DeKalb Public Transit is the primary provider of mass transportation in DeKalb County, Illinois, with routes serving the DeKalb area. As of 2019, the system provided 509,527 rides over 27,393 annual vehicle revenue hours with 21 buses.

History

Public transit in DeKalb began in 1902 with streetcars operated by the DeKalb-Sycamore & Interurban Traction Company. The streetcars were discontinued in 1924 and private bus companies continued operating the transit system in DeKalb until at least 1952.

In 1970, students at Northern Illinois University, who had advocated for a bus system for years, approved a student association referendum to create a transit system with a $7 per semester fee. On September 13, 1971, the Huskie Bus Line began operations with five routes and eleven buses. By 1982, the transit system had become the second largest in the state, with over 3 million rides each year.

Huskie Bus Line merged with the City of DeKalb TransVAC bus system on August 20, 2018 to provide increased service and lower costs. Transit service in DeKalb was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in increased cleaning and a mask mandate. The mask mandate was removed in April 2022. In January 2023, the City of DeKalb authorized a study into extending the Metra Union Pacific West Line to DeKalb. This would allow direct service from DeKalb to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago, avoiding a transfer in Elburn to the Route 12 bus.

Service

DeKalb Public Transit operates 15 routes on the Full Service schedule when NIU is in session and 11 routes on the Break Service schedule, when NIU is not in session. Service is provided 24/7 as a result of Route 11 operating overnight to fill the service gap when other routes end. Route 12 provides service to Cortland and Elburn and the Metra Union Pacific West Line at Elburn station.

As of 2022, excepting Route 12 and paratransit, fares are set at $0.50 for adults, $0.25 for students and seniors, and free for children and local college students and staff at Northern Illinois University. The system provided fare free public transit from 2020 until 2022 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Transfer points
 Holmes Student Center — serves as the primary transfer hub at NIU, serving 10 routes.

Yoshida Kiyonari (; died 3 August 1891) was a Japanese samurai and diplomatic envoy to the United States.

Early life and education
In 1865, Yoshida was sent with Sameshima Naonobu and seventeen other samurai from Satsuma Domain to England to study Western science and technology. During 1867, Yoshida and Sameshima travelled with two others to the United States and joined the Brotherhood of the New Life, Thomas Lake Harris's Christian spiritual group. When they returned to England later that year, they claimed to have felt the presence of God through Harris' preaching in New York.

Yoshida studied at University College London. He enrolled at New Jersey's Rutgers College in September 1868, but left after a few months. The following July, he registered at Wilbraham Academy (now Monson Academy) in Massachusetts and studied political economy.

After graduating, he spent time in New York and Hartford, where he gained experience in banking.

Career
He returned to Japan in 1870, and joined the Finance Ministry. He quickly became deputy junior minister, then head of the Tax Bureau, and finally deputy Vice Minister by November 1871. While working there, he secured a loan for Japan from the United States and Europe in 1871.

He transferred to the Foreign Ministry, and in January 1874 he was appointed "extraordinary envoy and plenipotentiary minister" to the United States. In 1879, he arranged the visit of Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Grant to Japan, and secured the return of funds from the United States Congress. He stayed in the position of envoy until 1882.

In July 1884, he became Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, but fell out with Minister Inoue Kaoru. He was made Vice Minister of Agriculture and Commerce in September 1885.

He was made an honorary member of the Genrōin in 1887, and awarded the title of viscount.

Personal life
He became friends with the historian Henry Adams, with whom he shared an interest in archaic law.

He died after a period of illness of 3 August 1891.

Anthony Montague Parkin (1943-2012, also known as A.M. Parkin, Tony Parkin, Monty Parkin) was an English artist known for his drawings, engravings and watercolours depicting daily life and nature in his home village of Kemsing, Kent.

Life and work
Parkin was born on 15 August 1943 in Kemsing, Kent. He studied at Beckenham School of Art and Ravensbourne College of Art. He preferred representational drawing to the in-vogue preference for abstract art.

Graham Sutherland sponsored A.M. Parkin's 1977 solo exhibition at the Langton Gallery in Chelsea, saying:

"When first I saw the work of A. M. Parkin six or seven years ago, I was struck at the outset by the fact that here was someone using his eyes acutely in his chosen field with obsessive attention ....Any collector of prints…would do well to start a collection of these mysterious works – so full of understanding of quiet places".

In 1978 Parkin was chosen, by Quentin Crisp, as the winner of a drawing competition (Parkin had submitted an etching of Crisp) and the prize giving was broadcast on television.

During a career spanning nearly five decades, A.M. Parkin was commissioned by the likes of Victor Lownes and Langton Iliffe, 2nd Baron Iliffe.

The latter was attracted to Parkin's intricate pencil drawing style, commissioning the artist to produce a study of 'The Elm at Yattendon' in Berkshire, while Lownes commissioned a pencil drawing of Stocks House in Hertfordshire.

