 American football:
 Super Bowl XLII at Glendale, Arizona: New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14
 With a fierce defense led by defensive linemen Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck and a productive final drive fueled by wide receiver David Tyree, the Giants shock the heavily favored and previously unbeaten Patriots and become World Champions. After three quarters dominated by defensive play, New England goes ahead, 14–10, on a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Randy Moss with 2:42 left. The Giants reach striking range on a circus catch by the little-used Tyree, setting up the game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Eli Manning to a wide-open Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left in the game. Manning finishes 19-for-34 for 255 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Even though many observers consider Tuck to be more deserving, Manning is selected Most Valuable Player. With the upset, the 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only NFL team to complete a season undefeated from opening regular season game to the Super Bowl.
 With 97.5 million viewers, Super Bowl XLII is the most-watched Super Bowl in history, and the second-most watched television event in American television history.

The former First Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church building located at 8601 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Built in 1909, it was designed by architect Guy J. Vinton in the Late Gothic Revival style. It is now the Peoples Community Church. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1982.

History

The First Baptist Church of Detroit was founded on October 20, 1827. The first church constructed by the congregation, a small frame structure, was built at the corner of Fort and Griswold Streets in 1831. The frame structure was replaced with a spacious brick church in 1835. The congregation built larger structures in 1859-63 and 1871-75.

As members of the congregation moved outwards from downtown Detroit, the church followed, and in 1909 the church hired Guy J. Vinton  to design and construct this church on Woodward. However, after World War II, membership decreased, and in 1957 the congregation sold the building to the Peoples Community Church. The First Baptist congregation moved on to Southfield and constructed a new church in 1965.

Description
The former First Baptist Church of Detroit is a rockfaced, limestone, Gothic-style church  measuring 120 feet long by 110 feet wide. The front facade has a massive, Gothic-arched traceried window balanced with a large square flat-roofed corner tower containing the entryway. An educational wing is adjacent to the tower of similar design to the main church. The exterior of the church is notable for its lack of ornamentation, relying on its massive proportions for visual impact.

The interior of the church conforms to the Akron plan, with a large, square, barrel-vaulted central auditorium containing wooden pews arranged in a semi-circle. Notably, a broad, curving balcony  panelled with a Gothic arch motif completely encompasses the auditorium. The portion of the balcony over the sanctuary contains the choir loft and organ pipes. The transepts on both the main floor and balcony level are constructed to be used as either classrooms or, by opening partitions, overflow seating space.

Flora Solomon, OBE (née Benenson; 28 September 1895 – 18 July 1984) was an influential Zionist. The first woman hired to improve working conditions at Marks & Spencer in London, Solomon was later instrumental in the exposure of British spy Kim Philby. She was the mother of Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International. She described her "personal trinity" as "Russian soul, Jewish heart, British passport".

Early life
Flora Benenson was born on 28 September 1895 in Pinsk, in what is now Belarus. She was a daughter of Sophie Goldberg (1862–1926) and the Jewish Russian financier Grigori Benenson (1860–1939), who was related to the Rothschild family. She had three siblings: an older brother, Jacob, who died in a German concentration camp during the First World War, and two sisters--Fira Benenson (Countess Ilinska), who became a leading American dress designer, and Manya Harari, who became a noted translator of Russian literature. The family's fortune was based on gold and oil; they settled in Britain in 1914, and lost much of their wealth as a result of the Russian Revolution in 1917.

Career
In the 1930s, prior to World War II, Solomon helped find homes for refugee children who fled to London from continental Europe. During World War II she organised food distribution for the British government and was awarded the OBE for her work.

Marks and Spencer
Solomon is also remembered for improving employee conditions at Marks & Spencer stores in the UK.

In 1939, over dinner with Simon Marks, the son of a founder of Marks & Spencer, she complained to him about the company's salary policies. She learned that staff often did not eat lunch because they could not afford it. She said to Marks, "It's firms like Marks & Spencer that give Jews a bad name". Marks immediately gave Solomon the job of looking after staff welfare.

In her new position, she "pioneered the development of the staff welfare system" (including subsidised medical services). These practices directly influenced the Labour concept of the welfare state and the creation of the British National Health Service in 1948. As a result, Marks & Spencer acquired the reputation of the "working man's paradise".

