Bentinck is a village in Derbyshire, England. Located north of Bolsover, it consists of two rows of terrace houses, a park and some garages. Bentinck is near Shuttlewood and Stanfree and located on Woodthorpe Road to Mastin Moor. It is located near two motorway junctions of the M1, J29a and J30. It is also close to Chesterfield and the city of Sheffield. The main employer of the village up until a few years ago was Coalite, and before that the mining industry.

The nearest airport is Robin Hood Airport at Doncaster and the nearest train and bus stations are in Chesterfield. The village has a link via buses to Bolsover and Chesterfield. The village/hamlet was built in the 19th century to house the local miners from the colliery at Shuttlewood. There was a road which is now abandoned linking the village to the mine.

Votes for Women, a popular slogan in the campaign for women's suffrage in the United States, was also the title of a January 20, 1901 speech by American author and humorist Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain.  In this speech Twain spoke out for women's full enfranchisement in the electoral process and predicted that within 25 years, they would have the right to vote. This proved to be true, the Women's Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution being passed by the United States Congress in 1919 and ratified by all the states in 1920.

This speech was given at the Annual Meeting of the Hebrew Technical School for Girls in the Temple Emanuel.

DTACK Grounded was a computer hobbyist newsletter published from July 1981 to September 1985 by Hal W. Hardenberg. Subtitled "The Journal of Simple 68000 Systems", the newsletter was dedicated to the proposition that the Motorola 68000 CPU could be used to build simple, fast computers. In 1981 this was a revolutionary idea. This was before 68000-based personal computers like the Sharp X68000, Macintosh, Amiga, and Atari ST had been created. In 1981 Motorola was marketing the 68000 solely as a CPU for Unix workstations. Hal believed that the 68000 could be used as a simple embedded microprocessor as well, and used the newsletter to explain how to do that.

Editor Hal W. Hardenberg

Hal was the editor of the newsletter and wrote almost all of its content. The ostensible purpose of the newsletter was to promote Hal's company's line of 68000-based hardware and software. However, Hal never let that get in the way of telling a good story or explaining how to design or build a fast computer. He was a hardware engineer and a businessman who also knew how to write software. His newsletter was full of amusing and educational stories about the way the personal computer hardware business worked, and strong opinions about the best way to design personal computer hardware and software.

Etymology

"DTACK" is the name of a pin on the Motorola 68000 CPU that informs the CPU that data is ready to be read from memory. It stands for "Data Transfer Acknowledge."

If a system has fast enough memory, this pin can be connected directly to the ground plane (or "grounded") to produce the fastest-possible memory read/write time. However, any complex system would almost certainly have several different types of devices (RAM, ROM, various peripherals) that would support different speeds of access, which in a large system would normally be accommodated by using the DTACK line to insert "wait states"—delays—into bus cycles. (The 68000 has no separate I/O address space, so all I/O devices must be memory-mapped.) The logic circuitry required to pulse DTACK high to add these delays could be fairly complex. Therefore, typically only relatively simple systems can use a design with "DTACK grounded" (i.e., DTACK always asserted). When many different peripherals with different maximum speed capabilities must be used in a small system, another solution to keep DTACK grounded is to slow down the clock rate of the CPU so that all memory and peripheral devices can transfer data at the (reduced) maximum speed of the CPU. In turn, using a lower CPU clock frequency enables a simpler, less expensive circuit board design, with fewer layers, to be used successfully. This, too, like limiting the system to a few peripherals of low diversity, is a design strategy that is typically applied to small or embedded systems but would not be appropriate for high-performance workstations.

Many other microprocessors, including the Intel 8086, 8088, 80286, 80386, 8080, 8085, Zilog Z80, and 6502 family, each have an input pin that serves a similar function to DTACK, but it is usually named READY or RDY.  (On the Z80, it is named WAIT.)  Therefore, a reference to DTACK distinctively implies the 68000 family of CPUs.

The Redlands

In order to discourage photocopying of the newsletter, a portion of the DTACK Grounded newsletter was printed on dark red paper. This made it harder to photocopy those pages. This section of the newsletter was called "the Redlands". It typically contained the assembly source code for high performance math subroutines.

DBASIC

A major topic in later years of the newsletter was the Halgol interpreter, later converted to the DBASIC interpreter. Hal produced a fast Basic interpreter for the Atari ST computer. It was written in hand-tuned assembly language, and ran very fast compared to other Basics. But it was non-standard: it couldn't run Microsoft BASIC programs, and it couldn't read or write MS-DOS format floppy disks. Unfortunately, as a result, it was not very popular.

Legacy

In the 1990s, Hal revived DTACK Grounded as an occasional column in Dr. Dobb's Journal called "DTACK Revisited".

Thomas Coxon (10 June 1883 – 30 January 1942) was an English footballer who played in the English Football League for Burslem Port Vale, Stoke, Middlesbrough, Grimsby Town, and Leyton.

Career
Coxon played for Bradeley, before joining Burslem Port Vale in August 1902. He played two Second Division games in the 1902–03 season, and opened his account for the 1903–04 season with four goals in three games against Preston North End, Bradford City (2), and Grimsby Town. This made an impression on rivals Stoke, who bought him for a £200 fee in October 1903. He scored five goals in 21 First Division games in the rest of the 1903–04 campaign, finding himself in the scoresheet in games with Bury, Blackburn Rovers, The Wednesday, Everton, and Small Heath. However he lost his first team place at the Victoria Ground in the 1904–05 season, playing in just four matches. He was then sold to league rivals Middlesbrough. After spending the 1905–06 season at Ayresome Park, he returned to Burslem Port Vale in May 1906. He was a firm first team regular at the Athletic Ground in the 1906–07 season, scoring 12 goals in 41 league and cup games. Coxon re-signed for Stoke after Vale suffered a financial crisis and went into liquidation at the end of the season. He played twelve matches for the "Potters" in 1907–08, but left for Grimsby Town after Stoke also had severe finical problems and entered liquidation. He scored six goals in 61 Second Division games for the "Mariners", but left Blundell Park after Grimsby were not re-elected to the English Football League in 1909–10. He later played for Leyton and Grimsby Rovers.

