# Zombies from The Beyond
## Synopsis
Act I
It\'s 1955. Ike is president, the economy is booming, and \"The Sky\'s the Limit\" at the Milwaukee Space Center. Staunch Major Malone (originally played by Michael Shelle), his aide Rick Jones (originally played by Robert Boles), secretary Charlene \"Charlie\" Osmanski (originally played by Suzanne Graff), Deli delivery boy Billy Krutzik (originally played by Jeremy Czarniak), and the Major\'s unnervingly competent daughter Mary (originally played by Claire Morkin) are all abuzz at the arrival of rocket scientist Trenton Corbett (originally played by Matt McClanahan) to the Probe Seven Control Room. Via the Probe\'s space photography equipment, the crew makes an alarming discovery on the television monitor screen: \"A Flying Saucer\".
Later at the Orbit Room Cocktail Lounge, Rick and Mary dauntlessly dance away the imminent danger (\"The Rocket-Roll\"). Trenton arrives just in time to hear the saucer buzzing the Galaxy of Coiffures Beauty Salon across the street. After impetuous Rick rushes off to investigate, Trenton attempts to calm the fears of the usually intrepid Mary (\"Second Planet on the Right\").
Back in the Control Room, a top-secret scheme is hatched to launch a crewed rocket into battle with the hovering spacemobile. Charlie is inducted to measure up the men for suitable spacewear (\"Blast Off Baby\"). Billy pesters Charlie for a date, quick, before aliens conquer the city. He taps his way into her heart with his \"Atomic Feet\" and they plan to rendezvous later that night. When the brazen saucer actually lands in the beauty salon, it\'s \"all systems go\" for new emergency procedures: Trenton will develop a weapon of mass destruction, Rick will set up a blockade at the beauty shop, and poor Charlie will man the television monitor. Shifty Rick now reveals his true color -- (red!) -- as he retrieves orders via mysterious walkie-talkie to slip Charlie a mickey and make contact with the invaders for the greater glory of his homeland (\"Big Wig\").
In Mary\'s car, Trenton -- sworn to secrecy -- breaks Mary\'s heart when he breaks their date (\"In the Stars\").
Meanwhile, at the Galaxy of Coiffures, Rick encounters Zombina (originally played by Susan Gottschalk), a buxom alien aviatrix bent on procuring he-specimens to play stud on her female-laden planet. Employing her supersonic \"Secret Weapon\" (a soprano voice so stratospheric that it zombifies), Zombina transforms Rick into a bug-eyed slave to her nefarious demands. She and her entourage of titillatingly tacky \"Zombettes\" (originally played by the rest of the cast, decked out in intentionally unconvincing \'disguises\') sound the shrill soprano war-cry of \"Zombies from The Beyond\".
Act II
Zombina\'s tirade of terror has the city on pins and needles (\"Dateline: Milwaukee\"), yet Trenton and Mary are able to terminate their tiff (\"Second Planet Reprise\"). Our heroes plan to implement Trenton\'s newly developed \'amplificator\' against subversive enemies, singing gaily: \"Don\'t just hate \'em, exterminate \'em, that\'s \"The American Way!\" Charlie emerges from her stupor and a series of spine-tingling clues leads the probe crew to a cataclysmic conclusion about Rick (\'I Am a Zombie\"). Zombina herself appears on the television monitor screen and proceeds to zombify Trenton and Malone in an amazing 3-D \"broad\"-cast. Can Mary and Charlie save Milwaukee from this menace?
Zombina, fed up with Rick\'s inability to perform up to her high standards, resolves to employ her considerable wiles in perpetrating her perverse ploys (\"The Last Man on Earth\"). Running amok in historical downtown Milwaukee, she plays demolition derby with her stratocruiser and does away with Rick once and for all.
In the chilling climax high atop the Wisconsin Gas Company Building, Mary and Charlie battle it out with Zombina (\"Breaking the Sound Barrier\"), pitting their brash belting voices against Zombina\'s coloratura quavers. All appears lost until good old Billy arrives and joins forces with the girls by adding his Geiger-counter tap-dancing to their raucous roundelay, resulting in the hideous demise of Zombina whose formerly formidable voice drops a couple octaves (She bewails: \"What a world! I\'m belting!\") Malone and Trenton are de-zombified, and Milwaukee -- (what\'s left of it) -- is saved! Stalwart Major Malone leads the survivors in a stirring hymn of patriotic paranoia, advising everyone, everywhere to \"Keep Watching the Skies\".

# Zombies from The Beyond
## Critical reception {#critical_reception}
\"Dead aim, deadpan, dead-on new musical! With keen-eyed skill to spare, it manages to spoof everything that characterized the old science-fiction B-movies, from cheesy spaceships (with visible wires and erratic flight paths that send them bumping into the sets) to cheap weaponry (an \'amplificator\' whose base is an Electrolux vacuum cleaner), stilted language (\'apprehensive\'), Cold War paranoia, condescension toward women and utter conviction in the infallibility of the United States.\"
\"A splendid surprise! This crazy satire is absolutely enchanting. The book is deliciously silly, while the music and lyrics are sveltely appropriate to subject matter and treatment. The music ranges from Doris Day/Perry Como style romanticism, to Neolithic rock and dewy doo-wop. And there is even one number, \"The American Way,\" that might have been penned by that half-savage Harvard 1950s satirist, Tom Lehrer, with its comment aimed at our nation\'s enemies: \'Don\'t just hate \'em, exterminate \'em.\' By all means see it - - it\'s 24-carat fun!\"
\"Hilarious! Superb! Marvelous! Out of this world! A droll, tongue-in-cheek book and a zippy score. The plot may be silly, but when was the last time you heard a line with the literary overtones of \'Never again will the stars glitter anonymously in the fabric of night like so many sequins on a drape\'? A dizzy musical above and beyond the call of hilarity!\"
\"Takes an irreverent look at America\'s naïve fascination with space exploration and all the Cold War paranoia that went with it. The songs are funny.\"
\"James Valcq\'s book and songs are 10 times cleverer than anything on Broadway right now! The audience is sent into seventh satire heaven. This is a scream, hoot, and holler from A to Z and will probably turn up on many theatres\' rosters thanks to its small set and cast. Zombies is the most hilarious show of 1995-96!\"
\"Genial, appealing, with an easy-listening score, circa 1955. Delightful!\"
\"This dizzy little musical written and composed by James Valcq is so spaced-out you\'ll need oxygen to get through it! \'Second Planet on the Right\', \'Atomic Feet\', and other numbers threaten to crash through the sound barrier

# Lunette (fortification)
In fortification, a ***lunette*** was originally an outwork of half-moon shape; later it became a redan with short flanks, in trace somewhat resembling a bastion standing by itself without curtains on either side. The gorge was generally open.
One noted historical example of a lunette was the one used at the Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, in March 1836. Another were the Bagration flèches, at the Battle of Borodino, in 1812

# Hood chair
A **hood chair** or **porter\'s chair** was a type of chair used originally in medieval England and later France. Usually made of wood, but sometimes formed in a high-grade leather or red velvet, it was placed by the front door of an estate or home for use by a gatekeeper servant who was in charge of screening guests and visitors. This was necessary since the door knocker might not be heard throughout the house.
Since there were often cold breezes near a front door, the chair was designed to envelop and keep the servant relatively warm in his task of remaining at the door for long periods. It could be described as a hollowed-out egg shape, with a very high and enclosed back, standing on end, four legs, with handrests and usually with a notch for a lantern at the side, allowing the person to sink back into it out of the wind and await visitors\' knocks. Notable current survivors exist at the London Branch of the Bank of England, Museum of Leathercraft, Abington, Northampton and at various antique auction houses in the UK and US

# Richard Pockrich (inventor)
**Richard Pockrich**, **Poekrich** (c.1696/7 -- 1759), or **Puckeridge**, was an Irish musician, and was the inventor of the glass harp (also known as the \"Angelic organ\") around 1741.
## Life
He was born at his family\'s estate Derrylusk at Aghnamallagh, County Monaghan, Ireland. His father, also named Richard (c.1666--1719), was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Monaghan and had commanded troops in the Williamite battles. The paternal descent was of an English family from Surrey. Some notices indicate that Poekrich was the name of the family, and this was the spelling he gave on his works. He is reported to have been aged 25 when his father died (1720?), so a probable year of birth has been fixed to 1695. Poekrich received a substantial inheritance, valued at a figure between £1,000 (Newburgh) and £4,000 (Pilkington).
Variations of his name include Puckeridge or Pokeridge, or styled as \'Captain Poekrich\' in contemporary notices. His unsuccessful ventures included a brewery in Dublin, near Islandbridge, the tale of its decline is intertwined with that of his greatest success, his musical glasses. When bailiffs came to arrest Poekrich for his debts, he entranced them with an impromptu performance on his \"Angelic organ\'; his subsequent pardon is given as the earliest example of a belief in the psychological effect of the instrument, later adopted by Mesmer.
Another proposal was raising geese on the barren terrain of his purchases in County Wicklow. Other schemes included an observatory to pursue his interest in astrology. His imagination extended to an orchestra of various sized drums, arranged to be played by one person.
His political involvement included lobbying the Parliament of Ireland for planting vineyards by draining the Irish bogs. He also proposed the development of metal-hulled ships, some 100 years before their eventual introduction, carrying lifeboats made of tin. Despite his grand platform for election, he failed to win when he ran for Parliament (twice, 1745 Monaghan and 1749 Dublin).
An enthusiast of blood transfusion, he believed that disease could be cured and life extended by the use of healthy donors. A description of the procedure proposes the use of servants or other physically active specimens. Anticipating the problems of immortality that might result, Pockrich proposed an act decreeing that \"anyone attaining the age of 999 years shall be deemed \... dead in law\".
He made numerous other proposals, including a plan to link the River Liffey and River Shannon by a series of canals. Descriptions of his schemes might be seen as exaggeration or distortion by their dubious authorities, but records of advertisements placed by Poekrich support the number of unrealised proposals.
He also failed in his application to become Master of the Choristers of Armagh Cathedral. Unmarried until he was 50, Margaret White became his wife in 1745. She sailed from England with the actor Theophilus Cibber, apparently eloping and fleeing debt, and died in a shipwreck on the Scottish coast in 1758.
He toured England with his musical glasses since about 1756; while staying in London in 1759, he died in a fire.

# Richard Pockrich (inventor)
## Works
Pockrich eventually found success with his performances of his *musical glasses* and is credited with their invention around 1741; he first appeared with it in public at the Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, 3 May 1743. He named the instrument an \"angelic organ\". His decrepit rooms were given over to development of his design and performance of it. His early method of playing, using wooden sticks, is comparable to a similar instrument, the \"glassspiel\" or \"verrillon\", designed a few years earlier on known principles.
His \"virtuoso\" performances, accompanied by a singer, received good notices, and reported to have been a popular act. He toured around England and Ireland. His repertoire included works by Handel. The technique he used involved stroking the glass with sticks, but Franklin said he later switched to the \"wet-finger-around-the-wine-glass\" method.
One popular performance was \"Tell me, lovely Shepherd\", sung by a Miss Young. He published a collection of poetry, his *Miscellaneous Works* appearing in 1750.
The instrument was adopted by Gluck, who presented it on 23 April 1746 as \"a concerto on 26 drinking-glasses tuned with spring water\", and performances were popular for half a century. His pupils continued after the death of the originator, a performance in 1760 by one Anne Ford is mentioned in a short notice by Flood. Forde wrote an instruction manual and toured Europe and England.
Pilkington gave a description of Pockrich constructing an instrument, simulating a dulcimer, during a meeting at his home; by hammering pins and wire on the table, the visitor laid his head to hear his request for *Black Joke*.

# Richard Pockrich (inventor)
## Legacy
Poekrich is best remembered for the popularisation of musical glasses, via his promotion and influence, that he discovered in the later years of his life. Descriptions of his character --- as a proposer of \"wild\" schemes --- range from sympathetic views as \"quixotic\" to those of an \"enterprising scoundrel\".
The earliest biographical notices began with David O\'Donoghue, a brief notice in his dictionary *Poets of Ireland* (1891--93), and the same author\'s longer notice was in the *Dictionary of National Biography*, 1900, these being the first two references on the inventor and his works.
O\'Donoghue notes the autobiographical *Memoirs* of John Carteret Pilkington and also draws on the miscellaneous collection *Essays, Poetical, Moral, &c.* (1769) by Thomas Newburgh (c.1695--1779), attributing the relevant material to his father Brockhill Newburgh writing in 1743, and the early or contemporary sources in Thomas Campbell\'s *Philosophical Survey*; Conran\'s *National Music of Ireland*; the *Gentleman\'s Magazine*, 1759; and his own reference work, *Poets of Ireland*. Campbell in a notice in *A Philosophical Survey of the South of Ireland* (1776), in asserting Poekrich\'s eminence in music, stated that performances of his instrument, while lacking great force, produced the sweetest of tones.
The article appeared as the last in volume 15 of the DNB, a bibliographic quibble notes that \"Poekrich\" is the correct spelling and it should have been included in the next. The brief notice given there suggests a detail on his death.
> \"in 1759 in a fire *which broke out in his room* at Hamlin\'s Coffee-house, Sweeting\'s Alley, near the Royal Exchange, London.\" \[*emph*. added\]
O\'Donoghue expanded his work to a longer article, published as \"An Irish Musical Genius\". Like other early biographers, who repeated references in the few contemporary source, the publications of their subject were largely ignored and depended on questionable views.
Pilkington, the son of Laetitia Pilkington, sang during Pockrich\'s show and was apparently intimate during his youth, but gives no later information of him. Pilkington gives does give a later mention to \"Captain Poekrich, the glass projector\" in his memoirs, grudgingly admitting to his value as a performer when his listener recognised him and agreed to request a concert. No reply was received, as he died around that time.
Brockhill Newburgh of County Cavan was related to Pockrich, apparently making him the subject of a mocking poem, \"The Projector\", a first attempt at what would have been a 24 volume work entitled \"The Pockreiad\". The notes to this unfinished work detail the author\'s ridicule of his subject\'s notions, though he gives exception to his highly regarded musical glasses; this became a key source of information on the life of Richard Pockrich.
The elegiac text of Newburgh:
> Mourn him, ye bogs, in tears discharge your tides,\
> No more shall Pockrich tap your spongy hides;\
> Ye geese, ye ganders, cackle doleful lays,\
> No more his mountain tops your flocks shall graze;\
> Be silent, dumb, ye late harmonious glasses---\
> Free from surprise, serenely sleep, ye lasses.\
> Let drums, unbraced, in hollow murmurs tell\
> How he that waked their thunders silent fell.\
> Let tempests swell the surge, no more his boat,\
> Secure from wreck, shall on the billows float;\
> No more, ye sons of Nappy, shall his beer\
> Or nut-brown ale your dropping spirits cheer,\
> To his own castles, built sublime in air,\
> Quitting his geese and bogs and glassy care,\
> With blood infused, and, like a meteor bright,\
> On his own pinions, Pock has winged his flight.
W. H. Grattan Flood asserted Richard Pockrich\'s importance and influence in his *A History of Irish Music*, crediting him as the inventor in 1741, and summarising his legacy with a quote from the *Vicar of Wakefield* (1761),
> \"\... the ladies from London could talk of nothing but \'pictures, taste, Shakespeare, and the musical glasses.\'\" \[and\] \"Benjamin Franklin improved the instrument, and called it the \"Armonica\"; and for it Mozart, Hasse, Beethoven, Naumann, and other masters wrote.\"

# Bayford & Co
**The Bayford Group** is a British company founded in 1919 in Leeds, England. For over 100 years The Bayford Group has developed and invested in a diverse portfolio of companies. Energy has always been the core of the business, from the original 1919 coal merchant business set up by 4 soldiers in Yorkshire, and named after the village where they had been demobbed, Bayford in Hertfordshire -- oil distribution in the 60s, energy supply in the 90s to the multimillion pound acquisition of Gulf Gas & Power almost a century later in 2017.
## History
Bayford was founded in Leeds by four survivors of the First World War who decided to pool their resources to establish a coal agents business. Whilst searching for a suitable title for their enterprise, they hit on the idea of using the name of the Hertfordshire village of Bayford where they had been demobilized at the end of the war. They were joined by Frederick Turner as an office junior. He eventually rose to become the Company Chairman and remained so until the 1970s. The Bayford company maintained a steady growth in the solid fuel business in the first period of its life -- successfully weathering difficult periods such as the General Strike, Second World War, and the nationalisation of the coal industry. The firm then diversified into the petrol and oil distribution business as coal declined.
### 1950s--1980s
David Turner joined his father Frederick in the business in 1958 and in 1962 it was David Turner\'s decision to start selling oil, based on the view that as more and more people were turning from coal to oil for home heating, \"one followed the customer or lost the business\". In 1967 Bayford moved to new premises in Pepper Road, off Hunslet Road, Leeds and Bayford also began importing cargoes of oil from abroad via Immingham, to feed its Fleet storage facility and its tankers. This was a first for a UK independent company.
In 1969 Bayford decided to market low price petrol. The name *Thrust* was inspired by news reports of Concorde's maiden flight and the description of the \"tremendous thrust\" of its engines. The first petrol pump to carry the new sign, complete with the Concorde insignia, was in Ossett, West Yorkshire. Thrust rapidly built up to a chain of 45 outlets by the end of 1970 and 85 by 1972.
In 1970 Bayford Developments started trading by purchasing investment properties in Biggin Hill and Mitchum in Surrey.
By 1976 Bayford was delivering 100,000 tonnes of coal each week to Yorkshire\'s power stations, after striking an agreement with the CEGB (Central Electricity Generating Board). Bayford continued to supply significant quantities of coal into the 1990s, and during the 1980s were also supplying some 3 million litres of oil per day to the region\'s power stations.
By 1979 the company\'s Fleet Storage depot by the Aire and Calder Canal in Leeds had an annual throughput of 150,000 tons of fuel per year.
Bayford was still heavily involved in the coal market in the 1980s. At its peak, Bayford Mining was producing from sites in Yorkshire, Lancashire and in the North and East of Scotland. The average life of an opencast mine was around 18 months, after which time the land was restored to its former use.

