He served as President of Hampden-Sydney College from 1992–2000 and as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from May 1976-August 1977; for his foundational work in doctrine for low intensity conflict, where he coined the term "counterinsurgency" (COIN); and for facilitating the drafting and passage of the Nunn-Cohen Amendment to the 1987 Defense Authorization Act, effectively creating the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (ASD/SOLIC). He is also credited with helping to create Delta Force, the U.S. Army's premier counterterrorism unit. As a general officer, some of his assignments included: Assistant Division Commander (Operations), 82nd Airborne Division; (First) United States Defense Attaché to the Soviet Union; Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence for the Intelligence Community; and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

<mask> joined the 116th Infantry Regiment, (Virginia National Guard) as a 16-year-old private bugler in June 1940. By early 1942, he had become successively a squad leader, platoon sergeant and acting first sergeant before being sent to Infantry Officer Candidate School (OCS), where he graduated as an 18-year-old second lieutenant at the head of his class and was selected to remain at The Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia, as an instructor. As a young officer, <mask> taught guerilla and counterguerilla tactics at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1942 and 1943.In 1943, already a first lieutenant at the age of 19, he joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and subsequently responded to a presidential call for volunteers for "a dangerous and hazardous mission" to be undertaken by an elite regimental-sized unit. This move resulted in his becoming chief reconnaissance officer for the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), better known as Merrill's Marauders, which operated behind enemy lines in Burma during World War II. His role in that theater was later memorialized in Charlton Ogburn's book The Marauders, which subsequently was made into the 1962 film Merrill's Marauders (film). Then-Lt. Col. <mask> served as technical advisor for the film and was cast as General Merrill's deputy "Bannister" under the pseudonym <mask>; he also appeared in the film trailer introducing the film and narrating the trailer. Upon returning to the US from the China-Burma- India Theater as a combat veteran in fall 1944 with his fifth consecutive appointment in hand to the US Military Academy, <mask> was denied

He was shifted from this post in late 1969 to the position of Assistant Commandant of the newly named US Army John F. Kennedy Institute for Military Assistance (formerly the US Army Special Warfare School), where he again worked on doctrinal concepts pertaining to the role and mission of US military advisors—especially in insurgency, counter-insurgency and nation building environments—and played a key role in the establishment of the Military Assistance Officers Program (MAOP), which subsequently was merged with the Army's Foreign Area Specialist Training Program (FASTP) under the designation Foreign Area Officers Program (FAOP).

(He reportedly was the CIA Chief of Station during that same period.) A former US Marine corporal recalls in an article that <mask> knew each embassy Marine by name and was considered "our general" by the Marine contingent there.General <mask>'s 1971–73 tour in Moscow was marked by his achievement of marked professional rapport with senior officers of the Soviet military high command. His near-native fluency in Russian, plus that he earlier had majored in Russian and Soviet history—especially military history—and had practically memorized the major battles on the Soviet-German front during the course of World War II, provided a fortuitous entré into Soviet military circles on which he fully capitalized. His insights into Soviet strategic and doctrinal thinking gained thereby were subsequently recognized as critically useful to policy makers and planners of the US national security establishment. <mask> returned to the US, and between 1973 and 1976 held positions in the Defense Intelligence Agency as Deputy Director for Estimates and Deputy Director for Attaché Affairs, followed by an assignment in the rank of lieutenant general as Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence for the Intelligence Community (D/DCI/IC.)

The revelation of true intelligence secrets makes exciting reading in the morning paper. It is soon forgotten by most readers, but not by our adversaries.Enormously complex and expensive technical intelligence collection systems can be countered. Need I remind this particular audience that dedicated and courageous men and women who risk their lives to help America can be exposed and destroyed? I don't think the American people want this to happen especially when our adversaries dedicated to the proposition that we eventually must be defeated-are hard at work. But Americans must understand or they will inadvertently cause this to happen. [O]ur primary function is to provide the leadership of this nation with the deepest possible understanding of the military, political, social, and economic climate of countries that affect vital American interests. Our mission is to see that our leaders know about what may happen in the world beyond our borders and about the forces and factors at work there. The American taxpayer should know we do this job well, despite our problems.<mask> is also credited with the statement "Ninety percent of intelligence comes from open sources. The other ten percent, the clandestine work, is just the more dramatic. The real intelligence hero is Sherlock Holmes, not James Bond."

