# William Watson (priest)

William Watson (c. 23 April 1559 – 9 December 1603) was an English Roman Catholic priest and conspirator, executed for treason.

## Life

In 1586 Watson became a Roman Catholic priest in France, and during the concluding years of Elizabeth's reign he paid several visits to England; he was imprisoned and tortured more than once. He became prominent in the Archpriest Controversy as a champion of the secular priests in their dispute with the Jesuits, and in 1601 some writings by him on this question appeared which were answered by Robert Parsons. In September of that year he was resident at Fulham Palace, under the protection of Richard Bancroft.
When Elizabeth died, Watson hastened to Scotland to assure James I of the loyalty of his party, and to forestall the Jesuits, who were suspected of intriguing with Spain. The new king did not, however, as was hoped, cease to exact the fines on recusants; and the general dissatisfaction felt by the Roman Catholics gave rise to the "Bye plot," or "Watson's plot," in which connection this priest's name is best known, and to its sequel the Main Plot; Watson discussed the grievances of his co-religionists with another priest, William Clark, with Sir Griffin Markham and Anthony Copley, and with a disappointed Protestant courtier, George Brooke; they took another Protestant, Thomas Grey, 15th Baron Grey de Wilton, into their confidence, and following Scottish precedents it was arranged that James should be surprised and seized, while they talked loudly about capturing the Tower of London, converting the King to Catholicism, and making Watson Lord Keeper.
One or two of the conspirators drew back; but Watson and his remaining colleagues arranged to assemble at Greenwich on 24 June 1603, and under the pretence of presenting a petition to carry out their object. The plot was a complete failure; Henry Garnet and other Jesuits betrayed it to the authorities, and its principal authors were seized, Watson being captured in August at Hay-on-Wye on the Welsh border. They were tried at Winchester and found guilty; Watson and Clark were executed on 9 December 1603, and Brooke suffered the same fate a week later. Grey and Markham were reprieved.
Before the executions took place, however, the failure of the Bye plot had led to the discovery of the Main plot. Brooke's share in the earlier scheme caused suspicion to fall upon his brother Henry Brooke, 11th Baron Cobham, the ally and brother-in-law of Sir Robert Cecil. Cobham appears to have been in communication with Spain about the possibility of killing "the king and his cubs" and of placing Lady Arabella Stuart on the throne. He was seized, tried and condemned to death, but although led out to the scaffold he was not executed. It was on suspicion of being associated with Cobham in this matter that Sir Walter Raleigh was arrested and tried.

# Gajner Palace, Bikaner

Gajner Palace in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India, served as a hunting lodge for the maharajas of Bikaner. It now operates as a heritage hotel.

## History

When Gaj Singh, the Maharaja of Bikaner, was returning from Jaisalmer after his marriage with its princess, he and his entourage encamped at Chandasar. His wife, who was missing her paternal home, told him that she saw Jaisalmer in Chandasar and requested him to create a pleasure garden there for her. In the group she brought from her hometown, there was a gardener skilled in desert farming. Gaj commissioned him to landscape a low tract called Magra. He also built an artificial lake called Gaj Sagar to supply water to his wife’s garden. He also built a Jal Mahal for her and established a village named Gajsinghpura after himself there. Over the years, Gajsinghpura became Gajner. In 1808, the troops of Jodhpur, during a siege against Bikaner, destroyed the palace. The later-day palaces and canal system at Gajner were the work of Sardar Singh, Dungar Singh, and Ganga Singh. When the famine of 1899 left the Gaj Sagar empty, Ganga Singh deepened the lake and widened it so that two years of water supply could be held in it. Its capacity was 50 mcft (1,415,842,329.6 liters), and its catchment area was approximately 50 sq. miles (129.5 sq. km).
Besides the Vallabh gardens, it was one of the two private game reserves of the Maharajas of Bikaner. It was compared to being on par with British hunting estates such as Balmoral and Sandringham. When important guests would visit Ganga Singh, they were taken here to shoot the great Indian bustard or the sandgrouse. A record stands from the bygone days that 11,000 birds were shot in a day using as many as 40 guns.
Ganga Singh commissioned Samuel Swinton Jacob, who had designed Lalgarh, to design a new palace for him. This palace, made of pink sandstone, was built around 1910-13. It was fully equipped with comforts and included a separate wing for visitors. It became known as Gajner Palace. Mumbai (then Bombay)-based John Roberts and Co. was commissioned to furnish it. Ganga Singh's grandson, Karni Singh, who rarely shot anything but clay pigeons and was a strict vegetarian due to the influence of his mother, who was also a vegetarian and did not herself shoot, was generally opposed to the taking of life. He opened a portion of the palace for his private guests and disapproved of hunting on Gajner grounds. Now it is converted into a heritage hotel. It is managed by HRH Group of Hotels.

