Meadowside Granary was a complex of four interlinked granary buildings situated on the north bank of the River Clyde in the Partick area of Glasgow, Scotland. Constructed in four phases between 1911 and 1967, the finished construction was the largest brick building in Europe at the time. The granary closed in 1988 and was demolished in 2002; the site is now occupied by part of the Glasgow Harbour development. History The first Meadowside Granary was a thirteen-storey, thirteen-bay brick building. Both it and the adjacent Meadowside Quay were built by Glasgow engineer William Alston for the Clyde Navigation Trust between 1911 and 1913. The site, on the north bank of the River Clyde at Castlebank Street, Partick, was formerly Meadowside football ground, which had been the home of Partick Thistle F.C. from 1897 until 1908. During construction, damage was caused by a severe storm on 27 November 1912 that blew down four cranes at the site. After opening, Meadowside became the most important grain store in the United Kingdom during World War I. The granary was first extended in 1937, when a second building was added. A further extension in 1960 cost £3 million and added 50,000 tons of capacity to double the existing storage. The fourth and final building was completed in 1967 and added a further 80,000 tons at a cost of £1.5 million. High level gantries were added to link the buildings. When completed, the Meadowside complex was the largest grain storage facility in the UK and the largest brick building in Europe, with over five million bricks used in its construction. The Upper Clyde was still a thriving port in the 1960s, but shipping declined thereafter. Meadowside was closed in 1988 and finally demolished in 2002. Port operators Clydeport was taken over in 2003 by the Peel Group, who subsequently used the land for the first phase of the Glasgow Harbour regeneration project. The site of the granary is now occupied by residential apartments.

and 1969, at the north-eastern corner, razed during the war, a functionalist pavilion hosting Kaskada, a gastronomic restaurant, was erected: its radical style caught the eye among others facades. As for the plot where the former Jesuit church used to stand, city authorities unveiled there on 5 September 1969, a monument commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom of Bydgoszcz Land (). In 1974, following a ministerial resolution, a revalorization of the Old Town, including the Old Market Square, began. The project aimed at re-organizing the commercial network, the transport network layout and giving back to the shop frontages their historic outline. In the 1970s, the following achievements appeared: the tenement house at Nr. 16 hosted Antykwariat Naukowy, an antique shop; Nr. 18 accommodated a store selling crystals; ground floors at Nr. 20 and 22 were modernized; a "Salon of the Visual Arts Studio" was set up in the corner house at Nr. 27, and cellars converted into a café; in the cellar at Nr. 25, Cepelia salon was established. Such changes were also implemented on the eastern frontage of the square. From 1973 to 1975, tram and vehicles were banned from the place and some outgoing streets converted into pedestrian venues (e.g. Mostowa and Magdzińskiego streets). On 3 May 1981 bishop Jan Michalski celebrated a mass for the homeland from the stairs of the library, in front of an audience of 100.000 gathered on the Old Market Square; the reader was Daniel Olbrychski. It was the largest demonstration to support Solidarność trade union in the history of the city, and one of the largest gatherings in Bydgoszcz (the largest one being for the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1999). After Poland's accession to European Union, a competition was held in 2010 to re-design the western side of the Market, but results did not meet public expectations. On 10 December 2011 the former gastronomic complex Kaskada was bulldozed. In 2013, the plot was reconstructed, together with Jatki Street. In autumn 2016, archaeological research started on the square, prior to the renovation of the area. This project planned, in particular, to move the monument 15 m closer to the Bydgoszcz Cathedral, allowing the building of a 35-m long high-tech fountain. The Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Inspector of Monuments, on the rationale of the diggings report, barred the realization of the fountain so as to preserve the foundations on the western frontage (church walls
whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA and searchlight positions. On 24 August, ahead of the declaration of war, AA Command was fully mobilised at its war stations. On 1 June 1940 those AA regiments like the 83rd equipped with 3-inch or the newer 3.7-inch guns were termed Heavy Anti-Aircraft (HAA) to distinguish them from the new Light Anti-Aircraft (LAA) units being formed. Blitz 83rd (Blythswood) HAA Rgt continue to serve with 42 AA Bde through the period of the Phoney War and the Battle of Britain. Following the Luftwaffes defeat in the Battle of Britain, it began night attacks on Britain's cities ('The Blitz'). 3rd AA Division's responsibilities were split in November 1940 and a new 12th AA Division created, to which 42nd AA Bde was transferred, with its responsibility restricted to the defence of Glasgow and the Firth of Clyde. The industrial town of Clydebank near Glasgow was badly hit on the nights of 13/14 and 14/15 March 1941 in the 'Clydebank Blitz', but none of the raiders was brought down by AA fire. The regiment supplied a cadre of experienced officers and other ranks to provide the basis for a new 403 HAA Bty formed by 211th HAA Training Rgt at Oswestry on 12 December 1940. Once trained, this battery joined a new 123rd HAA Rgt at King's Park, Glasgow in March 1941. The urgent need for more HAA guns on Clydeside was well known: the authorised scale had been 80 in 1939, raised to 120 in 1940, but in February 1941 there were still only 67. A new scale of 144 guns was authorised on 21 March, but only 88 were in position. There were three other heavy raids on Clydeside during the Blitz, on the nights of 7/8 April, 5/6 and 6/7 May 1941. However, after the Blitz ended in May 1941, sufficient reinforcements were arriving to allow AA Command to withdraw 83rd (Blythswood) HAA Rgt to meet the urgent need for AA reinforcements in overseas theatres. The regiment left AA Command in July 1941 and joined the War Office Reserve with 257, 258, 259 HAA Btys. Middle East By October 1941 the regiment was on its way to join Middle East Forces. On arrival it was sent to Persia and Iraq Force (Paiforce) in Iraq, where General Henry Maitland Wilson was trying to build up

The announcement of the results triggered a political crisis. Abdullah Abdullah rejected the results and called for the formation of a parallel government in northern Afghanistan. On 22 February Abdullah appointed a new governor loyal to himself in Sar-e Pol Province. American diplomat Zalmay Khalilzad attempted to mediate between Ghani and Abdullah, but the two were unable to reach an agreement and both of them took the presidential oath of office at separate inauguration ceremonies on 9 March, with Ghani being sworn in for a second term. Shortly afterwards, Ghani abolished the office of Chief Executive, held by Abdullah, and Abdullah issued a statement saying that "Ghani is no longer president," and his decrees were invalid. On 23 March 2020, the United States announced that as a result of the political crisis it would reduce aid to Afghanistan by $1 billion. If Ghani and Abdullah do not reach an agreement, it may reduce aid further. The political crisis was brought to an end on 17 May 2020, when Ghani and Abdullah signed a power-sharing deal. On 15 August 2021, Ashraf Ghani's presidency came to an end after Taliban entered Kabul during the 2021 Taliban offensive and Ghani fled Afghanistan. Vice President Amrullah Saleh declared himself transitional president in Bazarak, capital of Panjshir Province and the last region under government control, however, he was forced to leave after Panjshir was captured altogether by the Taliban on 8 September.

by the wider community. A sense of place and identity is embodied in the place. The showground is valued by the Queanbeyan community for its social and cultural associations having been used over a long period for agricultural shows and a variety of recreational uses. The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. Documented archaeological finds throughout the 20th century, together with records on the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System of the Office and Environment and Heritage, indicate that Queanbeyan Showground has archaeological potential. Whilst the more recently found artefacts are thought to possibly have originated in fill material brought on to the site, there are records of a burial being found beneath the grandstand and another nearby in West Avenue. There are also records that refer to ceremonial objects being found on the site. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. The site of Queanbeyan showground is a rare example of a well documented Aboriginal ceremonial and camping place that was used during the 19th century as well as prior to European settlement. The description of the corroboree held on the site in 1862 provides a rare insight into Aboriginal ceremonial practices in NSW in the 19th century. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. The Showground site is an excellent example of an Aboriginal ceremonial and camping place in use both before and after European settlement. The place exemplifies the resilience of Aboriginal culture in the time of colonial expansion.

