The Belcher-Rowe House is a historic house at 26 Governor Belcher Lane in Milton, Massachusetts.  The two-story hip-roofed wood-frame house was built in 1776 by Elizabeth Teale Belcher and Maria Louisa Emilia Teale, step-daughter and widow of the late Governor of Massachusetts Jonathan Belcher.  It was the first Federal style house to be built in Milton.  Elizabeth Belcher sold the house to John Rowe in 1781, and it remained in the Rowe family until 1940.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Kennomeat was a popular brand of canned dog food sold in the United Kingdom.

Robert Wilson & Sons were an established manufacturer of pet foods, with canneries in Barrhead near Glasgow and at Malone in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and in the 1930s they registered the names Kennomeat and Kattomeat. These products for dogs and for cats were not launched until the 1950s, but soon took 20 per cent of the British pet food market.

Kennomeat was particularly popular in the 1960s due to a successful series of TV commercials which reversed the role of dogs and their masters.

In 1964, Spillers Ltd took over the brand names with its acquisition of Wilsons' subsidiary, Scottish Animal Products Ltd.

Kattomeat was renamed as Arthurs in 1992, but the Kennomeat brand has been dropped.

Spiller was acquired by Dalgety plc in 1979. The Spillers pet food business was sold to Nestlé in 1998, and the factory at Barrhead was closed in 2004.

Blue Hills Parkway is a historic parkway that runs in a straight line from a crossing of the Neponset River, at the south border of Boston to the north edge of the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to a design by the noted landscape architect, Charles Eliot, who is perhaps best known for the esplanades along the Charles River. The parkway is a connecting road between the Blue Hills Reservation and the Neponset River Reservation, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

The parkway's northern terminus is a six-way intersection in southern Mattapan, a neighborhood in the far south of Boston.  The junction includes River Street (which passes through the intersection), Cummins Highway, Blue Hill Avenue, and the access road for the Mattapan MBTA station.  Both Blue Hill Avenue and the parkway are designated Massachusetts Route 28 at this intersection.  The parkway almost immediately crosses the Neponset River and then into Milton.  Brush Hill Road branches west, and Blue Hill Avenue branches to the southwest (designated Massachusetts Route 138), and a short distance later Brook Road carries the Route 28 designation off to the east.  It passes through a residential area, crosses Pine Tree Brook, and soon reaches its southern terminus, a rotary intersection  (this is not a rotary any longer, it is a regular 4-way intersection with overhead stoplights as of at least 2015) with Canton Street and Unquity Road (the latter being listed as part of the Blue Hills Reservation Parkways).  The parkway is about  long.

The parkway was laid out in 1894, and was one of the first connecting parkways designed by Eliot and the Olmsted Brothers.  Land acquisition began in 1896, and construction took place in 1898.  The Neponset River bridge was built 1901-03  Its major features include the Neponset River bridge, a granite-faced triple arch structure carrying six lanes of traffic.  The complex of junctions on the south side is landscaped with a series of median islands and miters.  The roadway is eight lanes in this area, allowing for turning lanes, and there is a c. 1823 granite mile marker in the grassy area on the west side of the roadway.  South of the Truman Parkway interchange the road becomes six lanes, which reduce to five (two south and three north) after the Brook Road junction.  The roadway for the southern stretch is canopied by trees that line the center median strip and the sides.

Brookwood Farm is a historic farm on Blue Hill River Road in Canton, Massachusetts. Some of its fields, but none of the buildings, are in Milton. It is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Property
Its oldest building, the Old Barn was built in 1690.  The Cape Cod style house located on the street was built in 1800.  The larger house, set about 1,500 feet (500m) back from the street, converted from a hunting lodge in 1954, has been considered for a Governor's Mansion. There are also several outbuildings. All of the buildings, except the Old Barn, are suffering from a lack of funding for their upkeep.

The farm comprises about 70 acres (30ha), about half in woods and the balance in fields.  There are three ponds.  It is bounded on the south by Route 128 / I-93, on the east by residences, on the west by property owned by Meditech and on the north by Blue Hill River Road (which is called Hillside Street in Milton).  Across Blue Hill River Road is Great Blue Hill.

History
Its historical owner was General Samuel Parker, best known for his role in suppressing the 1919 Boston Police strike.
The farm's most recent private owner was Henry Saltonstall Howe, an insurance executive, who bought it in 1951, built the house, and lived there as a bachelor gentleman farmer until his death in 1994. He had donated the property to the state with a life estate in 1976, so on his death it passed to the management of the Metropolitan District Commission which later became the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
In 2006, the DCR granted a permit to Brookwood Community Farm, Inc., a non-profit, to organically farm  for food and flowers. That has continued through 2010.

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980. The barn was added separately at the same time.

