# Albert Burton

Albert Burton (c. 1838 – unknown) was a sailor in the U.S. Navy during the American Civil War. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Second Battle of Fort Fisher on January 15, 1865.

## Military service

Immigrating from his native England, Burton volunteered for service in the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the Union frigate USS Wabash (1855). His enlistment is credited to the state of New York.
On January 15, 1865, the North Carolina Confederate stronghold of Fort Fisher was taken by a combined Union storming party of sailors, marines, and soldiers under the command of Admiral David Dixon Porter and General Alfred Terry. Burton was a member of the storming party.

## Medal of Honor citation

   The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Seaman Albert Burton, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving on board the U.S.S. Wabash in the assault on Fort Fisher, North Carolina, 15 January 1865. Advancing gallantly through the severe enemy fire while armed only with a revolver and cutlass which made it impossible to return the fire at that range, Seaman Burton succeeded in reaching the angle of the fort and going on, to be one of the few who entered the fort. When the rest of the body of men to his rear were forced to retreat under a devastating fire, he was forced to withdraw through lack of support, and to seek the shelter of one of the mounds near the stockade from which point he succeeded in regaining the safety of his ship.

# Ten Little Wizards

Ten Little Wizards is a novel by Michael Kurland featuring Randall Garrett's alternate history detective Lord Darcy. It was first published in paperback by Ace Books in March 1988; a trade paperback edition and ebook edition were issued by the Borgo Press imprint of Wildside Press in 2011. An audio-book version was published by Audible Studios in April 2015. The book has been translated into Italian.
The Lord Darcy stories are set in an alternate world whose history supposedly diverged from our own during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart, in which King John never reigned and most of western Europe and the Americas are united in an Angevin Empire whose continental possessions were never lost by that king. In this world a magic-based technology has developed in place of the science of our own world.
The title is an allusion to Agatha Christie's Ten Little Niggers, also published as Ten Little Indians, a classic of detective literature which is now almost always referred to by its US title, And Then There Were None.

## Plot summary

Someone is killing wizards, and doing so apparently without the use of magic. Lord Darcy is sent to investigate. He must uncover the murderer and ascertain whether the whole business is a ploy to kill the king himself.
To complicate matters Darcy must investigate during the preparations for the investiture of Gwiliam, Duke of Lancaster (King John IV's younger son), as Prince of Gaul. To add international tension, the Crown Prince of Poland, His Majesty the King of Courland (Latvia), will attend the ceremony. (In this timeline, Poland is a great empire ruling most of Eastern Europe, and there is an ongoing Cold War between it and Darcy's Anglo-French Empire).

## Reception

The book was reviewed by Tom Whitmore in Locus no. 324, January 1988, and Don D'Ammassa in Science Fiction Chronicle no. 104, May 1988.

# Woodstock Revisited

Woodstock Revisited is a 2009 documentary film by David McDonald that tells the story of how the countercultural movement associated with The Woodstock Festival came into being.
While the Woodstock Festival did not end up happening in the town for which it was named, Woodstock, New York, it wouldn't have transpired had it not been for a series of historical events in Woodstock that influenced the rise of the American counterculture.
Bob Dylan moved to Woodstock in 1964, and The Band following Dylan to town. A series of concerts on a field outside of Woodstock in 1966, 1967, and 1968 called The Woodstock Soundouts featured many of the same artists later to be involved with the larger-scale Woodstock Festival. In the years prior to the Woodstock Festival, musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, The Mothers of Invention, and Van Morrison all were residents of Woodstock.
The historical line McDonald draws between the events of the sixties and those that happened long before that show that the Woodstock Festival wasn't a historical anomaly, but instead the culmination of a hundred years worth of developments, beginning with Thoreau’s sojourn at Walden Pond, the mysticism of The Catskill Mountain Painters, and the two arts colonies, Byrdcliffe Colony and The Maverick, which christened the town’s reputation as a colony of the arts.
McDonald’s lyrical segments on Byrdcliffe and The Maverick kick off the film and frame the events and characters that would come later in a historical context. Byrdcliffe was founded in 1902 by Ralph Whitehead, an industrialist’s son who came from England to create a back-to-the land paradise in Woodstock devoted to the arts and creativity. The Maverick was an offshoot of Byrdcliffe founded by Herve(y) White, and became known for their wild outdoor festivals of the teens and 20s which had a huge influence on the various Woodstock Festivals that were to come later.
Woodstock Revisited has appeared in several festivals around the world and was mentioned in a 2009 article in The New York Times and The Woodstock Times. Beginning in the fall of 2009, McDonald lined up a slate of film screenings in and around the New York area. David McDonald later filmed a TV pilot for a series called The Mystery of Creativity, about the connections between creativity and spirituality.

# Vestamager station

Vestamager station (Danish pronunciation:, lit. West Amager) is a rapid transit station of the Copenhagen Metro in Copenhagen, Denmark. The terminus of the M1 line, it is located in zone 3 in the southwestern section of the island of Amager.

## Location

Vestamager is the southernmost station of the Copenhagen Metro, located in the southern part of Amager. Specifically, the station lies on a viaduct paralleling Ørestads Boulevard at its intersection with Asger Jorns Allé. Vestamager station is close to Kalvebod Fælled (Kalvebod Common) and next to the Metro's control and maintenance centre.

### Transit-oriented development

Vestamager is the last of six stations within the Ørestad redevelopment area on the M1 Line beginning at Islands Brygge and, as a result, has witnessed significant transit-oriented development. The vast majority of new construction around Vestamager is to the west of Ørestads Boulevard and south of the Øresundsmotorvejen. This area is classified by the master plan as Ørestads Syd (Ørestad South) and is one of four key planning and development districts in Ørestad.
In general, the northern half of Ørestads Syd will be dedicated to office projects, while the southern half will be focused on residential development. The first major residential project to be completed in the area - 8TALLET, a 61,000 square metres (660,000 sq ft), figure-eight shaped apartment complex - was awarded the title of "best residential development" at the World Architecture Festival in 2011.

## History

Vestamager station opened on 19 October 2002 as part of the first phase of the Copenhagen Metro, known as the Ørestadsbanen (lit. the Ørestad track). At the time, trains operated between Vestamager and Nørreport, with the M2 Line also running between Nørreport and Lergravsparken. Service westward to Vanløse began in 2003 and continues to this day.

# West Calder Slave Trade Petition

The West Calder Slave Trade Petition was a 1792 petition, against the slave-trade, created in West Calder, West Lothian, Scotland.

## Abolition of the Slave Trade

The Parishioners of West Calder played a small part in the abolitionist movement of the late eighteenth century, as reported in the Edinburghshire Log of 1792. West Calder Parish posted a petition in advocating in the strongest terms that abolition of slavery was essential. Within 9 days of the publication of the document, 2 April 1792 William Wilberforce moved that the trade ought to be abolished; an amendment in favour of gradual abolition was carried, and it was finally resolved that the trade should cease on 1 January 1796. When a similar motion was brought forward to the House of Lords the consideration of it was postponed to the following year, in order to give time for the examination of witnesses by a committee of the House.
