# Bachelor Kisses

"**Bachelor Kisses**" is a song by the Australian alternative rock band The Go-Betweens that was released as the second single from their third album *Spring Hill Fair* in 1984. The single was issued in the UK and Australia on Sire Records. "Bachelor Kisses" was the Go-Betweens' first real attempt at a commercial single.

## History

Robert Forster later said of the song, "Grant wrote this. It sounded like a pop song right from the word go. He was a very, very melodic songwriter. "Bachelor Kisses" was just something that rolled off and felt very natural and beautiful. It's amazing." McLennan said, "I'm sorry if it sounds a courtly song but it's not about that. I see a lot of infidelity around me most people involved in music are guilty of it in many cases. I see a lot of trust, promises being broken – I'm guilty of it myself. It's about all the promises the world of men have made women as far as the future of their lives, security, the raising of children, and I've found it wanting. Not a unique thought."

Originally recorded with John Brand with the other songs on *Spring Hill Fair*, the song was re-recorded with producers Colin Fairley and Robert Andrews for the single release at the insistence of the record label. Forster complained of, "new producers, more days on the bass drum, and a version of the song of no great variance to the Miraval take." The song features backing vocalists from Ana da Silva, the lead singer for British post-punk band The Raincoats.

The single and the album failed to chart in the UK or Australia resulting in the band being dropped by Sire Records. "Bachelor Kisses" was however voted in at No. 72 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 1989

Sire paid for a promotional video, featuring the band miming mixed with beach scenes. Forster said, "the black-and-white stuff of the band playing is actually very, very good. Then we shot some stuff, down at Brighton, of the water and stuff. They can print up colours. And they just went mad."

## Reception

> We came back from Christmas in New York having lost our record company \[Rough Trade\] somewhere along the way. I wrote this in immigration having been refused entry to the United Kingdom. The first person who heard the song was my sister. She said that Marianne Faithfull should sing it.
>
> Grant McLennan

In a review of the song on Allmusic, Ned Raggett, comments that such a comparison is both worthwhile and not misplaced. He goes on to state that the song "has the rich, world-weary beauty one might expect from that singer in her 1980s work, but the song is very much a Go-Betweens song through and through. There's the same gentle but clear tension in the rhythm section, the crystalline but never overbearing guitar, the sense of deeper roots but a clearly modern performance"

In Mat Snow's review in the October, 1984 edition of NME he states "Only when we're confronted with a song so perfectly turned, lines so finely balanced and a melody so achingly sweet as Bachelor Kisses are we forced to notice how hollow most contemporary pop rings." Elsewhere in NME, Biba Kopf called the song, "an affecting male rejoinder to "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend".

title: Fiachra mac Colmain

abstract: Saint Fiachra was the Bishop of Armagh, Ireland from 548 to 558.

text:
# Fiachra mac Colmain

**Saint Fiachra** (also called Fíachrach meic Colmáin; c.500 – 25 July 558) was the Bishop of Armagh, Ireland from 548 to 558.

## Genealogy and birth

Saint Fiachra was a descendant of Muiredach Colla Fo Chrí, one of The Three Collas. His genealogy is "*Fiachra m Colmain m Eoghain m Baodáin m Oilella m Suibhne m Maoileduin m Fionain m Oilella m Muireadhaig meith m Iomchadha m Colla da crioch*", which is also confirmed in the Naemsenchus Náemh nÉrenn as "*Sil na cColla. 94. Fiacra mac Colmain do siol Colla-Da-Croich coir do reir eolach ni heccóir*" His mother was an embroideress. Fiachra was born c. 500 AD in Enach Senmáil (The Marsh of the Ancient Prince).

