Zeus (DC Comics)

Zeus is a fictional deity in the DC Comics universe, an interpretation of Zeus from Greek mythology. His appearances are most significant in stories of Wonder Woman (Princess Diana). With the 2011 relaunch of DC Comics dubbed The New 52, Zeus has received a prominent role in the Wonder Woman mythos, as he is now the biological father of Wonder Woman through Hippolyta.

Fictional character biography
Zeus' origins and early history mostly conform to the way they are presented in classical mythology. He is a child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea and leader of the twelve Olympian Gods. During a war between the Titans and Olympians, Zeus slays his father and assumes his place as King of the Gods, ruling from Mount Olympus with his sister-wife Hera. He is the father of numerous gods and heroes, the most famous being Hercules.

In the DC Universe, the machinations of the alien dark and demon god Darkseid when he spreads tales of the Roman Gods cause the Olympians to split into multiple aspects, with the Roman gods existing for a time as separate entities. Zeus' counterpart Jupiter rules his own Olympus in a separate dimension following this. The two pantheons are merged into single entities again centuries later.

In present day, Zeus has been a benefactor of the Amazons, the last remaining people that still worship the Olympians. However, his patriarchal attitudes, disregard for mortals, and unreasonable demands have sometimes led to conflict with his followers, particularly their champion Wonder Woman.

After Wonder Woman's defeat of Ares, which caused the latter to go into self-exile, Zeus becomes interested in Diana and wants her virginity, offering to make her a goddess. Diana becomes the first woman ever to refuse his advances while professing love for him as god and father. Enraged at being rejected, Zeus threatens her, but is summoned back to Olympus by Hera at the urging at the Goddesses who created the Amazons and are incensed themselves at Zeus for trying to make Themyscira his personal brothel.  As punishment, Zeus demands that Diana undertake the Challenge of the Gods, on which she defeats the evils that have been trapped under Paradise Island, including a Hecatonshire and the Lernaean Hydra. She frees Heracles, who had been turned to stone and was supporting the Island.

During a War of the Gods, Zeus leads the Olympians in a conflict with their Roman counterparts and other deities, until mortal heroes intervene to end the war. After Darkseid destroys the glory of Olympus, Zeus convinces the other gods to abandon both it and Earth, and only Hermes refuses. The gods later return to Olympus but have occasionally been forced to defend or relocate it.

As in classical myth, Zeus frequently cheats on his wife Hera and couples with mortals to produce demi-god offspring. Zeus has been revealed as the father of Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) and shares a complicated relationship with his daughter, who resents his absence from most of her life.

Zeus is briefly deposed as ruler of Olympus during a coup staged by his daughter Athena with help from Ares. In the wake of this conflict, Athena becomes Queen of the Gods and Ares is appointed Lord of the Underworld. Shortly after this, the gods enter their second exile, following the Amazons into another dimension after the events of the Infinite Crisis. Their return to the Earth-realm is brought about by Darkseid, who captures the Olympians and tampers with their memories, seeking the secrets of their power. In Countdown to Final Crisis Darkseid's New Gods pose as Olympians and manipulate their followers. Once freed from Darkseid, the old Olympian order is restored. Athena seemingly perishes from her sustained injuries and Zeus once again becomes King of the Gods, giving Mary Marvel her powers back after she frees the Gods from a chamber on Apokolips.

Zeus' manipulations of his followers finally come to a head with the creation of the Gargareans, a race of warriors intended as male counterparts of the Amazons. Zeus murders the Hawaiian god Kāne Milohai, a patron of Wonder Woman, and uses his heart to resurrect Achilles Warkiller, whom he appoints as leader of the Gargareans. Zeus also instates Achilles as the new ruler of Themyscira. When Wonder Woman learns of this and of the murder of Kāne, she becomes enraged and physically assaults Zeus. This blasphemy shocks her mother Hippolyta and leads Diana to enter self-exile, forsaking her former

In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Wonder Woman's origin is revised, with her now being the biological daughter of Zeus. Zeus and Hippolyta engaged in combat, and their fight ended with the couple having sex, and thus Diana was conceived. This encounter was hidden from Diana, who was raised to believe that she was born out of clay, in order to protect Diana from Hera (Zeus' wife). Lennox (another illegitimate offspring of Zeus) commented that Zeus has been "scarpered off the immortal coil", hinting that he has apparently died. It is revealed that Zeus was reborn as a baby by his daughter Athena (much as Zeus had given birth to her from his head) who had been plunged into the fictitious personality and matching body of a woman named Zola who believed Zeke to be her youngest son by Zeus. Fulfilling the prophecy involving Zeus's last born son, Zeke is revealed to be the king of the gods himself, and the spell on Athena ends. Wonder Woman pleads with Athena, however, to vacate this form she has created so Wonder Woman can keep her friend Zola and mother to the new baby Zeus, who could be a better king of the gods with Zola as the mother he never really had before in his life.

Powers and abilities
Depending on the writer, Zeus' powers require either direct or indirect worship to sustain them.  Without this worship his powers may fade over time allowing other gods to equal or surpass him.

In most stories, Zeus is one of or the most powerful Olympian god. He has vast supernatural powers with a focus on weather control, but can accomplish nearly anything including shapeshifting, resurrecting the dead, and creating new life.

In other media

Television
 In the long-running animated series Super Friends, Wonder Woman says either "Great Zeus" or "Great Hera" as an interjection when she and other superheroes are in difficult situations.
 Zeus appears in the Challenge of the Super Friends episode "Battle of the Gods", voiced by Bob Holt. When Hera gets jealously angered at Aphrodite's praise for the Super Friends, she and Aphrodite bicker over the matter. Outraged by such a disturbance, Zeus decides to settle this dispute by having the Super Friends partake in different trials where Hera hopes that none of them will succeed in. The trials that Zeus puts the Super Friends through involve having Superman find and defeat the Minotaur, having Batman and Robin solve the Riddle of the Sphinx, having Wonder Woman retrieve the necklace of Medusa, and having Aquaman retrieve the Golden Fleece.

Film

DC Extended Universe

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, portrayed by Gal Gadot, is the biological daughter of Zeus in the shared film universe.

Zeus is referenced in Wonder Woman (2017). Zeus and the other Olympian Gods are depicted through CGI effects, showing the images of the storybook that Queen Hippolyta reads to a young Diana. Queen Hippolyta explains to Diana that Zeus is the leader of the ancient Olympian Gods, and that he created the Amazons to protect and help humankind. Over time, his son Ares revolted, corrupted men and killed most of the Olympian Gods in battle. Zeus defeated Ares and cast him off of Mount Olympus while getting wounded in the process. After the imprisonment of the Amazonian women by the wicked men of the Earth, Zeus creates Themyscira to protect them, creating a cloaking effect to hide the island from the world. In his dying breath, Zeus leaves his Amazon warriors with the care of his and Hippolyta's daughter Diana and gives them a gift in the form of an artifact, the "Godkiller" sword. Later, it is revealed that Diana herself is the "Godkiller" as only a god can kill another god.
Zeus appears in the film Justice League (2017), portrayed by Sergi Constance. He was seen during a flashback scene to ancient Earth. In ancient times as explained by Diana, the united armies of the Olympians, Atlanteans, Amazons, humans, and the Green Lantern Corps worked together to defeat Steppenwolf, ending his previous invasion. Zeus was present during the battle among the other Olympian Old Gods and used a lightning bolt to separate the three Mother Boxes to prevent them from fusing into each other. After the battle, the forces unite in protecting the Mother Boxes. Two are protected in Atlantis and Themyscira, respectively, while the third is buried by the humans with the aid of the Olympians so as to prevent their destructive power from ever threatening Earth again.

Animation
Zeus appears in the animated film Wonder Woman voiced by David McCallum. He and Hera appeared to prevent Hippolyta from killing Ares during a fight between the Amazons and the Armies of Ares.

Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway

Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway (NGSR) was a Railway Company in India between 1879 and 1950, and was owned by the Nizams of Kingdom of Hyderabad. The full style of the system was His Exalted Highness, The Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway  which had its beginnings in a line built privately by the HEH the Nizam, much to the dismay of the British authorities. It was owned and worked by a company under a guarantee from the Hyderabad State, capital for which was raised by the issue of redeemable mortgage debentures. In 1951 the NGSR was nationalised and merged into Indian Railways.

History

Being one of the largest princely states of India, the Nizam of the Hyderabad State wanted to build a railway line to connect Hyderabad with the rest of the British India (now India). The proposal was for an initial railway line from Secunderabad Railway Station in Hyderabad to Wadi Junction, whose construction expenses the Nizam agreed to underwrite.  Subsequent branches were financed through a variety of means.  Construction commenced in 1870, and the Secunderabad-Wadi Line was completed in four years.  Later from 1874 to 1889, this line was extended to Kazipet and then Vijayawada.

In 1879, the Nizam of Hyderabad Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI took direct control of the company, integrating it into the state bureaucracy as the state-owned Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway.  But this partial nationalization was reversed in 1883, when a management company was formed to gradually take over these lines, under the provision of a guarantee from the Government of HEH the Nizam of Hyderabad State. In 1899, the broad gauge connection between Bezwada (Vijayawada) and Madras (Chennai Central) opened making rail travel between Hyderabad and Chennai possible. The State thus contained 467 miles on the broad gauge, all built before 1891, and 391 miles on the metre gauge, opened between 1899 and 1901.

The total capital expenditure on the Nizam's State Railway to the end of 1904 was 4.3 crores, and in that year the net earnings were nearly 28 lakhs, or about 6 per cent on the outlay.

In 1916, another railway terminus, Kachiguda Railway Station, was built to serve as the railway's headquarters.

The Nizam's railway was divided into various, directly-owned subcorporations.   Each had a head official appointed the Nizam's Railway. The profits of these rail lines were enjoyed by it. These were the constituent lines within the Nizam's Railway:

 Bezwada Extension (34.5 miles) opened in 1889
 Belharshah-Kazipet (234.5 miles) opened in 1924
 Karipalli-Kothagudam (39.5 miles) opened in 1927
 Vikarabad-Bidar (91 miles) opened in 1930
 Purna Junction-Hingoli (miles) opened in 1912
 Secunderabad-British Frontier (188.2 miles) opened in 1916
 Dhone Kurnool (cont. to Madras) (58.5 miles) opened in 1909.
 The Singareni coal fields were served by a branch line from Dornakal Junction, a distance of 30 km.

The Nizam's railway also consolidated with a separate railroad, the Hyderabad-Godavari Valley Railway.

Hyderabad-Godavari Valley Railways
The Hyderabad-Godavari Valley railway was chartered to build a metre-gauge line between its namesake regions.  In 1896, it appointed John Wallace Pringle as the superintending engineer for survey and construction, fresh from surveying routes for the Uganda railway.  Four years later, the railway began service on the  from Hyderabad city to Manmad Junction.

The Hyderabad-Godavari Valley Railways has cost 2.6 crores, and earned 7.7 lakhs net in the same year, or nearly 3 percent; but in 1901 and 1902 the earnings had been about 3 per cent.

The cotton industry and the railways

In the early twentieth century, cotton being the largest export of Hyderabad State, the cotton industry held an important place in the eyes of Nizam's Hyderabad Government. In 1889 a cotton spinning and weaving mill was erected in Aurangabad city, which employed 700 people. With the opening of the Hyderabad–Godavari Valley Railways in the year 1900 several ginning factories were started. In the Jalna alone there were 9 cotton ginning factories and five cotton presses, besides two ginning factories at Aurangabad and Kannad, and one oil press at Aurangabad. The total number of people employed in the cotton presses and ginning factories in the year 1901 was 1,016.

The area of cultivated land under cotton in 1914 was three million acres (12,000 km²), and most of the cotton was grown in the Marathwara districts, where the soil was peculiarly well suited to it.

The opening of the Hyderabad–Godavari Railway, in October 1900, gave a great impetus to the growth of cotton in the Nizamabad, Nander, Parbhani and Aurangabad Districts, where many ginning and pressing factories came into existence as soon as heavy machinery could be brought
there by rail. Bombay buyers then began to arrive in considerable numbers during the cotton season, which lasted from October to December, and as they paid cash for the cotton and would even send coolies to cut it and bring it to the cotton marts, more and more land began to be put down in cotton by the farmers. Hand gins gave place to ginning machines, and the farmers ceased to weed their fields carefully, and to cultivate only the best cotton. Grain and pulses then became more expensive, so much of the best land being laid down in cotton, and Marathwada entered upon a critical period of its existence.

Says the census report of the period: " The evolution from the agricultural to the manufacturing stage has already begun in Marathwara When a country begins to produce the raw materials of manufacture in place of food crops, it has started on the road to industrialisation." There were three large spinning and weaving mills and about 90 small ginning and pressing factories in the State. The population supported by cotton spinning, sizing, and weaving in 1914 was 69,943 persons and by cotton ginning, cleaning, and pressing was 517,750 persons. The wages paid to the employees in these places were good, but the cost of living in Marathwara was very high, owing to the many holdings that are put down in cotton, and the uncertainty of the rainfall and availability of credit form money lenders.

Under the Rail and Road Transport Department
Beginning in 1932 scheduled bus services – under the auspices of the railway administration – began over 450 km with 27 vehicles. Within a decade, at a total expense of 7½ million HRs.  This was extended to nearly 500 vehicles, servicing 7200 km.  To coordinate transport policies, the Nizam's State developed a unified Rail and Road Transport Department.  According to historian M.A. Nayeem, The functioning of the railways, roadways and airways under a single department was unique in the world."  As a result, post-1948, Hyderabad State (later which became Andhra Pradesh) had a significantly superior bus network compared to the rest of India. Other Indian states such as Madhya Pradesh even bought used buses of Andhra Pradesh without hesitation. A four-lane highway which has now replaced the Nizam-era road from Hyderabad to North India.

Modern legacy
In 1950, the NGSR was nationalised and in 1951 became part of Central Railway, a zone of Indian Railways.

The metre-gauge lines were converted to  broad gauge from 1992 to 2004.

Antin Sielava

Anton Atanas Sielava (, , ) (1583 – 5 October 1655) was the Metropolitan of Kiev, Galicia and Russia of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from 1641 to his death in 1655.

Life
Atanas Sielava was born on about 1583 in the Polotsk Voivodeship from a family of Cossack origin and belonging to the Orthodox religion. In 1612 he entered in the Order of Saint Basil the Great, in the monastery of the Holy Trinity in Vilnius, taking the religious name of Anton (Antony). He lived for some time in the same cell with Saint Josaphat Kuntsevich and he was ordained a priest in 1617. He studied in the Greek College in Rome from 1617 to September 1619.

On 12 November 1623 the bishop of Polotsk, Josaphat Kuntsevich (later declared a Saint), was killed by an Orthodox mob. After him, Anton Sielava was appointed to the See of Polotsk. He was consecrated a bishop in early 1624 by Metropolitan Joseph Rutski and enthroned on 14 February 1624.

To Metropolitan Joseph Rutski succeeded Metropolitan Rafajil Korsak, who, when in 1639 left Belarus to go to Rome for Visit ad Limina, appointed Sielava as Vicarius for the Church. Rafajil Korsak died in Rome in August 1640 and, according to his last will, Pope Urban VIII confirmed Sielava as new Metropolitan after the usual process of eligibility. Anton Sielava was so formally appointed Metropolitan of Kiev on 18 March 1641. His patriarchate was initially marked by the beatification, on 16 May 1643, of Josaphat Kuntsevich.

