Ernest Albert Coxhead (1863–1933) was an English-born architect, active in the United States. He was trained in the offices of several English architects and attended the Royal Academy and the Architectural Association School of Architecture, both in London. He moved to California where he was the semi-official architect for the Episcopal Church. At the beginning of his career, Ernest Coxhead focused on designing churches, primarily in the Gothic Revival style. After the mid-1890s, Coxhead focused on residential designs. He was involved in the emergence of the Arts and Crafts style in California. He succeeded in designing residences that incorporated the elements and character of the English country house - shingled, Arts and Crafts style English Vernacular Cottages that combined elements from different periods for dramatic effect.

Early life
Ernest Albert Coxhead was born in Eastbourne, East Sussex, the fourth of six children of William Coxhead, a retired schoolmaster. At the age of 15 Ernest became articled to civil engineer George Wallis. After five years experience in both public projects and residential developments, in 1883 Coxhead left Eastbourne for London. In London he worked for architect Frederic Chancellor, who restored gothic churches.

Los Angeles
Coxhead moved with his older brother, Almeric William Sylvester Coxhead (1862–1928), to Los Angeles, California in 1886, where he established an independent practice, and soon secured commissions to design several Episcopal Churches in Southern California.

San Francisco

Coxhead's success with these projects led to commissions for several more churches in Northern California.  He moved to San Francisco and opened the Coxhead and Coxhead office in 1890, with Almeric as his business partner.  Seventeen Coxhead church buildings were constructed, of which eleven are extant. In 1893 his Episcopal Church client, Bishop William Kip, died and Coxhead started to concentrate on residential work.  His residences include townhouses in San Francisco and large homes in Palo Alto, Alameda, and Berkeley.

From 1918 to 1919, Coxhead went to LeMans, France, to organize and direct the American Expeditionary Force's University School of Architecture, established by John Galen Howard, for members of the United States armed forces stationed in France. He was subsequently appointed Chief of the University Extension Field Work of the Fine Arts Department at the University School of Architecture in Beaune, France.

Coxhead returned to the United States and lived in Berkeley until his death in 1933.  A collection of his work can be found in the Environmental Design Archives at the College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley.

Bragg v. Linden Research, Inc., 487 F. Supp. 2d 593 (E.D. Pa. 2007), was a ruling at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The case resulted in an important early ruling on the enforceability of an online End User License Agreement (EULA) under American contract law, though it did not ultimately gain influence as a precedent. The ruling also clarified the matter of personal jurisdiction for a dispute involving a user of a website that originates in a different region.

Background
Linden Lab (owned by the corporate entity Linden Research, Inc.), an online virtual world service provider known for the popular Second Life, terminated the account of user Marc Bragg when it discovered that Bragg had found a way to acquire land in the virtual world at a lower-than-market price by manipulating in-game auctions. This was deemed an act of hacking that violated the Second Life End User License Agreement. Linden Lab conducted an investigation and then closed Bragg's account completely. In the process, Bragg's virtual assets within the game were dissolved; Bragg claimed that those assets were worth between US $4,000 and $6,000.

Bragg filed suit, originally at the West Chester District Court in Pennsylvania in 2006. Linden Lab argued that the case should be removed to federal court due to the facts of the case, and claimed that courts in Pennsylvania lacked personal jurisdiction because Linden Lab was headquartered in California. Linden Lab also claimed that the dispute should not be heard in court at all but should go to arbitration, due to the arbitration clause found in the Second Life EULA. Bragg's efforts to resist the move to federal court were unsuccessful.

District court proceedings
In May 2007, Judge Eduardo C. Robreno of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania rejected Linden Lab's argument that his court and others in Pennsylvania lacked personal jurisdiction in the dispute, because the company had engaged in nationwide marketing efforts to publicize Second Life and the virtual world was available to customers in Pennsylvania. This satisfied the minimum contacts that are necessary for personal jurisdiction.

Having thus determined that his court had jurisdiction, Robreno then denied Linden Lab's attempt to force the dispute into arbitration, finding that the EULA containing this requirement had been constructed as a contract of adhesion for which users like Bragg were given no opportunity to negotiate. Bragg had argued that the arbitration clause in the EULA was "both procedurally and substantively unconscionable and is itself evidence of defendants' scheme to deprive Plaintiff (and others) of both their money and their day in court."

Robreno agreed, noting that the terms of service were presented by Linden Lab on a "take-it-or-leave-it-basis." However, he limited this holding by noting that a claim of unconscionability for a contract will only succeed if there are no "reasonably available market alternatives" available to the weaker party. This worked in Bragg's favor in the present case. Although there were numerous other online virtual worlds available to Bragg at the time, Judge Robreno noted that Second Life was unique in that it allowed participants to retain property rights in virtual land. Thus, the Second Life EULA was found to be unenforceable under contract law due to its unconscionable provisions.

