The first election to West Glamorgan County Council and was held in April 1973. It was followed by the 1977 election.

The new authority came into effect from 1 April 1974 following the division of the former Glamorgan County Council into three new authorities.

Candidates

A feature of the election was that the new authority replaced both the existing Glamorgan County Council and the Swansea County Borough Council. In addition, the number of borough and district councils within the new county was reduced to four, namely Swansea City Council, Afan Borough Council, Lliw Valley Borough Council and Neath Borough Council. In many cases members of the former authorities found themselves competing for a reduced number of seats.   

The Labour Party fielded candidates in every ward. A significant proportion of seats were contested by the Conservative Party and Plaid Cymru with fewer candidates fielded by the Liberal Party.

In the Port Talbot area, Lord Heycock was returned unopposed but other Labour candidates faced opposition from Ratepayers and Tenant Association candidates. At Cwmavon, Alderman Mel John, serving mayor of the borough, contested the seat as a Progressive Labour candidate having failed to gain the official nomination.

Outcome
Labour won a decisive victory, winning support across the new county. 

In the Neath area, Labour won eleven of the thirteen seats. The only successful candidates from other parties were Martin Thomas (Independent) at Coedffranc, who served on the former Glamorgan County Council and Huw Evans (Plaid Cymru), at Dulais Higher and Crynant. Evans was the prospective Plaid Cymru parliamentary candidate for the Neath constituency.

Labour also won most of the seats in the Port Talbot area but suffered some defeats at the hands of Ratepayer candidates. At Cwmavon, a sitting member of Glamorgan County Council was defeated by Mel John, who had failed to win the party nomination.

Andrea Celestini or Celestino (1773 – 1830s) was an Italian painter, active in a Neoclassical style.

Biography
He was born in Naples. Details of his training and specific works are scant. In 1819, along with the fellow painters Paolo Girgenti and Costanzo Angelini, he was commissioned to create an inventory of the paintings at the Royal Art Gallery (Pinacoteca) in Naples, which would form the core of the collections of the Capodimonte Museum. By 1822 he was an associate member, along with Constanzo Angelini, Antonio Nicolini, and others, of the Royal Bourbon Society (Società Reale Borbonica) of the Fine Arts. In 1823 he successfully competed for the post of professor of painting in the Royal Academy of Design.

Among his works are Christ among the Doctors, Christ of the Charity, Christ of the Innocence. He is described as having a style recalling Titian.

Along with Raffaele Ciappa, Celestino was commissioned by the Bourbon authorities to help develop a method to restore and protect wall frescoes at Pompei.

The U.S. state of Washington has six telephone area codes. The state initially used a single area code (206) until it was divided in 1957 with the creation of area code 509 to serve Eastern Washington. In 1995, 206 was split again to serve just the Puget Sound region after area code 360 was created for the remainder of Western Washington. In 1997, area code 425 was assigned to Seattle's Eastside and South Snohomish County suburbs and area code 253 for the Tacoma area, leaving 206 for just the city of Seattle, closely neighboring cities in King and Snohomish counties, and Bainbridge Island in Kitsap County.

Point Franklin is a piece of land located on the Chukchi Sea side of North Slope, Alaska.

Point Franklin is a few miles north of Wainwright, limiting with the Peard Bay to the east.

Point Franklin was named by British mariner Frederick William Beechey on August 15, 1826, after Lieutenant (afterwards Sir) John Franklin. It is a strange coincidence that he named this cape just two days after Sir John Franklin had named his "farthest point" after Captain Beechey.

Sea otters are a common sight in the waters near Point Franklin. Whales can also be sighted offshore in the point area.

Rescue of 1898
On 26 March 1898, after a 1,500-mile trek in the middle of an Arctic winter, Lt. David Henry Jarvis of the Revenue Cutter Service reaches Point Franklin to begin the rescue of 273 iced-in whalers stranded here and at Point Barrow. He finds the marooned whalers of the Belvedere near the Sea Horse Islands.

Nanna Hoffman (23 May 1843 – 21 June 1920) was a Swedish entrepreneur and piano manufacturer.

