WNWF (1470 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Evergreen, Alabama, United States. The station, established in 1957, is currently owned by John G. Ralls, Jr., through licensee Andala Enterprises, Inc.

Programming
WNWF is currently broadcasting a news/talk format.

History
This station began broadcast operations on July 1, 1957, as 1,000-watt daytime-only AM station broadcasting at 1470 kHz. Licensed to Evergreen Broadcasting Corporation by the Federal Communications Commission to serve the community of Evergreen, Alabama, the new station was assigned the call letters WBLO. Evergreen Broadcasting Corporation was wholly owned by Clayton W. Mapoles. Ownership of WBLO changed to Haskew Radio Inc. in April 1962. Haskew Radio Inc. was owned 50/50 by George B. Haskew and Carl E. Jones.

WBLO was purchased in late 1969 by the Vogel-Moody Corporation, a division of Vogel Communications, for a reported sale price of $30,000. More than a decade of continuous ownership by the Vogel-Moody Corporation ended in March 1982 when Vogel Communications reached an agreement to sell this station to Stafford Broadcasting, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on May 6, 1982. The new owners had the station's callsign changed from WBLO to WEGN on August 2, 1982.

In December 1983, Stafford Broadcasting, Inc., contracted to sell WEGN to Davis Broadcasting, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 14, 1984, and the transaction was consummated on February 29, 1984. Davis Broadcasting encountered financial difficulties and the station fell into receivership in late 1986. The FCC accepted the application to name Wayne Stafford as receiver and transfer the station's broadcast license to him. The transfer was approved by the FCC on October 22, 1986. On October 28, 1986, receiver Wayne Stafford signed an agreement to sell WEGN to Wolff Broadcasting Corporation. The deal was approved by the FCC on December 10, 1986, and the transaction was consummated on December 31, 1986. After a transition period, the new owners applied for new call letters and the station was assigned WIJK on May 10, 1988.

More than a dozen years after acquiring it, Wolff Broadcasting Corp., reached an agreement to sell this station and its FM sister station to Gulf Broadcasting Company, Inc., in February 1999 for a reported combined sale price of $1.5 million. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 13, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on May 10, 1999. In June 2002, the station flipped to a sports talk format during the week and on Saturday with a black Gospel music format on Sundays.

In November 2003, Gulf Broadcasting Company, Inc. (R. Lee Hagan, president) made a deal to sell this station to Star Broadcasting, Inc. (Ronald E. Hale, Jr., president) as part of a two-station deal valued at $2.75 million. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 13, 2004, and the transaction was consummated more than a year later on April 18, 2005. At the time the sale was announced, WIJK broadcast a Gospel music format. WIJK licensee Star Broadcasting, Inc., faced severe financial issues and an application was filed in December 2005 to involuntarily transfer the broadcast license to Star Broadcasting, Inc., Debtor-In-Possession. The transfer was approved by the FCC on January 11, 2006.

The station was assigned call sign WPGG on July 18, 2006. The callsign complemented a format change to country music as the "Power Pig". In mid-2008, WPGG's FM sister station became WPPG and adopted both the country music programming and the "Power Pig" branding. This precipitated the AM station's flip to a syndicated talk radio format including hosts Jerry Doyle, Michael Savage, Rusty Humphries, and Phil Hendrie.

On November 11, 2010, license holder Star Broadcasting, Inc., filed an application with the FCC to transfer control of the station's broadcast license to Omni Broadcasting, LLC. Both the original corporation and successor limited liability company are owned 20% by Jennifer F. Hale, 40% by Ronald E. Hale, Jr., and 40% by James F. Hale. The FCC approved the transaction on November 23, 2010, and the transaction was consummated on November 29, 2010.

The station was assigned the WEVG call letters on July 12, 2011. The call sign change was made to eliminate confusion with WPPG (101.1 FM) in nearby Repton, Alabama.

On October 16, 2012, WEVG went silent and returned to the air on October 25, 2012 with an adult standards format. On February 26, 2013, Omni Broadcasting, LLC filed for a Silent STA for WEVG due to flood damage. WEVG changed its call sign to WPNS on July 25, 2016.

According to their Facebook page, this station came back on sometime between October and December 2016 and is now doing Urban Gospel.

In July 2016, this station changed owners. Omni Broadcasting donated this station to Andala Enterprises, a transaction that was consummated on September 23, 2016.

The station filed a Silent STA in January 2017, citing the poor economic conditions in Evergreen.  (Taken from Alabama Broadcast Media Page)

A format change is scheduled to occur, on March 1, 2017. (Taken from their Facebook Page)

The station appears to have returned to the air in the early winter of 2017, with a format change pending to news/talk programming. (Taken from Alabama Broadcast Media Page)

The flip to talk occurred on March 1, 2017.  (Info extracted from their Facebook Page)

On December 21, 2018, the station swapped call signs with Florida-based station WNWF.

Ernst Marno (13 January 1844, Vienna – 31 August 1883, Khartoum) was an Austrian explorer in East Africa. He traveled extensively through the Blue Nile area and the Sudanese-Ethiopian borderland, as well as Kordofan and southern Sudan. His experiences were narrated in two books, which provide information about the Nilo-Saharan populations of the area before the colonial occupation of Sudan by the British Empire.

He himself married a Dinka, who had converted to Catholicism. From 1878 on, Marno was based in Fashoda as an officer at the service of Egypt and later he was appointed governor of the Sudanese cities of Famaka and Fazogli. During his stay in Sudan he met other European explorers, like Romolo Gessi and Juan Maria Schuver. He died in Khartoum of illness.

Alice Stebbins Wells (June 13, 1873 – August 17, 1957) was one of the first American-born female police officers in the United States, hired in 1910 in Los Angeles.

Career

Early career
Alice was a graduate of Oberlin College and Hartford Theological Seminary, where a study she conducted concluded there was a large need for woman officers. She also previously served as a minister in Kansas and a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Wells joined the Los Angeles Police Department after  a long battle of petitioning with many citizens who supported her or that she persuaded. With such a huge community reaction the mayor, police commissioner, and the Los Angeles city council had no other excuse but to let Alice become the first policewoman in the LAPD and was classified under civil service. Wells went on to become the founder and first president of the International Policewomen's Association and traveled throughout America and Canada to promote female officers.

