# Robert Glenn Sr.

Robert Glenn, Sr. (September 10, 1813 – August 10, 1887) was a pioneer farmer and politician from Wyalusing, Wisconsin, who spent three terms (1863, 1865, and 1874) as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

## Background

Glenn was born September 10, 1813, in what was described in 1874 as "within the present limits of the city of Philadelphia...". He attended public schools, and became a farmer. He moved to Wisconsin in 1840, and settled in the lead mines near Potosi. He moved to Wyalusing in 1850, where he was a merchant and sold produce until 1860, when he returned to farming. He is credited with naming the village "Wyalusing" after Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, because of a perceived resemblance.

## Public office

As early as 1840-43, he was a "judge of the precinct" (apparently equivalent to a justice of the peace) for the mining camp precinct in the Town of Harrison called "Big Platte", then "Red Dog". He would hold various offices in the Town of Wyalusing, including Supervisor (equivalent to city council member) in 1854-59, assessor in 1860, treasurer in 1862 and 1862–70, supervisor again 1863-64, 1870–74, 1878–79, 1882, 1884, 1887, and 1897.
He was first elected to the Assembly in 1862 (as a Republican) from the 5th Grant County assembly district (the Towns of Cassville, Beetown, Glen Haven, Tafton, Little Grant, Wyalusing, and Patch Grove), to succeed fellow Republican Samuel Newick. He was assigned to the standing committee on agriculture and manufactures. He was replaced for the 1864 session by Wood R. Beach, who was elected on the National Union ticket.
In 1864, he was re-elected to his old seat for the 18th Wisconsin Legislature, running this time on the National Union ticket (as did all Wisconsin Republicans of that era). He was put on the committee on charitable and benevolent institutions, and on enrolled bills. He did not return for the next session, being succeeded by Alvery A. Bennett, also running on the National Union ticket.
He was postmaster of the Wyalusing post office for some time in the 1860s.
He was elected to the county board of supervisors for 1870 and 1871, and would return in 1877-79 and 1884. In 1872 he was appointed one of the county's "Commissioners of the Insane" for 1873.
In 1873, Glenn returned to the Assembly as a Republican from what was now the 4th Grant County district, with 596 votes to 507 for Jared Warner, who had last served in the Assembly in 1861 as a Republican, but was running on the Reform Party ticket. Republican incumbent Christopher Hutchinson was not a candidate. Glenn was assigned to the committee on roads and bridges. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1874, and was succeeded by fellow Republican Delos Abrams.

## Personal life

Glenn was for many years an adherent ("receiver") of the teachings of the Swedenborgian Church of North America. Glenn died on August 10, 1887, after a gradual decline in health.
# Étienne Noël Damilaville

Étienne Noël Damilaville (21 November 1723 – 13 December 1768) was an 18th-century French man of letters, friend of Voltaire, Diderot and d'Alembert. He served in various military and administrative functions of the Ancien Régime. He was a member of the bodyguard of King Louis XV, and then a senior civil servant in the tax office responsible for supervising the Vingtième. His official roles meant that his correspondence was unexamined by censors, enabling him to circulate letters between leading thinkers of the day, most particularly during the Sirven affair.

## The Encyclopédie

Damilaville authored three articles in the Encyclopédie - Population, Peace and The Vingtième.

## Vingtieme

Damilaville is believed to have coauthored an article in the Encyclopédie on the Vingtieme tax regime with Diderot, his trusted associate. His treatise is largely a discussion on the nature of government, of civil society and of the economy. Like Montesquie, Damilaville makes a clear distinction between the state, as an aggregate of people in society, and government. The treatise uses this dichotomy between the state and government to rationalize the necessity of taxes; however, Damilaville also argues tax simplification or reform. What is important in his contention for tax simplification is the purpose of having or raising taxes on participants in society. According to Damilaville, tax burdens should not be understood in terms of ratios of an individual's income, rather through the ratio of taxes that concern an individual's sustenance after their monies have been deducted.

## Friendship with Voltaire

Voltaire regarded him as a very close friend, and wrote him at least 539 letters over eight years. They only actually met, for the first time, after they had been corresponding for five years, on 20 August 1765, when Damilaville visited Ferney.
Opinion of Damilaville was not universally positive: Melchior Grimm said of him:
   He had neither grace, nor mental wit, and he lacked the worldly savoir-faire which makes up for it. He was sad and heavy, and his lack of basic education always showed through.
# North Island (rugby union)

The North Island is a New Zealand men's domestic rugby union team selected from the North Island's players, based on where they first played senior representative rugby. They played against the South Island in the North vs South match between 1897 and 2012.
A match was to be played on 29 August 2020 at Eden Park, but was delayed until a week later on 5 September and played at Sky Stadium, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

# Oil Free Wellington

Oil Free Wellington is a protest group which was formed in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2012. It exists to oppose deep sea oil drilling off the coast of New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. It also works in support of other groups opposing fossil fuel exploration around New Zealand.