Katharina "Käthe" Paulus (22 December 1868 – 26 July 1935) was a German exhibition parachute jumper and the inventor of the first collapsible parachute. At the time, 1910, the parachute was named "rescue apparatus for aeronauts". The previous parachutes were not able to fit in a case like apparatus worn on the back, thus Paulus' invention became of paramount importance for the Germans in the First World War and she produced about 7,000 parachutes for the German forces. During the First World War, Paulus created approximately 125 parachutes a week. She was also credited with inventing the "drag 'chute", an intentional breakaway system where one small parachute opens to pull out the main parachute. Paulus was an avid aeronaut herself and logged over 510 balloon flights and over 165 parachute jumps in her lifetime. She was the first German to be a professional air pilot and the first German woman aerial acrobat. Despite the fact that hot air balloons are currently known as a sort of tourist attraction, during the final decades of the 19th century these hot air balloons were on the cutting edge of technology, and were popular before the invention of airplane. Life Paulus was born in Zellhausen, today part of Mainhausen, near Frankfurt, Germany, into a working-class family. Her father worked as a day laborer and died when she was nineteen years old. After his death, Paulus picked up her mother's trade of seamstressing to help support the family. At 21, she met Hermann Lattemann, a well-known balloonist, and began working as his assistant to repair the balloons with her skills as a seamstress. Paulus and Lattemann begun to develop their professional and personal relationship, until Paulus began to parachute herself, and the two eventually were married. They had a son, Willy Hermann Paulus, who later died of diphtheria. In 1895, the couple were on a joint jump when Lattlemann's parachute failed to deploy. Paulus watched him fall to his death. While grieving the death of her husband, Paulus stayed in bed for months. During this time, thousands of admirers mailed letters of support to her to request she continue her career of being a ballooner. She then bought four new parachutes and set off on a tour of Europe using the stage name Miss Polly. She performed theatrically, using acrobatic feats and even riding a bicycle suspending from a hot air balloon's basket. Paulus became
Yevgeny Yefimovich Karelov (; 12 October 1931 — 11 July 1977) was a Soviet film director and screenwriter known for comedy movies, war dramas and children's films. He was named Meritorious Artist of RSFSR in 1974. Biography Karelov was born in the Bogorodskoye village (known as Bogorodskoye urban-type settlement today) into a peasant family, one of the four children. His parents soon moved to Drezna and applied to a secondary school: his mother Maria Andreevna Karelova — as a teacher, and his father Yefim Trofimovich Karelov — as a stoker and gardener. During the early 1950s the family moved to Podolsk. In 1949 Yevgeny tried to enter VGIK, but failed and entered the regional Pedagogical University, Faculty of Physical Culture. In a year he successfully entered VGIK and in 1955 he finished the directing courses led by Grigori Aleksandrov and started working at Mosfilm. Simultaneously he finished the Pedagogical University and joined the Federation of Sport Movies to promote sports culture. Among his projects was a war drama The Third Half (1962) about The Death Match that happened in the Nazi-occupied Kiev, a TV comedy Seven Old Men and a Girl (1968) about a young coach assigned to train a group of "hopeless" elderly men and a screenplay When I'm a King dedicated to the Soviet ice hockey coach Yuri Ulianov which was made into a documentary after his death. In 1968 Karelov directed Two Comrades Were Serving where Oleg Yankovsky played one of his first roles (his debut film The Shield and the Sword was released same year). It depicted the events of the Russian Civil War shown from both Red and White perspectives. The White Army poruchik Alexander Brusentsov played by Vladimir Vysotsky turned into one of his biggest movie roles in the entire career. Karelov later returned to revolutionary events with Those Who Saved Fire (1970) and the High Rank dilogy (1973—1974), both with Evgeny Matveev in the lead, director's favourite actor and a close friend. Karelov also produced a number of films aimed at children and youth, including Smoke in the Forest (1955) based on the story by Arkady Gaidar and Nakhalyonok (1961) based on Don Tales by Mikhail Sholokhov. In 1965 he directed the family comedy Children of Don Quixote about a goofy head of maternity clinic and his sons. It was among the first leading roles by Anatoly Papanov and the only role by

Tomaree Lodge is a heritage-listed former military camp and hospital and now residential disability accommodation at Shoalhaven Road, Shoal Bay, Port Stephens Council, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by the NSW Government Architect's Office and built from 1942 by the NSW Department of Public Works for the Commonwealth Government. It was formerly known as the Tomaree Head Army/RAAF Camp. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History Tomaree Headland is situated at the southern entrance to Port Stephens. Tomaree Lodge is located in a range of ten predominantly single-storey weatherboard ex-World War Two Australian Army garrison camp buildings on the western foreshore of the headland. Tomaree National Park occupies the remainder of land on Tomaree Head. DADHC land in this vicinity includes the ten buildings used for accommodation (), the Recreation Hall, the Administration Block (s) and staff cottages, as well as 8.8 hectares of terraced and landscaped land on the western side of the headland. DADHC-owned land in the vicinity accommodates a range of structures including a swimming pool, work sheds, a fisheries laboratory, and at least two relics associated with Fort Tomaree (Tomaree Head Fortifications), namely the surf battery and the footings for a torpedo tube. The Port Stephens area, including Tomaree Head, is part of land occupied by the Worimi Aboriginal language group. Captain Cook noted Tomaree Head in 1770 when he was travelling along the NSW coast. Following European settlement to the east coast of NSW from 1788, Port Stephens's rich resources were harvested; fishing and cedar getting were the main industries in the early nineteenth century. Port Stephens was occupied by the Australian Agricultural Company from 1824. Point Stephens lighthouse was erected in 1864 to provide safe entrance to Port Stephens. Under the Crown Lands Alienation Act 1861, Tomaree Head was declared a reserve; it was used for recreational purposes and occasional squatting from the 1860s until the 1930s. In 1932, Alfred Ernest Dickenson made an application for a special lease of Tomaree Head to graze goats. Dickenson's lease was withdrawn in 1947, with the site having been used for health purposes since this time. In the interim, however, Tomaree Head played an important role in the defence of Australia during the Second World War. In March 1942, General Douglas MacArthur was appointed the supreme commander of the South West Pacific sector, "with authority over

Panhtwar () was the legendary queen regnant of Beikthano, the ancient city of the Pyu Kingdom. She was considered to be a strong, spiritual lady of war and fame. Legend According to legend, Panhtwar was the only daughter of Sula Thambawa, a son of Maha Thado Yarzar (King Naga Naing), the legendary King of Tagaung Kingdom, and Sanda Muhki, an Ogress-nymph from Lanka Dipa. Her history records the wars period between Sri Ksetra and Beikthano and of the fighting that took place. Beikthano was created for Panhtwar by the Hindu god Vishnu because she was assumed as the younger sister of Vishnu in previous life. Beikthano is a small kingdom in ruled by Queen Panhtwar. The other kingdoms are larger and stronger, so they want to come and take over hers. Every time they tried, even though they outnumbered her kingdom in men and equipment, they never succeeded. Because the queen was able to repel all her enemy forces with the help of magical drum named "Atula Sidaw"(), gave by Indra, the King of the Celestials. When Queen Panhtwar banged onto the drum, the magic drum would be sounded making the water of the Yan Pe River (lit. Repelling enemies river) to rise rapidly and flood the surrounding plain so that no attacking army could cross it. One day, King of Sri Ksetra Duttabaung made some of his subjects disguise themselves as imitate monks and they worshipped her so she let them stay in the palace. Then, they sabotaged the drums so the alarm could not be set off. The next day, when the soldiers attacked, the drum did not work when she hit it. She then lost her kingdom and so the king took her as his wife and also took the whole kingdom. Duttabaung was the son of Maha Thamawa, the twin brother of Sula Thamawa. So, Duttabaung was a cousin of Panhtwar. The King's other consorts were jealous of her beauty, and conspired against her. They told Duttabaung that her loveliness was a magic trick, and that in fact she resembled a horrible ogre. The King unfortunately believed in what they said and abandoned her. So because she is resilient, she wanted her kingdom back and couldn't take on the place of Queen of this kingdom she did not know so she was not happy. So every day, she makes the King lose power in some way

threatened by change, do not understand it, and are opposed to it within a company (e.g. Commission salespersons will try to protect customers even though they may not be profitable to the company). Overcoming limitations There are various strategies which could be used to minimize limitations / implementation barriers to introduce CPA, including the following ones: Management needs to be sensitive to required change within the organization and be sure that employees are included in the decision and change processes. Management should seek to ensure employee buy-in, to minimize resistance towards change; Management needs to properly set internal incentive model, e.g. rewarding salespeople on the basis of customer profitability, as opposed to revenue generated by the customer; To minimize the limitation resulting from the fact, that CPA is a backwards-looking tool, a company could additionally consider implementation of Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). CLV is a forward-looking customer profitability estimator, taking CPA as a starting point for calculation. CLV could be used for forecasting of future customer profitability (based not only on historical events, but also proposed marketing strategy, trends in customer behavior, etc.).