Publishing
She founded Blackmore Press, a British printing house. Her life was described in her autobiography A Woman's Way, written in collaboration with Barnet Litvinoff and published in 1984 by Simon & Schuster. The work was also  titled Baku to Baker Street: The Memoirs of Flora Solomon.

Kim Philby
Solomon was a long-time friend of British intelligence officer Kim Philby. She introduced him to his second wife Aileen, whom she knew from her work as a store detective at Marks and Spencers. In 1937, while working in Spain as The Times correspondent on Franco's side of the Civil War, Philby proposed to Solomon that she might become a Soviet agent. His friend from Cambridge, Guy Burgess, was simultaneously trying to recruit her into MI6. But the Soviet resident in Paris, Ozolin-Haskin (code-name Pierre) rejected this as a provocation. Had both moves succeeded she would have become a double agent.

In 1962 when Philby was the correspondent of the London Observer in Beirut, she objected to the anti-Israeli tone of his articles. She related the details of the 1937 contact to Victor Rothschild, who had worked for MI5 during the Second World War. In August 1962, during a reception at the Weizmann Institute, Solomon told Rothschild that she thought that Tomás Harris and Philby were Soviet spies. She then went on to tell Rothschild that she suspected that Philby and Harris had been Soviet agents since the 1930s. "Those two were so close as to give me an intuitive feeling that Harris was more than a friend." Solomon was then interviewed by MI5 officers and recounted Philby's attempt to recruit her in 1937, after he told her he was "doing important work for peace" and that "you should be doing it too."

Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn had already told the CIA about Philby's work for the KGB up to 1949. Nicholas Elliott, a former MI6 colleague of Philby's in Beirut, confronted him. Prompted by Elliott's accusations, Philby confirmed the charges of espionage and described his intelligence activities on behalf of the Soviets. However, when Elliott asked him to sign a written statement, he hesitated and requested a delay in the interrogation. A week later he boarded a Soviet freighter the Dolmatova bound for Odessa, en route to Moscow, never to return.

Before Harris was interviewed by MI5, he was killed in a motor accident at Lluchmayor, Majorca. Some people have suggested that Harris was murdered. Chapman Pincher, the author of Their Trade is Treachery (1981), agrees that it is possible that Harris had been eliminated by the KGB: "The police could find nothing wrong with the car, which hit a tree, but Harris's wife, who survived the crash, could not explain why the vehicle had gone into a sudden slide. It is considered possible, albeit remotely, that the KGB might have wanted to silence Harris before he could talk to the British security authorities, as he was an expansive personality, when in the mood, and was outside British jurisdiction. The information, about which MI5 wanted to question him and would be approaching him in Majorca, could have leaked to the KGB from its source inside MI5." Pincher goes onto argue that the source was probably Roger Hollis, the director-general of MI5.

Personal life
Flora Benenson was married to Harold Solomon, (19 January 1886 - 31 July 1930) a member of a London stockbroking family and a career soldier who was a brigadier-general in the First World War. They had one child, Peter Benenson, who would become the founder of Amnesty International.

She was widowed in 1930 and raised Peter on her own.

Flora Solomon died on 18 July 1984 and was buried next to her late husband at the Cimetière Israélite de La Tour-de-Peilz, in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland. Her grave stone reads "where there is no vision, the people perish".

The front controller software design pattern is listed in several pattern catalogs and is related to the design of web applications. It is "a controller that handles all requests for a website," which is a useful structure for web application developers to achieve flexibility and reuse without code redundancy.

Instruction

Front controllers are often used in web applications to implement workflows. While not strictly required, it is much easier to control navigation across a set of related pages (for instance, multiple pages used in an online purchase) from a front controller than it is to assign individual pages responsibility for navigation.

The front controller may be implemented as a Java object, or as a script in a scripting language such as PHP, Raku, Python or Ruby that is called for every request of a web session. This script would handle all tasks that are common to the application or the framework, such as session handling, caching and input filtering. Based on the specific request, it would then instantiate further objects and call methods to handle the required tasks.

