Hugo Spadafora Franco (September 6, 1940 – September 13, 1985) was an Italian and Panamanian physician and guerrilla fighter in Guinea-Bissau and Nicaragua.  He criticized the military in Panama, which led to his murder by the government of Manuel Noriega in 1985.

Biography
Born in Chitré, Spadafora was a physician, graduated from the University of Bologna, in Italy.  He served as a combat medic with the independence guerrilla of Guinea-Bissau during the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence.   Originally a critic of the military regime headed by Omar Torrijos, he served as its Vice-Minister of Health. In 1978, he organized the Victoriano Lorenzo Brigade, formed by a group of up to 1200 Panamanian fighters to fight against the Anastasio Somoza Debayle regime in Nicaragua.

Concerned about the increased Soviet and Cuban influence in the Sandinista regime of Nicaragua and the delay of free elections, Spadafora joined the Sandino Revolutionary Front (FRS) alongside Edén Pastora ("Comandante Cero"), hero of the August 1978 seizure of Somoza's palace.  The rise of Manuel Noriega as authoritarian ruler of Panama compelled Spadafora to denounce Noriega's protection of drug trafficking. Spadafora was detained by Noriega's forces when entering Panama from Costa Rica in September 1985, and his decapitated body was later found stuffed in a post office bag. The autopsy later found Spadafora's stomach full of the blood he had ingested during the slow severing of his head. He had also endured hours of severe torture, as is quoted in Gary Webb's Dark Alliance: "His body bore evidence of unimaginable tortures. The thigh muscles had been neatly sliced so he could not close his legs, and then something had been jammed up his rectum, tearing it apart. His testicles were swollen horribly, the result of prolonged garroting, his ribs were broken, and then, while he was still alive, his head had been sawed off with a butcher's knife." His head was never found. President Nicolás Ardito Barletta tried to set up a commission to investigate the murder but was forced to resign by Noriega, which increased suspicions that the military had ordered the beheading.

The brutality of the murder shock many and it was a contributing factor to the deterioration of relations between the US and Noriega. 4 years after the murder, the US under president George H. W. Bush would overthrow Noriega by invading Panama in 1989. 

It was not until the administration of President Guillermo Endara in 1989, that a court found Noriega (in absentia) and other followers guilty of a conspiracy to murder Spadafora.  In 2013, his biography Hugo Spadafora: Bajo la Piel del Hombre was published by Amir Valle, a Cuban journalist, literary critic and writer exiled in Germany.

Betty Harper (born October 4, 1946) is an American artist and illustrator.  Best known as the official artist for Elvis Presley Enterprises, she has drawn over 20,000 images of Elvis Presley.  A retrospective of Harper's work, "50+ Years with Elvis," was exhibited at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2013.

Early life/Education 
Born in Bartow, Florida, Harper moved frequently throughout her childhood due to her father's career in the United States Air Force. At the age of 10, while living in Kansas, Harper took an interest in art. After attending 17 schools in 12 years, Harper graduated from Dreux American High School in Dreux, France and went on to study art at the Paris American Academy.

Career 
At the suggestion of The Jordanaires' Ray Walker, Harper moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1969 to pursue her career as an artist. In 1971, RCA Records commissioned Harper for a piece, a turning point in her career. She has created artwork for album covers by musicians including Loretta Lynn, Jim Reeves, Archie Campbell, and Kitty Wells. Her first commissioned piece of Elvis work was in 1977, the year Elvis died. In 1978, to commemorate the one-year anniversary of his death, the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Memphis erected a billboard across from Graceland featuring Harper's work. From August to October 2012, the Center for Southern Folklore in Memphis displayed "50+ Years with Elvis."  From there, the exhibit moved to Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis' birthplace, and then to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum where it remains on display.

Forty Carats is a play by Jay Presson Allen. Adapted from the French original by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy, the comedy revolves around a 40-year-old American divorcee who is assisted by a 22-year-old when her car breaks down during a vacation in Greece. Their ensuing romantic interlude changes from a brief encounter to a potentially serious relationship when he turns up on her New York City doorstep to take her 17-year-old daughter on a date. Finding the attraction between them still irresistibly strong, she must overcome her resistance to a May–December romance while contending with her mother, ex-husband, and a real estate client who wants to discuss more than business.

After two previews, the Broadway production, directed by Abe Burrows, opened on December 26, 1968, at the Morosco Theatre, where it ran for 780 performances. The opening-night cast included Julie Harris (Ann Stanley), Marco St. John (Peter Latham), Iva Withers (Mrs. Adams), Polly Rowles (Mrs. Margolin), Murray Hamilton (Billy Boylan), Franklin Cover (Eddy Edwards), Glenda Farrell (Maud Hayes), Gretchen Corbett (Trina Stanley), Nancy Marchand (Mrs. Latham), John Cecil Holm (Mr. Latham), and Michael Nouri (Pat).

Julie Harris won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, in the lead role and she was succeeded by June Allyson, Joan Fontaine, and Zsa Zsa Gabor throughout the run.

The 1973 film adaptation starred Liv Ullmann.

