Isidoro Grünhut (27 August 1862, Trieste – 5 May 1896, Florence) was an Italian painter of Jewish ancestry; known for genre scenes and portraits.

Biography

His father, Israel, was originally from Regensburg. His mother, Giuditta née Panzieri, was from an upper-class family in Ancona. He displayed artistic talent at an early age, but his father was opposed to his pursuit of that as a career. At the age of sixteen, he rebelled, running away from home to join up with an "impresario" named Benelli; providing drawings in return for his upkeep. The constant travelling, long hours and poor food undermined his already precarious health; having suffered a childhood fall that damaged his back. He eventually developed a chronic heart condition, and was forced to quit.

Around 1880, after a brief stay in Trieste, he was able to enroll at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, where he studied with Pompeo Marino Molmenti. After two years, he transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. There, he met two other students from Trieste; Carlo Wostry and Umberto Veruda, whose recollections provide much of what is known about him up to this period. In 1884, new health problems forced him to quit attending school and work as an itinerant portrait painter. He left Munich in 1886 and returned to Trieste.

In 1888, he participated in a competition in Bologna, but was denied a prize because he lacked Italian citizenship; Trieste being part of Austria-Hungary at that time. He was also rejected for a scholarship that would have allowed him to study in Rome, but was able to gain financial support from Baron Giuseppe Morpurgo (1816-1898), head curator at the Museo Revoltella.

While in Rome, he was able to attract a permanent patron, Count Alessandro Lotteringhi della Stufa, who offered him room to set up a studio at the family palace in Florence. There, he gained numerous clients among the aristocracy, but much of his work from that time is unknown, as it remains in private collections. He left there in 1891, to travel, although he went back occasionally, and returned in 1893. During this period, he painted little, focusing on caricatures, and lived a very disorganized life. He also contracted an unhappy marriage, with Irene Fabbricotti, a young woman from Tuscany, who gave him two daughters.

Count Lotteringhi died in 1895, and his heirs took away the studio. Left without that resource, Grünhut's livelihood was precarious and he became more unruly. His excesses led to a physical and mental collapse; leaving him paralyzed and leading to his death; aged only thirty-three.

Oak Creek High School is a public four-year high school located in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. It is the sole high school of the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, and one of the largest public schools in the state.

History
Oak Creek High School was built in 1961 at a cost of over $3 million. The school was renovated in 2001 alongside additions. In 2012 the football stadium was enlarged and fitted with synthetic turf. In 2017 the Ninth Grade Center was completed, costing $36 million. In 2021 the Oak Creek Performing Arts Education Center was completed, alongside renovated and new career and technical education facilities.

The high school was involved in a federal lawsuit, Butler v. Oak Creek-Franklin School District, 172 F.Supp.2d 1102, involving the school's athletic code. The case involved claims for violation of constitutional due process and state constitutional rights arising from suspension of a high school student.

Assistant Principal Kimberly Leannais kept her job following her 3rd OWI in 2017.

Michael Jossie, a former special education teacher and basketball coach, pleaded guilty of second degree sexual assault of a child (under 16 years of age). Jossie was caught by cleaning staff engaging in sexual activity with a female student after school.

Rachel Goodle is a former teacher at Oak Creek High School who became the subject of controversy and a police investigation regarding her inappropriate relationship with a student. The case was brought to light when the Oak Creek Police Department referred it to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office for criminal charges Chief David Stecker of the Oak Creek Police Department confirmed that they conducted an investigation into the alleged actions of Rachel Elizabeth Goodle and the student involved, who is a minor and was a High school Freshmen who was 14. As a result of their investigation, the case was subsequently referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office for further review, Upon questioning by the OCPD regarding the rumors of an inappropriate relationship between himself and Goodle, the student reportedly confirmed that "something did happen." This acknowledgment added weight to the ongoing investigation and the seriousness of the allegations criminal complaint specified that the surveillance footage provided visual evidence of what appeared to be a "close relationship" between Rachel Goodle and the student in question. Notably, the footage captured a specific incident on December 2, 2022.  Rachel Goodle filed a lawsuit against the school district with the intention of preventing the release of public records pertaining to her conduct. This legal action was in response to a records request from FOX6 News, which sought access to relevant documents. The lawsuit highlighted the complexity and sensitivity surrounding the case, as both legal and ethical considerations came into play in relation to the handling of public information and the preservation of the accused's rights.

Mucking is an archaeological site near the village of Mucking in southern Essex. The site contains remains dating from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages—a period of some 3,000 years—and the Bronze Age and Anglo-Saxon features are particularly notable.

Major excavations took place at the site between 1965 and 1978, directed by Margaret Ursula Jones. Covering an area of 18 hectares (44 acres), at the time it was the largest archaeological excavation in Europe, and is the largest excavation ever undertaken in the British Isles. Excavation continued year-round to stay ahead of gravel extraction that was rapidly destroying the site, accumulating an "astonishing" volume of material. Only a fraction of this was analysed or published in Jones' lifetime, and ultimately the bulk of the post-excavation work was left to others. The first volume of a "full publication" was not published until 2015, by which point the post-excavation phase had cost significantly more than the initial excavation. This led some to criticise Mucking as an irresponsible, "excavation without publication".

Location and discovery
The site was on the  gravel terrace, close to the north bank of the Thames, and was owned by Surridge Disposals Ltd. There were a number of other Saxon settlements in the vicinity - see list of archaeological sites in Thurrock. The site was discovered as a result of aerial photographs showing cropmarks and soil marks. The earliest photographs to reveal the site were taken by the Luftwaffe in 1943. However, these were not readily available to archaeologists. The importance of the site was recognised following photographs taken by Dr JK St. Joseph of Cambridge University on 16 June 1959, although these photos were not published until 1964. The tenant farmer (T Lindsey) remarked that crop marks for archaeologists were his best crop. Following publication of the crop mark photos, DG Macleod of Prittlewell Museum and DA Whickham, Chief Librarian for Thurrock realized the site was threatened by gravel extraction and instigated the scheduling of the site under the Ancient Monuments Act.

An earlier small-scale investigation had been carried out by members of the Thurrock Local History Society, under Ken Barton, on the western side of Buckingham Hill Road, as a result of field walking finds rather than aerial photographs. In late 1965, Margaret Jones was asked to carry out a brief exploratory excavation at a site, then known as Linford, which was slowly being destroyed as a result of gravel digging by Hoveringham Gravels Ltd.

Jones' excavations (1965–1978)

As a result of this exploratory dig, and of the earlier investigations, Jones' contract was extended and she was appointed director of the full scale excavations. She was joined by her husband Tom and in 1965 (after the crops had been harvested) they began the mammoth task that was to last for the next 14 years on the Mucking hill top. The excavation was unusual in that it continued through the winter, unlike most excavations which only took place in the summer. The need to stay ahead of the gravel extraction sometimes meant softening the frozen ground with a blow torch to enable a find to be lifted in time.

