The House at 18 Walnut Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts is one of two modest yet remarkably high Shingle Style houses on Walnut Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It was built c. 1898 by George Wells, president of the locally important American Optical Company, apparently to provide worker housing for company employees.  Of the two houses Wells had built, this one is the best preserved.  It has a slate gambrel roof with projecting sections.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.  Its original shingle siding has been replaced, as has the diamond-lighted bay window projecting from the front gable end.

Female genital disease is a disorder of the structure or function of the female reproductive system that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes. The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. Female genital diseases can be classified by affected location or by type of disease, such as malformation, inflammation, or infection.

Diagnosis
Female genital diseases are usually diagnosed by healthcare personnel in a healthcare setting. Diagnosis may be made using laboratory tests, physical examinations, and/or clinical signs and symptoms.

Barriers to diagnosis
Historically, discussions surrounding feminine reproductive and sexual health have been subject to social stigma within Western society. Women in Western society may avoid discussing problems relating to the female reproductive system, including problems related to female sexual health, with their healthcare providers. As a result, diagnosis of female genital diseases may be delayed or missed. Social determinants of health including economic and logistical burden of seeking healthcare may also interfere with timely diagnosis of female genital disease.

Gender considerations
Individuals who have female genitals and/or reproductive organs but who do not identify as women may experience additional difficulties in seeking diagnosis of female genital diseases. Societal discrimination, gender dysphoria, and insufficient transgender healthcare education are some reasons that transgender individuals may be unable to obtain medical care for female genital diseases.

Women's history in clinical trials
Medical professionals use a variety of resources that assist them in creating clinical decisions in providing care to the population, with one of the more utilized sources are known as clinical trials. Clinical trials are used to analyze the efficacy and safety of medications, medical intervention, and medical procedures. Historically, women representation in clinical trials has been suboptimal, oftentimes being excluded from trials due to "potential maternal-fetal liability", "have less experience, and are more costly to engage". However, through limiting the number of women eligible for various stages of these trials, outcomes and the burden of disease have been underrepresented in females, either underreported or not adjusted for. For example, due to the fact that women have different drug efficacies and safety profiles to men, it is estimated "in 2005 that 8 out of 10 prescription drugs were withdrawn from the US market because of women's heath issue". Clinical trials that focused on preventative care, such as screenings, diagnostics, and health services in have an adjusted relative difference of 8.48% in female enrollment. Fortunately, over the years we have seen a rise in women participants, with an average of 60.0% females enrolled in clinical trials in 2018, up 18.9% from the lowest year of participants, in 2002, with a median of 41.1%.

Therefore, as we diminish the number of women who are a part of clinical trials, then guidelines that are used by medical professional stem majority from male subjects; this can then led into a variety of other factors to consider when making medical decisions towards women in the acute inpatient or chronic ambulatory care setting such as social and financial difference that can impact the care women receive. Importantly so, we decrease the number of studies that are geared towards women's reproductive issues, such as genital disease. In efforts to encourage women to participate in clinical research, the National Institute of Health (NIH) launched the women's health initiative in 1991 that focuses clinical trials and observational studies on post-menopausal women over a 15 year period of time. Additionally, by broadening what "women's health" encompasses, including not only reproductive and genital health, childbearing, and menstruation but also osteoporosis, breast cancer, and other disease states where women bear higher burden than men, the NIH can focus funding on these conditions.

Perception
In society, having a disease related to a person’s genitalia continues to be a stigma today.  The stigma comes with shame and embarrassment that is not only internalized, but also emphasized by others through loss of support and discrimination.  Some of that shame is rooted in spirituality and societal perception.  In a study done in Lagos, Nigeria regarding uterine fibroids, majority of the women who participated in the study (67.0%) “perceived [uterine] fibroids as a spiritual problem” and believe that the best course of treatment is done spiritually through places of worship such as churches and mosques.  The majority of women who participated in the study knew that uterine fibroids existed and were associated with obesity.  In both developed and developing countries, individuals with female genital diseases experience shame through perception of these diseases by healthcare providers and the general public. In a multisite study in the United States focusing on English and Spanish speaking women regarding perception, knowledge, and experiences with vaginal prolapse, these women had feelings of shame regarding their condition since they blamed themselves for their condition and felt that their condition was “unnatural or less like a woman”.  One woman mentioned that they were humiliated by a physician for their condition.  Given the stigma regarding genital diseases, a common theme from the participants was that they did not know that vaginal prolapse can occur in women.  Another study in India was done where researchers called people recently diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections regarding the stigma towards their condition.  Researchers found that 49 out of 487 people wanted to participate in their study, which they inferred was related to the "shame and stigma in the Indian population".

