Blurred is a play by Stephen Davis that focuses on schoolies week. It was written for young actors and first produced at Brisbane Festival Hall in 1999 for STAGE X as part of an initiative by the Queensland Performing Arts Trust. It was later turned into Blurred, a 2002 Australian film.

Synopsis
Blurred is a one-act play that contains social comment and black comedy. The audience is faced with the brutal truth of Schoolies Week celebrations. While it raises continual laughter there is a sinister, threatening underlying beat. Between an opening and closing scene of a couple of old-hand predators, the action follows the journeys of several students to the Gold Coast, Queensland. The audience experience this rite of passage that has become a tradition for Australian school-leavers.

Murphy Radio was a British manufacturer of radios and televisions based in Welwyn Garden City, England.

Murphy Radio was founded in 1929 by Frank Murphy and E.J. Power as a volume manufacturer of home radio sets. Its factories were in the Hertfordshire town of Welwyn Garden City, England, starting with fewer than 100 employees. Murphy also had a manufacturing facility in Islandbridge, Dublin, Ireland.

The company played an important role during World War II, designing and manufacturing radio sets for British Armed Forces use, chiefly the Wireless Set No. 38. After the war, Murphy used its military experience to design and build sets for Naval use, principally the 'B40' series for the British Commonwealth Navies. The company also produced the Larkspur era A41 VHF manpack transceiver for the British Army during the 1950s.

Murphy himself left the company during 1937 and went on to found another company called, perhaps unwisely, 'FM Radio'. He died aged 65, in 1955.
 
Although the company became well known for the manufacture of television sets, it was eventually amalgamated with Bush Radio in 1962. The brand 'Murphy' has survived, but as a licensee for Far Eastern electronics.

In 2012, the brand gained wide attention in India due to the movie Barfi!. A vintage Murphy radio also appears in the opening of the 2012 film Life of Pi.

Lakkoju Sanjeevaraya Sarma () (27 November 1907 – 2 December 1998) was an Indian mathematician. He gave many mathematical Avadhanams (Ganitavadhanams), educated people and surprised the elite.

Early life

Lakkoju Sanjeevaraya Sarma was born at Kalluru village of Proddatur mandal in Kadapa district. His parents were Lakkoju Pedda Pullayya and Nagamamba. He was born blind and had no formal education. He married Adilakshmamma at 19. He learnt mathematics when his sister recited what she learnt at school at home.

Career 
Sarma gave his first performance at Andhra Mahasabha at Nandyala on 15 November 1928, chaired by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was invited to New Delhi by Jawaharlal Nehru and performed before President Rajendra Prasad along with other dignitaries. He traveled widely and gave about 7,000 performances in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Delhi. One of his most memorable performances was on 7 December 1966 at Sri Krishna Devaraya Andhra Bhasha Nilayam. He received many gold medals, honors and felicitations.

Sarma prepared an Indian Calendar extending 4,000 years.

Sarma was invited to visit the United States in 1993 by the Telugu community. He could not attend due to visa problems. Sri Venkateswara University honored him with a doctorate in 1996.

Sanjeeva Raya Sarma was poor. Capt.Dr.Mohan Rao of Rajampet introduced him to Pundit Nehru, who arranged a monthly sustenance of 300 until his death. He played the violin every evening at Sri Kalahasthiswara temple for an honorarium from the Devasthanam authorities. In 1998 the "Ganitha Brahma" died at the feet of SriKaalaHastheeswara. Sanjeevaraya Sarma and his wife were invited to Rajampeta (Kadapa Dist.) in 1960 by Capt. Dr. Mohana Rao Varanasi to give a performance at Govt.High School. The highlights were answering mathematical problems by playing his Violin along with songs like "భరీయింప జాలనీ బ్లాకుమార్కెట్టూ భారతీయులారా ..." (Very difficult to get on with black market). Later, impressed by his talent, Dr. Mohan Rao introduced Sanjeevaraya to many other Schools and Colleges for performances, and also to help him financially with performance-fee.

His unique feat was giving the exact number of Paddy seeds that can be arranged in doubling progression from one to 17 zillion millions on 64 squares of a Chess Board. He could spontaneously reveal the Day, Tidhi and Zodiac of any given date in the calendar.

Born blind, he never went to any school but learnt numbers and imagined their compounded shapes to spontaneously give a solution to any problem, faster than the Computer. Ms.Shakunthala Devi, the Mathematical Wizard also praised his enviable acumen.

Northaw is a village in the Welwyn Hatfield district of Hertfordshire, England. It is part of the civil parish of Northaw and Cuffley (where at the 2011 Census the population was included), which was originally known as Northaw.

The parish had a population of 5,190 according to the 2001 census, most of whom live in Cuffley. It formed part of the Metropolitan Police District until 2000. The village has a population of around 590 people.

Northaw Church of England Primary School was founded in 1879 and the trust deed, which is the school's Christian foundation, remains integral to the ethos and beliefs of the school community. The school is a Voluntary Aided School and is part of the family of the Diocese of St Albans.

