Manorialism (Seigneurialism) is the name for the organization of the economy in the Middle Ages in Europe.
The economy relied mainly on agriculture.
Manorialism describes how land was distributed and who profited from the land.
A lord received a piece of land, usually from a higher nobleman, or from the king.
When he received the land, he also received all that was on it.
That means that most of the people that lived on the land also belonged to the nobleman.
The people, called peasants, had to pay to the lord, or they had to work for him.
This way, the nobleman could live and support his family from what he received from the peasants.
He had also certain legal powers, like that of a police force.
The peasants were commoners or subjects and had to pay tribute to the lord.
In return they received protection.
The tribute the subjects had to pay varied.
It could be money but subsistence farming meant most had no money.
They could pay by doing work for their lord, or pay a certain part of what they earned (like one tenth).
That meant that if they grew a crop such as some form of corn, the lord got a tenth of their earnings in corn.
This is also called payment in nature or sharecropping.
Demesne, the part directly controlled by the lord and used for the benefit of his household and dependents;
Dependent (serf or villein) holdings carrying the obligation that the peasant household supply the lord with specified labour services or a part of its output (or money instead), subject to the custom attached to the holding; and
Free peasant land, without such obligation but otherwise subject to manorial jurisdiction and custom, and owing money rent fixed at the time of the lease.
Sometimes the lord had a mill, a bakery or a wine-press.
This could be used by the peasants against a fee.
Similarly, the right to hunt or to let pigs feed in his woodland was subject to a fee.
The peasants could use the lord's legal system to settle their disputes - for a fee.
Single payments were due on each change of tenant.
On the other side of the account, manorial administration involved significant expenses.
This might be one of the reasons why smaller manors tended to rely less on villein tenure.
Dependent holdings were held by agreement of lord and tenant, but tenure became in practice usually hereditary, with a payment made to the lord on each succession of another member of the family.
Villein land could not be abandoned, at least as long as every fleeing peasant was likely to starve to death; nor could they be passed to a third party without the lord's permission, and the customary payment.
Though not free, villeins were definitely not slaves: they enjoyed legal rights, subject to local custom, and had recourse to the law, subject to court charges which were an additional source of manorial income.
Sub-letting of villein holdings was common, and labour on the demesne might be commuted into an additional money payment, as happened increasingly from the 13th century.
Variation among manors
Feudal society is based on two principles, that of feudalism and manorialism.
The structures of manorialism varied though.
In the later Middle Ages, areas of incomplete or non-existent manorialisation persisted while the manorial economy underwent substantial development as economic conditions changed.
Not all manors had all three kinds of land: as an average, demesne accounted for roughly a third of the arable area and villein holdings rather more; but some manors consisted solely of demesne, others solely of peasant holdings.
Similarly, the proportion of unfree and free tenures could vary greatly.
This meant that the amount of wage labour to perform agricultural work on the demesne varied as well.
The proportion of the cultivated area in demesne tended to be greater in smaller manors.
The share of villein land was greater in large manors, providing the lord with a larger potential supply of obligatory labour for demesne work.
The proportion of free tenements was generally less variable, but tended to be somewhat greater on the smaller manors.
Manors varied also in their geographical arrangement: most did not coincide with a single village.
Often, parts of two or more villages belonged to the manor, or were shared between several manors.
In those places, peasants living far from the lord's estate sometimes paid cash instead of working for the lord.
The demesne was usually not a single plot of land.
It consisted of some land around the central house and estate buildings.
The rest of the demesne land was in the form of strips dispersed through the manor.
In addition, the lord might lease free tenements belonging to neighbouring manors, as well as holding other manors some distance away to provide a greater range of produce.
Not all manors were held by laymen lords who rendered military service or paid cash to their superior.
A survey done in 1086 estimates that 17% belonged directly to the king, and that a greater proportion (rather more than a quarter) were held by bishops and monasteries.
