General Secretariat of Ukraine

The General Secretariat of Ukraine () was the autonomous Ukrainian executive government of the Russian Republic from June 28, 1917 to January 22, 1918. For most of its existence it was headed by Volodymyr Vynnychenko. The secretariat was created after the Central Council of Ukraine accepted a proposal of the Ukrainian Party of Socialist Revolutionaries. According to the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, this event took place five days after the proclamation of the 1st Universal of the Central Council of Ukraine, however many contemporary historians have other opinions in that regard. The initial composition of the secretariat included eight General Secretaries (ministers) and one General Scribe (secretary). Background The first document of the government that identified its program was the Declaration of the General Secretariat. It was publicly announced at the plenum meeting of the Central Council of Ukraine on June 26 by the head of the Secretariat, Volodymyr Vynnychenko. The document together with the First Universal caused a lot of worrying in Petrograd as precedent to possible separation. It only took several days when the official delegation led by Aleksandr Kerensky together with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Tereschenko and Minister of Post and Telegraph Tsereteli arrived to Kiev. The Russian delegation and the members of the General Secretariat along with Mykhailo Hrushevsky after some discussion worked out the new Universal of the UPR and the Declaration of the Russian Provisional Government that were announced on July 3. On July 13, 1917 the Russian Provisional Government recognized the Secretariat as the highest executive power in Ukraine and requested from the Tsentralna Rada that the members of the secretariat ought to be confirmed by the Russian Government. The Secretariat would be expanded to include members of minorities and would be responsible to the Rada. By the end of July 1917 five more secretariats were added due to the Provisional Government request. In course of the next round of negotiations now in Petrograd the Ukrainian delegation was requesting the acceptance of the General Secretariat Statute by the Russian Provisional Government, which was approved by the Central Rada and proclaimed as the first Constitution. Those Negotiations ended with that the Prime Minister of Russia, Aleksandr Kerensky, signed the Instruction for the General Secretariat of the Provisional Government in Ukraine, a legal normative act, that was binding the local government of Ukraine for its execution. According to the Instruction, the General Secretariat had limited powers, but was acknowledged as the highest institution of the Provisional Government in Ukraine and authority of which stretched upon five gubernias Volyn, Podillia, Poltava, Kiev, and partially Chernihiv. The Russian Provisional Government requested the Secretariat to be reduced to nine members and that all of the members will be appointed by the Russian Government by the recommendations of the Tsentralna Rada. The secretariats of the military affairs, food and legal affairs, and postmaster-telegraph were to be canceled. After some negotiations the Tsentralna Rada yielded to the request on August 7, followed by the resignation of Volodymyr Vynnychenko as a sign of protest and pressure from the Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionary Party. Mala Rada has accepted his resignation on August 13. Dmytro Doroshenko (UPSF), a former head commissioner of the Provisional Government of Galicia and Bucovina, was offered to create a new Secretariat. The Mala Rada has confirmed his selections already on August 14, but soon Doroshenko resigned on August 18. Finally Vynnychenko came back to accomplish the task and on September 1 the Provisional Government confirmed the new administration. Until January 1918 the Secretariat conducted 63 meetings where were reviewed 430 various issues of political, economical, military, and diplomatic character. In October 1917, the Russian Provisional Government stopped the transfer of funds to the General Secretariat and expressed its intentions to file a claim against its members for separatism and the participation in the All-Ukrainian Constituent Assembly. The Russian government requested an appearance of Volodymyr Vynnychenko personally for the full explanation in that regard. On October 21 at the meeting of the Secretariat was reviewed the issue of sending delegation to Petrograd headed by Vynnychenko together with Steshenko and Zarubin for the negotiations with the Provisional Government in reference to the political situation in Ukraine. That intention was ceased due to the change of power in the country with the utilization of the military force. After the October Revolution of 1917 the Secretariat was forced to expanded once again to supplement the ministries of the collapsed Provisional Government. After the proclamation of the Third Universal on November 20, 1917 number of secretaries have resigned. Later on January 6, 1918 Symon Petliura was commissioned to take the charge of the Haydamaka Kish. By start of 1918 the Secretariat has changed dramatically. On January 25 (dated January 22), 1918 the General Secretariat was transformed into the Council of People's Ministers after the declaration of the IV Universal and independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Location Initially the government was located at the same location as the Central Rada at 54 vulytsia Volodymyrska (Volodymyr Street), however Volodymyr Vynnychenko knew that it could not last for long as it only had two rooms assigned in the mediocre building. The government soon moved to 38 Khreshchatyk Street in the building of former hotel "Savvoi" which has not preserved after World War II. Currently at that location exists the building of the Kyiv City Council (36 Khreshchatyk Street). The first government budget was adopted on August 30, 1917. The proposition to move to the building of "Savvoi" hotel came up on the session of the Central Rada on September 13, 1917 with intentions to lease the place from the city government, under jurisdiction of which the hotel was. The General Secretariat was allowed to move to "Savvoi" sometime in late September 1917, however that place was decided to be a temporary due to the physical conditions of the building. Vynnychenko tried to acquire the Mariinskyi Palace from the "Worker's and Soldier's Deputies", but unsuccessfully. Other interests were posed by the hotel "Frantsiya" (corner of Khreshchatyk and Prorizna vulytsia) and the Popov building (22 vulytsia Hrushevskoho). Today in place of the former hotel is located the building of Ministry of Energy and Fuel. The General Secretariat was finally able to move to the former Palace of Governor-General in Kiev at 40 vulytsia Instytutska (Institute Street) in January 1918, while the hotel "Savvoi" after being restored was also secured after the Ukrainian government. Later the Palace has suffered greatly during the military actions in 1920 and was replaced by other building changing the address to 20/8 Institute Street.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar%20Museum%20%28Berlin%29

Sugar Museum (Berlin)

The Sugar Museum was a museum that operated from 1904 until 2012 in Berlin with exhibits dedicated to the history and technology of sugar. At its closure as an independent museum in 2012, it was the oldest such museum in the world, and was housed in the Institut für Lebensmitteltechnologie (Institute of Food Technology) in Wedding, Mitte. It reopened in the form of a modernized exhibit at the German Museum of Technology in Kreuzberg in November 2015. History Berlin played an important role in the history of sugar production. Andreas Sigismund Marggraf discovered beet sugar there in 1747, and his student Franz Carl Achard was the first to produce it, beginning in 1783, in Kaulsdorf, which became part of Greater Berlin in 1920. In 1799 he presented the product to King Frederick William III of Prussia, who sponsored him in establishing in 1801 the first beet sugar production facility in the world in Cunern, in Silesia (now Konary, Wołów County, Poland). In 1867 a sugar research laboratory was established in Berlin under Carl Scheibler. On 8 May 1904, the Institute for Sugar Industry which had developed out of this opened, and the Sugar Museum simultaneously opened on the upper floor of the building, as the first such institution in the world. Edmund Oskar von Lippmann is largely credited for the opening of the museum. In 1945, the museum became the property of Berlin, and in 1978 of the Technical University of Berlin. In 1988, it became a state museum of the former GDR and, after a year of renovations, reopened on 22 September 1989. Since 1 November 1995, it has been a branch museum of the German Museum of Technology. The museum remained in its original building in the sugar industry neighbourhood of Wedding until November 2012. The Sugar Museum had 450 square metres of floor space devoted to the history and technology of sugar. About 20,000 people visited it every year. Permanent exhibition At the independent museum, exhibits were labelled in German only, although an English-language pamphlet describing them was also available. Lonely Planet called the Sugar Museum "quirky... a surprisingly entertaining exhibit where you’ll learn all about the origin of sugar and its chemistry." The long-time director of the Sugar Museum, Hubert Olbrich, said in 1989 that its purpose was "To show and thus bring before the public the history and the development of sugar into a staple food of humanity, how it is obtained and how it is used". The museum's permanent exhibits cover the science and nutrition of sugar and its history from technological, cultural and political standpoints. They are organised into seven thematic groups: Sugarcane This section describes the biology and cultivation history of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), from its use more than 10,000 years ago by the natives of Melanesia as a source of nutrition to the first report of it in the West by generals of Alexander the Great, successive improvements in sugar refining and its planting on the island of Hispaniola. The exhibits include sugar harvesting and refining machinery and information on agricultural pests which affect sugar. Sugar in colonialism Since the climate in the Caribbean was well suited to growing sugar, beginning in the 16th century, sugar was a major product of Western colonialism. Refining the sugar in the colonies where it was grown was legally discouraged or forbidden, so it was shipped back to Europe. The exhibits include models of the ships used and portray the development of major centres of sugar trading and refining in cities like Antwerp, Amsterdam, Bordeaux, Hamburg and London and the hard conditions for workers in both the sugar plantations and the sugar refineries. In the European refineries, the sugar industry pioneered the use of guest workers, in England predominantly Germans, who had a reputation for hard work, good humour, and the ability to withstand the heat. The slave trade The great demand for sugar in Europe and the resulting ever increasing need for plantation workers led to the near extinction of the natives and made sugar production dependent on African slaves. Current estimates are that between 1500 and 1850, some 20 million people were forcibly transported to the Americas. Exhibits in the Sklavenwirtschaft / Plantagenwirtschaft (Slave trade / Plantation trade) section of the museum depict the inhumane conditions on slave ships and give glimpses into the lives of the workers in the New World. The European demand for sugar was so great, however, and the resulting wealth of the "West India interest" so influential, that despite the boycott efforts of the 'Anti-Sacharrites', not until sugar could be made from sugar beets did antislavery advocates prevail, as for example they did in England in 1807 with the passage of the Slave Trade Act. The sugar beet in Prussia The discovery of beet sugar changed sugar from a luxury good to a mass commodity in Berlin in a little over a century. Exhibits in this section of the museum include a model of the first sugar beet processing plant in the world, built in Silesia in 1801, which demonstrates both the progress which was required before sugar could be industrially produced, and the working conditions in such plants. A 14-part diorama shows the steps in the production of sugar from sugar beets in Nauen around 1920. In addition, a large 1903 painting by Clara Elisabeth Fischer, commissioned by E.O. von Lippmann for the museum, depicts a fictional scene of Franz Carl Achard, the 'inventor' of beet sugar, presenting his discovery to King Frederick William III in the form of a sugarloaf; Achard actually sent his beet sugar to the king. All known varieties of sugar beet today descend from the plants developed by Achard over 20 years of selective breeding in Kaulsdorf. Sugar production With increasing industrialisation, sugar from beets became a staple food in Germany. This section of the museum covers the geographic distribution of sugar production in Germany, the advances in its cultivation and processing over the past 100 years, and the economic and ecological significance of byproducts such as molasses and bagasse; the production of biodegradable plastics, ethanol and yeast are examples of the broader context of the sugar industry. A world without sugar This section of the museum tells the consumer side of the story of sugar since the 18th century, its use as a status symbol, a medicinal cure and finally an everyday element used far more in foods than is generally realised. One display area shows luxury items of porcelain or precious metals made to hold sugar when it was a very expensive item. Exhibits explore issues of the relationship between sugar consumption and health and present alternative sweeteners, but also depict the fundamental role of sugar as a means of delivering energy in both plants and animals. Sugar can never be totally replaced by other sweeteners. No alcohol without sugar For at least 7,000 years, people have been fermenting sugary liquids to produce alcohol (ethanol). This section of the museum, housed in the winter garden, covers the discovery of alcohol (probably from consumption of fermented fruit) and the history of the use of sugar to make wine, beer and distilled alcoholic beverages such as whisky and brandy, as far back as the Sumerians, who brewed beer 6,000 years ago. Special exhibitions The museum also mounted occasional special exhibitions. These have included: "Zuckermotive auf Briefmarken" (sugar motifs on postage stamps), 6 May – 7 July 1991. "Zuckergefäße und Zuckergeräte aus Silber" (silver sugar containers and utensils), 10 June 1993 – mid-June 2001.

Stages Stage 1 10 March 2019 — Saint-Germain-en-Laye to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Stage 2 11 March 2019 — Les Bréviaires to Bellegarde, Stage 3 12 March 2019 — Cepoy to Moulins/Yzeure, Stage 4 13 March 2019 — Vichy to Pélussin, Stage 5 14 March 2019 — Barbentane to Barbentane, Individual time trial Stage 6 15 March 2019 — Peynier to Brignoles, Stage 7 16 March 2019 — Nice to Col de Turini, Stage 8 17 March 2019 — Nice to Nice, Classification leadership table In the 2019 Paris–Nice, four jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages except for the individual time trial: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. Bonus seconds were also awarded to the first three riders at intermediate sprints – three seconds for the winner of the sprint, two seconds for the rider in second and one second for the rider in third. The leader of the general classification received a yellow jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the 2019 Paris–Nice, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race. The second classification was the points classification. Riders were awarded points for finishing in the top ten in a stage. Unlike in the points classification in the Tour de France, the winners of all stages were awarded the same number of points. Points were also won in intermediate sprints; three points for crossing the sprint line first, two points for second place, and one for third. The leader of the points classification was awarded a green jersey. There was also a mountains classification, for which points were awarded for reaching the top of a climb before other riders. Each climb was categorised as either first, second, or third-category, with more points available for the more difficult, higher-categorised climbs. For first-category climbs, the top seven riders earned points; on second-category climbs, five riders won points; on third-category climbs, only the top three riders earned points. The leadership of the mountains classification was marked by a white jersey with red polka-dots. The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. Only riders born after 1 January 1994 were eligible; the young rider best placed in the general classification was the leader of the young rider classification. There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists in a team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest cumulative time.