Since 1891, law enforcement agencies had employed women only for the care of female prisoners. After Wells successfully petitioned for a place on the LAPD and was sworn in on September 12, 1910, she was hired and equipped with a telephone call box key, a police rule book and first aid book, and the "Policewoman's Badge Number One". Wells was responsible for hand sewing her own police uniform, which was the first police woman's uniform in the United States. It was a floor-length dress and jacket, khaki in color. A reproduction of this very outfit is on display at The Los Angeles Police Historical Society Museum.  Wells was assigned to work with the LAPD's first juvenile officer, and was quickly the subject of an order issued by the force that ruled that young women could now only be questioned by female police officers. Wells began her career supervising skating rinks and dance halls, as well as interacting with female members of the public.  In addition, although Wells was a sworn officer she was not entitled to carry a gun, unlike male officers.  Two years after Wells joined the force, two other female officers were sworn in, with all female officers now under the control of the Civil Service. Sixteen other cities and several foreign countries hired female police officers as a direct result of Wells' activities by 1915, when Wells created the International Policewomen's Association. Nine years after Wells was hired, the LAPD had hired four other white policewomen, and swore in Georgia Ann Robinson, the first African American policewoman hired by the LAPD. Wells always advocated for more women officers to help youth in need and women who might not feel comfort in speaking to policemen. Wells also founded, and was the president of, the Los Angeles Social Hygiene Society where she supported sex education in the city of Los Angeles.

Contribution to modern female policing
Due to Wells's advocacy for women's and children's rights, more women were recruited after the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 to undertake community policing assignments. This is due in part because policewomen were thought to be better at defusing potentially violent situations than policemen.

Nationwide publicity and retirement

The appointment of Wells attracted nationwide attention. In 1914, she was the subject of a biographical film entitled The Policewoman. The University of California created the first course dedicated to the work of female police officers in 1918, and Wells was made the first president of the Women's Peace Officers Association of California in 1928. In 1934 she was also made the LAPD historian, and by 1937 there were 39 female officers in the LAPD, and five reserves. Wells remained the department's historian until she retired on November 1, 1940. She is remembered for having "fought for the idea that women, as regular members of municipal police departments, are particularly well-qualified to perform protective and preventative work among juveniles and female criminals." Wells died in 1957, and her funeral was attended by high-ranking officers from the LAPD, and a ten-woman honor guard.

Personal life
She was married to a Wisconsin farmer named Frank Wells and a mother of three, Ramona, Raymond, and Gardner Wells.

Cecil James "Jimmy" Gilbert (15 May 1923 – 7 July 2016) was a Scottish television producer, director and executive for the BBC.

Early life
Gilbert was born in Edinburgh in May 1923 and educated at Edinburgh Academy, Edinburgh University and RADA. He served as a pilot with RAF Coastal Command during World War II, flying Handley Page Halifax and Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft from RAF Wick, Scotland.

Career
As the co-devisor of The Frost Report, with David Frost, it was Gilbert who brought together Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett, as well as most of the members of Monty Python. With the first director of The Two Ronnies, Terry Hughes, Gilbert created the format of the series which began in 1971. According to the Daily Telegraph obituary of Gilbert, the two men "were largely responsible for establishing the pattern of the show with its quick-fire verbal gags, double entendres and cavalcade of naive caricatures of British life: bumbling colonels, half-witted yokels and bosomy barmaids". The series ran until 1986. In addition to The Two Ronnies, Gilbert was an early producer of Last of the Summer Wine (1973), plus the first series of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? (also 1973). For the last series, Gilbert won a BAFTA in 1974 for Best Comedy, and was also nominated that year for Last of the Summer Wine in the category.

He succeeded Michael Mills as the BBC's Head of Comedy from 1973–1977. Gilbert was appointed as the BBC's Head of Light Entertainment in 1977, in succession to Bill Cotton, remaining in the post and with the BBC until 1982. Subsequently, he worked as a freelance.

In 2003, Gilbert appeared on the documentary special 30 Years of Last of the Summer Wine to discuss his role in helping to create the series.

Ignace-Gaston Pardies (5 September 1636 – 21 April 1673) was a French Catholic Jesuit priest and scientist.

Career
Pardies was born in Pau, France, the son of an advisor at the local assembly. He entered the Society of Jesus on 17 November 1652 and for a time taught classical literature; during this period he composed a number of short Latin works, in prose and verse. After his ordination, he taught philosophy and mathematics at the Collège de Clermont  in Paris, which would eventually become the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. His earliest scientific work is the Horologium Thaumanticum Duplex (Paris, 1662), in which is described an instrument he had invented for constructing various kinds of sundials. Three years later appeared his Dissertatio de Motu et Natura Cometarum, published separately in Latin and in French (Bordeaux, 1665). His La Statique (Paris, 1673) argued that Galileo's theory was not exact. This, along with Discours du mouvement local (Paris, 1670), and the manuscript Traité complet d'Optique, in which he followed the undulatory theory of light (which identifies it as a harmonic vibration), form part of a general work on physics which he had planned. Traité complet d'Optique had been studied by Pierre Ango (1640–1694) a confrere of Pardies for his Book L`Optique which he published in 1682 after Pardies early death. The Manuscript has also been mentioned by Christiaan Huygens in his Treatise on Light. Huygens himself mentioned in 1668 that it has been Pardies' Theory that the speed of light is finite.

He initially opposed Isaac Newton's theory of refraction and his letters together with Newton's replies (which so satisfied Pardies that he withdrew his objections) are found in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society for 1672 and 1673. A proponent of mechanism, his Discours de la Connaissance des Bestes (Paris, 1672) combated Descartes's views on animals, but did so very weakly, which led many to view it as a covert defence rather than a refutation, an impression which Pardies himself afterwards endeavoured to destroy. His Elémens de géométrie (Paris, 1671) was translated into Latin and English. He left in manuscript a work entitled Art de la Guerre and a celestial atlas comprising six charts, published after his death (Paris, 1673–74). His collected mathematical and physical works were published in French (The Hague, 1691) and in Latin (Amsterdam, 1694). He was a member of the academy of anatomist Pierre Michon Bourdelot.

