# Visual Arts Scotland

Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) is an exhibiting art organisation based in Edinburgh, Scotland representing fine and applied visual artists throughout the country. The society was founded in 1924 as the Scottish Society of Women Artists.
Visual Arts Scotland is a multi-disciplinary body that includes painters, textile artists, sculptors, ceramicists and photographers. It holds an annual exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy building. It is a registered charity (No. SC006715)

## History

In 1924, William McDougall founded the Scottish Society of Women Artists due to the fact that his daughter, Lily McDougall, was a talented painter and could not be recognised simply because she was a woman. In the early 20th century, women didn't have the ability to gain acknowledgment for their artistic skills because it was male dominant. William McDougall created this organisation to give women the opportunity to expand their artistic horizons and to encourage them to continue with their artistic ventures. This organisation lasted until the late 1980s when it was renamed as the Scottish Artists and Artist Craftsmen and admitted men for the first time. Alison Dunlop RSW was President of the Society in 1997-99, when it was re-named Visual Arts Scotland. This organisation has various and diverse artists from across the country as its members In recent years VAS have had Diana Hope, Robbie Bushe, Andrew Mackenzie and Sarah Calmus in President role.

## Notable members

* Louise Gibson Annand, twice President of the Scottish Society of Women Artists (1963–6 and 1980–5)
* Alison Kinnaird
* Anne Redpath, President of the Scottish Society of Women Artists (1944-7)

## Early life

Charles Alfred Quette was born in Paris on 19 May 1895.

## World War I

Quette originally was a soldat de 2e classe in the infantry. He transferred to aviation and on 5 July 1915 joined Escadrille MS.38 as a mechanic. On 24 August, he transferred again, to Escadrille C.64 as a gunner/observer on Caudrons. His service there earned him two citations in orders. He then trained as a pilot. On 11 April 1917, he was promoted to Corporal and assigned to Escadrille N.62 as a Spad pilot.
Quette scored his first aerial victory on 22 July 1917. He was then awarded the Médaille militaire; the accompanying citation noted he had already been wounded twice.

# Zaļenieki Manor

Zaļenieki Manor, also called Zaļā Manor because of the German word Grünhof, is a manor house in the Zaļenieki Parish of Jelgava Municipality in the Semigallia region of historical region of Latvia. Surrounded by a 27-hectare landscape park with ponds and lakes, it was one of the oldest properties of the Livonian Order in Semigallia. Its architecture enables the manor to be evaluated as the first and greatest early classical model in Courland.

## History

After the collapse of the Livonian Order in 1562, the manor became property and a popular hunting spot for Gotthard Kettler, first Duke of Courland and Semigallia. In 1766, Duke Ernst Johann von Biron signed the first order for the construction of the new manor. The initial architectural design is supposed to have been the work of Italian-born Russian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who died in 1771 before completion of the project. Construction began in 1768 and finished in 1775 under the supervision of Rastrelli's Danish-born assistant Severin Jensen, which explains the influence of both Late Baroque and Classicism architecture in the completed manor house.
In 1795, when the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia was incorporated into the Russian Empire, the Russian Emperor Paul I gave Zaļenieki Manor and all the estate to his brother-in-law Alexander of Württemberg. In 1850 his sons sold the property to the landlord of Bornsminde Manor Alexis von Scheping. His wife Aleksandra Lieven of Mežotne, after her husband's death, passed the estate over to the hands of the Baltic-German Count Karl Theodor von Medem of Eleja at the end of the nineteenth century. After the Latvian agrarian reforms in 1920, the building was nationalized and turned into a vocational secondary school, which continues in operation as of today.
Restoration work under the new stucco layers in the hall and several other rooms on the second floor revealed wall paintings. The facade of the Zaļenieki Manor has not undergone any major changes since the eighteenth century. However, the interior of the manor was redesigned and refitted from 1866 to 1868. The complex used to consist of more than 30 buildings, including stables and accommodation for the servants.
# Elvis Burrows

Elvis Vereance Burrows (born 24 February 1989) is a Bahamian swimmer who specializes in sprint freestyle and butterfly events. He is a four-time national record holder in his respective swimming events, and is a member of Kentucky Wildcats swimming team, upon his admission at the University of Kentucky.

## Biography

Elvis Vereance Burrows born in Freeport, Bahamas on 24 February 1989.

