# Isaac Basire (engraver)

Isaac Basire (20 September 1704 – 24 August 1768) was an engraver and first in a family line of prolific and well-respected engravers. Isaac Basire was known as a map engraver. His most well-known work is the frontispiece to an edition of Bailey's dictionary (1755).

## Family

He was born in London, the son of Jacques or James Basire, a Huguenot and native of Rouen, and Magdelaine Lair. Isaac sparked a prodigious line of engravers, including his son James, grandson James (1769-1822), and great-grandson James (1796-1869). There is some difficulty in assigning works to a particular member of the family. All four worked as engravers, sometimes as an apprentice to his father, with overlapping periods of productivity, and three shared the same name.

### James Basire

James Basire, also known as James Basire Sr., was the most significant of the family of engravers. He was noted for his skill at architectural prints and his apprenticing of the young William Blake.

### James Basire II

James Basire the second (12 November 1769 – 13 May 1822) succeeded his father in an appointment from the Society of Antiquaries, indicating that he was a good draughtsman, a capable and accomplished engraver. His work and methods were nearly indistinguishable from his father's. Much of his best work was published by the Society of Antiquaries in 1808.

### James Basire III

The last known James Basire was born in 1796 and died in London on 17 May 1869. He did a number of plates of Sussex country-houses including Glynde Place and Glyndebourne House, but his work and artistic skill were not as well-regarded.
# Richard Cooper, the elder

Richard Cooper the elder (1701–1764) was an English engraver, who for most of his career worked in Edinburgh.

## Life

Cooper was born in London, and studied engraving under John Pine. On the death of his father he was able to visit Italy, where he spent several years studying the masters, becoming a competent artist, and forming a collection of drawings and prints.
On his return to England Cooper went with a Mr. Guthrie, to Edinburgh where he settled as an engraver. He built a house in St. John Street, which he decorated with his own pictures. He took on apprentices including Robert Strange.
Cooper died in 1764, and was buried in the Canongate churchyard, Edinburgh.

## Works

Cooper is best known for his contemporary portraits. Among his line engravings were:
* John Taylor the oculist, after William de Nune;
* William Carstares and Andrew Allan, both after W. Robinson;
* Hew Dalrymple, Lord North Berwick, after William Aikman;
* John Napier, the inventor of logarithms;
* George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys, and others.
He also engraved in mezzotint, examples being:
* Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll, after Aikman;
* John Dalrymple, 2nd Earl of Stair, after Godfrey Kneller;
* Lady Wallace, and others.
Cooper engraved anatomical plates for the Edinburgh Medical Essays, and book-plates, and other similar compositions.
He is also considered by some to be the founder of The Canongate Concert Hall, the first building purpose-built for theatre in Scotland. In 1747 he applied to the Edinburgh Dean of Guild Court to build 'a house in a garden opposite to St. John's Cross, Canongate, wholly belonging to himself in property', however it was used as a concert hall. Built during the 1737 Theatres Licensing Act, it attempted to circumvent the legislation by displaying concerts of music instead of formal plays but was eventually closed due to a lack of Royal Permit before reopening as the Theatre Royal in 1767.

## Family

About 1738 Cooper married Ann Lind, by whom he left a son, Richard Cooper the younger, who followed his father's profession.
# John Goldar

John Goldar (1729–1795) was an English engraver.

## Life

Born at London in 1738, Goldar resided in Charlotte Street, Blackfriars Road, Southwark. He made a couple of forays into print publishing on his own account (of John Dixon after William Lawrenson, and much later of naval prints and after Henry Richter), but mostly worked for the book trade.
On 16 August 1795 Goldar died suddenly of apoplexy, while walking with his daughter through Hyde Park, London.

## Works

Goldar is best known for his engravings of the pictures painted by John Collet, in imitation of William Hogarth. Four of these, published by John Boydell in 1782, represent a series entitled "Modern Love", and among others were The Recruiting Sergeant, The Female Bruisers, The Sacrifice, The Country Choristers, and The Refusal. Similar subject matter was in his engravings after Philip Dawe, Samuel Hieronymus Grimm and Herbert Pugh.
Goldar also engraved portraits, including those of the Rev. William Jay, James Lackington the bookseller, Peter Clare the surgeon, and others. In 1771 he exhibited an unfinished proof of an engraving after John Hamilton Mortimer at the exhibition of the Incorporated Society of Artists.
As an illustrator, Goldar's work included a History of England (1789) for John Harrison. This was based, at some distance, on that by Paul de Rapin. He also had some plates in The New English Theatre (1777) published by Lowndes.
# Thomas Kitchin

Thomas Kitchin (also Kitchen; 1718–1784) was an English engraver and cartographer, who became hydrographer to the king. He was also a writer, who wrote about the history of the West Indies.

