The Arbitration Roundtable of Toronto is made up of several litigators, academics, arbitrators, and mediators from the Greater Toronto Area. The group promotes arbitration as an alternative method of conflict resolution over litigation, especially in commercial suits. Members include commercial litigators from Toronto law firms including some of the Seven Sisters of Bay Street. Each member has experience and interest in promoting commercial Arbitration. The group dedicates its time to encouraging this form of Dispute resolution through seminars, papers, and talks.

History
Founded in summer 2004 when John Judge and William G. Horton talked about bringing several prominent ADR Chambers members together after noticing how well suited to arbitration Toronto representatives were during an ICC arbitration with counsel from Canada, France, Germany, and the United States.

Arbitration
Arbitration focuses on resolving conflicts outside of courthouse litigation. Parties defer to one or more mutually acceptable arbitrators who will come to the final decision. This mode of resolution has often been related to Alternative dispute resolution. In Canada groups and persons interested in or promoting ADR work with the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.

Zhang Yanshang () (727 – September 7, 787), né Zhang Baofu (), was a Chinese politician  serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Dezong.

Background
Zhang Baofu was born in 727, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong.  His family traced its ancestry to the Jin Dynasty official Zhang Hua.  His father Zhang Jiazhen had previously been a chancellor under Emperor Xuanzong and continued to serve in prominent positions after his removal in 723.  Zhang Jiazhen died in 729, however, when Zhang Baofu was only two years old.  Near the end of Emperor Xuanzong's Kaiyuan era (713-741), the mayor of Jingzhao Municipality (京兆, i.e., the region of the Tang capital Chang'an), Han Chaozong (), who had previously been recommended by Zhang Jiazhen, stated to Emperor Xuanzong:

Emperor Xuanzong, hearing this, was saddened, and he summoned Zhang Baofu and made him an army officer.  Emperor Xuanzong also gave him a new name — Yanshang, meaning "extended favor."  It was said that Zhang Yanshang was well-versed in the Confucian classics and histories and he also became known for administrative talent.  The official Miao Jinqing, who later served as a chancellor as well, was impressed with his talent and gave him a daughter in marriage.

During Emperor Suzong's reign
During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong's son and successor Emperor Suzong was, for some time, at Fengxiang (鳳翔, in modern Baoji, Shaanxi), and while there, he made Zhang Yanshang an imperial censor, initially with the rank Jiancha Yushi (), then as Dianzhong Shiyushi ().  Thereafter, the general Wang Sili (), who then carried the title of military governor (Jiedushi) of Guanzhong Circuit, requested to have Zhang serve as his assistant, and when Wang was later made the military governor of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi), Zhang served as the deputy mayor of Taiyuan Municipality under Wang.  He was later recalled to Chang'an to serve as a low-level official at the ministry of justice (刑部, Xingbu).

During Emperor Daizong's reign
After Emperor Suzong died in 762 and was succeeded by his son Emperor Daizong, the chancellor Yuan Zai became a dominant figure at court.  As Yuan had been recommended by Miao Jinqing, he treated Zhang Yanshang, as Miao's son-in-law, with kindness.  When Emperor Daizong was forced to flee to Shan Prefecture (陝州, in modern Sanmenxia, Henan) in 763, at Yuan's recommendation, Emperor Daizong made Zhang an imperial attendant (給事中, Jishizhong).  Soon thereafter, he became deputy chief imperial censor (御史中丞, Yushi Zhongcheng) and Zhongshu Sheren (), a mid-level official at the legislative bureau of government (中書省, Zhongshu Sheng).

In 767, Zhang was made the mayor of Henan Municipality (河南, i.e., the region of the eastern capital Luoyang).  During the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang suffered greatly from the wars, and much of it was in ruins.  It was said that Zhang was diligent and hardworking, and he ruled simply.  He also reopened the canals and rebuilt the palaces and imperial temples.  Within several years, refugees returned, and Luoyang returned to prosperity.  Emperor Daizong thus praised him in an edict.  In 770, when the office of deputy supreme commander of the Henan, Huaixi (淮西, headquartered in modern Zhumadian, Henan), and Shannan (i.e., the region south of the Qinling Mountains) Regions was abolished, the troops formerly attached to that office were transferred to Zhang.  Subsequently, Zhang was recalled to Chang'an to serve as chief imperial censor (御史大夫, Yushi Daifu).  While he was serving in that role, there was an occasion when the junior official Li Shaoliang () submitted a number of accusations against Yuan, and Yuan's associates, in turn, accused Li of false accusations and had him arrested and detained at the office of the imperial censors.  Zhang disapproved of the action and did not want to be involved, and he was sent to Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered in modern Yangzhou, Jiangsu) to serve as its military governor as well as the prefect of its capital Yang Prefecture ().  At that time, there was a drought in the circuit, and a large number of the people were trying to depart for other regions.  Zhang's subordinates detained them, but Zhang, pointing out that the people should be given the opportunity to survive the drought, allowed them to leave and, in their absence, kept their houses maintained and exempted them from taxes.  As a result, many returned thereafter.  He later left governmental service when his mother died, to observe a period of mourning for her.  After the mourning period was over, he was recalled to serve as the military governor of Jingnan Circuit (荊南, headquartered in modern Jingzhou, Hubei), as well as the mayor of its capital, Jiangling Municipality.