Cindertalk

Cindertalk is the stage and studio name of multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Jonny Rodgers, and the ever-changing group of musicians who join him for performances and recordings. He is best known for his skill in playing an array of tuned wine glasses (also known as glass harp) along with guitar, keyboards and loop pedals and has contributed to numerous albums and film scores. Biography Jonny Rodgers took the name Cindertalk in 2014 to differentiate himself from the other artists and musicians with similar names. The term "cindertalk" refers to the sound of live coals hidden in the ashes of the early morning fires he lights each day to warm his Oregon cottage. Cindertalk's songs and live show are based around the combination of tuned wine glasses, guitar, loops, electronics and vocals. The New York Times' Allan Kozinn called Cindertalk's live show "a stunning demonstration of what can be done with tuned wine glasses.” Jonny is also a composer and producer, writing chamber, orchestral and choral music for concert and film. His most recent film credits include providing guitar for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Don Jon", glass and glass samples on "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" and he wrote the complete score for indie film My Brother Jack. Jonny's formative musical years were spent writing, touring and recording with his brother Steve Rodgers in the indie band Mighty Purple. The band released seven albums and toured the US multiple times. Literature and art run in Jonny's family including novelists and authors like his grandfather Joseph Chilton Pearce and great-uncle Richard Yates. Jonny collaborates with many renowned musicians from the worlds of classical and indie music. He has played for the bands Son Lux, NYC's classical-crossover band Awry (now My Brightest Diamond), Ten Shekel Shirt, Faux Fix, Todd Reynolds, Sxip Shirey, Arturo En El Barco, Angélica Negrón and many others. He has also collaborated with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's open-collaborative production company HitRECord. His latest album, Everything All at Once prominently features tuned wine glasses, guitars and electronics with loops used in unexpected and captivating ways. The album was released on Oct 8, 2013 on [Epitonic] and Jonny subsequently toured the US with Radical Face. For Record Store Day 2014, Cindertalk will be releasing a limited edition 7" vinyl called Spero which will help support Love146 and their efforts to end child trafficking and modern slavery. Jonny currently splits his time between Brooklyn, New Haven, CT and a farm in Oregon.

Tennessee Board of Parole

The Tennessee Board of Parole, formerly known as the Tennessee Board of Pardons and Paroles and Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole, is the state parole board in Tennessee. Description The Board of Parole is an independent state agency led by seven board members appointed by the Governor. The Board has authority under state statute to issue parole to offenders who have served a certain percentage of their sentences, as well as to revoke parole privileges for parolees who fail to follow the rules and standards established for them as conditions of release. The Board also receives and considers requests for executive clemency and makes recommendations to the Governor on the disposition of these requests. Charles Traughber is chairman of the Board of Parole. Except for a two-year period from December 1985 to December 1987, he has served on the Board since 1972. He was its chairman from 1972 to 1976, from 1977 to 1979, and from 1988 to present. History The agency was established in 1961 as a division of the Tennessee Department of Correction, headed by a three-member Board of Probation and Paroles that consisted of the Commissioner of Correction and two part-time board members. The board was expanded to five members in 1963; in 1970 the Commissioner of Correction ceased being a member. In 1972, legislation enacted by the 86th Tennessee General Assembly created the Tennessee Board of Pardons and Paroles as a full-time board of three members. Members were to be appointed for six-year terms, with staggered terms of two, four, and six years for the initial appointments. Governor Winfield Dunn appointed Charles Traughber as the first chairman and Dorothy Greer and Joseph Mitchell as the other charter members. In the 1970s, the Board of Pardons and Paroles had a central role in the cash-for-clemency scandal in the administration of Governor Ray Blanton. Marie Ragghianti, whom Blanton had appointed to chair the Board of Pardons and Paroles, was removed from her position as chairwoman in August 1977 after she refused a request to release certain prisoners who were later found to have bribed members of the Blanton administration to obtain their release. Ragghianti's story later gained national attention as the subject of Peter Maas' book Marie and the 1985 movie of the same name. In July 2012, probation responsibilities were transferred from the Board to the Department of Correction. As a result of this change in its responsibilities, the Board of Probation and Parole was renamed the Board of Parole.

SOLID

In software engineering, SOLID is a mnemonic acronym for five design principles intended to make object-oriented designs more understandable, flexible, and maintainable. The principles are a subset of many principles promoted by American software engineer and instructor Robert C. Martin, first introduced in his 2000 paper Design Principles and Design Patterns discussing software rot. The SOLID ideas are The Single-responsibility principle: "There should never be more than one reason for a class to change." In other words, every class should have only one responsibility. The Open–closed principle: "Software entities ... should be open for extension, but closed for modification." The Liskov substitution principle: "Functions that use pointers or references to base classes must be able to use objects of derived classes without knowing it." See also design by contract. The Interface segregation principle: "Clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they do not use." The Dependency inversion principle: "Depend upon abstractions, [not] concretions." The SOLID acronym was introduced later, around 2004, by Michael Feathers. Although the SOLID principles apply to any object-oriented design, they can also form a core philosophy for methodologies such as agile development or adaptive software development.

St. Louis Community College–Forest Park

St. Louis Community College–Forest Park (also known as STLCC-Forest Park, and Forest Park) is a public community college in St. Louis, Missouri. It is one of the four schools of the St. Louis Community College System and is one of nine community colleges in Greater St. Louis. Over 8,200 students attend Forest Park, making it the second largest community college in Missouri. History Before STLCC-Forest Park existed, its campus had been the site of an amusement park known as Forest Park Highlands, which opened in the late 19th century and was destroyed in July 1963 by a major fire that started at one of the park's restaurants. Classes began at Forest Park in 1967, two years after a $47.2 million bond issue was approved to pay for construction across the Junior College District (JCD) of St. Louis-St. Louis County and five years after the district itself was approved by voters. The Forest Park campus was completed in 1970. In 1976, the JCD changed its name to St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley, Forest Park and Meramec. In 1999, the Jack E. Miller Hospitality Studies Center opened at Forest Park, with "state-of-the-art facilities for culinary arts." On September 24, 2009, a suspicious package was found in a men's restroom in the D Building. It was removed by the St. Louis Police Department Bomb and Arson Squad. The next day, the police announced that the package had contained a live bomb and would have caused "moderate to heavy damage" if it had exploded. Campus STLCC-Forest Park is an urban campus, located next to I-64/U.S. Route 40 in the Forest Park area of St. Louis. The campus is close to two MetroLink Light rail stations at Forest Park-DeBaliviere and Central West End Programs STLCC-Forest Park is known for its allied health care education. Major programs include Associate in Applied Science Degrees including: Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Assisting, Respiratory Therapy Polysomnography, and Clinical Laboratory Technology. STLCC-Forest Park offers number of construction-related degrees in Automotive Technology, Building Inspection & Code Enforcement Technology, Plumbing Design Engineering Technology, and Fire Protection Technology. Forest Park has the Jack Miller Hospitality Studies Program which prepares students for the hospitality industry, including programs in Culinary Arts, Baking and Pastry Arts and Hotel Management. Practical culinary courses include intense studies in the process of making chocolate. Career courses leading to a Class A CDL (Commercial Drivers License) are offered, with driver training facilities on campus. Humanities programs in drama, theater production, music, fine art and commercial art attract many students. The campus is home to the Mildred E. Bastian Center for the Performance Arts. An associate degree program in Funeral Sciences is offered. Athletics STLCC operates as a single entity in athletic competition; Forest Park students are permitted to participate if eligible. Forest Park serves as "home court" for Men's and Women's Basketball. STLCC teams are called "Archers". Prior to STLCC consolidating athletic programs under one banner, STLCC-Forest Park was known as the Highlanders. Notable alumni Josh Outman, former Major League Baseball player.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shizhoupian

Shizhoupian

The Shizhoupian () is the first known Chinese dictionary, and was written in the ancient Great Seal script. The work was traditionally dated to the reign of King Xuan of Zhou (827–782 BCE), but many modern scholars assign it to the State of Qin in the Warring States period (c. 475–221 BCE). The text is no longer fully extant, and it is now known only through fragments. History The Shizhoupian dictionary, which was probably compiled sometime between 700 BCE to 200 BCE, originally consisted of 15 chapters ( piān), but six were lost by the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han (25–56 CE) and the other nine chapters, except for scattered references, were lost by the Jin dynasty (266–420). Title Until recently, it was thought that the dictionary title referred to Shǐ Zhòu ( "Historian Zhou"), who allegedly served as Grand Historian (Tàishǐ 太史) in the court of Western Zhou King Xuan (r. 827–782 BCE). Both the c. 78 CE "Treatise on Literature" chapter of the Book of Han and the 121 CE Shuowen Jiezi postface record that King Xuan's "Historian Zhou" compiled the Shizhoupian. The philologist Wang Guowei (1877–1927) disputed this traditional account with epigraphical evidence that the structure and style of the Shizhoupian characters did not match inscriptions from the Western Zhou period. Wang also doubted that zhòu () was a person's surname, interpreting it to mean dú (, "to study and understand the meaning of books; to read"), and concluded the dictionary title was likely taken from the first sentence Taishi zhoushu (, "the Grand Historian reads the records"). The linguist Táng Lán (, 1901–1979) hypothetically identified Shi Zhou (, "Historian Zhou"), who is only recorded in Shizhoupian contexts, with the differently named Shi Liu (, Historian Liu) listed in the Book of Han chapter on "Notable Persons Past and Present". In the Zhengzhang system of Old Chinese reconstructions these two words were pronounced *l'ɯwɢs () and *m·ru (). An ancient ding tripodal cauldron in the collection of the Shanghai Museum mentioned a Historian Liu from the correct historical period. Modern scholars believe that zhou () does not refer to a person, but means "read; chant". The lexicographer Liu Yeqiu () suggested that the word shi () may refer to the title given to students in ancient times who could recite 9,000 characters, with the title thus translated as "Shi (Reciters') Chants". Zhou script The term zhòuwén (, Zhou Script) refers to the 220-some examples of ancient characters from the Shizhoupian that are quoted in the Han dynasty character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi. The zhouwen characters have been described as generally symmetrical and balanced, and are on average (although not always) more complex than the later seal characters. They contain many swirls and circles in place of later squared or rectilinear forms. References Sources (English translation of Wénzìxué Gàiyào , Shangwu, 1988.) . Hànyǔ Dà Zìdiǎn, 1992.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballarat%20Reform%20League