The Brush Hill Historic District is a residential historic district along Brush Hill Road in Milton, Massachusetts.  It extends on the north side of the road from Dana Avenue to Brush Hill Lane, and on the south side from Bradlee Road to Robbins Street.  Shortly before settlers migrated to Brush Hill in the 1650s, a significant forest fire struck the area causing trees to die and leaves to fall. When the settlers arrived, the hill was covered in brush, hence the name. The district includes a representative cross-section of residential development from c. 1670 to the late 1940s, and includes Milton's oldest house, the Robert Tucker House, at 678 Brush Hill Road. Brush Hill is one of the three main hills of Milton; Milton Hill, Brush Hill, and the Blue Hills.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The Comfort Station is a historic "sanitary" on Blue Hill Avenue in Milton, Massachusetts.  It is located in the Blue Hills Reservation, managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Although finely detailed by Stickney & Austin in Swiss Chalet style, this is a very simple building, built in 1904 for a single purpose which it still performs today. It is approximately 35x22 feet (10x7m), divided approximately half and half between men's and women's toilets which sit on a terrazzo floor about five feet (1.5m) above grade. Two handicapped accessible toilets were added on the east (back) side during an extensive refurbishing in 2008. It is well preserved, with most exterior parts either original or carefully matched to the original.
It was originally adjacent to a trolley rest stop, but the trolley and the restaurant pavilion are long gone. It now serves visitors to the Department of Conservation and Recreation's Trailside Museum and people climbing Great Blue Hill, at whose base it sits.  The Trailside Museum is owned by DCR and operated by the
Massachusetts Audubon Society through a 5-year permit agreement.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980.

The Eliot Memorial Bridge is a footbridge which was built in 1904 in memory of Charles Eliot, landscape architect to the Metropolitan Park Commission.  It is located on the Skyline Trail near the summit of Great Blue Hill in the Blue Hills Reservation, south of Boston, Massachusetts.  Eliot was a driving force in the establishment of many of the Greater Boston area's early parks, including the Blue Hill Reservation.  The bridge was built out of locally quarried granite, and completed c. 1905-06.  Built into its structure are a bench and commemorative plaque. The bridge, which crosses a small ravine, is a remarkably large and sturdy structure for the location.
The bridge is in neighborhood to the Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, near the  summit of Great Blue Hill, a few hundred yards from and a little below the Great Blue Hill Weather Observatory, which is at the top of the mountain.  The view from the observation tower toward the Observatory and its forest of radio, TV, and microwave antennas, is obscured by trees.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The Baltic Soul Weekender is an annual music festival with a maximum attendance of 4,700 visitors held for the first time in 2007. The Baltic Soul Weekender offers a musical journey through the past decades of music: soul, funk, soulful house and disco. In addition to live acts, the visitor can listen to well-known DJs. It is Germany's only weekender that includes accommodation at the festival location. The festival was founded by the disc jockey and event manager Daniel Dombrowe (Dan D.).

Location
From 2007 to 2013 the location was 120 km north of Hamburg, Germany, at the Holidayparc Weissenhäuser Strand at the Baltic Sea. From 2014 to 2016 the event took place at the Center Parc Bispinger Heide. In November 2014, a one-time DJ weekender was held. After the previously organizing Soul Weekender GmbH filed for bankruptcy in 2015, the agency Four Artists from Berlin has organized the Baltic Soul Weekender since 2016. Dan Dombrowe remained as creative director. Since 2018 the event takes place again at the Holidayparc Weissenhäuser Strand. In 2020, Four Artists ceased operations independently of the Baltic Soul Weekender. KJ Projects GmbH has been the organizer of the event since 2022.

Historical overview and line-up
Various artists and live acts have performed on stage at the Baltic Soul Weekender in the past. Meanwhile and after the end of the stage program, there was music from various disc jockeys on smaller so-called floors (dance areas). All day various DJs were playing music on the Baltic Soul TV, which is available in all rooms.

Compilations
Five Baltic Soul Weekender compilation albums with rare songs have been released on vinyl (only volume 2 to 5) and CD. The following tables contain the track listings of the LPs, released with fewer tracks, and CDs.

#1 – Weekender Anthems

#2 – Soulful & Funk 70's

#3 – Philly Sound & Charity Projects

#4 – Soulful & New Dan's Classics

#5 – Modern & Classic Steppers

Charity
Not only is the Baltic Soul Weekender a music festival, it also supports soul artists all over the world. Although it sometimes takes years to find these people, finding them is much easier than persuading them to have a comeback after not being on stage for 30 years or more. The Baltic Soul Weekender makes it its business to support these artists and take care of legal, social and financial aspects in their life.

Gov. Thomas Hutchinson's Ha-ha is a historic ha-ha at 100–122 Randolph Avenue in Milton, Massachusetts, United States.

The ha-ha (a sunken wall which permits unblocked views, while still serving functions of a wall such as delineating a border and preventing livestock from crossing) was constructed by then-Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson in the early 1700s, when the land was part of his extensive Milton estate. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and is a contributing property to the Milton Hill Historic District.

The ha-ha, which is of modest size, is now on the grounds of St. Michael's Church at 100 Randolph Avenue, approximately one block from Governor Hutchinson's Field, a property of The Trustees of Reservations.  Park on the street and walk in the driveway to the left (north) of the church.  The ha-ha, with a descriptive sign, is on the right before the bend of the driveway.

Odorrana, commonly known as odorous frogs, is a genus of true frogs (Ranidae) from East Asia and surrounding regions. Many of these frogs inhabit fast-flowing mountain streams, and they typically have a remarkably pointed snout, as evidenced by common names like tip-nosed frog and scientific names like nasica or nasutus ("with a nose").

