Law and Order Party of Rhode Island

The Law and Order Party of Rhode Island was a short-lived political party in the U.S. state of Rhode Island in the 1840s, brought into existence as a consequence of the Dorr Rebellion.

Background
In 1840, Rhode Island still used as its constitution the King's Charter of 1663, which held that only landowners with $134 in property could vote. This effectively disenfranchised 60% of the state's free white men.

History
In 1841 and 1842, Rhode Island Governor Samuel Ward King faced opposition by Thomas Wilson Dorr and his followers, the Rhode Island Suffrage Party, who wanted to extend suffrage to a wider group of citizens.

Governor King put together a Law and Order coalition of Whigs and conservative Democrats to put down the opposition. King and his coalition declared martial law on May 4, 1842. The state militia ended the rebellion by the end of the summer of 1842.

Although they were initially opposed to extending suffrage, the Law and Order Party realized that the 1663 charter was archaic. After the rebellion, it became clear that they needed to compromise. In November 1842, they drafted a "Law And Order Constitution" which extended the right to vote to all native-born adult males, including black men. Effective May 1843, this new Constitution replaced the old King's Charter of 1663.

Elected officeholders
 Governor James Fenner (1843–1845)
 Governor Byron Diman (1846–1847)
 United States Senator John B. Francis (1843–1845)
 United States Representative Henry Y. Cranston (1843–1847) – served as a Whig during his second term)
 United States Representative Elisha R. Potter (1843–1845)

Smartstores

A smartstore is a brick-and-mortar retail establishment using smart technologies like smart shelves, smart carts, or smart cards.  Smartstores usually deliver their services via the Web, smart phone apps, and augmented reality applications in real stores.

The intention behind the adoption of such technologies is to enhance the productivity of store space and inventory. For example, RFID technology allows for the use of kiosks and self-checkout terminals, with RFID keeping track of all incoming and outgoing products. Smartstore technologies also offers consumer personalization, with retailers able to cater to individual consumers' preferences and potentially provide more product information.

Notable smartstores today include SmartMart, Metro Group Future Store and BGN (Boekhandels Groep Nederland). Amazon Go was unveiled as a prototype in 2016.

Peduel

Peduel () is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located about 10 km from the Palestinian city of Burqin, 25 km east of Tel Aviv and adjacent to Alei Zahav, Beit Aryeh-Ofarim and Brukhin, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In  it had a population of . The Shilo Stream passes to the south, and the Shilo Stream Nature Preserve borders Peduel on the north and west.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

History
Founded in 1984 on state lands by a group of Orthodox Jewish Israelis from Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shvut with help from Amana, the yishuv is now home to about 200 families. The town's name is symbolic and is derived from the bible: "And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion" (Isaiah 35,10 and 51,11). The word ransomed in Hebrew is "Pedui", and Pedu-el means "ransomed by God".

Education
There are many institutions located on the settlement: a nursery, three kindergartens, an elementary school, a talmud torah, and the combined pre-army and hesder Eretz Hatzvi yeshiva.

They made contact soon after, and Pixies reunited the following spring.  Trask and Mitchell recorded a Tommy Gnosis song, written for this album and based on an unfinished snippet from the show's development days, called "Milford Lake" (sung by Mitchell) and included it. The CD also features comedian Stephen Colbert reciting the spoken introduction to "Tear Me Down".

Herluin de Conteville

Herluin de Conteville (1001–1066) was the stepfather of William the Conqueror and the father of Odo of Bayeux and Robert, Count of Mortain, both of whom became prominent during William's reign. He died in 1066, the year his stepson conquered England.

Conteville and Sainte-Mère-Église
Herluin was a lord of moderate income and held some land on the south side of the river Seine. He was viscount of Conteville, probably so created by his stepson, and held the honour of Sainte-Mère-Église, a portion of the county of Mortain. There he founded Grestain Abbey around 1050 with his son Robert.

Uncertain Parentage
No contemporary record provides the parentage for Herluin, although later sources, notably the Book of de Burgos, have assigned him parents, such as the otherwise unknown couple of Jean de Conteville and Harlette de Meulan.