The alternative to a front controller is the usage of page controllers mapped to each site page or path. Although this may cause each individual controller to contain duplicate code, the page-controller approach delivers a high degree of specialization.

Examples
Several web-tier application frameworks implement the front controller pattern:
 Apache Struts
 ASP.NET MVC
 Cairngorm framework in Adobe Flex
 Cro or Bailador frameworks in Raku
 Drupal
 MVC frameworks written in PHP, such as Yii, CakePHP, Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter and Laminas
 Spring Framework
 Yesod, written in Haskell

Implementation
Front controllers may divided into three components:
 XML mapping: files that map requests to the class that will handle the request processing.
 Request processor: used for request processing and modifying or retrieving the appropriate model.
 Flow manager: determines what will be shown on the next page.

Participants and responsibilities

Java implementation example
The front controller implemented in Java code:private void doProcess(HttpServletRequest request,
                       HttpServletResponse response)
    throws IOException, ServletException {
    ...
    try {
        getRequestProcessor().processRequest(request);
        getScreenFlowManager().forwardToNextScreen(request, response);
    } catch (Throwable ex) {
        String className = ex.getClass().getName();
        nextScreen = getScreenFlowManager().getExceptionScreen(ex);
        // Put the exception in the request
        request.setAttribute("javax.servlet.jsp.jspException", ex);
        if (nextScreen == null) {
            // Send to general error screen
            ex.printStackTrace();
            throw new ServletException("MainServlet: unknown exception: " +
                className);
        }
    }

Benefits and liabilities
There are three primary benefits associated with the front controller pattern.
 Centralized control. The front controller handles all the requests to the web application. This implementation of centralized control that avoids using multiple controllers is desirable for enforcing application-wide policies such as user tracking and security.
 Thread safety. A new command object arises when receiving a new request, and the command objects are not meant to be thread-safe. Thus, it will be safe in the command classes. Though safety is not guaranteed when threading issues are gathered, code that interacts with commands is still thread-safe.
 Configurability. As only one front controller is employed in a web application, the application configuration may be greatly simplified. Because the handler shares the responsibility of dispatching, new commands may be added without changes needed to the code.
The front controller pattern may incur performance issues because the single controller is performing a great deal of work, and handlers may introduce bottlenecks if they involve database or document queries. The front controller approach is also more complex than that of page controllers.

Relationship with MVC
 In order to improve system reliability and maintainability, duplicate code should be avoided and centralized when it involves common logic used throughout the system.
 The data for the application is best handled in a single location, obviating the need for duplicate data-retrieval code.
 Different roles in the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern should be separated to increase testability, which is also true for the controller part in the MVC pattern.

Comparison
The page-controller pattern is an alternative to the front controller approach in the MVC model.

Luca Cereda (born September 7, 1981) is a Swiss former professional ice hockey forward. He was drafted in the first round, 24th overall, of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs. During his first training camp with the Leafs, Cereda was diagnosed with a heart murmur due to a defect in his aortic valve. Apart from exhibition games with the Leafs before the diagnosis, he never appeared in a National Hockey League (NHL) game. After his recovery from his heart surgery, he played in the Leafs' minor league team for a few years and returned to Switzerland in 2004 to play in the National League instead. He ended his playing career in 2008 due to heart problems and began coaching. In 2017, Cereda succeeded Gordie Dwyer to become the head coach of HC Ambrì-Piotta.

The Metropolitan United Methodist Church is a church located at 8000 Woodward Avenue (at Chandler) in the New Center area of Detroit, Michigan. It was completed in 1926, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1986. This church should not be confused with Metropolitan United Methodist Church in Washington, DC, which is often regarded as a National Church within the United States as it was specifically established by the General Conference to be a "representative presence of Methodism in the nation's capital".