James Eads How (1874 - 1930) was an American organizer of the hobo community in the early 20th century. He was heir of a wealthy St. Louis family but chose to live as a hobo and to help the homeless migrant workers. The newspapers often referred to him as the "Millionaire Hobo".

How was the founder, driving force, and financier of the International Brotherhood Welfare Association, a union for migrant workers which published Hobo News, and organized hobo colleges and hobo conventions.

Early life
James Eads How's father was James Flintham How, vice president and general manager of the Wabash Railroad. His mother, Eliza Eads How, was the daughter of James Buchanan Eads, a successful civil engineer and inventor who had built the Eads Bridge. Even as a child he preferred a simple life without the servants his family could easily afford. How studied theology, first at Meadville Theological School, a Unitarian school in Meadville, Pennsylvania. There he was known as an eccentric because he donated much of his allowance to the poor and lived in the bare minimum.  This was largely because of his religious conviction. How went to study at Harvard, where he tried but failed to found a monastic order, The Brotherhood of the Daily Life. He later went to Oxford and joined George Bernard Shaw's Fabian Society, at which time he also became a vegetarian (which he remained for the rest of his life). He then studied medicine at the College of Physicians & Surgeons in Manhattan but did not finish his medical degree.

As a hobo and activist

How felt morally obligated to put his wealth to good use—going so far as to state of his fortune, "I have not earned it, it is not mine"—and he chose the homeless as the population he would dedicate his money and his life to organizing and advocating. He saw hobos as a class of people that was crucial to American industry but marginalized from society.   Therefore, How spent most of his family estate and the tolls for Eads Bridge on his work with the homeless. How's vision came from the social ideas of Christian socialism and Social Gospel.

In addition to advocating for hobos, How chose to live as one, even though he had both money and education.  He wore a shaggy beard and rough tramplike clothes. It was said that even ordinary hobos looked well dressed compared to How. From about age 25, he traveled around doing hard work for a living. One of How's contemporaries, sociologist Nels Anderson, describes how fully How immersed himself in the hobo lifestyle and how seriously How took his work:

International Brotherhood Welfare Association
Central to How's work was his brainchild, the International Brotherhood Welfare Association (IBWA), a sort of union for the hobos with headquarters in Cincinnati.  Through the IBWA, How sponsored various hobo advocacy activities, including "hobo colleges", hobo journalism, and conventions.  The media often ridiculed How and his many failed projects, calling him the "Millionaire Hobo" or "Millionaire Tramp", but it did not seem to discourage him.

The hobo colleges, which How started in several cities, primarily offered lodging and meals, but as the name implies also education and a place to meet. The education would be scheduled certain nights and included basic lessons in social science, industrial law, public speaking, job searching, and anything else that might be understood and useful for the hobos. The lectures were held by street orators as well as academics. How often talked about social politics subjects such as 8-hour working day, pensions, and unemployment. The ensuing discussions were known to be very lively. They also served as community meeting places where the homeless workers could express themselves. Hobo College was held mainly in winter when there were fewer jobs and more hobos in the cities.

The success of the "colleges" varied. The Chicago branch was the biggest and one year debated with University of Chicago students. A hobo college was usually a rented building in the hobo area of a city. There would be blankets for sleeping, a washroom, and a kitchen, where the hobos cooked their favorite mulligan stew. The houses often failed, and How had to spend much time going around and restarting them.

The other main work of How and the IBWA was the Hobo News, a magazine for hobos. Hobo News was published from about 1915 to at least 1929, and is now considered a predecessor to the modern street paper movement.

According to contemporary sociologist Nels Anderson, How had almost complete control over the IBWA and Hobo News, at least in the beginning. This was not because he sought power—he had strong democratic ideals and gave individual "colleges" and other projects much management sovereignty—but rather because of his money, which was often needed for new ideas or to cover for financial problems. How often paid for meals at the hobo conventions and other meetings. Less optimistic critics said that without the doughnuts and other free food, the hobos would show little interest in How's organizations. However, How never gave cash to those who tried to ask him for it.

After the start of World War I, the Espionage Act of 1917, and government attacks on the larger Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the less radical IBWA and the Hobo News also came under scrutiny. The IBWA often pointed out that it was distinct from the IWW, though somewhat supportive of the other organization. As IWW was increasingly broken many of its members joined IBWA, leading to both radicalization and faction conflicts. How was on the moderate side and preferred the IBWA to focus on education and more immediate political issues like abolishing vagrancy laws, rather than direct action and sabotage.

Other
How became mentor of Ben Reitman, who said the first time he went to an IBWA meeting and met How changed his whole life. Reitman went on to found the Chicago hobo college, one of the most successful, in 1908.

How was chairman of the National Committee for the Relief of the Unemployed in New York but went back to St. Louis in 1908, after disagreeing with other leaders.

In 1914, How led a group from the IBWA in New York to join the second Coxey's Army protest march to Washington, D.C.

Later life
At 50, How married and moved to Los Angeles in the 1920s with his wife Ingeborg. They had a house built by the famous architect Rudolf M. Schindler in the suburb Silver Lake, in 1925-26. It was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2007. How did not stop his social work, however. The couple divorced two years before How's death.

