The General Lying-In Hospital was one of the first maternity hospitals in Great Britain. It opened in 1767 on Westminster Bridge Road, London and closed in 1971. Lying-in is an archaic term for childbirth (referring to the month-long bed rest prescribed for postpartum confinement).

History

The General Lying-In Hospital was an initiative of Dr John Leake, a physician, and the site chosen was on the north side of Westminster Bridge Road, Lambeth, then on the outskirts of London. Its foundation stone was laid in August 1765 and the facility opened as the Westminster New Lying-in Hospital in April 1767.

With a view to expansion, the governors bought a lease of a plot of ground with 100-foot frontage on the east side of York Road, Lambeth in the early 1820s. The new building was designed by Henry Harrison and was built at a cost of about £3,000. On 22 September 1828, the minutes record that "On Friday Morning a Patient was delivered of a Son in the New Hospital and the Committee met this day in the new Hospital for the first time." The facility was incorporated by royal charter as the General Lying-In Hospital in 1830. A new ward and a training school for midwives was established in 1879.

Joseph Lister became consulting surgeon in March 1879 and Sir John Williams and Sir Francis Champneys were appointed physicians the following year. Two houses on the north side of the hospital, known as the Albany Baths, were converted into a nurses' home (i.e. staff accommodation) in 1907; this facility was re-built between 1930 and 1933 as a modern red brick building with a mansard roof, designed by E. Turner Powell. The hospital was evacuated to Diocesan House, St Albans during the Second World War, but returned to Lambeth and joined the National Health Service under the management of St Thomas' Hospital in 1946.

Restoration
The hospital closed in 1971 and fell into a state of dereliction. It was restored and refurbished in 2003 at a cost of £4.27 million financed in part by a grant from the Guy's and St Thomas' Charity. Since March 2013 the building has comprised part of the Premier Inn Hotel Waterloo. The modern elements of the hotel were nominated for the 2013 Carbuncle Cup for bad buildings.

Ralph Jacobus Fairbanks (December 26, 1857 – October 3, 1943) was an American prospector, entrepreneur, and pioneer who established several towns in the Death Valley area of California, including Fairbanks Springs (1904–05), Shoshone (1910), and Baker (1929).

Early life
Fairbanks was born to Mormon pioneer parents David and Susan Mandeville Fairbanks in Payson, Utah, on December 26, 1857.

Career
He was a descendant of Jonathan Fairbanks. He followed a job with the railroad at start of the 20th century south to Las Vegas, Nevada, and eventually moved his family to Death Valley.

Earlier in 1883, Fairbanks had been among those called by John Taylor to start a new settlement in the Sevier Valley.

R. J. "Dad" Fairbanks, as he was known to locals, built businesses and towns throughout the region and built the first Standard Oil service station in the area, in Baker. He was known for saving tourists and prospectors who wandered into the desert, and also recovered bodies of unlucky travelers.

Personal life
He married Celestia Adelaide Johnson in 1877 and had eleven children. Only eight survived to adulthood.

When Fairbanks was in his 70s, he moved to Santa Paula, California, with his wife Celeste to live with their youngest daughter, Zella Modine, and her family. Celeste died in 1938 and Ralph moved to Hollywood, California, with Zella and granddaughter Nola Fairbanks. Ralph died on October 3, 1943, at the Hollywood Nursing Home. His great-grandson is actor Matthew Modine.

Though his parents and wife were Members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Fairbanks was never a devout member of the religion.

Vjekoslav Karas (19 May 1821 - 5 July 1858) was a Croatian painter, considered a pioneer of a new era of Croatian painting and art in general.

Life
Born in Karlovac, Croatia, Karas was sent to be educated in Italy in 1838. While in Rome, he drew inspiration from biblical and religious themes, painting Mother with Moses on the river bank. While in Italy he developed a love for music and learned to play the flute and the guitar while composing songs in both Italian and Croatian. He began focusing his craft on portraits, painting Roman woman playing a lute and Roman commoner before returning to Karlovac in 1848. Upon his return, he continued painting portraits and began painting local country life and local folk. He moved to Zagreb and began teaching. From 1851-18522 he traveled to Bosnia where he painted a portrait of Ottoman field marshal and governor Omer-paša Latas and his daughter.

Karas suffered periodically from depression and had even attempted suicide. He briefly stayed with bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Đakovo, but left soon after his suicide attempt. Still suffering from depression and living in poverty, Karas committed suicide by drowning in the Korana river in his native Karlovac.

is a shōjo manga by Shoko Hamada and published by Asahi Sonorama. It was licensed and published into English in for release in North America by Aurora Publishing in 2007. Reception of the English release of the series has been mixed. The artwork has overall been called crude and the plot was the focus of criticism, but reviewers praised the story for its message.

