# George R. Selway

George Rhys Selway (June 4, 1905 – February 28, 1989) was bishop of the Diocese of Northern Michigan in The Episcopal Church, serving from 1964 to 1972.

## Early life and education

Selway was born in Steubenville, Ohio on June 4, 1905, the son of Richard David Selway and Jennett Williams. He was educated in public schools, and then at Kenyon College where he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1929 and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity in 1947. He also studied at Bexley Hall from where he earned a Bachelor of Divinity in 1930.

## Ordination and career

Selway was ordained deacon in June 1930 and priest in May 1931 by the Bishop of Ohio Warren Lincoln Rogers. He married Edna Marie Wright on September 17, 1934, and together had four children. He served as priest-in-charge of Trinity Church in New Philadelphia, Ohio between 1930 and 1932, and then as curate of St Paul's Church in Akron, Ohio between 1932 and 1934. In 1934, he became rector of St Mark's Church in Toledo, Ohio, where he remained till 1945. He served as rector of St Paul's Church in Lansing, Michigan from 1945 to 1959. Prior to his election as bishop, he was dean of Trinity Cathedral in Phoenix.

## Bishop

Selway was consecrated as bishop on October 1, 1964 in St Paul's Church, Marquette, Michigan. He was very liberal and concerned with urban problems and social activism which weren't priorities for many in his new diocese. However, he was an avid fly fisherman, hunter, and sailor. These qualities, and much travel, helped him fit in with the people of northern Michigan. As bishop he dispersed more leadership responsibilities to lay people, which paved the way for the Mutual Ministry model used today. In 1969, women in the diocese were allowed to become wardens of vestries. He was also able to make progress in increasing base pay and benefits for the clergy in the diocese
After his retirement in 1972, he became the first executive director of Episcopal Community Services in Arizona.
# Astragalus scaphoides

Astragalus scaphoides, the bitterroot milkvetch, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, the third-largest plant family in the world. It is found only in a small area of southwest Montana and adjacent parts of Idaho. It grows on shallow, south-facing slopes, in semi-arid sage scrub.
Astragalus scaphoides is a perennial herbaceous plant, with pinnate leaves. The pale yellow flowers open in May and are visited by several species of bumblebees and solitary bees, including species from the genera Osmia and Anthophora.
Plants can be found near Lemhi Pass on the Montana-Idaho border, and near Bannack State Park in Montana.

# 1999 arrest of Iranian Jews

In 1999, the Intelligence Ministry of Iran arrested 13 Iranian Jews, accusing them of spying for Mossad. Security agents arrested 13 Jewish residents of the Iranian cities of Shiraz and Isfahan, including five merchants, a rabbi, two university professors, three teachers in private Hebrew schools, a kosher butcher and a 16-year-old boy, accusing them of spying for Israel. After a trial in Islamic Revolutionary Court, 10 were sentenced to 4–13 years in prison. The Israeli government and many U.S. Jewish groups and Jewish federations worldwide organized a pressure campaign globally against the Government of Iran, with demonstrations in front of Iranian embassies worldwide.
As a result of the pressure campaigns and secret negotiations, the prisoners were gradually freed in small groups. The last prisoners were released on February 19, 2003. First news were leaked online on March 18, the news was ignored amid the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. All of them emigrated to Israel and live there with their families. The arrests have later been described as discriminatory in the broader view of antisemitism in Iran.

# Lancashire Telegraph

The Lancashire Telegraph, formerly the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, is a local tabloid newspaper distributed in East Lancashire, England. It is edited by Richard Duggan. The Lancashire Telegraph prints Monday to Saturday. There are around twenty towns in the area, including Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Darwen, Nelson, Clitheroe, Colne and Rawtenstall.
As well as being editor of the Lancashire Telegraph, Duggan is the regional editor of Newsquest's newspaper brands across the North West, including The Bolton News, Bury Times, The Oldham Times, Warrington Guardian and Wirral Globe. The newspapers are owned by Newsquest, a division of Gannett, a firm based in the United States.