These church manors were usually larger, with a significantly greater villein area than the lay manors next to them.
Historical development and geographical distribution
Today, the term is used most to refer to medieval Western Europe.
A similar system was used in the rural parts of the late Roman Empire.
The birthrate and population were declining.
Labor was therefore the most important factor for production.
Successive administrations tried to stabilise the imperial economy by freezing the social structure into place: sons were to succeed their fathers in their trade.
Councillors were forbidden to resign, and coloni, the cultivators of land, were not to move from the demesne they were attached to.
They were on their way to becoming serfs.
Several factors conspired to merge the status of former slaves and former free farmers into a dependent class of such coloni.
Laws of Constantine I around 325 reinforced both the negative semi-servile status of the coloni and limited their rights to sue in the courts.
Their numbers were augmented by barbarian foederati who were permitted to settle within the imperial boundaries.
As the Germanic kingdoms succeeded Roman authority in the West in the fifth century, Roman landlords were often simply replaced by Gothic or Germanic ones, with little change to the underlying situation.
The process of rural self-sufficiency was given an abrupt boost in the eighth century, when normal trade in the Mediterranean Sea was disrupted.
The thesis put forward by Henri Pirenne, disputed by many, supposes that the Arab conquests forced the medieval economy into even greater ruralisation and gave rise to the classic feudal pattern of varying degrees of servile peasantry underpinning a hierarchy of localised power centres.

The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) is a group of colleges and universities in the Midwestern United States that play NCAA Division I women's ice hockey against one another every season.
The champion is automatically invited to the NCAA Division I women's hockey tournament.
When the WCHA ran a men's league, the men's champion was also automatically invited to the Division I men's tournament.
Founded in 1951 as a men's hockey league, the WCHA added a women's division in the 1999–2000 season.
The league would expand far beyond its traditional Midwestern base, adding teams in Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, and Indiana at different times.
The WCHA shut down its men's division after the 2020–21 season when seven of its 10 members left to start a new Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
Today, eight schools are members of the now women-only WCHA.
Final men's members
Ten schools were members of the WCHA men's league in its final season.

UConn will leave the conference in July 2014 to join Hockey East.
Its women's hockey  team is already a member of that conference.
The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) is the name of two groups of colleges and universities, mostly in the Midwestern United States, that have organized for NCAA Division I hockey against one another every season.
The first CCHA, formed in 1971, folded after the 2012–13 season.
In February 2020, seven schools within the original CCHA's Midwestern footprint announced they would start play in a new CCHA in the 2021–22 season.
Another Midwestern school joined the new CCHA in July 2020.
Original league
The first version of the CCHA was launched in 1971 by four schools—Bowling Green, Ohio, Ohio State, and Saint Louis.
They would add Lake Superior State a year later, but lost the two Ohio schools in 1973.
The CCHA recovered from this early blow in 1975 when Ohio State returned and Western Michigan joined for the first time.
Saint Louis would stop playing hockey in 1979, but the Billikens were immediately replaced by Ferris State.
In the last years of the decade, the CCHA became viewed as a major conference, and by 1980 Northern Michigan, which had joined in 1977, reached the championship game of the NCAA tournament.
Later that year, another Ohio school, Miami, joined.
In 1981, the CCHA attracted four schools from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA)—Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech, and Notre Dame.
While Notre Dame shut down its men's hockey team in 1983, and Michigan Tech left the following year to return to the WCHA, the other two schools remained in the CCHA until the original league folded.
UIC joined in 1982.
The CCHA continued to gain respect, with Bowling Green becoming the CCHA's first NCAA champion in 1984.
The league stayed mostly stable through the 1990s.
In 1992, Kent State joined, and Notre Dame brought back its hockey program and rejoined.
While Kent State folded its hockey team two years later, and UIC did the same in 1996, the CCHA added three more members in that decade.
Alaska joined in 1995, Northern Michigan returned the same year, and Nebraska–Omaha (now known for sports as simply "Omaha") joined in 1999.