of note that in 1937, according to Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler affirmed his continued support for the ongoing Crucifix Decrees by dismissing complaints made about it by Hanns Kerrl. A woman's role The regime saw noteworthy public protests by primarily Catholics, like those resulting from the Crucifix Decrees, and women. Public protest in the war increased as each event was single-issue based. During wartime, with more women on the home-front there were more issues that became oppressive and therefore women found this as a "source of complaint". For example, the Rosenstrasse Protest and the Witten Women’s Protest were two reactions against specific actions: the Rosenstrasse Protest being one event and the Witten Women's Protest being a string of events.

Zhihong "Jeff" Xia (; born 20 September 1962 in Dongtai, Jiangsu, China) is a Chinese-American mathematician. Education and career Xia received in 1982 from Nanjing University a bachelor's degree in astronomy and in 1988 a PhD in mathematics from Northwestern University with thesis advisor Donald G. Saari and thesis The Existence of the Non-Collision Singularities. From 1988 to 1990 Xia was an assistant professor at Harvard University and from 1990 to 1994 an associate professor at Georgia Institute of Technology (and Institute Fellow). In 1994 he became a full professor at Northwestern University and since 2000 he has been there the Arthur and Gladys Pancoe Professor of Mathematics. His research deals with celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, Hamiltonian dynamics, and ergodic theory. In his dissertation he solved the Painlevé conjecture, a long-standing problem posed in 1895 by Paul Painlevé. The problem concerns the existence of singularities of non-collision character in the -body problem in three-dimensional space; Xia proved existence for . For the existence proof he constructed an example of five masses, of which four are separated into two pairs which revolve around each other in eccentric elliptical orbits about the z-axis of symmetry, and a fifth mass moves along the z-axis. For selected initial conditions, the fifth mass can be accelerated to an infinite velocity in a finite time interval (without any collision between the bodies involved in the example). The case is open. For Painlevé had proved that the singularities (points of the orbit in which accelerations become infinite in a finite time interval) must be of the collision type. However, Painlevé's proof did not extend to the case . In 1993 Xia was the inaugural winner of the Blumenthal Award of the American Mathematical Society. From 1989 to 1991 he was a Sloan Fellow. From 1993 to 1998, he received the National Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation. In 1995 he received the Monroe H. Martin Prize in Applied Mathematics from the University of Maryland. In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.

the lights in the convention center darkened and a single spotlight tracked Cuomo as he walked over to the podium. This was also designed to capture the audience's focus, as well as to force the television news cameras to follow the governor instead of panning over the crowd. The Secret Service agents providing security thought dimming the lights would leave the convention more vulnerable to a gunman and objected. Andrew Cuomo argued with them by the control room operator to have the action carried out. The governor later said that he was "not happy about being there" and "very eager to get it over with". The speech Cuomo's address was entitled A Tale of Two Cities. It was 4,308 words in length. Cuomo opened by invoking his family rhetoric, emphasizing the inclusiveness and openness of his message. He dismissed "the stories and the poetry" for which he was well known and declared his intent to be forthright: Cuomo proceeded to bring his audience's attention to a recent statement by Reagan at a campaign event and aimed to highlight a contradiction he saw in the president's use of the phrase "shining city on a hill": Cuomo then attacked Reagan's rhetoric by using imagery to craft an actuality in stark contrast to his vision. He listed specific, dramatic examples of exceptions to the president's notions: He subsequently addressed Reagan directly, sardonically calling him "Mr. President", and encapsulating his own message of vast inequality in America in a metaphorical allusion to Charles Dickens's novel, A Tale of Two Cities: Cuomo followed by suggesting that Reagan was unfamiliar with the realities of most Americans' lives and listing places—locations where people had not benefited from economic recovery—he could go to view such realities. This undermined the president's credibility and conjured up a series of emotional images. He utilized anaphora for emphasis: Cuomo paused as the audience applauded. He sarcastically utilized spin to accuse Reagan of explicitly endorsing the philosophy of Social Darwinism: Cuomo proceeded to compare Republicans to President Herbert Hoover, whose tenure was marked by the Great Depression and who was widely perceived as having done little to assist those struggling economically. By drawing a parallel, the governor was suggesting the Republican Party—and by extension, Reagan—would do just as much: He then brought the Democratic Party into his discussion and asserted—using extensive imagery with an analogy of a wagon train—that it more genuinely upheld