Death
In July 1930, How fainted in Cincinnati Union Station and was taken care of by his friend and attorney Nicholas Klein. He received medical care but died of pneumonia and starvation two weeks later, on July 22, 1930, at age 56. How was buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.

Guildford was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia from 1901 to 1962.

Known as Guildford-Midland from 1930 onwards, the district was located in the north-eastern suburbs of Perth.

History
First created for the 1901 state election, the district's first member was Hector Rason, who had already served a term as the member for South Murchison from 1897. Rason was Premier of Western Australia from August 1905 to May 1906.

Rason was succeeded by William Johnson of the Labor Party. Johnson's tenure as a parliamentarian was a long one: he was the district's member from 1906 to 1917 and again from 1924 until his death in 1948. Johnson was succeeded at a by-election by Labor candidate John Brady. When the district was abolished, Brady transferred to the new seat of Swan at the 1962 state election.

The Northampton Chronicle & Echo (known locally as "The Chron") is a local newspaper serving Northampton, England, and the surrounding towns and villages. It was published daily from Monday-Saturday until 26 May 2012 at a price. It then began to publish one edition per week each Thursday. The paper is owned by National World.

Origin
The title was the result of a 1931 merger of two dailies: the Northampton Daily Chronicle and Evening Herald (founded 1880) and the Daily Echo (founded in 1885 and retitled as the Northampton Daily Echo in 1908), which occupied a striking art deco office building overlooking Northampton's famous market square. This was demolished in the late 1970s to make way for a shopping development. A blue plaque marks the spot where the Daily Echo was published for almost a century. The Chronicle & Echo and its associated titles moved to new quarters at Upper Mounts. Printing in Northampton ceased at the time of the weekly change in 2012 and is now done at the Johnson Press location in Peterborough.

Related media
A glossy monthly, the Northampton Town and County Independent, edited by Bernard Holloway and the local author-editor Lou Warwick, was also published by the same company, which was once part of the United Newspapers group headed by Lord Barnetson. One of the Chronicle's sister papers in those days was the Yorkshire Post.

The Chron's main competitor is the weekly Northampton Herald & Post (circulation 45,582) which is free and delivered throughout the town and surrounding areas but in comparison is lighter on news and heavy on advertising. Until 2015, the Chron issued a free version of the weekly Northampton Mercury with a circulation of 44,000 to compete with its rival.

Staff

Among the Chronicle & Echos most notable journalists were author Michael Green, who wrote The Art of Coarse Rugby, scriptwriter Alistair Foot, the Guardian readers' editor Ian Mayes, chairman of the Sportswriters Association Barry Newcombe, former Boxing Board of Control general secretary John Morris, theatre historian Lou Warwick, and author and editor John Marquis (formerly of Reuters and Thomson Newspapers), whose books about the Sir Harry Oakes murder case and the Haitian tyrant Papa Doc have found an international audience. Valentine Low, a journalist on the Times, columnists Yvonne Roberts and Matthew Engel also worked on what is known locally as "The Chron". Helen Blaby writes a general interest column.

Michael Green's novel Don't Print My Name Upside Down was based largely on his experiences at the Chronicle & Echo. The paper's chief sub-editor Stanley Worker kept a copy in his desk and, during rare dull moments, would proudly peek at references to himself. Green's book The Art of Coarse Acting was based on his experiences as an amateur actor at Northampton's amateur drama group the Masque Theatre.

Green, Foot, Marquis and Warwick were all at different times editor of the Chronicles long-running daily 'chat' page, called Town Talk and County Gossip by Hamtune. Three went on to become authors and the fourth (Foot) a playwright. Mayes has also published compilations of his 'corrections and clarifications' columns in The Guardian. Two went on to become editors: Lou Warwick of the Northampton Town and County Independent, John Marquis of the Packet Newspapers group in Cornwall and The Tribune (a morning newspaper) in the Bahamas.

Both John Morris and John Marquis were also London Sports Editors and Chief Boxing Correspondents of major newspaper groups—Morris of United Newspapers (Yorkshire Post, Lancashire Evening Post and Chronicle & Echo) and Marquis of Thomson Regional Newspapers (The Scotsman, the Western Mail, the Press and Journal and The Journal).

Among the Chronicle & Echo editors were W Cowper Barrons, John Barrons, Vincent Halton, Gerald Freeman, Philip Green and Mark Edwards. One of the company's most notable figures was L W Dickens, long-serving editor of The Mercury and Herald, in its heyday the 'bible' of Northamptonshire farmers. Another of the company's characters was the photographer Roland Holloway, who worked on the Chronicle, Mercury and Independent for half a century. He was born in 1905, the same year his father William Henry Holloway launched the Independent. During a career running from the 1920s to the 1970s, Roland took more than 80,000 photographs and attended 28,000 assignments. A collection of his work was published in book form in 1985. It was called Roland Holloway's Northamptonshire, Fifty Years of Photographs 1924–1974, published by Northamptonshire Libraries.

Sponsorship
In the 1994–95 English football season the company sponsored local team Northampton Town F.C.

Paul Richard Gallagher,  (born 23 January 1954) is a British prelate of the Catholic Church who has been Secretary for Relations with States within the Holy See's Secretariat of State since November 2014. He has worked in the diplomatic service of the Holy See since 1984 and has held the rank of archbishop and apostolic nuncio since 2004, serving as nuncio in Burundi, Guatemala, and Australia.

