# Supercargo

A supercargo (from Italian sopracargo or from Spanish sobrecargo) is a person employed on board a vessel by the owner of cargo carried on a ship. The duties of a supercargo are defined by admiralty law and include managing the cargo owner's trade, selling the merchandise in ports to which the vessel is sailing, and buying and receiving goods to be carried on the return voyage.
The supercargo has control of the cargo unless limited by other contracts or agreements. For instance, the supercargo has no authority over the stevedores, and has no role in the necessary preparatory work prior to the handling of cargo. Sailing as they do from port to port with the vessel to which they are attached, supercargos differ from factors, who have a fixed place of residence at a port or other trading place.

## History

During the Age of Sail from the 16th to the mid-19th century, the supercargo was the second-most important person aboard a merchant ship after the captain.

### Sweden

On ships of the Swedish East India Company (1731–1813), the supercargo represented the company and was in charge of all matters related to trade, while the captain was in charge of navigation, loading and unloading of cargo as well as the maintenance of the ship. The captain was restricted to following written orders from the supercargo. A new supercargo was always appointed for each journey; he had to keep books, notes and ledgers about everything that happened during the voyage and trade matters abroad. He was to present these immediately to the directors of the Company on the ship's return to its headquarters in Gothenburg. The supercargo was fined for each day the books were delayed. Helping him in all this, he had a staff of assistants: a concierge, a cook, a footman and his own ship's court, consisting of seven persons. According to historical documents, the court remained busy throughout the voyage. The supercargo also had to maintain and run the company's factory at the trading destination.
Having the highest rank aboard the ship, the supercargo also received the highest salary. In addition to this, he received six percent of the value of the cargo which the ship carried home. Every person on board had the right to buy, bring home goods, and sell them in Sweden. The amount of goods permitted was regulated by the person's rank aboard the ship and his financial means. At the top of this list was the supercargo.

# Irish Farmers' Association

The Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) (Irish: Feirmeoirí Aontaithe na hÉireann) is a national organisation to represent the interests of all sectors of farming in Ireland. The IFA is Ireland's largest farming representative organisation and has operated more than 60 years.
The IFA represents Irish farmers at home and in Europe, lobbying and campaigning for improved conditions and incomes for farm families. It also provides representation, support and advice to members on an individual basis.
IFA is a democratic association, organised in branches, county executive and national committees.
The IFA's head office is at the Irish Farm Centre, in Bluebell, Dublin. It also maintains 12 regional offices and an office in Brussels.

## History

It was founded in January 1955 as the National Farmers Association (NFA), aiming to lead Irish farmers out of the depression and deprivation which had dominated rural Ireland for decades.
The NFA merged in the 1960s with four smaller organisations representing specific sectors (including Leinster Milk Producers (now Fresh Milk Producers), beet growers and horticulture) to form the Irish Farmers Association – the IFA.
In the 1972 referendum on Irish membership of the European Economic Community, the IFA campaigned for a "yes" vote, seeking access to European markets and higher prices for agricultural produce.
The IFA denounced the European Union–Mercosur Free Trade Agreement as a "disgraceful and feeble sell-out".

## Salary controversy

In November 2015, Eddie Downey (President) and Pat Smith (General Secretary) resigned due to a salary controversy. Smith's salary in 2013 had been €535,000. He resigned on 18 November. A week later, members of the organisation's national executive council were informed that Smith had been given €2m in severance and €2.7m in pension. Eddie Downey admitted he had signed off on this agreement and resigned. Downey was earning €147,000 a year plus €50,000 in add-ons when he resigned.
The IFA confirmed that former chief economist Con Lucey—who had attempted to raise concerns over financial issues and transparency before quitting under duress in 2014—would oversee a review of salaries and expenses.

# Northwest Herald

The Northwest Herald is a daily tabloid newspaper published in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The paper serves the northwest suburbs of Chicago, including all of McHenry County and northern Kane County. Its main competition is the Daily Herald.
The Northwest Herald is the flagship title of Shaw Media, whose corporate headquarters are shared with the paper's offices.

## History

Shaw Newspapers first entered McHenry County in 1948, when it bought the Woodstock Sentinel. It bought several more McHenry County outlets over the nest three decades.
In 1983, Shaw Newspapers acquired the Cardunal Free Press, making it the owner of every newspaper based in McHenry County. At the time, these titles were mostly weeklies and small dailies, some with more than 150 years of service to their communities. In 1985, Shaw merged the McHenry County papers into the Northwest Herald, a daily and Saturday newspaper serving all of McHenry County.
On March 12, 1989, the Northwest Herald added a Sunday edition and became McHenry County's first hometown, seven-day newspaper. It had a daily circulation of 29,688 and its new Sunday edition had 29,337 subscribers, which dropped to 21,440 in 2017.
The paper was redesigned for the first time in 1992, with stock quotes added to the Business section and more space and sources for wire stories in the Front section. A Friday entertainment section in tabloid form named Sidetracks was added, as was a Saturday Neighbors section devoted entirely to readers' submissions.
Beginning in 1992, four different Northwest Herald front pages were printed each weekday. The practice, called zoning, ensured that readers would have the most local news product available to them on the front page of their paper. Zoning of the newspaper eventually would be expanded to seven editions in 2002, but was discontinued in February 2004.
After five years as a seven-day paper, the Northwest Herald won its first award for excellence from the Illinois Press Association in 1994. It has won IPA's Sweepstakes award, the Mabel Shaw Trophy (named after one of the founders of Shaw Media), six of the past eight years.