The Joneses were assisted by many younger archaeologists and 'volunteers' from Britain and abroad including more than 3,000 students from many countries. The volunteers lived mainly in tents during the warmer months, but in the winter, occupied old caravans and sheds. The organisation of the camp, the feeding, the pay and the volunteers' welfare involved many individuals guided by terse memos signed by the initials 'muj'. Jones sometimes commented that it was more like a holiday camp than an archaeological dig. In the final stages of the dig, volunteers were supplemented by local unemployed people, funded by a government job creation scheme. Without this extra assistance, the excavation might not have been completed.

Jones died in 2001. The Independent of 31 March 2001 carried an obituary which said 'for a generation of respectable middle-aged archaeologists ... to have dug with Margaret Jones at Mucking remains a badge of honour'. In her will, she left money to fund fieldwork or research related to the Mucking excavations or for landscape archaeology covering the same periods as Mucking.

Post-excavation and publication
Initial post-excavation analysis took place at the Thurrock Museum and Library from 1978 to 1985. This phase consumed funding of approximately £250,000, compared with £85,000 for the excavations themselves. Post-excavation analysis was hampered by the scale of the excavation and its finds and by the changing expectation of what constituted an excavation archive. The primary archive consisted of 363 notebooks. By the time publication was complete, it was no longer appropriate to provide a narrative and conclusions by the excavator. Instead, it was required that an excavation archive should provide the data to enable a future complete reinterpretation of the finds and alternative conclusions.

The dig was financed by the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments in the Department of the Environment (a precursor to English Heritage). The dig was criticised in some quarters as "excavation without publication", but Jones defended the need to excavate everything ahead of the gravel extraction and refused to spend valuable time preparing results for publication. Hamerow acknowledges that small-scale sample excavations would not have revealed important features of the site – for example that it was a single settlement, the location of which moved over time rather than separate early and later settlements. Three volumes of excavation results were published by 2009. The Cambridge Archaeological Unit agreed to complete the publication of the excavation reports on the Roman and pre-Roman periods, the first of which was published in December 2015. Initial finance was allocated for this by English Heritage via the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). As a result of the delays in preparing for publication, some computer files could not initially be read. More sophisticated data salvage techniques were able to recover more than a million grid references to finds.

Results

The excavation found more than 44,000 archaeological features. These included isolated graves and pits from the Neolithic and a hill fort from the Bronze Age. There were also more than 100 Iron Age round houses and a Romano-British cemetery. The excavations revealed substantial indications of a high status Romano-British building (that Jones had "no doubt" was a villa), located either within the excavation or nearby.

The Anglo-Saxon settlement
Some analysis suggested that the site had been abandoned by the Romano-British during the 4th century and there was a gap before the Saxon occupation of the site began in the early 5th century. However, "the site’s Late Roman pottery evidence suggests that the Saxons got there very early – possibly even in the later decades of the fourth century". Whether late 4th or early 5th century, this was among the earliest Anglo-Saxon settlements in England. The Anglo-Saxon settlement gradually moved north over the course of two hundred years after its establishment. During or after the 8th century, the settlement was either abandoned, or drifted beyond the area that was excavated. The area previously occupied by the Anglo-Saxon settlement became part of a Saxo-Norman field system.

More than 200 Anglo-Saxon sunken featured buildings (Grubenhaus) were excavated, together with nearly a dozen large timber buildings. These more substantial halls were up to  long and  wide with entrances in the middle of both longer sides. There was some evidence of enclosures that may have been animal pens.

The Anglo-Saxon cemeteries
There were more than 800 burials in the Anglo-Saxon cemeteries ranging in date from the early 5th to the 7th century. Two cemeteries were excavated, although one of them had already been partially destroyed by gravel working. Cemetery II contained cremation and inhumation graves, while cemetery I contained only inhumations. Cemetery II (the undamaged cemetery) contained graves from which 125 brooches were recovered, allowing the reconstruction of Anglo-Saxon dress styles. The cemeteries were not used after the middle 7th century although the settlement continued in to the 8th century. Later burials may have been at a Christian cemetery associated with Cedd's minster church at Tilbury.

Finds
In addition to the brooches, other finds from the settlement and cemeteries included 5th century domestic Anglo-Saxon pottery and late Roman military belt fittings in the Quoit Brooch Style. More than 5,000 items were donated to the British Museum by the landowners. Some of the original finds from the excavation are displayed in the British Museum, and others are in storage. Some replica finds are in the Thurrock Museum.

Significance
While the finds from other periods are of some interest, it is as an Anglo-Saxon site that Mucking is most significant. Unlike Sutton Hoo or the Royal Saxon tomb in Prittlewell, the dig provided significant information about living and working conditions for people below the status of kings or princes. It was the first time an excavation had covered both a Saxon settlement and its associated cemetery.

Results from the Mucking excavation have been extensively used in illustrating and debating archaeological issues. For example, before the dig was completed, hand-made pottery was illustrated almost entirely by sherds from Mucking in The Archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England by David M. Wilson. Many other authors have used the results. Christopher Arnold and P. Wardle used evidence from Mucking to support the idea that there was a major shift in the location of Anglo-Saxon settlements in the 8th century, from lighter to heavier, but more productive soils. However, Stephen Rippon argued that the later phases of occupation at Mucking had not been excavated. Similarly, results from Mucking have been used in the debate on the numbers of incoming Anglo-Saxons at the end of the Roman period. For example, Della Hooke and others have used the quality of soil at Mucking to suggest that incoming Anglo-Saxons  were forced by the local inhabitants to settle on the poorest agricultural land. On the other hand, Myres puts forward the view that the site was chosen by the London authorities "to provide early warning of strange vessels sailing up the river with hostile intent". The discovery of a "Roman style" military buckle in an Anglo-Saxon grave at Mucking has been used to argue for continuity between the Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement.

Hadia Tajik (born 18 July 1983) is a Pakistani-Norwegian jurist, journalist and politician from the Labour Party. She served as Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion from 2021 to 2022. She previously served as Minister of Culture from 2012 to 2013. She was 29 years of age at the time and became the youngest minister to serve in the Norwegian government. She is the first Cabinet member that is a Muslim.  Tajik has served as a Member of Parliament representing Rogaland since 2017, and Oslo from 2009 to 2017. She was also the party's deputy leader from 2015 until 2022.

Early life and education
Hadia Tajik was born on 18 July 1983 in the village of Bjørheimsbygd in Strand, Rogaland, to Mohammad Sarwar Tajik (born 1947) and Safia Qazalbash (born 1948), immigrants from Pakistan in the early 1970s. After completing Bjørheimsbygd Primary School as one of only seven pupils, she attended Tau Lower Secondary School between 1996 and 1998 and later Strand Upper Secondary School from 1998 to 2001.

She has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Stavanger University College, after which she studied human rights at Kingston University in England from 2004 to 2005, earning a Master's degree. She subsequently enrolled in and studied law at the University of Oslo receiving her Master of Law degree in 2012.

