# Hiram Lloyd

Hiram Lloyd (July 23, 1863 – September 10, 1942) was an American builder and politician. He served as lieutenant governor of Missouri from 1921 to 1925.

## Early life

Lloyd's English parents, Thomas and Hannah (Pepper) Lloyd, came to the United States in 1860 and settled in St. Clair County, Illinois, where Thomas became the county inspector of mines. Hiram Lloyd was born on the family farm there in 1863, one of eleven children. His brother Henry Lloyd became a doctor and was at one time chief coroner of St. Louis.
Lloyd moved to St. Louis in 1879 to be a carpenter's apprentice. He worked as a carpenter until 1890, when he began working as an independent contractor. In 1903 he incorporated the Hiram Lloyd Building & Construction Company, which became a prominent contractor constructing private and public buildings in the Midwest, including several high schools in St. Louis, the East St. Louis custom house and post office, and many other public buildings. A newspaper article in 1924 claimed the company had constructed more than ten million dollars worth of projects.
Lloyd was active in the Odd Fellows, serving as the Missouri Grand Master in 1903-4.

# Stabbing the Drama

| AllMusic | |
Stabbing the Drama is the sixth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Soilwork. The record was released on 28 February 2005, via Nuclear Blast label.
For a time this was the last to feature long-time guitarist Peter Wichers, who left the band after the subsequent tour until rejoining in 2008.
Style-wise, this could be considered a more diverse album than the previous record, Figure Number Five, taking elements of the past and present, and potential future. Most of the songwriting is done by guitarist Peter Wichers, and the central musical theme contains a simpler sound than heard on prior albums, with a reduction of harmonic guitar leads and a more metalcore-centric approach, such as usage of stop-start rhythm guitar work and breakdowns. This is also the first album to feature new drummer Dirk Verbeuren, who brings a more technical approach to the band's drumming compared to the previous two albums.
Some pressings of the CD have the times for tracks three and four reversed, with parts of track three still at the start of track four. Various pressings of the CD also mislabeled the final track, "If Possible", to the 12th Bonus Track "Wherever Thorns May Grow" which is only featured on the US and European limited digipak edition, respective the Japanese and Korean pressings. 1,000 copies were made in a limited collectors metal case in the shape of the Soilworker's logo.
Threat Signal did a cover version of the song "Stabbing the Drama" along with Speed, Live.
Some copies of Stabbing the Drama were mastered using HDCD. Although it is unmarked, playing the album in a CD player able to decode HDCD will give superior sound quality.

# High table

The origin of "High Table" goes back to the physical layout of the dining halls of English colleges at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
The high table is a table for the use of fellows (members of the Senior Common Room) and their guests in university dining halls, where the students eat in the main space of the hall at the same time. They remain the norm at Oxford and Cambridge, followed by Dublin and Durham universities, which are all organized into colleges. Other academic institutions (such as University of London; University of St Andrews; University of Manchester; University of Bristol and St. David's University College in the UK; Queen's University; the University of Notre Dame in the United States; Trinity College and Massey College at the University of Toronto, St Paul's College, University of Sydney; and University of Hong Kong) also have high tables.
The table is normally at the end of the dining hall on a raised platform, although this is not always the case. Typically, the high table is set across the breadth of the hall, and is thus at right angles to the tables in use by the main body of diners, which stretch along the hall's length. On more formal evening occasions, dinner jackets are worn. It is also still common to wear academic gowns, at least for dinner.
The high table preserves what was the normal style of eating in large houses in the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, when the whole household ate together in one hall, but in segregated and sharply differentiated styles. Traditionally the high table had chairs and the other tables benches, but today many halls have all-chair seating. The food is generally different, often completely so.
Other bastions of this dining layout include some boarding schools (including the fictional Hogwarts) and the Inns of Court in London.
"High table" is sometimes used figuratively in a variety of ways to suggest things thought to be characteristic of Oxbridge fellows.

# Orest Kiprensky

Orest Adamovich Kiprensky (Russian: Оре́ст Ада́мович Кипре́нский; 24 March [O.S. 13 March] 1782 – 17 October [O.S. 5 October] 1836) was a leading Russian portraitist in the Age of Romanticism. His most familiar work is probably his portrait of Alexander Pushkin (1827), which prompted the poet to remark that "the mirror flatters me."

## Biography

Orest was born in the village of Nezhnovo in the Saint Petersburg Governorate on 24 March [O.S. 13 March] 1782. He was an illegitimate son of a landowner Alexey Dyakonov, hence his name, derived from Kypris, one of the Greek names for the goddess of love. He was raised in the family of Adam Shvalbe, a serf. Although Kiprensky was born a serf, he was released from the serfdom upon his birth and later his father helped him to enter a boarding school at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg in 1788 (when Orest was only six years old).
He studied at the boarding school and the academy itself until 1803. He lived at the academy for three more years as a pensioner to fulfill requirements necessary to win the Major Gold medal. Winning the first prize for his work Prince Dmitri Donskoi after the Battle of Kulikovo (1805) enabled the young artist to go abroad to study art in Europe.
A year before his graduation, in 1804, he painted the portrait of Adam Shvalbe, his foster father (1804), which was a great success. The portrait so impressed his contemporaries, that later members of the Naples Academy of Arts took it for the painting by some Old Master – Rubens or van Dyck. Kiprensky had to ask the members of the Imperial Academy of Arts for letters supporting his authorship.
After that, Kiprensky lived in Moscow (1809), Tver 1811, Saint Petersburg 1812, in 1816–1822 he lived in Rome and Napoli. In Italy he met a local girl Anna Maria Falcucci (Mariucci), to whom he became attached. He bought her from her dissolute family and employed as his ward. On leaving Italy, he sent her to a Roman Catholic convent.
In 1828, Kiprensky came back to Italy, as he got a letter from his friend Samuil Galberg, informing him that they had lost track of Mariucci. Kiprensky found Mariucci, who had been transferred to another convent. In 1836 he eventually married her. He had to convert into Roman Catholicism from Russian Orthodoxy for this marriage to happen. He died by pneumonia in Rome later that year. He's been interred into the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte.
