Mehmed Âtıf Hoca () was a Turkish Islamist. He was born in the village of Toyhane, in the district of Bayat, Çorum Province, in the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey) and went to school there. After a couple of years as an imam in İskilip (hence "İskilipli" meaning "from İskilip") in 1893 he went to Istanbul to continue his education, first at a medrese and from 1902 at Darü'l-fünun Faculty of Divinity. He graduated in 1903 and took a job teaching as Ders-i Amm (Ulama), at the madrasah in the Fatih Mosque, Istanbul. He was later arrested and jailed several times, but freed. He and Mustafa Sabri were the founding members of Cemiyet-i Müderrisin. They were fiercely against the national government in Ankara which led the Turks to the Turkish War of Independence. His father was a Turk from the Akkoyunlu Bayındır tribe, while his mother was an Arab originally from Hijaz.
In 1924, before the westernization movement in Turkey, he wrote a book titled Frenk Mukallitliği ve Şapka (Westernization and the [European] Hat). In it he advocated Sharia law and opposed what he called western influences, such as "Alcohol, Prostitution, Theater, Dance" and the "western hat". From his viewpoint, the western hat was a symbol of the infidels, and wearing a hat would make Muslims lose their Islamic identity. "The Hat Act" was passed on 25 November 1925 by Atatürk, which ordered that no other headgear except the western hat was allowed thus banning wearing the fez.
He was arrested and sent to Ankara on 26 December 1925, where he stood trial on 26 January 1926. The prosecutor demanded three years imprisonment, but the court postponed the trial to the next day. The next day, the Hoca declared that he no longer desired to defend himself. He was sentenced to death and hanged on 4 February 1926.
Views on Western civilization
In his book ''Medeniyet-i Şer'iyye ve Terakkiyat-ı Diniyye'' (The Civilization of the Sharia and Religious Progress), he presents his views on what is beneficial and what is not in Western civilization:<blockquote>Materially and spiritually, the Western civilization has two aspects, one of which is useful and one of which is harmful to humanity. The hadiths of our Prophet clearly allow and encourage the adoption of useful innovations of Western civilization by Muslims: "If one person invents something beautiful and this invention becomes useful to the people, this inventor would be blessed by God until the Day of Judgment," and, "You (people) know better the worldly matters.“ These hadiths clearly show that the Islamic religion does not forbid good and utilitarian inventions that will benefit the Muslim community and ensure its progress. The use of all tools and skills – from the sewing needle to railroads, artillery, iron-clad warships and dreadnoughts, airplanes, and instruments of communication, land and sea trade, various arts and crafts, factories, agricultural tools and any other useful invention – is condoned and recommended in Islam. To prepare the ground for these inventions, Islam in fact orders the education of every individual, male and female. As understood from the works of European sociologist Gustave Le Bon, industry, like other aspects of civilization, was first instituted six or seven thousand years ago in Asia by the Assyrians, later moving to Egypt. The development of early Greek art is due to the influence of the civilizations of the Tigris and the Nile. Thanks to this favorable attitude towards science and scholarship, Muslims adopted the scientific discoveries of the earlier civilizations of Egypt and Greece, and later surpassed these civilizations by excelling in the arts and sciences.
As a consequence of crusades to Muslim countries, [European] Crusaders brought Islamic arts to Europe. This prepared the ground for the rise and blossoming of European art. Europeans marvelled at the radiant splendor of the Andalusian civilization in Iberia [Spain and Portugal]. In these ages [<nowiki/>early Middle Ages], western Europeans had languished in a miserable condition, living in savagery, ignorance, and darkness. The origins of Western civilization are, therefore, found in Eastern civilization.
Despite this, Islam inaugurated a new era for the development of the useful aspects of progress and created a wonderful civilization. One could wonder why today's Muslims are deprived of these high values. We believe that the most obvious answer is because they neglected one of the important requirements of the Muslim religion: to work in order to earn. Muslims could benefit from their religion only by living their life, conducting their business and acting according to the high principles of Islam and applying them faithfully. If Muslims keep these principles only in books and other documents and do not actually apply them to their daily life, they cannot benefit from them. The Prophet Muhammad said: "some knowledge is like ignorance.“ Knowledge that is not put into practice is no different from the lack of knowledge. The learned person who does not use this knowledge cannot distance himself from the common people. It is clear that the Islamic religion allows and encourages the good and beneficial aspects of Western civilization, and forbids the decadent, immoral, vice-prone and ugly side of it (such as unbelief [atheism], oppression, prostitution, gambling, drinking alcohol, or dancing). Islam prohibits the immoral aspects of Western civilization, such as bars, theatres, brothels and gambling dens. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden in Islam to imitate the Western lifestyle and live like non-Muslims. In fact, Western civilization is far from being a model civilization for humanity to adopt, since it does not take an interest in the moral aspects and spiritual happiness of humanity, but focuses only on material gains and encourages mankind's animal instincts.</blockquote>

John Jennings (tutor)
|
John Jennings (c. 1687 – 1723) was an English Nonconformist minister and tutor of an early dissenting academy at Kibworth, Leicestershire, the original institution that became Daventry Academy. Jennings through his teaching and pedagogic writings was a major influence on the Dissenting educational tradition.
Life
Jennings’s father, John Jennings (1634–1701), a native of Oswestry, Shropshire, was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, and was ejected from the rectory of Hartley Wespall, Hampshire, after the Act of Uniformity 1662. The elder John Jennings was afterwards a private chaplain at Langton, near Kibworth, and founder of the independent congregation at Kibworth, where he purchased a small estate. A younger son, David Jennings, became known as tutor of the Coward Trust academy in Wellclose Square.
Jennings was educated at Timothy Jollie's academy at Attercliffe, and succeeded his father as independent minister at Kibworth, where from 1715 he conducted a nonconformist academy. His students included Philip Doddridge, who carried on the academy tradition in various locations; others were Sir John Cope and John Mason, the writer on Self-Knowledge. In July 1722 Jennings became minister of the Presbyterian congregation at Hinckley, and moved his academy to that town, where a new meeting-house was immediately built for him. Next year he fell a victim to smallpox, and died at Hinckley on 8 July 1723.
Pedagogy
The four years' course of study was documented by Doddridge, who comments on his tutor's thoroughness of method and liberality of spirit. Doddridge took Jennings's theological lectures as the basis of his own. Alexander Gordon, writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, describes John Jennings as more able and original than his brother David.
He published:
Miscellanea in usum Juventutis Academicæ,, Northampton, 1721, a handbook to the studies of his academy.
Logica in usum, Northampton, 1721, includes a system of phonetic shorthand.
A Genealogical Table of the Kings of England.
Posthumous was Two Discourses, 1723, (preface by Isaac Watts); 4th edition, 1754. These were lectures on preaching; they were recommended by two bishops, and were translated into German.
Family
Jennings was twice married, his second wife being Anna Letitia, daughter of Sir Francis Wingate, by Anne, daughter of Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Anglesey. He left four children, Arthur, John, Francis, and Jane. John, "the wit of Doddridge's academy", was minister (ordained 12 August 1742) at St. Ives, Huntingdonshire, and left the ministry about 1756 from a failure of speech. Jane married John Aikin, and became the mother of Anna Letitia Barbauld.

History
The company was founded in 1886 when George B. DeArment, a blacksmith from Evansburg, Pennsylvania (present day Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania), began hand-forging farrier's tools and selling them from town to town out of the back of a wagon. He would spend the Winter forging tools, load up his wagon in the Spring when roads became passable, and set out selling his tools. When he ran out of tools, he would sell the wagon and buy a train ticket home to Evansburg. The business eventually became known as the Champion Bolt and Clipper Company.
In 1904, the company moved to a facility in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and added nippers, pinchers and open-end wrenches to its product line. George B. DeArment’s two sons, Almon W. and J. Howard DeArment, became partners in the company in 1911 and expanded the product line again to include hammers. In 1923, the company moved again to a facility at its current location in Meadville. Four years later, the name of the company was changed to the Champion–DeArment Tool Company. was granted, and in 1949, a trademark for the name "Channellock" was granted, with a first-use date of May 1, 1932.
From this point to the 1960s, the company began to focus more on the fast-growing pliers side of its business, developing improvements to the original design. The word "Channellock" eventually became so synonymous with their product that the company changed its name to Channellock, Inc. in 1963 to capitalize on the popularity of its product.
In February of 2025, Channellock has partnered with Cody New and Rick Sauder of [https://multyrack.com MULTY® Rack Systems] from British Columbia, Canada, to expand into the automotive accessory market. This new partnership adds modular automotive accessories to the existing hand-tool market Channellock is known for.

