title: Carintana dalle Carceri

text: The common understanding of the issue is that Carintana was the second wife of William of Villehardouin, Prince of Achaea, and that his invasion of Negroponte was precipitated by his simultaneous desire to claim her inheritance (Oreus) and to assert his rights as the feudal overlord of the island. However, the now widespread belief that William of Villehardouin was Carintana's widower, going back to the influential work of Karl Hopf, as followed by J. B. Bury, relies upon a mere hypothesis, which does not constitute a fact. According to a study of the available documentation by R. J. Loenertz, Carintana, perhaps a widow, died childless (the name of her husband being unknown), and William of Villehardouin's intervention in Negroponte was not based on any familial (spousal) claims to inherit her, but on his rights as the feudal overlord of the island and as natural adjudicator of the inheritance dispute. The feudal suzerainty over Negroponte had been transferred to the Prince of Achaia by the Latin Emperor Baldwin II sometime in 1240/1244.

title: Jay Simpson

text: On 31 August 2007 he was loaned from Arsenal to Millwall until the new year. The next day, he made his first team debut in a 2–1 League One defeat to Huddersfield Town at The New Den, replacing Danny Spiller for the final eight minutes. He scored his first goal in a 3–2 loss to Swansea City in the first round of the Southern Section of the Football League Trophy on 4 September, and his first league goal in a 2–1 defeat to Swindon Town on 29 September. His performance saw him earned November's PFA Fans Player of Month award for League One. On 15 December, he was sent off for celebrating in the crowd after equalising in a 2–3 home loss to Oldham Athletic. His loan was due to expire on 1 January 2008, but was later extended to the end of the season. Simpson scored eight goals in 44 appearances for Millwall and won the PFA Fans' League One player of the year award for 2008. Simpson thanked Millwall for giving him the chance to improve his game, stating "Going to Millwall was the best decision I have ever made. Playing regularly in the first team really developed my game. It helped me grow as a player and I made a lot of good friends. It did me the world of good. The Millwall fans were really good to me – and I appreciated their support."


title: Jay Simpson

text: In the 2011–12 season, Simpson made three appearances at the start of the season, but struggled to get first team football at the club. As a result, Simpson signed again for Millwall on loan, on transfer deadline day, 31 August 2011, remaining with them until the new year. He made his Millwall debut for the second time on 11 September 2011, where he played 72 minutes before being substituted, in a 3–0 loss against Birmingham City. It wasn't until on 18 October 2011 when he scored his first Millwall goal on his second loan spell, in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion. Two weeks later, on 29 October 2011, he scored twice, as well as, setting up two goals, in a 4–1 win over Ipswich Town. Simpson scored his fourth goal for the club on 20 November 2011, in a 2–1 loss against Bristol City. After making sixteen appearances and scoring four times in the first half of the season, Simpson returned to his parent club. However, Simpson spent the rest of the season out of the first team, as he remained on the sidelines.


title: Jay Simpson

text: In the 2012–13 season, new Manager Steve Bruce was impressed with Simpson's performance after scoring four goals in two friendly matches, including a hat-trick, with a 5–0 win over Winterton Rangers. With this performance, Bruce gave him a first team chance and did well when he scored the only goal in the game, with a win against Brighton & Hove Albion in the opening game of the season. He scored again in the second round of the League Cup, in a 3–2 loss against Doncaster Rovers, followed up by scoring three goals in five matches throughout September against Millwall, Leicester City and Peterborough United. After scoring against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 6 November 2012, Simpson played a vital two weeks later when he set up two goals, in a 3–2 win over Birmingham City. Despite suffering goal drought for the next four months, Simpson continued to remain in the first team. It wasn't until on 5 March 2013 when he scored again, in a 4–2 loss against Crystal Palace. After helping the club reach the Premier League, Simpson went on to score seven goals in forty-seven appearances in all competitions.

In addition, Simpson was named Away Player of the Year award at the 20th annual Supporters' Club Dinner-Dance.


title: Wessex Lane Halls

text: In 1964, a concrete tower extension was added to the hall, incorporating a bar and dining hall area, both now out of use. The extension was designed as a stop-gap measure until the full development of the Montefiore and Glen Eyre sites could be pushed through, with an anticipated lifespan of just 15 years. Over four decades on, the tower was only finally removed from the university's housing stock in 2012. South Stoneham has 180 rooms over its 17 floors (16 of which are residential), although it is all closed to the public. For the majority of Stoneham's existence as a residence, students were fully catered for in the building's own canteen and dining hall. In latter years, as the building's use was wound down, residents were part-catered for and ate in Connaught's Galley Restaurant. Residents shared small kitchen and bathroom facilities. Much controversy had surrounded the continuous use of South Stoneham Tower and in 1997 a large wooden collar was added to the base of the tower to prevent crumbling concrete falling onto staff and students below. As the tower was originally built using asbestos, its decommission and deconstruction has provided a technical stumbling block to redevelopment of the South Stoneham site. Physical disassembly would be hugely expensive, while explosives cannot be used due to the proximity of private houses and the Grade II listed South Stoneham House. Stoneham Tower was deemed unsafe in 2012, and remained unused for accommodation until its demolition.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: In the early 1960s, Woody Guthrie was living on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island, New York. Although Bob Dylan made a pilgrimage to visit Guthrie, who was physically deteriorating due to a neurological disorder called Huntington's Disease, the town of Okemah had no interest in remembering its native son. Okemah residents regarded Guthrie with some suspicion and some believed he was a Communist based on his "Woody Sez" column published in a Communist paper The People's World. In addition, Guthrie sang out his beliefs at labor union rallies - sometimes with other outspoken artists such as Pete Seeger and Cisco Houston. As late as 1971, the Okemah City Council refused to proclaim Woody Guthrie Day due to his radical politics. By the 1970s, although most young people in Okemah had never heard of Guthrie, Guthrie-followers began making pilgrimages to Okemah to visit the house where Guthrie lived. Guthrie's son Arlo - a well-known folksinger himself by the 70s - also made occasional trips to Okemah "to feel the situation out."


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: With the assistance of middle school principal Larry McKinney and school board president Mark Smyth, who also owned Okemah's Crystal Theatre, the first tribute to Woody Guthrie took place on December 1, 1988. Students from Okemah, Langston, and Davenport, Oklahoma performed songs they had written with Long's help. Selections from Woody's writings were narrated by Okemah 7th grader Jerry Baker and translated into the Seminole and Creek languages by First Nation Elder Woodrow 'Wotko' Haney. Besides Long other featured artists included Larry's long-time musical companion Fiddlin' Pete Watercott from California and the following beloved Oklahoma musicians: banjo virtuoso Alan Munde; gospel pianist Shirley Davis; and Okemah's own Reverend Olen Edwards on vocals and harmonica. McKinney said the artist-in-resident program was a "good learning experience for his seventh grade students". Long stated that the lyrics for the songs "came from students interviewing their parents, grandparents and each other. So when it came time to hold a big community celebration for Woody, it was no longer just Woody we were celebrating, but the entire community of Okemah and Oklahoma." Woody's sister, Mary Jo Guthrie Edgmon, attended the concert and later said: "I felt the warmth of my family all around me. Clara, Roy, Woody, George, Papa and Mama. They, too, all sat here in this very theatre many years ago. When the children came marching down the aisle and on the stage I swelled with pride and the tears came. I knew Woody was watching."