Plot

A pop band called Angelaid creates a fashion amongst their fans to wear angel wings. This permits sufferers of angelosis, a stigmatized disease which causes angel wings to sprout from people's backs, to hide their affliction. Shea suddenly sprouts angel wings, and his brother tapes Shea's wings and sends it into the news, so Shea becomes a government spokesman on accepting angelosis.

Release

In 2007, Aurora Publishing confirmed it had the license to publish Flock of Angels into English for release ion North America. The first volume was released in August 2007 and concluded with the third volume in June 2008.

Reception

Casey Brienza from Anime News Network gave the English release of the manga a B rating. He states that there is an "Intriguing socio-political commentary buried beneath an improbable plot premise" but that the narrative is poor and the characters are not developed well. Greg Hackmann from Mania gave the first two volumes reviews. For both volumes he criticizes the artwork calling it "poor and crude". The first volume he describes as having large plot holes with large parts of the plot being "completely nonsensical". Greg calls the second volume a mild improvement over the first but still cites poor elements such as the plot. Johanna Carlson from Comics Worth Reading gave a review of the third English release volume of the series. She says that for those who have read the other volumes the third is the most enjoyable. She states that the message about kids accepting diversity in the story is "beautiful". Katherine Dacey from pop culture shock also gave the first English release volume a review. She gave the volume a C+ rating citing the "story’s glaring weaknesses" from the long speeches in the storyline to the quickly resolved conflicts. In his review Jason Thompson gives the series 4/5 stars. He describes the artwork as crude, but praises the story for its message and completeness.

Dawn C. Burrell (born November 1, 1973) is an American chef and retired long jumper. She won the gold medal at the 2001 IAAF World Indoor Championships and represented the United States at the 2000 Summer Olympics. In her culinary career, she was a semifinalist in 2020 for a James Beard Foundation Award. Burrell is the younger sister of former 100 m world record holder Leroy Burrell.

Athletic career

Burrell attended Penn Wood High School and enjoyed her first athletic successes in 1991 when she won four Pennsylvania state titles in the jumps and hurdles and won a bronze medal at the United States Junior Championships. She initially started out in the 100 meter hurdles and reached the event final at the 1992 World Junior Championships in Athletics. Burrell gradually began to focus more on the long jump and it was in this event that she made her first senior international appearance, taking fifth place in the final at the 1995 Pan American Games. She represented the University of Houston at the NCAA Track and Field Championships from 1993 to 1995 and was graduated the following year.

In 1997 she won the long jump title at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, and repeated the feat the following year with a personal best jump of 6.92 meters. That year she also set an outdoor best of 6.90 m and took the bronze at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She came fourth at the 1998 Goodwill Games (two centimeters off third-placed Niki Xanthou) and competed at the 1998 IAAF Grand Prix Final, where she finished eighth.

Burrell was runner-up to Shana Williams at the national indoor championships, but still was selected for the 1999 IAAF World Indoor Championships and she finished eighth in the long jump final. She won her first and only outdoor American title with a personal record of 6.96 m in Eugene, Oregon. She reached the long jump final at the 1999 World Championships in Athletics alongside fellow Americans Marion Jones and Shana Williams. Burrell finished sixth at what would be her first and only appearance on the outdoor world stage.

In 2000, she was the runner up at the United States Olympic Track and Field Trials, jumping a wind-assisted 6.97 m and earning selection for the upcoming Summer Olympics. In August, she set an outdoor career best mark of 6.98 m to win the long jump at the DN Galan meeting in Stockholm. Representing the United States at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she reached the event final as the third best qualifier behind Heike Drechsler and Marion Jones, having cleared 6.77 m; however, Burrell could not match her earlier form and ended the competition final with a sole legal jump of 6.38 m, finishing in tenth place. She closed her season with a silver medal in the long jump at the 2000 IAAF Grand Prix Final, where she had a wind-assisted jump of 6.99 m behind Drechsler. She also ran in the 100 m hurdles at the competition and was seventh in the final.

The 2001 season held significant career highs and lows for the athlete. She started the year by taking her third U.S. Indoor title in the long jump. She was chosen to compete at the 2001 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Lisbon, Portugal. Burrell gave the greatest performance of her career with a jump of 7.03 m – her first time over the seven-meter mark. This was enough to win the gold medal some five centimeters ahead of the defending champion, Russian athlete Tatyana Kotova. The jump brought Burrell into the top ten long jumpers on the all-time indoor lists and made her the second best American indoors, behind Jackie Joyner-Kersee. She began preparing for the outdoor season, but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to her knee in April which ruled her out for the entire season. The injury effectively ended her career as she competed sparingly thereafter but never again won a national title.

