# Ridersville, West Virginia

Ridersville is an unincorporated community between Berkeley Springs and Stohrs Crossroads along Martinsburg Road (West Virginia Route 9) in Morgan County, West Virginia. It is located on Pious Ridge (804 ft) where Pious Ridge Road (CR 4) and Peter Yost Road (CR 9/8) intersect with WV 9. Ridersville sprang up in the 19th century as a small farming community along the Martinsburg Road with a general store. It had its own operating post office until it was closed in 1903 due to the community's proximity to Berkeley Springs. During its period as an independent agrarian town, it was known as Friendship, Rider Store, Riderville, and finally as Ridersville. Today, it is merely a growing residential area of Berkeley Springs.
# Jamiatul Ulama South Africa

The Jamiatul Ulama Transvaal now the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa (Council of Muslim Theologians), headquartered in Fordsburg, Johannesburg, was founded in 1923 to serve the Muslim community of the (now defunct) Transvaal Province of South Africa. It publishes a weekly online newsletter.

## Activities

It currently operates in the provinces that formerly made up the Transvaal, as well as in the Free State Province, and is one of a number of national Muslim organizations in South Africa.
The organization has been characterized as fundamentalist and Deobandi, and it is widely perceived as having links with the Tablighi Jamaat.
Large number of Muslims subscribe to decisions regarding fiqh (Islamic law) in the region where the organization operates. It also has significant influence on the running of many mosques and madrassahs in the region.

## Controversies
### Apartheid-era

The Jamiatul Ulama South Africa has been criticised for its largely apolitical stance during the apartheid era. The organization, unlike its counterpart in KwaZulu-Natal, the Jamiatul Ulama KwaZulu-Natal was accused by more activist Islamic scholars at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of not speaking out against the tricameral system, which denied black South Africans political power, while giving limited rights to Coloureds and Indians.

### Radio Islam

The Jamiatul Ulama South Africa owns and manages a community radio station called Radio Islam that broadcasts on the Witwatersrand. A complaint was made by an organization to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa in 1998 that the radio station was not allowing women to be heard on air. The station argued that Islam does not allow women's voices to be heard. The authority ruled against the station, and in response, the station collected a petition of 28,000 names from women who it claimed supported the decision to bar women from the airwaves.

### Muhammad cartoons controversy

The organization again made headlines in 2006 when it obtained an interdict against several South African newspaper companies in the Johannesburg High Court against the republishing of cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. See: Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. This case raised important questions about the limits of freedom of expression in South Africa.
# Povljana

Povljana is a village and municipality on the island of Pag, in Zadar County, Croatia. It is located 12 km southeast of town of Pag. The nearby shoreline has steep slopes and small cliffs.
According to the 2011 census, there are 759 inhabitants, 95% of whom are Croats.
The name of the place Povljana comes from the Latin word PAULINIANA with the Latin suffix -ANA, which is the Roman name Paulus. ''Old Povljana'' was mentioned for the first time in historical documents during the construction of the church of St. Martin on February 13, 1345.

## Politics
### Minority councils and representatives

Directly elected minority councils and representatives are tasked with consulting tasks for the local or regional authorities in which they are advocating for minority rights and interests, integration into public life and participation in the management of local affairs. At the 2023 Croatian national minorities councils and representatives elections Albanians of Croatia fulfilled legal requirements to elect 10 members minority councils of the Municipality of Povljana but the elections were not held due to the absence of candidatures.

# Oxford time

51°45′7″N 1°15′28″W﻿ / ﻿51.75194°N 1.25778°W﻿ / 51.75194; -1.25778
Oxford time is the custom of having scheduled events occur five minutes past the specified time. It is a peculiar tradition of timekeeping in Oxford, especially in connection with the University of Oxford.

## Astronomical background

As a result of the rotation of the Earth, the mean solar time of places that differ from each other in longitude deviates from one another; this deviation amounts to four minutes of time per degree difference in geographical longitude, or one hour per fifteen degrees. For a long time, it was common practice in different cities to actually use this local mean solar time as a basis for timekeeping, so that time differences between different cities could also form within one country. It was not until the 19th century that time zones were introduced, whereby a common legal time was defined for a larger area, such as a state. In the United Kingdom the mean solar time at the Greenwich meridian was defined as the national standard, against which the mean solar time at Oxford is delayed by five minutes.

## Oxford time today

Out of tradition, local Oxford mean time is still used as a basis for some events in the city, as opposed to the more common Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) defined by the Greenwich meridian. The consequence of this is that, when measured by a clock set to GMT, events begin five minutes after the specified time. This applies, for example, to lectures, the closing of college doors and services in Christ Church Cathedral. Despite superficial similarities, the Oxford period, therefore, has a historical background that differs from that of the academic quarter used in some continental European universities.
Unlike GMT, Oxford time observes British summer time, as civil time in the UK does. This means, for example, that during the period when summer time is in effect, a university lecture scheduled for 9:00 Oxford time would commence at 9:05 British Summer Time (BST), corresponding to 8:05 GMT.

## In literature

Lewis Carroll, who himself taught at Oxford, took Oxford time as the inspiration for the perennially unpunctual White Rabbit in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
# Persephone (given name)

Persephone is an Ancient Greek name used in reference to Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring and the Greek underworld.

## Popularity

Usage of the name has increased in recent years. Parents might have been influenced by the popularity of names associated with the natural world or by other long, similar sounding Greek names such as Penelope. Names from Greek mythology and names with positive associations also gained popularity for babies born during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been among the one thousand most popular names for newborn girls in the United States since 2019.