Following his predecessors Joseph Rutski and Rafajil Korsak, Sielava went on in negotiations with the Orthodox Patriarch of Kiev, Peter Mogila about the way to unify the Ukrainian Church. However he was not a person of the stamp of his predecessors, and after the death of Mogila (1646), the discussions ended without results.

Sielava left much part of the administration of the Church to others, and he was of a sickly disposition and quite hypochondriac, and in the last part of his life he was seriously ill and blind.

Since 1648, the political situation in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth underwent years of crisis due to the Khmelnytsky Uprising, a Cossack rebellion in Ukraine fiercely anti-Catholic, followed by the Russo-Polish War (1654-1667) and Second Northern War. The Greek-Catholic Church was seriously threaten, many churches, monasteries and schools were destroyed, and priests and monks killed. Sielava had to leave Polotsk and died on 5 October 1655, when already (since 1653) the Greek-Catholic Church was in the resolute hands of Gabriel Kolenda.

Works
Anton Sielava was also a writer and a polemist. Among his works we have his "Antelenchus", against the "Elenchum" of Meletius Smotrytski, and his "Vitam Servi Dei  Josaphat, Archiepiscopi Polocensis" (Life of the Servant of God Josaphat, bishop of Polotsk) edited in 1624.

Stars Football League

The Stars Football League (SFL) was an American football league that operated primarily in Florida from 2011 to 2013. The league was headquartered in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

Rules
The league followed standard American football rules, with two exceptions. Field goals of over 50 yards were awarded four points instead of three, as in NFL Europe. The league also offered a three-point conversion from ten yards, just as the original XFL did in its playoffs. These rule changes were intended to help teams that fall behind in a game to catch up more quickly. The league did not use instant replay (the league never acquired a television contract, making instant replay impossible). The league also used a slightly shorter play clock.

Teams were restricted to 35 or 36 players on each roster, with any person 18 years of age or older eligible to play. Its level of play could be classified somewhere between minor league and semi-professional; players were compensated between $100 and $500 per game, on par with most indoor football leagues, but had to pay their own travel expenses for away games.

Teams

2011 season
The League awarded charter memberships to eight cities in seven states.  Teams were awarded to Las Vegas (Nevada) Little Rock (Arkansas), Pontiac (Michigan), New Orleans (Louisiana), Mobile (Alabama), Charleston (South Carolina), along with Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale (Florida).  For reasons unknown the Las Vegas Gamblers, Little Rock Ironmen, Charleston Admirals and the Mobile Gladiators never made it to play; the Ironmen, in particular, have been the subject of repeated relocations (the SFL has indicated the Ironmen club would play in Little Rock, then Bradenton, Florida, then Cleveland, Ohio, before finally beginning play in 2013 nominally representing Miami, Florida and sharing a stadium with Fort Lauderdale).

The Michigan Coyotes, having a much greater distance between themselves and the rest of the league, were declared a traveling team for their two games in the 2011 season. Had any home games been scheduled the team was to play at the Silverdome (Wisner Stadium was another potential stadium that the league mentioned for the team). Fort Lauderdale played its first season at Lockhart Stadium and Daytona Beach at Municipal Stadium.

The league released its 2011 schedule on July 2, 2011; said schedule was abruptly cut short in early August after several on-the-fly schedule and venue changes. In the end, each of the four teams played two of the other three teams at least once, with Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale playing each other three times, due to their proximity to each other. Winners of each game are underlined.

Final standings

2012 season
The 2012 season was originally scheduled to begin on Armed Forces Day (May 19, 2012) and continue through July; although a northern division was originally planned in addition to the Florida teams, neither of the two new proposed teams (in Cleveland and Canton, Ohio) meant to complement the existing Michigan Coyotes (who were to play that year at Atwood Stadium in Flint) would form, eventually forcing the Coyotes' mothballing. New Orleans left the league and joined other semi-pro leagues. In Florida, the SFL also proposed a team named the "Orange" (initially in Tampa and then in Fort Pierce) and a team based at South County Stadium in Port St. Lucie, neither of which came to fruition; likewise, the plan to play a game in Freeport, Bahamas's Grand Bahama Stadium also never occurred. In the end, of the roughly eight teams originally announced as participants in the 2012 SFL season, only three would make it to play: Daytona Beach (who had originally left the league, only to return) and Fort Lauderdale, in addition to the Fort Myers Swampdogs (also known as the Southwest Florida Swampdogs), who played the season at Bishop Verot High School. Daytona Beach's lone home game (the season opener) would be held at Lawnwood Stadium in Fort Pierce.

The season finally began on June 9, 2012, with a matchup between Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale in Fort Pierce. Fort Lauderdale won the contest on a last-second field goal, by Garrett Ewald of Coral Springs. Fort Myers played its first game June 16.

Final standings

2013 season
After numerous proposals and another erroneous draft schedule was released in the 2012-13 offseason, by the time of the April 2013 training camps the league had settled on an expansion to four teams for the 2013 season, adding the Miami Ironmen. The league began play on June 8, 2013 with a baseball-style doubleheader in Fort Lauderdale.

Two days before the start of the season, the league also announced that all six of the SFL's scheduled games for 2013 will take place at Central Broward Regional Park. The Swampdogs were nonetheless renamed the "Pompano Swampdogs" despite no connection to that city; likewise, the league made no effort to relocate the Daytona Beach Racers back to its namesake city, although the team's head coach continued to send news reports to the local newspapers there. The schedule is single round-robin, with each team playing each other once.

Final standings

Resolution
The team formally dismissed all of its coaches in February 2014 and has since ceased public operations; the league (as is typical of its operations) released a draft schedule that was to begin the 2014 season in April, but the schedule was removed after none of the games were played and the 2014 season was silently canceled.

Commissioner/owner Peter Hulthwaite announced the league's assets were up for sale on August 24, 2016.


Luis de Quixano y Font

Luis de Quixano y Font (c. 1810 - c. 1880) was Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico, from 11 July 1863 to 23 June 1865.

Background
Quixano Font was a retired Spanish colonel that performed as corregidor mayor of Ponce. He was also an early propeller of the celebration of the fiestas patronales in Ponce.

Mayoral term
Luis de Quixano y Font is best known for building the now-historic 65-kiosk Plaza del Mercado de Ponce in 1863.
 Occupying a full city block, this farmers' market was modeled after the Paris farmers' market. Luis de Quixano is also credited with setting up the first lighting of the city, when he ordered the installation of 16 oil-based lampposts around Plaza Las Delicias in 1864. Upon leaving his mayoral duties in Ponce on 23 June 1865, Quixano y Font became mayor of San German.


Madrasa Ennakhla

Madrasa Ennakhla ou Madrasa of the Palm () is a former madrasa and one of the monuments of the Ottoman era in the medina of Tunis. It is named after the palm tree at the center of its patio which still stands today.

Location

The madrasa is located near the Al-Zaytuna Mosque, at the Souk El Koutbiya, and was built on the site of a caravanserai that used to sell wine. The madrasa is also close to Madrasa Slimania and Madrasa El Bachia. Those three madrasas nearing the Al-Zaytuna Mosque provided schooling and housing for the University of Ez-Zitouna students.

History
Madrasa Ennakhla is the second madrasa founded by Al-Husayn I ibn Ali and was constructed in 1714. It is of great archaeological and historical interest as its simple architecture is representative of traditional buildings used for student housing. It was the first among the three madrasas to be built and the closest to the Al-Zaytuna Mosque. Since its restoration in 1979 by the National institute of Arts and Architecture, it is in a good state.

Description

The madrasa is composed of a main entrance, a patio, twelve rooms and a prayer hall (masjid).

The entrance consists of a wooden double door. The internal frame is made of limestone (kaddal) and the second frame is made of . The entrance also includes two skifas; the first is rectangular with flat wooden ceiling joists; the access to the second skifa is made by a door in the left wall of the first skifa. The second skifa is smaller in size and is covered by a vault.

