A Song at Twilight is a play in two acts by Noël Coward. It is one of a trio of plays collectively titled Suite in Three Keys, all of which are set in the same suite in a luxury hotel in Switzerland. The play depicts an elderly writer confronted by his former mistress with facts about his past life that he would prefer to forget.

First produced in London in 1966, the play is one of Coward's last works for the stage.

Background and productions
The original idea for A Song at Twilight was inspired by Lord David Cecil's biography of Max Beerbohm, in which Cecil described Constance Collier's late-life visit to Beerbohm at his home in Italy. Coward said, "I thought how funny this was. There was Max's old flame coming to visit him, but so much more vital still than him that she totally exhausted him in seconds." Coward developed this by making his author a closeted homosexual, whose relations with women have been mainly for camouflage. Many people took the character to be based on Somerset Maugham, and Coward's stage make up was thought to underline the point by its "curious" resemblance to Maugham.

The play was first produced at the Queen's Theatre, London on 14 April 1966, directed by Vivian Matalon. Suite in Three Keys was planned by Coward as his theatrical swan song: "I would like to act once more before I fold my bedraggled wings." Coward's previous play, Waiting in the Wings (1960), had not been a critical success, but the climate of opinion had changed in the intervening six years, and Coward's works had undergone a period of rediscovery and re-evaluation, which Coward called "Dad's Renaissance". This had begun with a successful revival of Private Lives at the Hampstead Theatre and continued with a new production of Hay Fever at the National Theatre. His co-stars in A Song at Twilight were Lilli Palmer (Carlotta), Irene Worth (Hilde) and Sean Barrett (Felix).

The play was revived in 1999 for Coward's centennial in a production at the Gielgud Theatre directed by Sheridan Morley. The cast included Vanessa Redgrave as Carlotta, Kika Markham as Hilde, Corin Redgrave as Hugo and Matthew Bose as Felix. The play then went on a UK tour in 2009 (directed by Nikolai Foster, with Peter Egan as Hugo, Belinda Lang as Carlotta, Kerry Peers as Hilde and Daniel Bayle as Felix) and another in 2019 (directed by Stephen Unwin, with Simon Callow as Hugo, Jane Asher as Carlotta, Jessica Turner as Hilde and Ash Rizi as Felix.)

Plot
Hilde Latymer, Sir Hugo's former secretary and for nearly twenty years his wife, discusses literary business by telephone. Hugo joins her and displays signs of nervousness at the impending arrival of Carlotta. He explains to Hilde that his affair with Carlotta "lasted exactly two years and we parted in a blaze of mutual acrimony". He does not know why she now wishes to see him again after so many years.

Carlotta arrives. Hilde introduces herself and leaves Carlotta alone with Hugo. Their reminiscences of old times together mix sentimental and waspish memories. The atmosphere becomes tense when Carlotta asks for Hugo's permission to reproduce some of his love letters to her in her forthcoming memoirs. He refuses, and she offers to return them to him, as they are no further use to her. However, she has in her possession other letters written by Hugo – to Perry Sheldon, whom she knew in his dying days, and who, she says, was "the only true love" of Hugo's life. Hugo admits that in the past he had "homosexual tendencies". Carlotta dismisses this, and tells him,  "You're as queer as a coot and you have been all your life." She reproaches him for his neglect of Perry, his former lover, and also for his pretence of heterosexuality which has made his novels and especially his autobiography dishonest.

Hilde returns. To Hugo's amazement she knows all about his affair with Perry, and she persuades Carlotta to return all the letters that Hugo wrote to him. Carlotta gives them to Hugo. In return, Hugo changes his mind about his letters to her, and gives his consent to their publication in her book. Hilde shows Carlotta out, and returns to find Hugo reading his old letters, "deeply moved... with a sigh [he] covers his eyes with a hand".

Roles and original cast
Hilde Latymer – Irene Worth
Felix, a waiter – Sean Barrett
Hugo Latymer – Noël Coward
Carlotta Gray – Lilli Palmer

Critical reception
In his diary Coward wrote, "Well, the most incredible thing has happened. Not only has A Song at Twilight opened triumphantly, but the Press notices have on the whole been extremely good. Most particularly the Express and the Evening Standard. Fortunately the Sun struck a sour note... which convinced me that I hadn't entirely slipped." The Times, noting the parallel with Maugham, praised both the play and the acting. The critic of The Daily Mail said, "as the curtain fell last night I felt oddly elated, as if I had recaptured the flavour of an exclusive drink which one tasted when young but has never been mixed quite right since. I know the name of it now: not mannerism, not bravura, not histrionics, but style."

Coward later said of Neil Simon's 1968 Plaza Suite, "Such a good idea having different plays all played in a hotel suite!  I wonder where Neil Simon got it from?"

Dave Cottle is a retired American lacrosse coach. He was a consultant for Marquette University, when they added men's and women's varsity lacrosse on December 16, 2010. He was previously the head coach for the Maryland Terrapins men's lacrosse team at the University of Maryland from 2002 to 2010. Cottle also coached the Loyola College men's lacrosse team from 1983 to 2001.

College career
Cottle attended Northern High School in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. He later enrolled at Salisbury State University in Salisbury, Maryland, where he played lacrosse from 1975 to 1978. During his playing career, he set numerous school and NCAA records. In his freshman season, 1975, Cottle led the nation in scoring, and became the second player in history to surpass 100 points in a season. He was named an All-American three years.

Coaching career

Loyola College
Cottle began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Salisbury and then spent three years as the head coach at the Severn School, where he compiled a 26–9 record. In 1983, he took over as head coach at Loyola. In 1988, he led the Greyhounds to the NCAA tournament, and repeated the feat each subsequent season of his career at Loyola for a total of 14 appearances. Each of those years, the Greyhounds finished the season ranked in the top ten. In 1989, Cottle guided his team to become the only one in school history to finish the regular season undefeated. In 1990, Loyola advanced through the NCAA tournament to the final, before losing to Syracuse. The Greyhounds finished the 1994 season with an 11–2 record, one of their best in history, and recorded their first ever win over cross-town rival Johns Hopkins, 17–15. In 1999, Loyola under Cottle became the first team with a top seeding to not advance to the NCAA semifinals (Final Four).

Maryland
Cottle was hired as the head coach for the University of Maryland men's lacrosse team in September 2001. In his first season, 2002, the Terps finished 9–4 and did not qualify for the NCAA tournament. Beginning in 2003, Maryland made an appearance each subsequent season of Cottle's tenure. In 2003, the Terrapins appeared in the national tournament semifinals for the first time since 1998 and finished ranked number-three in the nation. The following season, Maryland won the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championship for the first time since 1998. In 2005, Cottle led the Terps to a second consecutive ACC title. Maryland again made Final Four appearances in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, Maryland had an attacking corps composed entirely of freshman, but advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals before being eliminated by Virginia in an overtime game.

In 2010, Maryland earned the number-three seed in the NCAA tournament, and were strong favorites to reach the semifinals after number-two seed Syracuse was upset by Army in the first round. The Terrapins, however, were upset by Notre Dame in the second round. The following day, Cottle announced his resignation. Maryland athletic director Deborah Yow had earlier told Cottle that he was expected to reach the semifinals for a contract extension to be considered.