History
In 1901, two Detroit Methodist congregations, the Woodward Avenue Methodist Episcopal (founded in 1885) and the Oakland Avenue Church (founded in 1886), merged to form the North Woodward Avenue Methodist Church. Two years later, Dr. Charles Bronson Allen became pastor and convinced the congregation to construct a building at Woodward and Melbourne which burned down on Christmas Eve 1916. The congregation decided to rebuild grander than ever. One of the congregants, Sebastian S. Kresge (who lived nearby in Boston-Edison), donated land at Woodward and Chandler for a new building as well as offering substantial financial support. Another congregant, William E. N. Hunter, designed the structure, however, shortages of building materials and labor caused by World War I delayed construction. The cornerstone was finally laid June 4, 1922, and the first services were held in the completed sanctuary January 17, 1926. By the mid-1930s, the congregation was the largest local church in the Methodist world. Church membership peaked in 1943 at 7,300 members.

Architecture
The church is a very large structure in the English Gothic style, built from a distinctive ochre granite from Massachusetts. It is built in a traditional cruciform design buttressed with several low side wings and a gabled roof. The sanctuary occupies the western half of the building while the eastern half contains an auditorium, offices and classrooms. A hallway on the main level separates the sanctuary from the auditorium. The walls of both spaces retract allowing up seating for up to 7,000 with a view of the chancel.

One curious feature, when viewing the building from the exterior, is that the lower half of the chancel window is filled with stone rather than glass. This is to allow for display of a large tapestry on the church's interior.

The church is painted throughout by the artist George Boget. Three murals on the second floor crush hall depict scenes from the history of Protestantism and Methodism. They are entitled "The Dawn of Reformation," "John Wesley Preaching on His Father's Tomb," and "Francis Asbury, Apostle of the Long Trail." A winding tree motif ties these murals together with smaller symbolic imagery painted into the vaulted ceilings on the first and second floor corridors, as well as large murals in Kresge Hall, the auditorium. These murals show smaller scenes of Methodist and Metropolitan History tied into the "family tree" that binds the congregation together.

In 1970, Stanley and Dorothy Kresge donated $194,000 for the Merton S. Rice Memorial Organ, named for the former pastor. They contributed an additional $10,000 for structural modifications to house the pipe chambers. The organ is opus 10641 of the M. P. Moller Organ Company. The organ incorporated some pipes from an earlier instrument by Austin Organs, Inc. and at installation, contained 6,849 pipes in 119 ranks. In subsequent years, it has been enlarged to 7,003 pipes and 121 ranks, making it the second largest pipe organ in the state of Michigan.

La Boissière-en-Gâtine is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.

History
There used to be a commandery of the Knights Templar, which later passed to the Hospitallers, hence the name L'Hôpiteau de la Boissière-en-Gâtine.
Maison du Temple de La Boissière-en-Gâtine

La Boissiére-en-Gatine is in the canton of Maziéres en
Gatine but in fact geographically speaking it is nearer to
Allonne.

St Martin's church, which was restored in the 18th
century, is a Romanesque building. The door dates from
the 11th century. The bell tower was built in the 17th
century. The church has been on the list of historical
monuments since 1929.

During the revolution, Louis-Hercule Terrasson, the local
priest, swore allegiance to the Constitution. He was
attacked by the Vendéens who did not accept his
republican opinions. He defended himself and managed to
fight them off. Later he abandoned his parish and fled to
Champdeniers. However, he regretted having resigned
and took up his functions again. He was still priest in La
Boissiére in 1798.

La Boissiére is the home of the Maison Noble (mansion
house) of Puy Robin and there was, at one time, a
commandery which later belonged to the charitable order
of Jerusalem.

Situated between Puymonnier and la Roche-Marot this
place was, according to local legends, the meeting place
for little elves called “Farfadet” During an evening party a
shepherdess crushed the Farfadet's big toe with her
spindle because he was getting on her nerves.
The Fadets are wild and very hairy. They like rocky places where they live in community. Apart from their hairiness, you can recognize the Fadets by their thick unbleached woolen panties. There are Madames Fadets, the Fadettes, they are just as grumpy as their gruff husbands but still prettier. Their number has steadily decreased over the centuries. Nowadays, they are few and very difficult to observe.

Administration

Maire de La Boissière-en-Gâtine (79)

Demographics
From the 21st century, the actual censuses of municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants take place every five years. For La Boissière-en-Gâtine, this corresponds to 2004, 2009, 2014, etc. The other “census” dates (2006, 2009, etc.) are legal estimates.

