# Edwards Hotel (Highlands, North Carolina)

The Hotel Edwards was a historic hotel building at Main and 4th Streets in Highlands, North Carolina. The main block of the hotel, a three-story brick structure, was built in 1935. It was attached to a c. 1880 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, which was operated for many years as a boarding house or hostelry, and is now the historic main inn for Old Edwards Inn and Spa. The brick block was designed by Linton H. Young, and was built after the construction of the Highlands Country Club brought an influx of summer visitors to the area. The property was operated as a hotel by the Edwards family from 1914 to 1970 and is now owned by Art and Angela Williams (A.L. Williams) of Palm Beach, FL. .
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

# Koṇāgamana

Koṇāgamana (Pāli), also known as Kanakamuni in Sanskrit or alternatively Koṇāgon or Kanakagamana, is one of the ancient Buddhas whose biography is chronicled in chapter 23 of the Buddhavaṃsa, one of the books of the Pali Canon.

## Buddhist tradition

According to Theravāda Buddhist tradition, Koṇāgamana is the twenty-sixth of the twenty-nine named Buddhas, the fifth of the Seven Buddhas of Antiquity, and the second of the five Buddhas of the present kalpa.
The present kalpa is called the bhadrakalpa (Auspicious aeon). The five Buddhas of the present kalpa are:
* Kakusandha (the first Buddha of the bhadrakalpa)
* Koṇāgamana (the second Buddha of the bhadrakalpa)
* Kassapa (the third Buddha of the bhadrakalpa)
* Gautama (the fourth and present Buddha of the bhadrakalpa)
* Maitreya (the fifth and future Buddha of the bhadrakalpa)
Koṇāgamana is said to have been born in Subhagavati Park in Sobhavati (now known as Araurakot, located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of Nigalihawa) on Wednesday; because of this Koṇāgamana is placed on the Wednesday pedestal.

## Life

Koṇāgamana Buddha was born in Sobhavati, the capital of King Sobha (present day- Nigali Sagar, Nepal) within the serene Subhagavati Park. His father was Yannadatta who was a Brahmin, and his mother was Uttara. Koṇāgamana Buddha spent three thousand years in his royal household, residing in three palaces: Tusita, Santusita, and Santuttha.
According to Jataka, Koṇāgamana Buddha's height is traditionally described as 20 cubits high (approximately 30 feet or 9.14 meters). His chief wife was Rucigatta who bore him a son named Satthavaha. Koṇāgamana Buddha renounced the world on an elephant and practiced austerities for six months. He received milk-rice from Brahmin Aggisoma’s daughter and grass for his seat from the grain-watcher Tinduka. His enlightenment was attained under Udumbara tree.
Koṇāgamana Buddha passed away at the age of thirty thousand in Pabbatārāma.

## Historical mentions of the Koṇāgamana Buddha

Koṇāgamana is mentioned in a 3rd-century BCE inscription by Ashoka at Nigali Sagar, in today's Nepal. There is an Ashoka pillar at the site today. Ashoka's inscription in Brahmi is on the fragment of the pillar still partly buried in the ground. The inscription made when Emperor Asoka at Nigali Sagar in 249 BCE records his visit, the enlargement of a stupa dedicated to the Kanakamuni Buddha, and the erection of a pillar:
   "Devanam piyena piyadasin lajina- chodasavasa bhisitena Budhasa Konakamanasa thube-dutyam vadhite Visativa sabhisitena –cha atana-agacha-mahiyite silathabe-cha usa papite" “His Majesty King Priyadarsin in the 14th year of his reign enlarged for the second time the stupa of the Buddha Kanakamuni and in the 20th year of his reign, having come in person, paid reverence and set up a stone pillar”.
According to Xuanzang, Koṇāgamana's relics were held in a stupa in Nigali Sagar, in what is now Kapilvastu District in southern Nepal.
# Kobe International University

Kobe International University (神戸国際大学, Kobe kokusai daigaku) is a private university in Kobe, Hyōgo, Japan. The predecessor of the school was founded in 1963, and it was chartered as a university in 1968. In 1995 the school relocated from its original building in Kobe and moved to a newer building on the man-made island, Rokkō Island.
# Army general (France)

Army general (French: Général d'armée) is the highest active military rank of the French Army and the National Gendarmerie. It is also used in the Air and Space Force, where it is called Général d'armée aérienne.
Officially, it is not a rank but a position and style bestowed on some divisional generals, which is the highest substantive rank, in charge of important commands, such as Chief of Staff of the French Army or Chief of the Defence Staff. It is an OF–9 NATO rank, equivalent to the French Navy rank of admiral.
In the army, only a Marshal of France has precedence; however, Marshal of France is not a rank but a dignity in the State, and the last Marshal of France died in 1967.