# The Grammar School, Kirby Hill

The Grammar School is a historic building in Kirby Hill, a village near Richmond, North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was commissioned by John Dakyn as a grammar school and hospital, and was completed in about 1556. The hospital was extended and converted into a house for the schoolmaster in 1706. In the 19th century a stable, wall and railings were added. The building was grade II* listed in 1951. The school closed in 1957, and the building was converted into a house and holiday flat. In 1973, the flat was leased for 50 years to the Landmark Trust.
The building is constructed of stone with stone slate roofs. The main range has two storeys, a partial attic and a partial basement, to the left is the two-bay master's house, and to the right is a three-bay former school. The main range overlooks the churchyard of Church of St Peter and St Felix, it has buttresses, and contains various windows, some mullioned, and dormers. In front is a low wall with canted coping and railings.
Dakyn founded a charity, the trustees of which are elected every other year in a ceremony, using materials stored in a cupboard which was built in 1784. A convenor writes the names of six suitable candidates on pieces of paper. Each is encased in a wax ball, and these are placed in a vessel containing water, from which three are drawn.
# Ernesto Layaguin

Ernesto A. Layaguin was an enlisted hospital corpsman of the Philippine Marine Corps and a posthumous recipient of the Philippines' highest military award for courage, the Medal of Valor. Corporal Layaguin served with the 61st Marine Company during the 2000 Philippine campaign against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. During a military operation in Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte, Layaguin attempted to come to the aid of a fellow Marine Corporal Laurence Narag Sr., who had conducted reconnaissance on an entrenched MILF position but was detected and drew sniper fire. Narag was eventually wounded but managed to establish contact with a Philippine Air Force OV-10 Bronco and was able to coordinate close air support. Layaguin attempted to come to his aid but was himself wounded and eventually hit by sniper fire that caused his death. Narag was eventually evacuated but died of his wounds in a hospital.

## Medal of Valor citation

   "For acts of conspicuous courage, gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Corpsman, 61st Marine Company, Philippine Marine Corps, Philippine Navy during a 10-hour encounter with about 200 fully armed MILF rebels that were encamped at Sitio Ilian, Delabayan, Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte on 03 April 2002.
   Realizing that the key to the enemy's destruction in that prolonged encounter was the vital calls for artillery fire and close air support which Corporal Narag, a radioman was coordinating through the radio, Corporal Layaguin braved all odds, without regard for his own safety, rushed forward to save the wounded Corporal Narag in order to extricate the latter to the rear position. He later on shielded Corporal Narag with his own body to secure the latter and the radio which is the most important thing they had at that moment and to which the lives of the rest of the team depended upon. In the process, he was hit by a sniper's bullet in the body. In spite of the wound sustained, he still managed to extricate Corporal Narag, agonizingly creeping inch by inch while dragging his comrade to safety. After dragging the radioman to a safer distance, he tended to the wounds of his comrade, but unfortunately, a second sniper's bullet found its mark on his forehead that killed him instantaneously. He tried to save the life of a fellow Marine, never leaving him at the expense of his own life. His gallant deed so inspired the other members of the team to fight on more fiercely, that after 10-hour gun-battle, the enemy suffered 40 killed and a great number were wounded which forced them to flee in different directions. This led to the eventual seizure of the formidable MILF camp at Delabayan.
   By this gallant deed, Corporal Layaguin distinguished himself in combat in the finest traditions of Filipino Soldiery."

# Ministry (collective executive)

In constitutional usage in Commonwealth realms, a ministry (usually preceded by the definite article, i.e., the ministry) is a collective body of government ministers led by a head of government, such as a prime minister. It is described by Oxford Dictionaries as "a period of government under one prime minister". Although the term "cabinet" can in some circumstances be a synonym, a ministry can be a broader concept which might include office-holders who do not participate in cabinet meetings. Other titles can include "administration" (in the United States) or "government" (in common usage among most parliamentary systems) to describe similar collectives.
The term is primarily used to describe the successive governments of the United Kingdom, India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which share a common political heritage. In Australia, a new ministry begins after each election, regardless of whether the prime minister is re-elected, and whether there may have been a minor rearrangement of the ministry. In the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, a new ministry is formed only when there is a change of prime minister.