Ballarat Reform League

The Ballarat Reform League came into being in October 1853 and was officially constituted on 11 November 1854 at a mass meeting of miners in Ballarat, Victoria to protest against the Victorian government's mining policy and administration of the goldfields. As with the Bendigo protests the previous year (the Red Ribbon Rebellion), the primary objective of the League was to oppose the Miner's Licence. The League also strove for justice for James Scobie, a Scottish miner who had recently been murdered outside Bentley's Hotel in Eureka, and for the release of three miners who had been wrongly imprisoned for burning down the hotel. John Basson Humffray was elected secretary of the League. He urged civil disobedience to resist the government. But, when tensions boiled over on 30 November 1854, his pacifist strategy was overturned and the miners opted to use arms to fight the authorities. The miners elected Peter Lalor as their commander, although he had no military experience. Lalor led them to build a defensive stockade on 2 December 1854 and to use weapons to defend themselves against the military force sent to quell them on 3 December 1854. The actions of the League were reported in sensational and inflammatory terms by Henry Seekamp, editor and owner of the local newspaper, the Ballarat Times, Buningyog and Creswick Advertiser. Propaganda such as posters calling meetings was also printed by Seekamp's office. Precursors The leaders of the Ballarat Reform League used the models of many recent protest movements to shape their organization and prepare their petition. As shown on the web site of the Museum of Australian Democracy, Milestones in Australian Democracy these precursors included the following: 1837-1848: the British Chartists, who produced the first of four People’s Charters in 1838 1848: various European revolutions 1848: the NSW Constitutional Association 1850: the Australian League Additional inspiration for the League came from nationwide debate about Electoral reform: the new Victorian Legislative Council that first met on 11 July 1851, would eventually (in 1856) include in the Victorian Constitution the introduction of the secret ballot, as pioneered in Victoria by the former mayor of Melbourne, William Nicholson and simultaneously in South Australia by William Boothby. In 1853, perhaps the most direct influence on the League was the Anti-Gold Licence Association that had been formed in another Victorian goldfield, Bendigo, on 6 June. The Association's protests became known as the Red Ribbon Rebellion, since at the public meetings in June and July the thousands of miners who gathered all wore red ribbons in their hats, to highlight their solidarity. The Anti-Gold Licence Association prepared a petition that was endorsed by more than 20,000 people from Bendigo and surrounding goldfields such as Castlemaine and Ballarat. La Trobe was presented with the document on 1 August 1853. As stated in the copy of the manuscript shown on the eGold web site, at its heart were six claims for improved conditions. It requested the government: First: To direct that the Licence Fee be reduced to Ten Shillings a Month Secondly: To direct that Monthly or Quarterly Licenses be issued at the option of the Applicants Thirdly: To direct that new arrivals or invalids be allowed on registering their names at the Commissioners Office fifteen clear days residence on the Gold Fields before the License be enforced Fourthly: To afford greater facility to Diggers and others resident on the Gold Fields who wish to engage in Agricultural Pursuits for investing their earnings in small allotments of land Fifthly: To direct that the Penalty of Five Pounds for non-possession of License be reduced to One Pound Sixthly: To direct that (as the Diggers and other residents on the Gold Fields of the Colony have uniformly developed a love of law and order) the sending of an Armed Force to enforce the License Tax be discontinued. (eGold, The Bendigo Goldfields Petition 1853) Fourteen months later, the Ballarat Reform League's Charter resembled the Bendigo Petition in its demands concerning miners' rights. The documents differ in that the Petition begins with a clear statement of the problems caused by the lack of rights, whereas the Charter opens with aspirational statements about universal political equality; and the Petition avowed loyalty to Britain, whilst the Charter openly threatened the seizure of independence. Leaders of the Ballarat Reform League Wright, reporting in the Canberra Times in 1953, for the centenerary of the rebellion, describes the main characters in the story: George Black, a well-educated Englishman was editor of the "Digger's Advocate." Through his paper he worked to form the diggers into a cohesive group which would resist oppressive laws. A Welshman, John Basson Humffray, took the conservative view and believed the solution should be gained by constitutional means. Frederic Vern, a Hanoverian, was full of fine talk about righting wrongs and because of the noise he made, was wrongly believed by the Government to be directing the forces. But the man who held the loyalty of the diggers was Peter Lalor, an Irish engineer. Because of his courage and integrity he was a man whom other men would follow loyally. The most picturesque personality among the leaders was an Italian, Raffaello Carboni, and it is to his dynamic and emotional narrative that we owe much of the detail of those bitter days. The sixth man, Timothy Hayes, was an Irishman and a rousing speaker. (Canberra Times, 29 November 1953, p. 4) On the other hand, Hocking lists the leaders of the League as: Henry Holyoake, a London chartist George Black, a well-educated Englishman who published the Diggers Advocate The more moderate Welshman J B Humffray The German Frederick Vern who promoted ‘red republicanism' Tom Kennedy, the Scottish chartist, was in favour of direct and physical action (Hocking p. 170) The Charter The manifesto of the Ballarat Reform League can be seen in its original manuscript form, and in transcription, at the Public Records Office of Victoria (PROV) in Melbourne, from where it is also available online. It has come to be known as the Ballarat Reform League Charter, but at the time of writing the document was labeled by its writers as 27 Nov. 1854 Resolutions passed at a Public Meeting on Bakery Hill Ballarat. Within the document it refers to itself as "this prospectus". It is often unclear because: - unlike its predecessor the Bendigo Petition, the Charter suffers from a loss of focus, veering from minor practical demands, such as a tent for administration premises, to grandiose threats that the colony will secede from Britain and the rule of Queen Victoria. - the document is written in quasi-legal terminology and is sometimes illogical, with such statements as "the Reform League will endeavor to supersede such Royal Prerogative by asserting that of the People which is the most Royal of all Prerogatives". - whilst claiming to express the "principles and objects" of the Ballarat Reform League, it soon becomes way-laid with cavilling at the authorities. Despite these flaws, the Charter has enjoyed a glowing reputation ever since Seekamp's claim in the Ballarat Times of 18 November 1854, that the League was "nothing more or less than the germ of Australian independence" that would "change the dynasty of this country". One of the aspirational statements made in the Charter lists "Political changes contemplated by the Reform League: 1. A full and fair representation 2. Manhood suffrage 3. No property qualification of Members for the Legislative Council. 4. Payment of Members 5. Short duration of Parliament." (Page 2 of Charter) These points are a re-statement of five of the six points of the British Chartists People's Charter 1838, whose sixth point, the secret ballot, is not mentioned in the Ballarat Reform League's Charter. In summary the Charter consists of three sections with the following components: Ultimate goals: the right to vote to be given to all men, parliamentary terms to be shortened, members of parliament to be paid and to be able to stand for election regardless of property ownership Immediate demands: Commissioners of the Gold Fields Commission to be sacked; licences for gold diggers and storekeepers to be discontinued; the Reform League to be given premises (a tent) and administrative authority Additional complaints: censure of the disrespectful attitude of officials of the Gold Fields Commission; mistrust of politicians in Parliament; disapproval of the process establishing the Board of Enquiry Contemporary views of the League Contemporary historians such as O'Lincoln and Headon and Uhr caution against the romanticism and the cult status that have frequently been attached to Eureka and its leaders. Headon and Uhr take as examples works by poets, playwrights and fiction writers, such as Henry Lawson’s poem of 1889, Eureka, Leslie Haylen’s play Blood on the wattle, of 1948, and Henry Handel Richardson's The Fortunes of Richard Mahony: Australia Felix of 1917. They also note that politicians from the left as well as the right have not hesitated to mould the story to suit their ideologies. According to Hocking, it was not idealism but the exhaustion of Eureka's alluvial gold, amenable to their methods of deep mining, that drove the miners to desperate measures. While there certainly were many disaffected diggers who did harbour truly revolutionary ideals, for most their resistance was rooted in economic reality and a distaste for arbitrary and perverse ‘justice’. (Hocking, p. 162) Manning Clark (1999, p.136) condemned the excessive reverence given to Eureka as being "the great Australian illusion". Geoffrey Blainey acknowledges that "we all barrack for Ballarat, we sympathise with the miners, and see largely through their spectacles" (Baliney, 1998, p. 18.) but he says that this partiality can cause us to manipulate the story and "make history do its handsprings" Reinforcing the point that the Ballarat Reform League was important but not seminal, Blainey adds The incentives and fears promoting democracy in Australia were already high before the Eureka Stockade quickened the movement towards popular control of Victoria’s new parliament.

The Blood Stained Route Map () is a 2004 North Korean film directed by Phyo Kwang. Set during the Goryeo period, the film tells the story of a family who fight together to protect the Dokdo islets (Liancourt Rocks) against Japanese invaders. Plot The Blood Stained Route Map received its South Korean premiere in 2005, where it was one of three North Korean films shown at the Special Screening section of the Jeonju International Film Festival, held from 28 April–6 May. Hwang Kyun-min, coordinator of the section, regarded the screening as being "timely since the issue of [Dokdo] is very controversial now." It later became the first North Korean film to be screened at the outdoor plaza in front of Seoul City Hall, when it was shown on 1 July 2005 as part of the buildup to the Daejong Film Festival.

Knife play

Knife play is a form of consensual BDSM edgeplay involving knives, daggers, and swords as a source of physical and mental stimulation. Knives are typically used to cut away clothing, scratch the skin, remove wax after wax play, or simply provide sensual stimulation. Knife play can also be a form of temperature play or body modification. Knife play is sometimes, but not always, a form of fear play. The "victim" in some cases, is shown a sharp implement, and then blindfolded, and a blunt knife used on their skin (for example: the practice of insertive sex play without the certain knowledge of the submissive that an exchange of implements—blunt for sharp—has occurred. This is a form of fear play, yet it still maintains some degree of safety). For some, knife play can be highly erotic, as the physical and psychological reactions can be intense. It is also an activity that takes a great amount of care to learn properly. As with any sort of edge play that can potentially draw blood, there is the risk of passing diseases along. Also, there is the risk of cutting the wrong spot and causing excessive blood loss, or accidental stabbing. References Miranda Austin and Sam Atwood (2005). The Toybag Guide to Erotic Knifeplay.

Dan McKeown

Dan McKeown (born 1954) is an American, Philadelphia-based record producer, who has gained international fame with his music and television productions. His credits include artists such as Billy Paul, The Intruders, Dee Dee Sharp, The Trammps, Frankie Smith, plus the Philly rockers Hit the Ground Runnin, and many more. Life and career Hit the Ground Runnin's first album Sudden Impact, produced by McKeown and Paul Piccari, holds the title as the most sought-after rock album in the world, selling on eBay for an average price of $1,088. In 2001, an original copy with autographs sold for $1,950.00. McKeown also worked with long-time friend Michael Nise in Camden, New Jersey, where he was in charge of the entertainment division for the television shows Dancin' on Air and Dance Party USA. He also composed and recorded the theme songs for both shows at Powerhouse Studio, which he built and managed from 1981 through 1992. The 1983 version of the Dancin' on Air theme was released as a single on both a picture disc and 45 RPM on the Wordan label, owned by The Tonight Show's band leader Doc Severinsen, and also co-owned by the show's producer Michael Nise. His musical compositions were used on national commercials from J.C. Penney's, Owens Corning and also made an appearance on a Bud Light commercial during the 1997 Super Bowl, in which he did an impromptu beat-box scat that was seen by millions. McKeown was also seen and heard on many television and radio commercials during the 1980s and 1990s, appearing in auto infomercials in the Philadelphia Tri-State area such as Miami Motor's, Jeff D'Ambrosio, Desimone's, and Auto Depot. In May 1985, a two city block in Philadelphia was destroyed due to the police bombing a bunker on top of a row home on Osage Ave., occupied by the back to Africa group MOVE. Families were left homeless and in need of support for food and shelter. Looking to provide support, Nise reached out to McKeown to write and produce a song that could be sold to raise money for the victims. Within one day, McKeown penned "In the Name of Brotherly Love" and booked a week-long recording session at which over 150 artists, news and television personalities including disc jockeys and musicians from Philadelphia volunteered their talent for this project. The record was so successful in raising funds, McKeown and Nise received an award from the city of Philadelphia presented by the city's then mayor Wilson Goode, making national and international press. McKeown also worked with long time friend Billy Paul, producing such tracks as the disco version of Paul's 1972 hit song "Me and Mrs. Jones". In 2005 - 2007, McKeown produced a podcast with Paul along with his wife and soulmate Blanche Williams called "Philly Sounds and Beyond". McKeown produced one of the last songs recorded by Paul in 2009 titled "What's Wrong With This Picture", a track written for him by Michael McDonald. From 1980 through 2018, McKeown was also employed with the military division of Boeing Defense, Space & Security in Philadelphia, where he worked as a representative in Product Support and a Program Manager in New Business. He received multiple awards from the company and Army customer for his contributions in cost avoidance, creating processes that are still in use since his retirement after 38 years of service. In 1984, McKeown had mitigated an emergent issue for a couple of CH-47D aircraft in Korea, both needing Aft Pylon Assemblies with a manufacturing lead time of over two years. Knowing that similar parts from a Boeing CH-47 Chinook aircraft were being scrapped during the Chinook modernization program, McKeown found out that the scrapped parts could immediately resolve the customer's problem. McKeown's actions resulted with a successful mission, making national news including a letter from the Pentagon commending him on his support. He was also visited by Boeing's then president Mal Stamper, who presented him with a large cash award for his dedication and thinking out of the box. Since his retirement, McKeown has been working with long time friend, Tony Bongiovi, where he is currently involved in a new and revolutionary audio technology, created by Bongiovi and his current company Bongiovi Acoustics, located in South Florida. But after spending over 45 years in the entertainment business, he still gets opportunities to produce music for movies, radio and television, while spending the other half of his time with his extended family.