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The first annual Woody Guthrie festival was presented in part by The Orphanage Society, a non-profit charitable arts organization dedicated to supporting and presenting live, original folk music in Oklahoma. The 1998 festival included headliners Tom Paxton, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Peter Keane, Tom Skinner and Kevin Welch plus artists who would - along with Arlo Guthrie, Ellis Paul, Jimmy LaFave, Joel Rafael, and The Red Dirt Rangers - become "WoodyFest" regulars: Terry "Buffalo" Ware, Don Conoscenti and Bob Childers. The festival's program booklet includes a welcome letter from Michael M. Hagy, Mayor of Okemah, who said "The first annual Woody Guthrie festival is just the beginning of the great things to come." The festival was held over a period of three days - July 17–19, 1998, with Billy Bragg and Ellis Paul opening the festival earlier in the week with a special benefit show at the Crystal Theater on Tuesday, July 14 - Woody's birthday. Paul stated that when he made his first pilgrimage to Okemah - years before the first festival - he felt that he was walking in Woody's footsteps and that the experience was like "going to the mount". Paul also admits to being one of the many folksingers who have taken a small piece of rock from the crumbling foundation of Guthrie's house in Okemah, saying, at that time, that he kept the memento in his guitar case.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The Woody Guthrie Coalition welcomed festival attendees to the sixth annual festival in 2003 by saying "We are honored to have back with us Arlo Guthrie & Family along with an American icon, Pete Seeger, and, for the first time, another great folk music legend, Josh White, Jr.". Guthrie family members in attendance included Arlo's daughters Sarah Lee Guthrie (and husband Johnny Irion), Cathy Guthrie, and Annie Guthrie, and his son Abe. In addition, other first-time festival performers included Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Eliza Gilkyson, Ronny Elliot, Carrie Newcomer, Steppin' In It, Blackfire, Christopher Williams and The Burns Sisters. The festival kicked off with a ticketed event at the Crystal Theater on Wednesday night titled "Welcome Home Woody - An Oklahoma Tribute to Woody Guthrie". The benefit show featured many of the 2003 festival performers. The festival ended on Sunday with a "Hoot for Huntington's" featuring many festival performers donating their time to raise money for the Huntington's Disease Society. Another fundraiser - held for the first time in 2003 - was "Mary Jo's Pancake Breakfast". The breakfast - another event to raise money for the Huntington's Disease Society - provides Woody Guthrie's youngest sister, Mary Jo, an opportunity to share memories and tell stories about her big brother Woody. The first pancake breakfast, which has continued to be held annually, was held in the Okfusgee Historical Society, but subsequent pancake breakfasts were held on the outdoor patio at Lou's Rocky Road Tavern. A variety of artists - including regulars Jimmy LaFave and Joel Rafael - perform Woody Guthrie songs interspersed with Mary Jo's storytelling.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The ninth annual festival was held July 12–16, 2006. Randy Norman, President of the Woody Guthrie Coalition, wrote: "The first few years were an experiment that continues nine years later. We were very lucky to find a core group of outstanding artists that first year who believed as we did and were willing to help make the first festival a success, if not fiscally at least in the spirit of Woody." First-time festival performers included Ronny Cox, Sam Baker, Joe Ely, Greg Klyma, and others. The festival kicked off on Wednesday when Arlo Guthrie and family brought their "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" tour to town. Jimmy LaFave closed out the festival on Saturday night at the Pastures of Plenty. Other highlights of the 2006 festival included a poetry and spoken-word tribute to Woody Guthrie featuring prominent Oklahoma poets as well as "Strokes of Electriciy: The Artwork of Woody Guthrie" presented by Steven Brower. The festival concluded on Sunday with another "Hoot for Huntington's" - an all-star jam at the Crystal Theater.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The 10th annual festival took place July 11–15, 2007. To celebrate the ten-year anniversary, one of many Oklahoma centennial-year events, the festival kicked off with a ticketed event on Wednesday night in Okemah's historic Crystal Theater. Seven "10-year artists" - artists who have participated every year since the festival's inception - performed at a Coalition benefit show titled "In the Spirit of Woody Guthrie". Those artists were Jimmy LaFave, Don Conoscenti, Ellis Paul, Bob Childers, Joel Rafael, Terry "Buffalo" Ware, and the Red Dirt Rangers. The 2007 lineup spanning over four days included more than 60 artists from many genres including folk, alt-country and rock. Members of the Guthrie family scheduled to appear were Arlo Guthrie and Cathy Guthrie (daughter of Arlo) and Amy Nelson (daughter of Willie Nelson), who perform as Folk Uke. More than 100 artists performed at the festival's 10-year celebration including Kevin Welch, Sara Hickman, Butch Hancock, Tim O'Brien, Ronny Elliot, Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines, Rob McNurlin, Jack Williams, Antje Duvekot, Johnsmith, Sam Baker, David and Adam Amram, The Burns Sisters, Ronny Cox, Michael Fracasso, Radoslav Lorković and Eliza Gilkyson. The tenth festival again concluded on Sunday with a "Hoot for Huntington's", having become a Woody Fest tradition. The hootenanny is coordinated and led by Terry "Buffalo" Ware, a guitarist living in Norman, Oklahoma, and the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival All-Star House Band. The House Band also includes Randy Crouch (fiddle/pedal steel), Don Morris (bass), Dean Brown (drums), Dan Duggin (accordion) and T.Z. Wright (keyboard/accordion). The House Band can be heard playing back-up for many festival performers and in 2007 also played a set of their own - as The Oklahoma Geniuses - at the Brick Street Cafe.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: Highlights of the 5-day festival included debut performances by Judy Collins, who closed the festival on Saturday night, John Gorka, Jon Vezner and Jimmy Davis. In addition, a special edition of the Phil Ochs Song Night was held, emceed by Ochs' sister, Sonny Ochs. Performers at the Ochs' tribute included Gorka, John Flynn, Sean Flynn, Jimmy LaFave, David Amram, Sara Hickman, and Radoslav Lorković. Several young singer-songwriters also made their festival debut. They included Alexinder Gunn, Anthony da Costa, Ali Harter and Amy Speace. Other highlights included the premier of a table reading of "Time Changes Everything," a one-act play written by John Wooley and Thomas Conner that features two characters: Woody Guthrie and Bob Wills. Although there is no evidence that these two famous songwriters ever met, the play considers the possibility by chronicling two conversations between the men. The starring roles were read by two of the Red Dirt Rangers: John Cooper as Wills and Brad Piccolo as Guthrie. Several musicians participated in the festival's annual Community Outreach Program. Among those who volunteered their time and talents were Nancy Apple, who performed at the Okemah Senior Citizens Center, and Ronny Elliott, who performed at the Okemah Senior Citizens Center.

title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The 20th Annual festival was held July 12–16, 2017. With Jimmy LaFave's death less than two months prior, the opening night concert was a tribute to LaFave featuring members of his band, The Night Tribe (Bobby Kallus, John Inmon, Glenn Schuetz, and Radoslav Lorkovic). LaFave had been a regular at the festival since its inception, having performed at 17 WoodyFests, often as the Saturday night headliner. In addition, he served on the Woody Guthrie Coalition's Advisory Board. Musician Greg Jacobs said of the tribute: "It's fitting in that I don't think this festival would be here if it wasn't for Jimmy LaFave. Jimmy was here from the very start." Performers during the tribute included Andy Adams, the Burns Sisters, Michael Fracasso, John Fullbright, Jaimee Harris, Greg Jacobs, Levi Parham, Joel Rafael and the Red Dirt Rangers. In addition, there were performances by Lauren Lee, Anthony DaCosta, Danny Click, Jared Tyler, Robert S. Williams, Bob Livingston, Miss Brown to You (Mary Reynolds and Louise Goldberg), Lance Canales, Gene Williams, and more.

title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: Five stages were featured during the 20th Annual WoodyFest. A stage at the Hen House Cafe became an official festival stage for the first time this year. As in previous years, the festival also included poetry readings, open mics, children's concerts, educational presentations, songwriting workshops, and community outreach performances. Musicians who provided community outreach concerts at the Okemah Nutrition Center, Okemah Care Center and Colonial Park included Lauren Lee, Bob Livingston, Nancy Apple, Joseph Leavell, Joe Baxter and Larry Spears, and Cassie Latshaw.

title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: Several special presentations, some that included book signings, took place at the 2017 festival. Tim Z. Hernandez told the story behind his book All They Will Call You - based on Woody Guthrie's song "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee)". Therese Crutcher-Marin, a board member of the Northern California Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America, presented "Watching Their Dance: Three Sisters, A Genetic Disease and Marrying into a Family At Risk for Huntington's".