## Notable people

* Persephone Borrow, English immunologist
* Persephone Swales-Dawson (born 1997), British television actress

# Oakes College

Oakes College is a residential college at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It is on the southwestern corner of the campus, south of Rachel Carson College and east of the Family Student Housing complex.
Oakes was founded in 1972 as College Seven by Professors Herman J. Blake and Ralph C. Guzmán. In 1968, the Black Liberation Front, a black power group, demanded an all-black college. Blake, UCSC's only African American faculty member at the time, along with Guzmán, one of the few Mexican-American faculty on campus, proposed a compromise in which College Seven's academic program would focus on ethnic studies, particularly the studies of minority groups in California. Though the term ethnic studies was dropped in the planning phases, the college has always stressed racial, ethnic and cultural diversity, along with the representation and support of students from historically disadvantaged groups.
Oakes is perceived by some students as a "minority college", partly due to its roots in radical elements of the Civil Rights Movement. Comparative racial and ethnic statistics do show that Oakes' student body has slightly higher percentages of minorities than a number of other UCSC colleges and UCSC's student body as a whole. For example, 9.8% of Oakes's students are African American and 12.2% are Filipino American, compared with 2.7% and 4.5%, respectively, among UCSC's general student body.
College Seven was renamed Oakes in 1975 after philanthropists Roscoe and Margaret Oakes, whose endowment contributed significantly to the founding of the college.
Noted political activist Angela Davis, an Oakes affiliate,
is a professor of history of consciousness, an unconventional program centering on the history of struggles for racial, economic and social justice and equality.

## Theme housing

Oakes College provides theme housing for their students that want to live on campus. There are four dormitory buildings and four apartment blocks.

### Dormitory buildings

# James Turner (bishop)

James Francis Turner (1829 – 27 April 1893) was the second Bishop of Grafton and Armidale in the 19th century.
Turner was born in Yarmouth, Norfolk in 1829. He was educated at Durham University, where he graduated BA in 1851 and MA in 1853. He was ordained deacon in 1852, and priest in 1853. He was Chaplain of Bishop Cosin's Hall, Durham, and then held incumbencies at Canons Ashby and North Tidworth before his appointment to become Bishop of Grafton and Armidale. On 24 February 1869, Turner was ordained and consecrated a bishop, in Westminster Abbey, by Archibald Campbell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury; George Selwyn, Bishop of New Zealand; and six other prelates.
# Job fair

A job fair, also commonly referred to as a job expo or career fair or career expo, is an event in which employers, recruiters, and schools give information to potential employees. Job seekers attend job fairs to speak face-to-face with potential employers, fill out résumés, and ask questions about the various positions available. In addition to in-person events, online job fairs give job seekers a virtual way to get in contact with possible employers.

## In-person

In colleges, job fairs are commonly used for entry-level job recruitment. Job seekers use this opportunity to meet with an employer, attempt to stand out from other applicants, and get an overview of what it is like to work for a company or a sector that seems interesting to the applicant.
Career expositions usually include company or organization tables or booths where resumes can be collected and business cards can be exchanged. Often sponsored by career centers, job fairs provide a centralized location for students to meet employers and perform first interviews. Hiring companies speak with students about expectations and answer questions, such as the degree or work experience needed for certain positions.

## Online job fairs

Online job fairs are held through a virtual platform which allows employers to speak with potential employees. Depending on the platform used, a virtual career fair may include services such as video, live chats, downloadable material and more. After having applied online to positions, people may also try their luck with in-person job fairs.
# Ilkeston Junction and Cossall railway station

52°58′43″N 1°17′42″W﻿ / ﻿52.97861°N 1.29500°W﻿ / 52.97861; -1.29500
Ilkeston Junction and Cossall railway station was a railway station which served the town of Ilkeston in Derbyshire, England.

## History

It was opened in 1847 by the Midland Railway on the Erewash Valley Line at the junction of a short branch to the town itself.
The station became known locally as Ilkeston Junction, and when first opened had no road leading from it to either Cossall or Ilkeston. Passengers would use farm tracks and the canal towpath to reach its isolated location.
In 1870 a proper road ('Station Road' or 'Station Street') was completed to the station from Ilkeston, the original station closing in that year after completion of a new station further north. The new station opened on 2 May 1870; originally named Ilkeston, it was renamed Ilkeston Junction on 1 July 1879, and Ilkeston Junction and Cossall on 1 December 1890.
It carried a shuttle service to Ilkeston Town railway station which was never particularly popular since the GNR provided a direct main line service. Some services were also provided to Nottingham and Chesterfield. Since the latter passed through the north curve of the junction, they were unable to call at the station. The same was true of Nottingham trains when they ran on the short-lived branch between Bennerley Junction and Basford.
In the Grouping of all lines (into four main companies) in 1923 the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway .
The branch closed in 1960 (although passenger traffic had ceased by the late 1940s) and the tracks were lifted, with the junction station finally closing to all traffic on 2 January 1967.
There were several subsequent proposals for a new station to be opened on the Erewash Line, with Ilkeston often quoted in the press as being 'the largest town in England without a railway station'. As part of the new station fund set out in March 2013, Ilkeston, Pye Corner and Lea Bridge were narrowed down as the three most likely stations to open or reopen, with the final announcement being made in May. Work started in summer 2014 on site clearance work to construct new station. The new Ilkeston station, built on the same site as Ilkeston Junction and Cossall, opened on 2 April 2017.