Culinary career
After retiring from her athletic career, Burrell turned to the food world, enrolling at the Art Institute of Houston to study culinary arts. Her first restaurant jobs included working for chef Tom Aikens in London and Monica Pope in Houston. She next went to work for Tyson Cole at the restaurant Uchi's Houston location, then became sous chef at Uchi’s sister restaurant in Austin,  Uchiko. From there, Burrell became executive chef at Kulture, a Houston restaurant focused on dishes of the African diaspora, described as “global comfort” food. For her work at Kulture, Burrell was a semifinalist for a James Beard Foundation Award for “Best Chef: Texas” in 2020. She left the role following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic; at the time, she was caring for her mother who had recently had a stroke and the COVID exposure involved in working in a restaurant would have endangered her.

Burrell appeared as a contestant on the Cutthroat Kitchen episode "Fowl Play," the "Knife Strife" episode of Chopped, and the Man vs. Master: Chef Battle episode "Dim Sum You Lose Sum". She competed on Top Chef: Portland, which aired in 2021. She finished in the top three, making it to the season finale. Burrell said of her success on the show, “My platform is extremely important […] I’m happy to reveal on national TV that Black women can cook at a high level. Let’s normalize it.” She then returned for Top Chef: World All-Stars, which aired in 2023, but was eliminated in the second episode.

The capitalist state  is the state, its functions and the form of organization it takes within capitalist socioeconomic systems. This concept is often used interchangeably with the concept of the modern state. Despite their common functions, there are many recognized differences in sociological characteristics among capitalist states.

The primary functions of the capitalist state are to provide a legal framework and infrastructural framework conducive to business enterprise and the accumulation of capital. Different normative theories exist on the necessary and appropriate function of the state in a capitalist economy, with proponents of laissez-faire favoring a state limited to the provision of public goods and safeguarding private property rights while proponents of interventionism stress the importance of regulation, intervention and macroeconomic stabilization for providing a favorable environment for the accumulation of capital and business.

Thus, thinkers in the Marxist tradition often refer to the capitalist state as the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Thinkers in the instrumental Marxist tradition stress the role of policymakers and political elites sharing a common business or class background, leading to their decisions reflecting their class interest. This is differentiated from more contemporary notions of state capture by specific business interests for the benefit of those specific businesses and not the ruling class or capitalist system as a whole, which is variously referred to as crony capitalism or corporatocracy.

According to Dylan John Riley, Nicos Poulantzas argued that "all capitalist States had the dual task of preventing the political organization of the dominated classes, and of organizing the dominant class".

Jason Lee Epperson (born August 13, 1978), known professionally as Jay E, is an American record producer, entrepreneur and DJ. He is a co-founder of the production team Basement Beats. Jay E rose to fame as the producer of rapper Nelly's multi-platinum 2000 album Country Grammar which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. He has produced songs for Murphy Lee, St. Lunatics, Justin Timberlake, E-40, Cedric the Entertainer, Lil Wayne, Ron Isley, Three 6 Mafia, and Hilary Duff. He is credited as one of the producers of St. Louis hip hop, a style characterized by hip hop mixed with soul, rhythm and blues and pop music. Billboard magazine, in the December 2000 issue, listed Jay E at No. 16 of the Top 100 Producers and No. 19 of the Top 100 R&B/Hip Hop Producers of 2000.

Early life

Jay E was born on August 13, 1978, the first child of three. His mother was a stay-at-home mom. In the early '90s, he attended St. Charles West High School. He first took an interest in musical instruments at the age of 14, learning piano and light guitar. Having had an interest in becoming a DJ, he purchased his first turntable at the age of 15.  It was an off-brand turntable and his first record was by KRS-One. He would go on to work and perfect his craft as a DJ. Some of his early influences were DJs such as Kid Capri and Jam Master Jay. Thereafter, he focused on his social life and entertainment for the remainder of his high school years. Jay would DJ for local house parties and would later land a job at a local St. Louis roller skating rink. His first shot at production was in Saints Studio in 1996; this is where he met future St. Lunatics member Ali who introduced him to the St. Lunatics.

Music career

1998: First release: Who's the Boss EP
The first release by the St. Lunatics was the EP Who's the Boss with production by Jay E. Its lead single, "Gimme What U Got", was the group's first local hit. The independent release brought forth a huge buzz which pushed Jay to work even harder on his production style and another EP with the St. Lunatics. This album was not released under Universal Music but was released by the owner of the original music.