The League for Democracy in Greece was a British organisation founded in 1945 with the aim of supporting Greek resistance fighters and leftists in the Greek civil conflicts of the 1940s. The League was active during the 1946-1949 Greek Civil War and during the post-civil war years, and until the fall of the Greek military dictatorship in 1974. In 1974, it renamed itself to the Friends of Democracy in Greece and started functioning on a stand-by basis. Throughout its campaigning, the League kept an active relationship with trade unions and local organisations throughout Britain and Greece, and also with the Parliamentary Labour Party. History The League for Democracy in Greece was mostly founded by members of parliament for the Labour Party who were disillusioned with the fact that Labour's victory in the July 1945 election had not led to a significant change in Britain's foreign policy with regards to post-war Greece. Labour had done little to change the hostile policies that Winston Churchill's government had implemented towards the Greek resistance front EAM, which was mainly an expression of the Greek Communist Party. The persecution of resistance fighters in post-war Greece continued during Clement Attlee's government, and in October 1945 Labour members and other left-wing Britons league. The League was founded in October 1945 in a public meeting held in Garrick Theatre, London, to commemorate Greece's entering the Second World War against the axis powers. Compton Mackenzie took on the role of chairman of the new organisation, though Denis Pritt chaired the meeting as Mackenzie was absent. Diana Pym was named honourable secretary (later joined by Marion Pascoe in 1946 as joint honourable secretaries) and she remained active in the organisation until its disbandment. In the ensuing meetings, the League adopted the following aims: To rebuild and strengthen the traditional friendship between the peoples of Greece and Britain on the basis of the establishment of democracy in Greece. To enlighten the British public about the situation in Greece and to promote cultural relations between the two countries. To provide relief to those Greeks who suffered for their democratic beliefs and activities and to their dependents and to the dependents of those Greeks who died fighting for democracy To work for: a general amnesty for all Greek democrats imprisoned for political reasons the restoration of trade union and civil liberties the suppression of armed terrorism and the trial and punishment of collaborators
Braidwood District Historical Society Museum is a heritage-listed former hotel and Oddfellows Hall and now museum at Wallace Street, Braidwood, Queanbeyan-Palerang Region, New South Wales, Australia. The property is owned by Braidwood Historical Society. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History The building was built in the 1840s as the original Royal Hotel, by colonial surveyor James Larmer. It was sold to the Grand United Order of Oddfellows for an Oddfellows Hall for £700 in 1870. The Oddfellows renovated the building and added a staircase and upper and lower halls. It was again sold to the Commercial Hotel (now the Braidwood Hotel) in 1937, and converted into basic flats during a housing shortage in World War II. It was subsequently vacant and increasingly derelict from the end of World War II until being bought by the Braidwood Historical Society in 1970. The historical society painstakingly renovated the building room by room with local fundraising over subsequent years until receiving a $30,000 bicentennial grant in the 1980s. It now operates as the Braidwood Museum. Description The building is a two-storey masonry commercial building constructed in several phases over the latter nineteenth century. The street facade is constructed of coursed granite blocks with shaped flat arches over the openings. A stucco cornice and parapet demonstrates the part of the wall that was above the location and profile of the former two-storey veranda that had a bull nose roof. The windows are twelve-pane sliding sashes. There are doorways at both levels, including french doors from the first floor, indicating the original veranda. The side and rear walls are constructed of uncoursed rubble granite. The roofing is recent galvanised corrugated steel, with a box gutter behind the street parapet. The interior retains several fine timber Georgian mantelpieces, skirtings, shellac cedar architraves and deep window sills. The floor boards are comparatively wide and appear to be original. The original central staircase appears to be largely original with Georgian styling. This stair hall also has marbling on the wall plaster and early twentieth-century wall paper. The remnants of some original cornices remain, although the plaster quad cornices are recent. The Oddfellows Society added a tower in Victorian Free Classical style, a stair hall to the south, and western wind containing large assembly rooms on each of two levels from the 1880s. The extensions were constructed of brick
as Blackmans Swamp, the village of Orange was proclaimed and surveyed in 1846. The first post office was established in 1849, and is reported to have been within the store of John Woodward, fronting the road to Bathurst. Orange's population began to rise rapidly with the discovery of gold in the district, and the village gradually filled with buildings of more permanence. The second post office was constructed during this period (1851–55) with a John Arkins as Postmaster. Arkins' annual salary was £12, increasing to £50 by 1855 when James Dale was Postmaster, and then to £100 by 1861, an indication of the growing postal business in Orange. In December 1860 the Telegraph reached Orange, six years after its introduction to Australia. The Telegraph Station Master was Robert Pizey, who was appointed with a salary of £150. Pizey was succeeded by Charles Cooper as Telegraph Master in October 1862. From 1 January 1870 the post office and telegraph offices were amalgamated in Australia. In Orange, Charles Cooper stayed on as Telegraph Master while his wife Rose Cooper was appointed Post mistress. It seems that the two offices operated out of the same building at this time, although no official record of this exists. In 1877, Charles Cooper wrote to the Post Master General asking for further assistance in the running of the Post Office, complaining that he was often at the office from 8.30am till 10pm, longer when he had to receive or dispatch mail. As a result of Cooper's request, he was appointed as Postmaster as well as Telegraph Master from 15 October 1877, a position he held until his retirement in 1897, and an assistant was employed at £100 per annum. The Colonial Architect James Barnet prepared plans for the present Post Office during 1877, which would adequately accommodate both the postal and telegraph services. The plan included accommodation for the District Surveyor and Road Superintendent, as well as the Post and Telegraph Office in the one building. The estimated cost for construction came to £6,000. The building tender was accepted from a Mr J. Douglas on 18 November 1878. A clock and turret were added to the design during 1879 at an extra cost of £395, with the clock itself costing £205. The building was completed on 29 December 1879 and officially opened by the Postmaster General, Mr S. Samuel on 10 February 1880. During 1903 the
The Republic of the Floridas, also called Republic of Floridas, was a short-lived attempt, from June to December 1817, to establish an independent Florida (the plural "Floridas" refers to the separate provinces of East Florida and West Florida, then Spanish territory). It was led by Gregor MacGregor, a Scottish military adventurer, and he was joined by French adventurer and soldier of fortune Louis-Michel Aury and by the Scot Richard Ambrister, whose execution by General Andrew Jackson shortly thereafter provoked an international incident. MacGregor conquered Amelia Island, the only territory the country consisted of, and raised the Green Cross of Florida flag over the Spanish Fort San Carlos. Background Starting with the American Revolution, Florida was sought after by the United States. What had begun as a Spanish colony, Florida became a British holding from 1763 until 1783 when, with the Treaty of Paris, it was once again returned to Spain. During those twenty years, and after, the Florida territory became a haven for British loyalists, Native Americans, and run-away slaves. Many citizens and politicians in the United States feared this haven and wished to bring Florida under control in order to protect the southern border. Aside from increasing pressure from the United States, Spain’s empire was weakened, thanks to the Napoleonic war and, more particularly, the Peninsular War, and increasingly losing control on its territories, including Florida. According to a letter written at the time, Spanish East Florida had only three military establishments; a garrison of about 200 men at St. Augustine, roughly 80 men at a place called the Cow Ford (now Jacksonville) on the St. Johns River, and "50 or 60 invalids" at Amelia Island. Tensions between the two countries, and the individuals who lived on either side of the border, escalated and led to a number of conflicts. These conflicts included an insurrection in West Florida in 1810 and an unsuccessful attempt at a coup by the self-described Patriots in 1812 in East Florida. Gregor MacGregor Gregor MacGregor was a Scotsman who had fought during the Peninsular War before heading to South America and fighting for the revolutionaries in the Spanish American wars of independence. He was also a confidence trickster and likely viewed the annexation of Florida as a worthwhile investment. On top of land investments, MacGregor also wished to become a governor in Florida, to further increase his prestige and wealth. In early February 1817,

the Dutch and French were able to move, thousands of PVA, according to 38th Infantry estimates, were passing through the gap by 11:00. Groups moving along the far edge of the saddle widened the opening by forcing a platoon of Company C off Hill 914. PVA killed or wounded by artillery fire on the saddle and the area below it marked the paths of the larger number veering east toward the front of Task Force Zebra and of the remainder heading down the valley toward the French. Viewing this scene from the vicinity of Hill 1051, Colonel Eekhout continued to hold up the Dutch attack. After the opening PVA attacks and ROK withdrawals had exposed the division's east flank and bared the Task Force Zebra front, General Ruffner had asked General Almond to return the remainder of the 23rd Infantry Regiment from Corps' reserve for use in thickening the Zebra position. Almond released the regiment about 11:30 after the PVA strength on the Zebra front began to build. Taking command of the front, including all Zebra forces and the French Battalion, at 14:30, Colonel Chiles concentrated the 2nd Battalion in the left half of the sector, put in the 3rd Battalion on the right, and placed the 1st Battalion in reserve just above Han'gye. Except for exchanging fire with Company F on the left flank, the PVA moving onto the front were inactive throughout the afternoon, but their number continued to grow as the Netherlands Battalion, though Colonel Coughlin on orders from General Ruffner instructed it to attack at 13:00, failed to advance. General Ruffner sensed from the Dutch failure to move that Colonel Coughlin "was looking half way over the shoulder" instead of concentrating on the essential task of closing the gap. Ruffner again ordered the Dutch to attack, this time at 15:00, and started forward by helicopter to direct the attempt himself, but his craft crashed on a hilltop near the 1st Battalion command post. Neither Ruffner nor his pilot was seriously injured, but Ruffner was stranded well beyond the time set for opening the attack. Hiking to the battalion command post to meet a rescue helicopter sent out by the division surgeon, he returned to his headquarters after receiving assurances that the Dutch had jumped off on time. There he learned that PVA on and around Hill 1051 had stymied the Dutch and that PVA on the

On his deathbed in the Jewish hospital in Iasi, he called acquaintances of his to dictate some of his songs and poems. However, those notes apparently did not survive. There were other Soviet sources which stated that manuscripts of his music had been destroyed during the Second World War. Legacy After his death, Bardichever's songs were published through the efforts of singer and composer Leibu Levin and writer Hersh Segal in Chernivtsi, then part of the Kingdom of Romania. This short collection, based mostly on the songs Levin had learned and performed while Bardichever was still alive, was first printed in 1939 and later reprinted in Montevideo in 1948 and Rehovot in 1980. Unfortunately, it was only a small selection of his total work, most of which have been lost, and one song was cut by Romanian censors. Because it was assembled from memory after Bardichever's death, there may be aspects of the melodies or text which differed from how he performed them. In the decades since his death, a number of Bardichever's songs have been performed by Yiddish singers in the Soviet Union, Israel and the United States, including Leibu Levin, Ben Bonus, Nechama Lifshitz, Chava Alberstein, Arkady Gendler, Bina Landau, Mikhail Alexandrovich and others. The Romanian-born Yiddish theatre actor Aryeh Laish also recorded an entire album of Bardichever songs in the 1960s called .