Classification by type of disease

Malformation
Malformations can be congenital.  They are classified by location of the malformation, such as uterine malformation.

Inflammation or infection
An example is oophoritis.

Classification by location

Diseases of the vulva

Bartholin's cyst
A Bartholin's cyst is an abscess of a Bartholin's gland. Bartholin's glands are located within the labia, or the skin folds surrounding the vaginal opening. Bartholin's cysts can be painful and may require drainage or surgical removal in order to resolve.

Vulvodynia
Vulvodynia is a chronic pain condition which involves the sensation of pain in the area surrounding the vaginal opening in response to physical stimulation such as vaginal penetration. This condition can be distressing to people who have it as it can interfere with intimacy. There is no standardized treatment for vulvodynia, but some options include pelvic floor physical therapy and pharmacologic pain management.

Disease of the Vagina

Vaginal prolapse
Vaginal prolapse, otherwise known as pelvic organ prolapse, is when a person’s vagina descends due to pelvic organ pressure or due to tissue injury and/or muscle weakness.  Some of the risk factors include previous pelvic surgeries as well as activities and conditions that increase intrabdominal pressure such as childbirth, obesity, and older age.  Symptoms of vaginal prolapse are vaginal bulge, urinary and fecal incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.  Treatment for vaginal prolapse can be either conservative or surgical according to Kapoor et. al.  Some of the conservative treatments include Kegel exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor and pessaries which aim to put the vagina in a normal position. Surgical treatment options include colpocleisis, vaginal reconstruction, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Colpocleisis is a obliterative procedure that would remove the possibility of vaginal intercourse. Therefore, a person's desire to get pregnant is considered when deciding treatment for this condition.

Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a condition that occurs when there is an overgrowth of normal bacteria in the vagina. The community of bacteria that normally exists in the vagina is called the vaginal flora. The flora serves as a defense against the invasion and colonization of opportunistic pathogens including bacterial vaginosis, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Historically, it was believed that the bacterium Gardnerella caused bacterial vaginosis, but studies have shown that bacterial vaginosis can be caused by a variety of bacteria. Women are at an increased risk of having bacterial vaginosis if they smoke cigarettes, recently used antibiotics, use an intrauterine device, have multiple sexual partners, and practice vaginal douching.

Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis, also known as "trich", is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a protozoan parasite called trichomonas vaginalis. It is the most common protozoal infection in the United States. This motile organism is not exclusive to women, but can also be found in the prostate and urethra of men. Individuals are at an increased risk of contracting trich if they have a history of sexually transmitted infections, have new or multiple sex partners, abuse IV drugs, and do not use any type of protection during sex.

Disease of the cervix

Cervicitis
Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix in individuals with a uterus, most commonly identified in those presenting as women. While some patients report pus and mucus like discharge, a majority of individuals with this condition do not present with any symptoms. Less than half of the cases of cervicitis are linked to either Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis, likely sexually transmitted. However, more than half have unknown infectious etiology. Complications can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, difficulties bearing pregnancy, and endometriosis. Due to these adverse outcomes, the CDC recommends that women undergo routine nucleic acid amplification technique (NAAT) testing, which can aid in the detection of chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Diseases of the uterus

Uterine malformation
Uterine malformations are sometimes referred to as congenital uterine anomalies. A uterine malformation is an abnormality in the development of a person's uterus. This condition can result in fertility problems such as increased risk of miscarriage.

Uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are solid growths of noncancerous smooth muscle cells that are located on the uterus.  There is no cause, but risk factors such as family history, reproductive issues, hormones, and viruses are associated with fibroid growth.  Previous research suggested an association between diet and hormonal changes that has the potential to form fibroids and give them the environment to grow.  Despite other research contradicting this statement, further research stated that low fruit and vegetable intake as well as Vitamin D insufficiency and food contaminants have been correlated to fibroid formation and growth.  In most cases, uterine fibroids are asymptomatic and therefore will not need treatment.  Giuliani et. al found that asymptomatic uterine fibroids are present in 70% of individuals who were diagnosed with it, suggesting that it plays a role in epidemiologic studies underestimating its prevalence.  Uterine fibroids are treated if the person is experiencing symptoms such as anemia, infertility, and pelvic and back pain.  These treatments aim to decrease the uterine fibroid size, prevent their growth, and improve symptoms the person deals with.  Treatments that are currently being used to treat uterine fibroids are medications, surgeries such as hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, and radiologic treatments such as radiofrequency ablation.  Most of these treatments affect a person's ability to get pregnant.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is when a person has their uterine endometrial tissue that is growing somewhere besides its normal location, most commonly at the pelvic peritoneum. This can also be regarded as "lesions outside of the uterus". This condition has been described as "benign and estrogen dependent", therefore impacting those who produce estrogen. Other locations where this may occur, although more rare, include ovaries, pericardium, rectovaginal septum, bladder, and more. Most commonly, this can be associated with pelvic pain and infertility.

Diseases of the fallopian tubes

Salpingitis
Salpingitis, or salpingitis isthmica nodosa, is a disease involving inflammation within the Fallopian tubes. This condition can be caused by infections, such as sexually transmitted infections. Salpingitis may be associated with fertility problems, such as infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy, or tubal ectopic pregnancy, is a condition that occurs when a developing pregnancy implants outside of the uterus, such as in the Fallopian tubes. This condition is an emergency and can be fatal to the pregnant person. Treatment usually involves a salpingectomy, or the removal of the affected Fallopian tube.

Diseases of the ovaries

Oophoritis
Oophoritis is a condition affecting one or both of the ovaries which results in inflammation. Oophoritis can be caused by an infection or by an autoimmune disease called primary ovarian insufficiency.

Sexually transmitted infections
A sexually transmitted infection (STI), also known as sexually transmitted disease (STD), is an infection caused by a virus, fungus, bacteria, or parasite that is spread through sexual contact. STIs are very common and can be passed from one person to another through vaginal, oral, and anal sex.

Complications

Sexually transmitted infections can impact female reproductive health worldwide. Women experience a larger impact on their health compared to men because of how exposed and vulnerable their urogenital anatomy is. The vaginal mucosa is thin and can be easily penetrated by infectious agents.  Some complications that women experience from STIs are infertility, chronic pelvic pain, increased peripartum morbidity, and increased peripartum mortality.

Economic burden

In 2018, $15.9 billion was spent on lifetime medical cost attributable to STIs such as chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, genital herpes, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), HIV, and hepatitis B. When HIV is not included in the cost, STI's in women account for about three fourths of lifetime direct medical costs annually.

Cancers
The probability of contracting a cancerous development depends on age, ethnicity and the existence, or non-existence, of environmental causation.  Unlike all other genitally situated cancers, the incidence of penis cancer is related to the sexual mode of transmission.

Inflammation
An example of a male genital disease is orchitis.

The House at 34 Benefit Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts is a modest factory worker's cottage built by the American Optical Company during a period of its expansion in the 1870s.  After opening its new Main Plant in The Flats section of Southbridge, workers began to migrate there from the Globe Village neighborhood, increasing demand for housing in that area.  It is a narrow -story wood-frame structure, which has some architectural style despite its simplicity.  The styling is basically Italianate in influence, with wide eaves, and a porch with decorative posts, balustrade, and brackets.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Terence James O'Neill, Baron O'Neill of Gatley (born 17 March 1957) is a British economist best known for coining BRIC, the acronym that stands for Brazil, Russia, India, and China—the four once rapidly developing countries that were thought to challenge the global economic power of the developed G7 economies. He is also a former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management and former Conservative government minister. As of January 2014, he is an Honorary Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester.