Economy
The village has an economic activity based on agriculture, especially livestock. The main employer in the commune is the company Boye Accouvage, which employs about a hundred people.

Places and monuments
The Church of Saint-Martin is classified as an historical monument from the 12th century.

The Reggio revolt occurred in Reggio Calabria, Italy, from July 1970 to February 1971. The cause of the protests was a government decision to make Catanzaro, not Reggio, regional capital of Calabria. The nomination of a regional capital was the result of a decentralization programme of the Italian government, under which 15 governmental regions were concretized and given their own administrative councils and a measure of local autonomy.

Background

Protest in Reggio Calabria exploded in July 1970 when the much smaller town of Catanzaro (with a population of 82,000 against 160,000 in Reggio) was chosen as the regional capital of Calabria. The people of Reggio blamed their rivals' success to "the Red Barons" in Rome, a group of influential centre-left Calabrian politicians from Cosenza and Catanzaro, including Deputy Prime Minister Giacomo Mancini.

On July 14, a general strike was called and five days of street fighting left one dead and several policemen injured. A force of 5,000 armed police and Carabinieri agents was moved into the area. The national government ordered state-owned RAI TV not to report on the insurrection. Nevertheless, the revolt steadily picked up steam and sympathy.

Drawn out road and railway blockades damaged the entire country. Strikes, barricades and wrecked railway tracks forced trains from the north of Italy to halt two hours short of Reggio. Italy's main north-south highway, the Autostrada del Sole (Highway of the Sun), was closed off. When the port of Reggio was blocked, hundreds of lorries and railroad freight cars were forced to remain on the other side of the Straits of Messina.

Neo-fascists taking over
The revolt was taken over by young neo-fascists of the Italian Social Movement (Movimento Sociale Italiano, MSI) allegedly backed by the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type criminal organisation based in Calabria, the De Stefano 'ndrina in particular. Francesco Franco, a trade union leader from the National Italian Workers' Union (CISNAL) close to the neo-fascist movement became the informal leader of the rebel Action Committee and of the revolt. "Boia chi molla"  (Death to him who gives up) was the right-wing rallying cry during the revolt. Most of the Italian press labeled the demonstrators fascists and hooligans against the center‐left Government in Rome, but according to Time the revolt cut across class barriers, quoting Reggio's mayor at the time, Pietro Battaglia, who declared that it was a "citizens' revolt".

The 'Ndrangheta was ready to support the subversive forces. Party and union headquarters were bombed, as well as the cars of politicians accused of treason and shops because they did not join the strikes.

In the period from July–September 1970, there were 19 days of general strikes, 32 road blocks, 12 bomb attacks, 14 occupations of the railway station and two of the post office, as well as the airport and the local TV station. The local prefecture was assaulted six times and the police headquarters four times; 426 people were charged with public order offences. By their own admission, many of the urban-guerilla style actions during the revolt were coordinated and led by members of National Vanguard.

On 17 September 1970 Franco was arrested along with other leaders of the revolt on charges of incitement in a police sweep that targeted some 100 people. The news about the arrest provoked violent reactions, in particular in the dilapidated Sbarre suburb. Two armories were stormed and about five hundred people attacked the police station. At least 6,000 police men were deployed from many parts of Italy to try to stop the violence. Franco was released on 23 December 1970.

After three police officers were shot and wounded in October 1970, Prime Minister Emilio Colombo decided to tackle the conflict. Colombo warned that the Government would resort to force to restore order if necessary. Some 4,500 soldiers were sent to Reggio Calabria; it was the Italian Army's first assignment to crush civil disorder in 25 years. The decision on the location of Calabria's government was declared "provisional" and an assurance was given that the issue would be discussed in the Italian parliament for a final decision. Tensions subsided for a while, but new protests and violence broke out in January 1971 when the Parliament  decided that the regional assembly had to designate the capital of Calabria.

