The Kent County Courthouse, now the East Greenwich Town Hall, is a historic court building at 127 Main Street in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

Kent County was set off from Providence County in 1750. The same year, a courthouse was constructed in East Greenwich, then the largest town in the new county. By 1799 the courthouse was too small, and the state legislature appointed a committee for the construction of a new building. The old building was sold and dismantled, and a new courthouse built on the site in 1804–05. It was designed and built by Revolutionary war veteran and contractor Oliver Wickes.

Rhode Island had an unusual "rotating legislature" from 1759 to 1901. In order to keep state government local, the legislature occupied each county seat on a rotating schedule. In 1854, only the buildings in Providence and Newport were used. In 1901, when the new Rhode Island State House was first occupied, Providence became the state capitol, and the buildings in Bristol, South Kingstown, and East Greenwich were turned over to the counties.

By the early twentieth century, the courthouse was in need of modernization. In 1908 the Providence architectural firm of William R. Walker & Son was hired to renovate the structure. However, as soon as work had begun, it was revealed that the building's structural integrity had been compromised over the years. The courthouse was gutted and the interior was completely rebuilt in the Colonial Revival manner. The work was completed in 1909.

In 1974, a new courthouse was built in Warwick. The building in East Greenwich was repurposed as the East Greenwich Town Hall, replacing the old shingle-style town hall, formerly a block north on Main Street. The probate court continues to meet in the building, making it the oldest active courthouse in the state.

John Jeshua Kettler (also written Kotelar, Kessler, or Ketelaar) (1659–1718), was a Dutch-speaking European born in German-speaking Poland. He came to Surat, India for business. He traveled from Surat to Delhi, Agra and Lahore. He learned Hindi and wrote Hindustani grammar in Dutch.

Biography
John was born on December 25,1659. His father was a bookbinder and he wanted John to follow him. He was a Lutheran by religion.

In 1680, Joan was accused of stealing from the master with whom he was serving his apprenticeship. And in order to save his reputation, Joan poisoned his master as well as his master's guest (though unintentionally) by mixing arsenic in their beer, but a doctor was able to save them. Due to this, Joan was forced to flee to Danzig, where he stayed with another bookbinder. However a few days later he stole the bookbinder’s money with which he fled to Stockholm.

In 1682, Joan registered with the Dutch East India Company in Amsterdam under the name Ketelaar. A year later, he had made his way to Surat via Batavia, where he made a name for himself. He rose through ranks quickly as in 1687, he was promoted to position of assistant and in 1696 to that of accountant. He then became deputy head of the trading post in Ahmedabad after which in 1700 he became head of the trading post in Agra.

At age 42, he became a junior merchant. In 1706, Ketelaar completed a mission of purchasing coffee from Arabia successfully. He had a fierce encounter with a French pirate from which he was able to escape while he was returning to Batavia. He was promoted to merchant as a reward. He gradually became the key figure in Suum Cuique, a literary society where members would sometimes write odes to one another.

He was accredited to Bahadur Shah (1708-1712) and Jahandar Shah (1712) as Dutch envoy. In 1711 he became the Dutch East India Company's Director of Trade at Surat. He was then appointed as an envoy to Persia, and left Batavia in July 1716. He died of fever at Gambroon on the Persian Gulf on his return from Isfahan, after having been two days under arrest, because he would not order a Dutch ship to act under the Persian Governor's orders against some Arab invaders.

He started recording Hindustani Grammar in his "Lingua hindostanica" which is presumed to be completed in 1715 and he was the first one to do so. He had probably penned the grammar during his stay in Agra or Lucknow between 1696 and 1697. This Dutch manuscript was copied by Isaac Van Der Hoeve in 1698. It was partially translated into Latin by David Mill. His work was published by David Mills in 1743. The Latin version of this book was published in 1743 in Leiden, Holland. The complete work was never published and until 1935, it was considered to have been lost. Experts found out rather than being Hindi grammar, it was dominantly Urdu grammar. His notes have been preserved in three manuscripts. The most complete manuscript is kept at Utrecht University Library. A copy is available in the National Library of India.