In 1674, Pardies published the star atlas Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio in Paris. The atlas was partially based on the work of another French Jesuit scientist Thomas Gouye. The atlas was engraved by G. Vallet and dedicated to Johan Friedrich, Duke of Braunschweig-Luneburg. The constellation figures are drawn from Uranometria, but they were carefully reworked and adapted to a broader view of the sky. In 1693, a newer edition was published and in 1700 another edition appeared. They include new information, such as the paths of comets observed since 1674. The atlas uses gnomonic projection so that the plates make up a cube of the universe. The atlas served as a model for the star charts of William Rutter Dawes published in 1844. Pardies died of fever contracted whilst ministering to the prisoners of Bicêtre Hospital, near Paris.

In 1690, the Elémens was translated into Manchu for the Emperor Kangxi under the title Gi ho yuwan ben bithe.

The Freedom Aviation Phoenix was a single-engine four-seat American airplane that was sold as a homebuilt composite canard aircraft.

The kit was produced at a facility on St. Lucie County International Airport at Ft. Pierce, Florida.

Design and development
The Phoenix airframe was formed of carbon-fiber composite materials on factory molds.  The aircraft was assembled as a homebuilt, with a factory-sponsored builder-assist program available.

The aircraft has a swept, dihedral canard mounted ahead of the cabin, and a swept main lifting surface. Each wing has a fin (with full-length rudder) mounted about midway to the tip. In addition, the wingtips have swept winglets, which provide additional yaw stability while decreasing induced drag.

The Phoenix is powered by a six-cylinder horizontally-opposed piston engine driving a pusher propeller. The tricycle landing gear is retractable.

Only one aircraft was ever built, and the company has since gone out of business.

Tägerschen is a village and former municipality in the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland.

The municipality also contained the villages Karlishub and Thürn.

In 1999 the municipality was merged with the neighboring municipality Tobel to form a new and larger municipality Tobel-Tägerschen.

History
The village was first recorded in year 762 as Tegarascha.

In the 8th and 9th century much of the village was acquired by the Abbey of St. Gallen. The court rights were originally held by the Counts of Toggenburg through their servants, the Heitnau family. These rights transferred in 1258 to the Knights Hospitaller Commandry of Tobel. These rights gradually expanded until 1500, by which time they had complete manor and court rights. The only exceptions was a house that had been granted freedom from local lords in 1547. The ownership of this house changed often in the following centuries. Between 1798 and 1871 this house served as the headquarters of the district governor of Tobel. Later, it housed an embroidery, and then a dairy that is still in existence.

Catholics and Protestants were divided into the parishes of Tobel and Affeltrangen.

The first village laws were documented in 1490 and regulated the daily life. Grain was cultivated in the three-field system with some viticulture. In the 19th century the economy transitioned to produce hay, with some fruit production starting in 1911. Between 1870 and 1914 the village shared in the embroidery boom and in 1910 there were 26 embroidery workers in the village. In 1924, a needle factory opened followed in 1978 by a tank farm for petroleum products with rail access to the Thurgau-Bahn rail-line.

Historic population

Sir Herbert Charles Perrott, 5th and 1st Baronet,  (26 October 1849 – 15 February 1922) was an English baronet who succeeded to a 1716 baronetcy in 1886 and was created a baronet in his own right on 21 June 1911 with precedence to his heirs male from the 1716 creation. Since there were no sons, the baronetcies became extinct with his death in 1922.

Background
Perrott was elder son of Sir Edward George Lambert Perrott, 4th Baronet (died 1886) by his wife
Emma Maria Houghton (died 1878), only dau. of Charles Evelyn Houghton, commander R.N., descended in the female line, from John Evelyn.

The 1716 baronetcy had been created for Sir Robert Perrott, styled 1st Bart., of Richmond, Surrey (died 1759), a relative of Sir John Perrot, lord deputy of Ireland in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. It was claimed that he was created a baronet on 1 July 1716 with limitation to his brother and the heirs male of his body, in reward for eminent diplomatic services, but no patent was registered in the College of Arms. Thus, the nephew Sir Richard Perrott (lineal ancestor of Sir Herbert) assumed the style of Baronet, but was not presumably so recognized. The 1911 creation was probably designed to overcome the failure to register the patent at the time of creation.

The 3rd Baronet, Sir Edward Bindloss Perrott (1784–1859) married in 1810, Louisa Augusta Bayly (died 1860, aged 81), a niece of Henry Bayly Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge, and cousin of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey, K.G, already a notable war hero.  Sir Herbert was therefore a third cousin of the 3rd Marquess of Anglesey.

Career
Perrott was Chief Secretary of the St. John Ambulance Association from its formation in 1877 and secretary-general of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England from 1910. He was made Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the October 1902 South African Honours list, for home service to the war effort during the Second Boer War. After the First world war, he was appointed a Companion of Honour (CH) in the 1918 Birthday Honours.

Family
He married on 10 December 1901 at St Peter's Eaton Square, London, Ethel Lucy Hare (1875 – 1939), eldest daughter of the late Captain Marcus Augustus Stanley Hare, R.N., of Court Grange, Newton Abbott. Lady Perrott was appointed a Lady of Grace of the Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in England (DStJ) on 8 May 1902.

They had issue, two daughters:
 Marie Louise Priscilla Perrott, later Baroness Forester (born 20 December 1909 – 1988), wife as of 1931 of the 7th Baron Forester since 1931. They had issue one son and four daughters, of whom the two eldest daughters Christine Helene and Juliet Mary married the 7th Baron Bolton and the 8th Marquess of Downshire respectively. Lady Forester had a royal godparent in H.H. Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein.
 Helena Ruth Perrott, later Viscountess Maitland (1912-1 September 1999, aged 87), died as Helena, Viscountess Maitland; she married 1936 Ivor Colin, Viscount Maitland, (29 August 1915 – 18 January 1943), killed in action in North Africa, aged 27, only son and heir of Ian Maitland, 15th Earl of Lauderdale and had issue three daughters, of whom the eldest Mary Helena married the 4th Baron Biddulph.