Oakmere Hall

Oakmere Hall is a large house to the southwest of the villages of Cuddington and Sandiway, Cheshire, England, near the junction of the A49 and A556 roads. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It was originally a private house and later became a rehabilitation centre and hospital. It has since been divided into residential apartments. History The house is dated 1867 and was designed by John Douglas. It was the most ambitious of Douglas' early works and one of the largest houses he designed. Douglas also designed the two entrance lodges. It had been built for John & Thomas Johnson, merchants and chemical manufacturers of Runcorn. However they lost all their ships in the blockade of Charleston in 1865 and subsequently became bankrupt. The house was bought from them by John Higson, a Liverpool merchant, who became the house's first resident. He was followed by John Hayes Higson and then by Captain William Higson, the head of Higson's Brewery in Liverpool. The last owner was Charles James Lamb, a shipping merchant in Manchester who died in 1942. In 1943 the house was bought by the Miners’ Welfare Commission and it became a rehabilitation centre for injured miners. In 1951 it became part of the National Health Service, initially for rehabilitation for people injured in industrial accidents, and later for rehabilitation for all groups of people, including children. It has been converted into flats. Architecture Exterior The house is built in freestone from Lancashire in French Gothic style with roofs of Westmorland slate. It is in two storeys with a nine-bay west (garden) front. The entrance is behind a two-storey porte-cochère which has been finished as a gatehouse. This is flanked by octagonal pilasters which end as turrets and on the first floor there is an oriel window. At the right of the west (entrance) front is a circular projection with a tall conical roof and at the left end is an octagonal turret with a tall pyramidal roof. The east front includes a massive three-storey tower with an embattled parapet and a truncated pyramidal roof with a wrought iron balustrade. The tower has an additional octagonal turret. Interior In the original ground-floor plan, the porte-cochère led into the entrance hall with the staircase hall on its right. To the right of these were two drawing rooms and in front of halls, overlooking the garden, was the dining room. To the left were the servants' quarters with a billiard room at the extreme left on the first floor. Considerable alterations were made in the 20th century to the interior of the house to adapt it for its later purposes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee%20Party

Jubilee Party

The Jubilee Party of Kenya was the ruling political party of the Republic of Kenya from 2016 until 13 September 2022. The party was founded on 8 September 2016, following the merger of 11 smaller parties. During the 2017 election, the Jubilee Party secured a plurality of seats in Parliament and the party leader, Uhuru Kenyatta, was re-elected president. Ideology The party pledges "devolution of power, protection of minorities and the marginalised, and non-discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, ethnicity or any other bias." Background Leadership The party leader is Uhuru Kenyatta, the former president of Kenya. The deputy party leader was formerly William Ruto, who served as deputy president of Kenya during Kenyatta's tenure. The head of the Party Secretariat is Raphael Tuju, a former politician and Member of Parliament for Rarieda Constituency. The officials were named during the party's first National Governing Council (NGC) meeting held at the Bomas of Kenya auditorium, in November 2016. Each of the political parties that merged had elected leaders at different levels of government, as follows: Membership Membership of the party is acquired by application, recommendation, nomination and registration. On payment of the prescribed fee, a member is issued a membership number in digital form and a smart card. The card is proof of membership and contains the name, identity number and mobile phone number. While the card was intended to prevent fraud during party primaries and nominations before the general election of 2017, those without the card were still able to vote in the primaries if they had a Kenyan identity card. History Founding The Jubilee Party is considered to be the successor of the Jubilee Alliance. The Jubilee Alliance was a political alliance established in January 2013 to support Kenyatta's presidential campaign. Under President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Jubilee Alliance governed through a party coalition. However, the stability of this system was threatened by tribalism and disagreements between parties. In 2016, the Jubilee Alliance's leadership, including President Kenyatta, decided to transition from a coalition government to a single unified party, the Jubilee Party. The new party was formed from the principal members of the Jubilee Alliance's previous coalition, as well as new political parties. These founding parties were: Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) Alliance Party of Kenya (APK) United Republican Party (URP) Grand National Union (GNU) New FORD–Kenya (NFK) FORD People (FP) United Democratic Forum (UDF) Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU) Republican Congress (RC) The National Alliance (TNA)[5] The Independence Party (TIP) The party merger was made official on 7 September 2016, when all involved parties held their respective National delegates Conferences (NDC). The new political party was announced to the public at a ceremony held at the Safaricom Kasarani Stadium on 8 September 2016. 2017 general election The Jubilee Party was one of the primary competitors during Kenya's 2017 general elections. The election was preceded by multiple acts of violence, challenging the lawfulness of the elections. Deputy President Ruto's house was attacked by a single intruder, who killed a guard in the process. In addition, Christopher Msando, a senior election official, was found murdered only a few days before voting began. His death raised concerns, both domestically and abroad, regarding the possibility of electoral fraud. After months of campaigning, elections were held on 8 August 2017. The Jubilee Party made significant gains in the 2017 General election, winning 140 of 290 parliamentary seats, 25 of 47 County women representatives seats, 24 of 47 senatorial seats, and 25 of the 47 governors. The party's candidate and the incumbent president, Uhuru Kenyatta, won the election by a comfortable margin, receiving 8,223,369 which was 54.17% against ODM leader Raila Odinga who garnered 6,822,812 which translates to 44.94% of the total votes cast. However, the results of the first election were annulled by the Supreme Court of Kenya following a successful petition from the runner-up, Raila Odinga, who questioned the authenticity of the official vote. A second election was held on 26 October, which Odinga boycotted, citing his desire for electoral reform. Opposition protests in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa were banned by the Jubilee Party in the weeks leading up to the second election. With no formal opposition, the Jubilee ticket received a near unanimous percentage of the vote, ensuring Kenyatta's victory. Large protests broke out soon after the results of the second round of voting were announced. Protesters suggested that the original election had been rigged by the Jubilee Party, allegations which the government denied. These protests, while far more subdued than the crisis following the 2007 elections, resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians. According to Amnesty International, at least 33 of these deaths were attributed to Kenyan police. 2019 party infighting In January 2019, the Jubilee Party experienced a significant amount of political infighting, beginning when interim vice-chairman David Murathe resigned from the party. His resignation was a response to the 2022 Presidential election, which had been the primary focus of party debate. In particular, the Jubilee Party had been internally divided over its support of Deputy President Ruto as the official party candidate. The struggle led to the politicization of government initiatives, resulting in delays in public infrastructure programs, such as dam construction, as well as anti-corruption efforts targeting Ruto. Some experts expressed concerns that the growing schism within the party could reignite ethnic conflict within the Rift Valley region. Mass ethnic violence has occurred in the region previously, in the aftermath of the 2007 election results, during which 650 people were killed, and tens of thousands were internally displaced. In the following months, the situation within the party worsened. In the aftermath of Murathe's resignation, Secretary-General Tuju announced an expansion in party offices and infrastructure, as well as promising to hold party meetings and elections. However, party leadership was either unable or unwilling to carry out these commitments. As a result of infighting, the Jubilee's Party's position over the nation's politics weakened. The number of party applications skyrocketed, with over 30 parties forming since the 2017 election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFCreator

PDFCreator

PDFCreator is an application for converting documents into Portable Document Format (PDF) format on Microsoft Windows operating systems. It works by creating a virtual printer that prints to PDF files, and thereby allows practically any application to create PDF files by choosing to print from within the application and then printing to the PDFCreator printer. In addition to PDFCreator Free, there are three business editions with additional features: PDFCreator Professional, PDFCreator Server and PDFCreator Terminal Server. Since 2009, PDFCreator has included closed source adware, toolbars and other software that is installed by default. Implementation The application is written in Microsoft C# and released to the public at no charge. It works with 64-bit and 32-bit Windows versions including Windows 11. The actual PDF generation is handled by Ghostscript, which is included in the setup packages. Besides being installed as a virtual printer, PDFCreator can be associated with .ps files to manually convert PostScript to PDF format. PDFCreator can convert to the following file formats: PDF (including PDF/A (PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b and PDF/A-3b) and PDF/X (X-3:2002, X-3:2003 and X-4)), PNG, JPEG, TIFF, TXT. It also allows to digitally sign PDF documents. PDFCreator allows any COM enabled application to make use of its functionality. The business editions of PDFCreator allow users to write their own C# scripts with access to the entire job data. These custom scripts can be integrated directly before and after the conversion. They have full access to the .NET-framework and can reference compatible external libraries. PDFCreator allows the user to disable printing, copying of text or images and modifying the original document. The user can also choose between two types of passwords, user and owner, to restrict PDF files in several ways. The former is required to open the PDF file, while the latter is necessary in order to change permissions and password. Encryption can be either Low (128 Bit), Medium (128 Bit AES) or High (256 Bit AES), with the latter only being available in the PDFCreator Business editions. PDFCreator provides the possibility for automating certain tasks, for example with the help of user tokens. These placeholders for values, like today’s date, username, or e-mail address can be helpful when printing many similar files like invoices. With PDFCreator users can verify their authorship of a document with digital signatures. This feature is part of all PDFCreator editions, including PDFCreator Free. Starting with version 0.9.6, there is full support for Windows Vista and version 0.9.7 provides support for Windows 7. Starting with version 3.0.0, PDFCreator ended support for Windows XP. Starting with version 4.4.0 there is full support for Windows 11. Editions PDFCreator is open source and freeware. The code can be downloaded and modified. In addition to PDFCreator Free there are three commercial editions. All of them allow administrators to predefine specific settings centrally with the easy management of user groups. PDFCreator ProfessionalThis version can be installed silently in Windows domains, which is not possible in PDFCreator Free. PDFCreator Terminal Server It has been developed for the use on Windows Servers with installed Remote Desktop Service and on Citrix Servers. Print jobs can be assigned securly to separate user sessions. Only one license key is needed per terminal server and it is valid for an ulimited number of users. PDFCreator Server This works as Windows service application. It allows the central management of settings and users for administrator. Additionally, it lets the user share PDFCreator printers in their network, auto-convert without user interaction and it offers high performance through multi-threading. Adware toolbar controversy Between 2009 and 2013 the installation package included a closed-source browser toolbar that was considered by many users to be malicious software. Although technically an optional component, the opt-out procedure used to be a two-step process (prior to version 1.2.3), which was considered by many to be intentionally confusing. In addition to the spyware activity described below, the toolbar allowed one-click creation of PDFs from the current webpage and included a search tool. As of version 1.2.3, the opt-out procedure only required unchecking one checkbox during the installation process. Starting with version 0.9.7 (February 2009), PDFCreator included an adware toolbar. The end-user-license agreement for PDFForge Toolbar by Spigot, Inc. (versions prior to 0.9.7 have a different, optional toolbar called "PDFCreator Toolbar"), states that the software will: Pdfforge, which created PDFCreator, wrote an FAQ entry regarding the toolbar that stated: Since that time various versions of PDFCreator have included adware toolbars and other software with the installer, which many virus scanners identify as problematic or undesired software. In March 2012 the company announced that the toolbar had been discontinued with version 1.3.0. The company stated: As of 23 March 2012, PDFCreator included the MyStart toolbar by Incredibar. On 13 June 2012, PDFCreator once again included another controversial bundled software package, which tests as spyware, called SweetIM. In July 2012 the project disabled reviews and ratings on its sourceforge repository. On 30 August 2012, PDFCreator version 1.5.0 was released which included an installer for the "AVG Security Toolbar." There was an option to disable installation of the "AVG Security Toolbar, but it was not clearly identified. Furthermore, installation of PDFCreator required acceptance of the AVG EULA even when installation of the "AVG Security Toolbar" was disabled. On 23 October 2012, PDFCreator version 1.5.1 was released which includes an installer for iClaro Search. Compared to previous adware choices, once installed, iClaro cannot be removed using the "Add/Remove Programs" option. On 14 January 2013, PDFCreator version 1.6.2 was released which includes an installer for Install Entrusted Toolbar. The setup screen for Install Entrusted Toolbar has a single option in black font. The description for Express (recommended) reads: In October 2013, PDFCreator was stealthily installing more software, including Amazon's Internet Explorer toolbar, without notifying the user. Awards The now defunct OpenCD project chose PDFCreator as the best free software package for creating PDF files in Windows. In August 2008, InfoWorld magazine recognized PDFCreator with an Open Source Software Award from the field of more than 50 available open source or free PDF creation applications. Both of these awards predate the inclusion of the contested spyware.