DeArment serving as President & COO, and Ryan DeArment serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The company is based out of two facilities, totaling , in Meadville. , the company claimed to be among the largest employers in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, with over 350 full-time employees.Gallery

Spomenka Hribar
|
Spomenka Hribar (born 25 January 1941) is a Slovenian author, philosopher, sociologist, politician, columnist, and public intellectual. She was one of the most influential Slovenian intellectuals in the 1980s, and was frequently called "the First Lady of Slovenian Democratic Opposition", and "the Voice of Slovenian Spring" She is married to the Slovenian Heideggerian philosopher Tine Hribar.
Early life
She was born Spomenka Diklić in Belgrade, then the capital of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, to a Serb father (Radenko Diklić) and a Slovene mother (Marija Jelica Mravlje). Her father died at the Glavnjača prison, where the opponents of the collaborationist state of Milan Nedić were imprisoned. After World War II, she moved with her mother to Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia. She spent her childhood in the village of Žiri. After finishing high school in Škofja Loka, she enrolled at the University of Ljubljana, where she studied philosophy and sociology. She graduated in 1965 with a thesis on Marx's concept of freedom. Between 1965 and 1966, she was co-editor of the student magazine Tribuna. Under her solicitation, the magazine became one of the first Yugoslav student journals which also published pieces by students of theology. Among the young theologians sponsored by Hribar was also Anton Stres, later archbishop of Ljubljana who shared the same scholarly interest as Hribar in the Marxist and Hegelian conceptions of freedom.
In 1969, she got a job at the Institute for Sociology of the University of Ljubljana. Although, a member of the Communist Party, she grew alienated from Marxism in the 1970s. Under the influence of the literary historian Dušan Pirjevec and the philosopher Tine Hribar, whom she later married, she developed an interest in the phenomenological philosophy of Martin Heidegger. In 1975, after the poet and thinker Edvard Kocbek publicly denounced the mass killings of Slovene Home Guard members by the Communist regime after World War II, she dedicated most of her intellectual endeavours to the understanding and explaining what she called the tragedy of Slovenian resistance and revolution during and after World War II.
The public intellectual
In the 1980s, Spomenka and her husband Tine Hribar became important members of a newly formed circle of critical Slovene intellectuals, gathered around the journal Nova revija. In 1983, she started writing the essay "Guilt and Sin" (Krivda in greh), which became one of the most influential texts in post-war Slovenia. In the essay, meant for publishing in a collective volume on Edvard Kocbek, she denounced the mass killings in Slovenia after World War II.
In early 1984, the essay leaked to the officials of the League of Communists of Slovenia. In September of the same year, shortly before the planned issue of the volume, the official Slovenian press launched a campaign against Spomenka Hribar, accusing her of counter-revolutionary attitudes and slander against the partisan resistance. In 1985, she was expelled from the Communist Party. Despite the denigration campaign, many important public figures rose to her defence, including the sociologist Pavle Gantar. In this period, she was first called "the Slovene Antigone", an epitome that has stuck to her since then. In 1987, she was a co-author of the Contributions for the Slovenian National Program, a collective text in which several Slovene public intellectuals and scholars demanded a sovereign and democratic Slovenian state.
Political activism
In 1989, she was one of the co-founders of the Slovenian Democratic Union, one of the first anti-Communist parties in Slovenia. Together with her husband Tine Hribar and the jurists France Bučar and Peter Jambrek She became one of the party's foremost theoreticians. In the first free elections in Slovenia in April 1990, won by the Democratic Opposition of Slovenia, she was elected to the Slovenian Parliament. Between 1990 and 1991, she was very active in the endeavours for the separation of Slovenia from Yugoslavia. Together with Jože Pučnik, she emerged as the leader of the DEMOS coalition majority in the Lower Chamber of the Slovenian Parliament.
At the same time, she grew increasingly critical to the right wing of the DEMOS coalition, embodied by the Slovene Christian Democrats, whom she accused of backing the Roman Catholic Church and favouring their own sectarian vision of neo-conservative revisionism against the common endeavours for Slovenian independence from Yugoslavia. After the Ten-Day War, Hribar turned against the conservative wing of her own party, the Slovenian Democratic Union. The clash resulted in the split of the party between the social liberal Democratic Party and the liberal conservative National Democratic Party, which occurred in late 1991. In 1992, Hribar was among those who pushed for the dissolution of the DEMOS coalition, and backed the formation of a centre left government under the Liberal Democrat Janez Drnovšek.
Public figure after 1992
Before the elections of 1992, Spomenka Hribar caused a famous controversy with the article "Stopping the Right Wing" (Zaustaviti desnico, sometimes erroneously rendered as an imperative, Zaustavite desnico, that is "Stop the Right Wing!"). In the article, she warned against the rise of right wing discourse in post-independence Slovenia.
After the failure of the Democratic Party in 1992, Hribar withdrew from party politics, but remained in public life as a commentator and columnist. In her articles, she has stood up for various left liberal values in various contexts, from bioethics to immigration and integration policies. Her criticism towards the Slovenian right wing gradually brought Hribar closer to the Slovenian left wing, including then- President of Slovenia Milan Kučan and the third way reformist circles within the United List of Social Democrats. She frequently, however, took a more nationalist stand regarding foreign policy, especially the border disputes with neighbouring Croatia. However, both later accused Janša of populism and condemned his conciliatory attitude towards the conservative sections of Slovenian Catholicism.
Spomenka Hribar turned against Janša in 1996, denouncing his "right wing turn" and accusing him of a sectarian and paranoiac conception of politics. She later intensified her criticism, accusing him of authoritarianism and demagoguery. Differently from her husband Tine Hribar, who became more conciliatory towards Janša after 2004, seeing him as an essentially positive figure in Slovenian conservativism and implicitly supporting him in the 2004 elections,
She maintained her position against the conservative politician. In 2007, she accused him of corruption and anti-democratic attitudes. Janša has accused Hribar of fostering personal animosity against his person, and stimulating a climate of culture wars in Slovenia. In Janša's view, Hribar has always had a deep disinterest in economic policies; she has failed to analyse the true power and economic relations in Slovenian society by obscuring them with both ideological mystifications and personal obsessions, thus helping the liberal economic and political establishment that has hegemonized the Slovenian public sphere since the 1990s. Spomenka's husband, Tine, who shared her political views throughout the 1990s, has maintained a substantially positive opinion of Janša since 2004.
In 2009, the youth wing of the New Slovenia party claimed Spomenka had collaborated with the Yugoslav Secret Police (UDBA) based on a number with her name in leaked files. However, the file number is among the range associated with people that were monitored by the secret police, rather than those that collaborated with them.

