# Alfred Foster (judge)

Alfred William Foster (28 July 1886 – 26 November 1962) was an Australian judge.

## Biography

Foster was born at Beechworth to tobacconist Alfred William Foster and Sarah, née Brown. He attended school locally and graduated from Beechworth College at the age of fourteen. Interested in spiritualism, around this time Foster rejected Christianity as lacking in scientific evidence. He moved to Melbourne to study law in 1906, where he joined the Victorian Rationalist Association; after a defeat in a debate on socialism against a Victorian Socialist Party team including John Curtin, Foster became a convert to socialism and joined the party himself. He was called to the Bar in June 1910 but struggled in his early legal career.
In 1914 Foster became a prominent opponent of Australia's involvement in World War I, and he was later a strident anti-conscriptionist, defending those charged under the War Precautions Act and risking conviction himself with some of his speeches. He was also opposed to the Hughes government's censorship laws, and joined the Labor Party during the war, becoming a member of the central executive and standing for the federal seat of Balaclava in 1917 following the party split. He had married Beatrice May Warden on 12 January 1916. He joined the Food Preservers' Union, of which he became president, and was a delegate to the Victorian ALP Conference and the Trades Hall Council. He unsuccessfully contested the federal seat of Fawkner in 1922 and 1925.
In 1920 Foster was appointed as union advocate to the royal commission on the basic wage and successfully argued for an increase, although the recommendation was not implemented. His wife died from cancer in 1925. In 1924 he was counsel assisting the royal commission on the 1923 Melbourne police strike, and in 1926 represented the New South Wales and Queensland Labor governments in the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration case regarding standard working hours. In 1927 he resigned all political positions to become a judge in the County Court of Victoria; while he enforced the written laws he continued to advocate reform. On 25 January 1927 he married Ella Wilhelmina Jones. In 1934 he attracted controversy for telling a young witness, "There is no hell, sonny." He became a pacifist in the 1930s and after the outbreak of World War II supported close relations with the Soviet Union.
In October 1942 Foster was appointed to head the Women's Employment Board before being transferred to the Commonwealth Arbitration Court in October 1944. He was involved in a major case on standard hours that ran from 1945 to 1947 and delivered the judgement on the forty-hour week. In 1950 he influenced the decision to increase the weekly wage by £1. Despite being considered early in his term as a champion for the unions, he decided against eight officials who defied the Chifley government's emergency laws against assisting strikers in 1949. In 1952 he was assigned to the maritime industry and encouraged the replacement of outdated vessels, created a new seamen's award in 1955 and adjusted it to placate shipowners in 1960. He died at Sandringham in 1962.
# Balthasar van Lemens

Balthasar van Lemens (1637–1704) was a Flemish painter.

## Biography

Van Lemens was born at Antwerp in 1637, came over to England, and had some slight success in painting small pieces of history. Meeting, however, with misfortunes, he was reduced to working for other people, drawing and making sketches to assist the work of both painters and engravers. Among the latter he was chiefly employed by Paul van Somer II, the mezzotint-engraver. He also copied portraits by Van Dyck and others. He had a brother who practised in Brussels, and painted Balthasar's portrait. Van Lemens died in Westminster in 1704.

# Plattsburgh and Montreal Railroad

The Plattsburgh and Montreal Railroad was a railway company that operated in the state of New York in the mid-19th century. The company completed a 23-mile (37 km) line from Plattsburgh, New York, to the Canadian border north of Mooers, New York, in 1852. The company was subsequently reorganized as the Montreal and Plattsburgh Railroad in 1868 and consolidated with two other companies in 1873 to form the New York and Canada Railroad. The southern half of the company's line is part of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City's Canadian Subdivision; the Delaware and Hudson Railway abandoned the rest in 1925.

## History

The Plattsburgh and Montreal Railroad was incorporated in 1850. It was part of a scheme with the Lake St. Louis and Province Line Railway and Montreal and Lachine Railroad to construct a new line between Plattsburgh, New York, and Montreal. The line opened between Plattsburgh and Mooers on July 26, 1852, and to the Canadian border on September 20. It connected with the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad in Mooers. At the time, no railway extended south from Plattsburgh, but steamboats operating on Lake Champlain provided a connection with Burlington, Vermont, and other destinations.
The Plattsburgh and Montreal Railroad was reorganized as the Montreal and Plattsburgh Railroad on August 20, 1868. In 1869 it leased the northern portion of the Whitehall and Plattsburgh Railroad, which had been building south from Plattsburgh and encountered financial difficulties. The Central Vermont Railway leased both companies between 1871 and 1873, On the termination of the leases in 1873, the two railroads were consolidated with the New York and Canada Railroad, the new company keeping the name New York and Canada Railroad.
The New York and Canada built north to Rouses Point, New York, in 1876, which lessened the importance of the line to Mooers (known as the Mooers Branch under D&H control). The Delaware and Hudson Railway, successor to the New York and Canada, abandoned the line north of Canada Junction in 1925. The remaining part of the line between Plattsburgh and Canada Junction is part of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City's Canadian Subdivision.

# How'd a White Boy Get the Blues?

How'd a White Boy Get the Blues? is an album by the American musician Popa Chubby, released in 2001. It was his first album for Blind Pig Records. Popa Chubby supported the album with a North American tour. The title track was a minor hit in Europe.