2000: Country Grammar, Bait and The Original Kings of Comedy soundtracks, Rasheeda
While working at the roller rink as a DJ and with the St. Lunatics, Jay began to develop a unique style of production. His first major placement was on St. Lunatic's member Nelly's first solo album, Country Grammar. It was released on June 27, 2000, by Universal Records. The production on the album was handled by Jason "Jay E" Epperson, with additional production by C-Love, Kevin Law, City Spud, Steve "Blast" Wills and Basement Beats. This album brought forth a Saint Louis Midwest swing never before heard in production. It supported four very successful singles: "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)", "E.I.", "Ride wit Me" and "Batter Up". The lead single, "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)", peaked at number 7 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart. "E.I." charted at number 16, number 12 and number 11 on the Hot 100, UK Singles Chart and ARIA Singles Chart, respectively. "Ride wit Me" peaked within the top five on the Hot 100, ARIA Singles Chart, Irish Singles Chart and UK Singles Chart.

Country Grammar received positive reviews for the album's production. It was at the top of the US Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks and the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for six consecutive weeks. It also peaked in the top five on the New Zealand Albums Chart and Australian Albums Chart as well as the top ten on the Canadian Albums Chart and Dutch Albums Chart. The album was certified three times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) and Music Canada (MC), denoting shipments of 45,000 and 300,000 copies.

In 2016, it became the ninth hip hop album to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipment of 10 million copies in the US. The success of this album made Jay E one of the hottest new producers. After its release, it would go on to sell over 10 million copies. The song "Ride with Me" would go on to receive Grammy nominations. The song "Country Grammar" would receive nominations for best rap performance and the album received a nomination for best rap album of the year. The success of this album opened the door for other projects.

The song "Icey" featuring Nelly and the St. Lunatics was featured on the soundtrack to Bait, a 2000 action-comedy film. It was released on September 12, 2000, by Warner Bros. Records and featured a blend of hip hop and R&B music. The soundtrack reached #49 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

The song "Summer in the City" features the St. Lunatics and Nelly on the soundtrack to the 2000 film The Original Kings of Comedy, released on August 22, 2000, through Universal Records.  It mainly consisted of performances by the film's four stars, Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley, but five original music tracks also appeared. The soundtrack peaked at 50 on the Billboard 200 and 15 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Dirty South is the debut solo album by Rasheeda. The album was released in late March 2001 and peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The track titled "ATL NO 2" was produced by Jay E.

2001: Osmosis Jones soundtrack and Free City
Osmosis Jones: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 2001 film released on August 7, 2001, through Atlantic Records consisting of hip hop and contemporary R&B. Jay E produced the track "Summer in the City".

Jay E co-produced Free City, an album which was dedicated for the release of St. Lunatics member, City. The album would debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the RIAA a month later. The album would open up many doors for his new style of production.

2002: O-Town, Nellyville, Heavy Starch

O2 is the second studio album by American boy band O-Town, following the success of their triple-platinum self-titled debut album. O2 peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200. The song "Favorite Girl" was produced by Jay E. The album charted on the U.S. Billboard 200.

With the success of the first two albums, Jay E would begin working on Nelly's second solo album, Nellyville.  It was released on June 25, 2002, by Universal Records and the indie label Fo' Reel. The album includes production by Jay E, while additional production was provided by The Neptunes and Just Blaze. Nellyville peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 selling 715,000 copies in its opening week. The album stayed atop the chart for four non-consecutive weeks and became certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over six million copies, making this Jay E's second number-one album, second multi-platinum album, and second top ten in the United States. Internationally, Nellyville peaked at number 2 in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Félix Louis L'Herminier (18 May 1779 – 25 October 1833) was a French pharmacist and naturalist born in Paris. His son, Ferdinand Joseph L'Herminier (1802 – 1866), was a botanist and zoologist.

Felix L'Herminier studied chemistry and natural history in Paris, and in 1798 travelled to Guadeloupe, where he spent a number of years studying the island's flora and fauna. For political reasons, in 1815, he was exiled to Saint Barthélemy (then a Swedish possession), later moving to Charleston, South Carolina, where he worked as a curator of natural history in the city museum (1816–1819). Afterwards, he resumed his scientific studies in Guadeloupe prior to returning to France in 1829.

He published several works on ornithology, including a treatise on the role and function of the sternum in birds, titled Recherches sur l'appareil sternal des oiseaux, considéré sous le double rapport de l'ostéologie et la myologie, suivies d'un essai sur la distribution de cette classe de vertébrés (1827).

He has several zoological species named after him, including the Guadeloupe woodpecker (Melanerpes herminieri ), the Martinique curly-tailed lizard (Leiocephalus herminieri ), and Audubon's shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri ).