The Terrapins finished each of his nine seasons with a winning percentage of no less than 0.625. The team also has advanced to the NCAA tournament eight out of nine years. Cottle received criticism, however, due to his inability to lead his team to the NCAA finals. At the time, the Terrapins had not secured a national title since 1975, despite being the largest school in the state of Maryland, a traditional bastion of lacrosse talent. In 2001, some Maryland supporters had been critical of the athletic department's selection of Cottle over interim head coach Dave Slafkosky or former Syracuse star Gary Gait, who was an assistant for the Maryland women's team at the time.

Chesapeake Bayhawks
In July 2010, the Chesapeake Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse hired Cottle as a consultant.

Marquette University
In December 2010, Marquette University in the Big East conference hired Cottle as a consultant.

Personal life
Cottle currently resides in Edgewater, Maryland Cottle is father to three daughters.

The Dominion Police Force was the federal police force of Canada between 1868 and 1920, and was one of the predecessors of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It was the first federal police force in Canada, formed the year following the Canadian Confederation to enforce federal laws and perform policing duties for the Federal Government of Canada. On 1 February 1920, the Dominion Police was merged with the Royal North-West Mounted Police to form the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as the new federal police force of Canada.

History
The Dominion Police was formed as the first federal police force with jurisdiction over the entirety of Canada, built from the Western Frontier Constabulary which had been in existence since 1864. It was mainly active in Eastern Canada, while the North-West Mounted Police, founded in 1873, handled the expansive and sparsely populated North-West Territories of Western Canada.

It was created on May 22, 1868, in response to the assassination of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, a prominent Irish-Canadian politician and MP for Montreal West, in Ottawa on 7 April. McGee was killed by elements of the Fenian Brotherhood, a powerful Irish nationalist organization based in the United States, in the new federal capital less than a year after Confederation. The Canadian authorities were worried about the power of the Fenian Brotherhood, which had already launched three major raids into Canada in 1866 before McGee's death, and that existing law enforcement agencies were not capable of protecting state security.

Its primary functions were:

 protection of buildings of the Federal Government of Canada, including the Parliament Buildings on Parliament Hill, the naval yards at Halifax and Esquimalt,
 providing bodyguards for government leaders,
 carrying out secret service work arising from the activities of the Fenian raids,
 enforcing certain federal laws such as those relating to counterfeiting and human trafficking, and
 keeping the peace for specified railways and canals that were under construction when the Public Works Peace Preservation Act, 1869 was brought into force.

They gradually also acquired responsibilities for compiling fingerprint and criminal records, and administering a parole service.

In Ontario, commissioners of the Dominion Police were vested with the same powers as police magistrates and justices of the peace in the province, and constables had the same status as those appointed under provincial law. The Dominion Police informally handled some provincial-level policing duties in rural Ontario until the creation of the Ontario Provincial Police in 1909.

In May 1918, the Dominion Police were reassigned to the Department of Militia and Defence and became a civilian wing of the Canadian Military Police Corps (CMPC). In the early 1900s, the Royal North-West Mounted Police had declined as the North-West Territories was divided into new provinces and territories, and due to the general unpopularity of the force for conduct during industrial disputes such as the Winnipeg General Strike. On 1 February 1920, the civilian members of the CMPC, including the Dominion Police, were merged with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the CMPC was disbanded on 1 December 1920.

Structure
The Dominion Police consisted of Commissioners and constables appointed for that purpose, and its authority extended over the provinces and all parts of the territories not patrolled by the RNWMP. The organization was decentralized, with many Commissioners being appointed with either provincial or national responsibility, and it had two national co-commissioners until 1876. The national Commissioner also acted as the Commissioner of the Montreal Water Police, which reported separately to the Minister of the Marine and Fisheries. Although formed under different statutory authority, its constables were appointed as police officers under the 1868 Act.

The commissioners that had responsibility for all of Canada were:

 Gilbert McMicken (1869-1871)
 Hewitt Bernard (1871-1876)
 Charles-Joseph Coursol (1869-1876)
 Zebulon Aiton Lash (1876-1880)
 Augustus Keefer (1880-1885)
 Sir Percy Sherwood (1885-1919)
 Colonel Gilbert Godson-Godson (1919-1920)

From 1913, while Sherwood was the commissioner responsible for all of Canada, the title for this senior commissioner role was adjusted to Chief Commissioner, to whom all regional or departmental commissioners reported.

Ranks
The ranks of the Dominion Police were as follows:
Chief Commissioner ("chief" designation added 1913)
Commissioner
Inspector
Sub-inspector
Sergeant
Constable

Lulu () is a 1953 Italian drama film directed by Fernando Cerchio.

Plot
Mario, a student from a noble Milanese family, falls in love with Lulù, a young slender girl. While the student is at Lulu's house, her protector arrives and gives him the keys to the apartment. Mario, who had naively believed in Lulu's good faith, leaves the house upset. When she returns after some time, he no longer finds her than she does: she has left the apartment and returned to live with her parents, people of questionable principles, who suggest that their daughter pretend to be pregnant. Mario, feeling responsible, marries Lulu against the wishes of his family and continues his studies in Milan, finding accommodation in the countryside in a house left by his grandmother. Lulu begins to find country life boring and resumes an old relationship. When Mario is warned by an anonymous letter, he rushes home and surprises Lulu with her lover. The latter, threatened by Mario, shoots him, but hits Lulu who stood between the two.

Everth Cabrera (born November 17, 1986) is a Nicaraguan professional baseball infielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres and Baltimore Orioles. He led the National League (NL) in stolen bases in 2012, and was an All-Star in 2013.

Professional career

Colorado Rockies
Cabrera began his professional career in 2006, playing in the Colorado Rockies organization for the Casper Rockies. In 54 games, he hit .254 with 18 stolen bases. In 2007, he played for the Tri-City Dust Devils and Modesto Nuts, hitting .300 with 12 stolen bases in 150 at bats for the former and .267 in 15 at-bats for the latter.

While with the Asheville Tourists in 2008, in 121 games he hit .284 with 73 stolen bases—more than any other minor leaguer.

San Diego Padres
He was selected by the Padres from the Rockies minor league system in the Rule 5 draft on December 11, 2008.

2009–2012
Cabrera stole 9 bases in spring training 2009 for the Padres, and made the opening day roster as a backup infielder.  As a Rule 5 draftee, the Padres were required to keep Cabrera on the 25-man roster throughout the 2009 season.  He got his first hit in the major leagues on April 8, a double off of Cory Wade of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the seventh inning at Petco Park.

Cabrera had a solid rookie year debut despite losing two months to a hand injury, batting .255 with 25 steals and 59 runs scored in 103 games with the Padres, but he also led all NL shortstops with 23 errors.  On August 7, Cabrera hit a walk-off grand-slam off the Mets closer Francisco Rodríguez in the bottom of the 9th, capping a Padres win 6 – 2. Cabrera helped defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 16 (F/10, 6-5) with a game-winning, walk-off RBI that scored another fast rookie, Luis Durango. In November 2009, Cabrera was named Nicaragua's Professional Sports Athlete of the Year.

Cabrera was the Padres Opening Day shortstop in 2010, but only played in 76 games that year due to a nagging right hamstring injury.  His performance also fell off significantly compared to 2009, and the Padres signed Jason Bartlett in the offseason to be their regular shortstop.

Cabrera spent the majority of the 2011 season with the Tucson Padres of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL), only appearing with the Major League club in two games in mid-July.  Cabrera separated his shoulder at the end of the 2011 season, and the injury continued to bother him into spring training in 2012, where Cabrera said he "couldn't swing 100 percent" and didn't feel good about the shoulder.