The patio has high arches on stone columns with Turkish capitals on all four sides of an almost square courtyard. The porticos are covered with El Haouaria stones. Each portico has three arches carved from the same stone. A glazed tile cornice surrounds the upper walls of the patio.

Twelve rooms of different dimensions surround the patio on three sides. Their doors are framed with kaddal. Small windows over the doors are used for ventilation and lighting.

The founder of Madrasa Ennakhla, Al-Husayn I ibn Ali, decorated the prayer hall's walls with richly carved plaster as well as its mihrab. Its facade is the largest on the patio. At its center is the main door of the prayer hall, which is rectangular in shape and covered with arches. The upper part of the walls are decorated with gypsum carving making an eight-pointed star on either sides of a pine tree. The center of the room's back wall has a hollow mihrab, with a covered half dome of carved stucco decoration.

Wayne G. Popham (born October 23, 1929) is an American politician in the state of Minnesota. He served in the Minnesota State Senate from 1963 to 1972 (district 35).


Kacapi

The kacapi is a zither-like Sundanese musical instrument derived from the Chinese , and similar to the Japanese koto, the Mongolian , the Korean , and the Vietnamese . The kacapi played as the main accompanying instrument in the Tembang Sunda or Mamaos Cianjuran, kacapi suling (tembang Sunda without vocal accompaniment) genre (called kecapi seruling in Indonesian), pantun stories recitation or an additional instrument in Gamelan Degung performance.

The word kacapi in Sundanese also refers to santol tree, from which initially the wood is believed to be used for building the zither instrument.

Form

According to its form or physical appearance, there are two kinds of kacapis:
Kacapi Parahu (=Boat Kacapi) or Kacapi Gelung ; and
Kacapi Siter

The Kacapi Parahu is a resonance box with an uncovered underside to allow the sound out. The sides of this kind of kacapi are tapered inward from top to bottom, which gives the instrument a boat-like shape. In ancient times, it was made directly from solid wood by perforating it.

The Kacapi siter is a plan-parallel resonance box. Similar to the kacapi parahu, its hole is located at the bottom. The upper and bottom sides of it form a trapezium-like shape.

For both kinds of kacapi, each string is affixed to a small screw or peg on the top right hand side of the box. They can be tuned in different systems: pelog, sorog/madenda, or slendro.

Nowadays, the resonance box of kacapi is made by glueing six wood-plates side by side.

The kacapi is traditionally played by sitting cross-legged on the floor. Thus the strings are about 25 cm above the floor. Nowadays the kacapi is sometimes placed on a wooden frame, so that the player can sit on a chair. If the kacapi indung is played while sitting on the floor, usually a pillow or some other small object is placed under its left hand side, as seen from the player, so that the sound can freely escape through the resonance hole in the bottom of the soundbox. Some kecapi are fitted with small feet, so that it is not necessary to lift them in this way.

Functions

According to its functions in a musical accompaniment, the kacapi is played as:
Kacapi Indung (=mother kacapi); and
Kacapi Anak (=child kacapi) or Kacapi Rincik

The Kacapi indung leads the accompaniment by providing intros, bridges, and interludes, as well as determining the tempo. For this purpose, a large kacapi with 18 or 20 strings is used.

The Kacapi rincik enriches the accompaniment by filling in inter-note spaces with higher frequencies, especially in fixed metered songs as in the kacapi suling or Sekar Panambih. For this purpose, a smaller kacapi with ~15 strings is used.

Tuning and Notation
Kacapi uses degung notation. It is a subset of the pelog heptachordal system. See the following table.

The note range, from the lowest to the highest frequency is:

The kacapi is tuned to match the 60 cm length suling tones. With this length, an approximation for the tuning compared to western scale is:

The following picture applies the above-mentioned tuning and notation.

Physical dimensions

Kacapi and recitation of pantun stories

It is not certain how long the kacapi has been used to accompany the recitation of pantun stories. In the Sundanese dictionary published by the Lembaga Basa & Sastra Sunda (1976) the primary meaning of the word pantun is given as kacapi. This may be an indication that the relation between the kacapi and the recitation of pantun stories is an old one. Eringa (1949:3) points to the proverb "kawas pantun teu jeung kacapi", 'like a pantun(-singer) without a kacapi', used of someone who likes to give other people advice but who does not himself practise what he preaches. This proverb, according to Eringa, indicates that the kacapi is the Standard instrument for accompanying a pantun recitation. The Baduy Sundanese of Banten Province still make exclusive use of the kacapi to accompany their pantun stories.


Shutlanger

Shutlanger is a small village and civil parish in south Northamptonshire, England. The village is  east of Towcester and  south of Northampton.

In 1881 Shutlanger parish's total population was 403. In 1901 it was 339 and by 1971 it had dropped to 233. At the time of the 2001 census, it was 270 people, increasing to 290 at the 2011 census.

There was a great medieval house here called the Monastery, but it was just a house and not a monastery in the normal sense. The village is close to Stoke Park Pavilions and originally part of the Stoke Park estate with the first Palladian-style English country house. The building is a Grade I listed Building. There is also an abandoned double-decker red bus, train tracks and a large collection of vintage porn from the 70's. Famous residents includes ancestors of the Richardson gang.

Shutlanger has its own Parish Council and belongs to the church grouping with Stoke Bruerne and Grafton Regis. The village has a pub (named The Plough) and a village hall. The nearest primary school and church are at Stoke Bruerne one mile east of Shutlanger.


Josh Dacres-Cogley

Joshua Jacob Dacres-Cogley (born 12 March 1996), sometimes referred to as Josh Cogley, is an English professional footballer who plays as a full back for  club Crawley Town, on loan from Birmingham City of the .

Life and career

Early life and youth football
Dacres-Cogley was born in Coventry and attended Myton School, Warwick. He joined Birmingham City F.C.'s academy in 2011, and took up a scholarship in July 2012. Interviewed in January 2014, the player assessed his strengths as speed, stamina, getting forward and defending, but felt he needed to improve his passing. When some of his peers signed their first professional contracts, Dacres-Cogley accepted a third-year scholarship. He played in the Birmingham teama mixture of first-team and reserve players that won the 2014–15 Birmingham Senior Cup, and signed his first professional contract, of one year, a few days later. According to coach Steve Spooner, Dacres-Cogley had an unsuccessful trial with Birmingham as a winger, but when he returned as a full back, "he did very well so we signed him as a scholar. He has really progressed well and worked on his overall game and his variety of passing. That part of game has really come to fruition. He is a wonderful athlete, he's quick and has the ability to get forward and back quickly, which is a prerequisite for a modern day full-back.

He performed well in pre-season matches, and manager Gary Rowett had hoped to loan him out to a Football League team, but an injury prevented any such move. At the end of the 2015–16 season, Dacres-Cogley was an unused substitute for the Birmingham reserve team that lost the 2016 Birmingham Senior Cup final to National League North champions Solihull Moors, and the club took up their option for another year on his contract. Ahead of the 2015–16 season, he was one of three youngsters who began their pre-season training with the first team, and he impressed enough to be included in first-team friendlies. Against Port Vale, he provided the crosses that led to both Birmingham's goals, and a couple of days later was given a squad number.

First-team football with Birmingham City
Dacres-Cogley made his senior debut on 9 August 2016 in the EFL Cup first-round match at home to Oxford United. He played the whole 120 minutes of the match, which Birmingham lost 1–0 after extra time. With Jonathan Spector suspended and Paul Caddis injured, he made his first Football League appearance on 26 November, starting the visit to Brentford at right back. Birmingham won 2–1, and Rowett praised Dacres-Cogley's performance, saying "he played with a lot of composure at times, showed good energy, got through the game in terms of his athleticism and fitness. And when he had to defend and win some headers he certainly did that." Rowett left the club soon afterwards, and his successor, Gianfranco Zola, continued with Dacres-Cogley in the starting eleven for a time, but the team struggled. An experiment with Dacres-Cogley on the right of a back three was not successful, and he made only two brief substitute appearances in the last two months of the campaign. In February 2017, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Birmingham.