Biography 
Nanna Oscara Maria Nicolina Westin was born in Södertälje, Sweden. She was the daughter of landowner Carl Oscar Westin (d. 1850), who owned the , and Thora Johanna Arvidsson. Her father died bankrupt, and both she and her mother made a living as governesses until their marriages. In 1864 she married , owner of a piano factory.

She became the owner and managing director of  ('August Hoffman Piano Factory') in Stockholm after the death of her husband in 1884. Her time as director was a period of great success for the company. When her husband died, the company suffered a loss because until then it had been producing square pianos, which in the 1870s were outcompeted by a new model of piano; the pianino, a small upright piano. On his deathbed, August Hoffman advised Nanna to give up factory production and sell other pianos instead. From 1889, however, she managed to reorganize production and adapt it to the new model of piano through a partnership with the American piano manufacturer William Steinway. She was his agent in Sweden, and in 1889 she persuaded him to allow her to replicate his instruments for the production of Hoffman pianos in Sweden, with the help of his branch in Hamburg. She then made several study trips to update her piano manufacturing techniques.

In 1893, she herself stated that she had achieved a high profit and a high quality of her goods that year, and that this had raised the standard of the piano industry throughout Sweden, which had been very low and close to extinction. She also cites the increased duty on foreign musical instruments as a reason.

She was interviewed in the magazine Idun in 1893, during which she described her difficulties taking over the company: 
"How I worked to learn the profession, which was now to become mine, and how many times I prayed to God that I should succeed! And when my workers, my capable, skillful workers now and then complained about my pickiness, I only replied: "Just thank God that I am thorough, because the existence of both me and you depends on it!" I also had a great help in the fact that I was musical, and was able to understand for myself if an instrument was good or not."

She was given a Royal warrant of appointment in 1912 as the first of her trade in Sweden, stating herself that she had been a purveyor to the royal court of Sweden informally since 1892. She was given the Illis quorum for her contribution to Swedish industry.

Hoffman died 21 June 1920 in Stockholm.

Ali Mohamed Mattar () is a salafist Bahraini MP who represents Asalah in the Chamber of Deputies.

Mattar is one of Asalah's most active MPs, and is seen as carving out a niche for himself in parliamentary life with legislative proposals that have been described by supporters as "bold". In January 2006, he proposed legislation to ban sorcery, telling parliament, "It's becoming more popular for people in Bahrain to turn to fortune tellers and sorcerers to find out what their future holds or to act as mediums to harm others or make people fall in love with them. There are many homes around the country that are known to be practicing black magic and if you drive past them a large number of cars from around the GCC would be found parked outside." This created consternation among the Kingdom's magicians and fortune tellers, with soothsayer Dina, responding, "I can understand the MPs' feelings because there are fraudsters out there, but it's not fair for those who truly have the gift of seeing the future and dealing with the supernatural."

In February 2006, Mattar proposed the introduction of Sharia Law, saying that the removal of thieves' hands would address rising crime, particularly burglaries. Explaining the move, he said, "Thieves should feel the agony of their victims and this would be a permanent lesson to them." Continuing his campaign to introduce amputations, in April 2006 he compared Bahrain's jails to "five star hotels" and said that a recent prison inspection by the Bahrain Human Rights Society is "something I really feel awkward about, considering that the criminals did not treat others fairly when they stole from them".

Mattar's proposals for Sharia Law led to a clash with Bahrain's government when he tried to amend Article 342 of the Penal Code so that those who kill someone in an accident would have to pay blood money to the victim's family or lose their own lives. Determining the blood money would be at the discretion of the victim's family. The move was opposed by a majority of Bahrain's MPs.

New York State Route 424 (NY 424) was an east–west state highway in northern Chautauqua County, New York, in the United States. The route began at an intersection with NY 380 (now County Route 380 or CR 380) in the town of Stockton and ended at a junction with NY 60 in the village of Cassadaga. NY 424 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and removed from the state highway system in 1980 as part of a highway maintenance swap between the state of New York and Chautauqua County. The route's former alignment is now part of CR 58.