Impact and subsequent developments
Bragg and Linden Lab later reached an out of court settlement in which Bragg's full "privileges and responsibilities to the Second Life community" were restored. At the time of the district court ruling, some commentators believed that it could become an important precedent on arbitration clauses and other unconscionable provisions that are forced upon Internet users by the operators of online games and platforms. However, the ruling turned out to be an outlier because later court disputes over objectionable EULAs were almost uniformly ruled in favor of Internet firms as long as users had a chance to read the terms of service with an obvious opportunity to accept or reject the terms before continuing to use the site or software. On the other hand, this ruling is often cited in later cases involving specific disputes within virtual world platforms in which property can be bought and sold.

"Message to the Grass Roots" is a public speech delivered by black civil rights activist Malcolm X. The speech was delivered on November 10, 1963, at the Northern Negro Grass Roots Leadership Conference, which was held at King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan. Malcolm X described the difference between the "Black revolution" and the "Negro revolution", he contrasted the "house Negro" and the "field Negro" during slavery and in the modern age, and he criticized the 1963 March on Washington. "Message to the Grass Roots" was ranked 91st in the top 100 American speeches of the 20th century by 137 leading scholars of American public address.

The speech

A common enemy
Malcolm X began his speech by emphasizing the common experience of all African Americans, regardless of their religious or political beliefs:

What you and I need to do is learn to forget our differences. When we come together, we don't come together as Baptists or Methodists. You don't catch hell because you're a Baptist, and you don't catch hell because you're a Methodist. You don't catch hell 'cause you're a Methodist or Baptist. You don't catch hell because you're a Democrat or a Republican. You don't catch hell because you're a Mason or an Elk, and you sure don't catch hell because you're an American; because if you were an American, you wouldn't catch hell. You catch hell because you're a Black man. You catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Not only did Black Americans share a common experience, Malcolm X continued, they also shared a common enemy: white people. He said that African Americans should come together on the basis that they shared a common enemy.

Malcolm X described the Bandung Conference of 1955, at which representatives of Asian and African nations met to discuss their common enemy: Europeans. He said that just as the members of the Bandung Conference put aside their differences, so Black Americans must put aside their differences and unite.

The Black revolution and the Negro revolution
Next, Malcolm X spoke about what he called the "Black revolution" and the "Negro revolution". He said that Black people were using the word "revolution" loosely without realizing its full implications. He pointed out that the American, French, Russian, and Chinese Revolutions were all carried out by people concerned about the issue of land, and that all four revolutions involved bloodshed. He said that the Black revolutions taking place in Africa also involved land and bloodshed.

By contrast, Malcolm X said, advocates of the Negro revolution in the United States think they can have a nonviolent revolution:

You don't have a peaceful revolution. You don't have a turn-the-other-cheek revolution. There's no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. The only kind of revolution that's nonviolent is the Negro revolution. The only revolution based on loving your enemy is the Negro revolution. ... Revolution is bloody, revolution is hostile, revolution knows no compromise, revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. And you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, "I'm going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me." No, you need a revolution. Whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, singing "We Shall Overcome"? You don't do that in a revolution. You don't do any singing, you're too busy swinging. It's based on land. A revolutionary wants land so he can set up his own nation, an independent nation. These Negroes aren't asking for any nation—they're trying to crawl back on the plantation.

The house Negro and the field Negro
Malcolm X spoke about two types of enslaved Africans: the "house Negro" and the "field Negro". The house Negro lived in his owner's house, dressed well, and ate well. He loved his owner as much as the owner loved himself, and he identified with his owner. If the owner got sick, the house Negro would ask, "Are we sick?" If somebody suggested to the house Negro that he escape slavery, he would refuse to go, asking where he could possibly have a better life than the one he had.

Malcolm X described the field Negros, who he said were the majority of slaves on a plantation. The field Negro lived in a shack, wore raggedy clothes, and ate chittlins. He hated his owner. If the owner's house caught fire, the field Negro prayed for wind. If the owner got sick, the field Negro prayed for him to die. If somebody suggested to the field Negro that he escape, he would leave in an instant.

Malcolm X said that there are still house Negroes and field Negroes. The modern house Negro, he said, was always interested in living or working among white people and bragging about being the only African American in his neighborhood or on his job. Malcolm X said the Black masses were modern field Negroes and described himself as a field Negro.

The March on Washington
Finally, Malcolm X spoke about the March on Washington, which had taken place on August 28, 1963. He said the impetus behind the march was the masses of African Americans, who were angry and threatening to march on the White House and the Capitol. Malcolm X said there were threats to disrupt traffic on the streets of Washington and at its airport. He described it as the Black revolution.

Malcolm X said that President Kennedy called the Big Six civil rights leaders and told them to stop the march, but they told him they couldn't. "Boss, I can't stop it, because I didn't start it." "I'm not even in it, much less the head of it." Malcolm X described how white philanthropist Stephen Currier called a meeting in New York to set up the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership, which provided money and public relations for the Big Six leaders, who took control over the March. As a result, he said, the March on Washington lost its militancy and became "a circus".