The arrival of several defensive players during the 2017 summer transfer window pushed Dacres-Cogley down the pecking order, and his first appearance of the new season did not come until December, starting in central defence in a 1–0 loss to Fulham. In what remained of the 2017–18 season and the whole of the next, he made four appearances in cup competitions and played just 12 minutes of Championship football.

Crawley Town loan
After playing in Birmingham's EFL Cup defeat at Portsmouth on 6 August, Dacres-Cogley signed a one-year contract extension and joined League Two club Crawley Town on loan to the end of the 2019–20 season. During his third appearance, he fractured an ankle. He returned to first-team action on 1 January 2020, playing the first 71 minutes of a 1–1 draw away to Colchester United.

Career statistics


Richard M. Trevethan

Squadron Leader Richard Michael Trevethan  (24 January 1895 – 30 December 1971) was a British First World War flying ace credited with twelve aerial victories.

Early life and background
Richard Trevethan was born in Park City, Utah in 1895, to Michael Trevethan and his wife Clara Emma (née Pearce). The Trevethans were a long-established family from Perranzabuloe in Cornwall, an area with a strong mining tradition. Park City had been established as a mining town. However, by 1901 the family had returned to Cornwall, and were residing at St Kew.

Trevethan attended Falmouth Grammar School, Portsmouth Grammar School, and the Imperial College of Science, London.

First World War service
On 22 September 1914, Trevethan was commissioned a temporary second lieutenant and served in the 6th Battalion, South Lancashire Regiment, seeing active service in France and in the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915.

On 14 May 1917, Trevethan was transferred the General List to serve in the Royal Flying Corps, and was posted to No. 20 Squadron RFC to fly a two-seater F.E.2.d fighter. His first aerial victory came on 2 June 1917, with AM2 John Cowell as his gunner, and he gained his second a week later, on 9 June, with Second Lieutenant M. Dudbridge. He was promoted to lieutenant on 1 July 1917, and then ran up a string of ten more victories between 2 July and 9 August, all but one with Lieutenant Campbell Hoy as his gunner. In total, Trevethan was credited with destroying six Albatros fighters and driving down another six out of control.

On 17 August 1917 Trevethan was awarded the Military Cross, which was presented to him in the field by General Sir Herbert Plumer, but not gazetted until 17 September. The citation read:
Temporary Second Lieutenant Richard Michael Trevethan, General List and Royal Flying Corps.
"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when on offensive patrols. He has continuously displayed the greatest dash and determination in attacking enemy formations, regardless of their superiority in numbers, and has shot down at least four, driving others down out of control."

His squadron was then re-equipped with the new Bristol F.2 two-seater fighter, but on 18 September 1917, Trevethan was badly wounded. He returned to England to recover, and does not appear to have seen any further active service during the war.

List of aerial victories

Post-war career
On 1 August 1919, Trevethan was granted a permanent commission as a flying officer in the Royal Air Force. On 22 December 1919, he received a mention in despatches while serving with the British "Syren Force" in Murmansk, northern Russia, during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. He was also awarded the Order of St. Anna, 2nd class, by the Russians.

He then served in No. 207 Squadron RAF, receiving promotion to flight lieutenant in the 1922 New Year Honours. In September 1922 Trevethan was about to be reassigned to the RAF School of Photography, but this was cancelled, when No. 207 Squadron was sent to Turkey as a result of the Chanak Crisis. Trevethan, in command of the advance party, travelled from RAF Bircham Newton in Norfolk, to Liverpool, where the squadron and its aircraft were loaded onto the steamships Eboe and Khartoum, and sailed for Constantinople, arriving on 11 October. The squadron, under the command of Squadron Leader Arthur Tedder, had considerable difficulties unloading, reassembling, and operating their Airco DH.9A aircraft, due to the lack of facilities and the poor state of the airfield at San Stefano. However, the crisis was eventually settled by negotiation, and the squadron returned to England in August 1923, proceeding to its new home at RAF Eastchurch.

On 22 October 1923 Trevethan was posted to No. 39 Squadron, also flying the DH.9A, based at RAF Spitalgate, until reassigned to the RAF Depot at Uxbridge on 24 August 1925. On 21 September 1926 he was posted to the headquarters of Iraq Command, serving as Senior Meteorological Officer, until returning to the RAF Depot at Uxbridge on 26 January 1929. He was posted to No. 100 Squadron, based at RAF Bicester on 4 June 1929, and then from August 1931 until April 1933 (when it became 824 Naval Air Squadron) he commanded No. 440 (Fleet Reconnaissance) Flight, flying Fairey IIIF biplanes, and alternating between RAF Kai Tak, Hong Kong, and the carrier , also receiving a promotion to squadron leader on 1 December 1932. He then commanded the Flying and Parachute Test Squadron at the RAF Home Aircraft Depot at RAF Henlow from November 1934 until retiring from the RAF on 1 June 1935.

In 1937, he became Air Advisor to the Kwantung Government in China. During the Second World War, he was attached to the Admiralty, serving as mate and second officer in Royal Navy small ships. Post-war he was made a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and was for many years Superintendent of the Falmouth Meteorological Observatory.

Trevethan died on 30 December 1971, at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, Truro.

Personal life
In 1920 Trevethan married Muriel Doris Moon, the daughter of Major Wilfred Graham Moon, and granddaughter of Sir Edward Moon, but they were divorced in 1936. They had a son, Gerald Michael Trevethan.


Jangsak

Jangsak is a settlement located on the western outskirts of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. Officially known in Malay as  (sometimes ), It is a village-level subdivision under Kilanas, a mukim of Brunei-Muara District. The postcode for Jangsak is BF2720.


Melvin Cohn

Melvin Cohn (1922 – October 23, 2018) was an American immunologist who co-founded the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. He demonstrated that immunoglobulins and white blood cells interact directly with pathogens to protect the body from infection, and is considered a pioneer in the research of gene regulation.

Early life
Cohn was born in New York City in 1922. Although both of his parents worked in law, he chose to study physics at the City College of New York. After graduating in 1940, he entered the graduate school of Columbia University and earned his master's degree in chemistry.

During World War II, Cohn was drafted into the United States Army and served in a medical research unit in the Pacific Theater. After the end of the war, he was sent to Hiroshima, Japan in 1945 to study the after-effects of the atomic bombing of the city. He also diagnosed patients affected by a major diphtheria epidemic in the country.

After being discharged from the army in 1946, he attended New York University and earned his Ph.D in biochemistry in 1949, with a specialization in immunoglobulins.

Career
From 1949 Cohn worked in Paris, France at the Pasteur Institute, conducting research on genes and cells with the French scientist Jacques Monod, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

From 1955 to 1958, Cohn served as professor of microbiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1959, he moved to Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he was professor of biochemistry. Cohn's reputation as a leading researcher in molecular biology attracted the attention of Jonas Salk, who was planning to build the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. They struck a friendship as Cohn drove Salk around the San Francisco Bay Area looking at potential sites.

In 1961, when Salk decided to build his institute in La Jolla in Southern California, he invited Cohn and Renato Dulbecco to serve as co-founders, which they both accepted despite the risks involved in joining a new venture which was still short of money. Cohn's wife, biologist Suzanne Bourgeois, also joined them.

Cohn studied the immune system at the Salk Institute for the next 57 years. He demonstrated that immunoglobulins and white blood cells react directly to pathogens to protect the body from infection, and developed computer models to predict the immune system's response to infections.

Personal life
Cohn married Ruby Burman, a theater scholar and authority on Samuel Beckett, in 1946. They divorced in 1961. He later married again, to biologist Suzanne Bourgeois.

Cohn died in San Diego, California on October 23, 2018, at the age of 96.