Route description

NY 424 began at an intersection with NY 380 in the town of Stockton. The route headed northeast, passing by forests and homes as it ascended Stockton Hill. Here, it intersected with Nelson Hill Road, a short alternate route of NY 424. After reaching the top of the hill, NY 424 became known as Stockton Hill Road and went through fields on its way to the village of Cassadaga. Once in the village limits, the highway intersected Putnam Road (CR 71) in an area of Cassadaga known as Burnhams. NY 424 continued on into the heart of the village, passing by homes and the southern end of Lower Lake before coming to an end at an intersection with NY 60.

History

NY 424 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It went unchanged until April 1, 1980, when ownership and maintenance of the route was transferred from the state of New York to Chautauqua County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. The other routes given to the county were the portion of NY 380 between NY 424 and U.S. Route 20 (US 20), the entirety of NY 428, and two reference routes in Dunkirk and Fredonia. In return, the state assumed control of NY 394 between NY 5 and US 20, US 62 from NY 394 to NY 60, and Forest Avenue south of Jamestown. The NY 424 designation was officially removed on August 7, 1980, and its former routing is now part of CR 58, which was extended over the length of the state highway.

Eliyahu Brothers Postcards are series of Postcards, who published by the Eliyahu brothers, Matityahu and Yossef Eliyahu, from the early 1920s to 1939 in Mandatory Israel.

The Series includes hundreds of images; Most of the images are views of Israel and some others were the leaders of the Zionist movement.

History
Matityahu and Yossef Eliyahu were born in Corfu to Malka and Abraham (Elia), active in the Zionist movement in Corfu. They arrived in 1914 to Ottoman Israel and worked in printing in Jaffa.

During World War I in 1917, they were deported from Tel Aviv with other citizens of the Enemy countries of the Ottoman Empire, especially Greece, of which they were born. They were persecuted and sent with hundreds of other Jewish refugees to Hama in Syria, and then to Istanbul.

After World War I, they returned to Mandatory Israel and set up a stationery store in Jaffa, and another on Nahalat Binyamin Street in Tel Aviv, later moving to Herzl Street.

Eliyahu brothers were importers of products from the Parker Pen Company, including ink, fountain pen types, and other accessories of stationery products. At the same time, they opened a publishing house printing postcards of Israel.

Description
The postcards: colored and in black and white, were printed in Europe and sent from the printing houses to Mandatory Israel.
The images of the postcards included: the Wailing Wall, Rachel's Tomb, new Zionist settlements — such as Petah Tikva, Hadera, and Degania Alef, Kibbutz Ein Harod and main cities such as Jerusalem and Haifa.
Half of the images concerned Tel Aviv and streets such as Herzl, Nordau Boulevard, Sokolov, Ahad Ha'am, Bialik, Dizengoff, Rothschild Boulevard, and Trumpeldor. Others were about prominent leaders like Chaim Weizmann and Ze'ev Jabotinsky.

Dr. Dalia Levy, who researches their factory, wrote: "In the years 1939-1920, they were the largest producers of postcards in Mandatory Israel."

Benjamin Kuipers (born 7 April 1949) is an American computer scientist at the University of Michigan, known for his research in qualitative simulation.

Biography 
Kuipers graduated from Swarthmore College in 1970 with a B.A. in Mathematics. He then did two years of alternate service as a conscientious objector to military service, working in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. He began his doctoral studies in pure mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He soon discovered the field of Artificial Intelligence, and spent most of his time at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, where his advisor was Marvin Minsky. He received his PhD in Mathematics from MIT in 1977. He spent a post-doctoral year as a research associate at the MIT Division for Study and Research in Education, funded by a DARPA grant to support collaborative research with BBN psychologist Albert Stevens.

Kuipers joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin in 1985 and became department chair in 1997. In January 2009, he moved to the University of Michigan, where he is now a professor of Computer Science and Engineering.

Kuipers is an elected fellow of the AAAI and the AAAS.

Personal stance on military funding
Kuipers is also well known for his personal stance against accepting military funding for his research. As he explains in his essay, "Why don't I take military funding?", during a DARPA-funded post-doctoral year he discovered that the primary interest in his early work on cognitive maps came from military agencies with the goal of building intelligent cruise missiles. As explained in his essay, he felt that he did not want his life's work to contribute to war.