The White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO, sometimes written as Office of Presidential Personnel) is the White House Office tasked with vetting new appointees. Its offices are on the first floor of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. The PPO is one of the offices most responsible for assessing candidates to work at or for the White House. The Office is responsible for approximately 4,000 political appointment positions, of which 1,600 require Senate confirmation. The White House Presidential Office recruits candidates to serve in departments and agencies throughout the Executive Branch. It presents candidates for presidential appointments with Senate confirmation (PAS) to the Senate after they have been approved by the President of the United States. The mission of the office is to provide the president with the best applicants possible for presidency-appointed positions. Lastly, it also provides policy guidance for federal department and agency heads on conduct for political activities. In 2018, the PPO was made up of about 30 members, about one-third of its usual staff. The professionalism of the PPO under President Trump was challenged, with The Washington Post reporting that the office was staffed with largely-inexperienced personnel. As of July 2021, the PPO under President Biden has returned to its usual staffing numbers, with about 80 people in the office. Responsibilities The responsibilities of the Presidential Personnel Office include: handling and processing recommendations from political figures. keeping a talent bank of qualified, cleared candidates on hand. search for job candidates: executive search. screening interviews. candidate evaluation. security clearance. conflict of interest clearance. forwarding recommendations to the president. History The White House Personnel Office (WHPO) was created by Frederick V. Malek in 1971 to standardize the White House's hiring process. In 1974, President Gerald Ford renamed the WHPO to the Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) and restructured it to focus more on presidential appointments, relying more on department heads to secure non-presidential appointments in their departments. On January 4, 2017, President Donald Trump named Johnny DeStefano Director of PPO in the incoming Trump administration. On January 30, 2017, DeStefano wrote a letter to Acting Attorney General Sally Yates informing her of her dismissal. DeStefano left the position on May 24, 2019. In January 2020, Trump appointed John McEntee Director of PPO, reporting directly to Trump, who tasked him with identifying and removing political appointees and career officials deemed insufficiently loyal to the Trump administration.

- Bass Point given to Shellharbour Council for future use as natural reserve Post-1968 - minor development (building and maintaining roads; parking sites; amenities; and public facilities) Heritage listing As at 28 March 2012, Bass Point Reserve is of state heritage significance for both its Aboriginal and European values; its pre- and post-contact history; and its natural and maritime heritage. Archaeological evidence indicates that Aboriginal people have occupied the Illawarra region and Bass Point Reserve for some 20,000 years prior to the arrival of European settlers. The traditional custodians of the land, the Elouera people lived in a hunter/gatherer lifestyle, governed by the sustainable use of the environment and the resources available. Bass Point was a place of established occupation for the Aboriginal people and is regarded as a traditionally important camping and meeting place. Bass Point has been the focus of attention from archaeologists since the late 1960s as an area that has potential to reveal significant information about pre-contact history in NSW. Twelve midden sites and one camping/meeting place have been identified and archaeological excavations have revealed the environmental change and evolution of the area over time and the development of techniques used by the Aboriginal people to hunt and gather available resources. Alongside Burrill Lake rock shelter (which is of similar antiquity), Bass Point is considered to be one of the most significant Aboriginal archaeological sites to be excavated in NSW. It is considered to be a rare example of established occupation and continues to be of exceptionally high significance to the Aboriginal people of NSW. Upon the arrival of European settlers to the Illawarra region in 1803, the land of Bass Point was granted to D'Arcy Wentworth, a wealthy colonial official and the Principal Surgeon and Principal Superintendent of Police. A significant colonial figure, Wentworth developed a substantial estate (of some - including Bass Point) from 1821-1865 and was influential in the development of the Shellharbour area. Bass Point also had a significant but brief association with Captain James Cook who first made note of the region and its Aboriginal occupants as the Endeavour sailed by the coastline in April 1770. Bass Point has another brief association with the colonial explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders who made the first recorded European visit to the region in 1796. The contemporary naming of Bass Point commemorates these early explorations. Bass Point Reserve has significant natural features and

He is a former Great Britain Olympic coach and coached the Light Blues in the 1993 and 1994 Boat Races. His assistant coach was Brendan Gliddon. Cambridge women's chief coach was Robert Weber, who joined Cambridge University from Hamilton College in New York, where he was Head Rowing Coach and Associate Professor of Physical Education. He was assisted by Paddy Ryan and Astrid Cohnen. Oxford women's chief coach was the former OUBC assistant coach Andy Nelder, who previously worked with Bowden for eleven years. He was assisted by James Powell. Trials Dates for the trials, where crews are able to simulate the race proper on the Championship Course, were announced on 23 November 2018. Women Oxford's women's trial took place on the Championship Course on 7December, between Blitzen and Comet, named after two of Santa Claus's reindeer. Comet, coxed by the OUWBC president Eleanor Shearer, took an early lead and held a length's advantage by Craven Cottage. Extending their lead to two lengths by Hammersmith Bridge, Comet moved across Blitzen to control the remainder of the race. In deteriorating conditions, Comet coped better and won by three lengths. Cambridge's trial race was held on the Championship Course on 10 December, between Curie and Suttner, named after Nobel Prize winners Marie Curie and Bertha von Suttner. Suttner won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station. Curie held an early lead but a push from Suttner towards Hammersmith Bridge levelled the race, umpire Richard Phelps having to warn both crews for encroachment. A clash of blades halfway down Chiswick Eyot resulted in Suttner bow rower being unseated; Curie took advantage and rowed several lengths clear before the umpire halted the race. After the restart from Chiswick Pier, Curie held a slight lead at Barnes Bridge and took advantage of the bend of the river to pass the finishing line with a clear-water advantage. Men Oxford's trial race was held on the Championship Course on 7December, between Reggie and Flea, named in commemoration of Second Lieutenant Reginald Fletcher, who rowed for OUBC in the 1914 race, and Lieutenant Colonel William Fletcher, a member of the Dark Blue crew in four consecutive races between 1890 and 1893. The trial took place without Oxford's president, Felix

news, and book reviews, the magazine over the years included technical drawings, diagrams, and reviews of the latest forms of automated transport. It also gave general news about the latest laws concerning automobiles, and the latest news on automobile clubs. The journal had a section titled Correspondence, from the first issue. These were letters from the public, to the editor of the magazine, which Stanley would reply to in print in following issues. When Stanley Spooner started Flight magazine he would also have a Correspondence section from the first issue. Stanley Spooner was a member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, from its beginnings. He was on that Club's committee from 1900. While on this committee, he became friends with Charles Rolls, and John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara. The Aero Club of The United Kingdom was formed in 1901, and Charles Rolls was one of its founders. In its early years, this club was closely allied to The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland. Charles Rolls, and John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara, would go on to become pioneer aviators. Another pioneer aviator who Stanley went on to become friends with was Griffith Brewer, who was originally a Balloonist. On 8 October 1908 Griffith Brewer became the first Englishman to go up in an aeroplane. This occurred when he was a passenger to Wilbur Wright at Camp d'Auvours, 6.8 miles east of Le Mans in France. Griffith became friends of the Wrights, and Spooner was able to keep in contact with them via him. From around 1900 The Automotor And Horseless Vehicle Journal had a subsection titled Aeronautics. This section published information relating to early accomplishments in aviation. The title of the journal was changed to The Automotor Journal in April 1902. It was sold weekly from 19 April 1902.Along with Motor Car related information, the journal also carried on detailing the latest accomplishments in aviation, until the introduction of Flight magazine. An issue from 13 September 1903, included information about the Wright brothers experiments.