## History

The newspaper was founded by Thomas Purvis Ritzema, a young newspaper manager, who purchased two shops at 19 and 21 Railway Road, Blackburn, for the launch of his venture. The first copy appeared on the streets on 26 October 1886, and sold for a ha’penny. It was known then as the Northern Daily Telegraph, and it was the first evening newspaper to be published in East Lancashire.
In 1894, the head office was moved to the corner site of Railway Road and High Street. From 7 September 1939, soon after the start of World War II, advertisements gave way to news on the front page. On 10 December 1956, it changed its title to the Northern Evening Telegraph and on 2 September 1963, the name changed again to Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
The newspaper used full colour for the first time, on 11 November 1963, with spot colour introduced on 25 January 1965, and colour in classified advertising following on 19 March 1965. In 1982, it moved to the south side of High Street, which marked the introduction of new computerised technology.
The new offices were built on part of the Dutton's brewery site; the old offices were demolished, and after the remainder of the brewery closed in the mid 1980s, a supermarket (Morrisons) was built on the site. In 1995, the Lancashire Evening Telegraph became the first regional newspaper in Britain to put daily, updated news on the internet.
In February 2006, in order to cut costs, the company announced it was to close its district offices in the Lancashire towns of Burnley, Accrington and Darwen. On 17 July 2006, the newspaper changed its name to the Lancashire Telegraph, as it switched to overnight printing, in order to distribute copies in the morning.
In March 2017, the newspaper moved to Church Street, and the offices on High Street were converted into flats. It is now based at the Freckleton Business Centre on Freckleton Street.

Al is a friendly janitor who lives with his dog, Eddie, in a small apartment on the West Side in New York City. However, their lives are rather unpleasant due to the apartment's small size and lack of space. One day while Al is shaving, a large bird pokes his head in through the bathroom window and invites both Al and Eddie to live on a large, tropical island in the sky. Al is hesitant to accept the offer, but Eddie convinces him to do so.
The following day, the large bird flies Al and Eddie to the island. Both janitor and dog are immediately fascinated by the island's scenery and are warmly welcomed by the local birds. For days, Al and Eddie live peacefully on the island and believe it to be paradise. One morning, however, Al and Eddie are horrified to discover that, as a result of staying on the island, they are gradually turning into birds. Realizing their mistake, Al and Eddie use their newly-acquired bird abilities to fly home. During the flight, their abilities start to disappear, but Eddie, exhausted, crashes into the sea. After returning home, Al is devastated over Eddie's disappearance until Eddie, being a talented swimmer, manages to swim back home to Al. Reinvigorated, Al and Eddie live out their lives happily, deciding that "paradise lost is sometimes heaven found".

## Description

The tree can grow to a maximum height of 30 m (98 ft) that has obscure stipules on the branchlets. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes have a linear shape and are straight or slightly sickle shaped with a length of 10 to 20 cm (3.9 to 7.9 in) and a width of 4 to 9 mm (0.16 to 0.35 in). The dark green coloured phylloeds are thin and pliable and have an apex that is occasionally uncinate and have six to nine anastomosing veins of which one to three are much more clearly defined than the others. It blooms between August and September producing golden flowers.

## Distribution

It is endemic to south eastern parts of Queensland and north eastern parts of New South Wales where it is often found along the margins of rainforest communities.

# Acacia granitica

Acacia granitica commonly known as the granite wattle is a shrub in the family Fabaceae. Endemic to Australia, it occurs on the New England Tableland of New South Wales and southern Queensland. It is a species tolerant of poor drainage, frost and snow.

## Description

Acacia granitica is a spreading or upright shrub 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft) high and wide, occasionally growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall in favourable conditions. Its branches grow horizontally from ground level and have a lined, roughish bark. Smaller branches are smooth and generally round. The phyllodes are more or less rigid, straight and narrowly elongated, 10–25 cm (4–10 in) long and 0.5–3 mm (0.02–0.1 in) wide. Each phyllode is smooth or has fine silky hairs with several obscure parallel veins and occasionally a more prominent midvein tapering to a stiff point. The phyllodes narrow to a short curved lined stalk. The inflorescence consists of 14-22 pale yellow to bright yellow flowers 3–10 mm (0.1–0.4 in) long and appear in pairs in the phyllode axis. The flower stalks are 0.5–3 mm (0.02–0.1 in) long covered in fine hairs. The seed pods are a dull mid-brown, narrow, either straight or with a definite curve and 3–9.5 cm (1–4 in) long and 2–3 mm (0.08–0.1 in) wide. They are also finely furrowed lengthwise, brittle and firm at maturity and either smooth or with several fine hairs at the apex. A species tolerant of snow and frost and wet situations, it flowers from late July to early October.

## Taxonomy and naming

Acacia granitica was first formally described by Joseph Maiden in 1921 and the description was published in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales. This wattle was initially named Acacia doratoxylon var. ovata in 1921 by Maiden and Ernst Betche from a specimen collected near Stanthorpe. In 1921, Joseph Maiden raised the variety to species status, giving it the name Acacia granitica because the name Acacia ovata was already in use for a different species. Maiden did not give a reason for the epithet (granitica) but wrote "apparently always on granite".

## Distribution and habitat

This species mainly grows in north-eastern New South Wales near Bendemeer, Torrington and Guyra on granite outcrops in shallow sandy soil and also on sandstone in eucalypt forests, sometimes in heath or near creeks north of Grafton New South Wales to Crows Nest in Queensland. It tolerates poor drainage, frost and snow.