Systematics and taxonomy
Odorrana has a confusing taxonomic and systematic history. Most species placed here were initially placed in Rana. Some were considered to belong in Amolops and Huia instead, and yet again others were separated as Eburana. The most extreme proposal was to merge Odorrana into Huia.

In the early 21st century, molecular phylogenetic studies established that the systematic confusion was due to widespread convergent evolution between Amolops, Huia and Odorrana, which actually represent quite distinct lineages of Raninae. This necessitated some taxonomic changes, especially affecting Huia. It was also found that Odorrana is a rather close relative of Rana (which includes Lithobates nowadays) – possibly the most closely related living lineage. And while it is not completely certain that Odorrana is in fact a distinct genus, the available evidence points towards this being so.

Initial studies have revealed what seems to be several clades of Odorrana, which are sometimes considered subgenera. But few species have had their DNA sequence data sampled, and that the convergent evolution is liable to obscure relationships if assessed by morphology alone:
 A number of very basal species, including O. bacboensis, O. chapaensis, Ishikawa's Frog (O. ishikawae) and perhaps others do not seem to be particularly close to any of the larger groups or each other.
 A very robustly-supported clade containing the type species O. margaretae as well as at least O. andersonii, O. daorum O. grahami and O. hmongorum.
 A minor but quite distinct lineage containing O. absita, O. khalam and perhaps others. Namely O. hejiangensis and O. schmackeri might belong here, or represent another minor and distinct lineage.
 A large group, quite likely a clade, containing the Amami Tip-nosed Frog (O. amamiensis), O. banaorum, O. chloronota, Hose's Frog (O. hosii), O. livida, O. morafkai, O. megatympanum, the Ryukyu Tip-nosed Frog (O. narina), O. supranarina, O. swinhoana, O. tiannanensis, O. utsunomiyaorum and probably others. The specialized lineage encompassing the Long-snout Torrent Frog (O. nasica), the Concave-eared Torrent Frog (O. tormota), O. versabilis, and maybe some more species also belongs here.

The Massachusetts Hornfels-Braintree Slate Quarry is a prehistoric archaeological site in Milton and Quincy, Massachusetts. It consists of a series of pits and trenches used from 7,000 B.P. until the early 17th century as a source of slate and hornfels used for chipped and ground tools.  Pieces made from material quarried at the site are found over much of eastern Massachusetts.  The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Description
The Hornfels Quarry was discovered in 1974 by amateur archaeologists seeking the source for stone tools that had been found in some abundance at a variety of prehistoric archaeological sites in eastern Massachusetts.  The stone materials in question were originally thought to be of volcanic origin (based on basaltic sources).  A site on a nearby river with a large quantity of this particular type of stone convinced researchers the source had to be nearby.  The quarry was located while searching for prehistoric sites near a golf course construction project to the north of the Blue Hills Reservation.

The stone found at the quarry is not basaltic in origin, but a heavily metamorphized sedimentary slate known as hornfels, that has a significant amount of silica.  This stone had the property of being extremely hard, a desirable property for the Native Americans seeking to produce tools.   Finds at the site include diabase stone disks, used either as preforms from which edged tools were manufactured, or in the quarrying operations to extract more usable stone.  Materials from these quarries have been found as far away as Rhode Island.

Frederick John Melville (25 February 1882 – 12 January 1940) was a British philatelist, prolific philatelic author and founder of The Junior Philatelic Society. He was also a founder in 1907 of the Philatelic Literature Society. Melville is a member of the American Philatelic Society's Hall of Fame and was a signatory to The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1921.

Early life
Melville was born in Edinburgh to Thomas J. Melville and Annie Melville but moved to London at the age of two when his father, who was a journalist, became the House of Commons correspondent for The Scotsman. Fred had brothers Cecil Balfour, Thomas B. and William. He also had sisters Kate and Helen (later Mrs Helen P. Terry).

Fred was educated at Westminster School where he was the instigator of a school magazine The United Westminster School Field Club Magazine. He was always known just as Fred.

As a young boy of just 11 he took his father to an exhibition of stamps organised by the Philatelic Society, London, now The Royal Philatelic Society London at Arundel Street. At that exhibition he met Edward Denny Bacon who handed him a copy of the Society's journal, The London Philatelist.

In 1899 he applied for membership of the Society, but was rejected as he was under 18 years of age. As a result, he formed The Junior Philatelic Society (now The National Philatelic Society) that same year. The society was a huge success, capitalising on pent-up demand for a philatelic society that anyone could join and the new society soon had to seek a larger meeting place. In 1906 Melville formed a Manchester branch of the society. Melville was President of the society from the start until his death and also edited the society's journal The Stamp Lover.

Melville was never in good health and he did not serve in the military during World War One.

Writing

Melville wrote over 100 books and his works are still some of the most common encountered in Philately.

In 1897 he wrote and self-published an eight-page pamphlet called Stamp Collecting, priced at one penny. Fred was so embarrassed with the publication in later years that he bought up every copy that was offered for sale, with the result that it is now a very scarce item. In 1899 he became the editor of the philatelic section of a small journal known as Hardman's Miscellany. Soon afterwards he launched his own magazine, Young Stamp Collector which ran for six issues before merging with Stamp Collectors' Fortnightly. Melville also contributed philatelic articles to The Daily Telegraph, Wide World Magazine, The Straits Times of Singapore, the Illustrated London News and John O'London's Weekly.