During Emperor Dezong's reign
Emperor Daizong died in 779 and was succeeded by his son Emperor Dezong.  Later that year, Emperor Dezong made Zhang Yanshang the military governor of Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered in modern Chengdu, Sichuan) and the mayor of its capital Chengdu Municipality.  During this time, when Xichuan was under attack by Tufan and Nanzhao forces, and imperial forces, commanded by Li Sheng and Qu Huan () were in Xichuan to aid Xichuan forces; they were ultimately able to repel Tufan and Nanzhao attacks.  (At the end of the campaign, however, there was a serious dispute between Zhang and Li Sheng — Li Sheng had, after the campaign, taken the military prostitute Gao Hong () with him.  Zhang, angry with this, sent messengers to chase after Li Sheng's army to demand Gao back, thus causing a grudge between Li Sheng and Zhang.)  In 783, there was a mutiny by his subordinate Zhang Ku (), who had been posted in the mountains in the west of Chengdu in defense against Tufan.  Zhang Ku attacked Chengdu, forcing Zhang Yanshang to flee to Han Prefecture (漢州, in modern Deyang, Sichuan).  It was only after another subordinate of Zhang Yanshang's, Chigan Sui (), attacked and killed Zhang Ku, that Zhang Yanshang was able to return to Chengdu.  It was said that Zhang followed the law and ruled the circuit leniently, allowing the people of the circuit to recover from the wars that had ravaged the circuit ever since Anshi Rebellion.

At that time, Emperor Dezong was faced with a rebellion by the general Zhu Ci and was forced to flee Chang'an.  During the times that he was at Fengtian (奉天, in modern Xianyang, Shaanxi) and then at Liang Prefecture (梁州, in modern Hanzhong, Shaanxi), until he was able to return to Chang'an after Zhu was defeated by the general Li Sheng in fall 784, Emperor Dezong relied on supplies from Xichuan Circuit, and in summer 784, he gave Zhang the honorary chancellor designation of Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi ().  In 785, when the chancellor Liu Congyi was seriously ill (and Liu would die later in the year), Emperor Dezong thus recalled Zhang to Chang'an, intending to make him an actual chancellor.  Li Sheng, still displeased with Zhang, submitted a petition accusing Zhang of a number of crimes, and Emperor Dezong, not willing to go against Li's wishes, for the time being only made Zhang Zuo Pushe (), one of the heads of the executive bureau (尚書省, Shangshu Sheng).

By 786, however, Zhang was beginning to gain the upper hand against Li in their struggle, as Li's son-in-law Zhang Yu (), displeased that Li had held a grander ceremony and given more dowry when marrying another daughter to Cui Shu () than when marrying Zhang Yu's wife to him, became an associate of Zhang's, as did another subordinate of Li's, Zheng Yunkui ().  Emperor Dezong also had been suspicious of Li due to his longtime hold on the loyalty of the army, as well as various rumors fostered by Tufan agents that Li was planning treason.  Li, hearing that Emperor Dezong was suspecting him, offered to resign his post as military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (鳳翔, headquartered in modern Baoji, Shaanxi), in winter 786 when he was Chang'an.  Emperor Dezong declined, and instead requested the intervention of the chancellor Han Huang, who was friendly with LI.  Han and the general Liu Xuanzuo (), the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered in modern Kaifeng, Henan), therefore, held a feast for Zhang and Li, hoping to dissolve their enmity.  Both agreed, and Li further tried to dissolve Zhang's resentment by endorsing him as chancellor.  In spring 787, Emperor Dezong, accordingly, made Zhang a chancellor.  However, while Zhang agreed to dissolve his resentment, the resentment persisted, and when Li requested that Zhang give a daughter to one of his sons in marriage, Zhang refused, causing Li to comment:

Later in 787, Zhang, in conflict with his chancellor colleague Qi Ying, who had already offended Emperor Dezong by his honest words, and Zhang opined to Emperor Dezong that Qi did not have the talent to be a chancellor.  Emperor Dezong demoted Qi to be a prefectural prefect.

Around the same time, Han died, and both Zhang and the general Ma Sui, who also had a grudge against Li, advocated for peace for Tufan, which Li had opposed.  Emperor Dezong, who personally favored an alliance with Tufan against Huige, used Li's opposition against the Tufan alliance to remove Li from his post at Fengxiang.  Zhang recommended Zheng, but Emperor Dezong allowed Li to recommend his successor; Li recommended his officer Xing Junya ().  Emperor Dezong recalled Li to Chang'an to serve as Zhongshu Ling and Taiwei (太尉, one of the Three Excellencies) and relieved him of all of his military duties.  It was said that once Li returned to Chang'an, despite the suspicions that he was under, he nevertheless spoke honestly whenever he had opinions about the matters of state.  In light of Zhang's involvement in Li's command being lifted, subsequently, when Zhang wanted Li Baozhen the military governor of Zhaoyi Circuit (昭義, headquartered in modern Changzhi, Shanxi), and then Liu, to serve as the new commander of defense forces on the borders with Tufan, both Li Baozhen and Liu declined.  Meanwhile, Zhang also drew resentment from other officials when he made major cuts into the ranks of prefectural and county officials — eliminating about 1,000 positions — hoping to use the savings in reduced salaries for military purposes, despite objections from Ma, Wei Lun (), and Bai Zhizhen ().

By summer 787, Emperor Dezong and Tufan's chancellor Shang Jiezan () had negotiated a peace treaty, and the general Hun Jian, as Emperor Dezong's emissary, was set to meet with Shang at Pingliangchuan (平涼川, in modern Pingliang, Gansu).  Li Sheng, fearing Tufan treachery, instructed Hun to be careful, but Zhang, hearing this, accused Li Sheng of interfering with the peace with Tufan.  Emperor Dezong thus instructed Hun to relax, not to aggravate Tufan in any way.  On July 8, 787, at the meeting site, Shang laid a trap for Hun and launched a sudden attack, killing and capturing many of Hun's attendants, but Hun escaped.  When the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Dezong was so panicked that he considered fleeing Chang'an, but remained due to Li Sheng's advice.  As a result of this debacle, Zhang claimed an illness and retired, while Emperor Dezong recalled Ma to the capital and stripped him of his command.  Subsequently, the reduction in officer ranks was reversed under the advice of another chancellor, Li Mi.