Islam in Central Sulawesi

Islam in Central Sulawesi, a province of Indonesia, is the majority religion embraced by around 75% of the population, out of a total of 2,683,722 inhabitants (2011 projection figure, based on the 2010 census). The propagators of Islam were thought to enter the Central Sulawesi through neighboring regions, namely Bone, Wajo, and Mandar from the south and west routes, and through Gorontalo and Ternate from the north and east routes via Tomini Bay and Tolo Bay. History The Islamic teachings were thought to have first spread to the region of Central Sulawesi in Buol dan Banggai, where both regions accepted Islam in the mid-16th century due to influences from Ternate. A king of Buol was noted to have an Islamic name, namely Eato Muhammad Tahir who ruled between 1540-1595. At the beginning of the 17th century, Islam began to spread in the land of the Kailis propagated by Dato Karama (his real name Abdullah Raqie), who was believed to have come from Minangkabau. Dato Karama preached in the Palu area and its surroundings, and because of him the Kaili king named Pue Njidi converted to Islam. In the Parigi and surrounding areas, another Minangkabau preacher named Dato Mangaji (also called by the local title Tori Agama) was able to invite the Parigi king named Tori Kota and his son Magau Janggo to convert to Islam. Education There is an Islamic higher education established in Central Sulawesi, the STAIN Datokarama Palu. References Central Sulawesi

He has also published two novels: Pupa (2021) and Appliance (2022). Works Each of Morgan's seven poetry volumes is a single book-length work. His fifth, Interference Pattern, was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize and his first, Natural Mechanical, won the Aldeburgh Poetry Prize in 2009. The third work, At Maldon (2014), revisits the Old English epic Battle of Maldon, detailing events that took place on the Essex coast in 991 CE. A recording of Morgan reading it was made for the Poetry Archive on 27 May 2014. He has recited the whole work from memory on several occasions. Royal Air Force involvement in maintaining the Airborne Nuclear Deterrent in the early Cold War period forms the basis for Morgan's sixth publication, Assurances (2018). It was shortlisted for the Forward Prize and won the Costa Poetry Award, when the judges praised it as "original, compelling, ambitious, highly accomplished and marvellously sustained". Morgan's most recent volume of poetry, The Martian's Regress (2020), is set in the far future. It considers "what humans become when they lose their humanity," and explores "what a fragile environment eventually makes of those who persist in tampering with it."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punta%20Gorda%2C%20Florida

Punta Gorda, Florida

Punta Gorda (; ) is a city in and the county seat of Charlotte County, Florida, United States, as well as the only incorporated municipality in the county. As of the 2010 U.S. Census the city had a population of 16,641. Punta Gorda is the principal city of the Punta Gorda, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area and is also in the Sarasota-Bradenton-Punta Gorda Combined Statistical Area. Punta Gorda was the scene of massive destruction after Charley, a Category 4 hurricane, came through the city on August 13, 2004. Charley was the strongest tropical system to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the first hurricane since Hurricane Donna in 1960 to make a direct hit on Florida's southwest coast. In the years following the storm, buildings were restored or built to hurricane-resistant building codes. The new buildings, restorations and amenities concurrently preserved the city's past while showcasing newer facilities. During this time, Laishley Park Municipal Marina was built and the Harborwalk, Linear Park and various trails were created throughout the city for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. History Early history Before the arrival of European explorers and settlers, the region centered on present-day Punta Gorda was home to the Calusa people. The name Punta Gorda ("Fat Point") has been on maps at least since 1851, referring to a point of land that juts into Charlotte Harbor, an estuary off the Gulf of Mexico. In the late 1800s, white settlers began to arrive in the present-day Punta Gorda area. Frederick and Jarvis Howard, Union Army veterans, homesteaded an area south of the Peace River near present-day Punta Gorda about a decade after the Civil War. In 1876, James and Josephine Lockhart bought land and built a house on property that is now at the center of the city. About two years later, Lockhart sold his claim to James Madison Lanier, a hunter and trapper, who lived there for two years. In 1879, a charter for a railroad with termini at Charlotte Harbor and Lake City, Florida, was established under the name Gainesville, Ocala, and Charlotte Harbor Railroad. It was taken over by the Florida Southern Railroad, which reaffirmed Charlotte Harbor as a terminus in its own charter. In 1883, Lanier sold his land to Isaac Trabue, who purchased additional property along the harbor and directed the platting of a town (by Kelly B. Harvey) named Trabue. Harvey recorded the plat on February 24, 1885. At the time, Isaac was in Kentucky, and his cousin, John Trabue, was in charge of selling lots. To ensure his development's success, Trabue convinced the Florida Southern Railway to bring its road to his town on the south side of Charlotte Harbor. The railroad rolled into Trabue in August 1886, and with it came the first land developers and Southwest Florida's first batch of tourists. Punta Gorda became the southernmost stop on the Florida Southern Railroad, until an extension was built to Fort Myers in 1904, attracting the industries that propelled its initial growth. On December 3, 1887, dissatisfied with Trabue's lack of infrastructure development, 34 townspeople met at Hector's Billiard Parlor to discuss incorporation. The group voted to incorporate and rename the town after the Spanish name for the point on which it was located, Punta Gorda. Once Punta Gorda was officially incorporated, mayoral elections took place and a council was formed. The first mayor, W. H. Simmons, was elected. Phosphate was discovered on the banks of the Peace River just above Punta Gorda in 1888. Phosphate mined in the Peace River Valley was barged down the Peace River to Punta Gorda and Port Boca Grande, where it was loaded onto vessels for worldwide shipment. In 1896, the Florida Times-Union reported that phosphate mining was Punta Gorda's chief industry and that Punta Gorda was the world's greatest phosphate shipping point. By 1907, a railroad was built direct to Port Boca Grande, ending the brief phosphate shipping boom from Punta Gorda. In 1890, Isaac Trabue appointed the first postmaster, Robert Meacham, an African American, as a deliberate affront to Kelly B. Harvey and those who had voted to change the name of the town from Trabue to Punta Gorda. The Punta Gorda Herald was founded by Robert Kirby Seward in 1893 and published weekly during its early years. The newspaper covered such events as rum-running, other smuggling activities, and lawlessness in general. It underwent many changes in both ownership and name, and today is known as The Charlotte Sun Herald. Early Punta Gorda greatly resembled the modern social climate of various classes living together and working together. While the regal Punta Gorda Hotel, at one point partly owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, reflected the upper class, Punta Gorda was a pretty rough town, like most frontier towns. Its location at the end of the railway line spiked the crime rate, resulting in approximately 40 murders between 1890 and 1904. This included City Marshal John H. Bowman, who was shot and killed in his front parlor on January 29, 1903, in view of his family. 20th century In 1925, a bungalow was built by Joseph Blanchard, an African American sea captain and fisherman. The Blanchard House Museum still stands as a museum, providing education about the history of middle-class African American life in the area. Punta Gorda maintained steady growth. Charlotte County was formed in 1921 after DeSoto County was split. Also in 1921, the first bridge was constructed connecting Punta Gorda and Charlotte Harbor along the brand-new Tamiami Trail. This small bridge was replaced by the original Barron Collier Bridge in 1931, and then by the current Barron Collier Bridge and Gilchrist Bridge crossing the Peace River. During World War II, a U.S. Army airfield was built in Punta Gorda to train combat air pilots. After the war, the airfield was turned over to Charlotte County. Today the old airfield is the Punta Gorda Airport, serving both commercial and general aviation. Punta Gorda's next intense growth phase started in 1959 with the creation of a neighborhood of canal-front home sites, Punta Gorda Isles, by a trio of entrepreneurs, Al Johns, Bud Cole and Sam Burchers. They laid out 55 miles of canals 100 feet wide and 17 feet deep using dredged sand to raise the level of the canal front land. This gave dry home sites access to the Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. Johns went on to develop several other communities in Punta Gorda, among which were Burnt Store Isles, another waterfront community with golf course, and Seminole Lakes, a golf course community. These communities provided waterfront or golf course homes for retirees with access to a downtown with shopping, restaurants, and parks. In the early 1980s at the site of the old Maud Street Fishing Docks, a new shopping, restaurant and marina complex, Fishermen's Village, was constructed that continues to be one of Southwest Florida's primary attractions. 21st century In 2004, a major hurricane, Hurricane Charley, moved through Punta Gorda, damaging many buildings, but also creating an opportunity for revitalization of both the historic downtown and the waterfront. During the first part of the 21st century, Punta Gorda continued to grow and improve, adding a new Harborwalk that continues to expand, a linear park that winds through the city, and many new restaurants and neighborhoods. A replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated on November 5, 2016. The city also features the Whispering Giant statue, a public art sculpture of the face of a Native American man and a Native American woman. On September 28, 2022, the Category 4 Hurricane Ian made landfall in Punta Gorda, resulting in severe damage throughout Florida. Coincidentally, the storm made landfall with the same wind speed (145 mph, 235 km/h) as Hurricane Charley, and its minimum barometric pressure was only one millibar less than Charley's. Historic sites There are many historic places in Punta Gorda, including ten on the National Register of Historic Places: A. C. Freeman House Charlotte High School Clarence L. Babcock House H. W.

Libraries The Punta Gorda Public Library is in Punta Gorda, and is one of four branches in the Charlotte County Library System. It was established in 1908, making it the oldest branch of the Charlotte County Library System, which was created in 1963. The library was initially contained within an Episcopal Church rectory and supervised by the vicar's wife, Theodosia Trout, until 1909. The church that first housed this library still stands across the street, under the name Church of the Good Shepherd. The library was eventually moved due to its popularity interfering with church activities. The Masonic Lodge on Sullivan Street became the library's new home due to its central location and popularity among established Punta Gorda groups and clubs, such as the Fortnightly Club and the Women's Civic Improvement Association. The library remained in the lodge until 1928, when a hurricane damaged part of the roof. Many books were destroyed, and the volumes that could be salvaged were moved to the new Women's Club building, where members adopted the library as a project. The library remained at the Women's Club building until land from the Retta Esplanade lot was donated for a new library in 1958. In 1973, the City of Punta Gorda donated the land at 424 West Henry Street for a new library. This donation was intended for a playground, but with the permission of Mrs. Paschal B. Nobles, who donated the land, construction began for the new library. On July 22, 1974, the Paschal B. Nobles-Punta Gorda Public Library opened to the public. The Punta Gorda Charlotte Library moved to a new, larger site on Shreve Street in 2019. The new library branch has features such as study niches, conference rooms, and an archive reading room. Transportation U.S. Route 41, the Tamiami Trail, runs through the center of the city, leading south to Fort Myers and northwest to Venice.