Honors and recognition
Some of the honors and awards Cohn had received:

  (1956)
 Honorary Member of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology (1978)
 Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1980)
 Sandoz Prize in Basic Immunology (1995)


Metstaga

Metstaga is a settlement in Varstu Parish, Võru County in southeastern Estonia.


William Callister

William Callister MHK (1808–1872) was a timber importer from Ramsey who became a Member of the House of Keys. He was an issuer of a halfpenny trader's currency token in 1831. In October 1865, Callister, together with Samuel Harris, William Moore and Henry Noble founded the Isle of Man Bank.


Roger Godsiff

Roger Duncan Godsiff (born 28 June 1946) is a British politician who served as the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Hall Green from 2010 to 2019, and previously as MP for Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath from 1992 to 2010.

In October 2019, Hall Green Constituency Labour Party members overwhelmingly voted to open selections for their Parliamentary Candidate, with votes of 86 to 6 in Moseley and Kings Heath Branch and 37 to 11 in Hall Green Branch to have the option to choose a candidate other than Roger Godsiff. This followed many years of controversy about the MP's behaviour and stances, including voting with the Conservative Party on key Brexit votes, and outspokenly opposing LGBT+ Inclusive Education in Birmingham schools. Godsiff subsequently declared his intention to stand as an independent candidate. He lost the seat to the official Labour Party candidate, Tahir Ali, coming third behind Labour and the Conservatives.

Early life
Roger Godsiff was born in London and educated at Catford Comprehensive School.

He was a bank clerk for five years from 1965, joining the Labour Party in 1966.

He was a political officer from 1970 with the trade union APEX and then from 1990 with its successor the GMB until his election to Parliament in 1992. During his time as a trade union official, he was a member of the St Ermins group, a secret caucus of moderate trade unionists who moved the Labour Party back towards the political centre by organising slates for elections to the party's National Executive Committee.

Political career
Elected as a councillor in the London Borough of Lewisham in 1971, he became the Mayor of Lewisham for 1977-78, before quitting the council at the 1990 London Borough elections. He unsuccessfully contested Birmingham Yardley at the 1983 general election, where he finished in second place behind the sitting Conservative MP David Gilroy Bevan. He was elected to the House of Commons for Birmingham Small Heath at the 1992 general election following the retirement of Denis Howell. Godsiff held Small Heath with a majority of 13,989 votes and remained an MP from that point. His constituency was abolished in 1997 and, aided by the retirement of Birmingham Sparkbrook MP Roy Hattersley, Godsiff was elected for the newly combined constituency of Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath at the 1997 general election.

The Sparkbrook and Small Heath seat was abolished at the 2010 election, with its constituent parts moving into neighbouring seats. Godsiff was selected for the redrawn Birmingham Hall Green seat in 2008, which includes some of his existing constituency and wards which were formerly in the two Birmingham constituencies of Hall Green and Selly Oak. He was re-elected at the May 2010 general election with a majority of 3,799.

In Parliament he was a special adviser to the former Minister of Sport Richard Caborn on cricket and was the chairman of the All Party Japan Group. In October 2006, Godsiff was one of 12 Labour MPs to back Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party's call for an inquiry into the Iraq War. He also rebelled against the government in November 2005 on legislation permitting the detention of terrorist suspects for 90 days without trial.

Godsiff called for economic migration to the UK to be "stopped" in 2005. He was one of seven signatories in 2014 of an open letter to Ed Miliband calling upon him to commit to restricting the ability of workers from low income EU countries to move to the UK.

In the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, Godsiff supported the Leave campaign, although his constituency voted by 66.4% to remain in the European Union. Unusually for a pro-Brexit MP, he abstained from the vote to invoke Article 50, which would commence the UK's process of withdrawal from the EU, on the grounds that he was respecting his constituents' pro-Remain vote.

Godsiff supported Owen Smith in the latter's failed attempt to replace Jeremy Corbyn in the 2016 Labour leadership election.

During the 2017 election campaign, his local campaign leaflet went viral in the UK due to its slogan "unwanted, unnecessary, opportunistic", which was supposed to be about the snap election called by Theresa May, but appeared, due to the format, to be referring to Godsiff himself. At the election he gained 42,143 votes (77.6%), giving him a majority of 33,944 (62.5%), which was the twelfth largest majority of any UK MP by percentage of constituency vote.

In October 2019, Labour Party members in all four branches of his Hall Green constituency opted to trigger a re-selection process to choose the Labour candidate at the next general election. As a sitting Member of Parliament, Godsiff was automatically entitled to be shortlisted as a potential candidate. Godsiff had indicated that he intended to stand for re-selection.

However, the process was paused due to the election being called that month, resulting in the decision being made by the NEC to not endorse Godsiff and select a new candidate with a local panel.

He stood as an Independent at the 2019 general election and came third. He was succeeded in the seat by Tahir Ali.

Controversy
Andy McSmith's book Faces of Labour (1996), contends that Godsiff obtained selection for his seat in 1992 by dubious means which, although accepted by the Labour Party, were too late to act upon. In 2005, Tribune made similar allegations about his successful bid to stave off deselection, which was only thwarted by the local votes of his former employer, the GMB Union. Godsiff had angered many in his local party by his calls for curbs on immigration.

Godsiff also attracted attention in the 2009 parliamentary expenses scandal, where he was reported as using office expenses for extensive roofing work, rewiring, replacement guttering and even clock repair at a property he owns. He incurred the second highest expenses of all 647 MPs' for 2008/2009 with claims for £189,338.

Further controversy followed when he used images of convicted child sex offender and nursery worker Vanessa George in campaign material for the 2010 election, claiming the Liberal Democrats were seeking for "convicted murderers, rapists and paedophiles to be given the vote", which the Lib Dems denied was their policy. The local campaign was later scrapped.

In 2011, The Guardian declared that, based on his participation in votes, Godsiff was "Britain's laziest MP", being absent from 88% of votes at the start of that year. He had attended less than 50% of parliamentary debates during his whole time in office and refused to take any part in hustings meetings. He responded to the Birmingham Mail about his participation, saying, "when you are in opposition and the government has a substantial majority, you know perfectly well that you aren't going to be able to have an effect on every vote".

Godsiff opposed marriage equality in 2013, saying that he did not want to "[redefine] the current definition of marriage." In May 2019, in the wake of protests in Birmingham over LGBT-inclusive education in primary schools, Godsiff sided with the protestors: "I have concerns about the age appropriateness of children of four and five being introduced to these ideas", he said, later admitting that he had not read the books. Anderton Park Primary School in Sparkhill, which has been at the centre of the row, is in Godsiff's former constituency. He defended his voting record on equality legislation, stating, "I am supportive of the LGBT community. I have consistently voted for all laws pertaining to equality and to defend the rights of everyone to live the lifestyle they choose."

Personal life
Godsiff has been married to Julia Brenda Morris since 1977 and they have a son and a daughter.

He is a lifelong supporter of Charlton Athletic F.C. and was previously the chairman of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust, which oversees the club's community work. He resigned from this position on 26 June 2019 following the controversy surrounding his support for the anti-LGBT protesters in Birmingham.

He was born in Brechin, Ontario. McCuaig worked 13 years in the Cobalt silver mine before moving west around 1912, settling in the Eastend, Saskatchewan area. He served as reeve for White Valley. McCuaig was married twice: to Audra "Molly" Anderson in 1905 and to Ethel Glassford in 1940 after his first wife's death. He died of heart failure at the age of 78.


Jerry Berger

Jerry Berger (born June 30, 1933) is an American former press agent, journalist and public relations (PR) practitioner. He was famous in the St. Louis, Missouri community by writing a column for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and later with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Early Biography
Berger was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Julius Berger and Rae Cohen. He has Hungarian-Jewish ancestry on his father's side and Russian-Jewish ancestry on his mother's side.  He graduated from Soldan-Blewett High School in St. Louis. His career ambition was to be a pharmacist.

