title: Baen Free Library

abstract: The Baen Free Library is a digital library of the science fiction and fantasy publishing house Baen Books where 61 e-books as of June 2016 can be downloaded free in a number of formats, without copy protection. It was founded in late 1999 by science fiction writer Eric Flint and publisher Jim Baen to determine whether the availability of books free of charge on the Internet encourages or discourages the sale of their paper books. The Baen Free Library represents an experiment in the field of intellectual property and copyright. It appears that sales of both the e-books made available free and other books by the same author, even from a different publisher, increase when the electronic version is made available free of charge. Baen Ebooks also sells individual e-books and a subscription-based e-book program. The books in the Free Library are available via the website for Baen Ebooks in various formats including HTML, Rich Text Format, and EPUB as well as unencrypted.mobi for Kindle.

## Baen CDs

In 2002, Baen also started adding CD-ROMs into some hardcovers of newest titles in successful series. They contain the complete series of novels preceding the printed book (for those books that were the latest in a series), other works by the same author, some works by other authors, and multimedia bonuses. The CD-ROMs have a prominent permissive copyright license which expressly encourages free-of-charge copying and sharing, including over the Internet.

Some of these CDs also contain MP3 audiobook versions. As of 2015 `CD 24` *Invasion* published in 2010 was the last promotional *Baen CD*.

\[\***\] Due to a number of their first-team being ineligible to play, Everton scratched to Rangers and played a friendly match instead, with Rangers winning 1-0

title: 1898–99 Stoke F.C. season

# 1898–99 Stoke F.C. season

The 1898–99 season was Stoke's tenth season in the Football League.

With automatic promotion and relegation now introduced thanks to Stoke and Burnley's antics last season, Stoke improved marginally as they took 12th place with 33 points. Stoke form was erratic throughout the season and with neither any hopes of mounting a title challenge or any relegation fears Stoke went on to enjoy their best performance so far in the FA Cup. They reached the semi-final of the competition for the first time losing 3–1 to eventual runners-up Derby County.

## Season review

### League

The 1898–99 season saw the introduction of automatic promotion and relegation between the First and Second Divisions of the Football League, and Stoke's fortunes improved marginally as they finished in 12th position. The season hardly started well when three players were suspended for a breach of club rules during pre-season training for drinking champagne. In August 1898 club secretary, former manager and goalkeeper Bill Rowley transferred himself to Leicester Fosse and even agreed his own signing on fee. This transaction caused uproar by the FA who suspended Rowley.

Stoke's form-rate in 1898–99 was erratic with only three wins coming in their opening 12 matches, five in the middle 12 and five in the last 10. The highlight was undoubtedly a convincing 3–0 victory over champions-to-be Aston Villa on New Year's Eve, while Burnley and Sheffield United were both beaten 4–1. At the end of the season club legend Joe Schofield decided to retire from playing after spending eight years with Stoke.

### FA Cup

Stoke reached the semi-finals of the competition for the first time after seeing off Sheffield Wednesday, Small Heath and Tottenham Hotspur. They succumbed to a 3–1 defeat to Derby County at neutral Molineux with Steve Bloomer scoring a fine hat-trick for the "Rams".

The Evening Sentinel commented: "Derby had their halves to thank for victory, Stoke were decidedly the better side in the first half and it was Derby's luck to get on level terms by means of a scrimmage which was produced by full-back Tom Robertson's miss kick. Stoke did most of the attacking again in the second half until Derby got the lead in an unexpected manner. Of course this put new life into Derby and very little seemed to go wrong with them afterwards although Stoke played up strongly. The weakness in their attack was the centre-forward Fred Molyneux. The Derby players were very vigorous and did not spare the Stoke team in bumping them about. Derby scored a third goal to put the contest beyond the brave Stoke players much to the disappointment of the Stoke spectators."

The Stoke players received a £5 bonus for their cup exploits and it would be another 72 years before the club reached the semi-final stage again.

# Anything Can Happen

***Anything Can Happen*** is a 1952 American comedy-drama film directed by George Seaton, starring José Ferrer and Kim Hunter.