## History

The rank was created on 6 June 1939 by a decree of the President of the French Republic published in the Journal Officiel de la République Française, following a joint report by the Ministers of War, of the Navy and of the Air. They came to the conclusion that the higher hierarchy was more often in relation with the one of other countries, which frequently had more than two general ranks. By necessity, two positions and styles were created to address this issue, army general and corps general. The decree also provided that the divisional generals already commanding a corps were made corps generals and the ones members of the Superior War Council army generals.

## Insignia description

A French army general displays five stars on a shoulder board; the number of stars should not be compared with that of generals from other NATO countries, usually denoted by four stars only. The rank in the National Gendarmerie additionally displays a golden grenade above the stars. No shoulder board are worn on the full dress or service dress uniform; instead, the insignia is worn on the sleeves.
After the Second World War the design of the full dress uniform kepi for a general changed, now also displaying the stars. It was already the case for field headgear, with no other ornament than the stars.

## Other

The mention of the current usage of "a sixth star authorized for the army general in command of the Paris sector" is an urban legend.
The title of army general in France and elsewhere should not be confused with the rank of general of the army, which is more senior, and corresponds to other countries' marshal or field marshal. The rank of "general of the army" theoretically corresponds to overall command of an entire national army with several armies in the field, while the title "army general" only corresponds to the command of an individual army in the field.

# Presidio Texas Port of Entry

The Presidio Texas Port of Entry is an international border crossing between Presidio, Texas in the United States and Ojinaga, Chihuahua in Mexico. It is located at the Presidio–Ojinaga International Bridge, connecting U.S. Route 67 to the north with Mexican Federal Highway 16 to the south. The original, privately-owned wooden bridge was built in the early 1900s, and the port of entry was established by executive order in 1917. The bridge was most recently replaced in 1985. The current border inspection station was completed about two years later.
There is also an old wooden railroad bridge at this location, but it has been closed since 2008 due to fire damage. As of 2012, there are plans to repair the old rail bridge and to add an additional two lanes to the current vehicle bridge, but no timeline has been established for either project.

# James M. Arnold

James Mason Arnold (October 21, 1838 – July 9, 1897) was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Mississippi from 1885 to 1887, and chief justice from 1887 to 1889.

## Early life, education, and career

Born in Elbert County, Georgia to Wilton Jackson Arnold and Edna Ann Beall Arnold, the family moved to a Mississippi farm during Arnold's infancy. Initially educated at a free church-based school at Concord Church, Arnold gained the support of a teacher at a private high school who allowed Arnold to attend in exchange for Arnold teaching primary school classes there. The following year, he returned to Concord Church to teach, thereafter attended the University of Mississippi from 1855 until his graduation in 1858. Arnold then returned to teaching at Concord Church until the beginning of the American Civil War, when he enlisted in the Confederate States Army.

## Military, legislative, and judicial service

Arnold "served as a private in the Columbus Riflemen, Company K, Fourteenth Mississippi Regiment, throughout the war, except during the period of his imprisonment at Camp Douglas, Chicago, after the fall of Fort Donelson". In 1863, he was elected to represent Lowndes County, Mississippi, in the Mississippi House of Representatives, though he refused a proffered exemption from military service for members, continuing to serve in the army when the legislature was not in session. Following the war, he was elected to a second term in the legislature, and gained admission to the bar in Columbus, Mississippi.
Entering the practice of law, Arnold was reported to be "an able member of the Columbus bar". Arnold was the circuit judge of the first judicial district for a number of years, and according to one source, "bore the reputation of being one of the best the State ever had". On January 7, 1885, Governor Robert Lowry appointed Arnold to the state supreme court, and in 1887, Arnold became chief justice. He served in that capacity until October 1, 1889, when he resigned to resume the practice of law. After leaving the bench he settled in Birmingham, Alabama, and continued in practice until his death.

## Personal life and death

Arnold married Orline Lowry, daughter of Colonel Robert Lowry of Baldwyn, Mississippi, with whom he had two daughters. After Orline's death, Arnold married her sister, Florence Lowry, with whom he had two daughters and three sons, one of whom died in infancy.
Arnold died in Birmingham in the summer of 1897, at the age of 58, after a long illness. His remains were brought to Columbus, Mississippi, for interment.