Mascarita Dorada
|
Professional wrestling career
The wrestler who would later become known as Mascarita Dorada made his debut in early 2000 after training under Indio Vitela for over a year. In 2001 he made his first Triplemanía appearance at Triplemanía IX where he teamed with La Parkita and Octagoncito to defeat Mini Abismo Negro, Rocky Marvin and Espectrito. On August 6, 2001 Mascarita Sagrada defeated Rocky Marvin to win the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship. On February 1, 2004 Mascarita Sagrada lost the Mexican Minis title to Mini Abismo Negro, ending his almost three-year-long reign. When he left AAA he was still the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Champion and has never officially been stripped of the title, the title is considered inactive from the moment he left AAA. Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2007–2011) Since AAA held the rights to the name "Mascarita Sagrada" and because CMLL wanted to market him as a "CMLL creation" they decided to give him a new outfit, mask and name – creating the gold and black outfit and mask of Mascarita Dorada ("Little Golden Mask"). The win earned Mascarita Dorada a title match for the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship the following week, but lost to then champion Pequeño Damián 666. On March 31, 2008 Mascarita Dorada teamed up with Bam Bam and Tzuki to defeat Fire, Pequeño Damián 666 and Pierrothito on the undercard of the 2008 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show.
In August, 2008 Mascarita Dorada worked a four-date tour of Portugal arranged by the Southern California-based Pro Wrestling Revolution. On three of the nights Dorada defeated Pierrothito in singles matches and on one night he teamed with El Hijo de Rey Misterio to defeat Pierrothito and American Pride. By the fall of 2008 Mascarita Dorada's matches were so well received and he became so popular with the fans that CMLL decided to create a large version of the character, Mascara Dorada. This was the first time ever that a regular sized wrestler was based on a Mini and not vice versa. The following week Dorada lost to Pierrothito, furthering the storyline feud between the two. Mascarita Dorada participated in the 2009 version of the Pequeños Reyes del Aire tournament, but was not able to repeat the success of the previous year. Four days later Mascarita Dorada was one of thirteen Mini-Estrellas who put their mask on the line in a Lucha de Apuesta cage match, Dorada was the last to escape the cage leaving Pierrothito and Shockertito to fight over who had to unmask. On March 6, 2009 Mascarita Dorada once again participated in an "All-Minis" cage match where all 14 wrestlers put their masks on the line. This time Pierrothito was the last to escape the cage, leaving Mascarita Dorada and Sombrita to fight it out. Mascarita Dorada pinned Sombrita and forced him to unmask after the match, per Lucha libre traditions.
Throughout 2009 Mascarita Dorada and Pierrothito has faced off several times, both in CMLL and for various other promotions including PWR, Toryumon and two matches in August, 2009 for Chikara that the two split between them with one win each. The two were also involved in a 15-man cage match under Lucha de Apuesta rules, this time mixed Mini-Estrellas and local wrestlers. In the end Mascarita Dorada escaped, once again leaving Pierrothito as one of the men fighting for his mask. At the CMLL's Sin Salida show on December 4, 2009 Mascarita Dorada defeated Pequeño Damián 666 in a Lighting Match, a one fall match between two single competitors.
On February 28, 2010 Mascarita Dorada wrestled for El Hijo del Santo's Todo x Todos promotion on a show in Brussels Belgium where he wrestled as Santocito, a mini version of El Santo, the first time a Mini version of El Santo has ever been allowed in wrestling. Mascarita Dorada was fired by CMLL in early March 2010 for participating in a Hijo del Santo promoted show after being told he was not allowed to do so.
Mascarita Dorada returned to CMLL on April 2, 2010 wrestling on the Friday night Super Viernes show, before finally quitting the promotion in October 2011.
Independent circuit (2011–2012)
After leaving CMLL, Mascarita Dorada began working for El Hijo del Santo under the new ring name Mascarita Plateada, under which he went on to win World Wrestling Association's World Minis Championship on November 3, 2011. On January 29, 2012, Dorada made an appearance for Southern California-based Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), teaming with B-Boy, Candice LeRae and Cedric Alexander in an eight-person tag team match, where they defeated Demus 3:16, Joey Ryan, Peter Avalon and Ray Rosas.Return to AAA (2011–2012)On November 14, he returned to AAA under the Mascarita Dorada ring name, attacking Los Mini Psycho Circus. In his AAA return match on December 16 at Guerra de Titanes, Dorada pinned AAA World Mini-Estrella Champion Mini Psicosis (not to be confused with the original Mini Psicosis) in a six-man tag team match. On May 19, 2012, Mascarita Dorada received his first shot at the AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship, but was defeated by Mini Psicosis, after being unmasked and hit with the illegal Martinete maneuver. WWE (2013–2016)
and Fernando during a WWE house show in 2013]]
On April 3, 2013, it was reported that Mascarita Dorada had signed a developmental deal contract with WWE. He adopted and made his debut under the ring name El Torito on the September 30, episode of Raw, as the mascot of Los Matadores.
On January 26, 2014, El Torito participated in his first Royal Rumble match entering at #20; eliminating Fandango before being eliminated by Roman Reigns. He scored his first victory in a ten-man tag match on the February 24 episode of Main Event, after pinning Heath Slater. He started his first rivalry, with Hornswoggle, who is another smaller size wrestler in the WWE, of Heath Slater's 3MB. They fought at Extreme Rules, where El Torito defeated Hornswoggle in a WeeLC match. They had a rematch at the Payback pre-show in a Mask vs. Hair match, in which Torito won again and proceeded to shave Hornswoggle bald post-match.
On March 29, 2015, a fatal four-way for the WWE Tag Team Championship took place on the WrestleMania 31 pre-show, with Los Matadores included, but they failed to win the titles.
On the September 7 episode of Raw, El Torito set up a distraction for Los Matadores during a tag team match against The Dudley Boyz, costing them the victory. Post-match, he was assaulted by Diego, but was saved by The Dudley Boyz, who performed an Aided superbomb through a table on him. This would mark the end of his association with Los Matadores. Following the end of the stable as a trio, El Torito mainly just appeared in backstage comedy segments, before not appearing on TV any longer.
On May 6, 2016, after not making any appearances on WWE television in 2016, it was announced that El Torito had been released from his WWE contract, along with several other wrestlers.
Return to independent circuit (2016–present)
He is currently working for various promotions returning to the ring name Mascarita Dorada.
Other media
Mascarita Dorada appeared in the motion picture Nacho Libre as one of the wrestling dwarves called "Los Duendes". He is credited as "El Duende #2". He also played himself in the animated film Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon
Personal life
As Mascarita Dorada's real name is not known, very little is known about his personal life. He has two brothers who both also work as Mini-Estrellas. One brother works as Novillerto, a bullfighter character similar to that of Oscar Sevilla. His older brother works under the name Misteriocito (the mini version of Misterioso). Both Misterioso and Misteriocito have worked extensively in the Southern California area.

Rafael Navarro (photographer)
|
thumb|Navarro during FotoArtFestival in Bielsko-Biala, 2015
Rafael Navarro Garralaga (born 8 October 1940 in Zaragoza) is a Spanish art photographer.
Biography
Navarro's interest in photography began in the 1970s, starting his career on theatre and sports photography. But finally, he became very fond of visual arts where he started to develop a more personal language. We can point out of his career on the photograph series that he has actually broken up with the medium and that he has contributed to the creation of an alternative photographic discourse, as for example the diptychs, which a combination of two images appear without connection, offering a photographic different and unusual view. He was very active in the world of photography, founding in 1977 with Manuel Esclusa, Joan Fontcuberta y Pere Formiquera, the group Alabern. A year later he was appointed representative of the Lationamerican Council of Photography and in 1985 member of the Advising Counsel of the Miró’s Foundation. His works have been exhibited in art galleries and museums all over the world in more than 500 occasions and it is part of important collections like the Bibliothèque Nationale, la Maison européenne de la photographie of Paris, the contemporary museums of Brussels, Mexico, Buenos Aires or Japan, as well as the Pilar i Joan Miró’s collections, the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern or the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Among his more than 700 publications we must enhance books like Dípticos (1986), Le forme del corpo (1997), Catalogue Raisonné 1975-1998 (2000), Don’t disturb (2001), Photobolsillo 44 (2002), En el taller de Miró (2006) and the recent Cuerpos Iluminados (2006).

The London Film Museum, founded and created by Jonathan Sands in February 2008, was a museum dedicated to the British film industry. It was previously known as The Movieum of London and was originally situated in County Hall, but moved to a Covent Garden location in April 2012.
It exhibits original props, costumes and sets from feature films. There was originally a section on how films are made, including information on all the major studios. Original pieces included costumes and props from British films, the autogyro 'Little Nellie' from You Only Live Twice, an original Superman meteor, the Rank Organisation gong used in their opening titles, and armour made by Terry English. There was also a corridor explaining how films are made with the chance to talk to those involved.
Two previous special exhibitions have been:
Ray Harryhausen - Myths & Legends. This 2010 exhibition featured original creatures from Ray Harryhausen's films including Pegasus, Medusa, and Talos.
Charlie Chaplin - The Great Londoner. This covered his early life in Lambeth, and featured Chaplin's original bowler hat and cane with storage boxes.

From March 2014, the Museum was dedicated to the Bond in Motion - The Largest Official Collection of James Bond Vehicles exhibition. This featured cars, other vehicles and original props from the film series. Bond in Motion closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. From July 2021 it was replaced by the Harry Potter Photographic Exhibition.

Mesowear
|
Mesowear is a method, used in different branches and fields of biology. This method can apply to both extant and extinct animals, according to the scope of the study. Mesowear is based on studying an animal's tooth wearing fingerprint. In brief, each animal has special feeding habits, which cause unique tooth wearing. Rough feeds cause serious tooth abrasion, while smooth one triggers moderate abrasion, so browsers have teeth with moderate abrasion and grazers have teeth with rough abrasion. Scoring systems can quantify tooth abrasion observations and ease comparisons between individuals.
Mesowear definition
The mesowear method or tooth wear scoring method is a quick and inexpensive process of determining the lifelong diet of a taxon (grazer or browser) and was first introduced in the year 2000.
The mesowear technique can be extended to extinct and also extant animals.
Mesowear analyses require large sample populations (>20), which can be problematic for some localities, but the method yields an accurate depiction of an animal's average lifelong diet. Mesowear analysis is based on the physical properties of ungulate foods as reflected in the relative amounts of attritive and abrasive wear that they cause on the dental enamel of the occlusal surfaces. Mesowear was recorded by examining the buccal apices of molar tooth cusps. Apices were characterized as sharp, rounded, or blunt, and the valleys between them either high or low. The method has been developed only for selenodont and trilophodont molars, but the principle is readily extendable to other crown types. In collecting the data the teeth are inspected at close range, a hand lens will be used. Mesowear analysis is insensitive to wear stage as long as the very early and very late stages are excluded.
Mesowear analysis follows standard protocols. Specimens are digitally photographed in labial view so that cusp shape and occlusal relief can be scored.
this method helps zoologists and nutritionists to prepare proper kind of hay for captive feral herbivores with unknown feed habits in zoos.
In collecting the data the teeth are inspected at close range, using a hand lens.
Gravity toward lower teeth causes more abrasion on lower teeth than upper teeth. This fact is base of mesowear method.
Shape definition
Sharp: A sharp cusp terminates to a point and has practically no rounded area between the
mesial and distal phase I facets,
Round: a rounded cusp has a distinctly rounded tip (apex) without planar
facet wear but retains facets on the lower slopes.
Blunt: blunt cusp lacks distinct facets altogether.
Image:MESOWEAR1.png|mesowear variate
Image:Mesowearshape.png|mesowear shape
Terminology
The attrition: this kind of dental wearing is as a result of rubbing tooth to tooth and no external forces cause this enamel abrasion.usually browsers feed contains less food abrasive materials( such as silica because of feed selecting behavior in this animals so wearing type of browser ungulates will be this type in most cases.
The abrasion: rubbing food to tooth triggers this kind of tooth wearing more visible for grazer animals than browsers.