## Bishop of Armagh

On the death of Dubthach the Second, also called Duach II, the Bishop of Armagh, in 548, Saint Fiachra was appointed as the 10th successor to Saint Patrick. He reigned as Bishop for 10 years. In the old text *Suidigud Tellaig Temra* (The Settling of the Manor of Tara), the nobles of Ireland are attempting to partition Tara and they send for Fiachra as follows- "*The nobles of Ireland were then summoned to the feast to the house of Tara by Diarmait son of Cerball. And they said that they would not partake of the feast of Tara until the settling of the manor of Tara was determined, how it was before their day and how it would be after them for all time, and they delivered that answer to Diarmait. And Diarmait replied that it was not right to ask him to partition the manor of Tara without taking counsel of Flann Febla son of Scannlan son of Fingen, that is, the head of Ireland and the successor of Patrick, or of Fiachra son of the embroideress. Messengers were accordingly dispatched to Fiachra son of Colman son of Eogan, and he was brought unto them to help them, for few were their learned men, and many were their unlearned, and numerous their contentions and their problems. Then Fiachra arrived, and they asked the same thing of him, namely to partition for them the manor of Tara. And he answered them that he would not give a decision on that matter until they should send for one wiser and older than himself. ‘Where is he?’ said they. ‘No hard matter that,’ said he, ‘even Cennfaelad son of Ailill son of Muiredach son of Eogan son of Niall. It is from his head,’ said he, ‘that the brain of forgetfulness was removed at the battle of Magh Rath, that is to say, he remembers all that he heard on the history of Ireland from that time down to the present day. It is right that he should come to decide for you.*"

There has been considerable confusion generated for centuries among scholars by the following entries in the Irish Annals-

* Annals of the Four Masters 550- "*David, son of Guaire Ua Forannain, Bishop of Ard-Macha and Legate of all Ireland, died.*"
* Annals of Ulster 551- "*Repose of Dáuíd of Farannán, son of Guaire descendant of Farannán, bishop of Ard Macha and legate of all Ireland.*"
* Annals of Ulster 553- "*Or here, the repose of Dáuíd; bishop of Ard Macha and legate*"

All the oldest lists (contained in the Book of Leinster, Psalter of Cashel, Yellow Book of Lecan and An Leabhar Breac), make Fiachra the successor of Duach and have no mention of aforesaid David mac Guaire. There are four possible explanations for the above annalistic entries on David macGuaire.

1. That he was in reality the same person as Duach II, the successor of Patrick who died in 548. This option was mooted by Professor James Carney who stated "*This David is obviously identical (although the annals do not recognize the fact) with the Duach (or rather Daui) who died in 548 (Dauid is apparently a Latinisation of O.I. Daui). The obit of David Farannan, together with the statement that he was legatus, has apparently come into the annals from some unknown and rather late source*". The objection to this view is that there already exists prior entries in the annals relating to Duach II. Annals of Ulster 548- "*Dubthach or Duach, of the seed of Colla Uais, abbot of Ard Macha, rested.*" Annals of the Four Masters 547- "*St. Dubhthach, Abbot of Ard-Macha, died. He was of the race of Colla Uais*". Furthermore, the Book of Leinster list states Duach was a member of the Úi Tuirtri clan, whereas David was a member of the Úi Farannán clan. Also Duach is described only as an abbot while David is described only as a bishop.

2. The second possible explanation is that David and Fiachra was the same person. This option was proposed by John Colgan who felt that Fiachra was his tribal name rather than his Christian name because Úi Farannán was the family name of the herenachs of Ardstraw, County Tyrone while the surrounding tribe was called the Úi Fiachrach of Arda Stratha (e.g. the entry in the Annals of the Four Masters for 949 AD- "*Guaire Ua Forannain, airchinneach of Ard-stratha,\[died*\]"). The objections to this view are firstly that David died in 551 while Fiachra died in 558 and secondly that David's father was Guaire while Fiachra's father was Colman.

3. The next possible explanation is that David succeeded Duach II in 548 and died three years later in 551. This option is accepted by Cotton and by Ware. As none of the early succession lists mention David then this is unlikely.

4. The fourth and likeliest explanation is that David and Fiachra did live at the same time but that only Fiachra was the Coarb or recognized successor of St. Patrick. At that time there were two separate chief ecclesiastical offices in Armagh, the abbot and the bishop. Sometimes the posts were held by different men and sometimes the same man held both titles. It was not necessary for Patrick's successor to be both abbot and bishop, he could hold either post. This is the only explanation that gets over the objections raised above, i.e. Fiachra was the abbot of Armagh (as described in the Annals from the Book of Leinster) and Coarb in succession to St. Patrick (as described in the early succession lists of Armagh), while David macGuaire was the bishop of Armagh until his death in 551 AD (as described in the Annals of Ulster and the Four Masters) but he was not successor or Coarb of St. Patrick. There is no conflict here as nowhere is David described as either an abbot or successor to St. Patrick and nowhere is Fiachra described as a bishop.

## Death

Saint Fiachra died on 25 July 558 AD. The only mention of his obit in the Irish Annals is in the "*Annals from the Book of Leinster*" which state "*Fiachra, abbot of Armagh*" died during the reign of the High King Diarmait mac Cerbaill, who died in 565.