A by-election was held in the Nukufetau constituency in Tuvalu as the consequence of the appointment of the opposition member of parliament Faimalaga Luka as the Governor-General of Tuvalu.

Context
During his term as Prime Minister of Tuvalu, Saufatu Sopoanga experienced a shifting alliance of MPs who supported him, and there was also an opposition group against him. Both Sapoanga's group and the opposition group were plagued by defections; a series of by-elections also created uncertainty as to which side would emerge with a parliamentary majority.

The Sopoanga government lost its majority in May 2003, following the results of the 2003 Nanumea by-election and the 2003 Niutao by-election.  Amasone Kilei, the leader of the opposition, wrote to Sir Tomasi Puapua, the governor-general, on 10 May 2003 advising that he commanded the support of a majority of the members of parliament and they were ready to form a government.  The leader of the opposition also commenced legal proceedings in the High Court of Tuvalu.

Eventually Saufatu Sopoanga recalled parliament to meet in September 2003. On 9 September Sopoanga arranged to appointed opposition MP Faimalaga Luka as governor general to follow Sir Tomasi Puapua. This appointment deprived the opposition of its crucial one-seat majority and triggering the Nukufetau by-election.

Result
The winner of the October by-election, Elisala Pita, joined the government's benches, enabling it to survive into 2004.
The survival of the Sopoanga government has been described as resulting from his dexterous handling of the distribution of ministerial and other appointments.

Kirkby High School is a Knowsley based co-educational secondary school educating pupils aged 11–16 years of age in the Kirkby area of Merseyside, England.

History 
Previously known as 'Brookfield High School', in 2008 the school was merged with Ruffwood School to form 'Kirkby Sports College Centre for Learning' on the site of Brookfield. The school was completely rebuilt under the Building Schools for the Future programme. In September 2013 the school converted to academy status and was renamed Kirkby High School.

Kirkby High School is in the borough of Knowsley which had been singled out by the government for the poor achievement of their students on the assessment targets the government preferred. Kirkby has served their students, who were from a largely disadvantaged, white working class community by entering them for the more vocationally targeted BTEC qualification. In 2013, the government 'reformed' the target. Only academic subjects examined in an end-of-course exam would count. In 2011, Kirkby High School achieved a respectable 41% (5 A to Cs) that wouldn't happen in 2015: 24% achieved the new government benchmark of five GCSEs with English and maths at A* to C.

The school was visited by Ofsted in June 2015 and graded as level 3, which would have been Satisfactory, but is now spoken of as Required Improvement. The results came in August 2015.
After two Section 8 monitoring inspections the school had a full inspection in 2017, where it was deemed as 'inadequate' and put back in special measures.

The school was released from special measures in December 2018, when Ofsted described it as a changed school.

Academics
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography.
 
In Key Stage 3, students are setted by ability in the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Science, Geography, History, RE, and Physical Education. Personal Development, Art, Computing, Drama, Music, and Technology are taught in mixed ability classes.

In Key Stage 4, students continue with a core curriculum of Mathematics GCSE, English Language and literature (worth 2 GCSEs) and the Science Trilogy or Triple Award (worth up to 3 GCSEs). They also have three options chosen from History, Geography, Spanish,  Food and Nutrition, Design Technology, Computer Science, Travel and Tourism, Sports Studies, Textiles, Art and Design, Music, Dance, Drama, Childcare and Religious Studies.

The Zhi-Yan dialect () is a dialect of Jin Chinese spoken within much of Yan'an, Shaanxi, China. The dialect is spoken throughout Baota District, Zhidan County, and Yanchuan County.