Google Person Finder is an open source web application that provides a registry and message board for survivors, family, and loved ones affected by a natural disaster to post and search for information about each other's status and whereabouts. It was created by volunteer Google engineers in response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Google Person Finder is written in Python and hosted on Google App Engine. Its database and API are based on the People Finder Interchange Format (PFIF) developed in 2005 for the Katrina PeopleFinder Project.
History
Immediately after the 2010 Haiti earthquake a group of 20 volunteer engineers developed Person Finder. The software was based on Ka-Ping Yee's work on the [http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20010914220553/http://safe.millennium.berkeley.edu September 11 survivor registry] and on the PFIF data standard. Google also worked with the United States Department of State to create an embeddable version, which was embedded on the State Department's website and other websites. Google Person Finder launched in English, French, and Haitian Creole on January 15, less than three days after the earthquake.
As with previous response efforts to the September 11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, many different organizations created sites with lists of missing persons, leading to a concern that information would be scattered across incompatible information silos. Using PFIF, Google Person Finder aggregated the data from many of these sites, including registries run by CNN, the Miami Herald, and The New York Times.
Google's work on the Haiti earthquake led to the formation of the Google Crisis Response team, For the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Google also set up a Picasa account to allow people to submit photos of the name lists posted in emergency shelters, to be manually transcribed and entered into Google Person Finder.

The system was tracking 202,400 names as of March 15, 2011 and more than 600,000 as of April 4, 2011.DetailsSites that adopt PFIF may interconnect with each other by exporting and transmitting data or allowing their site to be scraped; sites such as blogs and narrative accounts that are not compatible are reviewed by volunteers who key missing person information in PFIF format.

Stenocarpus umbelliferus
|
Stenocarpus umbelliferus is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. It has a prostrate or upright habit, growing up to 5 metres in height. Stems are flattened when young, later becoming rounded. The leaves are thick and leathery with a slightly wavy margin. These may be ovate, elliptic, lanceolate or spathulate in shape with petioles that are 3 to 12 mm long. White, cream or pale yellow flowers occur in groups of 3 to 8 per umbel. These are followed by dark-coloured glabrous follicles that are 25 to 80 mm long and 3 to 5 mm wide.<ref name=Endemia/>
The species was collected by botanist Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster during James Cook's second voyage (1772-1775) and formally described by them in 1775.<ref name=MW/>
Two varieties are currently recognised:
*Stenocarpus umbelliferus var. billardieri <small>(Brongn. & Gris) Guillaumin</small>
*Stenocarpus umbelliferus <small>(JR.& G.Forster) Druce</small> var. umbelliferus<ref name=Endemia/>
The species is common at altitudes between 20 and 1300 metres on the mainland as well as the Isle of Pines.<ref nameEndemia/>References

Sílvio (footballer, born 1987)
|
He made his debut in the competition on 24 August in a 1–1 home draw against Benfica, and finished his second season with 27 appearances to help the Vila do Conde side to the 12th place, above the relegation zone.
In July 2010, Sílvio joined S.C. Braga, scoring his first top-flight and professional goal on in a 1–0 home win over C.S. Marítimo and playing 38 official games in his only season, including nine in the Minho club's runner-up run in the UEFA Europa League; he also began suffering from injury problems in this timeframe.Atlético MadridSílvio was confirmed as an Atlético Madrid player on 19 May 2011, on a five-year deal. He first appeared in La Liga on 28 August in a 0–0 home draw with CA Osasuna in which he played the full 90 minutes. On 20 November he suffered a knee injury against Levante UD, from which he went on to relapse several times.
In early January 2013, Sílvio was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña until the end of the campaign, reuniting with several compatriots including manager Domingos Paciência, also his boss at Braga. He featured almost exclusively as left-back during his spell with the Galicians and even managed to score twice, in wins against RC Celta de Vigo (3–1 home victory) and RCD Mallorca (3–2 away win), but his team eventually suffered relegation.
Sílvio returned to Benfica on 10 July 2013, joining on a season-long move. His spell was again marred by injuries, the most serious occurring on 10 April 2014 in a Europa League quarter-final match against AZ Alkmaar, when he fractured both the fibula and tibia on his right leg after missing the ball and kicking teammate Luisão instead.
On 1 September 2014, Sílvio was loaned to defending champions Benfica again for one year. On 15 July 2015, the move was extended for a further campaign, and he totalled only 17 competitive games across both spells.Wolverhampton WanderersOn 30 July 2016, Sílvio signed a one-year deal (with the option of a second) with English Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers after having his contract at Atlético terminated by mutual consent. Injury prevented him from making his competitive debut until 20 September, in a 2–0 away defeat against Newcastle United in the League Cup. His maiden league appearance occurred the following week, in a 2–1 loss at Wigan Athletic.
On 22 October 2016, in his debut at the Molineux Stadium, Sílvio scored an own goal in a 0–1 defeat to Leeds United, which ultimately caused head coach Walter Zenga to be sacked. After falling out of favour under interim Rob Edwards and then Paul Lambert, it was revealed that he had suffered what was thought to be a broken foot in December which would rule him out for up to four months.
Sílvio's return to action took place on 7 May 2017, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home victory over Preston North End and being subsequently praised for his performance. Later in that month, Wolves revealed that discussions were ongoing with the defender regarding the option for an additional 12-month deal, but despite the appointment of new manager and compatriot Nuno Espírito Santo, which he welcomed, it was announced on 26 June that his contract would not be renewed by mutual decision.
Return to Portugal
In early February 2018, Sílvio returned to both Portugal and Braga, joining their reserves in the LigaPro. He scored in his first-ever appearance in the competition, helping the visitors to a 3–2 away win against U.D. Oliveirense.
On 14 January 2019, Sílvio signed an 18-month deal with Vitória de Setúbal. He left the relegated team on 5 September 2020 to join Vitória S.C. for one season, under the management of his former Atlético and national teammate Tiago Mendes. Despite having been limited by a right thigh injury, the option to extend his contract for another year was enacted.
Sílvio left the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques in May 2022, with only 14 official matches to his credit. On 1 September, he was presented at U.D. Vilafranquense in the second tier. After his one season in Vila Franca de Xira, he retired at age 35.International careerSílvio made his debut for Portugal on 7 September 2010, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Norway for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers. He was overlooked for the final stages by manager Paulo Bento, however, due to injury.Career statisticsClub

Hamisi Constituency
|
Tiriki or Hamisi is home to the Tiriki subtribe of the Abaluyia. Hamisi Constituency is an electoral constituency in Kenya. It is one of five constituencies in Vihiga County. Hamisi Constituency includes seven electoral wards: Shiru Ward, Gisambai Ward, Shamakhokho Ward, Banja Ward, Muhudu Ward, Tambua ward, and Jepkoyai Ward. It has a population of 159,241 people.
History
The name Hamisi refers to Hamisi Division or sub-county of Vihiga county which is overseen by a District Officer. The name Hamisi also refers to Hamisi constituency which is represented in the Kenya National Assembly by a Member of Parliament. The name Hamisi also refers to the Administrative Capital of Hamisi Constituency where majority of government offices in the Division are located. The name Hamisi itself was derived from a trader who run a shop in the area from the early days of colonialism. The typical way the Tiriki refer to Hamisi is "Wa-Hamisi" which means the place of Hamisi.
Administrative
Tiriki is located in the Republic of Kenya in Vihiga County. Vihiga County is one of the five counties that formed the former Western Province. The other counties in the former Western Province are Kakamega (which Vihiga was previously a part of), Bungoma, and Busia. Trans-Nzoia County is located in the former Rift Valley but has a majority Abaluyia population. Nandi County in the former Rift Valley province also has a sizable but minority Abaluyia population.
Location and altitude
Hamisi lies at a latitude of 0.09°N and a longitude of 34.85°E. The average altitude is 1740 m above sea level.
Weather
Daily temperatures average a low of and a high of meaning the weather is very pleasant and mild. Rainfall ranges from a low of about 4 cm in February to a high of about 12 cm in October. October and April have over 20 days of rainfall. January and February average about 10 days of rainfall.
Agriculture
The main cash crop is tea, which is grown at higher altitudes in the region. Other crops are maize, millet, bananas, avocado, papaya, sweet potatoes and cassava. The inhabitants also rear cattle, goats, sheep and chickens.
Religion
Hamisi is headquarters to four main Christian Churches; the Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) at Nyang'ori, Friends' Church (Quackers) at Kaimosi, the African Divine Church at Boyani near Gamalenga and Israel (Nineve) Church at Jebrok. The prevalence of religious activities has not reduced undesirable delinquencies in this region. Literacy rates are above Kenyan Rural average; but a serious lack of educational tools to push this resource to the next level is the main challenge.
Demographics
Kaimosi, one of the notable towns in Hamisi, has been a major attraction to international visitors who come as students, Peace Corps volunteers, and missionaries. Some of the major schools in Hamisi are Kaimosi High Schools for boys and girls, Kaimosi Teachers College, Friends College Kaimosi, Kaimosi Special School, and Kaimosi Friends Primary School. Another attraction is the "Hill of Vision" or Javujiluachi in local dialect, Tiriki.
Unlike many other communities, the Tiriki have been able to preserve major aspects of their cultural heritage including their age group initiation rituals and rites.
Unemployment patterns in Hamisi mirror those of other similar areas in rural Kenya. Employment levels are low because of low agricultural production and an absence of other sectors such as manufacturing, retail, or transportation.
Politicians
The current Member of Parliament for Hamisi is Charles Gumini Gimose of Amani National Coalition(ANC). The former Member George Khaniri inherited the seat from his father, Nicodemus Khaniri, who died of a heart attack in 1994 as he was opening the new residence of a constituent, Dr. Tom Mulusa.