Lauren Lee coordinated Woody's Kids - a special songwriting workshop for the younger folks, while Ellis Paul taught a songwriting workshop for adults.


title: Woody Guthrie Folk Festival

text: The festival once again offered a plethora of educational programs (musical and non-musical) and events for children. These included the 8th annual Art of the Song radio show interviews. Art of the Song hosts John Dillon and Vivian Nesbitt interviewed Nancy Apple and Radoslav Lorković. Vivian Nesbitt also performed her 1-woman play Mother Jones in Heaven followed by a discussion on the importance of labor unions facilitated by Tom Breiding and Dan Navarro.The Woody Guthrie Poets made their 14th consecutive visit to the festival; this year hosted by Dorothy Alexander, Jessica Issacs and Branwyn Holroyd.

Barry Ollman returned for his 12th consecutive presentation of Collecting Woody.


title: Open New York

text: Open New York's activities have been oriented around advocacy in favor of individual projects in "high-opportunity" areas, larger neighborhood-wide rezonings, and changes to city and state-wide policy, rooted in a market-based theory of change whereby increasing housing supply, both market-rate and subsidized affordable housing, would ease upwards pressure on prices. One of the first major projects in which the organization was involved was in 2018, advocating for the construction of 80 Flatbush, a 900-unit mixed-use development in Downtown Brooklyn, arguing that as a project in an "optimal spot for new housing" it would enable the area to continue to "provide an accessible path to opportunity", and that critics were chiefly "wealthy homeowners who, at best, seek to maintain the aesthetics of the neighborhood, their views, parking, and property values". The project was ultimately approved, albeit with a reduction in height, the organization was credited with organizing around and providing what a staffer at the Regional Plan Association described as a previously unheard "grassroots voice" in favor of residential development, backed by economic and mainstream urban planning theory but which had lacked a "natural constituency" in the land use process aside from developers themselves.


title: Father and Son (Raban book)

text: The memoir details the writer's brain bleed, leading to a stroke on June 11, 2011. At the time of the stroke, at age 69, he was smoking cigarettes and had uncontrolled blood pressure. He was unaware that his symptoms of arm numbness and weakness were due to a stroke, but after several hours, he asked his teenage daughter to take him to the emergency department. In the hospital in northern Seattle , he underwent rehab. The stroke affected his ability to walk and confined him to a wheelchair, however his ability to read and write remained entirely intact. Raban documented the rehab process, including positive relationships he developed with healthcare workers. But Raban also wrote of negative interactions in which he felt belittled and pitied by others, with one healthcare worker asking him "Would you like to go potty now?" and a physician inquiring if he used to be a writer. With Raban defiantly replying: "I very much hope that I'm still a writer". During the long recovery process, Raban found solace in reading, and he continued to work on his memoir, which was eventually published in 2023.


title: Father and Son (Raban book)

text: Writing for the New York Times, Dwight Garner stated that the parts of the memoir documenting Raban's recovery from a stroke were more personal and intimate than the parts documenting his father's life. Garner stated: "Raban never quite finds the links between father and son that would suggest a continuity of soul between them." In a negative review in The Guardian, Anthony Quinn criticized the book's disparate two halves as poorly complimenting each other as part of the narrative, stating: "The halves of the book don't fit together, don't really comment on each other". Quinn also criticized Raban for failing to document his relationship with his father after he returned home from the war feeling that large swathes explaining Raban's relationship with his father were omitted. Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Mary Ann Gwinn also felt that there were aspects of Raban's relationship with his father omitted from the book, but in conclusion she stated: "Regardless of its ellisions (or maybe because of them), "Father and Son" has the feel of a valediction; its force is doubled by the knowledge that Raban spent what remained of his life trying to complete it."


title: Thomas Christie (physician)

text: At the end of the same year Christie became a Licentiate of the College of Physicians, at once began private practice at Cheltenham, and in 1811 published there An Account of the Introduction, Progress, and Success of Vaccination in Ceylon. This, his only book, is based upon official reports and letters written during his residence in Ceylon. In 1799 and 1800, as in many previous years, smallpox raged throughout the island. The natives used to abandon their villages and the sick, and at Errore, Christie found the huts in ruins from the inroad of elephants, bears, and hogs which had trampled down all the fences and gardens, and had eaten the stores of grain and some of the bodies of the dead or dying. Inoculation was practised, but did not check the epidemics, and the native population was averse to it. After some unsuccessful efforts active vaccine lymph was obtained from Bombay, whither it had come from an English surgeon at Baghdad, by way of Bussorah. Christie at once began vaccination, and by continued care and perseverance spread the practice throughout the island, so that by 1806 smallpox only existed in one district, that of the pearl fishery, to which strangers continually reintroduced the disease. In the course of his labours Christie made the original observation that lepers are not exempt from small-pox, are protected by vaccination, and may be vaccinated without danger.


title: Sisson Documents

text: "that the present heads of the Bolshevist government – Lenin and Trotsky and their associates – are German agents... that the Bolshevist revolt was arranged for by the German Great General Staff and financed by the German Imperial Bank and other German financial institutions... that the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a betrayal of the Russian people by German agents, Lenin and Trotsky; that a German-picked "commander" was chosen to defend Petrograd against the Germans; that German officers have been secretly received by the Bolshevist government as military advisers, as spies upon the embassies of Russia's allies, as officers in the Russian army, and as directors of the Bolshevist military, foreign and domestic policy... that the present Bolshevist government is not a Russian government at all, but a German government, acting solely in the interests of Germany, and betraying the Russian people, as it betrays Russia's natural allies, for the benefit of the Imperial German Government alone. And they show also that the Bolshevist leaders... have equally betrayed the working classes of Russia whom they pretend to represent."


title: Jacopo Avanzo

text: Jacopo Avanzo (or Avanzi or Da Vanzo) of Verona, has long been confused with Jacopo degli Avanzi of Bologna; but the remains of an inscription in the Cappella San Giorgio point to Verona as the birthplace of Avanzo. He painted decorations, in conjunction with Altichiero da Zevio, in the Cappella San Felice and the Cappella San Giorgio in the church of Sant' Antonio at Padua, in 1377. It appears that the principal frescoes in the Cappella San Felice were the work of Altichiero; and of those in the Cappella San Giorgio, which were recovered from oblivion in 1837 by Dr. E. Förster, the part to be assigned to Altichiero has given rise to much dispute; but it is thought by some authorities that Avanzo executed the principal portion. The frescoes represent the earlier part of the 'History of our Lord,' the 'Coronation of the Virgin,' the 'Crucifixion,' and 'Legends of St. George, St. Catharine, and St. Lucy.' They prove the painter to have been an artist of no common genius, and Kugler, in his description of them, speaks of his art as being above that of his contemporaries. Avanzo also painted two triumphal processions in a public hall of Verona, which have long since perished. He died about the end of the 14th century.


title: Common area

text: Depending upon the common area type (i.e. business, residential, state-owned) there are certain precautions one must take with utilizing them. Some require leases, some require contracts, and some only require a spoken pledge. For example, businesses may share common areas in a store that accepts vendors from multiple backgrounds. It is understood in a lease or contract that they will share space with these different vendors. With apartments, there are two different types of common areas a developer can have. One would be under contract and the other would be under lease. Apartments that rent by the unit (i.e. conventional housing) are signed for by one individual. That one individual legally decides the use of the common area should they ever gain a roommate in the future. If an apartment complex leases by the bedroom, there is a clause or paragraph detailing how the space is to be used equally between all lease holders. Lastly, there are state-owned and mandated common areas. Forts and bases, government run facilities, and even jails have common areas. There is no agreement in a lease stating how those areas should be used. There are different kinds of common areas and all of them have different rules and stipulations. They all have different legal proceedings should something happen in those areas.

