# Marc Basnight

Marc Basnight (May 13, 1947 – December 28, 2020) was an American politician who served as a Democratic member of the North Carolina State Senate, representing the 1st district, from 1984 through his resignation just before the start of what would have been his 14th term in 2011. His district included constituents in Beaufort, Camden, Currituck, Dare, Hyde, Pasquotank, Tyrrell, and Washington counties.

## Career

A small business owner, Basnight held the position of President pro tempore from 1993 until Democrats lost their Senate majority in the November 2010 elections. In December 2006, Senate Democrats officially backed him for a record eighth term in that post, and in January 2009, Senate Democrats and two Republicans backed him for a ninth term. Such bipartisan support is rare when electing presiding officers in the North Carolina legislature. In the wake of the 2010 elections, Basnight said he would not seek any leadership post in the minority Democratic caucus when the legislature reconvened in January 2011. Then, he announced he would resign just before the opening of the new legislature, due to health issues. In an Associated Press interview February 13, 2012, asked if he had Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), Basnight said, "I may have it, may not." Benjamin Brooks of Carolinas Medical Center said Basnight had progressive bulbar palsy and that, while someone could die from the condition, it was also possible to live a long time. Brooks said medication was slowing the disease's progress, and that it was uncertain whether Basnight had ALS.
On March 7, 2019, the North Carolina State Board of Transportation voted to name the 2.8-mile Oregon Inlet bridge opened three days earlier for Basnight.

## Personal life and business

Basnight was born in Manteo, North Carolina, and graduated from Manteo High School in 1966. He married the late Sandy Tillett on March 23, 1968; they parented two children together, Caroline and Vicki. Basnight chaired the Dare County tourist bureau from 1974 to 1976, and was a member of the North Carolina Board of Transportation from 1977 to 1983. Though Basnight never attended college, he received an honorary bachelor's degree from East Carolina University in 1996. Basnight was a member of the Masons.
Basnight owned a restaurant, the Lone Cedar Cafe, between Manteo and Nags Head on the Outer Banks. It burned to the ground May 1, 2007, in what was determined to be a fire caused by arson. It has since been rebuilt.
Basnight died on December 28, 2020. He was 73 years old.
# Dark media

Dark media are a type of media outlined by American philosopher Eugene Thacker to describe technologies that mediate between the natural and supernatural, most commonly found in the horror genre.

## Overview

Discussed at length in the essay of the same name, Eugene Thacker writes that dark media are media that function too well. Thacker writes that, "dark media have, as their aim, the mediation of that which is unavailable or inaccessible to the senses, and thus that which we are normally "in the dark" about." Typically in works of Horror, dark media are relatively commonplace media that show more of the world than is expected, with the dark medium showing what lies beyond the possibility of human sense. Dark media are significant in their ability to breach the, typically unbridgeable, gap between objects being mediated. Thacker's examples include the films of Georges Méliès and Peter Tscherkassky, J-horror film directors like Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the horror films of Kenneth Anger and Dario Argento, The Twilight Zone TV series, and the "occult detective" writing linked to the Society for Psychical Research and authors such as William Hope Hodgson, Algernon Blackwood, and Sheridan Le Fanu. Referencing the philosophies of religion in Augustine, Immanuel Kant, William James, and Georges Bataille, Thacker shows how dark media blur the boundary between the natural and supernatural, and bear comparison to accounts of mystical experience. Thacker references the work of François Laruelle's "non-philosophy" and Siegfried Zielinski's media archaeology to show how dark media point to the limits of human perception and knowledge. With dark media, as shown in the J-Horror film Ring, dark media can create a point between the natural and the supernatural. In Ring, the dark medium of the VHS cassette makes it possible for antagonist Sadako Yamamura to cross the threshold of a TV, and subsequently kill those that have viewed the videotape. Further examples of dark media are found in Thacker's book In the Dust of This Planet.

## Examples of dark media

* Machine from Long Distance Wireless Photography and other films of Georges Méliès.
* The "electric pentagram" in Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, by William Hope Hodgson (1913).
* Machine in H.P. Lovecraft's short story "From Beyond" (1934).
* Fortune-telling machine from The Twilight Zone episode "Nick of Time".
* Video & audio recording equipment in Poltergeist (1982).
* The movie theater in Lamberto Bava & Dario Argento's film Demons (1985)
* Videotape in Hideo Nakata's film Ring (1998).
* Webcam in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's film Pulse (2001).

