Child destruction is the name of a statutory offence in England and Wales, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong and in some parts of  Australia.

Child destruction is the crime of killing an unborn but viable foetus; that is, a child "capable of being born alive", before it has "a separate existence".

People have been convicted of the offence for injuring a heavily pregnant woman in the abdomen, such that her foetus dies; for killing a foetus during childbirth; or for performing a late-term abortion.

The purpose of the offence is to criminalise the killing of a child during its birth, because this is neither abortion nor homicide for the purposes of the criminal law. It can also be used to prosecute late abortions.

During the second reading of the Preservation of Infant Life Bill 1928 to 1929, Lord Atkin said:

England and Wales

Statute

In England and Wales, the offence is created by section 1(1) of the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929:

"Capable of being born alive"

See C v S [1988] QB 135, [1987] 2 WLR 1108, [1987] 1 All ER 1230, [1987] 2 FLR 505, (1987) 17 Fam Law 269, CA (Civ Div)

In a 1991 case Brooke J said that a child is "born alive" if "after birth, it exists as a live child, that is to say breathing and living by reason of its breathing through its own lungs alone, without deriving any of its living or power of living by or through any connection with its mother."

As originally enacted, section 5(1) of the Abortion Act 1967 described the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929 with suffix "(protecting the life of the viable foetus)". It was held that this description would not alter its effect. The defence suggestion that "viable" had a narrower meaning thus described fewer foetuses than "capable of being born alive" was rejected in 1991.

By 2000, David Ormerod opines that a definition of "born alive" taken from the 1991 case is not of universal application and that an example of a case where it was not applicable was Re A (Children), where a conjoined twin who never drew breath was considered to have been born alive.

Applicability after 28 weeks' gestation has been reduced to 24 weeks.

"Felony"

The distinction between felony and misdemeanour was abolished by the Criminal Law Act 1967. That Act directs that "any enactment creating an offence by directing it to be felony shall be read as directing it to be an offence".

"Penal servitude"

The reference to a sentence of penal servitude must be construed as a reference to a sentence of imprisonment: The Criminal Justice Act 1948, section 1(1).

Defence

A registered medical practitioner who terminates a pregnancy in accordance with the provisions of the Abortion Act 1967 does not commit this offence.

Mode of trial

Child destruction is an indictable-only offence.

Sentence

Child destruction is punishable with imprisonment for life or for any shorter term.

Early release of prisoners

Child destruction is an "excluded offence" for the purposes of section 32 of the Criminal Justice Act 1982.

History
Before 1 April 1991, section 5(1) of the Abortion Act 1967 provided that nothing in that Act affected the provisions of the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929. That section was substituted by section 37(4) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.

Incidence
The charge of child destruction is rare. There were ten cases in the ten years to 1987. When a woman who had a backstreet abortion while 7½ months pregnant was given a suspended sentence of 12 months in 2007, the Crown Prosecution Service was unaware of any similar conviction. In 2000, a man stamped on his girlfriend's abdomen and thereby caused her to go into premature labour. Since he had intended to kill the foetus in the womb, whereas in fact the baby died shortly after birth, he was convicted of manslaughter and attempted child destruction.

In 2012, a woman who self-administered an abortion drug when 39 weeks pregnant was convicted of unlawful abortion under the 1861 Act. The sentencing judge remarked that she might equally have been charged with child destruction.

In 2015, Kevin Wilson and an accomplice, who was under eighteen and could not be legally named, were convicted of child destruction and grievous bodily harm after they beat and kicked Wilson's pregnant ex-girlfriend, causing fatal injuries to the foetus.

Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland law, the offence is created by section 25(1) of the Criminal Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 1945.

Sentence

Child destruction is punishable with imprisonment for life or for any shorter term.

Use

The first conviction for this offence was in 2000. The coroner reporting on the 1998 Omagh bombing recommended that the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland should prosecute for two counts of child destruction as well as 29 of murder, as one of the people killed was 34 weeks pregnant with twins.

Australia

Each state and territory of Australia has a separate criminal code.  The offence is called "killing unborn child" and can be committed only around the time of childbirth in Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory. It is called "causing death of child before birth" in Tasmania. In South Australia, it comes under the heading of "abortion". The definition is somewhat broader in the Australian Capital Territory, and comparably broad to English law in Tasmania and South Australia. The offence was abolished in Victoria by the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 (Victoria).

New South Wales does not have a child destruction enactment, but the Crimes Amendment (Grievous Bodily Harm) Act 2005 (NSW) amended the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) so that
s 4(1)(a) now defines "grievous bodily harm" as including "the destruction (other than in the course of a medical procedure) of the foetus of a pregnant woman, whether or not the woman suffers any other harm".

Hong Kong
Child destruction is defined in section 47B of the Offences against the Person Ordinance. A person guilty of child destruction is liable to be punished as though he was guilty of manslaughter. This means that he is liable to imprisonment for life and to pay such fine as the court may award.

Westfield Academy (formerly known as Westfield School) is a secondary school in Yeovil, Somerset, England. The school has 904 students aged between 11 and 16 years. In August 2011, it became an academy.