It took him 61 attempts and 19 partners to accomplish the feat.


title: Windsor Public Library

text: The year of 1894 marked the opening of Windsor's first free public library which was located in Lambie's Hall in the building that now stands as the former Windsor Star building. After one year of operation the library had 5,245 volumes available to the public. This library remained Windsor's sole library until the turn of the century when discussion began that the Lambie Hall Library was inadequate for the people of Windsor. On July 25, 1900 a formal request was placed to Andrew Carnegie to help establish a new library which would be up to date and would have the means to accommodate the people of Windsor. A CA$20,000 donation was received and a site was selected to begin the process of erecting Windsor's new library. The library was set to be built at the corner of Park and Victoria. Once construction began, it became clear that $20,000 was not a large enough budget and in June and July 1902, Mr. Carnegie took it upon himself to give a further $7,000 towards the project. Windsor's Carnegie Library officially opened its doors to the public on October 16, 1903. This library soon became the city's main reference library due to its vast collection of materials.


title: Windsor Public Library

text: By 1971 a site had been selected for the location of the downtown library. It was to be located on the east side of Ouellette Avenue on the site that was formerly the home to the Ursuline School of Music. The design for the new library was done by architects Johnson and McWhinnie who hailed from Windsor and the construction costs of their designed reached $24.88 per square foot. The construction of this building was to start as soon as financial approval was received from the Ontario Municipal Board. The expected total cost was $3 million. January 1972 marked the ground breaking ceremony of Windsor's Main Library. This library is to act as a resource center for the public of Windsor. An emphasis was placed on the multi-media approach with future possibility of change or advancement kept in mind. The library boasted two special services: The Languages Centre and the Bookstore. Some of the other services offered by the new library were as follows: an information centre, family reading centre, arts and recreation centre, literature and history section, film centre, science and technology section, philosophy, religion and social sciences, archives and assembly and meeting rooms with capacity for up to 300 people. The Carnegie Library and the new library erected in 1972 were not the only libraries available to the citizens of Windsor. By 1969, there were eight existing branches of the Windsor Public library and today there are nine. This figure does not include the community archives or museums.

title: List of Pathé Exchange films

text: Pathé Exchange, commonly known as Pathé, was an American film production and distribution company, largely of Hollywood's silent era. Known for its groundbreaking newsreel and wide array of shorts, it grew out of the American division of the major French studio Pathé Frères, which began distributing films in the United States in 1904. Ten years later, it produced the enormously successful The Perils of Pauline, a twenty-episode serial that came to define the genre. The American operation was incorporated as Pathé Exchange toward the end of 1914 and spun off as an independent entity in 1921. The following year, it released Robert J. Flaherty's influential documentary Nanook of the North. Other notable feature releases included the controversial drama Sex and director/producer Cecil B. DeMille's smash-hit biblical epic The King of Kings . For much of the 1920s, Pathé distributed the shorts of comedy pioneers Hal Roach and Mack Sennett and innovative animator Paul Terry. Famed comedian Harold Lloyd starred under the Pathé banner in both shorts and features for Roach and then in three features for his own production company.


title: Astraea (album)

text: Rolo Tomassi only completed one short tour of the United Kingdom in 2011. They spent all the year preparing for their new album and the creation of Destination Moon, the band's own record label. They released a compilation CD, Eternal Youth, in mid-2011 to compile selected works from their numerous split EPs, demos and out-of-print extended plays. When asked about leaving Hassle to form their own record label, the band stated "We were questioning what we were doing for our label that we couldn't do ourselves. We've always been very proactive with the running of our band and we've never given away much freedom." The band announced in early February 2012 that both Joseph Thorpe and Joe Nicholson had left the band. This was because Joe Nicholson wanted to read chemistry at university, while Thorpe's reasons were related to personal differences. The band replaced both with Chris Cayford, who is the current frontman and former guitarist of No Coast, and Nathan Fairweather, who plays in Brontide, making this the first release with the new line-up.


title: Astraea (album)

text: In the writing of previous albums by Rolo Tomassi a majority of the music was written by James and Eva Spence wrote most of the lyrics. For Astraea, the band treated it as a collaboration between all five members; however James and Cayford were the "main brains". In January 2012, in an interview with Kerrang!, Eva Spence confirmed that the band are self-producing their third full-length with Hysterics producer Jason Sanderson. The choice of returning to Sanderson was because he has been a close friend of the band members for a long time. Regarding the sound of the album, she stated that it will be "more direct and heavier", but also noted that the band "will never shy away from being experimental". However, James Spence went on record saying that during the actual production of the album the band did not consider themselves as part of the overall production; rather just having a say in every aspect of the album progress. In April 2012, the NME did a studio update with on the album with James Spence stating that the band's writing was "70% complete". He credited how the new members Chris and Nathan "breathed new life" into the band's writing as the original three members had become "too set in their ways". The band members have commented that this has made the writing a lot more fun as the band no longer writes a song then learns it. As the band wrote Astraea they decided to contrast with their typical style more with the clean and ethereal parts, which led to an increase of Eva's singing.


title: Astraea (album)

text: They started recording Astraea in June at James Spence's house in Nottingham. They were forced into this situation as Sanderson's recording studio was taken from him through a contractual issue on the building with the landlord. The recording process was different from previous albums as there was a lot of production and pre-production involved. Sanderson would come to the practice sessions of the bands and make suggestions to the songs and then they would go to record it. The album took three months to record because of band member's personal commitments, this to James Spence had a positive effect as the members took their time with the music, believing the album was more "produced" than previous efforts. James believed Rolo Tomassi had much more of an opportunity to experiment in the studio and try things they had never tried before. However, James had commented that the recording of the album in his house revealed to be a stressful decision. An example of this was were his basement- where all the recording equipment was- flooded due to heavy rainfall. Although nothing got damaged, stagnant water remained and they had to move the guitar cab to his bedroom. They recorded the drums upstairs at The Bodega in Nottingham then Rolo Tomassi then went to James and Eva Spence's parents house record the vocals, keyboard and pianos.


title: Astraea (album)

text: Much like the band's previous work Astraea is considered primarily as mathcore. This is displayed in the theoretical complexity of their music, such as odd time signatures like 9/13, polyrhythmic drumming and use of dynamics, akin to bands such as Converge, Radiohead and Sigur Rós. Their sound is seen as a "stylistic schism" between "Dillinger Escape Plan-esque tech-metalcore, grandstanding prog rock and modish synthesised pop" and fusing aesthetics from shoegaze, space rock, ambient, black metal, hardcore punk, jazz, pop, progressive rock and techno. The band is noted for their two vocalists who use both screaming and singing vocals, and the album is described as featuring more 'clean vocals' than previous albums. The band's vocal diversity is said to: "immediately creates a rich and textured sonic world". Eva has been seen as pushing her vocals "further than ever before, displaying extremity, contrasted with canorous beauty", with her singing voice being compared to the dream pop stylings of Grimes and Cocteau Twins. When Eva Spence has been asked about the album's musical approach, is much more 'hard-hitting' and 'more direct' than previous albums. She was quoted saying that the album is much more accessible than their previous albums: "You can get your teeth into it much quicker, people who didn't have patience before with our music before will be into this record. It's still technical, but we're using the mathy bits more sparingly."