Carrie Snow

Carrie Snow (born July 16, 1953) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, author, and host from Merced, California. She is best known for writing for the television series Roseanne, and acting on the show. Snow was also featured in the documentaries The Aristocrats and Wisecracks. Snow has performed at and headlined at such stand-up venues as Caroline's, The Punch Line, The Improv (various locations), The Comedy Store, and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In addition to performing on the road, she has regularly been seen on television doing numerous stand-up ensemble shows from PBS' Comedy Tonight which she later hosted for two seasons, and An Evening at the Improv; she has also appeared as a guest on Cristina & Friends and performed her routine on numerous talk shows, such as The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, The Late Show With David Letterman, Leeza, as well as Comedy Central, of which one performance was nominated for an Emmy Award. Early life Snow was born in 1953 in Merced, CA. Born with the name Carrie Snow Peletz, she later shortened it to Carrie Snow because she felt that her given name would “look lousy on a marquee.” In the first few years of her life, Snow began to develop a difficult relationship with food. Snow identifies that these issues started when she was seven years old. Snow would continue to live with these struggles into adulthood and often incorporates these experiences into her stand-up routines. From a young age Snow was known for having an eccentric personality. In her high school yearbook peers wrote “stay as crazy as you are.” Snow attributes her wacky temperament to her parents.   After graduating from high school, Snow attended the University of California, Berkeley, studying Rhetoric. A sharp and humorous person, Snow would spend time with friends in Aquatic Park of Aquatic Park Cove dressed up as Shirley Temple selling crotchless panties to tourists. Upon graduating, Snow briefly considered going to law school and started a master's program in business administrations at California State University at Hayward (currently California State University, East Bay). She ultimately did not continue. While living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Snow worked as a receptionist at Kaiser Oakland Medical Center in Oakland, California. It was around this time that Snow first tried her hand at comedy. Career 1970s: Early Stand-up Carrie Snow began performing stand-up in the Bay Area in the late 1970s. She made her first ten dollars while performing at San Francisco's Holy City Zoo in 1978. During this time San Francisco had a robust comedy scene and the Holy City Zoo had been “a fixture on the laugh circuit since 1974.” Comedians such as Robin Williams, Warren Thomas, and Paula Poundstone also frequented this comedy club. In 1978, Snow finished 13th in a field of 40 in a local stand-up comedy competition. Snow reflects candidly on this placement as being “close, but no enchilada. The polish takes time,” recognizing that comedy takes practice. 1980s and 1990s: Stand-up, writing, and acting Still in the early stages of her career, Snow continued to perform in the Bay Area. At twenty-six years old she had been doing stand-up comedy for three years and was a regular at the Holy City Zoo. It was at this age and stage in her career that Snow saw an improvement in the time slots she received from owner Tony DePaul. Entertainment writer for the Los Angeles Times Marty Olmstead writes in 1980 that “Snow has become the golden-haired kid at the Zoo.”  Entering the San Francisco Comedy Competition again in 1982, she came in 5th at the 7th annual comedy competition. Snow was up against comedians Jim Samuels, Kevin Pollak, Jack Gallagher and Will Durst who placed first, second, third, and forth respectively. Besides performing stand-up in San Francisco, Snow worked “several nights a week emceeing a male strip show at a club called Off Broadway.” Snow traveled around the country to cities such as Las Vegas, Chicago, New York City. Snow drew from personal experiences and observations that she relayed to audiences in an imaginative style. At a show at Caroline's in New York in 1986, Variety’s New Acts section reviews that Snow "nicely creates a warped world where buying becomes “retail grazing” and any eyeliner or lipstick is replaced by a van load of cosmetics. It's when she stretched “normal” American behavior to the absurd that Carrie Snow's routine is at its best." In the early 1980s Snow moved south to Los Angeles. It was here that she began performing at comedy clubs such as The Improv and The Comedy Store, and The Laff Stop's Newport Beach, California location.   Snow developed several bits that she would continue to use and modify over her entire career. One anecdote she often shared was from a visit from her father while she was attending the University of California, Berkeley. In an early variation of this bit from an episode of An Evening at the Improv that originally aired on June 22, 1993, Snow began with her reactions to reading about Sylvia Plath's experience seeing a naked man for the first time in The Bell Jar. Snow was struck by Plath's descriptions of the man and recalls that some areas of his body reminded her of turkey necks and turkey gizzards. Playing off the audience's laughter, Snow launches into the next segment about watching Philip Kaufman's Rising Sun (1992) with her father. She humorously describes her discomfort of seeing people eat sushi off each other's bodies with her father sitting next to her. Snow concludes the joke with playful sound effects and manipulates her pronunciations as she says “And I'm not looking at my fatherrrrr and my father's not looking at meeeee” concluding in a roar of laughter from the crowd. Appearing on An Evening at the Improv Carrie Snow appeared on A&E Network's An Evening at the Improv in Los Angeles in its early years and through the 1990s. From a 1989 show at The Improv, the Los Angeles Times' Duncan Strauss comments that “Snow is low-key and conversational.” In the same article he calls her show “Pretty close to an ideal synthesis of persona, delivery and material, because while many of her topics are wholly contemporary, much of her chatty style is a throwback to the approach of earlier female comics: self-deprecating, especially about her weight and her troubled dating life.” Snow often implemented a conversational style of stand-up to comment on her family, movies, food, and body image. In one of Snow's early performances on the show from October 9, 1981, she began her performance by announcing “my name's Carrie Snow. I'm fat, but I'm hot.” Writing on Roseanne During the 1980s and 1990s Snow knew and worked with fellow comedian Roseanne Barr of Roseanne. Snow met Barr at The Comedy Store when she first came to Los Angeles in the 1980s and the women became closer through Barr's show and when Snow helped her through her gastric bypass surgery. Snow had been doing comedy for fifteen years before she began writing for Roseanne. She wrote on the show for five years, which included the last three seasons until she was fired. In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun's Allison Duck, Snow describes the writing environment and that “Roseanne writers, when we see each other, it's like we were POWs together.” While writing for Roseanne Snow briefly tried acting and realized she hated it. In the same interview with Duck, Snow recalls that “With the writing you got to be funny sitting with the writers with your feet up and as a performer you had to sit there like a piece of veal and makeup and a dress and it wasn't that much fun. My head wasn't there. It was so much fun though, to finally find out I wasn't an actress. It was very freeing for me.” Other appearances Snow was invited to shows and events outside of performing stand-up. This included talk shows and local events hosted by colleges and universities. She appeared on the short lived talk show Cristina & Friends hosted by Cristina Ferrare. On the show, Snow participated in fun and spontaneous conversations ranging from penile implants, Christmas shopping, and Snow's “new breasts”. Snow assisted immerging comics with their material. She observed a comedy program hosted by the UCLA Extension's Division of Performing and Integrated Arts. In the student competitors’ auditions at The Improv, participant Richard Rothenstein “sold a joke to comic Carrie Snow (“She spent so much time ego-tripping, she got frequent-flyer miles.”). 2000s, 2010s, and Beyond: Performing and other ventures Snow stepped away from performing in the decade between the late 1990s and early 2000s and went through “the process of reclaiming her old audience and finding a new one.” Once Snow returned from her hiatus, she continued to perform in the Los Angeles area, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas and has also taken on several projects outside of performing. Snow developed her show “From Fat to Fabulous in Just 50 Years.” Victoria Looseleaf from the Los Angeles Times describes how this “60-minute diet Odyssey tail is one that differs from traditional stand up and that it reveals--as much through affecting monologues as witty shtick--the inner Snow.” While Snow was away, she also “created a one-woman show called “Carrie Snow: 7,000 Sailors Can't Be Wrong,” a winning blend of comedy and autobiography.” Chad Jones of the East Bay Times writes in his article “Ankles Away! Svelte Snow Returns with Sassy ‘Sailors.’” that “Snow's 90-minute journey through her pain as an obese woman, her decision to have the surgery and her adjustment to life minus 100 pounds is hilarious and, in parts, moving.” In his article, Jones recognizes that “‘7,000 Sailors’ is still a work in progress. Several times during Friday's show, Snow said something fresh or funny and stopped to make a note of it in her script, which she still refers to frequently.” In the 2000s once Snow returned to performing, she appeared at venues such as The Comedy & Magic Club, The Sharky's Lounge at Paradise Casino, The Ventura Harbor Comedy Club, and The Improv at Harveys in Lake Tahoe.   In the early 2000s Snow was featured in the documentary The Aristocrats (2005). Snow recalls that in her clips she's explaining how she was friends with fellow comedian and actor Bob Saget had explained the joke to her and being let in on it was “like being anointed” into the comic community. Other ventures Outside of stand-up and performing Snow has been writing a book, My Mom's Meaner Than Your Mom: True Stories of Mean Mothers. Snow had a hard time finding the arc of the book but it's ultimately about surviving. Specifically, how she uses humor to survive and live with a mean and crazy mom. The book is done and Snow is currently looking for a publisher. Developing a line of breathing oils is another enterprise Snow has ventured into. Comedic style and Advocacy Carrie Snow uses conversational, observational, improvisational, and self-deprecation styles in her stand-up comedy. Themes and subjects range from body image and her relationship with food, her shopping tendencies, her family, and her sex life. Snow kept a joke book and recalls that she “Would write jokes down and move them to the back and that's how I would infiltrate new jokes.” In October 2015 ahead of Snow's show at The Tahoe Improv, commenting on her comedic influences, she, “talks very highly of physical comedic legends such as Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers. But she realized that being funny transcends gender saying, ‘If you are a real comic, man or woman, your act is who you are.’ But, she added, ‘I think women bring a deeper context.’” Throughout Snow's career she has been outspoken about challenges women in comedy experience. Specifically, the differences in treatment between male and female comics with booking shows, pay gaps, and comments women get on their appearances.   Speaking to her own experiences with these issues, Snow has reflected on “the money that I used to make when I thought I was making money even though it all went to diets and reupholstering myself and I think ‘oh my God they were paying the guys twenty-two times more.’ They were getting door deals, I thought that Bill Graham and everybody I thought they were my friends. They pay me like $2500 in cash and I put it in my bra and go ‘man that's livin.’ And not realizing that the guys were getting twice as much.” Snow's writing jobs have also related to her desire to see more opportunities open up for women comedians. In journalist Yale Kohen's book, We Killed: The Rise of Women in American Comedy, Snow states, “We really thought that when Roseanne got on The Tonight Show, it was going to open it up for women comics.” While writing for an appearance Barr made on The Tonight Show, she hoped that this event would inspire more opportunities for female comics, and yet it did not have the effect she'd hoped for.   Snow emerged as a stand-up comedian in the boom years of comedy. This period had gendered dynamics where writer and occasional comedian Merrill Markoe details that during the boom years “at the time, stand-up was really a man's world. Women were trying to forge way in but there wasn't much in the way of a welcoming committee.” Snow was not immune to seeing how other female comics navigated the scene and wanted to see and support more women comics. This hope for women comics connects with Snow's rocky history with The Comedy Store owner Mitzi Shore. Snow was frustrated with Shore and how her feud with Budd Friedman negatively impacted how she was booked for stand-up. Snow was one of several critics Shore had. Others included comedian Sandra Bernhard and actor Roberta Kent. Kohen asserts that “women felt like she [Shore] ghettoized them.” Today, Snow sees that “there is such a lovely generation of women that have found alternative places to perform.” Personal life Carrie Snow grew up in a Jewish family. Snow was close with her father when he was alive and her mother passed away in 2013. Snow is close with her sister Meri-Ann Lawson. In 1994 while writing for Roseanne, Snow decided to get gastric bypass surgery. Snow, “having been through the stomach surgery experience, Snow has guided a number of women through the procedure.” Including supporting Barr with the same surgery. Snow is candid about this period of her life, “Recalling a low point in the early ’90s, Snow says she didn't realize just how depressed she was until she did her laundry and ‘discovered it was all pajamas.’” Since having a gastric bypass surgery and experiencing this weight loss Snow describes the experience as getting “to be as close to a person as I have imagined.” Carrie Snow experienced a stroke in 2018. She was released from the hospital and greeted by her dog TJ upon arriving home.

Author and literary agent Bill Adler's book Funny Ladies: The Best Humor from America's Funniest Women includes Snow's one liner: “a male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car.” Snow is included in this collection of “words of advice for inspiration” along with comedians such as Mae West, Elayne Boosler, and Whoopi Goldberg. Several of Snow's one liners are also featured in The Penguin Book of Women's Humor by Regina Barreca (1996). Carrie Snow is described as a bawd in Joanne Gilbert's chapter “‘My Mom's a C***’: New Bawds Ride the Fourth Wave” in Transgressive Humor of American Women Writers. She defines bawd as being “the most overtly sexual persona of the five rhetorical postures female comics in the USA have historically assumed on stage.” Gilbert asserts that some of Snow's female contemporaries were “Emboldened by second wave—and ultimately, third wave—feminism, and more aggressive than their precursors, notable bawds of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s included the ‘Divine Miss M.,’ Bette Midler, La Wanda Page, Carrie Snow, Angela Scott, Adrienne Tolsch, Caroline Rhea, Stephanie Hodge, and Thea Vidale—all important voices that paved the way for contemporary comics like Silverman, Schumer, and Holly Lorka, who performs bawdy humor from a lesbian perspective.” References External reviews American television writers Living people People from Merced, California American women comedians American women television writers Comedians from California Screenwriters from California 1953 births 21st-century American women

Across the Line: The Exodus of Charlie Wright

Across the Line: The Exodus of Charlie Wright is a 2010 crime thriller film directed by R. Ellis Frazier and starring Aidan Quinn. Filming took place in Los Angeles, California and Tijuana, Mexico. The film follows a banker (Quinn) who escapes the U.S. with billions after he is revealed to be a fraud, as well as the authorities and mercenaries tracking him down. Plot Charlie Wright's (Aidan Quinn) business empire is revealed to be a Ponzi scheme, having taken as much as eleven billion from his clients. Leaving his office after hearing about his punishment, Wright is intercepted by FBI Agent Hobbs (Mario Van Peebles), who is unable to arrest Wright as at the moment there is not a warrant. Stalling time, Hobbs gets his warrant and Hobbs' partner Jimmy (Jordan Belfi) intercepts Wright as he pulls out of the office garage. Looking inside the car, Hobbs is dismayed to find that Wright is gone. The ensuing investigation leaves few clues as to where Wright fled. As it turns out, Charlie fled to Tijuana, Mexico, looking for a woman he abandoned two decades ago. From Mary (Claudia Ferri) he learns that the woman died years ago, but she had a daughter, named Isabel. As he searches, Jimmy, on vacation in Tijuana, is shocked to see Charlie. Hobbs is disbelieving at first, but travels to meet Jimmy anyway. Wright searches for Isabel, but finds that she has left the country illegally. Russian Mob Members Letvinko (Elya Baskin) and Borlec (Raymond J. Barry) hire mercenary Damon (Luke Goss) to go after Wright and the money he stole from the mob. Damon is given a team (Gary Daniels, Geoffrey Ross, and Bokeem Woodbine) to tail Wright with. Simultaneously, Mexican drug lord Jorge Garza (Andy Garcia), deeply indebted, kidnaps Charlie and offers protection in exchange for some of his money. Garza's son Gabriel (Danny Pino) intends to keep their hostage overnight, but is attacked by Damon's team. In the battle Charlie escapes. Charlie calls Hobbs and says he wishes to return to the U.S. The Garza's track him down and Damon's team follows. They all find Wright at a market, but before they can kidnap him Hobbs shows up and takes Charlie into his custody, and the mercenaries reluctantly leave. In a voiceover letter to Isabel, Wright discusses how he views his life as a failure. Gabriel breaks the news to a distraught Jorge, who leaves the empire in Gabriel's hands as the men he is in debt to take him away. Hobbs, keeping Wright in his car, tells Wright that he found out Wright had at most six months to live as cancer had spread through Charlie's body. Hobbs allows Wright to leave and Wright gives him the details of a bank account, presumably with the money Charlie stole. The voiceover ends as Charlie sits at a beach, at some level of peace with himself. Cast Target Aidan Quinn as Charlie Wright: A U.S. banker who scams billions and flees to Tijuana FBI Mario Van Peebles as Agent Hobbs: A relentless Agent chasing Wright Jordan Belfi as Jimmy: Hobb's partner Corbin Bernsen as FBI Director Hill: Furious with Hobbs and demanding a quick resolution to the conflict Mercenaries Luke Goss as Damon: Hired by the Russian Mob to go after Charlie Wright Gary Daniels as Michaels: The leader of a mercenary team in Tijuana, hired by Damon Bokeem Woodbine as Miller: A member of Michaels' team Geoffrey Ross as Baines: A member of Michaels' team Gangsters Raymond J.

