# Choctaw Indian Fair

The Choctaw Indian Fair is an annual festival celebrating traditional Choctaw heritage.

## History

For centuries the Mississippi Choctaws have gathered at the ripening of the first corn. This gathering was called "The New Corn Ceremony" or "Green Corn Festival." The present day "Choctaw Indian Fair" has roots in this ancient celebration.
The Fair has long been a time for Choctaws to gather and pay homage to their traditions and heritage but it has also emerged as an opportunity for the Tribe to welcome visitors to the reservation and share their way of life.
Even though the Fair has been around for many years, the Mississippi Choctaw say that the fair began to evolve into the Annual Fair it has become in 1949. The Choctaw Princess Pageant was not added to the fair until 1955 when Patsy Sam (Buffington) was crowned as the first Choctaw Princess.
Nashville-style country music became part of the Choctaw Indian Fair in the 1960s when Nashville stars such as Chet Atkins, Connie Smith, Lester Flatt, Mac Wiseman, Jerry Reed, Johnny Gimble, Pig Robbins, and Merle Travis noticed what the Choctaws were doing with their Annual Fair. Each of these performers performed for free at the fair as a tribute to the Choctaw Nation and in support of the fair. In the 1970s, paid performers were added to the Fair and now the last three nights of the Fair include paid country music performers.
Another important element of the annual fair has been a reemergence of the traditional dances of the Choctaw. In the 1970s, an effort began to revive many of the traditional dances of the Choctaw that were no longer being danced. Because of the renewed interest in traditional dance brought about by the Annual Fair, each morning and afternoon dance groups from different communities perform for fairgoers. Many of the dance groups now make paid appearances outside the reservation. The Choctaw dance performed at the Annual Fair is seen as an authentic expression of the ancient Choctaw traditional culture and gives people who attend the fair a glimpse into that culture.
Along with music and dance, many Choctaw artists display their bead work, baskets, drums, and other art during the Fair. At many of the artists' tables, fairgoers will see the skills of the artist being passed down traditionally as there will be two or three generations of the same family working on projects.
The 2021 Choctaw Indian Fair took place 14–17 July, as the COVID-19 pandemic caused 2020's cancellation.

# Charles Edward Munroe

Charles Edward Munroe (May 24, 1849 – December 7, 1938) was an American chemist, discoverer of the Munroe effect, and chair of the department of chemistry at the George Washington University.
He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and studied at the Lawrence scientific school of Harvard, graduating in 1871. He then took a job as an assistant professor of chemistry at the college until 1874, when he moved to Annapolis to become a professor of chemistry at the United States Naval Academy.
In 1886, he joined the Naval Torpedo Station and War College at Newport, Rhode Island as a chemist, where he discovered the Munroe effect, the basis for explosive shaped charges. From 1892–1917 Munroe was head of the department of chemistry and dean of the Corcoran Scientific School at the Columbian University (renamed George Washington University in 1904). During the same time period, he was also the dean of the faculty of graduate studies and earned a Ph.D. in 1894 and LL.D in 1912 from the university. In 1898, he aided in the investigation of the 1898 Capitol Gas Explosion, serving as an explosives expert to determine the cause of the accident. In 1919 he became dean emeritus of the school of graduate studies and professor emeritus of chemistry, roles he kept until he died. He wrote over 100 books on explosives and chemistry, and was appointed in 1900 by the Swedish Academy of Science to nominate the candidate for the Nobel Prize in chemistry. In addition, Munroe served as president of the American Chemical Society in 1898 and as a consultant to the United States Geological Survey and the United States Bureau of Mines. He was an elected member of both the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

# Charles Frias

Charles (Charlie) Frias, (October 8, 1922 – October 24, 2006) was a San Antonio-born businessman and philanthropist who built several successful transportation services companies in Las Vegas. Having learned about taxicabs from working as a driver, in 1962 he bought ABC Union Cab Co., the first of several he would eventually own.
By one estimate, the limousine, sedan, shuttle and bus service companies owned by Frias and his wife made up about 33 percent of the transportation industry in southern Nevada.

## Biography

As a young man, he worked alongside his father and grandmother as a delivery boy in the family business. He graduated from Brackenridge High School in San Antonio, Texas in 1940. He then joined the United States Navy and achieved the rank of quartermaster 2nd class petty officer. After being honorably discharged, he returned to San Antonio, Texas and married his wife, Phyllis.
Upon arriving in Las Vegas, Charlie took a job as a taxicab driver with ABC Union Cab Company. He worked diligently for this company that he would come to own by 1962. Charlie quickly acquired three more cab companies and opened the first taxicab service in Mesquite, Nevada, the Virgin Valley Cab Company. He later went on to further expand into the limousine business by adding Airline Limousine and Las Vegas Limousine to his holdings. At the time of his death in 2006, Charlie had enjoyed over 40 years of success in the transportation field as well as other business activities.

## Civic recognition

On March 16, 2004, Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn commended Frias and his wife as "model Nevadans with generous hearts" as the new Charles and Phyllis Frias Elementary School was dedicated in Southern Highlands, an affluent hillside community about 16 miles from the Las Vegas Strip.
A fire station in Las Vegas also bears his name.
He is well respected by citizens who are active in public service and are aware of his humanitarianism and philanthropic contributions to numerous groups and organizations throughout Southern Nevada.
Frias and his wife have established several scholarships and funded several programs for students in the education system. Charles and Phyllis Frias have made it possible for many children to attend college through educational scholarships. They established the Phyllis Frias Environmental Studies Scholarship at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
After his death, Frias was honored in the Congressional Record by Nevada State Senator Harry Reid.
He is buried with at Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

# Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation

The Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC; Traditional Chinese: 高雄捷運股份有限公司; pinyin: Gāoxióng Jiéyùn Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) is a corporation established by the municipal government of Kaohsiung, Taiwan to build and operate a rapid transit system for the municipality of Kaohsiung.

