Adams served as an officer in the South Carolina militia during the American Revolution and also served in the Continental Army.  Adams married Grace Weston, daughter of William Weston, and they had seven children.

Adams was instrumental in the successful agricultural development of central part of South Carolina in the 18th century, and was influential in the political structure of the state being centered in Columbia, South Carolina at the time.  He was a strong proponent of education, and of military and political service to state and to country, and served in the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Two of his sons, Joel Adams II (1784–1859) and William Weston Adams (1786–1831), graduated from Yale University and served in the South Carolina House of Representatives. His grandson, James Hopkins Adams, graduated from Yale University, and was the 66th Governor of South Carolina from 1854 to 1857.  His grandson, James Uriah Adams (1812–1871), was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and a graduate of Yale University.  Joel's grandson James Pickett Adams (1828–1904) was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and was Major in the Confederate States Army.  

His grandson Robert Adams II was a captain in the Confederate Army, and his life was depicted in the film The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams.

Joel's great grandson Warren Adams (1838–1884) was a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate Army and was in command of the First South Carolina Infantry Regiment at Battery Wagner. Warren graduated from The Citadel in 1859, where he was the Commandant of the Corps of Cadets.

His great grandson Henry Walker Adams (1852-1903), son of James Uriah Adams, served in The South Carolina House of Representatives.
 
The South Carolina author and physician Dr. Edward Clarkson Leverett Adams (1876–1946) was the double great-great grandson of Joel, and was a member of  The South Carolina House of Representatives. 
E.C.L. Adams was the great grandson of Joel Adams II and James Adams, two of Joel's sons.  He was the author of a number of books including Tales of the Congaree.  African American author, and  Harlem Renaissance leader, Langston Hughes visited E.C.L. Adams at his home in South Carolina and said of Adams that he "was exactly my idea of what a true Southern gentleman should be."

His descendant Weston Adams served in the South Carolina House of Representatives, and was also a United States Ambassador.

Joel Adams is buried at St. John's Congaree Episcopal Church in Congaree, South Carolina.

Jean Lemire (16251685) was a master carpenter and a syndic of Quebec City, and is the ancestor of most Lemires living in Canada. His father and mother, Mathurin LeMire and Jeanne Vannier, lived in the Saint Vivien district of Rouen, Normandy. Rouen is a port on the Seine river. Jean Lemire was baptized in the Saint Vivien church June 4, 1625. He was a carpenter by trade.

Jean Lemire crossed the Atlantic Ocean between 1650 and 1653. He married Louise Marsolet, daughter of Nicolas Marsolet of Saint-Aignan and Marie Barbier, and thereby entered one of the most important families of Canada (New France).

In 1664, Jean Lemire was elected syndic of Quebec City following the resignation of the mayor and two councilors. He was reelected syndic in 1667.

In 1667, the couple decided to establish themselves at Cap-Rouge, Quebec City. By then, they owned ten acres (40,000 m2) of land and five cattle, and they employed three servants.

By 1684, the master carpenter was in high esteem throughout the region. He was assigned the construction of the steeple in Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec, a structure of Batiscan oak, designed to crown the south tower of the cathedral.

Nine months later, on October 5, 1684, he died at fifty-nine years old. Louise outlived her husband until 1712.

Salary history bans refer to policies, adopted mostly in the United States, that ban employers from asking job candidates about their previous salaries. The purpose of these laws is the reduce the impact of historical discrimination. As of January 2021, nineteen American states and twenty-one American municipalities have adopted some form of a salary history ban. The first salary history ban was passed in Massachusetts in August 2016.

Salary history bans forbid employers from asking candidates their salary histories. However, the bans do not forbid workers from volunteering their salaries. This raises the possibility of adverse selection, in which only workers with good salaries volunteer (and workers with bad salaries decline to answer). Voluntary disclosure also raises the possibility of unravelling, in which one person volunteering creates incentives for others to volunteer. In principle, this could lead to a full unravelling of salary history bans in which all workers disclose (despite the ban on employers asking).

Salary history bans have been found to be effective in reducing pay gap between men and women. Research suggests that these bans reduced the gender pay gap by 2 percentage points in states which have these bans in place. 

Behavioral research in 2020 about salary disclosure behavior suggests that about 25% of job-seekers would volunteer their prior salaries, even if not asked, and that bans would partially (if not fully) unravel.

Repetto is a French ballet shoe company. It was founded in 1947 by Rose Repetto, after her son, choreographer Roland Petit, would come home from classes complaining of sore feet. Repetto provides ballet shoes for 
the Opéra National de Paris and many other well-known French ballet companies.
, the company had 60 million euros in revenues and employed 340 people.

History
Rose Repetto created her first ballet shoes for her son in 1947 and soon thereafter opened up her first workshop near the National Opera of Paris. The company gained fame from creating the "Cendrillon" ballerina flat for French ballet dancer and actress Brigitte Bardot's 1956 film Et Dieu… créa la femme. In 1959, Repetto opened up a store at 22 rue de la Paix in Paris near the National Opera that remains open today.

The brand fell out of the limelight after Repetto's death in 1984, but French entrepreneur Jean-Marc Gaucher helped turn around the company when he took over as CEO in 1999. Since then, Repetto has expanded internationally and tried to define itself as a luxury lifestyle brand. It has branched out into a footwear collection for women, men and children, ready-to-wear, small leather goods and fragrances. The company opened its first store in America in the New York City neighborhood of Soho in the fall of 2015.