Biography

Early life
He was born in Liverpool, England, and was educated at St Francis Xavier’s College in Woolton. Ordained by Archbishop Derek Worlock on 31 July 1977 for the Archdiocese of Liverpool, he served in Fazakerley, before taking courses at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. He later earned a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical Gregorian University, becoming a member of the Holy See's diplomatic service on 1 May 1984.

Episcopate
He held posts in Tanzania, Uruguay, the Philippines, and  the Vatican Secretariat of State. He was appointed Counselor, First Class, on 1 May 1997, when working at the Nunciature in Burundi. He worked in its Second Section, from 1995 to 2000 at the same time as the present Cardinal Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin.

On 18 August 2000, Pope John Paul II named him Special Envoy as Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.

John Paul appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to Burundi on 22 January 2004. His residence in that country was bombed in 2008.

He was appointed nuncio to Guatemala on 19 February 2009.

Ruth Gledhill, the religious affairs correspondent of The Times, mentioned him as a possible candidate for the position of Archbishop of Westminster in succession to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. However, the successor, announced on 3 April 2009, was Archbishop Vincent Nichols.

On 11 December 2012, he was appointed Papal Nuncio to Australia, a post he held until being made Secretary for Relations with States on 8 November 2014 by Pope Francis.

In 2015 a comprehensive agreement was signed by the Holy See and Palestine which may serve the twofold goal of stimulating peace in the Middle East and providing a model for similar treaties. The text of the treaty was agreed upon on 13 May, and the document was signed on 26 June in the Apostolic Palace by Gallagher and by Riad al-Malki, minister of foreign affairs of Palestine. Gallagher voiced hope “that the present agreement may in some way be a stimulus to bringing a definitive end to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which continues to cause suffering for both parties. I also hope that the much desired two-state solution may become a reality as soon as possible.”

In an interview, Gallagher said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed in 2015 is seen positively because it believes that controversies and difficulties must always be resolved through dialogue and negotiation. The deal reached is the result of years of negotiations over a question that had caused a great deal of concern. The fact that the solution found satisfies all sides is a very positive thing. Clearly, this agreement will require the continued efforts and commitment of everyone if it is to bear fruit. It is significant that there is a mutual trust between the Parties.

In a February 2016 interview he said, "Let's not be kidding ourselves about what the stakes are here: If we are going to bring peace, if we are going to reconcile nations, if we are going to secure countries and communities, particularly minorities, particularly people who are persecuted, we are going to have to make an unprecedented effort," Gallagher speaking specifically of the crisis in Syria and Iraq, where so-called Islamic State militants have captured large swaths of territory and driven out tens of thousands of Christians and members of other minority groups, Gallagher said he is hopeful for a resolution of the conflict".

In 2020 he met Chinese Foreign minister, Wang Yi.

In March 2021, Archbishop Gallagher said that Pope Francis’ visit to Iraq was “a geopolitical problem, because Christians have always been there, they have always had a role amidst the other communities, the larger, more powerful communities,”.

Speaking on the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Archbishop Gallagher was asked if his comments describing Russia as the aggressor were spoken in the name of the pope. Gallagher replied"I was speaking in the name of the Holy See, and the Holy Father hasn’t corrected me so far on what I’ve said on his behalf".

Archbishop Gallagher was the representative of Pope Francis and the Vatican at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London, England on September 19, 2022.

Gallagher speaks native English, near-native Italian and fluent French and Spanish.

Speķrauši or speķa pīrādziņi, sometimes also colloquially known simply as pīrāgi or pīrādziņi, are Latvian oblong or crescent-shaped baked bread rolls or pastries filled with finely chopped fatty bacon cubes and onions. They range from  in length, depending on if they are intended as a snack or a more substantial meal. Smaller speķrauši are often prized for their daintiness and are considered the work of a skilled cook.

As with many national dishes, Latvian families often have their own unique recipe for the dish, yet to be called speķrauši it has to maintain the crescent shape and the filling has to be bacon bits. Due to the amount of work involved to make them, they're usually made only for special occasions and in very large numbers. Yet, one would be able to find them in most local bakeries and pastry shops.

Variations
Other common fillings include fatty bacon, fatback (speķis), mixtures of ground or finely chopped meats (ground beef, ham and chicken with or without bacon), fish, cabbage, pressed cottage cheese, stewed cabbage or sauerkraut. Bacon pies come in two main varieties: plain bread bacon pies and broth or soup bacon pies (zupas or buljona pīrāgi). Bread bacon pies come with a larger variety of fillings and are made using a yeast dough. Broth bacon pies are made from a flaky pastry butter dough, often a sour cream dough, and are usually filled with boiled beef or sometimes cooked fish. These are intended to be eaten with a cup or bowl of broth.

Preparation
The day before baking bacon patties, the cook usually spends one or two hours preparing any meat and onion that will be used. Bacon and other fatty meats (such as bacon or back bacon) do not chop well in a food processor and tend to get caught on the blade, so the cook must hand chop these into tiny cubes, about 1.5 millimetres (about 1/16 inches). This is sometimes made easier by freezing the meat for a few minutes. Other less fatty meats (such as beef) tend to turn into a paste in the food processor, so if the meat is not already ground, the cook grinds it using a hand or electric grinder.