## Life

He was born in Southwark, and was apprenticed to Emanuel Bowen in 1732. Originally based in Clerkenwell, by late 1755 Kitchin was established on Holborn Hill. From 1773 Kitchin was royal hydrographer to the king. He married Sarah Bowen, daughter of Emanuel, in 1739, and then Jane, daughter of Joseph Burroughs, in 1762. He died in St Albans on 23 June 1784. Kitchin lived and worked in London until his retirement.

## Works

He produced John Elphinstone's map of Scotland (1746), Geographia Scotiae (1749), and The Small English Atlas (1749) with Thomas Jefferys. The Large English Atlas (with Bowen 1749–60) was a serious attempt to cover England at large scale. In 1755 Kitchin engraved the Mitchell Map of North America. He worked for London Magazine. He produced 170 maps for London Magazine (1747–83). Kitchin was the head hydrographer for the King of England. Kitchin frequently copied the works of other cartographers, greatly expanding the catalog of his work as a cartographer.
His book, The Present State of the West-Indies: Containing an Accurate Description of What Parts Are Possessed by the Several Powers in Europe was published in 1778 bt R. Baldwin in London.
In 1783, he wrote, The Traveller's Guide Through England and Wales, which listed most towns and cities with mileages back to London.
Kitchin died in June 1784 and was buried in St Alban's Cathedral. His memorial stone has not survived.

# Edward Rooker

Edward Rooker (c. 1712 – 22 November 1774) was an English engraver, draughtsman and actor.

## Life and work

Rooker was born in Towcester in Northamptonshire around 1712, to Michael and Ann Rooker, and was a pupil of Henry Roberts, a landscape engraver. He became celebrated for his architectural plates, which he executed in an extremely rich and artistic style. Art historian Horace Walpole termed him the "Marc Antonio" of architecture.
Among Rooker's early works are a view on the Thames from Somerset House (1750), and a view of Vauxhall Gardens (1751), both after Canaletto; a view of the Parthenon for Dalton's 'Views of Sicily and Greece' (1751), and a section of St. Paul's Cathedral, decorated according to the original intention of Sir Christopher Wren, from a drawing by J. Gwyn and S. Wale (1755).
Rooker also contributed plates to Sir William Chambers' 'Civil Architecture' (1759) and 'Kew Gardens' (1763), James Stuart's 'The Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' (1762), and Robert Adam's 'Ruins of the Palace of Diocletian at Spalatro' (1764).
Another of Rooker's works is a set of six views of London, engraved in the manner of Piranesi from drawings by Paul and Thomas Sandby, which he published himself in 1766. In that year he also drew and engraved a large view of Blackfriars Bridge, then in course of construction. He engraved many landscapes after William Pars, Paul Sandby, Richard Wilson, and others. He also etched, in conjunction with Sandby, three of the set of six large plates of subjects from Tasso's "Gerusalemme Liberata" (painted by John Collins [c. 1725 - c. 1759]).
The headings of the 'Oxford Almanacks' from 1769 to 1775 were all the joint work of Edward and his son Michael. Rooker was an original member of the Incorporated Society of Artists, and exhibited with them from 1760 to 1768. His last work was done for the 'Copper Plate Magazine', forming a series of landscapes and portraits, which began to appear a few months before his death.
Rooker was also an actor, working at the Drury Lane Theatre in London between 1752 and 1774, often playing the role of the harlequin.
Edward Rooker died on 22 November 1774 at his house in Great Russell Street in Bloomsbury. His son Michael Angelo Rooker was a notable artist and engraver. Another son Edward Rooker Jr. was also an engraver.
# Maryland Route 632

Maryland Route 632 (MD 632) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Downsville Pike, the state highway runs 6.71 miles (10.80 km) from MD 63 in Downsville north to Maryland Avenue in Hagerstown. MD 632 was constructed along the path of a former turnpike in the late 1930s. The state highway's interchange with Interstate 70 (I-70) opened in 1999.