Sphinx of Taharqo
|
}}
The Sphinx of Taharqo is a granite gneiss statue of a sphinx with the face of Taharqo. He was a Nubian king, who was one of the 25th Egyptian Dynasty (about 747–656 BC) rulers of the Kingdom of Kush. It is now in the British Museum in London.
While the Sphinx of Taharqo is significantly smaller (73 centimeters long) than the Great Sphinx of Giza (73 meters long), it is notable for its prominent Egyptian and Kushite elements. The lion portrayed in the sphinx is done in classic Egyptian style, while the face of the Sphinx is clearly that of Taharqo. The hieroglyphs on the statue explain that it is a portrait of the great King Taharqo, the fourth pharaoh to rule over the combined kingdoms of Kush and Ancient Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period. The sphinx is made of sandy grey granite. His reign lasted from 690 when he succeeded Shebitqo (or Shabaka) to his death in 664 BCE. He was the son of Piye and Abar and the father to his daughter, Amenirdis II. He was a significantly important ruler, initiating a golden age for his new kingdom. Although Taharqo was not of Egyptian descent, he worshipped the Egyptian god Amun, built pyramids and temples in the Egyptian model, and had his officials write in Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The statue
of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt depicted as a sphinx, now exhibited at the British Museum. Taharqa was a recurring enemy of Esarhaddon, defeating his planned invasion of Egypt in 673 BC and in turn being defeated by Esarhaddon in 671 BC.]]
The statue is a sphinx, representing here the immense power of the Egyptian and Kushite pharaoh Taharqo, whose face is shown. The headdress bears two uraei, the Nubian symbol of kingship, and Taharqo's name appears in a cartouche on the sphinx's chest. The statue is called "a masterpiece of Kushite art."
The statue was excavated at Temple T, in the area east of the south-eastern part of the Temple of Amun at Kawa (now Gematon), in Nubia (now Sudan), during excavations there by the Archaeological Mission of the University of Oxford during the 1930s. Construction of the stone temple was started in 683 BC by Taharqo.
The statue is a British Museum "Highlight" object<ref name"britishmuseum1"/> and was selected as the twenty-second object in the series A History of the World in 100 Objects selected by British Museum director Neil MacGregor and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2010.<ref name"autogenerated1"/>

Taurus (consul 361)
|
Flavius Taurus (fl. 355–361) was a politician and a military officer of the Roman Empire. He was Praetorian Prefect of Italy and Africa, and consul in 361 AD.
Biography
His father was of humble origins. Taurus had three children, Armonius, died about 391, Eutychianus, praetorian prefect of the East and consul in 398, and Aurelianus, praetorian prefect of the East and consul in 400.
Taurus was praetorian prefect of Italy and Africa, as well as Patricius, from 355 to 361, and consul in 361. In the year of his consulate, the Caesar Julian, stationed in Gaul, was proclaimed Augustus by the troops and moved with the army against the Augustus Constantius II, who was in the East. When the news that Julian had crossed the Alps arrived in Rome, the consuls Taurus and Florentius, who supported Constantius, left the city; then Julian had them indicated in documents as fugitive consuls. Taurus was later convicted for this flight in the trial that was held at Chalcedon in 361 and sent into exile in Vercelli.

The White Dacha (; ) is the house that Anton Chekhov had built in Yalta and in which he wrote some of his greatest work. It is now a writer's house museum.
Building
The White Dacha was built in 1898 following Chekhov's success with The Seagull. He took up residence there after his father's death and to aid him with coping with tuberculosis. Chekhov planted a variety of trees including mulberry, cherry, almond, peach, cypress, citrus, acacia and birch. He also planted roses such as 'Cheshunt Hybrid', 'Cramoisi Supérieur', 'Gloire de Dijon', 'La France', 'Madame Joseph Schwartz', 'Madame Lombard', 'Princesse de Sagan', Rosa banksiae f. 'Lutea', 'Souvenir de la Malmaison', 'Turner's Crimson Rambler'..., and kept dogs and tame cranes.
The house was designed by L.N. Shapovalov. Aleksandr Kuprin described the house as follows,
<blockquote>
It was, perhaps, the most original building in Yalta. It is all white, pure, easy, beautifully asymmetrical, ... with a tower, and unexpected ledges, with a glass veranda below and an open terrace above, with scattered broad and narrow windows... ".
</blockquote>
V.N. Ladygensky mentioned that "a dacha in Crimea, in Аutka, near Yalta, was validly constructed, excellent".Noted visitorsChekhov was a noted host and entertained Leo Tolstoy, Feodor Chaliapin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Maxim Gorky at the Dacha. Leonid Kuchma and Vladimir Putin and their spouses visited the museum in 2003.<ref name"foundation"/><ref name"Independent"/>See also

thumbnail|Kanan Dhru, Founder & managing director of Research Foundation for Governance in India, at the World Economic Forum on India 2012
The Research Foundation for Governance in India (RFGI) is a think tank based in Ahmedabad, India, with the aim to research, promote, and enact legal and political changes in Gujarat and across India.
The Foundation is a non-partisan and independent organization which does not support any ideology, specific candidate, or party.
"Whether the graduates of the National Law Schools cater to the need of Bar/Bench?" – Rohit Moonka
"Freedom within the Law – The Search for Adivasi Autonomy" – Curtis Riep, 2009
RFGI impact
As part of the first phase of this project, RFGI had organised a panel discussion on the issue, on 5 July 2009, at GLS Auditorium, Gujarat. The event was graced by the Chief Justice of Gujarat, Justice Radhakrishnan as well as Dr. Madhava Menon, Founder Director, National Law School Bangalore and National Judicial Academy, Bhopal.
The seminar was able to generate debate and discussion on issues pertaining to legal reforms. Two of the recommendations which stemmed from the seminar are already in the stage of implementation:
RFGI has been invited by the Gujarat Bar Association as Advisors on their 'Education & Training' Committee and work has already begun on structuring courses for training of the young lawyers in Gujarat.
Shri Veerappa Moily, Union Law Minister, recently announced scholarships for young lawyers.
Consultation
The Foundation gets directly involved with Government projects and initiatives through its consultancy work. This involves working closely with different Government departments and organisations. One recent consultancy project was that on Library Development in the city of Ahmedabad for the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. RFGI's recommendations are now being implemented by the relevant Government authority.

Projects
1) Project on Understanding and Removing Entry Barriers to the Profession of Litigation
Research Foundation for Governance in India aims at motivating youth into the processes of governance. These include the fields of politics, administration, and judiciary. Unfortunately, the common perception of the profession of litigation and of judges is that of an inefficient, corrupt system full of delays and malpractices. The aim in this study is to ensure that the profession of litigation is welcoming to young law students. At the same time, it is desirable that the students from five-year as well as three-year colleges are adequately trained to best contribute to the profession and are ultimately working towards an efficient justice-delivery mechanism which will help society.
As part of the Phase-2 of the project, work has begun to increase the survey respondents to 1000. In parallel, work to develop a white paper containing concrete recommendations on reconsidering entry level requirements and working conditions for young law graduates in litigation is being undertaken. The white paper would also profile case-studies of some of the individuals who have established themselves as arguing lawyers despite adversity.
After the completion of the white-paper, the recommendations will be taken through a volley of round-table discussions with prominent people and opinion makers and finally culminate with publication of the same. RFGI thereafter aims to create awareness and lobby for the implementation of the recommendations to the relevant government departments as well as other stakeholders.
RFGI hopes that by implementing recommendations that help attract bright young people to the profession of litigation, many of the issues facing the Indian legal system will improve.
2) Project on Analysing Inner-party Democracy in Political Parties in India
This study aims at providing a link between a common Indian citizen and the main political parties. The basic objective is to raise awareness amongst citizens on how political parties function in terms of the democratic processes followed for its administrative and functional aspects. The research would also look at the way parties outline a career growth for a party member in terms of opportunity and accessibility, while looking at the broader question of the attractiveness of 'politics' as a career.
The message would be encapsulated in the premise of moving towards a more democratic and reformist model of political party functioning wherein party members get a bigger say in the functioning and decision making stages, making the party machinery reflect a complete inclusive system of all those involved. In the future, the aim is to create an evolved system with citizens having more faith in political parties, primarily derived from RFGI's proposed new model of meritocracy and fairness in all aspects, be it office bearers, ticket distribution etc.
A White Paper would be published on this research idea, taking it through a volley of round table discussions with prominent people and opinion makers and finally culminate with a grand seminar to raise awareness on this issue. RFGI thereafter aims to create new benchmarks and present the recommendations to relevant stakeholders as well as to people of the nation.
3) Study on "Preventive Law: lessons to be learnt from preventive medicine" under the guidance from Professor Dileep Mavalankar, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and Columbia School of Public Policy
Significant research and developments have been made in the field of preventive andsocial medicines, which have alleviated human suffering to a great extent. By spreading awareness about health and hygiene, vaccinations, spraying of medicines and other such measures, certain diseases have been reduced, and have been 'nipped in the bud'.
Like medicine, the role of the legal system of a country is also to alleviate human suffering. So far, the Indian legal system has concentrated on 'Remedial Measures', rather than adopt a preventive approach. The existing courts in India are flooded with cases. The number of pending cases in the courts of Gujarat is . At the same time, the citizens are less aware about their legal rights, and fear the system.
The objective of this paper is to draw a parallel between two disciplines which have similar objectives. The hypothesis is to test whether similar paths can be followed and lessons be learnt by the Indian legal system from the Preventive and Social Medicine.
The paper focuses on the Human Resource issues pertaining to Law and Medicine, particularly, on the entry requirements, professional qualifications, ethics and the population to provider ratios. The possibilities of customisation of legal assistance provided in different areas are explored. This paper also reviews certain legislations which can be better implemented and the disputes under which can be prevented by following certain key features of preventive medicine.
After the completion of the white-paper, the observations would be taken through round table discussions and disseminate the suggestions through publication and distribution of the paper. The suggestions would thereafter be presented to relevant government departments as well as other stakeholders and lobby for their implementation.
4) Study on "Efficiency and Accountability of Lok-Adalats in Gujarat” in partnership with Accountability Initiative, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi
Lok Adalat is an alternative form of dispute settlement mechanism, introduced in India in the early 80s. The main idea behind having them was to improve access to justice at local levels, and ease the burden on the regular courts due to millions of petty cases that clog up their scare resources, awaiting settlement. Lok Adalats provide a speedy, arguably fair
and deliberative form of dispute settlement, drawing on traditional methods of conciliation where the presiding judge – who is an experienced adjudicator with legal acumen and a record of public service – brings about an understanding between the claimants, and settles the cases as compromise between the two sides.
Due to a variety of reasons – ranging from misinformation and lack of awareness among people as to what the Lok Adalat was for, lack of knowledge and capacity on the part of the Lok Adalat benches to deal with the cases properly, and even intimidation of complainants against approaching Lok Adalats with their grievances, Lok Adalats often have limited results. Arguably, many of these problems in implementation could be addressed with some attention to detail, and a commitment to results on the part of the authorities. In theory Lok Adalats still remain a possible option to serve as a platform for solving cases at the pre-litigation stage.
Given this context, the research project aims to explore the efficacy and efficiency of Lok Adalats and test their accountability to the common Indian citizen.
5) Awareness seminars on Law & Governance in schools & colleges
One of the primary objectives of the foundation is to spread awareness on issues pertaining to governance and law amongst the citizens of India. The Foundation seeks to make people think about politics in a more positive way through making presentations in schools and colleges, organising discussions and debates, and by getting more and more people interested in the process of governance.