His second philatelic book was The A.B.C. of Stamp Collecting (1903), which received a highly complimentary review in Morley's Philatelic Journal where it was praised as being "remarkably free from [the] errors which are so often found in cheap guides to philately" despite having one fault in omitting telegraph and fiscal stamps. A new edition was published in 1922 as The New A.B.C. of Stamp Collecting. His 1908 book Postage Stamps worth Fortunes was translated into Swedish and Dutch and his last book, Modern Stamp Collecting, was published on 6 May 1940, the centenary of the issue of the Penny Black. Melville also edited the Postage Stamp (1909–1929), Stamp Collector's Fortnightly (1921–1939) and British Philatelist (1932–1939). He also wrote, still on a philatelic theme, The Lady Forger: an original play which was published by The Junior Philatelic Society. The play had its first performance in 1906 at the society's annual Concert-Conversazione at the Bijou Theatre, Archer Street, London. According to Brian Birch, Melville used the pseudonym Miss Fitte as a pun on misfit when writing about stamp errors.

Outside philately, Melville was editor of the Heartsease Library, Cosy Corner, Good Words and Sunday Magazine. Melville's skill as a journalist has been partly attributed to the training he received from the press baron Sir Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe, founder of The Daily Mirror and The Mail.

Organised philately
Melville was active in many branches of philately. He was a member of the Fiscal Philatelic Society from 1911 and he served on many philatelic exhibition juries. He won the Congress Cup at the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain in 1935, for his work The Lives of the Forgers and when the Postal History Society was founded in 1936, he was elected as the first President of the society. He appears in the 1938 Blue Book of Philately where his specialism is shown as philatelic literature and his address is given as 10a Ardberg Road, Herne Hill, London.

Melville organised the Imperial Stamp Exhibition of 1908, the War Stamps Exhibition in 1915 and the first international airpost exhibition, APEX, in 1934. He also edited the catalogues for the international philatelic exhibitions held in London in 1912 and 1923. In 1915 an exhibition titled War Stamps with Tango Teas was arranged by Melville at the Florence Restaurant in London. In addition to the stamp exhibition, an orchestra played daily and Melville was reported as being "the only one who braved the intricacies of the Tango, the Boston, and the Maxixe".

Although principally an author and journalist, Melville did also deal in stamps and a full page advert appeared in Stamp Lover in June 1920 offering stamps for sale from the firm of Fred J. Melville Ltd.

Legacy
Melville died on 12 January 1940 and his funeral took place at Lambeth Cemetery, Tooting, London on 16 January. Fred was not married and was survived by his sister Mrs Helen P. Terry (née Melville). In 1941 he was posthumously inducted into the APS Hall of Fame. After his death, Melville's extensive philatelic library was purchased by the United States Library of Congress but it was not delivered until 1947 due to the effects of World War Two. Today it is split between that library and the library of the National Postal Museum, part of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries.

The Milton Centre Historic District encompasses the traditional civic heart of Milton, Massachusetts.  The district is located on Canton Avenue between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets, and includes municipal buildings, churches, and residences, most built in the 18th or 19th century.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Description and history
Milton Centre is located on a prominence known local as Academy Hill.  The town was settled in 1633 as part of Dorchester, and was separately incorporated in 1662.  Its first meetinghouse was built on Milton Hill, but Academy Hill was selected in 1727 (after many years of controversy) as the site of the town's third meetinghouse.  The fourth meetinghouse, built in 1788, is now the First Parish Church, and is the oldest surviving building in the center.  The town's economic activity was focused along the Neponset River, and the town center remained relatively rural until the 19th century, when Milton Academy was founded and located on land to its east.  This was joined by the First Congregational Church in 1834, and a new town hall in 1837.  The site of that town hall is where the present town hall (built 1970) is located.

The historic district consists of eleven historically significant buildings, set on about  of land bisected by Canton Avenue, between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets.  The district's civic buildings also include the town library, and two of its oldest surviving fire station buildings, including a rare example of an early chemical fire engine house.  It also includes an 1811 powder house, which stored munitions during the War of 1812, and monuments commemorating the town's contributors to national efforts in the American Civil War and World War I.

The Old Barn is a historic barn off Blue Hill River Road in Canton, Massachusetts.

Based on the construction methods used, it is estimated to have been built between 1690 and 1720, and is the oldest building on Brookwood Farm. It is currently undergoing a major restoration undertaken by the North Bennet Street School.  They have removed the oldest  section for major work to repair rot and insect damage. It is expected to be returned to the site in 2010 or 2011. All of the photographs here are of the portions of the barn built after the original barn.

The barn was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Old Barn on September 25, 1980.

The siege of Deventer was a siege of Deventer (then a major Hanseatic city) in 1456 during a struggle between Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy and the church, the nobility, and cities of the Oversticht (Overijssel).

The Siege
Over the 15th century the Dukes of Burgundy became more and more influential in the Netherlands, striving for a stronger and more centralised grip on the country. In 1456 Duke Philip the Good made his illegitimate son David of Burgundy to be the successor of Rudolf van Diepholt as bishop of Utrecht. Overijssel's cities and nobility resented a Burgundian overlord and planned not to recognise Philip's choice, with the chapters of the Sticht Utrecht favouring another candidate, Gijsbrecht of Brederode. Philip thus took up arms and besieged Deventer for five weeks to make it accept his decision, which it finally did, accepting David as Deventer's temporal and spiritual overlord.