History
The school was created as a comprehensive school in 1975, following the decision of Somerset County Council to end selective grammar school education in the Yeovil area. The new school was launched with the pupils from the first to fifth forms of Yeovil High School, Yeovil School, and Summerleaze Secondary Modern School, while those in the high schools’ sixth forms were offered and mostly accepted places at the new Yeovil College. Westfield Comprehensive School took over the buildings of the former Yeovil High School for girls and the old Westfield Junior School, which had been located on opposite sides of a large playing field.

In 2010, the children of the Westfield Junior School and the Parcroft Primary School moved to the Summerleaze site of the new Oaklands Community Primary School. In the same year, the school announced plans to provide sports fields on the old Westfield Infants School, which was to be demolished.

In the summer of 2011, the school announced its best ever GCSE exam results, with 79% of the school leavers achieving 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C.  In addition, 56% of the students gained 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C, including English and Maths. These results considerably outstripped the other secondary schools in Yeovil.

In 2012 the School secured just under £60000 of national lottery funding money to be used to update the tennis courts. These courts are now used by the students and outside sporting clubs.

Thirteen ancient towns have been discovered in Saudi Arabia up to the present day. These include Qaryat al-Fāw, the Al-Ukhdūd archeological area, Hegra (Madā'in Ṣālih), Jubbah, Tārūt, Al-Shuwayḥaṭiyah, Thāj, Taimaa and Dūmat Al-Jandal. There are still more ancient towns in Saudi Arabia, but little information is currently available on them. Saudi Arabia occupies a unique and distinctive geographic location, bridging civilizations between continents. In ancient times the Arabian peninsula served as a corridor for trade; therefore it saw the beginning of many civilizations, the relics of which are still evident today. The Saudi government has recently established the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities, which is responsible for the preservation of these cities.

Qaryat al-Fāw

Qaryat al-Fāw (Arabic: قرية الفاو) also appears in the southern text as Qaryat Dhu Kahl, Qaryat al-Hamraa and Dhat al-Jnan. The name derives from its geographical location at a pass through the Ṭuwayq Mountains where it intersects with Wādī al-Dawāsir, overlooking the northwestern edge of the Empty Quarter desert. It is located about  southwest of Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia. Qaryat al-Fāw is considered one of the most important ancient cities in Saudi Arabia, and it was the capital of the Kindah Kingdom from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD, which was one of the ancient Arab kingdoms in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula. The Kindah originally came from Yemen after the demolition of the Ma'rib Dam, which led to the fall of the Kingdom of Saba'. In fact, after the demolition of the Ma'rib dam the kingdom of Saba' was divided into three tribal areas, one of the tribes being the Kindha, which was a part of the Sabaean Kingdom of Ma'rib. The other two tribes were Mundharites, who built their kingdom in southern Iraq, and the Ghassān, whose kingdom was in what is now called Syria. The Kingdom of Kindah is thought by many historians to have been a Bedouin tribal kingdom, unlike other organised kingdoms founded in the Arabian Peninsula.

This city was known as Dhāt Kahl in the South Arabian text, although in the golden age it was called Qaryat al-Hamrā' ("the Red City") and Dhāt al-Jinān ("the City of Gardens"), and today it is known as Qaryat al-Fāw. The city covers an area of approximately three kilometers by one. The ancient city was inhabited for about eight centuries, and during this period the city fought several wars with the Kingdom of Saba' (c. 8th century B.C. to AD 275), and in AD 228, Imru’ al-Qays fought the city. However, the city is not mentioned in any Arab history books apart from Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan al-Hamdānī's book entitled Ṣifat Jazīrat al-'Arab.

The city had an important location, as it was located on a trade route, which had a great impact on the lives of the inhabitants due to their contacts with people from other nations. The archaeological excavations in the city revealed that the city had grown and evolved gradually from the point of the trade route to another important commercial point in the eastern part of the trade route that extends from the south of the Arabian Peninsulas through Najrān across the Gulf and Mesopotamia. It became the economic, religious, cultural and social centre of the central Arabian Peninsula, as well as the capital of the Kindah Kingdom in their first period.

Discovery
Interest in Qaryat al-Fāw as an archaeological site dates back to the 1940s when a reference to it was made by some official workers of the Saudi Aramco oil company. In 1952, three of the company's staff visited the city and wrote about it. In 1996, the village was visited by an expert from the Antiquities and Museums agency. In 1976, it was visited first the History and Antiquities Association of King Saud University in Riyadh and then by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities, both aiming to study the site, and more specifically, to identify the location of the city. The work took place between 1972 and 1995. Archaeological excavations were carried out by a team from King Saud University team, from 1970 to 2003, and uncovered two major sectors of the town. The first was a residential area, consisting of houses, squares, streets and a market place, while the second was a sacred area, consisting of temples and tombs. The general architectural plan is very indicative of ancient towns in Arabia. Abdulrahman al-Ansary, former Professor of Archaeology at King Saud University in Riyadh and a member of Saudi Arabia's Consultative Council and of the Council's Committee on Education is considered as the founder of the rediscovery of the city of Qaryat al-Fāw.

Market Area
Built near the western edge of the valley which separates between the Ṭuwayq Mountains and the city limits east of the residential area was a large market, 30.75 m in length from west to east, and 25.20 m north to south. It was surrounded by a huge fence consisting of three contiguous parts; the middle one was made of limestone and the internal and external ones made of clay. The market consisted of three floors with seven towers in the market's corners and three in the structure in the middle of the north, south and east of the building. The only entrance to the market was located in the southern half of the west side and was a small door leading to a small square.