They controlled it so tight, they told those Negroes what time to hit town, how to come, where to stop, what signs to carry, what song to sing, what speech they could make, and what speech they couldn't make; and then told them to get out town by sundown. And everyone of those Toms was out of town by sundown.

Analysis
"Message to the Grass Roots" was one of Malcolm X's last speeches as a member of the Nation of Islam. A few weeks after delivering the speech, Elijah Muhammad, the Nation's leader, silenced Malcolm X for comments he made with respect to the assassination of President Kennedy. On March 8, 1964, Malcolm X announced his departure from the Nation of Islam.

In some ways, "Message to the Grass Roots" can be viewed as a sign of Malcolm X's impending separation from the Nation of Islam. In it, he spoke not as a Muslim minister but as a leader of the Black masses. Gloria Richardson, who was present, later remembered: "That was when I really wondered how long it would be before he broke with [the Nation of Islam]."

"Message to the Grass Roots" was the most "political" speech Malcolm X had delivered to that time. The political message of the speech was beyond the teachings of the Nation of Islam.

Some of the themes touched on by Malcolm X in "Message to the Grass Roots" were familiar ones. The distinction between the Black revolution and the Negro revolution, and that between the house Negro and the field Negro, had become common features of his speeches.

Regarding the March on Washington, theologian James H. Cone writes that "Malcolm's language was harsh, but it was the truth". According to Cone, the march was controlled by the Black bourgeoisie and the white liberals who financed it. The organizers forced John Lewis to rewrite his speech because it was considered offensive to the Kennedy administration, and James Baldwin was not allowed to speak out of fear for what he might say.

Legacy
Public Enemy edited two samples from "Message to the Grass Roots" for the introduction to their 1987 song "Bring the Noise", making it sound like Malcolm X said "Too black, too strong."

In 1988, an edited quote from the speech was used at the beginning of the song "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour:
And during the few moments that we have left, we want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand.

In 1990, DJ Hype and Phivos Sebastiane with the alias "The Scientist" used a cut from the speech for their breakbeat hardcore song "The Exorcist":
Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

Gang Starr used part of "Message to the Grass Roots" for the beginning of their song "Tonz 'O' Gunz" from their 1994 album "Hard to Earn".

Composer Hideki Naganuma sampled the "too black, too strong" excerpt for the final boss theme of the 2005 video game Sonic Rush, "Wrapped in Black".

Key excerpts
 "We want to have just an off-the-cuff chat between you and me, us. We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand."
 "It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. If you pour too much cream in, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it'll put you to sleep."

Alex Saviuk (; born August 17, 1952) is an American comics artist primarily known for his work on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man.

Early life
Alex Saviuk grew up on Long Island, New York, graduating from Floral Park Memorial High School in 1970. He attended the School of Visual Arts, where he studied with (among others) Will Eisner, graduating in 1974 with a degree in Illustration. Saviuk also studied biology at Hofstra University and York College.

Career
Saviuk's professional career began in 1977 at DC Comics, where he illustrated such titles as Green Lantern, The Flash, and Superman. Saviuk's first work for DC was a one-page story titled "The Victim!" in  House of Mystery #255 (Nov.-Dec. 1977). His first full work for the company, Green Lantern #100 (Jan. 1978), introduced an updated version of the Air Wave character. Saviuk drew The Flash #275 (July 1979) wherein the title character's wife, Iris West Allen was killed.

In the early 1980s, Saviuk was the regular backup feature artist on Action Comics, where he drew the exploits of Air Wave, Aquaman, and the Atom in collaboration with writer Bob Rozakis. Rozakis stated in a 2014 interview that "I don't recall how we ended up with the three of them. It may have simply been that all three had names that began with 'A' and it was a backup in Action Comics". Saviuk frequently drew the "Whatever Happened to...?" backup feature in DC Comics Presents. He and writer E. Nelson Bridwell introduced the Global Guardians in DC Comics Presents #46 (June 1982).

In 1986, Saviuk moved to Marvel Comics, where he eventually established himself as a key Spider-Man artist with a seven-year run on Web of Spider-Man (issues #35–116). It was the longest run of a single artist on that series. In 1989, he drew The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives graphic novel. From 1994 to 1997, Saviuk worked on the series Spider-Man Adventures (later retitled The Adventures of Spider-Man). Beginning in 1997, Saviuk drew The Amazing Spider-Man Sunday newspaper comic strip, written by Stan Lee and inked by Joe Sinnott. Starting in 2003, he inked the daily Spider-Man strip, pencilled by Lee's brother Larry Lieber. After Lieber retired from the daily strip in September 2018, Saviuk took over as penciller as well and stayed on until the cancellation of the strip in March 2019. He created variant covers for Symbiote Spider-Man #1–5 (2019).