Career

Just barely out of his teens, Berger was employed by the local branch of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a booker of films, while simultaneously entering management at the local Loew's Theatres.  Subsequently, he joined 20th Century-Fox Film Corporation as Midwest advertising-publicity manager. His career then took off, when he became one of five young employees chosen by company chairman Darryl F. Zanuck to train as future leaders of the company.

The launch-pad for Berger was an appointment as advertising publicity manager of 20th Century-Fox's far-flung operations in the Republic of South Africa, the Rhodesias and East Africa. He headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. After some time, he returned to the states to fill a marketing position at 20th Century-Fox's New York headquarters. He eventually accepted an offer of a marketing position with Paramount Pictures. He worked both in New York and Hollywood. His marketing expertise was employed on such motion pictures as "Barefoot in the Park" and Otto Preminger's "Hurry, Sundown" and "Advise and Consent." Berger also worked with legendary producer Hal Wallis on "Becket". However, Berger struck up a close friendship with Otto Preminger, who once visited Berger, when the latter returned to St. Louis.

He was also a press agent and publicist with such personalities as Joan Crawford, Rock Hudson, Leonard Bernstein, Liza Minnelli, Arthur Rubinstein, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Betty Grable, Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, and Rudolf Nureyev, among others.

In 1968, Berger returned to St. Louis, where he joined the 12,000-seat Municipal Opera as operations director. Ten years later, he accepted the position as people columnist with the now-defunct St. Louis Globe-Democrat. After the newspaper folded, he joined the Pulitzers' St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where he continued to write daily columns and features for 24 years, while sporadically broadcasting entertainment reviews on television and Hollywood gossip on KMOX Radio, the CBS affiliate.

He retired in 2004 and added a new credit to his dossier - marketing consultant.

In 2009, Berger was banned from the Post-Dispatch building for inappropriately touching co-workers.

In 2013, Berger pled guilty to sexual misconduct, following an incident in which he groped a man in a check-out line.


Northumberland Gazette

The Northumberland Gazette is a weekly newspaper published in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. It serves Alnwick, Amble, Seahouses, Rothbury, Wooler and outlying districts.

The Gazette typically covers local news, sport, leisure and farming issues. It also prints opinion pieces, reader letters, and classified advertisements, and contains a property and real estate pull-out section. Its publisher, Northeast Press, is a division of Johnston Press plc.

History
The newspaper was founded by William Davison of Alnwick in 1854 as the Alnwick Mercury, an 8-page penny monthly. After Davison died in 1858, the business passed to his son, who sold it to Henry Hunter Blair in 1859. By 1864 it was a 4-page weekly. Historical copies of the Alnwick Mercury, dating back to 1854, are available to search and view in digitised form at The British Newspaper Archive.

In 1883 the paper merged with the Alnwick and County Gazette as an 8-page penny weekly, the politically Conservative Alnwick and County Gazette and Alnwick Mercury. It continued the numbering of the Mercury. In 1924 the newspaper incorporated the Alnwick Guardian, becoming the Alnwick and County Gazette and Guardian. The title changed to the Northumberland and Alnwick Gazette in 1943, and to the Northumberland Gazette in 1947. For most of its history it has been in the same ownership as the South Shields daily evening newspaper, the Shields Gazette.

For several years the paper was published in several editions covering different districts in east Northumberland, including one for Berwick upon Tweed from no later than 1972 until 1984 or after, one for Morpeth from at least 1946 until 1992, from 1972 under the masthead Morpeth Gazette, for Rothbury and Wooler from about 1954 to 1957, a Wooler edition until 1972 or after, and a Ponteland edition from 1974 to 1992, in latter years under the masthead Ponteland Gazette. This pattern ended in 1992 when the Gazette's publisher, Northeast Press (then part of Portsmouth and Sunderland Newspapers) bought the Alnwick Advertiser (established in 1979) and the Morpeth Herald from the Tweeddale Press Group. The Advertiser was incorporated in the Gazette and the Morpeth and Ponteland editions of the Gazette ended.

Move to premium content
The paper's parent group, Johnston Press, decided to use the Northumberland Gazette as its first news site for accessing its premium content online. This scheme was abandoned.

On 31 May 2012 the Gazette, hitherto a broadsheet, was part of the first wave of Johnston Press titles to be relaunched in one of five uniform tabloid formats.

Charge (youth)

During the European Middle Ages, a charge often meant an underage person placed under the supervision of a nobleman. Charges were the responsibility of the nobleman they were charged to, and they were usually expected to be treated as guests or a member of the household. Charges were at times used more or less openly as hostages, in order to keep their parents in line.

Today, the word is still used to mean anyone that a person is responsible for, such as a parent or chaperone's children, a supervisor's employees, a teacher's students, or a nurse or doctor's patients.

Tulane

Sources:

The Nashville Banner gave this report of the Commodores departure from Nashville:

"November 14 -- The Vanderbilt football squad left Thursday night for New Orleans. The regular varsity team except for staunch quarterback Frank Kyle boarded the train for the longest, hardest trip of the year. Kyle was left behind with a lame back. Those making the trip are: Perry, Morgan, Graham, Massey, Lawler, Bryan, Howell, Blake, Hamilton, Harris, Love, Tigert, Capt. Davis, Edgerton, Coach Watkins, Manager Buckley, Assistant Manager Creighton, Dr. W. L. Dudley, Doswell Brown, Martin, Wade, Williamson, Barr and Dunbar. The boys will play Tulane Saturday and L.S.U. Monday."

Joe Howell replaced Kyle.

The Banner gave this report on the Tulane game played on Saturday, November 15:

"About 8,000 spectators witnessed the easy victory of Vanderbilt over Tulane Saturday, the score being 23 to 5. It was the largest crowd of the season. The playing of the Vanderbilt team in the first half was fast and furious, and a score of 23 was made. Tulane was saved from a goose egg by the drop kick of Westerfield from the 35-yard line.

"In the second half the game was close. Blake took the place of Davis, and Wade that of Perry. The aim of the Vanderbilt boys seemed only to hold the score. The weather was very hot, and made it especially hard on the visitors. Vanderbilt outclassed Tulane in weight and skill, and did not have much trouble in making their gains. The star players for Vanderbilt were Howell, Davis, Bryan and Hamilton.

"The feature of the game was Howell's 95-yard run. He advanced the ball from the kick off, and almost every Tulane man made a tackle at him. Davis, as usual, made his gains and two long runs. Bryan was in the game from the start, and did good work. Hamilton made two touchdowns. He bundled the Tulane line for one of them, which was a pretty piece of work. Though Westerfield is a good sprinter, Tigert's punts equaled his every time.

"Tulane has a gritty team, and though they played against odds, they improved as the game went on, and did their best to the end. The score does not show the relative merits of the two teams, because Kyle and Edgerton being out weakened the Vanderbilt team. Tulane was amazed at the quickness of Vanderbilt and while the Vanderbilt boys regret the score, it was not one to grieve over. Tulane only tried the drop kick as a last resort when they despaired of reaching the goal otherwise."

LSU

Sources:

The Banner gave this report on the Monday, November 17 game in Baton Rouge against LSU:

"Vanderbilt defeated Louisiana State University, 27 to 5, yesterday. It was an ideal day and about 1,000 people witnessed the game. A place kick only saved Louisiana State University from a whitewash. The game was lacking in interest, for Vanderbilt displayed her superiority so strongly that Louisiana was outclassed.

"Louisiana State University kicked off and Vanderbilt advanced the ball steadily for a touch-down. This was repeated, Tigert making the two touchdowns. Louisiana State University got the ball only once in the first half and lost on downs. At the end of the half the score stood 11 to 0.