## History
### Growth in the 1990s and 2000s {#growth_in_the_1990s_and_2000s}
In 1988 Bayford moved into new headquarters at Bowcliffe Hall in Bramham, West Yorkshire -- a 19th-century listed building next to the Bramham Park Grounds.
In the first of several acquisitions, Bayford took over Holderness Fuel Supplies Ltd in 1991. Holderness had a throughput of 35 million litres from three depots, in Leeds, Humberside and Malton, North Yorkshire. Bayford bought out British Fuel\'s share of the Fleet Storage facility at Woodlesford in 1993. Bayford acquired twenty-two Yorkshire filling stations from Elf Oil (UK) Ltd and seven petrol station sites in the North East from Texaco, which were operated under the Thrust Petroleum brand in 1994. Bayford acquired the commercial oil business, Burmah Petroleum Fuels Ltd in 1995. The move effectively tripled the size of Bayford\'s oil business and made it Britain\'s largest privately owned distributor of commercial oils.
Jonathan Turner was appointed Managing Director of the \"Bayford Group\" in 2000.
In 2001 Bayford gained the UK rights to the Gulf brand, in a deal with Gulf Oil International, and also launched a new business, (Gulf Lubricants UK Ltd.), in association with Gulf, to market and sell lubricants. The company became involved in a £47 million deal to buy the 400-strong network of Save petrol stations, the largest independent petrol network in the UK.
Bayford launched Countrywide Fuel Cards in partnership with BP in 2003, selling fuel cards through BP branded sites. Bayford also launched InterCity Fuel Cards in partnership with Shell, operating initially as separate businesses.
In 2004 Jonathan Turner bought Bayford and Company Ltd. from family shareholders.
Following the Fambo buy-out, Bayford acquired three new fuel card businesses, Central Fuel Cards, Truckhaven Ltd and Routemate Fuel Cards. This saw Bayford\'s fuel card business become the only company to have partnerships with the three biggest fuel brands in the UK, Esso, Shell and BP, as well as adding the most widely accepted diesel-bunkering card on the market, to its portfolio. By taking over three fuel card businesses and the two fuel distribution companies, Bayford earned itself the title of \"Acquirer of the Year 2006\" at the Business XL Magazine Company of the Year Awards.
Following a year of record profits and sustained organic growth, in 2006 Bayford completed the acquisition of Askham Oil Supplies, one of the UK\'s leading authorised distributors for Texaco. Bayford\'s fuel distribution operations now extend from North Wales to the Lincolnshire coast, and right up to the Scottish border.

## History
### A change of direction {#a_change_of_direction}
In 2007 Liz Slater was appointed Managing Director of Bayford & Company Ltd., with Jonathan Turner becoming the company\'s Chief Executive.
In 2007 Bayford & Co Ltd sold The Fuelcard Company to US-based card operator Fleetcor. Bayford retained its Truckhaven and Countrywide Fuelcards business as an official distributor of BP fuel cards. In June 2008 Truckhaven and Countrywide Fuelcards were brought together under one brand, Be Fuelcards.
In 2009 Jonathan Turner took the decision to sell Bayford Oil, heatingoil.co.uk and Gulf to GB Oils, a DCC company. Following the sale to GB Oils, the Bayford Group retained Be Fuelcards, Bayford Properties and Bayford Developments.
In 2010 Bayford launched Decadent Retreats, a company letting luxury holiday accommodation. The properties include the 13,000 acre Laudale Estate, a Scottish Estate located on the shores of Loch Sunart, 6 self-catering cottages located within the Laudale Estate and a luxury villa located in La Manga Club, Spain.
2011 saw the launch of several new ventures for the Bayford company. The Right Fuelcard Company was established in Hunslet, Leeds as an independent agent selling exclusively the Shell fuel card. In the same year Rontec Investments LLP, a consortium led by Snax 24, purchased assets from Total including 810 retail sites. Immediately, following the acquisition, 254 of these retail sites were sold to Shell UK for £240 million.
In the deal The Right Fuelcard Company, part of the Bayford Group and a partner in the Rontec consortium, acquired Total\'s fuel card customers. Shell agreed that The Right Fuelcard Company could market the joint branded fuel card. Early in 2012 existing Total card holders will receive a new dual-branded card enabling them to draw fuel from either Total or Shell sites. Over time, company-owned Total sites will be rebranded as Shell. In respect of dealer owned sites, the decision as to which brand to go with will be theirs.
In the same year Jaytee Ripon LLP was set up and submitted an application to build a motorway service area on the A1 near Ripon. Bayford Properties also embarked on a building project to add a block of 14 apartments a few miles further north, in Northallerton. These were completed in 2012.
2014 saw the completion of a multi-phase refurbishment and development of Bayford Group HQ, Bowcliffe Hall near Wetherby, West Yorkshire. The brainchild of CEO Jonathan Turner, the £6 million development saw the creation of a conference and events venue built in the shape of an airplane wing, the Blackburn Wing, the conversion of redundant buildings into office space and the creation of a private members\' club, the Bowcliffe Drivers\' Club. 2015 saw further re-development at Bayford Group HQ with the restoration of Bowcliffe Hall\'s original Drawing Room into an events venue, the Ballroom.
In 2017, the Bayford Group acquired the licence to set up Gulf Gas & Power for the UK and the Netherlands, selling gas and electricity to homes and businesses.
2017 also saw the purchase of The Yorke Arms, a Michelin starred restaurant with rooms located in the Yorkshire Dales.
Today the Bayford Group remains a diverse holding company with interests in energy, fuel cards, property investment, development and letting, hospitality, events and e-commerce.
In November 2019, Lindsay Austin was announced by the Bayford Group as its new Managing Director.
In March 2020, The Bayford Group has bought E (Gas and Electricity) Ltd, a retailer of gas and electricity that has a £160 million turnover

# 1976 Coventry North West by-election
The **Coventry North West by-election**, in Coventry on 4 March 1976, was held after the death of Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Maurice Edelman. A safe Labour seat, it was won by Geoffrey Robinson, who retained the seat until 2019.
## Party performance {#party_performance}
The by-election represented the first outing for the National Party; it had recently split from the National Front and both parties ran candidates in the election. Although both polled poorly, it set a trend for a split far right vote which was replicated in the 1989 Vauxhall by-election and elsewhere.
The Liberal Party vote fell in this by-election, a development that former leader Jo Grimond blamed in part on scandals surrounding incumbent Jeremy Thorpe\'s homosexuality. Grimond suggested that the result and the allegations meant that Thorpe \"must think of stepping down\". Thorpe stood down as Liberal leader two months later

# Derwent (locomotive)
***Derwent*** is an 0-6-0 steam locomotive built in 1845 by William and Alfred Kitching for the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR). It is preserved at Darlington Railway Centre and Museum, now known as *Head of Steam*.
## Design
*Derwent* was designed by Timothy Hackworth and built by W. & A. Kitching in Darlington, England in 1845. It is similar in design to two of their 1842 locomotives, *Leader* and *Trader*, with outside cylinders fixed at the trailing end of the boiler and four-foot diameter, six-wheeled coupled wheels.
Withdrawn from service in 1869, it was sold to Pease & Partners for use on their colliery lines and spent some time at the construction of the Waskerley Reservoir in County Durham. It took part in the Stephenson Centenary celebrations at Newcastle in 1881 and the Queen\'s Diamond Jubilee in 1887.
## Preservation
*Derwent* was presented to the North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1898 for preservation. After restoration the locomotive ran under its own steam in the 1925 Railway Centenary procession, and on trials the day before the procession it achieved a speed of 12 mph. After that it was on display alongside *Locomotion No. 1* for many years on a plinth on one of the platforms at Darlington\'s main station, Bank Top. In the 1960s, it was removed and restored in near original condition, and then moved to the Darlington Railway Centre and Museum in the 1970s, located in the same building as Darlington\'s North Road railway station, where it remains on display on long-term loan from the National Railway Museum. It is now part of the National Collection

# The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (2003 film)
***The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone*** is a 2003 made-for-television romantic drama film and a remake of the 1961 film of the same name based on the 1950 novel of the same title by Tennessee Williams. The film premiered on May 4, 2003, on Showtime.
## Plot
The film follows the odyssey of Karen Stone, an actress who loses her husband to a heart attack. In Rome, she meets a contessa and another man with other romantic intentions and interests that have nothing to do with Mrs. Stone.
## Production
The screenplay was written by Martin Sherman, based on the Tennessee Williams novel. *Variety* noted that he \"distills the essence of the story --- a repressed woman's sexual awakening --- into a provocative piece that relies as much on visuals as it does narrative.\" The film was directed by Robert Allan Ackerman and produced by James Flynn and Morgan O\'Sullivan. It was shot on location in Dublin and Rome. It is Bancroft\'s final film appearance.
## Cast
Sources:
- Helen Mirren --- Karen Stone
- Olivier Martinez --- Paolo di Lio

- Brian Dennehy --- Tom Stone
- Rodrigo Santoro --- Young Man

## Career
Born in Easington, County Durham, Dixon began his career as a trainee with Leeds United, but failed to make the first team at Elland Road. He joined York City on loan in August 1999, making his league debut on 7 August in a 1--0 win at home to Swansea City. He played twice more in the league for York, with a further appearance in the League Cup, at home to Wigan Athletic, before returning to Leeds United at the end of his one-month loan spell.
In October 2000 Dixon had a trial with Aberdeen, Leeds coach Roy Aitken having recommended Dixon to his former club. However, his trial was cut short due to personal circumstances.
Dixon was released by Leeds at the end of the 2000--01 season, joining Barnsley in July 2001. However, he fractured a shin after just three days of pre-season training and was out for the following season. In an attempt to regain match fitness, Dixon joined Doncaster Rovers on loan in October 2002, but only to play reserve games. Dixon was released by Barnsley in September 2003.
Dixon later joined Seaham Red Star, leaving them to join Durham City in December 2004.
In November 2005, Dixon joined Kettering Town from Seaham Red Star as one of manager Paul Gascoigne\'s signings. However, the move did not work out and he returned to Seaham Red Star in January 2006.
Dixon joined Horden Colliery Welfare in February 2006 and was sent off for violent conduct after 10 minutes of his club debut.
Dixon then had brief spells at Newcastle Blue Star and at Sunderland Ryhope, before joining Bishop Auckland early in the 2007--08 season.
Dixon had a brief spell as manager of Seaham Red Star Reserves in 2015-16.

# Don't Stop Now
\"**Don\'t Stop Now**\" is the first single from Crowded House\'s fifth studio album *Time on Earth*. It was released in Australia on 16 June 2007; in the United Kingdom, it was released digitally on 18 June 2007 and physically on 25 June 2007.
## Background
\"Don\'t Stop Now\" was written by Neil Finn shortly after he and his wife, Sharon Finn, moved to Freshford near Bath, England. The influence of the song came as a result of Finn\'s wife driving and having difficulty navigating due to her vehicle\'s GPS system providing incorrect information. To compound her difficulty, this was her first time driving in this area of England, an area known for its narrow roads.
The song was written by Crowded House frontman Neil Finn as a solo effort. The song features guitar work from alternative group The Smiths\' former co-songwriter Johnny Marr. The song was originally destined for Finn\'s third solo album, but as his third album was converted into the new album for his band Crowded House, the song was released as a Crowded House offering. \"Don\'t Stop Now\" is one of only four from the fourteen tracks from *Time on Earth* that includes the full lineup of Finn, bassist Nick Seymour, guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hart and newcomer drummer Matt Sherrod as Crowded House.
## Cover art {#cover_art}
The cover art of \"Don\'t Stop Now\" is all in the same vein as the album *Time on Earth* that the song is derived from. This is prominent in that the artwork is made up of newspaper clippings that\'ve been painted to fit the design, in this case appearing to be a green labyrinth with a car and some birds. The difference with this cover is that the song title is hand drawn, where on the album cover, the album title is in newspaper also. The blue dragon from the cover of *Time on Earth* is also seen hiding within the maze. The music video for \"Don\'t Stop Now\" also employs the same artwork and design as the background for the band.
## Notable performances {#notable_performances}
As the lead single for the group\'s reunion album *Time on Earth*, Crowded House has performed \"Don\'t Stop Now\" at all of their performances since reuniting, including the international event Live Earth on 7 July 2007 and for a promotional performance on the Australian television program*Rove* on 8 July 2007.
## Music video {#music_video}
The music video for \"Don\'t Stop Now\" is primarily animated with the band blue screened in. It features the same design and corporate image of the cover of its single and the album *Time on Earth*. The song is performed by the band who appear to be surrounded by illustrated trees and appear to be in an illustrated and animated world. Later, the band appears at the top of an illustrated newspaper building. The music video features a blue dragon (as from the *Time on Earth* cover) seeking out and devouring a person, just as from the album cover. The dragon is later featured throughout the music video. In parts of the music video, the shot moves to a close up view of newspaper, as is used on the cover of the album, while a small red car drives along the text and the words being sung are expanded to be read. As it is the first single with drummer Matt Sherrod on drums, it\'s also the first music video with Crowded House that he has been featured in. Multi-instrumentalist Mark Hart is mostly seen on guitar while the band is in view, however is also shown playing piano in other scenes.
## Reception
Junkee said, \" A star guest turn from Johnny Marr sees his trademark jangle open up the crack in the darkness to let the light come in, while Finn's minor-major cadence allows for a rainbow after the storm.\"

## Biography
Until joining the Harvard University faculty in 2011, Jeffrey Schnapp was the director of the Stanford Humanities Lab from its foundation in 1999 through 2009. At Stanford University he occupied the Pierotti Chair in Italian Literature and was professor of French & Italian, and Comparative Literature, with an additional affiliation to German Studies. Though primarily based in the field of Italian studies, he has played a pioneering role in several areas of transdisciplinary research and led the development of a new wave of digital humanities work. His research interests extend from antiquity to the present, encompassing the material history of literature, the history of 20th-century architecture and design, and the cultural history of science and engineering. Trained as a Romance linguist, Schnapp is the author or editor of twenty five books and an extensive corpus of essays on authors such as Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Hildegard of Bingen, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Gabriele d\'Annunzio, and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, and on topics such as late antique patchwork poetry, futurist and dadaist visual poetics, the cultural history of coffee consumption, glass architecture, the iconography of the pipe in modern art, and the electronic book. His book *Crowds* was the recipient of the Modernist Studies Association prize for best book of 2006.
At Harvard, he is the Carl Pescosolido Professor of Romance and Comparative Literatures in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, but also teaches in the Department of Architecture at the Graduate School of Design. In addition to serving as the founder/faculty director of metaLAB (at) Harvard\--an \"idea foundry, knowledge design laboratory, and production studio\"\--he serves as faculty co-director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society where metaLAB is housed.
Schnapp was the co-editor of the Johns Hopkins University Press quarterly *Modernism/modernity*, the official journal of the Modernist Studies Association, up through the end of 2014. He is also a guest curator who has collaborated with several leading museums: among them, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the Cantor Arts Center, the Wolfsonian-FIU, the Triennale di Milano, Fondazione Cirulli (Bologna), and the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio (Vicenza). His Trento Tunnels project -- a 6000 sq. meter pair of superhighway tunnels at the entrance to the Northern Italian city of Trent, repurposed as an experimental history museum, has undergone several editions since 2008: among them, \"I Trentini e la Grande Guerra (Il popolo scomparso/la sua storia ritrovata)\" (2008-2009), \"Storicamente ABC\" (2010-2011), and \"Ski Past\" (2012). \"Panorama of the Cold War,\" carried out with Elisabetta Terragni (Studio Terragni Architetti) and Daniele Ledda (XY comm), was exhibited in the Albanian Pavilion of the 2012 Venice Biennale of Architecture and in Erasmus Effect -- Architetti italiani all'estero / Italian Architects Abroad at the MAXXI (Dec. 2013-April 2014). He was also on the team that developed BZ '18-'45, a documentation center built under Marcello Piacentini\'s Bolzano Victory Monument open to the public since July 2014.