## Oil exploration in New Zealand

Oil exploration permits are given out at annual Block Offers by a branch of the New Zealand government. These annual events have been the focus of much protest organized by groups around the country.
The New Zealand Government has been strongly encouraging oil and gas exploration in the country.
Permits for exploration and drilling have been given to a wide variety of companies which include, Anadarko, Statoil, and Chevron. The Government Minister, Simon Bridges, has said that he is taking the environmental risks seriously and "will not allow cowboys" in New Zealand waters.

## Protest actions

Oil Free Wellington has led and been involved in many protest actions around Wellington and New Zealand.
* In September 2013 Oil Free Wellington led a protest march and blockade of the annual Petroleum Summit in Wellington.
* In January 2014 members of the group swam to an oil surveying ship which was berthed in Wellington harbor and attached a banner reading "oil free seas." Later in the year the same surveying boat was prevented from leaving, and much harbor traffic was prevented from entering the harbor, when protesters from Kaikōura swam and body boarded into the path of the surveying boat.
* In January 2014 Oil Free Wellington led a protest march to the offices of oil company Anadarko in Wellington to deliver a "trespass notice" which had been signed by Wellington city locals.
* In June 2014 members of the group rigged a banner outside the venue hosting the National Party's campaign conference. The National government had just opened protected sea areas to oil exploration potentially putting at risk the critically endangered Maui's Dolphin. The banner addressed to government minister Simon Bridges read, "Hey Simon, extinction is forever!"
* In October 2014 members scaled a building in Wellington to drop a "stop deep sea oil" banner protesting the Norwegian owned company Statoil which has permits for oil exploration in New Zealand waters. This was accompanied by events around the country.
* In December 2015 the group hosted protests at Wellington's waterfront expressing their opposition to oil exploration on the day the climate change talks in Paris ended. This featured dozens of kayaks, waka (a Māori canoe) and yachts, as well as hundreds of protesters on shore.
# Central Organisation for Modernisation of Workshops

The Central Organisation For Modernisation of Workshops (COFMOW) was a public sector undertaking in India, created in 1979 to modernise the workshops of Indian Railways. It was established through funding from the World Bank and is located in New Delhi, the national capital. It was dissolved by Indian Govt w.e.f Dec 01, 2022.

## History

At the time of integration of the Indian Railway system in 1952, there were 41 repair workshops dealing with periodic overhaul of coaches, wagons and locomotives. Day-to-day repairs were handled in over 300 repair depots and sick lines.
The last quarter century of planned development of Indian Railways has witnessed extensive changes in the mode of traction as well as development of new types of coaches and wagons. Diesel and electric locomotives have gradually replaced steam locomotives. The number of passenger coaches in service has almost doubled. The wagon stock holding is roughly 2.5 times that in 1951. Financial limitations, however, did not permit development of maintenance facilities compatible with the growth of rolling stock. Only 5 new workshops have been set up since 1952. The increased demand for maintenance was largely catered by piece-meal expansion of the existing facilities. Expenditure on workshops in this period was less than 2.5% of the total plan outlay on the railways. Nevertheless, to meet the requirement of new rolling stock, three new production workshops were set up.
The problems encountered in manufacture and maintenance of the rolling stock are largely due to obsolescence of machinery and plant, diverse product mix and layout deficiencies. The situation in respect of machinery and plant is a source of major concern. The proportion of overage machines in 1979 had increased to 77% from 47% in 1952. Due to paucity of available maintenance funds, an agreement was negotiated with the International Development Association of the World Bank for providing a credit of $95m for the first phase of workshop modernisation programme, expected to be completed by March 1983. Second and third phases of another 7 years envisage an estimated expenditure of Rs.400 crores inclusive of IDA Credits.
The unprecedented magnitude of this effort prompted the Indian Railways to set up a specialist organisation wholly devoted to the furtherance of this task. Thus, the Central Organisation for Modernisation of Workshops (COFMOW) came into existence in 1978 to implement the modernisation programme.
Cofmow is now the designated organisation of Indian Railways for selection, procurement and induction of modern workshop technologies and M&P. P. Ananth, Principal Chief Mechanical Engineer at COFMOW, has been granted the administrative and financial powers of the Principal Chief Administrative Officer and redesignated as Chief Administrative Officer, COFMOW.
# Paul Young (New Zealand politician)

Paul Young is a New Zealand politician who was an Auckland Councillor and a board member of the Counties Manukau District Health Board.

## Early life and education

Then aged 25, Young immigrated from Taiwan in 1989. The councillor operates his own business "Paul Young International", which operates events around New Zealand and Australia. He studied marketing at the University of Auckland and is married with two children.