## Production

The album was produced by Popa Chubby. He played a signature Gibson Flying V, which he chose in tribute to Albert King, as well as a 1966 Stratocaster. He raps on the opening track, "Daddy Played the Guitar and Mama Was a Disco Queen". Popa Chubby played most of the instruments, using samples, sitar, slides, and dobro on the album. He thought that most of the songs described finding sustentation in music. "It's a Sad Day in New York City When There Ain't No Room for the Blues" criticizes NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani for making the city a less diverse place.

## Critical reception

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| The Ottawa Citizen | |
| The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings | |
| The Press of Atlantic City | |
| Red Deer Advocate | |
Billboard called Popa Chubby "a postmodern bluesman," writing that, "with Chubby, blues is a distinctly urban, free-association groove." The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that Popa Chubby "melds pungent acoustic blues, fiery blues-rock, horn-kissed soul, rap and electronic touches into the accompaniment for semiautobiographical songs that soulfully explore his passion for the music and the hardships of being a bluesman in the Big Apple."
The Ottawa Citizen said that "Chubby's a slash-and-burn guitar player of the first order." The Press of Atlantic City labeled the album "part Robert Johnson, part Meat Loaf." The Red Deer Advocate praised the "upbeat music and sinister themes." The Buffalo News concluded that the album "erupts from the speakers with all of the visceral power of a present-day Muddy Waters."
AllMusic noted that, "although he's not entirely successful, Popa Chubby hits enough stylistic bases to make this a listenable and often invigorating album which gets extra points for attempting to push past the stereotypical blues clichés and into more experimental waters."

# Hemiphragmoceratidae

Hemiphragmoceratidae is a family of endogastrically brevconic oncocerids characterized by elaborately visored apertures in which the hyponomic sinus in mature specimens is on a spout-like process and there may be lateral and dorsal salients. (Sweet 1964, Flower 1950). Shells are compressed with the apical portion curved and the anterior straight. Siphucles are nummuloideal with expanded spheroidal segments and continuously actinosiphonate interiors.
The Hemiphragmoceratidae are probably descended from the Oncoceratidae and are known from the middle and upper Silurian but may range into the middle Devonian (Sweet 1964). They are similar with regards to their constricted and ornate apertures to the middle Silurian exogastric Trimeroceratidae and the Siluro-devonian discosorid Phragmoceratidae (Teichert 1964)
Some five genera have been described; Hemiphragmoceras, Conradoceras, Hexameroceras, Octamerella, and Tetrameroceras.

It is located in front of the Basilica of San Francisco (from which it takes its name) as well as the Lanza Market [es] and the headquarters of the La Paz Factory Worker's Departmental Union Federation. The plaza was enlarged to 6,163 square meters in 2011. It was designated the city's Plaza Mayor, although this title had been used in the past for the Plaza Murillo. Together with the 1,140-square-meter Plaza Fabril constructed at the same time in front of the Factory Worker's Federation, it constitutes the largest open public space in urban La Paz.
It is located in the old town, and bordered on the north by Perez Velasco street, which is a short segment of La Paz's main artery. Perez Velasco roughly follows the route of the now-culverted Choqueyapu River.

Following the dictatorship years of 1971–82, elected president Hernán Siles Suazo came to the Plaza first upon returning from exile. In the 2003 Gas War, the plaza was the central gathering place for crowds opposing the privatization of Bolivia's gas resources and demanding the resignation of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.

# Alfred Machin (writer)

Alfred George Fysh Machin (11 October 1888 – 15 December 1955) was an early twentieth-century British writer on the evolution of societies. Writing at the time when Darwin's theory of evolution was being reappraised in the light of the discovery of Gregor Mendel's work and advances in our knowledge of genetics, Machin tried to make sense of society in evolutionary terms.
In The Ascent of Man (a title he used long before Jacob Bronowski made his famous television series of the same name), he compares the ideas of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer in particular, with reference to Benjamin Kidd. The book is notable for his theory that the ills of society, and in particular mental illness, are caused by the increasing demands of society on the human organism which is adapted for life in small, unpoliced, communities of equals, rather than the constraining power structures of modern societies which leave man anything but free. This line of thought would later be expressed by Boris Sigis and Wilfred Trotter, and by Sigmund Freud in Civilisation and its Discontents

## Early career

Machin was articled to a solicitor in Hull in 1913. In 1921 he started a practice at Luton, Bedfordshire.

## Politics

Machin was a member of the Liberal party. He was elected to Bedfordshire County Council. He was Liberal candidate for Bedford at the 1929 General Election, when he finished second.

# Bananas!*

Bananas!* is a 2009 Swedish documentary directed by Fredrik Gertten about a conflict between the Dole Food Company and banana plantation workers in Nicaragua over alleged cases of sterility caused by the pesticide DBCP.
The film was criticized by Dole for containing "patent falsehoods". After a screening at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June 2009, Gertten was sued for defamation by Dole on 8 July. The lawsuit was preceded by threats of legal action from Dole aimed against the LA Film Festival, which resulted in sponsors pulling support and the film being removed from competition. Dole dropped their lawsuit against Fredrik Gertten and Bananas!* on 15 October 2009.
In September 2009, the Swedish parliament members Mats Johansson (M) and Luciano Astudillo (S) took the initiative of displaying the movie in the Parliament of Sweden, this being its premiere in Sweden.
In late 2010 a court in Los Angeles decided in favor of the movie crew, making it possible to release the film in the US. A judge awarded the filmmakers nearly $200,000 in fees and costs.
In 2011, Gertten directed the film Big Boys Gone Bananas!* about how the company was sued by Dole.
