Sir Robert Corbet, 4th Baronet (c.1670 – 3 October 1740), of Stoke, Shropshire, was an English Whig politician who sat in the English and British House of Commons between 1705 and 1722, and was an official in the Royal Household.

Corbet was the only surviving son of Sir John Corbet, 3rd Baronet  of Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire. He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 6 July 1687, aged 17 and was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1688. He succeeded to the baronetcy in 1695.

Corbet was appointed High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1700–01 and was then elected to Parliament at the 1705 English general election to represent the county of Shropshire until 1710. He was reelected for Shropshire again in 1715, sitting until 1722. He was a loyal Whig and was rewarded for his party loyalty with the position of Clerk of the Green Cloth in the Royal household, a position he held, progressing from Third Clerk to First Clerk, until 1735.

In that year he gave up the position in the Royal household to make way for a current Member of Parliament and was made instead a Commissioner of Customs until his death.

Corbet died in 1740. He had married Jane, the daughter of William Hooker, with whom he had 3 sons and 3 daughters. The baronetcy passed to his eldest son Sir William Corbet, 5th Baronet.

Emile Joseph Kahn (born 21 December 1876 in Paris – died on 21 January 1958 in Montpellier) was the president of the Human Rights League (France) from 1953 to 1958.

Biography 
Secretary-General of the League of Human Rights from 1932 to 1953, Emile Kahn became its president in 1953 and remained so until his death in 1958. In the 1930s, he was a sincere supporter of the Popular Front.  He was violently hostile to the global rejection of colonization and the possibility of some self-determination for indigenous peoples, on the contrary, he thinks it is the duty of the colonial powers to civilize the natives until they are able to exercise their human rights..

In 1957, he published The League's fight for democracy, in which he expressed his political ideas and his fight for human rights.

His wife, Suzanne Collette-Kahn (1884-1975), an associate Professor of German, was vice-president of the League of Human Rights and Secretary-General of the International Federation for Human Rights.

Quote 

"The League of Human Rights remains attached to this idea that men enlisted under the flag are citizens and they may be asked to choose between two tasks: that of obeying their leaders or acting against them, the Constitution and the Republic "13 (May 1935)

Pekan Gurney or Gurney's Town is a small town in Manjung District, Perak, Malaysia. The town was founded in 1952 and named after Sir Henry Gurney, a former British High Commissioner in Malaya

History

This Chinese settlement began in the early 1900s with mainly Fuzhounese (Foochow) migrants. There was a small presence of Hinghwas and Indians. They were mainly rubber tappers, pig farmers and paddy planters. This place which originally known Simpang Tiga because it's the third junction leading towards the Sungei Wangi Estate. There is a cross road in the heart of the settlement, a through road from Simpang Dua leading through to Simpang Lima. The other cross road had led to Sungei Wangi Estate on one end and to another abandoned settlement on the other end.

During the Japanese occupation, many residents fled into the jungle, farming, fishing and hunting to provide food for their families. A number of these people provided opposition to the Japanese and many were hunted down, taken away, never to return.

After the Japanese occupation, many moved back into the settlement. Most of the residents were sympathetic to the Kuomintang. A number of the local leaders, Ding Lean Kea, Ting Toh Ming were murdered by Malayan Communist Party (MCP). Early one morning around 2 am, 1950, a band of MCP members surrounded the commercial area, comprising mainly shops, shot in the air and threw lighted gunny sacks soaked in kerosene on to the roofs of these shops razing the shops to the ground within hours. This was the MCP punishment for their non cooperation to the MCP's cause. However, it could be argued that the settlers had very little left to spare after the Japanese occupation. The Japanese "Banana" currency was declared worthless immediately after the Japanese surrender. The one hourly bus service to Kampong Koh was disrupted when the bus was burnt. A private taxi was shot. Rubber trees were slashed. The MCP has also used "soft" tactics. Members would approach rubber tappers individually trying gentle persuasion to get them on their side.

In 1952, British Military Administration tore down all houses and shelters in the area and resettled the population in a barbed wired area about  away. This was part of the Briggs Plan to starve the MCP into surrender. The new town was named Pekan Gurney in honour of Henry Gurney, the British High Commissioner.

It had two Chinese schools for a short while. Unfortunately, one of the schools which fell outside of the fenced area had to close. All its students and staff were moved into San Ming Primary school.

The township has two churches, a Methodist and the Church of Dindings. Taoism is also present. Every year, the hungry ghost festival is celebrated on a grand scale with Chinese operas, fire walking etc. When numbers betting came into vogue, there were at least one medium in active service.

Myauk Pyinthe (, ; lit. "Queen of the Northern Palace") was the second Queen of the Northern Palace of King Sithu II of the Pagan Dynasty of Myanmar (Burma).