O'Neill was appointed Commercial Secretary to the Treasury in the Second Cameron Ministry, a position he held until his resignation on 23 September 2016. He chaired the UK's Independent Review into Antimicrobial Resistance for two years, which completed its work in May 2016. Since 2008, he has written monthly columns for international media organization Project Syndicate. He was the chairman of the Council of Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs for three years until 20 July 2021.

Career
O'Neill obtained a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1977 and a Master of Arts (MA) degree in economics from Sheffield University in 1978. He subsequently earned his PhD degree from the University of Surrey in 1982, with a thesis titled An empirical investigation into the OPEC surplus and its disposal. O'Neill began his career in finance working at Bank of America in 1982. In 1985 he joined Marine Midland Bank as Economist for their International Treasury Management Division. After Marine Midland was purchased by HSBC he joined Swiss Bank Corporation in 1988 where he was in charge of the fixed income research group, and he served as SBC's chief of global research. He joined Goldman Sachs in 1997 and he was appointed as the head of global economics research in 2001, which is also when he published the seminal BRIC paper. Jan Hatzius replaced O'Neill as chief economist after O'Neill moved to Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

In 2010, he was named chairman of Goldman Sachs's Division of Asset Management, a newly created position in which O'Neill managed over $800 billion in assets by "leverag[ing]" his "global perspective on world markets". He continues to publish research regarding the global economy, in addition to coming up with innovative investment strategies for clients. His new appointment was regarded as a symbol of Goldman's "efforts to reposition itself for Wall Street's post-crisis era", one in which Goldman Sachs is "bullish" about the fact that emerging markets are "the future". In 2011, he was included in the 50 Most Influential ranking of Bloomberg Markets magazine.

He retired from the firm in 2013. He is a currently on the International Advisory Board of the Centre for Rising Powers at the University of Cambridge. O'Neill sits on the QFINANCE Strategic Advisory Board. He is also a member of the board of Bruegel, the European think tank for international economics. O'Neill is chairman of the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership Advisory Board, which advises on the growth of the Greater Manchester economy. On 2 July 2014, he was appointed by UK Prime Minister David Cameron to head an international commission to investigate global antimicrobial resistance. In 2014, O'Neill was awarded an Honorary Litt.D. degree by the University of Sheffield in recognition of his contribution to international economics. He has honorary degrees from the Institute of Education of the University of London, for his educational philanthropy, and from City University London for his services to banking and finance.

In 2018, Lord O'Neill published the book Superbugs: an Arms Race Against Bacteria co-written with Anthony McDonnell and Will Hall, which tells the story of drug resistant infections and outlines the policy interventions he believes necessary to stop them.

House of Lords
In 2015, he was created a Life Peer as Baron O'Neill of Gatley, of Gatley in the County of Greater Manchester, and took up an unpaid post in HM Government as the Commercial Secretary to the Treasury. In this role O'Neill's primary role was to work on the Northern Powerhouse project and to help reinvigorate trade with China. Following the resignation of David Cameron as Prime Minister his successor, Theresa May, kept O'Neill in post. In 2016, O'Neill resigned over concerns that May was not committed to the Northern Powerhouse project, making him the first member of May's ministry to resign.

O'Neill sat in the House of Lords as a Conservative life peer from 28 May 2015 to 23 September 2016. After leaving the Conservatives, he then sat as a non-affiliated member of the House of Lords 23 September 2016 to 9 October 2017, and he has sat as a member of the crossbenchers since 9 October 2017.

Economic views
O'Neill claims not to commit to a specific financial ideology; instead, he is known for his "pragmatic, long-term" vision of currency markets. He improves upon traditional models of data analysis by incorporating elements that ultimately make them more accurate.

BRICs
O'Neill coined the term "BRIC" in 2001 in "The World Needs Better Economic BRICs", a paper written for Goldman Sachs's "Global Economic Paper" series, on the four emerging "BRIC" economies Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

Foreign exchange markets
O'Neill has been called a "currency guru"; he has been hailed as "the top foreign-exchange economist anywhere in the world in the past decade". For example, in 2004 he accurately predicted that the euro would rise from $1.25 to $1.30 a year later; he was also right about the yen's rise in the mid-1990s. He was previously head of global economic research and commodities and strategy research at Goldman Sachs.