Herluin's marriage to Herleva
In the mid-11th century, Conteville and its dependencies appear to have been in the hands of Herluin, whose wife Herleva was previously the mistress of Robert I, Duke of Normandy and mother of his only son, William, (later called William the Conqueror). Herluin and Herleva had two sons, Odo or Eudes, who became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert, Count of Mortain. Both were prominent in the reign of their half-brother William. They also had several daughters, including Emma, who married Richard le Goz, Viscount of Avranches, and one of unknown name, sometimes called Muriel in modern genealogies, who married Guillaume, Seigneur de la Ferté-Macé. Herluin is said to have loyally borne William's body to his grave at Caen after he died in the burning of Mantes; however, that was in 1087, well after Herluin's death in 1066.

Herluin's marriage to Fredesendis
After Herleva's death, Herluin remarried to Fredesendis, who appears as a benefactor of Grestain Abbey, and as Herluin's wife in the confirmation charter of the abbey, dated 1189. The abbey was founded by Herluin himself around 1050, in hopes of achieving a cure to his leprosy or some similar disease.
Little is known of the children of Herluin and Fredesendis. A son Jean de Conteville appears to have died young. A Ralph de Conteville appearing in the Domesday Book holding land in Somerset and Devon, has been identified as another son, though others derive that man from the Pas-de-Calais, and hence not of this family.

John M. Larn

John M. Larn (March 1, 1849 – June 23, 1878) was a western American lawman and later outlaw who, with gunfighter John Selman, operated a cattle rustling ring in Shackelford County, Texas, for over a year.

Life
Born in Mobile, Alabama, Larn traveled to Colorado as a teenager where he found work as a ranch hand until murdering his employer during an argument over a horse. Fleeing to New Mexico, Larn killed a local sheriff he had thought was tracking him. After settling in Fort Griffin, Texas, Larn once again was employed by local rancher Bill Hays as a trail boss. It was also around this time, while traveling to California, that Larn had supposedly murdered two Mexicans after an argument and had their bodies dumped in the Pecos River.

Deciding to stay in Fort Griffin, Larn eventually married Mary Matthews, a younger sister of John Alexander Matthews and within several years had become a well known citizen of Shackelford County. After years of service with the local vigilante committees, Larn was elected county sheriff in April 1876. Shortly after becoming elected, Larn agreed to a contract with the local territorial garrison to deliver three steers of cattle per day. Larn however, began planning with longtime friend and recently deputized John Selman to rustle cattle from neighboring ranchers in place of his own. Suspicions were soon raised as ranchers noticed while their herds were slowly shrinking, Larn's remained the only ranch unaffected and, after discovering the scheme, Larn was eventually forced to resign on March 7, 1877.

No charges were brought against him however; Leslie continued to live in Shackelford County until June 1878 when Larn wounded a local rancher by the name of Treadwell (who had reportedly uncovered the cattle rustling). Larn was soon arrested by Sheriff William Cruger on June 22, 1878, and taken to Albany where Cruger ordered the local blacksmith to shackle Larn to the floor of the jail house as to prevent a breakout by Larn's supporters. However, when vigilantes from Fort Griffin arrived the following night, finding they could not lynch Larn they instead shot him as he was still shackled in his cell.

De La Salle Secondary School, N.T.

De La Salle Secondary School, N.T. (DLS,) is a catholic secondary school in Kam Tsin Tsuen, near Kwu Tung in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It was established by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1965. It is one of the Lasallian schools in Hong Kong. (N.T. is the acronym of New Territories, a region in Hong Kong.)

From Form 1 through to Form 4 only boys are accepted, but form 5, 6 and 7 are fully coeducational.

Initially English was used as the medium of instruction. The school began to use Cantonese to teach in 1987, and in 1997 it became the sole instructing language in classes.

Brief history and development

De La Salle Secondary School, N. T. was established in 1965 under the zealous leadership of its first Principal, Brother Felix Sheehan.

