# Lethbridge & District Exhibition

The Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE) is a not-for-profit corporation that operates the exhibition complex and fair grounds in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1897 as the Lethbridge & District Agricultural Society.

## History

The Lethbridge & District Exhibition was first organized by a group of farmers, ranchers, and citizens to promote agriculture and commerce in the area.
In 1912, the City of Lethbridge hosted the World Dry Farming Congress at the exhibition grounds, which were expanded significantly for that event, and included a streetcar line from the CPR station.
In March 2021, construction began on the Exhibition Grounds for a new exhibition hall. The project cost $70.5 Million and was jointly funded by the Government of Alberta’s recovery program, City of Lethbridge, and the Government of Canada. The new Agri-food Hub and Trade Centre opened to the public on August 8, 2023.
Following the completion of the Agri-food Hub and Trade Centre, it was revealed that there had been significant financial mismanagement of the new building project, including non-compliant expenses and contracting works, resulting in a budget deficit of $6.4 Million per year. Subsequently, the City of Lethbridge removed the CEO and Board of Governors and assumed responsibility operating the exhibition.

## Facilities

Permanent structures at the site include a 10,664 m$^2$ (114,787 ft$^2$) pavilion complex (main, north, west and south pavilions, and Saddle Room), Heritage Hall and a grandstand.
Opened in 2023, the Agri-Food Hub and Trade Centre added an additional 24,898m$^2$ (268,000 ft$^2$) of multipurpose space on the exhibition grounds.

## Events

Roughly 950 events are held at the park every year, which attract over 850,000 visitors and provide $81 million in economic benefit to the city. By far, the largest event held at the park is Whoop-Up Days, an annual summer fair. Other annual events include Ag Expo, the Home & Garden Show, a weekly Farmers' Market, Country Christmas Craft Show, and Family Fest.

## Governance

Exhibition Park is governed by a board of directors consisting of members of the community, including a president, two vice presidents, a past president, and a member each from the City of Lethbridge council and the County of Lethbridge council. The 2006 board of directors consisted of 14 persons.
In the 2005 budget, Exhibition Park had annual revenue of roughly $2.3 million and annual expenditures of about $2.1 million.

# Angèle Rawiri

Angèle Christiane Rawiri or Angèle Ntyugwetondo Rawiri (1954-2010) was a Gabonese writer. She was born in 1954 in Port-Gentil, and was the daughter of Georges Rawiri, a Gabonese politician, diplomat and poet who was a friend of President Omar Bongo. She was orphaned age 6. She studied at university in France. She then lived in London for two years, where she worked as a model and actress (notably in supporting roles in James Bond films). She returned to Gabon in the late 1970s and worked as a French-English translator for a Gabonese oil company, Société Nationale Pétrolière Gabonaise (still called Petrogab), while beginning to write. At the end of the 1980s, she returned to France and devoted herself to writing.
Her novel Elonga, published in 1980, denounces the scourge of witchcraft and occult sciences through the return home of a young mixed-race man. Her second novel, G'amèrakano au carrefour, was published in 1983. It deals with the confrontation between tradition and modernity in his native country through the story of a young secretary, Toula, who lives in an eccentric and sinister neighbourhood where she rubs shoulders with delinquents and idlers. She longs for a different life. A friend suggests that she lose weight, go out with a rich man and lighten her skin.
It was in France that she completed and published her best-known novel, The Fury and Cries of Women (1989), which evokes the frustrations of young people who have lived abroad in relation to certain obstacles in Gabonese society, the weight of families, infidelity and female homosexuality.
She belongs to a new post-independence generation of African novelists with a significant female presence.
She died in November 2010 in Puteaux, near Paris.
Rawiri is also the mother of a young woman who still lives in the Paris region.
She published her first works under the name Ntyugwetondo Rawiri.

# Al Taylor (politician)

Alfred E. Taylor (born August 12, 1957) is an American politician serving as a member of the New York State Assembly for the 71st district. A Democrat, Taylor's district includes portions of Hamilton Heights, Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood.