From that point, the league lost only one member (Nebraska–Omaha to the WCHA in 2010) before its demise.
The trigger for the demise of the original CCHA was a large donation by energy billionaire Terry Pegula to his alma mater of Pennsylvania State University (Penn State).
This donation funded the startup expenses for varsity men's and women's hockey teams at the university, plus a new arena for both teams.
Once Penn State's teams took the ice in 2012–13, it gave the Big Ten Conference the six schools it needed to begin sponsoring men's ice hockey.
Among these six were three of the CCHA's most important members in Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State.
The Big Ten announced in 2011 that it would start a men's hockey league in 2013–14, and the three Big Ten members announced they would leave the CCHA at that time.
Soon after the Big Ten announcement, a group of six schools—five from the WCHA plus CCHA member Miami (Ohio)—formed the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC), which began play in 2013–14.
Within a few months, all of the other CCHA schools said they would also leave, with Western Michigan joining the NCHC, Notre Dame joining Hockey East, and the rest joining the WCHA.
Throughout its history, the original CCHA only sponsored men's ice hockey—only one of its 11 final members had a varsity women's hockey team, namely Ohio State.
The champion was automatically invited to the NCAA Division I men's hockey tournament.

New CCHA
In June 2019, seven of the 10 men's members of the WCHA, all Midwestern schools, announced that they would leave that league at the end of the 2020–21 season.
By this time, the men's WCHA featured these schools, plus Alabama–Huntsville, Alaska, and Alaska–Anchorage.
Their announcement stated that they were considering forming a new, more geographically compact league.
On February 18, 2020 these seven schools announced they would begin competing in a new CCHA in 2021–22.
On July 30, 2020, St. Thomas, a Twin Cities school that would eventually start a move from NCAA Division III to Division I in July 2021 by joining the Summit League (which does not sponsor hockey), was announced as the eighth member of the new CCHA.

College Hockey America (CHA) is a group of American colleges and universities who play NCAA Division I women's ice hockey against one another every season.
It was founded in 1999 as a men's hockey conference, with women's teams joining in 2002.
The men's side of CHA folded after the 2009–10 season.
As of the current 2013–14 season, CHA has six members, which is the minimum needed to earn an automatic place in the NCAA women's tournament.
However, because three of these schools only joined in July 2012, CHA will not get an automatic tournament place until at least the 2014–15 season.
CHA has close ties with Atlantic Hockey, a men's hockey-only conference.
Although the conferences do not share offices, they have the same commissioner, and three current CHA members are also in Atlantic Hockey.
Mercyhurst University
Pennsylvania State University ("Penn State")
Rochester Institute of Technology ("RIT")
Of the current members, Mercyhurst, RIT, and Robert Morris have varsity men's teams in Atlantic Hockey.
Penn State has a men's varsity team that plays in the school's all-sports conference, the Big Ten.
Syracuse has a men's team, but it plays at club level, outside the NCAA structure.

ECAC Hockey is a group of colleges and universities in the Northeastern United States who play NCAA Division I hockey against one another every season.. It is the only NCAA Division I hockey conference whose members all have varsity men's and women's teams.
The league's champions are automatically invited to the NCAA Division I men's and women's hockey tournaments.
Another unique feature of the conference is its unofficial relationship with another conference, the Ivy League.
Six of the Ivy league's eight schools have both men's and women's hockey teams; all six are members of ECAC Hockey.
Although the Ivy League does not officially sponsor hockey, it still has a conference hockey champion—it uses the results of its members in ECAC Hockey to determine a winner.
St. Lawrence University
Hockey East is a group of American colleges and universities who play NCAA Division I hockey against one another every season.
Before the Notre Dame men's hockey team (in Indiana) joined in 2013, all of the members were in New England.
The champions are automatically invited to the NCAA Division I men's and women's hockey tournaments.
In all, 12 schools are members of Hockey East.