The River Sark or Sark Water is a river best known for forming part of the western border between Scotland and England. Most of its short length, however, is entirely in Scotland. It flows into the estuary of the River Esk just to the south of Gretna.

History 
The Scots defeated the English at the Battle of Sark in October 1448. It was a significant victory for the Scots, who had not defeated England since the Battle of Otterburn in 1388.

The river has been made famous, partially by the Robert Burns' poem, Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation, which in the first verse it says:

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory;
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam'd in martial story.
Now Sark rins over Solway sands,
An' Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England's province stands-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!" 

The poem's subject was the alleged sale of Scotland in the Anglo-Scottish Treaty of Union. The most famous town on the Sark is Gretna Green, best known for its wedding industry. The A74(M) motorway passes over it.

The area around the Sark was notoriously marshy and sandy, as much of the coast of the north west Irish Sea is. The small section between the lower end of the Sark and the River Esk is known as the "debatable lands", and was formerly a haven for criminals and outlaws who wished to exploit the weakness of the two countries' border defences. The boundary between the Sark and the Esk is called the Scots' Dike.

Its name is not connected with "Cutty Sark".

Bryan Thomas Barry (October 26, 1851 – March 5, 1919), attorney, was mayor of Dallas for three terms: 1894–1895, 1897–1898 and 1904–1907.

Biography
Bryan T. Barry was born October 26, 1851, near Dresden, Navarro County, Texas, to Augustus Barry and Margaret Eleanor Younger. He married Odora Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Thomas M. and A. Elizabeth Williams, on May 1, 1874, in Robertson County, Texas.  They had two children Charles T. Barry and Lela Barry.  After her death in 1914, he married Ellen Sophie Hermany Stone, daughter of Charles W. Hermany and Caroline Levy, and widow of Aubrey Stone.

Prior to moving to Dallas, Barry lived in Navarro and Robertson counties. He was the original land owner of 300 acres that became the community of Barry, Texas. He was admitted to the bar in Houston, Texas in 1872 and practice law in Corsicana.

Bryan Barry moved to Dallas around 1889 where he became involved in banking, investments and law. He headed the law firm of Barry & Etheridge, was Secretary/Treasurer for Texas Savings and Trust

In 1893, W. C. Connor won the election for mayor by 2 votes over Bryan T. Barry. Barry brought suit contending that there were questions about some of the votes, but Connor was seated by the city council. Connor resigned as mayor in January 1894 and the city council decided to hold a special election. However, the state supreme court ruled on the appeal of the previous case and declared Barry to be the mayor, after which the city council decided to seat Barry as mayor. He was re-elected mayor in 1894 and was replaced by Franklin P. Holland in the 1895 election. He was elected again in 1897, serving one year and being replaced by John H. Traylor. In 1904, he was once more elected mayor and served until 1906, when Curtis P. Smith was elected.

Barry died March 5, 1919, in Dallas, Texas, and was interred at Oakland Cemetery in Dallas. He and his first wife, Odora Williams Barry, were re-interred at Grove Hill Cemetery, Dallas, in December 1934.

Dorothy Gladys Spicer (November 3, 1893 – January 25, 1975), also known as Gladys Spicer Fraser, was an American folklorist and writer.

Early life and education 
Spicer was born in Staten Island, New York, the daughter of Jacob Lindley Spicer and Phoebe Bryan Washburn Spicer. Her father was a Quaker field secretary and police chaplin, and her mother was a registered nurse. She graduated from Vassar College in 1916. She earned a master's degree from Radcliffe College.

Career 
Spicer was on the staff of the national board of the YWCA. In 1943, she was named nationality communities secretary of the YWCA, responsible for outreach to immigrant groups. She organized classes about American cookery and gave presentations to community groups about ethnic customs and celebrations, based on her research and travels in Europe. She was art adviser to the Utica Festival of Arts and Crafts in 1938, and advised the New Jersey State Museum on an exhibit of Latin American arts and crafts. 

She was a full-time writer after midlife, with broader travels to China, Ceylon, and the Middle East. "Once you become a sleuth in such matters, each hour is an adventure, each day a journey into the unknown," she explained to a reporter in 1960.

Publications 
In addition to her books on folk customs for adults, Spicer wrote cookbooks, fiction, and a series of story collections for children, with the matching titles 13 Monsters, 13 Witches (1963), 13 Ghosts (1965), 13 Giants (1966), 13 Devils (1967), 13 Goblins, 13 Rascals, and 13 Dragons (1974).

An intertidal wetland is an area along a shoreline that is exposed to air at low tide and submerged at high tide. This type of wetland is defined by an intertidal zone and includes its own intertidal ecosystems.

Description
The main types of intertidal wetlands are mudflats (e.g., mangrove swamps) and salt marshes. The mangrove swamps are encountered along tropical shores and are characterized by tree vegetation, while  salt marshes are mostly found in temperate zones and are mostly grass ecosystems.

Intertidal wetlands are commonly encountered in most estuaries. Intertidal wetland ecosystems are amongst the most productive plant communities and often constitute a large part of the estuary areas.
