# Gertrude Melville

Gertrude Mary Melville (née Day; 7 October 1884 – 21 August 1959) was an Australian politician of the Labor Party. In 1952 she was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council.

## Life and career

Melville was born Gertrude Mary Day on 7 October 1884 to parents John Joseph Day, a sawyer, and Mary Ann Dunbar in Port Macquarie, New South Wales. She moved to Sydney to attend the St Peter's convent school in the inner-city suburb of Surry Hills. In 1903 she married Arthur Melville, a New Zealand labourer, with whom she had five sons.
Melville became a member of the Labor Party (ALP) in 1904 and campaigned extensively with other party members for women and children's rights. In the periods of 1922–26 and 1950–52, she was a member of the party's central executive committee. She stood as an ALP candidate for the Eastern Suburbs district in the 1925 NSW election, but was unsuccessful. She was again unsuccessful in 1932 election for Hurstville. Throughout the 1940s, she worked as a justice of the peace, a member of the New South Wales Board of Health, an alderman of the Cabramatta and Canley Vale municipal council, vice-president of the Country Women's Association's Cabramatta branch, and director of Fairfield Hospital. She was Mayor of Cabramatta–Canley Vale from 1945 to 1948.
In 1952 Melville was nominated by Labor to fill a vacancy in the New South Wales Legislative Council caused by the death of Liberal member Ernest Farrar. At the time seats in the council were elected at a joint sitting of both houses of parliament. Melville was re-elected a twelve-year term in 1957. In her five years in the council, she earned a reputation as the "grand old lady of the Labor Party". She dedicated her time in parliament to being a "spokesman for the women" and "the little people", supporting equal pay for women, child welfare, housing and hospitals.
She died on 21 August 1959 in Little Bay, Sydney, and was buried in Randwick.

## Production

Jim Oswin of ATN-7 asked Richard Lane if he knew of an Australian novel to adapt. Lane suggested Jon Cleary's You Can't See Round Corners which was a favourite of Lane's wife, updated to the Vietnam War. Oswin agreed. The novel was set in Paddington but Lane thought that suburb had changed so much by the 1960s he relocated it to Newtown. Lane wrote the first 17 scripts and was consultant on the last nine.
This was Rowena Wallace's first professional dramatic TV series. She was recommended by Barry Creyton who was originally going to play the role of Frankie McCoy, the role that went to Ken Shorter.
The series garnered controversy on release because of a scene where Frankie, an army deserter, runs his hand up Margie's skirt. Wallace says she had no idea Shorter was going to do this, which is why her reaction was so authentic. Many stations around Australia cut the scene.
The majority of episodes were written by Richard Lane. The theme and incidental music was composed by Tommy Tycho. Peter Weir worked on the show as a production assistant.

## Reception

The show was generally well received.
# Reuben Ewing

Reuben Ewing (born Cohen on November 30, 1899) was a Ukrainian-born American professional baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals.

## Early life

Ewing (then Cohen) was born in Odessa, Russian Empire to Ukrainian-Jewish parents and emigrated with them to the United States in 1904, and was Jewish. As a child he showed brilliant athletic talent, a foreshadow of his later achievement of making the major leagues. In order to avoid antisemitism Cohen became "Ewing". He later attended Hartford High School and Lebanon Valley College.

## Professional career

In 1921, while still a student at Lebanon Valley, Reuben received a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. His short career featured no highlights and lasted only three games and spanned only seven days from June 21 to June 27.
In the only plate appearance of his professional career, he was struck out by future Hall of Fame pitcher Eppa Rixey while pinch hitting for pitcher Tink Riviere.
# St Mary's Road drill hall, Southampton

The St Mary's Road drill hall is a former military installation in Southampton. It is a Grade II listed building.

## History

The building was designed by W H Mitchell as the headquarters of the 1st Hampshire Artillery Volunteers and completed in 1889. It was an initiative of Colonel Edward Bance, former mayor of Southampton, and was opened by Edward Stanhope, Secretary of State for War, in 1890. With the formation of the Territorial Force in 1908, the 1st Hampshire AV became the Hampshire Royal Garrison Artillery, but the drill hall also became the home of the Hampshire Royal Horse Artillery in 1908. Both units were mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914, with the Hampshire RGA manning coast forts and the Hampshire RHA being deployed to the Middle East.
After World War I, the Hampshire RGA resumed its coast defence role while the Hampshire RHA amalgamated with the Hampshire Yeomanry and evolved to become 378 (Hampshire RHA) Battery with its base in Southampton. It was renamed 218 (Hampshire RHA) Battery in 1937 and served as part of 72nd (Hampshire) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RA, during World War II. The heavy regiment formed three coast artillery regiments during the war that manned the Portsmouth and Southampton defences.
Postwar, the drill hall was decommissioned and converted for leisure use in 1974.
The building remained in use as St Mary's Community and Leisure Centre, owned and operated by Southampton City Council, until its closure in December 2021. Following a campaign by local residents, the facility reopened in August 2022, managed by the charity Active Nation. In February 2025, the council was seeking a new operator to lease the building on a long term agreement.
# Baidah Sultanate

