# David Provost

David Provost or David Provoost (January 16, 1670 – 1724) was the 24th mayor of New York City, serving his appointment to the position from 1699 to 1700.

## Early life

David Provost was born at his family's Pearl Street home, near Fulton Street, in New York City, on January 16, 1670, to David Provost Sr. (1642-1720), one of New Amsterdam's Dutch burghers, and Tryntje "Catherine" (née) Laurens) Provost (1650–1707).

## Career

In 1699, David Provost was appointed Mayor. During his administration, two new market houses were erected, one at Coenties Slip and the other at the foot of Broad Street. A hospital-home for the poor was established. Public street cleaners were hired, and homeowners were directed to pave in front of their houses or face a fine of twenty shillings.
The ferry to Long Island was contracted out for a term of seven years at a rent of one hundred and sixty-five pounds sterling per year. By the conditions of lease, the lessee was required to keep two large boats for corn and cattle, and two smaller boats for passengers. The city engaged to build a ferry-house on Nassau or Long Island, which the ferry operator was required to keep in repair.
In 1699, the firing of guns within New York City was strictly forbidden. A powder-house was ordered to be built for public use, and all persons were prohibited from keeping more than fifty pounds of powder in their house. A tax was levied on all flour and bread brought into the city. This tax, however, proved unpopular, and was annulled a few weeks later.
Provost was succeeded in office by Isaac De Riemer in 1700. After his tenure as Mayor, Provost served for a time as alderman.

## Personal life

On June 1, 1691, Provost married Helena Byvanck (d. 1698) of Albany. Together, they were the parents of:
* Belitje Provost (b. 1692), who married Henry Coens
* Catharina Provost (b. 1694), who married Abraham Van Wyck (1695–1756)
* David Provost III (b. 1695), who married Johanna Rynders.
* Helena Provost (b. 1698), who married Cornelius Santvoort (b. 1692)
After her death, married Maria De Peyster (1659–1700) on January 28, 1699, the sister of his predecessor as Mayor, Johannes de Peyster, widow of John Spratt. Her daughter, Maria Spratt (1693–1760) was married to James Alexander (1691–1756), Attorney General of New Jersey. After her death, he married for the third time on May 15, 1708, to Elizabeth Wakeman (b. 1657), widow of Albert Dinny, of Fairfield, Connecticut.
He died in 1724 and his will was probated on January 27, 1724.

# Prime Minister of Belarus

The prime minister of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Прэм’ер-міністaр Рэспублікі Беларусь; Russian: Премьер-министр Республики Беларусь) is the deputy head of government of Belarus. Until 1991, it was known as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic as the head of the government of the constituent republic of the Soviet Union.
The prime minister leads the Council of Ministers of Belarus, the central government body, and is accountable to the president. The prime minister is appointed by the president of Belarus. Once the prime minister is appointed they form a 30-member cabinet which consists of ministers and chairmen, the latter of which is a non-ministerial post. As Belarus is a presidential republic the prime minister has no real power or control over government affairs and it is ultimately under direct control of the president who has the real power over government and its activities.

## Duties

The activities of the prime minister in managing the government include:
* Signing government legislation
* Inform the President on the basic guidelines of the government
* Draft budget
* Enforce a uniform financial, monetary, education, health care, and labour policy
* Ensure the implementation of decrees and instructions of the president
* To substitute for the president on temporary and absolute absences
The constitution was drafted by the Supreme Council of Belarus, the former legislative body of the country and is heavily influenced by Western constitutions. The constitution has been amended thrice under controversial circumstances since the original adoption, in 1996, in 2004 and in 2022. Two referendums that were disputed by independent observers and government opposition leaders increased the power of the presidency over the government and eliminated the term limits for the presidency.

# James Alphege Brewer

James Alphege Brewer (1881-1946) was a well-known early 20th century producer of colour etchings - notably of English and European Cathedrals and churches and other scenes.

## Family and early life

Brewer was born on 24 July 1881, in Kensington, London, the son of Henry William Brewer, noted artist of historical architecture. His brothers included the painter Henry Charles Brewer and the novelist and organist John Francis Brewer. Their grandfather was the historian John Sherren Brewer and their great uncle was E. Cobham Brewer, compiler of Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable.
Brewer's father and grandfather John Sherren Brewer were notable adherents of the Oxford Movement, inspired by Augustus Pugin. Henry William Brewer and his family, including James Alphege Brewer, became high-profile converts to the Roman Catholic Church.
On 23 July 1910, Brewer marries Florence née Lucas at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Acton. Florence was an accomplished painter, and great niece of David Lucas (engraver) who created engravings for John Constable. Brewer and his wife Florence Lucas lived on Avenue Road in Acton throughout their marriage. Henry Charles Brewer also lived in Acton, and the brothers collaborated on many pictures.