In 1997–1998, he spent a one-year stint at Topps Comics drawing The X-Files until the end of its run. For writer and filmmaker Robert Tinnell, Saviuk (alternating with Ed Piskor) did the artwork for the comic strip Feast of the Seven Fishes, first published online and, in 2005, as a collected print edition which has been nominated for an Eisner Award as "Best Graphic Album - Reprint" in 2006. In 2018, Tinnell adapted it for an eponymous movie.

In 2004, Alex Saviuk returned to The Phantom, a character he had already drawn in Defenders of the Earth in 1987, this time for European publisher Egmont. He has drawn numerous Fantomen (The Phantom) comics since then. From 2018 to 2019, he pencilled and inked the first and fourth issue of the new anthology series The Phantom Strikes.

Some of the characters Saviuk has co-created include Arkiss Chummuck and Malet Dasim of the Green Lantern Corps (with Bob Toomey), Sunburst (with Paul Kupperberg), Olympian (with E. Nelson Bridwell), Tombstone (with Gerry Conway), Nightwatch and the New Enforcers (both with Terry Kavanagh).

In addition to comics, Saviuk does storyboards for advertising agencies and, occasionally, film and animation studios. Among the films he storyboarded are Hoot and Never Back Down.

Saviuk lives in Florida with his wife. They have two children.

Chad–Romania relations refers to bilateral relations between Chad and Romania. Diplomatic relations were established on 15 July 1969. Neither country has an embassy.

Agreements
An agreement on trade was signed in 1969, followed by an agreement on economic and technical cooperation in 1971, , the volume of bilateral trade remained insignificant.

History
In November 2007, Romania announced that they would deploy 120 troops to Chad and the Central African Republic in connection with a European Union peacekeeping mission there. Romania continued to condemn violence in Chad and blamed it on rebel groups. However, by mid-2008, Romanian defence minister Teodor Meleșcanu indicated that his country would not send further troops to the mission in Chad, stating that they had reached their limits and did not want involvement in a war theatre.

In December 2008, Romanian national Marin Cioroianu was arrested in Harghita County, Romania in connection with the July 2007 murder of Brahim Déby, the son of Chadian president Idriss Déby, in a Paris parking garage. Déby's attackers had shot arrows at him, tackled him, and attacked him with fire extinguisher foam, leading to death by asphyxiation. DNA in a glove taken from Cioroianu's car matched DNA collected at the murder scene. However, due to Interpol's French office lacking funds to pay for his extradition to France, Cioroianu remained in custody in Romania.

Similarities of flags
The flags of Romania and Chad are nearly identical, the only difference being that Romania defines the colors used more narrowly than Chad, resulting in slight variations in shading. Chad began to use its present flag in 1960, after it achieved independence from France. At that time, the Chad and Romanian flags were distinguishable by the latter's inclusion of the coat of arms of the Socialist Republic of Romania at the Romanian flag's centre. However, in 1989, the coat of arms was removed entirely after the revolution which overthrew Nicolae Ceaușescu. Romania had used its older flag starting in 1866, based on a flag used since 1848 in its region Wallachia.

In 2004, there were unconfirmed media reports that Chad had called on the United Nations to look into the issue, prompting then-Romanian president Ion Iliescu to make a public statement that his country would not give up the flag. BBC News quoted Iliescu as stating that "The tricolour belongs to us. We will not give up the tricolour."

The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is a Christmas tree given to the people of London by the city of Oslo each year since 1947. The tree is prominently displayed in Trafalgar Square from the beginning of December until 6 January.

History

A Trafalgar Square Christmas tree has been an annual gift to the people of Britain from Norway as a token of gratitude for British support to Norway during the Second World War since 1942, when the first tree was cut down by a Norwegian resistance fighter called Mons Urangsvåg during a raid on Hisøy, an island off the west coast of Norway between Bergen and Haugesund. The tree was then transported to England, where the Norwegian king, Haakon VII, was in exile, and given to him. A new tree has since grown from the original stump.

The tree has provided a central focus for the Trafalgar Square traditional carol-singing programme, performed by different groups raising money for voluntary or charitable organisations.

The tree remains until just before the Twelfth Night of Christmas, when it is taken down for recycling. The tree is chipped and composted, to make mulch.

Tree
The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is typically a 50- to 60-year-old Norway spruce, generally over 20 metres tall. The tree is cut in Norway some time in November during a ceremony attended by the British Ambassador to Norway, Mayor of Oslo, and Lord Mayor of Westminster. After the tree is cut, it is shipped to the UK by boat across the sea. At one time  it was shipped to Felixstowe free of charge by a cargo ship of the Fred Olsen Line. As of at least 2007, the tree was shipped across the North Sea to Immingham by DFDS Tor Line. As of 2018, it has been the responsibility of Radius Group, to transport, guard and erect the tree in Trafalgar Square.

The Trafalgar Square tree is decorated in a traditional Norwegian style and adorned with 500 white lights. In 2008, the tree utilised low-wattage halogen bulbs which used 3.5 kW of power.