Nicholas (Nick) John Phillips (26 September 1933 – 23 May 2009) was an English physicist, notable for the development of photochemical processing techniques for the colour hologram. Holograms typically used to have low signal-to-noise ratios, and Phillips is credited as the pioneer of silver halide holographic processing techniques for producing high-quality reflection holograms.

Career
Phillips graduated with a BSc degree in physics from Imperial College, London. He was a senior researcher at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), Aldermaston, from 1959 to 1962. He was a research scientist at the Sperry Rand Research Centre, Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States, from 1962 to 1963. He was a theoretical physicist at English Electric, Whetstone, Leicester, UK, from 1963 to 1965.

From 1965 to 1993 he was appointed at Loughborough University, where he rose to Professor of Applied Optics.  In October 1993, he was appointed as Professor of Imaging Science at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. Phillips was the co-founder in the early 1970s of Holoco, who using lasers supplied by The Who (that had been used in laser light shows during their concerts), constructed the Light Fantastic exhibitions as The Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1977–8.

The company became Advanced Holographics in 1980 when The Who withdrew their financial backing, and was based in Loughborough, UK, and later became part of Markem Systems.

Research and achievements
Phillips is credited with the development of bleaching and processing techniques, which made it possible to
record multi-color reflection holograms from a single wavelength laser. His research interests include holographic displays, edge-lit holograms, optical encoding for security, photopolymers, and novel micro-optic systems, and he has numerous patents in these areas.

Holographic art
Phillips developed a technique for producing white light holograms that work in dim lighting conditions, which are now widely used in  the world of holographic art.

Awards
Phillips was awarded the Institute of Physics Thomas Young Medal (1981) in recognition for contributions to holography, particularly the development of high quality holograms for visual display.  He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.

Mars Electric was an American rock band from Birmingham, Alabama.

History
Lead singer Jacob Bunton first formed the group under the name Wish in Birmingham in 1995. They signed with Atlantic Records in 1997 and recorded an album, but Atlantic dropped them before releasing any of their material. In 1999, legendary A&R guru John Kalodner signed the band to Columbia and released their debut record Beautiful Something in February 2000. The band consisted of Bunton on lead vocals, guitarist Michael Swann (later replaced by Chris Simons), Bassist Carl Ray Hopper, and drummer Matt Finn.  The group toured with Stone Temple Pilots, Mötley Crüe, Live, 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Vertical Horizon, Alice Cooper and Papa Roach following the album's release.

Mars Electric broke up at the end of 2000, and Bunton put together a group called Lynam, which would go on to have its own major-label contract a few years later. However, in 2003, Magnus Soderkvist of Swedish label Atenzia Records learned the group had recorded a second album which was never released, and offered to put it out on his label. The result was Fame Among the Vulgar, released in May 2003. By this time, Lynam had become Bunton's primary concern, and Simmons went on to play with Leon Russell later in the decade.

, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kaoru Ohashi. Nightmares for Sale is a series of short stories that feature Shadow and Maria, a duo who run a pawnshop with items for those in need. Things quickly turn horrific however, when unsuspecting customers get more than what they bargained for. The two volume series was published in Japan by Asahi Sonorama, with the first volume released in January 2002 and the second following in February. It is licensed for an English language release in North America by Aurora Publishing. The English adaptation received mixed reviews with some reviews calling them a good group of horror stories, while others cite the poor quality of them.

Plot

Shadow and Maria run a pawnshop where strange trinkets have the power to grant the wildest dreams of their customers. However, dreams come at a heavy price and, most of the time, they end up giving up something that they never should have parted with in the first place.

Release

Nightmares for Sale was a one shot manga series made by Kaoru Ohashi which was released in Japan by Asahi Sonorama. Two volumes were released in all, both during the first two months of 2002. In April, 2007 Aurora Publishing announced it had licensed Nightmares for Sale with a release date set for later that year. The first volume was released in November, 2007 with the second following  in March, 2008.

Reception

The English-language adaptation released by Aurora Publishing received mixed reviews. Sakura Eries from Mania.com reviewed both volumes. In the first volume she gave a B, saying that it is a good horror series for people who like the dark side of humanity in "bite sized chunks". The second volume was also given a B grade by Sakura. In her second review she calls the endings "more bittersweet than gruesome", but says that one of the stories in particular makes up for that. Andrew Wheeler from ComicM!x called the series an "old fashioned" horror story, saying that the stories aren't great but purely good. He goes on to say that the characters are "enigmatic", and that the stories are told accurately. Johanna Draper from Comics Worth Reading gave the series a more negative review. She calls the themes ambitious, but goes on to say that the execution is poor. She also cites that the shocking twists do not make up for the poor story structure. Katherine Dacey from PopCultureShock also gave the series a negative review giving it a D rating. In her review she says that a lot of the stories were "sloppily executed", and that the characters are "awkwardly" drawn. Manga expert Deb Aoki found the series horrific, and placed it second on a list of "13 Creepy Comics and Gruesome Graphic Novels"

John Hunter (13 August 1851 – 9 April 1903) was an English footballer who won the FA Cup with Blackburn Olympic in 1883 and made seven appearances for England between 1878 and 1882 playing at half back.