Catherine Virginia Baxley was a Confederate spy during the American Civil War. Baxley worked with infamous spy Rose Greenhow were imprisoned on December 30, 1861, and deported back to the confederate states in 1862. Later, Baxley continued being a blockade runner for the Confederacy during the civil war. She was arrested again while getting off a boat from Baltimore, Maryland and became a union prisoner. She was one of the first women confined in the Old Capital Prison, Washington, D.C. from February 24-July 2, 1865 where she was transferred after originally being held at Fort Greenhow. Like John Surratt, Baxley was a courier and carried letters across the union blockade. Baxley's son, a 17-year-old Confederate soldier, was also imprisoned at Old Capital Prison. The teenager had joined the Confederacy at 16. He arrived at the prison wounded after Baxley had already been captured for quite some time. His wounds were reportedly minor, but he was taken to the hospital infirmary. He eventually developed typhoid fever and died due to the conditions of the prison. Baxley reportedly attempted to get the guards to give better food to the boy, as a result she was removed from his side and the boy died soon after in Mary Surratt's arms. The letters According to the United States War Department, Baxley was caught carrying letters to General Winder, Mr. Benjamin, Dr. Septimus Brown, Jefferson Davies, President of the Confederate States among other Confederate leaders. She had numerous letters concealed among her person. Baxley was coming from Richmond, VA. Baxley's personal writings She wrote letters to exaggerate gender stereotypes to try to get herself released. Reportedly one week after her initial imprisonment she wrote a letter to Secretary of State Steward claiming she was a silly, innocent woman incapable of espionage. She wrote, "I carried with me nothing in the world but a few friendly letters...Liberate me, for god's sake...I shall die here." Baxley thus represented herself to the union as a well-intentioned, politically naive woman. Baxley also kept a journal during her time in prison. This journal seemed to serve the purpose of expressing her thoughts, turmoils, and emotions after being captured and watching the death of her son. The diary expresses a forceful discontent with the North. Notable writings on Baxley Rose Greenhow Greenhow frequently discussed her disdain for Baxley. Greenhow believed Baxley had overstepped acceptable codes of female conduct, namely that she

She graduated with a B.A. degree in 1999, majoring in English. Career Goldberg's work against revenge porn is best known but her career as an attorney is broader, including cases of "sextortion" (sexual extortion), online harassment, cyberstalking, intimate partner violence, and rape. Her clients include minors. Goldberg told Psychology Today that the one commonality in her clients is that "someone took away their control", whether it was their control over their body, privacy or reputation. She told The Cut in 2019 that she does not maintain a "traditional attorney-client relationship", as the sensitive nature of cases requires mutual trust. Her law firm has staff members who were formerly her clients; one such person is Norma Buster, a client relations manager whose ex-boyfriend posted revenge porn of her. Goldberg focuses on civil law, but her law firm also works on some criminal cases, restraining orders and removing abuse content from the internet. Goldberg advises people who have experienced revenge porn and online abuse to keep evidence of the crimes rather than deleting it. She says that they should first report the abuse to the websites hosting the content, then contact police or Title IX co-ordinators (in educational settings), and find legal assistance if this fails. An attorney may assist in sending cease and desist letters, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices, and search engine de-indexing requests. Early career After moving to New York in 1999, Goldberg worked with Holocaust survivors; she began law school at night school in 2003. In 2007, she graduated from her night school, Brooklyn Law School, with a J.D. degree. As a lawyer, she advocated for tenants facing eviction before moving onto guardianship law. As Director of Legal Services with the Vera Institute of Justice, Goldberg negotiated clients' wishes for end-of-life care and represented elderly people who were being taken advantage of. In interviews, Goldberg has said that her motivation to start a law firm—C.A. Goldberg PLLC—arose from her harassment by a former partner, who she nicknamed her "psycho ex". In the final chapter of Nobody's Victim, she gave more full detail. Within the space of a few months in 2012, she was: spiked, violently raped and assaulted by a doctor; sexually assaulted by a masseur; and date raped. Soon after, in 2013, she met her "psycho ex"; after they broke up, his harassment of her included abusive messages, attempted breaking and entering, frivolous litigation, sending
on 16 May 1943. The US oil tanker was transporting fuel supplies from the Middle East before running aground during a storm at what is now known as Boston Point. Australian soldiers from the 6th Australian Machine Gun Battalion were camped nearby and assisted in the rescue of the 62 crew on board. All lives from the Boston were saved but four Australian soldiers perished in the rescue. To commemorate the loss, plaques were unveiled at Bass Point in 1968 and a remembrance service is held at the site each year. Since Dunmore Estate was sold in the 1920s, the land in and around Bass Point was used by the Australian Military Forces for defensive, training and surveillance functions. By , Bass Point was purchased by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) and mining of its extensive basalt deposits was renewed. The original jetty had deteriorated beyond the needs of the mining leases and was ultimately demolished in 1958 before being replaced by a new jetty directly east of the original. Conservation as a nature reserve It was as a result of the increased mining of Bass Point in the 1960s, that its future as a natural reserve was first considered. Local conservationists had formed a society to promote the natural value of Bass Point and to balance the interests of both conservation and development. A reserve was officially declared in 1968 and, furthermore, Bushrangers Bay Marine Reserve was declared in 1982. Archaeological discoveries Since the historic value of Bass Point has been recognised, there have been archaeological investigations of the area that have revealed significant information about its pre-contact history. Of the 12 shell midden sites identified on Bass Point, Dr Sandra Bowdler investigated six sites in 1970 as the basis for her thesis. Further analysis of the remaining six sites was undertaken by Dr PJ Hughes in 1974. Middens of the NSW South Coast, including those at Bass Point, contain indicative remains of the food sources of the Aboriginal people. Upon analysis of the middens at Bass Point, Dr Bowdler and Dr Hughes discovered shells and bones of shellfish, fish, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, birds and seals. It was also considered that the many middens along the northern shoreline may, in fact, represent a single continuous midden site. These archaeological excavations revealed the environmental change and evolution of Bass Point over time and, further analysis of the midden sites has shown
to preserve Latvian traditions. The movement was officially re-registered in Latvia on 18 April 1990. Its contemporary adherents recognize Brastiņš as its founder and leading ideologue. On 26 October 2006, a monument to Brastiņš was unveiled in the Kronvald Park in central Riga, close to the Riga Congress Hall. The four and a half meter tall stone monument features an embedded bronze disc with a relief portrait of Brastiņš on its northern side, and on its southern side a sun symbol and the words "Tautai" (Folk), "Dievam" (God) and "Tēvijai" (Fatherland). It was made by the sculptor in collaboration with the stonecutter Robertu Zvagūzis and the medal artist Jānis Strupulis.

confrontation between both. Calderón ultimately supported Hernández Mayoral as the next candidate for the position of governor. Despite this support, Hernández Mayoral abandoned the candidature and former governor Pedro Roselló became the PNP's candidate. Acevedo Víla became the PPD's official candidate, choosing conservative Roberto Pratts as his candidate for Resident Commissioner. This was a strategy to diminish the differences between both wings, portraying a common goal. In October 2003, after regaining the presidency of the PPD, Acevedo Vilá reaffirmed his expressions of 1998 and within a year, the organization of a Constituent Assembly to attend the status of Puerto Rico became part of the party's 2004 Programme for Government. The PPD's government program once again supported the non-territorial development of the Commonwealth. In the 2004 general elections, Acevedo Víla defeated Roselló, while Pratts lost to Luis Fortuño. In 2005, Acevedo Vilá presented a status bill that would attend the issue and subsequently pursue a Constituent Assembly if the people of Puerto Rico supported a new process. However, after the PNP delegation replaced it with a substitutive proposal that established the Constituent Assembly as only "a possibility", the governor vetoed the project citing that "the [PNP was] trying to fool the country". George W. Bush's administration released a task force report in December 2005. The document was controversial among both factions of the PPD, first because it directly declared that the sovereignty of Puerto Rico lied exclusively in Congress and that any further development within the territorial clause was implausible and secondly, because it listed free association as a variant of independence, despite it being listed separately in the UN's General Assembly Resolution 1514. However, the report does differentiate free association from independence in practice, declaring that both the retention of the United States Citizenship and of free access (travel between countries without the need of a visa) between parts could be negotiated as part of the compact. The inform concludes that among the "constitutionally viable" options, it represents the one closest to the historical "perfected Commonwealth". Amidst the controversy that followed, the PPD's vice president and president of the PPD Mayors Association, José Aponte de la Torre, noted that the party's ideology should be redefined and reaffirmed his belief in free association. Following the release of the Bush administration's status Task Force, the PPD's Government Board approved a document reaffirming its support for a "dignified association" that was based on

