The Fire Museum of Texas is located in a former fire station, the former Central Fire Station, in Beaumont, Texas, built in 1927.  The building is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and is an example of the Renaissance Revival.  The building houses state-of-the-art interactive fire safety exhibits with a collection of antique fire equipment dating as early as 1856. It also has a two-story interactive playhouse for children to learn fire safety. Another feature is that "...the world's largest working fire hydrant...", a towering twenty-four (24) feet tall, is in front of the building.  In addition to the fire hydrant, the museum features the State of Texas Firefighter Memorial, a 9-11 Memorial, and a Firefighter commemorative walkway.

Permanent exhibits trace history of fire fighting from bucket brigades to present practices.  Several antique trucks are featured dating from 1856.  Temporary exhibits can also be found at the museum.

The museum is part of a concentration of several museums in the downtown Beaumont area.  It is located blocks away from the Tyrrell Historical Library, the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, the Beaumont Children's Museum (temporarily located in the Beaumont Civic Center), and the Edison Museum.

William James Dwyer (9 May 1887 – 10 May 1951) was an Irish politician and businessman.

He was born 9 May 1887 in Cork city, second son among three sons and two daughters of Walter Dwyer of Sunday's Well, Cork, merchant and later director and managing director of Dwyer & Co., and Clare Dwyer (née Downing). He was educated at Presentation Brothers College, Cork; and Downside School, Somerset, England.

On finishing school in 1905, he returned to Cork to join his fathers' company. It was founded by his grandfather in the nineteenth century, and had become a large concern involved in the manufacture of clothing for men and boys. His experience within the family business helped to educate him in all aspects of the manufacturing process, to the extent that he left the firm in 1913 and set up his own hosiery factory.

Following the success of his hosiery business. in 1928 he founded Sunbeam Knitwear Co., which manufactured knitted underwear. In 1933 he acquired the Irish business of Wolsey Ltd (an English-based underwear manufacturer) and merged it with Sunbeam Ltd to create Sunbeam Wolsey Ltd.

He was an unsuccessful Fine Gael candidate at the 1943 general election for the Cork Borough constituency. He was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1944 general election as an independent Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork Borough.

He resigned his seat on 29 March 1946 because he felt that he was neglecting his continually expanding commercial concerns. The subsequent by-election on 14 June 1946 was won by Patrick McGrath of Fianna Fáil. He stood unsuccessfully as an independent candidate at the 1948 general election for the Cork East constituency.

A devout catholic who took a deep interest in the welfare of his workers and the working classes in general, he founded the Sunbeam Social Service Society. Partly run by the workers, the society provided free medical, dental, and marriage benefits as well as home nursing to those who required it. He also helped to organise the Marsh Building Society to build homes for the working classes. In addition to this he funded the building of a recreation hall in a housing area near Spangle Hill in Cork. His most generous benefaction was the reconstruction of the Church of the Annunciation, Blackpool, which he then donated to the cathedral parish of Blackrock. In 1950 he both organised and met half the costs of a pilgrimage to Rome for his workers. In recognition of his services to the church and charity in general he was granted a private audience with the pope in 1951.

He married Agnes Harding in 1912, and they had one son and three daughters. He died on 10 May 1951 at the Bon Secours nursing home in Cork.

Pamela in Her Exalted Condition is Samuel Richardson's 1742 sequel to his novel, Pamela; or Virtue Rewarded. Richardson wrote the novel as a response to criticisms of his original work, continuations written by other authors, and readers' desire to read about the life of the protagonist, the 15-year-old former maid, Pamela, after her ascent into genteel life following her marriage to and reformation of the rakish Mr. B from the original novel. Richardson's sequel explores debates and questions about the roles of women and the challenges Pamela faces in her new life as a wife, mother, and member of the upper class. The novel was a critical and commercial failure.

Background 
Richardson's first novel, Pamela, was a popular and critical success, engaging a large readership who felt very attached to the character due to the original novel's epistolary form, intimate and realistic writing style, and strong moral basis. This led to the creation of satires of Richardson's work, such as Henry Fielding's Shamela and Joseph Andrews and Eliza Haywood's The Anti-Pamela, as well as unauthorized sequels. Three notable sequels were published in 1741: John Kelly's Pamela’s Conduct in High Life and two anonymous sequels: Pamela in High Life and The Life of Pamela. The latter is a third-person retelling of both Richardson's original novel and Kelly's continuation. These unofficial sequels capitalized off the novel's popularity to draw in readers and make a profit. Both the satires and unofficial sequels led Richardson to write an official continuation of his original novel titled Pamela in her Exalted Condition, which was published in 1742.