## Route description

MD 632 begins at an intersection with MD 63 (Spielman Road) in Downsville. The state highway northeast as a two-lane undivided road through farmland, in the midst of which the highway intersects MD 68 (Lappans Road). MD 632 begins to pass residential subdivisions and industrial properties ahead of its interchange with I-70 (Eisenhower Memorial Highway), through which the state highway is a four-lane divided highway. The intersection with the ramps to and from westbound I-70 is shared with Halfway Boulevard, which heads northwest toward U.S. Route 11 and I-81. A park and ride lot is located west of the road at the interchange just south of Halfway Boulevard and the I-70 westbound ramps. MD 632 reduces to two lanes again and passes through the southeastern part of Halfway before crossing over Norfolk Southern Railway's Hagerstown District line. The state highway turns north to intersect Oak Ridge Drive, enters the city of Hagerstown, and passes through a forested area before reaching its northern terminus at the intersection of Maryland Avenue and Downsville Pike between South Hagerstown High School to the east and a pair of shopping centers to the west. The roadway continues north as Maryland Avenue toward downtown Hagerstown, while Downsville Pike heads northeast toward Potomac Street just north of MD 65's northern terminus.

## History

The predecessor highway of MD 632 was the Downsville and Hagerstown Turnpike from Downsville to the Hagerstown and Sharpsburg Turnpike (now MD 65) in Hagerstown. MD 632 was designated and constructed as a modern highway between 1938 and 1940. The state highway was reconstructed around 1956. The portion of MD 632 around the I-70 overpass was expanded to a four-lane divided highway in 1968 despite no interchange being constructed at that time. The state highway was relocated in Halfway as part of the grade separation of the highway and the Norfolk Southern Railway line in 1978. MD 632's interchange with I-70 was constructed starting in February 1998 and was completed in September 1999.

# Porphyridium cruentum

Porphyridium cruentum is a species of red algae in the family Porphyridiophyceae.
The microalga Porphyridium sp. is a potential source for several products like fatty acids, lipids, cell-wall polysaccharides and pigments . The polysaccharides of this species are sulfated and their structure gives rise to some unique properties that could lead to a broad range of industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, P. cruentum biomass contains carbohydrates of up to 57% have been reported. Thus, the combined amount of carbohydrates in biomass and exopolysaccharides of this microalga could potentially provide the source for bio-fuel and pharmaceutical. This alga contains phycoerythrin that can be extracted by lyse and chromatography.
The genus Porphyridium has been classified among blue-green, red, and green algae.
# Matiur Rahman (journalist)

Matiur Rahman (Bengali: মতিউর রহমান; born 15 April, 1946) is the editor of Prothom Alo, one of the largest circulated Bengali language daily in Bangladesh. He is the recipient of the 2005 Ramon Magsaysay Award in the journalism, literature and creative communication arts category.

## Early life

Rahman was born 2 January 1946 in Calcutta to Mohammed Fazlur Rahman, a lawyer, and Lutfunessa Begum. For his secondary education, he attended Nawabpur Government High School and then Dhaka College. For his higher education, he attended the University of Dhaka and earned his master's degree in statistics in 1967. While a student, he became a Marxist and was a student leader in East Pakistan Student Union. Later, he was secretly a member of Communist Party of Bangladesh while it was still outlawed.

## Career

Rahman entered journalism in 1970 when he became the editor of Ekota, a socialist weekly. For five years during the 1970s, he also published the Bangladesh edition of the journal World Marxist Review. He left that position after 21 years and after the fall of the East Bloc. After he left Ekota, he worked as a journalist for newspaper Ajker Kagoj. In February 1992, he partnered with others to found Bhorer Kagoj, which he edited for the next six years. After Saber Hossain Chowdhury joined the cabinet of the Awami League government, Rahman felt pressured to shape the newspaper's stance in accordance with the ruling party and this led to his resignation.