## metaLAB
In February 2011, Schnapp founded a new laboratory at Harvard under the aegis of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society: metaLAB (at) Harvard, with his initial collaborators James Burns, Daniele Ledda, Kara Oehler, Gerard R. Pietrushko, and Jesse Shapins. metaLAB is a kind of \"do tank\" that is broadly engaged with the modeling of new and experimental forms of networked culture and knowledge. At the end of 2021, metaLAB opened a new platform in Berlin, Germany, in collaboration with Kim Albrecht and Annette Jael Lehmann at the Institut für Theaterwissenschaft at the Freie Universität Berlin: metaLAB (at) Berlin. A new integrated website for the conjoined Harvard and F.U. Berlin platforms was launched in January 2022.
### *The Library Beyond the Book* {#the_library_beyond_the_book}
Schnapp\'s *The Library Beyond the Book* of 2013 (published in 2014), written with Matthew Battles, surveys elements of libraries potentially relevant to today\'s transitional digital era. It examines past mainstays such as buildings, shelves, catalogs, access cards, reference desks, carrel desks, and librarians, and wonders how each might find new purpose in the near future. It discusses the importance of databases, digital preservation, mobile libraries, serendipity, cloistering, and meatspaces, and mentions initiatives such as Rio de Janeiro\'s Manguinhos Library Park, the pop-up Occupy Wall Street Library, Chattanooga Public Library\'s makerspace, the Digital Public Library of America, and London\'s Idea Store. In the words of one reviewer, the authors \"imagine six plausible scenarios for serving tomorrow\'s diverse information consumers, situating libraries as everything from study shelters to civic institutions functioning as mobile libraries, reading rooms promoting social change, and/or event-driven knowledge centers.\" It is the first in a series of Metalab publications \"that will investigate the role of print-based scholarship in the digital age.\"
### *Cold Storage* {#cold_storage}
Among metaLAB\'s recent experiments is \"Cold Storage\": an experimental web documentary (or so-called database documentary) made up of over 500 media objects developed in 2013-2015 as an \"animated archive\" and extension of the volume \"The Library Beyond the Book,\" published in 2014 in the metaLABprojects series by Harvard University Press. The work was directed by Cristoforo Magliozzi and produced by Schnapp.
### *futureSTAGE*
Coordinated with Paolo Petrocelli, the director of the Stauffer Academy for Strings in Cremona, Italy, and involving some thirty leading professionals from every walk of the performing arts world, the futureSTAGE project was developed during the years of the Covid-19 pandemic in order to forster innovation in the form of a post-pandemic turn to a \"new normal\" and to prompt creative and critical reflection on the future of the performing arts, performing arts venues, organizational structures, and policies. It has initially assumed the form of the Future Stage Manifesto.

# Dan Holdsworth
**Dan Holdsworth** (born in 1974 in Welwyn Garden City, England) is a British photographer who creates large-scale photographs and digital art characterized by the use of traditional techniques and unusually long exposure times, and by radical abstractions of geography. He has exhibited internationally including solo shows at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, and Barbican Art Gallery, London; and group shows at Tate Britain, London, and Centre Pompidou, Paris. His work is held in collections including the Tate Collection, Saatchi Collection, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne and London.
## Education
Holdsworth studied photography and earned a BA (hons) in photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, UK.
## Early work {#early_work}
Holdsworth gained notice with photographic series such as *A Machine For Living* (1999) and *Megalith* (2002), where familiar scenes of service stations, car parks, billboards, or broadcast towers loom as godforsaken outposts, antecedent inklings of a new apocalyptic frontier. Consumed by the exaggerated glow of neon and head lamps, the landscapes\' toxic-colour intensity and blurred movements suggest atomic fulguration, illuminating industrial structures like shrines. Holdsworth often uses extremely prolonged exposures to capture the ethereal essence of his scenes; the paradox of these images is that their hyper-acceleration is in fact slow-time aggregation: the lens\' observations over minutes, hours, days, record an unnoticed seething of energy, a plausible force of infernal propulsion.
In the mid-2000s, Holdsworth began to source his otherworldly scenes from the truly exotic: science fiction possibilities evoked at the ends of the earth, from Europe to North and South America. Key examples from this period are *The Gregorian* (2005), and *Hyperborea* (2006) series, which were respectively shot in Puerto Rico at the American National Astronomy and Ionosphere Centre, and in Iceland\'s interior, the film location of Jules Verne\'s *Journey to the Center of the Earth*. Whether picturing a research centre in the guise of a UFO set deep within the jungle, or barren glaciers and mountains diminished beneath the spectacle of northern lights, these images re-imagine the far corners of the earth as a virtual world, fusing primordial wilderness and space-age science.
## *Blackout*
The series *Blackout* (2010) was inspired by the infamous power failures in 1960s New York, an event which threw millions of people into darkness and prompted a panicky fear of nuclear attack. Holdsworth\'s enormous prints are images of mountains and glaciers in Iceland, made mystic and otherworldly through innovations in photographic art.
*Blackout* was first exhibited at Patricia Low Contemporary, Geneva, in 2010. This exhibition included the works \"Blackout 08\", \"Blackout 13\", \"Blackout 09\", and \"Blackout 07\".
In 2011, Holdsworth exhibited further *Blackout* works at major exhibitions at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK; and at Nordin Gallery, Stockholm. Each exhibition included a different selection of works from the series. Holdsworth also worked with CIRCA Projects to produce an off-site lightbox installation, Blackout 10, which coincided with the \"Blackout\" exhibition at BALTIC, Gateshead. This lightbox installation was Holdsworth\'s first public installation commission, and the first in a series of large-scale lightbox works.
In 2012 his book *Blackout*, published by Steidl BG, was launched at Brancolini Grimaldi, London. The book contains the complete \"Blackout\" series and a new text written by British science writer and editor, Oliver Morton.
## *Transmission: New Remote Earth Views* {#transmission_new_remote_earth_views}
Holdsworth\'s 2012 series *Transmission: New Remote Earth Views* uses topographical data to present the American West in an entirely new way. Locations included are the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Mount Shasta, Mount St. Helens, Salt Lake City, and Park City, Utah. The series was first presented in an exhibition at Brancolini Grimaldi, London, UK, in March 2012.

# Electoral district of Ipswich
**Ipswich** is a Legislative Assembly of Queensland electoral district on the Brisbane River, west of Brisbane in the Australian state of Queensland. The electorate includes Ipswich and its suburbs, south and east of the Bremer River, west of Bundamba Creek and north of the Cunningham Highway.
## History
The electoral district of Town of Ipswich was one of the original 16 established in 1859, when Queensland became a separate colony. It returned 3 members.
In the redistribution of 1872, its name was shortened to just \"Ipswich\" and it became a single member constituency, due to the creation of the electoral district of Bundamba. In the redistribution of 1878, it absorbed the electoral district of Bremer and became a dual-member constituency.
In 1912, it again reverted to a single member constituency, due to the re-introduction of the single-member electoral district of Bremer

# Fordon, East Riding of Yorkshire
**Fordon** is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Wold Newton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, near the border with North Yorkshire. It is situated approximately 8 mi south of Scarborough and 10 mi north-west of Bridlington. In 1931 the parish had a population of 29.
There is a small church dedicated to St James that is now a Grade II\* listed building. `{{clear left}}`{=mediawiki} The name *Fordon*, first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as *Fordun*, *Fordune*, and *Forduna*, is thought to come from the Old English words *fore* (\'in front of\') and *dūn* (\'hill\'). Thus it once meant \'In front of the hill\'.
In 1823 Fordon was in the parish of Hunmanby and the Wapentake of Dickering. Occupations at the time included three farmers.
Fordon was formerly a township in the parish of Hunmanby, from 1866 Fordon was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Wold Newton

# The Man in the Bear
\"**The Man in the Bear**\" is the fourth episode of the first season of the television series *Bones*. Originally aired on November 1, 2005, on FOX network, the episode is written by Laura Wolner and directed by Allan Kroeker. The plot features FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan\'s investigation concerning a human hand that was found inside a bear in Washington state.
## Summary
To Brennan\'s dismay, Booth takes her, with Dr. Goodman\'s permission, to small town Aurora, Washington, to identify the victim whose arm was found inside a black bear. From a photograph taken of the arm, Brennan sees that the victim had his arm cut off by a saw before the bear ate it.
Once there, Booth and Brennan meet with the sheriff and the local doctors. The victim is a young male but only one person has been reported missing --- a woman by the name of Ann Noyes. Brennan sends the bone fragments back to the Jeffersonian, where her assistant, Zack Addy, debrides them and finds indentations belonging to bite marks from a human --- Brennan realizes the killer is a cannibal. Since a cannibal would get sick with prion disease, Brennan visits local coroner Dr. Andrew Rigby to ask him if he has met with any patients with such symptoms. He says that he has not.
Back at the lab, Dr. Jack Hodgins examines the bear scat Brennan had sent to him and finds a flap of skin with a tattoo, which turns out to be a Haida Sun motif, when recreated by Angela Montenegro. From the tattoo, the sheriff is able to find the victim\'s identity via a missing persons check. The victim is Adam Langer, and according to the sheriff, he used to come up to Aurora to visit Sherman Rivers, the town\'s Native American Park Ranger. However, when Booth and Brennan go to question Rivers, he escapes into the woods.
They find Rivers the next morning in the woods. From the evidence Booth and Brennan gathered from Rivers\' house, they are convinced that he is a poacher but not the cannibal. With Hodgins\' expertise and Rivers\' help, they find the crime scene in the woods, where they also find a perverse version of a medicine wheel and two dead bodies belonging to Adam Langer and Ann Noyes, whose heart has been removed.
Based on adipocere formation, Brennan estimates Ann Noyes has been dead for about a week. When it is revealed that Adam Langer was seeing local veterinarian Dr. Denise Randall, Booth and Brennan corner her at a local bar, where they get her to bite into a block of dental medium so they can check her teeth marks. However, Brennan points out that Randall had no motives for killing Ann Noyes and that they are more likely looking for someone who is clinically insane. Meanwhile, Zack finds more marks on Ann Noyes\'s sternum, which Brennan determines to be made by a sternum spreader. She realizes that Dr. Rigby would have seen this beforehand but did not mention it because he is the cannibal. Booth and Brennan find Rigby in the process of cremating the bodies; Brennan knocks Rigby out with a bedpan.
During the episode, Hodgins and Zack vie for the attention of the parcel delivery person, played by K. D. Aubert, who later turns out to be bisexual, choosing Angela over Hodgins and Zack.
## Music
The episode featured the following music:
- Mike Doughty -- \"Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well\"
- Peter Himmelman -- \"Big Me\"

# The Man in the Bear
## Production details {#production_details}
The episode was written as the series\' fifth episode but broadcast as the fourth. According to Laura Wolner, writer of the episode, the idea for the episode came from her interest in cannibalism and that it would be fascinating to see \"teeth marks on bones that turned out not to be from an animal, but from a human\". Also by having a different setting, the character of Temperance Brennan could be explored further.
## Response
As a lead-in program for *House*, *Bones* attracted 7.99 million viewers in its Tuesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot on the episode\'s original airdate, ranking third in total viewers in its timeslot

# Johannes von Gmunden
: *Johannes von Gmünd is also the name of a 14th-century architect, see Basel Münster.*
**Johannes von Gmunden** (*Johannes de Gamundia*; c. 1380/84 -- February 23, 1442) was a German astronomer, mathematician and humanist.
## Biography
Johannes von Gmunden received the degree of a Master of Arts at the University of Vienna in 1406. From 1408, he was a lecturer at Vienna, lecturing on Aristotle\'s *Physics* (1408) and *Meteora* (1409, 1411), Peter of Spain (1410) and *Algorismus de minutiis* (1412). He fell seriously ill in 1412.
In 1415 and 1416 studied theology, completing a Bachelor of Theology in 1416. He continued lecturing only in 1419, on *algorismus de integris*. From 1420, Johannes was permitted to restrict his teaching to the specialized field of the mathematics of astronomy, focusing on Euclid\'s *Elements* and the *Sphaera materialis* of John Holywood. With the aid of students (Weidler\'s 1741 *Historia astronomiae* names Georg Pruneck of Ruspach, Georg of Neuenburg, Johannes Schinkel and Johannes Feldner) he compiled voluminous astronomical tables. In 1425, he was elected canon at St. Stephen\'s Cathedral. Georg von Peuerbach succeeded him at Vienna University in 1450.
John\'s origins are somewhat disputed. He was probably born in Gmunden, Upper Austria, but there were also suggestions connecting him with Gmünd, Lower Austria, or that he was a Swabian from Schwäbisch Gmünd who studied in Ulm in his youth, based on a document written at Ulm in 1404 by one \"Johannes Wissbier de Gamundia\".

# Dean Parker
**Dean Leo Parker** (20 August 1947 -- 14 April 2020) was a New Zealand screenwriter, playwright, journalist and political commentator based in Auckland. Known for the screenplay of iconic film *Came a Hot Friday* which he co-wrote with Ian Mune, the television film *Old Scores* and recent play *Midnight in Moscow* and was awarded Laureate of the New Zealand Arts Foundation in 2010.
## Biography
### Early years {#early_years}
Parker was born in Napier, Hawke\'s Bay. He went to school at Napier Marist and St John\'s College, Hastings.
By 1969 he was living in London, England. While of mainly Irish ancestry, he knew little of the Irish struggle until The Troubles began that year in Northern Ireland. Parker joined the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Solidarity Campaign, led by the International Socialists (now known as the Socialist Workers Party), and immersed himself in literature on the Irish struggle. He continued his involvement with the International Socialists into the early 1970s, attending branch meetings in West London, with his old Napier friend, Blair Peach. Peach was later killed while participating in a 1979 anti-National Front rally.
### Career
Parker worked as a writer for much of his life and was prominent in his union, the New Zealand Writers Guild. His plays included *Midnight in Moscow* --- which *The Press* reviewer Alan Scott called \"entertaining and thought-provoking\" and \"one of his best to date\" --- 2005\'s Iraq-set *Baghdad, Baby*, and an adaptation of Nicky Hager\'s exposé *The Hollow Men*. He won awards in New Zealand for teleplay *Share the Dream* (starring Joel Tobeck), and co-writing the successful big-screen comedy *Came a Hot Friday*. The 1985 film centered on two conmen in small town New Zealand, and was adapted from the novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson.
Parker\'s theatrical CV included *The Feds*, *Two Fingers From Frank Zappa*, and adaptations of *Great Expectations*, and *The Trial*. He also wrote many radio plays, among them *Joe Stalin Knew My Father* and *Engels F: A History of the Ould Sod*.
Arguably his best-known television work is Welsh-Kiwi rugby tale *Old Scores*, which Parker co-wrote with ex All Black triallist and occasional soccer player Greg McGee. The two also co-created the 1980s trucking series *Roche*, whose cast included John Bach and Andy Anderson, and goldmining drama *Gold*, a co-production between New Zealand and Canada. Parker also worked on episodes of police drama *Mortimer\'s Patch*, *Betty\'s Bunch*, and documentary *Just Slightly, A People Apart: The Irish in NZ*.
In 1990 Parker co-directed *Shattered Dreams*, a documentary on the years leading up to the 1951 Waterfront strike.
By 1975, Parker was back in New Zealand. Horrified at the election of National Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon, Parker joined the pro-Soviet Socialist Unity Party of New Zealand and soon became chairman of its Auckland City Branch. He was active in the Campaign for an Independent East Timor and played soccer for the Halt All Racist Tours team for a number of years, though the quality of his play was purportedly variable.
In July 1977 he penned the first of many articles on Ireland for the SUP\'s paper, *Tribune*. By the late 1970s the SUP had decided to ally with the Labour Party. Parker resigned from the SUP in 1978, though he remained a supporter into the late 1980s.
In 1979 Parker travelled to Northern Ireland, visiting West Belfast and trouble spots such as the Falls Road. Returning to New Zealand, Parker helped form H Block/Armagh in 1980/81 as a support group for republican prisoners in Irish jails. Parker served on the editorial board of the organisation\'s publication *Saoirse* from 1982 until its demise in 2000. Parker contributed regular articles on Irish issues to SUP publications until the party split in 1990.
In 1991 Parker was a member of the Editorial Group of the socialist journal *Agenda*. He was also active in the Workers\' Charter Movement, a joint project of Socialist Worker, SPA, John Minto\'s Global Peace and Justice Auckland and Matt McCarten\'s Unite Union.
He also contributed to the *New Zealand Listener* and *The New Zealand Herald*.
Parker was a Marxist--Leninist, and injected his politics into his art.
In the socialist journal *Sites*, No. 16 Autumn 1988, he wrote, \"I would describe myself as a class-conscious writer. I\'m with Lenin. I\'m for the working class seizing control of the wealth it creates, for the replacement of parliament, the army, the police, the judiciary --- all those deadly manacles of state control --- with workers\' committees and militias, and all this done as part of a world-wide struggle \...\"
### Personal life {#personal_life}
Parker and his partner Isabel lived in Ponsonby, Auckland and had a son. Parker died on 14 April 2020 aged 72, having finished a stage adaption of Albert Camus\' *The Plague* the previous day.