DVD Talk was similarly critical, writing "Little asides, including various appearances from an age-reducing facial cream all the women in the film lust after, lead me to believe "Across the Line" was a phone book script reduced to a Christmas list of ideas before shooting. Depth is lacking, along with a rich sense of purpose." The film also received a review from TV Guide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African%20thrush

African thrush

The African thrush or West African thrush (Turdus pelios) is a passerine bird in the thrush family Turdidae. It is common in well-wooded areas over much of the western part of sub-Saharan Africa, it was once considered to be conspecific with the olive thrush but that species has now been split further. Populations are resident (non-migratory). Description The African Thrush has dark olive-grey upperparts. The underparts show a whitish evenly brown- streaked side throat, the breast is greyish brown and the flanks are pale buff-orange with this colour not extending on to the lower breast, the belly and vent are white. It has a yellow-orange bill. It weighs and measures in length. Voice The song of the African thrush is a sustained, clear warbling made up of different phrases repeated rather randomly in a sequence. Also a high-pitched squealing flight call. Distribution The African thrush is distributed from Senegal and Gambia in the west to South Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea south to northwestern Zambia and western Angola. Habitat The African thrush can be found in all sorts of wooded habitats including forest edge, riparian woodland, scrub cultivation, parks and gardens. Habits The African thrush is normally encountered either singly or in pairs and is shy and retiring, preferring to remain in cover, but will come out and gather at fruiting trees. Usually forages in the ground, flicking leaf litter and searching through vegetation. Where undisturbed or habituated to people will feed out in the open in a similar fashion to the song thrush in Europe, and it is also reported to crack open snails on an anvil stone like a song thrush. Foraging is crepuscular and fruit, especially that of the nim Azadarichta indica, as well as figs, papaya, berries and seeds, makes up most of the diet supplemented with invertebrates and the occasional small fish. Breeding is recorded in all months, but breeding activity peaks in the wet season, which is March to September or October in West Africa, April–July in Ethiopia and November to March in the rest of its range. The nest is cup shaped and bulky and is constructed using plant fibres and mud lined with fine grasses, leaves and roots. This nest is placed on a horizontal branch, in a tree fork or among vines, usually at a height lower than 10 m from the ground. It may re-use the abandoned nest of another species. The female is responsible for incubating the normal clutch of 2–3 eggs; both sexes feed the young. It is double brooded. Taxonomy The African thrush may be part of a superspecies with the Kurrichane thrush and the bare-eyed thrush, and some subspecies of African thrush (T.p. poensis, T.p.nigrilorum, T.p. centralis and T.p. chinguanicoides) have been considered subspecies of olive thrush. The currently recognised subspecies and their distributions are: Turdus pelios chiguancoides Seebohm, 1881: Senegal east to northern Ghana.

Livewired (book)

Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain is a non-fiction book by David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University. The book explores and extends the phenomenon of brain plasticity, with the term livewired proposed as a term to supersede plastic. As of late 2020, the book was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. A Kirkus review described the book as "outstanding popular science," while New Scientist magazine wrote that "Eagleman brings the subject to life in a way I haven’t seen other writers achieve before." Harvard Business Review wrote that Livewired "gets the science right and makes it accessible... completely upending our basic sense of what the brain is in the process." The Wall Street Journal wrote that "since the passing of Isaac Asimov, we haven't had a working scientist like Eagleman, who engages his ideas in such a variety of modes. Livewired reads wonderfully, like what a book would be if it were written by Oliver Sacks and William Gibson, sitting on Carl Sagan's front lawn.” References External links Livewired website (includes excerpts) 2020 non-fiction books Neuroscience books Popular science books Cognitive science literature Pantheon Books books Canongate Books books

Ken Knowlton

Kenneth Charles Knowlton (June 6, 1931 – June 16, 2022) was an American computer graphics pioneer, artist, mosaicist and portraitist. In 1963, while working at Bell Labs, he developed the BEFLIX programming language for creating bitmap computer-produced movies. In 1966, also at Bell Labs, he and Leon Harmon created the computer artwork Computer Nude (Studies in Perception I). Early life and education Kenneth Charles Knowlton was born to Frank and Eva (Reith) Knowlton in Springville, New York, on June 6, 1931. He completed high school one year early, then entered Cornell University to study engineering physics. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he continued to a master's degree. He completed his M.S. in 1955; the title of his thesis was "X-Ray Microscopy with a Modified RCA Electron Microscope." In 1962, Knowlton earned his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962 under the supervision of Victor Yngve. His thesis was titled "Sentence Parsing with a Self-Organizing Heuristic Program". Career In 1963, Knowlton developed the BEFLIX (Bell Flicks) programming language for bitmap computer-produced movies, created using an IBM 7094 computer and a Stromberg-Carlson 4020 microfilm recorder. Each frame contained eight shades of grey and a resolution of 252 x 184. Knowlton worked with artists, including Stan VanDerBeek and Lillian Schwartz. He and VanDerBeek created the Poem Field animations. Knowlton also created another programming language named EXPLOR (EXplicit Patterns, Local Operations and Randomness). In 1966, he prepared an animated film as an introduction to the Bell Telephone Laboratories' Low-Level Linked List Language (L6). In 1966, Knowlton and Leon Harmon were experimenting with photomosaics, creating large prints from collections of small symbols or images. In Computer Nude (Studies in Perception I) they created an image of a reclining nude (choreographer Deborah Hay), by scanning a photograph with a camera and converting the analog voltages to binary numbers, which were assigned typographic symbols based on halftone densities. It was printed in The New York Times on October 11, 1967, as the first full frontal nude published in the paper, and exhibited at one of the earliest computer art exhibitions, The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City from November 25, 1968, through February 9, 1969. The artwork in Studies in Perception also launched Robert Rauschenberg's Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). In 1969, Knowlton and Harmon continued the series with Gulls (Studies in Perception II) and Gargoyle (Studies in Perception III). Knowlton's work had been previously exhibited at Cybernetic Serendipity, an exhibition held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London from August 2 to October 20, 1968. Knowlton co-invented Ji Ga Zo with Mark Setteducati, released in the United States on March 30, 2011. Ji Ga Zo is a puzzle in which the user assembles a mosaic from 300 shaded pieces to form a digitized image from the user's own photograph. Technology historian Jim Boulton worked with Knowlton to reconstruct the algorithm used to generate Studies in Perception I, which was used to make a remastered version of the original work in 2016. As a fundraiser for Rhizome, Knowlton and Boulton used the algorithm in 2022 to generate a portrait of E.A.T. director Julie Martin, Studies in Perception IV: Julie Martin. Personal life and death Knowlton had three sons and two daughters from his first marriage to Roberta Behrens, which ended in divorce. His second wife, Barbara Bean, died before him. He died at a hospice facility in Sarasota, Florida, on June 16, 2022, ten days after his 91st birthday.

Thom Bell

Thomas Randolph Bell (born January 26, 1943) is a Jamaican-born American record producer, arranger and songwriter known as one of the creators of Philadelphia soul in the 1970s. He is best known for his success with the Philadelphia sound in the 1970s, particularly with the Delfonics, Stylistics and Spinners. In June 2006, Bell was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2016, Bell was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. Career Bell, classically trained as a musician, moved to Philadelphia as a child, and as a teenager sang with Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, and Daryl Hall (of Hall & Oates fame). Bell's first big break in soul music came with Cameo Records in Philadelphia where he worked as a session player and arranger. In 1967, he was introduced to a local group called The Delfonics, producing two singles for them on subsidiary label, Moonglow. Bell brought a mellifluous, hypnotic haut en couleur style to soul music and soon his production talents yielded several big hits for the group on the Philly Groove label, run by their manager Stan Watson. These included "La-La (Means I Love You)" and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)," the latter nominated for a Grammy Award in 1970. Bell had also joined the fast-growing record production company operated by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff in Philadelphia, working as an arranger for acts such as Jerry Butler, Archie Bell & The Drells, The O'Jays and Dusty Springfield. He arranged some of the early big hits, including the O'Jays' "Back Stabbers", on Gamble & Huff's own record label, Philadelphia International Records, which they launched in 1971. He also joined the two in setting up a music publishing company for their songs, Mighty Three Music. By 1971, Bell had moved on to produce another local group, The Stylistics, this time on Avco Records. By then, he had teamed up with the Philadelphia-born songwriter, Linda Creed and this partnership, along with Russell Thompkins, Jr., the lead singer of the Stylistics, generated three albums full of memorable tracks. Bell and Creed became one of the era's dominant soul songwriting teams, penning hits such as "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "Break Up to Make Up", "You Make Me Feel Brand New," and "I'm Stone in Love with You" (the latter with Anthony Bell). In 1972, Bell agreed to produce The Spinners for Atlantic Records. The group, who had long been with Motown Records, had joined Atlantic after failing to get the attention they wanted. It was the start of a successful collaboration that lasted for seven years and eight original albums. Bell revitalized the group, producing five gold albums that included chart success with singles such as "I'll Be Around", "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love", "Games People Play", and "The Rubberband Man". In 1974, he was awarded a Grammy for Best Producer of the Year. In 1975, Bell produced an album with Dionne Warwick called Track of the Cat, one year after he had teamed her with the Spinners on the song, "Then Came You", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #2 on the R&B chart. He also worked with acts such as Johnny Mathis (two albums), Billy Paul, Ronnie Dyson, Anthony & The Imperials and New York City in the mid to late 1970s, but generally with less commercial appeal. Subsequently, Bell had success with Deniece Williams, including her R&B #1 and Top 10 re-make of The Royalettes' "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" in 1982;James Ingram with "I Don't Have the Heart" in 1990 (Bell's second #1 pop hit); and Elton John, whose EP, The Thom Bell Sessions, featured back-up by the Spinners and produced the Top 10 hit, "Mama Can't Buy You Love", in 1979. Other artists Bell produced in the 1980s included The Temptations, Phyllis Hyman, Dee Dee Bridgwater, and he even re-united briefly with the Stylistics in 1981 on Philadelphia International's subsidiary, TSOP. Warner Chappell Music acquired Mighty Three Music in 1990. A December 2008 interview with Bell featured on the Philly Soul box set, Love Train, stated he would soon compose a piece for the Philadelphia Orchestra. Past Orchestra members played in MFSB, the house band who played on many Bell productions.

Bell of Chersonesos

The Bell of Chersonesos, located close to the ruins of Chersonesos Taurica, Crimea (), is the symbol of Chersonesos and one of the main sights of Sevastopol. It was cast before the foundation of Sevastopol for the Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church in Taganrog, which was the Russian Navy's military base at that time. It was later seized as war booty by the French, then returned. History The bell of Chersonesos or the fog bell of Chersonesos is sometimes considered as "one of Taganrog's sights located abroad", which even became a symbol of another city – of Sevastopol or, to be more exact, of Chersonesos Taurica. Today's fog bell was cast in 1778 from the Turkish trophy cannons seized by the Russian Imperial Army during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774. The bell features depictions of two patron saints of sailors, Saint Nicholas and Saint Phocas, and the following phrase on it can still be read today in , which translates as: "This bell was cast in the Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church in Taganrog from the trophy Turkish artillery […] weight […] pounds. Year 1778, month of August, on the day of […]". The bell was cast before the foundation of Sevastopol for the Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church in Taganrog, which was the Russian Navy's military base at that time. Until 1803 the St. Nicholas church was subordinated to the Navy ministry. After Sevastopol became the main Russian military navy base in the South of Russia, the Emperor Alexander I ordered the bell to be transported to Sevastopol to be fitted in the Church of St. Nicholas which was being constructed there, with other bells and church plates also given over to the city of Sevastopol. During the Crimean War the fog bell was seized by the French and was placed in the cathedral of Notre-Dame of Paris. Decades later, a bell with a Russian inscription was found and finally, thanks to diplomatic efforts undertaken by both sides, and especially by the French consul in Sevastopol Louis Ge, the bell was solemnly returned on September 13, 1913, to a monastery at Chersonesos and was placed on a temporary wooden belfry near the St. Vladimir Cathedral. The French president Raymond Poincaré in his letter to consul Louis Ge wrote that he returned the bell to Russia "as a sign of alliance and friendship". In their turn, the Russian government awarded the French consul the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th degree. The monastery was closed in 1925 by the Soviet Russian authorities, and two years later all its bells were sent away to be recast. Only one bell escaped this fate because the Department of the Security of Navigation of the Black and Azov Seas proposed to place it on the coast as a signal fog bell. In this capacity the bell served until the 1960s.