Literature

The residents of the Qaryat al-Fāw were concerned with writing, and a great deal of literature was found on the slopes of the mountains, in the market, temples, while paintings were found in the city's residential, and tombstones, pottery and other archaeological materials were also found in the city. The language used was a mix of the language of the north and south. They wrote on different topics, including on religious and commercial issues, as well as on subjects related to personal matters, and through their available literature it has been possible to identify some names of people, tribes, gods, as well as to identify the possible existence of the relations between Qaryat al-Fāw and other kingdoms. A vast amount of inscriptions was found in Qaryat al-Fāw.

Temples
Three temples and one altar were found in Qaryat al- Fāw, two in the area to the west of the market, and one outside the market area. In addition, more than one type of cemetery was found in the town, as there were both public and family graveyards.

Current Condition
As of January 1, 2014, the site is completely fenced for protection against looters by the Saudi Government. The site is tended by a Saudi caretaker whose family has ties to the immediate area. The site was authorized and allocated funds for significant improvement, preservation and the construction of a modern visitors center.  Construction was to have been completed by December, 2013, however to date no construction has started.
The site is extremely impressive, with multiple Nobelmans and Warrior class tombs spaced along the Eastern periphery.  The Kings tomb resides somewhat separated and to the North West of the City. The market place shows significant erosion of the walls, which have buried almost an entire story of the once 3 or 4 level artifice. Remnants of grain storage and baking ovens can still be seen today.
Located East of the city lies a large jebel, with significant caves and petroglyphs.

Al-Ukhdūd Archeological Area

Al-Ukhdūd (), formerly known as Raqmat (), is located in the south of Saudi Arabia in Bir Hima/Najrān region, about  to the south of Riyadh. Exploration of the city was begun around 1997 by group of Saudi historians. Since then, many antiques have been found, and the greatest discovery in the town was of the place where the ruler of Himyarite Kingdom punished the Christian community in the town by throwing them into ditches of fire, which are called Ukhdūd in Arabic. According to the experts, the city was built between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. The story of these people is mentioned in the Quran, in the sura al-Burūj.

Madā'in Sālih

Madā'in Ṣāliḥ or Hegra (Arabic: الحِجر), also called Al-Ḥijr, is an ancient city located in the northern part of the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia, about  to the north of Riyadh. Madā'in Ṣāliḥ is considered to be one of the most important and oldest ancient cities in the country. Madā'in Ṣāliḥ lies to the northwest of the city of Al-'Ula, in a strategic position on one of the most important ancient trade routes, which linked the south of the Arabian peninsula to the north, as well as to the great economic and cultural centres of Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt. It was the second-largest city in the kingdom of the Nabateans. The Nabateans were a group of Arab tribes whose economy was based on pastoralism, and over time they settled, created and developed several cities and become traders. The Nabataeans occupied a territory in the south of the area of Ash-Shām where they founded the Nabataeans; their capital was Petra in Jordan, which was chosen as one of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. Their language was a form of old northern Arabic. The landscape of Madā'in Ṣāliḥ is characterized by impressive rock formations, sandstone hills of varied colours, from red to yellow and white. The area of Madā'in Ṣāliḥ covered by the site is about . The tombs are distributed in groups of various importance, as follows:

Qaṣr al-Ṣāni' () is the first group of tombs and occupies two sandstone hills in the southern part of the site. The western hill contains only one large tomb, called Qaṣr al-Ṣāni', while the second one contains six small undated funerary chambers.
The tombs of the residential area: this group of monuments lies in the south of the residential area. It comprises two sandstone hills, one small and one large. The large one contains eighteen tombs.
Qaṣr al-Farid is located in the southwest of the site. It was given its name as it was completely isolated from the other tombs.
Qaṣr al-Bint (): this group of tombs lies west of Jabal Ithib. It comprises two sandstone hills, one containing twenty-nine tombs and the second, two tombs.
Jibal Athilb (): The name is a toponym referring to two mountain ranges which dominate the site from the northeast.
Jabal al-Maḥjar (): this group of tombs is located to the northwest of the complex of Qaṣr al-Bint and occupies three elongated sandstone hills, one of which is called the Jabal al-Maḥjar. This area contains fourteen tombs.
Khaymāt (): this group of tombs is located to the west of the Ḥijāz railway. It contains fifty-three tombs.
The residential area (): is located in the plain which lies in the middle of the site.

Madā'in Ṣāliḥ was recognized by UNESCO as a site of patrimony, the first world heritage site in Saudi Arabia. The story of these people called the people of Thamūd (including Petra) is mentioned several times in the Quran along with prophet Ṣāliḥ.

Jubbah
Jabbah () is located in the Ḥā'il Province about  north of Riyadh. The city was built around 3000 years ago.

Tārūt

Tārūt Island () is the second largest island in the Persian Gulf located off the city of Qaṭīf. The name is said to be derived from that of the goddess of love and war, a Phoenician and Canaanite goddess Astārūt. Tarut is known for its historical landmarks, such as the Tārūt Castle.

Al-Shuwayḥaṭiyah
Al-Shuwayḥaṭiyah () is located in the north of Saudi Arabia about  north of Riyadh in the Al-Jawf region.