They were an idealized Kennedy-like family consisting on Dr. John Littlechap (who shared the first name and resemblance to the US President), his wife Lisa and their two daughters, Judith, 17 and Libby, 10. Each doll came boxed in a terrycloth robe. There were some outfits and playsets available which sold separately. The dolls were discontinued following the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963

# Idris Khan
**Idris Khan** OBE (born 1978) is a British artist based in London.
Khan\'s work draws from a diverse range of cultural sources including literature, history, art, music, and religion. He creates densely layered imagery that is both abstract and figurative and addresses narratives of history, cumulative experience and the metaphysical collapse of time into single moments.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Khan is a Muslim by origin. His father is from Pakistan and his English mother converted to Islam after meeting his father.
Khan graduated in photography from the University of Derby in 2001, he studied for an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2004.
## Career
Khan\'s photographs or scans originate from secondary source material -- for instance, every page of the Qur\'an, every Beethoven sonata, every William Turner postcard from Tate Britain, or every Bernd and Hilla Becher spherical gasholder. Khan\'s interest in Islam and layered imagery can be traced back to his upbringing: It was his father\'s idea that Khan -- himself a non-practicing Muslim -- photograph every page of the Qur\'an. His work and process have been described as \"experiments in compressed memories\" and \"all-encompassing composites.\" As Khan describes: \"It is a challenge to not define my work as a photograph but using the medium of photography to create something that exists on the surface of the paper and not to be transported back to an isolated moment in time.\" He takes inspiration from Samuel Barber's *Adagio for Strings* and Antonio Vivaldi\'s *The Four Seasons* and made a ballet with Wayne McGregor and Max Richter*.*
Khan\'s visual layering also occurs in his videos, such as *Last Three Piano Sonatas...after Franz Schubert*, a three-channel video installation wherein he uses multiple camera angles to capture numerous performances of Schubert\'s last sonatas, composed on his deathbed.
In 2012, Khan was commissioned by the British Museum in London to create a new wall drawing for the exhibition, *Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam*. In addition to the wall drawing, a sculpture was installed in the museum\'s Great Court. Also in 2012, *The New York Times Magazine* commissioned Khan to create a new body of work that was published in their London issue, focusing on iconic sites.
In 2016, Khan was commissioned to build a 42000 m2 memorial to the war dead of the United Arab Emirates. The sculpture is constructed from seven aluminium-encased steel tablets, cast with poems by emirs of the UAE.
## Recognition
Khan was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to art.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Khan works from a studio in Stoke Newington, London he shares with his wife, the British artist Annie Morris. They have two children.
## Selected exhibitions {#selected_exhibitions}

# Miguel Condé
**Miguel Condé** (born 1939) is a Mexican figurative painter, draughtsman, and print maker. According to *Radio France*, he is \"one of the most important contemporary masters in the field of engraving.\" Condé\'s works are in important museum collections all over the world; he is exhibiting regularly at both public and private venues, and he has received numerous international honors and awards.
## Early life {#early_life}
Miguel Condé was born in Pittsburgh, to Salvador Condé Álvarez, a Mexican painter, and Victoria Weiner, an American poet. He grew up in his father\'s house in Mexico. Although the house was not a traditional artist\'s atelier, it was a place where Salvador drew and painted and which Miguel found to be \"a very attractive place because all the walls were painted a strange shade of green, and it was full of stuff like *papier-mâché* skeletons. It was a magic place where you could make up all sorts of stories.\" Young Condé split his time between Mexico and the United States until 1948 when he moved to New York with his mother. He attended P.S. 6 and Walden School, both in Manhattan, and graduated in 1956.
## Career
--Miguel Condé
In 1956, at age 17, Condé rented a studio in New York and began to study anatomy with renowned American artist and anatomist Stephen Rogers Peck, author of the classic manual *Atlas for Human Anatomy for the Artist*. He also attended courses taught by the Harvard Art History professor and curator Millard Meiss, at the Fogg Art Museum. Condé returned to Mexico in 1959 and settled in Tepoztlán, a popular tourist destination near Mexico City. In 1963 he was awarded a scholarship by the French government (Bourse d'Etudes Libres), so he moved to Paris where he studied with Stanley William Hayter in his Atelier 17.
In 1966, Condé returned to the United States and soon afterwards accepted a teaching position in drawing and mixed media in the graduate program at the University of Iowa School of Art. In Iowa City he met and befriended an Argentinian-born American artist and printmaker Mauricio Lasansky and the influential Chilean author José Donoso. Condé became a MacDowell Fellow in 1966 and concentrated full-time on his work in visual arts. In 1968, his solo exhibition opened to critical acclaim at the prestigious Galería de Arte Mexicano in Mexico City. Later that year, William Liebrerman, curator of MoMA, acquired two of his drawings for the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.
In 1969, he traveled to France and then moved with his family to Sitges, Catalonia, Spain.
In 1971, Condé worked at the Smithsonian Institution Print Workshop in Barcelona, which reignited his interest in graphic art. It was then that he met the prominent Spanish art dealer and print publisher Juana Mordó who offered him his first exhibition in Spain, which occurred in 1974. He became a foreign Artist-in-residence at the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio, in 1972. An exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art took place the following year.
In 1974, Condé was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship by the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. In 1976, *Miguel Condé: paintings and drawings* exhibition was organized by the Scottish Arts Council and took place in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1977, Condé participated in Documenta 6 in Kassel, Germany. In 1978, an exhibition *Miguel Condé: Guggenheim Suite* took place at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. In 1980, he was invited and took part in *Peintres-Graveurs Français* exhibition at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
In 1983, the Ministry of Culture of Spain organized an extensive retrospective exhibition *Miguel Condé: 20 años de obra grabada* at the Sala Picasso of Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. In a review of Condé\'s graphic work on display there, art critic and prolific author Fernando Huici opined that it was \"paper---already forgotten in the absurd hierarchy of genres---in both drawing and engraving, where Condé finds most freedom, where he expresses with greater ease his particular vocabulary of images\... \" Another retrospective of the artist, *Miguel Condé: Pinturas, Gouaches, Dibujos*, opened at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum later the same year.
In 1993, Condé met a Danish born, Madrid based printer and publisher Dan Benveniste, who would become his printer and, eventually, a collaborator in graphic projects. That same year, Ediciones Eegee-3 published 19 etchings printed by Dan Benveniste and presented them at the Fundación Carlos de Amberes in Madrid.
In 1998, a large scale installation *Grandes Formatos* opened at the Centro Cultural del Conde Duque in Madrid, Spain. The critically acclaimed exhibition was sponsored by the City council of Madrid and received a lot of media attention. Discussing his work with the art critic of the influential Spanish *El País*, Condé said, \"My characters are fictional and come from fantasy, but they are not surreal. I always paint figuratively, and everyone has to interpret each work for himself\... The treatment is different in painting versus drawing, denser and more susceptible to complex situations. Painting is dominated by gesture, by brushstroke and material, and I tend to concentrate on the character, without adding landscapes or architecture.\" In 1999, a collection of Condé\'s recent paintings went on exhibit at the Sales San Fernando in Seville, Spain. Both exhibitions were timed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Condé\'s permanent move to Spain.
Numerous other exhibitions at both private and public venues followed, the more recent ones taking place in 2011, at the Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo in Marbella, Spain and the Goya Museum in Castres, France. Reviewing one such exhibition, J.M. Martí Font, Paris bureau chief for *El Pais*, quoted the prominent art scholar and author Maria Lluïsa Borràs, who wrote that Condé \"revels in recovery for modernity subjects fitting of Cervantes or Quevedo, scenes and characters that evoke the aesthetics of the late Middle Ages even though they find themselves on the fringes of both time and history. In his compositions, increasingly more complex and meticulous, the absurd and the enigmatic gradually come together, Goya's black irony, Bosch's phantasmagorias, Brueghel's repulsion and fluidity, and Dürer's virtuoso drawing.\" A similar sentiment was expressed by art critic Fernando Huici who remarked in 1983 that \"the world that inhabits Condé\'s creations, the world of his intimate fascinations, always maintains a Brueghelian flavor.\"
In 2012, Miguel Condé was featured in Michael Peppiatt\'s book *Interviews with artists 1966 -- 2012*, published by the Yale University Press, along such post-war and contemporary masters as Francis Bacon, Balthus, Henry Moore, Diego Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Sean Scully, and Antoni Tàpies, to name a few.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Miguel Condé married Carola Schisel in Mexico, in 1960. They have two children: a son Amadeo, who was born in Paris in 1964, and a daughter, Caëtana María del Pilar, who was born in Iowa City in 1969. They split their time between Madrid and Sitges, Spain, where Condé works and maintains studios.

# Jacob Hashimoto
**Jacob Hashimoto** (born 1973) is an American artist based in New York City. Using sculpture, painting, and installation, Hashimoto creates complex worlds from a range of modular components: bamboo-and-paper kites, model boats, even astroturf-covered blocks. His accretive, layered compositions reference video games, virtual environments, and cosmology, while also remaining deeply rooted in art-historical traditions notably, landscape-based abstraction, modernism, and handcraft.
## Early life and education {#early_life_and_education}
Hashimoto was born in Greeley, Colorado. Much of his work materials reflect traditional Japanese culture. Despite his strong ties to the culture, however, he has not been to Japan and does not speak the language. His connection instead comes from his Japanese-American father. His mother, on the other hand, is Irish-American.
Hashimoto grew up in Walla Walla, Washington, where his mother, who had studied art as a college student, had her own studio. Although he enjoyed drawing and creating art in her studio, he did not plan to pursue an art degree in college. During his second year at Carleton College, he took a printmaking class, changed his mind about his career, and decided to send an application to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After his acceptance, he returned home to paint and work in the studio of Keiko Hara for a year before returning to school.
It was during his senior year at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago that he began to make the kites that would appear in much of his later work. This initial experience with the kites created a means for him to shift from his position as a college student to a real-world artist.
## Career
Hashimoto's career began with exhibitions designed for galleries and has since shown work internationally in many exhibitions including *The Nature of Objects* at Studio la Città in Verona, *Black Sea* at XIV Quadriennale di Roma at Galleria Nazionale d\'Arte Moderna in Rome, *Made in California NOW* at the Mary Boone Gallery in New York and has had *The Dark Isn\'t The Thing To Worry About* and *In the Cosmic Fugue* at the Rhona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago.
After graduating college, Hashimoto began working as a preparator in the Ann Nathan Gallery which allowed him to continue pursuing his personal art at night. On Thanksgiving weekend, he was allowed to set up his first kite exhibit in the gallery in order for the piece to be photographed. After which, Nathan encouraged him to leave it up as a public exhibit. Upon viewing the installation, the chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Richard Francis, approached Hashimoto with an offer to display works in the cafe at the MoCA. Hashimoto completed the exhibition with the aid of many family members and friends. The massive collection of 15,000 kites was displayed for 18 months.
In 2013 the installation *Superabundant Atmosphere* was presented at Bildmuseet, Umeå University, Sweden, to run from June 2, 2013 until October 13, 2013.

## Techniques
### Kites
Because his pieces are produced from a vast number of kites, Hashimoto enlists the help of various assistants from friends to employed workers. When it comes to the designs these assistants collage each kite, he places little restrictions on their creativity. Hashimoto must then find a way to incorporate each kite into his piece in a way that still speaks to his personal style and artistic values. This method of construction often forces him to solve unexpected formal issues and to explore ideas he would not normally encounter.
As far as idealizing his installations is concerned, Hashimoto relates his methods to those of a painter. He mainly follows his intuition, allowing the paper to respond to the ideas he generates in his head and the emotions he wishes to communicate through his work.
The paper Hashimoto uses for his kites is manufactured in Japan by four or five specific paper mills. Without this paper, it would be difficult to produce the effects he strives to create in his work (such as opacity, transparency, and diverse color) as paper made in the United States does not exhibit the same qualities. When collaging with this paper, he uses a variety of papers such as natural fiber paper, rayon, traditional rice paper, and Washi paper.
### Waterblocks
*Waterblocks* is the name Hashimoto has given to his 3-D wave-like sculptures. Using a 3-D computer program, he creates these acrylic glass sculptures by altering, layering, and combining different blocks. The blocks are then arranged on the floor in a grid format, replicating the movement of water that has been frozen in this seemingly fragile form. The way in which he layers and arranges the forms is similar to how he works with his kites and also resembles the manipulation of clay.

## Exhibitions
Hashimoto\'s exhibits display his numerous paper kites and sometimes other mediums as well. The paper kites hang from the ceiling and vary in layers, anywhere from six kites deep to the entire length of the gallery. His collections of hundreds to thousands of kites are made from both colored and white paper. Although Hashimoto claims his work to be abstract and without narrative, he admits that his installations often reference various landscapes.
### *Landscapes of Vision* {#landscapes_of_vision}
This exhibit is a large collection of pieces that all represent nature, some intentionally more abstract than others. One piece, created in 2008, is a wooden tree, *Tree III,* that holds giant white balls of light in place of leaves. The design is intended to resemble growing technology and children\'s playground equipment. The original idea was to hang 700 smaller balls of light from the ceiling that would place the viewer in a digital reality. Hashimoto had the goal of making a sculpture that was both digital and physical. But, to better approach the space at Studio La Città, a wooden tree was made. The idea of a tree came from images of trees that were dotted with paper prayers in the branches. A tree that became sacred while representing the influence of the digital world in American society, especially American children, was the position Hashimoto was aiming for.
Another part of this exhibit was a giant two-dimensional piece against the wall, made in 2008, named *Diving Deep and Surfacing*. This piece is built up with layers and layers of grass that appear artificial. Hashimoto admits that this piece came from inspiration from his previous exhibits. The grass had been applied to his many kite exhibits, but he had never attached the grass to a simple square shape before this exhibit. The ground approaching this piece is covered in a black sculpture. These black acrylic bases, called *Gun Metal Blue Waves*, also made in 2008, are designed based on ocean waves. Pushing the limits between digital and organic creations, Hashimoto created an organic sculpture from a mass digital creation. The black color is intended to force the viewer to notice the waves, despite the non-naturalistic colors.
A third room in the exhibit held the piece *Infinite Expanse of Sky* and *Superabundant Atmosphere.* Both of these works have been exhibited together previously. *Infinite Expanse of Sky* is a collection of rectangle kites that are blue with white clouds drawn on them. The original sculpture was created in 1998. *Superabundant Atmosphere* is a collection of white, oval kites. This piece was started originally exhibited in 2005. The slight variations between different exhibit locations include increasing the length and decreasing the width of the experience and placing the two pieces next to each other with the blue kites on the left and the white kites on the right. A bench was added at the front of the room. The seat gives the vantage point that Hashimoto determined is the most ideal for viewing the entirety of the piece. The kites are well above the viewer\'s head at the entrance of the room, but as the piece extends further back, the kites gradually become lower, until they hit the floor.
Other, more 2-dimensional kite works that were displayed in the *Landscapes of Vision* exhibit included *Hodge Podge*, 2008; *Grassscape,* 2008; *Descending Yellow Halo*, 2008; *Field of Green Blocks*, 2008; *Water for Elephants*, 2008; *Superliner*, 2007; *Velocity of Desire*, 2008; *Redshroom*, 2008; *Field of Yellow Blocks*, 2009; *Odds and Ends*, 2008; *Far Rockaway*, 2009; and *The Return*, 2009. There were also several rectangle paintings on paper and linen. These included *Vapors and Night Skies*, 2008; *Inverted Night Reflection*, 2008; *Single Black Cloud*, 2008; *Some Things You Can\'t Ignore*, 2008; and *Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel*, 2008. Of the painted pieces, all were done in acrylic. The first four listed are in all painted in greyscale. *Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel* is the only acrylic piece made with multiple colors.
### *Gas Giant* {#gas_giant}
This exhibit is made to be set up in two separate rooms. The first room consists of mostly black and white elements and is designed to lead the viewer into the second room. The second room is the focal point of the exhibit. An entire environment is created with the hanging paper kites. Square pieces with grass glued on collect in one corner. White, oval kites start low and lead the eye towards the ceiling where there is a multitude of shapes forming out of colorful kites. The exhibit was displayed a total of three times starting in 2012 at the Rhona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago. It was then moved to the Fondazione Querini Stampalia and finally the MOCA Pacific Design Center.
## Influences
Hashimoto claims that the idea that a piece can fully surround the viewer while maintaining some form of two-dimensionality comes from pieces made by Mark Rothko. Staring at a Rothko piece gave the idea of standing in a literal field of color and Hashimoto wanted to replicate that.
Although Oriental influence appears frequently in his work, Hashimoto claims to be affected by other elements as well. For example, during his time at school, much of his work reflected the styles of Robert Ryman and Agnes Martin and he adopted the strict grid format from both artists.
Inspired by Jessica Stockholder and Ann Hamilton\'s ability to turn a painting into a sculpture, Hashimoto took the first steps to surrounding and involving the viewer directly