Next Eleven
The Next Eleven (known also by the numeronym N-11) are the eleven countries – Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam – identified by Jim O'Neill in a research paper as having a high potential of becoming, along with the BRICS countries, among the world's largest economies in the 21st century. The bank chose these states, all with promising outlooks for investment and future growth, on 12 December 2005.

The criteria used were macroeconomic stability, political maturity, openness of trade and investment policies, and the quality of education. The N-11 paper is a follow-up to the bank's 2003 paper on the four emerging "BRIC" economies.

MIKT
In 2011, O'Neill coined the term MIKT (MIST is also used) for the countries of Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey. The term has largely fallen out of use, having been replaced by MINT (see below).

MINT
In 2013, O'Neill also coined the term MINT—Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey—in order to differentiate among the variety of emerging economies. In January 2014, O'Neill presented a four-part documentary series on this subject for BBC Radio entitled MINT: The Next Economic Giants.

Personal life
O'Neill grew up in Gatley and attended Burnage Comprehensive and Sheffield University, where he studied economics. O'Neill is an enthusiastic football fan and played for the Bank of America's first team in London. He is a lifelong follower of Manchester United F.C. and served as a non-executive director from 2004 to 2005, before the club was returned to private ownership.
On 2 March 2010, the Red Knights, a group of wealthy Manchester United fans believed to include O'Neill, confirmed interest in a possible takeover of the club.

Touma is a Lebanese Canadian film director and producer residing in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Touma is the founder of Couzin Films film, television and digital media production company and it was released through the company.

The house at 64 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts is a vernacular Queen Anne Victorian house built around the turn of the 20th century.  It was built for George Wells, president of the American Optical Company, as a property to rent to factory workers.  Its styling includes a wraparound porch, and diamond-pattern shingles in the gable end, as well as patternwork in the slate roof.  However, it also has some Colonial Revival details, including the window treatments and the front door surround.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The house at 70–72 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts was built around the turn of the 20th century for George Wells, president of the American Optical Company, to provide housing for his workers.  A gambrel-roofed three family house its gable end faces the street, and is adorned with porches, of which the one on the third floor has since been enclosed. The roof line is pierced by long dormers, giving the third floor unit more space than it might otherwise have.  Ownership of the house was eventually transferred to the company, which continued to use the property for worker housing into the 1940s.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The House at 91 Coombs Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts was, at the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, a well-preserved example of a three-decker built early in the 20th century.  Of similar period three-deckers on Coombs Street, it was the only one that had not been significantly altered, with original Queen Anne trim elements, including turned balustrade and porch posts, and decorative stained glass windows.  Since then, it has apparently been demolished; a modern duplex now stands on the property.

The Judson–Litchfield House is a historic house at 313 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built sometime in the 1830s, it is a well-preserved local example of brick Greek Revival architecture, of which there are few surviving examples in the city.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Judson–Litchfield House is located on Southbridge's south side, on a rise on the south side of South Street.  It is a -story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof.  Its front (north-facing facade) is three bays wide, with the entrance set in the right bay recessed in a segmented-arched opening, and windows set in openings with granite lintels and sills.  The main gable is fully pedimented, with a louvered half-oval opening at its center.  A porch added to the left of the building is a later 19th-century addition.

Built sometime in the 1830s, this house is an early example of a side entry gable front Greek Revival house, a style that became much more common in subsequent decades.  An early local historian claimed that it was built to rival in style the Tiffany-Leonard House, another fine brick Greek Revival house located in the city center.  This house was built for Samuel Judson, owner of one of Southbridge's early cotton mills.  Later in the 19th century it was acquired by Libya Merritt Litchfield, treasurer and co-owner of the Litchfield shuttle factory.  The Litchfield Company was founded in the early 1840s, and was one of Southbridge's oldest and most successful businesses.

The former Holy Trinity Church, a closed Anglican church in the centre of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove, now serves as an art gallery.  Established in the early 19th century by Thomas Read Kemp, an important figure in Brighton's early political and religious life, it was originally an independent Nonconformist chapel but became an Anglican chapel of ease when Kemp returned to the Church of England.  The church closed in 1984, but was converted into a museum and later an art gallery.  Reflecting its architectural and historical importance, it has been listed at Grade II since 1981.