Meanwhile, Zhang's rivalry with another official — Li Shuming () the military governor of Dongchuan Circuit (東川, headquartered in modern Mianyang, Sichuan) — which formed when they governed neighboring circuits, led Zhang to carry out some additional actions intended to bring down Li Shuming.  At that time, Li Shuming's son Li Shēng (李昇, note different tone and character than the great general) was repeatedly seen visiting Emperor Dezong's aunt Princess Gao, whose daughter was the wife and crown princess of Emperor Dezong's son and crown prince Li Song.  He informed this to Emperor Dezong, intimating that Li Shēng was having an affair with Princess Gao.  When Emperor Dezong asked Li Mi to investigate this, however, Li Mi correctly guessed that it was Zhang who informed Emperor Dezong of this and suggested no investigation, pointing out that Zhang's accusations also appeared to be intended to endanger Li Song.  Emperor Dezong agreed, and thereafter moved Li Shēng to the position of head of Li Song's household, away from Princess Gao.

Zhang died in winter 787 and was given posthumous honors.  He was also given the posthumous name of Chengsu (成肅, meaning "successful and solemn").  His son Zhang Hongjing later served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Dezong's grandson Emperor Xianzong.

Ouyang Xiu, the lead editor of the New Book of Tang, commented thus about Zhang:

She competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics, finishing 8th in 400 metres race and reaching 200 metres semifinals. She became the first African woman to reach 400 metres Olympic final. At the time she was studying at the University of Arizona and she won NCAA Division I Women's Indoor Championship in 400 metres in  1984. At the 2004 Kenyan championships she won three individual gold medals; 100, 200 and 400 metres.

Waithera still holds the Women's 400 metres Kenyan record, 51.56, set in 1984. In 2008 Elizabeth Muthuka broke the record, but tested positive for doping. Thus Waithera's record remains in force. As of 2008, Waithera remains also the latest Kenyan woman to compete 400 metres at the Olympics. Waithera is a former African record holder over 400 metres.

Waithera is from Shamata village. She was a member of the Kenya Air Force. She established the Avenue Sports Club in 1998 to give orphan children an opportunity to have a career in athletics. In 1990 she was awarded a membership of the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.

She is not to be confused with a Kenyan steeplechase runner, born in 1990, who is also named Ruth Waithera.

Iranians in Spain have a history going back for over a millennium and form a minor population in modern day. They are a part of the Iranian diaspora.

Migration history
Razi wrote in the 10th century that some Iranians had already settled in Al-Andalus, and Ibn Battuta later claimed the Iranians of Al-Andalus preferred to live in Granada because of its similarity to their homeland. However, the impetus for modern Iranian immigration to Spain came largely from the 1979 Iranian Revolution, as a result of which some Iranians went to Spain as political refugees.

Demography
A 1992 survey found that 31.7% worked in administrative jobs, 18.2% were professionals or technicians, 25.7% worked in trade, and another 11% worked in agriculture. The vast majority were 25-54 years of age, and only one-fifth were women. This is actually a relatively large proportion of women compared to other Muslim migrant communities in Spain, which may be attributed to the fact that most Iranians in Spain are political, rather than economic migrants.

Clara, Lu, 'n Em is a radio soap opera, which first aired on June 16, 1930, over WGN-AM Chicago, Illinois. The show was picked up by the NBC Blue radio network and premiered at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time on January 27, 1931. Thus, it became the first nationally broadcast radio soap opera. When Clara, Lu 'n Em was moved to a regular daytime time slot on February 15, 1932, it became the first networked daytime soap opera.

The first daytime serial drama-by-installment program, network or otherwise, is widely considered by scholars of the genre to be Painted Dreams, when it premiered in October 1930.

Clara, Lu, 'n Em continued in various forms through the 1930s and early 1940s on the NBC Blue Network and CBS, finally airing as a syndicated series in 1945.

Background
The series began as a Northwestern University sorority sketch by Louise Starkey (Clara), Isobel Carothers (Lu) and Helen King (Em). Rejection by several radio executives in Chicago led the trio to WGN. Program manager Henry Selinger was skeptical of their working without scripts, but their audition convinced him to let them perform without pay. They eventually began writing their own scripts and receiving pay. Super Suds was a sponsor of the program as early as August 1930.

NBC
As interest grew, they were sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive and were heard evenings on the NBC Blue Network from January 27, 1931, to February 12, 1932, before moving to weekdays from February 15, 1932, to March 23, 1934. From March 26, 1934, to January 10, 1936, they ran on the NBC (Red) network. On June 26, 1936, they returned to the NBC Blue Network, doing a weekly evening series, with music by Ted Fio Rito. The 30-minute program was sponsored by Frigidaire dealers.

Characters and hiatus
Story lines centered on three women who lived in a small-town duplex. Clara Roach and her family lived on one side of the duplex, Emma Krueger lived with her family on the other side. Widow Lulu Casey lived upstairs with her daughter Florabelle. When Carothers suddenly died January 8, 1937, at age 32, Starkey and King decided not to continue.

Return on CBS
When the program returned with Starkey and King in 1942 on CBS, another of their Northwestern University friends, Harriet Allyn, portrayed Lu. The show ran three times a week during the daytime.

Syndicated version
In 1945 a syndicated version of the show had a brief run. Allyn continued in the cast as Em, along with Fran Allison as Clara and Dorothy Day as Lu.

Alive! is a free monthly publication in the style of a newspaper which has been produced since its first edition in 1996 by Alive Group, an organisation with an address at the Dominican Order St Mary's Priory, Tallaght in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The current editor is a Catholic priest, Fr Brian McKevitt, who refers to the publication as a 'newszine'. While it claims a circulation of 240,000 copies, its actual readership is difficult to establish since a substantial portion of its circulation is delivered door-to-door, with most of the remainder being available through Ireland's network of Catholic churches (who do not provide estimates of take-up). It is printed by Datascope, an independent publishing company in Enniscorthy and contains an appeal in each issue for donations totalling €160,000 annually to remain in circulation.