In September 1981 Parkin's set of pencil drawings called 'Village People' featured on BBC Radio Four's 'Countryside in September' programme. The portraits appear in A.M. Parkin's retrospective book 'A Village Artist'.

Parkin's work has been exhibited at galleries including the Royal Academy and The Mall Galleries in London. His 1985 engraving of Quentin Crisp is held at London's National Portrait Gallery.

He produced a series of political postcards in the late 1980s, galvanised by opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Poll Tax. Parkin refused to pay his poll tax, was taken to court, then sold the postcards at £1 apiece to pay off his court costs.

In 2011 Parkin took part in the Discerning Eye exhibition at the invitation of art critic Brian Sewell.

In January 2012 The Illustration Cupboard presented a collection of Parkin's original artwork for the Margaret Thatcher satirical postcards of the 1980s, including the internationally recognised "Market Forces' Sweetheart", which had been voted top political postcard of 1989 by collectors.

Parkin died on 11 June 2012, having just completed a retrospective book of his life's work.

A charitable trust to support student artists has been created by A.M. Parkin's family. The first winners of this prize are: Afsaneh Navidinia (Goldsmiths University, London), Evelyn Kitt (Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford), Laura Coats (York St John University, York).

The action of 4 January 1781 was a minor battle of the War of American Independence. A French frigate division, departing Brest, met two British 74-gun ships of the line. The frigates tried to flee their stronger opponents, which gave chase. One of the frigates sacrificed herself to allow the others to escape.

Background 
The War of American Independence had started in 1776, increasing tension between England and France. French support for the American insurgents and British provocations against French ships finally triggered the Anglo-French War in 1778. French fleet sailed to America under Orvilliers and Estaing. In 1781, another expedition was preparing under Grasse. Frigates served as reconnaissance screens for the squadrons, but between major movements, they would often cruise independently to engage in commerce raiding.

Battle 
On 3 January 1781, a frigate division departed Brest to cruise at the entrance of the English Channel. It comprised the 32-gun frigates Fine, under Tanouarn, and Minerve, under Grimouard, as well as the lighter 26-gun Diligente and Aigrette.

In the morning of 4, in heavy weather, the division detected the British 74-gun HMS Valiant and Courageux, under Mulgrave, and the frigate tried to escape. At 1330, Courageux caught up with Minerve and engaged. Grimouard was wounded in the battle, and Lieutenant Villeneuve took over. One hour later, Valiant also engaged Minerve, which then struck her colours. After Minerve surrendered, Valiant chased Fine, which successfully escaped.

Aftermath 
Courageux had sustained serious damage to her rigging, and had change her bowsprit, foremast and mizzen to repair.

Fine went on to serve in the Indian Ocean in the squadron under Suffren.

Infidel was written by Christian author Ted Dekker and was released on December 15, 2007. It is the second young adult novel in The Lost Book series. These new novels span the fifteen-year period that is gapped in the Circle Trilogy'''s Black and Red. Thomas Hunter is still the commander of the Forest Guard when these stories occur.

Synopsis

Stretched to their limits and celebrated as heroes, the chosen will wish they had never been given that thankless task of finding the seven lost Books of History before the Dark One can. Martyn, a new Horde general, emerges and lures Johnis into the Horde city, Thrall, to force him into betraying Thomas. Once there, the chosen four are all caught by the Horde and Johnis is forced to strand Thomas into the desert to die. In the end, Johnis, Silvie, Billos, and Darsal are able to save Johnis' mother, retrieve three of the Lost books of History, and recruit the Dark Priest of Teelah's daughter into becoming a member of the forest.

Printing error
An unknown amount of the original copies of Infidel feature Chosen's map. The back side map has the "Black Forest" written as "Unknown". The bottom left features an eye, as on the cover of Chosen, rather than the typical curled hand, as on the cover of Infidel''.

Phitsanulok Mansion () or formerly known Banthomsinth House ( lit: House of the Sleeping Narayana) is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Thailand, located not far to the east from the government house in Dusit, Bangkok. The mansion was originally built at the behest of King Rama VI was and given to his aide-de-camp, .

History 
The high cost of maintenance forced Lord Aniruth-deva to offer the mansion to King Rama VII, which he refused. During the Second World War, the Japanese government wanted to buy the mansion and use it as an embassy. However because the mansion is located in such an important strategic area, the Thai government decided to buy the mansion and use it as a state guest house instead. Later it was decided that it should become an official residence of the Prime Minister of Thailand. The Prime minister works nearby at the Government House. The mansion is maintained by the Office of the Prime Minister, a government agency of the Royal Thai Government.

Only two prime ministers, Prem Tinsulanonda and Chuan Leekpai, have taken residence there.  Prem moved to another premise after a few days. The house is reportedly haunted.