David Jennings (tutor)
|
David Jennings (1691–1762) was an English Dissenting minister and tutor, known also as the author of Jewish Antiquities.
Life
He was the younger son of the ejected minister John Jennings (1634–1701), whose ministry to the independent congregation at Kibworth was continued by his elder brother John. David passed through the Kibworth grammar school, and studied for the ministry (1709–14) at the Fund Academy in Moorfields, under Isaac Chauncy and his successors, Thomas Ridgley, D.D., and John Eames. His first sermon was at Battersea, 23 May 1714. In March 1715 he was chosen evening lecturer at Rotherhithe; in June 1716 he became assistant to John Foxon at Girdlers' Hall, Basinghall Street; on 19 May 1718 he was called to succeed Thomas Simmons as pastor of the independent congregation, Wapping New Stairs. Here he was ordained on 25 July 1718, and in this charge he remained till his death.
At the Salters' Hall debates of 1719 he sided with the non-subscribers, though a Calvinist. In 1733 he was selected by William Coward as one of the lecturers in Bury Street, St. Mary Axe; he became one of the Coward trustees in May 1743, and in August 1743 one of the Coward lecturers at Little St. Helen's.
Jennings's career as a divinity tutor began in 1744, on the death of Eames, whose successor he became under the Coward trust, the "congregational" fund at this point transferring its support to another academy. The presbyterian board sent him no students till 1758. Jennings extended the course of study from four years to five, and abandoned the boarding school model. The lectures were given in Wellclose Square, at the residence of Samuel Morton Savage, the tutor in classics and philosophy. Unlike his brother John, Jennings did not attempt lectures on an independent plan. The divinity textbook on which he lectured was the ‘Medulla Theologiæ’ of the Dutch divine, Van Marck. His lecture notes on the Moses and Aaron of Thomas Godwyn became the posthumous work on Jewish Antiquities, by which Jennings is best known.
A strict disciplinarian, he was suspicious of any heterodoxy. Two of his students, Thomas and John Wright, afterwards presbyterian ministers in Bristol, were expelled on grounds of doctrine; in fact the majority of his pupils became Arians, according to Alexander Gordon writing in the Dictionary of National Biography. Philip Furneaux, his editor, Joshua Toulmin, his biographer, and Abraham Rees, the encyclopedist, were among his students; Thomas Cogan and Thomas Jervis were under him for short periods. He encouraged the study of physical science, enjoyed astronomy, and had in practical mechanics as a hobby; he was also musical.
In May 1749 the university of St. Andrews, at Philip Doddridge's suggestion, sent him its diploma of D.D. He enjoyed good health till the last two years of his life, and died on Thursday, 16 September 1762.
Family
His eldest son, Joseph, married a daughter of Daniel Neal, by Elizabeth, sister of Nathaniel Lardner. Joseph Jennings's son David (died 6 December 1819) was the author of Hawkhurst, a Sketch of its History, &c., 1792; he had erected in 1789 a monument to Lardner, his great-uncle, in Hawkhurst Church, Kent.
Works
Jennings published several sermons, including an ordination sermon for John Jennings (1742) and funeral sermons for Daniel Neal (1743), Isaac Watts (1749), and Timothy Jollie (1757); also
‘The Beauty and Benefit of Early Piety,’ &c., 1730.
‘A Vindication of the Scripture Doctrine of Original Sin,’ &c., 1740, anonymous, against John Taylor of Norwich.
‘An Introduction to the Use of the Globes,’ &c., 1747; an appendix deals with some astronomical difficulties in the Book of Genesis.
‘The Scripture Testimony … an Appeal to Reason … for the Truth of the Holy Scriptures,’ &c., 1755,; several times reprinted; 1815, 12mo, with preface by B. Cracknell, D.D.
Posthumous were
‘An Introduction to the Knowledge of Medals,’ &c., 1763; reprinted, Birmingham, 1775.
‘Jewish Antiquities,’ &c., 1766, 2 vols.; reprinted in 1 vol., 1808, 1823, 1837, &c. Edited by Philip Furneaux.
His Bury Street lectures were published in 1735; he translated a tract of A. H. Francke on preaching, 1736, and issued an abridgment of Cotton Mather's life, 1744.

The film was released on 15 October 2010. It is a remake of the Tamil film Chithiram Pesuthadi. The film was later dubbed in Telugu as Kichcha in 2012.
Plot
Kichcha is a fearless kung-fu fighter, who saves the son of a local don Anna from being killed by members of a rival gang. In return, Anna hires Kichcha as his henchman. Kichcha's mother and younger sister dislike his association with the gang but have to live with his decision. One day, Kichcha stumbles upon Aishwarya aka Aishu, a worker at an NGO, who fights injustice. A quarrel ensues between them and they grow to dislike each other. Nobody has spoken up to Kichcha before, and he admires Aishu's courage. Whenever they bump into one another, Aishu berates Kichcha for being a gangster. Ashamed, Kichcha and his friends try to turn over a new leaf by selling toys at a sidewalk. Aishu is impressed by Kichcha's changed personality and decides to marry him. Her father gives her his blessings, though her uncle does not approve.
However, her hopes are shattered after she witnessed Kichcha being clumped away in a police truck from a brothel after a raid. She gives up her plans of being with him and blames her father for not raising her well enough to make the right decision. Later that day, her father commits suicide. Aishu blames Kichcha for ruining her life and causing her father's death. Kichcha and his friends return to work for Anna. Aishu's uncle arranges for her to be married to his own relative. However, Anna's son sees Aishu during her engagement and falls in love with her. Anna threatens Aishu's uncle to surrender his niece to him. After learning that Kichcha is part of Anna's gang, Aishu goes to confront him. Kichcha's friends reveal that he was only at the brothel that day to save his friend's family, who lives there.
Instead, Kichcha sees Aishu's father there, who was in the company of prostitutes. In order to give time for Aishu's father to flee the area, Kichcha creates a distraction by attacking the police officers. They beat him up and arrest him. Aishu realizes her mistake and asks Kichcha's friends to take her to him. Meanwhile, Kichcha has devised his own plans in attempt to thwart Anna's plans and save Aishu.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by V. Harikrishna with lyrics penned by Yogaraj Bhat.
Reception Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Gurudut gets his idea of comic relief - very little of which there is in the film - wrong too. His 'I live to eat' character fails to tickle your funny bone. Dialogues lack punch as well. The film comes with a message that things can go awfully wrong if you don't speak your mind. Watch this one if you must for the lead pair and only if you haven't seen the original Chithiram Pesudadi". A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Sudeep's performance is praiseworthy, while Ramya has put up a brillaint show. Srinath is gracious too, and Pushpa Swamy impresses the audience even in that only one scene that she appears on screen. V Harikrishna's music has some catchy tunes and Srivenkat's cinematography is equally good".ReferencesExternal links