Political stance and editorial opinion
Since September 2008, the front page has contained the following disclaimer text: "The content of the newspaper Alive! and the views expressed in it are those of the editor and contributors, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Irish Dominican Province".

The majority of its articles are written anonymously.

The publication strongly opposed the Nice Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty on all four occasions on which they were submitted to the Irish people, a position which drew criticism from Irish politicians such as Senator Paschal Donohoe on the grounds that its position could be erroneously interpreted by many Catholics as representing the official views of the Catholic hierarchy. TD Thomas Byrne criticised the publication, claiming that he was "bombarded" with its "anti-EU" views while attending Mass. Individual politicians and the Oireachtas sub-committee on Europe asked the Catholic Church and Seán Cardinal Brady to ban it from being distributed in churches. Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú stated that it was "completely wrong" to suggest that Cardinal Brady should ban the publication from churches simply because it espoused views opposing the Lisbon treaty.  Senator Ivana Bacik defended the criticism of the publication stating that it espoused extreme views that most moderate Catholics opposed and that it was the "equivalent of the paramilitary wing of the Catholic Church".

Format
A regular article entitled "Dumbag writes...!" features letters, purportedly from a devil named Dumbag, which highlight what the newspaper believes to be the folly of non-Catholic viewpoints. This feature is inspired by The Screwtape Letters by the Anglican writer, C.S. Lewis. The newspaper also features a column by Fr. Owen Gorman, an interview with a public personage about the role of religion in that person's life, a column dealing with perceived media bias against religion and Christianity and a Window on History article on a historical topic of relevance to the Catholic Church (such as the Penal Laws or the Protestant Reformation).

Fr. Brian McKevitt
Fr. Brian McKevitt OP, from Dundalk, is a member of the Dominican Order, founder and managing editor of Alive! Since 2022 he is based in St. Mary's Dominican Church and Priory, Cork. Founded Alive! when he was based, in St. Mary's Priory, Tallaght, Dublin.

In 2004 he published his The Dubbag Letters from Alive!.

In 2009, Fr. McKevitt attended a meeting in Roscommon of the John Paul II Society along with Declan Ganley (the founder of the now-defunct political organisation Libertas), Senator Rónán Mullen and a number of other conservative Roman Catholics.

McKevitt was listed at number 67 in the Ireland's Most Influential 100 list published by Village magazine in 2009.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland upheld two complaints against the RTÉ presenter Joe Duffy that he harassed Fr. McKevitt on air, interrupting him and treating him differently from other contributors to the Liveline show. The BAI decision forced RTÉ to make a statement of apology on 22 June 2013.

Contributors
A number of people have contributed to the newspaper's Monthly Musings include Irish poet and academic Dr. Ciarán Ó Coigligh, Bishop Kevin Doran and barrister, journalist and broadcaster Kieron Wood. Other contributors include Gerard Murphy, Peter Perrum, Tom English and former University College Dublin's Students' Union president Katie Ascough.

Legal issues over covers
In June 2015 Dina Goldstein threatened to sue the magazine for using images from her "Fallen Princesses" works without her permission. One image appeared on the cover and others throughout the magazine. Ms Goldstein said that the magazine has not contacted her for permission to use the images. She said that she could not disagree more with the sentiments in the article which used the images, that she had left a message with the magazine's office and contacted an attorney to make a formal complaint.

Max Ferdinand Bahrfeldt (), ennobled as von Bahrfeldt  in 1913 (6 February 1856, Willmine, District of Templin, Uckermark – 11 April 1936, Halle an der Saale) was a royal Prussian General of the Infantry, a local historian, and a numismatist of world renown. In the anglophone and francophone world, however, he was also notorious as the alleged perpetrator of atrocities in Charleroi, Belgium, during the German invasion of 1914.

Early life

Bahrfeldt was born into a family from Prenzlau in the Uckermark.  Joining the Corps of Cadets in 1869 he was made a Lieutenant in the 75th Infantry Regiment "Bremen" in 1873, stationed at Stade. Bahrfeldt had been interested in numismatics from his youth. He specialized in the coinage of the Roman Republic and the coins of Lower Saxony. Bahrfeldt commenced his numismatic researches while he was in the Army and he published his first numismatic essay in 1874. One year later he became co-editor of the Numismatisch-Sphragistischer Anzeiger. Zeitung für Münz-, Siegel-, und Wappenkunde (published in Hannover). 3 years later he was assigned to the post of Regimental Adjutant. During this period he served as secretary for the local historical society and curated its coin collection. He also carried out excavations at the Perleberg site of the beaker people.

On 14 October 1878 Bahrfeldt married in Gotha Elisabeth (Ella) Mary Charlotte Samwer (8 October 1859, Gotha – 19 October 1954, Frankfurt/Main), the daughter of the jurist, professor of constitutional law and author Karl Friedrich Samwer (1819–1882), who was also a numismatist. In 1883 Bahrfeldt published in Vienna from Samwer's papers the History of the Older Roman Coinage from about 200 B.C. He followed this up with further publications about the coinage issued in the region between the Elbe and the Weser. In 1879 Bahrfeldt published, based on the previous work of Wilhelm Heinrich Jobelmann and Wilhelm Wittpenning, a revised History of the City of Stade. From 1882 to 1885 he studied at the Prussian Staff College. In 1911, Bahrfeldt was granted an honorary doctorate by the philosophical faculty of the University of Giessen and from 1921 onwards was honorary professor for numismatics at the University of Halle-Wittenberg. He was awarded the medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1912.

Late military career

Bahrfeldt was promoted to Oberst in 1904, and to Generalmajor in 1908. He commanded the 37th Infantry Division from 1911 till 1913. Being promoted to Generalleutnant on 16 June 1913, Bahrfeldt was ennobled as a member of the Prussian hereditary nobility (as part of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II) and was awarded the Order of the Red Eagle 2nd class with oakleaves and the Order of the Crown 2nd class.