Seven of these have men's and women's teams that both play in the conference.
Four do not have a women's team playing at the NCAA level, although one of these four will move its women's club team to the NCAA level in 2015.
One school has its women's team only in Hockey East, with its men's team in another conference.
The current members are listed below.
Unless otherwise noted, these schools have both men's and women's teams in the conference.
University of Connecticut (women only; men play in Atlantic Hockey through the 2013–14 season)
University of Massachusetts Amherst (sometimes called "UMass") (men only)
Merrimack College (men only; women will join in 2015–16)
University of Notre Dame (men only)
University of Massachusetts at Lowell (often called "UMass Lowell") (men only)
In July 2014, Connecticut, now a member only for women's hockey, will move its men's team into Hockey East.
One year later, Merrimack, a member in men's hockey only, will upgrade its women's team from club to full varsity status and move that team into the conference.
The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic cathedral.
It used to be a mosque  in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain.
At first the site had been used for a temple, then a Christian cathedral.
Under the rule of Islam, it was built as the second-largest mosque in the world.
It is perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba.
It changed into mosque in Middle Ages.
After the Spanish Reconquista, it was changed back into a church, and some of the Islamic columns and arcs were replaced by a basilica in early Baroque style.
Today it houses the main church of the diocese of Cordoba in Spain.

He took part in the Gauntlet For The Gold match to determine a new NWA World Heavyweight Championship|NWA World Heavyweight Champion but lost the match.
Parks returned to TNA as "The Monster Abyss" in June 2003, starting out as a bad guy and attacking Jeff Hardy, although the feud was short lived as Hardy did not appear to their first match, resulting in a suspension.
Afterwards, Parks was brought in as a bodyguard to Kid Kash.
They continued to be allies until October, when Kash berated Abyss for losing a match and Abyss turned on and attacked Kash.
Abyss gained a victory over Kash, but then lost a First Blood Steel Chair on a Pole match to his former partner.
Soon after the loss the feud between the two ended.
Soon after, Abyss aligned himself with Don Callis.
With this new alliance, Abyss soon feuded with Raven.
The feud lasted for the rest of 2003, with the final match pitting Abyss and the Red Shirt Security (Kevin Northcutt and Legend) against Raven and The Gathering in a Steel Cage match.
Abyss and his team came out victorious when the Gathering turned on Raven.
Going into 2004, Abyss entered his first major feud with A.J. Styles.
On one show, Abyss was forced to team with Styles in a NWA World Tag Team Championship match against champions Red Shirt Security.
Styles and Abyss won the titles, even when Abyss abandoned Styles near the beginning of the match.
Abyss defeated Styles in a normal match the following show, and on the next gained control of the titles, defeating Styles in a Four Corners Tables match (Abyss was later stripped of the titles).
The following show, both men fought to a no-contest in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Sportspeople from Washington, D.C.
The American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) was a group of colleges and universities in the eastern half of the United States that played NCAA Division I women's lacrosse against one another each season.
Women's lacrosse was the only sport that this conference ever played—all members were (and still are) in other conferences for other sports.
The conference champion earned a spot in the NCAA Division I women's lacrosse tournament.
The ALC was founded in 2001 by seven schools, with play starting in 2002.
Nine schools were members at one time or another, but no more than seven played in any season.
The conference folded after the 2014 season, mainly because the Big Ten Conference, home to four of the ALC's final seven members, planned to start a women's lacrosse league in the 2015 season.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882) was an English poet, illustrator, painter and translator.
His sister was the poet Christina Rossetti.
He was a leading light of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood.
The Mediterranean Ridge is a wide ridge in the floor of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is next to a rough quarter circle from Calabria, south of Crete, to the southwest corner of Turkey, and from there eastwards south of Turkey, with Cyprus.
From what tectonic theory says, it is caused by the African Plate subducting under the Eurasian and Anatolian plates.