WREN (590 AM, "The Mighty 590") was an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Carrollton, Alabama, United States.  The station began broadcasting in 1951 as "WRAG" and fell permanently dark in 2010 due to economic and other issues. The WREN broadcast license was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in September 2011.

The station's license was last held by Serendipity Ventures II, LLC. Before falling silent, it had most recently broadcast a traditional Black Gospel music format branded as "The Mighty 590". Over the six decades of its operation, WRAG had also aired Top 40, country, and rhythm and blues music formats.

History

Launch
The class D station was originally assigned the call letters WRAG by the FCC and began broadcasting in August 1951. The 1,000 watt daytime-only station was licensed to Pickens County Broadcasting, Inc., which was itself owned by Roth E. Hook and W.E. Farrar.

Carl Sauceman and his brother John Paul, also known as the Sauceman Brothers, were among the early pioneers of Bluegrass music.  After performing at radio stations in North Carolina and Tennessee, Carl Sauceman brought his Green Valley Boys to WRAG in early 1952 for a decade-long run as the station's studio band. Sauceman was elevated to program director in 1954 then general manager of the station in 1955. The Green Valley Boys' broadcasts are credited with popularizing Bluegrass in central Alabama and eastern Mississippi.

WRAG era
In June 1990, after nearly 40 years of ownership, Pickens County Broadcasting Company, Inc., made a deal to sell WRAG to Vintage Broadcasting Corporation.  The deal was approved by the FCC on August 7, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on October 1, 1990.

In May 1994, Vintage Broadcasting Corporation agreed to sell this station to Firststar Broadcasting Systems, Inc.  The deal was approved by the FCC on August 3, 1994, but the transaction was not consummated and WRAG was placed back on the market.  In September 1994, Vintage Broadcasting Corporation reached an agreement to sell this station to Grant Radio Group, LLC.  The deal was approved by the FCC on December 14, 1994, and the transaction was consummated on February 15, 1995.

In July 1997, Grant Radio Group, LLC, contracted to sell this station to Willis Broadcasting subsidiary Birmingham Christian Radio, Inc.  The deal was approved by the FCC on October 16, 1997, and the transaction was consummated on June 30, 1998.

In April 2006, Willis Broadcasting-owned Birmingham Christian Radio, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Kingdom Radio of Chattanooga, LLC, as part of a two-station deal for a reported combined sale price of $200,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on June 5, 2006, and the transaction was consummated on August 2, 2006.

WREN era
In April 2008, Kingdom Radio of Chattanooga, LLC, agreed to sell this station to Serendipity Ventures II, LLC, based in Festus, Missouri. The deal was approved by the FCC on May 8, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on May 9, 2008. The new owners had the FCC assign this station the current call letters WREN on October 14, 2008. These historic call letters once belonged to a radio station in Topeka, Kansas.

Falling silent
The station fell silent on September 29, 2008, and the licensee applied to the FCC for special temporary authority to remain silent for 180 days. The licensee cited "the current economic conditions in Pickens County, Alabama" and "some other personal family health issues" for the suspension of operations. They stated they expect to resume operations in "the Spring of 2009".  The application was accepted for filing by the FCC but later dismissed when the station resumed broadcasting on May 28, 2009.

WREN fell silent again on July 16, 2009, and Serendipity Ventures again applied to the FCC for authority to remain off the air temporarily. The station's owners sought to "resolve the terms of a potential time brokerage agreement" and made the request "out of an abundance of caution". This time the Commission granted the request and on November 2, 2009, gave the station until May 2, 2010, to return to the air or ask for an extension. Citing "economic conditions" the station filed for the extension in January 2010 but this application was dismissed when the station resumed broadcasting on June 29, 2010.

Citing "staffing" and "continuing economic conditions", WREN's licensed holder took the station silent again on July 5, 2010. They again sought permission from the FCC to remain silent and this was granted on September 16, 2010. The special temporary authority was scheduled to expire on March 15, 2011. In March 2011, with the deadline fast approaching and family health and economic concerns unresolved, the station filed for an extension.

This time, however, the station did not return to the air within a year of falling silent. The license holder submitted a Notification of Suspension of Operations to the FCC on July 4, 2011, and formally submitted their license for cancellation in a letter dated September 14, 2011. Under the terms of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, as a matter of law a radio station's broadcast license is subject to automatic forfeiture and cancellation if they fail to broadcast for one full year. The FCC cancelled WREN's broadcast license on September 21, 2011.

The Unknown Confederate Soldier Monument in Horse Cave is a monument between Horse Cave, Kentucky and Kentucky Down Under, off the main road between Horse Cave and I-65 on the Old Dixie Highway, in Hart County, Kentucky. Among the various monuments of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission, all of which became part of the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997, it is an oddity for several reasons. First, though meant to imply an obelisk, it was constructed of local materials by a single individual. It was built during the Great Depression in year 1934, long after most monuments to the American Civil War. Instead of the typical limestone and marble from which most monuments were made, the monument uses geodes from Tennessee, a sedimentary/volcanic rocks in which crystals fill a largely hollow interior. The monument is 12 feet high, with a base of five feet square.

The monument honors an unknown foot soldier from the 11th Louisiana Infantry, who died prior to the Battle of Munfordville. He was part of a tree-cutting detail. Ordered to rest, he lay down beside a tree. His loaded rifle accidentally discharged when it struck a tree branch; the bullet entered his head below his chin and killed him instantly. The soldier was buried with rocks marking his head and feet. Years later, a wire fence was placed around the grave.

Local tradition says that a man named Sam Lively built the monument, fearing otherwise the grave would become lost.

The monument is technically on private property, but a path through the evergreen trees allows visitors access. A Confederate Naval Jack flies beside the monument.