In August 1914, at the start of First World War, Bahrfeldt was given command of the 19th Reserve Division, part of the X. Reserve Corps and the 2nd Army. He captured Charleroi on August 22, 1914, and imposed on them the Couillet Treaty. Accused by the Allies of atrocities at Charleroi, in 1925 he was condemned to death in absentia by a Belgian court. His division participated in the Battle of St. Quentin and the following Battle of the Marne. He fought in the First Battle of Champagne and in June 1915 he was given command of the 10th Reserve Division and promoted to General der Infanterie. He led his division into the Battle of Verdun and was phased out of the Army in April 1916.

Later life

Bahrfeldt joined the Deutsche Vaterlandspartei upon its formation in 1917. In the Weimar Republic, he was a member of the conservative Deutschnationale Volkspartei and Der Stahlhelm. After the dissolution of the Stahlhelm during the Third Reich, Bahrfeldt transferred to the reserve of the SA. Max von Bahrfeldt died on 11 April 1936 in Halle.

Bahrfeldt is acknowledged as one of the greatest, possibly the greatest, student of coinage of the Roman Republic.

The Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railway Office and Freight House, simply known as the Paducah Freight House, is a historic railroad freight depot located in the southern portion of downtown Paducah, Kentucky.

In 1852 the first charter to build a railroad for Paducah was established.  Lloyd Tilghman, representative of the New Orleans & Ohio Railroad, established the first seven miles of track for Paducah, connecting the town to Florence Station, Kentucky.

The freight house was constructed in 1925 by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway in hopes of future connections with other railroads, such as the Big Four Railroad.  As such, it was built larger than it needed to be, as those connections were never built.  The station was usually used to transport fruits and vegetables that required refrigeration from trains to the private transportation of produce dealers.  The Railway was absorbed into the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1957.  In 1974 the L&N reduced their presence in Paducah and moved their workers to a different depot at 6th and Norton in Paducah.  The Johnston-Backus Brokerage Company purchased the building in November 1976.  In 1993 Johnston and Backus retired, selling it to Charles and Carolyn Simpson, who made it an antique mall.

The Freight House is a two-story brick structure with a limestone foundation.  It has a Tudor look with its Palladian-type windows and parapeted dormers and end walls.  Its different colored bricks detail the openings of the building.

The Paducah Railroad Museum is next door.  It started on the second floor of the freight house, but once the freight house was sold the museum moved to Washington and 2nd streets.

William Earle Dodge Stokes (May 22, 1852 – May 18, 1926) was an American multimillionaire who developed many buildings on New York City's Upper West Side.

Early life
Stokes was born in New York City on May 22, 1852.  He was the son of James Boulter and Caroline (née Phelps) Stokes; brother of Anson Phelps Stokes and Olivia Eggleston Phelps Stokes. One of his grandfathers was London merchant Thomas Stokes, one of the 13 founders of the London Missionary Society, and Anson Stokes later actively supported the American Bible Society, the American Tract Society and the American Peace Society. His other grandfather, Anson Greene Phelps, was a New York merchant, born in Connecticut and descended from an old Massachusetts family.

Stokes was a member of the Yale College Class of 1874. He helped purchase a corner plot at the corner of Prospect and Trumbull streets in New Haven, Connecticut, where the first Hall for Wolf's Head Society was erected in 1884. Stokes was an honorary member of the society, founded in 1883, tapped with a number of alumni who assisted the upstart students.

Career
As a young man Stokes started his career working in the family business, Phelps, Dodge & Company, a mercantile establishment founded by his grandfather Phelps and his uncle, William Earle Dodge, Sr., in the 1830s.  By the time that Stokes joined the company, it had become a mining business. He was also a share holder in the Ansonia Clock Company.  When his father died in August 1881, Stokes contested the will, sued his brother Anson for conspiring to throw him out of the family business, and gained a $1 million inheritance.  He left Phelps Dodge and, from 1885 to 1890, he developed real estate on the Upper West Side.

Property developer
After his marriage in 1895, the couple moved into one of Stokes's new developments at 262 West 72nd Street.  In 1898, Stokes began work on a new mansion at 4 East 54th Street designed by McKim, Mead and White.  As the house was nearing completion, Rita Stokes filed for divorce in 1900, and neither ever lived in the house.

In 1899, Stokes commissioned architect Paul E. Duboy (1857-1907) to build the Ansonia Hotel in Manhattan, New York. Named after Stokes' grandfather industrialist Anson Greene Phelps, the hotel opened in 1903 at 2109 Broadway between West 73rd and 74th Streets. The $3 million Ansonia had 350 suites with several restaurants, a bank, a barbershop, a ballroom, a swimming pool and full hotel services, along with an imposing Parisian-style facade of turrets and balconies.

In 1907, the New York Board of Health planned to raid the Ansonia hotel's roof and confiscate the four pet geese and a pig, called Nanki-Poo, that they had been informed that Stokes kept there.  Stokes and his butler hid the animals in the basement and convinced the inspector that the roof was animal-free.

Railroad venture
In 1900, as reported in The New York Times, Stokes bought at auction, for $25,000, the Chesapeake & Western Railroad, a bucolic venture that in an earlier incarnation, circa 1870s, was to be part of the Washington, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad, linking through the Shenandoah Valley at Harrisonburg, Virginia and into the central and southern coal producing areas of West Virginia and southern Ohio. The Chesapeake & Western had already been capitalized with $811,200 of common stock, $608,400 of preferred stock and $1,419,000 of first mortgage bonds. Stokes renamed it the Tidewater & West Virginia, but just a year later in 1901 renamed it the Chesapeake Western Railway. In an attempt to revive the plan to link more of east with west, Stokes pushed west and laid 13 miles of rail to Stokesville, west of Bridgewater in 1902, and east to Elkton. The Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains proved to be formidable obstacles to further expansion, and without serious financial backing there was no chance of true success.