The Ireland Funds

The Ireland Funds are a global fundraising network for people of Irish ancestry and friends of Ireland, dedicated to raising funds to support programs of peace and reconciliation, arts and culture, education and community development throughout the island of Ireland. The Funds exist in 12 countries around the world, the largest member of the network being The American Ireland Fund, and, after Atlantic Philanthropies, may be the second largest non-governmental donor to Irish causes. The global chairman of The Ireland Funds is Tony O'Reilly. They have raised over $550 million for worthy causes in Ireland and around the world. History The American Irish Foundation During his visit to Ireland in 1963, United States President John F. Kennedy joined with Irish President Éamon de Valera to form The American Irish Foundation. The mission of this organization was to foster connections between Americans of Irish descent and the country of their ancestry. The Ireland Fund In 1976, Dr. Anthony J.F. O'Reilly (Sir Tony O'Reilly), former CEO of H.J. Heinz Co. (as well as a former Ireland rugby union player), created The Ireland Fund with friend and fellow Pittsburgh businessman Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers football team, who later served as the United States Ambassador to Ireland. With three goals, "Peace, Culture and Charity", The Ireland Fund appealed for support for Ireland and its people from all Americans, especially those of Irish descent. Merger On St. Patrick's Day 1987, The Ireland Fund and the American Irish Foundation led by Arthur William Bourn Vincent merged at a White House ceremony to form The American Ireland Fund and to become the world's largest private organization funding constructive change in Ireland, both in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland. Chapters of The American Ireland Fund Over the following decade, The Ireland Funds formed a thriving fundraising network of chapters in additional cities across the United States as The American Ireland Fund including Boston, Chicago, Palm Beach, New York City, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, San Diego, Philadelphia, New Jersey and Washington D.C. International chapters In parallel with expansion within the USA, Ireland Funds were established in a range of countries, from Ireland itself to Canada (launched 1978), Australia (launched 1987), Great Britain (1988), France (1990), New Zealand (1992), Germany (1993), Japan (1993), Monaco (1998), China (1998) and Singapore (2009). Global headquarters Shared world headquarters for The Ireland Funds were opened in Boston in 1994. Today With over 100 events annually in 40 cities around the world, attended by 40,000 people, and raising over $550 million since 1976, The Ireland Funds is one of the largest non-governmental organizations helping Ireland. It does most of its work by choosing and contributing to the work of other NGOs. Although The American Ireland Fund remains the largest component of The Ireland Funds structure, there are also chapters in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Monaco, Singapore, New Zealand, and Ireland. Organization The Ireland Funds have their world headquarters in Boston, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Toronto, Dublin, London and Sydney. Publicity The organisation has had an active website since 1996, with four major relaunches since then. Governance and staffing The Ireland Funds are overseen by voluntary directors at various levels, and have regional and global staff. Each country or chapter has its own governance body, such as a Board of Directors, with operations led by a local regional or executive director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garraun%20%28Galway%29

Garraun (Galway)

Garraun () at , is the 224th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, however, while it is just short of the elevation threshold of 600-metres for other classifications (e.g. Vandeleur-Lynam, and Hewitt), it does have the prominence to be a Marilyn. Garraun lies on an isolated massif near the mouth of Killary Harbour at the far north sector of the Twelve Bens/Garraun Complex Special Area of Conservation in the Connemara National Park in Galway. The southern slopes are a scenic backdrop to Kylemore Abbey and Kylemore Lough. Naming Irish academic Paul Tempan notes that Garraun is clearly a name of Irish origin, either from , meaning "grove", or more likely from , meaning "fang"; while the summit is flat, the eastern ridge leading to it is sharp enough to have merited such a name. Tim Robinson notes that , meaning "bald hill", is the more common name in the area; it more correctly describes the shape of the summit of Garraun; while likely refers to the sharp eastern ridge that descends to Lough Fee. Tempan notes that the townland on the south slopes of Garraun South Top, that runs to Kylemore Lough, is called "Lemnaheltia" (, meaning "the doe's leap"), and this name appears on Mercator's map of Ireland (1595) as Dosleape for the mountain (or the cliffs below the summit). A legend tells of Fionn Mac Cumhail's dog Bran, who pursued a doe in this area, however, when the doe leapt from the summit, Bran fell from the cliff into the lake. Many Irish places claim variations of this story, including "Lough Brin" (, meaning "Bran's lake") south of the MacGillycuddy Reeks, in Kerry. Geography Garraun is a flat featureless summit that lies on its own isolated massif close to the entrance to Killary Harbour, Ireland largest fjord, and is part of the Twelve Bens/Garraun Complex special area of conservation in Connemara; the Garraun massif is considered part of the Twelve Bens mountain range. To the west of Garraun, via a high ridge, is the subsidiary peak of Garraun South Top , which overlooks Kylemore Lough, and whose prominence of qualifies it as an Arderin. Further west, is the sharp summit of Garraun South-West Top , whose prominence of qualifies it as an Arderin Beg. Garraun South-West Top is marked "Altnagaighera" (or "ravine of the sheep"), on some maps. Altnagaighera is noted for its conglomerate Tors that are scattered around its summit. Further southwest again, lies the double-top summit of Doughruagh (, meaning "black stack"), which directly overlooks Kylemore Abbey (and thus features in photographs and paintings of the abbey), and whose prominence of qualifies it as an Arderin, and a Marilyn. Half-way up the south face of Doughraugh, on very steep ground, is a statue of the Sacred Heart, erected in 1932 by the Benedictine nuns of Kylemore Abbey, in thanks for their safe delivery from their previous home in Ypres in Belgium, which they had to abandon during World War One. East of Garraun is a long sharp spur (which Tempan thinks was probably ), leading to Lough Fee. To the north of Garraun is Benchoona (, meaning "peak of Cuanna"), whose prominence of qualifies it as an Arderin. Benchoona has a subsidiary peak, Benchoona East Top , whose prominence of qualifies it as an Arderin Beg. Robert Macfarlane described Benchoona's summit as "a rough broken tableland of flat rocks, perhaps a quarter of an acre in area, and planed smooth by the old ice". Garraun has two satellite peaks. To the east, across Lough Fee, is the isolated peak of Letterettrin (, meaning "hillside of furrows"), which is also called (meaning "big peak"; not to be confused with Binn Mhór in the Maumturks range), and whose prominence of qualifies it as a Marilyn. To the west is Currywongaun (, meaning "Uí Mhongáin's round or pointed hill"). Hill walking The most straightforward route to climb Gaurran is via its sharp east spur at Lough Fee; the 5-kilometre 2.5-hour round trip uses the car-park at the distinctively roofed Creeragh Church, off the N59 road. Another recommended trail is the 9-kilometre 4-hour Lettergesh Loop or Benchoona Horseshoe, that starts from Lettergesh Beach in the car-park at Carrickglass (L737 630), taking the path to Cloonagh (), and climbing a loop around Benchoona, Garraun, and Garraun South-West Top (or Altnagaighera) before returning via Cloonagh. Various other 8-10 kilometre 4-5 hour routes, take in the summit of Doughruagh, and the shores of Kylemore Lough and Pollacappul Lough, in a loop with Garraun and Altnagaighera.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And%20the%20Native%20Hipsters

...And the Native Hipsters

...And the Native Hipsters was an English experimental group formed in London, England in 1979. Centred on the nucleus of musicians William Wilding and Blatt (Nanette Greenblatt), they are best known for their 1980 single, "There Goes Concorde Again", which attracted the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, and reached number five on the UK Independent Charts. The song was listed by New Musical Express in their "NME Writers 100 Best Indie Singles Ever" in 1992. AllMusic called the Native Hipsters "[o]ne of the more bizarre groups" from the late-1970s and early-1980s. Biography ...And the Native Hipsters was a London-based duo of musicians William Wilding from Romford England, and Blatt (Nanette Greenblatt) from Cape Town, South Africa. They had previously worked together as the Wildings, and then the Patterns with Robert Cubitt and Tom Fawcett. The Patterns became the Native Hipsters in 1979 when they recorded "There Goes Concorde Again", a 6:45 minute song featuring Blatt repeating with "childlike enthusiasm" the refrain "Ooh, look, there goes Concorde again", with reference to sightings of the famed "silverbird". AllMusic described the song as a "formless composition" with "perfectly-devoid-of-skill vocals, a wobbly funhouse synth, the occasional guitar pling, and not much bass". "There Goes Concorde Again" was a home recording that was privately released by the group as a single in a limited edition of 500 copies. Each disc had its label hand-stamped by the group, and the sleeves were cut from advertising posters (including one of Kevin Keegan, an English footballer), making each cover virtually unique. They sent the records to Rough Trade, an independent record shop in London, and about a month later BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel picked up a copy and began playing the song extensively on his radio program. Soon the group had an order for another 1,000 copies, and then a further 4,000. The song entered the UK Independent Charts in August 1980, where it remained for ten weeks, peaking at number five. Wilding received an offer from producer Tony Visconti to re-record the song, but turned it down for fear of it becoming "too commercial". The song was later listed by New Musical Express in their "NME Writers 100 Best Indie Singles Ever" in 1992. In 1982 the Native Hipsters released a four-track EP, "Tenderly Hurt Me" which was well received by the music press. Over the next few years the group performed live several times, including opening for Bauhaus, and recorded a number of songs with the help of various musicians, including guitarist Lester Square from The Monochrome Set, and Annie Whitehead, a session trombonist. By the mid-1980s the group had stopped recording, but interest in them was revived in 2001 when Rough Trade included "There Goes Concorde Again" in a box set, Rough Trade Shops – 25 Years. This prompted Wilding to release two CDs, There Goes Concorde Again... (2001) and Songs to Protest About (2006) containing their singles, previously unreleased songs and new material. Interest in the Native Hipsters was renewed again in 2009 when a compilation set, Kats Karavan: The History of John Peel on the Radio included "There Goes Concorde Again". Rock music critic Peter Paphides said in a review of the album that ...And the Native Hipsters was one of the artists always associated with John Peel. William Wilding went on to perform as comedy act Woody Bop Muddy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin%208%20receptor%2C%20beta

Interleukin 8 receptor, beta

Interleukin 8 receptor, beta is a chemokine receptor. IL8RB is also known as CXCR2, and CXCR2 is now the IUPHAR Committee on Receptor Nomenclature and Drug classification-recommended name. Function The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for interleukin 8 (IL8). It binds to IL8 with high affinity, and transduces the signal through a G-protein-activated second messenger system (Gi/o-coupled). This receptor also binds to chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1/MGSA), a protein with melanoma growth stimulating activity, and has been shown to be a major component required for serum-dependent melanoma cell growth. In addition, it binds ligands CXCL2, CXCL3, and CXCL5. The angiogenic effects of IL8 in intestinal microvascular endothelial cells are found to be mediated by this receptor. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this receptor controls the positioning of oligodendrocyte precursors in developing spinal cord by arresting their migration. IL8RB, IL8RA, which encodes another high affinity IL8 receptor, and IL8RBP, a pseudogene of IL8RB, form a gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 2q33-q36. Mutations in CXCR2 cause hematological traits. Senescence Knock-down studies involving the chemokine receptor CXCR2 alleviates both replicative and oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and diminishes the DNA-damage response. Also, ectopic expression of CXCR2 results in premature senescence via a p53-dependent mechanism.

After living 19 years in Brookline, Weymouth and Rehoboth, Titus was warned out of Massachusetts in 1654; and moved to Long Island. Emigration Robert Titus sailed from St. Katherine's, London, aboard the ship Hopewell on April 3, 1635, with his wife, Hannah, and two sons. The family arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony port of Boston; and Robert was granted land in Muddy River, the present town of Brookline, Massachusetts. They lived in Brookline for two or three years and then moved to the town of Weymouth. Robert's land in Weymouth is described in the town records and is printed on page 274 of The History of Weymouth: Banishment Robert and his family belonged to the Church of Weymouth where Rev. Samuel Newman was pastor from 1639 to 1643. In 1643 Rev. Newman and most of his parishioners, including the Titus family, moved out of Weymouth and settled to the southwest and ultimately founded Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Despite Robert's importance in Rehoboth community, he began to have problems with his fellow townsmen. On June 6, 1654, he was told to move his family out of the Plymouth Colony for allowing Abner Ordway and family, "persons of evil fame", to live in his home. The practice of banishing a family from the colony was known as a "Warning Out Notice;" and the warning out of the Titus family was the first recorded in the Plymouth Colony Record (22. p. 52) Robert took his family to Long Island in the summer of 1654 where his son Edmond had moved about 1650 to later became a Quaker. They settled near Oyster Bay in Huntington, Long Island. Robert's oldest son John was a land holder in Rehoboth in 1654 and remained there when his father moved to Long Island. Death Robert Titus probably died before 1679 when his wife Hannah's will was read. The following will of Hannah Titus made at Huntington, L.I. in 1672 makes no mention of her husband.