## Feast day

After his death, Fiachra was venerated as a saint and his feast was celebrated on 25 July, the day of his death. The Calendars of the Saints have the following entries-

* Martyrology of Gorman 25 July- "*Two Fiachras, the white-great ones*"
* Martyrology of Donegal 25 July- "*Another Fiachra. There is a Fiachra, son of Colman, son of Eoghan, of the race of Colla-da-chrioch.*"

# Anne Virginia Culbertson

**Anne Virginia Culbertson** (November 16, 1857 – December 7, 1918) was an American writer, known chiefly as the author of dialect poems, and as a public reader of her own productions. Culbertson attempted numerous dialects; however, her work was not confined to dialect alone; she also wrote a good deal of serious verse. Others writings included occasional short stories and articles to various publications including the *Cosmopolitan*, *Munsey's*, *Pearson's*, the *Puritan*, *Outing*, *Dixie*, the *Ladies' Home Journal*, and prominent newspapers, such as the *Boston Transcript*, *The Washington Post*, and *The Baltimore Sun*.

## Early life and education

Anne Virginia Culbertson was born in Zanesville, Ohio, November 16, 1857. She came from a family prominently identified with Ohio. Her grandfather, the Rev. James Culbertson, came from Pennsylvania to Zanesville in the early part of the nineteenth century and for 30 years was recognized as an eminent and scholarly divine in this section. He was popularly known all over the state as "Parson Culbertson". Her father, Capt. Howard Culbertson, M.D. (1828–1890), was a surgeon who served through the Revolutionary War and afterward in the regular army. On his retirement, he became a noted specialist in diseases of the eye and at one time occupied the chair of ophthalmology in Columbus Medical College. Her father being a military man, Anne's childhood was spent in going from one military post to another. Her mother, Louisa Maria (Safford) (1836–1885), was a Southener, hence Anne's interest in Southern dialects. Anne had several siblings including Herbert, Ernest, Sydney, Lewis, Cornelia, and Claude.

Culbertson was educated in the common schools and Putnam Female Seminary, Zanesville, Ohio. Later, she studied in Washington.

## Career

Since completing her education, Culbertson passed much of her time in eastern cities and in the "back districts" of North Carolina, Virginia, and other states, where she studied the lives and folklore of the African Americans, poor whites, and Native Americans at first hand. She spent a summer in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina in order to study the folklore of the Native Americans in that specific locale.

Since 1893, Culbertson was engaged as a writer and author-reader, giving entertainments in which she read her own writings and poems and dialect songs. She contributed to magazines and papers in verse and dialect stories chiefly in the *negro* dialect and dialect of mountain people of the South and French patois.

Culbertson was the author of *Lays of a Wandering Minstrel* (1896), *At the Big House* (1904), and *Banjo Talks* (Indianapolis, Indiana, Bobbs, Merrill Co., 1905), the latter being a popular book of dialect verse.

Some of her best poems were unpublished and were written during World War I. She belonged to The Vigilantes, a national society of poets and writers, formed during the World War to write patriotic articles and poems to stimulate patriotism. A number of these patriotic poems were published in newspapers and magazines and reprints sent to the sick and wounded soldiers in the U.S. and Europe.

She was honored by being invited to make a contribution to the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the invitation being extended through M. Rene Larvelle, a member of the Société des gens de lettres of France and a collector of note.

She also enjoyed a wide reputation as an impersonator and was very successful as an elocutionist in parlor lectures.

## Personal life

She numbered among her friends such great writers as Joel Chandler Harris, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and James Whitcomb Riley.

Anne Virginia Culbertson died in Delaware, Ohio, December 7, 1918.