José Ferrer stars as Giorgi Papashvily, who emigrates from Georgia in the Soviet Union to the United States and gradually becomes Americanized. Based on a 1945 best-selling biographical novel by Helen and George Papashvily, the film also stars Kim Hunter, fresh from her Oscar-winning turn in *A Streetcar Named Desire*.

## Plot

Papashvily is an immigrant who arrives for initial immigrant inspection on Ellis Island, and starts taking jobs on New York's bustling Lower East Side. His friend, Nuri (Kurt Kasznar), who had arrived in New York earlier and speaks English, leads the way, telling Giorgi that he'll help him get an outdoor job with plenty of fresh air. Instead, they find themselves carrying buckets and pouring hot tar on rooftops.

Giorgi, who didn't speak a word of English when he arrived, works diligently to learn the language, practicing troublesome consonants ("W" and "V") in the mirror. He also shares a house with fellow Georgians. Cited by the police with some of his fellow countrymen for picking flowers in Central Park, he refuses to pay the fine because he didn't pick the flowers (although he was present) and it would be wrong to admit to a crime he did not commit.

Appearing before the judge on principle, he explains what happened. The judge, taken by his honesty and obvious character, finds him not guilty after the arresting police officer admits that he didn't actually see Giorgi pick any flowers. The judge shakes Giorgi's hand, thanking him for brightening his courtroom.

Giorgi has also caught the eye of the pretty court reporter, Helen Watson (Kim Hunter), who is equally moved by Giorgi's simple but eloquent defense. She invites him over to her house because her hobby is recording folk music and she wants Giorgi to identify some music. It turns out that Giorgi has a pretty good voice as well. A fast but proper friendship develops between Helen and Giorgi.

Helen has also recorded another musician who turns out to be Georgi's "Uncle John" (Oscar Beregi, Sr.) a friend from the old country and now a chef in New York, who Giorgi has been looking for since his arrival. Giorgi moves into Uncle John's house which he shares with a colorful group of fellow Georgian emigres. Giorgi dreams of becoming a U.S. citizen and noticing the hints from Helen (she calls him "darling"), also dreams of marrying her. But he lacks a bit of self-confidence in the area of romance.

A few comic scenes ensue, notably one about an expanding loaf of dough, which Nuri understandably mispronounces as "duff" (i.e. "enough," "rough") There are further scenes of immigrant life. Just when Giorgi is about to reveal his feelings for Helen, at the behest of Uncle John, she announces that she needs to go to California to look after a sick aunt who raised her. She promises to be back shortly. She leaves Giorgi with a plant to take care of for her.

Weeks turn into months and Uncle John encourages Giorgi to go out to California. When he hesitates, Uncle John quits his job at the restaurant and announces he is going to California and asks Giorgi if he would like to come. Soon the whole household picks up and decamps to Southern California, where they connect with a reclusive fellow Georgian. Meanwhile, something appears to have changed with Helen, who has taken a job. Giorgi purchases a house and farm he can't afford and becomes an orange tree farmer.

He still hasn't asked Helen to marry him. She confesses to her bedridden aunt that she doesn't feel a cold chill down her back with Giorgi and doesn't want to marry anyone until she is sure. The aunt discourages Helen's romanticism, telling her that she can get that chill from a cold shower. A past romance is discussed, which apparently didn't end well. A frost comes and threatens to ruin the orange crop. Helen rushes out to the farm and orders everyone to stop standing around and to light fires to keep the crop warm. Giorgi, deeply moved, asks Helen to marry him. She immediately says yes. Nuri and his friends arrive in a car from New York and Giorgi reveals the news. Uncle John becomes ill and a judge gives him a citizenship test and he becomes a citizen, dying shortly thereafter.