History
Thomas Read Kemp, born in nearby Lewes in 1782, was heavily involved in Brighton's development in the first decades of the 19th century, until he left the country in 1837 to escape his debts.  He became the Member of Parliament for Lewes in 1811, but left both the position and the Church of England in 1816 to found an independent Christian sect in Brighton.  He moved to the town in 1819, became a major landowner, magistrate, town official and the developer of the high-class Kemp Town estate which still bears his name.

His sect was based at the former St James's Chapel in St James's Street, built between 1810 and 1813.  It was intended to serve as a chapel of ease to St Nicholas' Church, but was used by various Nonconformist congregations for its first few years until the Vicar of Brighton found a suitable curate.  In 1817, Kemp's uncle Nathaniel bought the church on behalf of the Church of England.  At that time, Kemp commissioned Amon Wilds to build a new chapel for him.  Situated on the west side of the northern section of Ship Street, which was then a separate entity named Ship Street Lane, it featured a pediment and a square tower, under which was a glass dome which illuminated the interior, and a stuccoed exterior.  Although Kemp converted back to Anglicanism in 1823, the chapel remained independent until 1826: a recently ordained priest, Revd Robert Anderson (the brother of the incumbent at St George's Church in Kemp Town) bought it in 1825 and converted it via a private Act of Parliament into a private Anglican chapel.  It was consecrated on 21 April 1826 and altered internally; by 1829 its seating capacity was 800.

The chapel became very fashionable for several decades afterwards.  Rev. Anderson and one of his successors, Rev. Frederick W. Robertson, were popular and successful preachers.  Robertson in particular had a significant impact on life in Brighton: he undertook missionary work in the town, founded a working men's institute and preached radical, unorthodox but effective sermons which became famous throughout Britain.  A plaque on the outside wall records Robertson's six-year preaching career.

A chancel was added in 1867.  The Church of England bought the building for £6,500 in 1878, and it was altered significantly in the next few years by George Somers Clarke Jr. and John T. Micklethwaite. The eastern face, fronting Ship Street, was reclad in flint and restyled in Gothic Revival fashion, and a much taller octagonal tower replaced the existing square structure.  This contrasted with the stuccoed south face, which had been hidden behind a house until the 1867 rebuilding but which now abutted the newly widened Duke Street. Reginald John Campbell was the priest here from 1924 to 1930.

The church was always unparished, and experienced declining congregations throughout the 20th century.  Originally proposed for closure in the middle of the century, it survived until 1984, although its last perpetual curate had left in 1971.  The Diocese of Chichester declared it redundant as from 1 November 1984, and it closed in December of that year.

Architecture
The original building of 1817 was in the Doric style and featured a square tower and a portico with four Doric columns.  When Rev. Robert Anderson bought the church from Thomas Read Kemp in 1825, he removed this feature and extended the building northwards.  There were more alterations in 1855, and the widening of Duke Street (which runs along the south side of the church) made the southern face visible for the first time.  This has a series of round-headed, blank-faced arches.  Also at this time, the chancel was built to replace the vestry.  Its three round-arched lancet windows are prominent on the eastern façade.

The greatest changes, which have given the building its present appearance, took place between 1885 and 1887.  Somers Clarke and Micklethwaite redesigned the east-facing exterior in a style incorporating elements of the Perpendicular and Decorated forms of Gothic Revival architecture.  They used knapped flint and stone dressings; the south face, with the rounded arches, retains the stucco work from the changes in the 1860s.

The church since closure
Soon after the Diocese of Chichester declared the church redundant, it leased the building to a group who established a museum. Since 1996, however, it has been used as an art gallery by the organisation Fabrica.

Holy Trinity Church was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 2 March 1981.  It is one of 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.

The Napoleon LaRochelle Two-Family House is a historic house at 30 Pine Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  An excellent example of a vernacular Victorian duplex, it was probably built around 1890 for Napoleon LaRochelle, a polisher for the American Optical Company.  He owned this and another house next door which was built in the same style.  Its plan is a typical front-gable side entry layout, this time with a central cross gable.  It has some bargeboard decoration on the front gable, and its front porch features a basket-weave railing.