## Features

Its compound stretches over 6000 acres. It is situated in a thick forest. It is divided into four wings: Dungar Niwas, Mandir Chowk, Gulab Niwas, and Champa Niwas. Migratory birds flock in great numbers and can be viewed here.

# Highland Building

The Highland Building is a thirteen-story building which is located in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

## History and architectural features

Construction on the building was completed in 1909, with Daniel Burnham being the principal designer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Henry Clay Frick originally commissioned the building. Following the Chicago school of architecture style, the building features a granite base and terracotta exterior.
Beginning sometime around the 1960s, the building gradually fell into disrepair coinciding with the decline of East Liberty. A classical ornament on the roof was replaced with substandard material, allowing water to enter the basement. Over time, the interior essentially was destroyed.
The Highland Building subsequently experienced twenty years of complete dormancy during the latter part of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century. With assistance from the state of Pennsylvania and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, a new renovation effort was launched in 2012 to restore the exterior and reconstruct the interior of the Highland Building, attach it to the adjacent three-story Wallace Building and convert the entire complex into one hundred and twenty-seven apartments. The project, now completed, is described as, "Walnut on Highland" and is mostly leased. Recently, the last of the retail space in the Wallace Building was filled by a Mexican Restaurant.

# Arum nigrum

Arum nigrum, commonly known as black arum, is a perennial herbaceous plant that can grow up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall. It has a large underground tuber that stores nutrients and allows the plant to survive during periods of drought. The leaves of Arum nigrum are large, arrow-shaped, and glossy green in color, reaching a length of up to 30 cm (12 in). The flowers of this plant are the most distinctive feature, as they are black in color, with a central spadix surrounded by a large petal-like bract called a spathe.

## Habitat and cultivation

Arum nigrum is native to the Balkan Peninsula and North Greece. It can be found in garrigue, rocky hillsides, and soil pockets.

## Taxonomy and phylogeny

Arum nigrum, belongs to the family Araceae and is one of several species within the genus Arum. The genus Arum has been the subject of various taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, with some researchers proposing new classifications and keys to the infrageneric taxa. The distribution of Arum nigrum has also been studied, with some researchers examining its affinities to other Arum species, such as those found in southern Greece.

## Medicinal potential

While there is limited information specifically about the medicinal potential of Arum nigrum, plants belonging to the genus Arum have been used for nutritional and medicinal purposes for many centuries, despite their toxicity.
# Tumbleweed Tiny House Company

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is a company in Sonoma, California, that designs and builds small houses between 65 and 887 square feet (6 and 80 m$^2$), Many are timber-framed homes permanently attached to trailers for mobility. The houses on wheels are available to be purchased ready made and shipped to consumers, and are individually manufactured and customized for their buyers. The company also offers construction plans for their mobile houses and larger designs, as well as workshops geared toward teaching people how to build their own cottage or tiny house on wheels.
Tumbleweed is part of the small house movement.

## History

Tumbleweed was founded in 1999 by Jay Shafer, and originally focused on sheds and chicken coops. In 2002, Shafer, co-founded the Small House Society in Iowa City, Iowa. In 2003, he was commissioned by Gregory Paul Johnson, Small House Society co-founder, to build The Mobile Hermitage, which became one of Tumbleweed's first commercially sold homes. That same year, the company began selling how-to books and hosting workshops about building tiny homes.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a few were sold to Gulf Coast residents who preferred them to government-supplied temporary housing.
In 2007, Steve Weissman bought the company, after volunteering with them the year prior.
In 2008 the company reported selling only one house per year, though this had increased five-fold in 2009. As of 2011, the company reported building "only a few houses" annually. The majority of the houses built to its designs are constructed by customers using Tumbleweed's plans. In 2012, Shafer left the company and founded Four Lights Tiny House Company.
In 2012, the company's headquarters were moved to Sonoma, California, although the houses were manufactured in Colorado. In 2013, the company began to lean more into selling pre-manufactured homes. In 2015, they began to advertise tiny homes as a vacation experience.
Between 2011 and 2016, the company grew 50% each year, and its staff leapt from three people to 80 people. In 2016, it was the country's top tiny house manufacturer, building about 125 tiny homes each year.
In February 2017, the company's headquarters were moved to Colorado Springs, where it had a 20,000-square-foot factory.