When he expressed interest and enthusiasm in studying, his mother encouraged him to go for further study. His all uncles and brothers were famous in every religious stage and they were conscious to strengthen the Islamic superiority of yore.The Muslim ulama issued anti- British fatwa (Shareeth based decree), denouncing the material education, but his brother Kutyamma Sahib exuded enough courage to enroll him in school located at Calicut and there he learnt three languages, Malayalam Sanskrit and

Debate of Inul Qibla is the main incident in Kerala Muslim history in which <mask> exuded his stance bravely . After his service in Mayyazi, he was drawn  to Pulikkal by inspiration of Koyakutti Sahib, a pious and mystic scholar of Islam and also his dominant disciple. During his stay at Pullika he examined the direction of Qibla based on Risalathul Marideen, the work done by Ahmed Aleef, his instructor. After the skill full probe, he concluded that the foundation of Masjid was not laid on the exact direction of Qibla and he appointed some of his student to examine the status of other Masjid also. The appointed student also reached to the same conclusion after the thorough investigation. This incident caused to get a flying start in classifying Muslim scholars into two categories. The first group scholar argued that there is no compulsory to direct to the exact direction of Qibla, but to direct to its part (west part for Keralite ) is enough.Another team including <mask> Haji insists that from Calicut, people should turn their face to south northern part at 22o correctly, otherwise the Namaz became in veil. In the wake of these problems, a famous debate between such a two separate categories of Ulama was held at Pulikkal in September 1908 and it became ever mentioned incident in the history of Kerala Muslims. Koyakutti Sahib who invited <mask> to Pulikkal turned against him and pious leaders like Kolloly Ahmed Kutti Musliyar, Yusuf Musliyar, and Kutti Ahmed Musliyar of Thattankara also did so. But then Qazi of Kasaragod, Abdulla Moulavi and Hajji's other disciples backed up him to strengthen this ideas and this unforgettable incident later called as debate or dispute of Inul Qibla. To prove his idea, he wrote a book known as Al Dahava

During his stay at Nalllath, the educational revolution erupted in every parts of Kerala and he felt the need of Arabic- Malayalam reformation to ease the difficulties of students to read books.He began to reform of Arabic–Malayalam script in order to ease the difficulties of his student to read the contemporary subject  and to edit some mistakes committed by Sayyid Sanaulla Makti Thangal, who also ventured to such a reform. There were so many people who came forward to reform the Arabic-Malayalam script like Sayyid Sanaulla Makti Thangal (1847–1932), Suleiman Musliyar of Alapuza,Mohammed Abdul Khader Moulavi of Vakkom (1873-1932). But the most considerable and famous reformation in this field belongs to Chalilakath kuunahmed Haji, because all keralites themselves chased and recognized the Chalilakath's reformation and he was called as reformer of Arabic-Malayalam script. Muhammad Abdul Kareem says that "on Hijra 1137, <mask> aimed to reform the latter. He wrote it in book and named it as Thasheel Ul Furooq. This was printed in Malharul Muhimmath on 1312h.

In 1915 after the deaths in World War I of two parishioners and the Priory's garden boy, who had been adopted by the Dominican Brothers, Father <mask> sought to memorialize these men. A Wayside Cross was placed on high ground by the side of the road running by the Priory. The cross came to memorialize not only the fallen residents of the village, but soldiers from South Africa, Australia, Canada and France.Dedicated on 3 June 1917, it was likely the first World War I memorial erected in Britain. On its centennial anniversary the memorial was rededicated, the Princess Royal and other local dignitaries attending. <mask> died in Edinburgh on 23 November 1946. A memorial volume was published as Kieran Mulvey, <mask> of the Order of Preachers (London: Blackfriars Publications, 1954). Publications

<mask> (29 June 1903 – 7 June 1942) was an English electronics engineer, notable for his many inventions in telecommunications, sound recording, stereophonic sound, television and radar. He received 128 patents and was considered one of the most significant engineers and inventors of his time. He died during World War II on 7 June 1942, aged 38, during the secret trial of an H2S airborne radar system then under development, when all on board the Halifax bomber in which he was flying were killed when it crashed at Welsh Bicknor in Herefordshire. Early life
<mask> was born on 29 June 1903 in Hampstead, London. His father, <mask>, was a German-born naturalised British subject. Semmy was the son of <mask>, a German of Jewish descent, and Philippine Hellmann, a French woman of German descent. <mask>'s mother, Jessie Dower, was Scottish, daughter of William Dower (born 1837) who went to South Africa for the London Missionary Society.<mask> was christened as a Presbyterian; he later married in a Church of England parish church. <mask>'s future career seemed to have been determined by the age of seven, when he presented his father with an invoice for repairing the doorbell, signed "<mask>, Electrical Engineer" (with "paid" scrawled in pencil). His sister claimed that he could not read proficiently until he was 12. He replied "no, but I knew a lot of quadratic equations!" After leaving Highgate School in 1921, he studied at City and Guilds College (part of Imperial College). He won a Governors' scholarship and joined the second year of the course. He graduated with a First-Class Honours BSc two years later.In mid-1930, <mask> met Doreen