title: 1935 Alberta general election

abstract: The 1935 Alberta general election was held on August 22, 1935, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The newly founded Social Credit Party of Alberta won a sweeping victory, unseating the 14-year government of the United Farmers of Alberta. It was one of only five times that Alberta has changed governments. Premier John E. Brownlee had resigned on July 10, 1934, when he was sued and found liable for the seduction of a young clerk working in the Attorney-General's office. Although the verdict was immediately set aside by the presiding judge, the scandal seriously damaged the UFA's reputation among socially conservative Albertans. Provincial Treasurer Richard G. Reid succeeded him, but was unable to change the party's fortunes. The government had fallen into disfavour as it had proven unable to address the Depression, which had hit Alberta particularly hard, and due to the government's unwillingness to accede to demands to adopt Social Credit policies and programs. Social Credit won 56 of the 63 seats in the legislature, and over 50% of the popular vote, well beyond even the most optimistic Socred projections. Many of those gains came at the expense of the UFA, which lost all of its seats in one of the worst defeats ever suffered by a provincial government in Canada. Reid and Brownlee, for instance, were heavily defeated by Socred challengers, with Reid being pushed into third place. The UFA did receive 11 percent of the vote so its due share was about ten members - the province's limited use of PR did not ensure that it won any seats at all. The UFA's wipeout happened just a month after the Prince Edward Island Tories lost all 18 of their seats at that year's provincial election. A similar wipeout would not happen again until the 1987 New Brunswick general election, when the governing New Brunswick Tories lost all 39 of their seats. The Alberta Liberals in this election ran with the tactically fatal slogan, the "rest of Canada can't be wrong"—referring to the popularity of the Liberal Party in the rest of the country. It did not work; they had their seat count cut in half. However, due to the UFA being swept from the legislature, the Liberals wound up as the Official Opposition. The Conservatives lost four of their six seats. The Socreds' expectations for the election had been so low that they had not even named a formal leader for the campaign. When the newly elected Socred MLAs held their first caucus meeting, the first order of business was to select a leader and premier-designate. The obvious choice was the party's founder and guiding force, Calgary-based Baptist pastor William Aberhart. Persuaded to accept the mantle of leadership, Aberhart was sworn in as premier on September 3. This provincial election, like the previous two, saw district-level proportional representation used to elect the MLAs of Edmonton and Calgary. City-wide districts were used to elect multiple MLAs in the cities. All the other MLAs were elected in single-member districts through Instant-runoff voting. The turnout of the 1935 election topped 80%, and no election in Alberta has come close to this mark. This election campaign is seen as the most negative in Alberta's history, with reports of Social Credit members, operating openly and on Aberhart's directives, defacing the campaign signs of opponents and drowning their speeches by honking car horns. Many campaign ads also focused mostly on attacking the opposing parties. After the 1935 election results were in, newspapers across North America took notice, with the Boston Herald running the headline "Alberta Goes Crazy!". This shift marked the first in Social Credit's nine consecutive election victories, for a total of 36 years in office–one of the longest unbroken runs in government in the Commonwealth. The UFA never recovered from this wipeout defeat, withdrawing from politics altogether in 1937. Many of UFA's erstwhile supporters shifted to supporting the CCF, whose full name "CCF (Farmer-Labour-Socialist)" indicates how it was a merging of UFA and other previous farmer and labor parties.

Many campaign ads also focused mostly on attacking the opposing parties.

After the 1935 election results were in, newspapers across North America took notice, with the *Boston Herald* running the headline "Alberta Goes Crazy!".

This shift marked the first in Social Credit's nine consecutive election victories, for a total of 36 years in office–one of the longest unbroken runs in government in the Commonwealth. The UFA never recovered from this wipeout defeat, withdrawing from politics altogether in 1937. Many of UFA's erstwhile supporters shifted to supporting the CCF, whose full name "CCF (Farmer-Labour-Socialist)" indicates how it was a merging of UFA and other previous farmer and labor parties.

# Anna E. Hendley

**Anna E. Hendley** (September 1865 – October 9, 1945), born **Anna Elizabeth Mills**, was an American suffragist, founder and leader of the Anthony League, later the Susan B. Anthony Foundation.

## Early life

Anna Elizabeth Mills was born and raised in Washington, D.C., one of the six daughters of Sarah F. Sydnor Mills (1848–1924) and Albert W. Mills Sr. (1841–1885).

## Career

In 1912, Hendley founded the Anthony League to preserve the history of the woman's suffrage movement, and to build support for a memorial to Susan B. Anthony in Washington, D.C. The group also took positions on education, child labor, marriage laws, and prison reform. During World War I, she led the group's knitting drive for the troops. She was president of the organization for fourteen years; it changed its name to the Susan B. Anthony Foundation in 1925.

Hendley was also a founder and officer of the Society of Natives of the District of Columbia. and the first president of the District of Columbia Woman's Suffrage Association. In 1916, she co-founded a chautauqua series in Atlantic City. After suffrage was won, Hendley turned her attention the District of Columbia voting rights, hoping to win the vote for residents of the District. "I have seen so many seemingly impossible suffrage hopes and desires come true in my lifetime that my faith is as great as my hope," she told an interviewer in 1938.