The Glasgow razor gangs were violent gangs that existed in the East End and South Side of Glasgow, Scotland in the late 1920s and 1930s and were named after their weapon of choice. H. Kingsley Long's novel No Mean City (1935) contains a fictionalised account of these gangs.

History

The tradition of gang formation in Glasgow stretched back at least to the 1880s, and gang rivalries appear to have derived a momentum of their own during the late-nineteenth century, irrespective of short-term economic trends, both in Glasgow and in other British municipalities.
One of the original gangs to coin the Glasgow smile was the St Mungies Warriors in 1925.

Religious sectarianism had been rife in Scotland for centuries; however, the centre of it all was in Glasgow. Originally, Glasgow had been mainly Protestant, but in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, large numbers of Roman Catholic Irish immigrants came to the west coast of Scotland; drawn by jobs in the local industries.

Protestants became irritated at the increasing unemployment rate and blamed the influx of Catholics. Between November 1930 and May 1935, Glasgow's unemployment rate was between 25-33%. While it would be misleading to claim that mass unemployment was the sole cause of gang conflicts in inter-war Glasgow, the advent of mass unemployment does appear to have led to two significant new patterns in gang formation. Firstly, as unemployment peaked locally in the early-1930s and long-term unemployment posed increasing concern, it became more common for young men in their twenties, and even thirties, to remain active members of street gangs, some of which appear to have provided an important focus for jobless men.

In the 1920s, Glasgow became known for its gang violence particularly in the Gorbals area, leading to the portrayal of Glasgow as one of Britain's most violent cities. Relations between the gangs and the police were violent on both sides, as police officers and local youths contested ownership of the streets. Throughout the 1930s, the police in Glasgow maintained a network of paid informers, including bar staff employed in public houses in the poorer districts of the South Side and the East End, in order to gather information concerning the planned activities of local street gangs.

Confrontations between gangs and police officers frequently followed police attempts to take gang members into custody. For example, in July 1939, a major disturbance erupted in the Gorbals as the Beehive Boys and the South Side Stickers reportedly joined forces to confront police officers who were taking two prisoners to the police station. 'Hundreds' of local people gathered at the main street corners, and police reinforcements were stoned as they arrived in Thistle Street in squad cars and vans. As the disturbance spread, shop windows were smashed, and police officers were forced to stand guard to prevent looting.

Gang rivalry
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, most of Glasgow's street gangs were territorially based in working-class districts. This was reflected in the choice of names such as the Bridgeton Billy Boys, the Calton Entry, and the South Side Stickers. The Beehive Boys took their name from a draper's shop situated at the corner of Thistle Street and Cumberland Street in the Gorbals.

Many gangs were active in the city; however, two of the most infamous were the former Penny Mobs, the Bridgeton Billy Boys and the Norman Conks. By the end of the 1930s, more gangs such as the Beehive Boys, the San Toi, Tongs, the Fleet, Govan Team, Den Toi, Bal Toi, Drummy, Provy, Aggro, skinheads, Tiny Torran Toi and Bingo Boys had come into existence.

Glasgow gangs were divided between those that were solely territorial and those that combined territorial and sectarian allegiances, such as the Protestant Bridgeton (or Billy) Boys who frequently clashed with the Roman Catholic Norman Conks in the East End of the city. The Billy Boys would meet at Bridgeton Cross, their claimed territory. The Norman Conks would gather in a street which was roughly half a kilometre south. The fact that the two were so close geographically caused many fights.

The Billy Boys were founded and led by Billy Fullerton, a former member of the British Fascists. Fullerton also later became a member of the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. The Billy Boys adopted a militaristic style of behaviour, marching on parades, forming their own bands, composing their own songs and music, and all dressed in a similar manner. The Billy Boys also formed a junior group whose members were teenagers called the Derry Boys.

In the early 1930s, gang numbers started to decrease, mainly due to the work of the chief constable of the City of Glasgow Police, Sir Percy Sillitoe. Brought in due to his work with similar gangs in Sheffield, his tactic was to recruit big, strong men from rural areas and the Scottish Highlands. Due also to the start of World War II, the Billy boys went into decline in the late 1930s.

Later gangs

In the late 1960s a moral panic swept Glasgow, with media and police attention focused on new youth gangs that were younger, more violent and more dangerous than the Glasgow razor gangs of the 1920s and 1930s. By the turn of the 21st century, Glasgow had the highest number of street gangs in the UK. In 2006, there were as many 'young teams' in Greater Glasgow as in London, the UK capital, which is geographically six times as large. The numbers of young people involved in gangs and the violence inflicted in statistical terms reduced significantly over the next decade, due to various factors including successful initiatives to engage with gang members by organisations such as the Violence Reduction Unit. However, organised crime groups remained a significant problem in the city.