Cabrera started the 2012 season with the Tucson Padres where he posted a .333 batting average and .389 on-base percentage in 34 games.  On May 17, he was called up to the major league club when Bartlett was sent to the disabled list after a poor start to the year, and Cabrera became the Padres everyday shortstop.

Cabrera had an exceptional year on the basepaths in 2012.  On July 14 in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cabrera stole home in the 9th inning to score the tying run.  The eventual winning run then scored when pitcher Kenley Jansen threw the ball past the catcher.  This was the first time in nearly 30 years that a regular season MLB game was won with the tying or go-ahead run scoring on a steal of home in the 9th inning or later. In a September 30 game, he became the first player in 14 years to steal four bases without recording a hit. Cabrera became the first Padre to lead the NL in stolen bases with 44. He set a team record with a 91.7 percent success rate on steals (44-for-48), which also led the NL.  He also set Padres team records with 24 consecutive stolen bases without being caught to start the season, and 28 straight successful steals dating back to 2010.  Cabrera finished the season batting .246, with a .324 on-base percentage, in a career-high 115 games played. After the 2012 season, Cabrera played for the Nicaragua national baseball team for the 2013 World Baseball Classic Qualifying Tournament

2013–2014
Cabrera opened 2013 as the Padres shortstop and started 69 consecutive games at the position before he went to the 15-day disabled list in mid-June with a hamstring injury.  On May 14, Cabrera collected the 60,000th hit in Padres history.  He was selected to the  All-Star team as a reserve, having a .291 batting average, .373 on-base percentage, and 34 stolen bases at the break.

On August 5, 2013, Cabrera was suspended 50 games, the remainder of the Padres' season, by Major League Baseball for using performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis.  At the time of the suspension, he was leading the National League with 37 stolen bases.  Cabrera ended the year with a .283/.355/.381 line in 95 games played.

Cabrera batted .232/.272/.300 in 90 games during the 2014 season. He became a free agent on December 2, 2014 after he was non-tendered by the Padres.

On February 25, 2015, Cabrera and the Baltimore Orioles finalized a one-year contract for the 2015 season. The deal was worth $2.4 million. He was designated for assignment by Baltimore on June 5, and was released on June 13. He hit just .208/.250/.229 in 29 games as a member of the Orioles.

San Francisco Giants
On July 16, 2015, Cabrera signed a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants. He batted .231 for the Sacramento River Cats of the PCL. Cabrera was not promoted to the majors when rosters expanded on September 1, and was released the next day after refusing to play for Sacramento.

Chicago White Sox
On January 7, 2017, Cabrera signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox. He was released on July 14.

Post-MLB
On March 19, 2018, Cabrera signed with the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna of the Mexican Baseball League.  On April 23, 2018, Cabrera was traded to the Leones de Yucatán of the Mexican Baseball League. He became a free agent following the season.  In 2018-19 Cabrera appeared in the Mexican Pacific League for the Cañeros de Los Mochis.  Cabrera next appeared in the Nicaraguan Professional Baseball League, in 2019-20 for the Gigantes de Rivas and in 2020-21 for Tren del Norte.

Biogenesis involvement
During spring training of 2013, Everth Cabrera's name was reported to have appeared in documents retrieved from the Biogenesis clinic which listed him as having received the clinic's products.  MLB officials were investigating the head of the clinic, Anthony Bosch, and his ties to performance-enhancing drugs.  Cabrera said he was "a little surprised" and "disappointed" by the report, which said Cabrera's name was listed next to a dollar amount and a date of March.  At the time of the report, Cabrera spoke to both manager Bud Black and general manager Josh Byrnes, and Black said they were "satisfied" and that "We believe this will resolve itself in a positive way".

After completing an investigation in August, MLB suspended Cabrera and 12 other players for involvement with the Biogenesis clinic.  Cabrera was one of 12 players receiving 50-game suspensions, all of whom made a deal with MLB to not appeal the decision.  In a press conference on the day of his suspension, Cabrera admitted to taking a banned substance and apologized to fans and his teammates.  He did not specify the substance, but said he took it briefly after he realized that his shoulder was still not healthy as spring training was approaching in 2012.  He also stated that he did not initially seek out the substance, but it was presented to him by a consultant employed by his former agents. The same agency has been linked to all 12 players who received 50-game suspensions in the scandal.

Personal life
During spring training in 2012, Cabrera was arrested on a charge of assault stemming from an incident of domestic violence. Prosecutors dismissed the charge in June.

An officer of the California Highway Patrol arrested Cabrera on September 3, 2014, on suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana. In November 2014, Cabrera was charged with resisting arrest. In February 2015, Cabrera reached a plea deal with San Diego County and received a sentence of three years probation, a $655 fine, and eighty hours of volunteer work.

Buccinulum vittatum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Buccinidae.

Distribution
This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found all around New Zealand and as far south as the New Zealand subantarctic islands. The species was first documented in 1833 by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard.

Taxonomy
Four subspecies were previously recognised but they are currently considered to be taxonomically invalid based on shell morphology and genetic data. B. v. vittatum (the nominate subspecies Buccinulum vittatum vittatum) is found in the northern half of the North Island; B. v. bicinctum is found on the Chatham Islands; B. colensoi is found on the South-East coast of the North island; B. v. littorinoides in Cook Strait, the sub-Antarctic islands and South Island.

Description
The shell of this species is about 25mm in length.

Trinity Episcopal Church, now known as Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, is the first Episcopal and the oldest surviving sanctuary in Columbia, South Carolina. It is a Gothic Revival church that is modeled after York Minster in York, England. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1971.

Trinity Church is on east side of Sumter Street between Gervais and Senate Streets. It is directly east of the South Carolina State House.

Early history
In 1812, the Society for the Advancement of Christianity in South Carolina, which was formed in 1810 by the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, sent Rev. Fowler to Columbia to establish a mission. The parish was organized on August 8, 1812. Bishop Theodore Dehon visited on May 13, 1813 and held services at the State House. It was incorporated by the South Carolina Legislature as the "Episcopal Church in Columbia."

The Legislature gave four lots on Lady Street to the Presbyterian and Episcopal congregations with the condition that they pay half their value to the Baptist and Methodist congregations to assist in construction of their churches. The Episcopalians sold their lots to the Presbyterians for the construction of the existing First Presbyterian Church.

The cornerstone for the first church was laid on March 7, 1814. Bishop Dehon consecrated Trinity Church on December 14, 1814. The wooden church on the southeastern corner of Sumter and Gervais Streets had a cruciform shape. General Hampton donated $2,000 () and the organ to the church.

After a period of four years without a rector, Peter J. Shand was sent by the Diocese as a lay reader. On January 19, 1834, he was ordained a deacon and was invited by the vestry to run the church. He accepted and stayed for the next fifty-two years. The parish grew. In 1838, it began an African American Sunday School in 1838, installed a new organ in 1839, and began a school for indigent students in 1844.

Architecture

The Gothic Revival church was designed by Edward Brickell White and calls to mind the medieval York Minster. The cornerstone was laid on November 26, 1845, by the rector, Peter Shand. Although the church had a cruciform design, only the nave and the twin towers were constructed. Each tower had eight pinnacles topped with a fleur de lis. The brick structure was plastered with buff stucco. The towers and walls have shouldered buttresses. The nave has a clerestory, which is the only one in a Columbia church. The roof is supported on exposed wooden beams. Bishop Gadsden consecrated the church on February 14, 1857.