The day of baking, the cook makes the dough. This is a fairly standard white bread dough, with a varying amount of fat in it, depending on the particular family's recipe. Allowing the dough to proof and rise takes several hours, during which time the meat from the previous day is sauteed over a very low flame for a few minutes to ensure that the flavours in the filling meld a bit. When the dough has finished rising for bread bacon patties, or the dough has chilled for bullion bacon patties, the cook usually uses one of two methods to make the individual bacon patties:
 The cook takes a few cups of dough and rolls out the whole lump using a rolling pin, or just the edge of the lump using a glass. The cook takes a tablespoon of filling and places it on the dough about 3 centimetres (about 1.5 inches) from one of the edges. The cook folds the edge of the dough over the filling, puts a glass over the dough and filling pile and cuts through both layers of dough on one side with the glass so that a half-moon-shaped pastry is created. The pressure from the glass cutting through the dough pinches the two dough layers together on the one open side. The pastry is re-shaped slightly to form an oblong or crescent shape.
The cook takes a walnut-sized lump of dough and flattens it with a rolling pin or with fingers into a round dough disk. The cook then places a tablespoon of filling into the middle of the dough disk and folds two sides together to make a half-moon shape, pinching the two sides together. The resulting edges are then folded under and re-shaped to make a more oblong or crescent shape.
Prepared pastries are put into rows on pans, left to rise slightly, brushed with egg and then baked for a few minutes.

History and folklore
Pīrāgi were not a seasonal dish in Latvian society, because most ingredients needed to make the different varieties were available from the pantry year round. After potatoes had filtered into Latvian society from the New World, sometimes potatoes were also used to replace flour in the dough, allowing the pastries to be baked even when flour was unavailable. This means that pīrāgi could be baked at any time and are historically associated with Latvian celebrations year-round.

The two biggest historic Latvian celebrations are for summer solstice and winter solstice: Jāņi and Ziemassvētki. One of the most popular and familiar Latvian Ziemassvētki folk songs mentions pīrāgi:
Ziemassvētki sabraukuši
Rakstītām kamanām
Pīrāgam nabagam
Abi gali apdeguši
Christmas arrived
In a decorated sleigh
Oh that poor bacon pie
Both ends were burnt

Onthophagini are a tribe of scarab beetles. Commonly placed in the true dung beetle subfamily (Scarabaeinae), it belongs to a group of subfamilies separated as subfamily Coprinae in some treatments.

Onthophagini often display sexual dimorphism, with the males having larger and more elaborate head and thorax ornaments, but not to the degree seen in the rhinoceros beetles of the scarab subfamily Dynastinae for example.

CONTEST is the United Kingdom's counter-terrorism strategy, first developed by Sir David Omand and the Home Office in early 2003 as the immediate response to 9/11, and a revised version was made public in 2006. Further revisions were published on 24 March 2009, 11 July 2011 and June 2018. An Annual Report on the implementation of CONTEST was released in March 2010 and in April 2014. The aim of the strategy is "to reduce the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from terrorism so that people can go about their lives freely and with confidence." The success of this strategy is not linked to total elimination of the terrorist threat, but to reducing the threat sufficiently to allow the citizens a normal life free from fear.

CONTEST is composed of the "four Ps" – prevent, pursue, protect, and prepare – which aim to reduce terrorism at all levels through: Preventing more people from being radicalised; Pursuing suspects operationally and legally; Protecting the public through security measures, and Preparing to manage the response to mitigate the impact of an inevitable attack.

Longevity
CONTEST has thus far survived to its  Prime Minister largely due to its risk equation, that: risk = likelihood × vulnerability × impact.

Likelihood encompasses the Pursue and Prevent arms, and is understood to prevail when terrorists are imprisoned and so unable to radicalise the next generation.

Vulnerability covers Protecting the critical infrastructure and public of the UK, for example ensuring steel lockable cockpit doors on all civilian airliners to prevent hijackers from taking control of aircraft.

Finally, impact includes the Prepare arm. In order to manage the initial response and minimise periods of disruption all emergency services are specifically trained in terrorist response and special technology has been developed, such as decontamination trucks and increasingly resilient communication lines.

The four Ps

Prevent

The purpose of Prevent is to stop people from becoming terrorists or terrorist sympathisers. Prevent includes countering terrorist ideology and challenging those who promote it, supporting individuals who are especially vulnerable to becoming radicalised, and working with sectors and institutions where the risk of radicalisation is assessed to be high. The deradicalisation programme is known as Channel. It is led by the police and liberal Muslim mentors. The UK Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 created a positive duty for those working in education or health to report those who they deem at risk of radicalization.

As of February 2015, all National Health Service (NHS) staff are required to undergo basic Prevent Awareness Training.

Schools are valuable in providing the educational dimension of the Prevent duty through the Citizenship lessons on the National Curriculum. Since July 2015, schools also have a legal responsibility to have "due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism" under the Prevent duty and Child Protection and Safeguarding guidelines.

In 2020, 6,287 people were referred to Prevent. Of these, 1,424 were referred to Channel and 697 were taken on as cases for Channel. 43% of the cases taken on by Channel were for right wing extremism and 30% for Islamic extremism. A film associated with Prevent, Reclaim Radical – Radical versus Radicalised, was released in 2017.

An independent review of Prevent was announced in August 2019 as part of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019.

The leader of the 2017 London Bridge attack and his brother were involved with Prevent. The perpetrator of the 2017 Parsons Green train bombing had been referred to Prevent. The perpetrator in the 2021 murder of David Amess was referred to Prevent.

Pursue
The purpose of Pursue is to stop terrorist attacks by detecting, prosecuting, and disrupting those who plot to carry out attacks against the UK or its interests overseas.

Protect
The purpose of Protect is to strengthen protection against terrorist attacks in the UK or its interests overseas and thus reduce vulnerability. The work focuses on border security, the transport system, national infrastructure, and public places. The process works by first recognising the threats and then identifying the measures to reduce risks. An example of 'Protect' are the large bollards placed strategically around busy city centres, and especially on bridges, to prevent the rise of vehicle-based attacks such as the 2017 London Bridge attack.