## Cast

## Reception

Bosley Crowther of *The New York Times* panned the film, writing that Seaton had "borrowed and invented a series of episodes that are quaintly sentimental and romantic but they have the strong flavor of myth. Furthermore, they are strung together in such a loose and senseless way and are played with such calculated cuteness that the monotony of them palls." *Variety* called it "a heart-warming comedy, engagingly acted, slickly produced and directed." "A pleasant, heart-warming comedy drama," agreed *Harrison's Reports*. "Much of the picture's charm and warmth stems from the sympathetic characterizations, particularly that of Jose Ferrer, who does an outstanding job as the immigrant." John McCarten of *The New Yorker* called the film "somewhat superficial," adding, "There are funny scenes, and if broken English amuses you, you might find more of the film palatable than I did. However, I'm afraid things go entirely too sweetly for this immigrant to make for much suspense, and the accent José Ferrer uses in the role of the hero makes him sound more Chinese than Georgian."

*Anything Can Happen* won a Golden Globe Award for Promoting International Understanding.

# 1985 Spanish coup attempt

The **2 June 1985 coup d'état attempt** was a conspiracy planned by a group of military personnel to overthrow the Spanish government. The coup, which did not come to pass, would have been carried out in A Coruña during the Armed Forces Day military parade. The plan was thwarted by the CESID before any action was taken. The administration of Felipe González chose not to pursue prosecution against the organizers.

## The plan

The conspiracy was allegedly backed by high-ranking military officers. The goal was to create a power vacuum that would facilitate the intervention of the army in Spanish politics, thus causing democratic backsliding.

To this end, they planned on assassinating the then Prime Minister, President Felipe González; first Vice President Alfonso Guerra; Minister of Defense Narcís Serra; and the heads of the military high command, Admirals Ángel Liberal Lucini and Guillermo Salas Cardenal, and Lieutenant Generals José María Sáenz de Tejada and José Santos Peralba. The coup plotters also planned to kill King Juan Carlos I, Queen Sofía, and the Infantas Elena and Cristina.

These assassinations were to be carried out by detonating one or more bombs placed under the royal box during the Armed Forces Day military parade, which would be held on 2 June 1985 in the city of A Coruña. Also present at the event were the president of the Congress of Deputies, the president of the Senate, the president of the Constitutional Court, the president of the Supreme Court, and of the General Council of the Judiciary, as well as other members of the government of Felipe González.

The organizers involved in the plot had planned to rent a building with a basement next to the balcony where the targets would be seated and dig a tunnel in which they would place more than 100 kilos of powerful explosives. These would have been provided by an employee of a construction company, since the use of explosive material coming from the armed forces would have uncovered the military conspiracy. The group intended to frame ETA for the attack.

## The stifling

The attempt was aborted during Holy Week 1985 by the organizers themselves. However, no one was arrested or tried, and the matter remained hidden from public opinion for more than 15 years. The CESID made it known to the conspirators that they were under close surveillance, after which they decided to halt their plans.

Suspicious visits among the military members, some of whom were in prison, and the collaboration of one of the conspirators with intelligence services helped to detect and stop the coup.

## Consequences

None of the organizers, including those who were on active duty, were prosecuted. Sources within the first González administration claim that the conspirators were very few and that they were under surveillance and control, so they did not pose any risk. Likewise, they did not have the leadership capacity to lead the country in the event the coup would have been successful, and they did not have a plan to install a government.

The government decided to limit its course of action and conceal the matter rather than pursue action against the organizers. This decision was motivated by concerns about the fragile state of Spanish democracy. Spain was months from entering into the European Communities, and did not wish to jeopardize that alliance. In addition, the government did not want to provide the far right with more martyrs than those who were already in prison.

In 1997, Felipe González made a statement in which he revealed the attempted coup. To date, it is the last known military conspiracy in Spain.

title: Emperor Konoe

abstract: Emperor Konoe was the 76th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Konoe's reign spanned the years from 1142 through 1155.

# Emperor Konoe

**Emperor Konoe** (近衛天皇, *Konoe-tennō*, June 16, 1139 – August 22, 1155) was the 76th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.

Konoe's reign spanned the years from 1142 through 1155.