The baptismal font donated by John S. Preston was sculpted by Hiram Powers. This was later donated to the Church of the Nativity in Union, South Carolina and replaced by another Preston family donation sculpted by Hiram Powers.

Around 1860, the stained-glass windows from Munich were added around 1860. In 1861 and 1862, which were the early years of the Confederacy, the transepts and an apsidal chancel were constructed under the direction of Edward Brickell White.
In 1890, a memorial stained-glass window in honor of Dr. Peter Shand was installed in the chancel. Later in the decade, additions included a Jardine chancel organ, choir stalls, a choir room, the eagle lectern, and the pulpit.

Later history

Local tradition holds that laymen took down the church's Episcopal signs and put paper-mâché crosses on the roof when the Union Army entered Columbia on February 17, 1865. They felt that this might protect the church because General Sherman was Catholic. When Sherman's army set fire to Columbia, the rectory burned in the fire, but the church survived. A photograph taken around 1862 shows a large cross at the peak of the gable on the front of the church.

In June 1865, the commander of the Columbia garrison of the Union Army ordered Rev. Shand to say the prayer for the president in the Book of Common Prayer, letting him know that a member of his staff would attend the service. When Shand began the prayer, the parish members rose from their knees and did not say "Amen."

In 1922, the Diocese of South Carolina was divided. Trinity Church became part of the new Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina. Trinity Church was named the cathedral of the diocese on January 19, 1977.

Churchyard

At various times in the history of the parish, three live oak trees were planted in the churchyard. The Sire Oak was planted in 1814 after the first church was built. The second was planted in 1900 after finishing the church. The third tree was planted in 1925 when the Parish House was finished. There is a wrought iron fence around the churchyard.

The churchyard is the burial site for many noted South Carolinians: American Revolutionary War generals Wade Hampton I and Peter Horry and Private Robert Stark; Wade Hampton II, who was a veteran of the War of 1812 and noted plantation owner; John Gabriel Guignard, who was surveyor of Columbia; Dr. Thomas Cooper, who was president of South Carolina College; Confederate generals States Rights Gist, Wade Hampton III, and John S. Preston; the poet Henry Timrod; Senator Preston; six South Carolina governors: Richard Irvine Manning I, John Lawrence Manning, Hugh Smith Thompson, Richard Irvine Manning III, and James F. Byrnes; U.S. Attorney Terrell L. Glenn Sr.; and eight bishops, including Ellison Capers.

James Edward Bowman Jr. (February 5, 1923 – September 28, 2011) was an American physician and specialist in pathology, hematology, and genetics.  He was a professor of pathology and genetics at the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago. He published more than ninety works across the fields of human genetics; population genetics; and ethical, legal and public policy issues in human genetics. He received many awards, including the Chicago African American History Makers Award and recognition from the Hastings Center and Stanford’s Kaiser Family Foundation, and Howard University.

Early life and education
James Edward Bowman was born on February 5, 1923, in Washington, D.C., the eldest of five children of Dorothy Bowman (née Peterson), a homemaker, and James Edward Bowman Sr., a dentist. His parents were African-American. He attended Dunbar High School before earning his undergraduate and medical degrees from Howard University in 1943 and 1946.  He did internships at Freedmen's Hospital in Washington, D.C. and at Provident Hospital in Chicago. His residency in pathology was at St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago where he was the first African American resident, and was certified by the American Board of Pathology in pathologic anatomy (1951) and clinical pathology (1952).

Career
Following residency, Bowman served as chair of pathology at Provident Hospital in Chicago. He was drafted again and spent 1953 to 1955 as chief of pathology for the Medical Nutrition Laboratory at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. After leaving the military he moved overseas. "My wife and I decided that we were not going to go back to anything that smacked of segregation," he recalled. He became chair of pathology at Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz, Iran. "We were recently married, so we took a chance," he said. "It changed our lives completely." Their daughter, Valerie, was born in Iran.

In Iran, Bowman saw many diseases for the first time. "I saw smallpox, brucellosis, rabies, all sorts of things," he said. One of the most common diseases among certain ethnic groups in Iran was glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency favism, an Inborn error of metabolism metabolic disease caused by an enzyme deficiency in red blood cells. The mutation, which is the most common human enzyme defect, renders those who have it unable to break down a toxin found in fava beans. This led to a   series of important discoveries about the genetics of inherited blood diseases and the populations they affect, especially in the Middle East, Africa and America. It enabled him to travel all over the world collecting blood samples for DNA testing. It also led to frequent contacts and collaborations with University of Chicago researchers, who had first described the enzyme deficiency (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, or G6PD) and its connection with antimalarial medications.

Bowman joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 1962 as  assistant professor of medicine and pathology and director of the hospital's blood bank. He was promoted to full professor and director of laboratories in 1971. From 1973 to 1984, he directed the university's Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, funded by the National Institutes of Health. He was a member of the national advisory group that urged the Nixon administration to initiate the inception of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, which served as a model of patient-centered disease management and research. He also served as assistant dean of students for minority affairs for the Pritzker School of Medicine from 1986 to 1990.

In 1972, Bowman stated that mandatory sickle cell screening laws were "more harmful than beneficial." These laws could "revive many of the past misadventures and racism of eugenics movements," he argued at the time, adding that adult screening programs create "inaccurate, misleading, politically motivated propaganda which has left mothers frantic." In 1973, he was named to two federal review committees designed to oversee sickle cell screening and education and to evaluate laboratory diagnostic techniques.

He was the first tenured African-American professor in the University of Chicago's Biological Sciences Division. Upon his death, the University of Chicago established the Bowman Society as an advising group to support minority scholars pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences and to organize a regular lecture series. In 2020, the University appointed the first distinguished professorship in his honor, the James E. Bowman Jr. Professor in the Biological Sciences in the Department of Medicine.

Personal life
Bowman was married to educator Barbara Bowman and they had one daughter, Valerie Bowman Jarrett, who was a Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama.

Bowman died of cancer on September 28, 2011, at the University of Chicago Medical Center, at the age of 88.

Selected publications
Bowman published numerous articles and books, including:

Lego Rock Raiders is a video game developed by Data Design Interactive and published by Lego Media for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation. It is based on the Lego theme of the same name. The Windows version was released in 1999, while a differently built game for PlayStation was released in 2000.

Gameplay

Windows version
The Windows version is a real-time strategy game similar to Dungeon Keeper, and was the first video game for the Rock Raiders theme. The game opens with optional training missions and one actual mission unlocked. Most missions require the player to collect a certain amount of Energy Crystals, the required amount starts low but gradually gets higher in later missions. Some missions require the player to locate Rock Raiders that have been trapped in landslides, or to find certain pieces of equipment and bring it back to their base. One of the game's features is the Priority Menu. With this menu, the player can set what order Rock Raiders carry out their tasks. For example, the player can set whether Rock Raiders should collect Energy Crystals or Lego Ore first.

At the end of each mission, Chief evaluates the player's work, examining various aspects of the mission. With all these taken into consideration, Chief gives a mission rating percentage.

There are twenty-five missions total, each of them is in either a rock, lava/volcanic or ice cavern environment. It is not necessary to complete every mission with 100%, or even complete all the missions, to complete the campaign, however, the player will unlock a "better" ending cutscene by completing the campaign in full.