The Historic Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a Masonic Temple located in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), on Calle San Lucas. The building was constructed for use by the Añaza Lodge between 1899 and 1902. It is considered one of the main Masonic temples in Spain, and the first in the Canary Islands.
It is considered the finest example of Masonic Temple in Spain and was the greatest Masonic Temple in Spain before Franco's military occupied the site.
History of the Añaza Lodge
The Añaza Lodge, the Canary Islands' most important 20th century Masonic lodge, was founded on August 8, 1895. It consolidated rapidly, causing Canary Island Masonry to reorganize in the first part of the century.
The Lodge was originally under the auspices of a second-order Spanish obedience, the Grande Oriente Ibérico, to which it remained united until 1902. The Grande Oriente Ibérico had emerged in 1892 from a group of lodges coming, mostly, from the Grande Oriente Nacional de España of the Viscount of Ros who, for various reasons, decided not to group around the Grande Oriente Español de Morayta.
In 1903, due to doubts about the true importance of the Grande Oriente Ibérico, they decided to change their auspices, becoming part of the renewed Grande Oriente Español with the number 270. The Añaza 270 Lodge lasted under this obedience until 1922. Between 1923 and 1931, during the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, the Añaza Lodge became part, with number 1, of the newly created Gran Logia de Canarias. In 1931, after a divergence of opinions, it was divided into two: the Añaza lodge No. 270, once again attached to the Gran Oriente Español, and the Añaza Lodge No. 1, with a smaller number of members who were expelled from the temple despite their claims. Añaza 270 remained in the Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on San Lucas Street and in the Gran Oriente Español until the military uprising of 1936, when it was dissolved and its assets confiscated by the rebels.
The building
The building contains strong symbolism, mostly inspired by the architectural tradition of ancient Egypt.

, on the facade of the Masonic Temple]]
The façade is divided into three sections, the central has two huge columns with a plain shaft and palm-leaf capitals, supporting a bulky triangular pediment. In this eye there is a radiant ray, representing the Supreme Being, Great Architect of the Universe according to Masonic symbolism. Flanking each column are two sphinxes (four in total) lying on their stomachs and covered with a nemes. They were carved by the sculptor Guzmán Compañ Zamorano (1878–1944). The main door is wood and carved with geometric patterns. The lintel is decorated with palm leaves and a sun with wings of an eagle, symbol of the deity Horus. The building stands on an stereobate.
The Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is located at the same latitude (28º north) of the Saint Catherine's Monastery of Mount Sinai (Egypt). This monastery was built in the place where according to the Old Testament, Moses received the Tables of the Law.
Looting
On September 15, 1936, in the first decree against Freemasonry issued by General Francisco Franco, this property was requisitioned and transferred to the Spanish Falange, which charged visitors who wanted to visit the Hall of Reflections. Shortly after, it would become the warehouse of the Military Pharmacy, an activity that was later combined with an optician for the Army, while at the top it was converted into a barracks for soldiers until it was closed in 1990 to date. The archives of the lodge were taken to the Delegation of Special Services of Salamanca, current "Civil War" Section of the National Historical Archive, where they continue.
Finally, in times of democracy, the State sold the building to the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council in 2001 for more than 470,000 euros.
Restoration
After years of numerous vicissitudes, in November 2021 the mayor of the city, José Manuel Bermúdez, presented the project to remodel the property, together with the author of the project, María Nieves Febles. In September 2022, the works began, which, with a budget of more than 3 million euros, have an execution period of approximately two years.
The building it was listed as a Site of cultural interest by the Government of the Canary Islands in 2007. In 2023 the building was declared a Monument to Historical Memory by the Government of the Canary Islands, that is, as a memorial to the victims persecuted by Franco's regime, Masons or not.
Scottish Rite Masonic Congress 2016
In November 2016 the Masonic international congress Convent of the Order, was held in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This is an event held annually in different parts of the world and was organized by the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for Spain. This conference helped raise funds for the rehabilitation of the Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. References <references/> Related articles * Fonseca House External links

The Ngwenya Mine is located on Bomvu Ridge, northwest of Mbabane and near the northwestern border of Eswatini (Swaziland). This mine is considered to be the world's oldest. The haematite ore deposit was used in the Middle Stone Age to extract red ochre, while in later times the deposit was mined for iron smelting and iron ore export.
Etymology
Ngwenya means "crocodile" in siSwati. This name comes from the fact that the mountains containing the mine was crocodile-shaped, before heavy-mining began in the 1960s and defaced this ancestral shape.BackgroundPhase 1Several stone age artefacts have been found in the mine during archaeological works in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their age was established with radiocarbon dating as older than 20,000 years. Later, radiocarbon dating yielded the age of the oldest mining activities as 41,000 to 43,000 years. This would make Ngwenya the oldest known mine. The site was known to Early Man for its deposits of red and specular haematite, used in cosmetics and rituals.Phase 2Red ochre from here was extracted by the ancestors of the San and used in rock paintings, which are common in Eswatini. By about 400 AD, pastoralist Bantu tribes had been based there from the north of the Lepelle river. They were familiar with the smelting of iron ore, and traded their iron widely throughout the African continent.Phase 3steam locomotive-hauled train of wagons loaded with iron ore from the Ngwenya Mine on the Goba railway, Eswatini (then known as Swaziland), 1970|altA CFM]steam locomotive-hauled train of wagons loaded with iron ore from the Ngwenya Mine on the Goba railway, Eswatini (then known as Swaziland), 1970]]
The haematite iron ore with the iron content of up to 60% was prospected in the middle of the 19th century. The Swaziland Iron Ore Development Company (SIODC), owned by the Anglo-American Corporation, started mining of the deposit in 1964. However, an estimated 32 million tons of ore remained in the soil. Supposedly the Anglo-American Corporation stopped prospecting the mine because it got flooded.
There was a plan to revive extraction activities in the mine, but the price of iron ore fell, making the project hardly profitable. The land was eventually donated to the Swaziland National Trust Commission for management.
The mine's visitor center opened in 2005.
In 2008, as the Swazi government was considering reopening the mine to extraction activities, the Swaziland National Trust Commission submitted the site to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites to protect it, but the submission was not accepted.
Those operations led to a heavy pollution of the water sources that feed the city of Mbabane. Among many environmental issues, the mining operations are a threat to Disa intermedia, a protected orchid growing exclusively in the region. Cases of corruption to get the mining license were reported, including a $28 million donation to the king by Salgaocar. The deal established a 25% ownership of the mine for the king, 25% for the government, and 50% to Salgaocar. Reports also claimed that Salgaocar was using Mozambican and South African trucks to avoid paying import taxes. 2,500 jobs were announced after the Salgaocar-Swazi deals, but the positions were never created.
In September 2018, the visitor center burnt to ashes. The National Trust Commission declared that all the ancient artifacts in the center were lost in the fire. The officers on site did not react when the fire started to spread.<ref name"burns ashes"/>See also*Malolotja National ParkReferences

Siegfried Zielinski
|
Siegfried Zielinski (born 1951) is a German media theorist. He held the chair for Media Theory: Archaeology and Variantology of the Media at Berlin University of the Arts, he is Michel Foucault Professor for Techno-Culture and Media Archaeology at the European Graduate School in Saas Fee, and he is director of the International Vilém-Flusser-Archive at the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2016 until March 2018, he succeeded Peter Sloterdijk as head of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design.
Biography
Siegfried Zielinski studied theatre, modern German literature, linguistics, semiotics, sociology, philosophy, and political theory in Marburg and Berlin, at the Free University and the Technical University. The major focus of his studies were on the field of advanced technical media, with Friedrich Knilli, whose institute had developed out of Walter Höllerer's Institute of Language in the Age of Technology.
In 1979 he wrote and directed the documentary film "Responses to HOLOCAUST in Western Germany" which is collected at Paley Center for Media in New York. He graduated in the same year with a thesis on Veit Harlan, which was also his first monograph published in 1981. His Ph.D. dissertation in 1985 on the History and Cultural Technique of the Video Recorder became the book "Zur Geschichte des Videorecorders". His habilitation, in 1989, was on high-definition television.
In 1989 he took up his first full professorship in audiovisual studies at the University of Salzburg in Austria, where he set up a department for teaching, research, and production of "Audiovisions". "Audiovisions" was also the title of his first book translated into English.
In 1993, Zielinski was appointed professor of communication and audiovisual studies at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne; where, in 1994, he became its founding director. In mid-2001, he returned to teaching and research, concentrating on history and theory, developing his multi-dimensional (or non-linear) approach to diverse genealogies of media he would call an-archaeology or variantology of media.
From 2007 until 2015, Zielinski held the chair in media theory and archaeology/Variantology of media at Berlin University of the Arts. From 2016 until March 2018, he was rector at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. He also teaches techno-aesthetics and media archaeology at the European Graduate School (EGS) in Saas Fee, Switzerland, where he holds the Michel Foucault professorship.