## Genealogy

Before his ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name (his *imina*) was Narihito*-shinnō* (体仁親王). He was also known as Tosihito*-shinnō*.

Emperor Konoe was the eighth son of Emperor Toba. His mother was Fujiwara no Nariko (1117–1160), the wife of Emperor Toba.

## Events of Konoe's life

Konoe was named heir shortly after he was born in 1139; and he was proclaimed emperor at the age of 3.

* ***Eiji 1***, in the 3rd month (1141): The former emperor Toba accepted the tonsure and became a Buddhist monk at the age of 39 years.
* ***Eiji 1***, on the 7th day of the 12th month (永治元年; 1141): In the 18th year of Sutoku*-tennō'*s reign (崇徳天皇十八年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (*senso*) was received by a younger brother, the 8th son of former Emperor Toba. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Konoe is said to have acceded to the throne (*sokui*).

At that time, the *Kampaku* Fujiwara-no Tadamichi became *Sesshō* or regent. The Cloistered Emperor Toba continued to direct all the affairs of government, while the retired Emperor Sutoku had no powers. This conflict resulted in many controversies during Konoe's reign.

* ***Kōji 2***, in the 1st month (1143): Cloistered Emperor Toba-in, now known by the title *Daijō Hōō* or *Hōō* (太上法皇), visited his mother.
* ***Kōji 2***, in the 5th month (1143): Konoe passed his days praying at Tōdai-ji and also at the temples on Mount Hiei.
* ***Ten'yō gannen*** or ***Ten'yō 1***, in the 7th month (1145): A comet was sighted in the sky; and for this reason, the name of the *nengō* was changed to *Kyūan*.
* ***Kyūan 1***, in the 8th month (1145): The mother of former Emperor Sutoku (also known as *"Taikenmon-In"*) died.
* ***Kyūan 2***, in the 2nd month (1146), Konoe visited Toba-no*-Hōō*.
* ***Kyūan 2***, in the 12th month (1146), Konoe joined in a celebration honoring *Sesshō* Fujiwara no Tadamichi (the regent) on his 58th birthday. This event was important because, in each sexagenary cycle, the first and the fifty-eighth years were considered to be auspicious according to Chinese astrological principles.
* ***Kyūan 4***, in the 6th month (1148): The imperial palace was consumed by flames.
* ***Kyūan 6***, in the 1st month (1150): Konoe assumed the role of a mature adult; and he married Fujiwara-no Tokoku, who had been raised by *Sadaijin* Yorinaga. Tokoku was the daughter of *Dainagon* Taira-no Kiyomori. This bride became *Kōkōgō* (皇皇后) or first empress.
* ***Kyūan 6***, in the 3rd month (1150): Konoe married again, this time to "Feï-si," who had been raised by *Sesshō* Fujiwara-no Tadamichi. She was the daughter of *Dainagon* Fujiwara-no Koremichi. This bride became *Chūgū* (中宮) or second empress. Konoe was so very much enamoured of this second wife that he neglected his first wife, which caused discord in the *kugyō,* especially between Tadamichi and Yorinaga.
* ***Kyūan 6***, in the 12th month (1150): *Sesshō* Minamoto-no Tadamichi, resigns his position and is named *Daijō Daijin*. In this same month, Minamoto-no Yoshikane became head of the Ashikaga clan in Shimotsuke Province.
* ***Ninpei 1***, in the 1st month (1151): *Sadaijin* Yorinaga was given additional power as *"Naï-ken,"* which gave him the duty and opportunity of reading formal written requests before they should be presented to the emperor. This had been amongst the powers of the *Sesshō* or the *Kampaku.* Factions in the court who favored Yorinaga tended to dislike Tadamichi, and they employed any means possible to help elevate Yorinaga's position. However, Yorinaga himself was generally disliked because of his capricious character. His tactics and strategy for enhancing his own prestige were focused primarily on diminishing Tadamichi's role in the court.
* ***Ninpei 2***, on the 7th day of the 3rd month (1152): Konoe visited the home of Toba-no*-Hōō* to celebrate his father's 50th birthday; and the emperor stayed until the next day, amusing himself with dances and with listening to musical performances.
* ***Ninpei 3***, on the 2nd day of the 1st month (1153): Konoe visited his father's home; and in the same month Taira-no Tadamori, the head of the criminal tribunal, died; and this position was soon filed by his son, Taira-no Kiyomori.
* ***Kyūju gannen*** or ***Kyūju 1***, in the 5th month (1154): *Udaijin* Minamoto-no Masasada retired from public life to become a priest at age 61. He died several years later.
* ***Kyūju gannen*** or ***Kyūju 1***, in the 8th month (1154): Fujiwara-no Saneyoshi, Grand General of the Right, was elevated to the role of Grand General of the Left; and the former *Dainagon* Fujiwara-no Kanenaga (aged 17) was elevated to take on the newly vacated role of Grand General of the Right.
* ***Kyūju 2***, on the 23rd day of the 7th month (1155): Emperor Konoe died at the age of 17 years without leaving any heirs.
* ***Kyūju 2***, on the 24th day of the 7th month (大同元年; 1155): In the 14th year of Konoe*-tennō'*s reign (近衛天皇14年), the emperor died; and despite an ensuring dispute over who should follow him as sovereign, contemporary scholars then construed that the succession (*enso*) was received by a younger brother, the 14th son of former-Emperor Toba. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is said to have acceded to the throne (*sokui*).