The Inscription says:
Unknown Soldier C. S. A. was a member of Gen. Clay Anderson division 11th Louisiana Killed September 9, 1862. Erected 1934 by Sam Lively.

Roth edited Constantine Revisited: Leithart, Yoder, and the Constantinian Debate, a collection of essays by Christian pacifists defending John Howard Yoder's argument that Constantine steered the Church in the wrong direction by abandoning Christ's doctrine of nonviolence, exemplified by his willingness to die rather than defend himself, from Peter Leithart's criticism that God did not want Christians to live as a powerless, oppressed minority.

He currently teaches at Goshen College.

Agra is a village and former municipality in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland.

In 2004 the municipality was merged with the other, neighboring municipalities Gentilino and Montagnola to form a new and larger municipality Collina d'Oro.

History
The hamlet of Bigogno, which is part of Agra, is first mentioned in 1270 in an inventory of the lands of the monastery of S. Abbondio in Como in the Valle di Lugano.  The inventory of Como Cathedral (1298) mentions their allodial titles and episcopal loans in Agra as well as possessions of the Disentis Abbey.  The same document also mentions the church of S. Tommaso in Agra.  The church initially belonged to the parish of S. Pietro in Pambio and then became an under-parish in 1591.  The Chapel of S. Assunta in Bigogno was completed before 1609.  In the statutes of Como from 1335, the Concilium or Vicinanza of Agra and Premona or Barbengo is first mentioned.

In addition to agriculture, the village was once famous for training and sending artisans to Russia along with other European nations.  In 1912 a regional sanatorium opened in the village.  It was a residence to for many, especially German-speaking, notables and intellectuals.  They published the monthly magazine Die Terrasse (The Terrace) from the sanatorium.  It was closed in 1969 and fell into disrepair.

Location

The village is located at an elevation of  at the foot of Monte Crocione.

Gentilino is a village and former municipality in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland, close to Lake Lugano and the city of Lugano.

The local Church of Sant'Abbondio (in Italian: Chiesa di Sant'Abbondio a Gentilino - not to be confused with the Swiss municipality of Sant'Abbondio above Lake Maggiore, or the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio in Lombardy, Italy) is noteworthy for dating from the eleventh century. The cemetery of Sant'Abbondio is the resting place of Hugo Ball, Bruno Walter, and Hermann Hesse. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

In 2004, the municipality was merged with the other, neighboring municipalities Agra and Montagnola to form a new and larger municipality Collina d'Oro.

History
Gentilino is first mentioned in 1210 as Gentarino'.

In the Early Middle Ages, Gentilino belonged to the royal court of Agnuzzo, which was donated in 818 by Emperor Louis the Pious to the clergy of Como. During the 11th century it belonged to the monastery of S. Abbondio in Como. The union of the monastic estates in 1335 probably led to the creation of the Concilium Sancti Abundii which included Gentilino and Viglio as well as Montagnola and the surrounding villages. In the early 18th century, the village wanted to buy the monastery's rights to the village. However, this triggered a long-running dispute, in which the canton was eventually involved.

It is believed that the church of S. Abbondio was the center of a medieval parish, which became a sub-parish in the 11th century. However, the first written record of the church dates from 1140. The current appearance is due to an enlargement in the 17th century.

In the past centuries, the population lived mainly from agriculture, but there was also a large exodus of builders (known as Maestranze''). Recently, it has grown into a bedroom community for the nearby city of Lugano.

Location
Until the merger, it included the north side of the Collina d'Oro valley, and the settlement of Viglio.

A pre-primary school is located in Gentilino.

Henry Edridge  (1768 in Paddington – 23 April 1821 in London) was the son of a tradesman and apprenticed at the age of fifteen to William Pether, a mezzotinter and landscapist, and became proficient as a painter of miniatures, portraits and landscapes.

His first portraits were on ivory, and he subsequently turned to paper with black lead and India ink to which he added very ornate backgrounds, but he later produced a large number of elaborately finished pictures in water colours with light backgrounds. These were followed by others in which he combined the depth and richness of oil paintings with the freedom of water colour drawings. His subjects included Lord Nelson, the explorer Mungo Park, the Methodist missionary Thomas Coke, the Prime Minister William Pitt and John Wesley at the age of 88.

Sir Joshua Reynolds was so taken with one of his miniatures, that he insisted on having it and paid him handsomely for it. This was the sign for Edridge to abandon engraving and become a painter. He did wisely in copying many of the works of Reynolds for study.

He first established himself in Golden Square and in 1801 moved to Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, where he remained for twenty years. With the desire to indulge his taste for landscape painting, which he cultivated under Thomas Hearne, he made two excursions to Normandy and Paris, in 1817 and 1819, producing many interesting drawings which were subsequently exhibited. Three of his landscapes are now in the South Kensington Museum, and his sketches on the first Lord Auckland and of Robert Southey are in the National Portrait Gallery. He became a student at the Royal Academy in 1784 and was elected an associate in November 1820. Unhappily he had but a very short time to enjoy this distinction, for he died from an attack of asthma on 23 April 1821.

Fall River United was a  United States soccer club, based in Fall River, Massachusetts. They played in the American Soccer League during the 1921–22 season.

History
In 1921 the Southern New England Soccer League and the National Association Football League effectively merged to form the American Soccer League. A new team  Fall River United were formed to enter the ASL.  In a pre-season game on July 21, 1921 a team that included Chick Albion, Tommy McFarlane and Harry Ratican, held Third Lanark to a 2–2 draw. Ratican scored United’s opening goal. Third Lanark featured many guest players from other Scottish teams and was virtually a Scottish League XI. They played 25 games during their North American tour, winning them all until they played United in the final game. However, during the subsequent 1921–22 season United struggled, finishing sixth out of eight during the inaugural ASL season. Although they did not do well in the standings they had done well financially. The following season they could not agree to terms on a lease for their playing grounds. A joint bid with the Fall River Rovers to continue in the ASL was denied while Sam Mark's bid was accepted by the league. He built a new stadium at Tiverton, RI to host his new team Fall River F.C.