Political career

Tajik was active in politics from an early age, and was the leader of the Strand chapter of the Workers' Youth League (AUF) from 1999 to 2002, before becoming deputy leader of the Rogaland AUF from until 2003. She served as an advisor for the Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion, Bjarne Håkon Hanssen, from 2006 to 2008. In 2008 she temporarily held the position of advisor to the Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Subsequently, from 2008 to 2009, she served as political advisor to the Minister of Justice, Knut Storberget.

While serving under Storberget, she was accused of being involved in the so-called hijab-affair. The incident occurred when the Ministry of Justice withdrew a proposal to allow female police officers to wear the hijab in the service, as a result of fierce uproar.
The proposal was authored by Tajik and fellow state secretary Astri Aas-Hansen, and the final decision was allegedly made by them without consulting Storberget. The allegations were never confirmed, but when the ministry announced its decision, the media felt the minister left the impression that the two women were to blame. Later, in 2009, she again served as an advisor for the Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion.

In March 2022, Gunnar Stavrum said that Tajik was the Støre Cabinet's minister that had accomplished the most, and who had opened for changes that are popular with the left wing - such as prohibiting temporary service agencies and rental of labour.

Member of Parliament
On 14 September 2009, Tajik was elected Member of Parliament for the Norwegian Labour Party. Representing Oslo, she was listed as candidate number six on the Labour ticket, which was considered a safe seat. During her tenure in parliament, she was a member of the Standing Committee on Education, Research and Church Affairs as well as the Election committee. She has been nominated in second spot on the Oslo Labour party ballot for the 2013 Norwegian parliamentary election. After the 2013 parliamentary elections and the fall of the Labour-led government, Tajik retained her seat in the Storting from Oslo. She was subsequently named as leader of the Standing Committee on Justice, which is considered one of the most prestigious posts in the Storting.

Minister of Culture
On 21 September 2012, as part of a larger cabinet reshuffle, prime minister Jens Stoltenberg announced that Tajik would become the new Minister of Culture. She replaced Anniken Huitfeldt who became the new Minister of Labour and Social affairs. At the time, she was the youngest ever to become a minister in Norway (at 29), and her appointment made her the first Muslim to serve in the Norwegian cabinet.

She resigned in the fall of 2013, along with the rest of the cabinet following the electoral defeat in the 2013 parliamentary elections.

Tajik is an enthusiastic user of social media, and an avid supporter of E-books, and as a result she was often called Norway's "first digital Minister of Culture".

Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion
On 14 October 2021, Tajik was appointed minister of labour, social inclusion and integration in Støre's Cabinet.

A few days after her appointment, Tajik reiterated that the government would be open to put in special rules regarding hiring in certain workplaces. She also said it was important for the government to do it in a proper and thorough way, while also conducting law work beforehand.

After pilots that were terminated by SAS start to demand their jobs back following the COVID-19 pandemic, Tajik stated: “We have seen that workers who are well qualified experience that the company creates a new subsidiary, where they have to apply for their position again. It is not a neat way to do it, and a situation that we want to avoid. The SAS conflict raises this issue”. The pilots and remaining staff were unable to get their jobs, and were required to apply for their original jobs again. Tajik further said that she would be working with her other Nordic counterparts in a call for tether cooperation. She expressed understanding regarding the situation and said that the government would also work to strengthen workers’ rights.

On 15 November, Tajik and Minister of Transport Jon-Ivar Nygård met the head of SAS Norway, Kjetil Håbjørg, regarding the ongoing conflict with its staff. Tajik questioned Håbjørg why the pilots and other staff had little confidence in the leadership. Tajik also indicated that she would not back down on the matter, and explained that she wanted to take the effected staff into account.

On 2 December, Tajik announced that she would introduce pension for the first kroner for those over the age of 13, starting in 2022. Of the change, she said: “We are now changing this, in that everyone over the age of 13 receives earnings from the first kroner they earn - they do not have to wait until they have earned 106,000 kroner.  And you get it no matter how small a position fraction you have”.

On 14 December, Tajik attended a press conference alongside Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, Jan Christian Vestre and Anette Trettebergstuen to present the government's economic COVID-19 measures. In regards to her field of responsibility, Tajik announced that the government is extending the legal basis for advance payment of unemployment benefits, so that those who need money would receive them. She also announced that there would be a continuation of the legal authority that ensures advance payment of unemployment benefits, if necessary. She stated: “We do not want people to go into Christmas with a lump in their stomach.  These are days for which this welfare state exists”. Tajik went on to say: “This has two purposes: Securing people who are unable to work due to infection control measures, so that they have an income they can live on - and ensure more social justice”.

On 31 December, Tajik announced that the government would give labour unions access to collective redress. She said that the government wanted to strengthen the workers’ power over their everyday lives. The reintroduction of collective redress received mixed reception from labour organisations, with some praising it and some opposing it due to the risk of conflict that could arise. Tajik rejected the suggestion of increased level of conflict, saying: “I register that the central supervisors, Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority and Petroleum Safety Authority, do not share NHO's assessment. They support the proposal and believe it can complement their oversight. I emphasize the auditors' experience”.

In January 2022, she and transport minister Jon-Ivar Nygård announced that the government would take action against “workplace crime” in the transport sector. Tajik assessed that a driver who is tired, underpaid and overworked is “a dangerous driver for everyone”. She also cited that drivers were “wrongly asked” to behave like independent self-employed.

On 17 January, Tajik announced that she had asked the Petroleum Safety Authority and the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority to impose more fines against unserious actors. This would also include more fees and increased punishment.

In February, she expressed sympathy and understanding for the difficult situation faced by the effected victims of the social security scandal that happened under the previous government. She did however not make any promises in order to help the victims. Instead, she encouraged people who thought they might have been effected by the scandal, to get in touch with the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration.

At a press conference on 2 March, she announced that she had asked to resign as minister after further developments regarding two controversies: avoiding tax on a fringe benefit - and her use (in 2019) of a government apartment. She formally resigned on 4 March.

Controversies

Government apartment
In a 18 February 2022 post on her Facebook page, Tajik accused Aftenposten for wanting to make a scandal out of her usage of a parliamentary apartment in 2019. She said that Aftenposten had forced her to admit that she misused the system for three months in 2019 or openly discuss her security situation, the latter which she refused to discuss. Trine Eilertsen, the editor for Aftenposten, replied (on Tajik's Facebook page) that Aftenposten had tried to get an interview with Tajik since 31 January, and Tajik only wanted to give answers in writing.

On 21 February, Marianne Andreassen, a civil servant and chief of parliament's administrative office, said that [... the office] should have taken a closer look, before use of the apartment was given to Tajik.