The name Myauk Pyinthe was the name of the office, meaning "Queen of the Northern Palace". Royal chronicles do not agree on who succeeded the first North Queen Saw Lat. Yazawin Thit (1798) states that the second North Queen was a great-granddaughter of Gen. Nyaung-U Hpi, a friend and comrade of King Kyansittha, who according to Maha Yazawin (1724) and Hmannan Yazawin (1832) was the Queen of the Southern Palace. Instead Maha Yazawin and Hmannan list Pan Yin as the second ranked (North) queen. Yazawin Thit lists Pan Yin as the fourth ranked (West) queen.

All three chronicles agree that the great-granddaughter of Nyaung-U Hpi had three sons, and that Pan Yin had a son.

"About a Quarter to Nine" is a popular song written by Al Dubin and Harry Warren and published in 1935 by M. Witmark & Son, New York.

Background
The songwriting partnership of Dubin and Warren wrote "About a Quarter to Nine" for the 1935 musical film Go into Your Dance, directed by Archie L. Mayo and starring Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler. In the film the song is introduced by Jolson. This song and the satirical song "She's a Latin from Manhattan" were the most successful songs from the movie.

The song was used again in the 1946 film of Jolson's life,  The Jolson Story. Jolson made a commercial recording of the song for the first time on June 18, 1947, for Decca Records.

Later cover versions
Among the musicians who successfully covered the song in the US in 1935 were Johnny Green and his Orchestra (with Jimmy Farrell on vocals), Columbia 3029), Victor Young and His Orchestra (vocal by Hal Burke), and Ozzie Nelson (1935, Brunswick). Later versions were recorded by J. Lawrence Cook, Wingy Manone, Claude Hopkins, and Ambassador Ambrose. A version by Bobby Darin was included in the CD Aces Back to Back (2004).

The Electric Prunes covered the song on their 1967 album The Electric Prunes.

In 1980 the song was used in the musical 42nd Street. In 1982 the song was covered by Peter Skellern on his album A String of Pearls, which made No. 67 in the UK Albums Chart.

In 2015 discographer Tom Lord listed a total of 21 cover versions, in the area of jazz, including Mavis Rivers / Nelson Riddle (1959), Red Norvo (1962, with Mavis Rivers and Ella Mae Morse), Rod Levitt (RCA, 1966), Susannah McCorkle (on The Music of Harry Warren, 1976) and Dave McKenna (Concord, 1981).

Baikiaea plurijuga, known as African teak, Mukusi, Rhodesian teak, Zambian teak or Zambesi redwood, is a species of Afrotropical tree from the legume family, the Fabaceae from southern Africa.

Description
Baikiaea plurijuga is a medium-sized deciduous tree with pinnate leaves each with 4-5 pairs of opposed leaflets. They show pink to deep mauve flowers have yellow stamens and are clustered in large axillary racemes; it flowers from November to April. The fruit are flattened, woody pods with a hooked tip which splits explosively sending the seeds out over some distance.

Habitat
Baikiaea plurijuga is confined to the Kalahari sands  and the woodland which it dominates is known as Gusu woodland. This woodland grows on the deep, aeolian and fluvial Kalahari Sands which have virtually no clay or silt. These sands provide exceptional growing conditions for deep-rooting trees, but the deficiency in clay restricts tree growth to sites holding nutrients in the form of organic matter.

Distribution
Baikiaea plurijuga occurs in southern Angola, northern Botswana, northern Namibia, southern Zambia and northern Zimbabwe.

Uses
The wood of Baikiaea plurijuga forms a dense hardwood which makes it a difficult wood to work, but it is valued for its termite resistance and resistance to rot, is used for railway sleepers, in construction and for furniture making. Extensive teak forests in some parts of its range (e.g. in Sesheke District, Zambia) have been over-exploited by the commercial timber industry. However, Baikiaea plurijuga is not listed in the CITES Appendices.

Conservation
Baikiaea plurijuga is classified as Near Threatened because its forests have been and considerably reduced as a result of high levels of logging over the last half century. Older, mature trees are also scarce. However, the species geographic range has only diminished by a fraction as the species has the ability to regenerate readily in modified habitats and it tolerates coppicing very well. It is legally protected in Namibia.

Alibi is the third studio album by Dutch hard rock band Vandenberg, released on 29 August 1985 by Atco Records. This was Vandenberg's final studio album for 35 years until their reunion in 2020.

Background 
It was recorded in the Netherlands for the first time on a Vandenberg album. Following the previous album, Adrian Vandenberg painted cover art, and in 2007, 75 artwork graphs of this work were released in commemoration of Adrian's individual painting exhibition, Stuck Between Rock and an Art Place, in Antwerp.

Bert Heerink has since emphasized vocals in Alibi regarding the sound production of this work. The two early albums say that for me, the production of the opening of the song seems to be emphasized.

Cover art 
The cover art featured Mexican Maya civilization and crocodiles from the ground in the red sunset. Like its predecessor, its artwork was created by guitarist Adrian Vandenberg himself.