Ralph Caraffi (January 19, 1901 – January, 1978) was a U.S. soccer player who played as a midfielder.  He played one season in the professional American Soccer League.  The remainder of his nineteen-year career was with semi-professional and amateur leagues.  He is a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame

Career
Caraffi was born in Dunlevy, Pennsylvania. In 1915, at the age of fifteen, he began playing with the semi-professional Vestaburg which competed in an obscure Pennsylvania league.  He left Vestaburg in 1917 after which there is a two-year gap in the record of his career.  However, the U.S. involvement in World War I caused the suspension of several leagues due to the loss of players to military service.  Caraffi’s National Soccer Hall of Fame profile notes that he played for the U.S. Army team in Europe and this may account for those missing two years.  In 1919, Caraffi signed with the Fall River Rovers of the semi-professional Southern New England Soccer League.  He spent two seasons with the Rovers until the team and the league folded in 1921.  That occurred in response to the establishment of the American Soccer League which was formed by several of the top SNESL and National Association Football League teams.  The Rovers were disbanded and a new, fully professional, team, Fall River United was formed and entered the ASL.  Caraffi moved to Fall River United, playing six games that season.  There is another between 1922 and 1926 when he is on record as playing for the semi-professional American Hungarians of the Northeastern Ohio major league in Cleveland, Ohio.  In 1929, Caraffi joined Cleveland Bruell Insurance in the newly established Midwest Professional Soccer League.  In 1930, Bruell Insurance went to the final of the National Challenge Cup before falling to the Fall River F.C.

Thomas Brown Jordan FRSA (24 October 1807 – 31 May 1890) was a British inventor and engineer.

Birth and beginnings
Born at Bristol on 24 October 1807, he was the son of Thomas Jordan (a Quaker engineer), and began life as an artist.

Move to Cornwall
When barely twenty he moved to Falmouth. While painting there and at Penzance he made the acquaintance of Robert Were Fox the Younger, in whose physical researches he took the greatest interest, as well as becoming drawing master to Fox's son, Barclay.

Inventor
R.W.Fox's influence led him to relinquish painting and to set up as a mathematical instrument maker in Falmouth, where he effected improvements in the miners' dial, and had some share in the construction of Fox's improved dipping-needle. In 1838 Jordan devised an instrument for recording by photography the variations of the barometric column, and he shortly afterwards invented a declination magnetograph and a self-recording actinometer. His pioneering use of photography in meteorology was acknowledged by both Charles Wheatstone and Sir John Herschel. For some years subsequent to 1839 he held the post of secretary of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society.

Sir Henry de la Beche, when engaged on the geological survey of Cornwall, made Jordan's acquaintance, and secured his appointment in 1840 as first keeper of mining records, with charge of plans, sections, and models. Jordan took a great interest in electro-metallurgy during the early years of its development, and in 1841 he made an egg-cup of electro-deposited copper, plated with silver outside and gold inside, which was considered a model of workmanship, and is now deposited in the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, London.

London move
Upon resigning his appointment as keeper of mining records in 1845, Jordan invented a highly ingenious process of carving by machinery, and set up works at Lambeth for carrying into effect the invention, for which in 1847 he received the gold Isis medal from the Society of Arts, and in the same year he was elected a Fellow of the Society. The wood-carving machinery was subsequently exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and the products were extensively used in the decoration of the House of Lords.

Later on Jordan started work as a mechanical engineer, first at Manchester, then at Glasgow, where he devised a series of machines for the production of school slates. Shortly after 1870, however, he returned to London, and established himself as a mining engineer in conjunction with his son, Mr. Thomas Rowland Jordan. Jordan's last invention, patented in 1877, was a portable machine for boring blast-holes in rock. He died in Bournemouth on 31 May 1890.

Personal life and eventual death
Jordan married, in 1837, Sarah Dunn. They had eleven children. He died 1890-05-31. Mrs. Jordan survived him.

Auressio is a village and former municipality in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland.

In 2001 the municipality was merged with the other, neighboring municipalities Berzona and Loco to form a new and larger municipality Isorno.

History

Auressio is first mentioned in 1233 as ''Oraxio'.

Until the 19th century, the village had much closer ties to Piedmont than to the rest of the Onsernone valley.  The construction of the road through the valley in the 19th century brought it closer to the rest of the valley.

The church of S. Antonio Abate was finished in 1526 and became the center of an independent parish in 1792 after it separated from Loco.

After World War II farming and grazing were almost abandoned and replaced by short-term, seasonal emigration.  The improved transport links to the nearby town of Locarno increased Auressio's attractiveness as a place to live for those that were employed in Locarno.  This led to a clear population increase in recent years.

One notable building in Auressio is the Villa Edera, which was built in 1887, for the Paris impresario Paolo Antonio Calzonio.  It was restored in the early 1990s by the municipality and is now used as a hostel.

Loco is a village and former municipality in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland.

In 2001 the municipality of Loco was merged with the neighboring municipalities Auressio and Berzona to form a new and larger municipality Isorno.

History

Loco is first mentioned in 1224 as Loco and was often referred to a Luogo as well.

The municipality also contained the hamlets of Niva and Rossa.

From the Middle Ages until the end of the Ancien Régime Loco was the capital of the old Onsernone valley community.

The parish church of San Remigio was the mother church of the valley and ancient seat of the Vicariate of Onsernone valley. It is first mentioned in 1228 (in the municipal archives), but is probably older. In the early 16th Century it was rebuilt and acquired its current steeple. It houses the Holy Cross chapel with an ancient, venerated cross relic. The church is also the home of a Last Supper painting by the Flemish painter Godefridus Maes from 1683. In the hamlet of Niva, there is a late baroque chapel of St. John Nepomuk. The chapel in Sassello is from the late 17th Century and is dedicated to the Madonna of Re.

In the 19th Century, Loco was a center of the straw braiding for hats, bags and other articles. The straw braids that were used for this purpose were produced in the other villages of the Onsernone valley.