## Early life and education

A lifelong resident of Harlem, Taylor was a troubled youth who was able to turn to judge Bruce Wright, who mentored him and gave him an interest in community service. Taylor then served in the Military Police Corps while earning his GED, then graduated from Lehman College. He later earned a Master of Divinity, with a concentration in church development, from the Alliance Theological Seminary.

## Career

Taylor served for many years as the chief of staff for his predecessor, Herman D. Farrell Jr., while also serving as a Democratic district leader and as the pastor of Infinity Mennonite Church.

### New York State Assembly

Farrell, first elected in 1974, decided to step down midterm in 2017 at the age of 85. Taylor, his chief of staff, had long been seen as the heir apparent for the seat. With Farrell vacating the seat midterm, New York state law allowed for the Democratic District committee for the Assembly district to select the candidate for the general election, bypassing a primary for seat. Taylor, being the district leader, who ultimately leads the district committee, easily was chosen as the candidate.
Taylor won the seat unopposed, and was sworn in soon after. Taylor was re-elected in 2018 after running unopposed.
A new purportedly grassroots non-profit organization, "New York 4 Harlem", that actively solicited donations of $500 to $5,000 was reported in 2018 to allegedly have been a front for Taylor and three other Harlem elected officials. In addition, a flyer organizing a free bus trip to Albany for a conference organized by the New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators with New York 4 Harlem's name on it featured a picture of Taylor and the three other officials. Nonprofit organizations are not allowed to take part in campaign activity. The contact person for the event was a staffer working in the office of one of the other three legislators.

## Criticism

Taylor has received scrutiny from pro-choice and LGBT groups over his stances on abortion and gay rights. In 2019, he was one of seven Democrats in the State Assembly to vote against the Reproductive Health Act, and he voted against the Equal Rights Amendment prior to voting for it in 2023 in the lead-up to a competitive primary for the City Council's 9th District.
He has also faced criticism over his refusal to perform same-sex marriages in his capacity as pastor of Harlem's Infinity Mennonite Church.

# Al-Salih Ismail, Emir of Damascus

Al-Malik al-Salih Imad al-Din Ismail bin Saif al-Din Ahmad better known as al-Salih Ismail (Arabic: الصالح إسماعيل) was the Ayyubid sultan based in Damascus. He reigned twice, once in 1237 and then again from 1239 to 1245.
In 1237, al-Salih Ismail's brother, al-Ashraf, the ruler of Damascus died. Ismail succeeded him and two months later, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, al-Kamil, sent forces to besiege the city. Ismail had the suburbs of Damascus burned to prevent the Egyptian forces shelter. On al-Kamil's death his son al-Adil II occupied Damascus after his brother al-Salih Ayyub, the ruler of al-Jazira, revealed his intentions to succeed al-Kamil as sultan in Egypt. Ayyub was invited to take over Damascus by some of the local governors of Syria and accomplished the conquest in December 1238. Initially, Ismail, who was already governor (emir) of Bosra and Baalbek, allied himself with Ayyub.
In August 1239, Ayyub began pressuring Ismail to join him at Nablus for the campaign to take over Egypt from al-Adil II. Ismail promised to come as soon as he could equip his forces, but meantime, he would send his son al-Mansur Mahmud with a small contingent. Eventually Ayyub began to grow suspicious of Ismail's perceived procrastination and sent a noted physician, Sa'd al-Din al-Dimashqi, to find out what his vassal was doing. Ismail's vizier discovered Ayyub's scheme and secretly forged al-Dimashqi's recordings to mislead Ayyub into thinking Ismail was indeed on his way to Nablus. When he felt ready enough, he requested from Ayyub the return of al-Mansur Mahmud to Baalbek where he would administer affairs while he was absent on the campaign for Egypt. Ayyub complied.
Ismail, with the support of the Ayyubids of Kerak, Hama and Homs, captured Damascus from Ayyub in September 1239. Ayyub was abandoned by his troops and taken captive by local Bedouin who transferred him to al-Nasir Dawud's control. This ushered in an era of future rivalry between Ismail and Ayyub. Ayyub eventually ascended to rule the Egypt-based sultanate with Dawud's help, but he soon quarreled with him. Dawud and Ismail had reconciled and decided to establish an alliance with the Crusaders to prevent Ayyub from conquering their territories. In July 1240 during the Barons' Crusade, an agreement was brokered via Theobald I of Navarre, with the Crusaders allying with Damascus against Egypt. The Crusaders would secure the southern border of Palestine from Ayyub, while Ismail was forced to effectively cede all of the land west of the Jordan River that Saladin had gained for the Ayyubids in 1187, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Gaza, and Nablus. Ismail also gave up his own fortresses in Hunin, Tiberias, Beaufort, and Safad. The terms of the treaty provoked outcries and consternation throughout the Arab world, and Muslim imams denounced Ismail because of the loss of Jerusalem.
# Ivy Cooke