PlayStation version
Unlike the Windows version, the PlayStation version is an action and strategy game, in which the player controls a character instead of just commanding a squad. While the former was centered on constructing a base and mining, the latter centers on exploring.

Most missions require the player to collect a certain amount of Energy Crystals, while some missions require the player to rescue Rock Raiders that have been trapped by landslides. There are eighteen campaign missions, and six multiplayer missions, all completely different between the NTSC and PAL versions of the game. The PAL version also including three bonus missions that are accessible after the campaign is completely finished, and twelve additional multiplayer missions reusing levels from the main campaign. Rather than a percentage, at the end of each mission you receive either a bronze medal (minimum required objectives complete), a silver medal (most objectives complete), or a gold medal (all objectives complete in the required time).

Reception

The game received mixed reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.

Joshua Hodgson (born 31 October 1989) is a former English rugby league footballer who played primarily as a hooker, and has represented England and Great Britain at an international level.

He has previously played for Hull F.C. and Hull Kingston Rovers in the Super League and for the Canberra Raiders and Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League.

Hodgson began his senior club career with Hull F.C. after progressing through their Academy system, making his first team début in 2009. Due to limited first team opportunities, he joined Hull Kingston Rovers at the end of the 2009 season, where he established himself in the first team and went on to make over 100 appearances. At the end of the 2014 season, he moved to Canberra Raiders.

An England international, Hodgson made his senior international début in October 2014, and represented England at the Four Nations and 2017 World Cup.

Hodgson has suffered three career threatening Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries, in 2018, 2020 and 2022, on both knees. He suffered a neck injury in 2023 whilst playing for the Parramatta Eels which forced him to retire.

Background
Hodgson was born on 31 October 1989 in Kingston upon Hull, England, where he grew up on a housing estate with his parents, one brother, and four older half-brothers. His father, Dave, briefly played rugby league for both Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers before turning to coaching at amateur level.

Hodgson played junior rugby league with East Hull, where he was coached by former Hull player Lee Radford.

Club career

Hull FC
Hodgson joined Hull as a scholarship player at the age of 13. Hodgson represented England at under-17's and 18's level, and progressed through the club's academy ranks before being promoted to the first team for the start of the 2009 season. He made his Super League début in May 2009 against Warrington Wolves. He played two games during the season as a back row forward, which coach Richard Agar believed to be his best position. Seeking more regular first team opportunities, Hodgson left Hull at the end of the season to join Hull Kingston Rovers.

Hull Kingston Rovers
Hodgson joined Hull KR on a two-year contract, and was signed as the club's second-choice hooker behind Ben Fisher following the departure of Daniel Fitzhenry. He had an impressive 2012 season, scoring 14 tries and winning the club's player of the year and players' player of the year awards, and was rewarded with a new four-year contract. Hodgson made his 100th appearance for the club during the 2013 season, and won the players' player of the year award for the second successive year. The departure of Michael Dobson at the end of the 2013 season meant that Hodgson, along with scrum-half Travis Burns, were named co-captains for the 2014 season.

Canberra Raiders
On 4 August 2014, it was announced that Hodgson had agreed to sign for National Rugby League side Canberra Raiders for the 2015 season on a two-year deal, with Canberra paying a "substantial transfer fee" to Hull KR for Hodgson's services.

Hodgson made his début against Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in March 2015, and went on to make 24 appearances during the 2015 season, scoring two tries, including a game winning golden point try against Parramatta.

Hodgson enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2016 as he led Canberra to a top-two finish, the first for the club since the 1995 ARL season. Hodgson made 26 appearances during the season, and was considered a front-runner to win the Dally M Medal for the most of the season, but was effectively ruled out after a suspension for a grapple tackle on Melbourne Storm prop Jesse Bromwich cost him three points and a missed game. In his first NRL finals appearance, he would inspire the Raiders to a twelve-point lead over the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, however, he would miss out on most of the second half due to an ankle injury. This was the turning point in the match as Cronulla-Sutherland would record a 16-14 win. In the lead up to the semi-final against the Penrith Panthers much speculation rested on whether Hodgson would play. He was cleared to play and was a standout in the 22-12 triumph. The season would end in Melbourne the following week in a close 14-12 loss. Hodgson was selected by Wayne Bennett for the England Four Nations team.

Hodgson missed the first 14 games of the 2018 NRL season with a knee injury and made his first appearance of the year in Canberra's 48-12 victory over the Wests Tigers in round 15.

He joined the leadership team by being appointed as the co-captain for the Canberra. Hodgson made a total of 24 appearances for Canberra in the 2019 NRL season as the club reached their first grand final in 25 years.  Hodgson played in the club's 2019 NRL Grand Final defeat against the Sydney Roosters at ANZ Stadium.

In the 2020 NRL season, Hodgson made nine appearances as Canberra finished 5th and qualified for the finals.  He missed the club's finals campaign due to injury.

Hodgson made 20 appearances for Canberra in the 2021 NRL season as the club finished a disappointing 10th on the table.
On 10 December 2021, Hodgson signed a two-year deal to join Parramatta starting in the 2023 season.
In round 1 of the 2022 NRL season, Hodgson was taken from the field during Canberra's victory over Cronulla with a suspected knee injury.   The following week, Hodgson was ruled out of the entire 2022 NRL season with an ACL injury.

Parramatta Eels
Hodgson made his club debut for Parramatta in round 1 of the 2023 NRL season against Melbourne. Parramatta would lose 16-12 in golden point extra-time.
On 30 August 2023, Hodgson announced his retirement from rugby league after suffering a neck injury in round 13 of the competition. Hodgson announced via his social media account he was retiring writing “This is never the way I thought I’d be announcing the end of my footy career, but unfortunately I have been forced to medically retire".

International career
In 2012, Hodgson was called up to the England Knights squad to play Ireland, scoring a try in a 62–4 win. In October 2013, he was named captain of England Knights while being first standby for the senior squad.

In 2014, Hodgson was selected for the England squad for the 2014 Four Nations in Australia. He made his début in the opening game against Samoa, and also played in the second match against Australia, but was dropped for the final game against New Zealand. Hodgson was disciplined by England after he was filmed smashing through a door at a student flat in Dunedin following the New Zealand game, an incident which he later admitted he was embarrassed about and was out-of-character.

In 2015, Hodgson was named in the 24-man England team that played New Zealand in a three match test-series held in England. Beforehand England took on France in a test match held in Leigh. Josh scored a try in England's try scoring rout over their opponents. He scored his second test try a week later in England's 26-12 win over New Zealand in the first Baskerville Shield test.
In 2016, Hodgson was named in the 24-man England team that will play in the 2016 Four Nations. Before the tournament began, he featured in a test match against France.

In 2017, Hodgson was included in England's World Cup squad, helping his team reach the final against Australia, but did not play in the final itself after suffering a serious knee injury in the semi-final victory over Tonga.

In 2018 he was selected for England against France at the Leigh Sports Village.

He was selected in squad for the 2019 Great Britain Lions tour of the Southern Hemisphere. He made his Great Britain test debut in the defeat by Tonga.

Death on Demand is a 2008 horror film, directed by Adam Matalon and distributed by MTI Home Video. It is the first release from the Evil Twins production company.

Plot
A live webcast from a reputedly haunted house turns into a supernatural bloodbath when the ghost of a murderous mountaineer returns to finish what he started when he slaughtered his entire family twenty years prior. It's been two decades since famed mountaineer and ice climber Sean McIntire turned the tools of his trade on his unsuspecting family, but grim legends die hard in small towns and the locals still shudder at the mere mention of his name.

