Eric Kingsley Abraham (20 April 1898 – 20 March 2003) was an Australian World War I veteran who is notable for having been the last surviving recruit of Australia's famous snowball march, the March of the Dungarees.

Abraham was working as a postal officer at Boonah when he was recruited in Ipswich, Queensland in 1915, but only after convincing his mother to sign the enlistment form to state that he was over the age of 18, despite only being 17.

Abraham joined the 5th Division in Brisbane before sailing from Sydney to Cairo and then to London where he was transferred from the infantry to signal engineers, before ultimately travelling to France.

During his service, Abraham was involved in many battles including the Battle of Amiens, the Battle of Passchendaele and operations in Villers-Bretonneux and Morlancourt.  Abraham considered the Battle of Passchendaele the worst regarding the amount of action and shell fire he encountered.

Abraham also witnessed The Red Baron being shot down.  According to Abraham, after being told The Red Baron was in the air, he watched the German fighter pilot manoeuvring around in the sky before the plane was shot down to cheers on the ground.  Abraham said that he never thought he'd see the day when he cheered when someone died.

Abraham was discharged in October 1919.  He said he considered himself lucky to return home alive, describing war as a "strange thing" due to the unpredictability of who would be killed during battle.

Upon returning home, Abraham worked at a post office in Laidley, Queensland while also becoming a qualified accountant, later working for the Australian Taxation Office, the Prices Commission and the National Insurance Commission.  Abraham also served as an executive officer for the Department of Health.  He moved to Brisbane in 1981.

In 1998, Abraham was part of a commemorative delegation that returned to Villers-Bretonneux to mark the 80th anniversary of Armistice, during which he was awarded the Legion of Honour recognising his service on the Western Front.

In 1999, Abraham was awarded the 80th Anniversary Armistice Remembrance Medal.

As a living Australian citizen who was born prior to the Federation of Australia, Abraham was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2001.

In 1999, Abraham published his autobiography, A Dungaree Digger.

After suffering a series of strokes Abraham died at the age of 104 on 20 March 2003 at an RSL nursing home in Pinjarra Hills, just one month short of his 105th birthday.  Abraham's death resulted in Ted Smout being Queensland's last surviving World War I veteran.

Abraham was farewelled at a state funeral held at St John's Cathedral in Brisbane on 27 March 2003.

Recipients of the Legion of Honour
The Honour of Wallingford (or feudal barony of Wallingford) was a medieval English feudal barony which existed between 1066 and 1540 with its caput at Wallingford Castle in present-day Oxfordshire.

The Honour of Wallingford was established after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The Honour initially comprised the manors of Wallingford and Harpsden and thereafter gained numerous other manors. In the late 11th century Miles Crispin (d.1107) held the larger of the 2 estates contained within the manor of Alkerton in Oxfordshire, as part of the Honour of Wallingford. After Crispin's death in 1107 his widow Maud supported the Empress Matilda during the Anarchy. When King Stephen defeated Matilda, Maud entered a religious house and King Stephen gave her estate to Henry, Duke of Normandy. This made Aston Rowant part of the Honour of Wallingford. The Honour of Wallingford also included Newton Purcell. The honour of Wallingford is specifically mentioned in chapter 43 of Magna Carta of 1215 as being then in the hands of King John, having escheated from its previous holder. The chapter dealt with the barons' complaints about the levels of feudal relief due on lands held from such escheated baronies. Until the 13th century, Chesterton, Oxfordshire was part of the honour. In 1360 Pyrton manor was recorded as part of the honour.

In the 13th century the Honour of St. Valery passed to the Earl of Cornwall, who at that time also held the Honour of Wallingford. When Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall died childless in 1300, however, the Honour of St. Valery passed to the Crown. By 1414, the Honour of St. Valery was part of this honour. In 1540 the honour was separated from the Duchy of Cornwall by Act of Parliament (32 Hen. 8 c. 53), at which point it became part of the newly created Honour of Ewelme.