title: Astraea (album)

text: The album opens out with 'Howl', a grinding, but graceful opener. The song starts with an opening two minutes of intense and spacious drone synthesisers. The following two minutes of the song break into "unrelenting and brutal" mathcore with Eva Spence making her vocal debut with her "gleefully guttural vocal register". The song is used as an example of how the band is using more complex, but 'more rewarding' song structures in their music. 'Ex Luna Scientia', the opening single for the album is seen as a more expansive and more melodic song in comparison to their previous work, placing emphasis on Eva Spence's singing rather than her trademark 'guttural' style. Rock Sound reviewer Oliver Robertson used the song as an example for the sonic development of the album as it is "more focused on making each element stand out now, rather than creating simply a cacophony of noise." The introduction to 'Empiresk' is seen as being "completely caked in reverb" and ends with a stoner riff. The "sparse piano chords" that open both 'Empiresk' and 'Prelude II', among the atmospheric breaks that are featured on other tracks on the album defy the aggression featured on the rest of Astraea. Songs like 'The Scales of Balance', 'Remancer' and 'Gloam' are seen as having a familiar style to the Rolo Tomassi's previous work. 'Gloam', specifically the last half of the song, showcases a "battle between melodic keyboard and screamed vocals with a real sense of urgency and threat." 'Remancer' specifically has been considered as almost like Mastodon. The album closes with 'Illuminare', a song which Metal Hammer reviewer Merlin Alderslade cites as showing Radiohead and Sigur Rós influences.


title: Astraea (album)

text: In early February 2012, Rolo Tomassi announced the release of a new single: 'Old Mystics'. 'Old Mystics' and its B-side 'Mesmerizer' was written by synthesiser play James Spence in the earliest stages of the Astraea's writing, in late 2011. The single was uploaded to the band's Facebook profile to stream for free. They released the single on 26 March. The band announced a few days after releasing "Old Mystics" for streaming that it will most likely not appear on the new album and will just be a stand-alone single as they felt the two songs did not fit onto Astraea. Rolo Tomassi completed their first tour of the year as the main support for Architects on a 14-date UK tour in April. They used this tour to promote their new single 'Old Mystics' as well as debut other unrecorded new material from the album, such as songs 'Howl' and 'Remancer'. Rolo Tomassi's presence on the tour was met with positive reception; however, reviewers believed the band's music was too aggressive and chaotic for fans of Architects. Tim Sewell when writing for The Courier Online said that: "it was apparent that much of the crowd (mostly Architects fans) were left a little confused by singer/shewolf Eva Spence, who flung herself about in front of them screaming."


title: Astraea (album)

text: The band completed a small British tour in January 2013, but in May that year Rolo Tomassi completed another short British tour with Bastions, the band was noted for only costing five-pound a ticket for all venues. They picked Bastions as they were aware of them because of their mutual relationship with Holy Roar Records and how their bassist played in Crocus, a band which has played with Rolo Tomassi in the past. Rolo Tomassi's decision of making the shows of the tour only cost five-pound was questioned by interviewer Samantha Booth when writing for The National Student, James replied saying it was for the sake of encouraging people to come see them and because of the high prices of concert tickets. The band has hinted that their touring schedule would go "further afield" than Europe. In September Rolo Tomassi performed on three out of the four dates of the Japanese touring festival Reverberation Festival. In September and October, starting just three days after their Japanese performances Rolo Tomassi completed 13 date tour of Australia with Australian bands Totally Unicorn and Stockades. It is the first time the band has been in the country since 2010.


title: Abraham Zelmanov

text: Abraham Leonidovich Zelmanov was born on May 15, 1913, in Poltava Gubernya of the Russian Empire. His father was a Judaic religious scientist, a specialist in comments on Torah and Kabbalah. In 1937 Zelmanov completed his education at the Mechanical Mathematical Department of Moscow University. After 1937 he was a research-student at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute in Moscow, where he presented his dissertation in 1944. In 1953 he was arrested for "cosmopolitism" in Joseph Stalin's campaign against Jews. However, as soon as Stalin died, Zelmanov was set free, after some months of imprisonment. For several decades Zelmanov and his paralyzed parents lived in a room in a flat shared with neighbours. He took everyday care of his parents, so they lived into old age. Only in the 1970s did he obtain a personal municipal flat. He was married three times. Zelmanov worked on the academic staff of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute all his life, until his death on the winter's day, 2 February 1987.


title: Hardy Cross Dillard

text: Dillard attended the Virginia Episcopal School and later the U.S. Military Academy where he graduated in 1924. Upon graduation, Dillard was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Infantry. However, with the First World War fading in to the background, fresh West Point graduates were encouraged to leave the service. Thus, like many of his classmates, Dillard resigned his commission two months after graduation. He subsequently entered the University of Virginia Law School and served on the editorial board of the Virginia Law Review and was also president of the law school student body. Due to his legal ability, the law faculty took the unusual step of asking him to stay after graduation to serve as an instructor. He taught primarily international law for two years before leaving to become an associate in the New York City law firm of Gregg & Church. After only a year with the law firm, he was awarded a fellowship by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to study international law at the University of Paris.


title: Hardy Cross Dillard

text: Upon completion of the program, Dillard accepted an appointment as assistant professor of law at the University of Virginia. He returned to New York City in the summers of 1932 and 1933 and worked as an associate at Davis, Polk, Wardwell, Gardiner and Reed. In 1934 he became the university's director of Institute of Public Affairs – an assignment in addition to his law duties. The institute brought prominent speakers to the university from government, business and academia to discuss topics of national and international interest. As the director, Dillard became acquainted with some of the leading figures of the day such as Senator Robert A. Taft, Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, Ambassador Paul V McNutt, Owen Lattimore, Thurman Arnold, Max Lerner, David Sarnoff, Rexford Guy Tugwell, Major George Fielding Eliot, Max Eastman, Quincy Howe, and William L. Shirer. Dillard, however, drew controversy by inviting communists such as Earl Browder to speak. A former president of the university's Alumni Association protested in a letter to the Alumni News that Dillard went "beyond freedom of speech" when he offered a rostrum from which the general secretary of the American Communist Party and the Soviet Ambassador could, "spread subversive doctrines." Dillard responded that where controversial topics are selected, "both sides should be fairly heard." A spokesman for Germany was also invited to speak.


title: Hardy Cross Dillard

text: On 27 October 1970, The U.N. General Assembly and U.N. Security Council elected Dillard to a nine-year term on The International Court of Justice. During his tenure on the Court, Dillard adjudicated seven contentious and three advisory cases. According to his peers, Judge Dillard's ICJ decision's were resolute and consistent with jurisprudence depicted in writings during his years as a legal scholar. Dillard's international jurisprudence espoused an interlocking of law and diplomacy whereby law serves as an "ordering device" which helps in dispute settlement and at the same time leaves room for the parties to play a major role in the final determination. He believed that international law should be realistic, creative, axiologically oriented and also serve as an indicator of emerging norms. Judge Dillard also stressed that the leaders of national governments – described by him as the "wielders of power" – must understand that effective international law is,"essential to the long range national interests of all the components of the international community." Judge Dillard's multi method jurisprudence is reflected in an adage he often used and first noticed on a sign outside of a Unitarian Church in London during the Second World War – between dogmatism on one hand and skepticism on the other, there is a middle way, which is our way - open minded certainty.


title: Nila Tanzil

text: Taman Bacaan Pelangi is a non-profit organization that builds children's libraries and promotes literacy in remote areas of eastern Indonesia. Nila opened the first Taman Bacaan Pelangi children's library in Roe Village, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia in 2009. As of April 2018, Pelangi had 82 libraries across 15 islands in eastern Indonesia, including libraries on East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, Papua providing more than 105,300 children's books to some of the most remote villages in Indonesia. Nila hopes to inaugurate her 100th library and deliver her 250,000th children's book before the end of 2018. Taman Bacaan Pelangi focuses the eastern part of Indonesia because it is underdeveloped and lacks the infrastructure needed to give children access to international-standard books. More importantly, the illiteracy rate in parts of eastern Indonesia is staggeringly high, with more than 55 percent of 15-year-olds unable to understand what they read. In an effort to ensure that Taman Bacaan Pelangi is well-funded and sustainable, she founded Travel Sparks in 2015. Travel Sparks is a social enterprise that helps people from around the world "Travel With A Cause". With Travel Sparks, tourists can take part in a once in a lifetime voluntourism opportunity. In 2016, Nila published "Lembar-Lembar Pelangi," a non-fiction book that recounts her decision to quit her corporate career and answer the "call" to leave it all behind her to follow her dream of building libraries and promoting literacy in some of the most remote places in Indonesia.