Prepare
The purpose of Prepare is to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack in an event whereby that attack cannot be stopped. "Prepare" includes bringing a terrorist attack to an end quickly, preventing its spread, and increasing the UK's resilience to enable rapid recovery in its aftermath.

Channel
Channel is a programme that seeks to reduce radicalisation by referring reported individuals to other services. People working in health or education are required by law to report individuals that meet certain criteria. A channel referral is a referral to the police, who continually use information obtained in order to assess risk and may make a referral to a channel panel who suggest and prioritise referrals to other services. Involvement is voluntary and referred individuals can refuse to participate. If an individual refuses to participate and a risk is identified the police will be informed and assessments can be made by a channel panel whether an individual chooses to participate or not.

Revision
The August 2018 strategy reportedly puts more focus on ways of prevention and how to best alert the public to terrorist threats. In an article written for The Observer, former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown stated that the strategy is "recognised by our allies to be world-leading in its wide-ranging nature, [and] leaves us better prepared and strengthened in our ability to ensure all peace-loving people of this country can live normally, with confidence and free from fear."

Criticism
The 'Prevent' strategy was criticised in 2009 by Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, as a domestic spying programme collecting intelligence about the beliefs of British Muslims not involved in criminal activity. The Communities and Local Government Committee were also critical of the Prevent programme in 2010, stating that it stigmatised and alienated the Muslims the government wanted to work with.

Prevent has been criticised as legitimising and reinforcing Islamophobia and restricting freedom of expression for Muslims in the UK.

At the National Union of Teachers' 2016 conference in Brighton, the union members voted overwhelmingly against the Prevent strategy. They supported its abolition, citing concerns over the implementation of the strategy and causing "suspicion in the classroom and confusion in the staff room."

In June 2016, the MPs Lucy Allan and Norman Lamb introduced a private member's bill to repeal provisions in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 where it requires staff to report possible signs of extremism or radicalization between primary and nursery school-aged children, following several high-profile cases where the provision was inappropriately used about the Prevent strategy. The Bill did not become law.

In 2017, two brothers, aged seven and five, were paid damages after they were reported to the Prevent programme after telling a teacher they had been given toy guns. The children had been kept from parents for two hours. After a legal challenge, the Central Bedfordshire council admitted the children's human rights were breached and they had been racially discriminated against.

Prevent has also been accused of reducing academic freedom. In November 2018, the University of Reading highlighted the article Our Morals: The Ethics of Revolution by Professor Norman Geras as potentially harmful. Students were instructed not to download the article on personal devices and not to leave the article where it could be visible "inadvertently or otherwise, by those who are not prepared to view it". In March 2019, the Court of Appeal found that the Prevent guidance on inviting controversial speakers at universities was unlawfully unbalanced and must be rewritten.

In January 2020, The Guardian reported that Extinction Rebellion, the climate emergency campaign group promoted by Greta Thunberg, had been wrongly included on an official list of extremist organisations whose members should be reported to the authorities. The South East Counter Terrorism Unit later said that after review, the document was being withdrawn. Amnesty International were highly critical of the error, and Extinction Rebellion said they were considering legal action.

COVID-19
There is growing concern over the link of the COVID-19 pandemic and a greater risk of radicalisation. Due to social isolation and increased reliance on the internet, there are concerns over the potential grooming, and later radicalisation, of vulnerable young people. As a result of face-to-face teaching being suspended and most schools and statutory agencies closing throughout the nationwide lockdown, there has been a marked decreased in the number of people referred to the Prevent programme since restrictions were put in place. Whilst the full effect of COVID restrictions are yet to be seen, the police are encouraging schools to place an emphasis on safeguarding those most vulnerable and provide the resources necessary to help combat radicalisation grooming.

In other contexts
At the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact chaired by Emmanuel Macron in Paris on 22-23 June 2023, CONTEST was presented by Fiona Hill, former chief of staff to Theresa May as home secretary and prime minister, as an exemplar for interdepartmental cooperation for tackling major threats, and a paradigm for how governments should tackle international development and climate change. Hill was speaking at an official summit side event convened by Community Jameel and the Islamic Development Bank at the headquarters of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Kevin Burrus, also known as Kevin UltraOmni (born 1958) is an American mentor, speaker, LGBTQ activist, and film producer who founded the ball culture House of Omni in 1979–which was renamed the House of UltraOmni in 1990–and has chapters across the country. He has become an authority on ball culture and has spoken in interviews about the movement. Omni is also the assistant director for the documentary How Do I Look, produced by Wolfgang Busch which aims to correct misperceptions about ball culture.

Early life and education
Kevin Burrus was born in 1958 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, the fifth of six children.

From 1973-1976 he attended Clara Barton High School for health professions in Brooklyn, New York. He majored in medical lab technology and hospital office procedures.

He then went to New York City Community College with a focus on liberal arts and science. He entered the Strive Program, and developed an interest in sexuality-associated behavior.

Career
Burrus has been involved in radio promotions for "The Red-Alert Show" on 98.7 Kiss FM in NY from 1991–1992. He was also involved as a dancer on TV show Jerry Bledsoe's Soul Alive (WPIX channel 11), and a guest on "Morning Radio's Star & Buc Wild Show" on 105.1 FM.