## Early life and education

Leodis Davis was born on September 25, 1933, in Stamps, Arkansas, the oldest of two sons. He was raised primarily in Kansas City, Missouri, where his parents relocated in search of work. He was interested in science from an early age and cited his high school teachers' influence as inspiring. After graduating from high school, Davis was offered several college scholarships and chose to attend the University of Kansas City (now the University of Missouri at Kansas City), where desegregation had recently made admission available to black students. He graduated in 1956 with a degree in chemistry and began his graduate studies the same year at Iowa State University. His research focused on vitamin B6 and earned him a Ph.D. under the supervision of David Metzler in 1960. He then spent an additional year as a postdoctoral fellow in Metzler's group before beginning his independent academic career.$^{:64–7}$

# Glaucus of Chios

Glaucus of Chios (Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος) was a Greek metal sculptor from the island of Chios, who is often distinguished as the inventor of the art of soldering metals (Greek: σιδήρου κόλλησις, lit. "gluing together of iron").
His most noted work was a base of welded iron supporting a silver krater. According to Herodotus, it was given by Alyattes, the Lydian King and father of Croesus, to the Oracle of Delphi. The base, perhaps already without the krater, was also seen by Pausanias, who describes its construction, and by Athenaeus, who says that it was chased with small figures of animals, insects, and plants. Perhaps it is this passage that has led Meyer and others into the mistake of explaining κόλλησις as that kind of engraving on steel which is now called damascene work. Actually there is no doubt that κόλλησις meant a mode of uniting metals without the help of nails, hooks, or dovetails. Plutarch also speaks of this salver as very celebrated.
The proverb Γλαύκου τέχνη ("the skill of Glaucus"), purported by some to refer to Glaucus of Chios, could also refer to a writing technique invented by Glaucus of Samos. Cf. Stephanus Byzantinus (s. v. Αἰθάλη) and Suda (s. v. γλαῦξ ἴπταται), who appear to confuse these two persons of the name Glaucus. A scholiast on Plato identifies the two.
Glaucus is placed by Eusebius at the 2nd year of the 22nd Olympiad (691 BC). Alyattes reigned 617–560 BC. Though these dates appear inconsistent, there is nothing in Herodotus to exclude the supposition that the iron base had been made some time before Alyattes sent it to Delphi.

# Civil List Act 1727

The Civil List Act 1727 (1 Geo. 2. St. 1. c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain passed upon the accession of George II.
The Act granted the Crown the Civil List revenues (mainly customs and excise), estimated to give the King an annual income of £800,000. If these revenues yielded less than £800,000 then Parliament would make up the shortfall. If on the other hand they were worth more than £800,000, the King could retain the surplus as well. The Act differed from previous Civil List arrangements in that under the terms of the Act the income of the Crown would increase with the wealth of the nation. In the early years of George II's reign, the revenues fell below the stipulated amount of £800,000 but by the end of his reign he was receiving £876,988.

# Greenock Dockyard Company

The Greenock Dockyard Company was a Scottish shipbuilding and ship repair firm located at Greenock, on the River Clyde.

## History

The company was established by J E Scott of Greenock, with the yard at Cartsdyke being taken over in 1879 by Russell and Company, of Greenock, which later became Lithgows. The dockyard had been well established when it merged with the Grangemouth Dockyard Co Ltd to become the Grangemouth and Greenock Dockyard in 1900. After eight years, the name changed to Greenock & Grangemouth Dockyard Co. The Greenock yard was then sold to the operators of the Clan Line in 1918 and in 1920 it was incorporated as the Greenock Dockyard Co Ltd.
In 1935, the Greenock Dockyard exchanged its yards with those of their neighbour, Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company. The Greenock Dockyard Company built a large number of merchant ships for British merchant lines before, during and after the wars. In 1966 the company was taken over by Scotts Shipbuilding & Engineering Co Ltd, and then became part of Scott Lithgow in 1967. The Cartsdyke yard eventually ceased building ships and closed in 1979.

# Arignote

Arignote or Arignota (/ˌærɪɡˈnoʊtiː, ˌærɪɡˈnoʊtə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀριγνώτη, Arignṓtē; fl. c. 500 BC) was a Pythagorean philosopher from Croton, Magna Graecia, or from Samos. She was known as a student of Pythagoras and Theano and, according to some traditions, their daughter as well.