## Political career

Young contested the 2011 Botany by-election under the New Citizen Party and came third. He later contested the Botany seat in the 2011 general election and 2014 general election, while affiliated to the Conservative Party. Young was unsuccessful in his attempts. He then ran again unsuccessfully to be Howick ward councillor in the 2016 Auckland local elections.
He was elected to Auckland Council in a 2018 by-election, replacing the late Dick Quax in the Howick ward. Young was Auckland's first Chinese councillor.
The politician was then re-elected to the council in the 2019 Auckland local elections. In 2019, Young's promotional material was subject to graffiti, which accused him of being associated with the Chinese Communist Party, with the attacks being described as "racist" in nature. During the campaign, he had been a keen advocate of "trackless trams".
In his tenure, Young opposed the regional fuel tax and the sale of council-owned parks in his ward. Meanwhile, he advocated to speed up delivery of the Eastern Busway project, voted to support climate change action through improving public transport, and supported cycleway construction in the city. He has also advocated to increase the speed of Covid-19 vaccination uptake in Asian communities.
He was unsuccessful in re-election in the 2022 Auckland local elections.

# Smith's Irrigation Ditch

Smith's Irrigation Ditch, originally the Big Ditch and also known as the City Ditch, is a historic ditch primarily visible in Washington Park, Denver, Colorado. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Denver's first irrigation canal, it was surveyed and built during 1860 to 1867, as an open unlined ditch 3 feet (0.91 m) wide at its bottom, steep sides, and 7 feet (2.1 m) wide at the top. It was dug using horse-drawn plows and scrapers, in addition to manual labor.
It runs from the Chatfield Dam through 15 miles (24 km) of Englewood, Colorado, with Englewood taking some of its municipal water supply from it. Denver's Water Department takes control at Harvard Gulch near S. Downing St. and East Harvard Avenue and runs it through an enclosed pipeline, now, for about 8 miles (13 km) to Washington Park, where it remains as an open channel. It sustains trees, flowers, grass there.
# Smithfield Road Historic District

The Smithfield Road Historic District is a rural historic district in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, along Old Smithfield Road (Rhode Island Route 146A). It extends along Old Smithfield Road north from its junction with Sayles Hill Road, and is roughly bisected by Spring Brook. It includes eight historic houses or farmsteads, two 19th-century cemeteries, and a dam (whose construction date is unknown) on Spring Brook just east of the road. The district encompasses a cross-section of the development of agricultural properties in North Smithfield over the 19th century, with properties dating from 1811 (1034 Old Smithfield Road) to 1932 (1172 Old Smithfield Road). The district covers 170 acres (69 ha), which includes lands currently and formerly in agricultural use.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
# Socastee Historic District

The Socastee Historic District, located on the Intracoastal Waterway in Socastee, South Carolina, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
It includes three contributing buildings, one contributing site, and one contributing structure. They are a metal swing bridge, two houses, one store and a pecan grove. It is one of the few remaining intact local examples of post-Civil War development.

## Samuel S. Sarvis House

Samuel Sarvis built his house in 1881, shortly before he was to be married.

## Thomas B. Cooper House

The Thomas B. Cooper house was built for Mr. Cooper by Robert M. Prince, Jr. in 1908. The exterior has recently been renovated.

## Thomas B. Cooper Store

The store was built in 1905 and closed in 1932.

## Swing bridge

The Socastee swing bridge was designed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It is a swing-span, Warren through-truss type bridge with rigid joints and was opened in 1936. It is 217 feet (66 m) long and 24 feet (7.3 m) feet wide.
A pamphlet printed for the opening of the Waterway in Socastee in 1936 discloses the Socastee bridge was built by the Tidewater Construction Corporation; according to a 1981 South Carolina Highway Department Survey, however, the bridge contains a plate bearing the name of Virginia Bridge & Iron Company. It is most likely the pieces for the bridge itself was fabricated by the Virginia Bridge & Iron Company, and was assembled by Tidewater Construction Corporation. Originally, the bridge had to be turned by hand. The gatekeeper worked from the house at the top of the bridge. The first operator of the bridge boarded at the Thomas B. Cooper house.
From the time of its construction, the Socastee turn bridge was the only means other than ferry to cross the Intra Coastal waterway. Located on Highway 544, it was to be closed after approval of a new bridge to be built on south of the Socastee bridge. Though the new bridge solved many traffic problems during the tourist season, it did not help the locals and it would have created many problems for Socastee residents that need to access Forestbrook Road, which is located approximately 0.2 miles on the right off Hwy. 544 west of the Socastee turn bridge. Additionally Peach Tree Road was located just 0.1 miles to the left. Thus the Socastee turn bridge not only has historic value, but it is still used in daily commuting.