In addition to the typical houses with balconies, a number of aristocratic mansions are located in the village. These include the Casa Broggini (built 1708) in Rossa.

The primary school for the area is located in Loco, along with the Onsernonese Museum (opened 1966) and the renovated retirement home of the Onsernone valley. Near Loco, in a restored mill, there is a permanent exhibition on the grain milling in the area. Casa Schira (built in the 19th century, now owned by the community) has a small public library and a hostel.

At the beginning of the 21st Century the majority of the workers commuted to Locarno.

The Band of Holy Joy are an English band formed in New Cross, London, and initially active between 1984 and 1993, releasing several albums. In 1992, they abbreviated their name to Holy Joy. They reformed in 2002, under their original name, releasing a new album called Love Never Fails. They concentrated on other musical projects during 2003 to 2006. The band began performing live again in 2007 and since 2017 have released a number of albums on Tiny Global Productions, including Funambulist We Love You, Neon Primitives, Dreams Take Flight, and their latest critically acclaimed release Fated Beautiful Mistakes in 2023.

History
The band was formed in 1984, by Johny Brown in New Cross, South London. Early experiments revolved around cheap junk shop instrumentation and rudimentary electronics. After two self-issued cassettes, they signed to South London indie label Flim Flam for a string of singles and two 1987 albums; More Tales From The City and the live LP When Stars Come Out To Play.

The band reached a commercial and critical peak after signing to Rough Trade, with Manic, Magic, Majestic in 1989, and Positively Spooked in 1990, supported by a tour of the U.S.S.R. The label was forced into receivership in 1991 following cash flow problems and eventual bankruptcy. The band re-emerged in 1992 as Holy Joy, with the album Tracksuit Vendetta. They split up in 1993 and Brown moved into freelance journalism, playwriting and production.

Band of Holy Joy reformed in 2002 and released an album Love Never Fails. After a number of live dates the band became inactive between 2003, and 2006, pursuing other musical projects. In May 2007, the band began playing live again. October 2007 saw the release of Leaves That Fall in Spring, a best of released on the Cherry Red label.

In 2008, after playing nine warm-up dates in and around London during April, May and June, the band set off to the US for the first time in their 24-year history and embarked on a successful tour of New York City. Punklore, a six-track CD was released and initially only available at the New York gigs.

In 2009, the band started to explore theatrical and multimedia based performances. As their alter ego Radio Joy, they performed two song plays Troubled Sleep and  Invocation to William. Troubled Sleep was a fictional account of Sid and Nancy's last days at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. It played out over several nights in the Shunt Theatre Lounge in London and Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle. Invocation to William was performed at The University of London Institute in Paris at the event celebrating the 50th anniversary of William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch, 'Lunch @ 50'. The songs from this show were released as a mini album CD A Lucky Thief in a Careless World on the band's own Radio Joy label. In October 2009, they were invited to play The Wire magazine's 'Into the Vortex' festival, followed by a series of shows in Athens, Greece, later that year.

Paramour, the band's eleventh album was released on 8 June 2010 and featured eight songs that had evolved from the song play Troubled Sleep.

In 2011, the band embarked on another tour of Greece, playing in the cities of Athens, Thessaloniki, and Larissa. They made their first appearance at Glastonbury Festival and performed their third song play Beuys Will Be Beuys in London and Thessaloniki. A CD release titled How To Kill A Butterfly was released on 28 October 2011 on Exotic Pylon Records.

On 15 March 2012, a CD release entitled The North Is Another Land was released on German independent record label Moloko Plus.

On 28 January 2013, a double cassette and digital download titled City of Tales: Volume 1 & 2 was released on Exotic Pylon Records. Volume 1 contains previously unreleased material from 1985 found by former band member Brett Turnbull, restored and accompanied by a second volume of recordings from 2012. This was followed up in 2014 with Easy Listening which was released on Exotic Pylon Records with an accompanying UK tour.

Their album The Land of Holy Joy was released through Stereogram Recordings on 21 September 2015.

Since 2017, the band have put out a series of releases on label Tiny Global Productions starting with an EP on 10" vinyl entitled Brutalism Begins at Home followed by the albums, Funambulist We Love You, Neon Primitives and Dreams Take Flight. A new album entitled Fated Beautiful Mistakes was released in June 2023 on vinyl and CD. Louder Than War described the most recent release as "an album that everyone should hear and hopefully take to their heart. Songs that make you feel less alone. More optimistic and free to grasp hope and love where and when you can, while you can".

Band of Holy Joy host their own radio show, Bad Punk, on Resonance FM every Friday from 10pm until 11pm.

Musical style
The band's music includes elements of post-punk, folk rock, European cabaret, reflective instrumentation and epic pop, with Jacques Brel, Bertolt Brecht, Coleridge and David Peace identified as influences. Their City of Tales release has been likened to David Bowie's 1. Outside and the work of Pere Ubu. Jason Ankeny, writing for Allmusic, described the band as "urban folk". Rob Young, in the book Rough Trade, described their music as "a bohemian mix of inner city guignol, Brechtian street song, and soaring romanticism".

Frank Grimes (born 1947) is an Irish stage and screen actor.

Grimes was born in Dublin. He achieved his first major success as the young Brendan Behan in the 1967 stage adaptation of Behan's autobiography, Borstal Boy, at the Abbey Theatre. When the production moved to Broadway, Grimes was nominated for a Tony Award for best actor.

In 1970 the Italian director, Franco Zeffirelli, offered Grimes the lead role of Francis of Assisi in his biopic, Brother Sun, Sister Moon. However, director and actor fell out over how the part should be played and Grimes was replaced by Graham Faulkner.

In the early 1970s, Grimes moved to London where he came to the attention of director Lindsay Anderson. Anderson offered him a part in his production of David Storey's play The Farm, the success of which established Grimes' reputation in British theatre.

Grimes' most significant film role to date is the part of Major Fuller in Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far (1977). However, he is probably best known, in his native Ireland at least, for his performance as Father O'Connor in RTÉ's drama series, Strumpet City. In 1981, Grimes received a Jacob's Award "for his detailed and exceptionally convincing portrayal" of the young priest.