At the base of the tree stands a plaque, bearing the words:
This tree is given by the city of Oslo as a token of Norwegian gratitude to the people of London for their assistance during the years 1940-45.A tree has been given annually since 1947.

Lighting ceremony and carolling

The tree lighting ceremony in Trafalgar Square takes place on the first Thursday in December and is attended by thousands of people. The ceremony, led by the Lord Mayor of Westminster, includes a band and choir followed by the switching on of the Christmas lights.

Traditionally, the tree provides a focal point for Christmas carolling groups. For many in London, the tree and the accompanying carolling signals the countdown to Christmas.

Since 2009, the Poetry Society has commissioned new poems annually for display on banners around the base of the tree. In 2010, schoolchildren also performed one of the poems at the lighting-up ceremony.

Clarkia similis is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family known by the common name Ramona clarkia. It is endemic to California, where it is found in the coastal hills and mountains of the southwestern part of the state. It is an annual herb that grows erect, approaching a meter in maximum height. The inflorescence bears open flowers and closed, hanging flower buds. The sepals remain fused as the petals bloom from one side. The petals are less than a centimeter long and oval to diamond in shape. They are pale pink with white near the bases, and sometimes purple-speckled.

The Canton–Hong Kong strike was a strike and boycott that took place in British Hong Kong and Guangzhou (Canton), Republic of China,  from June 1925 to October 1926.  It started out as a response to the May 30 Movement shooting incidents in which Chinese protesters were fired upon by Sikh detachments of the Shanghai Municipal Police in Shanghai.

Incident

On May 30, 1925, Sikh detachments of the Shanghai Municipal Police opened fire on a crowd of Chinese demonstrators at the Shanghai International Settlement.  At least nine demonstrators were killed, and many others wounded. Escalating the incident, on June 23, 1925, a heated demonstration in Shameen Island took place which resulted in the Shakee Massacre.  Troops under foreign command, perceiving shots being fired at them, killed more than fifty Chinese protesters and wounded almost two hundred more.

Strike
Prominent Chinese citizens in Guangdong called for an anti-British strike, especially in Hong Kong, then a British colony.  The Kuomintang leaders and Soviet advisors even considered attacking the Anglo-French Settlement in Shameen.  Anti-British pamphlets were passed around in Hong Kong. Rumours also spread that the colonial government planned to poison the colony's water supplies. Guangdong offered free train passage to Hong Kong. In the first week of protest, more than 50,000 Chinese citizens left Hong Kong.  Food prices soared.  The colony was a ghost town by July.  By the end of July, some 250,000 Chinese left for Guangdong.  The worst of the strike was over by 1926.

Government and economy
The British government had to provide a trade loan of 3 million pounds to prevent the economy from collapsing. Hong Kong's top two colonial officials, Governor Sir Reginald Stubbs and Colonial Secretary Claud Severn, were replaced in 1925 as a consequence of the crisis, under criticism from James Jamieson, the British Consul General in Canton. Jamieson claimed the two were out of touch and out of date, unable to converse in Chinese and were ignorant of the political situation in China.

An anti-British boycott continued for several more months.  The economy was paralysed and Hong Kong's total trade fell by 50%, shipping diminished by 40%, and rents decreased by 60%, which lasted until the end of the boycott.

In literature
The Canton–Hong Kong strike plays a prominent part in André Malraux's first novel, The Conquerors (1928).

Early history of baseball in San Francisco, California.

Portsmouth Square
It has been speculated that the game of baseball was played in California by men during the Gold Rush of 1849 when Alexander Cartwright, who is sometimes referred to as "the father of baseball", came to San Francisco and is reported to have brought his baseball to the city in 1849. The Daily Alta California newspaper reports a game of base ball being played upon the Plaza (Portsmouth Square) "by a number of the sporting gentlemen about town", on February 3, 1851.   Mention of the play of a game of Townball at Portmouth Square is recorded in The Daily Alta California newspaper on January 14, 1852.   An early town leader serving on the city council as second alcalde, or assistant mayor, of San Francisco during the years 1849-1854 was Frank Turk a New York Knickerbocker.  According to historian Frank Joel, baseball was formally introduced into California, at San Francisco in 1859.

The beginning years, 1860s
In the 1860s baseball grew in prominence in San Francisco, with the first game reported to be between the Eagles and the Red Rovers on February 22, 1860. The San Francisco Directory in 1860 identifies three base ball clubs, the Eagle, Em Quad, and Excelsior Clubs.  In 1867 it was reported that "baseball clubs are now the rage" and the game of baseball drew plaudits from influential quarters.  That year marked the establishment of the first baseball league in San Francisco known as the Pacific Coast Base Ball Convention with play 14 clubs from San Francisco, Oakland and Santa Clara county.  The San Francisco clubs were named the Eagles, Pacifics, Lafayettes, Knickerbockers, Atlantics, Bay City, Empires, Brodericks and the Cosmopolitans.  The 1867 championship game, between the Atlantic and Cosmopolitan clubs, was won by the Cosmopolitans by a score 50 to 45 on April 27, 1867.  In the 1870s additional teams were named the Libertys, Wide Awakes (Oakland), Alhambra, Americans, Excelciors and the San Franciscos.