It was built in 1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The Maple Street Historic District consists of a cluster of ten similar worker cottages on Maple Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  They were built as part of an effort by the locally important American Optical Company to improve the quality of its worker housing in the 1910s.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The American Optical Company was a major employer in Southbridge from the late 19th century well into the 20th century.  Its owners, members of the Wells family, had a history of building housing units (which they retained personal ownership of) to rent to workers in their factories.  At some point in the early 20th century the company began acquiring existing houses which it also used to provide worker housing.  Around 1915 the company built a series of housing units.  The Maple Street cluster is one of these; others that have survived relatively intact include Windsor Court and Twinehurst Place, both of which consist of multiunit buildings.

The Maple Street properties are ten nearly identical wood-framed gambrel-roofed Colonial Revival (Dutch Colonial) cottages, which the company intended as housing for its foremen.  All are oriented with a gable end to the street, with the main entrances of the houses on the sides, facing each other in pairs.  Nominally  stories tall, they feature long dormers in their roof line that create a full second story inside.  All feature a slate roof, stucco exterior, and an enclosed porch.  The design work for them was done by Loring & Leland of Boston, who are known to have designed other worker housing areas.

Neny Lalao Rakotonirainy Ravalomanana (born 1953) is a Malagasy businesswoman and politician who served as the first lady of Madagascar from 2002 to 2009, when her husband, Marc Ravalomanana, was president.

Ravalomanana was born Lalao Harivelo Rakotonirainy in Antananarivo, French Madagascar. She married Marc Ravalomanana in 1974 at a ceremony held in Imerikasinina. The couple have four children: Josoa, Tojo, Sarah, and Maika.

In April 2013, Lalao Ravalomanana put herself forward to run in the 2013 presidential election, an election in which her husband was barred from standing. However, Ravalomanana, who had recently returned from exile in South Africa where she lived with her husband, was barred from running for not having lived in Madagascar for 6 months before the poll. Ravalomanana then publicly endorsed medical doctor and politician Jean Louis Robinson from Antananarivo.

From October 2015 to January 2020 Lalao Ravalomanana served as Mayor of Antananarivo.

The William McKinstry Farmhouse is a historic house at 361 Pleasant Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Despite significant later alteration, it is one of the oldest surviving farmhouses in Southbridge.  It was built in about 1780 by William McKinstry, a British Army soldier who arrived in the area as a deserter in 1748, and is still owned by his descendants.  Despite later modifications (notably the 19th century front dormer and side ell, and the application of siding), the basic -story five bay plan with twin chimneys is recognizable.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The William McKinstry Jr. House is a historic house at 915 W. Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It is a 2+ story building, unusual because of its distinctive monitor roof.  Its construction date is unknown, but it is documented in a painting of Southbridge's Globe Village area in 1822.  It appears to have been intended for housing, but the monitor roof is more typically associated with mill buildings.  It is known to have been occupied by William McKinstry Jr., son of an early Southbridge settler, in 1836.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Clean Asia! is a freeware vertically scrolling shooter video game. It was developed by Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström and released for Windows on February 1, 2007.

Gameplay
Backgrounds are completely black, with enemies and the player appearing as outlines. Bright neon colors are used, giving the game a hypnotic atmosphere. The two ships, known as the Attractor and Reflector, have different gameplay styles. The Attractor is the most unconventional, possessing no weapons, and attacking by ramming enemies and shooting fragments at other enemies. This ship may pick up weapons dropped by enemies. The Reflector is more traditional, with regular weapons. The gun of the Reflector can be charged, causing the player's fighter to stop moving. Gathering debris causes the player to level up, giving them shields and a bomb-like weapon.

Plot
In the future, the eyes of all humans are revealed as intelligent unto themselves, having merely used humans as their hosts. They leave their bodies and fly to the moon, develop weapons, and attack the human race, capturing several Asian countries, including China, Thailand, and Korea. Humanity sends two blinded pilot brothers, Mickey R. Dole and Mackey I. Dole, who both possess a sixth sense, to defeat the invaders. The pilots cover their eyes with different methods - a double eyepatch and shaded glasses. Each pilot's custom fighter uses a different attacking technique.