As the African Plate moves slowly north-northeastward, it plows up the floor of the Mediterranean, lifting it from the seabed, and then above sea level, making the island of Cyprus.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, called  in Japan, is a Game Boy Advance platform video game and the remake of Kirby's Adventure.
en:Kirby's Adventure#Remake
Kirby's Adventure, called  in Japan, is a platform video game made by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System game console.
It was remade for the Game Boy Advance as Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
After waking up without dreams, Kirby goes to the Fountain of Dreams to investigate.
In doing so, he learns that King Dedede has stole the Star Rod, by splitting it into seven pieces and giving six fragments to his allies and keeping one himself.
Without the Star Rod, all of the inhabitants of Dream Land became restless and cannot dream.
Kirby retrieves all fragments, in order to restore the rod and the dreams.
Kirby travels throughout seven worlds, defeating most enemies in order to collect the fragments.
Once Kirby defeats King Dedede and rebuilds the Star Rod, he places it back into the Fountain of Dreams.
However, an ominous black aura fills the skies as a dark creature named Nightmare emerges from the fountain.
It turns out that Nightmare had corrupted the Star Rod, and King Dedede broke it with the intention of protecting Dream Land.
Nightmare then flies off into space, and King Dedede inhales Kirby and the Star Rod and spits them into the air.
Kirby uses the Star Rod to defeat both forms of Nightmare, and saves Dream Land once again.
The player can get to the end of each level by walking, jumping and flying.
Each level has enemies and things that get in the way, but sometimes these things also help Kirby.
If Kirby touches an enemy, he loses a health point (he has six).
Sometimes Kirby defeats  mini-boss, before heading farther.
Unlike the first Kirby game, it saves the game after each level.
Players can go back to any level in the world that they have played by going through doors.
There are seven worlds, and each world has between four and six levels, as well as a boss door and a Warp Star door.
(Players can visit other worlds using Warp Stars).
Except for World 7, each world also has one or more mini-games, a place to pick up powers, and an arena where Kirby fights a mini-boss.
Kirby can walk, jump, fly and inhale.
Kirby can go as high as he wants as long as nothing blocks him, and he can fall back to the ground by exhaling.
The puff of air can hurt enemies and break blocks.
Kirby can also inhale enemies and other things.
He eats any food that he inhales, but enemies and other things remain in his mouth.
He can either spit them back out and send them flying (hurting or destroying anything in their path), or he can swallow them.
He also has a sliding move where he can kick enemies and blocks.
When Kirby swallows an enemy, he "copies" that enemy's power.
It is the first game in the series to do this, and Kirby has a lot of powers he can use.
Once he has a special power, he can use it to fight enemies and solve puzzles.
One example of a puzzle is where Kirby uses the Fire ability to light a cannon.
An official soundtrack was released on July 21, 1994.
The vocalist was Mako Miyata.
In 2002, a remake titled Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land was released for the Game Boy Advance.
The new version has, in addition to new visuals and sound, different minigames, a multiplayer mode, and other new features.
However, it also had some criticism for the omission of certain materials that pushed the NES to the limit, and replaced by what is often considered lazy for the Game Boy Advance.
For instance, the rotating pseudo-3D towers in Butter Building were removed.
In addition, the difficulty is significantly lower.
A demo of the game is available in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
In 2011, a re-release of Kirby's Adventure named 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure was released for the Nintendo 3DS.
It is a 3D version of the game.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is Australia's national census and statistical office.
It was first called the Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics, and began on December 8 1905.
The Australian Constitution gave the government the power to collect census and statistical information.
Since 1975, the person in charge of the ABS has been called the Australian Statistician.
The job of the ABS is to help the Australian government make the right decisions based on the right information.
The ABS holds a census every 5 years and collects information about every person in Australia.
The last census was held on August 8 2006.
Results from the 2006 Census are available on the ABS web site.
Year Book Australia
Every year the ABS makes a book for Australia, called the Year Book Australia.