 Lane, a preparatory school teacher five years his junior. After two-and-a-half years of courtship the two were married in 1933. Lane was warned by acquaintances before the wedding that, "There was a joke amongst some of his friends, they used to call it 'Blumlein-itis' or 'First Class Mind'. It seems that he didn't want to know anyone who didn't have a first class mind." Recording engineer Joseph B. Kaye, known as J. B. Kaye, who was <mask>'s closest friend and best man at the wedding, thought the couple were well matched. Career and inventions

Telecommunications
In 1924 <mask> started his first job at International Western Electric, a division of the Western Electric Company.The company subsequently became International Standard Electric Corporation and then, later on, Standard Telephones and Cables (STC). During his time there, he measured the amplitude/frequency response of human ears, and used the results to design the first weighting networks. In 1924 he published (with Professor Edward Mallett) the first of his only two IEE papers, on high-frequency resistance measurement. This won him the IEE's Premium award for innovation. The following year he wrote (with Norman Kipping) a series of seven articles for Wireless World. In 1925 and 1926, <mask> and John Percy Johns designed an improved form of loading coil which reduced loss and crosstalk in long-distance telephone lines. These were used until the end of the analogue telephony era.The same duo also invented an improved form of AC measurement bridge which became known as the Blumlein Bridge and subsequently the transformer ratio arm bridge. These two inventions were the basis

 for <mask>'s first two patents. His inventions while working at STC resulted in another five patents, which were not awarded until after he left the company in 1929. Sound recording
In 1929 <mask> resigned from STC and joined the Columbia Graphophone Company, where he reported directly to general manager Isaac Shoenberg. His first project was to find a method of disc cutting that circumvented a Bell patent in the Western Electric moving-iron cutting head then used, and on which substantial royalties had to be paid. He invented the moving-coil disc cutting head, which not only got around the patent but offered greatly improved sound quality. He led a small team which developed the concept into a practical cutter.The other principal team members were Herbert Holman and Henry "Ham" Clark. Their work resulted in several patents. Early in 1931, the Columbia Graphophone Company and the Gramophone Company merged and became EMI. New joint research laboratories were set up at Hayes and <mask> was officially transferred there on 1 November the same year. During the early 1930s <mask> and Herbert Holman developed a series of moving-coil microphones, which were used in EMI recording studios and by the BBC at Alexandra Palace. Ultra-linear amplifier
In June 1937, Blumlein patented what is now known as the Ultra-Linear amplifier (US Patent 2,218,902,
dated 5 June 1937). A deceptively simple design, the circuit provided a tap on the primary winding of the output transformer to provide feedback to the second grid, which improved the amplifier's linearity.With the tap placed at the anode end of the primary winding, the tube (valve) is effectively

 connected as a triode, and if the tap was at the supply end, as a pure pentode. <mask> discovered that if the tap was placed at a distance 15–20% down from the supply end of the output transformer, the tube or valve would combine the positive features of both the triode and the pentode design. Long-tailed pair
<mask> may or may not have invented the long-tailed pair, but his name is on the first patent (1936). The long-tailed pair is a form of differential amplifier that has been popular since the days of the vacuum tube (valve). It is now more pervasive than ever, as it is particularly suitable for implementation in integrated circuit form, and almost every operational amplifier integrated circuit contains at least one. Stereophonic sound

In 1931, Blumlein invented what he called "binaural sound", now known as stereophonic sound. In early 1931, he and his wife were at the cinema.The sound reproduction systems of the early talkies only had a single set of speakers – the actor might be on one side of the screen, but the voice could come from the other. <mask> declared to his wife that he had found a way to make the sound follow the actor. <mask> explained his ideas to Isaac Shoenberg in the late summer of 1931. His earliest notes on the subject are dated 25 September 1931, and his patent had the title "Improvements in and relating to Sound-transmission, Sound-recording and Sound-reproducing Systems". The application was dated 14 December 1931, and was accepted on 14 June 1933 as UK patent number 394,325. The patent covered numerous ideas in stereo, some of which are used today. Some 70 claims include:

 A "shuffling" circuit, which


title: Alan Blumlein

texts:
 aimed to preserve the directional effect when sound from a spaced pair of microphones was reproduced via stereo loudspeakers instead of a pair of headphones
 The use of a coincident pair of velocity microphones with their axes at right angles to each other, which is still known as a "Blumlein Pair"
 Recording two channels in the single groove of a record using the two groove walls at right angles to each other and 45 degrees to the vertical
 A stereo disc-cutting head
 Using hybrid transformers to matrix between left and right signals and sum and difference signals

<mask>'s binaural experiments began in early 1933, and the first stereo discs were cut later the same year.Much of the development work on this system for cinematic use was completed by 1935. In <mask>'s short test films (most notably, "Trains at Hayes Station", which lasts 5 minutes 11 seconds, and, "The Walking & Talking Film"), his original intent of having the sound follow the actor was fully realised. In 1934, <mask> recorded Mozart's Jupiter Symphony conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham at Abbey Road Studios in London using his vertical-lateral technique. Television
Television was developed by many individuals and companies throughout the 1920s and 1930s. <mask>'s contributions, as a member of the EMI team, started in earnest in 1933 when his boss, Isaac Shoenberg, assigned him full-time to TV research. His ideas included:
Resonant flyback scanning (the use of a tuned circuit in the creation of a sawtooth deflection waveform). (British Patent No.400976, application filed April 1932.) Use of constant-impedance network in power supplies to obtain voltage regulation

 independent of load frequency, extending down to DC (421546, filed 16 June 1933). Black-level clamping (422914, filed 11 July 1933 by Blumlein, Browne and Hardwick). This is an improved form of DC restoration, compared to the simple DC restorer (consisting of a capacitor, diode and resistor) which had been patented by Peter Willans three months earlier. The slot antenna. (515684, filed 7 March 1939.) <mask> was also largely responsible for the development of the waveform structure used in the 405-line Marconi-EMI system – developed for the UK's BBC Television Service at Alexandra Palace, the world's first scheduled "high definition" (240 lines or better) television service – which was later adopted as the CCIR System A.

H2S radar

<mask> was so central to the development of the H2S airborne radar system (to aid bomb targeting), that after his death in June 1942, many believed that the project would fail.However it survived and was a factor in shortening the Second World War. <mask>'s role in the project was a closely guarded secret at the time and consequently only a brief announcement of his death was made some two years later, to avoid providing solace to Hitler. His invention of the line type pulse modulator (ref vol 5 of MIT Radiation Laboratory series) was a major contribution to high-powered pulse radars, not just the H2S's system, and continues to be used today. Death and investigation

<mask> was killed in the crash of an H2S-equipped Handley Page Halifax test aircraft while making a test flight for the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) on 7 June 1942. During the flight from RAF Defford, whilst at an altitude


title: Alan Blumlein

texts: of 500 ft (150  meters) the Halifax developed an engine fire which rapidly grew out of control. The aircraft was seen to lose altitude, then rolled inverted and struck the ground. The crash occurred near the village of Welsh Bicknor in Herefordshire.Two of <mask>'s colleagues, Cecil Oswald Browne and Frank Blythen, also died in the crash. The Halifax was carrying a highly-secret cavity magnetron as part of the H2S test system, and the immediate recovery of the device was essential. A team led by Bernard Lovell arrived at the crash scene the same night, and took the magnetron. "Then reports of a crash in south Wales began to come in and the rest of that night was just a nightmare. I was driven by the C-in-C of the aerodrome [Defford], a man called King, and winding through these lanes near Ross-on-Wye searching for this wreckage, and then the field with the burnt-out Halifax, and of course it was wartime, there was no time for emotions, our first duties were to search for the precious highly-secret equipment, and collect the bits-and-pieces of it." – Bernard Lovell. After the RAF investigative board completed its report on the Halifax crash on 1 July 1942, it was distributed to a restricted list of approved recipients, but not publicly divulged.In the interests of wartime secrecy, the announcement of Blumlein's death was not made for another three years. The investigative board, headed by AIB Chief Inspector Vernon Brown – who later also investigated the post-war Star Tiger and Star Ariel disappearances – and assisted by Rolls-Royce, who had made the Halifax's Merlin engines, found that the crash was caused by engine fire,