## Life

According to the Suda, Arignote wrote:
* Bacchica (Βακχικά, Bakkhika, "Of Bacchus")
* The Mysteries of Demetra (Περὶ τῶν Δήμητρος Μυστηρίων, Peri ton Demetros Mysterion)
* A Sacred Discourse (Ἱερὸς Λόγος, Hieros Logos)
* Mysteries of Dionysus (Τελεταὶ Διονύσου, Teletai Dionysou)
Writings attributed to her were extant in Porphyry's day.
Among the Pythagorean Sacred Discourses (Ἱεροὶ Λόγοι, ΄΄Hieroi Logoi΄΄) there is a dictum attributed to Arignote:
   The eternal essence of number is the most providential cause of the whole heaven, earth and the region in between. Likewise it is the root of the continued existence of the gods and daimones, as well as that of divine men.
# Harry Brown (American politician)

Harry Brown (born April 13, 1955) is an American businessman and politician. A Republican, Brown has been a member of the North Carolina State Senate since 2004, and the Senate majority leader since 2011. He represents the state's sixth Senate district, which consists of Jones and Onslow counties.

## Early life and education

Brown received a BA in business administration and an MBA from Campbell University.

## Business and political career

Brown is an automobile dealer, owning a Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep and a Volkswagen-Subaru dealership. Brown later expanded into other businesses, owning an Allstate insurance agency and two Jacksonville, North Carolina radio stations.
Brown first ran for the North Carolina House as a Democrat in 2002, losing by 61 votes in the primary election.
Brown subsequently switched to the Republican Party and in 2004 defeated Democratic incumbent Cecil Hargett. He retained his seat in 2006 by beating Democratic challenger Carolyn Pittman-Dorsey; ran unopposed in the general elections of 2010 and 2014; and in 2018 won re-election with 65% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee Joseph (Joe) Webb.
Staunchly conservative, Brown opposed the creation of the North Carolina Lottery in 2005, which passed on a close vote. Brown opposes Medicaid expansion for low-income North Carolinians. In 2010, when Republicans took control of the state Senate, Brown was selected by the caucus to become Senate majority leader. As the chamber's chief budget-writer, Brown and state House Speaker Tim Moore, a fellow Republican, were the two North Carolina lawmakers with the most earmarked funding for their districts in the 2015 state budget, securing a collective total of $19 million. Brown defended his use of earmarks for projects in his district, which included $10.96 million for a new middle and high school in Jones County, $2 million for construction of an air traffic control tower at the Albert J. Ellis Airport, and $500,000 for the Museum of the Marine. In 2017 Brown, in an attempt to increase funding in rural communities, proposed legislation to modify the distribution of state spending from sales tax revenue by allocating more of the money to the areas where the customers lived instead of where the businesses they shopped at were located. Urban areas with large shopping centers opposed the move, and the change was not implemented.
In the North Carolina State Senate, Brown was the chief proponent of controversial legislation in 2017 and 2019 to ban, or impose a moratorium on, new wind farms in most of Eastern North Carolina. The wind-power ban proposed by Brown was ultimately dropped from the 2019 legislation as part of a compromise.

# Philip of Megalopolis

Philip (Ancient Greek: Φίλιππος) was son of Alexander of Megalopolis.
His father's pretended descent from Alexander the Great appears to have filled him with the most puerile schemes of ambition. On the marriage of his sister Apama with Amynander of Athamania, Philip accompanied her, and contrived to obtain great influence over the mind of Amynander, who gave him the government of Zacynthus, and allowed him to direct in great measure the administration of affairs. At the outbreak of the Roman-Seleucid War Amynander called his cognate to join him in Athamania, and Philip handed the island over to Hierocles of Agrigentum, who later betrayed it to the Achaeans.
When Antiochus III came into Greece (192 BC) he gained over Philip to his interests by pretending to regard him as the rightful heir to the Macedonian throne, and even holding out to him hopes of establishing him upon it; by which means he obtained the adherence of Amynander also. Philip was afterwards chosen by Antiochus for the duty of burying the bones of the Macedonians and Greeks slain at the Battle of Cynoscephalae, a measure by which he vainly hoped to conciliate popularity. He was next appointed to command the garrison at Pellinaeum, but was soon compelled to surrender to the Romans, by whom he was sent a prisoner to Rome. When first taken captive he accidentally met Philip V of Macedon, who in derision greeted him with the royal title.
