James Winright Flanagan (September 5, 1805September 28, 1887) was an American merchant, lawyer, and farmer from Henderson, Texas. Although never officially inaugurated, he briefly served as the Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1870, before leaving the position to represent Texas in the United States Senate from 1870 to 1875.

Early life
Flanagan was born to Charles and Elizabeth (Saunders) Flanagan in Albemarle County near Gordonsville, Virginia. Before his tenth birthday, the family moved to Boonesboro, Kentucky. As a young man he moved to Cloverport, Kentucky, on the Ohio River and became a prosperous merchant.  He also read law and was admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1825. He married Polly Moorman in 1826 and the couple had several children before moving to Henderson, Texas, in 1844.

Career
Flanagan established himself in Henderson by opening a store. He bought a farm, speculated in land, and practiced law. Politically, he was a Whig and an active supporter of Sam Houston. He later became a moderate Republican. Flanagan served in the Texas House of Representatives (1851–1852) and the Texas State Senate (1855–1858).

When the Civil War came to Texas, Flanagan was a Unionist, but he withdrew to his farm and lived quietly. He returned to active politics during the Reconstruction. He served as a delegate to both Constitutional Conventions. The first, in 1866, produced a state constitution that was rejected by the Radical Republicans in the U.S. Congress. The second, in 1868–1869, was successful.

Under the new Constitution, Flanagan was elected as Lieutenant Governor in 1869. He only held the position for a month, from January to February 1870. When Texas was readmitted to the Union, the legislature named him, along with Morgan Hamilton, to the U.S. Senate. He served one term as a Senator, until 1875 when he was replaced by the Democrat Samuel Maxey. In the Senate he was a supporter of the Grant Administration.

Later life
After his Senate term, Flanagan took up residence on one of his farms near Longview, Texas. He married again (he was widowed twice and married three times), this time to Elizabeth Lane. The three marriages produced a total of eleven children. One of Flanagan's children was David Webster Flanagan who also served as Lieutenant Governor in Texas.

Flanagan died on his farm in Longview in 1887 and was buried next to his first wife, Polly, in their family graveyard in Henderson, Texas.

Vivian Reed (April 17, 1894 – July 19, 1989), also known as Vivian R. Green, was an American silent film actress. She appeared in 36 films between 1914 and 1938, and was described in news reports during her early years as "the girl-with-the-million-dollar-smile" and a "screen beauty" who was "one of the most beautiful young women in motion pictures."

Personal life

Born in Chicago, Illinois on April 17, 1894, Vivian Reed was a daughter of William L. and Cora Reed. Raised in Chicago's twelfth ward during the early 1900s, and educated in the city's public schools, she married film director Alfred E. Green in Manhattan, New York on July 19, 1918. They were the parents of three children: Douglas Green, Hilton A. Green, and Marshall Green, all of whom later worked as assistant directors in the film industry.

Listed in film credits as Vivian Reed during the 1910s and 1920s, she was known by her married name, Vivian R. Green, in later life. She was preceded in death by her husband, Alfred, who died in Newport Beach, California on September 4, 1960, following a lengthy illness.

A resident of the Woodland Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles, California in her later years, she died there on July 19, 1989.

Film career
Reed performed the role of Princess Gloria in His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz. This was the last Oz film produced by L. Frank Baum.

Another of her films, The Lad and the Lion (1917), was the first adaptation of an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, predating the Tarzan films. As with many early silent films, no copies of this lost film are known to exist. In 1918, she was cast as "the wronged girl," Marie Dubois, in The Guilty Man.

Reportedly an adept horsewoman and "regular whirlwind" with "nerve in abundance" who could "ride a horse with the most daring cowboys" and was "not a mere camera poser," Reed was associated with the Selig Polyscope Company in 1917 and 1918, and appeared with Eddie Polo in the twelfth episode of the 1917 series, The Bull's Eye.

Reed also portrayed Princess Ozma in the introductions to films made by The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. She had a non-speaking, minor role in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz.

The United States Commission on Ocean Policy (sometimes known as the Watkins Commission, after the chairman of the commission during its first gathering, James Watkins) was created by an act of the 106th United States Congress known as the Oceans Act of 2000.   The commission's mandate was to establish findings and develop recommendations for a new and comprehensive national ocean policy.  The final report was delivered in September 2004, and shortly afterwards the commission was terminated, as scheduled by the Oceans Act.