Avoiding tax on a fringe benefit
On 20 February 2022, Verdens Gang revealed that Tajik in 2006 had used a rental contract for an apartment in Rogaland, to avoid paying tax on use of a government apartment in Oslo; she never used or paid for the apartment in Rogaland, and the authorities were never informed. On 22 February, Trygve Hegnar, the chief editor of Finansavisen, said that the case was one of cheating and fraud to avoid paying tax. Later that day, the Office of the Prime Minister (SMK) confirmed that the rental contract (from Rogaland) was the reason that she had been exempted from being taxed on the use of the government apartment. The same day, Kristin Clemet said that Tajik omitted informing SMK - her employer (in 2006) - even though Tajik knew that she had information that was of relevance to her "tax situation". On 23 February, prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre was asked if he was informed about the use of the rental contract (from Rogaland) during the vetting before she became a cabinet member; something he refused to comment. Gunnar Stavrum, the editor of Nettavisen, said that she apparently wrongfully avoided paying tax, and estimated that her profit was around 100,000 to 150,000 Norwegian kroner. On 23 February, Tajik said that she is going to pay tax on the amount that was her benefit for having a government apartment during 2006–2010. Later that day, Eivind Furuseth (expert on tax law) said that had the matter gone to trial (prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations), then the outcome could have been a prison sentence.

In 2006 she was a political advisor to then labour minister Bjarne Håkon Hanssen.

Other
On 22 July 2011, Tajik was visiting the Workers' Youth League summer camp at Utøya together with former prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland. They left a few hours before Anders Behring Breivik arrived, thus narrowly avoiding the massacre.

Tajik was chosen as one of the two deputy leaders of the party at the national party congress in 2015. On 6 March 2022, two days after resigning as minister of labour and social inclusion, Tajik announced that she also would be resigning as deputy leader.

Tajik became the first woman of a minority background to be listed as the most powerful woman in Norway, in a list by Kapital in November 2021.

Personal life
Hadia Tajik was married to Stefan Heggelund, a communications consultant and politician for the Conservative Party. They decided to make their relationship public because there was a chance they would both be elected to Parliament in the 2013 election. Both Tajik and Heggelund were subsequently elected as MPs. On 26 June 2014, the couple announced that they were getting married, in a private wedding ceremony on 28 June 2014. Tajik and Heggelund had their wedding at the hotel The Thief in Oslo, with a number of politicians from the Labour and Conservative parties amongst the guest. They announced their divorce in February 2016.

Tajik announced in November 2018 that she had started dating Kristian Skard, a reporter from Dagens Næringsliv, who notably stood behind some of the revelations that led to Labour Party deputy Trond Giske resigning. Skard announced in May 2019 that he had proposed to Tajik, and she had accepted. They were originally meant to have their wedding on 22 August 2020, but it was postponed to 19 June 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In January 2021, she gave birth to their daughter, Sofia.

Tajik describes herself as a Muslim, although non-practicing, saying "I am a politician, who happens to be Muslim, but I am not a Muslim politician."

John Underhill (1574–1608) was the son of Thomas Underhill and grandson of Sir Hugh Underhill, two figures favored under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. He would later have to emigrate to Holland to escape persecution.

John Underhill was born in 1574 at Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, the son of Thomas Underhill and Magdalen Amyas. He first married Mary Moseley (born 1580) who lived at Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Following her death he married his second wife Leonora Honor Pawley in 1595 at the age of 21. Pawley had been born in 1575 at Uny Lelant, Cornwall, England.

Of their three children, two daughters - Petronella and Lettice, are both recorded to have been born in 1593. Their son, the future Captain John Underhill, was born 7 October 1597 in Baginton, Warwickshire, England.

John Underhill was a friend and companion to the Earls of Leicester and Essex, and while a youth held a commission in the Earl of Leicester's own Troop of Guards, that was sent to the assistance of the Dutch by Queen Elizabeth I. When the Netherlands offered their sovereignty to the Earl of Leicester, John Underhill was the bearer of confidential dispatches to Lord Burleigh, the Queen's Minister.

The Queen sent for Underhill and had a private interview. There she instructed him to deliver a confidential letter to Leicester. Soon afterward the Earl resigned and returned to England. Underhill after the fall and death of Leicester attached himself to the Earl of Essex. He accompanied Essex on a successful attack on Cadiz, Spain, and shared his ill fortune on a campaign against Tyronne and the revolted class in Ireland. For his gallant conduct he was knighted by Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, the Earl of Essex rose in insurrection against the Queen. Essex was subsequently executed and Underhill left for the safety of Holland until the accession of King James in 1603, when he applied for pardon and leave to return to his native country. His request being denied, he remained in The Netherlands a number of years thereafter, in the company of a group of pious Puritans under the Rev. Mr. Robinson who had fled persecution in England. They lived in Bergen op Zoom, a heavily fortified city in The Netherlands. There John Underhill was Sergeant in the Company of Captain Roget Orme. He died there in October 1608 and is buried in the Gertrudiskerk.

Of his remaining family members, two are known to have emigrated to America. His wife Lenora Honor Pawley died on 18 December 1658 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island. And his son Captain John Underhill emigrated with the Puritans to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 and died in Oyster Bay, New York in 1672.

Famous descendants
Captain John Underhill, great-grandson of Hugh Underhill, would emigrate from England to The Netherlands with his family, and then from The Netherlands to the Massachusetts Bay Colony where he became a leading figure in Colonial America.

Myron Charles Taylor, America's leading industrialist, and a key diplomatic figure at the hub of many of the most important geopolitical events before, during, and after World War II. Also eighth generation descended from Captain John Underhill.

Amelia Earhart, American aviation pioneer and author famous for her mysterious disappearance.

Docuverse is a global distributed electronic library of interconnected documents, in other words, a global metadocument. The term was coined by Ted Nelson in 1974, as a concept related to the Project Xanadu, and the World Wide Web later nominally fulfilled a subset of the aspects of Nelson's vision.

The Mystery of the Yeti is a Goa trance concept album conceived and arranged by Ron Rothfield (a.k.a. Raja Ram). It was collaboratively produced by Raja Ram and Graham Wood of The Infinity Project; Stéphane Holweck, Loïc Van Poucke, and Serge Souque (the founding members of Total Eclipse); and Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen).

The Mystery of the Yeti was an early and influential concept album in psychedelic trance music. Three years after recording it, all the Mystery of the Yeti artists, except for Graham Wood, collaborated on a follow-up album: The Mystery of the Yeti, Part 2 (1999).

In 2004, Raja Ram's record label TIP.World Records re-released The Mystery of the Yeti and The Infinity Project's Mystical Experiences (1995) as a double album.

Imagery and themes

Narrative
The Mystery of the Yeti is the musical score to a short story written by Raja Ram and trance DJ Chicago (both of whom were later among the members of 1200 Micrograms). The story, called "Who or What Is the 'Yeti'?", is printed in the liner notes of the album. Each of the album's four tracks conveys a part of the story.

Summary of "Who or What Is the 'Yeti'?"
In twelve Himalayan villages, twelve "elder mystics" each dream that there is a connection between the yeti and extraterrestrial life. With visions to guide them, the elders lead 2000 people from their upland villages higher into the mountains by starlight. At dawn, they sound bejeweled dungchen (long trumpets) to accompany the chants of om by the monks who remain in the villages below. When the echoes recede, the elders sound a gong and merrily continue their journey.

