A pithivier (; , ) is a round, enclosed pie usually made by baking two disks of puff pastry, with a filling stuffed in between. It has the appearance of a hump and is traditionally decorated with spiral lines drawn from the top outwards with the point of a knife, and scalloping on the edge. It is named after the French town of Pithiviers, where the dish is commonly assumed to originate.

A small mound of filling is positioned at the centre of the underneath layer of pastry, rather than spread on it, so as to prevent it from leaking during baking. The pie is traditionally finished with a distinct shine to the top of the crust, by brushing on an egg wash beforehand, or by caramelising a dusting of confectioner's sugar at the end of baking, or both.

Made for Epiphany, it is similar to the .

The filling of the pithivier is often a sweet frangipane (optionally combined with fruit such as cherry or plum), but savoury pies with vegetable, meat or cheese filling can also be called pithivier.

John D. Perdue (born June 22, 1950) is an American politician who served as the 24th West Virginia State Treasurer from 1997 to 2021.

Purdue was born in Boone County, West Virginia and grew up on a small farm. In 1972 he graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Whilst at University he was active in 4-H and the Future Farmers of America, becoming a 4-H All Star.

He has a wife, Robin, with whom he has two daughters.

Political Career

In 1989 he became Executive Assistant to West Virginia Governor Gaston Caperton, serving as a member of his staff for eight years.

In 1996 he won election as state treasurer as a member of the Democratic Party, a position he would hold for six terms. He was easily re-elected in his subsequent three elections, with no Republican even filing to run against him in 2000 and 2008.

Following Governor Joe Manchin's resignation in 2011 to take his seat in the US Senate, he stood in the subsequent gubernatorial special election. He finished fourth in the Democratic Primary, which was won by Earl Ray Tomblin.

His re-election in 2012 was closer than previous elections, winning 55% of the vote compared to his previous lowest of 60%. In 2016 he was re-elected with 50.4% of the vote, whilst Republican Donald Trump won the state in the concurrent Presidential election with 68.5% of the vote. 

Following governor Jim Justice’s defection to the Republican Party in 2017, Purdue became the last remaining Democrat in an elected state-wide position within West Virginia's government.

In 2020 he failed in his bid for a seventh term, losing to Republican Riley Moore.  His 24 year tenure as treasurer is the longest in the history of the office.

In December 2021 he was appointed by Joe Biden as State Executive Director for USDA's Farm Service Agency in West Virginia.

Liberia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's twelfth appearance at the Olympics since its debut in 1956, except for four occasions. Liberia failed to register any athletes at both the 1968 and 1992 Summer Olympics, joined the rest of the African nations to boycott the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and joined the United States-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, withdrawing after the opening ceremony.

The Liberian team featured two track and field athletes at the Games: sprinters Mariam Kromah and Emmanuel Matadi, who was selected to carry the nation's flag in the opening ceremony.  Liberia, however, has yet to win its first Olympic medal, as neither of the athletes passed the first round of their respective sporting events.

The rector was given Duba's brigade commander's guest house as his quarters, and army offices for administration. He expanded the number of Teacher Training Colleges and introduced Schools of Basic Studies on the site now used by the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University. His administration supervised orderly elections for the Nigerian Second Republic in 1979, handing over to the elected governor Tatari Ali on 1 October 1979.

Umberleigh railway station serves the village of Umberleigh in Devon, England. It is on the Tarka Line to ,   from  at milepost 205.75 from .

History
The station was opened by the North Devon Railway on 1 August 1854. The railway was single track. Although there was a passing loop at Umberleigh there was only a platform on the western track during the first few years. The main goods yard and cattle pens were on this side of the line at the south end of the station. A goods shed with a 2 ton crane was situated on a short siding at the other end of the platform. There was another short siding beyond the road bridge which also had a crane which could lift 5 tons.

A signal box was opened on 1 October 1873 but this was replaced on 19 October 1890 when the line towards Barnstaple was given a second track. The goods yard closed on 4 January 1965. The line was singled and the signal box closed on 21 May 1971.

A camping coach was available for hire in the main goods yard from 1935 to 1939 and again from 1962 to 1964.

Description
Umberleigh station is situated next to a bridge that carries the B3277 road from South Molton near its junction with the A377 Exeter to Barnstaple road. There is a small car park.

The single platform, which is long enough for a 7 coach train, is on the west side of the track. There is a waiting shelter for passengers but the former station master's house is in private use. The disused platform on the opposite side of the track can still be seen.

Services
All services at Umberleigh are operated by Great Western Railway. There is generally one train per hour in each direction between  and  but a very small number of services continue to or from other routes in East Devon on weekdays. All call at Umberleigh but only on request to the conductor or by signalling the driver as it approaches.

Community railway
The railway between Exeter and Barnstaple is designated as a community railway and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted as the Tarka Line.

Saint James Second Street Baptist Church is a historic church at 210 Harding Street in Fort Worth, Texas.  The congregation was founded in 1895 by the Reverend J. Francis Robinson.  Construction of the church began in 1913, by architect Frank J. Singleton.  African-American contractor George Powell built the south wing, while B.G. Rhodes built the north wing. Short square entry towers frame the Gothic Revival style red-brick building, and the lancet-shaped art glass windows give it a fortress-like appearance.

Services were held in the basement until construction was finished in 1918.  For many years the church held graduation ceremonies for I.M. Terrell High School.  The church was designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1986. It was added to the National Register in 1999.  In 2004, an electrical fire sparked a three-alarm blaze and caused $100,000 in damage.