Gioia Tauro train attack
On July 22, 1970, a train derailed near the Gioia Tauro train station in Calabria, killing six people. At the time, Italian authorities suspected that a bomb had caused the crash and sent troops to guard Calabrian railways. In 1993 Giacomo Lauro, a former member of the 'Ndrangheta, said that he had supplied the explosives used in the bombing to people linked to the leaders of the revolt. In the 1990s Judge Guido Salvini attributed the attack to National Vanguard.  In February 2001 a court in Palmi, Calabria found that Vito Silverini, Vincenzo Caracciolo, and Giuseppe Scarcella (all deceased at the time) had planted the bomb.

End of the conflict

On 31 January 1971, four leaders of the rebel Action Committee were arrested on charges for instigating violence. Francesco Franco was able to escape arrest initially, but was arrested on 5 June 1971, after a scuffle at a neo-fascist party rally in Rome. In February 1971, journalist Oriana Fallaci had been able to interview the fugitive Franco for L'Europeo. He  explained that many potentially leftist youths "today are fascists simply because they believe that the battle of Reggio is interpreted fairly only by the fascists."

On 23 February 1971 armored cars entered the Sbarre neighbourhood, where a short-lived Central Sbarre Republic (Repubblica di Sbarre Centrali) had been proclaimed, and finally suppressed the revolt. According to official figures of the Italian Ministry of the Interior there were 3 dead, and 190 policemen and 37 civilians wounded. Other sources mention 5 dead and hundreds of wounded.

The so-called Colombo Package (named after then Prime minister Emilio Colombo) offering to build the Fifth Steelwork Centre in Reggio including a railroad stump and the port in Gioia Tauro, an investment of 3 billion lire which would create 10,000 jobs, softened the people of Reggio and helped to quell the revolt. The issue of Calabria's capital was resolved by a Solomonic decision: Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria became Calabria's joint regional capitals, Catanzaro as the seat of the regional administration and Reggio Calabria as the seat of the regional parliament.

The revolt defies any attempt to schematic classification. Issues of employment (the capital meant safe jobs in an economically depressed city) and local pride intermingled; it was mainly a matter of identity. The revolt ended up by being taken over by neo-fascists (relevant was also the role of the militant neo-fascist movement National Vanguard) and led to unexpected electoral fortunes for the Italian Social Movement at the Italian general election in May 1972, when Franco was elected senator. The neo-fascists benefitted, because the Christian Democrats were divided, while the city was one of its fiefdoms, and the Italian Communist Party (PCI) supported the suppression of the riots.

Aftermath
In October 1972, the main left wing labour unions led by the Italian General Confederation of Labour organized a conference in Reggio to regain their influence. Twenty trains were chartered to bring workers from northern and central Italy. On one of the trains full of workers and trade unionists a bomb exploded leaving five injured. Two other bombs burst on the rails in the vicinity of Lamezia Terme, while other unexploded bombs were found along the same railway line. Despite the attacks, many did reach Reggio to attend the conference and street march. Franco was investigated for distributing leaflets hostile to the anti-fascist demonstration. Subsequent judicial investigations of charges of provocation and terrorism ended with his acquittal.

The steelworks was never built, but a conflict between different 'Ndrangheta groups over the spoils of public construction contracts to built a railroad stump, the steelwork center, and the port in Gioia Tauro, led to the First 'Ndrangheta war.

The St. John's Christian Methodist Episcopal Church is a church located in Detroit, Michigan. It was built as the North Woodward Congregational Church, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1998.

History
The North Woodward Congregational Church was built in stages, with a small chapel, designed by the firm of Malcomson and Higginbotham, on the site of the present church constructed as early as 1907. The construction of the main sanctuary began in 1911 and was completed in 1912. Sections were added, with the most recent, the church house, being added in 1929. By the 1950s, the congregation had substantially moved out of Detroit, and the building was sold to the St. John's Christian Methodist Episcopal Church congregation. This congregation had been organized on July 8, 1917, as St. John's Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. A State of Michigan historical marker commemorates this church. The official denominational name was changed from "Colored" to "Christian" in 1954. St. John's Christian Methodist Episcopal Church was the first C.M.E. church established in the state of Michigan and, as of 2009, it remains the largest and most recognized Christian Methodist congregation in the state. The Reverend Dr. Joseph B. Gordon, a native Detroiter, was appointed as pastor in 2008.  In August 2014, Rev. Dr. Claude Bass became the church's pastor. In August 2018, Rev. A Richard Doss became the church's pastor.