The travelers make music as they go. They cross a swiftly-flowing river in canoes, and pass through "the tunnel of Dead Spirits", where they hear strange voices and other curious sounds. After braving a fierce thunderstorm, they smoke a sacrament, resume their rhythmic music-making, and enter a trance. The music has a mysterious effect on them. The crowd of 2000 simultaneously shouts in joy. Carrying torches, they arrange themselves into a giant mandala.

Their focused attention summons a shaman who levitates above them. The shaman, radiating multicolored light, performs an ecstatic dance. Beams and discs of light pass through the people, who suddenly understand the yeti. The light fills their minds with poetry and music. Spontaneously, they awaken to the cosmic consciousness. The shaman shows them the yeti, who is a wise and compassionate extraterrestrial being. The yeti's form changes to an elaborate geometric pattern, and merges with the shaman. In a flash they disappear, replaced with a vessel that can travel through other dimensions of cosmic consciousness.

Album art
The album cover illustrates a scene from the climax of the story "Who or What Is the 'Yeti'?", and uses various interconnected symbols concerning Shiva, the chakras, and the mind. The paintings are by visionary artists Brahma Templeman and Lahiri. The computer graphics were designed by Barnaby Gorton.

On the album cover, a yeti hovers in the lotus position. Glowing emblems in front of his body represent five of the chakra (centers of vital energy): The root chakra, the sacral chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, and the brow chakra (or third eye). His multicolored hair suggests activation of the crown chakra, which symbolizes the higher consciousness that comes with freedom from illusion, or maya.

In his right hand he holds a lingam, a stone symbol of Shiva; in his left is a trishula, a symbolic trident with numerous meanings. It represents Shiva's power over the "three worlds" (trailokya), the "three times", and the "three evils". Shiva wields the trishula to destroy trailokya, replacing it with satcitananda, the blissful experience of the universal mind. This triumph occurs in a person's own bodymind through great attainment.

Insofar as it pertains to the human body, the trishula refers to the brow chakra as the junction of the three main nāḍi (subtle energy channels). The center prong extends higher because it represents shushmana, an energy channel that continues to the crown chakra. In the album's title, the letter Y in Yeti is actually the Greek capital letter psi (Ψ), which resembles a trishula.

The symbol on the monolithic lingam at the base of the mountain is a tripundra, a mark warn on the forehead to indicate a belief that Shiva is the Ishvara, or Supreme Being. The three horizontal lines represent the soul's three bonds: maya, karma, and anava. The lines are drawn with a paste mixed from water and vibhuti (consecrated ash from burnt cow dung), as a reminder that merging with the divine is urgent since the physical body is impermanent. The dot in the center is a bindu. When placed on the forehead, it indicates the third eye. It also symbolizes the unmanifest, from which the cosmos emerges, as well as the point at which the many becomes one.

Central Goods railway station was a goods-only railway station in central Birmingham, England, on a spur connected to the Birmingham West Suburban Railway, which ran via a tunnel under the Worcester and Birmingham Canal which it was adjacent to. The station was opened by the Midland Railway on 1 July 1887. It was originally known as Worcester Wharf due to it being located next to the canal, its proximity to which allowed for transshipment with canal barges, the name was changed on 31 May 1892. It initially had facilities to handle 375 wagons, but was expanded gradually over the next fifteen years. It was located in approximately the intended location for the terminal station of the Birmingham West Suburban Railway but which was unable to raise the funds for the planned viaduct over the canal.

In 1923 the depot was taken over by the newly amalgamated London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and in 1948 by the nationalised British Railways (later British Rail).

From the 1940s onwards, competition from road transport led to a decline in the use of rail freight. In its later years, the depot mostly handled parcels traffic. It eventually closed on 6 March 1967. The spur line leading to it was permanently closed two years later.

The site was later occupied by a Royal Mail sorting office, and is now partly occupied by The Mailbox shopping centre and office development.

The Scottish Women's Premier League Cup, currently known as the Sky Sports Cup due to sponsorship and commonly shortened to the SWPL Cup, is a league cup competition in women's football in Scotland. The cup is open only to the teams in the Scottish Women's Premier League. There are four rounds, including the final.

The competition was launched in 2002–03 along with the Scottish Women's Premier League, and the first winners were Kilmarnock.

The SWPL Cup changed to run on a summer schedule played in a single calendar year (from around March to November) from the 2009 edition until the COVID-19 pandemic ended the 2020 season prematurely (leaving that year's edition unfinished) and caused the SWPL to revert to a winter format in all competitions for the following season, which was retained after pandemic restrictions ended.

The trophy has been won most often by Hibernian, seven times.

Format
Up to 2015, eight of the twelve Premier League teams were drawn to play in the first round. The four winners and the other four teams then played in the quarter-finals. All matches were played over one leg.

Since the addition of the division SWPL 2 in 2016, all teams from the Premier League's two divisions have taken part in the cup. The last edition with the straight-knockout format was the 2019 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup

In a large change to the format for the 2020 edition of the Cup, a 16-team group stage was inaugurated, planned to qualify teams for the eight-team knockout phase, with the League's top two clubs given a bye to the quarter-finals; but the SWPL was abandoned early in the 2020 season, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the League reverted to the winter format as a result. The league cup was not played in the 2020–21 season. The group phase was played with all clubs in the 2021–22 SWPL Cup, which was completed and won by Celtic.

Regent master (Magister regens) was a title conferred in the medieval universities upon a student who had acquired a master's degree.  The degree meant simply the right to teach, the Licentia docendi, a right which could be granted, in the University of Paris, only by the Chancellor of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, or the Chancellor of St. Geneviève. According to the Third Council of Lateran, held in 1179, this Licentia docendi had to be granted gratuitously, and to all duly qualified applicants.

If the new member stayed in the university and continued to take an active part in its teaching, he was called a magister regens, a practising teacher. If he were to look for another career, however, he would become non regens: a passive member of the corporation of masters, without losing his affiliation to it, which usually lasted for life.
An example of regent master was William Vorilong, French philosopher of the Middle Ages. Before the Licentia Docendi was developed in Europe, the certificates were given based on morality

Ellen Annette Martin (January 16, 1847 – March 13, 1916) was an early and little-known American attorney who achieved an early victory in securing women's suffrage in Illinois. She was the first woman to vote in Illinois.

Ellen Martin graduated the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor law school in 1875 and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1876.

On April 6, 1891, in Lombard, Illinois, Ellen Martin led a group of 14 prominent women to the voting place at the general store. Although suffrage was restricted to men in Illinois at that time, Lombard was governed by its pre-1870 compact which omitted any mention of gender.  Miss Martin therefore demanded that the three male election judges allow the women to vote. Reportedly, the voting judges were flabbergasted by Miss Martin: "Mr. Marquardt was taken with a spasm, Reber leaned stiff against the wall, and Vance fell backward into the flour barrel."