 that a sufficient number of parachutes were either not on board or were not being worn.Almost immediately following the crash, Prime Minister Churchill issued a directive requiring any test flights with civilians or scientific personnel to carry a sufficient number of parachutes for all individuals involved. After the RAF investigative board completed its report on the Halifax crash, it was ordered to be kept secret by Prime Minister Churchill, and the cause of the crash was not revealed publicly, even to the relatives of the deceased. As a result, numerous unfounded rumours of German sabotage as the cause of the crash would circulate for many years afterwards. Personal life
<mask> had two sons, <mask> and <mask>. Outside his work <mask> was a lover of music and he attempted to learn to play the piano, but gave it up. He enjoyed horse riding and occasionally went cub hunting with his father-in-law. He was interested in many forms of engineering, including aviation, motor engineering and railway engineering.He obtained a pilot's licence and flew Tiger Moth aircraft of the London Aerodrome Club at Stag Lane Aerodrome. On one occasion, he persuaded a bus driver to allow him to drive the vehicle from Penzance to Land's End. On another he spent several hours assisting the operator of a railway signal box in his duties at Paddington Station. Tributes

<mask> (born 17 February 1991 in Chicago, United States) is an American-born Nigerian sprinter who specializes in the 400 metres. She represented Nigeria at the 2012 Summer Olympics and was the silver medallist at the African Championships in 2012. Personal
Her father Phillips is Nigerian, and moved to the US on an athletic scholarship. Her paternal grandfather was from Onitsha while her grandmother is from Rivers State, Nigeria. Her mother is a former Venezuelan 400 m athlete, Florencia Chilberry. <mask>'s parents were both scholarship track and field athletes at Wichita State. <mask> competed in Chicago Park District meets as a child and ran a mile in 6:13 when she was nine years old.She has one older sibling and three younger siblings. In 2014, she and Inika McPherson announced on social media that they are in a relationship. Career

As a junior athlete, <mask> represented the United States at the 2010 World Junior Championships. She placed seventh in the 400 m final. She later anchored the United States 4 × 400 m team to a gold medal ahead of the Nigerian team which placed second. At this championship meet, <mask> expressed her desire to run for Nigeria (whose team finished a half second behind her for the silver medal) to the Nigerian coach, Gabriel Okon. She began to compete for Nigeria in 2012, ahead of the African Championships and London Olympics.As a collegiate athlete for the University of Arkansas, <mask> won six 4 × 400 m SEC titles, three indoor and three outdoor titles. She was also the SEC individual 400 m champion in 2012 and 2013. She anchored the Razorbacks to the NCAA 4 × 400 m outdoor title in 2013. She placed second behind Shaunae Miller in the 400 m final at the 2013 NCAA

She later helped the Razorback 4 × 400 m team to a second-place finish in the final. As at 2015, <mask> remains tied with Ryan Tolbert as the highest scoring 400 m athlete who never won an NCAA indoor title.<mask> became the 2012 Nigerian champion and went on to win a silver medal in the individual 400 m event behind reigning world champion Amantle Montsho, at the 2012 African Championships. At the 2012 London Olympics, <mask> won her 400 m heat in 51.24s but could only manage a fifth-place finish in her semifinal and missed out in the final. She returned for the 4 × 400 m heats and later ran the third leg for the Nigerian team in the final. The team who initially finished in seventh place were disqualified for a lane infringement during the change over between Odumosu and <mask>. 2013
In 2013, <mask> dipped under 51 s for the first time at the Nigeria Athletics Championships in Calabar. She ran 50.99 to claim the national title ahead of Patience <mask>. This set the scene for the rest of her season.At the Moscow World Championships, she produced a personal best of 50.84 to place third in her semifinal but still missed out on a final spot. She returned for the relays and produced a sub 50 split to get Nigeria an automatic qualifying spot for the 4 × 400 m final. The team later placed sixth in the final with <mask> running another sub 50 split. At the 2013 Penn relays, she had also run the fastest split of the entire meet. 2014

As the fastest in qualifying, she was one of the favourites for the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but withdrew from the semi-final due to leg cramps.At the 2014 maiden edition of the IAAF World Relays in Nassau, Bahamas, she ran the fastest split during the final of the 4 × 400 m relay. The Nigerian team consisting of Sade Abugan, <mask>, Omolara Omotoso and Patience <mask> finished in third place behind the USA and Jamaica. At the 2014 Nigerian Track and Field Championships in Calabar, she was favoured to defend the National title which she had won the two previous years. She ran the fastest qualifying time in the semifinals. Surprisingly, she placed fourth in the final behind her teammates from the 2014 world relay quartet. Former world junior champion, Sade Abugan claimed the National title. Abugan would later become the African champion in 2014.<mask> ran during the heats and finals of the 4 × 400 m at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The team consisting of Patience <mask>, <mask>, Ada Benjamin and Sade Abugan, won the silver medal behind the Jamaican team.