## Career

Burrows started out his swimming career, when he and his family moved to the United States to pursue his father's education with a doctorate of philosophy in theology. He won a state championship title for the sprint freestyle in 2005, and later emerged as the most valuable swimmer of the year at Seneca High School MCA in Louisville, Kentucky. With his outstanding achievements, he was eventually recruited by Gary Conelly, a coach and a relay swimmer who competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, to play for the Kentucky Wildcats swimming team. As a member of the team, Burrows earned two All-American honors for the freestyle and medley relays at the NCAA championships.
Burrows made into the international scene, when he represented his homeland Bahamas at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

It borders the neighborhoods of Hurt Park and Mountain View on the west, Downtown on the east, Gilmer on the north across the Norfolk Southern railyard and Old Southwest on the south.

## History

Originally residential in character, today the area is dominated by commercial and industrial uses. Today the area is the location of the West End Park.
# Monte Desert

The Monte Desert is a South American desert, lying entirely within Argentina and covering approximately the submontane areas of Catamarca, La Rioja, San Juan, San Luis and Mendoza Provinces, plus the western half of La Pampa Province and the extreme north of Río Negro Province. The desert lies southeast of the Atacama Desert in Chile and Peru, north of the larger Patagonian Desert, east of the Andes and west of the Sierra de Córdoba.

## Geography and climate

The delineations between the Monte Desert, the Atacama Desert, and the Patagonian Desert are not exact and the desert seems to be more-or-less continuous with the other two nearby deserts. The geography of the land is very similar to that of the interior Patagonian Desert, with volcanic sediments, piedmont plains, large mountain blocks and many usually dry salt lakes. The major river is the Río Colorado and its tributary the Río Desaguadero, which meet in the south of the region and provide its principal source of irrigation water for wine crops.
Due to the region lying on the eastern, or leeward, side of the Andes and west of the Sierra de Córdoba, it experiences very little rain. These rain shadow effects are the primary reason for the aridity of the region and the formation of the Monte and other nearby deserts. However, unlike the other two deserts, the Monte Desert does not experience an intense effect from the cold water currents off the South American coast. This allows the Monte Desert to support a wider variety of life than the other two more extreme deserts.

## Flora and fauna

The flora of the region is much more diverse than the nearby Patagonian Desert (which contains mainly shrubs and grasses) and the Atacama Desert (which is pretty much devoid of life). Shrubs and grasses are not only common, but tall cacti even appear in the more hospitable areas of the desert.
The fauna of the area is also very similar to that of the Patagonian Desert, only in greater diversity and number due to the Monte's more hospitable conditions. Small mammals like mice abound and larger animals like the guanaco and burrowing owl can be found as well.
The World Wildlife Fund has named one of their 'ecoregions' after this desert: NT0802.
# Phoenix Motorcars

Phoenix Cars LLC, d.b.a. Phoenix Motorcars, is a developer of zero emission, all-electric vehicles (EV) based in Anaheim, California, United States, focused on the deployment of light- and medium-duty EVs into the fleet and transit markets. The company was founded in 2002 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Yousuf LLC in 2009 and of EdisonFuture in 2020. Phoenix launched its all-electric 14-22 passenger shuttle bus with 100 mile range per charge in 2013. The bus is based on the versatile Ford E350/450 Series vehicle.
In November 2023, Phoenix acquired the electric transit bus division and associated battery leases of bankrupt bus company Proterra for $10M; Volvo bought the battery business proper.

## Restructuring and financing

On March 19, 2008, Phoenix Motorcars announced that it had completed a financing and restructuring, with Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Al Yousuf LLC, and Arlington, Virginia-based AES Corporation, as new investors, the departure of the Phoenix Motorcars’ original founders and the appointment of a new board of directors.
In mid-2010, Al Yousuf LLC closed on a deal with AES Corporation that enabled Phoenix Motorcars to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Yousuf LLC. This led to another restructuring of Phoenix Motorcars in less than 2 years, with the company switching its focus to its 3rd generation drive system targeted for buses and trucks on the Ford E350/E450 cutaway chassis.

## Production
### Zero Emission Utility Shuttle – ZEUS

Phoenix launched its third product in 2013, an all-electric 14-22 passenger shuttle bus with 100-mile range per charge.

# Port Royal, Mississippi

Port Royal is a ghost town in Coahoma County, Mississippi, United States.
Once a busy port on the Mississippi River, Port Royal today is covered by wetland and a portion of the Mississippi Levee. Nothing remains of the original settlement.