Building
The architect retained by the Congregationalists was Hugh Clement. He designed a Gothic red brick church with limestone trim, having Prairie and Arts & Crafts influences. The building is lower than many Gothic churches, as it lacks a bell tower or lantern. The historical site also includes nine associated row houses along Gladstone Avenue.

The 1838 New York gubernatorial election was held from November 5 to 7, 1838, to elect the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

The issues of slavery and abolition were among the topics of the campaigns. Abolitionists asked the candidates for both positions their stands on the following issues:
1) "the right of blacks to a jury trial when seized as fugitive slaves;
2) a law freeing slaves-in-transit the moment they were brought into the state by their masters; and
3) equal suffrage for blacks."

Incumbent Democrat William Marcy and his running mate were described as doughfaces, not supporting the abolitionist proposals. During the campaign, Seward said that he did not support the latter two proposals, noting that a change to suffrage required a constitutional amendment to be changed. Abolitionists endorsed Luther Bradish, the Whig candidate for lieutenant governor, who supported all three, and some activists recommended voting against Seward.

But he and Bradish defeated the Democratic candidates. After election, Seward demonstrated considerable support for African Americans, signing legislation during his two terms to guarantee jury trials to alleged fugitive slaves, to repeal the nine-month allowance for slaveholders bringing slaves into the state, to give state support to efforts to gain freedom for free blacks kidnapped and sold into slavery, and establish public education for all children.

Candidates
The Whig Party nominated former state senator and 1834 gubernatorial nominee William H. Seward. They nominated state assemblyman Luther Bradish for Lieutenant Governor.

The Democratic Party nominated incumbent Governor William L. Marcy. They nominated the incumbent John Tracy for Lieutenant Governor.

Results
The Whig ticket of Seward and Bradish was elected.

The 1846 New York state election was held on November 3, 1846, to elect the governor, the lieutenant governor and two Canal Commissioners, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly and eight members of the New York State Senate.

History
At the Whig state convention, Young was nominated for governor on the third ballot with 76 votes against 45 for Millard Fillmore who had been the unsuccessful Whig candidate at the previous gubernatorial election in 1844.

Results
The Democratic and the Whig parties being of almost equal strength at the time, the cross-endorsed Anti-Rent ticket was elected. The incumbent governor Wright was defeated. The incumbent lieutenant governor Gardiner was re-elected.

At the same time, the voters adopted the New York State Constitution of 1846, so that the elected Canal Commissioners could not take office for their elected term. Both Hudson and Clowes eventually took office by appointment to fill vacancies.

Five Whigs and three Democrats were elected for the session of 1847 to the New York State Senate. Under the Constitution of 1821, every year 8 of the 32 senators were elected to a four-year term. These 8 now elected, and the 24 remaining state senators, were legislated out of office by the Constitution of 1846, their term ending on December 31, 1847.

72 Whigs and 56 Democrats were elected to the New York State Assembly of the 70th New York State Legislature, of whom 6 Whigs and 4 Democrats were elected with Anti-Rent endorsement.

Obs.: The number of votes is the total of Whig and Anti-Rent votes for Young and Clowes, the total of Democratic and Anti-Rent votes for Gardiner and Hudson, and the total of Liberty and National Reform votes for Bradley and Chaplin.

Cherveux () is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.

Origins
Prehistoric period : Flint tools (bifaces-knife-scraper-ax-tips of arrows) buried in the plain testify that the place was inhabited during prehistoric times.

Roman period : Some vestiges attest that the Romans occupied some places

The name of Cherveux : is of Celtic origin, which would indicate that the area originated at a very ancient date. This village was first known under the name of Carvium in 1100, then, a century later as Cherveox and Cheveras until the fifteenth century.  It then became Cherveaux, then, by 1603, Chevreoux and later, Cherveus. It was then called St. Pierre of Cherveux into the 18th century before being simply Cherveux. Its name came from hemp (in "local patois":  or ).  Since this plant was very abundant in this region, many people made their living as weavers and manufacturer of rope).