Thāj

 (; ) () is located in the northwest of the Eastern Province, about  northeast of Riyadh. The majority of historians believe that the city of Thāj was built in the period of the Greeks, after the conquest of Alexander in 330 B.C.

Hyde Park High School was a four-year public high school that served students in ninth through twelfth grades in the Boston neighborhood of Hyde Park, Massachusetts, United States. The school held its first classes in 1869, one year after the founding of the town of Hyde Park. The school was located at 655 Metropolitan Avenue from 1928 until its closure in 2005.

History

Founding and development
Hyde Park High School was established in 1869, in what was then the independent town of Hyde Park, Massachusetts. In its early years, the school offered two courses of study for pupils, a four year classical preparatory education, and a two year business training course. Hyde Park was annexed by the City of Boston in 1912, and the administration of Hyde Park High School was assumed by Boston Public Schools (BPS). Male and female pupils were taught separately until senior year, at which time the studies became co-educational. Into the 1960s, the school was a popular choice for parents and students, even for those outside of the neighborhood, evidenced by the population increase at the school from 1,236 pupils enrolled in 1960 to 1,700 students in 1967. The headmaster reported a waiting list of 250 at that time.

Challenging times
Racial tensions began to haunt the school, starting in 1970. The African–American population at the school in the early 1970s stood at 15%. On January 19, 1970, a dispute between groups of black and white youths at a bus stop resulted in a knifing incident, with two white pupils being slashed, and a black student arrested for assault. Faculty arriving on January 21 to school found that anti–black graffiti had been spray–painted on the front steps of the building. Half of the 1700 student population was absent following the incident.

Starting in the fall of 1974, court ordered desegregation was implemented, more than doubling the population of black students. On September 19, racial violence cut classes short. Rocks were thrown at departing school buses. On October 15, a 15 year old white student was stabbed during a melee in the school’s main corridor, and at least six other students and one teacher went to the hospital. Students recall being locked in their classrooms. An 18 year old black youth from Dorchester was ultimately arrested in the stabbing.

On account of the many occurrences of violence in the school and immediate area, the Boston Police Department’s Tactical Police Force were deployed to the neighborhood. Governor Francis Sargent summoned 450 members of the National Guard, over the objection of Mayor Kevin White. Sargent also made a request to President Gerald Ford to send federal troops to Boston to quell racial violence in the city, which was denied. BPS installed a magnetometer, borrowed from United Airlines, to scan all students coming into school.

Later years
Court ordered busing and the ensuing racial strife left a lasting impact on the school. Once described as a "country club" by its headmaster, by the 1980s and continuing into the 90s, the school was fraught with claims of racism, violence among students, a consistent underperformer threatened with loss of accreditation, and a frequent target for closure.

Another Course to College was temporarily relocated and held classes in the basement of Hyde Park High School from 1989 until 1993.

Closure and structure change
Hyde Park High School ceased to exist following the 2004–05 school year. BPS Superintendent Thomas Payzant implemented a plan to create smaller schools within the Hyde Park High School and other neighborhood schools with the hope to improve education and attendance, prevent dropping out, and to give top students more rigorous assignments. The facility was renamed the Hyde Park Education Complex, and smaller autonomous schools and academic programs were created, each with a focused theme. The following are a list of schools and programs housed in the building since Hyde Park High School's closing.

Beginning in the 2005–2006 school year, the following schools opened in the facility:
 Community Academy of Science & Health
 The Engineering School
 Social Justice Academy

At the end of the 2010–2011 school year, The Engineering School and the Social Justice Academy were closed. The Community Academy of Science & Health was relocated to Dorchester, leaving the building empty for the first time in 82 years.

Starting in the 2012–2013 school year, the following schools were moved into the building:
 Boston Community Leadership Academy
 New Mission High School

Starting in the 2020-2021 school year, The Building will be home to one school, New Mission High School. This is the first time the Building occupied one school since 2005.

In media
In his television series Free to Choose, economist Milton Friedman used the school as an example of the failure of the public school system; highlighting the schools use of metal detectors, uniformed police and the state of the facilities.

Locations
The school was housed in several locations from its opening until 1902 when the selectmen dedicated a four-floor school building located at Everett Street and Harvard Avenue. Hyde Park High remained at the location until it was decided that a new, larger building was needed to house the school's growing population. Officials decided on a triangular site between Metropolitan Avenue and Harvard Avenue, the two story, $1,286,000 building being completed in 1928. The prior 1902 building then became the William Barton Rogers Middle School (since closed).
 (1869–1870) 85 Williams Avenue (Fairmount School)
 (1870–1871) 1207 River Street (Liberty Hall)
 (1871–1874/1901–1902) Henry Grew School
 (1874–1901) Everett School
 (1902–1928) 15 Everett Street
 (1928–2006) 655 Metropolitan Avenue

The current Hyde Park Educational Complex is accessible by taking the MBTA bus 32 from nearby Forest Hills.

Carroll Dudley Kendall (August 9, 1890 – September 20, 1975), was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played in various professional and amateur leagues, including the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) and National Hockey Association (NHA).  Amongst the teams he played with were the Vancouver Millionaires, Montreal Wanderers and Ottawa Senators.

He died in 1975.

Career
Kendall came up through the ranks of the Ottawa New Edinburghs and played for the club in the Ottawa City Hockey League and the Interprovincial Amateur Hockey Union between 1910–1912.