# Jaime Gili
**Jaime Gili** (born in 1972, in Caracas) is a visual artist. He has been based in London since 1996.
## Education
After finishing secondary school in Caracas, he went on to study at IDD, Instituto de Diseño Fundación Neumann, in Caracas, an institution of historical importance which by then was in decline following Venezuela\'s downfall. When IDD closed, branching into a new school called Prodiseño, Gili continued studying and became one of its founding members. In 1990 he moved to Barcelona to complete a degree in Fine Arts (1990--1995) at University of Barcelona, where he also completed a PhD years later (1998--2001). In 1998 he moved to London, having won a scholarship at the Royal College of Art to complete an MA in painting. He has since settled in the United Kingdom. During his academy years he proudly took part in two Erasmus Programme exchanges, to continue studies in École des Beaux-Arts, Paris and Berlin\'s HdK, Berlin University of the Arts in the nineties. His main tutors throughout the years include Eugenio Espinoza and Fanny Krivoy in Caracas (1989-1990), Joan Hernández Pijuan and Joaquim Chancho in Barcelona (1992--1995), Claude Viallat in Paris (1994), and Peter Doig, Vanessa Jackson, John Dougill, Jo Stockham and Paul Huxley in London (1996--1998).
## Career
Throughout his career, Jaime Gili has developed the universal abstract language of the mid-20th Century from its Latin-American utopian rubble, into contemporary painting. More specifically, his work has been contextualised as a critical revision of Latin American abstraction, especially the Venezuelan optical and kinetic work of artists such as Carlos Cruz-Diez and Alejandro Otero, with an input from what had been left out, popular art and urban energy. The recent history of his native Venezuela has been present in his works in his exhibitions, notably in London at Cecilia Brunson Projects (Guarimba, 2017 and Loop, 2022) and in New York at Henrique Faría Fine Art (The dark paintings, 2018). The Venezuelan poet Adalber Salas Hernández described Gili's Dark Paintings as 'a geometry in ruins'.
Critic Fisun Guner wrote in 2003 about his show at the Jerwood Space: \"What do you get when you mix Pop Art, Minimalism, Vorticism, Futurism and graffiti art? The answer may well resemble the work of (\...) Jaime Gili.\" Venezuelan Curator Jesús Fuenmayor wrote in 2006 for the catalogue of Gili\'s show at Periférico Caracas that his paintings were \"as if someone had thrown a bomb at a work by Carlos Cruz-Diez\". Swiss curator Oliver Kielmayer, wrote in 2009 \"Jaime Gili seems to combine the wilderness of the jungle with a formalist and reductionist artistic language; the result is a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk, a crystalline pulsating organism that almost comes alive.\"
Gili has taken part in several colaborational and experimental projects, such as Caracas:Reset, curated by Rolando Carmona, at La Colonie (Art Space), Paris in 2018. In 2004 he was invited by curator Paul O´Neill `{{cite news |title=Paul O´Neill |url=https://www.pauloneill.org.uk/www.pauloneill.org.uk/curatorial/information/index.html}}`{=mediawiki} to be part of the experimental exhibition \"Coalesce\" at the London Print Studio, together with artists Kathrin Bohm and Eduardo Padilha. The experimental exhibition, \"an evolutionary, cumulative, exhibition project\", is a research and practice into the possibility of an exhibition as a form of co-production between multiple agencies. The Coalesce series has had seven iterations in twenty years, the most recent one in The Showroom, London, in 2024.
Gili has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including \'6 Bienal do Mercosul\' in Porto Alegre; \'Expander\' at the Royal Academy of Arts in London; \'Las tres calaveras\' at Periferico Caracas; \'Jump Cuts\' at CIFO in Miami; \'The Complex of Respect\' at Kunsthalle Bern; \"Bill at Pittier\" at Kunsthalle Winterthur and \'Indica\', a show recreating the 1960s Indica Gallery at Riflemaker in London. Other recent exhibitions, in Miami, Caracas and London, he has also been invited to make several permanent works integrated into architecture. In Venezuela he completed \"Diamante de las Semillitas\", a work in Petare, a very high density informal city with a colonial core in the East of Caracas. He was also chosen to create a site-specific design for 16 large industrial storage tanks, in what would become one of the world\'s largest public art projects 260000 sqft. Entitled \"Art All Around\", the event and work was produced by Maine Center for Creativity. The site is located along the Fore River in South Portland, Maine

# Richard B. Moore
**Richard Benjamin Moore** (9 August 1893 -- 1978) was a Barbados-born Afro-Caribbean civil rights activist, writer and prominent socialist. He was also one of the earliest advocates of the term African American, as opposed to Negro or \"black\".
## Early life {#early_life}
Richard Benjamin Moore was born on 9 August 1893 in Barbados, West Indies, to Richard Henry Moore and Josephine Thorne Moore. In Barbados, the family was considered to be in the middle class regarding socioeconomic status. Richard Henry Moore the family\'s moneymaker, worked as a preacher and building contractor in Barbados. Richard B. Moore's mother died when he was, three years old. Moore's father later remarried Elizabeth Mclean and soon died in 1902 when the young Richard was nine years old. With both biological parents dead, Moore was raised by his stepmother, Elizabeth Mclean.
Mclean wanted to carry out Richard Sr.\'s wishes of giving Richard the best education, so she aided Richard in traveling to the United States. Moore migrated to the United States and arrived in New York City on 4 July 1909. However, Moore would not become a naturalized citizen until 11 September 1924. Although African Americans were free in the United States, they were far from being treated equally to European-Americans. Moore immediately faced ethnic discrimination regarding employment and educational opportunities. Although trained in Barbados to do clerical work, he was forced to turn to other jobs such as an elevator operator and work in a silk manufacturing firm.
## Political activism {#political_activism}
The struggles that Moore encountered and observed made him become a strong advocate for the rights of African Americans. In 1919, he joined the African Blood Brotherhood (ABB), which was an organization formed to defend African Americans from race riots and lynching. Moore, along with other African-American advocates, joined the Socialist Party in the early 1920s. Moore joined the Socialist Party, partly because the Socialist Party was then transforming itself into a force to fight against segregation.
Moore was a frequent political candidate of the Communist Party. In 1928, he ran for the US Congress in New York\'s 21st congressional district. In 1934, Moore ran on the Socialist ticket for Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals. In 1935, he became the organizer for the International Labor Defense in the New England Territory. He used his position in that organization to speak on behalf of the Scottsboro Boys, a case in which nine young African-American males were accused of raping two young European-American women.
In 1942, Moore was expelled from the Communist Party because he was accused of being an African-American nationalist and kept African-American issues on the front burner.
He continued his efforts for equal rights in America. He also played a leading role in Caribbean advocacy groups. Moore, like his friend Hubert Harrison, was a bibliophile, collecting over 15,000 books and pamphlets on the African-American experiences worldwide. That collection of books is currently housed in a library that Moore developed in Barbados. Moore also ran the Frederick Douglass Book Center in Harlem.
Moore wrote a few books himself, including *The Name \"Negro\": Its Origin and Evil Use* (1960) and *Caribs, Cannibals and Human Relations* (1972). He also had essays and articles published in various magazines and journals, including the *Negro Champion*, *Daily Worker*, and *Freedomways*.
## Death
Moore died in his homeland of Barbados in 1978, at the age of 85

# The Dome (periodical)
***The Dome***, subtitled consecutively \"A Quarterly Containing Examples of All the Arts\" and \"An Illustrated Monthly Magazine and Review\", was a literary periodical associated with the \"Nineties\" scene, edited by Ernest J. Oldmeadow, publisher and manager of The Unicorn Press based in London at 7 Cecil Court. It ran for three years, from March 1897 to July 1900. It is usually considered to be the last more or less successful attempt to deliver a valuable literary magazine with a considerable circulation, yet working from an Aestheticist rationale, according to Walter Pater\'s concepts.
Even more than its decadent movement predecessors *The Yellow Book* (published 1884--97) and *The Savoy* (1896), *The Dome* dealt with both visual and verbal art, and it also covered music and theatre. It was known for its in-depth studies of painters which rose above the level of mere appreciations, and often championed promising talents such as Edward Elgar. The magazine was the last example of British avant-garde publications which focused on aesthetics since the future avant-garde magazines would focus on modernism.

# Canavalia
***Canavalia*** is a genus of plants in the legume family (Fabaceae) that comprises approximately 62 species of tropical vines. Members of the genus are commonly known as **jack-beans**. It has a pantropical distribution.
The species of *Canavalia* endemic to the Hawaiian Islands were named ***`{{okina}}`{=mediawiki}āwikiwiki*** by the Native Hawaiians. The name translates to \"the very quick one\" and comes from the Hawaiian word for \"fast\". The genus name is derived from the Malabar word for the species, *kavavali*, which means \"forest climber.\"
## Uses
Several species are valued legume crops, including common jack-bean (*C. ensiformis*), sword bean (*C. gladiata*) and *C. cathartica*. At least the first makes a beneficial weed- and pathogen-suppressing living mulch. The common jack-bean is also a source of the lectin concanavalin A, which is used as a reagent in glycoprotein biochemistry and immunology. The jack-bean is also a common source of purified urease enzyme used in scientific research.
The bay bean (*Canavalia rosea*) is supposedly mildly psychoactive when smoked, and is used in tobacco substitutes.
## Ecology
Some animals have adaptations to the defensive chemicals of jack-beans. Caterpillars such as that of the two-barred flasher (*Astraptes fulgerator*) are sometimes found on *Canavalia*. The plant pathogenic ascomycete fungus *Mycosphaerella canavaliae* was described from a jack-bean. Introduced herbivores have wreaked havoc on *Canavalia* on the Hawaiian Islands and made some nearly extinct; it may be that these lost their chemical defenses because no herbivorous mammals existed in their range until introduced by humans. The usually bright pea-flowers are pollinated by insects such as solitary bees and carpenter bees such as *Xylocopa confusa*.
## History
The genus name *Canavalia* was, as recently as 1913, known as *Canavali*. The name of the genus comes from a common name for *Canavalia rosea* used in India and adapted by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle.

# Jeppe Hein
**Jeppe Hein** (born 1 August 1974, Copenhagen, Denmark) is an artist based in Berlin and Copenhagen. His interactive sculptures and installations combine elements of humour with the 1970s traditions of minimalism and conceptual art.
## Education
Hein studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art between 1997 and 2003 and at the Städelschule in Frankfurt between 1999 and 2000 (while registered as an associate student of the Danish Academy). As a student Hein was co-founder of OTTO, a non-commercial organisation that organised art exhibitions at various venues in Denmark between 1997 and 2000.
## Work
In 2008, Hein collaborated with Dan Graham on a temporary pavilion in Cologne.
Between September 2009 and January 2010, Hein stayed at Alexander Calder's studio in Saché, France, as a part of an artist in residence programme.
*Modified Social Benches* located in the Montenmedio Sculpture Park, Cadiz, Spain. These benches are also located in other places around the world, including Miami, Helsinki, Auckland and Thun, Switzerland. They are also found on the campus of Claremont McKenna College, his first work for a U.S college.
### Folly
At Houghton Hall in Norfolk, the Marquess of Cholmondeley commissioned an \"artlandish\" folly in a scale appropriate for a five-acre walled garden. Hein created a site-specific outdoor sculpture for this space. In all seasons, this jet of water surmounted by a ball of flame illustrates a 21st-century folly on a smaller scale than other contemporary land art pieces in the parkland outside the garden enclosure. The work is intended \"to surprise viewers and make them question what they are seeing.\" Hein wants to elicit
: \"\... an incongruous dialogue between the art and the viewer and to use humour to broaden the limits of conceptual art. I want to show that the work isn't anything on its own, it is only what the public informs it with. The viewers' role brings the piece to the centre of attention.\"
### Karriere Bar {#karriere_bar}
Hein is co-founder of Karriere Bar, a bar and restaurant in Copenhagen featuring site-specific artworks by international artists, which he founded with his sister Lærke Hein.
## Exhibitions
Hein has had solo exhibitions at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa; and Art Tower, Mito; the Neues Museum, Nürnberg; Indianapolis Museum of Art (2010); Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts; ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Århus (2009); Sculpture Center, New York; and P.S.1 MOMA, New York (2004). He has participated in solo and group exhibitions at Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Tate Modern, London; Barbican Art Centre, London (2007); Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; MOCA, Los Angeles; and 50th Venice Biennale (2003).

# East Rockaway station
**East Rockaway** is one of two Long Island Rail Road stations located within the Incorporated Village of East Rockaway, in Nassau County, New York. The station is located at Atlantic and Ocean Avenues.
## History
The station was established in October 1880 with the opening of the New York and Long Beach Railroad (NY&LB), on the west side of Ocean Avenue and the east side of the tracks, and contained a freight house that was built between October 1 and November 5, 1880. The station became part of the LIRR system in 1909, when the NY&LB merged with the LIRR. The original station house was razed in 1942.
On December 11, 1951, the station was relocated to its current address and combined with the former Atlantic Avenue station.
Access to the NICE n36 bus was available until April 9, 2017.
### Atlantic Avenue station {#atlantic_avenue_station}
The **Atlantic Avenue** station was originally a signal station on the NY&LB dating back to April 1898. It was located just south of Atlantic Avenue on the east side of the tracks, and was discontinued in 1951. However, due to its 1100 ft proximity to East Rockaway station, the LIRR was seeking permission from the New York Public Service Commission to eliminate it as far back as November 1912.
## Station layout {#station_layout}
This station has two high-level side platforms with shelters, each 10 cars long, along with shelters and ticket vending machines. Parking is available on Davison Plaza and in a lot on Ocean Avenue. Parking permits are issued by the Village of East Rockaway

# Canavalia gladiata
***Canavalia gladiata***, the **sword bean** or **scimitar bean**, is a domesticated plant species in the legume family Fabaceae. It is used as a vegetable in interior central and south central India, though not commercially farmed. The unripe pods are also eaten as a vegetable in Africa and Asia.
The term \"sword bean\" is also used for other legumes, notably the common jack bean *Canavalia ensiformis*.
## Description
### Appearance and Leaves {#appearance_and_leaves}
Sword beans are a climbing, herbaceous vine that can reach lengths of up to 10 meters under optimal conditions.
### Inflorescence and Flowers {#inflorescence_and_flowers}
The inflorescence is a raceme bearing 10 to 20 flowers, which are either white or light purple. Each flower measures approximately 3 cm in length.
### Fruits and Seeds {#fruits_and_seeds}
The fruits are shaped as long, straight, slightly compressed pods, measuring 20-40 (up to 60) cm with a rough surface. Each pod contains 8 to 16 seeds, which are oblong-ellipsoid, variable in color, ranging from red and red-brown to white or black. The hilum is dark brown and extends the full length of the seed.
## Origin
*Canavalia gladiata* is believed to have come from the Old World, probably in eastern Asia, where domestication likely started. Still today, sword beans are widely distributed in those regions. Sword beans are most commonly cultivated in the south, southeast, and east Asia. It is also common in Saudi Arabia, East Africa, South Africa, and Madagascar. Historically, its primary use was for food and traditional medicine.
## Taxonomy
The genus *Canavalia* includes about 60 species, two of which are cultivated for food, cover crop, green manure and medicine: jack beans (*Canavalia ensiformis* (L.) DC.) and sword beans (*C. gladiata* (Jacq.) DC).
Sword beans are originally described as *Dolichos gladiatus* by Jaquin in 1788. In 1825, Augustin-Pyrame de Candolle published the species as *Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC.*, which is the scientific name currently used for sword bean. Over time sword beans have been known by several names based on varying classifications (see list of synonymes below).