On 12 February 2013, Rahman was wounded from broken glass while in his car when some men were rioting and vandalising cars.
He was elected president of the Newspaper Owners' Association of Bangladesh in June 2014. In March 2023, Matiur Rahman was sued under the controversial Digital Security Act. Reporter Samsuzzaman Shams, an 'assistant cameraman' and unnamed others were also made accused in the case.
# Peter Duncan (Australian politician)

Peter Duncan (born 1 January 1945) is an Australian Labor Party politician and one of the relatively few members of parliament to have served not only in both a state and national parliament but also as a minister in both cases.
Peter Duncan was born in Melbourne and went to the University of Adelaide, where he studied law and was co-editor of the student newspaper On Dit in 1968. He was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly from the electorate of Elizabeth in the 1973 South Australian election, when he was 28.
In state parliament Duncan served as 41st Attorney-General of South Australia from 1975 until 1979, and then as Minister for Health until the defeat of the Corcoran Labor government at the 1979 election. He resigned from state politics in 1984, sparking an Elizabeth by-election, to contest the seat of Makin in the 1984 Australian election, which he held at every election until defeated when Labor lost office federally in 1996.
Duncan was Minister for Land Transport and Infrastructure Support for the last half of 1987 and Minister for Employment and Education Services for over three years from 1988 to 1990. After leaving the ministry in 1990, he became Parliamentary Secretary to the Attorney-General in December 1991, a post he held until Labor lost office.
Duncan had a business career after politics, which became a source of controversy when he was charged in September 2007 with 'making an untrue statement in application for a Commonwealth grant and with dishonestly causing loss to a Commonwealth entity'. It was reported that this had occurred in the wake of the failure of his plastic recycling business Omnipol. He was subsequently ordered to stand trial on three counts in the South Australian District Court. Duncan went on trial on 3 November 2008, pleading not guilty. On 11 November, he was acquitted on all charges.
# Bentley Brooklands Coupé

The Bentley Brooklands Coupé is a two-door hardtop coupé version of the Bentley Azure convertible (itself related to the Bentley Arnage). As a hand-assembled car made in very small numbers, employing traditional coach-building techniques and craftsmanship skills in wood and leather, the Brooklands Coupé is the true successor to the discontinued Bentley Continental R and T. Lifetime production was limited 550 cars, and deliveries started in the first half of 2008, with the car being discontinued three years later.
The Brooklands is powered by a 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce twin-turbocharged OHV V8 engine, producing 530 hp (395 kW) and 1,050 N⋅m (774 lbf⋅ft), the highest torque ever developed by a production V8 engine using petrol (there are diesel V8s producing more). It was featured on Top Gear in series 11 by Jeremy Clarkson, and due to the car having so much torque, one of the car's tires blew out during a powerslide after prolonged aggressive driving with its traction control off. It can achieve 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in around 5.0 seconds, and a top speed in the region of 296 km/h (183.9 mph). With an optional Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite braking system with 14-inch SGL Carbon brake discs (only with 20-inch wheels), the new Brooklands offered more stopping power than any other passenger vehicle then available for purchase. This coupé lacks a "B" pillar.
When retired in 2011, it marked the end of the last Rolls-Royce Crewe platform, concluding the history of the old Rolls-Royce.
Specifications:
* maximum rated motive power: 530 hp (395 kW; 537 PS) at 4,000 rpm
* maximum torque: 1,050 N⋅m (774 lbf⋅ft) at 3,250 rpm
* 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h): 5.0 seconds
* 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph): 5.3 seconds
* Top speed: 296 km/h (183.9 mph)
* 0 to 100 mph (0 to 161 km/h): 11.7 seconds

# Sacatra

Sacatra was a term used in the French Colony of Saint-Domingue to describe the descendant of one black and one griffe parent, a person whose ancestry is 7⁄8ths black and 1⁄8th white. It was one of the many terms used in the colony's racial caste system to measure one's black blood.
The etymology of sacatra is uncertain; Félix Rodríguez González linked it to Spanish sacar 'take out' and atrás 'behind'; thus, a sacatra is a slave who is not kept in the house or at the front as a lighter-skinned servant might be.

## In fiction

* In the 1989 novel The Dancing Other, French author Suzanne Dracius mentions her main character finding "true friendship with a cheery sacatra girl with soft, caramel skin."
* Nalo Hopkinson's 2004 speculative fiction novel The Salt Roads begins with Georgine, an enslaved girl who gets pregnant by a white man, denying that her child is going to be "just mulatto. I’m griffonne, my mother was sacatra. The baby will be marabou."