In 1912 he went west to play for the Vancouver Millionaires in the Pacific Coast Hockey Aassociation. During the 1912–13 PCHA season he finished tied second in goal scoring in the PCHA with 14 goals in 14 games.

Prior to the 1913–14 season Kendall was involved in a trade carousel with Ottawa Senators player Skene Ronan. Vancouver Millionaires manager Frank Patrick first traded Kendall to the Senators in exchange for Ronan, but Ronan refused to report to Vancouver and was suspended from playing in the upcoming season. Patrick then instead sold Kendall's rights to the Montreal Wanderers which meant that Ronan reverted back to the Ottawa Senators.

In 1915–16 he was a hold-out and did not play for the Montreal Wanderers, and in 1916–17 he instead signed with the Ottawa Senators.

Traian Stoianovich (20 July 1921 – December 21, 2005) was an American historian and a professor of history at Rutgers University. He specialized in the history of the Balkans.

Biography
Born Trajan Stojanović () in Gradešnica, then part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (now part of North Macedonia), his family moved to Rochester, New York, where he was brought up.  At a time when it was difficult for working-class people and immigrants to achieve higher education, he earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester. After serving in the United States Army during World War II (1942–45), he took a master's degree at New York University and received a doctorate from Université de Paris in 1952, where he became a major figure in the internationally influential Annales School of history. His doctoral mentor was Fernand Braudel.

Stoianovich was for four decades a teacher of European and world history at Rutgers University. He has also taught at New York University, University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, and Sir George Williams University (renamed Concordia University) in Montreal, Canada. He taught at the University of Thessaloniki, Greece, 1958-1959, on a Fulbright grant.

He applied his education to the study of the Balkans, publishing "A Study of Balkan Civilization" (1967) which is regarded as both a classic and a major educational text. After his retirement he published a four volume collection of articles and essays, "Between East and West, the Balkan and Mediterranean Worlds" (1992–1995) and also "Balkan Worlds: The First and Last Europe" (1994) rich in its insights and understanding for both the Balkans and European civilization. Many of his works were translated into Serbian and published in the former Yugoslavia, as well as other major languages.

Dr. Norman Markowitz, JRI Director, Professor of History, Rutgers University, remembers him well:

He was a member of the Jasenovac Research Institute's Advisory Board. He continued to work as a scholar right up to his death on December 21, 2005 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, after a long struggle with cancer.

Family
Traian Stoianovich was married to French painter Marcelle Stoianovich, active mostly in Paris. His daughter Diana Stoianovich married in 1986 to Charles H. Revson Jr., heir of Charles Revson and they have two sons, Charles H. Revson III and Alexander Traian Revson. His son Christian Stoianovich is a screenwriter.

John Thomas (22 October 1736 – 27 March 1769) was a Welsh Anglican priest and antiquarian.

Life
Thomas was born in Ynyscynhaearn, Caernarfonshire, in north Wales, on 22 October 1736. After studying at the Friars School in Bangor, he went to the University of Oxford, matriculating as a member of Jesus College in 1755.  He was ordained in 1760 and became a curate in Holyhead, Anglesey. He did so after spending some time as the under-keeper of the museum in Oxford before finding that his wages were inadequate to match his drinking.  In 1761, Thomas became usher at his old school, Friars, thereby also becoming curate of Llandygai.  In 1766, he was appointed as deputy to the master of Beaumaris grammar school, with curacies in Llansadwrn and Llandegfan.  He died on 27 March 1769 and was buried in Llandegfan.

Thomas was well respected by his contemporaries as a scholar of Welsh and as an antiquarian.  He copied old Welsh language manuscripts, but his collection was dispersed after the death of his brother (Richard Thomas) who inherited them.  He was the author of the anonymously-written History of the Island of Anglesey (1775).  His genealogical account of the Penrhyn and Cochwillan families was used by William Williams in his 1802 Observations on the Snowdon Mountains.

Frederick Plaut (1907–1985) was a recording engineer and amateur photographer. He was employed by Columbia Records in the US during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, eventually becoming the label's chief engineer. Plaut engineered sessions for what would result in many of Columbia's famous albums, including the original cast recordings of South Pacific, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story, jazz LPs Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis, Time Out by Dave Brubeck, Mingus Ah Um and Mingus Dynasty by Charles Mingus.

Early life
Frederick ("Fred") Plaut was born in Munich, Germany, on May 12, 1907. He graduated from the Technical University Munich with a degree in electrical engineering. From 1933 to 1940, Plaut lived in Paris, where he founded and operated his own recording studio. At the same time, he worked as a consulting engineer for Polydor Records, where he designed and built a complete recording installation.

In Paris, Fred Plaut met his future wife, Rose Kanter, a Polish-American soprano pursuing vocal studies in France. They were married on September 24, 1938. She performed in France, England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy, returning to the United States in June 1940, just as Paris was falling into Nazi hands. She continued her singing career in the United States under the name Rose Dercourt, making her American debut at Town Hall in April 1944. She was a close friend of Francis Poulenc, who dedicated some of his songs to her and maintained a steady correspondence with her until his death in 1963.