## History

The corporation was established on 1 February 1999. The government signalled the start of this BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) project with solicitation of private sector investment in the initial phase of a Kaohsiung Rapid Transit System-the Red and Orange Lines Construction Project. This first step demonstrated Kaohsiung Municipal Government's determination to propel Kaohsiung City and County towards a prosperous future. The Kaohsiung Rapid Transit System will not only fulfill a transport function but will also provide the framework and catalyst for the development of the fabric, the economy, and the quality of life of the area, and for the promotion of community life, culture, and art.
China Steel Corporation has been based in Kaohsiung for nearly 30 years. China Steel sponsored the establishment of the provisional office of the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation in February 1999 and lodged an application to invest in the project following the solicitation of the Kaohsiung Municipal Government. The main participants in the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation are: China Steel Corporation, Southeast Cement Corporation, RSEA Engineering Corporation, China Development Industrial Bank, and Industrial Bank of Taiwan.
Following the public appraisal of the applications by the Kaohsiung Municipal Government, Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation was selected on 26 May 1999, as one of the shortlisted applicants. On 10 May 2000, the Corporation was selected as the best applicant and concluded the relevant agreements and protocols with the Kaohsiung Municipal Government in August 2000. The raising of the initial capital stock was completed on 19 December 2000 and an inaugural meeting of the stockholders was held on the same day. Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation obtained a company licence and was registered on 28 December 2000. The Corporation signed the Construction and Operation Agreement and Development Agreement with the Kaohsiung Municipal Government on 12 January 2001.

# Blackford Hill railway station

Blackford Hill railway station was a railway station in the Blackford area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was located at the foot of Blackford Hill on the Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway (ESSJR). It was opened on 1 December 1884.
Blackford Hill station closed in 1962, when passenger rail services were withdrawn from the Edinburgh Suburban line although the line itself was retained for rail freight use. The route continues to be used for freight services to this day, so freight trains avoid Edinburgh's main stations of Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket, and occasionally diverted passenger trains also pass along this line.

## Future

A local campaigning group, the Capital Rail Action Group (CRAG), is running a campaign for the SSJR line to be re-opened to passenger services, and proposes that it should be operated either as a commuter rail service or as a light rail system to form an extension of the forthcoming Edinburgh Tram Network. Following a petition submitted to the Scottish Parliament in 2007, the proposal was rejected in 2009 by transport planners due to anticipated cost.

# Albracca

Albracca (also spelled Albraca and Albrace) is a major city of Cathay in the Italian romantic epics Orlando innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. In the story it is the walled city and fortress where Angelica and the knights she has befriended make their stand when attacked by Agrican, emperor of Tartary.
Scholars have identified Albracca with Bukhara in modern Uzbekistan, in part because the siege of Albracca by Agrican described in the Orlando innamorato resembles the historic siege of Bukhara by Genghis Khan in 1220.

# Isolepis platycarpa

Isolepis platycarpa is a small, tufted sedge species endemic to native to Australia. It belongs to the Cyperaceae family and is most commonly found coastally in Victoria and Tasmania. This rare plant is most commonly referred to as the flat-fruit club-rush.

## Description

Isolepis platycarpa is a short, tufted plant reaching 20 cm (7.9 in) in height. It’s semi-erect stems are long and thread-like, showing a green colour arising from a brown base. Its leaves are very small (1.5 cm (0.59 in)) and have a blade shape.
Its flowering months are in Australian summer (September to March) in which it produces spikelets as well as nuts as its fruit. 1-2 spikelets about 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long occur at the ends of the inflorescent stems, protruding from the stem at about a 45° angle. The spikelet itself has an off-white colour with a reddish tinge. Beneath the spikelets, lower bracts are spirally arranged. These bracts appear brown and have a rounded tips. The nuts are small (0.5–0.8 mm (0.020–0.031 in)) and rounded with a distinct obovate shape, appearing either dark brown or black. These nuts are commonly dispersed by animals or abiotic mechanisms such as rain and high winds. I. platycarpa can be distinguished from its relative Isolepis cernua by its nuts. The nuts of I. cernua are smaller, rounder in shape, darker in colour, and with more visible and extensive veins.

## Habitat and distribution

Isolepis platycarpa occurs in much of the coastal regions of southeast Australia and ventures quite far inland. It is particularly abundant in Victoria but spreads across borders into New South Wales and South Australia. It is also commonly found in Tasmania, predominantly in the east and south-east, as well as occasionally being observed in the very southern tip of Western Australia below Perth. It is a widespread and versatile plant but generally requires moist growing conditions and partial to full shade. As such, Isolepis platycarpa is often found in swamp scrubs but is also found in moist soils in non-wetland areas.
Commonly co-occurring species include Schoenus nitens, Isolepis cernua, and Centrolepis strigose. These species are most commonly found together in moist herbfields and marginal wetlands.

## Conservation

Isolepis platycarpa is considered a rare native nationally and has a “significant” conservation status within the Yarra Ranges in Victoria.