First baseball park, Recreation Grounds

California's and San Francisco's first enclosed professional baseball park, located in the heavily Irish workingman Mission District, was named simply 'The Recreation Grounds' and opened November 26, 1868  and operated until November 23, 1884.  Built on the site of the Pioneer Race Course, a horse race track owned by George Treat, the facility was used for multiple purposes including base ball games and cricket matches as early as October 1860. The grandstand accommodated initially a capacity of 12,000 fans and was later expanded to hold 17,000.  Home of the Pacific Baseball League beginning in 1878, the ballpark was owned and operated by the politically active Captain Al Fritz of the influential Workingman's Party of California in partnership with Samuel Shear on land leased from San Francisco Mayor Andrew J. Bryant. In later years, after the death of Fritz, the Recreation Grounds was leased by Waller Walace and Andy Pierce for organized ball play with the preeminent team of that era being the Haverlys. In 1879 league play included a new Military League, organized by newspaper reporter Joseph H. McCloskey, drawn from teams of local militias which were generally aligned along ethnic lines.    The period of 1881 to 1886 saw league play from the California League which failed to achieve much organizational competence; during the year 1883, for instance, there were only 36 games among four teams.

The ballpark was bounded by Harrison, Twenty-Fifth, Folsom and Twenty-Sixth Streets, including present day Garfield Square. Photo.  Other teams playing in Recreation Grounds included the Eagles, Wide Awakes, Niantics, Woonsockets and Reddingtons.

Amateur and practice fields
19th Century amateur and practice fields. During the 1870s and 1880s baseball was a very popular recreation in San Francisco with amateur games and practices held prior to professional games at the professional parks, and at fields located at 15th and Folsom, 25th and Howard in the Mission District, at 8th and Harrison South of Market and at Filmore and Geary in the Richmond.  A sand lot baseball field was located at Pierce and Haight Streets, 1886 photo.

Central Park
Central Park
1884–1898 In the South of Market district, known under the name 'Central Park' at the southeast corner (per 1887 and 1900 city directories) of 8th and Market Streets, or 1185 Market Street (per 1905 city directory); a stadium with seating for 15,000, Daniel R. McNeil opened a professional baseball stadium on Thanksgiving Day 1884 (November 27), and was used for play of the Pacific Coast Baseball League from 1886 until June 1887.

This ball park on April 28, 1888 became the home of the newly formed California State League. By 1899, the park's days as a baseball venue were over, as it had been converted into a steeple chase rollercoaster and a building housing the "Battle of Manilla" panorama. An indoor roller skating rink was built on part of the site. It opened to the public for the first time on April 11, 1906.[San Francisco Examiner, April 11, 1906, p. 11] One week later, the buildings on the property succumbed to the earthquake.

Haight Street Grounds

Haight-Street Recreation Grounds. Following a league dispute at the Central Park grounds, James Fair established a new ball park in 1886 known as the Alameda Grounds  on the island of Alameda (adjacent to Oakland) for play of the California League, which was moved the following year for play at a new baseball park in the Haight District.  With grandstands seating 14,000 and located at the terminus of a railcar line. 1887 to March 1895.  The borders of this ball park were Stanyan Street (west, first base); Waller Street (north, third base); Shrader Street (listed as "Rader" Street in the 1889 Sanborn map) (east, left field); and Frederic Street (to the south, beyond right field) Photo.

San Francisco – California State League (1915 only) – appears to have been a road-only team. The league began the season with the intention of playing only Sunday games, figuring to maximize their revenue. Heavy rains in May washed out most of those games, and the league folded at the end of the month.

Ewing Field, 1914 to 1938 (located in the Richmond District, on Masonic between Geary and Turk; the Seals played at Ewing Field for one year in 1914, but returned to the Valencia Street Recreation Park the next year following many criticisms of the cold, windy, foggy weather at Ewing Field) The ballpark continued to be used for local non-professional games. During a game on June 5, 1926, the stadium caught fire from a cigarette, and soon burned down. In the process, embers started fires across the streets and destroyed several homes. With the ballpark fire raging, the firemen concentrated their efforts on protecting the rest of the neighborhood, including the Presentation Convent behind the left field corner of the ballpark. From 1926 until 1938 the field remained unoccupied. In late October 1938, developers announced plans for constructing a new housing development to be named Ewing Terrace.

Jodhpur Group-Malani Igneous Suite Contact of Aravalli range is a geological feature representing the last phase of igneous activity of Precambrian age in the Indian Subcontinent at the foot of the picturesque Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur city, the second largest city in Rajasthan after Jaipur.

The uniqueness of the geological feature at Jodhpur prompted the Geological Survey of India (GSI) to declare the site as a National Geological Monument.