# Kawall's amazon

Kawall's amazon (Amazona kawalli), also known as the white-faced amazon, white-cheeked amazon or Kawall's parrot, is a relatively large species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is endemic to the south-central Amazon. After not having been recorded in the wild for around 70 years, the species was rediscovered in the 1980s.

## Taxonomy

Considerable taxonomic confusion has surrounded this species. "Aberrant mealy amazons", which actually were Kawall's amazon, were first noted in 1904. It was only in 1989 that the Kawall's amazon was recognised as a species after Brazilian bird keeper Nelson Kawall (after whom the species is named) received a few unusual amazons.

## Description

The species is medium-sized for a parrot, reaching a length of 35–36 cm (13.8–14.2 in). The plumage is mostly green, with a narrow white strip at the base of the bill, narrow white eye-ring, and some blue and red present on the outermost flight feathers. Although it resembles the mealy amazon, Kawall's amazon can easily be recognised by its white patch of skin at the base of the bill, relatively small gray ocular ring (may fade to white in captivity), red near the base of the tail, overall brighter green hue and voice.

## Distribution and habitat

Kawall's amazon has been reported from the Amazon basin of Brazil in Amazonas and Pará. A possible wider distribution, or the existence of isolated populations, is suggested by the existence of a previously misidentified specimen labelled 'Colombia', and a captive bird found on the edge of Amazonas National Park.
The species inhabits lowland rainforest and shows a preference for permanently flooded woodlands and riverine forest edges.

## Ecology

Kawall's amazon has been observed feeding on tree seeds, palm fruits, flowers, and young leaves. It nests in tree cavities, and while it may search out suitable nesting cavities in the dry season, appears to restrict the actual nesting to periods when the forest is flooded.

## Status

Although Kawall's amazon was only rediscovered in the wild relatively recently, it appears to be locally fairly common; however populations are declining due to habitat loss from deforestation. A certain amount of capture for the parrot trade also seems present. The species is currently classified as least concern by the IUCN.

# Bernard Gotfryd

Bernard Gotfryd (May 25, 1924 – June 3, 2016) was a Polish-born American photographer, primarily associated with Newsweek, for which he photographed celebrities, politicians, artists, and writers.

## Early life

Born into a Jewish family in Radom, Gotfryd was 15 at the time of the German invasion of Poland in 1939. He watched his mother taken away, eventually to die in a concentration camp, and his grandmother's remains roll past in a pile of Jewish bodies on a cart. He spent most of the war working at a photo laboratory that developed pictures taken by German officers, some of which he smuggled to members of the Polish resistance. He was eventually captured, and spent the final period of the war as a slave laborer in the quarries of the Gusen concentration camp at Mauthausen. He reunited with his brother, whom he initially failed to recognize, and sister after the war. Several years later, in 1947, he emigrated to the United States, where he married a fellow survivor from Radom, in March 1952. He was drafted into the United States Army Signal Corps in 1949, where he was trained as a combat photographer.

## Career

Following his army service, Gotfryd was hired as a photographer by Newsweek. Though many of his assignments consisted of photographing movie stars and newsmakers wherever he could find them, his distinctive perspective was more apparent when he had more time. Assigned to photograph the controversial novelist William Styron, as Styron's daughter Alexandra later remembered, Gotfryd went beyond the assignment to capture the "cultural dissonance" of family life at Styron's home with "subtle candor." In some cases he developed personal relationships with his famous subjects. Sent by Newsweek to shoot Nina Simone, he eventually became a close friend; Simone introduced him to James Baldwin as "the best photographer in the world." A print of Gotfryd's photograph of Simone and Baldwin is now housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

## Late writing

Inspired by a 1983 visit to Poland, his first since his emigration, and his mother's exhortation the last day he saw her to "tell the world what the Nazis were doing," Gotfryd began writing brief stories of his memories of his childhood and the Holocaust. These stories were eventually published as Anton, the Dove-Fancier: And Other Tales of the Holocaust in 1990. A selection of his photographs, with the title The Intimate Eye, was published in 2006. Upon his death, his photographs, which he willed to the public, were donated to the Library of Congress.

# Diamond City, Alberta

Diamond City is a hamlet in southern Alberta, Canada within the Lethbridge County. It is located on Highway 25, approximately 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Lethbridge. The community was so named on account of deposits of coal near the original town site, a resource also called "black diamond".
Diamond City was first settled at the turn of the 20th century by farmers, ranchers and miners. The community grew rapidly when a coal mine was opened in 1905. Previously an incorporated town, Diamond City dissolved on June 30, 1937.