The Baidah Sultanate (Arabic: سلطنة البيضاء), also known as the Al-Rasas Sultanate (Arabic: سلطنة ال رصاص), was a state in South Arabia.

## History

With the Ottoman withdrawal from Yemen in 1636 AD, Yemen became independent, but the southern provinces, which were known in the past as the East, separated from Yemen after the Turkish withdrawal and became fragmented into sultanates and provinces such as Yafa ', Al-Fadhli, Al-Rasas, Al-Wahdi, Al-Awlaki, Lahj, Al-Haythami, Al-Kathiri. In Al-Bayda (Saraw Madhaj), a number of the Saraw Mazhaj tribes around Hesi unanimously asserted their independence.
The Baidah Sultans were at one point a very powerful factor in the region, but in their later years their influence waned.
From 1905 to 1912, the Baidah Sultan attempted to obtain a protectorate treaty with Britain, but the negotiations proved fruitless. In September 1914, it was reported that the Baidah Sultan refused to enter into a treaty unless Britain would promise to pay a stipend, give 100 rifles with ammunition, 2 cannons, and gunpowder.
On 2 February 1915, during World War I, the Ottoman Empire invaded the Baidah Sultanate. The Haushabi sent a large force in support of the Baidah Sultan. By the 13th, the Baidah had routed the Ottomans and captured their tents and ammunition. Sometime before the 20th, the Ottomans returned and raided Baidah's outlying villages, before being chased away by a Baidahn force of 1,000 troops, suffering 10 killed and many wounded, as well as losing 3 camels filled with ammunition, shells and tents. The Baidah Sultan expected that the Ottomans would invade again and declared to Britain his intention to defend his country to the last. On his request, Britain sent him ammunition.
On 21 March 1916, Zaidi forces loyal to the Ottoman Empire launched another offensive into the Baidah Sultanate, intending to use Baidah as a springboard for further offensives onto Shihr and Mukalla. Recognizing the threat posed, Britain sent 200 rifles and 30,000 rounds of ammunition to the Baidah Sultan in support. The attack ultimately failed.
British documents from the 1920s and 1930s continue to mention an independent Baidah Sultanate.
In 1930, the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen conquered the Baidah sultanate.

## Sultans

* Ali Bin Adballah reigned from before 1909 to after 1911. He unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a protection treaty with Britain.
* Abdallah bin Alawi bin Husein was the sultan as of 1916. A British report dated 28 January 1916 said he had been newly elected and described him as a "stout warrior".
* Hussain Al-Rassas

## Geography

Baidah bordered the Audhali to the south, Beihan to the north, Upper Yafa to the west, and the Aulaqi to the southeast.
The terrain of Baidah was an elevated plateau sloping gradually to the low-lying Beihan to the north. The soil was sandy and fertile.

## Tribes

# Sudanic languages

In early 20th century classification of African languages, Sudanic was a generic term for languages spoken in the Sahel belt, from Ethiopia in the east to Senegal in the west.

## Scope

The grouping was based on geographic and loose typological grounds. One of its proponents was the German linguist Carl Meinhof. Meinhof had been working on the Bantu languages, which have an elaborate noun-class system, and he labeled all languages not in Hamito-Semitic or Bushman that lacked such a noun-class system Sudansprachen. There were two main branches; Eastern Sudanic was largely equivalent to Nilo-Saharan sans Nilotic, and Western Sudanic to Niger–Congo other than Bantu.

## Background

Westermann, pupil of Carl Meinhof, carried out comparative linguistic research on the then Sudanic languages during the first half of the twentieth century. In his 1911 study he established a basic division between 'East' and 'West' Sudanic, roughly comparable to today's distinction of Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan. His 1927 collaboration with Hermann Baumann was devoted to the historical reconstruction of the West Sudanic branch. He compared his results with Meinhof's Proto-Bantu reconstructions but did not state the obvious conclusion that they were related, perhaps out of respect for his teacher. French linguists like Delafosse and Homburger, not hindered by such concerns, were quite explicit about the unity of West Sudanic and Bantu, mainly on the basis of synchronic lexicostatistical data. In his 1935 "Character und Einteilung der Sudansprachen", Westermann conclusively established the relationship between Bantu and West Sudanic. This marked the beginning of the establishment of the Niger–Congo family, though it was not until 1963 that Greenberg's classification of African languages solidified and popularized the concept of Niger–Congo.

