John Coard Taylor (January 1, 1901 – June 25, 1946) was an American track and field athlete who placed fifth in the men's 400 meters at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He was national champion in the 220-yd low hurdles in 1922 and IC4A champion in 1922 and 1923.

Biography

Taylor, descended from early Dutch settlers in New York City, was born in Cranford, New Jersey. He studied at Princeton University, which had a strong track and field team under coach Keene Fitzpatrick. In 1922, his junior year, Taylor won the 220-yard hurdles in 23.9 at the intercollegiate (IC4A) championships and in 24.6 at the AAU national championships; in the AAU meet he represented the New York Athletic Club. The following year he repeated as IC4A  champion in the low hurdles (23.8) and placed a close second behind Allen Woodring in the 440 yards; his estimated time, 48.4, ranked him third in the world that year.

Taylor won the 400 meters at the 1924 United States Olympic Trials in Cambridge, Massachusetts; he ran his lifetime best, 48.1, in the heats and repeated that time in the final, defeating the eventual Olympic silver medalist Horatio Fitch. At the Olympics in Paris Taylor qualified for the final; he remained in medal contention until his sore ankle gave way just before the finish. He eventually crawled across the finish line and placed fifth; the injury ended his athletic career.

In 1926 Taylor joined the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation; he was named the company's general sales manager in 1931 and vice president in charge of sales in 1937. Still working for Ethyl, Taylor died of a heart attack in New York City on June 25, 1946; he was survived by his wife and three sons.

The Mass Ave Cultural Arts District, colloquially known as Mass Ave, is one of seven designated cultural districts in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The district centers on  of its namesake Massachusetts Avenue, from its southern terminus at New York and Delaware streets to its northern terminus at Bellefontaine Street. The avenue is one of the four original diagonal streets included in Alexander Ralston's plan of 1821. Mass Ave also contains the Massachusetts Avenue Commercial District, a historic district included on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.

Today it lies at the heart of the city's arts district. It offers some of the city's most visible theaters and art galleries as well as a number of shops and eateries.

Gentrification in the 1990s propelled the area from squalor to one of the city's more fashionable addresses. Currently, redevelopment of Mass Ave focuses on fostering locally owned shops, theaters, and restaurants.

Spalding Sessions House is a judicial structure in the Sheep Market in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. The structure, which used to be the main courthouse for the south of Parts of Holland, is a Grade II listed building.

History
The first venue for the quarter sessions in Spalding was the old Town Hall in the triangular open space in Hall Place, which was commissioned by John Hobson, and dated back to about 1620. However, in the 1830s, the justices complained that the town hall was too small for them and it was agreed to commission a new sessions house. The site they selected in the Sheep Market was adjacent to a new prison which had been erected in 1825 to replace an earlier House of Correction in Broad Street which had dated from 1619.

The new sessions house was designed by Charles Kirk from Sleaford, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £6,000 and was officially opened on 30 June 1843. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto the Sheep Market. The central section of three bays featured an arched doorway flanked by two bi-partite mullioned and transomed windows, all with traceried panels above; on the first floor there was a large tri-partite mullioned and transomed window flanked by two bi-partite mullioned and transomed windows. The bays were separated by buttresses surmounted by statues of lions and, at roof level, there was a crenelated parapet which was decorated by a panel bearing the Royal coat of arms. The end bays, which were projected forward, took the form of three-stage towers with doorways in the first stage, oriel windows in the second stage and pairs of narrow windows in the third stage; the towers were also surmounted by crenelated parapets. Internally, the principal rooms were the courtroom as well as a series of prison cells on the ground floor.

The building continued to be used as a facility for dispensing justice but, in 2012, the building was declared no longer fit for purpose and magistrates court hearings were transferred to Boston. In 2016, food production specialists, Oliver and Dorota Sneath, acquired the building and initiated works to convert the sessions house into a mix of residential accommodation and leisure space. The building was licensed for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in 2018.

The Phoenico-Persian Gate of ancient Tell is a monument located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.

Overview
A city gate complex with storage rooms dating from the first millennium BC was discovered during the mid-1990s excavations. It separated the upper town from the lower town around the harbor.

Construction
During the first millennium B.C., a stone-paved ramp linked the western harbor to the upper town. Archaeologists discovered a city gate complex in this area. A preserved threshold and pivot-stone are part of the first gate, which gave access to the complex. A second paved ramp led up to an inner gate. Later, the construction of Beirut’s fortifications from the 7th century A.D. onwards, destroyed this gate. A cobble pavement is all that remains. The gate complex separated the upper town from the lower town, around the harbor, where installations with circular silos and ovens, workshops and houses were built.

The 1848 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 7, 1848, as part of the 1848 United States presidential election. Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Indiana voted for the Democratic candidate, Lewis Cass, over Whig candidate Zachary Taylor and Free Soil candidate Martin Van Buren. Cass won Indiana by a narrow margin of 3.16%.

This is one of just two times (the other being the extremely disputed and very narrow election of 1876) that a losing Democratic candidate carried Indiana, and the only time that a Democrat who lost the popular vote carried the state.

The E-Money Directive or the electronic money directive (2009/110/EC, originally 2000/46/EC) regulates electronic payment systems in the European Union. The aim is to enable new and secure electronic money services and to foster effective competition between all market participants.

As per Article 2(2) of Directive 2009/110/EC, “e-money” means “electronically, including magnetically, stored monetary value as represented by a claim on the issuer which is issued on receipt of funds for the purpose of making payment transaction, and which is accepted by a natural or legal person other than the electronic money issuer”. e-money is “technically neutral” (Article 7) and intended to serve as an “electronic surrogate for coins and banknotes” (Article 13). The European Commission describes e-money as a "digital alternative to cash". The European Central Bank accounts for e-money as "overnight deposits".

Because electronic money is technically neutral, it can be issued on different media including prepaid cards and electronic wallets. In 2019, Monerium became the first company authorized to issue e-money on blockchains. 

According to PayPal, UK, "PayPal enables individuals and businesses to send and receive electronic money online". Revolut, UK, is "authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations". And Wise_(company), UK, is also "authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations".