- *Dolichos gladiatus* Jacquin
- *Dolichos incurvus* Thunb.
- *Malocchia gladiata* (Jacq.) Savi.
## Cultivation
Sword beans can be found from sea level up to 900 m elevation. They need temperatures between 20 and 30 °C to grow and about 900 -- 1500 mm evenly distributed rainfall per year.
The average yield of sword beans can reach 720 -- 1500 kg/ha. To be used as vegetable, the pods are harvested after 3 to 5 months of growth, when they are about 12.5 to 15 cm long, before the seeds swell and become hard. For the seeds to mature about 6 to 10 months of growth are needed.
Sword beans can tolerate a wide range of soil types with a pH between 4.3 - 6.8. It has a deep-rooted system and can survive drought conditions. The seeds are sown 2 -- 3 cm deep with 45 -- 60 cm distance between plants within a row. Row spacing is around 75 -- 90 cm.
### Diseases
Sword beans are relatively resistant to diseases and pests. A major disease affecting sword beans is Anthracnose, which is caused by fungal pathogens of Colletotrichum species. Severe lesions can be found both on the stem and leaves.
Research has also shown that Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) can infect the sword bean. Previously it has been known to infect several legumes and cause some of the most economically important diseases on legume crops. BCMV could gain importance in sword bean production in the future, if sword bean is grown more widely as BCMV is reported to cause major yield losses in legumes.

## Nutritional Composition and Toxicity {#nutritional_composition_and_toxicity}
### Nutritional Composition {#nutritional_composition}
Dried sword beans are a highly nutritious wild legume, notable for their high protein content on a dry weight basis. Each 100g of seed flour provides 59g of carbohydrates, 24.5g of protein, and 2.6g of fat, along with 7.4g of fiber, while retaining 10.7g of moisture. This nutrient profile delivers an energy value of 1,453 kJ per 100g.
### Mineral Content {#mineral_content}
The beans are also rich in minerals, containing 109.3 mg of sodium, 1639.5 mg of potassium, 510.1 mg of calcium, 480.9 mg of magnesium, and 601.2 mg of phosphorus. Additionally, trace minerals are present, including 10.9 mg of iron, 0.8 mg of copper, 6.6 mg of zinc, and 2.2 mg of manganese.

--------------------------- --------------------------------------- ---------------------------
### Toxicity
Despite nutritional potential in terms of protein content sword beans are not used as food. This is partly due to the presence of harmful factors such as haemagglutinis (concanavalin A), protease inhibitors, hydrocyanic acid, tannins, phytates and canavanine. Canavanine is contained in the seeds of the plants (the content is between 10% and 13%). It interferes with protein synthesis and has a nutrition-inhibiting effect on animals and humans. Soaking overnight and boiling in excess water followed by decanting resulted in the greatest reduction in canavanine content (approx. 50%), followed by boiling and decanting in excess water (34%).

## Uses
### Food
Records of food usage can be found in multiple countries. Multiple methods were developed to deal with the antinutritive components of sword beans.
Young leaves, flowers, tender green pods and seeds are edible after cooking. The young pods are sliced and cooked or eaten raw. Young seeds are edible after cooking, and the mature seeds are as well, but only after prolonged cooking. In Japan, the young, tender pods are processed into several kinds of pickles called "*Fukujin-zuke"*, "*Nuka-zuke*", and "*Miso-zuke"*. In Java, the de-skinned and twice-boiled seeds are left in running water for 2 days, allowed to ferment for 3--4 days and cooked before being eaten as flavouring. After steaming, they also use young leaves and flowers as flavoring.
In Cuba, seeds are used as a substitute for coffee. Multiple countries use it as part of their traditional medicine. In India, the sword bean was a staple of ancient food practices but is less popular nowadays. Sword bean is one of the legumes used in Ghana for inexpensive, nutritive meals.
### Feed
Fewer information about historical use as feed is available. However, two recent studies investigated its potential as such.
Sword bean nutritive value was investigated for rats' nutrition. A diet made exclusively of raw sword bean seeds proved to have a negative effect on weight gain compared to a reference diet. However, this negative effect was decreased when beans were processed to decrease their toxicity.
Another study investigated whether it could partly replace soybeans in broilers' diets. Results showed that replacing 30% of soybean with processed sword bean did not result in any adverse effect on broilers' health and growth. Additionally, its foliage provides a good leaf meal for use in animal feeds.
### Traditional medicine {#traditional_medicine}
Multiple countries have used sword beans in their traditional medicine. In Korea, it is thought to help with many ailments such as vomiting, abdominal dropsy, kidney-related lumbago, asthma, obesity, stomach-ache, dysentery, coughs, headache, intercostal neuralgia, epilepsy, schizophrenia, inflammatory diseases, and swelling. Additionally, sword bean extract is used in soap to treat athlete's foot and acne.
In Japan, it was also used for ozena, haemorrhoids, pyorrhea, otitis media, boils, cancers, inflammatory diseases and atopic dermatitis.
In Peninsular Malaysia, the leaves were used by the Malays to treat gonorrhoea. The leaves were used with other substances in a tonic that was squeezed into the eyes. The plant was pounded and applied to boils. The seeds were also used medicinally.
It is also used in Tibetan medicine in combination with other plants.
The Hakka people of China use the sword bean root in their traditional medicine as a decoction against knee pain (genu arthralgia).
Current scientific studies have proved that sword bean has medically valuable actions such as being an antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-HIV, vasodilator, and anti-osteoporosis.
### Green Manure {#green_manure}
Canavalia gladiata is often grown as a cover crop, as green manure (due to its nitrogen-fixing ability) and as forage crop

# Bristol slave trade
thumb\|upright\|Statue of slave trader Edward Colston, formerly in The Centre, Bristol, erected in 1895, toppled in 2020
Bristol, a port city in the South West of England, on the banks of the River Avon, has been an important location for maritime trade for centuries.
In the time of Anglo-Saxon England, Bristol was the principal port for the export of English slaves to Ireland.
Bristol was the leading English port in the transatlantic slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. It has been estimated that Bristol merchants traded over 500,000 enslaved African people.
## Anglo-Saxon slave trade {#anglo_saxon_slave_trade}
Before the Norman conquest of England in 1066, English slaves were exported to Ireland from a number of ports, including Chester, but Bristol was the main centre, and slaves were brought there from all over the country for export. This trade was brought to an end when William the Conqueror reluctantly agreed to ban the Anglo-Irish slave trade, as a result of a vigorous campaign by Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, supported by Lanfranc, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
## Transatlantic slave trade {#transatlantic_slave_trade}
upright=1.5\|thumb\|Stowage of a British slave ship, *Brookes* (1788) *Main article: Atlantic slave trade*
### Bristol\'s entry into the transatlantic slave trade {#bristols_entry_into_the_transatlantic_slave_trade}
The Royal African Company, based in the City of London, controlled all trade between the Kingdom of England and Africa from 1672 to 1698. At this time, only ships owned by members of the Royal African Company could trade with Africa for anything. Slaves were an increasingly important commodity at the time, since the English colonisation of the Caribbean and the Americas in the 17th century had created sugar, rum, tobacco, and cotton plantations, which all needed plentiful cheap labour.
The Society of Merchant Venturers, an organisation of rich merchants in Bristol, wanted to participate in the African slave trade, and after much pressure from them and traders in other English cities, including Liverpool and Hull, the Royal African Company\'s monopoly over the slave trade was broken in 1698. As soon as it was broken, Bristol commenced its participation, although it is thought that unlawful involvement in the trade had preceded this. What is thought to have been the first \"legitimate\" Bristol slave ship, the *Beginning*, owned by Stephen Barker, purchased a cargo of enslaved Africans and delivered them to the Caribbean.`{{self-published inline|date=June 2020}}`{=mediawiki} Some typical slave prices were then £20, £50, or £100. In her will of 1693, Jane Bridges, a widow of Leigh-upon-Mendip, bequeathed her interest of £130 in this ship to her grandson Thomas Bridges, indicating that the vessel was owned in the City of Bristol. Due to the over-crowding and harsh conditions on the ships, it is estimated that approximately half of each cargo of slaves did not survive the trip across the Atlantic.
Bristol became one of the biggest centres of the transatlantic slave trade between 1725 and 1740, when it is estimated that profits of 5-20% were made from the trading of black slaves. Between 1730 and 1745, it became the leading English slaving port.
By the 1730s, an average of 39 slave ships left Bristol each year, and between 1739 and 1748, there were 245 slaving voyages from Bristol (about 37.6% of the whole British trade). In the final years of the British slave trade, Bristol\'s share of it decreased to 62 voyages, or 3.3% of the trade in Great Britain -- in comparison, Liverpool\'s share increased to 62% (1,605 voyages).
In 1750 alone, Bristol ships transported approximately 8,000 of the 20,000 enslaved Africans sent that year to the British Caribbean and North America.
### Number of enslaved African people traded {#number_of_enslaved_african_people_traded}
thumb\|upright=0.8\|left\|\"Am I not a woman and a sister?\" antislavery medallion from the late 18th century
An estimated 2,108 slaving ventures departed from Bristol between 1698 and 1807. The average number of enslaved people on a ship was considered to be in excess of 250. It is therefore estimated that merchants in Bristol were responsible for more than 500,000 enslaved African people being shipped to the Caribbean and North America.
### Triangular trade {#triangular_trade}
The triangular trade was a route taken by slave merchants between England, Northwest Africa and the Caribbean during the years 1697 to 1807. Bristol ships traded their goods for enslaved people from south-east Nigeria and Angola, which were then known as Calabar and Bonny. They exchanged goods produced in Bristol like copper and brass goods as well as gunpowder, which were offered as payment of shares in the voyages by Bristol tradesmen and manufacturers. The ships set sail to St Kitts, Barbados and Virginia to supply English colonies requiring free or cheap labour to work on sugar and tobacco plantations, with enslaved Africans. Alongside slaves, the colonies were supplied with a wide range of goods for the plantations by the Bristol ships; this included guns, agricultural implements, foodstuffs, soap, candles, ladies\' boots and \"Negro cloths\" for the enslaved, from which the British economy benefited. Some Bristol slave merchants were also importers of goods produced in the plantations. This meant that the Bristol economy was intrinsically linked to slave-produced Caribbean goods such as sugar, rum, indigo and cocoa. These goods were imported for sugar refining, tobacco processing and chocolate manufacturing; all important local industries which employed thousands of working-class people in Bristol and the surrounding areas.

# Bristol slave trade
## Legacy
### Racism
The slave trade significantly influenced the growth of racist theory as a method for society to justify itself. Stories of slave rebellions, runaways and attacks on plantation owners in the colonies were printed in the British press to perpetuate the myth that Black people were unreasonable and violent.
### Street names, schools and public buildings {#street_names_schools_and_public_buildings}
upright=1.5\|thumb\|Bristol Beacon, formerly Colston Hall, in Bristol
Street names such as Guinea Street, Jamaica Street, Codrington Place, Tyndall\'s Park, Worral and Stapleton Roads are references to Bristol\'s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. Using the wealth generated from the slave trade, merchants invested in purchasing land, cultural buildings and upgrading ships in Bristol. The Theatre Royal, Bristol, which is the second oldest working theatre in the country, was built as a result of very wealthy subscribers (that directly or indirectly benefited from businesses involved in the slave trade) each pledging a sum of money for the building. Some buildings and institutions such as schools were named after their slave trading benefactors; for example, Colston Hall, Colston Girls School and Colston Primary School (since renamed to Bristol Beacon, Montpelier High School, and Cotham Gardens Primary School respectively) were named after Edward Colston, Bristol\'s most famous philanthropist, a Bristol-born slave trader, senior manager of the Royal African Company and member of the Society of Merchant Venturers.
The Georgian House in Bristol was built for John Pinney (1740--1818) who owned several sugar plantations in the West Indies. From 1762 to 1783, Pinney lived on the island of Nevis, running his plantations, but in 1783 he returned to England and settled in Bristol. When Pinney moved to Bristol, he brought two black attendants with him, Fanny Coker and Pero Jones, both of whom he had bought in 1765. Pero was twelve years old when bought along with his two sisters, Nancy and Sheeba, then six years old. There is related original documentation held by the University of Bristol library, for example, the record of when Pinney bought Pero and his two sisters and proof of their age when bought. Pero\'s sisters Nancy and Sheeba were left behind to work on the Montravers plantation in Nevis. Pero died in 1798, aged 45 in Ashton, Bristol. Built in his memory, Pero\'s Bridge, a footbridge across the River Frome in the docks of Bristol, was opened in 1999.
### Commercial
Several Bristol banks, such as the Bristol Old Bank, were founded by prominent slave traders and merchants, such as Isaac Elton.`{{self-published inline|date=June 2020}}`{=mediawiki} They have amalgamated and changed names many times before becoming part of other institutions, notably NatWest.
### Profit and wealth {#profit_and_wealth}
Residents in Bristol could financially benefit from the slave trade in a myriad of ways. This was primarily from investing in the slave voyages, which were sometimes funded by as many as eight investors. They also benefited from industries which facilitated the slave trade, for example, employment in the production of goods that were exported to the plantations and to Africa, employment in the ships which carried enslaved Africans and local goods and, from the handling and further refinement of cargoes received from the plantations. It is estimated that by the late 1780s, Bristol earned £525,000 per year from all of these slave-related commercial activities. Since this was past the peak of Bristol\'s participation in the slave trade, it is likely that Bristol\'s earnings from the commercialisation of enslaved Africans and related activities were much higher in the earlier 18th century.
Whilst the Bristol economy benefited, it was primarily the merchants that owned the ships who made significant material gains in their personal family wealth. The merchants were organised as a group in the Merchant Venturers Society. Given their status with holding leadership positions in Bristol, the Society was able to successfully oppose movements to abolish the slave trade in the late 1700s in order to maintain their power and source of wealth. The slave trade in the British Empire was abolished in 1807 however the institution itself was not outlawed until 1834. Following the Slave Compensation Act 1837, which compensated slave owners for the loss of what was considered their property, according to the Bristol Museums, plantation owners based in Bristol claimed over £500,000, equivalent to £2bn in 2020.
### In popular culture {#in_popular_culture}

### Museums
M Shed in Bristol explore Bristol\'s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade in their \"Bristol People\" gallery. It features a section on the legacies of the slave trade on some of Bristol\'s public institutions. It features the antislavery movement as the beginning of a display on modern public protests including the Bristol Bus Boycott, treating the abolition campaign as the start of a British tradition of society campaigning. M Shed held a workshop on Bristol and the Transatlantic slave trade from September 2019 to July 2020. This workshop encouraged students to investigate historic objects, modern attitudes and opinions and to consider how Bristol was changed by its involvement in the slave trade. M Shed also held a workshop in February 2020 on \"Slavery, public history and the British country house\", outlining the historic links to slavery of many country houses in the south west of England.

The label hosted several other Bristol-based artists, including Praise Space Electric (a Moonflowers spin-off featuring members of that band), Me, Ecstatic Orange, and Mammal, among others.
Known for their colourful and spectacular live shows---designed and built by Liam Yeates---the band toured extensively across the UK, Europe and Japan.
## History
The band formed in 1987 and released their debut EP, *We Dig Your Earth*, in 1989. After a one-off single on Heavenly Records the following year \"Get Higher\"), singer The Reverend Sonik Ray (born Sean O\'Neill) set up his own Pop God label for subsequent releases. The band received publicity after appearing in court for refusing to pay the poll tax, and appearing naked in the *NME* to promote their \"Warshag\" single. The band\'s debut album, *Hash Smits*, was released in December 1991, followed two years later by second album *From Whales to Jupiter: Beyond the Stars of Rainbohemia*. May 1995 saw the release of the *Shake it Together* EP and also an album that has been credited as having the longest title in history, *We Would Fly Away (We Could Fly Away Never Look Back and Leave the World to Spin Silently in a Suicide Pact and all the Colours and Sounds That Pass Through Us in Space Fall Down to the Earth and Put a Smile on its Face)*.
The band relocated to France where they spent time busking, before returning to the studio for the Japan-only releases *Brainwashing and Heartists Blue Life Stripes* (1997) and *Don\'t Just Sit There\...Fly* (2000) before splitting up.
Guitarist Jesse D Vernon had formed Morning Star in 1997, often featuring Jim Barr and John Parish, releasing four albums between 1997 and 2010. O\'Neill formed a new band, Solar Mumuns, and released the album *Breaking Waters* in 2002.
Drummer Toby Pascoe died on 1 June 2001.
The Moonflowers reformed for a gig at the Cube Microplex on 11 November 2011.
Two of the band's record sleeves, the EPs We Dig Your Earth and Get Higher, were featured in the exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2025.