Now, an unscrupulous young entrepreneur named Richard is seeking to cash in on this gruesome legend by staging a special Halloween webcast live from McIntire House. Three young couples will attempt to spend a night in the long-abandoned property, but only one will walk away with $5000 in prize money. When the ratings prove less than stellar, Richard attempts to spice things up by throwing a randy porn star into the mix.

Later, after a group séance in which the participants revive the spirit of Sean McIntire, they split up into groups and search for the clues that will help them win the competition. His supernatural strength growing thanks to the mystic powers granted to him by Himalayan monks, McIntyre chases the last remaining contestants into the darkened attic of the home as horrified viewers all over campus watch in abject horror.

Cast

Reception
DVD Verdict says that "Death on Demand isn't the worst film ever. Indeed, had it relied a little less on such lazy set-ups for each kill, it may have attained guilty pleasure status. As it is though, Death on Demand is a forgettable experience that, for me at least, left a bad taste in the mouth due to that last scene". Dread Central gave 2 out of 5, stating that "The effort was good, the idea was sound but boring someone to tears before things get good is a serious step backwards, nearly trampling all the hard work put into it.".

Wolcott–Rallison syndrome, WRS, is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with infancy-onset diabetes mellitus, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, osteopenia, mental retardation or developmental delay, and hepatic and renal dysfunction as main clinical findings. Patients with WRS have mutations in the EIF2AK3 gene, which encodes the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3.
 Other disease names include multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and early-onset diabetes mellitus. Most patients with this disease do not survive to adulthood . The majority of WRS patients die from fulminant hepatitis during childhood. There are few reported cases for this disease. Of the 54 families worldwide with reported WRS cases, 22.2% of them are from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Of the 23 WRS patients in Saudi Arabia, all but one is the result of consanguineous marriages.  Another country where WRS cases have been found is Kosovo. Here, the Albanian population is also known for consanguineous marriages, but there were some cases involving patients from non-consanguineous parents that were carriers for the same mutant allele.

Genetics
The main focus for this autosomal recessive disease is mutations to the EIF2AK3 gene. This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p11.2). In unrelated families, different mutations have been observed in the EIF2AK3 gene, including missense and nonsense mutations. For some cases for unrelated families, identical mutations were rarely observed.

The EIKF2AK3 gene codes for PERK (pancreatic endoplasmic reticulum kinase), an explanation for the spectrum of symptoms. PERK is associated with the activity of beta cells in the pancreas. Beta cells are needed for the proper release of insulin into the blood stream after an increase in blood glucose. This kinase is needed for the control of protein levels in the endoplasmic reticulum and is linked to ribosome activity. The endoplasmic reticulum is a major protein sorting and processing center in every body cell. A broad range of bodily systems is affected, including pancreas, kidney, liver, bone, and nervous system, because of deficient stress response to improperly folded proteins inside the endoplasmic reticulum. This is part of the reason why patients suffer from multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and osteopenia.

Diagnosis
Initially, patients with neonatal or early-childhood onset diabetes are possible candidates for having Wolcott–Rallison syndrome. The other features include multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, osteopenia, intellectual disability, and hepatic and renal dysfunction. Patients having features that suggest Wolcott–Rallison syndrome can be referred for genetics testing. The key way to test for this disease is through genetic testing for EIKF2AK3 mutations. Molecular genetic analysis can be done for the patient and the parents to test for inherited or de novo mutations. It can also show whether the patient's parents are heterozygotes or homozygotes for the normal genotype. X-rays can show bone age in relation to actual age. In typical WRS patients the bone age is a few years less than the chronological age. Hypothyroidism is rare in WRS patients but can occur.

Treatment

The most common method to manage hyperglycemia and diabetes is with an insulin pump. In infants and very young children long-acting insulins like Glargine and Levemir are preferred to prevent recurrent hypoglycemia. As soon as Walcott-Rallison  syndrome is the diagnosis, therapy plans need to be drawn up along with frequent checkups to monitor kidney and liver function and adjust insulin treatment. In the few cases that develop hypothyroidism, treatment with thyroxine is indicated, with the target to maintain normal circulating thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) concentrations.

Eager to Live () is a 1953 Italian drama film directed by Claudio Gora. In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."

Plot
Massimo lives in luxury, but in reality he is overwhelmed by debts and is tight in the shady business of the racing hall that he manages. To support his illusory rich life, he is forced to turn to usurers. He spends his days with a group of other snobbish and idle young people. Her partner Elena loves her, but he has no qualms about betraying her. His friend Daniele is released from prison, where he ended up despite being innocent, and discovers that Massimo, in order to pocket a derisory sum, had bribed the lawyer who defended Daniele and plotted so that his friend was sentenced. Elena is pregnant and a scam, discovered in her racing room, creates new problems for Massimo.

To silence Daniele, Massimo arranges a meeting with Lucia, her ex-girlfriend, but the girl no longer wants to know about that old love. To get out of Elena's pressures, Massimo convinces a young friend, Sandro, to take responsibility for Elena's pregnancy and to ask his parents for help. In this way he obtains that the girl is entrusted to an unscrupulous doctor who agrees to have her aborted. When Sandro discovers that he has been used and rebels, a fight breaks out and he dies hit by Massimo. To give the impression of a suicide, Massimo throws the body out of the window, at this point Lucia, even though she is in love with him, denounces him and has him arrested. Meanwhile, Elena escapes the clutches of the doctor and decides to continue the pregnancy, while Daniele is not resigned to her, he confesses to Lucia that he still loves her and that he will know how to wait for her.

The National Archaeological Museum (French: Musée d'Archéologie nationale) is a major French archaeology museum, covering pre-historic times to the Merovingian period (450–750 CE). It is housed in the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the département of Yvelines, about  west of Paris.

Building

The château had been one of the most important French royal residences in the Paris region since the 12th century. Following the move of the court to Versailles, the castle housed the court of James II of England in exile, became a cavalry school in 1809 and finally a military prison from 1836 to 1855. The château, which was in very poor condition, was classified as a monument historique on 8 April 1863.

The interior was a maze of cells, corridors, false floors and partitions. The exterior was dilapidated and covered in a black coating.
The architect Eugène Millet, a pupil of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, was given the job of restoring the château to hold the planned National Museum of Antiquities in 1855 and was told to remove all traces of the cells that the Ministry of War had installed when it  was used as a prison. In 1857 he reported that all the partitions forming the cells and dungeons had been demolished and the rest of the chateau had been cleaned.
Construction work began in 1862 with the destruction of the West pavilion. Millet's goal was to restore the building to its state as it was under Francis I of France.
Eugène Millet died in Cannes on 24 February 1879.
The restoration was continued by Auguste Lafollye and Honoré Daumet, and finally completed in 1907.

History

The museum was created by imperial decree on 8 March 1862 and formally opened on 12 May 1867. Since 2009, the museum, castle and gardens have been united as one institution, marking a new era for the museum and château.