Career
Hunter was born in Crookes, Nether Hallam, West Riding of Yorkshire on 13 August 1851 and worked as a butcher and silver cutler in the city whilst playing for various clubs, including Heeley, Providence, Sheffield Albion and The Zulus.

He won all his England caps whilst playing for Sheffield Heeley, a club he originally joined in 1870. His first international appearance was at Hampden Park, Glasgow against Scotland on 2 March 1878. Although England "fielded a side they thought capable of defeating the Scots, ...(they) returned home with a humiliating 7-2 defeat". He was next selected in March 1880 for matches away to Scotland (lost 5-4) and Wales which resulted in a 3–2 victory; this was Hunter's only victory in his seven England appearances.

He was again selected the following year for the two home internationals. In the match against Wales, played at Alexandra Meadows, Blackburn on 26 February 1881, he was appointed captain, but Wales achieved their first victory on English soil with a 1-0 success. For the following game, Hunter retained his place but the captaincy moved to Norman Bailey. In the match, played at Kennington Oval, London on 12 March 1881, England suffered yet another "humiliating" defeat as the Scots returned home with a 6–1 victory.

Despite England's poor performances against the Scots, Hunter was again selected for the international matches in March 1892. In both these matches, England conceded five goals going down 5–1 at Hampden Park, Glasgow on 11 March and 5–3 at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham two days later. These two defeats brought Hunter's international career to a close.

After a short spell with The Wednesday, Hunter was appointed manager of a public house in Blackburn where he joined the Olympic in 1882 as both player and coach. Blackburn Olympic had been founded in August 1877 and soon evolved into one of the finest sides in Lancashire. Hunter, an astute coach and tactician, taught the Olympic players the art of the passing game. Hunter coached a team of tradesmen and weavers to overcome the dominance of local rivals, Blackburn Rovers, and the amateur teams of southern England to win the FA Cup in 1883.

It was Hunter who decided to take the team to Blackpool for a few days' relaxation prior to the final, which had been unheard of previously. In the final (against Old Etonians played on 31 March 1883 at the Kennington Oval), Hunter played at centre half and marshalled the defence, who were able to keep the Old Etonians forwards at bay thus allowing the fitter Olympics side to come from behind to claim the cup with a 2–1 victory after extra time.

Hunter remained with Olympic until 1887, before joining Blackburn Rovers. After a short spell playing for Rovers, Hunter became assistant trainer and groundsman at Ewood Park, as well as working as a licensee in Blackburn.

From 1897 Hunter had a short spell as coach to Cheshire side New Brighton Tower, helping that team rise from the Lancashire League to a brief sojourn in the Football League.

He died of consumption on 9 April 1903.

Myron Macy Kinley was a pioneer in fighting oil well fires. He was born in Santa Barbara, California, in 1898 and died May 12, 1978.

During Kinley's life he developed many patents and designs for the tools and techniques of oil firefighting. He also trained others in their use, including legendary Red Adair, "Boots" Hansen and "Coots" Mathews (Boots & Coots). Virtually every organization in the oil well firefighting business today can trace its roots back to Myron Kinley and the MM Kinley Company.

Kinley's father Karl T. Kinley was an oil well shooter in California; Karl dynamited wells to fracture the rock and to increase flow. In 1913, faced with a roaring fire resulting from a blowout, Karl tried blowing it out with a giant "puff" of dynamite. It worked, and remains a common technique for fighting oil fires.

Young Kinley, who helped with the first shot, went on to develop the business of oil well firefighting, and essentially established the industry. Although it was lucrative, it had its risks. Kinley's right leg was permanently injured in late 1936 at the Bay City fire.

Kinley's brother, Floyd Kinley died March 12, 1938, from injuries at a Goliad, Texas, blowout accident, he was born November 28, 1904, in Bundrage, California.

Kinley was also severely burned in an accident in Venezuela in 1945. He survived many incidents and died at home in Chickasha, Oklahoma, on May 12, 1978.