## History

Port Royal is the oldest town in Coahoma County, with land sales recorded prior to 1836. At that time, the Mississippi River curved east around "Horseshoe Bend", with Port Royal located at the east end of the bend.
The town may have originally been called "Powhatan", and its name was likely changed by William J. Oldham, an early settler—born in Port Royal, South Carolina—who owned land on the south bank of Horseshoe Bend.
In 1836, the newly created Coahoma County government (called the "Board of Police") designated Port Royal as its first county seat.
Port Royal was the largest and busiest town in Coahoma County, with a landing for steamboats and a few small trading stores and cabins. John Clark, the founder of Clarksdale, landed at Port Royal when he first arrived in the county.
Port Royal did not have a post office, and never incorporated.
In 1841, high waters on the Mississippi River flooded the town, and in 1842, the county seat was moved to the town of Delta.
The Mississippi River changed its course in 1848, creating the "Horseshoe Cutoff", and removing Port Royal from the contiguous flow of the river. As sediment built near the ends of Horseshoe Bend, the waterway became an oxbow lake (now called "Horseshoe Lake").
No longer a riverfront town, the economic impact was immediate and Port Royal ceased to exist. As told in 1905, "In this process, many beautiful plantations that bordered on the old river bed were abandoned and are now covered with cottonwood trees. Of old Port Royal, there remains nothing to mark its former greatness. A cotton patch covers the site."
# Zijldijk

Zijldijk (Dutch pronunciation:; Gronings: Zieldiek) is a village in the municipality of Eemsdelta, Groningen, the Netherlands.
It is located along the N46 road between the city of Groningen and the Eemshaven seaport.

## History

The village was first mentioned in 1424 as "Ubba Ffockema up den Zyldyck", and means sluice and dike. In 1272, a sluice was built at the site in the newly poldered land around 't Zandt. In 1317, a dike was built northwards towards Uithuizermeeden. In 1444, the land to the east of Zijldijk was poldered and the sluice became obsolete.
Zijldijk has three churches. The Mennomite church was built in 1772 in a non conspicuous barn-like building. It is still in use as a church. The Dutch Reformed church has been reconstructed as a village house. The Reformed Church was constructed in 1886, and nowadays serves as a care facility.
Zijldijk was home to 454 people in 1840.

# James McCoy (politician)

James McCoy (August 12, 1821 – November 8, 1895) was an American Democratic politician from California.

## Biography

McCoy was born 1821 in County Antrim, Ireland. He was a big, imposing man and came to the U.S. in 1842 and joined the Army in 1846, which was recruiting for the Mexican–American War. He came to San Diego in Summer of 1850 as part of the First U.S. Artillery (Magruder's Battery), as a non-commissioned officer. Sergeant McCoy and his troops helped protect the countryside during the war. After discharge in 1853, McCoy remained in San Diego.
McCoy worked odd jobs, surveying and carrying mail between Yuma and Tucson, Arizona.
In 1859 McCoy was elected Assessor of San Diego. He also started raising sheep near Cuyamaca.
McCoy was sheriff of San Diego County, California during 1862–1872. At the time the county stretched to the Colorado River. Charles Kelly described McCoy as "a big man over six feet tall who weighed 190 pounds [85 kilograms]. He could speak Spanish fluently. Everybody thought a great deal of him." Ephraim Morse said that during the time "there are only two men in San Diego that don't occasionally get drunk and they are James McCoy, the sheriff, and myself."
McCoy married Winifred "Winnie" Kearney on April 27, 1869. They bought a newly built two-story house in Old Town San Diego. The house was renovated in 1898 to Victorian style. The house was reconstructed in 1999 and is open to the public. It is located across the street from the Old Town Transit Center.
McCoy was president of the San Diego's board of trustees during 1869–1871, when San Diego did not have a mayoral form of government. During 1871–1874 he served in the California State Senate. While senator he worked on getting a railroad to San Diego (with limited success), mail service, and land cessions to San Diego. In 1871, at the urging of San Diego developers, he quietly introduced a bill in the legislature to permit portions of Balboa Park to be sold to private parties. However, San Diego residents learned of the plan and rallied to preserve the park as a public trust.
In 1887, McCoy and others laid out the subdivision of Moreno, east of Mission Bay. Moreno was named for Felipe Morena, a minor character in the novel Ramona.
McCoy died in his home in 1895, and his wife died later. They had no children.