texts:
Colonel <mask> (also spelled Scarburgh) (September 1617 – 1671) was an influential early settler of Virginia and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1642 to 1671. Early life and family
<mask> was born in England. His father, Capt. <mask> (1584–1635), was a barrister and graduate of Caius College, and an army captain, who immigrated to Virginia about 1621. He settled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia with his family around 1628, and represented the Accomac Shire in the Virginia General Assembly in the 1630s. A brother, Sir <mask>, remained in England, became a noted mathematician, studied medicine, and was a founding member of the Royal Society. A Royalist, he served as physician to Kings Charles II and James II after the Restoration.It is said that <mask>'s eldest son would drown as an adult in the York River on September 21, 1739, though these dates do not line up and there is no name attached to this legend. Career
<mask> was one of the most prominent of the early English settlers of the Accomac Shire of the Virginia Colony, now the Eastern Shore of Virginia. On April 28, 1651, <mask> led a raid of some fifty men, on the nearby Pocomoke Indian village along the northern boundary of Accomac Shire, after convincing the settlers that the Indians planned to attack. At least one historian doubts the veracity of his story and suggested that he may have invented the story in order to raise enough men for the attack on the village. After the settlers captured some of the villagers and bound two of them in chains, the Indians massed along the border, and

texts: it was believed they were about to attack the English. In May all the men involved in the action were called to appear in court, including Ambrose Dixon, to account for their actions. <mask> was exonerated, however, when the court found that his raid had been justified by the circumstances.<mask> at various times served as Speaker of the House of Burgesses, on the Governor's Council, county sheriff, lawyer, planter, surveyor, firearms dealer, cattle rancher, merchant, ship owner, Accomack Justice, and militia colonel. He employed Indians to herd his livestock while at the same time selling guns to them and condemning them in the General Assembly for obtaining firearms. In the 1650s when England was at war with the Dutch, one of <mask>'s ships was seized en route to other colonies for trade. He retaliated by seizing a Prussian ship of similar size, no matter that it was not of Dutch ownership. In 1652, <mask> sold his seven ships (Deliverance, Mayflower, King David, Sea Horse, Holly Horse, Ann Clear, and Artillery) to William Burton of Boston. He also incited a scandal among a local parson to deflect criticism about his own lack of morals. Near the end of his career, <mask> helped survey the border between the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the Calvert-Scarborough Line, moving it substantially northwards to keep his own holdings within the colony of Virginia.In 1657, <mask> forged a letter in which his black neighbor, Anthony Johnson’, acknowledged a debt. Johnson did not contest the case. Johnson was illiterate and could not

texts: have written the letter; nevertheless, the court awarded Scarborough 100 acres (40 ha) of Johnson’s land to pay off his alleged "debt". A familiar tradition on the Eastern Shore holds that he once called local Indians to a great feast where he reported the Great Spirit would speak to them. The Indians dared not disobey, and when they assembled Scarborough fired on them from an artillery piece hidden nearby. This most likely took place in Northampton County in 1671. This was <mask>'s way of eliminating enemies and dispersing the local tribes, as well as consolidating his power in the two counties of Accomack and Northampton (which at various times were combined to form one county).By 1663 Col. <mask> had become an enemy of the Quakers located in Accomack County, Virginia (including Ambrose Dixon). After the group of Quakers moved to Maryland where they were offered more religious freedom, Col. <mask> used his positions as commander of His Majesty's Forces on Virginia's Eastern Shore and Surveyor-General of the Virginia Colony to lead a force of men into Maryland and claim the area for Virginia. <mask>'s main adversary, Colonel Obedience Robbins (from Northamptonshire, England), served as a foil to "King" <mask> during the forty years that he was in power on the Eastern Shore. It is said that the two counties were finally created by the two arch rivals because they did not wish to live in the same municipality; hence, Northampton and Accomack Counties. Robbins also served as a burgess with <mask> and sought to nullify any attempts by his crafty nemesis to

 cause trouble on the Eastern Shore, whether it be with local Indians or with local government. <mask> also took a mistress named Ann Toft (1643–1687). Ann lived in Accomack from at least 1660 as a femme sole and was probably the wealthiest woman in Accomack due to her association with <mask>.Ann bore three daughters during the 1660s who were probably fathered by <mask>. Scarborough set Toft up in business at a plantation known as Gargaphia on present day Gargathy Neck in northern Accomack County (seaside). This  of land was transferred from Scarborough to her in Feb. 1664 when Ann was 21. Gargaphia, as it was known, shows up on many maritime maps of the time and would have been a convenient stopping point for sailors and a good embarkation point for Scarborough's many products and crops. Ann married Daniel Jenifer soon after Scarborough's death from smallpox in 1671. Scarborough's main residence was a property in Accomack County on Occahannock Creek known as Hedra Cottage. Although the original house is gone, a later one stands in its place.When <mask> died after 1671 he was buried there but it is thought that his gravestone was removed by friends to keep his enemies from desecrating his remains. A modern marker has been placed on the grounds. Notes