Kinley's parents; Karl T. Kinley and Katherine Rose Scholl were married July 4, 1896, in Pasadena, California. As a baby, Kinley moved to Bakersfield in 1899. His sister Lucille was born in 1902; she lived in Ohio, California. Myron Kinley married Rowena May Hall in 1924. Kinley was later married to his second wife Jessie Dearing in 1958. In 1996, Jessie Kinley published the book Call Kinley about Myron Kinley's achievements.

Truck Dogs: A Novel in Four Bites is a children's adventure/science fiction novel by Australian author Graeme Base, who is famous for his large picture books such as Animalia. It was published in 2003 and nominated for a CBCA 2004 Book of the Year for younger readers. The novel is supposed to take place in the future, but the setting is ultimately a fantasy world based on a rural desert town (as in the Australian outback or the western United States). All of the characters are caricaturized, anthropomorphic dogs of various breeds, part biological and part machine. Their lower bodies are formed by the chassis and wheels of some kind of modern vehicle, often a truck. Reviewers have referred to the novel as a meeting of the Book of Revelation and Hell.

The story follows a young dog-vehicle who longs for adventure. He befriends a group of rebellious adolescent dog-vehicles (who are disliked by the citizens of the small town where they live) and an old loner mechanic. They have to choose where they stand when a renegade gang arrives and attempts to steal the town's precious gasoline resources and threatens harm.

The novel includes numerous color plates illustrated by Base picturing the characters and their individual make and model.
Base introduces the novel as if it had been told to him by his dog.

Origins
The author states that the main idea for the novel was derived from his childhood observations on the "animal intensity" of trucks and other fast-moving vehicles. During the writing process, the novel had many earlier incarnations, such as a prose picture book, a picture book in the form of a poem, and a screenplay.

Critical response
A La Trobe University review of the book is positivie overall, stating that it is entertaining with a straightforward storyline and linear plot. The DarkEcho review notes that, since none of the dog/vehicle hybrids or other inhabitants (truck bugs, truck sheep) have limbs, one wonders how they are able to perform the more delicate tasks of running a town.

The Milaflores Massacre is the name given to the shooting of three gangsters in retaliation for two murders and a kidnapping in the winter of 1927 in Detroit, Michigan. The crime was suspected to have been perpetrated by the Purple Gang.

Events
By the mid-1920s, the Purples had formed a working alliance with former members of the Egan's Rats gang, specifically Fred "Killer" Burke and Gus Winkler. These two, and a group of gangsters associated with them, were responsible for distributing Purple Gang booze and handling any strong-arm work that was needed. The trouble began on Christmas night, 1926, when saloon keeper Johnny Reid was shotgunned to death in the rear of his apartment building at 3025 East Grand Boulevard. Reid was an ex-Rat and liquor agent for the Purples. Earlier in the year, he and his St. Louis friends had gotten into a shooting war with Sicilian gangster Mike Dipisa. The ex-Rats defeated their opponent, but he was assumed to have arranged Reid's murder in revenge.

Johnny Reid's killer was assumed to have been Frank Wright, a Chicago-based jewel thief and all-around hood who had recently relocated to Detroit. Wright, along with two New York burglars, Joseph Bloom and George Cohen, began kidnapping local gamblers for ransom. Many of the people they snatched were connected with the Purple Gang. The foolhardy trio crossed the line when they gunned down Purple drug peddler Jake Weinberg in the North End on February 3, 1927. The Bernstein brothers hired Fred Burke and Gus Winkler to avenge their friend.

Frank Wright was lured into the open with the kidnapping of his friend Meyer "Fish" Bloomfield. Winkler telephoned Wright and told him he could re-acquire his friend in Apartment 308 of the Milaflores Apartments, located at 106 East Alexanderine Avenue. At 4:30 on the morning of March 28, 1927, Frankie Wright, Joseph Bloom, and George Cohen arrived at the Milaflores and knocked on the door of 308. As they did, the fire door at the end of the hallway opened, and three men opened fire with a concentrated volley of pistol and submachine gun fire. All three gangsters fell to the ground. The three triggermen escaped down the back stairway once their weapons were empty.

Bloom and Cohen were DOA (they had been so riddled with bullets the coroner could not tell how many times they had been shot.) Frank Wright was still alive despite fourteen bullet wounds. When asked if he saw the killers, he moaned, "The machine gun worked. That's all I can remember." Wright died of his wounds about twenty hours later. The shooting made multiple headlines in the local newspapers. It was the first time the Thompson submachine gun had been used in Detroit gang warfare. While searching Apt. 308, police found items implicating Purple gangsters Eddie Fletcher, Abe and Simon Axler, Joe "Honey Boy" Miller, and John Tolzdorf.