Among the Lasallian schools in Hong Kong, it has the distinction of being our only school with nature at its doorstep. The school has a grass football field and a large multi-purpose playground with basketball, handball and volleyball courts. There are also 2 covered areas, one where students can play badminton and the other where many extra-curricular activities are held.

With the support of teachers and parents, De La Salle Secondary School, N.T. has adopted Chinese as the medium of instruction.

At De La Salle, Forms 1 to 3 are streamed. Students in Forms 4, 5, 6 and 7 are placed in classes according to their interests in either arts or science. Forms 1 to 4 were all boys but Forms 5 to 7 were co-educational. Starting from 2007, all forms are now co-ed.

The school badge has as its motto Fides et Caritas—Faith and Love—which reminds the school community that their spiritual values should manifest true love in action.

De La Salle Secondary School, N.T., in keeping with good Lasallian tradition, fulfils a real need for quality education in the New Territories.

Snoqualmie Tunnel

The Snoqualmie Tunnel is a former railroad tunnel near Snoqualmie Pass in the U.S. state of Washington, located east of Seattle. The tunnel crosses the Cascade Range about  south of the pass, which is used by Interstate 90, on the border between King County and Kittitas County. It is  long and is at an approximate elevation of  above sea level, just north of Keechelus Lake. Its east portal is at Hyak.

The tunnel was originally constructed for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in the early 1910s and was abandoned in 1980. It now serves as part of a rail trail in Iron Horse State Park, known officially as the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail. The trail was formerly known as the John Wayne Pioneer Trail and commonly called the Iron Horse Trail. A major renovation to the walls, ceiling, and path were completed in July 2011 after a two-year closure.

History 
The tunnel was constructed from 1912 to 1914 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("The Milwaukee Road") as part of its line from Chicago to Seattle, completed in 1909. It replaced a temporary surface line over Snoqualmie Pass at ; this grade from Hyak to Rockdale later became U.S. Route 10, now the eastbound lanes of I-90. The tunnel is aligned east–west and electrification in 1917 eliminated smoke dissipation issues.

In 1980, the Milwaukee Road received approval from the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon its lines west of eastern Montana. On March 15, 1980, the final Milwaukee Road train passed through the tunnel.  Later, the State of Washington acquired the right-of-way for recreational use.

Today the tunnel is part of the Iron Horse State Park rails-to-trails project. It is usually closed between November 1 through early May due to ice formations inside the tunnel. On July 5, 2011, the tunnel re-opened after 11 months of renovations. The $700,000 renovation added a  layer of concrete to the walls and ceiling, a reinforced structure, and a new and improved walking surface of crushed rock.

Kuveždin Monastery

The Kuveždin monastery () is a Serb Orthodox monastery on the Fruška Gora mountain in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. Traditionally, its foundation is ascribed to Stefan Štiljanović (late 15th century). The first reliable record of its existence is from a Turkish tax book dated from 1566 to 1569, though the building was constructed much earlier. In 2009, the entire monastery complex has been reconstructed.

The iconostasis of the old church was given away to a church in the village of Opatovac in 1758. The current iconostasis and wall paintings in the new church were carried out by Pavle Simić from 1848 to 1853.

Kuveždin Monastery was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia.

Quicksand (Martha and the Vandellas song)

"Quicksand" is a song recorded by the Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas. It was written by the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland and released as a single in November 1963.

Background
"Quicksand" was built around a similar gospel-inspired delivery of the Martha and the Vandellas' breakout hit " Heat Wave", but with a slightly slower tempo and a harder edge. Like "Heat Wave", it features an analogy to a natural phenomenon, with the narrator comparing falling in love to sinking in quicksand.  Cash Box said that "it continues the hard-hitting excitement of ['Heat Wave']."

"Quicksand" was Martha and the Vandellas' third single to be written by Holland–Dozier–Holland, who would later write songs for other Motown artists such as The Supremes and the Four Tops.

Personnel
Lead vocals by Martha Reeves
Background vocals by Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard
