John Manley (archaeologist)
|
John Manley (born 1950) is a British archaeologist and author. His book AD 43, published by Tempus in 2002, is the first to give serious consideration to the archaeological evidence for the Roman invasion of Britain having taken place via alternative routes (as opposed to the traditional view of Richborough in Kent as the main landing-place).
Manley was educated at the universities of Manchester and Sussex, and has excavated throughout Europe, as well as in the Near East, Africa and the Caribbean. He was formerly County Archaeologist of Clwyd and Chief Executive of the Sussex Archaeological Society. He is currently an Hon. Research Fellow and a Trustee of the Sussex Archaeological Society.

Arthur Barrand
|
Arthur Rhys Barrand (28 October 1861 – 3 August 1941) was a British Liberal Party politician.
Background
Barrand was born the son of Isaac Andrew Barrand in Stoke Newington. He was educated at Birkbeck School, Kingsland and at Finsbury Technical College. In 1889 he married Emily Brydon Schofield of Manchester. They settled in Bycullah Road, Enfield. He retired to live in Dunbar Road, Bournemouth.
Professional career
Barrand worked as an actuary from 1895 until he was called to bar by the Middle Temple in 1906. He was the joint author of 'Bunyon's Law of Life Assurance' (5th edition). He was a financier and director of an insurance company and an Assistant Manager of the Prudential Assurance Company.
Political career
Barrand was selected as Liberal candidate for Pudsey in 1914 for an election that was deferred due to the outbreak of war. Standing as a Coalition Liberal at the 1918 general election, he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the Pudsey and Otley division of the West Riding of Yorkshire. As a holder of the Coalition Coupon, he did not face a Unionist opponent in 1918. At the 1919 Spen Valley by-election he visited the constituency to speak in support of the Liberal candidate and against the Coalition Liberal candidate. This action ultimately led to the Unionists decision to oppose him at a future election. After 4 years in the House of Commons he was defeated at the 1922 general election by the Unionist Frederick Fawkes. He not stand again.

Bhava samadhi
|
Bhava Samadhi is a state of ecstatic consciousness that can sometimes be a seemingly spontaneous experience, but is recognized generally to be the culmination of long periods of devotional practices. It is believed by some groups to be evoked through the presence of "higher beings." "Bhava" means "feeling", "emotion", "mood", "mental attitude" or "devotional state of mind." "Samadhi" is a state of consciousness in which the mind becomes completely still (one-pointed or concentrated) and the consciousness of the experiencing subject becomes one with the experienced object. Thus, "bhava samadhi" denotes an advanced spiritual state in which the emotions of the mind are channelled into one-pointed concentration and the practitioner experiences devotional ecstasy. Bhava samadhi has been experienced by notable figures in Indian spiritual history, including Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and some of his disciples, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his chief associate Nityananda, Mirabai, Kundalini Guru Shri Anandi Ma, and numerous saints in the bhakti tradition.
Meaning
thumb|Ramakrishna in samadhi at the house of Keshab Chandra Sen. He is seen supported by his nephew Hriday and surrounded by brahmo devotees.
Bhava samadhi, sometimes translated as 'trance', has no direct counterpart in the English language, though "ecstasy" is the closest translation. The various translations that have been proposed all refer to an ecstatic state of consciousness, which is attained by channelling the emotions into one-pointed concentration. For example, in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, the author, M., later identified as Mahendranath Gupta, recounts observing Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's introverted mood in which he became "unconscious of the outer world." M. later "learnt that this mood is called bhava, ecstasy."
"Bhava" denotes the mood of ecstasy and self-surrender which is induced by the maturing of devotion to one's 'Ishta deva' (object of devotion). "Bhava" literally means feeling, emotion, mood, or devotional state of mind. This refers to the aspirant's emotional life, which in the practice of jnana or raja yoga is controlled in order to transcend the spheres of the mind and intellect. In bhakti yoga, however, bhava is neither controlled nor suppressed, but is transformed into devotion and channelled to the Lord." Swami Sivananda states it is an "internal feeling" that needs to be developed through proper practice just like any other faculty of the mind e.g. memory or will power.
According to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa real bhava can only be said to occur when the relationship with the Divine is so established that it remains fixed in our consciousness at all times, "whether eating, drinking, sitting or sleeping."
Only when the bhava has fully ripened does the sadhaka (spiritual seeker) experience "bhava samadhi." Bhava samadhi occurs when the emotions are perfectly channelled into one-pointed concentration on the object of one's devotion. It has also been described as "Absorption in meditation due to emotional cause, e.g. kirtan [devotional music]" and "sheer ecstasy, a condition caused when the heart is seized by the Divine embrace."
Devotional practices that can evoke bhava, such as "bhajans" and kirtan (spiritual music), are standard practices in the bhakti tradition, and in the missions of many Indian saints including Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Shivabalayogi Maharaj. Shri Shivabalayogi often used the words "bhava" and "bhava samadhi" interchangeably. He explained bhava as follows:
"Everyone is in some sort of bhava of the guru because of their attachment to the guru. The mind's attachment and devotion is the true bhava."
“Bhava is the beginning for samadhi and tapas. Higher souls induce it. Bhava helps in physical, mental, and spiritual progress."
The qualities required for a genuine bhava samadhi have been emphasized by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa when he said that a spiritual experience of a lower plane may be had by "the momentary exuberance of emotions" but the scriptures say bhava samadhi is impossible to retain unless worldly desires have been removed and proper qualities have been established like renunciation and detachment.
Misuse and controversy
There have been many misuses and controversies associated with bhava samadhi. Firstly, bhava itself has been mistaken to be an advanced spiritual state, whereas the great exponent of bhava samadhi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, made it clear to his disciple, Swami Vivekananda, that bhava is a preliminary state of consciousness:
"Witnessing the religious ecstasy (bhava) of several devotees, Narendra (Swami Vivekananda) one day said to the Master that he too wanted to experience it. 'My child,' he was told, 'when a huge elephant enters a small pond, a great commotion is set up, but when it plunges into the Ganga, the river shows very little agitation. These devotees are like small ponds; a little experience makes their feelings flow over the brim. But you are a huge river.' "
Several other times Ramakrishna Paramahamsa made the same point like when he told one of his close devotees Gopalchandra Ghosh (later known as Swami Advaitananda, his most senior monastic disciple) that it was not so important to experience such a temporary ecstasy (bhava) and that on the spiritual path "true faith and renunciation are far greater."
That bhava is a preliminary experience has also been emphasized by Shivabalayogi Maharaj:
"During this all your bhava (the mind’s feelings) will get concentrated on your favorite deity and thus your mind becomes more concentrated, more single-pointed. Then meditation itself becomes much easier and consequently one would take up meditation more willingly. "It's like giving chocolate to a child to make it go to school. But one should not settle just for the chocolate - one must go on to school. In the same way, one must meditate."
Secondly, people have falsely claimed to have spontaneously attained spiritual powers and experiences through bhava, whereas bhava samadhi is the culmination of a long period of devotional practice. Bhava has even been used by people to falsely claim that they are "possessed by sacred deities" and to issue orders on behalf of these deities. If the bhava is genuine, however, the person will become non-violent and introverted, and will not claim or give instructions through bhava. Spiritual efforts should always enable the mind to recede and become quiet, going introverted toward the Self. Swami Vivekananda warned sadhaks (spiritual aspirants) to beware of claims made of bhava experiences:
He pointed out that Ramakrishna had been through long years of strictest self discipline and that his ecstasy was a fruit of that discipline, not a superficial emotionalism. "When people try to practice religion," said Naren "eighty percent of them turn into cheats, and about fifteen percent go mad. Its only the remaining five percent who get some direct knowledge of the Truth and so become blessed. So Beware."
Thirdly, genuine bhava samadhi, which is an internal state of consciousness, has been identified with outer movements of the body, such as dancing and singing. It has been claimed that "the very nature of bhava itself - sometimes having such vigorous outward expression in action and movement - had always meant that those who wished attention or status in a group would sometimes simply pretend to be in bhava to obtain some personal gain." However, it has been made clear by Ramakrishna that emotional displays do not constitute spiritual experience:
One evening Subodh (later to become Swami Subodhananda) observed the devotees dancing and singing Kirtan in the Masters room at Dakshineshwar. They were overwhelmed with devotion. Shri Ramakrishna himself joined them and his ecstasy surcharged the whole place with heavenly bliss. Some were crying, some laughing, some dancing. Others were transfixed like motionless statues, and some began to roll on the floor. Subodh was very skeptical about this kind of emotional display ... [He asked] "who had real ecstasy in the kirtan today?" The Master thought for a while and then said, "Today Latu (later to become Swami Adbhutananda) alone had the fullest measure of it; some others had sprinklings."
The depth of bhava experience varies across different individuals and depends on the spiritual maturity of their minds. Mature sadhaks usually do not display outward signs of bhava, which are indicative of the depth of their experiences. The problem of devotees attempting to make claims about their inner state of consciousness by imitating external indicators of genuine bhava samadhi was addressed by Swami Vivekananda in the Ramakrishna Mission:
It was discovered that several were actually trying to induce the outer physical symptoms of Samadhi and also imitate the movements of one who is dancing in ecstasy. Naren reasoned with these devotees and persuaded them to stop starving themselves and eat wholesome food, and to try control their emotions instead of cultivating hysteria. The result was an increase in spirituality and a decrease in outer show.
The actions of people in bhava samadhi, like dancing in ecstasy, can appear very strange to some. In Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj's mission various levels of bhava occurred to hundreds of people. Bhava was controversial throughout Shivabalayogi's public programs, and his own statements on the phenomenon appear inconsistent. Although some were acting or misusing the experience, when people complained to Sri Shivabalayogi, he was intolerant of most criticism or interference. "It is not drama. It really happens."
To place bhava samadhi into the correct spiritual context Ramakrishna Paramahansa said,
"If the depth of spiritual experiences is to be measured, it must be done from observing one's steadfastness, renunciation, strength of character, the attenuation of desires for enjoyment etc. It is by this touchstone alone, and no other means, that the amount of dross in ecstacy can be assessed."

Qubit fluorometer
|
The Qubit fluorometer is a laboratory instrument developed and distributed by Invitrogen, which is now a part of Thermo Fisher. It is used for the quantification of DNA, RNA, and protein.
Method
The Qubit fluorometer method is to use fluorescent dyes to determine the concentration of either nucleic acids or proteins in a sample. Specialized fluorescent dyes bind specifically to the substances of interest. A spectrophotometer is used in this method to measure the natural absorbance of light at 260 nm (for DNA and RNA) or 280 nm (for proteins).
Fluorescent dyes
The Qubit assays (formerly known as Quant-iT) were previously developed and manufactured by Molecular Probes (now part of Life Technologies). Each dye is specialized for one type of molecule (DNA, RNA, or protein). These dyes exhibit extremely low fluorescence until bound to their target molecule. Upon binding to DNA, the dye molecules assume a more rigid shape and increase in fluorescence by several orders of magnitude, most likely due to intercalation between the bases.
The Qubit fluorometer, a device designed to measure fluorescence signals from samples, operates by correlating these signals with known concentrations of probes. This process enables it to transform the fluorescence data into a quantified concentration measurement. The device uses this established relationship to accurately determine the concentration of a sample.
A specific instance of this technology is the Qubit 2.0 fluorometer, which is often used in conjunction with the "dsDNA BR Assay Kit." This kit, along with others in the Qubit quantification system, incorporates dyes. These dyes are sensitive to different biomolecules and their concentrations. In this context, "ds" denotes double-stranded and "ss" signifies single-stranded DNA, indicating the specific types of DNA that the dyes can detect.
Reagent/Assay Assay range Sample starting concentration range Qubit dsDNA HS Assay 0.2–100 ng 10 pg/μL–100 ng/μL Qubit dsDNA BR Assay 2–1,000 ng 100 pg/μL–1 μg/μL Qubit ssDNA Assay 1-200 ng 50 pg/μL-200 ng/μL Qubit RNA Assay 5–100 ng 250 pg/μL–100 ng/μL Qubit RNA BR Assay 20–1,000 ng 1 ng/μ-1 μg/μL Qubit Protein Assay* 0.25–5 μg 12.5 μg/mL–5 mg/mL
Versions
The second generation, the Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer, was released in 2010, and the 3rd generation as Qubit 3.0 in 2014. The newest version is the 4th generation Qubit 4, introduced in 2017.

Legon Observer
|
The Legon Observer, the journal of the Legon Society for National Affairs (LSNA), was established in July 1966 as a fortnightly publication. With a base in the political science faculty of the University of Ghana at Legon, it established itself as an important critical voice during the military rule of the National Liberation Council. In the 1969 elections it called for a "third force", between Komla Agbeli Gbedemah's National Alliance of Liberals and Kofi Abrefa Busia's Progress Party. Some supported the All People's Congress, led by John Bilson, who later ran for president as a Third Force Party candidate. From 1974 to 1978 the newspaper was effectively banned:
Editors included Yaw Twumasi and Kwame Arhin.

William Cecil Russell (25 April 1866 — 9 May 1928) was an Australian-born English first-class cricketer and barrister.
The son of Thomas Russell and his Australia wife, Louisa, he was born in Australia in April 1866 at Rokewood, Victoria. He was educated in England at Eton College, before matriculating to Trinity College, Cambridge. Russell gained membership of the Inner Temple in April 1893, being one of the 72 successful applicants from a field of 110 candidates.

Revocation (band)
|
Revocation is an American technical death metal band from Boston, Massachusetts, consisting of guitarist and vocalist Dave Davidson and drummer Ash Pearson. The band has released eight studio albums, two EPs, and ten music videos since their formation.HistoryBackground (Cryptic Warning) (2000–2005)In 2000, guitarist/vocalist Dave Davidson, drummer Phil Dubois-Coyne and bassist Anthony Buda, met while attending a high school in Boston, Massachusetts. Influenced by Guns N' Roses and Metallica, the trio formed Cryptic Warning. As Cryptic Warning, the band recorded its first demo in 2002 and gained an underground following in Boston, and surrounding area. A second demo, Internally Reviled, was recorded in 2004. In 2005, Cryptic Warning recorded and released an independent album, ''Sanity's Aberration'', but was not content with the quality of the album's production. Remembering those recordings, Davidson said: "We didn't record the album with a metal guy, so we didn't get the sound we wanted. The heaviest reference in our producer's discography was The Cult. A lot of people still love that record—our old-school fans who used to show up for all of the shows—but to us, we weren't really satisfied with the production of that. We felt it was one of the mistakes we made."
First four albums (2006–2013)
In 2006, Cryptic Warning disbanded and Revocation formed with the lineup intact. Davidson commented: "I think, looking a little deeper into it, we made a lot of mistakes with Cryptic Warning. We were younger and didn't really know what we were doing, so Revocation was us starting fresh with a clean slate and revoking our past mistakes." With a direction change, Revocation promptly recorded a three-song demo titled Summon the Spawn, and in 2008 they went back into the studio to record their first full-length album, Empire of the Obscene. The full length was self-released, and the band financed its own tour, attracting the interest of several record labels. Revocation subsequently signed to Relapse Records. while Spin magazine named Revocation as one of the ten artists to watch in 2010. In October 2009, the band performed for the Relapse showcase at CMJ Music Marathon. On August 16, 2011, the band released their third full-length album, Chaos of Forms. Their fourth full-length studio release, self-titled Revocation, was released on August 5, 2013.Deathless and Great Is Our Sin (2014–2016)In early April 2014, it was announced that Revocation had signed with Metal Blade Records and that the recording of a new album had begun. The band's fifth full-length, Deathless, was released on October 14, 2014. Revocation embarked on a fall tour in the U.S. with Crowbar, Havok, Fit For An Autopsy, and Armed for Apocalypse. Following the fall tour, they trekked across Europe with Cannibal Corpse and Aeon.
In June 2015, drummer Phil Dubois-Coyne announced that he was leaving the band. He was replaced by Ash Pearson, the former drummer of 3 Inches of Blood.
In September 2015, the band announced that Empire of the Obscene was to be re-issued on November 13, 2015 via Metal Blade Records. Remixed and remastered, the album included bonus tracks from their 2006 EP, Summon the Spawn.
In May 2016, the band announced their sixth studio album, Great Is Our Sin. The album was released on July 22, 2016 via Metal Blade Records. The Outer Ones and Netherheaven (2017–present) On November 13, 2017, Davidson revealed that writing had begun on the band's next album in an interview with Metal Injection and that the album is planned to be released in 2018. On February 5, 2018, the band hinted that recording had begun via posts on the band's various social media outlets. On April 5, 2018, the band announced that tracking for the new album was completed at Planet Z Studios. On May 15, 2018, the band teased 20 seconds of a new song and what appears to be a release date of September 28, 2018.
On June 5, 2018, the band revealed the title of their seventh album, The Outer Ones, released on September 28, 2018 via Metal Blade. The band has also announced their second-ever North American headline tour in September and October 2018, with Exhumed, Rivers of Nihil and Yautja as support acts.
On July 10, 2018, the band revealed the track listing and cover artwork of The Outer Ones, along with a music video for "Of Unworldly Origin", the first single of the album.
On June 20, 2020, rhythm guitarist Dan Gargiulo left the band, citing a desire to "focus on other musical and life endeavors". It was also announced that the band was currently working on their eighth album as a trio.
On June 16, 2022, Revocation announced that their new album would be titled Netherheaven. On July 6, it was revealed the album would be released on September 9, and the album's first single, "Diabolical Majesty," was also released.
Revocation were performing at the Apollo Theatre (Belvidere, Illinois) with Morbid Angel and Crypta during the tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023. An EF1 tornado struck the venue, which caused a roof collapse that killed at least one person and injured dozens others, though the bands were unharmed.
Musical style and influences
The music of Revocation has been described by journalists as a fusion of technical death metal and thrash metal, as well as progressive death metal. The characteristics that define Revocation's sound include a "complex guitar-bass interplay" of dissonant riffs, bass breaks and "shredding" guitar solos united by "galloping" double bass drums, death metal tempos, hard rock breakdowns and grooves.
Music critics have pointed out that Davidson's guitar playing style is the prominent aspect of Revocation's sound. Davidson developed his playing technique by attending the Berklee College of Music, where he studied jazz guitar performance.
Recalling his earliest influences, Davidson cites Slash, Dimebag Darrell, and Marty Friedman. Davidson says that as a band, Revocation has a wide range of influences, and among these are groups such as Children of Bodom, Exhorder, Dark Angel, Slayer, Megadeth, Pestilence, Atheist, Gorguts, Forbidden, Spastic Ink, Martyr, and Exodus.
Regarding the band's rhythm section, critics have different opinions; while About.com stated that Buda and Dubois-Coyne "practice their own brutal brand of stop-on-a-dime precision with merciless intensity", Decibel magazine wrote that when Davidson is soloing, "the rest of band often fails to compensate."

History
St Columba's High was a six-year Catholic comprehensive school serving the northern part of Clydebank, the village of Duntocher, Faifley, Hardgate and the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Other pupils come in substantial numbers from Old Kilpatrick, Knightswood and Scotstoun. Five primary schools provided the great majority of the first year intake: St Mary's, St Joseph's, St Eunan's, St Stephen's and St Clare's, although a variety of others added to this number.

The short begins at a party at a stork club from which a drunken stork leaves to deliver a baby. Elsewhere, Sylvester shrugs off his wife's desire of wanting a baby, even mocking her brief depression over his objection ("And what thanks do I get? I wish I was dead! Boo hoo hoo! Every day it's the same thing - pitter-patter of little feet!"). Meanwhile, the drunken stork arrives in their neighborhood and, exhausted and unable to continue to his intended destination, drops the bundle off at the nearest house- theirs. Sylvester's wife, despite being surprised at the stork's public drunkenness, graciously receives the package.
Sylvester, despite his earlier objection, is nonetheless excited at the prospect of being a father- until he learns the baby is a mouseling, at which point he tries to eat it. His wife, who immediately becomes endeared to the mouse after the baby calls her "Mama," quickly stops Sylvester twice (telling him that "mouse or no mouse, he's your son!") Later, when she goes out (and is not seen again afterwards), he tries again, but stops after the mouse calls him "Daddy", which causes Sylvester's heart to melt.
Sylvester's attitude toward the mouse changes entirely from this point on, becoming a doting father and deciding to take his false son for a walk in a baby carriage. Unfortunately, the neighborhood cats are not as enamored of the mouse, forcing Sylvester to run back into the house. Several cats try to steal the mouse, only to be foiled each time by Sylvester, who for once is on the winning end of the same traps and tactics by which he usually ends up getting foiled. These include climbing through a window, posing as a rapidly talking vacuum cleaner salesman ("Good day, sir! I represent the Little Giant Vacuum Cleaner Company of Walla Walla, Washington and if you watch closely, you'll notice the powerful action of this machine as it removes completely and forever all foreign particles from around the room! I realize that you may not be ready to purchase the Little Giant right now but if you ever do, just remember the Little Giant Vacuum Cleaner Company of Walla Walla, Washington!"), a teenage babysitter disguise (Sylvester simply slams the door on the cat), cutting a hole in the floor beneath the mouse's cradle (Sylvester substitutes the mouse with a stick of dynamite), a Santa disguise (Sylvester sees the calendar says July and blows the cat over the horizon with another dynamite stick) and simply using a tree trunk to try and break the door down (Sylvester opens it just before impact causing the cats to run up the stairs and fall out of a back window into a well).
The drunken stork, meanwhile, returns under direct orders to retrieve the mouse and deliver him to his actual parents by fishing him out with a piece of cheese ("What a fuss they made at the office [hic!]. Now I gotta get the mouse to his real parents [hic!]."). Sylvester, believing it to be another cat, quickly stops the mouse and is pulled up instead, with the stork thinking he is the mouse ("Boy [hic!], did that mouse grow!"). A later scene reveals a married mice couple walking a disgruntled Sylvester (dressed as a baby) with the wife telling her husband, "Well, nothing like this ever happened on my side of the family," before he looks at the audience in bewilderment as the cartoon irises out.

Avraham "Avi" Primor (}}, born 8 April 1935 in Tel Aviv) is an Israeli publicist and former diplomat. From 1987 to 1993, he served as Ambassador to the European Union, and from 1993 to 1999 as Ambassador to Germany. After leaving the diplomatic service, he was vice-president of the University of Tel Aviv until 2004. While Ambassador to Germany, Primor rose to national prominence as one of the most important promoters of the German-Israeli dialogue. He has been awarded the Mérite européen award for his contribution to European unification, as well as the Grand Cross with Star and Sash of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Since 2010, Avi Primor has served president of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations, an independent, non-partisan think tank for the study and debate of foreign policy questions, especially those relating to the Israel and the Jewish people.
Primor has published a number of articles on Israel, the Middle East, Iran and Israeli-German relations in newspapers and magazines, including Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany), and he is also regularly interviewed as an expert on these issues on radio and television, notably in Germany.
Views on Israeli-Palestinian peace process
At an international workshop on global security held in Rome in 2010, Avi Primor said regarding the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians:
::"We do not implement a peace plan because the majority of Israelis believe that the one and only issue that truly interests them, which is the issue of security, has not been resolved in any of the peace propositions that have been published. When we negotiated with Egypt and with Jordan, we knew that those partners, if willing, were capable of guaranteeing us security. We do not think that our Palestinian partner, although he is willing, is capable of guaranteeing us security. We fear that if we leave the West Bank under the present conditions, even within the framework of a peace agreement, that the situation in the West Bank will develop as it did in the evacuated Gaza Strip. If we do not find a solution that convinces Israelis that leaving the West Bank will guarantee their security, then there will be no public opinion to support or put pressure on the Israeli government to accept a peace agreement. I think that the solution only can come from the international community."

Charles Gray Round (28 January 1797 – 1 December 1867) was a barrister and the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for North Essex 1837–47. He also served as Recorder for Colchester, and as a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Essex, as well as being a substantial local landowner and notable.
Round was educated at Winchester then Felsted (1810–1814), and graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with first-class honours in classics in 1818 (BA) and 1821 (MA); he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1822.
Round inherited from his father (also Charles) a great deal of land in Colchester, including Birch Hall, which he rebuilt 1843–8 as "a handsome mansion in the plain Ionic order". In the same way, he took possession of Colchester Castle and the accompanying Castle Park, originally under the ownership of Charles Gray. Round resigned his position as Recorder of Colchester in 1863. In 1838 he married his wife Emma Sarah (1819–1892); together they "promoted religion and education in the parish [of Birch], were diligent in charitable works, and provided some housing for estate workers."

Superior knowledge doctrine
|
The superior knowledge doctrine is a principle in United States contract law which states that the government must disclose to a contractor any otherwise unavailable information that is vital to contract performance. It is also referred to as "the Helene Curtis doctrine of superior knowledge.
In order to recover under the superior knowledge doctrine, a contractor must prove each of the following elements:
The contractor undertook to perform the contract without vital knowledge of a fact directly affecting performance, cost, or duration of the contract.
The government was aware that the contractor had no knowledge of the information, and that the contractor had no reason to attempt to obtain this information.
A contract specification that the government supplied to the contractor misled the contractor, or failed to put the contractor on notice to inquire more.
The government failed to provide the relevant information.
History
The case most often cited as initiating the superior knowledge doctrine is Helene Curtis Industries, Inc. v. United States. Helene Curtis Industries received an army contract for large quantities of a disinfectant chlorine powder that had never been mass-produced. The powder was to be used by U.S. troops in Korea to disinfect mess gear and fresh fruits and vegetables. The Army prepared directions for production of the new disinfectant powder. Based on the specifications, the contractor concluded that only a simple mixing technique was needed and submitted its bid.
The Army already knew that a costly grinding operation would be required to produce the disinfectant powder. The Army also knew the contractor planned to simply mix the ingredients together, without performing any grinding. After the contract was awarded, the disinfectant failed to meet the specified solubility test. The company then investigated and discovered that the powder needed to be ground. The contractor sued for the costs of finding that it needed to grind the powder, because the Army should have shared this superior knowledge.
The Government has a duty to disclose its superior knowledge about the procurement history of the item and the fact that it had never been mass-produced without a waiver of certain specifications. The government's duty to disclose is heightened if the contractor is a small business.
The superior knowledge doctrine was potentially applicable to even classified information regarding prior secret technology. Although disclosure of the details of the classified information may not be necessary or possible, the Government may have a duty to give a warning or make some other more general disclosure.

Hibiscus radiatus
|
Hibiscus radiatus (commonly known as monarch rosemallow) is native to southern and southeast Asia. It has mauve flowers that have a purple center and yellow anthers. Leaves are dentate, with upper leaves lobed into three, five, or seven parts. Leaves are mistaken as marijuana, but radiatus' stems have small thorns. It is frequently grown as a vegetable or medicinal herb.

Cellular decomposition
|
In geometric topology, a cellular decomposition G of a manifold M is a decomposition of M as the disjoint union of cells (spaces homeomorphic to n-balls Bn).
The quotient space M/G has points that correspond to the cells of the decomposition. There is a natural map from M to M/G, which is given the quotient topology. A fundamental question is whether M is homeomorphic to M/G. Bing's dogbone space is an example with M (equal to R3) not homeomorphic to M/G.
Definition
Cellular decomposition of X is an open cover \mathcal{E} with a function \text{deg}:\mathcal{E}\to \mathbb{Z} for which:
Cells are disjoint: for any distinct e,e'\in\mathcal{E}, e\cap e' = \varnothing.
No set gets mapped to a negative number: \text{deg}^{-1}(\{j\in\mathbb Z\mid j\leq -1\}) = \varnothing.
Cells look like balls: For any n\in\mathbb N_0 and for any e\in \deg^{-1}(n) there exists a continuous map \phi:B^n\to X that is an isomorphism \text{int}B^n\cong e and also \phi(\partial B^n) \subseteq \cup \text{deg}^{-1}(n-1).
A cell complex is a pair (X,\mathcal E) where X is a topological space and \mathcal E is a cellular decomposition of X.

100 Cupboards
|
100 Cupboards is a 2007 fantasy children's book by N. D. Wilson. The first book in the 100 Cupboards Trilogy, it is followed by Dandelion Fire and The Chestnut King.
Plot
Henry York moves to Henry, Kansas to live with his Uncle Frank, Aunt Dotty, and cousins Penelope, Henrietta, and Anastasia after his parents are abducted while bike trekking in South America. On his first night there, Henry sneaks out of his attic bedroom to go to the bathroom. Instead, he discovers that the door is closed and the light is on. He waits and sees a short man emerge from the bathroom and enter Grandfather's bedroom, a room that has been locked since Grandfather died two years previously.
Another night, the plaster from Henry's attic wall starts coming off, revealing two master lock dials to a hundred little locked cupboards. When they are home alone, Henry and Henrietta discover a key in one of the cupboards they have managed to open, which unlocks the door to Grandfather's bedroom. There they find a journal that has a map of the cupboards.
One morning Henrietta mysteriously disappears, and Henry discovers a journal entry that tells him how the cupboards work. He crawls through a cupboard in Grandfather's room to find Grandfather. After several strange adventures, he finds him in the ballroom of a palace in a ruined city, but they are unable to return until the master locks of the cupboards are set back to their location, and they hide in a dark cupboard. They witness a group of people with wolves called "witch-dogs" kill almost all of the guests at a ball, but they escape. Meanwhile, Uncle Frank attempts to find the two of them while Aunt Dotty tells Penelope and Anastasia that Frank came through the cupboards long ago, and it was their great-grandfather who invented the cupboards and made them work. But Frank is too late when a Witch and her cat emerge from the Endor (8th cupboard) cupboard and stab Frank. The witch is Nimiane, and she has been strengthened by Henry's blood. Aunt Dotty, Penelope, and Anastasia run up to see what's going on, and Aunt Dotty falls into a similar state as Frank. Henry and Henrietta emerge from the cupboard and struggle with the witch, but it is Zeke, a boy who was just dropping by to see if Henry was ready to play baseball, who knocks her out with a swing of his baseball bat. The children push her through the cupboard into an unnamed place, and Dotty and Frank are rushed to the hospital where they are healed.
Henrietta discovers a creature that looks like a small flying rhino in one of the cupboards. This creature called a radiant, was the one banging against his cupboard, causing it to break through the plaster at the beginning of the book. Uncle Frank tells Henry that he came from one of the cupboards as a child, and the has been sent by someone to find him. Meanwhile, Nimiane has recovered and is plotting in one of the places beyond the cupboards. The book ends when Henry receives another lovely letter from the post office box.
Main characters
Henry York - The 12-year-old protagonist of the story, Henry lived with his adopted parents, Phil and Ursula, that were kidnapped a short while before the beginning of the book. Then when he has to move in with his aunt and uncle, Henry finds out that he originated from a world beyond the cupboards.
Frank Willis - Frank Willis was born Francis. He went questing through a portal and into Kansas as a teenager, where he married Dorothy ("Dotty") and had three daughters, Penelope, Henrietta, and Anastasia.
Henrietta Willis - The middle daughter of Frank and Dorothy, Henrietta is portrayed as stubborn and too curious for her good, with dark curly hair and green eyes.
Penelope Willis - The oldest Willis daughter is sometimes called "Penny," mostly by Anastasia. She has nearly black hair and often acts as if she is too old for make-believe.
Anastasia Willis - The youngest Willis daughter, Anastasia is small and wiry for a nine-year-old, freckly with brown hair that "looked like it wanted to be red." She is sometimes rude and pries into everyone's business.
Dorothy Willis - Called "Dots" by her husband, and "Dotty" by others, she is the sister of Ursula, Henry's adopted mother.
Film
Beloved Pictures acquired the rights to a film adaption of the novel in the summer of 2010.

Tribalism is the second compilation album by British rock band Enter Shikari, released on 22 February 2010. The album contains two brand new tracks, b-sides, remixes and live tracks. A limited edition version of the album was released in a boxset package also containing a sticker, poster and badges. Only 1,000 of this edition were made.
History
The album's name and track listing was revealed on 19 January 2010. Songs on the compilation were recorded between 2007 and 2009.
A music video for the song "Thumper" was released on 26 January 2010. The video for "Thumper" shows the band in black-and-white and ending up looking cartoon-esque, not unlike A-Ha's "Take On Me", although the band members' faces are distorted, with wide mouths, pointed noses and sunken eyes. This type of animation is called rotoscoping. The video was directed and animated by Joseph Pierce.
"All Eyes On the Saint" was previously released as bonus track for the Japanese and American iTunes version of Common Dreads. The song itself is about the execution of Saint Alban.

Nokia Suite (formerly Nokia Ovi Suite) is an application for Nokia users to connect their devices with Microsoft Windows. The service was originally developed by Nokia but was subsequently taken over by Microsoft Mobile.
Overview
Nokia Suite can synchronize contacts, calendar, messages, photos, videos and music between a Nokia device and a PC. Additionally, Nokia Suite can download country maps to Nokia devices, backup or restore the contents of devices, connect the PC to the Internet via mobile device (tethering) and update the device software.
Nokia Suite cannot be used with a Lumia or newer Nokia Asha phones.
This application is officially not available to download.
Nokia Suite is a replacement for Nokia PC Suite and was integrated with the Ovi brand of services. It was originally known as Nokia Ovi Suite but the name changed to Nokia Suite with the release of version 3.2.64 Beta in October 2011.
Nokia Suite does not have a lot of the features provided in Nokia PC Suite, such as organizing contacts by phone number or exporting into CSV format. It can, however, export contacts (including their groups) into Vcard format.
Nokia Suite can perform a complete backup of the phone contents to a single file with .nbu filename extension. The only official way to gain access to the contents of the backup is to restore it to the phone using Nokia Suite. However, there are third-party programs that can read these files with some success such as the shareware Noki.

Malaprade reaction
|
In organic chemistry, the Malaprade reaction or Malaprade oxidation is a glycol cleavage reaction in which a vicinal diol is oxidized by periodic acid or a periodate salt to give the corresponding carbonyl functional groups. The reaction was first reported by Léon Malaprade in 1928. Amino alcohols are also cleaved.
File:Malaprade.svg
In terms of mechanism, the reaction is thought to proceed by a cyclic diester of iodine(VII).

Puya dasylirioides
|
Puya dasylirioides is a species in the genus Puya. This species is native to Costa Rica. It is unusual for a Puya, as the leaves have no spines along the leaf margins. The flowers are blue with brown buds and the plants reach maturity at 4 to 5 years. Another feature that sets this species is that it grows in boggy areas at 3000 m that dry up seasonally.
Cultivation
Puya dasylirioides occurs from 2300 to 3300 meter of elevation, where the climate is cool all year. It can tolerate temperatures of 30 °C, but it's possible that it won't thrive in consistently warmer conditions, especially if nights are warm. It is said to have tolerated winter lows of 19 °F (-7 °C), and might even handle colder temperatures. It grows well in a deep pot in normal cactus soil that contains no lime. Some protection from strong afternoon sun might be needed in warmer climates.

Brit Awards 2010
|
Brit Awards 2010 was the 30th edition of the British Phonographic Industry's annual Brit Awards. The awards ceremony was held at Earls Court in London for the last time. The ceremony was broadcast live on ITV on Tuesday 16 February 2010. It was hosted by Peter Kay with Fearne Cotton doing the side of stage coverage. ITV2 broadcast an after show highlights programme immediately after the main broadcast. BBC Radio 1 had official radio coverage throughout the day in the run up to the evening's show, with Scott Mills and Greg James on the Red Carpet.
The ceremony was broadcast live, but with a short delay to enable any offensive language to be cut. This occurred several times during the course of the evening, most notably when Liam Gallagher collected the Best Album of 30 Years award and also during Lily Allen's acceptance speech for Best British Female.
The ITV show drew 5.8 million viewers between 8pm and 10pm, which was a 21.9% share of the evening, topping the 5.18 million (21.7%) drawn in for the 2009 ceremony, but still down on the 6.07 million (24.4%) of 2008. The ITV2 Brits Encore show at 10pm drew 776,000 viewers, a 3.8% share.

Moments
Liam Gallagher and Peter Kay
At the 2010 Brits, Liam Gallagher made a surprise appearance to accept his award for Best Brits album of the past 30 years. After thanking all of his former bandmates (apart from brother Noel) and declaring his fans "the best fans in the fucking world", he gave his award to a lucky fan and hurled his microphone into the audience; a search for the microphone caused a 10‑minute delay. After walking off stage, host Peter Kay reacted to Liam's actions by saying "what a knobhead".

Fowl Weather is a 1953 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on April 4, 1953, and stars Tweety and Sylvester.Plot
Granny leaves Hector in charge of looking after Tweety while she is away. If he fails to protect Tweety, she will shoot Hector. Sylvester tries to eat Tweety, first by disguising himself as a scarecrow (complete with ragged clothes and tall stilts), then Hector starts barking and an annoyed Sylvester hits him with his wooden leg and yells his only spoken line in the cartoon, "Aaaaah, Shaddap!" Furious, Hector gets back up and bites the wooden leg and chases Sylvester away.
Now out of his cage, Tweety decides to look around. He decides to greet the farm animals. "Hello, moo-moo cow!", even unintentionally insulting the pig with "Hi there, dirty piggy!" After detecting a goat to really be Sylvester in a realistic rubber mask ("Hello, puddy tat!"), Tweety takes cover in a chicken coop.
Sylvester tries several times to get into the coop using a toy soldier, dressing himself poorly as a hen, etc., only to be stopped by the rooster, who beats him soundly. While mimicking one of the baby chicks, Tweety comes across a worm and tells the "piece of spaghetti with eyes" to hide from the other chickens. A last attempt involves Sylvester, still in hen "costume", and the rooster, waiting while Sylvester "lays eggs". The rooster decides to use a grenade to make him "hatch" one. At this point, Hector realizes Tweety's absence, and demands to know his whereabouts. Short on time, and fearing Granny will kill him, he paints Sylvester yellow, stuffs the cat in Tweety's birdcage and has him act like Tweety.
Granny returns, and the ruse works. Tweety meanwhile also returns and notices the change of circumstances. "Ho ho! If he's a birdie, den dat makes me a putty tat!" Tweety claims and starts acting like a cat, much to Hector's shock.

John Bilson (politician)
|
John Bilson was a Ghanaian doctor and politician.
Career
In May 1969, he founded the All People's Congress, which despite some support from the Legon Observer failed to make any impact in the 1969 parliamentary election. He contested the 1979 presidential elections as leader of the Third Force Party: in the first round of voting on 18 June 1979 he came sixth out of ten candidates, with 2.8% of the vote. In 1981, the Third Force Party was one of the opposition parties which tried to merge into the All People's Party, although political parties were soon banned after Jerry Rawlings's coup at the end of the year.
In 1992, Bilson launched a lawsuit challenging the eligibility of Rawlings to stand for the presidency, on the grounds that he was not a Ghanaian national.

}}
Jennifer Jane Lyon (February 27, 1972 – January 19, 2010) was an American actress and television personality best known for her appearance on Survivor: Palau.
Early life
Jennifer Lyon was born in Nevada, but grew up in Washington and The Dalles, Oregon. She enjoyed hiking, playing soccer, and photography. At the age of 18, Jennifer learned Spanish when she participated in the foreign exchange program around 1990. After graduating from high school, Jennifer spent a year in Spain and two years in London working as a nanny. When Jennifer returned to the U.S., she attended Portland State University and spent a year there until she later attended Western Oregon State College before she was sent to Oregon State University. She later received a Bachelor of Science Degree in nutrition and food management.Survivor
In 2004, Lyon was selected for Survivor: Palau, the tenth overall season of Survivor. The season aired in Spring 2005. The game started with all 20 players on the same beach. During the tribe division, she was chosen by Gregg Carey to be on the Koror tribe. She in turn picked Coby Archa to join the tribe. Koror ended up being the dominant tribe, winning every tribal immunity challenge. During this time she developed a showmance with Carey. She also developed a rivalry with Ulong member Stephenie LaGrossa, who was constantly beating her in challenges. Eventually, LaGrossa, the last remaining Ulong, was absorbed into Koror, but Lyon outlasted her when LaGrossa was voted out in seventh place. At the Final Four, when Lyon was expected to be voted out, she convinced Tom Westman to vote for Ian Rosenberger for thinking about betraying their alliance, while Rosenberger and Katie Gallagher, the only other players left, voted for Lyon. A re-vote was unsuccessful in breaking the tie, so Lyon was put in the first ever Final Four fire making tie-breaker challenge against Rosenberger. She lost the challenge, which caused her to be the 17th person eliminated from Survivor: Palau, putting her on the jury, ultimately placing fourth in the competition. At the Final Tribal Council, she gave her vote to Westman to win the game.
At the reunion show, it was revealed that her relationship with Carey only lasted on the island, although they remained friends afterwards.
Death
In 2005, while living in Encino, California, Lyon was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, and subsequently began blogging about her disease and treatment. Lyon got involved with the Me and My Two Friends Foundation, which focuses on the early detection and prevention of breast cancer through education and awareness. It was founded by Alisa Unger, who designed jewelry and planned to donate a portion of the proceeds to fund breast cancer education projects. In 2006, Lyon was the grand marshal for the 11th annual Walk for the Cause, a breast cancer fundraiser in Albany, Oregon. In December 2009, Lyon opened a Christmas tree lot with her boyfriend, Dion, mother and father, Larry and Jane Lyon, and her two nephews, Tyler Lyon and Mikel Lyon, and donated all the profits to the Susan Love Cancer Research Foundation. In January she moved to a spot on the Hood River in Oregon.
On January 19, 2010, Lyon died from cancer, which had come back from remission and had metastasized to the bone. She became the first former Survivor contestant to die. The special Surviving Survivor, which aired Thursday, February 4, 2010, just over two weeks after her death, was dedicated to her memory. The reunion episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains showed a video montage of moments from Lyon's appearance on Survivor: Palau.Filmography{| class"wikitable"

Marguerita Time
|
}}
}}
"Marguerita Time" is a 1983 song by the British rock band Status Quo. It was the third track to be released as a single from their 1983 album Back to Back. The single was also issued as a limited edition picture disc, and in a Christmas double pack that included "Caroline"/"Joanne". The single became one of the band's biggest hits, peaking at no. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and was later certified Silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 250,000 copies.
Bassist Alan Lancaster recalled "Nobody but Francis [Rossi] wanted to record it. All it did was advertise that we were a bunch of nerds". Lancaster refused to appear in the band's video for the song. When the band mimed the song on BBC's Top of the Pops, on one occasion Lancaster's place was taken by Slade's Jim Lea.
The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's 31st studio album Aquostic – Stripped Bare. It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance for the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.
Dexys Midnight Runners covered the song on the B-side of their single "This Is What She's Like". This recording was included on some reissues of that band's Too-Rye-Ay album.

Puya mirabilis
|
Puya mirabilis is a species of Bromeliad in the genus Puya. This species is native to Bolivia.
Description
Puya mirabilis grows as an evergreen, perennial herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 1 to 1.5 meters with its inflorescence. It lives terrestrially and is somewhat xerophytic. Many leaves stand together in a leaf rosette without a trunk being formed. After the seed and child development, the mother plant slowly dies.
The tough, parallel-veined leaves are divided into leaf sheath and leaf blade. The white to brownish, relatively thick, durable leaf sheath is 3 to 4 centimeters wide and egg-shaped with a length and width of 3 to 4 centimeters with a finely toothed edge. The leaf sheaths are preserved for a long time and form a bulbous protective covering on the plant base. The simple, early balding leaf blade is 60 to 70 centimeters long and 1 to 1.5 centimeters wide at the base of the blade and is narrow-linear with a long, pointed upper end. The leaf margin is coarse, prickly serrated. The underside and the upper side of the leaf are only covered with gray when pressed on the lower half.
For Puya species, an inflorescence is formed after relatively few years. The upright, strong inflorescence stem has a length of 90 centimeters and a round cross-section with a diameter of about 1 centimeter. The initially green, but early drying bracts on the inflorescence stem are similar to the foliage leaves and prickly on the edge, the lower ones being long and turned back and the upper ones being upright and short, but longer than the intervening axis sections. The upright, simple, so unbranched, loose, racemose inflorescence has a length of 30 to 50 centimeters and a diameter of 16 centimeters and some flowers. The early drying, almost upright to spreading bracts are triangular, broadly ovate-elliptical with a pointed upper end, long pointed with a prickly edge and with a length of 3 to 4 centimeters shorter than the sepals, but longer than the flower stalks. The 1.2 to 1.5 centimeter long peduncle is initially almost upright and curves downwards after pollination.
The hermaphrodite flower is threefold with a double flower envelope. The three green, gray-scaled, relatively thick, leathery sepals are somewhat asymmetrical, about 5 to almost 6 centimeters long and about 1 centimeter wide and almost triangular with an indistinctly pointed upper end. The three greenish-yellow, bare petals are about 10 centimeters long and about 2 centimeters wide and twist in a spiral as they fade. The six free stamens have about 15 millimeters long, yellow anthers and are slightly shorter than the petals. Three carpels have grown together to form a semi-protruding ovary.
The capsule fruits contain many seeds. The small seeds are capable of flying

The song was re-recorded and extended for this release. The picture sleeve featured a cartoon drawing of the band by Rob Fletcher, an artist who has also worked extensively with Bob Young. "Too Close To The Ground" had also been a planned single, as adverts in the press announced that it was to be the band's new single.

Madden NFL 11 is an American football video game based on the National Football League, published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It is the 22nd annual installment in the bestselling Madden NFL video game franchise. It was released in 2010 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable, BlackBerry, and iOS platforms. The PS3 and Xbox 360 demos were released July 27, 2010.
Features
The 2010 installment of the Madden NFL series headlined new features such as a play-calling system titled "GameFlow", a new game mode titled "Online Team Play", and an assortment of other features. The game was advertised as being "Simpler, Quicker, and Deeper" than previous versions of the game. The superstar mode for the Wii version was removed from this Madden installment.
"GameFlow" enables the player to create a situational game plan based on down and situation, and is advertised to speed up playing time as much as one half of the total game time from previous years of "Madden". Another addition is "Online Team Play", which supports 3 vs. 3 cooperative play. Players can also scout opponents in online head-to-head games to gain a competitive advantage. Other changes from previous installments include a new kick meter, new audible system, and an improved locomotion animation system. Lighting improvements, run blocking changes, new quarterback ratings, and a new Old Spice "Swagger" rating have also been added to the game. Gus Johnson does the play-by-play broadcast commentary, replacing Tom Hammond. One reviewer noted, Johnson's "penchant for the dramatic in real life keeps you on the edge of your seat as you turn the corner for a RB sprint or heave a desperation Hail Mary." Cris Collinsworth returns as color commentator from previous editions.
"Madden Ultimate Team" is a downloadable game mode released on January 7, 2011. In this mode, users are able to build a team by purchasing player packs. These packs are purchased with coins that are earned by winning a game, scoring a touchdown etc. They can also be purchased with real money through the user's PlayStation Network or Xbox Live accounts. As the user gains more coins, they are able to buy better packs of players, eventually building their "Ultimate Team".
Cover
For the first time in the series, the fans were given the opportunity to vote for who would appear on the cover of Madden NFL 11. The choices were Alex Smith, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers; Drew Brees, quarterback of the New Orleans Saints; Jared Allen, defensive end of the Minnesota Vikings; and Reggie Wayne, wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts. Drew Brees pulled in the most votes and became the cover athlete.
Demo
A demo of the game, featuring a game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets, was released on July 27, 2010.
Marketing
In August 2010, Time Warner announced that it would offer a copy of Madden NFL 11 and a Making of Madden NFL DVD free with a paid subscription to Sports Illustrated. A similar offer was made available in 2009 with the release of Madden NFL 10.Reception

The game was met with positive reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 85.71% and 84 out of 100 for the Xbox 360 version; The same website, however, gave the iPhone version four stars out of five and said, "Everything from the 22 on-screen players to the stadium they're duking it out in looks great, and for the first time ever I felt like I wasn't playing a compromised or downgraded football experience despite the limitations of the iPhone platform."
The Escapist gave the Xbox 360 version all five stars and said, "I went into this game as a skeptic. Madden NFL 11 made me a believer." However, The Daily Telegraph gave the same version a score of eight out of ten and said, "What I've taken away from my time with NFL 11 is a new appreciation for the sport itself. It's genuinely exhilarating stuff."See also

Copy & Pastry
|
}}
Copy & Pastry is an comedic web series produced by Two Trick Pony Productions. Copy & Pastry follows two roommates who decide to start an online pastry delivery service out of their home kitchen in Berkeley, CA. The first season, consisting of 7 episodes, debuted in November 2009.
Background
Copy & Pastry was created by Tory Stanton and Scott McCabe, who also wrote and produced each of the 7 episodes. The comedy web series follows fictional roommates Tory and Scott whose 'ambitions outpace their resources' in their quixotic attempt to build an online pastry delivery service out of their home apartment. In order to succeed the pair must negotiate the bureaucracy of municipal government; limited funding; nosebleeds; fickle customers; a brush with the biggest star on public-access television cable TV; broken hearts; and a proposed corporate takeover. The self-financed series was directed JK Pincosy and shot by Justin Potter. Luca Young composed the original score and Alex Bello mixed the episodes.
Copy & Pastry was also picked up by the web television network [Koldcast.tv] with the first episode premiering on the network March 3.
Reception
According to the Eastbay Express, which reviewed the series in its January 6 edition, 'The whole thing would make for a perfect TV show.' PopCultureMonster.com said the show was "fresh (pun intended)... and [...] filled with both jokes and a lovely bit of slap-stick." and that the actors were "very funny, awkward and awfully adorkable"
It was reviewed positively by Ned Hepburn's web series column Pass the Mustard.
"[McCabe & Stanton] have cobbled together an impressive series out of a few thousand, good writing and a few twenty-something comedians..." writes Doniphan Blair in Cinesource Magazine.Cast{| class"wikitable"

Edward Otho Cresap Ord II (November 9, 1858 – April 4, 1923) was a United States Army Major who served with the 22nd Infantry Regiment during the Indian Wars, the Spanish–American War and the Philippine–American War. He helped direct relief work after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He was a military instructor, an expert linguist and spent time in painting and writing poetry. He was also an inventor who patented a new type of gold pan and different types of rifle and handgun sights.
Early life
Ord was the eldest male of 15 children (13 lived past childhood) and was born at Benicia Barracks, California, on November 9, 1858. His father, Edward Otho Cresap Ord, married Mary Mercer Thompson (1831–1894) on October 14, 1854. The senior Ord was a career military officer who was a hero in the American Civil War and had served as a major general of Volunteers. After the war, he reverted to brigadier general in the Regular Army.
On August 2, 1870, the family was in San Francisco, California with seven children. Edward, the eldest son, lived with servants and was taught by tutors and in public schools.Military career 1Indian WarsSecond Lieutenant Ord of the 22nd Infantry served in the Indian campaigns in Texas in 1880, and later commanded the Seminole Indian scouts in 1882 to about 1890. Since 1870, the U.S. Army invited Black Seminoles to return from Mexico to serve as army scouts for the United States. The Seminole Negro Indian Scouts (originally a black unit despite the name) played a lead role in the Texas Indian Wars of the 1870s. The scouts became famous for their tracking abilities and feats of endurance. Four men were awarded the Medal of Honor. They served as advance scouts for the commanding white officers and the all-black units known as the Buffalo Soldiers, with whom they were closely associated. After the close of the Texas Indian Wars, the scouts remained stationed at Fort Clark in Brackettville, Texas.
First Lieutenant Ord participated in the feared revolt of the Ghost Dancers supposedly led by Sitting Bull in mid-December 1891 and took part in patrols in Montana trying to keep the peace through the end of 1892. This was during the time when Sitting Bull was killed.Spanish–American WarLieutenant Ord fought at Santiago in Cuba during the Spanish–American War with the 22nd Infantry Regiment from July 3 to July 17, 1898. There he was promoted to captain. After the war, Captain Ord remained in Cuba for nine months as interpreter on the staff of General Henry Lawton. There he suffered from a mild case of yellow fever.
In 1908, he was the military instructor at St. Matthew's school in San Mateo, California and later at the University of Alabama.Military career 2In 1915, Ord was a military aide on the staff of the governor of Arizona. He was also a liaison with Army unit that included his former regiment. He saw service on the Mexican border due to the rise of tension along the border following the Battle of Agua Prieta. This was where Pancho Villa sustained his greatest defeat and his units were disorganized and wandered around northern Mexico foraging for supplies. Desperate for food and fresh horses, Pancho Villa camped his army of an estimated 500 horsemen outside of Columbus, New Mexico on the Mexican side of the border in March 1916. On March 9, 1916, he invaded the United States for supplies and arms which resulted in the Battle of Columbus. Ord had been given the rank of Major and served Arizona well in organizing and arming militia units. No major raids across the border took place in Arizona. and to writing poetry.
Ord was a Roman Catholic by religion. He died at Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California on April 4, 1923.<ref nameSpecial/>See also

Skirmish at the Genitchi Strait
|
The Skirmish at the Genitchi Strait was a minor action in the Crimean War, which occurred on 3 July 1855. It is notable in that it was the occasion on which a Victoria Cross was awarded, to seaman Joseph Trewavas.
The action
The Russians had built a large floating pontoon bridge across the Genitchi Strait, Sea of Azov, to connect the town of Genitchi to the Arabat Spit, and it served as the main supply route to reinforce their troops at Sevastopol. The destruction of the bridge would force the Russians to travel an extra to deliver supplies, and it therefore became a strategic objective for British forces. Two attacks to cut the floating bridge's hawsers had proved unsuccessful and alerted the Russian garrison. The British made a third attempt on 3 July 1855 using HMS Beagle's four-oared gig, commanded by Gunner John Hayles, and a small paddle-box steamer with one gun, under Midshipman Martin Tracy. The paddle-box steamer moored where the crew could see Russian soldiers marching about on shore and fired the first round in the breech, which drew the gun's securing bolts and made it useless. That left six men in a four-oared boat (including Joseph Trewavas), one rifle, ten rounds of ammunition, and a cutlass apiece to face two hundred enemy on shore behind heaps of coal.
In Trewavas's own words:
(Trewavas wondered why the Russians had not fired upon the British as they approached the pontoon bridge at Genitchi, but later a Russian officer explained that they had no idea the sailors planned to destroy the bridge, believing rather that they intended to destroy shipping, and therefore held fire with the intention of taking them prisoner.)

The Old Thames Shipyard is a historic shipyard on the Thames River at the end of Farnsworth Street in New London, Connecticut. Established in 1900, the shipyard included, at the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, a complete working steam-powered marine railway system, one of the few such in the nation.
John Wronowski took over the business (but not the property) from the Chappells in 1967. The shipyard property was taken by the United States Coast Guard in 1972, with plans to tear down the shipyard and expand its adjacent facilities. These plans were stalled by the National Register designation, and abandoned in 1976, amid disagreements with the city over the plans. Wronowski had fought the acquisition of the property, and was later given a waterfront area on Ferry Street in compensation, from which the Thames Shipyard operates. Wronowski, who had continued to lease this property from the Coast Guard, successfully acquired it in 1981. It now serves as the Thames Shipyard's North Yard, including its two main drydocks.See also*National Register of Historic Places listings in New London County, ConnecticutReferencesExternal links

Dunedin and Suburbs South
|
Dunedin and Suburbs South was a parliamentary electorate in the city of Dunedin in Otago, New Zealand from 1862 to 1866. From 1863 it was a multi-member electorate.
History
During the second session (from 7 July to 15 September 1862) of the 3rd Parliament, the Representation Act 1862 was passed. The Act stipulated that the two-member City of Dunedin electorate was to be abolished in 1863 and replaced with Dunedin and Suburbs North and Dunedin and Suburbs South. Clause 9 of the Act read:
The existing two members of the City of Dunedin shall thenceforth, as long as they retain their seats, be respectively members of the district of Dunedin and suburbs North and Dunedin and suburbs South, in manner following, that is to say, the earliest elected member shall be a member for the district of Dunedin and suburbs North, and the last elected member shall be a member for the district of Dunedin and suburbs South.
The first elected member was Thomas Dick, but he resigned from the City of Dunedin electorate during 1863, so a new election had to be held to determine the representative for Dunedin and Suburbs North. The last elected member was John Richardson, who won the second by-election during 1862 in the City of Dunedin electorate. Richardson resigned on 12 September 1862, so a writ was issued to elect a new member for the City of Dunedin electorate. This caused considerable confusion, as it was assumed that the electorate had ceased to exist, and the new Suburb electorates were to be established. Nevertheless, the returning officer went ahead as per the instructions given by Governor George Grey in the writ.
Following this discussion in the media, the election was not taken seriously. The nomination meeting in November 1862 was attended by "a selected audience of three electors, five boys, half-a-dozen diggers out of luck, one policeman and two reporters." Upon calling for nominations, the three electors had "an earnest discussion" and eventually resolved to put forward James Paterson, who was duly declared elected. and being the 'latest elected member', his seat was transferred to the Dunedin and Suburbs South electorate.
A second member was elected to the Dunedin and Suburbs South electorate in April 1863 – William Reynolds. Both members served until the end of the term of the 3rd Parliament in January 1866.
All this happened during the time of the Otago gold rush, which led to a significant increase in Otago's population. Changes to electorates reflected this situation. During this time, the Goldfields and later Gold Field Towns electorates were established.
The electorate was abolished in 1866. At that time, the City of Dunedin electorate was re-established. The Dunedin electorates of Caversham, Port Chalmers and Roslyn were all first established in 1866. The vast majority of Dunedin and Suburbs South went to the Caversham electorate.
Members of parliament
The electorate was represented by two members of parliament:
ElectionWinners 1862 by-election James Paterson(City of Dunedin incumbent) 1863 supplementary election William Reynolds
Election results
Only two elections were contested during the existence of the Dunedin and Suburbs South electorate.
1863 by-election
1863 supplementary election

William Priestley (Liberal politician)
|
thumb|right|William Priestley
Sir William Edwin Briggs Priestley (1859–1932) was a British Liberal politician from the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Bradford East.
Birth and early life
Born on 12 April 1859, he was the second son of Briggs Priestley, a Thornton-born millhand who became a major mill-owner in Bradford, was Mayor of Bradford for 1877–78, and sat as MP for neighbouring Pudsey from 1906 to 1919. His younger brother Arthur was MP for Grantham.
He was educated privately and at Harrogate College and, aged 16, received the Literate in Arts diploma awarded by Durham University. He displayed early promise as an artist and was the only candidate in his year to gain a certificate for watercolour painting in the Durham examination. His father and elder brother urged him to concentrate on developing his artistic skills, but he preferred to enter the family firm. His father's retirement and brother's early death left him, at the age of thirty-three, in control of the firm (Priestleys Limited) which then claimed to be "the largest manufacturer of All Wool Dress Goods in the world". Priestleys employed 1,200 hands in mills at Laisterdyke, Thornton and Idle, and had sales offices in London, Glasgow, New York and Montreal.
Civic work
Priestley followed his father into the radical wing of the Liberal party, but regarded Alfred Illingworth as his "political father". Elected a Councillor for Bradford's premier ward in 1895, he was prominent in the initiative to municipalise the city's technical college in 1898 and afterwards played a major role in reorganising it on "a thoroughly practical basis". He served as Chairman of Bradford Council's Technical Instruction Committee and of the more comprehensive Education Committee which replaced it under the Education Act 1902. Described as "intensely in earnest regarding uplifting of people through the medium of better opportunities of education", he made several tours of continental Europe and the United States to study different instruction systems at his own expense.
Having unsuccessfully contested the Bradford East Parliamentary seat at the 1900 General Election, he was elected an Alderman of Bradford in 1903 and its Mayor for 1904–5. Local economic depression had resulted in increased demands on Bradford's Cinderella Club, a charitable organisation with which Priestley had been associated since the 1890s and which provided free food, clothing and amusement for the city's poor children. In the winter of 1903-4 the club served more than 110,000 free meals and, by the time of Priestley's accession as mayor, its funds were approaching exhaustion.
At a heated meeting chaired by Priestley in November 1904, it was agreed that Bradford Council would assume responsibility for funding the club's provision of meals. The means by which this responsibility was to be discharged were ill-defined, but the commitment was the first of its kind by an English local authority. Alderman Fred Jowett argued that the cost should be a charge on the rates and in the first instance, to overcome legal difficulties, be paid from a salary to be voted to Priestley as mayor. Unhappy with this approach, Priestley launched an appeal for voluntary funding that raised more than £3,000 in donations. Between November 1904 and October 1905, 350,000 free meals were served to Bradford children.
During his mayoralty, Priestley laid the foundation stone of Bradford's Town Hall extension, and his term of office was considered so successful that in November 1905 the Liberal and Conservative groups on the council united in asking him to serve for a further year. He declined the invitation and two months later was returned as MP for Bradford East at the election which swept the Liberal Party to power. He held the seat until his defeat at the 1918 general election.
Legislation introduced by the new government included the Education (Provision of Meals) Act 1906, establishing the national system of free school meals. The Act was strongly influenced by the Bradford experience and, when supporting it in Parliamentary debate, Fred Jowett (newly returned as Independent Labour MP for Bradford West) emphasised the need for secure funding of the meals system, dismissing the £3,000 raised by Priestley's appeal as "not voluntarily subscribed for its own sake" but payment by the well-to-do to fend off the "bogey" of municipal welfare.
Parliamentary career
Priestley's 1906 majority in his Bradford constituency was 1,108. He increased it to 2,695 in January 1910 and to 3,044 in December 1910 but, following the national split in the Liberal Party, he lost heavily to the Coalition candidate in the coupon election of 1918.
His contributions from the floor of the House of Commons were slight, but he was active in lobbying ministers on trade issues and deserves credit for the Registration of Business Names Act 1916, which required registration of the ownership of each business operating under a name other than that of its proprietor(s). The measure was introduced by him as a private member's bill in 1914, and he successfully persuaded the Board of Trade to allow it a sympathetic passage.
He was ready to speak forcefully on a topic when the occasion required. Thus, in 1917, after the War Office commandeered the nation's entire wool supply, it was reported that “in terse and telling phrases he arraigned the official ‘amateurs’ on the score of their ignorance and bungling”, and he was shortly afterwards co-opted to the Central Wool Advisory Committee.
He sat on the House of Commons Local Legislation Committee and in 1917 was appointed to the Committee on Commercial and Industrial Policy, then considering adoption of the metric system.
He was outspoken in his opposition to women's suffrage, and both he and his wife were members of the deputation, led by Lord Curzon on behalf of the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage, which sought assurances from Prime Minister Asquith that no women's suffrage measure would be introduced except after a clear expression of support from the nation.
He was a member of the Executive of the National Liberal Federation, 1901–03, and of the committee of the Reform Club, was elected President of the national Museums Association in 1902, and was created a knight bachelor in the Birthday Honours of 1909.
Wartime initiatives
In 1914 Priestley led the delegation to obtain Field Marshal Kitchener's authorisation for forming the Bradford Citizens’ Army League that raised the ill-fated Bradford Pals’ battalions of the West Yorkshire Regiment. He gave £1,000 to the League on formation and, pending issue of military uniforms, provided volunteers with handsome enamel badges to signify their enlistment. He chaired the committee supporting the Bradford War Fund, paid a weekly allowance to the families of Priestleys’ employees who enlisted and, for ten years following the war, continued the allowance to dependants of those of them killed on active service.
Commercial endeavour
It was as a champion of free trade that Priestley stood for national political office, reflecting the dependency of both his constituency and his business on unhindered access to export markets. In trade he recognised the importance of responding promptly to changes in customer taste and of ensuring that advances in product and process compensated for what he saw as inevitable increases in British labour rates. The scale of economic demand in the 20th century presented, he said, challenges which individualism struggled to meet and which required effective combinations of resource and ideas and of capital and labour.
His personal knowledge of textile manufacturing technique and markets was comprehensive: he was the inventor of several improvements in production processes, involved himself in all departments of his business, travelled extensively in pursuit of export opportunities and better supply arrangements (the firm's wool was largely sourced from Australia) and was an accomplished promoter of Priestleys’ products. He believed the long-term success of a business involved “building up a strong and wealthy community”, and was reported to have good rapport with and respect among his workforce.
He was a key figure in the formation of the Textile Institute in 1910, contributed substantially to its Foundation Fund, succeeded Lord Rotherham as its President in 1913, and was made a Fellow of the Institute in 1927. He was senior Vice-President of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce and, in 1916, was elected an Honorary Secretary of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of Great Britain.
The Priestley Cup
In 1904, the year following its formation, the Bradford Cricket League introduced a series of limited-overs matches in which member clubs competed annually for a silver trophy donated by Priestley, who was the League's President. The competition, intended to raise income for local charities from gate-money, quickly became popular: 5,000 attended its final in 1904, 10,000 in 1913, and 13,300 in 1918 (when the Leeds Mercury described it as “the chief event of the wartime cricket season in Yorkshire” and suggested the competition had become “perhaps the most popular in the country”). In 1913 the League introduced a parallel competition in which the clubs’ second teams played for a silver shield, again donated by Priestley. The expense of organising matches consumed an increasing proportion of gate-receipts, but by 1929 more than £8,000 had been donated to charity. The Priestley Cup and Priestley Shield continue to be played for, and competition matches have produced many memorable moments including notable performances by nationally famous players.
Priestley also donated silver trophies for local association football, rugby and golf competitions and for award at athletics events, produce and livestock shows. All were known as Priestley Cups or Shields.
Other charitable interests
He was a Trustee of Bradford Royal Infirmary (he gave £5,000 to its building fund), of the Bradford Tradesmen's Home (a complex of almshouses in Manningham), and of other local benevolent institutions. He subscribed the funds enabling the Cinderella Club to provide day-excursions for poor widows and entertainments for large numbers of disadvantaged children and, together with his wife, took a particular interest in the children's holiday home established by the Club at Hest Bank, Morecambe, which he opened in 1905. He was President of the Club from 1918 until his death.
He was Patron of the Morecambe branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Chairman of the Institution's Bradford Branch
and a national Vice-President of the Institution. In 1933, to commemorate what would have been their silver wedding anniversary, his widow had a lifeboat designed and built for the Morecambe and Heysham Fishermen's Association; watched by a crowd of 20,000, she launched the vessel in the following year, naming it the Sir William Priestley.
Family, personal life and death
In 1883 Priestley married Ruth Craven, fourth of the six daughters of Joseph Craven of Thornton, MP for Shipley. Described as her husband's “alter ego”, she came “from a thoroughbred race of hard-headed people” and was “an ardent Liberal of great intelligence”.
Regularly sharing the political platform with her husband, Ruth Priestley was a confident public speaker and held office in several Bradford societies. The couple, who had two daughters, lived principally at Rosemount House, in Manningham, where during the war years Lady Priestley and a team of helpers ran a hospital supply depot that produced over 250,000 articles (dressing-gowns, pyjamas, surgical bandages, swabs and operation stockings) from fabric donated by Priestley.
In 1905 Priestley bought the 1,900-acre Littledale Hall estate, in the Forest of Bowland, on 200 acres of which he ran an experimental farm. He was described as a superior shot, a brilliant billiards player and a very moderate golfer, and was said, like Gladstone, to enjoy chopping down a tree.
He was a Council member and Vice-President of the Bronte Society - to which he lent his collection of Charlotte's pencil drawings and watercolours, together with letters written by her and her father, all exhibited at the opening of the Society's first museum at Haworth in 1895. William Scruton's Thornton and the Brontes was dedicated to Priestley, who sent copies of the volume to every member of the Society as a Christmas gift in 1898. His library at Rosemount included several volumes inscribed by Patrick Bronte, as well as important first editions.
He died at Rosemount on 25 March 1932. Following cremation his ashes were scattered on his Littledale estate. His coat of arms is displayed in the oriel window of the Banqueting Hall of Bradford City Hall. His widow lived at Rosemount until her death, aged 98, in 1954.

The Shaw Mansion, also known as the Shaw-Perkins Mansion and as the Shaw Mansion Museum, is a historic mansion and house museum at 11 Blinman Street between Bank and Brewer Streets in New London, Connecticut. Built in 1756 for Nathaniel Shaw Sr., it is a well-preserved example of a wealthy merchant's house, made further notable as the location of the state's naval offices during the American Revolutionary War. The headquarters and museum of the New London County Historical Society have been located in the Shaw Mansion since 1907.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
Description and history
The Shaw Mansion stands overlooking New London's southern downtown waterfront, on the north side of Blinman Street at Bank Street. It is a large three-story granite structure, whose main block is six bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across its width. A three-story granite wing extends the main block to the right at a recess. The interior follows a central hall plan, with a two-stage staircase in the central hall that has a fine mahogany banister and balustrade.
However it happened, the house survived the fires, suffering only the loss of a wood-frame annex, which was afterwards rebuilt in granite in 1840. The single-story porch across the front was added in the mid-19th century. The society was founded in 1870. The house is now operated as a museum and is the repository of antiques and its extensive research library.<ref nameplaque />See also*National Register of Historic Places listings in New London County, ConnecticutReferencesExternal links

The Lebanon Green Historic District encompasses the historic town center of Lebanon, Connecticut. It extends along the mile-long town green, including historic buildings that face it and a few on nearby streets. The green is bounded on its north by Connecticut Route 87 and on the south by West Town Street, and extends from a junction with Connecticut Route 289 to a triangular point south of Connecticut Route 207. The district includes a number of prominent civic and religious buildings, including the town hall, library, and Congregational church, although these are all 20th century buildings. Prominent buildings include the National Historic Landmark John Trumbull Birthplace, William Williams House, and the 1730 War Office, in which many meetings of the state's military council were held during the American Revolutionary War. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The town of Lebanon was incorporated in 1700, and the area that became the green was settled by Joseph Trumble in 1704. He raised cattle and operated a store, whose 1730 building became the War Office. The green's expanse of grassy meadows is a rare surviving example of an 18th-century town common in Connecticut. In addition to the buildings associated with the prominent Trumbull family, several are also associated with the family of William A. Buckingham, who was governor during the American Civil War. The civic buildings are clustered near its southern end, while the sides are lined mainly by residences in 18th and 19th-century vernacular styles.<ref nameNRHP/>See also*National Register of Historic Places listings in New London County, ConnecticutReferences

The Public Library of New London is a historic library located at 63 Huntington Street at the corner of State Street, New London, Connecticut. The library was given to the city by Henry Philomen Haven. and was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in the Richardsonian Romanesque style; George Warren Cole was the project supervisor.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
Design
Whaling merchant Henry P. Haven died in 1876, and his money was to be split among his three children. However, his son Thomas had died, so Thomas' portion was put into a trust to be used for "charitable and benevolent purposes". The trustees of the Haven inheritance secured a charter in 1882 for a public library, and they hired Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge of Boston to design it. The firm sent George Warren Cole to be the project supervisor. Cole also served as the supervisor of the Williams Memorial Institute and the Nathan Hale School.<ref namehistory /><ref namenll /> Work commenced in 1889 and it was completed and opened by July 1891.<ref namebene />
Alteration and expansion
The 1970 National Register of Historic Places nomination states that the building had not been altered with "one possible exception of an elevator" which seemed to date from the nineteenth century but "does not appear in the plans."<ref namehp /> However, the library added a 15,000 square foot extension in 1974. Further renovations increased the space for administrative offices and collections, concluding in March 2001. The Children's area and meeting rooms also underwent renovations in 2006.<ref namehistory />

Alden Tavern Site is a historic site in Lebanon, Connecticut. The tavern was originally built in 1738 and owned by Captain Alden. By 1850, it had passed to Alden's descendant, Mr. Wattles. The Alden Tavern is well known for being the site of the horsewhipping of a captive General Richard Prescott, commander of the British troops of Rhode Island, by the tavern's owner Captain Alden when he dined at Alden's tavern. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and listed under the "Event" and "Information Potential" criteria. It was listed as only having fieldstone foundations remaining. A parking lot was paved over the site in 2010, adding 26 paved spaces and 70 spaces in overflow parking on a grass field. It is now known as the Alden Tavern Parking Lot by the town of Lebanon.
Owners
In the American Revolutionary War the tavern was run by Captain Alden. Around 1850, it was owned by Mr. Wattles, a descendant of Captain Alden.
Historical significance
The Alden Tavern is well known for being the site of the horsewhipping of a captive General Richard Prescott, commander of the British troops of Rhode Island, by the tavern's owner Captain Alden. Several days after Prescott's capture, he was escorted to General George Washington's headquarters, but on the trip came to dine at Alden's tavern. Several books detail different accounts and portrayals of the exchanges which led to Prescott's whipping, all involving the Prescott being served "the common dish of corn and beans" and throwing the food on the floor. Three of Benson Lossing's books recount this tale, in The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution Volume 1 (1852), Our Countrymen (1855) and Lives of Celebrated Americans: Comprising Biographies of Three Hundred and Forty Eminent Persons (1869). It also appears in similar wording in ''The Boys of '76: A History of the Battles of the Revolution'' by Charles Coffin in 1876, with Prescott's line being: "Do you give me the pigs' feed". The story has persisted and a fictional account was referenced in 2010 in Martha Finley's Elsie Yachting with the Raymonds.
Fate
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 1998, and it was noted that fieldstone foundations remained. The property is also listed as a contributing property for the Lebanon Green Historic District. The town received a Small Town Economic Assistance Program grant for $250,000 to construct the parking lot. Coit Excavating won the contract with the lowest bid of $193,000 and began construction in April 2010 and was expected to be completed by May 31, 2010. The paved parking lot has 26 spots with 70 more for overflow in a grass field. It is now known as the Alden Tavern Parking Lot.See also*National Register of Historic Places listings in New London County, ConnecticutReferences

}}
James Paterson (1807 – 29 July 1886) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in Otago, New Zealand. He was a cabinet minister, and on the Legislative Council.
Paterson was born in Edinburgh in 1807. He lived in British Guiana for 14 years and by the early 1850s, he had returned to Edinburgh. He met George Ross, one of Dunedin's first settlers, who had come back to Edinburgh to have a ship built for him. Paterson emigrated to Dunedin on that ship, the Clutha, and reached Dunedin on 12 February 1854. He was a merchant in Dunedin and went into partnership with George Hepburn, and together they bought out the business of James Macandrew.
Paterson was first elected onto the Otago Provincial Council for the Town of Dunedin electorate on 2 October 1861 and served for the remainder of the third council, and for all of the fourth council until 10 January 1867. For three separate periods between April 1862 and April 1865, he was a member of the executive council.
When Edward McGlashan resigned from the City of Dunedin parliamentary electorate, he contested the resulting May 1862 by-election, but was beaten by John Richardson. Richardson himself resigned not long after, and Paterson won the resulting by-election unopposed. He represented the City of Dunedin electorate until the following year (1863), when he in turn also resigned.

The Rotte () is a river in the Rhine-Maas-delta in the Netherlands. The Rotte is the eponym of the city of Rotterdam: the city's name references a dam (Middle Dutch: dam) which local inhabitants built across the river in the 13th century CE.EtymologyThe river was originally named Rotta, from rot, meaning "muddy" and aa meaning "water," thus "muddy water."
Geography
It rises in Moerkapelle in the so-called Green Heart. It used to drain the Zuidplas lake until it was reclaimed in 1840.
It flows past Bleiswijk and Bergschenhoek; and then the village of Hillegersberg, which was built on a sand dune and was one of the few places in the marsh land that could be permanently settled before the dikes were constructed. In the churchyard there are the ruins of a 13th-century castle whose origins probably date back to the Roman Empire. Originally it flowed into the Nieuwe Maas in Rotterdam; however, the lower reach of the river was dammed off and the water now flows to the Nieuwe Maas via several man-made canals.
On the outskirts of Rotterdam, the Rotte merges with the Crooswijksesingel. Here, there is an old factory building of the Heineken brewery, which was brought here in the city due to the efforts of .
Inner Rotte
The Inner Rotte, that is, the part of the river in the Rotterdam city area, had to give way in 1869–1871 to the construction of the "Luchtspoor", an elevated section of the railway line. The river water was diverted via the Stokvisverlaat, the Delftse Vaart and Vlasmarktsluis to the . When the Luftwaffe bombed the city in 1940, this connection was also damaged. During the Second World War, city planner created a new connection to Leuvehaven. After the war, the Rotte was no longer used for freight transport.
The construction of the east–west line of the Rotterdam Metro interrupted the direct connection between the Rotte and Nieuwe Maas. Since then, the river water flows through an underground channel to the Oostplein.
In 1993 the elevated section of the railroad was demolished; trains now use the "Willemspoor" tunnel. Plans were made to dredge the old river bed and fill it with water. These plans were never implemented. The Inner Rotte is now a wide avenue, where events such as markets can be held. The former dam was situated where today the Inner Rotte crosses the Hoogstraat ('High Street').

Cos Cob Power Station was a historic power station near the Metro-North Railroad tracks, the Mianus River and Sound Shore Drive in the Cos Cob area of Greenwich, Connecticut.
The Spanish Revival style station building of 1907 was significant as part of the first mainline railroad electrification in the United States, using alternating current (AC) electrification. The New York City subway systems and a Hudson River railroad line used lower voltage direct current (DC) electrification, but for longer distances that would mean high transmission losses or frequent and closely spaced substations.
The power station was decommissioned in 1986–87.
The plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,<ref namenris/> but despite the listing and local and national debate, the plant was demolished in 2001. Part of the site is now a public park, and a plaque commemorating the plant is located at the nearby Cos Cob Railroad Station.<ref nameasme/>See also

Brett Connolly (born May 2, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is currently a free agent. During his major junior career with the Prince George Cougars, he was named Western Hockey League (WHL) and Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Rookie of the Year for the 2008–09 season. Selected sixth overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, he joined the team in 2011–12. He was later traded to the Boston Bruins, following which he signed with the Washington Capitals prior to the 2016–17 season. Connolly won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Capitals in 2018.
Internationally, Connolly has represented Canada at the 2009 IIHF World U18 Championships, 2009 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, 2011 IIHF U20 Championships and 2012 IIHF U20 Championships.
Playing career
Amateur
Raised in Prince George, British Columbia, Connolly was selected by his hometown Prince George Cougars as their first selection, tenth overall, in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft. As a 15-year-old, he played major midget for the Caribou Cougars in Prince George, while also appearing in four WHL games. He joined the WHL's Cougars full-time in 2008–09, scoring 30 goals and 30 assists in 65 games. He was named the winner of the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as WHL rookie of the year. The recognition made him one of three nominees for the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Rookie of the Year; he beat-out the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)'s Dmitri Kulikov and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Evgeny Grachyov for the national distinction.
Conolly's second full WHL season was marred with hip problems. He played in just 12 of the Cougars' first 46 games He was named to play in the 2010 CHL Top Prospects Game, but did not participate. He recorded 19 points over 16 games.
Connolly was highly ranked for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He was listed as the sixth-best player amongst North American skaters for the draft in the International Scouting Services' midterm rankings and finished the season 13th among all skaters. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranked him fourth overall amongst North American skaters in their midterm rankings, before moving him up a spot in their final rankings.
Attending his first NHL training camp in September 2010, Connolly was returned to the Cougars to continue developing at the major junior level for the 2010–11 season. Whilst playing in his fourth WHL season, he was named captain of the Cougars and recorded 73 points over 59 games, leading his team in scoring.ProfessionalTampa Bay LightningConnolly made the Lightning's NHL roster in October 2011 out of training camp. He then scored his first career NHL goal on November 1 against Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes. His first professional season, however, was interrupted when he was loaned to Team Canada for a second-straight appearance at the IIHF World U20 Championships.
On January 10, 2012, Prince George traded Connolly's WHL rights to the Tri-City Americans in exchange for a bantam draft pick and two conditional draft picks should Connolly return to the WHL; the condition was never met. Connolly finished his rookie NHL season with 68 games played and 15 points scored (four goals and 11 assists).
On September 14, 2012, the Tampa Bay Lightning assigned Connolly, as well as 17 others, to the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Syracuse Crunch during the 2012–13 NHL lockout. On April 4, 2013, Tampa recalled Connolly from the Crunch. In the AHL, he appeared in 67 games, registering 27 goals and 57 points to go along with a +15 plus-minus rating and 51 penalty minutes. He ranked second on the Syracuse roster in both goals and points, and third for assists with 30. After a five-game stint in which he scored one goal, on April 12, the Lightning reassigned Connolly back to the AHL. Connolly would then remain with Syracuse, where he helped the Crunch reach the Calder Cup Final against the Grand Rapids Griffins, though the team would be defeated in the six-game series.
In preparation for the upcoming 2013–14 season, Connolly had a strong training camp with the Lightning, scoring four goals during the pre-season. However, on September 29, Tampa Bay assigned Connolly to Syracuse as the team finalized its NHL roster. Connolly's demotion was in large part due to the impressive play of rookies Tyler Johnson, Ondřej Palát and Richard Pánik, who as a line had posted five goals and ten points in four pre-season games; the line was expected to serve as Tampa's third line, thereby relegating Connolly to limited fourth line minutes. Explaining the demotion, Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman stated, "I don't want Brett playing on the fourth line. I want him playing a lot of minutes, he's got to go [to Syracuse] and be our top guy, be a leader and carry the team, if need be. That's another step for him. There's no plan to leave him there for any period of time."
On October 17, however, the Lightning recalled Connolly from Syracuse, appearing in one game with the team before again being reassigned on October 20. On October 31, the Tampa recalled Connolly, where he played in six games, scoring game-winning goal against the St. Louis Blues on November 2 before being demoted again on November 22. Connolly was named to the 2014 AHL All-Stars roster. He finished his NHL season with 11 games played and one goal scored while also playing in 66 AHL games, scoring 21 goals and 57 points, leading the Crunch in the latter statistic.
On July 10, 2014, the Lightning re-signed Connolly to a one-year, two-way contract. On October 24, Connolly played in the first period against the Winnipeg Jets, but he would miss the rest of the game with a lower body injury. After being out for nearly a month, Connolly returned to the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs on November 20. On December 6, Connolly played in his 100th career NHL game in 3–1 Lightning loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Boston Bruins
On March 2, 2015, at the NHL trade deadline, Connolly was traded to the Boston Bruins in exchange for two second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2016. On March 4, he fractured his hand in his second skate with the Bruins. On April 3, Connolly made his debut with the Bruins, recording two assists in Boston's 3–2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
On July 6, 2015, Connolly agreed to re-sign with the Bruins on a one-year contract as a restricted free agent.
Washington Capitals
Unable to live up to his draft expectations with the Lightning and the Bruins, Connolly as a restricted free agent was not tendered a contract by Boston. On July 1, 2016, Connolly signed to a one-year contract as a free agent with the Washington Capitals. On July 1, 2017, he signed a two-year contract extension with the Capitals.
In his first season with Washington, Connolly recorded a career-high 15 goals while appearing in 68 games. The following season, in 2017–18, he equaled that career best in goals while also recording a career-high 27 points. He appeared in all 24 playoff games for the Capitals in 2018 while scoring six goals and three assists, including the primary assist on Lars Eller's Stanley Cup-winning goal with 7:37 left in the third period of Game 5 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals.
Florida Panthers
On July 1, 2019, having left the Capitals as a free agent after three seasons, Connolly was signed to a four-year, $14 million contract by the Florida Panthers. In his first year with the Panthers in the 2019–20 season, Connolly contributed with 19 goals and 33 points through 69 regular season games. He was scoreless in 4 qualifying playoff games, in a series defeat to the New York Islanders.
In the following pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Connolly struggled to repeat his offensive totals, producing just 2 goals and 4 points through 21 games before he was placed on waivers by the Panthers and assigned to the taxi squad.
Chicago Blackhawks
On April 8, 2021, Connolly was traded by the Panthers alongside Riley Stillman, the rights to Henrik Borgström and a 2021 seventh-round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Lucas Carlsson and Lucas Wallmark. He made 10 appearances to close out the season with the Blackhawks, registering 2 points.
In the following season, after attending training camp, Connolly was placed on waivers and re-assigned to begin the year with AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. Connolly made just 9 appearances throughout the season with the Blackhawks, unable to register a goal. He finished with 17 goals in 37 regular season games with the IceHogs.
On July 11, 2022, Connolly was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks for the purpose of buying out the remaining year on his contract, he was released as a free agent the following day.SwitzerlandIn leaving the NHL and North America after 11 seasons, Connolly embarked on a European career in agreeing to a one-year contract with Swiss club, HC Lugano of the NL, on September 5, 2022. Connolly finished 2nd in points on the team with 12 goals and 26 assists for 38 points in 45 games.
In June 2023, Connolly signed with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the NL. His season ended early after just 10 games, as he had to undergo season-ending hip surgery.
International play
}}
Connolly made his international debut with Hockey Canada, representing Team Pacific at the 2009 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He helped the team to the gold medal game, where they lost 5–1 to Team Ontario. Connolly recorded eight points (three goals and five assists) over six games. Several months later, he joined Team Canada for the 2009 IIHF World U18 Championships. He scored six points in six games as Canada placed fourth. Connolly remained with the national under-18 team for the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in August 2009. Connolly recorded an assist in the gold medal game, helping Canada to a 9–2 win over Russia. During the tournament, Connolly hurt his hip, a nagging injury that sidelined him long-term throughout the following season.
Connolly returned to the under-18 team the following year for the 2010 IIHF World U18 Championships in Minsk and Bobruisk, Belarus. Connolly recorded one goal over four games, as Canada finished in fourth place for the second consecutive year.
Moving on to the under-20 level, Connolly joined Canada's junior team for the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, New York. He recorded three assists over seven games, as Canada won silver. They lost in the gold medal game to Russia. Playing in his NHL rookie season the following year, the Tampa Bay Lightning loaned Connolly to the national junior team for the 2012 World Junior Championships. His wife Katrina is also from Canada.

"Dreamin'" is a song and single released by the British Rock band Status Quo in 1986. It was included on the album In the Army Now.
"Dreamin'" was originally titled "Naughty Girl". The 7 inch vinyl single was also issued with a wraparound poster/calendar. The Wet Mix on the 12 inch vinyl single is unavailable elsewhere. The "Quo Christmas Cake Mix" is a medley produced by Sonny-X that comprises extracts from the original Quo recordings of the songs featured; this medley is also unavailable on any other album.
According to the book Just for the Record this was the first song co-written by Francis Rossi and Bernie Frost. They wrote it as "Naughty Girl" in the very early 1970s, almost 15 years prior to recording it. It was one of the first demos recorded by the then "new" line-up in 1985. Scheduled as a single backed with the unreleased "Rock And Roll Floorboards", it first was cancelled as Alan Lancaster went to court to stop Rossi and Parfitt from using the name "Status Quo". For this reason "Naughty Girl" was allocated the "lost" matrix number QUO17. While test pressings were made for the 7" an extended mix remained completely unreleased.
As "Dreamin'" it finally appeared on the album and became the follow-up release to the "In The Army Now" single later. Various mixes of the song exist both in official and unofficial releases.

Maxwell E. Perkins House is a historic house at 63 Park Street in New Canaan, Connecticut.
The Greek Revival house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The house was home to Maxwell E. Perkins, the editor of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe.
The house was built in 1836 for Mrs. Clarinda Fitch Ayres (a widow) and her unmarried brothers. During the 19th century, the house was first a private house and then was used as a boarding house. After a period as a day school (1919–1924), the house was acquired by Maxwell E. Perkins and his wife who lived in the house with their five daughters. The house was in very poor condition by the time it was purchased by Richard and Sandra Bergmann, architects who restored the house for use both as their architectural offices and their house.
In 2019 the house was acquired by the Onera Foundation with the intention of converting the house into an architectural museum and exhibit space. The foundation hired William D. Earls, AIA as the architect for the project and hired Milton Gregory Grew, AIA as codes consultant. The design professionals prepared construction documents that were submitted for permits in early 2020.

Roslyn (New Zealand electorate)
|
Roslyn was a parliamentary electorate in the city of Dunedin in the Otago region of New Zealand from 1866 to 1890.
Population centres
In the 1865 electoral redistribution, the House of Representatives focussed its review of electorates to South Island electorates only, as the Otago gold rush had caused significant population growth, and a redistribution of the existing population. Fifteen additional South Island electorates were created, including Roslyn, and the number of Members of Parliament was increased by 13 to 70.
Roslyn began as quite a large electorate, covering areas on the northern half of the Otago Peninsula as far east as St Leonards, Leith Valley, and western Dunedin suburbs including Roslyn. In the 1870 electoral redistribution, the area was reduced in the north (resulting in the loss of Leith Valley to ) and south-west. In the 1875 electoral redistribution, the area that has been lost in the north was gained again. In the 1881 electoral redistribution, the area reduced significantly and comprised western suburbs only; St Leonards and Leith Valley were both lost at that time. In the 1887 electoral redistribution, the area was further adjusted, but the electorate continued to cover western Dunedin suburbs. In the 1890 electoral redistribution, the Roslyn electorate was abolished and most of its area went to the new electorate, with some small areas going to the three-member electorate.
History
George Hepburn, the electorate's first representative who was elected in 1866, resigned in 1869. Henry Driver replaced him. Arthur John Burns was elected in the 1875 general election, and resigned in 1878. He was succeeded by Driver, who started his second period of representation that year.
Election results
The electorate was represented by six Members of Parliament:

Terror Circus
|
DVD Verdict negatively reviewed the film, commenting that it was "just dull and dumb". In the book Cult Horror Films Welch Everman criticized the movie's attempt to contain what he saw as "phony feminism", as he felt that it was added as a way to allow viewers to enjoy the movie's violence against its female protagonists and "not feel guilty afterwards".
AllMovie gave the film a negative review complimenting the film's premise, but criticized the film's failure at delivering the "kinky delights" it promised, slow pacing, and lack of character development, calling the film an "amateurish mess of sex fantasy and nuclear horror".
In his book Terror in the Desert: Dark Cinema of the American Southwest (2018), writer Brad Sykes notes that the circus compound in which the film is set, "with its tattered circus posters and neglected cages, is one of the most powerful examples of rural isolation ever presented in a desert terror film."Home mediaThe film was first released on DVD by Legend House, LLC on January 29, 2008. It was later re-released by Shriek Show and Code Red on March 31, 2009 and September 27, 2011, respectively, with Code Red releasing the film as a double feature alongside the 1981 horror film Scream under its Barn of the Naked Dead title. Code Red released the film on Blu-ray on October 20, 2015, available exclusively through Screen Archives Entertainment's online store. Code Red reissued the film on Blu-ray in conjunction with Kino Lorber on July 12, 2022.

Rock Ledge is a historic estate on Highland Avenue in the Rowayton section of Norwalk, Connecticut. It was built in 1911–13 featuring Tudor Revival and Jacobethan Revival architecture. Edward Moeller designed the 1911 lodge, and Tracy Walker the 1913 main house, after the 1911 house burned down. The mansion belonged to a U.S. Steel executive. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
History
In 1910, James A. Farrell, later president of the United States Steel Corporation, built a Tudor revival mansion, which burned down in 1913 and was rebuilt in granite. The estate was later bought by the Sperry Rand Corporation, and it was on these grounds that the corporation developed the first business computer, known as the UNIVAC. Since 1966, the Farrell family stables have been converted to the Rowayton Community Center and the Rowayton Library. In 1964, part of the estate was purchased by the Thomas School for girls, a day and boarding school founded by Mabel Thomas in 1922. The school later merged with other private schools in the area, eventually becoming King Low Heywood Thomas in 1988. The school is now co-educational and located in Stamford, Connecticut. The mansion and attached office building was previously owned by Hewitt Associates. Currently, the main house of the estate is home to Graham Capital Management. Graham Capital Management purchased the historic Rock Ledge property at 40 Highland Avenue in the Rowayton area of Norwalk, Connecticut, which underwent renovations to become a financial center. The refurbishments were completed in December 2003, and the building was occupied in early 2004.

Francis Charles Chacksfield (9 May 1914 – 9 June 1995) was an English pianist, organist, composer, arranger, and conductor of popular light orchestral easy listening music, who had great success in Britain and internationally in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Life and career
Chacksfield was born in Battle, East Sussex, and as a child learned to play the piano and organ. His organ teacher was J. R. Sheehan-Dare (1857–1934). He had appeared at Hastings Music Festivals by the time he was 14, and then became deputy church organist at Salehurst. After working for a short period in a solicitor's office he decided on a career in music, and by the late 1930s, led a small band at Tonbridge in Kent. At the beginning of World War II, he joined the Royal Army Service Corps, and, following a radio broadcast as a pianist, was posted to ENSA at Salisbury where he became the arranger for Stars in Battledress, an armed forces entertainment troupe, and shared an office with comedian Charlie Chester.
After the war, he worked with Chester and on BBC Radio as an arranger and conductor. He also worked as musical director for both Henry Hall and Geraldo, and began recording under his own name in 1951 as "Frank Chacksfield's Tunesmiths". In early 1953, he had his first top ten hit, "Little Red Monkey", on the Parlophone label. This was a novelty recording featuring Jack Jordan on the clavioline, and reportedly the first record featuring an electronic instrument to feature on the UK singles chart.
Chacksfield signed a recording contract with Decca Records in 1953, and formed a 40-piece orchestra with a large string section, the "Singing Strings". His first record release for Decca, Charlie Chaplin's theme for his film Limelight, won him a gold disc in the United States, and in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart, and won him the NME award as 'Record of the Year'. It spent eight weeks at No. 2 (an all-time UK chart record), and in all thirteen weeks in the top five chart positions, without dislodging Frankie Laine's "I Believe". His next 78 single, "Ebb Tide", became the first British instrumental recording to reach No. 1 in the United States, spending 5 weeks on top of the Your Hit Parade chart from November 1953 to January 1954 (including Christmas week), also providing him with a second gold disc, In 1954, he began presenting a series on BBC TV, which continued occasionally until the early 1960s. Chacksfield was responsible for the musical arrangement of the first UK entry into the Eurovision Song Contest 1957; "All" by Patricia Bredin. He continued to write music, release singles and albums through the 1950s and 1960s, and appeared regularly on BBC radio.
From the album All Time Top T.V. Themes (Decca PFS 4087, 1966; also as The Great TV Themes on London SP 44077), several tracks were used by Dutch offshore pirate radio station Radio Veronica in the 1960s. "Rawhide" and "Dragnet" were used in the news jingles; "The Alfred Hitchcock Theme" was also used.Discography (selected)Albums

Palacio del Marqués del Apartado
|
The Palace of the Marquis del Apartado is a historic residence located in Mexico City, just to the northeast of the city's Zocalo (main plaza) in the Historic center of Mexico City.
It was built between 1795 and 1805 over one of the pyramids of the Aztec sacred precinct in Tenochtitlan. The residence was initially built for the main minter of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the third floor was prepared to become the residence of Spanish king Ferdinand VII. However, the king never came to colonial Mexico. Today, the palace houses the main headquarters of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH).
History
During the Aztec Empire, the land on which this building is located was part of the teocalli, or sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan. The building sits on the remains of the pyramid dedicated to the goddess Cihuacóatl, the sister of Huitzilopochtli.
After the conquest, the site was part of land granted to the Acevedo family. This grant extended to what are now the streets of Rep. de Guatemala, Rep. de Argentina, Donceles and Rep. de Brasil. Over time, however, this grant was split up and parts sold to other owners. The site of the current palace was sold to Francisco de Fagoaga y Arósqueta, who was in charge of minting and the collection of the king's share of precious metals mined in Mexico. Tolsa designed the building similarly to the Palacio de Minería, which he designed, and included workshops for smelting metals and a chapel.
In the first decade of the 19th century, the topmost floor was remodeled and prepared to become the residence of Fernando VII of Spain. However, the Spanish king never occupied the palace as he abdicated in 1808 and became the prisoner of Napoleon.
After Mexican Independence in the early 19th century, the palace was owned by several wealthy families, who used it as an official residence. The lower part of the house was rented to businesses while the families lived on the upper two floors.
Over time, the building has been remodeled several times. In 1901, the main courtyard and corridors were covered with an iron and glass translucent roof. From 1901 to 1908, it housed a major collection of works from the French Enlightenment as well as an extensive collection of fine arts. The latter eventually became part of the collection of the Academy of San Carlos. After the Mexican Revolution, it became government property, and it was remodeled to become the seat of the Secretaria de Justicia e Instrucción Pública. In 1962, architect Jorge L. Medellín and engineer Manuel M. Haro it was remodeled again, modernizing its electrical system and pipes.
Since it became government property in the early 20th century, the building has housed a number of government agencies. Initially it was the home of the Secretaria de Justicia e Institución Pública. After that, it housed the Secretaría de Fomento and Secretaría de Comercio y Trabajo from 1917 to 1934, the Secretaría de la Economía in 1947, the Secretaría de Industria y Comercio from 1959 to 1961 and the Compañía Nacional de Subsistencias Populares until the early 21st century.
In 1989, cracks, fissures and other damage were detected from the building's tilt towards the nearby Metro Station. Initial efforts to correct the damage were undertaken in 1990–1994. Starting in 1995, a hydraulic system to inject and extract water into and from the subsoil was developed, buried forty meters under the building. Much of the building's sinking is due to dropping water tables underneath Mexico City because of the overpumping of groundwater for drinking. The hydraulic system is designed to artificially maintain water pressure under the building to keep it from sinking.
Since 2005, it has been with the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, which uses it as its main headquarters and has restored much of its decorative work.
Description
The building covers an area of 3000 m2, with 60 rooms such as halls, dining rooms, kitchens etc. It has two courtyards, with a fountain in the main one. The other courtyard functioned as a stable in the 19th century. This building is similar to Tolsa's Palacio de la Mineria in that both have two facades. The main facade is on Argentina and continues around the corner onto Donceles. The main facade is split into three sections. The middle section, where the main entrance is, stands out slightly from the other two. Except for this entrance, the ground floor is relatively free of decoration as it was of lesser importance than the two upper floors. The exception is the main entrance, which is decorated with a pediment placed over four Doric columns. The other floors are decorated with quarried stone pilasters and columns to frame the windows and balconies.
Under the stairs that lead onto the main patio, pre-Hispanic ruins are visible. Archeological work has been done here since 1985, when restoration work uncovered a large Aztec-era stone sculpture of an eagle in the foundation of the building, where the remains of the pre-Hispanic temple are. The piece was excavated and preserved by archeologist Elsa Hernández Pons of INAH. It is considered unique as it is the only one that has been preserved in situ. The eagle is in a seated position and measures 1.39 meters long, 0.82 meters wide and 0.72 meters tall. It weighs approximately 1.5 tons. The eagle is sculpted in a realistic manner, with details such as feathers of different sizes in relief. It was painted in various colors such as ochre, orange and red. Elements of the sculpture, such as the right side of the face, are missing.

List of compositions by Francis Poulenc
|
ist in 1930]]
This is a list of works written by the French composer Francis Poulenc (1899–1963).
As a pianist, Poulenc composed many pieces for his own instrument in his piano music and chamber music. He wrote works for orchestra including several concertos, also three operas, two ballets, incidental music for plays and film music. He composed songs (mélodies), often on texts by contemporary authors. His religious music includes the Mass in G major, the Stabat Mater and Gloria.
Overview
'' by Jacques-Émile Blanche. The pianist Marcelle Meyer is surrounded by (left) Tailleferre, Milhaud and Honegger, (right) Poulenc, Jean Cocteau, Auric and Jean Wiener, while Durey is missing.]]
The composer had written a catalogue of his works in 1921, which is reproduced in Schmidt's book. According to this list, the first noted piece was in 1914 ''Processional pour la crémation d'un mandarin for piano, now lost or destroyed. Poulenc completed his last work, his Oboe Sonata, in 1962.
Piano, chamber music and songs
As a professional pianist, Poulenc wrote many pieces for his own instrument. He was a prolific writer of works of chamber music, often with piano, and some works for two pianos. Poulenc composed many songs (mélodies), most of them accompanied by piano, but some also in versions with a small instrumental ensembles, for example his Rapsodie nègre for baritone, flute, clarinet, string quartet and piano. He composed easily for woodwind instruments, scoring for example a piano trio with oboe and bassoon instead of the traditional violin and cello. Poulenc was less familiar with string instruments. The cellist Pierre Fournier helped him to write the Cello Sonata, which he premiered with the composer as the pianist. Poulenc destroyed all sketches for string quartets and three for violin sonatas, while only the fourth one survived, but was received critically.
Orchestra and stage
Among his works with orchestra are three operas, two ballet, incidental music for plays, film music and concertos, some with unusual solo instruments such as harpsichord and organ. The harpsichordist Wanda Landowska inspired the composition of the Concert champêtre.
'Collaboration in the group Les Six'
Poulenc was a member of the group of composers Les Six, with Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud and Germaine Tailleferre, and contributed to their collective productions, which included another ballet.
Sacred music and choral music
Poulenc turned to writing also religious music in the 1930s, composing a Mass in G major for a cappella choir. He composed the Stabat Mater in 1950 in memory of the painter Christian Bérard in 1950. The late Gloria for soprano, choir and orchestra became one of his best-known works. He drew inspiration for his sacred compositions mostly from liturgical texts.
Songs
For his songs and song cycles, he often collaborated with contemporary poets, setting poems by writers such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Louis Aragon, Paul Éluard, Max Jacob, Federico García Lorca, and Louise de Vilmorin, whom he mentioned in titles. He further set poems by Théodore de Banville, Maurice Carême, Colette, Robert Desnos, Maurice Fombeure, Marie Laurencin, Madeleine Ley, François de Malherbe, Ronsard, Jean Moréas, Jean Nohain and Paul Valéry, among others. In 1943, during the occupation of France, a cantata Figure humaine on poems by Éluard which celebrate Liberté.List of works by FP number
The Music of Francis Poulenc (1899–1963): A Catalogue'', abbreviated FP, is a chronological catalogue of Francis Poulenc's works which was published by Carl B. Schmidt in 1995. Schmidt provides for each known composition, which includes unfinished, unpublished and lost works, a detailed history of composition and performance, and lists manuscripts and publications.
In the table, the works are initially listed by the FP number. Other information given is the French title, a translation if commonly used, the key, the scoring if not clear from the title, the year(s) of composition, the genre, text information, notes and a free score when available, and the page number in the catalogue. Abbreviations used are "rev." for "revised", "orch." for "orchestration", arr. for "arrangement" and "sc." for "score".
In Genre, instrumental pieces are distinguished as orchestral and chamber music, particularly that for piano. The group of stage works contains operas, ballets and incidental music, while film scores are marked separately. Sacred and secular music for voice is divided in choral, for cantatas and motets, and vocal, holding songs and song cycles.

Graham Torrington (born 1960) is a British radio presenter and broadcaster.
Radio work
Romantica
After starting out as a hospital radio presenter, Torrington joined Birmingham's BRMB in the 1980s to cover an overnight programme for Steve Dennis. He was with the station for several years during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and through most of his tenure there presented a late night programme of love songs called Romantica. The show had previously been hosted by Charley Neal, who went on to become a weather presenter at Central Television. Torrington presented the programme on Saturdays for a while after Neal, but moved to host the station's lunchtime show in 1989, as well as a Sunday morning programme. Romantica was presented by Nick Hennigan for a while, but the show was relaunched with Torrington in 1990 and aired on Sunday evenings. Romantica used an instrumental version of Luther Vandross's Any Love as its opening theme tune. Torrington continued his weekday presenting, moving to the Drivetime show, then in 1992 he started hosting a late night show from Mondays to Thursdays. This programme contained a love songs strand titled The Love Zone. Torrington left the station in 1993 after its acquisition by the Capital Radio Group when he and several other presenters were axed by incoming managing director Richard Park. He later launched Kix 96 in Coventry.
Late Night Love

Shaimus
|
Shaimus was an alternative rock band that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 2004. The band made an appearance in the 2010 film The Roommate, which features the songs "Let Go" and "Tie You Down" and includes on-screen performances by Brousseau, Brown and Raassina as members of actor Cam Gigandet's fictional band. As of 2010, Shaimus resided in Los Angeles.
Background
Shaimus formed in November 2004 when all five original members attended Berklee College of Music. The band moved to Los Angeles, where they released two self-produced albums independently. Shaimus licensed their first album's music to MTV and signed a publishing deal with North Star Media in 2009, leading to song placements on TV shows such as One Tree Hill and the 2010 film The Roommate. They signed a "Friends" deal with MySpace Music the same year, which led to their music video for "Like a Fool" being featured on the front page of the MySpace Music site. In early 2009, original guitarist Dave Middleton quit the band. He was replaced by lead singer Phil Beaudreau's brother, Lou, a few months later.
Guitar Hero and Rock Band
Phil Beaudreau and Johannes Raassina worked in the QA department at video game developer Harmonix Music Systems while living in Boston.
Musical style
Stylistically, the band calls themselves alternative rock. The Portland Mercury compared Shaimus to Rooney, Ozma and Weezer, calling them a "melodic rock act" that was "too indie for the major labels, too commercial for the indies." Los Angeles blog Buzz Bands described them as "almost ridiculously competent," "largely irony-free", and "hookier than hell." In Rock Band 2, "Like a Fool" is categorized as indie rock.
The Roommate
Band members Cam Brousseau, Evan Brown, and Johannes Raassina filmed scenes for the Screen Gems film The Roommate in spring of 2009. In the film, Brousseau, Brown, and Raassina play members of actor Cam Gigandet's fictional on screen band. Since Gigandet played the drummer of the band and Beaudreau was unavailable to attend the shoot, Brousseau pretended to be the lead singer and keyboard player. The Shaimus songs "Tie You Down" and "Let Go" are featured in the film.
Appearances in media
The song "Slow Down" appeared on the Australian TV show Bill's Food.
The song "Tie You Down" appeared in the TV show Ruby & The Rockits.
The song "Left to Dry" appeared in the TV show One Tree Hill.
The songs "Tie You Down" and "Let Go" appeared in the film The Roommate. Band members Brousseau, Brown and Raassina appeared onscreen in the film.
The song "All of This" appeared in Guitar Hero.
The song "Like a Fool" appeared in Rock Band 2. "All of This" and "Tie You Down" were made available as downloadable content for Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Lego Rock Band on March 9, 2010.