Recipients of the Honour of Wallingford include Piers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall, who was given it together with Cornwall by Edward II in 1307 (see Materials in cornish law). Thomas Chaucer was given the honour by Henry IV in 1399. William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk became constable of Wallingford Castle in 1434 and at the time of his murder in 1450 his properties included the honour. These passed to his wife (daughter of Thomas Chaucer) Alice de la Pole. Their son, John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk, also held the honour.

The Tuloma (, ,  and ) is a river in Murmansk Oblast in Russia. With a drainage basin of  and an average discharge at 255 m³/s, the Tuloma is one of the biggest rivers in northern Fennoscandia.

The river has its sources in the Saariselkä mountains in the eastern parts of the Lapland region in Finland. The Tuloma itself is formed by the confluence of the rivers Lotta and Nota rivers in the Verkhnetulomskoye Reservoir (formerly Lake Notozero). Its outflow is in the Kola Bay, at the confluence with the river Kola and  south of Murmansk in the Kola Peninsula in Russia.

Hydro Power development
There are two hydroelectric power stations on the Tuloma. The Lower Tuloma was finished in 1938, and is located at the town of Murmashi, close to the rivers outflow into the Kola Bay. The dam raised the river by , and the resulting reservoir was  long. 

The second and largest power plant, the Upper Tuloma, was built in the 1960s at Verkhnetulomsky, 60 kilometres further upriver.  A  high dam was constructed below the outflow from Lake Notozero, forming the large Verkhnetulomskoye Reservoir  long and up to  wide.

Fishing

The Tuloma used to be a great salmon river, on a par with the famous Tana River in Norway in productivity, with annual catches in excess of 100 tons.  At Padun Falls at the outflow from Lake Notozero the Skolt Sami had rights to catch salmon in a large weir, and every year tens of tons of salmon was caught at this site alone. 

When  hydro power plants were built the salmon spawning grounds and migration routes were destroyed. At the first power plant, the Lower Tuloma, a fish ladder was built. Within a few years salmon catches soon approached their former levels. When the Upper Tuloma plant and a dam at Verkhnetulomskiy were built the salmon stock collapsed. Lake Notozero became part of the large Verkhnetulomskoye reservoir, and the Padun Falls was gone. A fish lift was built at the dam, but it did not work and was closed down after a short time. There remains, however, a small salmon stock in the Toluma, spawning in the tributaries below the dam, especially in the Pecha. (tuulomajoki.fi)

There is a project under way to ascertain whether it is possible to reestablish the salmon to the river, by allowing the fish to pass the dams and thus reaching spawning grounds in the tributaries above the reservoirs, which are still in their natural state.  It is hoped that this will bring substantial benefits to the region, through recreational fishing and eco-tourism. (Tuloma River Project)

Sayyid Ya'qūb Māydashtī (1799–1871) was a Kurdish poet from Kermanshah and considered one of the greatest from the Kermanshah area. Subjects of his included love, religion, mysticism, satire and the popular genre of enigma and answering them.

Biography

His diwan include words in Laki, Sorani and Kalhori and use their idioms for the purpose of giving them new expressions. Beside being influenced by other Kurdish poets, he was also influenced by Persian literature.

Richard Shepherd (born Richard Allen Silberman; June 4, 1927 – January 14, 2014) was an American film producer.

Biography 

Born Richard Allen Silberman in 1927 in Kansas City, Missouri, he attended Stanford University and studied journalism. After graduating, he worked for talent agent Lew Wasserman at MCA, selling syndicated TV shows. In the early 1950s, Jews were somewhat ostracized where he worked, and he changed his name to Shepherd, according to his son Scott. During his employment with MCA, Shepherd enlisted in the United States Army, writing stories for the Stars and Stripes newspaper in post-World War II Germany.

After leaving MCA, he formed Jurow-Shepherd Productions with Martin Jurow.  Their first picture together was The Hanging Tree starring Gary Cooper and Maria Schell which they followed with The Fugitive Kind, an adaptation of Tennessee Williams's Orpheus Descending, starring Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani.