# St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Pittsburgh)
**St. Peter\'s Episcopal Church** in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was an early example of the archaeological phase of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by the Philadelphia architect John Notman. It was originally built in 1851 at the corner of Grant and Diamond streets as a chapel of ease for Trinity Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. The church and its site were purchased by Henry Clay Frick. The building itself was donated back to the congregation. It was dismantled, the stones numbered, and taken up Forbes Avenue in horsedrawn wagons to the corner of Forbes and Craft avenues, where it was reconstructed in 1901. It received a plaque from the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. The church was deconsecrated in September 1989, and the building was demolished

# Asherton Independent School District
**Asherton Independent School District** was a public school district based in the community of Asherton, Texas (USA).
The community is located along the Mexico--United States border, southwest of San Antonio.
The district existed until 1999, when it was ordered to consolidate with Carrizo Springs schools by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to form the Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District. The TEA determined that the Asherton ISD had not followed proper procedures in assessing school property taxes, which was the basis for its closure. TEA officials stated that \"financial instability/insolvency\" was the reason behind the district\'s dissolution.
The Carrizo Springs district moved all students in grades 7-12 into its existing junior high and high schools, but left the Asherton school open to serve grades PreK-6.
## District enrollment (1988-1999) {#district_enrollment_1988_1999}
- 1988-89 - 419 students
- 1989-90 - 414 students
- 1990-91 - 474 students
- 1991-92 - 444 students
- 1992-93 - 436 students
- 1993-94 - 430 students
- 1994-95 - 401 students
- 1995-96 - 388 students
- 1996-97 - 392 students
- 1997-98 - 365 students
- 1998-99 - 364 students
The ethnic composition of Asherton ISD in its final year of operation (1998--99) was 98% Hispanic, 1% White, and 1% African American. Of the 364 students, 330 (90.7%) were considered economically disadvantaged.
## Student performance {#student_performance}
Asherton ISD\'s performance on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS), a state standardized test used from 1991 to 2003, generally met state standards. The elementary and high school campuses consistently received ratings of \"Acceptable\" based on the number of students passing each section of the TAAS test. The district received a separate rating of \"Academically Unacceptable: Special Accreditation Investigation (SAI)\" in its final four years of operation. Unlike an \"Academically Unacceptable\" rating, that was designated for districts with low student test performance, \"Academically Unacceptable: SAI\" ratings were based on problems in governance, finances, testing practice, compliance with federal regulation, and/or administrative management

# Edward Hull (watercolourist)
**Edward Hull** (1823 -- 3 February 1906) was a British illustrator and watercolourist who exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. He was the brother of William Hull, another well known illustrator and watercolour painter.
## Biography
Hull was born in Keysoe in Bedfordshire, England, the fourth son (and sixth child) of a farmer, James Hull, who became a Moravian missionary to Manchester. He was an engraver who also painted many watercolours and, in later life, became known as a book illustrator. He was employed from 1855 to 1861 by *The Illustrated Times*, a successful London weekly, and was an illustrator for several books such as *Stratford on Avon* by Sidney Lee (published around 1890) and *The Laureate\'s Country* (a book on Alfred Tennyson) by Alfred J. Church, published around the same time.
Hull symbolises the spirit of illustration in the 19th century. The great illustrators such as Phiz (who illustrated many of Dickens\'s books) are well known. Hull represents the many who plied their trade in periodicals and books before the advent of photography in the early 20th century. Hull was also a wood-engraver as recognised by his inclusion in Rodney Engen\'s *Dictionary of Victorian Wood Engravers* (1990).
Hull lived most of his life in London. He travelled widely in England as his paintings and illustrations show. He married and had two daughters and three granddaughters. He died on 3 February 1906 and is buried in St Peters Church at Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire.
The Royal Academy shows a number of Hull\'s paintings being exhibited there to 1874. The earliest one shown from 1827 is by another Edward Hull, a son of Thomas Henry Hull -- a well-known miniaturist -- and originally thought to be a relative of Edward Hull (1823--1906), but they are no longer thought to be related. The two are often confused. There is also another Edward Hull who was a furniture maker and shop owner who was a close friend of Augustus Pugin (the designer of much of the interior of the House of Commons). He also lived in London at the same time but is also not related.

# Basel Minster
**Basel Minster** (German: *Basler Münster*) is a religious building in the Swiss city of Basel, originally a Roman Catholic cathedral and today a Reformed Protestant church.
The original cathedral was built between 1019 and 1500 in Romanesque and Gothic styles. The late Romanesque building, destroyed by the 1356 Basel earthquake, was rebuilt by Johannes Gmünd, who was at the same time employed for building the Freiburg Münster. Ulrich von Ensingen, architect of the towers at the Ulm Minster and the Strasbourg Cathedral, extended the building from 1421. Hans Nußdorf completed the southern Martinstower (after St.Martin) in 1500.
One of the main landmarks and tourist attractions of Basel, it adds definition to the cityscape with its red sandstone architecture and coloured roof tiles, its two slim towers and the cross-shaped intersection of the main roof. The Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance lists the Münster as a heritage site of national significance.
## Building history {#building_history}
### Early structures {#early_structures}
The hill on which the Minster is located today was a Celtic fortified city in the late Celtic Era in first century BC. The Gallic wall of this city was uncovered during archeological excavations in 1970. Both, the gate site and the historical run of the street, can be partly retraced. This road parted at today\'s position of the Minster where it is presumed there was a small temple that later was replaced by a Roman fort.
The first bishop of Basel is claimed to be Justinianus (343--346 AD). The bishop\'s see was relocated from Augusta Raurica (today Kaiseraugst) to Minster hill during the Early Middle Ages. According to the archeologist Hans Rudolf Sennhauser this transfer presumably took place at the beginning of the 7th century under bishop Ragnacharius, a former monk of monastery Luxeuil. There is no historical evidence for the existence of a cathedral before the 9th century.
### Second church structure -- the Heinrich Münster {#second_church_structure_the_heinrich_münster}
Built on the old foundations of the Haito Minster some time after the turn of the first millennium a new building in the early Romanesque style of the Ottonian period was built by order of Bishop Adalberto II (c. 999--1025). Sometimes called "Adalberto Cathedral", the three-nave cathedral is actually named after its patron Emperor Henry II, in German "Heinrich". The cathedral is dedicated to Henry II and his wife Kunigunde. The prince-bishop governed the city as representative of the Emperor who gained possession of Basel in 1006.
Excavations from 1973 to 1974 prove that the crypt of this building, consecrated in 1019, had not been expanded. At the end of the 11th century a tower made of light-colored limestone and molasse was erected on the western side of the building. This historic structure remains forming the bottom part of the north tower (*Georgsturm*) today. Heinrich Minster did not possess a tower on the south side.
### Third church structure -- late Romanesque {#third_church_structure_late_romanesque}
The building as it stands today dates back for the most part to the late Romanesque building constructed in the last third of the 12th century and completed around 1225. On the foundations of the previous buildings a church with three naves and a transept was built. The western facade was finished sometime in the latter part of the 13th century. A third storey was added to northern Georgsturm, and the southern *Martinsturm* was started.
Even though supported by massive pillars, an earthquake in 1356 destroyed five towers, the choir and various vaults. Johannes Gmünd, who was also the architect of Freiburg Minster, rebuilt the damaged cathedral and in 1363 the main altar was consecrated. In 1421 Ulrich von Ensingen, who constructed the towers of the minsters in Ulm and Strasbourg, began the extension of the northern tower (*Georgsturm*). This phase ended in 1429. The southern tower (*Martinsturm*) was completed by Hans Nussdorf on 23 July 1500. This date marks the official architectural completion of the minster. In the 15th century the major and the minor cloisters were added. The minster served as a bishop's see until 1529 during the Reformation. Today\'s congregation forms part of the Evangelical-Reformed Church of the Canton Basel-Stadt. In the 19th century two major restorations took place. From 1852 until 1857 the rood screen was moved and the crypt on the western side was closed. In the 20th century the main aim of renovations has been to emphasize the late Romanesque architecture and to reverse some modifications made in the 1850s. Additionally, the floor was returned to its original level in 1975 and the crypt reopened. A workshop dedicated to taking care of the increasingly deteriorating sandstone exterior was set up in 1985.

## Important historical events {#important_historical_events}
### Pope\'s Election at Basel Cathedral {#popes_election_at_basel_cathedral}
In 1424, Pope Martin V informed Basel's government that their city has been chosen to be the site of the next council. The main goal of the meetings held by Basel's council between 1431 and 1449 was to implement a church reform. Following the orders of Pope Eugene IV, president of the council at that time, Julian Cesarini, left Basel in 1438. One year later, on 24 July 1440, Felix V was elected as a counter pope at Basel's Münsterplatz. The German Emperor, Frederick III, arranged for the dissolution of the council in Basel because Felix V could not prevail. After the closure of the pontifical university, citizens made an effort to establish a new university. The council's secretary, Pope Pius II, made it possible to enact the papal bull and to open the Basel University as an independent university on 4 April 1460.
### Destruction of religious paintings {#destruction_of_religious_paintings}
During the iconoclasm of the Protestant Reformation, many valuable pieces of art belonging to the city of Basel and the minster were destroyed in 1528 and 1529. Numerous citizens stormed many of the churches in Basel, some of them by armed force in order to demolish religious paintings and statues. Huldrych Zwingli, an influential church reformer, condemned the worship of God in the form of pictures as idolatry.
A group of 40 armed men is said to have ascended to the minster from the crowded market place at approximately 1 pm on 9 February 1529. After a first attack on the church, during which an altarpiece was tipped over and smashed, they departed for reinforcements. The chaplains took the opportunity to lock the gates of the minster. The returning mob of 200 loud and rowdy men assaulted and finally smashed through the barrier. Once inside the church they destroyed altars, crucifixes, and images of the Virgin Mary and saints. In the course of the afternoon the iconoclasm extended to other churches in Basel as well.
The impressive treasure of the minster was saved and remained complete until the Canton of Basel was split into \"half-cantons\" in 1833. In the 1850s new stained glass windows by Franz Xaver Eggert have been installed.

## Architecture
### Georgsturm and Martinsturm {#georgsturm_and_martinsturm}
The main front which points at the west is bestrided by two towers. The northern tower is called *Georgsturm* (64.2 m) and the southern tower is called *Martinsturm* (62.7 m). The towers are named after Georg and Martin, saints of the knights. Copies of both saints are portrayed by corresponding equestrian sculptures next to the main entrance upon high pilasters below the particular towers. The statue of Holy Martin originated from the year 1340; today, the archetype can be found in the Klingentalmuseum. A mechanic clock and a sundial are located above the archetype. It is remarkable that the sundial of the Basler Münster shows the "wrong time" due to the Basler Zeit. Below the Georgsturm a monumental picture (1372) can be found which shows *knight Georg* fighting against a remarkably small dragon.
After a heavy earthquake in 1356 the Münster, which originally had five steeples, was reconstructed with only two steeples remaining. At the older Georgsturm, the lower brighter part that has remained untouched, can still be seen. In 1500 a gorgeous finial was put on top of the Martinsturm. By using the steep spiral stairs in the southern steeple it is possible to see the old church clock from 1883. The belfry is situated in between the two steeples which are connected through a gallery. Georgturm and Martinsturm can both be accessed by 242 stairs. From there one can get an overwhelming view of the city of Basel and the foothills of the Black Forest and the Jura Mountains.
Both of the steeples consist of three lower, undivided storeys and several Freigeschosse. The two lower storeys are simple and block-like. The steeples' upper storeys soar up the tracery gallery. As those were not constructed simultaneously, they differ slightly in their outer appearance. In contrast to the southern steeple, the octagonally cross-sectioned steeple and the steeple topping attach only over a rectangle storey at the northern steeple. Comparable to the Freiburger Münster, lank Fialentürme project at the corners of the octagons.
### Main Porch {#main_porch}
An empty column, which originally carried a statue of the Virgin Mary, is situated between the doors of the main porch. As it is typical of many other Gothic church porches, the tympanum above is likely to have depicted the Last Judgement. Both were destroyed during the Reformation Era. In contrast, the curvatures depicting prophets and kings, roses, dancing angels and Abraham have been preserved.
The benefactors Henry II and his wife, Empress Kunigunde, are portrayed left of the main porch. In the portrait, the emperor, depicted as a surprisingly young and beardless man, is carrying a church model in his arms, which identifies him as the benefactor. Only after the renovation of the exterior (1880 -- 1980), the empress was given a cross as another symbol of identification. Originally, she was carrying gloves.
On the right one can see the pictures of a seducer ("Prince of this World\") and a misguided virgin.
While the virgin smiles and starts to undress, toads and snakes crawl in the back of the seducer. They should embody the evil. The image dates back to roughly 1280. The statues and brickwork of the cathedral consist of red sandstone which was found in Wiesental and Degerfelden.
## Uses
Until the Reformation, Basel Minster was the church of the bishop and the main church of the Diocese of Basel, whose metropolitan bishop was the Archbishop of Besançon. The bishop's residence and the original living quarters for the canons of the cathedral chapter were part of the Minster. From the 12th century onwards, the canons lived in their own private homes in the vicinity of the cathedral.
On 9 February 1529, all religious images were removed from the cathedral and the Minster became the main congregation in the city of the Swiss Reformed Church, which has been the sole owner of the building ever since the separation of church and state. The City of Basel, however, still contributes three quarters of the building\'s maintenance costs. Currently the congregations of the Gellert Church and St. James Church, two other churches in Basel, also make up part of the congregation of the Minster. Regular services and special musical events take place in the church throughout the year. The church also hosts many concerts of the church choir, choral society and various other church organisations.

## Burials
In the choir passage is the sarcophagus of Queen Anne of Habsburg and her son Charles. She had married in 1254 as Gertrude of Hohenberg the future King Rudolf of Habsburg and died in 1281 in Vienna. From there, her body was transferred to Basel. The bones found in her grave (a woman, a child, a man) were transferred in 1770 to Saint Blaise Abbey, Black Forest; later on to Saint Paul\'s Abbey, Lavanttal.

# Eileen Ascroft
**Eileen Ascroft** (1914 -- 29 April 1962) was a British journalist and writer.
Ascroft worked as a journalist at the *Daily Mirror*, where she met her second husband, Hugh Cudlipp; the couple married in 1945. (Her first husband was the film director Alexander Mackendrick.)
In her book about Cudlipp, *Newspapermen*, Ruth Dudley Edwards describes Ascroft as \"blonde, talented and ambitious\". Ascroft was sacked from the *Mirror* by the Editorial Director, Harry Guy Bartholomew, for using his oak office door as a dartboard.
Ascroft was responsible for starting the women\'s page at the *Evening Standard*. She and Hugh went on to become the most powerful couple on Fleet Street: \"The combined power of Mr and Mrs Cudlipp over the livelihoods of hundreds, maybe thousands, of newspaper men and woman \[sic\], even benevolently exercised as they have always been, are going to be immense and terrifying\". According to an obituary notice in *The Times*, \"she could also pilot an aeroplane, having learnt to do so in an idle spell in Australia\".
Ascroft died in April 1962, aged 47. At an inquest, her death was ruled to accidental, from an unintended overdose of sleeping pills. Her book, *The Magic Key to Charm* (1938), is a collection of her journalism for women published by the *Mirror*

# WEZZ
**WEZZ** (970 AM) is a radio station located in Canton, North Carolina, that simulcast WISE\'s sports format from Asheville, North Carolina, from 2007 to early 2024. As of March 29, 2024, the station is owned by Lester Elton and Julie Ziegler, through licensee EZ Radio LLC. WEZZ is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast with 5,000 watts of power during the day and 30 watts at night.
The station was formerly an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves radio network, the largest radio affiliate network in Major League Baseball.
## History
The station signed on in 1954 as WWIT (the call sign stood for \"Where Wheels of Industry Turn\"). WWIT was daytime-only and broadcast with only 1,000 watts. It featured a big band format that gave way to a Top 40 format by the late 1950s. Teenagers at that time considered Nathaniel Lowery (\"Nat the Cat\"), an afternoon host, a favorite disc jockey. \"Nat the Cat\" introduced the region to jazz, rock \'n\' roll, and gospel music produced by Black and white musicians at a time when schools and churches were segregated in Western North Carolina. Bob Caldwell of WLOS worked at WWIT in the early 1960s. The station was known on the air as \"Big-IT\" and \"97-IT\" by the late 1970s.
The station was purchased by Dan Greene from Sid Watts in 1974. Greene switched back and forth with longtime legend Jimmy Haney working the popular morning drivetime slot. He worked for a power increase for several years and in 1979, WWIT increased its signal to 5,000 watts, but was still daytime only. The Top 40 format, now known as CHR, continued until the mid-1980s when it gradually switched over to adult contemporary. Greene sold the station in 1984. Prior to 1992, WWIT aired Pisgah High School football. The station was sold in 1994, to a new company that took the station classic rock as \"970 WWIT\". It eventually went into bankruptcy by 2000 and was sold, becoming WBCG with a country music format.
In September 2001, the station was sold to another company that switched the station to oldies and reclaimed the WWIT call sign. It was sold to Saga Communications in 2003 and became a full-time simulcast of the WOXL-FM oldies format. The station again dropped the WWIT call sign for WOXL. It became WLZR in 2005 and WYSE in 2006.
Effective March 29, 2024, Saga Communications sold WYSE and its two translators to Lester Elton and Julie Ziegler\'s EZ Radio LLC for \$10,000. The station changed its call sign to WEZZ on March 31, and it now broadcasts predominantly religious programming