Since its inception, the museum has been titled:
1862: Museum of Gallo-Roman antiquities (Musée des antiquités Gallo-Romaines)
1867: Museum of Celtic and Gallo-Roman antiquities (Musée des antiquités celtiques et gallo-romaines)
1879: Museum of national antiquities (Musée des antiquités nationales)
2005: National archaeological museum (Musée d'archéologie nationale)
2009: National archaeological museum, National domain of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Musée d'archéologie nationale, domaine national de Saint-Germain-en-Laye)

Museum at the time of Napoleon III

The Second French Empire coincides with a great expansion of archaeology in France. Napoleon III was passionately interested in history and archeology, and ordered digs, most notably in Alesia, Gergovia, and Bibracte to complete his biography of Julius Caesar. The question of conservation and storage of the finds quickly arises. The imperial decree creating the Musée Gallo-Romain (the Gallo-Roman museum) was signed by Napoleon III on 8 March 1862.

In 1864, Jean-Baptiste Verchère de Reffye, who was particularly involved in the project, proposed to the Emperor the project of a  "historical museum" in order to: "provide historians with precise documents on the life of our Fathers, to invite industrial figures to study ancient manufacturing secrets, to get artists to recognise how art has evolved over time." The first meeting of the committee set up to organize the museum was held on 1 April 1865 in the office of Count Émilien de Nieuwerkerke, superintendent of the École des Beaux-Arts and in charge of imperial museums. Attendees included major figures in archaeology: Alexandre Bertrand (who became the museum's first director), Édouard Lartet, Louis Félicien de Saulcy and Jacques Boucher de Crèvecœur de Perthes.

On 11 April 1866, the committee published a report detailing the main axes of the project, the organisation of the space (by age rather than by type of object, as was the practice in the past) and an estimate of the budget.

Napoleon III inaugurated the first seven rooms of the museum on the 12 May 1867, during the Paris world fair.

During WW2 and the German occupation

Starting in 1936, and following the rise in political tensions, the museum established plans to save the artifacts, a list of the most important pieces, and preparations for evacuations. The basements, with their 2.7-meter-thick vaults, were designated as the shelter for the museum employees. Wooden boxes were built for transportation (an estimated 12 trucks were needed for transportation, but the said trucks were requisitioned by the army in 1938).

On 24 August 1939, the order was given to close the museum the next day in order to evacuate the collection, dispersed between Chambord and Cheverny. Starting 24 June 1940, the museum was occupied by German troops. Despite the efforts of Raymond Lantier to contain the German occupation, the exhibition room 1 was turned into a meeting room for the German authorities in charge of Île-de-France. Shooting exercises were held in the château’s ditch, and the museum was progressively occupied by troops. Starting 1942, the château suffered damage from bombings, which destroyed some of its stained glasses.
Following the liberation of France, on 26 August 1944, the French flag was raised above the entrance and on one of the towers, ending the occupation of the museum. During this period, very little was done to the museum (apart from few acquisitions). The collections were repatriated progressively (until 15 March 1946), and the museum re-opened on 2 October 1945.

Renovations

After the war, the presentation of the museum was outdated and inadequate to meet the public's demand. Minister of Cultural Affairs André Malraux, who was passionate about archaeology, planned an ambitious renovation project started in 1961 under the direction of René Joffroy. The number of rooms was reduced to 19 and the number of pieces on display to 30,000, ending the previous "encyclopaedic" displays. The architect, André Hermant, wanted to "calm the strange decor" of the château by covering some of Millet's restoration and windows. The new layout was visited by Charles de Gaulle on 25 March 1965 and inaugurated on the 9 April 1965 by André Malraux. The renovations and the updated museology were successively rolled out up until 1984 with the opening of the comparative archaeology room, in the largest room of the castle, the room of Mars.

The courtyard's facades were renovated from 1998 to 2000, the rooms of the first floor (covering the Paleolithic to the Iron Age) were renovated from 1999 to 2006.

Collections

The museum houses about 3 million archaeological objects of which about 30,000 are exhibited, making it one of the richest collections in Europe. These finds, discovered on the French territory, are presented by chronological periods: Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman period (Roman Gaul) and the first Middle Ages (Merovingian Gaul). A collection of foreign archaeological and ethnological objects are presented in the comparative archeology room.

Paleolithic

The Paleolithic collections include objects related to the lithic industry (choppers, bifaces, microliths, etc.), and to the bone and antler industry (including needles and harpoons). The museum introduces the evolution of the genus Homo with castings of Homo erectus and Neanderthal skulls.

Among the most famous objects of the museum's Paleolithic collections is the Venus of Brassempouy, one of the earliest known realistic representations of a human face, discovered in 1892 in one of the numerous excavations of Édouard Piette in the Pyrenees. Among the many objects that Piette housed in the museum, about 10,000 are exhibited in a dedicated room. Salle Piette was restored and reopened in 2008, with the aim of restoring the original 19th-century museology and can be visited with a guide.

Neolithic

The Neolithic (around 5800 to 2100 BC) is the second period of Prehistory. The population becomes the producer of its subsistence and no longer just a predator and now influences its environment. The populations become sedentary with the appearance of agriculture and livestock. The first villages are built and the first megalithic structures erected. This period is characterized by particular technical innovations such as the polishing of stone, the appearance of ceramics and weaving. The first long-distance exchange networks are being formed.

Polishing stones are visible in the ditch of the castle.

Bronze Age

In the Bronze Age (around 2100 to 750 BC), the society is still quite similar to that of the Neolithic, but the technical advances represented by bronze work will change the society which will be more and more hierarchical.

Iron Age

The first Iron Age (780-480 BC), corresponding to the Hallstatt culture, is a period characterised by the burial in tumulus of the privileged.

The second Iron Age (480 BC - beginning of our era) is marked by a warlike society which rises in power from the fifth century BC. to the 2nd century BC. The Gauls excel in pottery, glassware, metallurgy (bronze and iron).

The museum's collections show the transformations of Gaul and the life of the Gauls before the Roman conquest. The collection of Celtic art is one of the most important in the world.

Roman Gaul

Roman Gaul (from 52 BC to the end of the 5th century AD): as a result of the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar, Gaul is integrated into the Roman Empire. Urbanization is advancing with the arrival of cities and the construction of public buildings; A road network is formed throughout Gaul.

The six rooms of the Gallo-Roman department presents evidence of the religious context (gods, the world of the dead), the presence of the Roman army in Gaul, the different types of crafts and everyday life objects (related to food, costume, ornament, transportation, writing ...).

Merovingian Gaul

The first Middle Age (from the 5th to the 6th century AD) began with the Merovingian dynasty, founded by Clovis I. Gaul became progressively frank and its christianization progressed. From this period, numerous cloisonné jewels were found with garnets set in metallic partitions, as well as buckles of damascened belts with silver or brass threads inserted in iron engraved furrows.

Comparative archeology

Archaeologist sometimes calls on other human sciences such as ethnology or sociology to interpret the traces of the past. It is in this spirit that the "comparative archeology of the five continents room" was conceived at the beginning of the twentieth century by Henri Hubert and Marcel Mauss who wanted to illustrate "the ethnographic history of Europe and humanity" from the origins of man up to the Middle Ages. Hubert conceived the general plan of this room according to two innovative ideas for the period:

As a sociologist, he believed that only a global (spatial and temporal) vision of human cultures can lead to a proper understanding of the social phenomenon;
For him, the comparison of the traces of human societies must be done according to a presentation of their technics.
This comparative approach was popular in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, although some comparisons did not survive a severe criticism (for example, the comparison of Magdalenian shoes with the Eskimos), but the comparative method, which was rigorously conceived and subjected under certain conditions, is omnipresent in any archaeological approach. It is also a necessity to situate the ancient cultural phenomena in their space, to leave the limits of French territory and a nationalist approach.