Located in a transition zone between the Jin Chinese of northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, the Zhi-Yan dialect shows some transitional characteristics in both tones and vocabulary. With the exception of the checked tone, the tones between the Zhi-Yan dialect and the nearby  are the same. Among ancient checked tone syllables, only fully voiced consonants still retain the checked tone, while clear and sub-voiced syllables are spoken with a high tone (). Most tones are similar to those spoken in Guanzhong. The Zhi-Yan dialect retains checked tones found in northern Shaanxi Jin, but not the checked tones found in Central Plains Mandarin.

The Zhi-Yan dialect was heavily influences by a mass migration of people from nearby Yulin, who moved to Yan'an en masse in the 1930s after a famine struck Yulin. As such, Zhi-Yan speakers descended from those who migrated from Yulin retain characteristics not found in other Zhi-Yan speakers, who share more characteristics with people from Guanzhong.

The Zhi-Yan dialect is spoken in Baota District, Zhidan County and Yanchuan County.

Orthogonium is a genus of Ediacaran fauna approximately 550-530 million years old. Because of its taphonomy and likeness to other Ediacaran fauna, and as well as to crinoids, paleontologists dispute its classification.

Description 
The fossil consists of 8 parallel rows of tubes, which are square in cross-section, lying parallel to bedding. These tubes are divided into sections, the longest preserved tube is 58 mm long with 28, mesh-like sections, each of which is 2 mm high and 3 mm wide. Each section is separated from adjacent sections by a defined groove. These square section tubes may represent original pneu structures that did not collapse during fossilization and were filled with sediment, preserving the three-dimensional form of the structure.

The fossil resembles several others, particularly Ectenocrinus simplex. This comparison was made by Gürich, who compared the tubes to the likeness of the arms of the crinoids. Mikhail Fedonkin, classified O. parallelum as a quilted petalonam because of its unique preservation. “They resemble sand-filled rocks which were composed of several tubes, often constricted midway by a prominent surface, but what these structures represent is uncertain.” J. John Sepkoski classified Orthogonium as a member of the subphylum Medusae with sister taxa including Bonata, Inaria, and Bronicella.

Diversity 
Only one species is known to exist, Orthogonium parallelum.

Discovery 
The fossil was discovered in 1930 by Georg Gürich on Farm Kuibis in the Namibian foreland basin.

Distribution 
Within the formation, alluvial plain deposition grades into sandstones which originated from channels and deltas along a shoreline. The overlying shales in the formation were deposited offshore, and the mud cracks, clasts, and gypsum characterizing the area indicate a tidal deposition. The formation has been dated to 530±10 Mya through K-Ar radiometric dating.

Ecology 
As there is no consensus as to the classification of Orthogonium, and as opinions range from crinoid to jellyfish, there is no way to describe the habits of this taxon.

The Wagner–Rogers Bill was proposed United States legislation which would have increased the quota of immigrants by bringing a total of 20,000 Jewish children (there were no sectarian criteria) under the age of 14 (10,000 in 1939, and another 10,000 in 1940) to the United States from Nazi Germany.  

The bill was sponsored by Senator Robert F. Wagner (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Edith Rogers (R-Mass.) in the wake of the 1938 Kristallnacht attacks on Jews in Germany. The bill was introduced to Congress on February 9, 1939.

The bill had widespread support among religious and labor groups, but was opposed by nationalist organizations and Senator Robert Rice Reynolds threatened to filibuster against it. President Franklin D. Roosevelt supported the bill, but believed that he lacked the wherewithal to overcome congressional resistance. His wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, also expressed support for the bill.

A poll by the American Friends Service Committee found that thirty-five senators were "in favor" of the bill and thirty-four "probably in favor". These votes may have sufficed for the bill to pass, but a filibuster would have likely caused problems. Nevertheless, the House Immigration Committee never reported the bill out; eleven members were said to be opposed and eight in favor. Historian Richard Breitman argues that, in addition to general anti-immigration sentiment, anti-semitism also played a substantial role in the bill's defeat.