The Railway Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing a densely populated, predominantly residential, area of eastern Milton, Massachusetts.  The  district lies roughly between East Milton Square and the town line with neighboring Quincy.  The area's significant growth occurred after the 1826 construction of the Granite Railway, which transported stone from the nearby granite quarries to the Neponset River.  This resulted in the movement to the area of stone workers and related interests.  The principal thoroughfare of the district is Adams Street; the district extends along Pierce Street, Granite Place, and Washington Street, and includes properties on intervening and connecting streets.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

The Refreshment Pavilion is a historic refreshment stand at Houghton's Pond in the Milton portion of Blue Hills Reservation, a Massachusetts state park.  Built in 1920, it is one of a series of architect-designed structures built in the park by the Metropolitan District Commission.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Description and history
The Refreshment Pavilion is located near the northern shore of Houghton's Pond, a body of water in the southwestern part of the Blue Hills Reservation.  It is set south of Hillside Street, the access road for the pond's beach area, which is located east of the pavilion.  It is a single-story rectangular stone structure with a gable roof.  Oculus windows are set in the gables, surrounded by louvered openings, and there are covered pergola-like porches extending from some of its sides supported by slatted supporting columns.

The Blue Hills are a range of hills located about  south of downtown Boston.  For many years they were largely undeveloped, and became a popular recreational destination by the late 19th century.  The Metropolitan Parks Commission, created by the state to establish a network of parks and roadways around the Greater Boston area (and a predecessor to the MDC and today's Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, or DCR), formally acquired the reservation land in the early 1890s, but did no active development of amenities and infrastructure.  By 1899, the need for roadways and other features was apparent, and the MDC hired the Boston firm Stickney and Austin to design structures for the reservation.  Between 1899 and 1926 Stickney and Austin designed a number of structures, seven of which survive today.  The Refreshment Pavilion at Houghton's Pond is one of these, exhibiting the use of high-quality materials and design sought by the firm and the MDC.  It was built in 1920 on the site of the Ralph Houghton house which was built in 1690 and demolished in 1896 to make way for the development of the Blue Hills Reservation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Refreshment  on September 25, 1980. It is still in use as a refreshment stand.

The Scott's Woods Historic District is a historic district on Hillside Street between Randolph Avenue and the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts.  This rural-residential area has a long history, and is named for the Scott family, who were early settlers of the area.  The oldest house in the district, the First Period Bernard Capen House, was moved here in 1909.  Two houses built in the district in the mid-18th century survive.  The district is otherwise reflective of Milton's growth from a rural community to a mainly residential suburb of adjacent Boston.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

The Suffolk Resolves House is the building where the Suffolk Resolves were signed on September 4, 1774. The Resolves were an important predecessor document to the 1774 Continental Association and the 1776 Declaration of Independence.  At that time, it was owned by Daniel Vose, who at his marriage had combined two existing buildings to make one house. The two parts are shown in the two gallery photographs. The oldest framing beams have been dated using dendrochronology which indicates that the trees used in the oldest portion of the house were felled in 1763.

To prevent its demolition in 1950, Dr. and Mrs. James Bourne Ayer moved it from its original location on Adams Street (where Citizens Bank now is) to its present location. They had it restored by William Morris Hunt  and later gave it to the Milton Historical Society, for which it serves as headquarters.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1973.

David of Burgundy (c. February 142616 April 1494) was the bishop of Utrecht from 1456. The illegitimate son of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, David was made bishop by his father in an attempt to enforce more centralised Burgundian control over the Netherlands. He also served as bishop of Thérouanne from 1451 to 1456. He is the third longest-reigning bishop of Utrecht after Balderic and Willibrord, holding the see until his death in 1494.

David of Burgundy was bishop of Thérouanne (Terwaan) from 1451. Thanks to a joint effort between the Cods and Burgundy, he was appointed as bishop of Utrecht by the pope. The Utrecht chapters, however, had elected the Hook-favoured provost Gijsbrecht van Brederode as bishop. But Philip the Good forced the Nedersticht to accept David's appointment on 3 August 1456 at the treaty of IJsselstein. The Oversticht had to be forcefully convinced as well. Deventer was besieged for five weeks before it surrendered.

The opposition against him remained and therefore David left Utrecht in 1459 to settle in the newly acquired Wijk bij Duurstede, where he resided for the rest of his life. Thanks to Burgundian support and clever politics, his authority rose. Another effective measure was the creation of the Schive, a central court of appeal that was above city law.

A breakthrough meant the capture of Gijsbrecht van Brederode and his brother Reinoud in 1470. This led to the First Utrecht Civil War (1470–74), won by David.

Because of the Burgundian power of that time, David of Burgundy was one of the most powerful bishops in Europe. He appointed the schout, wrested criminal jurisdiction from the council, controlled the tolls and lessened the influence of the city on the farmlands.

The death of his half-brother Charles the Bold in 1477 changed everything. David's politics led to a revolt of supporters of the Hook party in 1481. A new civil war erupted and David was captured. Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor had to intervene to free the bishop. David then reconquered Utrecht in the Battle of Westbroek, only to be driven out again in 1483. After the successful Siege of Utrecht, the revolt came to an end in 1483.

David of Burgundy was an art lover; he attracted artists to his court and gave a powerful impulse to the construction of the Dom Church in Utrecht. He modernised his residence, the Duurstede Castle at Wijk bij Duurstede, and he is also responsible for the large church there. The Museum Catharijneconvent holds a beautiful Cope of David of Burgundy.