A county judge eventually proclaimed the legitimacy of the women's votes, which became the first women's votes tabulated in Illinois history. Thus, Ellen Martin was the first woman in Illinois to vote. However, the men of Lombard quickly reorganized the town charter in line with the state charter, so that women were only allowed to vote in school elections. By 1916, Illinois women could vote in national elections, and the 19th Amendment (the Women's Suffrage Amendment) was passed in 1920.

In 2008, the city of Lombard, Illinois, declared April 6 to be "Ellen Martin Day" in commemoration of Ms. Martin's historic victory for women's suffrage.

The Scottish Women's Football League Cup, previously known as the Scottish Women's League Cup and Scottish Women's Football League First Division Cup, is a Scottish women's football competition founded in 1972. It is open only to teams in the Scottish Women's Football League (SWFL). It was the top-level league cup until 2002.

The SWFL Cup is played at present as the league cup of level 4 clubs in the SWFL, now a standalone amateur league tier. Teams at levels 1–3 now play for the SWPL Cup and SWF Championship Cup, following a reorganisation of the system in 2019.

Background
The trophy started out as the Scottish Women's League Cup. The competition began in the 1972–73 season along with the foundation of the Scottish Women's League. Westthorn United won the first edition of the competition, as part of a treble along with the Scottish Women's League and Scottish Women's Cup.

High street store Sports Connection became the first official sponsor of the Scottish Women's League and Scottish Women's League Cup in 1997. Premier Division clubs broke away to form a new top division, the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL), before the 2002–03 season. The Scottish Women's Premier League Cup, a competition only open to SWPL teams was also introduced. With the top division in Scotland now having its own exclusive League Cup competition, the existing competition became the equivalent to the men's Scottish Challenge Cup, only open to lower league clubs.

In 2012, Scottish Women's Football launched separate cup competitions for its First and Second Division teams, and the top trophy became exclusively for teams in the First Division, the national second league tier (which became the third tier in 2016, below SWPL 2). From 2009, women's football in Scotland adopted a summer season running from March to November each year.

Following the 2019 reorganisation, the SWFL First and Second Divisions ceased to exist as they had. A new equivalent knockout tournament for the new Championship, the SWF Championship Cup, was introduced. The older trophy became the Scottish Women's Football League Cup, open to clubs playing at that 'Recreational' level. The 2021 competition was played as a straight knockout cup, won by Bishopton, but the 2022 cup had a group phase. From this, the top teams qualified for the knockout stage, while eliminated clubs competed for the SWFL Plate.

SWFL Second Division Cup
The Scottish Women's Football League Second Division Cup was played from 2012 to 2019, and was only open to teams in the four groups of the Scottish Women's Football League Second Division (Central, East, North and West). Representing level 3 (2012–2015) and then level 4 (2016–2019), it was the league cup for the lowest tier at that time in the women's football league system.

The tournament consisted of six rounds, including the final. All matches were played over only one leg. With between 40 and 50 teams entering, only some teams took part in the first round. The winners met the remainder in the second round, a standard last-32 knockout.

The league reconstruction in 2020 introduced a new SWF Championship division (and cup), along similar lines to the SWFL First Division, while the teams below formed a standalone 'Recreational' setup, continuing the SWFL name and the format of regional groups. The First Division Cup again became the SWFL League Cup, but with no second tier below the new SWFL groups, the Second Division Cup was discontinued.

List of winners
The Scottish Women's League Cup competition began in season 1972–73.

1972 to 2002
From 1972 to 2002, the cup was a competition open to all league clubs.

Note: Details incomplete

John Barcoski (also spelled as Barkoski, Borkovski, or Barkowsky; December 15, 1889 – February 10, 1929) was a Polish émigré miner brutally beaten to death by Pennsylvania's Coal and Iron Police on February 10, 1929. His passing and subsequent acquittal of his murderers on the first-degree murder charges provoked public indignation, which eventually led to the end of Pennsylvania's private anti-labor Coal and Iron Police system.

History

Barcoski immigrated to the United States in 1906. He was married to Sophia Blussick, a fellow Polish emigrant, and had four children, John Jr., Helen, Bertha, and Anthony. Anthony also became a miner and died of lung cancer at age 47. He was both a farmer and a union employee of the Pittsburgh Coal Company's Montour Mine #9 in McAdams, Pennsylvania.  On the evening of the 9th, he went to his mother-in-law's home, and there encountered two private officers also employed by the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Eyewitnesses said one of them launched an unprovoked attack on Barcoski, who received a laceration of the left cheek, five or six head wounds, two broken ribs and a fractured nose. Later at police barracks over the course of four hours, according to trial testimony, a third officer beat Barcoski with a strap while he lay semiconscious on the floor, twisted his ears until the miner cried aloud, and twisted his broken nose until he lapsed again into unconsciousness. Then he beat Barcoski over the chest with a poker until the poker bent, straightened the implement and beat the man again. He stripped the miner to the waist in order to better use a strap and kicked Barcoski until the miner's body rolled over and over on the floor. The original attacker also beat Barcoski, kicked him, struck him over the head with knucklers, and slapped him on the arms, legs and neck with his blackjack. The next morning he was taken to a hospital where he died. A jury acquitted the three officers of murder.

Later, two of the police responsible for his death were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and his widow was paid $13,500 by the Pittsburgh Coal Company as compensation.

Legacy

In the words of the Chicago Tribune, "It was the fatal beating of John Barcoski, a miner in the Pittsburgh district several years ago, that hastened the end of "the system." Researchers acknowledged the historical role of John Barcoski's slaying in the demise of Coal and Iron Police.

Pennsylvania state legislator and former miner Michael Musmanno was outraged by the case, and introduced a bill to banish this private police force.  The bill was vetoed by the Republican governor John Stuchell Fisher, which led to Musmanno's resignation.  Musmanno then published a short story about the case, entitled "Jan Volkanik," blending Barcoski's identity with a semi-legendary Polish coal mining figure. Fisher's successor, Gifford Pinchot, fatally crippled the private police forces by refusing to fund them or renew any of their state commissions, and the Coal and Iron Police officially ceased to exist in 1935.

That story in turn was basis for the 1935 film Black Fury starring Paul Muni and directed by Michael Curtiz.  The film's subject matter was controversial.  The executive secretary of the National Coal Association, D.J. Battle, attempted to stop production through political pressure.  Its release was banned entirely in Chicago and several countries.  The British Board of Film Censors deemed a speech describing the unfair relationship between the miners and union leaders as inflammatory, and ordered it removed.

In 1966, Musmanno published a novel version of the screenplay also named Black Fury.

The Australian National Committee on Large Dams (abbreviated as ANCOLD) is an Australian-based non-government, non-profit and voluntary association of organisations and individual professionals with a common technical interest in large dams and their environs. ANCOLD is not an advocate for dams but an apolitical industry body that focuses on disseminating knowledge, developing capability and providing guidance on all aspects of dam engineering, management and associated issues.

ANCOLD is a member of the International Commission on Large Dams (or ICOLD).

Role and functions
ANCOLD maintains a register of large dams in Australia, of which approximately 490 dams were listed on the register in 1999. By international convention, "large" dams are those that are  or more in height, although a dam over  qualifies if it has particular features such as large storage or specially difficult foundation conditions.

