# Noel Hogan

Noel Anthony Hogan (born 25 December 1971) is an Irish musician and record producer best known as the guitarist and co-songwriter of the Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries.

## The Cranberries

Hogan formed the Cranberries with his brother Mike and drummer Fergal Lawler in 1989. The group recruited Dolores O'Riordan as lead singer soon after forming. The band went on to sell in excess of 40 million records worldwide. In total, Hogan has released eight albums with the Cranberries.
The Cranberries went on a six-year hiatus from 2003 to 2009. However, after O'Riordan's death on 15 January 2018, Hogan confirmed the group’s disbandment, which occurred after the release of the posthumous album In the End in 2019, saying: "The Cranberries without Dolores just isn't The Cranberries...we won't replace our friend and lead singer".

## Solo work

With the Cranberries on hiatus from 2003 to 2009, Hogan turned to focus on his own music. He began working with programmer Matt Vaughan, who had already done work on unreleased Cranberries songs and Dolores O'Riordan's solo material. Mono Band was born with Hogan as the sole band member. With vocals being supplied by Richard Walters, Alexandra Hamnede, Kate Havnevik, and other guest artists, Hogan worked with Cranberries' veteran producer Stephen Street to compile a mix of 12 tracks. Working on his side project at the same time, saw their resulting debut album, Mono Band, released on 20 May 2005. Hogan and Mono Band vocalist Richard Walters went on to form Arkitekt. Arkitekt released two EPs at that time in 2009, working on new material.
Hogan's work independent of the Cranberries has been released on his own label, Gohan Records and is published through Fairwood Music (UK) Ltd for the world.
Hogan has also been producing bands on the local music scene of Limerick. Gohan Records has recently released, in collaboration with Limerick Live 95FM's Green and Live show, "Tonelist", a collection featuring musicians in the Limerick music scene.
In 2022, Noel debuted The Puro, a new duo alongside Brazilian singer Mell Peck.

# William Charles Braithwaite

William Charles Braithwaite (23 December 1862 – 28 January 1922) was a British historian, specialising in the early history of the Society of Friends (Quakers).

## Life

Braithwaite was born on 23 December 1862, the son of Joseph Bevan Braithwaite (1818–1905) and Martha Gillett (1823–1895). One of his eight siblings was stockbroker Joseph Bevan Braithwaite (1855–1934). He attended Oliver's Mount School, Scarborough, and University College London.
Braithwaite worked as a barrister, and then in 1896 became a partner in Gilletts Bank.
In 1909, Braithwaite gave the second Swarthmore Lecture, entitled "Spiritual Guidance in the experience of the Society of Friends". On 1 January 1922 he received an honorary doctorate in Theology from the University of Marburg.

## Published works

* The Beginnings of Quakerism (1912)
* The Second Period of Quakerism (1919)
In 1897 John Wilhelm Rowntree and Rufus Jones set out in 1897 to write a "comprehensive history of Quakerism". After Rowntree had died in 1905, Jones invited Braithwaite to write the early history of the Society of Friends. These two books form part of the seven-volume Rowntree History Series. Jones added to the series two volumes on Later Periods of Quakerism. In 1955 Frederick James Smithen stated that The Beginnings of Quakerism was "still regarded as the standard work on the rise and early fortunes of the Quaker movement". The series had the financial support of Joseph Rowntree, and its books tend to support a liberal approach in Quakerism. Braithwaite's distinctions drawn between early Quakers and Puritans have come in for criticism for some over-simplification.
Braithwaite's other works included:
* Red Letter Days; a Verse Calendar (1907)
* Spiritual Guidance in the Experience of the Society of Friends (Swarthmore Lecture 1909)
* The Message and Mission of Quakerism (1912) (with Henry Theodore Hodgkin (1877-1933))
* Foundations of National Greatness (1915)
* The penal laws affecting early Friends in England

## Family

Braithwaite married in 1896 Janet Morland (1869–1936), daughter of Charles Coleby Morland of Croydon. They had three sons and a daughter. The philosopher Richard Bevan Braithwaite was their son. The other sons were Alfred William Braithwaite and Charles Morland Braithwaite; the daughter was Constance. Constance (1904–1985) took a London University degree and went to the University of Birmingham as a social studies academic. She wrote The Voluntary Citizen (1938) and Conscientious Objection to Various Compulsions Under British Law (posthumous, 1995).
Before her marriage, Janet Morland worked as a shop foreman in the Rowntree's factory at York, also engaging in social work there. As a married woman living in Banbury, she supported Sibford School. She took part in the adult school movement, and in 1932 was the first woman to act as president of the National Adult School Union.

# Atolinga Municipality

Atolinga is one of the 58 municipalities in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. It is located on the southern part of the state of Zacatecas and is bordered by the municipalities of Tepechitlán and Florencia de Benito Juárez. To the east it is bordered by Tlaltenango de Sánchez Román and to the north and west by the state of Jalisco. The municipality covers a total surface area of 280 square kilometers (110 sq mi).

## History

Before the arrival of the Spanish to the area, the region around Atolinga was inhabited by indigenous people of the Caxcan and Tepecan ethnic groups. The first Spanish contact with these people must have been in 1530 when Pedro Almíndez Chirino went through the Valley of Tlaltenango on a northbound expedition.
The first land grantee of the area was Pedro Sernosa, who later sold his land to Juan Fernández de Jara Quemada.
The town formed part of the jurisdiccion of Tlaltenango for both ecclesiastical purposes and governmental purposes until the beginning of the 1800s. In 1814, a plea was made by the citizenry that the community be granted its own town council and status as a municipality due to the long distance from the municipal seat and the ascending local population. The plea spells out that the town counted with nearly 700 "souls" and that within a radius of two leagues lived more than 3,700 people.
Most of this towns families are large families with the same last name. The most common are : Carlos, Bugarin, Castaneda, Delgado, Saldana, Nanes and Salinas.

## Population

In the 2005 census Atolinga, reported a population of 2,738. Of these, 1,453 lived in the municipal seat and the remainder lived in surrounding rural communities.

# List of high commissioners of Sri Lanka to the United Kingdom

The Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the United Kingdom is the Sri Lankan envoy to United Kingdom. Countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Nations typically exchange High Commissioners, rather than Ambassadors. Though there are a few technical differences (for instance, whereas Ambassadors present their diplomatic credentials to the host country's head of state, High Commissioners are accredited to the head of government), they are in practice one and the same office. The Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the United Kingdom is concurrently accredited as the Ambassador to Ireland. The current post of High Commissioner is occupied by Saroja Sirisena.