During Konoe's reign, the Enshō (Superiority of Duration) Temple. After this, successive emperors no longer build Imperial-prayer temples.

Emperor Konoe's reign lasted for 13 years: 2 years in the *nengō* *Kōji,* 1 year in *Ten'yō,* 6 years in *Kyūan,*  3 years in *Ninpei,* and 2 years in *Kyūju*.

### *Kugyō*

*Kugyō* (公卿) is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras.

In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Konoe's reign, this apex of the *Daijō-kan* included:

# Edmund George Lind

**Edmund George Lind** (June 18, 1829 – 1909) was an English-born American architect, active in Baltimore, Atlanta, and the American south.

## Biography

Lind was born in Islington, now a part of London, England; his father, Alexander Lind, was an engraver who had fought on the British side as a Loyalist at the Battle of Bunker Hill outside Charlestown, Massachusetts near Boston in 1775. When he was young, the family moved to Birmingham, England, where drawing and painting became his favorite amusements. After an attempt at studying law, he studied architecture at the London School of Design, then worked for several years in various architects' offices in London.

In 1855 Lind emigrated to New York City where he found employment as chief draftsman and assisting Norris G. Starkweather, designer of the brownstone Gothic-style, fourth structure for the First Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, which was finally completed with the tallest spire in the city in 1875, (first three structures from colonial times in downtown area at northwest corner of East Fayette and North Streets (now Guilford Avenue), sold the site after the Georgian/Federal-era twin-spired church from 1795, was razed to the Federal Government for a new U. S. Courthouse, built 1859-60); and then moved to more residential and up-scale, tomey, Victorian-era Mount Vernon-Belvedere neighborhood, just north of central business district at West Madison Street and Park Avenue). Lind moved to Baltimore to supervise its construction, but in 1856, left Starkweather's office to partner with William T. Murdoch, with whom he was associated with until about 1860. He married his partner's cousin, Margaret Murdoch.