Hofherr Schrantz : Clayton Shuttleworth or HSCS was an agricultural machinery company. It was formed by the merger of two Austro-Hungarian agricultural engineering businesses in 1911. A new joint stock company was formed with headquarters in Vienna and Budapest. Clayton & Shuttleworth which had been founded in Lincoln, Lincolnshire Lincoln in 1842 and had established themselves in Vienna in 1857 and later in Budapest continued its independent operations outside Austria, Hungary and Romania. Vienna in 1869 Mathias Hofherr started an agricultural machinery factory in Vienna in 1869 and a further factory in Budapest. In 1881, the Hungarian-born János Schrantz joined the company as a capital partner. Both companies had expanded considerably and Clayton and Shuttleworth had opened a further five assembly plants and factories in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and in the newly established kingdom of Romania. First factory Clayton and Shuttleworth's first factory in Vienna was built in Wien-Landstraße in 1860, but in 1905 the company relocated the factory to Floridsdorf. Following this a new company was formed in 1911 by combining all the Hofherr Schrantz and Clayton Shuttleworth factories in Austro-Hungary and Romania. The Vienna factory of Hofherr Schrantz which operated from 92 Erlachgasse in Favoriten (Vienna X) was closed as was also the Clayton Shuttleworth offices at 33 Lowengasse in Vienna III. Expansion The company continued to expand and after World War I HSCS became the largest tractor manufacturer in eastern Europe. The Vienna factory in Floridsdorf was appropriated in 1938 by Heinrich Lanz AG of Mannheim at the time of the Anschluss in Austria. During World War II the factory was used by the Nazis in the production of V2 rockets. From 1950, the number of employees decreased steadily. The company was merged with Trauzl-Werke AG in Vienna in 1969, and the Floridsdorfer Fabrik was sold to Elin AG in 1968. Redevelopment In 1970, the entire company joined Böhlerwerke AG. The factory site at Floridsdorf is currently undergoing redevelopment. The main building has now been refurbished and on 23 November 2017 was opened as Creative Culture Traktorfabrik, a collective venture containing artists studios. The Budapest factory became Hungarian state property in 1948 and was renamed Vörös Csillag Traktorgyár (Red Star Tractor Factory) in 1951. Its independent operation ceased in 1973 when it was attached to Rába. Their products were widely exported and many of the DUTRA ( a contraction of Dumper Truck and TRActor) imported into Britain

to wear it concealed, he had sawn off the piston and used a piece of carpet as a silencer. After a few hours, he finally confessed to the murder of his cousin, whom was killed with three shots and then beheaded on February 9 in an abandoned construction site on the banks of the Danube near Reichsbrücke, in order to make it harder to identify. Lorenz then led the investigators to Daubinger's body, which he had buried under a snowdrift on Donauinsel. The extreme cold-blooded and unrepentant nature of the 18-year-old not only astonished the investigators, but later led to the imposition of the maximum penalty. Just before he wrote a confession, he asked with a smile if he could start studying and practising sport in jail, and learned about the choice of books in detention centers. He also gave no comprehensible motive to date and said only that he did not like the three victims and thought they conspired against him. At first he even tried to portray Daubinger's killing as self-defense. The police assume he murdered his victims out of pure lust for killing. Despite having a notable personality disorder and mental dysfunction to a great extent, he was declared sane. Docent Dr. Willibald Sluga from the Department of Psychiatry said that he did not know a single crime that was comparable to it and that it was committed by a mental patient. Prosecutor Ernst Kloyber "has not experienced such crimes in 15 years of work experience" and demanded the maximum penalty, while Lorenz's defender Gunther Gahleitner cited the accused's poor childhood and wanted for him not be condemned, but be sent to a mental institution. The last words of the defendant were: "My defender is psychotic." On March 14, 1984, Günter Lorenz was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by presiding Justice Paul Weiser and was sent to a mental institution. In 2004, his dismissal was prevented by a psychiatric report, whereupon he began rampaging in Mittersteig Prison, threatening a psychologist and smashing furniture. He was overwhelmed by seven officials and was later transferred to the Stein Prison. Impact The character murder of Daubinger triggered outrage. His picture was published in the newspapers and he was named a "murderer", "double murderer" and "killer", based solely on Lorenz's statements. His affiliation to the right-wing scene and his alleged obsession with weapons proved completely unfounded. Many newspapers then published a
the country: they were taken to Vila Franca de Xira, where they were put in a 2nd class carriage of the train to Badajoz, Spain, under escort by four guards. Following this move, the popular protests become more violent and take up the streets. On 26 November, a commission composed of António Bellá, Constantino Mendes, Gaspar da Silva, Manuel Augusto Ferreira, Júlio Cruz, José da Veiga, Armando Almeida, and José Candeias, organises a public rally against the deportation of the Chinesas dos Bichos, by the Anjos Church. Impassioned speeches were made: about it being a "protest against all those who just want to make money, no matter the results", crying for "justice to be made, and respect for the foreigners", that "the Constitution was flouted when the police entered the home of respected citizens", that ophthalmologists had colluded to get rid of the Chinese women, and attacking Eusébio Leão "as a physician, as civil governor, and chiefly as a Republican". The crowd then gathered at the Rotunda, where further speeches were made; from there, they marched down Avenida da Liberdade towards the seat of the Civil Government, in the Chiado neighbourhood. As Eusébio Leão was not there, the crowd split: one part went to the main offices of the newspaper A Lucta where they demonstrated against Brito Camacho, a member of Parliament who had dismissed the case as "a simple matter for the police" (due to the proximity of the residence of President Arriaga – at the time, Horta Seca Palace – infantry and cavalry units of the National Republican Guard had to secure the building), the others filled Rossio Square, where "improvised speakers inflamed passersby, going from the Chinese women to current politics, and were met with applause and hurrays". António Machado Santos, the hero of the Republican Revolution just one year prior, tried to calm down the crowd, but was forced to take refuge in a shop, under gun fire, and only managed to leave in an automobile after the National Republican Guard arrived. The exchange of fire between the Guard and the crowd produced 46 injured, 1 casualty (milliner José da Costa, aged 20, who died on the morning of 27 November in São José Hospital after being shot twice on the chest), and several arrests. The following day, 27 November 1911, the incidents were discussed at length in Parliament: Machado Santos, who had been one of

He sailed from Portsmouth on 9 June 1804. Neptune was part of a convoy of nine Indiamen, all bound for China: , Arniston, , Cuffnells, , , , and . provided the escort. The fleet arrived at Rio de Janeiro around 14–18 August; Neptune arrived on 17 August. The fleet left Rio on 1 September and later passed the Cape of Good Hope. To avoid French ships reported to be in the Indian Ocean, the fleet sailed towards Western Australia, rather than to the Straits of Malacca. The fleet sailed to Norfolk Island via Bass Strait; Norfolk Island was the next rendezvous point after Saint Paul Island, for members that had separated. Neptune arrived at Whampoa on 13 January 1805. Homeward bound, she was at Malacca on 21 March, reached St Helena on 30 June, and arrived at The Downs on 10 September. EIC voyage #5 (1806–1808) Captain Thomas Buchanan sailed from Portsmouth on 14 May 1806, bound for China. Neptune was at the Cape of Good Hope on 7 August and Penang on 14 October, and arrived at Whampoa on 18 January 1807. Homeward bound, she crossed the Second Bar on 23 February. However, while Neptune was at Canton in March, a major incident occurred. Thirty or forty seamen from Neptune scuffled with a number of Chinese and overmatching the Chinese, drove them away. The next day two to three thousand Chinese appeared opposite to the factory where Captain Buchanan was staying. They started throwing stones and brickbats, and attempted to force the closed gate. They returned on the third day, when the seamen sallied forth with walking sticks. The sailors succeeded in dispersing the crowd, but one of the Chinese, on returning home, suddenly died. The Chinese government demanded that the British deliver up the seaman who had struck the blow that proved fatal. The British replied that it was impossible to determine who that man was, and that it would be unjust to pick one seaman at random. The Chinese government was adamant and forbade the entire fleet of Indiamen from leaving. A local Chinese merchant who was acting as security merchant for Neptune was forced to sign an agreement that imperiled his life and fortune if he did not produce the