At the National Archeology Museum, this approach has resulted in two overlapping axes of presentation:

On one axis of the room the technical stages are evoked in order of appearance from the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages: stone technics, terracotta work, metallurgy.
On the cross-cutting axes a geographical section is presented: Africa, Asia, the Near East, Europe, Americas and Oceania.
This course highlights the similarities and differences in the evolution of cultures in different regions of the world. The present presentation is inherited from that made by Hubert between 1910 and 1927 but the route was renovated between 1978 and 1984.

The visitor makes successively acquaintance with the Palaeolithic and Neolithic cultures of Africa (Maghreb, South Africa, Ethiopia, Benin, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Zaire, etc.), then to the birth of the civilizations of the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East (pre-dynastic Egypt, ancient Susa, Bulgarian Thrace). Then he can compare the development and technical mastery of Bronze and Iron metalworkers in the Caucasus and Europe (objects from Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Azerbaijan, North Ossetia, etc.). From one continent to another and sometimes at different times, the exhibits show a similar state of development (transition from hunter-gatherer to producer), use of the same technique (Exploitation of flint or obsidian) or, on the contrary, very different forms or settings (Asia-America comparison, made possible by objects from China, Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, Greenland, North America, etc.).

The majority of the collection entered before the First World War. The first contribution was the Scandinavian collection offered in 1862 by Frederick VII of Denmark. The other major collections arrived through Ernest Chantre for the series of the Caucasus or Jacques and Henri de Morgan with the products of their excavations in Susa (modern day Iran) and in the pre-dynastic necropolis of Egypt

Since 2014, the room is once again home to collections of Pacific origin, with the presentation of ethnographic series from Papua New Guinea.

The comparative archeology room is located in the old ballroom of the castle, also called the room of Mars.

William Mason (22 October 1757 – 7 February 1818) was an American planter and soldier. He was a militiaman in the American Revolutionary War and a prominent Virginia planter. Mason was the third son of George Mason, an American patriot, statesman, and delegate from Virginia to the U.S. Constitutional Convention.

Early life and education
Mason was born on 22 October 1757. He was the fourth child and third eldest son of George Mason and his wife Ann Eilbeck. Like his brothers, Mason was educated by tutors at Gunston Hall.

American Revolutionary War
During the American Revolutionary War, Mason accepted a captain's commission and served in the Fairfax Militia fighting under Henry Lee III in South Carolina. In 1780, Mason's father declined an offer by Lee to continue his military service because his father felt Mason's "lot must be that of a farmer and gentleman." Mason was presented with a sword by General George Washington, which was said to have been given to him by Charles III of Spain. Mason returned to private life between December 1780 and June 1781.

Properties
In 1780, Mason inherited the Eilbeck family estates, Araby and Mattawoman, in Charles County, Maryland, from his maternal grandfather upon the death of his widow (Mason's grandmother), Sarah Eilbeck.
Mason also received all his father's properties in Charles County. These properties were located along Chicamuxen and Mattawoman Creeks, adjacent to the Eilback lands.

Marriage and children
Unlike his eldest two brothers (but like his two younger brothers), Mason did not marry during his father's lifetime, but rather within a year after his death. On July 11, 1793 William Mason married Ann Stuart, daughter of Rev. William and Sarah Stuart, on 11 July 1793 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in King George, Virginia. The bride's grandfather as well as her father served as rector of St. Paul's parish in King George County, and Sarah became the heiress of her maternal grandfather, Richard Foote of Cedar Grove plantation in King George County. The couple had five children, of whom four married. Their second son, another George Mason, would purchase Lexington from his uncle's estate and in turn left it to his son George Mason of Springbank, who died of typhoid fever and without children in Portland, Oregon on April 19, 1888.

William Stuart Mason (1795–7 March 1857)
George Mason of Hollin Hall (11 November 1797–25 March 1870)
Ann Sarah Stuart Mason Heileman (1803–9 November 1852)
Edgar Eilbeck Mason (1807–8 January 1835)
Mary Elizabeth Mason (1810–2 February 1885)

Death and legacy
Mason died on 7 February 1818 at Mattawoman in Charles County, Maryland at age 60. Although that plantation house no longer exists, Araby does. His descendants occupied Araby until 1849.  Mason's daughter Mary Elizabeth Mason sold the  including the mansion to William Thompson in that year.

Relations
William Mason (1757–1814) was:
a son of George Mason (1725–1792)
nephew of Thomson Mason (1733–1785)
first cousin of Stevens Thomson Mason (1760–1803), John Thomson Mason (1765–1824), and William Temple Thomson Mason (1782–1862)
uncle of George Mason VI (1786–1834) and Richard Barnes Mason (1797–1850), Thomson Francis Mason (1785–1838), and James Murray Mason (1798–1871)
first cousin once removed of Armistead Thomson Mason (1787–1819), John Thomson Mason (1787–1850), and John Thomson Mason, Jr. (1815–1873), and
first cousin twice removed of Stevens Thomson Mason (1811–1843).

Hemchandra Das Kanungo (4 August 1871 – 8 April 1951) was an Indian nationalist and a member of the Anushilan Samiti. Kanungo travelled to Paris in 1907, where he learnt the technique of assembling picric acid bombs from exiled Russian revolutionaries. Kanungo's knowledge was disseminated throughout Indian nationalist organisations in the Raj and abroad. In 1908, Kanungo was one of the principal co-accused with Aurobindo Ghosh in the Alipore Bomb Case (1908–09). He was sentenced to transportation for life in the Andamans, but was released in 1921.

He was probably the first revolutionary from India who went abroad to obtain military and political training. He obtained training from the Russian emigre in Paris. He returned to India in January 1908. He opened a secret bomb factory "Anushilon Samiti" at Maniktala near Kolkata, founder members of which were Hemchandra Kanungo, Aurobindo Ghosh (Sri Aurobindo) and his brother, Barindra Kumar Ghosh. He was one of the creators of the Calcutta flag, based on which the first flag of independent India was raised by Bhikaiji Cama on 22 August 1907 at the International Socialist Conference in Stuttgart, Germany.

Biography
Hemachandra decided that what was needed was technical know-how, and he went to Europe to get it. He sold his house in Calcutta to arrange money for the trip. Arriving in Marseille toward the end of 1906, he spent a few months trying to get in contact with revolutionaries, or people who knew revolutionaries, in Switzerland, France, and England. Finally, he found a backer to support him while he studied chemistry in Paris. Someone introduced Joseph Albert, known as Libertad, to Hemchandra and his friend Pandurang Bapat in July 1907. With the help of a female anarchist, apparently Emma Goldman, they were admitted to a party headed by a mysterious Russian known as Ph.D, later identified as Nicholas Safranski. During the latter part of 1907, the two Indians studied history, geography, economics, socialism, communism, and finally, the subjects they had come to learn - explosive chemistry and revolutionary organization.

Hemchandra returned from Europe with a trunk full of up-to-date technical literature, the most important item of which was a seventy-page manual on bomb-making, translated from the Russian. Hemchandra had not intended to join forces with Barindra, but after a talk with Sri Aurobindo, agreed to cooperate.

A suicide squad of two members was sent to kill Kingsford at Muzaffarpur. After bombing at wrong target, Prafulla Chaki committed suicide before the British Indian Police detained him alive but Khudiram Bose didn't do so and the Police arrested him. As a result of this incident, the covert bomb factory established by Hemchandra was raided by the British Police and shut down. Almost all of the members were arrested in a short period of time.