The Baynes Hydroelectric Power Station is a planned  hydroelectric power plant in northwest Namibia, at the border with Angola.

Location
The power station is located across the Kunene River, in the Kunene Region of Namibia, approximately  downstream of Ruacana Hydroelectric Power Station, at the international border with the Republic of Angola.

The location is at the foothills of the Baynes Mountains, approximately , by road, northwest of Windhoek, the capital and largest city of Namibia. The dam and power station would sit astride the border between Angola and Namibia.

Overview
Before 2005, NamPower, the electricity supply parastatal in Namibia, maintained a Firm Power Contract (FPC) with Eskom of South Africa. That year, the contract expired and could not be renewed because South Africa was having a power shortage of its own. Joint feasibility studies, environmental and resettlement assessments, selected the present location, because it was the least disruptive to the environment and to the lives of the indigenous communities. The governments of Angola and Namibia decided to build a 600 megawatt power station and share the energy equally.

Technical details
The dam consists of a rock fill embankment with a concrete face. The rock fill will be . The maximum dam wall height will be , creating a reservoir that measures , long and a maximum width of . The resultant lake would have a surface area of  and hold  of water. Power will be generated by five Francis-type Vertical Axis turbines. Two turbines will each have capacity of 71 megawatts and three with 156.75 megawatts capacity each.

Construction
The construction budget has been calculated at US$1.2 billion. Construction is planned to start in 2021 and conclude in 2025. After completion, Angola and Namibia are expected to utilize 300 megawatts each. In April 2020, that timeline was pushed back; with construction starting in 2023 and commissioning in 2029.

Shirley Palmer,  (1786–1852) was an English physician and medical writer.

Life 
Born at Coleshill, Warwickshire, 27 August 1786, Shirley Palmer was the son of Edward Palmer, solicitor, by his second wife, Benedicta Mears. His early education was at Coleshill Grammar School, and at Harrow, under Joseph Drury. Palmer later became a pupil of Lichfield surgeon Thomas Salt (father of Egyptologist Henry Salt), and subsequently studied under John Abernethy at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London. He became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1807, and graduated MD at Glasgow in 1815. 

Settling at Tamworth, Staffordshire, he was twice elected high bailiff of the town. In 1831 he established a practice at Birmingham, but still maintained his residence and connection at Tamworth. He died on 11 November 1852, at Tamworth, and was buried in the new churchyard, which had once formed part of his garden. He married, on 29 September 1813, Marie Josephine Minette Breheault, a French refugee of good family. Charles Ferrars Palmer was their son.


Works 
Palmer published: 

 The Swiss Exile, a juvenile denunciation of Napoleon in heroic verse in thirty or forty pages (4to, n.d.), dedicated to Anna Seward.
 Popular Illustrations of Medicine, London, 1829, 8vo.

Alchitrof is the name of a 1568 painting by Cristofano dell'Altissimo that depicts an Aethiopian king.

Background
16th century Italian historian and biographer Paolo Giovio (1483–1552) assembled a series of 484 portraits, known as the Giovio Series. These portraits included, but where not limited to, rulers, statesmen and literary figures. Much of the original collection is now lost, but it is preserved in a series of at least 280 copies made by the Italian painter Cristofano dell'Altissimo (c. 1525–1605). From the surviving copies by Cristifano, two portraits are of Ethiopian monarchs. The first of these was of Emperor Lebna Dengel (r. 1508–1540) while the other was of a king named "Alchitrof".

Historicity
Alchitrof is not named in any Ethiopian regnal lists. The portrait of Alchitrof includes a feathered headdress and three rings on his lower lip, features which do not match with what is known about Ethiopian custom and culture during the period when the portrait was painted. It is possible that "Alchitrof" is not meant to be real person but rather "a fantastic approach" from a European perspective.

Kate Lowe, a professor of Renaissance history, suggested that the name "Alchitrof" may be a corruption of the name of Lebna Dengel's eldest son al-Fiqtur. Lowe also suggested that the there may be a "mismatch" between the image and its inscription, as the clothing and jewellery are often used in reference to South America rather than Sub-Saharan Africa in Renaissance art. Additionally, Lowe argued that "Achitrof" may be an "imagined Brazilian, Carib or Amerindian chief or ruler" with his facial features being inspired by "more realistic physiognomic features taken from black Africans in Europe".

Alternatively, Alchitrof may not have been a king in the modern-day territory of Ethiopia, but rather that the term "Aethiopia" that is used refers to a more generalized region covering much of Sub-Saharan Africa and thus Alchitrof, if he existed, may have been king of a totally different geographical region to that of Lebna Dengel. The modern-day region of Ethiopia was frequently called "Abyssinia" by the Europeans at the time the painting was made and the painting of Lebna Dengel specifically calls him the "Great King of the Abyssinians" instead of "Aethiopia" as used in the portrait of Alchitrof, suggesting that the original artist (or copier) deliberately chose to differentiate their regions of rule. Dr.  Emil Krén and Dr. Daniel Marx suggested that Alchitrof did not look "Ethiopian" because Aethiopia extended into modern-day Tanzania.