In the late 1850s, Lind & Murdoch were selected to design the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, on behalf of financier George Peabody, who although born and raised in Massachusetts, spent a great deal of business time in New York City and London, had special regard for the city of Baltimore. Its original wing facing the 1815-1829 Washington Monument on the west side bordering Washington Place, which is also North Charles Street was begun in 1858, completed in 1861, and dedicated in 1866 in Peabody's presence, containing Peabody Hall (now Friedberg Concert Hall), conservatory rooms, and a picture gallery. In 1875, its east wing was begun along intersecting Mount Vernon Place (which is also East Monument Street), and in 1878, was finished under Lind's supervision. Its most impressive feature is its large central reading room, rising to the full height of the building under a skylight, with six stories of alcoves with wrought-iron work giving room for 300,000 volumes, and a checker board floor of alternating black and white marble slabs. Other examples of Lind's Baltimore work include the Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church at Bolton Street and Lafayette Avenue in the Bolton Hill neighborhood of northwest Baltimore, a church at the southwest corner of Dolphin and Etting streets, and the monument to Capt. John Gleason, of the 5th Maryland Infantry, in Cathedral Cemetery. He is also thought to have designed the English Tudor, Gothic-style building at North Howard and West Centre Streets for the Baltimore City College, the first of two on the site in 1875. The City College (formerly Central High School of Baltimore), an all-male public high school, was founded on Courtland Street (now St. Paul Street/Place and Preston Gardens), near East Saratoga Street in 1839, is the third oldest public high school in America. It was formerly located since 1843 in the old "Assembly Rooms" (a social dancing hall and place for society ladies and gentlemen for dinners, soirees, receptions and events), originally constructed in 1797 by Robert Cary Long, Sr. and also contained space for the first paid-membership and subscription Library Company of Baltimore at the northeast corner of Holliday and East Fayette Streets, until it burned along with the famous neighboring Holliday Street Theatre in a massive fire in 1873. Lind's first building was the first structure to be erected specifically for the use of the high school in its history. It collapsed in 1892, when the Howard Street Tunnel was being dug and constructed beneath from Camden Street Station in the south to the new Mount Royal Station in the north for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad through the downtown business district. It was replaced by 1895 by a second structure for BCC, designed by the architect partnership Baldwin & Pennington, which is still there today (2013), although now renovated since 1980 for apartments and condos, known as "Chesapeake Commons".

In 1882 Lind transferred his practice to Atlanta, Georgia, where for a decade he designed mansions, factories, libraries, courthouses, hotels, Masonic lodges, commercial buildings, textile mill housing, and churches in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. His finest building in these years was the Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta (1884). He also designed the Gwinnett County Courthouse in Lawrenceville, Georgia; the Mary Willis Library in Washington, Georgia; and the Milton Candler House in Decatur, Georgia; as well as a combined market and city hall for Guayaquil, Ecuador. Following the severe economic depression of 1893, Lind retired to Baltimore where he continued to practice on a limited basis. He died in 1909.

He completed several works in North Carolina.

During his career, Lind was active in both national and professional roles. He served as assistant supervising architect for the United States during the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant. He became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1857, and a Fellow in 1870. Lind was a founding member of the Baltimore Chapter of the AIA in 1870 and he also served as president in 1871, and also from 1876 to 1882. He also served as vice president of the national AIA organization on two occasions. His interests extended beyond architecture. In 1894 he wrote an essay on the relationship between music and color, and transposed *"Yankee Doodle"*, *"The Star-Spangled Banner"*, and a number of other popular songs from music into color. He also investigated the importance of the number seven in acoustics and architecture, based on the seven colors of the rainbow and the seven sounds of the diatonic scale.

A number of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, maintained by the United States Department of the Interior.

# EduCap

**EduCap** is an American private non-profit education finance company that was established in 1987. The Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation is the philanthropic affiliate of EduCap Inc.

## History

From the 1980s, increasing college tuition costs created demand for more funding than could be provided by federal aid programs.

In 1987, Father John Whalen, a Catholic priest, founded a non-profit loan program to provide private funding for college students in the District of Columbia who did not qualify for government financial aid. In 1988, Catherine B. Reynolds joined the foundation as comptroller, and renamed the foundation EduCap. Catherine Reynolds soon became President of the student loan company. EduCap was insolvent when Reynolds was hired, but, as reported by *The Washington Post*, she established a nationwide private education loan program and established a for-profit affiliate, Servus Financial. It became the first education loan company to securitize credit-based private loans on Wall Street, was the first to market private student loan programs directly to consumers, and was the first to provide access to education financing as an employee benefit for corporations.

