# Turkey trot (dance)

The turkey trot was a dance made popular in the early 1900s. The Turkey Trot was done to fast ragtime music popular in the decade from 1900 to 1910 such as Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. Driven largely by youth counterculture of the time, the turkey trot fad quickly fell out of favor as the foxtrot, a much more conservative dance step based on the waltz, rose to popularity in 1914.
The basic step consisted of four hopping steps sideways with the feet well apart, first on one leg, then the other with a characteristic rise on the ball of the foot, followed by a drop upon the heel. The dance was embellished with scissor-like flicks of the feet and fast trotting actions with abrupt stops.
It has been said that dancers John Jarrott and Louise Gruenning introduced this dance as well as the Grizzly Bear at Ray Jones Café in Chicago, IL. around 1909. Another theory states that it originated on the Barbary Coast, San Francisco, California. Joseph M. Daly wrote music for the dance in 1912. Irene and Vernon Castle raised its popularity by dancing the Turkey Trot in the Broadway show The Sunshine Girl.
It achieved popularity chiefly as a result of its being denounced by the Vatican. It was thought that the positions assumed by the dancers were offensively suggestive. Conservative members of society felt the dance promoted immorality and tried to get it banned at public functions, which only served to increase its popularity.
There were news reports of dancers being fined because "their Turkey Trots were interpreted by the courts as disorderly conduct." In another instance, fifteen working girls were fired from their jobs with the Philadelphia song publisher Curtis Publishing when they were caught doing the turkey trot, although it was during their lunch break.
One of the means to combat "offensive" dances was the 1913 song, Anti-Ragtime Girl by composer-lyricist Elsie Janis: …She don’t do the Bunny Hug, nor dance the Grizzly Bear / She hasn't learned the Turkey Trot / …She can't tell a Tango from a Can Can or a Jig / …She's my little Anti-Ragtime Girl….

## In popular culture

The song "Let's Turkey Trot" by "Little Eva" Boyd and the Cookies (sometimes misattributed to Carole King) reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1963, fifty years after the dance step's heyday.

# Tilting car

A tilting car is a type of automobile that has the ability to change the angle between the road and the bottom of the passenger cabin in a way that allows it to avoid rolling over while the vehicle is driving through a curve. Tilting is critically important for narrow-track vehicles because unlike wider vehicles, the acceleration required to make a non-tilting narrow vehicle skid during a curve is less than that required to make it roll over; tilting allows narrow-track vehicles to "lean into the curve". Tilting cars may have three or four wheels.

## Prototypes and examples

Several prototypes tilting cars have been built since 1950. Some include:
* Ford Gyron (1961)
* Lean Machine (General Motors, 1970s)
* F-300 Life-jet (Mercedes-Benz, 1997)
* Carver One (Carver, 2002),
* CLEVER (2003)
* Lumeneo Smera (2008)
* Nissan Land Glider (2009)
* Tilter [fr] Tilter (2011)
* Toyota i-Road (Toyota, 2013)
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class (C217) was a production car that could tilt up to 2.5 degrees, detecting curves with a camera and acceleration sensor. Its production model was first unveiled in 2014.
# 1887 South Donegal by-election

The 1887 South Donegal by-election was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of South Donegal on 2 February 1887. It arose as a result of the death of the sitting member, Bernard Kelly of the Irish Parliamentary Party, on 1 January.
The Times reported on 21 January that the seat had been offered by the Irish party leader, Charles Stewart Parnell, to the former member for Tyrone, Thomas Alexander Dickson, but that he had refused unless he could run as an 'independent Gladstonian Liberal' and would not sign the pledge required of members of the Irish Parliamentary Party; instead, it was reported that Tim Healy, who had lost his South Londonderry seat at the last general election, was to be the candidate. On 24 January, however, it was announced that Mr Parnell had asked J. G. Swift MacNeill, Professor of Constitutional and Criminal Law at the King's Inns, Dublin, to be the candidate, saying that MacNeill's election, as a Protestant, by the Catholic electors of South Donegal would have a great effect of dispelling the fears and prejudices of Northern Protestants'.
The other nominated candidate in the by-election was Henry Monsell Munster, representing the Liberal Unionists. Munster received 933 votes; MacNeill received 4,604 and was duly declared elected. He went on to represent the constituency until 1918.

Wheatley was historically a hamlet within the ancient parish of Doncaster, although it was sometimes described as an extra-parochial tract. From 1866 Wheatley was a civil parish in its own right.
When elected parish and district councils were established in 1894, Wheatley was given a parish council and included in the Doncaster Rural District. In 1900 the parish was removed from the rural district to become its own urban district. The parish and urban district were abolished on 9 November 1914 when the area was absorbed into the borough of Doncaster. In 1911 (the last census before the parish was abolished) it had a population of 5,363.