Etymology
Malani was the name of a district in the former state of Marwar (Jodhpur) where volcanic rocks were found and thus named as Malani beds (1877). This name underwent several changes over the years, known as Malani Volcanics Series (1902), Malani System (1933), the Malani Granite and Volcanic Suite(1968). Finally, the complete magmatic sequence has been named as the Malani Igneous Suite. The igneous suite marks the last phase of igneous activity of Precambrian age in the Indian subcontinent.

Topography and geography

Malani Igneous Suite, an integral component of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, extends at the periphery of the desert, to an area of  covering parts of Pali, Sirohi, Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jalore and Siwana districts  of western Rajasthan. In particular, a rhyolite rock exposure in a hillock of  height, originally called the "Mountain of Birds", forms the foundation for the imposing Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur.
The climate here is of extreme desert condition of scorching summer with hot dry winds and arid conditions. The winters are quite chilly. The rainfall is scanty and occurs during late June to September. The average rainfall is reported to be ; extremely variable with a minimum recorded of  during the famine year of 1899 and a maximum of  during the floods of 1917.

Geology

The lithological formations of the region classified as upper and lower Vindhyans in the east and Marwar in the west, have been recorded as consisting of a thick series of sedimentary rocks comprising sandstone, limestone and shales. Igneous activity preceded the deposition of these rocks in western Rajasthan in the form of a thick pile of lava, mostly of an acidic nature.  These lava and its plutonic equivalent have been noted in the form of granite bosses and sills in Jalor, Siwana, Mokalsar and Jodhpur areas and designated as Erinpura granite and Malani Igneous Suite (pictured).

Mehrangarh Fort section in Jodhpur exposes the best Jodhpur Malani Suite contact. This erosional contact is between the underlying youngest Igneous suite of rocks of Precambrian age and overlying oldest sedimentary sequence of late Proterozoic to Eocene age. Its geological significance led to it being declared a National Geological Monument.

The igneous cycle has three phases namely, the volcanic, plutonic and hypabyssal. The eruption is reported to be of fissure type. The pyroclastic exposed in a thickness of  to  is followed by rhyolite flows of  to  thickness.

Sandstones of Jodhpur Group form the basal part of the Marwar Supergroup and the upper boundary of these volcanics is considerably eroded. The two formations called the Sonia Formation (sandstones) and the Girbhakar Formation (sandstones) occur unconformably over the eroded surface of Malani Volcanic rocks  at the top, which comprise the Pokhran Boulder Bed (developed locally around Pokhran) with the Jodhpur Group as the basal part. The sandstones are creamy (reddish maroon upwards), and widely used as building stones.
Further classification of the Malani Igneous Suite has been done by Bhushan (1991) as Granite Plutons (at least 15 varieties including the Jodhpur Rhyolites), the Siwana Granites (several plutons covering an area of  within the Malani Igneous Suite) and the Jalore Granite (covers an area of  including  of Sankara pluton).

Geological age
The geological age of the Malani Igneous Suite assessed by several geologists vary. Crawford and Compston (1970) assessed the age by Rb-Sr classification as 745 ± 10 Ma. They also reported, in 1975, that the Isochron age was 735 Ma which was less than the age of 840 Ma for Sandra Granite, 830 Ma for Erinpara Granites and 820 Ma for the Pali Granites. But the Geological Survey of India in its publication National Geological Monuments (2001) has given the age as 600±70 Ma.

Geodynamic significance of Malani Magmatism
The 732 million years old anorogenic, A-type magmatism of North-Western Indian shield is characterized by volcano plutonic ring structures and owes its origin to mantle plume. This magmatism has great geodynamic significance in the configuration of the Malani Supercontinent comprising trans-Aravalli block of North-Western Indian shield, Arabian-Nubian shield sessions, Madagascar, South China, Tarim, Mongolia and Siberia.

Legend

The lone human occupant of the hill before the Mehrangarh Fort was built, was an old hermit named Cheeria Nathji, the Lord of the Birds. The hill and now the fort is habitat to thousands of birds, particularly the Cheel or Kite, the sacred bird of the Rathores. When Maharana Jodha wanted to build a fort on top of this hill, the irate hermit cursed him for intruding into his solitary cave; the curse "Jodha! May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water!", is true to this day as there is no water on the hill. The King, while continuing to build his fort, also appeased the hermit by building a temple and a pond for the hermit to reside and meditate. The fort called the Mehrangarh Fort (etymology: 'Mihir' (Sanskrit)–Sun or Sun–deity; 'garh' (Sanskrit)–fort), located at the center of the Jodhpur city, thus known as the citadel of the Sun, and the Malani Igneous Suite hill are both famous now - the fort for its grandeur and the rock for its unique geological formation spread over an area of  of the hill.

Another folk legend about the formation of the Thar Desert region, with the Malani Igneous Suit as an integral component, is of Lord Rama, the hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana. In order to rescue his wife Sita, who was abducted by the demon–king Ravana, he attempted to cross the ocean but was turned back by the Sea–God. In a fit of fury, he raised his arrow to empty the ocean and force the Lord of the Sea to retreat, but discharged the arrow into another body of water located in western Rajasthan that resulted in its drying up. This is the area known as Marwar (former Jodhpur State) or Marusthali (desert region) or the land of the dead.