David's last years were focussed on restoring the financial situation that had been ruined by the civil war of 1481–83, and balancing the influence of the Habsburgs, who had by then come to possess Holland, and Guelders.

David died in 1494 and was buried in the church of Wijk bij Duurstede.

Arshak Gavafian, better known by his nom de guerre Keri (1858 – 15 May 1916), was an Armenian fedayee military commander and member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.

Biography
Arshak Gavafian was born in Erzurum. He graduated from the local Armenian school. Gavafian had soon taken part in Armenian resistance activity. In 1895, during the Hamidian massacres in Erzurum, Gavafian led an armed group to protect Armenian people in the region and soon became their spiritual leader.

Gavafian moved to Sasun in 1903 and took part in the 1904 Sasun uprising. After moving to Vaspurakan, he was one of the organizers of the Armenian self-defense of Zangezur (in particular, Angeghakot) during the Armenian–Tatar massacres. In the following years he took part in the Persian Constitutional Revolution from 1908 to 1912 and was an associate of Yeprem Khan. After Yeprem's death, Gavafian had his killers liquidated in revenge and took the leadership of the Caucasian troops.

After the declaration of the First World War, Keri became the commander of the 4th Armenian volunteer battalion of the Imperial Russian Army in 1914. Keri led the volunteer unit in the Battle of Sarikamish at the Barduz pass. Victory was largely determined by the courage of the Armenian soldiers and military genius of Keri, who relieved the besieged Russian and Armenian troops at Rowanduz in 1916.

In 1916, on his way to Mosul from Rowanduz, Keri and his detachment were surrounded and, while trying to get out, he was killed in battle. After his death, his body was transferred to Tiflis and buried within the Armenian Khojivank cemetery.

The Arcade Building is a historic commercial building at 314–320A Harvard Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1926, it is a two-story cast stone structure, with an interior arcade lined by small shops. It is the only arcaded commercial building in Brookline. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Description and history
The Arcade Building is located on the south side of Harvard Street, a major north–south route through eastern Brookline. It is on the west side of Coolidge Corner, one of the town's major retail areas. It is a two-story commercial structure, built out of concrete and cast stone. The front facade is topped by a precast concrete frieze, with Gothic spires above at the bounds of the building's five bays. The interior of the building consists of a long two-story skylit atrium that is flanked by small shops on two levels. The interior retains many of its original features and fixtures.

The Arcade was built in 1926 by a local real estate developer named Johnson, to a design by George N. Jacobs. It is the only building of its type in Brookline, reminiscent of (but on a much smaller scale than) the Westminster Arcade, the nation's first enclosed shopping arcade, in Providence, Rhode Island. At the time of its construction, that part of Harvard Avenue was undergoing a rapid transition from a predominantly residential area to a more densely-built commercial area. The building continues to house retail spaces and professional offices.

John Franklin Wharton (1894–1977) was a prominent American lawyer and founding partner of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Wharton's work was steeped in the classic era of Broadway theatre; he was an aficionado of the stage from his youth, and his practice as a lawyer developed around a series of representations that helped shape the theater business in the United States.

Biography
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Wharton attended Williams College, New York Law School and Columbia Law School, which awarded him a Bachelor of Law in 1920. With fellow Columbia Law student Louis Weiss, Wharton formed the predecessor firm that would eventually become Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. He served as partner in the firm until his retirement in 1977.

Wharton's second marriage was to Betty Ann Fisher, an actress who performed under the stage name Mary Mason.

Career

Theatrical Work
Wharton's work in theatrical representations began early in his career with Dwight Deere Wiman, a prominent Broadway producer. Wiman introduced Wharton to Cole Porter, who became one of Wharton's enduring clients; Wharton was named by Porter as one co-executor of his estate and the sole trustee of the Cole Porter Musical and Literary Property Trusts.

Wharton represented many other theatre and film artists, including Selznick International Pictures during the filming of Gone With the Wind. He also became involved in producing theatre as well: along with writers Maxwell Anderson, Elmer Rice, Sidney Howard, Robert E. Sherwood and S.N. Behrman, Wharton founded the Playwrights' Company in 1938.

Wharton is also credited with creating contract norms that became standard agreements in the entertainment industry, including a uniform partner agreement that defined the financial interests of producers.

Corporate Representations
Wharton's work also included non-theatrical clients, such as the interests of the Marshall Fields estates, American Houses, an early housing prefabricator, and Benson and Hedges Ltd.

Published works
Wharton was an accomplished author, with several titles to his credit, including books on economics ("The Theory and Practice of Making a Living" and "The Road to Recovery") as well as a memoir of his time with the Playwright's Company ("Life Among the Playwrights"), and a novel ("The Explorations of George Burton") that dealt with psychology, an interest of his throughout his career.

The Benjamin White House is a historic house at 203 Heath Street in Brookline, Massachusetts.  Built in 1790, this two-story wood-frame house is one of the oldest on Heath Street.  It has been moved twice: once when the Cabot family established a large estate in the area, at which time they moved it back from Heath Street and added a barn, and again in 1947, when the barn was demolished and the house moved onto its foundation.  Much of the interior finish was lost during interior remodelling in the 1940s, but the exterior has retained much of its 18th and 19th century trim.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

The Philatelic Foundation is a philatelic organization granted a charter in 1945 by the University of the State of New York as a Nonprofit Educational Institution.