It provides details of the economy and living conditions in Australia.

A record chart (sometimes called a music chart) is a way of giving music a rank.
The rank comes from the popularity of the music.
The Billboard Hot 100 is a popular chart.
The information on charts comes from some different sources, like the number of objects sold, the number of times a song was played on radio, the number of times a song or album was downloaded, and other criteria.
Charts are sometimes made for a special genre, for example "Top 10 Rock Songs".
Getica (original title: De origine actibusque Getarum, about the origins and deeds of the Getae (the Goths)) is the main work of Jordanes.
It was written in 551.
He made a summary of a larger work by Cassiodoriius called Libri XII De Rebus Gestis Gothorum (Twelve books about the things the Goths did, commonly known as Libri XII).
As the Libri XII have not survived, his work is the only surviving account that was written when there were still Goths.
According to the Getica, the Goths immigrated form Scandinavia and settled around what is the city Danzig today.
This has been identified with the Wielbark culture.

Edward "Ned" Kelly was an Australian  bushranger.
He has become a symbolic figure in Australian history, folklore, books, art and movies.
As a national icon, his image was used during the opening ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
He is remembered in the saying "... as game as Ned Kelly"; the word game in this case meaning brave.
While he was growing up, his family was often in trouble with the police.
After fighting a policeman at his home in 1878, Kelly went to the bush to hide.
He murdered three policemen who were searching for him.
The government made Ned, his brother, and two friends outlaws.
They became known as the Kelly Gang.
Ned Kelly led the gang to rob a number of banks, and even capture a whole town.
A final violent fight with police took place at Glenrowan.
Kelly, dressed in home-made metal armour and helmet, was captured and sent to trial.
Found guilty, he was hanged at the Melbourne Gaol in 1880.
Beveridge
Edward 'Ned' Kelly was born in Canadia, north of Melbourne, in June 1855.
The actual date is not known because the birth was not registered on the government list of births, deaths and marriages in Victoria.
His prison records give the date as 1856.
He was the son of Irish Catholic parents, John "Red" Kelly and Ellen Quinn.
Red Kelly had been a convict who had been sent to Van Diemen's Land in 1842 for stealing two pigs.
He moved to Victoria in 1848.
He met Ellen Quinn, who had come to Victoria from Ireland with her family in 1841.
Red started working for Ellen's father, James Quinn, who was a farmer at Beveridge.
Ned was probably born at his grandfather's house.
Around 1860, Red built a small house for his family, which is still standing in Kelly Street.
Avenel
When Ned was about nine, his father moved the family north to a new farm at Avenel.
Ned saved a young boy, Richard Shelton, from drowning in Hughes Creek.
The Shelton family, who owned the Royal Mail Hotel, gave Ned a sash made from green silk for his bravery.
The sash was  long and  wide.
He was wearing this sash under his armour when he was captured at Glenrowan.
The sash, still covered in Ned Kelly's blood, is now kept in the Benalla Museum.
Red was not a successful farmer and was soon arrested for stealing cattle.
In May 1866, he was given one month in prison and had to pay a fine of £25.
Red died on 27 December 1866, and is buried in the Avenel Cemetery.
Ellen Kelly moved the family to Greta.
There were other members of Ellen's family living in the area.
Her father, James Quinn, had moved from Beveridge to a large farm, called Glenmore, on the King River in north east Victoria.
Her sisters, Catherine and Jane, and their ten children, were farming at Greta.
Their husbands, brothers John and Thomas Lloyd, were in prison for stealing cattle.
When Ellen came to Greta, her brothers, James, William and John Quinn, moved from Glenmore to help the sisters and their families.
Some of the Quinn family had also been sent to prison for cattle stealing.
James, Ellen's brother, had been charged ten times for cattle stealing.
In 1868, Red Kelly's brother, James Kelly, came to visit Ellen.
He got drunk and after an argument with the sisters, tried to burn their house down.