## Professional life

Like his brother Henry Charles Brewer, Brewer attended St Charles Catholic College in Kensington, before studying at the Westminster School of Art with Frederick Brown.
Brewer exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art and thereafter at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, at the Paris Salon of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, and in the shows of the Royal Cambrian Academy. He was also a member of the Society of Graphic Art, and the Ealing Art Group, where he was first Honorary Art Secretary and then Honorary Art Chairman.
Brewer is believed to be the model for his brother Henry Charles's wall paintings created for the Lady Chapel of St Peter's Church, Ealing in 1928. An etching by Brewer, donated in 2023, can also be found in the chapel.
Brewer died on February 4, 1946, at the age of 64 and is buried in Acton Cemetery near to his brother, Henry Charles.
# Honey Chile

"Honey Chile" is a 1967 single by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas on the Gordy label, a subsidiary of Motown Records. Written by Richard Morris and Sylvia Moy, and produced by Morris, this was the first single to bill the group's name as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas as opposed to Martha and the Vandellas.
"Honey Chile" rose to number eleven on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number five on the US Billboard R&B singles chart.

## Background

The song describes how the narrator (voiced by Martha Reeves) wanting to get rid of her boyfriend who's been courting and dating other girls behind her back though she is too weak to let him go stating "I'll walk a country mile to stay with you". This song, rare for a pop song, actually shows character development: at the end of the first verse she states that she is worthless without him, while in the second to last line she says she will find the strength to leave him.
Filled with Southern connotations (inspired by Reeves' birth in rural Alabama), It is notable for several reasons: it is the first track to feature new member, Martha's younger sister Sandra "Lois" Reeves replacing just-fired Betty Kelly, it was the group's twelfth top 40 pop single, and it was also the last top 40 hit the group would score throughout the rest of their Motown tenure though they would score several top 40 R&B singles before leaving the label in 1973. It was also the first single to be credited as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas after the label requested that some of the lead singers of several groups put their name in front of the group's to earn billing for both lead singer and group.

## Personnel

* Lead vocals by Martha Reeves
* Background vocals by Rosalind Ashford and Sandra "Lois" Reeves
* Instrumentation by The Funk Brothers

# Karl Emanuel Jansson

Karl Emanuel Jansson (7 July 1846, in Finström – 1 June 1874, in Jomala) was a Finnish painter, primarily of genre scenes.

## Biography

His father worked as a farmer. His initial inspiration to pursue an artistic career came from the parish painter who was teaching him to read and write. After a year of apprenticeship with a shoemaker, he left to become the assistant to the painter. In 1859, the Vicar Frans von Knorring came across some of Jansson's drawings and sent them, along with a letter of recommendation, to the Finnish Art Society [fi]. This resulted in a scholarship for him to study at the Society's drawing school in Turku, overseen by Robert Wilhelm Ekman. Upon his arrival, Ekman helped arrange lodging and provided necessary art supplies.
In 1862, he relocated to Stockholm to continue his studies at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts under Johan Fredrik Höckert. However, this period coincided with a slow economic time in Sweden, and he struggled to sell his works. Eventually, one of his paintings portraying the Prodigal Son was awarded a prize. In 1867, he completed his studies and received a state scholarship to study at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Benjamin Vautier. This period greatly influenced his artistic style. He continued attending classes there until 1872, often returning to his hometown of Finström in between.
During this time, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and traveled to Rome in search of a more favorable climate for his health. Finding little relief, he sought different health resorts, including Davos and Merano, with no notable improvement. After completing his affairs in Düsseldorf, he returned home for what would be his final stay.
Back home, he resided in Jomala with a local judge and his wife, who cared for him. On his deathbed, he received news that he had been accepted as an associate member of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

# Richard de Hoton

Richard de Hoton (died 9 January 1308) was prior of Durham after his election to that role on 24 March 1290. He is notable for his professional tensions with his bishop Antony Bek.

## Life

Richard de Hoton (probably of Hutton in North Yorkshire) was elected to the role of Prior of Durham on 24 March 1290, having previously served as Prior of Lytham.
He initiated building of Durham College, Oxford, the priory having acquired land for the purpose either early in his term of office, or late in that of his predecessor Hugh of Darlington.
He denied his bishop Antony Bek the right of episcopal visitation, launching appeals to York, Canterbury and Rome. Bek excommunicated Hoton for contumacy on 20 May 1300 and deprived him of his office the following day for disobedience, perjury and violation of monastic rule. King Edward I of England agreed a temporary reconciliation between Hoton and Bek on 20 June, though this was not to last and on 10 August Bek appointed the Prior of Lindisfarne, Henry of Lusby or Luceby, to replace Hoton. Ten days later Lusby forced his way into the monastery, forcibly removed Hoton from his stall and had him imprisoned. Lusby was formally installed on 24 August, but Hoton escaped from the prison on 16 December 1300.
On 1 March 1301 king Edward gave Hoton permission to spend two years at the papal court, and on 29 November that year Pope Boniface VIII declared that Lusby's appointment was uncanonical and that Hoton was to be reinstated. Lusby obeyed the pope, leaving Durham on 14 April 1302, with Hoton's proctor being put in possession of the monastery a week later. Hoton then arrived back in Durham on 1 August 1303, only to be suspended from office by the pope on 5 March 1306 and replaced as the monastery's administrator by Bek. Bek appointed Lusby to administer it as his proctor on 10 March, but the latter was expelled by the monks and Edward issued letters patent in April and June 1306 banning the pope's ejection of Hoton from taking place. Lusby died later in 1306 and Edward granted Hoton another year at the papal court (under royal protection) on 7 August that year. The pope then lifted Hoton's suspension and he was finally restored to his office on 1 December 1307, only to die at the papal court in 1308.