text: Somewhat detached from the rest of the estate, Randolph Place never had the same allure for housing and from the outset seems to have attracted office use. This may be because the rear of West Register House was never developed to the same standard as the front, creating a less attractive setting. Robert Adam's original plan for the building included a grand rear entrance onto Randolph Place. However, when the funds could not be found for Adam's design, architect Robert Reid was called in to modify the plan. The modified plan placed attenuated pavilions flanking a Diocletian window above a Venetian window at the rear of the building overlooking Randolph Place, and although architect David Bryce later drew up plans to add towers to the pavilions, this work was never carried out. Randolph Place therefore became a comparatively unimpressive entrance from the West End's Melville Street, into Charlotte Square and on to George Street. City of Edinburgh Council have undertaken a number of public consultations on possible ways to improve Randolph Place in recent years, including potentially resurfacing it or the addition of green space and public art, and the possibility of a cycle route from Melville Street, to George Street via Randolph Place, but as of 2022 nothing has been agreed.


title: Khamosh Pani

text: In 1979 in Charkhi, a village in the Punjab province of Pakistan, Ayesha (a middle-aged widow) lives with her son Saleem, a teenager in love with schoolgirl Zubeida. Ayesha supports herself and Saleem with her late husband's pension and by giving lessons in the Qur'an to village girls. She refuses to go to the village well, and her neighbor's daughters draw water for her. Villagers like Amin, the postman, are troubled by the recent hanging of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto by Zia-ul-Haq, the new military ruler who has promised to enforce Islamic law and encourages Islamic missionary and political groups. Two Islamic activists come to the village and, supported by the village choudhury, spread their message of Islamic zealotry and gain recruits to fight the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The older men in the village are disdainful of their intolerance and puritanism, cynical about Zia's postponement of elections and angry when the activists accuse them of being traitors. The activists gain a following amongst the village youth, including Saleem. They cajole and intimidate Saleem into attending a political meeting in Rawalpindi, where the speakers exhort the audience to commit themselves to jihad for the creation of an Islamic Pakistani state. Attracted by their zeal and call to serve Islam and Pakistan, Saleem (who wants to be more than a village farmer) breaks up with Zubeida and becomes estranged from his mother. Ayesha unsuccessfully tries to discourage him from following Islamists. Saleem helps build a wall around the girls' school to "protect" them and enforces the closing of village shops during namaaz in line with Zia-ul-Haq's Islamisation, and Ayesha and Zubeida are alarmed by his transformation.


title: Khamosh Pani

text: After an agreement between the Indian and Pakistani governments, a group of Sikh pilgrims from India, arrives in Pakistan to visit Sikh shrines. They come to Charkhi, the village they were forced to flee during the bloody partition of India in 1947. A pilgrim wants to look for his sister, who he believes survived the violence. The visitors have a mixed reception: a warm welcome from the village barber and hostility from the growing number of young Muslim zealots. Saleem is embarrassed that his mother sent food to the pilgrims and teaches the village girls that non-Muslims can go to heaven. The pilgrim asks some villagers, including Amin, if they knew if a Sikh woman survived the riots. They say they do not know, but Amin later visits the pilgrim's hut and tells him to look for the woman who never goes to the well. Following the girls who bring water to her house, the pilgrim finds Ayesha. When he asks her if she knows a Sikh woman who survived the riots, she anxiously tells him to leave. Saleem sees the pilgrim talking to his mother, and hears him call her "Veero" and tell her that her father wanted to see her before he died. Saleem is shocked to learn that Ayesha was Veero, a Sikh; in a flashback, she was among a group of village Sikh women lined up to jump into the village well rather than be raped by a Muslim mob in 1947. The Sikh men (including her father) want her to jump, but Veero runs away and is later caught, raped and imprisoned. Her rapist, remorseful, offers to marry her, and she begins life as a Muslim.


title: BGI Group

text: In January 2021, Reuters reported that BGI has worked with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and affiliated institutions such as the National University of Defense Technology on efforts to enhance soldiers' strength and other projects. In July 2021, Reuters reported that BGI developed a prenatal test, with the assistance of the People's Liberation Army, which is also used for genetic data collection. In an interview with the South China Morning Post, a BGI representative denied the Reuters report. The South China Morning Post stated that BGI published papers with the People's Liberation Army General Hospital and the Army Medical University, explaining in the article that in China "many top-notch hospitals are affiliated with the military." BGI further stated "All NIPT data collected overseas are stored in BGI's laboratory in Hong Kong and are destroyed after five years, as stipulated by General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)". BGI also stated "BGI has never been asked to provide, nor has it provided data from its NIFTY tests to Chinese authorities for national security or national defense security purposes."


title: Helen Timmons Henderson

text: Helen Timmons was born on May 23, 1877 Cass County, Missouri, where her parents were visiting, and grew up in Jefferson County, Tennessee. She attended Carson–Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where she studied to become a schoolteacher; one of her professors there was Robert Anderson Henderson, whom she would later marry. Upon her marriage she moved with her husband to Buchanan County, Virginia; there she was shocked by the limited educational opportunities available in southwest Virginia, and began efforts to correct the deficit. These culminated in the foundation of the Baptist Mountain School in Council, in 1911, at which organization she served as assistant principal; her husband was the principal. The leadership qualities she evinced in her role convinced a group of local Democratic Party leaders to suggest, in 1923, that she run for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. She acquiesced, and proved to be not only an excellent campaigner, but a fine public speaker as well; unusually for the time, she drove her own car between campaign stops, and would sometimes speak at two in the same day. Henderson won election that November by a margin of over 400 votes. The town of Council was at the time so remote that it took two days for news of her election to trickle in.


title: Helen Timmons Henderson

text: The Richmond Times-Dispatch described Henderson's opposition as coming "from some independent Democrats, Republicans, and wets", the latter referring to opponents of Prohibition. Of her role in Richmond, Henderson said: "I'm not in the Legislature for publicity. It's simply a question of public service with me, and a duty I owe to the people back in those counties which have elected me." While in the General Assembly Henderson gained a reputation as an advocate for the interests of southwest Virginia, calling for more funding for roads and schools. She was the first woman to preside over the Assembly, and sat on four Committees: Roads and Internal Navigation; Counties, Cities, and Towns; Moral and Social Welfare; and Executive Expenditures. Her health, however, had begun to fail in the spring of 1925, and she returned to her parents' home in Jefferson City; she died there in July, without the chance to run for reelection, although she had been unanimously renominated. At her death governor E. Lee Trinkle praised her "many virtues, clear vision and noble aspirations", and ordered flags at the capitol building to be flown at half-staff in her honor. Henderson is buried at Westview Cemetery in Jefferson City.


title: 9th Kansas Cavalry Regiment

text: The 9th Kansas Cavalry Regiment was organized at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas on March 27, 1862, by consolidation of several "independent battalions", squadrons, and detachments originally formed for other regiments. Company A organized as Company D, 8th Kansas Infantry, September 13 to October 14, 1861; Company B as Company H, 8th Kansas Infantry, September 21 to November 20, 1861; Company C as Company C, 3rd Kansas Infantry, July 24, 1861; Company D as Company D 1st Battalion Kansas Cavalry, October 19, 1861, to January 16, 1863; Company E as Company E, 1st Battalion Kansas Cavalry, October 19, 1861, to January 16, 1862. Company F organized as Kansas Home Guard October 19, 1861, to January 16, 1862, and on scout and patrol duty at Paola, Kansas. Company G for 1st Battalion Kansas Cavalry September 9, 1861 to January 16, 1862. Company H for 1st Battalion Kansas Cavalry October 22, 1861; Company I mustered in March 6, 1862. Company K mustered in July 11, 1862. Company L mustered in May 2, 1863, and Company M mustered in June 11 to August 2, 1863. The regiment mustered in for three years under the command of Colonel Edward Lynde.