Stokes' best chance for success came in the form of an offer by Colonel Henry H. Rogers, a major stakeholder in Standard Oil, who attempted to buy the 40-mile railroad from Stokes, so he could complete the route as intended, but Stokes' asking price was far too high and Rogers turned down the offer and chartered his own railroad, the Virginian Railway, which became one of the nation's most efficient and best run railroads.

Eventually, the Chesapeake Western Railway became a subsidiary of the Norfolk Southern and survives to this day, primarily linking Harrisonburg to Staunton, Virginia.

Publications
In 1917, Stoke wrote The Right to be Well Born; or, Horse Breeding in its Relation to Eugenics which was published by C. J. O'Brien in New York. In this book, Stokes, who was a horse breeder, extended his theories from the equine, advocating selective breeding in humans and the grading of men who are candidates for marriage.  He writes that the genealogical records of the working class should be kept so that prospective employers can assess their capabilities.  The book was so ill-received that the publishers sued Stokes for the recovery of their costs.

Personal life
In 1895, aged 43, Stokes married 19-year-old Rita Hernandez de Alba Acosta (1875–1929), the daughter of Cuban émigré Ricardo de Acosta.  Rita's youngest sister, Mercedes de Acosta, wrote in her autobiography that "when Rita finally decided to marry Will Stokes it was, I believe, because she felt his wealth could open doors... But she paid a high price for any material gain."  Together, Rita and William were the parents of one son, whom they called "Weddie".  According to her sister, Rita hated the child and could hardly bring herself to hold him.  In 1900, Rita filed for divorce and the settlement was said to be $2 million, a record at that time.

 William Earl Dodge Stokes Jr. (1896–1992), who ran Hotel Ansonia after he inherited the property from his father.

In 1907, Stokes was sued by a woman named Lucy Randolph for child support.  She claimed that she had met Stokes in the Ansonia and that he had told her that he wanted to have a child with her. After getting her pregnant Stokes had ignored her. Although it was proved in court that Stokes had been intimate with her, and that he had previously given her regular payments, the case against him was dismissed on a technicality.

In February 1911, Stokes, then aged 59, secretly married the 24-year-old Helen Blanche Ellwood (1885–1951).  He married in secret because when he was divorced by his first wife, Rita de Acosta Stokes, the judge had told him he could not marry again during her lifetime.  In June 1911, Stokes was shot and wounded by a 22-year-old vaudeville actress, Lillian Graham.  She claimed that Stokes had attacked her because he was angry at her refusal to return compromising letters he had written her. For his part, Stokes claimed that Graham had been trying to blackmail him and that she had attacked him when this had been unsuccessful. Graham was found not guilty. Together, William and Helen were the parents of:

 James Ellwood Stokes (d. 1998), also a developer and philanthropist.
 Helen Muriel Stokes (1915–2010), who married Charles Jules Lowen, Jr. in 1941. After his death in 1956, she married Donald F. Magarrell, who died in 1980. In 1989, she married childhood friend Gerald H. Phipps.

In 1918, Stokes filed for divorce from Helen Stokes. Stokes was represented by attorney Max Steuer, and started what proved to be a very acrimonious legal case. He claimed that she had had affairs with her cousin, his own son and at least nine other men. She stated that his witnesses were lying, and that he had had numerous affairs throughout their marriage, that with Lillian Graham being just one.  She added that he kept several dozen chickens in their apartment at the Ansonia. In February 1922 Rita de Acosta Lydig appeared before the Supreme Court of Justice on behalf of Helen Stokes, claiming that Stokes used to beat her during their marriage. In 1923, after paying $1 million in legal fees, Stokes' request for a divorce from his wife was denied; she won a counterclaim for separation. Stokes was tried for conspiracy to defame her, but was acquitted in 1925.

Stokes died on May 18, 1926, aged 74, and The New York Times noted in his obituary that, even though Stokes had been involved in "almost incessant litigation," he had left about $8 million in his will. However, in 1928 that estimate was reduced to $300,000, and even that would be erased, The Times said, "if his estate lost all the many pending lawsuits that plagued his controversial career, even after death".

Arthur John Street (3 January 1932 – 6 January 2009), better known as John Street, was an English professional snooker referee.

Street was born in Devon on 3 January 1932. During World War II he was evacuated to the north-east of England and, after the war, was hospitalised for 14 months due to tuberculosis. He started refereeing matches in 1960. His first professional refereeing role was at the 1974 World Snooker Championship and his first televised match was during the 1978 Masters. He worked for the Pearl Assurance company as an insurance agent for 18 years until leaving the role to focus on refereeing professionally. Before becoming an insurance agent, he had worked as an apprentice engineer, as a salesperson at a tailor and in a betting shop.

His final match was at the 1997 Benson & Hedges Masters final when Steve Davis defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan 10–8 after trailing 4–8. This match was interrupted by a woman streaking.

Street refereed in five World Championship finals between 1980 and 1995. He handled the 1992 final between Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry when Hendry came from 8–14 behind to win the match 18–14 by winning 10 consecutive frames.

Street was co-author of several snooker rule books. He died from lung disease in Exeter in 2009 aged 77. Street was married to Jean in 1953, and they had three children.

Shadow Wave is the twelfth novel in the CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore. It was published by Hodder Children's Books () on 26 August 2010, and features the final mission of the long-standing central character James Adams. A limited edition of Shadow Wave, with an orange cover (designed by Callum East), was made available exclusively at W.H.Smith. Details of Muchamore's plans to create a small three-book series called "Aramov" without James, were revealed via a secret website detailed on the back pages of all copies of the book.

Plot
James Adams continues to work to infiltrate Brigands M.C. and to bring down its leader Ralph "The Führer" Donnington. Kerry Chang also joins the mission to pose as an interpreter in a set-up weapons deal. The police surround them and the Führer tries to escape but ends up falling down a cliff and breaking his leg. He is taken into police custody.