Outreach and educating
Omni started attending house ball culture events in 1979, “They were colorful, very "Las Vegas showgirl", very "Cabaret", full of entertainment. People knew how to sew their own garments, and took pride in being able to pay for what they put on their backs.” Omni founded the ball house of Omni in 1980–which was renamed the House of UltraOmni in 1990–and has chapters across the country. Omni came from Thomas "Dimples" Baker who picked it out of a dictionary. The house system that supports the ball culture traces back to at least the early 1900s. Costume balls where LGBTQ people, including people of color, could attend and even be celebrated. The modern house system and ball culture started in the 1970s and became a social network for many gay and trans black and Latino homeless teenagers. Omni served as both house mother and father, mentoring those he took into the house. In 1988 he appointed Michael Wooten, a dancer and a singer who does shows throughout New York and New Jersey, as the first official house father in 1988. In 1990 the documentary Paris Is Burning debuted taking the culture and its signature dance style, voguing, mainstream. The same year Madonna—who celebrates many dance forms in concerts and videos—released “Vogue” which featured the dance taking it global.

As the assistant producer of the documentary film How Do I Look, Omni reaches out to many communities informing and educating them on Ball Culture. Together with producer & director Wolfgang Busch, they used the film as a focal point for a college tour with panels including Yale, Penn State and NYU, and teach-ins discussing the house culture and challenges of LGBTQ youth of color. In 2010 he was a panelist for the Hudson Valley LGBT Conference in Kingston, NY. He lectures on sexuality, health-related issues, homelessness, drugs, mental illness, and domestic violence. Since 2006, Omni has served as Public Relations/Media Contact for "Art From the Heart LLC", producing artistic empowerment Programs, and preserving Ballroom history. Omni delivers lectures nationwide and internationally, helping to furthering HIV/AIDS education and awareness and Ballroom culture. As of 2019, Omni estimates he has lost more than 600 friends in the ballroom scene, at some points feeling he was attending one funeral after the next. From 1989-1991, he helped organize The Love Ball fundraiser for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA), a nonprofit educating about and advocating for people impacted by HIV/AIDS. In 2012 he founded together with Wolfgang Omni Busch the Kevin Omni Burrus Funeral/Burial Fund to help defray funeral costs for members of the Ballroom community.

The Fugitive from Chicago  () is a German crime and adventure movie produced in 1933 by director Johannes Meyer. The screenplay was written by Max W. Kimmich, Hermann Oberländer and Hans Martin Cremer after the 1932 novel of the same title by Curt J. Braun. The film was a co-production between the film companies of Bavaria (situated in Geiselgasteig near Munich, where most scenes were shot at the Bavaria Studios) and Atalanta (situated in Berlin). Some scenes were shot at the German motorcycle company, Zündapp. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Max Seefelder and Erich Zander. It passed censorship on 23 January 1934 and was presented to the public on 31 January 1934 in Munich and on 22 February 1934 in Berlin.

Story
Werner Dux, heir of the big car company "Dux-Werke", is a gambler who has just been arrested in Chicago for shooting a cardsharper. While in jail, he learns from his friend Michael Nissen that his father has died recently. That means that the Dux-Werke are without a leader at the moment, for Werner's cousin Steffie, who is his co-heiress, is still too young to run the firm. In this situation, Werner convinces his friend Michael, who is an engineer by profession, to take over the firm as long as he is arrested and to pose as him. Michael agrees and is able to bring the firm up again. He even arranges a reliability test for motorcycles via Konstantinopel, Rome and Barcelona, which creates a big Turkish order for the company. Therefore, Steffie is looking up to him (whom she considers to be Werner) respectful.

When the real Werner escapes from jail and arrives in Germany, it looks as if the whole story is up to bust. But Werner needs money, so he convinces Michael to go on like before and hand over all profits of the firm to him. But meanwhile, Michael has become interested in Steffie and feels bad by betraying her. So he went on holiday in a secluded lodge, and after his return, he is somehow changed. Steffie is worried he might have met another woman and at the presentation of a new car model, she demands an explanation from him, but Michael is not able to give her one. Now Werner arrives and begins to court Steffie, who does not recognize him. Still unhappy about Michaels behaviour, she follows Werner into his villa, but when he tries to approach her, she turns him back. Deeply offended, he tells her about his real name, and now Steffie understands why Michael has moved back from her.

One day, Werner is shot dead, and Michael is suspected to be his murderer. The only one who believes in his innocence is Steffie. Shortly before his condemnation, the real murderer can be arrested. After his release, Michael disappears without a trace. Steffie, who has looked for him in vain, now hopes to meet him at the reliability test race, where their motorcycles have good prospects. Driven by ambition, Michael really appears there, and Steffie can finally embrace him.

Reception

The film, which was rated as "not suitable for adolescents" by filmcheckers of the propaganda ministry, did nevertheless receive the attribute "artistically" by the same institution. The attribute meant that the distributors and cinemas had to pay less entertainment tax when showing this film. It was also shown to many other European countries; the following year, it made his debut in Denmark on 5 August and in Finland on 25 August. Foreign-language versions were also produced for Italy (L´evaso di Chicago), Greece (O asotos yios) and Czechoslovakia (Uprchlik z Chicaga). To US cinema-goers, the film was first shown on 15 March 1936.

John Mason (April 4, 1766March 19, 1849) was an early American merchant, banker, officer (armed forces), and planter. As a son of George Mason, a Founding Father of the United States, Mason was a scion of the prominent Mason political family.

Early life and education
Mason was born on April 4, 1766, at Mattawoman plantation, the estate of his maternal grandparents William Eilbeck and Sarah Edgar Eilbeck. He was eighth child and fifth-eldest son of George Mason IV and his wife Ann Eilbeck. Like his brothers, Mason was tutored at his father's estate, Gunston Hall, in Fairfax County, Virginia. His tutors were Scotsmen Mr. Davidson and Mr. Constable. After the American Revolutionary War, Mason, his brother Thomas, and a cousin, studied with Reverend Buchnan, rector of Aquia and Pohick churches, who resided on Passapatanzy Creek.