Working groups 

In the course of its work, the Commission established four working groups to address the following issues:
 Governance
 Research, Education and Marine Operations
 Stewardship
 Investment and Implementation

History 
The previous review of U.S. ocean policy had been conducted thirty-five years before by the Stratton Commission, published in 1969.  To account for changes in the intervening years, the U.S. Congress decided to form the Commission on Ocean Policy to conduct a new review, and develop recommendations for future ocean policy.  The Oceans Act of 2000 was passed in the Senate June 6, 2000, and become effective on January 20, 2001.

The Commission is composed of 16 members. Per the Act, the House of Representatives and Senate Majority each nominated eight people, and the President appointed four from each list.

The Commission  began its work in September 2001 with a series of nine regional meetings and 18 additional site visits in every coastal region of the United States and the Great Lakes. The Commission heard testimony from 445 experts, including many of the nation's top ocean scientists and researchers,  environmental organizations, industry, citizens, and government officials,  as well as receiving written testimony from countless others.

The Commission released its Preliminary Report on April 20, 2004, for review by the nation's Governors and  other stakeholders.

On September 20, 2004, the Commission submitted its Final Report to the President and Congress, "An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century".  On December 19, 2004, the Commission officially expired, as called for under the Oceans Act of 2000.

Gasteria pillansii (Namaqua gasteria) is succulent plant native to the arid winter-rainfall regions in the far west of South Africa and Namibia.

Description

This species of Gasteria has its strap-shaped leaves in two opposite rows (distichous), and is very variable in its appearance, and especially in its size. Its flowers are 25–45 mm long, with only slightly swollen bases for up to one-third of the length.

In its vegetative appearance, it looks very similar to its two closest relatives, Gasteria disticha and Gasteria brachyphylla to the south, which are also distichous. However the flowers are different, with G. disticha having smaller flowers of just 12–20 mm which have flower bases that are inflated or swollen for roughly two-thirds of the flower length.

It is proliferous, offsetting from underground stolons, and can form large clumps. It has pink flowers which appear in mid-summer around December. The seeds develop in time to be dispersed during the rains of autumn and winter.

Distribution
It occurs in the arid winter rainfall region in the far west of South Africa. This is succulent Karoo vegetation, and corresponds to the Namaqualand. It also extends into the far south of Namibia.

It is the only Gasteria species to extend this far north along the west coast of southern Africa, with most of its relatives occurring along the wetter south and east coast of the subcontinent. It is also the only purely winter-rainfall species in the genus.

In its natural habitat, it is typically found under rocks or bushes that provide it with some shelter from the sun.

In cultivation it is very easy to grow, but requires a dry summer to match its natural habitat. They also require extremely well-drained sandy soil, and are prone to "Fusarium" root rot.

Varieties

 G. pillansii var. pillansii - The type variety, with 200mm strap-shaped leaves. The subvariety "ramkop" with its broad, compact, patent leaves, is very popular as an ornamental. 
 G. pillansii var. ernsti-ruschii - Variety from Namibia in the far north (Sonberg & Kuamsib) with recurved, patent, mottled leaves. 
 G. pillansii var. hallii - Variety from Oograbies mountains near Port Nolloth. It has ascending, smaller leaves, and shorter flowers.

Tango was a comics anthology published in Melbourne, Australia by Cardigan Comics, with nine issues of Tango, published intermittently from 1997 to 2009, and an additional compilation The Tango Collection, published in 2009 by Allen & Unwin.

Overview
Tango is described as "the Australian romance comics anthology".  Each issue features contributions by comic artists living and working in Melbourne and other parts of Australia and New Zealand.  The first three issues of Tango were large format publications, inspired by large format anthologies from the United States such as the early issues of RAW.  Later issues became smaller in format, and beginning with the fourth issue in 2001 (Tango Quatro), each has been sub-titled with a theme of "Love and ...".  Respectively, the themes for issues four through nine have been: 'Love and Death', 'Love and the Senses', 'Love and Sex', 'Love and Sedition' 'Love and Food', and 'Love and War'.  Drawing on contributions from the first eight issues of Tango, Allen and Unwin published The Tango Collection in 2009. In 2017-2018 the State Library of Victoria featured 'Tango' in its ongoing exhibition about the history of the book, 'The Mirror of the World'.

The Creator of Tango
Bernard Caleo was the creator and editor of Tango, as well as being a contributor to each issue.  Caleo is also a performer, speaker, interviewer, blogger and general promoter of comics and comic talent in Melbourne and more broadly in Australia and New Zealand.

Origins
Spurred by the disappearance of an earlier Australian comic anthology, Fox Comics, Caleo wanted to provide a vehicle for both experienced and new comic artists to demonstrate and develop their talents.  The chosen theme of romance is intended to evoke associations with both love and adventure.

Issues
There were nine issues of Tango, with the last issue Tango 9: Love and War published in December 2009.