In March 2000, Servus Financial was sold to Wells Fargo Bank. In seven years, the foundation’s initial investment of $60,000 became worth several hundred million dollars. Servus Financial had provided 350,000 private student loans.

## Operations

### Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation

The Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation is a United States-based non-profit organization that was established in 2001. The foundation was financed by the sale of Servus Financial Corporation, which was chaired by Catherine B. Reynolds.

In 2007, the Foundation funded The Museum of the Rockies' excavation of one of its most famous Tyrannosaurus rex fossils and named her Catherine, after Catherine Reynolds, when they discovered it was a female dinosaur.

#### Catherine B. Reynolds

Catherine B. Reynolds was selected by Businessweek magazine as one of the 50 most philanthropic living Americans.

Reynolds currently serves on the boards of General Dynamics Corporation and Lindblad Expeditions, LLC, and VitaKey Inc. In 2019, Reynolds was selected by the Secretary of the Navy as the sponsor of the USS Jack H. Lucas, the first Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. In April 2020, President Donald J. Trump appointed Catherine Reynolds to serve on the Great American Economic Revival Industry Group. In October 2023, Catherine B. Reynolds was named one of the "Most Powerful Women in Washington" by Washingtonian magazine.

## Criticism

In 2003, the CBS program *60 Minutes* reported that Reynolds withdrew a donation of $38 million from the Smithsonian Institution following criticism of a proposal for a Hall of Achievement exhibition. Her foundation instead pledged$100 million to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

# EduBirdie

**EduBirdie** is a professional essay writing service and academic aid platform that offers paid ghostwriting, essay services, proofreading, and plagiarism checking services.

## History

EduBirdie was founded in 2015 by Plan B Services LLC registered under US Law. Besides the international version aimed at the US market, the platform is available in its local variations in the UK and Canada.

Client engagement is estimated at over 500,000 users per month.

EduBirdie is also an employer to college students, offering post-college jobs and ambassador programs for current students.

In 2019, EduBirdie started to operate under a new owner, I3 Technology Ltd to bring the company a new business model. Later that year, EduBirdie partnered with CHADD and donated from every order to help children with ADHD syndrome.

After numerous spelling-related accusations on Twitter, EduBirdie offered to proofread Donald Trump's tweets free of charge to prevent grammatical mistakes.

In 2019, EduBirdie unveiled EduBirdie.com, a service that provides professional support for brides, grooms, and wedding party members writing vows and speeches.

In 2021, EduBirdie started to operate under a new owner, RADIOPLUS EXPERTS Ltd.

During the summer of 2022, EduBirdie launched the Destination Reviewers project. The campaign aimed to attract students who'd share their honest experiences and real feedback on specific places to go and why.

In December 2022, EduBirdie opened the Christmas Moodcatcher position. The purpose was to look for people who would help others catch the spirit of Christmas in a fist and, more importantly, keep it as long as possible.

In spring 2023, together with the Lady Pink team, EduBirdie initiated a notable project to address Academic Burnout and support students facing this widespread challenge with bright graffiti.

In autumn 2023, EduBirdie made considerable research showing that 16% of new graduates spend at least six months to find a job.

During November-December 2023, EduBirdie surveyed 2,000 young people in the US on how social media has shaped their career choices and affected their professional lives. The results showed that as much as social media can help young people to succeed, it can also hinder their future if misused.

## Work process

### Structure

EduBirdie connects users with writers through an auction process, where writers bid on the proposals available. Unlike the majority of freelance platforms, each writer is chosen and hired directly by the company through an internal multi-step process:

* Registration;

One of the company's work areas is the development of free tools for different types of students. They include:

* Plagiarism Checker;

* Complex correction tool (currently in beta);
* Paraphrasing Tool;
* Words to Minutes, Words to Pages and Case Converters;

* Alphabetizer;
* GPA Calculator;
* Essay Rewriter.