Location
The Philatelic Foundation is located at 341 West 38th Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10018.

Philatelic expertise
The Philatelic Foundation maintains a reference collection of postage stamps and is a major source of authentication of rare and valuable postage stamps for stamp collectors who wish to know if the “valuable” stamp they have is authentic or counterfeit, and, if it is authentic, whether it is free of defect.

If the stamp submitted is authentic, a certification, containing a photo of the stamp and related technical details, is issued and sent to the person submitting the stamp.

Obtaining a certification of a valuable postage stamp by a stamp collector or a stamp dealer may be done for various reasons:
 personal satisfaction that the stamp purchased is authentic
 ease of subsequent sale of the stamp with its certificate of authenticity

Publications
The Philatelic Foundation issues various publications on philatelic literature, including, for example, Analysis and Counterfeit Leaflets, quarterly magazines and bimonthly newsletters.

The Philatelic Foundation has long encouraged the creation of a diverse group of publications. This includes the “Opinions” books (I-VIII), The Pony Express – A Postal History by Richard C. Frajola, George J. Kramer and Steven C. Walske and Hawaii Foreign Mail to 1870 by Fred F. Gregory.

As part of being a non-profit, The Philatelic Foundation also keeps an up-to-date website which features various free resources for collectors. This includes recently expertized items, research articles, a section on fakes and forgeries, among much more.

Other experts
Although the Philatelic Foundation is a recognized major source of philatelic expertise, especially of stamps issued in the United States, there are numerous other philatelic experts listed in stamp catalogs of various countries.

The Krnov Synagogue () is a synagogue in Krnov, Czech Republic. It was built in 1871. It is one of only three surviving synagogues in the Moravian-Silesian Region (the others are at Nový Jičín and Český Těšín).

Description

The exterior of the building with twin towers and round-arched windows is in an eclectic, round-arched, Rundbogenstil neo-romantic style. The interior is Moorish Revival, especially the wooden carved coffered ceiling (painted in reddish brown) and the arcade of the women's galleries.

History

1938–1945
The Krnov Synagogue stopped to be used for religious services in autumn 1938, when the Sudetenland was incorporated into Nazi Germany. Not long afterwards, on 9 November 1938, almost all synagogues in the surrounding towns – as anywhere in Nazi Germany – were destroyed during the Reichskristallnacht prosecution.

However, the synagogue was saved. End of October 1938, the mayor of Krnov, Oskar König, had received a secret order from Berlin to destroy and burn down the synagogue of his town on 9 November. Unwilling to comply, he summoned a meeting of the councillors and informed them about the order he had received. The Sudeten councillors then unanimously accepted the proposal of the builder Franz Irblich to deceive the Nazis: They decided to remove all symbols of the Jewish religion from the building and change it into a town market hall, reporting to Berlin that there was no synagogue in Jägerndorf which could be destroyed. As such the building was used until the end of World War II in 1945.

After 1945
After World War II the German population of Krnov was expelled and the building of the synagogue was first used as a warehouse, than as a regional archive. It was damaged during the 1997 Central European flood, two years later it was finally returned to the Jewish community in Olomouc with no Jewish community in Krnov existing anymore. Between 2003 and 2014 it was thoroughly renovated. Today, credit is given to Franz Irblich to be the savior of the synagogue also by the now Czech town of Krnov. In 1946, Irblich had received a 10 years sentence by a Czechoslovak extraordinary court after accusations of being a Nazi.

Micrelenchus  sanguineus is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Trochidae, the top shells.

Subspecies
 Cantharidus sanguineus bakeri Fleming, 1948: synonym of Roseaplagis artizona A. Adams, 1853
 Cantharidus sanguineus var. elongatus Suter, 1897:synonym of Roseaplagis artizona A. Adams, 1853
 Cantharidus sanguineus cryptus (Powell, 1946): synonym of Micrelenchus sanguineus (Gray in Dieffenbach, 1843)

Description
The shell grows to a length of 9 mm, its diameter 7 mm.
The small,  imperforate shell has a conical shape. It is greenish or whitish with bloodred spots. Its sculpture consists of spiral cinguli with very narrow grooves between them, 5 to 6 on the penultimate and 10 to 14 on the body whorl. Sometimes these are slightly moniliform. The base contains about 5 cinguli. The colour of the shell is green, with oblique longitudinal rows of blood-red spots on the cinguli. The first three whorls are sometimes reddish or brownish with radiate white streaks, below the suture very often tessellated with white, brown, and red.

The acute spire is elevated conical, with sides slightly convex. The protoconch is conic with 1½ strongly convex smooth whorls, which are mostly pearly. The six whorls of the spire are flatly convex, the last angled at the periphery. The base of the shell is slightly convex. The sutures are impressed. The oblique aperture is iridescent and lirate within. The outer lip is solid, often strengthened within by a white
callosity. The arcuate columella is nearly vertical. The inner lip spreads a little over the umbilical tract, which is impressed and concave. The parietal wall contains a more or less thick callus.

Distribution
This marine species is endemic to New Zealand and occurs off North, South and Stewart Island.
