing. But women who drive race cars are not applauded in all quarters. With auto racing growing in popularity throughout the Muslim world, some Muslim clerics have condemned it for being frivolous and un-Islamic. Others call it haram, or forbidden according to Islamic law. One shopkeeper in Ramallah told a reporter that it is not an appropriate sport for Palestinian society, and that he, "would not allow my wife, my sister or my daughter to race."
In 2013, Anthony Bourdain took a ride with the Speed Sisters in his Emmy award-winning series Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, which aired on CNN. It was the second episode of the second season, titled Jerusalem.
In 2015, the documentary film Speed Sisters was released, which details the exploits of the racing crew.
# Hong Kong Civil Service cruise perk

The Hong Kong Civil Service cruise perk was a policy of the Government of Hong Kong between 1972 and 1984, whereby British expatriate members of the Hong Kong Civil Service would be contractually entitled to a free sea cruise back to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong upon their retirement.

## History

During the British administration of British Hong Kong, the government was having problems attracting skilled civil servants to the colony. By 1971, to help attract workers, the Hong Kong government offered various perks. In that year, a committee recommended that they offered to all civil servants who retired when they were over 50 and had 15 years of service in Hong Kong, would be entitled to a sea cruise back to the UK paid for by the Hong Kong government. The perk was introduced in 1972 and popular with expats and had a high take up as it covered both them and their families. However owing to the high cost per person (approximately HK$38,484 minimum per person) and dissent from local Hong Kongers, the Hong Kong government announced that civil servants employed after 1984 would no longer be entitled to the perk. The cruise was not a chartered one and relied on private cruise lines to run it. Usually there was only one per year that sailed from Hong Kong to the UK. There was no formal farewell ceremony beyond the Royal Hong Kong Police band playing as the ship departed Hong Kong as happened with all cruise ships.
In 1992, the government announced plans to scrap the remaining cruises in favour of a flat payment and air fare owing to the perk being viewed as outdated. Expat civil servants and trade unions opposed this citing that the government were contractually obliged to honour their perk and challenged the plans in court. The expats challenge went to the Court of Appeal where the decision was made in their favour stating that the government could not take away contracted benefits without compensation. Following the decision, the government announced it would offer to buy expatriates out of their contracts and still provide the perk prior to the handover of Hong Kong in 1997 but would keep the offer of transferring to a local contract. It was announced that after the handover, the Special Administrative Region government stated they would honour the remaining contracts as stipulated under the Hong Kong Basic Law. However 12 days after the handover, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong decreed that any civil servants that transferred to local contracts would lose the right to sea passage in keeping with the original court judgement.
# 7-Methyl-α-ethyltryptamine

7-Methyl-α-ethyltryptamine (7-Me-αET) is a tryptamine derivative related to α-ethyltryptamine (αET). It was discovered by a team at Upjohn in the early 1960s. It has similar pharmacological effects to αET, but is both 3-4 times more potent as a serotonin releasing agent, and 10 times more potent as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, making it potentially hazardous as this pharmacological profile is shared with drugs such as PMA and 4-MTA, which are known to be dangerous in humans when used at high doses.

# Ford, Argyll

Ford (Scottish Gaelic: Àth na Crà) is a small village at the southern end of Loch Awe in Argyll, Scotland. The village originated as a stopping point on the drove route to Inveraray. The Ford Hotel dates back to 1864, and was probably erected on the site of the old change house. Today it is a guest house and is a listed building.
There are historic paddocks along the side of the ford to Dalavich road. A hill known as Dun Dubh overlooks the village.

## Prehistoric remains

Many prehistoric structures survive within the village boundary and are all easily accessible or can be seen from the public road. Opposite the guest house, in the village centre, stands a prehistoric burial mound known in Gaelic as Cnoc an Ath (hillock of the ford). It is a cist burial thought to have been opened in the 1800s and the remains of a food vessal found in it is thought to be in the National Museum of Scotland. Several standing stones are scattered around the area, the three most notable ones being the one in the field next to the guest house, the one opposite Glennan Farm, and the largest one at Torran Farm. A crannog is also present in Loch Ederline and is clearly visible from the road.
In 2000, a local bird-watcher discovered a prehistoric urned cremation in a boulder shelter at Glennan. It was excavated by GUARD archaeology and found to contain the remains of probably a male, aged 25–40 years old. They had suffered from slight spinal joint disease, mild iron deficiency anaemia and were cremated shortly after death, together with a young sheep/goat, whose bones were also in the urn.

# Franz Polgar

Dr. Franz Julius Polgar (April 18, 1900 - June 19, 1979) was a renowned psychologist, hypnotist, lecturer and entertainer.

## Family

The son of Julius Polgar, and Risa Kohn (1869-), née Kohn, Franz Polgar was born in city of Enying, in Fejér County, Hungary on April 18, 1900. He arrived in the United States in 1931, and was naturalized on 7 September 1944.
He married Lillian Sheiman (1911-), in New York, on 24 September 24, 1938. They had two children, Julian (b.1945) and Risa Willa (b.1947).

## Education

He earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Budapest.

## Hypnotist

In his 1951 autobiography Polgar claimed that he had served as Sigmund Freud's "medical hypnotist" (Polgar's term) in 1924 and had worked in close association with Freud for six months and had assisted in the treatment of Freud's patients. In 1982, Gravitz and Gerton investigated this claim and determined that it had no foundation.
He honed his hypnotism skills by working in speakeasy bars in New York City. His wife, Lillian, became his booking and publications manager.
During the early days of television, and soon after an early 1949 appearance at the Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, New York, in which he claimed to have induced a student, Donald A. Romano, into a trance, Dr. Polgar had a short lived 10-minute show on the CBS television network called The Amazing Polgar
Most of his entertaining was done in colleges, universities, and resorts. His show consisted of three parts: hypnosis demonstration, a mentalism or "mind reading" stunt where he would use Hellstromism to find an object hidden by his audience, and various memory stunts.