<mask> (October 31, 1820 – October 4, 1860) was state senator, the 12th lieutenant governor, and the 11th governor of the U.S. state of Indiana. His terms in office were marked by increasingly severe partisanship leading to the breakup of the state Democratic Party in the years leading up to the American Civil War. His brother-in-law John Edwin Cook was involved in John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, and was executed. <mask> went to the south to advocate unsuccessfully for his release, and became despised by southerners who accused him of having a secret involvement in the raid. He died two months before the start of the war while giving a speech on national unity, and was the first governor of Indiana to die in office. Early life

Family and background
<mask> was born on October 31, 1820, in Oneida County, New York, the son of Erastus and <mask>. His father farmed and was the county sheriff.There he attended Hamilton College and studied law with Judge Barker. He moved to Marshall, Michigan, in 1842 and lived there for about a year. In 1843 he made a trip to Texas on horseback and on his return stopped in Carrolton, Kentucky; he so liked the town he settled there for a year and became a local school teacher. After living there about a year there he moved again to Louisville, Kentucky, where he continued teaching. In his spare time he read and studied. In the 1844 election <mask>, a Democrat, stumped all around the Louisville area and southern Indiana for <mask> who ultimately won the election. While on the stump the people of New Albany, Indiana, so liked him that they invited him to come live in their community.He accepted their offer and moved there in the spring of 1845 and set up a law office.

The couple had three children, but the oldest, <mask> P<mask> Jr. died from scarlet fever at age three. New Albany remained <mask>'s home for the rest of his life. Legislator
In 1849 <mask> became a New Albany councilman, furthering his local popularity. In 1850 he was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives as New Albany's representative.He chaired the states Ways and Means Committee, became Speaker of the House. His rapid progress quickly led him to become a leader in the state Democratic Party. In the General Assembly he was known for his wit and oratory, and won most debates he entered. In 1852 he was nominated to the candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana at the state Democratic Convention. His quick rise in the party was attributed to his exceptional oratory and political skills. The ticket won, in large part because of the stumping of <mask>, and he served with Governor Joseph A. Wright. <mask> was bitterly antagonistic towards the Know-Nothing party, newly formed from disaffected Whigs, the Free Soil Party, and the Liberty Party.His derision toward them in the Senate created problems for him when its member later joined the Republican Party. During his time as President of the Senate, the senate was closely split between the parties. When the measure to enter a joint session to elect a new United States Senator, the Senate had a tie vote. Knowing that given the number of Know-Nothings in the House they would be a majority in a joint session, <mask> refused to break the tie and Indiana remained several

Campaign
In 1856 <mask> was nominated to run as the Democratic Candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket. He was opposed in the election by Oliver P. Morton, the most influential man among the Know-Nothing opposition. The remnants of the Whig party supported his bid and did not field their own candidate.The election was referred to as the "battle of the Giants", and was one of the most divisive in the history of the state. Both men being among the most astute politicians in the history of the state. The state Democratic party had been undergoing a major division during the two years preceding the campaign. The former Governor Wright was very unpopular with the party's leadership, and party leader Jesse D. Bright. Wright and other members were expelled from the party when they failed to support the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which the leaders treated as a loyalty test. Many of the expelled and their constituents launched numerous personal attacks against <mask>. Much like the nation, Indiana had split along northern and southern lines.Resident of southern Indiana, who were predominantly of southern ancestry, went democrat. Northern Indiana resident who were dominantly of northern origin, voted for the Know-Nothings. <mask> won the close election by about six thousand votes. Deadlock
Shortly after his election, <mask> traveled to a Mississippi governors' meeting where he openly voiced his support for state-rights, southern slavery, and the Fugitive Slave Law. His statements caused an uproar in Indiana among his adversaries. <mask>'s term was marked with severe partisanship and in-fighting in the Democratic Party. The Know-Nothing Party fell apart during the