# The Conversion of Saul (Michelangelo)
***The Conversion of Saul*** is a fresco painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti (c. 1542--1545). It is housed in the Pauline Chapel (Capella Paolina), Vatican Palace, in Vatican City. This piece depicts the moment that Saul is converted to Christianity while on the road to Damascus.
Pope Paul III commissioned the work for the chapel of his namesake. The chapel was built by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in 1537 to 1538 with the patronage of Pope Paul III Farnese to serve as storage for the consecrated Host, and as the place where cardinals gather to elect a new Pope.
## Description
The figure of Christ is in the top left corner of the fresco. He is making a dramatic entrance into the scene, surrounded by a halo of light and a security detail of heavenly hosts. Some of these angels look on in awe and shock at the event occurring, while others act as a protective barrier between those things that are heavenly and divine and the earthly things below. A beam of light radiates from Christ down to a group of figures. This group is highly dramatized in their posing and expression. The most dramatic of these earthly figures is Saul himself. Saul has the face of an old man, though "we know and Michelangelo also knew it well that the calling of Saul on the road to Damascus occurred when he was about 30 years old.\" Saul\'s face reflects Michelangelo\'s own, who at this point was an old man also troubled by his faith. The figure of Saul represents "the human being in need of a greater light". Surrounding Saul is a triangular composition of companions that attempt to aid him as he lies recumbent on the ground. With one hand raised to shield himself from Christ, he has an expression of strange discomfort and fear. Most of the elements of this painting point towards the figure of Saul as being the main focus of the composition. The downward sloping hills, the beam of radiant light, and the groupings of the figures surrounding Saul make it clear to the viewer that he is the most important person in this figure-heavy piece.
Further in the background is an outline of a city to contextualize the exact moment in which Saul is experiencing this divine intervention. On a journey to this city of Damascus in which he originally intended to arrest Christ followers, Saul was converted to Christianity. While Saul lies helpless on the ground, some of his companions begin to pull out weapons and shields as though they are evading an enemies attack. There is a tension to this scene that is only heightened by the individual expressions on each of the figures faces. The people on earth range from fearful to concerned. Even the angels above seem shaken by Christ\'s actions.
As in most of his pieces, Michelangelo pays careful attention to anatomy, and gives great detail to the musculature and form of all the figures, whether clothed or nude. Even the horse shows some muscularity as he recedes into the background, carrying a stray figure with him. Michelangelo\'s sources for anatomical knowledge were live models, dissections, and sculptures from antiquity. Anatomy played a very important role in his work and can be seen playing out in the *Conversion of Saul*. In his later works such as the *Last Judgement* and also in his *Conversion of Saul*, the muscularity of his figures have more of a strain to them than previous pieces. The muscles and anatomy seem contorted and elongated in ways that should not be natural and the figures are in impractical poses. Yet, this approach to anatomy works to enhance the drama of the piece. These poses and movements create a tension to the scene and highlight the miraculous nature of the event occurring.
## Restoration
The work began restoration in 2002 and was finished in 2009. Methods included using a chemical solvent, ultrasonic curettes, and laser equipment. Restoration efforts revealed that Michelangelo not only painted in fresco, but he also painted in *mezzo fresco* and *a secco*. *Mezzo fresco* is a technique in which the artist paints the final, thin layer of plaster underneath the actual painting so that paint pigments only slightly penetrate the plaster. *A secco* is a technique in which the artist painted on dry plaster and was able to work more quickly and correct mistakes as opposed to other methods

# François Gendron
**François Gendron** (born November 3, 1944, in Val-Paradis, Quebec) is a politician and teacher in Quebec, Canada. He was a Member of National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Abitibi-Ouest. He represented the Parti Québécois from 1976 to 2018.
Gendron went to the Université Laval and obtained diplomas in pedagogy and administration. He was then a teacher at Cité Étudiante Polyno in La Sarre, a coordinator at the Commission scolaire Lalonde, and a school counsellor. He was a municipal councillor from 1973 to 1976 in La Sarre and was the founder of the Education Workers Union of Northwestern Quebec in 1967.
Gendron was the longest serving active MNA at the time of his retirement, having been first elected in 1976 when the Parti Québécois led by René Lévesque won its first provincial election. He was named the Assistant Whip and then the Minister of Public Services. After the party's 1981 re-election, he was named the Minister of Planning and Development and Minister of Education (1984--1985).
When the Parti Québécois returned to the opposition benches after the 1985 election, he was the Deputy Opposition House Leader from 1985 to 1987 and 1989 to 1994 and the Opposition House Leader from 1987 to 1989. He was also named opposition critic after the 1989 election for education, municipal and regional affairs.
After the Parti Québécois returned to power in 1994 with Jacques Parizeau as their leader, he was named Minister of Natural resources and the Deputy Government House Leader. In 1996, he was named the Government Chair Caucus. He remained in that position after the 1998 election until 2002 where he was briefly the Minister of Forest Management and rurality and then the Minister of Natural Resources.
Gendron was re-elected in the 2003 and 2007 general election and was the National Assembly\'s Third Vice-president (Third Deputy Speaker of the House) from 2003 to 2007.
On May 9, 2007, Gendron was elected acting leader of the Parti Québécois over Marie Malavoy, following the resignation of André Boisclair.
During his tenure as acting leader, he played a major role in the adoption of the 2007 budget tabled by Liberal Finance Minister Monique Jérôme-Forget, as it was during a Liberal minority government. The Parti Québécois had requested additional funding for health, education and the regions as well as a reduction of the income tax cuts that were planned by the Liberals to be \$950 million. The Liberals accepted an increase total funding of \$111 million without reducing the tax cut and have increased taxes for oil and bank companies. Gendron and the PQ mentioned that the funding was not sufficient to vote for the budget, but only Gendron, House Leader Diane Lemieux and Finance critic François Legault took part of the vote in which the budget passed 46--44 on June 1, 2007.
On August 20, 2007, an article from *La Presse* reported that Gendron would replace Diane Lemieux as the House Leader of the second opposition group when the National Assembly of Quebec resumed in October 2007.
On October 21, 2008, Gendron was named the President of the National Assembly of Quebec, a position equivalent to Speaker in other legislatures. Initially, Maxime Arseneau was the PQ candidate for the position as well as Marc Picard for the Action démocratique du Québec and Yvon Vallières for the Liberals. After Picard and Arseneau dropped their candidacy, both opposition parties supported the nomination of Gendron. He is the first MNA from an opposition party to be named as President of the National Assembly since 1887. He would serve in that capacity until after the 2008 provincial election.
He currently holds the record as the longest-serving member of the National Assembly, having served for 42 years

# Ragenold of Neustria
**Ragenold** (or **Raino**) (killed 25 July 885) was the Count of Herbauges from 852 and Count of Maine and Margrave of Neustria (positioned against the Vikings) from 878. His family is unidentified, but he may have been a son of Reginald of Herbauges.
In 878, on the death of Gauzfrid, Charles the Bald conferred the Neustrian march and the county of Maine on Ragenold, because Gauzfrid\'s children were too young to succeed. On 25 July 885, the Vikings pillaged Rouen. Ragenold came up and surprised the Viking raiders, but was killed in the ensuing action

# Douglas James Smith
**Douglas James Smith** (29 May 1873 -- 16 August 1949) was an English first-class cricketer and umpire. He played for Somerset and Worcestershire, as well as appearing for Glamorgan, not at the time a first-class county, in the Minor Counties Championship. He also umpired one Test match.
Born in Batley, Yorkshire, Smith made his debut in May 1896, for Somerset against Gloucestershire at Bristol, but made only 8 and 0. He then had a relatively good period, his next three games (six innings) yielding 175 runs and including his only two half-centuries: 62 against Middlesex at Lord\'s and 54 against Sussex at Hove. His form then fell away and 12 further innings that year produced only 164 more runs. The 1896 season also saw his only bowling in first-class cricket, though he took no wickets. Smith played seven games in the middle of the 1897 season, and two more the following summer, but enjoyed no success at all, recording just 97 runs in 17 innings.
His next first-class game was not until 1901, when he turned out for Worcestershire against Hampshire at Worcester, making 3 and 10. He played a handful more games for the county over the next few years, but did nothing of note other than to make his only first-class stumping. This came in his very last first-class game, against Lancashire in 1904, when in the absence of Worcestershire\'s usual keeper (George Gaukrodger) he played behind the stumps and accounted for Lancashire\'s own keeper, William Findlay.
Smith played on for Glamorgan at minor-county level for a number of years, making 69 against Dorset in 1907. Three years later he once more filled in as wicket-keeper, playing against Worcestershire in a friendly match, and stumped Arthur Conway. (This match was, however, more memorable for Worcestershire slow left-armer\'s John Cuffe\'s extraordinary first-innings figures of 9--5.)
He stood as an umpire six times in first-class cricket, including replacing Alfred Atfield for the fifth Test between South Africa and England at St George\'s Park, Port Elizabeth in 1913--14. His other games as umpire were three in the Currie Cup in 1908--09, one on Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)\'s tour in 1909--10 and one final Currie Cup match as late as 1925--26, when he was 52 years old.
Smith died in South Africa, in Grahamstown, Cape Province at the age of 76.
Two of his relatives played first-class cricket. His brother William also played for Somerset in the 1890s, while his father John had played for Lancashire and Yorkshire in the 1860s

# KBUs Pokalturnering
**KBUs Pokalturnering** (unofficial English translation: ***KBU Cup**\'\',***Copenhagen Cup**\'\') was a Danish regional knockout association football competition contested annually from 1910 to 1953 by clubs that were members of the regional football association Copenhagen FA (KBU). Organised by and named after KBU, the competition rules has varied from being open to all Copenhagen clubs (1910--1919 and 1947--1953) and being a closed tournament (1920--1946) reserved only for the highest ranking clubs, and as a consequence the number of participants have varied greatly throughout its history. For the first 10 seasons, between 7 and 13 teams participated until a fixed number of 8 teams was introduced from 1920 until 1946. When both the Sommerpokalturneringen (who for several seasons had functioned as a qualifying tournament) and the KBUs B-Pokalturnering, both featuring the lower ranking KBU teams, were discontinued after their 1946 edition, the Copenhagen FA again allowed lower ranking clubs to participate in the association\'s primary cup competition, increasing the number of teams to 52. For the most part, the competition took place in the fall season (6 seasons ended in the following spring season) and since the 1913 edition culminating in a final played at Københavns Idrætspark that saw large attendance figures and generated much media coverage.
Due to a conflict regarding majority voting at KBU, the top four field-owning clubs (*Baneklubberne*) of the era did not participate in the 1911 edition of the cup, that only had the non-field-owning clubs (*Fælledklubberne*) participating. Instead they formed their own cup tournament that fall season, Baneklubberne Cup in the fall of 1911, until returning to the tournament the following spring season. The cup tournament was discontinued after the 1953 edition due to the introduction of the nationwide Danish Cup in 1954. In the 44 tournaments held, a total of 66 clubs participated, only 10 teams took part in the finals, 9 teams secured a cup victory, 743 matches were played and 3,723 goals scored. The most successful club in the history of the tournament were Østerbro-based B.93, who won a total of 13 cup titles and appeared as a losing finalist on 11 occasions.

## Trophy and prizes {#trophy_and_prizes}
Each year, the winning team was presented with the cup trophy. Four trophies were distributed during the tournament\'s duration. A club had to win five finals in total, also known as *lots*, to keep the trophy permanently. Due to a conflict, the 1911 tournament did not have the participation of the best clubs in the highest Copenhagen Football League, who owned their own ground. The clubs participated with reserve teams in the 1914 edition due to many of the first squad players being summoned by the Danish mobilization at the outbreak of World War I, so it was decided that the cup trophy would not be in play, and hence Kjøbenhavns Boldklub did not gain a lot this year by winning the final match for the fifth time in the tournament\'s history. Three clubs have earned this honour: the 1st trophy by B 1903 in 1924, 2nd trophy by B.93 in 1932, 3rd trophy by Akademisk BK in 1949, while the fourth and last trophy was kept by the Copenhagen FA. On some occasions, the runners-up would receive a commemorative plaque for their participation in the final.

# Shi Jinsong
**Shi Jinsong** (born 1969, Dangyang County Hubei Province, China) is a Chinese artist based in Wuhan and Beijing. He studied at Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in China where he majored in sculpture and mastered an array of traditional styles and techniques. He graduated in 1994.
He is particularly known for his first solo exhibition in the United States at Chambers Fine Art in New York *Na Zha Baby Boutique* exhibition, a series of stainless steel sculptures depicting baby accessories---rattle, cot, stroller, etc.---made from razor-sharp blades (Na Zha is a child warrior deity in Chinese mythology). He is violent and sly and flamboyantly dressed in flaming trousers with fireball feet. Today, he is associated with lottery, gambling, and the high life and is the star of a cartoon TV show. Shi Jinsong humorously depicts Na Zha in his exhibition as the "new face of Mothercare." Shi describes Na Zha as "a supernatural youthful hero who always recovers and refuses to grow up. He has three heads, nine eyes and eight arms, with blue clouds coming from his mouth, flamed wheels under his feet, and all kinds of powerful weapons in his hands. He needs only to shout for clouds to turn into rain. He cuts his own flesh and commits suicide to save his father, fights the dragon king, and overturns the universe." This is the Na Zha portrayed in Shi\'s artwork. Chambers Fine Art described this work as a \"dialogue, at once menacing and ironic, between the forms of mythic Chinese culture and modern day globalization\". He returned to this theme for his *Secret Book of Cool Weapons*, which portrayed corporate logos such as the Nike Swoosh as martial arts weapons.
Shi has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including *Shanghai Cool: Creative Reproduction* at the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, *Mahjong* at Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland, *Alors, La Chine?* at the Pompidou Center in Paris, and *Too Much Flavour* at Chambers Fine Art in New York.
## Artistic style {#artistic_style}
Shi\'s main material is large amounts of stainless steel. This gives his artwork a gleaming, polished, and cold look with razor sharp edges. Shi is known for his childcare products and weaponry. In 2002, his exhibition Secret Book of Cool Weapons transformed common corporate logos into an array of ancient weaponry. Despite his heavy portrayal of machines in his work, Shi is not interested in modern-day machinery. Many details and additions seen on his pieces do not even offer any practical use. Shi adds his own experience and direction to his artwork, giving it a sense of rebellion and contradiction to humanity and morals. This sets his work apart from the typical art of contemporary China. Shi moved out of the explorative stage of form and language, saying that "language is of suspicious nature, especially that with characteristics such as the attractive logo of brands as seen in the commercial market." The mechanical form depicted in Shi\'s artwork is a metaphor for real life experience. While Shi\'s work is not intended to give off a message, he observes social norms and customs with a neutral perspective and then creates a twisted analysis of it. Shi has a very broad mentality, believing that every thing has many surfaces and directions from which to view it. This includes his artistic materials such as steel and charcoal. Shi enjoys exploring different kinds of physical forces, including artificial, natural, and unnamed.
## Influences
Three major events had an influence on Shi\'s life: the radical socio-cultural transformation in China, Foucault's madness and civilization, and the birth of his first daughter. All of these caused the artist to investigate ideas of transformation and control. Much of Shi's work is a combination of mythic Chinese culture and modern day globalization.

Shi\'s solo exhibition, *Penetrate* (2011), was shown at Today Art Museum, Beijing. *Penetrate* was a large scale sculptural installation curated by art critic Karen Smith. Shi used charcoal, wood, metal, and other materials in his pieces. The giant scale and number of pieces shown in the exhibition as well as the amount of discard involved in the process of replacing new with old and the impact on the environment was all supposed to portray the excesses of modern China. The exhibition was literally a physical mass. Shi collected discarded materials and made them into his own artwork. For example, he took wooden beams from traditional architectural structures and bound them together with old tree trunks, pipes, tubes, and steel joists. The message of this piece was to be more aware of the harm we cause on a daily basis when we recklessly pursue our interests and desires without taking our impact on the environment into consideration.

Shi has been known to break away from his typical steel structures. In 2003, he presented an installation at the Centre Pompidou called *A Life of Sugar*. The installation was made out of caramel and sugar and designed to melt over the course of the show. The idea of the exhibition was to critique disposable consumer goods.
Shi\'s Tree Motorcycles (2008) consisted of a tree for the frame and working motorcycle parts on the inside , making them drivable. "I dreamt that a trunk with a big light was running on the road." Shi Jinsong said in an interview. "I just wanted to know what a big tree -- which is four or five meters long -- with a speed of more than 100 km per hour looks like."
Shi also created fancy metallic motorcycles to show in the 2008 Shanghai Biennale. Shi was included in one of the first groups to participate in the exhibition. He created his own humorous logo name, "Ha Ke Long", for his motorcycles which resemble Harley Davidson's. The logo was based on the words "halong-kellong" and "tuolaji", meaning \"walking tractor\" in Chinese. The motorcycles, carved with symbols of the dragon and phoenix and equipped with karaoke and video instruments, were meant to be driven around the museum by a muscular man dressed as Arnold Schwarzenegger.