## Biography

Ivy Sylvia Lucille Tai was the daughter of a "successful merchant" of Chinese descent.
She attended the Warsop All-Age School in Trelawny, and then went on to the Bethlehem Teacher Training College. Cooke taught for periods at Montego Bay High School for Girls (guidance counsellor), Montego Bay Boys' School (assistant principal), and Bell Castle All-Age School (assistant principal and acting principal). She later worked for the Ministry of Education as a supervisor of teacher colleges and an early childhood education officer. Her husband, Howard Cooke, also trained as a teacher; they married in July 1939, and had three children together – Howard Jr., Richard, and Audrey. After their marriage they initially taught together in a remote community in Portland Parish.
In 1991, Cooke's husband was appointed Governor-General; he had previously been a People's National Party politician. She supervised the running of King's House during his 15-year tenure, and cultivated vegetable gardens on the grounds as well as raising goats, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. She had a particular interest in music, serving as patron of the Jamaica Independence Festival and starting the tradition of annual Christmas concerts at King's House.
Cooke was 89 years when her husband left office, and he was 90. They retired to Brandon Hill, in Montego Bay Jamaica, and celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in 2009. Sir Howard Cooke died in July 2014, aged 98, mere days before the couple's 75th wedding anniversary. Lady Ivy Cooke died in June 2017, 22 days before what would have been her 101st birthday.

# Wetheringsett

Richard Hakluyt, writer best known for promoting the English colonisation of North America through his works, was rector of All Saints from 1590 to 1616.
# Non possumus

"Non possumus" is a Latin, Catholic, religious phrase that translates as "we cannot". It originated with the martyrdom of the Martyrs of Abitinae, who were murdered in AD 304 when Roman Emperor Diocletian prohibited Christians under penalty of death to possess the Sacred Scriptures, convene on Sunday to celebrate the Holy Eucharist, and erect premises for their assemblies.
The phrase was not intended to express incapacity but, on the contrary, absolute moral determination to obey the Catholic Faith.
The full sentence of the phrase is "sine dominico non possumus" ("we cannot [live] without Sunday"). It expresses the necessity of Sunday and the Holy Eucharist for Christianity.
Another ecclesiastic use of the phrase has been attributed to Pope Leo the Great, who wrote in AD 448 that "quibus viventibus non communicavimus mortuis communicare non possumus" ("we cannot hold communion in death with those who in life were not in communion with us"). Recourse to this principle has been had to justify various ecclesiastical practices, including refusal of funeral liturgies and refusal of abrogating the ex-communication of decedents. Some have used it to object to ecumenism and general relations with non-Christians.
The phrase has been vivid throughout the life of the Church, being used by pontiffs also in troubled times such as when Pope Pius VII was arrested by the French troops of Napoleon who had again invaded the Papal States in 1809. Offered various forms of compromises in exchange for his freedom, he said to his captors: "Non debemus, non possumus, non volumus" (we must not, we cannot, we will not") and accepted his exile first to Savona and then to France until 1814.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, "non possumus" dominated the diplomacy of Popes Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI, especially after the capture of Rome when the Supreme Pontiff became the prisoner in the Vatican and chose to limit his contact with the outside world. It is generally thought that the Second Vatican Council reversed this attitude.
This Latin phrase is also connected with the history of Poland. On 8 May 1953 Polish bishops sent a formal letter to the party leaders of the communist People's Republic of Poland to declare their decisive refusal to subordinate the Church to the communist state. In retaliation, the government imprisoned their Primate, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński.