James returns to CHERUB campus to attend a wedding between mission controller Chloe Blake and her fiancé. At the wedding, he is reunited with several ex-CHERUB agents and former staff members, including Kyle Blueman, Norman Large, Dana Smith and Amy Collins. Kyle finds a mission briefing for James' final mission, where he, Lauren Adams and Kevin Sumner are to act as the children of David Secombe, an important figure in the UK government who is negotiating a weapons deal with Malaysian Defence Minister Tan Abdullah. Kyle tells James about how, when he was assisting in a CHERUB basic training course in Malaysia in 2004, he met a teenager named Aizat Rakyat who told him how Abdullah was demolishing native villages to make way for building luxury hotels. In the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami, Abdullah evicts the inhabitants of Aizat's village to build more hotels on their land. James, disgusted, quits the mission and joins Kyle in a scheme to embarrass Abdullah.

James sneaks into Lauren's room and installs a tracking device in her mobile phone. As James is about to leave, he encounters Bruce, who is despondent after breaking up with his girlfriend Bethany Parker; to cheer him up, James invites him along. Together, they go and meet Helena Bayliss, runner of charity Guilt Trips, journalist Hugh Verhoeven, and former arms salesman Dion Frei, who are working to discredit Abdullah. Lauren and Kevin go on a shopping trip with the son and daughter of Tan Abdullah, and James, using the tracking device in Lauren's phone, invites protesters to their locations, embarrassing Tan Abdullah's family. Meanwhile, Frei, claiming to act on behalf of the French government, offers Abdullah a weapons deal that is more favourable than Britain's offer and secretly films Abdullah making disparaging remarks about the Malaysian Prime Minister and accepting a bribe as part of the French agreement. When Abdullah's actions are revealed to the media, Abdullah commits suicide to avoid further embarrassment. James and Bruce return to CHERUB campus and are confronted by chairwoman Zara Asker, who has deduced their involvement. However, due to the implications were CHERUB's role in Abdullah's downfall to be revealed, she decides not to take any action against them.

James leaves for Stanford University in California, and changes his name to Robert James Choke for post-CHERUB life. A year later, he returns to the UK to visit Kerry and Lauren. The three visit Gwen Choke's grave, and Kerry tells James and Lauren that their mother would be very proud of them.

In the epilogue, the Führer is sentenced to 16 years in prison for weapons smuggling, and is also charged with the quadruple murder of Dante Welsh's family; Aizat attends university with a grant from Guilt Trips; David Secombe brokers a smaller arms deal between the UK and Malaysia; Dana drops out of art college; Bethany is expelled from CHERUB for continuing a relationship with a boy she had met on a mission; Bruce, inspired by Verhoeven, plans to study journalism; Kyle continues his law studies; Gabrielle enters medical school; Lauren's father Ron Onions is released from prison and dies of cancer several months later; Kerry joins James at Stanford; and James finally meets his father, a mathematics lecturer.

Release information
The book was released on 27 August 2010 in hardback edition (2 September in some locations). The paperback version was released in May 2011. A special edition of the book was available at W H Smith with an orange cover. The book was the second in the series to be released in hardback format.

Hyundai Motorsport GmbH (HMSG; ) is a division of South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Company responsible for the brand's global motorsport activities. The company was established in December 2012 and is based in Alzenau, Germany.

Their principal activity is running the Hyundai World Rally Team in the World Rally Championship (WRC). In 2015, its customer racing division was established to provide competition machinery and services in the R5 rallying and TCR touring car motorsport categories.

History
A predecessor based in Korea, Hyundai Motor Sport, existed at least between 1998 and 2003. This was the department of Hyundai that contracted Motor Sport Developments to run campaigns in the 2-Litre Cup of the World Rally Championship with the Hyundai Coupe F2, and in the WRC Manufacturer's championship with the Hyundai Accent WRC. In September 2003, after a season hampered by budget constraints, Hyundai withdrew from the WRC, severing the partnership with MSD whilst vowing to return with an in-house operation based in Germany for 2006.

Nine years later at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Hyundai announced it would be returning to the WRC in 2014 using the i20 model built to World Rally Car specifications. As promised, on 19 December 2012 an in-house operation, Hyundai Motorsport GmbH, was established in Alzenau, Germany, responsible for the programme.

In December 2015, the Customer Racing department was established to provide rally and touring cars and services to private customers. Its first project was an R5 specification car based on the Hyundai i20 model which debuted in September 2016 at the Tour de Corse with three entries. The department has grown to provide touring cars for use in global and national competition.

Hyundai World Rally Team

HMSG developed the Hyundai i20 WRC for use in the WRC from 2014. An evolution, the i20 NG (Next Generation) was run in 2016 before being replaced in 2017 with the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC due to new regulations. In 2022, with another new set of regulations, the hybrid i20 N Rally1 was launched after a delayed and interrupted development, caused by internal turmoil and the departure of the team principal Andrea Adamo.

Juho Hänninen, Bryan Bouffier and Chris Atkinson served as development test drivers in 2013. Thierry Neuville was named lead driver for the debut World Rally Championship season, and he has remained with the team ever since the Monte-Carlo Rally in January 2014. He and Hyundai also took the team's first victory at that year's Rallye Deutschland. Dani Sordo is also a long-time team servant though has not contested as many rallies. Other drivers have included Hayden Paddon, Kevin Abbring, Andreas Mikkelsen, Sébastien Loeb, Craig Breen, Ott Tänak and Oliver Solberg.

Hyundai Motorsport won the 2019 Manufacturer's championship title, and repeated the feat in 2020.