Mason completed his formal education in mathematics with another Scotsman, Mr. Hunter, in Calvert County, Maryland. He was then apprenticed to a Quaker merchant William Hartshorne of the firm of Harper & Hartshorne in Alexandria, Virginia. Mason accompanied his father George Mason to the Philadelphia Convention, but returned to continue his apprenticeship with Hartshorne before the Convention ended. Mason remained with Hartshorne until spring 1788, when he then entered into a partnership with merchants James and Joseph Fenwick of Maryland.

Merchant and banking career
On June 22, 1788, Mason travelled to Bordeaux, France to conduct business for Fenwick & Mason firm there. Despite the onset of the French Revolution, Mason remained in France until 1791 and only then left due to his ill health. The Bordeaux branch of Fenwick & Mason continued to thrive, but was liquidated in 1793 because of the encroaching threat of war in Europe. Declining prices of tobacco were also partly to blame for the firm's Bordeaux closure.

By Spring 1792, Mason had established a branch of Fenwick & Mason in Georgetown. As the firm expanded, it became involved in a variety of other lucrative ventures including bankinging, international commerce, the organization of foundries, and navigation and turnpike companies. Fenwick & Mason also became involved in the flour and wheat trade in addition to its tobacco operations. His father also told him to supervise his youngest brother, Thomas, whom their father had likewise apprenticed with an Alexandria merchant before setting him up in business in Richmond, Virginia. However, their father died by year end. His eldest brother, George Mason V, filed a will with the Fairfax County Circuit Court that their father had executed in 1773, shortly after their mother's death. Despite their father's speeches urging abolition of slavery in the U.S. Constitutional Convention, that will freed no slaves, but made his grown sons wealthy men. Around the time of George Mason V's death, John Mason both built a house on Analostan Island which he inherited from their father. He and Thomas then become their father's executors, the other named executor, neighbor Martin Cockburn who had become the Prince William county sheriff, then judge, declining to serve.

John Mason also served on the board of directors of the Bank of Columbia and became its president in 1798. Around this same time, Mason purchased large tracts of land in the Federal City. In 1805 he also agreed to construction of a causeway to Analostan Island, from which he operated a ferry service between Virginia and Georgetown, where he also had a residence. Alexandria merchants unsuccessfully petitioned Congress and Virginia's legislature to take back the island and approximately 26 square miles of the 100 square mile federal city in 1804 and 1824 (only succeeding in 1846, after the then-elderly Mason was disabled by a stroke). In 1809 he received approval to construct a turnpike between his ferry and the Alexandria turnpike into the federal city (that became U.S. Route 1).

In 1807, Mason was appointed Superintendent of the Indian Trade, and held that position until 1816. Mason also became the first Commanding General brigadier general of the District of Columbia militia, which is today's District of Columbia National Guard. He was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson on June 28, 1802—a position he would hold until 1811. Through this role, Mason became commissioner general of prisoners during the War of 1812. He also helped President Madison and other federal officials escape into Virginia when the British burned many buildings in the new national capital during that war.

In 1817, he became the president of the Potomac Company. His nephew Thomson Francis Mason was later chairman of the Alexandria Canal further downstream.

Mason acquired Henry Foxall's Foxhall Cannon Foundry in Georgetown in 1815. Mason continued to operate the foundry until his death in 1849. For five years after Mason's death, the foundry remained part of the Mason estate with Mason's son Maynadier Mason as its superintendent.

In 1833, financial reverses caused Mason to move his family to Clermont, four miles outside Alexandria in the Cameron Run valley.

Marriage and children
Mason married Anna Maria Murray, daughter of James Murray and his wife Sarah Ennalls Maynadier, in Annapolis, Maryland on February 10, 1796. The couple had ten children:
 John T. Mason Jr. (February 18, 1797– August 11, 1859)
 James Murray Mason (November 3, 1798– April 28, 1871)
 Sarah Maria Mason (September 11, 1800– July 29, 1890) married Samuel Cooper
 Virginia Mason (October 12, 1802– January 21, 1838)
 Catherine Eilbeck Mason Jamison (July 12, 1804– March 7, 1888)
 Eilbeck Mason (May 20, 1806– June 28, 1862)
 Murray Mason (January 4, 1808– January 11, 1875)
 Maynadier Mason (January 4, 1808 – April 1865)
 Anna Maria Mason (February 26, 1811– November 3, 1898) married Sydney Smith Lee
 Joel Barlow Mason (June 9, 1813 – 1861)

Residences

Following Mason's marriage to Anna Maria Murray in 1796, he settled in Georgetown on property located at the corner of present-day 25th and L Streets and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest. Mason also built a summer residence on Analostan Island (now Theodore Roosevelt Island) on the Potomac River, which became the scene of many elegant social activities in the District of Columbia. Analostan Island had been acquired by George Mason in 1724. Mason inherited the Island from his father upon his death in 1792 and owned it until 1833. The island was famous for its gardens, which were designed and installed by English gardener David Hepburn. Mason continued the operation of the ferry which crossed the Potomac River from Georgetown to the Virginia. After suffering a series of financial setbacks, Mason was forced to give up Analostan Island, and in 1833, the family moved to Clermont in the Cameron Run valley in Fairfax County, Virginia. Mason and his family had already vacated the island in 1831 when a causeway stagnated the water in the Potomac River.

Later life
Mason died on March 19, 1849, at age 82. His body was interred at Christ Church Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia.
