# Laurence Echard

Laurence Echard (c. 1670–1730) was an English historian and clergyman. He wrote a History of England that was a standard work in its time.

## Life

Echard was the son of the Rev. Thomas Echard or Eachard of Barsham, Suffolk, by his wife, the daughter of Samuel and Dorothy Groome, and was born at Barsham. On 26 May 1687, at the age of 17, he was admitted as a sizar of Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1692 and M.A. in 1695. Having been ordained by John Moore, bishop of Norwich, he was presented to the livings of Welton and Elkington, Lincolnshire, and appointed chaplain to the Bishop of Lincoln.
For more than 20 years Echard remained in Lincolnshire, chiefly at Louth, and wrote several works. On 24 April 1697 he was installed as prebendary of Louth at Lincoln Cathedral, and on 12 August 1712 as Archdeacon of Stow. In or about 1722 Echard was presented by George I with the livings of Rendlesham and Sudbourne in Suffolk. There he lived in bad health for nearly eight years. He died at Lincoln, while on his way to Scarborough for the benefit of the waters, on 16 August 1730, and was buried in the chancel of St Mary Magdalen's Church on the 29th of that month.

## Works

Echard translated Terence, some Plautus, and Pierre-Joseph d'Orléans' History of the Revolutions in England. He made numerous compilations on history, geography and the classics. His chief work is The History of England: from the first entrance of Julius Caesar and the Romans to the end of the reign of King James the First containing the space of 1678 years (several editions published by Jacob Tonson between 1707 and 1720), covering the period from the Roman occupation to his own times. This continued to be the standard work on the subject until Nicolas Tindal's translations and expansions of Rapin de Thoyras's French Histoire d'Angleterre ("History of England") began to appear in English in 1727. Echard also wrote a history of the Roman republic from its founding to the Augustan settlement.
Echard also compiled The Gazetteer's, or Newsman's Interpreter (1st edition, 1692), a geographical index the name of which is thought to have given rise to the use of the word gazetteer to mean "a dictionary or index of geographical locations". In the preface, Echard said "The Title was given me by a very eminent Person, whom I forbear to name", and that the work was "partly design'd for all such as frequent Coffee-Houses, and other places for News", that is, to help readers better understand the newspapers written by "gazetteers", an archaic term for journalists.

## Family

Echard married first Jane, daughter of the Rev. Potter of Yorkshire, and secondly Justin, daughter of Robert Wooley of Well, Lincolnshire. There were no children by either marriage.
# Marshall Edwards

Marshall Lynn Edwards (born August 27, 1952), is a former professional baseball outfielder. He played in three seasons in the major leagues from 1981 until 1983, all for the Milwaukee Brewers. In the fifth and final game of the 1982 ALCS, Edwards subbed for a limping Gorman Thomas in center field in the 8th inning, and made a spectacular catch at the warning track of a deep fly ball off the bat of Don Baylor, helping preserve Milwaukee's one-run victory over the California Angels and advance the franchise to its first World Series.
Edwards has two brothers who also played in the major leagues, Dave Edwards and Mike Edwards, who is Marshall's twin. He and Mike played collegiate baseball together at LA City College and UCLA.
Edwards is retired from baseball and works as a minister at the World Changes International Church.
# Zhymyky

The Zhymyky (Kazakh: Жымықы; Russian: Жимыкы) is a river in the Ulytau District, Ulytau Region, Kazakhstan. It has a length of 105 km (65 mi) and a drainage basin of 1,460 km$^2$ (560 sq mi).
The river flows across the road that runs roughly from east to west between Koskol and Karsakpay.

## Course

The Zhymyky has its origin in the southwestern slopes of the Ulytau Range, to the west of the Lakbay wintering settlement. It heads roughly westwards and northwestwards within a deep, steep channel. In its final stretch the river bends and flows roughly southwestwards, bending southwards near the end and flowing into the northeastern shores of the Shubarteniz lake.
The Zhymyky is fed by winter snows and during the yearly spring floods its water is fresh. The waters of the river are used for watering livestock.
# Whitley Court

Whitley Court is a cluster of Spanish Colonial bungalows built from 1903 to 1919 just north of Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
The first structure, built in 1903, was a two-story Colonial Revival house with a round bay turret designed by Dennis & Farwell for the Whitley family. The original house was moved to the back of the property to make room for four additional two-story residential buildings. The buildings provided housing for those employed in the booming film industry, and its residents are rumored to have included Theda Bara in the 1920s and Sylvia Sidney in the 1930s.
In 1974, the buildings were converted to a mix of residential and office space. During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, fires burned just 150 feet from Whitley Court, but residents protected the structures with hoses. At the time, one of the owners said, "These buildings are important. You can't replace a historic building. When it burns, you lose it forever."
Whitley Court was designated a Historic Cultural Monument (HCM #448) by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in 1988, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

# National symbols of Venezuela

The national symbols of Venezuela are the flag, the coat of arms, and the national anthem. Since Venezuela's diversity of flora and fauna is remarkable, the government also officially declared these national symbols:
* The national flower is the orchid Cattleya mossiae, known as flor de Mayo ("May flower"). It was first discovered in the northern land in 1849 and was given the status of national flower on 23 May 1951.
* The national tree is the araguaney (Tabebuia chrysantha). Called aravanei by the Caribes, it can be found mostly in regions with temperate weather. It can reach a height between 6 and 12 m. The araguaney flourishes within the period following a rainy season, mostly in the first months of the year. Rómulo Gallegos referred to these months as "La primavera de oro de los araguaneyes" ("the golden spring of the araguaneyes"). It was declared the national tree on 29 May 1945.

# Hilton Cairo Grand Nile

The Hilton Cairo Grand Nile is a five-star hotel located on Roda Island in Cairo, Egypt.

## History and profile

The 966-room original wing of the hotel opened in 1974 as the Hotel Meridien Cairo. In 2001, the $380 million, 715-room, 41-floor Nile Tower wing, with a revolving restaurant and a shopping mall, was added, and the hotel was relaunched in August 2001 as Le Royal Méridien Cairo & Nile Tower.
The hotel's owners, the Saudi Egyptian Touristic Development Company (SETDC), severed Le Méridien's management contract on 8 August 2002, closed the 1974 wing, and operated the newer wing of the hotel independently as the Royal Nile Tower for a year, until Hyatt International assumed management of the property on 1 August 2003, and the tower wing was renamed Grand Hyatt Cairo. Plans were announced to convert the closed 1974 wing into the 245-room Park Hyatt Cairo, following a $20 million renovation, but the project never came to fruition and the building remains closed as of 2025.
All foreign national Hyatt management and staff were evacuated in February 2011, as a result of the Egyptian revolution of 2011. Following this course of action, the hotel's remaining Egyptian staff began to strike, which led Hyatt to sever all ties to the property on 20 March 2011. SETDC was locked in legal disputes with Hyatt for four months, and the hotel continued to use the Hyatt name until 1 June 2011, when the owners officially changed the name to Grand Nile Tower.
It was announced in 2017 that the hotel would join the Hilton family and be renamed Hilton Cairo Grand Nile in 2018. The rebranding took effect on 29 November 2024, with the name change finally taking place.