Frank Grimes continues to work in television, films and theatre. Recent TV appearances include the recurrent role of Barry Connor in Coronation Street. In 2013 he appeared as Mrs McCarthy's husband in the Father Brown episode "The Mayor and the Magician".

Umberto Bindi (12 May 1932 – 23 May 2002) was an Italian singer-songwriter. He is especially known for the popular song he co-wrote with Gino Paoli, Il Mio Mondo ("You're My World"), which he recorded in Italian in 1963, and ''La musica è finita'' ("Our Song", recorded by Robert Plant on 45 rpm and then on album Sixty Six to Timbuktu) It was later performed by singers in English and other languages.

Life and career
Bindi was born in Bogliasco (Province of Genoa), Italy, and was classically trained. He wrote his first song, "T'ho perduto" ("I've Lost You"), in 1950. He made his professional debut in Italian popular music in 1959 with his composition, "Arrivederci". The song was recorded by Don Marino Barreto Jr., and soon became the best-selling single in Italy for that year. A cover version was recorded by Chet Baker in 1960 for the Italian film, Urlatori alla sbarra.

Bindi's first album, Umberto Bindi e le sue canzoni, was released in 1960. Bindi also wrote and recorded a number of songs that would make him known to the larger public in Italy. A few of these became classic hits there, covered many times: besides "Arrivederci", Il Nostro Concerto ("Our Concert"), 1960, number 2 on Italy's best-selling singles list for the year, "Riviera" (1961), and "Il Mio Mondo". The latter was recorded in English in 1964 by the British pop singer Cilla Black, and remained number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, while also reaching Number 1 in Australia, Number 2 in Ireland and New Zealand and Number 26 in the USA. Bindi's "Il Nostro Concerto" spent one week in the UK Singles Chart in November 1960, at number 47.

He also wrote the music of La musica è finita (1967), another Italian classic, made famous by Ornella Vanoni and Mina.

However, his singing career in Italy stalled, and he and music critics attributed this to the Italian media's discomfort in the 1960s with Bindi's homosexuality. The singer nevertheless made a few concert appearances.

Bindi died at a Rome hospital from heart disease at the age of 70.

Grégory Baugé (born  31 January 1985) is a French professional racing cyclist.

Early life
Bauge first took up sport at the age of eight, playing football. His father enrolled him in the Aubergenville cycling school. At that time he took part in road races, mountain biking and trial cycling.

In 2000 he joined a cycling club in Yvelines. Aware of his qualities and encouraged by his father, he gradually left road cycling to concentrate on track cycling. in July 2001, he participated in the French National cadet (15–16 years) sprint championships where he was beaten in the final by Guillaume Blot.

In November 2001 he joined the Creteil Athletic Union, and permanently dedicated himself to the track. The following year, at 17, he entered the National Institute for Sport and Physical Education in Paris.

Early career
He joined the France junior sprint team in 2002. With Mickaël Murat and Francois Pervis, he became World Champion in the Junior (17–18 years) team sprint discipline. With his coach Gerard Quintyn, he competed at the Athens Olympics in 2004. Bauge specialised in the opening lap of the team sprint.

At the 2008 Olympics, he won the silver medal in the team sprint.

2011 suspension
In January 2012 it was announced that Baugé had received a backdated 12-month suspension for missing doping tests. This meant that all his results for 2011 were nullified. This elevated Britain's Jason Kenny to gold medal position in the Sprint event at the 2011 World Championships, as well as giving the German Team Sprint team the gold medal in the same meet.

2012
Baugé regained the World Championship Sprint title by beating defending champion Jason Kenny in the final of the 2012 event. Baugé went on to win two Olympic silver medals, in the team sprint (losing to Great Britain in the final for the second successive games), and in the individual sprint (being defeated by Kenny in the final).

The Universal Synod of Ingelheim began on June 7, 948 in the then church of Saint Remigius in Ingelheim.
Being summoned by Pope Agapetus II its primary goal was to resolve a long running Schism concerning the archiepiscopal see of Reims. The synod was presided by Marinus of Bomarzo, then the Roman Church's librarian. In the run up to the convocation there were two earlier synods, in Verdun in November 947 and in Mouzon in the beginning of 948, both considering the same problem but unable to resolve it.

Topics
Since 931 the archiepiscopal see was claimed by Hugh of Vermandois and Artald of Reims. Hugh was supported by his uncle, Hugh the Great while Artald was supported by both Louis IV. and Otto the Great. The aforementioned appeared at the synod in person while Hugh the Great was absent and not even substituted for. A clerk of Hugh of Vermandois named Sigbaldus then presented a letter stating that Guy, Bishop of Soissons, Hildegarius of Beauvais, Raoul [II] of Laon and the remaining bishops of the province of Reims had sent letters requesting Hugh be restored to the bishopric of Reims and Artald be expelled. Several of the bishops named stood up and protested they had not seen, nor heard, nor authorized such a letter. Sigbaldus was exiled and it was ruled that the see was to be given to Artald.

The following day Archbishop Robert of Trier stated that because the diocese of Reims had been restored to Artald, the synod should judge the one who invaded that see. The canons of holy law having been read, they decreed that Hugh of Vermandois was excommunicated and removed from the church "until he should do penance and make worthy satisfaction."

Other important matters included consanguineous marriages. In order to inadvertently avoid marrying someone within the prohibited degree of kinship all Christians were strongly recommended to keep a list of their ancestors and that nobles compare such lists before contracting a marriage.

Other subjects included the founding of missionary dioceses in Scandinavia, this fact being the reason for the attendance of the bishops Liopdgad of Ripen, Oredo of Schleswig and Reginbrand of Aarhus. Another issue was to restrict the Ottonic proprieritary church system.

Importance
Being attained by the two kings of East and West Francia, 32 archbishops and bishops as well as other clerical dignitaries this synod was one of the most important assemblies being held in Ingelheim and one of the climaxes in Ingelheim's importance as one of the political centres of the empire.