## Nilo-Saharan

Some comparative linguists including Christopher Ehret have used the term "Sudanic" specifically within the context of Nilo-Saharan to refer to a theoretical clade (monophyletic group) within the broader Nilo-Saharan phylum. According to Ehret, Sudanic is one of two primary branches of Nilo-Saharan, the other being Komuz (which he renames Koman).

# Shelter of Jesus the Good Shepherd for the Poor and Migrant

Shelter of Jesus the Good Shepherd for the Poor and Migrant (Albergue Jesús el Buen Pastor del Pobre y el Migrante) is a refugee shelter in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico for Latin American migrants.

## About

The migrants are injured and disabled by freight trains, frequently suffering amputation, in their attempted migration out of Latin America to the United States. The trains take the Chiapas-Mayab line, running north–south through Mexico and are called "The Death Express" or La Bestia "The Beast" by migrants. Some of the injured migrants have suffered violence at the hands of gangs who attack those who do not pay to ride The Beast, and commit other acts of violence against migrants. The shelter has been funded by private donations, and by the United States Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, and Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
It is one of several migrant shelters in Mexico including Acayucan Migrant Shelter, Ixtepec's Brothers Along the Way Migrant Shelter, Guadalupan Diocesan Shelter of Tierra Blanca, Reynosa's Our Lady of Guadalupe Shelter, Reynosa's Christian Way of Life Shelter, Saltillo Migrant Center, and The 72 – Shelter for Migrants.
The shelter was founded in the late 1990s by Olga Sanchez Martinez, recipient of the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico's National Human Rights Prize [es] in 2004. She remains its director as of 2015.
# Lii Wen

Lii Wen (Chinese: 李問; born 4 March 1989) is a Taiwanese journalist and politician.

## Early life and education

Lii was born on 4 March 1989, to sociologist and National Tsing Hua University professor Lii Ding-tzann, and is a Hsinchu native. He earned a bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University and a master's degree at the University of Chicago. As a student within NTU's anthropology department, Lii participated in fieldwork in China, Taiwan, and across Southeast Asia and also worked for the news magazine NTU Consciousness [zh].

## Career

After finishing his master's degree, Lii gave up dual American citizenship and returned to Taiwan to complete his military service. From 2014 to 2015, Lii wrote for the Taipei Times. Lii also worked for the Democratic Progressive Party and later the National Security Council, specializing in international outreach and diplomatic policy research. He subsequently became a party spokesperson. Following the 2018 Taiwanese local elections, the Democratic Progressive Party asked Lii to consider running for any Legislative Yuan seat in Taipei or New Taipei deemed primarily pan-blue. He rejected the suggestion and sought to run in an even more difficult district, the Matsu Islands. In September 2019, Lii duly accepted the DPP nomination for the Legislative Yuan in Lienchang County, becoming the first Democratic Progressive legislative candidate there since Tsao Cheng-ti in 2008. He finished third in the 2020 legislative election, behind incumbent Chen Hsueh-sheng and former lawmaker Tsao Erh-chung. Although he lost, Lii's campaign set a record for DPP-affiliated vote share in a Matsu legislative election at eleven percent. Lii's legislative campaign was noted for a slim chance of victory, but attracted attention for using military imagery, considered rare for a DPP candidate. He also wore a large balloon advertising his campaign, as well as gloves resembling lobster claws, and a winged mussel costume to draw attention to aquaculture in Lienchang County. In July 2020, he became the founding leader of the DPP chapter in Lienchang County. Lii then worked to nominate the first Matsu-based DPP candidates for local political office. His campaign for the Lienchang County magistracy in the 2022 local election featured an inflatable fish, representing the yellow croaker. Lii, who was the first DPP nominee for the Lienchiang magistracy, finished behind two Kuomintang candidates, Wang Chung-ming and Tsao Erh-yuan. Lii launched his second legislative campaign in November 2023, again facing Chen Hsueh-sheng, as well as Taiwan People's Party candidate Tsao Erh-kai. Lii garnered 1,382 votes in the January 2024 election, finishing behind Chen Hsueh-sheng (3,116) and ahead of Tsao Erh-kai (1,373). In February 2024, Lii was named head of the DPP's international affairs department. With the presidential inauguration of Lai Ching-te in May 2024, Lii joined the Lai administration as spokesperson, responsible for international media relations.