The association awards scholarships to young professionals to attend the annual ANCOLD conference.

Publications
Publications include a quarterly newsletter, and:

 Guidelines on design floods for dams - 1986
 Register of large dams in Australia - 1990
 Status of dam safety in Australia - 1990
 Guidelines on dam safety management - 1994

Kings Heath railway station is a railway station under construction in Kings Heath, Birmingham. It was originally opened in 1840 before being closed to passengers in 1941.

History
The station was built on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway's mainline (now the Camp Hill line) on the border of Kings Heath and Moseley, adjacent to Highbury Park. Upon opening it was called Moseley station, however in 1867 the opening of a new upline station of the same name closer to the centre of Moseley caused the station to be renamed 'Kings Heath'.

The station finally closed to passengers on 27 January 1941 due to the Second World War, although it was used as a goods station and coal yard into the late 1960s. It was demolished at some point thereafter.

Station masters

G. Potter 1860—1872
W. Sibley 1872—1874
A. Nowell 1874—1875
H. Wells 1875—1877
George Stroud 1877—1904
John H. Brayne 1904—1914(formerly station master at Selly Oak)
J.W. Varty 1930—1936
Harry Snary 1937—1941(also station master at Hazelwell from 1937)

Reopening
Since the late 2000s, proposals have been made to re-open the station, along with others on the Camp Hill line, for passenger use.

In 2019, the project to re-open the stations at Moseley, Kings Heath, and Hazelwell received £15 million in Government funding, with construction due to start in 2020 and aimed for completion in time for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, though this was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. In March 2021 it was announced that funding had been found for the project, with an opening date expected in 2023.

Construction work on the three new stations started in late 2022. The reopening of the line has been hit by delays and the West Midlands Combined Authority is now aiming to reopen the line for passenger use by the end of 2024.

Sheikh As'ad Shukeiri (Arabic: أسعد الشقيري, also transcribed al-Shuqayri, Shuqeiri, Shukeiry; 1860–1940) was a Palestinian religious scholar political leader and mayor of Acre, and the Ottoman-appointed Qadi from 1914 to 1918. Kamil al-Husayni was the Hanafi Mufti at the time and considered to be pro-British. Shukeiri was pro-Ottoman, favoring that Palestine continue to be part of the Ottoman Empire and in 1908 and 1912, he was elected to the Ottoman parliament.

From the latter year to 1914, he served as the deputy of the District of Acre. Afterwards, he held several posts in Palestine's religious judiciary, including librarian of the Imperial Library and member of the Sharia court in Istanbul. During World War I, he was appointed mufti of the Fourth Ottoman Army in Syria and Palestine.

In 1930, he founded the Liberal Party in Palestine and became head of the Supreme Muslim Council during the era of British rule in Palestine. One of his children, Ahmad Shukeiri, later became the first leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Shukeiri rejected the values of the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement and would work with Zionist leaders regularly. He worked in multiple pro-Zionist Arab organizations from the beginning of the British Mandate until his death in 1940 and he publicly rejected Mohammad Amin al-Husayni’s use of Islam against Zionism.

Catch as Cats Can is a 1947 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated cartoon directed by Arthur Davis. The short was released on December 6, 1947, and stars Sylvester.

Plot
An emaciated canary, singing like Frank Sinatra and attracting the attention of all the admiring chicks, is getting on the nerves of a pipe-puffing parrot, who speaks like Bing Crosby. The parrot spots Sylvester (who in this cartoon speaks differently in a more dopey voice and without a lisp while speaking), foraging through the trash. Telling Sylvester, he needs more vitamins (which the canary has been swallowing in bulk), he lures Sylvester inside to snare the canary.

The straightforward approach fails (the canary hits him in the left eye turning it violet). Helped by the parrot's encouragement, he carves a female canary from soap and lures Frankie there; the birds slide down a greased counter, into the sink, and down the drain, but only the soap bird goes through the pipe and down Sylvester's throat. A trail of birdseed into the garage seems to work, but Frankie jacks the cat's mouth open.  Sylvester laces the vitamins with buckshot, but the magnet attracts everything metal in sight except his prey. The canary turns Sylvester's vacuum cleaner against him, with a crash in the fireplace giving Sylvester a hot-stomach; as he buries his head in the sink, the bird adds Foamo-Seltzer to the water; the cat rockets off, crashing into a wall.

Sylvester finally realizes the portly parrot is a better meal; he is later shown sitting on the parrot's perch, imitating his mannerisms.

Mark Chai (born in Honolulu) is a Native Hawaiian sculptor who designs and handcrafts fine woods and recycled materials into modern lamps, sculpture, large installations and furniture.

His handcrafted modern lamps have been featured in Dwell, the New Yorker, House Beautiful, and Home magazines, as well as in Wallpaper* magazine’s Honolulu City Guide,. His work is also seen in Travel & Leisure, and Modern Luxury Hawaii,.

The New York Botanical Garden commissioned Chai's "Heliconia" monumental stainless steel sculpture as part of its Georgia O'Keeffe Hawaii retrospective in 2018.

Three of Chai's sculptures are prominently displayed in the lobby of Disney's Aulani Hotel on Oahu. Honolulu magazine named him one of Hawaii’s hottest designers.
Three of his lamps were featured in the Honolulu Museum of Art’s 2016-17 year-long exhibit, “Hawaii in Design.” A dozen of his lamps appeared in the Hawaii season of the television show, “Real World.”
Two of Chai's sculptures of recycled plastic were purchased by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and displayed in the Hawaii State Art Museum.

His custom wooden lamps light Chef Ed Kenney's restaurants town, Kaimuki Superette, and Mahina & Sun's, and Art After Dark at the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Chai says his inspirations are childhood memories of the play of light and shadow in glowing camp fires on the beach, moonlight shining through the leaves of palm trees, and watching the precision of craftsmen building a wooden fence in Japan. He wanted to make lamps because, "I wanted to interact with the viewer. What better way than to turn something on?"  His work has been described as "cutting edge hanging lamps of intricate interlocking pieces of cut and finished plywood. The effect is origami in thin air with distinctive Hawaii touches." The Culture Trip site listed him as a "giant" of the Hawaii art scene, "Mark Chai's naturalist style transforms everyday table lamps and wooden furniture into expressions of the organic world."

He received his BFA from the University of Hawaii, Manoa, in 1976

Atalyja (“The rain is coming”) is a Lithuanian folk-rock music band. It focuses on the popularization of archaic Lithuanian folklore and bringing ancient songs closer to contemporary audiences. The band has produced songs of various musical styles, a broad tonal palette and unique arrangements. The ancient melodies are enriched with elements of rock, jazz, funk, blues rock, metal, and Indian music. Atalyja regularly participates in music festivals and fests. The band has released three CD albums and has given performances in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Turkey, Czechia, Belarus, and Russia.