Engineer for Columbia Records
Fred Plaut came to the United States in January 1940 and in April of that same year began his career as a recording engineer with Columbia Records. He recorded the majority of the Columbia Masterworks series and many sessions of the Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Louisville, and New York orchestras. He recorded almost all of the cast albums of Broadway shows, operas, and dramatic plays for Columbia and other labels. Plaut also recorded many chamber music and solo performances, as well as popular and jazz sessions. His work took place in the Columbia recording studios and on location at such events as the Newport Jazz Festival and the Marlboro Festival. He received five Grammy Awards and six nominations for engineering.

While still with Columbia Records, Plaut gave several extension courses in The Art of Recording for the Manhattan School of Music. After his retirement from Columbia in 1972, Plaut joined the staff of the Yale School of Music as consultant and Senior Recording Engineer and in 1977 began teaching classes in the Art of Recording. In 1975, Plaut taught Music in Modern Media at Columbia University.

Photography
Plaut's second career was as a photographer. His work as a recording engineer for Columbia Records allowed him many opportunities to photograph recording artists in the studios and on location while they were relaxing, performing, or listening to playback of recording sessions. The result is thousands of candid portraits of the great conductors, orchestras, soloists, chamber players, popular and jazz musicians, actors, and writers. Some of these artists include Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, the Budapest String Quartet, Pablo Casals, Aaron Copland, Zino Francescatti, Glenn Gould, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, the Juilliard String Quartet, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Eugene Ormandy, Richard Rodgers, Alexander Schneider, Rudolf Serkin, Isaac Stern, Igor Stravinsky, George Szell, Joseph Szigeti, Edgard Varèse, and Bruno Walter.

Fred and Rose Plaut were in the mainstream of New York City's musical life. They frequently attended or hosted dinner parties. The Plaut penthouse received such guests as Ned Rorem, Virgil Thomson, Henri Sauguet, Carlos Surinach, Igor Stravinsky, George Balanchine, Edgard Varèse, and Vittorio Rieti. These social occasions also allowed Plaut to take many candid photographs.

Fred Plaut also took many candid photographs on his frequent vacations with Rose to such countries as France, Italy, Spain, India, Mexico, and Israel. These photos included not only typical tourist's pictures, but also the famous personalities they encountered. The travel photos include candid portraits of Francis Poulenc, Pierre Bernac, Alberto Moravia, Pablo Picasso, Eugene Berman, and Janet Flanner

Plaut also had opportunities to take posed portraits of artists for publicity purposes. His photos have been used for brochures, flyers, posters, and concert programs by the Juilliard String Quartet, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, the Albaneri Trio, Bethany Beardslee, Lehman Engel, and Ettore Stratta.

Plaut's photographs have been exhibited at several museums, including seven exhibits at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and have appeared in numerous major American and foreign magazines. Many book illustrations, book covers, and some eighty record album covers are to his credit. In a departure from his music imagery, it was his charming photograph of a stout Frenchman in slippers playing draughts on a street bench against an opponent who is a young girl that was chosen by Edward Steichen for The Family of Man who curated the record-breaking MoMA show in 1955 which toured the world to be seen by 9 million visitors.  A selection of Plaut photographs was published as "The Unguarded Moment: A Photographic Interpretation" (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, c1964). This contains over one hundred of his finest portraits, as well as short biographical sketches of the subjects.

Halshany or Holszany Castle (, , ) is the ruined residence of the Sapieha magnate family in Halshany, Hrodna Voblast, Belarus. It used to be the seat of one of the largest land estates in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The current structure was built about 1610 by Paweł Stefan Sapieha to replace an older castle of the Holszanski princely family, of whom Sapiehas were descendants and heirs.

Also known as the Black Castle (although it is built of red brick), the residence formerly rivaled Mir Castle as the most elegant private château of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The name Black Castle in fact originally applies to a fictional building from a book by Uladzimir Karatkievich, which was loosely based on Halshany Castle.

The castle and the surrounding estates were devastated, robbed and looted, twice:  by the invading Swedes troops  during the Deluge (history) and during the Great Northern War in 1704.  Due to financial stress experienced by the Sapiehas in the wake of the Domestic War and ongoing Great Northern War, the castle had never been fully restored.

Later during the 18th century the castle with its estate diminished by creditors passed to the Żaba family, to be sold to the Korsak family with the estate further diminished by the creditors. The last Polish landlords. the Korsaks, sold, in the last quarter of the 19th century, the castle to a Russian landlord, Gorbanyov, who  had the castles' towers pulled down in 1880, but in 1880s, according to the Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland,  there were still 2 floors occupied with some of the wall paintings visible.

In 2018 the government-funded restoration of the northern tower started.

An annual tournament is held near its walls each summer.

Gabriel de Luetz, Baron et Seigneur d'Aramon et de Vallabregues (died 1553), often also abbreviated to Gabriel d'Aramon, was the French Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1546 to 1553, in the service first of Francis I, who dispatched him to the Ottoman Empire, and then of the French king Henry II. Gabriel de Luetz was accompanied by a vast suite of scientists, Jean de Monluc, philosopher Guillaume Postel, botanist Pierre Belon, naturalist Pierre Gilles d'Albi, the future cosmographer André Thévet, traveler Nicolas de Nicolay who would publish their findings upon their return to France and contribute greatly to the development of early science in France.