Plot 
In the sequel to his first novel, Richardson further defines Pamela's morality and demonstrates her growth and increasing gentility as she grows accustomed to her new married life in a higher social class. The follow-up novel responds to what Richardson felt were misinterpretations of his original work and characters. Literary analyst Peter Sabor writes,

This interest in refining the characters and their morals and conduct led to the novel being much less exciting than Richardson's original work. In the novel, Pamela becomes pregnant and Mr. B has an extramarital relationship; however, the novel mostly contains moral and philosophical debates and much calmer resolutions to the issues that arise in their marriage. By the end of the novel, Pamela has fully adjusted to her role as a woman of gentility, marking a dramatic shift from her working-class origins, and Mr. B is fully reformed, becoming a statesman. These changes, while cementing Richardson's intentions and visions for his characters, led to a much less exciting novel that did not carry the same appeal as the first, leading it to be far less read and studied.

K45AR channel 45 was a low-power UHF television station located in Eagle Bend, Minnesota. It started in the late 1970s under the call sign KXG2CB, then transmitting on a 100-watt transmitter under an experimental license from the FCC. K45AR was used for the first educational instructional television (ITV) system in the state. The station was run by the schools of Bertha-Hewitt, Clarissa, and Eagle Bend.

History 
K45AR was the idea of Eagle Bend High School principal Richard Lundgren. Lundgren was in search of getting a way to provide more educational opportunities to his students for a low cost. Instructional television allowed schools to sharing teachers without the teachers or students leaving their respective schools.

When K45AR first went on the air it operated under the experimental license KG2XCB. Its first transmitter was located in Eagle Bend. Its power was 100 watts and its tower was about 190 ft. Along with Eagle Bend Public School, the Bertha-Hewitt and Clarissa public schools each owned an ITFS microwave transmitter to broadcast via closed circuit between schools. Each school was located approximately 5 miles apart from each other. With this system the schools could teach classes from each site and the students could interact with the teachers at each site. Because KG2XCB broadcast on a conventional UHF channel in the clear, people with a regular antenna could receive the signal at home and watch the classes being offered by the schools. The station also broadcast adult and children's educational programs when the three schools were not broadcasting, including PBS programs furnished by WDSE in Duluth.

In January 1980 the system was dedicated, attended by people from all over Minnesota and the United States.

In October 1984 the FCC granted a license to upgrade KG2XCB to become K45AR, a regular low-power UHF TV station. It now had a new,  and a new transmitter capable of 1,000 watts. Because of its new height and power the three schools added 2 more schools to its ITV system: Parkers Prairie and Staples Public Schools.

Because of growing cost issues to the station's upkeep, the station was taken off the air and sold in 1998.

The Urstromtaler is a community currency being used in the landlocked states Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt side by side with the euro. It equates one-to-one with euro in value and is accepted by several local shops and businesses. The supporters argue that this helps by promoting local business especially for the small local shops that have to compete against corporate supermarkets and chain stores.

There are 22 other regional currencies that have sprung up in Germany. Sometimes it is argued that Regiogeld is illegal, but most academics tend to see Regiogeld as a legal and welcome route to adapt regional economies to globalisation.

Thomas Hall (c. 1848–1929) was a New Zealand commission agent, forger and murderer.

Hall was born in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England, on 24 January 1848. He migrated to New Zealand as a young child with his parents in 1853. 

Hall's father, TW Hall eventually settled in Timaru and young Thomas managed a property owned by his uncle, John Hall, who later became a prominent New Zealand politician, Sir John Hall.

Hall established himself in business in the early 1880s becoming a partner in Hall and Meason, commission agents, selling land and lending money. 

He married Kate Emily Espie on 26 May 1885. She was the stepdaughter of Captain Henry Cain, who was Timaru's second mayor and regarded as the city's father. Cain died at Hall's house on 29 January 1886. 

The Halls had a child in June 1886 and soon after, his wife showed signs of a mysterious illness that puzzled her doctor. After a family friend drank from a cup intended for Kate, rumours in the community spread and the Doctor began to suspect poisoning. He sent off a sample of her stomach contents for analysis which confirmed suspicions. Hall and a family friend, Margaret Houston were committed for trial. 

Houston was acquitted, but Hall was sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder, and 12 charges of forgery. Soon after, the doctor had Hall's father-in-law's body exhumed and signs of poisoning were found. Justice Williams sentenced Thomas Hall to death for this second case, but on appeal, the conviction was overturned on a technicality. Hall was released from Mount Eden Prisons after serving 21 years and left the country. 

In the NZ Dictionary of Biography records that the time and place of Hall's death is unknown, however biographer Peter Graham claims that after his release he left to live in Australia in the seaside town of Yeppoon where he is buried today under the assumed name of Paul Newstead.