Development
Clean Asia! was started as a 2007 competition entry at shmup-dev.com. The competition's criteria were that the game had to be a shoot 'em up, and include an autofire function. The game was developed using GameMaker, while the music was licensed from another composer. It later won the prize of $200. Söderström tried to be as original as possible when designing the game, drawing inspiration from the ability to pick up enemy debris in 'Nvaders, a game which he thought felt "slightly rushed" and "incomplete". He was also inspired by another, unnamed shoot 'em up, in which the player is able to use an enemy's weapons against them. Söderström believes that the game's most creative aspect is the gameplay of the Attractor. Clean Asia! was developed during the span of two months, with most content being created in the last few weeks.

The game was later released as part of an arcade game compilation, Cactus Arcade.

Reception
Patrick Murphy of Gamasutra called Clean Asia "uniquely presented and stylish", noting that it had an "original, polished visual style". Anthony Burch of Destructoid said that the decision to allow the player to use pieces of defeated enemies as ammunition "takes the SHMUP conventions we’re all familiar with and turns them on their heads", describing the game as "really hard. But in a good way". He stated that "if you only ever download one free SHMUP this year, make it Clean Asia!", praising the "slick" graphics and the main design conceit as "stunningly simple". James Murff of Big Download called the game "a sublime shooter", saying it was both traditional and unconventional. IndieGames.com compared the game to Warning Forever and Tumiki Fighters.

Awards
Clean Asia! was a finalist in the 2008 Independent Games Festival awards for "Excellence In Visual Arts" and "Excellence in Audio".

The H. Morse House is a historic house at 230 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  The -story wood-frame house was probably built in the 1840s, and is a well-preserved example of a rural Greek Revival farmhouse.  It was shown on an 1855 map as being owned by H. Morse, in the 1870s by Lyman Morse, and in 1878 by "Misses Morse".  The house has some excellent Greek Revival features, including pilastered corner borders and an ornately decorated front door surround.  A two-story addition was made to the side of the house in the 1870s, and another was made to the rear in the 20th century.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The J. J. Oakes House is a historic house at 14 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It is one of a few surviving Second Empire houses in Southbridge.  The two story wood-frame house was built sometime before 1870 for James Jacob Oakes, who grew up nearby, and owned a dry goods and clothing store in town.  The house was later acquired by J. J. Delahanty, who owned a furniture store in the Alden-Delahanty Block in Globe Village.  Although it is predominantly Second Empire in its styling (as indicated by the concave slate mansard roof), it also has significant Italianate detailing, including the three bay facade and bracketed eaves.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The E. M. Phillips House is a historic house at 35 Dresser Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  The two story L-shaped house was built in 1871 for E. M. Phillips, a local insurance agent.  Its styling is Italianate: its main body is three window bays wide, there are brackets in the eaves and gable pitch, and the gables have small round-arch windows.  After Phillips, the house was briefly occupied by Herbert E. Wells, son of Hiram C. Wells, owner of the locally important American Optical Company.  The company later acquired the house and used it as employee housing.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The Stephen Richard House is a historic house at 239-241 Elm Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It is a -story wood-frame house with two interior chimneys and fairly basic vernacular Federal styling.  Its date of construction is unknown: structures with commercial uses appear at its location on maps of the area dated 1855 and 1870.  The house's unusual angle with respect to the street (unlike its later neighboring houses), suggests an earlier date of construction.  It is first definitively identified on an 1879, owned by Stephen Richard.  Richard was a French Canadian who immigrated to Southbridge and established a cutlery making firm in 1862.  He is locally notable as the first French Canadian to become a United States citizen, something that he apparently needed to acquire a license of some sort.  In his wake a significant number of other immigrants also became citizens.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The Lorenzo R. Stone House is a historic house at 218 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It was built between 1830 and 1855 for Lorenzo Stone, occupation unknown.  Other houses were built in this area during the same time period due to the expansion of the Globe Village area, and were occupied to middle class workers and supervisors of the Hamilton Woolen Company.  This is a -story wood-frame house, with a simple three-bay side-hall configuration.  The exterior features fine Greek Revival detailing, including corner pilasters and a pedimented gable with frieze trim.  The house is not out of scale with the modest houses that surround it.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