Ottoman Safavid War
In 1547, he accompanied Suleiman the Magnificent in the Ottoman–Safavid War (1532–55), with two of his secretaries, Jacques Gassut and Jean Chesneau, and is recorded as having given advice to the Sultan on some aspects of the campaign. Chesneau wrote Le Voyage de Monsieur d'Aramon dans le Levant, an interesting account of the travels of Gabriel de Luetz.

Siege of Tripoli
In 1551, Gabriel de Luetz joined the Ottoman fleet to attend to the Siege of Tripoli, with two galleys and a galliot.

Calabrian Raid
Gabriel de Luetz is also known to have convinced Suleiman to send a fleet against Charles V, for a combined Franco-Turkish action in 1552. In July 1552, the fleet raided Rhegium in Calabria, laying waste to 30 miles of coast, with Gabriel de Luetz onboard who reported the devastation in a dispatch to the king of France on 22 July:

Gabriel de Luetz was succeeded by Michel de Codignac as ambassador to the Sublime Porte, who himself was succeeded by Jean Cavenac de la Vigne.

Representation in fiction
Gabriel de Luetz (as M. d'Aramon, Baron de Luetz) plays a small but significant role in the books The Disorderly Knights and  Pawn in Frankincense, volumes three and four of the historical fiction series known as the Lymond Chronicles, by Dorothy Dunnett. The Disorderly Knights is partly set in Malta among the. Knights Hospitaller of St. John and on Tripoli at the time of that city's surrender to the Ottoman Turks in 1551. Pawn in Frankincense is partly set in Constantinople and Pera in 1553.

Richard Thomas (10 December 1753 – 1780) was a Welsh Anglican priest and antiquarian.

Life
Thomas, who was the younger brother of the priest and antiquarian John Thomas, was born on 10 December 1753 in Ynyscynhaearn, Caernarfonshire, north Wales.  Like his elder brother, he studied at the Friars School and Jesus College, Oxford before being ordained. His brother John died in 1769, bequeathing him his collection of manuscripts; the manuscripts were used by the editors of the Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales.  Some of his genealogical manuscripts were sold to the College of Heralds.

Thomas obtained his BA degree in 1775 and was curate in Llanegryn, Merionethshire, in late 1777, where he was also the schoolmaster.  From there, he was able to reach the library at Peniarth, which contained a number of important manuscripts; he said in a letter to the antiquarian Owen Jones in 1778 that he had been asked to make a catalogue of the contents of the library.  He died in 1780 in Ruthin, having been the curate there since at least 1779.

Blockhouse is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Lunenburg Municipal District in Lunenburg County. It was named after the blockhouses constructed by Captain Ephraim Cook to protect colonists following a raid in 1756. The final blockhouse in the community burned down in 1874.

Blockhouse is home to the oldest Waldorf-focused school in the Atlantic provinces. An independent school, it is based on theoretical foundations laid down by Rudolf Steiner and adheres to the principle that any child desiring a Steiner education (referred to as Waldorf education in North America) should receive one. It offers K-9 education and is linked to the Waldorf-inspired Lunenburg
County Independent High School, in Mahone Bay.

A sustainability project was launched in Blockhouse in 2012: This was a non-profit, sustainability and community integration project. Working under the conditions of a lease granted by Lunenburg County Council, volunteers worked to show how an abandoned 16,000 sq foot municipal building could be transformed into a community hub: creating recreation space for families, working towards a community kitchen, presenting traditional methods in growing and preserving foods, incubating small, local businesses and dedicated to permaculture ideals and processes.  Work occurred with straw baling, earthen plasters, use of surplus books in walls and floors for insulation, and experiments with solar showers.  This was visionary project that had gained members across Canada and attention from around the world. It also received antagonism from immediate neighbors, was unable to maintain or increase its local support and folded in 2015.  The land has been privately purchased and the future of the site is not commonly known.

Blockhouse is home to the Hinchinbrook Farm Society. This is a non-profit charitable organization and provides programs in therapeutic riding and Horse Boy Methods.  Year-round equine assisted learning and activities for children with disabilities or on the autistic spectrum.

History
During the French and Indian War, a British and their native allies fought against the French, Acadians and Mi'kmaq. Following the 1756 raid on Lunenburg, Governor Lawrence sought to protect the area by establishing blockhouses at the LaHave River, Mush-a-Mush (present day Mahone Bay) and at the Northwest Range (present day Blockhouse, Nova Scotia). Despite the protection of these blockhouses, the Mi'kmaq and Acadians continued raiding the area, executing eight such raids over the next three years. A total of 32 people from Lunenburg were killed in the raids with more being taken prisoner.

There were two Mi'kmaq raids on Blockhouse in 1758. In March there was a raid on the Lunenburg Peninsula at the Northwest Range (present-day Blockhouse, Nova Scotia) when five people were killed from the Ochs and Roder families. The second raid was on 11 September and a child was killed on the Northwest Range. Mi'kmaq casualties are unrecorded, as are events leading up to the raids.

County of Santa Clara v. California First Amendment Coalition, 170 Cal. App. 4th 1301 (2009), was a case before the California Courts of Appeal dealing with the ability of a local California agency to limit the disclosure of, or require license agreements for, public records and data requested under the California Public Records Act (CPRA).

The court found that as public records, there was "no statutory basis either for copyrighting the GIS basemap or for conditioning its release on a licensing agreement" under United States copyright law because state freedom of information laws preclude a state agency’s reliance on federal copyright unless state law specifically permits it.