title: Arsphenamine

text: Arsphenamine was originally called "606" because it was the sixth in the sixth group of compounds synthesized for testing; it was marketed by Hoechst AG under the trade name "Salvarsan" in 1910. Salvarsan was the first organic antisyphilitic, and a great improvement over the inorganic mercury compounds that had been used previously. It was distributed as a yellow, crystalline, hygroscopic powder that was highly unstable in air. This significantly complicated administration, as the drug had to be dissolved in several hundred milliliters of distilled, sterile water with minimal exposure to air to produce a solution suitable for injection. Some of the side effects attributed to Salvarsan, including rashes, liver damage, and risks of life and limb, were thought to be caused by improper handling and administration. This caused Ehrlich, who worked assiduously to standardize practices, to observe, "the step from the laboratory to the patient's bedside ... is extraordinarily arduous and fraught with danger."


title: Portuguese Pointer

text: The Portuguese Pointer (perdigueiro Português) arose from Iberian hunting dogs with its presence in Portugal traceable to the early twelfth century. Initially the dog was bred in royal kennels and later became a very popular hunting dog for the lower classes of society. In the eighteenth century, many English families established a presence in the region of Oporto in the business of wine production and came to know the Portuguese hunting breed which was taken to England where they played a part in the origin of the English pointer. However, during the nineteenth century when Portugal was experiencing considerable social hardships, the breed began a progressive decline. It was not until the 1920s when some breeders made an effort to salvage the breed by locating some of the ancient Portuguese dogs in the inaccessible north of Portugal. The Portuguese pedigree book was then established in 1932 and breed standard in 1938. For at least a thousand years, this dog has always had the same square head, a marked stop, triangular ears and compact look and since the 17th century, the same docked tail, and among pointing dogs all over the world just the perdigueiro and his "son" the English pointer have this kind of skull-facial convergence so typical.


title: Der Weg nach oben

text: The film purports to show improvements made in East Germany in the late 1940s, including land reform and steel industry developments, the founding of the Socialist Unity Party, the expropriation of war criminals and the first Five-year plan. Simultaneously it is a scathing critique of western involvement in Western Germany in the post-war years, believing that it would lead to economic oppression throughout Europe. Western Germany is depicted as being plagued by unemployment (with over 2 million people out of work), child labour, and female student prostitution. According to John Davidson and Sabne Hake, authors of Framing the Fifties: Cinema in a Divided Germany, "the film describes the most important stations of the young GDR as a 'chronicle of ascension', to quote the working title". By contrast, "the representation of West Germany aims to place the FRG in line with National Socialism, and in that tradition, as a vassal of the Western powers and a servant of imperialist politics, respectively". Davidson and Hake find this clearly illustrated in the opening moments of the film. In the film, prominent Nazis are shown at the Nuremberg trials, and a voiceover states that their work is being continued by the likes of Konrad Adenauer, Kurt Schumacher, Winston Churchill, and Harry Truman.


title: SpongeBob SquarePants season 10

text: In addition to the regular cast members, episodes feature guest voices from many ranges of professions, including actors, musicians, and artists. For instance, former Screen Actors Guild president Ed Asner voiced the grumpy old fish in "Whirly Brains". J. K. Simmons voiced Maestro Mackerel, a conductor with a short temper, in "Snooze You Lose". Mackerel is a nod to the abusive music instructor Terence Fletcher in the 2014 film Whiplash, a role for which Simmons won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Seinfeld actor John O'Hurley, who had previously voiced King Neptune in season 1's "Neptune's Spatula" and season 6's "The Clash of Triton", reprised his role for "Trident Trouble". Steve Buscemi and Joe Pantoliano guest star in "The Getaway" as two crooks. This is the first season not to feature guest appearances from Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway as the superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy; Borgnine died during production of the previous season, so their characters were retired and limited to non-speaking cameo appearances for later season 9 episodes and onwards.


title: Felix J. Aulisi

text: During his youth, he lived in Italy with his mother after his father emigrated to the United States to seek the family's fortune. At the age of 12, the future justice followed his father to the city of Amsterdam, New York, where he helped in his father's shoemaker shop. Following graduation from Union College and Albany Law School of Union University, he was admitted to the New York State Bar on September 15, 1925. He began the practice of law in Amsterdam with the law firm of Conover, Myers and Searle, where he worked for five years before entering solo practice. After serving as an assistant district attorney, Justice Aulisi commenced his judicial career first as Montgomery County Surrogate Judge, followed by his election as Montgomery County Court Judge in 1949, and then his election to the New York Supreme Court in 1952. Justice Aulisi's reelection to the Supreme Court in 1966 set a record for vote margin of victory. Justice Aulisi was appointed to the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court in 1964, where he served until his retirement in 1971.


title: Withdrawal from the United Nations

text: Nevertheless, under customary international law, there exists the principle of rebus sic stantibus, or "things standing thus." Under this principle, a state may withdraw from a treaty which has no withdrawal provisions only if there has been some substantial unforeseen change in circumstances, such as when the object of the treaty becomes moot or when a material breach is committed by a treaty party. Rebus sic stantibus has been narrowly construed (although not referred to by name) in Articles 61 and 62 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Therefore, under either customary international law or the Vienna Convention, it is unlikely that the UN would recognize the right of a state to unilaterally withdraw from the UN unless some fundamental change has occurred. The convention also acknowledges that sovereign states can repudiate a treaty and determines in which cases it's customarily acceptable. Also, Article 2 of the United Nations Charter specifically recognises "the principle of the sovereign equality" of all member states of the United Nations.


title: Withdrawal from the United Nations

text: Indonesia was the first member to attempt to withdraw from the UN. On New Year's Day, 1965, Indonesia, due to its ongoing confrontation with Malaysia, announced that it would withdraw from the UN if Malaysia were to take a seat on the Security Council. Three weeks later, Indonesia officially confirmed its withdrawal in a letter to the Secretary-General, who merely noted the decision and expressed hope that Indonesia would soon "resume full cooperation" with the organization. After a coup later that year and subsequent transition of power, Indonesia sent a telegram to the Secretary-General saying the country would "resume full cooperation with the UN and resume participation in its activities." Pointing to the telegram as proof that Indonesia saw its absence from the UN as a "cessation of cooperation" rather than a true withdrawal, the General Assembly's president recommended that the administrative procedure for reinstating Indonesia be taken with a minimum of fuss. No objections were raised, and Indonesia immediately resumed its place in the General Assembly. Thus, the questions raised by the first case of withdrawal from the UN were resolved by treating it as if it had not been a withdrawal at all.


title: Ormond Beatty

text: Beatty was born on August 13, 1815, in Mason County, Kentucky, the fourth of five sons of Sarah (née Green) and Adam Beatty. His father was a circuit court judge and a member of the Kentucky General Assembly for the Whig Party; he ran for election to the House of Representatives, unsuccessfully, in 1838. In his youth, Ormond attended the Franklin Academy, located in Washington, Kentucky, and he departed home for college in 1832. His initial destination was Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio, but changed to Centre College "at the last moment and by the merest chance", according to a biography written by Yerkes, Hays, and Blayney from the Kentucky Synod. He spent three years at Centre before graduating in 1835, as he had "been advanced" to the sophomore class while still a freshman. Before he graduated, he was offered a teaching position by President John C. Young, a position Beatty accepted but did not begin for another year. In that intervening year, he pursued further studies at Yale University under chemist Benjamin Silliman. He joined the junior class of Yale College and attended six lectures per week for a total of seven months, all taught by Silliman.