WRC2

Hyundai's 2023 WRC2 campaign is being run by French racing company, 2C Compétition using Hyundai i20 N Rally2 cars. In 2022, Estonian based RedGrey Team (former MM Motorsport) were contracted to enter WRC2 on Hyundai's behalf. Whilst 2C Compétition and RedGrey could be considered Rally2 car customers of HMSG, in return Hyundai are considered customers of their operational services. RedGrey is also part-owned by Ott Tänak, who in 2022 was a contracted Hyundai World Rally Team driver.

Rally

Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
Pierre-Louis Loubet, Ole Cristian Veiby, Oliver Solberg, Nils Solans and Ken Block have all driven the World Rally Car on behalf of independent team, 2C Compétition.

Hyundai i20 R5

Hyundai Motorsport developed the i20 R5 car in 2016 for use in various national and regional championships such as World Rally Championship-2, European Rally Championship and Tour European Rally.

The car was first tested in January 2016 and made its competitive debut in the WRC2 class at Tour de Corse.

The i20 R5 quickly made a name for itself, taking wins and championships in local and regional championships around the world.

Hyundai i20 N Rally2

The Hyundai i20 N Rally2 is a rally car developed and built by Hyundai Motorsport to Group Rally2 specifications. It is the successor to Hyundai i20 R5.

The car was debuted at the 2021 Ypres Rally.

TCR

Hyundai i30 N TCR

In early 2017 Hyundai Motorsport announced it was developing an i30 N touring car based on TCR regulation. The car made its debut in the Touring Car Endurance Series 24h of Misano before being made available to customers by the end of the year.

For the 2018 World Touring Car Cup(WTCR), two teams entered the Hyundai i30 N TCR: YMR with Yvan Muller and Thed Björk, and BRC Racing Team with Gabriele Tarquini and Norbert Michelisz. Tarquini clinched the inaugural WTCR Driver's Championship, and YMR secured the Teams' Championship.

BRC Racing Team entered four i30 N TCR cars in to the 2019 World Touring Car Cup season. Reigning drivers’ champion Tarquini and teammate Michelisz returned to compete with BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse team. Newcomers to WTCR Augusto Farfus and Nicky Catsburg signed to BRC Hyundai N LUKOIL Racing Team for the season.

The i30 N TCR won the USAC Pirelli World Challenge TCR class in 2018 with Bryan Herta Autosport in owner and manufacturer championships.

Veloster N TCR
Hyundai added the Hyundai Veloster, a car sold in some markets where the i30 is not sold, as a TCR option in 2019. The Veloster N competed in the 2019 Michelin Pilot Challenge and the 2019 24 Hours Nürburgring under the Hyundai Motorsport N marque alongside a Hyundai i30 N TCR. Both cars finished on the podium of the TCR class.

An electrical version of the car – Veloster ETCR, was unveiled in 2020 to compete in the Pure ETCR championship starting from 2021.

Elantra N TCR

In 2020 a third car, based on the TCR regulations, was unveiled by Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing based on the Hyundai Elantra saloon model. The car made its competitive debut at the 2021 Michelin Pilot Challenge season opener at the Daytona International Speedway.

Agnus McVee was said to be a Canadian serial killer. McVee ran a hotel and store at 108 Mile House on the Cariboo Wagon Road from 1875 to 1885 during the Cariboo Gold Rush. Along with her husband Jim McVee and her son-in-law Al Riley, she is said to have killed many miners for their gold and kidnapped women for sale to miners as white slaves. The story has achieved local prominence, but documentary evidence is absent.

Her story was the subject of the 2019 graphic novel Agnes, Murderess by Canadian writer Sarah Leavitt.

Crimes
The actions attributed to Agnus McVee and her accomplices are multiple murders, kidnappings, torture, and white slavery. The murders were of traveling gold miners (most likely killed for their gold). The kidnappings were of eight young women who were tied up in the hotel basement. The women were mistreated until they were obedient and then sold to miners.

Capture and punishment
The story goes that a miner, Jim MacDonald, wished to buy a young girl from the McVees. Agnus agreed to sell MacDonald a 17-year-old girl. The next morning, Jim McVee followed MacDonald down the Cariboo Wagon Road. McVee murdered MacDonald and took all his money. The next morning, Agnus McVee poisoned her husband in retaliation for this murder. The girl, however, was able to escape and to identify Jim McVee to the North West Mounted Police.

Upon investigation, the police found McVee, Al Riley (her brother-in-law), Jim McVee's body, and eight young girls in the basement of the McVee's hotel. The police arrested McVee and Riley and the pair were taken to Fort Kamloops. They were charged and convicted of murder and kidnapping. They were then transported to New Westminster and incarcerated in the New Westminster jail. McVee killed herself in 1885 while in the jail by swallowing poison. Riley was hanged shortly after.

Controversy
The Agnus McVee story seems to have originated from a single source: According to Maryanne Rutledge, president of the 100 Mile and District Historical Society, the story comes from an out-of-publication booklet titled "Lost Treasure in BC #3" by Larry Lazeo of Fort Langley. The author received the details from an old-timer.

The tale has become widespread in the 100 Mile district and has expanded beyond it. In 2006, Red Barn Productions filmed the story for CTV's Travel and Discovery series, intended for satellite broadcast in late September or October 2006. The story is also on a BC Government web page of historical information.

One form of evidence that is sometimes given is that caches of gold have been found in the area. Rutledge states "In 1929, there was a farmer who unearthed a cache of gold in bags. More recently, when a nearby airport was built, excavation dug up a sum of cash from that era."

However, documentary evidence for the story is absent. An article by Greg Joyce in the Prince George Citizen newspaper discusses the story of the McVee murders. He states that there are no documents of ownership of the 108 Mile Hotel during the decade that McVee is supposed to have run it. Missing persons records do not list anyone who lodged at the hotel between 1875 and 1885 as reported missing. No police records of the arrest or trial have been found "despite Rutledge's extensive searches in Kamloops, New Westminster, and in the provincial archives in Victoria." Furthermore, there are no death certificates for either McVee or Riley.