History
The case dealt with a public records request by the California First Amendment Coalition for GIS "basemap" data held by Santa Clara County, California. The trial court concluded that the county must release the records and could not place any restrictions on their use. The county then appealed to the California Courts of Appeal, which upheld the lower court's decision, and published its opinion. The county also unsuccessfully attempted to have the opinion depublished by the Supreme Court of California.

The county made three arguments. The county claimed the records were "protected critical infrastructure information" and exempted from release by the federal Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002, that disclosure was exempted under the CPRA under the "catch all" exemption, and that it had a federal copyright in the basemap, arguing that copyright protection authorized the county to condition release of records, under freedom of information laws like the CPRA, with restrictions on the requester’s use of the records or sharing of the records with others.

Decision
The court rejected each of the county's arguments:

 The court rejected that the records were exempted from release as "protected critical infrastructure information" under the Critical Infrastructure Information Act, as the county was only the provider of such resources, not the receiver, and hence the CII was irrelevant.
 The court rejected the CPRA "catch all" exemption claim, concluding that the "public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure.”
 The court stated that as "a matter of first impression in California" there is "no statutory basis either for copyrighting the GIS basemap or for conditioning its release on a licensing agreement" and  order that the "record thus must be disclosed as provided in the CPRA, without any such conditions or limitations" and ruled that it considered the general case of "interplay between copyright law and California's public records law, with the result that unrestricted disclosure is required".

The Wigger (formerly also called Wiggeren) is a river in the Swiss cantons of Lucerne and Aargau. It is an important tributary of the river Aare. The Wigger is around 41 kilometers long and flows from south to north for most of its length. The largest city in the Wigger valley is Zofingen.

The river rises from the north slope of the Napf in the canton of Lucerne near the border to the canton of Berne in a height of about 1300 meters. There it is called Enziwigger. It flows through a narrow valley towards Hergiswil bei Willisau where the valley widens and flattens. Shortly after the small city of Willisau it joins with the Buchwigger and is called just Wigger from there. The valley widens further to a flat and broad plain. North of Dagmersellen the Wigger is mostly restricted to a canal bed and flows partially parallel to the A2 motorway. Between Reiden and Brittnau it crosses the border to Aargau. It flows into the Aar between Rothrist and Aarburg at a height of 395 meters.

Tributaries of the Wigger are the Seewag, the Wanger-Rot, the Ron, the Luthern and the Hürnbach.

In 1821 the Wigger's course was corrected (channelized) by order of the government of the canton of Aargau. Until the second half of the 19th century the area of the Wigger's confluence with the Aar was a location of placer mining for gold, but this stopped due to dissatisfactory yield.

An Awfully Beastly Business is a series of fantasy books for children published between 2008 and 2011. Written collaboratively by David Sinden, Matthew Morgan, and Guy Macdonald and illustrated by Jonny Duddle, the series follows the adventures a werewolf named Ulf. He and many other endangered beasts live under the protection of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Beasts (RSPCB), a society founded by the late Professor Farraway. Ulf is an RSPCB apprentice who works with his companions the giant Orson, the fairy Tiana, and the veterinarian Dr. Fielding to prevent the antagonist poachers from capturing the beasts.

Background
Simon & Schuster released the first two books in the series, Werewolf versus Dragon and Sea Monsters and Other Delicacies, on July 7, 2008. By 2009, the books had been translated into 20 languages. Sinden, Morgan, and Macdonald had attended The Judd School where they first got to know each other. They gathered in multiple places to write the books such as at the Cornish coast, in a caravan parked in Sinden's garden, and the St Julians club in Sevenoaks.
The authors drew on Knole Park to portray the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Beasts' headquarters. The Morning Call found An Awfully Beastly Business to be "a fantastic series for children ages 8-12".

Books
 (Book 1) Werewolf versus Dragon (2008)
 (Book 2) Sea Monsters and Other Delicacies (2008)
 (Book 3) Bang Goes a Troll (2009)
 (Book 4) The Jungle Vampire (2009)

The Sunday Mail called Werewolf versus Dragon "a gripping adventure story". Regarding the first two books in the series, Kirkus Reviews said, "Fans of Philip Ardagh's yarns or Cressida Cowell's dragon tales will happily sink their claws into these." Of Sea Monsters and Other Delicacies, Walter Minkel wrote in School Library Journal, "This volume is very much like the first, including the shallow characters and predictable plot. The idea behind the series--a nature preserve for fantastic beasts--is intriguing, but it is not well carried out." Shoshanna Flax of The Horn Book Magazine commented on Bang Goes a Troll, "Pen-and-ink drawings effectively combine the humorous with the sinister."

Sunday Mail book reviewer Vicky Edwards said of The Jungle Vampire, "Expect the unexpected. It's a great read." The Horn Book Magazines Shoshanna Flax stated about The Jungle Empire, "As usual, the series balances dark situations with absurdity. Angular pen-and-ink illustrations play up the story's humor." In a review of the audiobook version of The Jungle Empire, Amy Olson wrote in the School Library Journal, "Gerard Doyle's vocal talents and character depiction enhance the tale, helping to maintain the intensity and mystery of the story throughout. A good choice for fantasy fans and youngsters with short attention spans."