Over more than ten years since its establishment, Atalyja has amassed a large fan base of listeners. The main part of the repertoire consists of sutartinės (archaic polyphonic songs – glees), calendar, war-historical, and wedding songs. Musical expression ranges from meditative improvisation to hard compositional art rock. Experimentation is not unfamiliar to the band musicians – the melodies of traditional songs are mixed with elements of classic rock, metal rock, blues rock, funk, and progressive rock, as well as classical music.

History
Atalyja was created in 1998, and a year later, the band had their first appearance at the post-folk festival "Suklegos" in Kaunas, Lithuania. In 2000, the debut album "Atalyja" was released, receiving international attention through folk and world music publications. The second album, "Bansuri" (The Mother), released in 2004 (Ctablangus Records), was recognized as one of the most substantial modern folk music releases in Lithuanian discography. In their 2009 album, "Saula riduolėla" (Sun the Roller) (Dangus Records), "strict" composition blended with improvisation and experimentation with ties to solar themes.

Currently, there are four vocalists: Gedimina Statulevičienė, Audronė Daraškevičienė, Darutė Pilibavičienė (who also plays kanklės) and Rytis Ambrazevičius (who also plays kanklės). The group has several multi-instrumentalists including: Ernest Jepifanov (bansuri, viola, bagpipe, and panpipes), Eirimas Velička (violin, kanklės, and jaw harp), Gediminas Žilys (bass guitar and kanklės), Ugnius Keturka (electric and acoustic guitar) and Salvijus Žeimys (percussion).

The band has given concerts in Poland (2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009), Estonia (2002), Latvia (2002, 2009), Germany (2006), Turkey (2008), Czech Republic (2009). Atalyja has also participated in Lithuanian radio and television programs and is a common participant in Lithuanian folk, post-folk, and neofolk festivals and city and town feasts. Some festivals they continue to appear at include Mėnuo Juodaragis, Baltic sound, Suklegos, Gyvosios archeologijos dienos and Skamba skamba kankliai. The band's music is also used in numerous art projects, films and theater performances.

The group was awarded ethnoband of the year at the alternative music awards in 2008.

In 2009 the band presented their album, Saulala Riduolela (Sun The Roller), in Vilnius and Kaunas. They also gave concerts in Minsk (which were filmed by Belarusian ONT TV television); Riga, Latvia; Prague (in the musical club "Acropolis"); Olsztynek; and Gdańsk, Poland. In November 2009, Atalyja performed on a Christmas Tour in Moscow (on the 25th at a club called Masterskaya and on the 26th at the cultural centre of Lithuanian embassy, Jurgis Baltrusaitis House).

Michael Pascol Mandarino (March 16, 1921 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – 1985) was an American football offensive lineman.  He is one of only two La Salle Explorers to enter the National Football League.  Mandarino used the money he earned as a professional football player to enter medical school, later providing medical services to the team he played for, the Philadelphia Eagles.

While playing for the Eagles, Mandarino reportedly attended classes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. He would then rushed to the ballpark to practice under the lights with the Eagles, and after the game on Sundays he would again return to his studies. He repeated this routine in 1945, while as an intern. he reportedly earned $200 per game.

According to Mandarino, coach Greasy Neale reportedly told him to play tackle after Vic Sears was injured. Neale stated that "If you are smart enough to be a doctor, you are smart enough to learn two sets of plays". The following week, both of Eagles' centers, Bap Manzini and Vic Lindskog, were injured, so Greasy came back and told Mandarino that he "should be smart enough to learn three sets of plays".

He later taught at La Salle and won international fame for his research in orthopedic surgery.

Per Reidarson (27 May 1879 – 21 January 1954) was a Norwegian composer and music critic.

In the early twentieth century he was an acknowledged composer. For his body of work he was granted kunstnerlønn, a guaranteed minimum income for artists, by the Norwegian state in 1938. He had also worked as a music critic in the newspapers Tidens Tegn and Arbeiderbladet.

However, he eventually joined the political party Nasjonal Samling and began writing for their official publication Fritt Folk. In 1941–1942, while Norway was occupied by Germany, he held the lecture Norsk og unorsk i musikken ('Norwegian and Un-Norwegian in Music'), anger directed at the perceived "Jewish and Marxist" Modernist music.

In 1945, when the occupation of Norway ended, Reidarson was marginalized and immediately lost his artist's income.

The First National Bank and Trust Building is a historic building on Public Square in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. The rectangular building, completed in 1926, was designed by Weary & Alford Company, an architectural firm from Chicago.  It was the location of the offices of the First National Bank and Trust Company from 1926 until 1974, when the company became a part of Huntington Bank.  The structure's twelve stories are faced with Indiana Limestone.  Each column of windows is topped with an arch window on the highest floor, and the spandrels between the arch windows are connected to each other.

Founded as the "Lima Trust Company" in 1903, the First National Bank and Trust used a Masonic building in its earliest years.  Starting in 1906, it operated in a smaller building (now destroyed), which served as its offices until it moved into its newly erected structure in 1926.  During the early twentieth century, the influence of railroads and the oil industry caused Lima to be a very prosperous city.  Many large buildings, including two skyscrapers, were built in the city's downtown; the majority of these new structures employed the Chicago Style of architecture.  With the decline of the city's economy later in the century, the construction of large buildings in central Lima ceased — virtually all new construction took place in the city's outskirts or suburbs — thus making the First National Bank and Trust one of the newest major buildings in downtown Lima.  In recognition of its historic significance, the First National Bank and Trust was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.  It was one of seventeen Lima buildings that was added to the National Register as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," a Multiple Property Submission that concentrated on architecturally significant buildings in or near downtown Lima.

Aside from its importance as a historic site, the First National Bank and Trust Building plays a leading part in local ornithology: the building is a nesting site for peregrine falcons and is part of the Midwest Peregrine Falcon Restoration Project.

Anado McLauchlin (May 24, 1947 - April 4, 2021), was a mosaic artist who lived in the small village of La Cieneguita, near San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. Anado constructed a large scale compound known as Casa las Ranas written up in The New York Times which includes the gallery known as The Chapel of Jimmy Ray which houses Anado's multi layered assemblages which he referred to as Artifacts from the Chapel.

McLauchlin was born in Oklahoma on May 24, 1947. He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1967 and served in Viet Nam. He settled in New York City and changed his name from James Rayburn McLauchlin to Anado McLauchlin.

Tabimorelin (INN) (developmental code name NN-703) is a drug which acts as a potent, orally-active agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) and growth hormone secretagogue, mimicking the effects of the endogenous peptide agonist ghrelin as a stimulator of growth hormone (GH) release. It was one of the first GH secretagogues developed and is largely a modified polypeptide, but it is nevertheless orally-active in vivo. Tabimorelin produced sustained increases in levels of GH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), along with smaller transient increases in levels of other hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, and prolactin. However actual clinical effects in adults with growth hormone deficiency were limited, with only the most severely GH-deficient patients showing significant benefit, and tabimorelin was also found to act as a CYP3A4 inhibitor which could cause it to have undesirable interactions with other drugs.