Do Hanson Ka Joda is the story of Preeti, a young dreamy girl who wants to marry a Bollywood "Prince Charming". However, in a turn of events, she marries Suryakamal, an ordinary middle class man. Her bubbly cousin Sumi, on the other hand, marries the handsome Rishi. Both the girls find their marriage to be not what it seems as Preeti realises what a loving husband Suryakamal is, while Sumi is regularly assaulted by her violent husband Rishi.
After Preeti and Suryakamal pay a visit to his aunt and begin their romantic journey together, both the girls have to urgently return to their maternal house as Preeti’s father leaves the family due to Chachi Ji's cunning plans. Radhika urges Vijay to see Chachi Ji's reality, but in turn is insulted and has to leave herself. As Suryakamal’s stepmother passes away, Suryakamal promises her he will unite the family.
Meanwhile, Suryakamal's sister Sajni had an earlier pending operation, which now succeeds. Preeti and Suryakamal soon find out about Rishi and get him arrested. Sumi now begins to live with them.
Preeti finds an opportunity to enter into a dance competition with Pushkar, and after much reluctance, Suryakamal ends up dancing with her in the finale and they win the competition. Sajni is about to marry Pushkar, when Chunni and Suryakamal find his violent truth out and stop the marriage.
Further, the plot develops into Suryakamal's selfish family where a property dispute emerges as Preeti's brother-in-law Neeraj is charged by Ritu for domestic violence. He reveals that the property in fact belongs to Chunni, due to which they - mainly Ammaji, and Ritu - plot against Preeti. Suryakamal learns of this, but they murder him and hide his body so no one can know the truth. Preeti is devastated by his disappearance and tortured by her in-laws, but soon runs into a con man who is a lookalike of Suryakamal - Chandar. He is mistaken for Suryakamal, and later finds out his lookalike's truth, revealing that Suryakamal has in fact died. Ritu and Ammaji discover this and frames Chandar for Suryakamal's murder, but it is proved otherwise. During the investigation, Preeti's dead body is found as part of a conspiracy to get her property, but fail as their plans are foiled and the truth is unveiled.
The end shows Preeti and Suryakamal's ashes being submerged together.

}}
Straight Ahead is a jazz studio album by saxophonist Oliver Nelson. It features acclaimed musicians such as Eric Dolphy on sax, clarinet and flute (his last appearance on a Nelson album following a series of collaborations recorded for Prestige), and Roy Haynes on drums. It was recorded in March 1961 at the celebrated Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs. All the pieces were first takes; Joe Goldberg recalls: "The session was scheduled for one in the afternoon and I arrived at 3:30, thinking that by then the music would have been rehearsed and the men would be starting to play. What I found was a studio empty of everyone but A&R man Esmond Edwards", the supervisor, "and engineer Rudy Van Gelder, who were packing up to leave and looking very satisfied." Released in 1961 for the Prestige/New Jazz label (as NJ 8255) and remastered in 1989, the album is notable for its long and thoughtful horn duets by Dolphy and Nelson. Don DeMicheal described the album "All in all, a warm, very human record".
Notes about the song titles
In the original liner notes, Joe Goldberg talks about some of the tracks in the album: "Six and Four" is so named because the piece shifts from 6/4 to 4/4. "Mama Lou" is named for Nelson's older sister, a teacher in St. Louis. Nelson stated that his sister was "one of those people who displays two different moods" and that he "tried to capture them both." Last but not least, "111-44" was so named because of an address number, the one from which Nelson had just moved.

Vulcacius Rufinus
|
Vulcacius Rufinus (died 368) was a Roman politician, related to the Constantinian dynasty.
Biography
Rufinus' siblings were Neratius Cerealis, Galla (the mother of Constantius Gallus), and the mother of Maximus. A pagan, he was pontifex maximus, consularis for Numidia, comes ordinis primi intra consistorium under the Emperor Constans I or his brother Constantius II, comes per Orientem, Aegypti et Mesopotamiae per easdem vice sacra iudicans from 5 April 342, praetorian prefect of Italy from 344 to 347 (between the prefectures of Fulvius Placidus and Ulpius Limenius), consul ordinarius prior in 347 with Flavius Eusebius, and praetorian prefect of Illyricum between 347 and 352.
During Rufinus' prefecture of Illyricum, Magnentius overthrew Constans. The usurper sent Rufinus, along with Marcellinus, Maximus and Nunechius, as envoys to Constantius II. Constantius had the other three men arrested, but Rufinus retained his liberty and his office. In 354, after the fall of Magnentius, he was praetorian prefect of Gaul, living in the capital Trier, but was replaced by Gaius Ceionius Rufius Volusianus Lampadius. Rufinus may have lost his post because his relative Constantius Gallus had fallen into disgrace with the Emperor.
Between 365 and 368 he was the praetorian prefect for Italy and Africa, succeeding Claudius Mamertinus, and of Gaul from 366 to 368. He died in service.

Jaime Martínez Tolentino

}}
Jaime Martínez Tolentino (born January 10, 1943) is a Puerto Rican writer. Early life and education At the age of four, Martinez Tolentino contracted polio, which left him crippled.
In 1951, he and his family emigrated to New York City where he lived until 1966. He attended New York University where he majored in French and French literature, while also studying Spanish literature and German. As an undergraduate he participated actively in the theater.
Academic career
He returned, briefly, to his native Puerto Rico where he was named French professor at The University of Puerto Rico. Then he left for Europe to pursue further studies. In France, he studied French at the Sorbonne, and then he relocated to Spain, where he studied both French and Hispanic literature. He received a PhD in French Literature from the Complutense University of Madrid and then returned to Puerto Rico.
Between 1970 and 1984, Martinez Tolentino taught French at the Mayaguez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, and he also published three books on French. Also during this period, he published a full-length play, and in 1984, he directed its staged version. One of his short stories was adapted for the stage in Puerto Rico in 1979.
Writing career
It was also during this period that he joined the group of young Puerto Rican writers connected to the literary magazine Mester: the novelist Carmelo Rodríguez Torres, the narrator Wilfredo Ruiz Oliveras, and the poets Luis Cartañá and Sotero Rivera Avilés. Under their influence, Martinez Tolentino began publishing short stories in journals and newspapers, and in 1975, he edited an anthology of their short stories. In 1980, he published his play La imagen del otro, and three years later, an original collection of short stories of the fantastic.
As he continued publishing in Spanish, his interest in Hispanic literature grew. He began taking graduate courses in Spanish and Puerto Rican literature, and then taught Spanish literature at the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico, while still also teaching French at the UPR.
In 1984, Martinez Tolentino resigned from his position as a French professor. He attended Purdue University in Indiana, where he acquired fluency in Portuguese, and then he transferred to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he received a second M.A. and a second PhD in Spanish and Latin American literature.
In 1990, he became a Spanish professor at the State University of New York's College at Buffalo, where he continued writing and producing plays. He retired from teaching in 2002, but not from writing and publishing. Publications Fiction – books

Frederick Winslow Hatch
|
Frederick Winslow Hatch (August 1, 1789 – January 14, 1860) was an Episcopal clergyman who served as Chaplain of the Senate of the United States.
Early years
Frederick Winslow Hatch was born August 1, 1789, in Blandford, Massachusetts, the son of Lucretia Rockwell and Timothy Hatch.
Ministry
Hatch was ordained a deacon by Bishop Thomas John Claggett in 1810. He served in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Edenton, North Carolina, (1811–1815) until he moved to All Saints' Church, Fredericktown, Maryland.
Hatch then served in Charlottesville, Virginia from 1820–1830, and while there, the original Christ Church was erected (1824-'25), this was the first denominational building in the village. The plan for the church was furnished, though not designed, by Thomas Jefferson, but it was demolished in 1895. He also preached at Buck Mountain Episcopal Church and Walker's during this time. The Hatch's home was about two miles down the road from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Family members recalled waving to General Lafayette, James Madison and other revolutionary figures on their way to see the former President.
In 1830 Hatch became the rector of Washington Parish, District of Columbia. While there, he served as Chaplain of the Senate from 1833 until 1835.
In 1836 he moved to St. Paul's Church, Poughkeepsie, New York.
He was the first rector of St Matthew's Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin, (then called Southport) where he went with his family in 1843 and stayed till moving to California in 1856 to live near his son.
He died in Sacramento, California, on January 14, 1860. He is interred in the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery.
Personal life
He married first, Frances Lowry Robertson in Baltimore in 1812; she died while they were in Edenton, North Carolina. He married secondly, Mary Ann Weatherburn They had four children, two sons and two daughters.

Te Aro (New Zealand electorate)
|
Te Aro was a parliamentary electorate in Wellington, New Zealand, from 1881 to 1890. It covered the southern area of the central business district. During the three parliamentary terms of its existence, the electorate was represented by three Members of Parliament.
Population centres
The previous electoral redistribution was undertaken in 1875 for the 1875–1876 election. In the six years since, New Zealand's European population had increased by 65%. In the 1881 electoral redistribution, the House of Representatives increased the number of European representatives to 91 (up from 84 since the 1875–76 election). The number of Māori electorates was held at four. The House further decided that electorates should not have more than one representative, which led to 35 new electorates being formed, including Te Aro, and two electorates that had previously been abolished to be recreated. This necessitated a major disruption to existing boundaries.
The electorate was based on the inner suburb of Te Aro, which is located in the southern end of the central business district. In the 1887 electoral redistribution, the Te Aro electorate lost much of its southern area to the newly formed electorate. In the 1890 electoral redistribution, the Te Aro electorate was abolished, and the area became part of the three-member electorate.
History
The Te Aro electorate was represented by three Members of Parliament:
Charles Johnston from 1881 to 1887 (resigned)
Francis Humphris Fraser in 1887 (defeated)
Andrew Agnew Stuart Menteath from 1887 to 1890 (retired)
Members of Parliament
Unless otherwise stated, all MPs terms began and ended at a general election.