"Vanderbilt kicked off and Louisiana State University lost on downs in the second half. The visitors advanced the ball for a touchdown. Davis failed, in kicking a goal. Louisiana State University seemed to be very weak. Vanderbilt made her gains every time, and only lost the ball on fumbles. Louisiana State University never advanced far before losing on downs, they were entirely outclassed in weight and skill. It is hard to say who were the star players for Vanderbilt. Every man played a good game. The playing of Edgerton, Davis, Tigert, and Lawler deserves special notice. For Louisiana State University the playing of Sales, deserves notice.

"The Vanderbilt boys are sore over the treatment they received. The Louisiana State University team couldn't take defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. They claimed that Vanderbilt knew their signals and made uncomplimentary remarks from their sidelines, and altogether the treatment was not as good as the team expected. Vanderbilt played a harder game than at Tulane, and Louisiana State University has a much better team than Tulane. Vanderbilt played a much faster game than Louisiana State University and every trick was a success. Louisiana State University depended entirely on straight football and never succeeded in working any trick.

"The teams were entertained with an elegant dinner after the game by Mr. W. P. Connell, and the University Athletic Association invited the two teams to a theatre party."

The Banner also gave this report on Vanderbilt winning the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association's (S.I.A.A.) championship after defeating LSU:

"Vanderbilt University defeated Louisiana State University here yesterday by the score of 27 to 5; winning the championship of the South intercollegiate athletic association. Vanderbilt made it points on five touchdowns three by Edgerton and two by Tigert. Davis kicked goal twice. The feature of the game was the goal kicked by Landry of Louisiana from the forty-yard line. Time of halves, 25 minutes."

In the same Banner edition, the resignation of Coach Watkins was announced:

"The rumor that Coach Watkins will discontinue his connection with the Vanderbilt Athletic Association at the close of the present season is creating such interest in football circles. It is reliably stated that Mr. Watkins will resign his position as head coach of the Vanderbilt football and baseball teams in order that he devote attention to the study of law exclusively.

"Walter H. Watkins is the most successful coach who has trained a team in the South for years. He has had charge of the Vanderbilt team for two years, and both years won the championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The year previously he coached the Auburn team through the most successful season that the institute has experienced on the gridiron in its history. Last spring he coached the Vanderbilt baseball team and was remarkably successful with indifferent and untrained material, winning a large majority. Of the games played. He is an indefatigable worker and has the idea of amateur athletics developed to a clear-out and scientific fashion.

"Walter H. Watkins is a graduate of the Princeton class of '99. He was one of the stars on the baseball team, was prominent in track work and was first substitute on the football team for two years. His loss will be a hard blow to Vanderbilt, as his place will be hard to fill. It is understood that Vanderbilt will make an effort to secure the services of Coach Neil Snow, provided he is not retained by the University of Nashville."

Sewanee

Sources:

Overconfident, Vanderbilt was drubbed by rival Sewanee 11–5. Vanderbilt did not score until the second half, when John Edgerton scored the first touchdown on the Tigers since 1897. Sewanee played desperately, and Henry D. Phillips went over for the winning touchdown.

The starting lineup was: Williamson (left end), Lawler (left tackle), Morgan (left guard), Perry (center), Graham (right guard), Massey (right tackle), Bryan (right end), Howell (quarterback), Davis (left halfback), Tigert (right halfback), Edgerton (fullback).

Hermanspann Chinook

The Hermanspann Chinook is an American mid-wing, two-seat, experimental research glider that was designed and constructed by Fred Hermanspann and Art Penz.

Design and development
The Chinook and its improved variant, the Chinook S, have been used to study the effect of rain on airfoils and  also stall dynamics.

The aircraft is predominantly made from aluminium with the cockpit area made from fiberglass. Its  span high aspect ratio wing employs a Wortmann FX67-K-170/17 airfoil. Glidepath control is via hydraulically operated trailing edge flaps that deflect 80°. The landing gear consists of hydraulically retractable nose gear and main gear. The vertical stabilizer is highly swept.

The improved Chinook S features an improved wing tip design, system and structure refinements and a BRS-1200 ballistic parachute.

Only one Chinook was constructed and it was registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Operational history
In March 2015 the Chinook was still registered with the FAA to Hermanspann.

After the conclusion of a number of research projects including about rain effects, performance measurements and stall dynamics, the sailplane was being employed extensively through 2015 for cross-country flying, having made a total of five crossings of the Cacscade mountains and having set four Washington state soaring records.

Variants
Chinook
Original configuration, first flown in 1993.
Chinook S
Improved configuration, first flown in 1996.

Cessna 620

The Cessna Model 620 was a prototype American pressurized eight to 10 seat business airplane powered by four piston engines and built by Cessna.  First flight was on 11 August 1956. Only one example (c/n 620, N620E) was built.

The airplane's model number is an inside joke, as it indicates the 620 is twice the airplane that a Cessna 310 is.

A promotional film titled Eye to the Sky was produced as a recruiting tool for new engineers. The 620 was canceled the day after it was first shown to students at Wichita State University.

Development
The Cessna 620 was conceived as an executive transport with design goals that included all-weather capabilities, a pressurized and air-conditioned cabin, a multi-engine layout for safety, a reasonable price and 8 to 10 seats. The project commenced in September 1953, with first flight of the prototype, registered N620E (construction number 620) on 11 August 1956, the test pilots reporting that the aircraft had met its goals.

With the airlines set to re-equip with the then-new jet airliners, Cessna management identified that surplus propeller-driven airliners would soon flood the used aircraft market, driving prices down. A cost analysis indicated that the model 620 would be smaller and cost more than the surplus airliners and thus was not economically viable. The project was cancelled in October 1957, one aircraft having been completed. The airplane was eventually sold for scrap.

Agrippa Menenius Lanatus

Agrippa Menenius Lanatus (died 493 BC), sometimes called Menenius Agrippa, was a consul of the Roman Republic in 503 BC, with Publius Postumius Tubertus. He was victorious over the Sabines and was awarded a triumph which he celebrated on 4 April, 503 BC.  According to Livy, he also led Roman troops against the Latin town of Pometia.

According to Livy, writing five hundred years after the fact, Menenius was chosen by the patricians during the secession of the plebs in 494 BC to persuade the plebs to end their secession. Livy says that Menenius told the soldiers a fable about the parts of the human body and how each has its own purpose in the greater function of the body. The rest of the body thought the stomach was getting a free ride so the body decided to stop nourishing the stomach. Soon, the other parts became fatigued and unable to function so they realized that the stomach did serve a purpose and they were nothing without it. In the story, the stomach represents the patrician class and the other body parts represent the plebs. Eventually, Livy says, an accord was reached between the patricians and the plebs, which included creating the office of tribune of the plebs.

It is not improbable that Saint Paul, an educated Roman citizen, knew this story (not necessarily through Livy) and was prompted by it in his use of the same parable when he admonished the Christians of Corinth that, for all their "diversity of gifts", they were all members of one body (I Cor. 12: 13 ff). However, the imagery was not new, even for Livy. It appears in Xenophon's Memorabilia (2.iii.18) and in Cicero's De Officiis (III.v.22).

One puzzle about Menenius concerns his social status: Was he patrician or plebeian? Livy asserts that he was "an eloquent man and dear to the plebeians as being one of themselves by birth." On the other hand, he was sent to the plebs as a representative of the Senate, and furthermore he had held the office of consul. The consulship, according to the traditional historiography, was at this time reserved strictly for patricians. Ancient accounts of early Roman history are compromised by uneven use of sources, the author's bias toward either senatorial or popular interests, and sheer uncertainty. The existence of the "plebeian" and "patrician" social division in the earliest period of Rome's history has been questioned by modern scholars.

Menenius died in 493 BC.  Livy records that during his life he had been beloved of both the senate and the plebs (particularly the latter since his involvement in ending their secession).  As his estate lacked funds to pay for his funeral, the people contributed to his funeral expenses by way of a levy.

Menenius had a son who would become consul in 439 BC.