Access
The Geological monument is located in the heart of Jodhpur city, at the Mehrangarh fort hill range, which is connected by road, rail and air with the rest of the country. It is  SW of Jaipur. by the State Highway. The Northern Railway Main Line and Northern Railway Phalodi Branch passes through Jodhpur Town. The Fort is  away from the Jodhpur airport.

Elephant Design Pvt Ltd. is a Pune based strategic design & innovation consultancy, founded in 1989 by graduates from the National Institute of Design in India.

Elephant has offices in India & Singapore. A team of about 65 people is presently led by three co-founder directors; Ashwini Deshpande, Partho Guha and Ashish Deshpande. Over the three decades Elephant has been in Design business, it has impacted some of India's most best- brands. The company represents India at the Design Alliance Asia  as founding associates. Ashwini Deshpande is a part of the core group that steers the Design Alliance Consortium.

History

1983-1990: formative years
Elephant, was conceived on the staircase of the National Institute of Design campus, as a follow-up to a series of philosophical discussions following a 1988 Design Management module undertaken by the batch of 1983. In the events that ensued, a few from the batch got together to seriously put together a multi disciplinary design consulting firm on the Indian landscape at a time when design consulting practice was almost non-existent.The group graduated from NID on 14 April 1989 and took an overnight bus to reach the city of Pune on 16 April 1989. Elephant began initial operations out of hostel trunks, largely thanks to generous help from several kind-hearted souls in Pune city, notable amongst them are Sandhya Potdar, Limaye & Bhamburkar families. Ashwini Deshpande, Partho Guha, Sudhir Sharma, Ashish Deshpande & Vineet Limaye were the first to reach Pune. Gargi Sharma (then Gargi Gupta, 1984 Batch) joined the team in Pune about a year later.

Elephant was registered on 2 May 1989, and began operating from a 10 ft. x 10 ft. Room, at 165, Shukrawar Peth, Pune. The space belonged to Ashwini Deshpande's parents (then Ashwini Oak), where stood her ancestral Oak Wada. Initial work revolved around corporate communications and exhibitions. The firm was registered as Elephant, The Design Office. The initial offering was multi disciplinary owing to the different design specialization of the founders. Vineet Limaye specialized in furniture design, Ashwini Deshpande, exhibitions, Sudhir Sharma, visual communication, Partha Guha had specialized in films, Ashish Deshpande, product design and Gargi Sharma, it was animation.

January, 1990, the team moved from the Shukrawar Peth office to Ganjve Chowk, Navi Peth where they remained till 1995. Initial years were exploratory, work was sporadic and there were many afternoons spent playing Scotland Yard. Some notable work was done during this period for BASF Ltd. Germany, Gurjari, Dr. Beck & Co. and H&FS Magazine.

1991-2000: consolidation years
Vineet Limaye resigned from the firm in the year 1991-1992 to start his own practice. The first computer (ICIM 386 PC) was acquired at Elephant for CAD work which went obsolete within 6 months due to introduction of 486 PCs.

In 1994, the firm worked on the National Games’ signage system design. Elephant Design Pvt. Ltd., a private limited company was established in May, 1995. It was also the year, the company moved to its own premises at Pragati Complex, Kothrud Industrial Area, Pune.

2001-2010: leadership years
Several notable trade fair pavilions were designed during this period for Bajaj Auto, Kalyani Group, TCS, DRDO, Maruti Suzuki and Thermax Ltd. Retail Merchandising standards were defined for Standard Chartered Bank, several P&G Brands and Service Standards for Bajaj Auto.  Gargi Sharma resigned from Elephant in 2003. 2004 saw Elephant work on a major identity revamp for Bajaj Auto.

This phase saw Elephant adding strategic value to projects and client businesses. Trade Mark Elephant Design was registered to reinforce the consulting offering. Bajaj Probiking stores, aligning different business brands with the new mother brand for Godrej Group along with visual language, award-winning Suzlon Global Headquarters Brand Experience, Nissan India Car Project, Venky's Rebrand Program, Britannia Visual Language and the Commonwealth Youth Games 2008 design program were notable projects during this period.

India's leading business publication, The Economic Times Brand Equity ranked Elephant amongst the top 5 design agencies in 2008.

Sudhir Sharma's working association with Elephant ended in 2009. The year of 2009-2010 was a difficult year, due to global recession and the Indian economy reflecting a steep nosedive.

A detailed working program of Design Process was defined through internal workshops and Elephant shifted to a 5-day week working structure. This phase was devoted to articulating values at Elephant and aligning individual & institutional objectives to work. This period also saw, the leadership contributing extensively to thought leadership in Design, Design Thinking and Design Practice through lectures, talks, workshops, blogs and articles.