In 1857 mid-term elections, the Republicans gained control of the Senate, and the Democrats retook the House after absorbing the remaining Whigs. The state still only had one US Senator, and the governor was hoping to have the assembly elect one, and nominate Jesse D. Bright to return to the Senate. The opposition was more hostile to Bright, primarily because of his actions regarding slavery. The Republicans were still angry over <mask>'s blocking their Senate pick, so the Senate decided to reciprocate his actions, refusing to enter the joint session necessary to elect a senator. <mask> instructed the Democrats to meet without the Republicans and elect a Senator anyway. The dubious legality of the issue was considered outrageous by the Republicans and raised the tension to a fever pitch.In 1857 the move by pro-slavery forced in Kansas to legalize slavery caused a stir nationwide. <mask> came out in support of the pro-slavery position, and supported President James Buchanan or Stephen Douglas. The event was the breaking point for the state's Democratic party. Most of the party's newspapers came out strongly against <mask>, and numerous members began to switch to the Republican Party. In 1858 the legislature launched an investigation on the sale of public land in northeast Indiana. They discovered that over $100,000 had been embezzled by commissioners that had been appointed

 by the governor. Legislators began accusing <mask> of corruption.He ignored their attacks, but removed the commissioners. John Brown's raid

While governor, <mask>'s brother-in-law John Cook was involved in John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia (since 1863, West Virginia) , armed insurrection to free slaves in Virginia, and sentenced to death. <mask>, determined to save his brother-in-law, went to him in prison and arranged to have his cell left open so he could escape. Cook refused to be released and was subsequently executed despite <mask>'s pleas to Virginia Governor Henry A. Wise to stay his death sentence. Governor Wise accused <mask> of being behind the entire affair, claiming to have secret intelligence from Washington D.C. Wise claimed that <mask> had sought Brown's services through his brother-in-law and secretly commissioned the insurrection.<mask> was vilified in newspapers across the South and even in some part of the North. <mask> found himself on the opposite side of the slavery debate as his brother-in-law. Although Indiana was a free state, he thought Southerners should maintain the right to determine the slavery issue for their selves. Unable to run for reelection, <mask> helped ensure the nomination of Thomas A. Hendricks for governor in 1860 to run against Republican Henry S. Lane, who had Oliver Morton as a Lieutenant Governor. Death and legacy

<mask> had been in poor health for some years, and it began to deteriorate quickly in 1860. That year the Democratic Party was struggling with internal problems, and the nation was on the brink of Civil War. <mask> attended the state Democratic convention in Columbus, his last political appearance in the state.His party was so wracked

 with problems, it was proposed by a party member that the crowd give three cheers for the Republican candidates, who they believed would save the Union. <mask> quickly ascended to the podium and rebuked the crowd and begged for unity. His speech was so forceful, he quickly became more ill than ever. His lungs began hemorrhaging, but his doctors were able to stop the bleeding. Shortly after, <mask> traveled to St. Paul, Minnesota, on a tour to promote goodwill among the states. <mask> died from internal bleeding while giving a speech there on October 4, 1860. He was the first Governor of Indiana to die in office.He was laid in state in Indianapolis and his bier was attended by thousands, and buried in New Albany. His grave was unmarked until May 30, 1928, when the State of Indiana erected a gravestone after they were petitioned by the Floyd County Historical Society to appropriate $500.00 to erect a gravestone. <mask> was succeeded by his Lieutenant Governor Abram Hammond who fulfilled the final three months of his term. <mask>'s death had profound negative consequences for the state Democratic Party, who lost the election primarily because they were unable to field a new candidate very quickly, although it has been debated whether they could have won. Although he helped keep the Democrats in control of the General Assembly going into the Civil War, things quickly feel apart for his party. As the primary enforcer of party unity, the duty fell to Jesse D. Bright, who was soon caught up in scandal. Many members of the party joined the Republicans and two decades would pass before his party would regain power.See also

He worked also as translator of  philosophical texts between Spanish and German and published texts on Today's Germany and the National Socialism. <mask> is working on a productive conceptual confrontation between the Critical theory of the Frankfurt School and its contemporary further developments in Latin America, for example from the Ecuadorian-Mexican philosopher Bolívar Echeverría, trying to overcome the limitations of both: the philosophical Eurocentrism in the first case, and the reduced Critique of ideology in the second. In that context he uses also the non dogmatic interpretation of the works of Karl Marx made by the Spanish-Mexican philosopher Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez, and that made by the Horkheimer-successor Alfred Schmidt.
