Seth Barton (December 5, 1795 – December 29, 1854) was an attorney and government official who was active in Alabama and Louisiana.  He served the federal government as Solicitor of the United States Treasury and Chargé d'affaires in Chile.

Biography
Barton was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1795, the son of shipping merchant Seth Barton and Sarah Emerson (Maxwell) Barton.  He attended Washington and Lee University, where he studied law and attained admission to the bar.

In 1821 he relocated to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he continued to practice law and became involved in the newspaper business.  He apparently served in the militia, in that he was often referred to in correspondence and press accounts as "Colonel", though the exact details of his military service are not currently known.

Barton was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1825.

In 1828 Barton was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States House of Representatives.

Barton moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1830, where he continued to practice law as a partner of Judah P. Benjamin.  In 1843 he ran unsuccessfully for the Louisiana House of Representatives, and in 1844 he supported James K. Polk for President, including writing letters to the editor under the pen name John Randolph of Roanoke.

Polk, as President, rewarded Barton with an appointment as Solicitor of the Treasury, where he served from 1845 to 1847.

Barton served as U.S. Chargé d'affaires in Chile from 1847 to 1849.  While at this post he created controversy by marrying a local woman in a Protestant service.  The leaders of Chile's Catholic Church were angered because as a Protestant and a man who had been divorced, they believed Barton to be violating church tenets by marrying Isabel Astaburruaga, who was Catholic.

After leaving office, Barton resumed practicing law in New Orleans as the partner of Pierre Soulé.  He died of yellow fever in New Orleans on December 29, 1854.

North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) is a state government run transport corporation in West Bengal, India. It plies buses mainly in North Bengal but operates services to other parts of West Bengal and neighboring states like Sikkim, Assam, and Bihar . The corporation runs premium long haul buses as well as local buses. It is one of the most favoured bus operators in West Bengal.

Incidents

 In Early October 2021, a NBSTC bus rammed into a standing truck in Murshidabad, killing 3 people and leaving 10 injured. Later the police concluded that the bus driver could not estimate that the truck was motionless and this caused the fatal crash.
 An incident took place in Alipurduar in October 2020, where a car collided with a NBSTC bus leaving 5 dead and 6 injured. As per police reports, both the vehicles were speeding when the accident took place. The car collided with the bus when it was in a sharp turn with high speed.
 A NBSTC bus fell into a deep canal in January 2018 killing 36 people. This incident occurred in Murshidabad. Few survivors claim that it was the driver's fault as he was speaking over his phone while driving.

The Edward Jenner Medal is awarded occasionally by the Royal Society of Medicine to individuals who have undertaken distinguished work in epidemiological research.

The award was founded in 1896 by the Epidemiological Society of London (1850–1907) to commemorate the centenary of Edward Jenner’s discovery of a means of smallpox vaccination. The Epidemiological Society became a founder member of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1907.

The medal was designed in Bronze by Allan Wyon. It features Jenner’s face on one aspect and the symbol of the Epidemiological Society, the Earth, on the reverse. The medal was re-cast following the evolution of the Society into the Section of Epidemiology at the RSM in 1907.  Photographs of the medal may be found in The History of the Royal Society of Medicine  published in 2001.

Ytre Rendal is a former municipality in the old Hedmark county, Norway. The  municipality existed from 1880 until its dissolution in 1965 when it was merged with the neighboring municipality of Øvre Rendal to form the new Rendalen Municipality. The administrative centre was the village of Otnes where Ytre Rendal Church is located.

History
On 1 January 1838, the large municipality of Rendal was established. This municipality spanned  from the Østerdalen valley to the border with Sweden. During the 1870s, discussions began on dividing the large municipality. On 1 January 1880, the municipality of Rendal was split in two to create the municipalities of Ytre Rendal (population: 1,661) and Øvre Rendal (population: 1,868). The new municipality of Ytre Rendal had an area of . On 1 January 1911, the new municipality of Engerdal was established to the east of Ytre Rendal. This new municipality was created by taking  of eastern Ytre Rendal, plus area from the neighboring municipalities of Øvre Rendal, Tolga, and Trysil. This portion of Ytre Rendal that became part of Engerdal had 311 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the new municipality of Rendalen was created by merging Ytre Rendal (population: 1,913) and Øvre Rendal (population: 1,629).

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Rendalen valley (). In 1880, the large municipality of Rendal was divided to create two new municipalities. Both municipalities were named after the old municipality and to distinguish between the two, an additional word was added to the name. The word  was added to this name and the word  was added to the other municipality. The word  means "outer" (while  means "upper"). The first element of Rendal is  which means "reindeer". The last element is  which means "valley" or "dale". The river Rena runs through the valley and it is not known if the valley was named after the river or if the river was named after the valley. A nearby mountain Renafjellet also has a similar name.

Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Ytre Rendal was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