title: Ormond Beatty

text: Beatty taught until the resignation of President William L. Breckinridge in 1868. To fill the vacancy, Beatty was appointed president pro tempore. After he served in the interim role for two years, the board of trustees unanimously elected him president of the college and professor of metaphysics and political science on September 1, 1870. With this, Beatty became the first Centre president who was not a Christian minister. One of Beatty's early accomplishments as president was the construction of the Old Main Building, which began in 1870 and was completed upon the building's dedication on June 26, 1872, after a total cost of $60,000 ; Beatty was formally inaugurated on the same day. The building has since been demolished and was replaced by the Grace Doherty Library. In March 1873, the Falls City Tobacco Bank in Louisville was robbed of $300,000 ; the result was the loss of nearly $100,000 in uninsured bonds belonging to the college, leaving Centre's endowment at only $33,000 . A portion of the bonds, worth about $40,000 , was recovered relatively quickly, and Beatty led an effort to replace the rest of the stolen money which succeeded in raising over $58,000 from the community, church, and other nearby residents.


title: Ormond Beatty

text: The Ormond Beatty Prize was created by students and alumni in his honor in 1886, the fiftieth anniversary of his first year teaching at Centre. Former Congressman John Finis Philips gave the address at the presentation. Beatty attempted on multiple occasions to resign from the presidency, submitting resignations on June 15 and November 30, 1886; the latter was accepted, but did not go into effect until a successor had been secured. Although the process was protracted, William C. Young, son of former President John C. Young, was elected on June 19, 1888, to fill the role. In total, Beatty was the college's president for 18 years before leaving the office. In an effort to retain him as part of the faculty and prevent him from retiring from the college altogether, the trustees elected him to be professor of metaphysics. However, they only required him to lecture for one hour per day in order to keep him for as long as possible; this desire stemmed from his longstanding association with the college and both his skill and care as an educator. While a member of Centre's faculty, Beatty was elected to membership of Centre's chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.


title: Ormond Beatty

text: Beatty joined the Danville Presbyterian Church in 1835 and was elected a ruling elder of the church in 1844; he held this position until the opening of the Second Presbyterian Church in 1852, at which point he took the same position there. Beatty was thrice selected as a commissioner to the Presbyterian Church General Assembly: in 1855, 1866, and 1867. Siding with the Old School in the Old School–New School controversy, he was appointed to committees in 1866 and 1883 to discuss reunion with the New School Assembly and Southern Presbyterian Church, respectively. Beatty was selected as a delegate to the first and second General Councils of the Presbyterian Alliance, held in Edinburgh in 1877 and in Philadelphia in 1880. He was a director and trustee of the Danville Theological Seminary and taught biblical history and medieval and modern church history there on multiple occasions. He was also on the Board of Trustees of Caldwell College, later the Kentucky College for Women, which was located in Danville. In 1882, he was elected to be the first president of the College Educational Association of Kentucky.


title: Pteranodon sternbergi

text: The first fossils of Pteranodon sternbergi were collected by American paleontologist George F. Sternberg in 1952 from the lower portion of the Niobrara Formation. The fossils of the animal looked similar to those of the species Pteranodon longiceps, but the crests were set upright and in a slightly different position. In 1958, Sternberg and paleontologist Myrl V. Walker published a study about this peculiar find. In 1966, American paleontologist John Christian Harksen assigned the specimens found as a new species of Pteranodon called P. sternbergi due to its distinct upright crest that set it apart from P. longiceps. Halsey W. Miller however, concluded a revision of the different species of Pteranodon in 1971, and created three different subgenera. One of which was Sternbergia, which consisted of the Pteranodon specimens with upright crests. P. sternbergi was assigned to this subgenus along with another species called P. walkeri, but Miller then found out that the name Sternbergia had been preoccupied, so he changed it into Geosternbergia instead. Paleontologists like S. Christopher Bennett consider P. sternbergi to be older than P. longiceps, and therefore the direct ancestor of that species.


title: Pteranodon sternbergi

text: The most complete example of the species, currently in the collections of the University of Alberta Laboratory for Vertebrate Paleontology as specimen number UALVP 24238, is a partially-articulated sub-adult fossil with a wingspan of about 4 meters (13 ft). The skeleton is missing only parts of the skull and the ends of the wings and feet, was discovered in 1974 near Utica, Kansas. The fossil was found by Richard C. Fox and Allen Lindoe in rocks belonging to the lower part of the Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation. These rocks date to the late Coniacian or early Santonian stage, about 86 million years ago. In 2010, a paper by Alexander W.A. Kellner argued that this specimen was different enough from G. sternbegi that it should be re-classified as its own genus and species, which he named Dawndraco kanzai. This generic name combined the Dawn deity of the Iroquois with a Latin draco, "dragon". The specific name refers to the Kanza tribe of Kansas. Kellner thought that several features of the skeleton supported his hypothesis that D. kanzai was a unique species, most notably its unique snout, which does not strongly taper towards the tip as in female Pteranodon specimens, with the upper and lower margins running almost parallel instead. Kellner thought this meant the specimen must have had a crest running along the length of the snout. However, a re-examination of the fossil published in 2017 by Elizabeth Martin-Silverstone and colleagues argued that the differences in the snout were more likely due to male pteranodontids having longer, broader bills than the more complete female specimens Kellner used for comparison. Martin-Silverstone concluded that "Dawndraco" was simply a male P. sternbergi with a very long bill with a gradual taper.


title: Winsford

text: The Winsford Flashes are the town's most notable geographical feature. In referring to them as the "Cheshire Broads", a comparison is made with the better-known Norfolk Broads. "Flash" is an English dialect word for "lake", with a regional distribution centred on the northwest counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. The Winsford Flashes (Top Flash, Middle Flash, and Bottom Flash, the largest) are three lakes along the course of the River Weaver, extending over some 200 acres (80 hectares). They formed in the 19th century , due to the subsidence of surface ground into underground voids. The voids were largely the result of brine extraction, in which rock salt deposits were dissolved and washed out by water. As the ground slumped into the voids, the River Weaver widened at each point, until lakes were made where arable land had once been. From the late 19th century, Winsford Flashes became popular with working class day-trippers from the nearby industrial centres of Manchester and the Staffordshire Potteries. Visitors came in large numbers for a day's leisure boating, picknicking, and sightseeing.


title: Hope Solo

text: Solo is regarded as one of the top female goalkeepers of all time and currently holds the U.S. record for most career clean sheets. She was the starting goalkeeper for the majority of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup and helped lead the U.S. national team to the semifinals having given up only two goals in four games, including three consecutive shutouts. After a controversial move made by head coach Greg Ryan to bench Solo in favor of veteran goalkeeper Briana Scurry for the semifinal, in which the United States was defeated 4–0 by Brazil, Solo made headlines with post-game remarks that resulted in many teammates shunning her. She later rebounded to help the United States win gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics. During the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, her goalkeeping skills were highlighted, especially during a quarter-final match against Brazil, which the U.S. won on penalty kicks. Although the team lost to Japan in a match that ended in penalties, Solo received the Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper as well as the Bronze Ball award for her overall performance at the tournament.


title: Hope Solo

text: On January 19, 2013, it was announced that Solo was one of three members from the United States national team, along with Megan Rapinoe and Amy Rodriguez, allocated to the Seattle Reign FC for the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League, as part of the NWSL Player Allocation. Two months later, it was reported that she was undergoing wrist surgery and would miss about half the season because of recovery. Joining news that Amy Rodriguez would be out for the season because of pregnancy and Megan Rapinoe would be returning mid-season after a six-month stint for Olympique Lyonnais, the Reign faced a tough first half of the season and went 0–9–1 in their first ten games. With the return of Solo, Rapinoe, and some additional lineup changes made during the early summer, the Reign turned their regular season record around and finished the season in seventh place with a 5–14–3 record. Solo started in all 14 matches in which she played with a 1.357 goals against average. She made 81 saves and tallied 1,260 minutes in goal.