They signed a six-picture deal with Paramount Pictures where they made films including an adaptation of Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany’s. When Paramount Pictures wanted to replace the signature song "Moon River," both Shepherd and Jurow exclaimed "Over our dead bodies!" The song later won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

He became an agent again in the 1960s, becoming one of the first partners at Creative Management Associates. He would go on to head production at Warner Bros. in 1970 and MGM in 1976 and later founded his own agency, the Artists Agency, where he would work into his 70s.

Personal life and death
Shepherd was married from 1954 to 1978 to Judith Mayer Goetz, daughter of film producer William Goetz and granddaughter of Louis B. Mayer. They had three children, Scott, Tony, and Victoria. In 1979, Shepherd married Patricia and had a son, Christopher, by her.

Shepherd died at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 86, from kidney failure.

Empress Zhang (張皇后, personal name unknown) was briefly an empress of the Chinese Liang Dynasty.

She was the wife of Xiao Dong the Prince of Yuzhang, a great-grandson of the founder of the dynasty Emperor Wu, and she therefore was known as the Princess of Yuzhang. In 551, the general Hou Jing, who controlled the imperial government at Jiankang, in order to show off his power, deposed Xiao Dong's granduncle Emperor Jianwen and made Xiao Dong emperor.  By that time, Xiao Dong and Princess Zhang had long been under house arrest after Hou's capturing of Jiankang in 549, and when the imperial procession arrived to escort Xiao Dong, he and Princess Zhang were tending their garden to grow vegetables to supplement their diet (as the region had been suffering from a war-induced famine ever since Hou's rebellion and takeover of Jiankang). After Xiao Dong was made emperor, he created her empress. Two and a half months later, however, Hou forced him to yield the throne to Hou, who took the throne as Emperor of Han. Nothing further is known about Empress Zhang, including whether she survived her husband's killing by the general Zhu Maichen (朱買臣) in 552.

Freiston is a village and civil parish in Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish (including Freiston Shore) at the 2011 census was 1,306. It is situated approximately  east from Boston. The Greenwich Prime Zero meridian line passes between the village and Hobhole Drain.

History
In 1114 Freiston Priory of St James was founded by Alan de Creon for Benedictine monks – it became a monastic cell of Crowland Abbey in 1130. Nothing remains of the priory buildings that stood on the south side of the present church, except for a Norman doorway in the south aisle that opened into the cloisters.

Between 1217 and 1232 the powerful Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester signed an agreement with the 56 free tenants of Freiston, who quite remarkably all had seals on the document. The number of seals could also suggest remarkably high literacy rates which were not previously thought to have existed in the 13th century. From what is known about the composition of medieval settlements and households there would have been between 4-6 people on average for each of these households giving a minimum population of 224–336, this not taking into the account the possibility of serfs and other peasants who were not included in the signing of the document meaning the population could have been above 500.

Until 1974 the parish formed part of Boston Rural District, in the Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions (formally known as parts) of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888, Holland had been in most respects, a county in itself. Before this, Freiston had been in Skirbeck Wapentake, Parts of Holland.

Community

Freiston is one of 18 civil parishes which, together with Boston, form the Borough of Boston local government arrangement, in place since a reorganisation of 1 April 1974 which resulted from the Local Government Act 1972. The parish forms part of the Coastal electoral ward.

The settlements of Haltoft End,  north-north-west, and Scrane End (or Crane End),  south from Freiston, lie within the parish On its eastern side, Freiston parish adjoins The Wash.

Freiston is the location of HM Prison North Sea Camp, a men's open prison.

St James' church 
Freiston Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St James. The church was originally cruciform with a central tower. The existing tower is of Perpendicular style, and the parts of the nave are Early English. The roof and chancel were restored in 1763, and the whole building in 1871. An earlier rood screen was sold to the church at Fishtoft.