Cherveux probably owes its existence to a monastery that was settled close to the "motte féodale" that was later to become the powerful fortress of the Lusignans. Monks that lived in it were driven out during the wars that ravaged the Poitou. The monastery has been destroyed and on the site now stands a church that rises on the remains of the ancient monastery, known as St-Pierre's de Poitiers cathedral.  Stones that have been found in the church graveyard are shaped like those of Civaux and Nanteuil. In a stable of the castle farm, there is a window that leads to the ruins of the ancient monastery.

Some places around Cherveux called Maurie and the Raberie (spelled before Araberie) remind us of the passage of the Maure and the Arabian.

History
The castle is situated on the site of the original fortress built by the Lusignans: no doubt about its ancient origin since it is told that the "Fairy Melusine" was its ancestor.

In the Middle Ages, the Lusignan family became powerful, allowing one of its branches to ascend to the throne of Cyprus and Jerusalem at the beginning of the thirteenth century.

Hugues XI de Lusignan fell out with St. Louis IX, who seized Cherveux in 1242 and gave it to his brother Alphonse, Count of Poitiers. Hugues proved his allegiance to the king by accompanying him on the Seventh Crusade and died in a battle just after arriving in Egypt in 1249.

The castle was given back to Hugues' descendants, and then it passed into the hands of the Mello family, then the Craon family and finally to that of Chalon. The English then took it during the reign of King Edward III of England in 1363 and was given to William of Felton, the Senechal of Poitou. After the conquest of the province by Duguesclin, Cherveux was returned to the Chalon family whence it passed to the Tremoille line that in turn sold it in 1457 to Armaury d'Etissac, Lord of Coulonges Les Royaux who yielded it to Jean de Naydes who in his turn sold it to the Chenin family.

Their daughter Louise Chenin married Robert Conningham in May 1440. Of Scottish origin, captain of the bodyguard of King Louis XI of France, Conningham (or Conygham) had the means to erect the whole of the present Cherveux Castle in one single effort about 1470.

The Scots and the French were bound together by the Auld Alliance. The Scots Guard - Garde Écossaise - was founded in 1418 by King Charles VII of France. The Scots soldiers of the Garde Écossaise fought alongside Joan of Arc against England during the Hundred Years' War. In March 1421, a Franco-Scots force under John Stewart, Earl of Buchan, and Gilbert Motier de La Fayette defeated a larger English Army at the Battle of Baugé. Three years later, at the Battle of Verneuil, the Scots lost around 6,000 men, including John Stewart. The Garde Écossaise was seen as an elite military unit. King Louis XI of France had The Scots Guard act as personal bodyguards to the French monarchy. In return for service, Scottish soldiers were often granted honorable positions and lands in France.

Later, the castle was passed via successive marriages to the Puyguion and St. Gelais families. Although it was a principal, formidable stronghold, it was, nevertheless, taken in 1569 by the Marquis of Lude who installed a garrison of swordsmen and then again in 1574 by the Duc of Montpensier.

Until the eighteenth century, it was held by the Plessis-Chatillon family which was succeeded by the Narbonne-Pelet family.

The castle was confiscated by the state and sold three years after the French Revolution to Pierre Aloneau. The descendants of Aloneau (the family Clouzot Meynier) preserved it until 1931 and sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Redien Lucien, whose family has restored and preserved the castle and farmed the land since 1912.  The castle was listed as a ''monument historique' on 16 September 1929.

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, now known as St. Matthew's-St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, is a historic Episcopal church located at 8850 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, and is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

History
This building was constructed in 1926 as a successor to the earlier St. Joseph's Episcopal Church at 5930 Woodward Avenue. In 1971, St. Matthew's Episcopal, the second oldest African American congregation in Detroit, merged with St. Joseph's.

Building
The church building is a typical Gothic structure built from dark coursed sandstone with light sandstone trim. It has a narrow gabled nave and projecting side aisles and projecting transepts. A large rose window faces Woodward, sitting above a recessed entrance. A tall, square bell tower and parish house sit against the north transept. The sides are buttressed, with Gothic clerestory windows.

The architect, James J. Nettleton, was a member of the St. Joseph's congregation and graduate of the architecture program at Cornell University.