Hendley owned Susan B. Anthony's gavel, given to her by Lucy Anthony at a victory convention in Chicago in 1920. She also owned a large 1890 portrait of Anthony by S. Jerome Uhl, and hung it at the Foundation's headquarters in the Shoreham Hotel. The painting was presented to the League of Women Voters by 1932, and to Woodrow Wilson High School in 1938; it has since disappeared.

## Personal life

Anna Elizabeth Mills married federal employee Julian Paul Hendley in 1882. They had three children, Marion (1883–1929), Albert (1885–1975), and Victor (1890–1896). She was widowed in 1943, after 61 years of marriage, and she died in 1945, aged 80 years, in Washington, D.C.

# Eos Press

**Eos Press** is an American game publisher named for the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn. It was established in 2001 in Seattle, Washington, as "Hawthornn Hobgoblynn Press". Eos has operations in Suzhou (China), Taiwan and Singapore.

## History

Financier and businessman Hsin Chen and Aron Anderson (game designer and owner of *The Dreaming*, a Seattle comic and game store) founded Hawthorn Hobgoblynn Press on January 12, 2001, to publish *Godlike*, a game created by their friends Dennis Detwiller and Greg Stolze. In 2003 they renamed the company "Eos Press" and business manager Brad Elliott became the third partner. Brad Elliott left the company in March, 2009, and the company was reformed by Hsin Chen (owner and director); adding Jesse Covner (partner and general manager) and David Ramirez (game project manager).

In 2010, Eos signed famed role playing game (RPG) designer and Nobilis creator Jenna Moran in an exclusive contract to create games and properties. Eos published the third edition of Nobilis and a supplement.

In 2015, Jenna Moran cut ties with Eos because of deceptive behavior by the company and repeated non-delivery of books paid for by the *Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine* Kickstarter. Later in the year, an anonymous donor contributed money to Jenna Moran so that print on demand copies could be distributed independently of Eos.

As of 2020, the company is inactive and may be defunct, as the website has not been updated since 2017.

## Products

Notable Eos Press products are card games *Abuse: The Final Insult*; *Creatures and Cultists* and *The Wormwood Tarot*, a Victorian, gothic tarot set.

Eos also publishes RPGs, including *Godlike*, under the name *Hobgoblynn*, as well as *Unhallowed Metropolis*, a game of neovictorian horror. *Weapons of the Gods*, the first licensed RPG published by Eos, is a Wuxia game inspired by the eponymous comic.

**Ellisville** is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, within Greater St. Louis. It is a western outer-ring suburb of St. Louis. The population was 9,985 at the 2020 census.

In 2009, *Money* magazine ranked Ellisville #25 on the annual Best Places to Live in America list. The city is also currently home to an EPA Superfund site.

## History

Ellisville was settled by Captain James Harvey Ferris of Kentucky before 1837. He brought slaves with him when he settled his property south of Manchester and west of Kiefer Creek Road, and it was here the house that became known as the "Ellis House" was constructed. The bricks used for construction of the house were handmade by the slaves; it was also called the "Brick Place" for this reason.

Captain Ferris sold the house to Vespasian Ellis, a newspaper editor in St. Louis. The *Old School Democrat*, the *Native American Bulletin*, the *Washington Temperance Paper*, and *The Native American* were among Ellis' work. In 1842, Ellis became the United States consul to Venezuela. He ran several ads in the *Native American Bulletin* in an effort to sell his Ellisville farm. As a result, it was sold to William A. Hereford in 1842 or 1843. Hereford was a Virginian and is credited with the naming of Ellisville after his former post office in Ellisville, Virginia. Hereford opened the first post office here on May 2, 1843. Some believe that the Ellis House itself actually served as the post office for a time. All historical accounts of the area give the same history, but none state clearly whether the town was named for Vespasian Ellis or by William Hereford for his Virginia post office.

Hereford sold to Samuel Wilson, and he sold to Major Clarkson of Kentucky for whom Clarkson Road is named. Major Clarkson sold to Captain Benjamin F. Hutchinson of Kentucky, a steamboat captain and the owner of at least three steamboats. Captain Hutchinson raised fine horses and planted extensive orchards, greatly improving the surrounding countryside. In 1868, Captain Hutchinson subdivided his farm into small lots.

Adam Doering purchased the brick house and a considerable portion of the land. John Henry William Rasch purchased the house about 1896 from the Doerings. The Ellisville House stood until 1969 when it was razed.

## Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.39 square miles (11.37 km2), all land.