## Reception

### Exam Cheating Controversy

In 2018, EduBirdie promoted itself through social media influencers and YouTubers which led to an investigation conducted by BBC that resulted in thousands of videos being removed from YouTube which were promoting EduBirdie and cheating. It was done over an academic aid policy of YouTube where students pay to get help in academic related tasks which is considered as cheating. As per BBC those videos earned a total of 700 million views and almost 250 channels who were promoting homework cheating.

In response to the BBC, a company representative claims that EduBirdie "does not tolerate plagiarism" and is a legal service.

In 2020, EdSurge reported that EduBirdie is part of a new larger industry of contract cheaters, where sites like EduBirdie connect clients with freelance writers for cheating activities.

### Researches

* In 2019, EduBirdie offered to proofread President Trump's tweets, free of charge, over grammatical mistakes in his Tweets.
* Hangover Test (U.S. National Beer Day on April 7, 2021). The study aims to figure out which brands of beer have the smallest impact on a person's productivity the morning after a big night out. They're looking to recruit 28–40 participants to drink the 15 most popular American beer brands and then see what they're capable of the following day, while hungover.
* How Gen-Z Is Spending Their Time While Quarantined. Gen-Z is trying to do their part by staying home and social-distancing to help slow the spread of COVID-19. However, not leaving the house day after day can get boring. EduBirdie staff surveyed their users to find out what exactly the younger generation is doing to occupy their time.
* United States cheating patterns. Global research has revealed nationwide study patterns, uncovering that English is the country's most cheated on subject. A new study, conducted by EduBirdie, analyzes the topics of essays written by external authors for students to turn in as their own during university and college courses.

As a result, it was shown that Leos are most likely to cheat on their partner (36% of the respondents), while Virgos are the most loyal (only 6% of cheaters).
* EduBirdie analysed over 500,000 words in essays submitted for editing to find out which words are most commonly misspelled in student essays.
* Studying Songs Research. By analyzing 500,000 songs in playlists tagged for studying, EduBirdieEduBirdie found out which songs and artists are the most suitable for studying.
* EduBirdie analyzed current ruling monarchs and their families to find out which universities are the most famous among royalty. The study showed that the University of Oxford has the biggest number of still living graduates from royal families.

# Edgar Norton

**Edgar Norton** (born **Harry Edgar Mills;** August 11, 1868 – February 6, 1953) was an English-born American character actor.

## Early years

Norton was born in Islington in London, England, on August 11, 1868, as **Harry Edgar Mills**, one of eight children of Jane Anne *née* Fleming and Frederic Mills, a clerk in the Home Office department of the Civil Service.

## Career

Norton was active on both stage and screen, his theater performances were on both the London and Broadway stages, and his film career spanned both the silent and "talkie" eras in Hollywood. Aged 18, he appeared as the Hare in the original production of *Alice in Wonderland* in London in 1886, with the production being under the guidance of Lewis Carroll, who saw the musical five times.

During his thirty-year film career, he appeared in at least ninety films. Many consider his most memorable role to be that of Poole, the butler to Dr. Jekyll in the 1931 classic, *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde*— a role he had been playing on-stage since 1898, opposite Richard Mansfield as Jekyll.

## Personal life and death

Norton moved permanently to the United States in 1889, and was naturalised as an American citizen in 1927. He married his Detroit-born wife Lillian Mable *née* Hubbard in Ontario in Canada in 1890, and with her had a son, Edgar Norton Mills.

He died in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles in February 1953.

# 1935 Taiwanese local elections

Local elections were held for the first time in Taiwan by the Japanese colonial government on 22 November 1935, electing half of the city and township councillors. The other half were appointed by the prefectural governors.

Only men aged 25 and above and who had paid a tax of five yen or more a year were allowed to vote, which was only 28,000 out of the 4 million population. The turnout rate was 95%.

## Background

Before 1935, all of the city councilors were appointed by the Japanese colonial government. Since 1921, many Taiwanese political groups, including the Taiwanese People's Party led by Chiang Wei-shui and the Taiwanese Alliance for Home Rule led by Lin Hsien-tang, asked for a Taiwanese council. The Japanese government did not accept, but held city council elections instead as a compromise.
