Pisania, was a settlement in The Gambia. It was visited by the British explorers Mungo Park and Daniel Houghton on their expeditions into the interior of Africa. It has since become the town of Karantaba Tenda.

History

Foundation 
In the late 18th century, British traders began independent establishing factories at settlements along the Gambia River. By 1786, a factory had been established north of MacCarthy Island, at a place named Pisania. This factory, and the surrounding settlement, were likely established by two brothers named Aynsley, one of whom, Robert, was likely captured by the French in 1779, but returned soon after. In 1791, the Aynsleys were joined by a surgeon named John Laidley.

Mungo Park 
Mungo Park arrived in Pisania from Jufureh in July 1795. He was befriended by Laidley and stayed with him for six months. While in Pisania, he studied Mandinka and collected information on the neighbouring countries. He left Pisania on 1 December, but returned after his journey into the interior of Africa on 10 June 1797. Laidley had died earlier in the year in Barbados, while on his way home to England.

Abandonment 
Robert Aynsley had a mixed-race son who had taken over the running of Pisania prior to 1818. He was forced to leave Pisania and travel to Tendaba as raids and conflict between kingdoms on the upper river became more prevalent. In his 1842 expedition, Governor Thomas Lewis Ingram passed by Pisania. He noted that the ruins of the factor were still visible from the river side, although at that point there no inhabitants anymore.

Trio Jeepy is a jazz album featuring saxophonist Branford Marsalis leading a trio that included notable bassist Milt Hinton. It was recorded January 3–4, 1988 at Astoria Studios in New York, New York. It peaked at number 3 on the Top Jazz Albums chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989 for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Group.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Branford Marsalis clearly had a lot of fun during this set... The performances are quite spontaneous (the occasional mistakes were purposely left in) and Marsalis really romps on such tunes as "Three Little Words," "Makin' Whoopee," and "Doxy." On the joyful outing that is also one of Branford Marsalis' most accessible recordings, Milt Hinton often steals the show."

Marsalis' cover of Makin' Whoopee would later be the first music video featured on VH1 Smooth upon its initial broadcast on August 1, 1998.

Patterson Hotel, also known as the Hale House, is a historic building located near the town square in Watertown, Tennessee. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Completed in 1898, the Hale House originally served as a private residence. In addition, the structure has served as a railroad hotel and boarding house. Currently, the building is privately owned and operated as a bed and breakfast, the Watertown Bed and Breakfast.

Its National Register nomination describes: "Constructed in ca. 1898 and 1912, this frame, red brick veneer, two-story building began as a central hall plan and frame house. The original exterior was weatherboard. In 1912, the brick red veneer was added as well as the classic square columns and the wraparound porch. From this simple Folk Victorian style with Queen Anne influences emerged a Classic Revival hotel, as the bay of the Queen Anne style became the polygonal projection of the Classical Revival. Also, other Queen Anne influences remained in place, including the windows where the large panes of glass are surrounded by smaller panes of glass. Thus, the building is an interesting blend of Queen Anne and Classical Revival elements."

Donald A. Swan (28 March 1935 – June 1981) was an American anthropologist and advocate for eugenics and segregation.

Early life
Donald A. Swan was born on 28 March 1935.

He got a degree from Queens College. He studied economics in graduate school at Columbia University but was expelled for stealing books from the library. He wrote a letter in appreciation to Karl Donitz, the successor to Adolf Hitler.

Career
Swan was an assistant professor at the University of Southern Mississippi. He was a co-founder in 1959 of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE), serving as treasurer and corresponding secretary, and he was involved in the Northern League. He was involved in the IAAEE's attempts to overturn Brown v. Board of Education. In the 1950s he contributed articles to The Truth Seeker purporting genetic differences based on early 20th century IQ studies and Nazi anthropology. He made speeches using the pseudonym Thor Swenson. He was a defender of the German eugenicist Hans F. K. Günther.

In 1966, Swan was arrested on mail-fraud charges. During the raid on Swan's apartment in Queens, New York, the police found Nazi memorabilia, weapons and ammunition. A book by George Lincoln Rockwell of the American Nazi Party was also found, as well as a photograph depicting Swan with American Nazi Party members.