The day after the massacre, three Detroit police officers pulled over a car on Woodward Avenue and arrested Abe Axler and Fred Burke. While both men were suspected in the slaughter, neither was charged, nor was anyone else. The incident solidified the reputation of the Purple Gang in Detroit. It was believed at the time that Fred Burke had been the machine-gunner, assisted by Purple hitmen Abe Axler and Eddie Fletcher aka The Siamese Twins.

Beats and Styles is a Finnish pop/rock/rap group led by DJ Alimo and in the past also DJ Control, whose real name is Jaakko Manninen.  Beats and Styles sings in English and has collaborated with wide variety of artists, such as Michael Monroe, Papa Dee, Toni Wirtanen, Raymond Ebanks, Andy McCoy and Jutty Ranx.

History
The band was originally a duo, consisting of DJ Control (guitar, vocals) and DJ Alimo whose real name is Asmo Soivio (vocals). Alimo and Control started their career as DJs and club promoters. In 2000, they got their own club culture TV show on Helsinki local television. They became more and more interested in making music, and they made drum'n'bass music in solo and later Finnish language music under the name Alimo&Control. The Alimo&Control project's most famous song was "Tarkkaillaan", featuring Laura Närhi from Kemopetrol as the vocalist. In 2003, Alimo and Control released an album, This is... Beats and Styles, whose most famous songs were "Dynamite" and "Girls' Anthem".

In 2004, the duo released the album We're Not Ready Yet, whose most famous hit was "Renegades", sung by Michael Monroe and Alimo, as well as "Fire" and "Dance, Dance, Dance". In 2005, they released the album, Everything is Everything, whose most famous songs included "Invitation to the Dancefloor" and the title song "Everything is Everything", whose music video was shot in Prypiat near Chernobyl. Beats and Styles won a bronze award in the 2005 Muuvi music video competition and a special mention for productive and good quality video work. The group's music has been published in Sweden, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, France, Italy, United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia among other countries, but so far the duo has not achieved a true international breakthrough.

Beats and Styles released their fourth album Walk, Don't Talk on 14 February 2007. The album's first single was "Ocean Wave", featuring guest artist Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks. The video for "Ocean Wave" was shot in Fuerteventura and was directed by Kusti Manninen. The group also participated in the Finnish Eurovision Song Contest selection for the Finnish entry with their song "See the Signs", but got last place.

Soon after that Alimo stopped performing at the gigs and doesn't appear at all at the Beats and Styles album Schizosonics released on 16 September 2009. DJ Control said his departure was caused by musical differences: "Alimo didn't want to join the new album's pop vibes."

is a yaoi manga by Makoto Tateno and published by Ohzora Publishing. It has been published in English by Aurora Publishing and in German by Egmont Manga & Anime.

Reception
Adrienne Hess found both male characters in Hate to Love You stereotypical, but enjoyed the portrayal of Akiko, a "female love interest" of Yuma, as the couple's "cupid". She found the second story to be "slightly disturbing". Hess praised the artwork, especially the expressive faces. Katja Bürk, writing for animePRO, describes the manga as "Strong feelings can change and so there can easily be love from hate, or vice versa." Brigid Alverson feels that there is little similarity to Romeo and Juliet despite the feud between the families, and found Akiko, who unites the two families to be the "most likable" character. Alverson found the other story in the volume "rather creepy".  Alverson found Tateno's art 'rather flat' yet 'dynamic' in places.

The Pagoda of Bailin Temple ( or ), is located in Zhao County, Hebei. It is an octagonal-based brick Chinese pagoda built in 1330 during the reign of Emperor Wenzong, ruler of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty.

Bailin Monastery
The Bailin Monastery (Cypress Trees monastery,) surrounding the pagoda, was built in the second century CE, and called Guan Yin Monastery. Its most prominent abbot was the famous Chan master Zhaozhou (Joshu), who is well known for the Mu-koan.

The temple was in ruin long before 1949. In 1988, Jing Hui was persuaded to take over the Hebei Buddhist Association, and start rebuilding Bailin Monastery. Jing Hui is a student and dharma successor of Hsu Yun, but has also adopted the Humanistic Buddhism of Taixu.

Pagoda
The seven story pagoda stands at a height of about 40 m (131 ft), built on a stone foundation. The lower section of the pagoda is a brick sumeru pedestal, which features two rows of intricate carvings that include artwork of musicians, celestial guardians, animals, and peonies. The first story of this solid brick pagoda features a facade of doors and windows, as well as columns, rafters, and brackets. Above this are seven tiers of eaves.

The design style of this Yuan Dynasty era pagoda follows the tradition of the Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, which were Khitan and Jurchen dynasties that ruled northern China before Kublai Khan established the Yuan.