by well known artist since the 1840s largely due to Sparks connections and the picturesque scheme he established on the estate. Many of Spark's original documents are available today and together with the intactness of the Tempe Estate provide an extremely rare and valuable historical asset. As such Tempe Estate and its connection to Spark have exceptional historical significance. The site is associated with several people of renown. As well as the original owner Spark, the Estate is also associated with the architect John Verge who designed the house in 1833, the architects Sheerin and Hennessy who designed the Chapel 1888 and Caroline Chisolm who operated a girls school from the site for a period. The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales. The house and setting of Tempe Estate are particularly significant as a consciously designed "Arcadian Villa". Spark erected a house designed by John Verge in keeping with his vision of a Grecian inspired temple. The picturesque ideal involved contrasting tamed expanses of open landscape with clusters of rough or "wild" outcrops of rocks or stands of trees. Tempe House was placed to take advantage of the ideal romantic and picturesque site on the Cooks River with the "Mt Olympus" knoll as backdrop. Both the setting and the house designed for it remain an exceptionally intact example of picturesque landscaping and design from the 1830s. These same aspects can be appreciated today despite the many constraints of its setting. The open space leading to the Cooks River provides views of the surrounding area and Fatima Island that are integral to the landscaped scheme and are of considerable aesthetic importance. The surviving views are similar to those shown in the earliest illustrations both from the northern side of the river toward the house and from the house looking northward across the river. The open space is of importance not only as a historical scheme but also for the contemporary community as the Tempe Estate can be appreciated from many surrounding vantage points. As such, the landscape of Tempe Estate must be seen as highly significant. Tempe Estate has landmark qualities as an exceptional space within the local landscape. The "Olympus Knoll" and exposed cliff face beside Princes Highway and the open parkland from the river combine to give the site landmark qualities. Consciously designed as an

St Thomas' Anglican Church is a heritage-listed Anglican church at Hay Street, Port Macquarie, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1823 to 1827 by convict labour under military supervision. The property is owned by the Anglican Diocese of Grafton. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 18 October 2002. History The location of what is now Port Macquarie was first discovered by Europeans when it was found by the Surveyor General of New South Wales, John Oxley in 1818. Lachlan Macquarie, then Governor of New South Wales, was impressed by reports of the area noting its valuable timber reserves, its suitable farm lands, and its seaboard location for ready passage by ship to and from Sydney, and thus established Port Macquarie as a penal settlement in 1821. It was one of only two places for secondary punishment of convicts in New South Wales outside Sydney. The site for Anglican worship in the newly established penal settlement was reputedly chosen by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, although it seems that Governor Brisbane believed that this would not be a permanent arrangement when he wrote that 'the Church was to be so constructed that it could be used for other purposes when no longer required as a place of worship.' A simple ground plan and elevation of St Thomas' exist and are believed to be "progress drawing" of the Church. The drawings are signed by the Lieutenant T. H. Owen, Engineer and Inspector of Works in Port Macquarie from January 1825 to September 1827. Little is known about T. H. Owen or if he actually designed the building. The Church foundation stone was laid by Lieutenant G. R. Carmac, Acting Commandant, also Engineer and Inspector of Public Works, on the 8 December 1824, at a service conducted by the Reverend Thomas Hassall who had been appointed as Chaplain to the settlement in August of the same year. The building was constructed by convict labour under military supervision and although was completed in February 1827, the first public service of worship was not held in the building until February 1828 upon the arrival from Windsor of the Reverend John Cross. At the time the population stood at 820 souls of which only 153 were free. This began the long and faithful ministry of "Parson Cross" as he was familiarly known, not only to the people
Strickland was taken ill on the march through Scotland and was left at Carlisle: following its retaking by the government he appears to have claimed to be a French subject, but died there on 1 January 1746. James later wrote a letter to Charles describing the deaths of Strickland and Sheridan as "a manifest call from heaven for you to [...] rescue yourself from such hands". George Kelly The Rev. George Kelly (1688-1762) was an Irish nonjuring Protestant clergyman, born in County Roscommon. He attended Trinity College Dublin. In 1722 he was involved in the pro-Stuart Atterbury Plot; he was arrested, forfeited his estates, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the King's pleasure, before later escaping. In 1736 a memoir of his experiences was published by Edmund Curll. He was said to be distrusted by James and to have had little understanding of the situation in England but was brought by Charles for his management of the rebels' propaganda efforts. He drafted the Manifesto issued by Charles early in the rebellion. Kelly, described by Charles's biographer McLynn as "one of the few truly evil men among the Jacobites", was sent back to France to report on the Jacobite victory at the Battle of Prestonpans and did not return to Scotland. To James's dismay he continued to serve as Charles's secretary. He was said to have died at Avignon in October 1762. Aeneas Macdonald Aeneas Macdonald (c.1715-1770) was a Scots-French banker, who had spent most of his adult life in Paris. He was the son of a Clanranald tacksman, Ranald MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart; his younger brother, Donald MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart, also played a prominent role in the rebellion as Charles's Aide-de-camp. Prior to the uprising, the Gaelic songs and poetry of Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair, such as: Òran Nuadh — "A New Song", Òran nam Fineachan Gaidhealach — "The Song of the Highland Clans" and Òran do'n Phrionnsa — "A Song to the Prince," were, according to literary historian John MacKenzie, sent to Aeneas MacDonald, in Paris. Aeneas read the poems aloud to Prince Charles Edward Stuart in English translation and the poems played a major role in convincing the Prince to come to Scotland and to initiate the Jacobite Rising of 1745. MacDonald was responsible for arranging much of Charles's initial funding, though later presented himself as a reluctant participant in the expedition who only accompanied them
and Vienna, and Begić's proposal to the emperor, wrote to Pope Pius X and proposed Frane Lulić, a Dalmatian Franciscan; and two Herzegovinian Franciscans Špiro Špirić and David Nevistić, as candidates for his successor. Buconjić became disappointed with the Herzegovinian Franciscans, who saw his first choice, a Dalmatian Lulić, as an insult. After being warned only the emperor had the right of appointment, and the Pope of confirmation, Buconjić proposed the same candidates to Franz Joseph and asked him for the appointment of the bishop coadjutor. The government in Sarajevo considered Lulić to be unfit because he was living in Rome and as a Dalmatian would not handle a Herzegovinian diocese. The Austrian-Hungarian authorities were repulsed by anyone from Rome and who did not adopt the monarchy's liberal policies of Josephinism. The government in Sarajevo considered Mišić to be more qualified than the other two candidates. The government in Vienna informed Rome about its intention to name Mišić as the bishop coadjutor but Rome was balanced between the suggestions of the Austrian-Hungarian authorities and of Buconjić, and opted to wait until Buconjić's death to resolve the issue. Buconjić died in Mostar on 8 December 1910 and was buried in the city's Church of Saint Peter and Paul. As requested by the canon law, on 19 December 1910, the Metropolitan Archbishop Stadler named Lazarević administrator in spiritual matters of the two Herzegovinian dioceses. The material care of the dioceses was given to Glavaš, who used his position to further enrich the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina. Stadler informed the government in Vienna about his appointments and proposed Ivan Šarić, Tomo Igrc and Ivan Dujmušić as candidates for the new bishop in Mostar, noting he also considered Herzegovinian Franciscans but in his conscientiousness could not propose any of them. His proposals were quickly dismissed because the Austrian-Hungarian authorities preferred Franciscans over diocesan clergy and wanted a Franciscan to be the new bishop. Even though Rome supported Buconjić's first choice Lulić, after his death, the Austrian-Hungarian authorities did not consider Lulić a serious candidate. Rome did not support Vienna's choice of Mišić because of his conflict with Archbishop Stadler and started to seek its own candidates. After the friction about the candidates for bishop in Mostar, the Austrian-Hungarian authorities officially proposed Mišić to Rome for the post for the second time on 5 January 1912. The pope accepted the proposal so Burián asked the