Death and legacy
Swan died in June 1981. After his death, Swan's papers were purchased and donated to Roger Pearson at the Institute for the Study of Man, under a Pioneer Fund grant of $59,000.

Draculoides is a genus of troglobite arachnid endemic to North West Australia. Often mistaken for a spider, D. bramstokeri is a schizomid — a small, soil-dwelling invertebrate that walks on six legs and uses two modified front legs as feelers. It uses large fang-like pedipalps, or pincers, to grasp invertebrate prey and crunch it into pieces before sucking out the juices.

The genus was first described in 1992 by M.S. Harvey of the Western Australian Museum, based on his earlier description of Schizomus vinei (Draculoides vinei).

A second species was described in 1995, Draculoides bramstokeri, based on specimens found at Barrow Island, Western Australia; the specific epithet honours Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. The allusion to this fictional character, a vampire, in the name of the genus is given for the method of consuming its prey.

Species 
, the World Schizomida Catalog accepts the following six species:

 Draculoides bramstokeri Harvey & Humphreys, 1995 – Australia (Western Australia)
 Draculoides brooksi Harvey, 2001 – Australia (Western Australia)
 Draculoides julianneae Harvey, 2001 – Australia (Western Australia)
 Draculoides mesozeirus Harvey, Berry, Edward & Humphreys, 2008 – Australia (Western Australia)
 Draculoides neoanthropus Harvey, Berry, Edward & Humphreys, 2008 – Australia (Western Australia)
 Draculoides vinei (Harvey, 1988) – Australia (Western Australia)

Alfred Charles Seabrook (5 April 1867 – 11 June 1939) was an Australian politician. He was a Nationalist member of the Australian House of Representatives for Franklin from 1922 to 1928 and a United Australia Party member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly for Franklin from 1931 to 1934.

Seabrook was born in Hobart and was educated at Scotch College, Hobart. He initially followed his father into the building and contracting trade before entering into partnership in a produce and general merchant business, Seabrook and Neale, until it was dissolved in 1923. He was a long-standing member of the committee of the National Federation.

In 1922, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Nationalist member for Franklin, defeating Nationalist-turned-Country Party MP and inaugural leader of the Country Party William McWilliams. He held the seat until his defeat by McWilliams, running as an independent, in 1928.

He subsequently operated his own business as a fruit agent, A. C. Seabrook Pty Ltd.

In 1931, he was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly as a United Australia Party member for Franklin, but was defeated in 1934. He contested the Australian Senate as an independent at the 1934 federal election and changed his surname to "Ceabrook" to appear higher on the ballot paper, but was not successful. He had initially declared his candidacy as part of a self-proclaimed "Country Party" ticket, but they were disowned by the party and he continued his campaign as an independent.

Outside politics, Seabrook was a talented Australian rules footballer in his youth. Nicknamed 'Wobbler', he was a member of the first Tasmanian team to visit Victoria in 1887.

Seabrook died at Hobart in 1939.

The Vieques City Hall (Spanish: Casa Alcaldía de Vieques), also known as the Vieques Municipal House (Casa Municipal de Vieques) and formerly known as Casa del Rey, is a historic civic building located in the main town square (plaza pública) of Isabel Segunda, the administrative center and main settlement of the island-municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The formal establishment of a city hall and a town plaza in Isabel Segunda, the largest town of the island of Vieques happened as the result of a widespread reform in civic and social developments around Cuba and Puerto Rico during the mid 19th-century, then the two last remaining Spanish colonies in the Caribbean. The project was designed by civil engineer Francisco M. Belgodere in 1843, with support of the then Spanish governor Francisco Sainz. Construction of a cabildo and civic center, then referred to as a Casa del Rey (Spanish for 'king's house'), began in 1850 using primarily a vernacular style popular in civic buildings at the time that incorporated elements of Spanish Colonial and Neoclassical architecture. The original structure of the Casa del Rey can still be appreciated today in the northwestern single-story portion of the building. The city hall underwent further additions, including the modern principal two-storey core of the building, that lasted until 1903, under the mayorship of Luis Amadée. The distinctive castellated clock tower was lastly added in 1937. Additional renovations and minor modifications to the roofing were made in 1948.