The parish church of Thomas à Becket is Grade II listed. Built in 1881, by C. Kirk and Son of Sleaford, replacing church of 1809. The north aisle was added in 1887, with choir and vestry added in 1893. The church has complete and original stained glass. The east window is signed Ward Hughes 1882, the west window Ward & Hughes 1887 and the three north aisle windows c. 1895 are by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.

A Northaw ex-resident was former cabinet minister Cecil Parkinson.

The manor of Northaw was held by St Albans Abbey in the Middle Ages. Following the abbey's dissolution in 1539, it was held by William Cavendish, with his first wife Elizabeth Parys and his second wife Bess of Hardwick. The manor house became known as "Nyn Hall", "Ninn Hall", "Nyn House" or "North Hall". It was rebuilt in the 16th century, although the exact date remains unclear: according to John Stow, writing in about 1600, it was rebuilt by Cavendish before 1552; but according to John Norden in 1598, the builder was a later owner, Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, some time after 1576. The house was demolished in 1774 and the replacement Northaw House was built on a different site.

Villa Porto is an unfinished patrician villa in Molina di Malo, Province of Vicenza, northern Italy, designed by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in 1570.

History

The ten brick-column shafts that dominate the great 15th century  farmyard of the Porto family at Molina mark the first stage of a grandiose project conceived by Palladio on behalf of Iseppo (Giuseppe) Porto: in fact, the patron’s name is inscribed on the plinths of the splendid stone column bases, next to the date 1572.

The rich protagonist of one of Vicenza’s most important families, and brother-in-law of both Adriano and Marcantonio Thiene (patrons of the homonymous palace by Palladio), Iseppo Porto already owned a grandiose city palace, which Palladio had designed him over twenty years earlier, Palazzo Porto.

Archival documents show that the enormous columns are not the fragments of a monumental barchessa, like that for the Villa Pisani at Bagnolo, but rather of the façade of a true and proper country residence. The large Corinthian colonnade, a direct quotation from the pronaos of the Pantheon, would have reached an overall height of over thirteen metres. Lower porticoes, on a quarter-circle plan and still visible in the 19th century, would have tied the manorial house to agricultural annexes to left and right.

This edifice recalls two other projects by Palladio, the Villa Mocenigo on the Brenta and the Villa Thiene at Cicogna, neither of which was ever executed though both are documented by various autograph sketches and were included in the I quattro libri dell'architettura. In publishing Giuseppe Porto’s city palace in the Quattro libri, Palladio enriched the original project with a courtyard of a giant Composite order extremely close to that of the villa at Molina. Giuseppe’s death in 1580 put an end to the building works, which were never completed.

Robert Harris McCarter (April 28, 1859 – May 30, 1941) was an American lawyer who served as the Attorney General of New Jersey from 1903 until 1908, succeeding his brother Thomas N. McCarter.

McCarter was born in Newton, New Jersey, in 1859 to Thomas Nesbitt and Mary Louisa (Haggerty) McCarter. He attended the Pingry School and Newark Academy before entering Princeton University, where he graduated in 1879. He studied at Columbia Law School, receiving his diploma in 1882, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar that same year.

McCarter and his brother joined the law firm of their father, which had been established in Newton in 1845 and moved to Newark twenty years later. The firm was known as McCarter & Keen until the two younger McCarters, along with their brother-in-law Edwin B. Williamson, became partners, after which time it was known as McCarter, Williamson & McCarter.

McCarter's brother Thomas served Attorney General of New Jersey from 1902 to 1903, resigning to become president of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey. Governor Franklin Murphy nominated McCarter to take his brother's spot, and he was confirmed as Attorney General on May 5, 1903. He served for a term of five years.

After his tenure as Attorney General he returned to his Newark law practice, which became known as McCarter & English in 1906 after the death of Edwin B. Williamson and the promotion of Conover English to partner. Though he mostly took on corporate clients, he served as the defense attorney for one of New Jersey's most sensational criminal cases, the Hall-Mills Murder trial of 1926. Edward Wheeler Hall, a New Brunswick Episcopal priest, and Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, had been murdered, and McCarter defended the priest's wife and her brothers at trial. He managed to win acquittals for all three defendants.

McCarter served as president of the New Jersey State Bar Association. He was counsel to Lester H. Clee in his 1937 campaign for Governor of New Jersey against A. Harry Moore. In 1938 he served as counsel for a committee investigating election irregularities in Hudson County at a time when political boss Frank Hague held a tight grip on the county's electoral process.

McCarter died of a heart attack on May 30, 1941, at his home in Rumson at the age of 82.

The Apothecaries Act 1815 (55 Geo. 3. c. 194) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom with the long title "An Act for better regulating the Practice of Apothecaries throughout England and Wales". The Act introduced compulsory apprenticeship and formal qualifications for apothecaries, in modern terms general practitioners, under the license of the Society of Apothecaries. It was the beginning of regulation of the medical profession in the UK. The Act required instruction in anatomy, botany, chemistry, materia medica and "physic", in addition to six months' practical hospital experience.

Despite the Act, training of medical people in Britain remained disparate. Thomas Bonner, in part quoting M. Jeanne Peterson, notes that "The training of a practitioner in Britain in 1830 could vary all the way from classical university study at Oxford and Cambridge to a series of courses in a provincial hospital to 'broom-and-apron apprenticeship in an apothecary's shop'".
