title: Gundlach-Grosse House

text:
The Gundlach-Grosse House is a historic house located at 625 N. Main St. in Columbia, Illinois. The Greek Revival house was built in 1857 for German immigrants John and Philip Peter Gundlach. The brothers ran a local brewery which remained in their family for four generations, and John Gundlach served as Columbia's mayor for four years. The house is a 1 ½-story brick building; its corbeled brick frieze is representative of the decorative brickwork commonly designed by German immigrant builders. The entrance to the house features a classical pediment supported by Ionic columns and cast iron pilasters. Two windows with broken scroll pedimented lintels are situated on each side of the door. The house's gable roof features three gabled dormers on the front and back sides.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1978.

title: Patrick James Byrne

text:
Patrick James Byrne, M.M. (October 26, 1888 – November 25, 1950) was an American-born Catholic missionary and Bishop. As a member of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America (Maryknoll), he was assigned for missions in Korea and Japan. He served as the Prefect Apostolic of Pyongyang from 1927 to 1929, Prefect Apostolic of Kyoto from 1937 to 1940, Apostolic Visitor to Korea from 1947 to 1949, and the Apostolic Delegate to Korea from 1949 to 1950. He died under the custody of the Communists in Korea.

Early life
Born in Washington, D.C., Patrick Byrne was educated by the Sulpicians at St. Charles College in Ellicott City, Maryland, and St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore. He was ordained as priest for the Archdiocese of Baltimore on June 23, 1915.

Priest
A week after he was ordained, Byrne was given permission by Cardinal James Gibbons to enter Maryknoll. He served the community in a variety of capacities.  He supervised construction projects at Maryknoll and at Scranton, Pennsylvania, and then served as the rector of both seminaries. He was the editor of Field Afar, and he served as the community's Vicar General and treasurer.

In 1923 Byrne organized the first Maryknoll Mission to Korea. On November 9, 1927, Pope Pius XI named him the Prefect Apostolic of Pyongyang. In 1929 he was a delegate to the first General Chapter of Maryknoll and he was elected the Assistant Superior General. He resigned his position as Prefect Apostolic on August 12, 1929, to take up his new responsibilities. In 1935 Byrne reentered the mission field, this time in Kyoto, Japan. Pope Pius XI named him the Prefect Apostolic of Kyoto on June 18, 1937. He resigned this office on October 10, 1940, in favor of a Japanese priest. Because of his charitable reputation he was not imprisoned during the Second World War, but held under house arrest. He made radio broadcasts on behalf of the United States Army to calm the Japanese people as the Americans occupied Japan at the conclusion of the war.

Bishop
Pope Pius XII appointed Byrne Apostolic Visitor of the Holy See to Korea on July 17, 1947. On April 7, 1949, Pope Pius named him the Titular Bishop of Gazera and the first Apostolic Delegate to Korea. Byrne was consecrated a bishop on June 14, 1949, by Auxiliary Bishop of New York Thomas McDonnell. The principal co-consecrators were Bishops Paul Marie Kinam Ro, Apostolic Vicar of Seoul, and Andrien-Joseph Larribeau, Apostolic Vicar emeritus of Seoul.

He was in Seoul when North Korea forces invaded South Korea in June 1950 and occupied the city. He was arrested by the Communists on July 2, 1950, and put on trial. He was placed on a march that went through the former Maryknoll Mission territory to the Yalu River. Byrne was put of trial again in Pyongyong and was forced on another march that lasted four months. The weather was bad and there was little food or shelter. Byrne came down with pneumonia and died on November 25, 1950, at the age of 62. He was buried by fellow prisoner, Monsignor Thomas F. Quinlan, S.S.C, who was the Prefect Apostolic of Chuncheon.

title: Ibrahim I ibn Marzuban I

text:
Ibrahim I ibn Marzuban I (died 983) was the Sallarid ruler of Dvin (957–979) and later Azerbaijan (962–966 and 966–979). He was the son and successor of Marzuban ibn Muhammad.

Biography
Marzuban ibn Muhammad had designated his brother Wahsudan ibn Muhammad as his successor. When he came to Azerbaijan, however, the commanders of the fortresses refused to surrender to him, recognizing instead Marzuban's son Justan I ibn Marzuban I as his successor. Unable to establish his rule in the province, Wahusdan returned to Tarum; Justan was recognized as ruler in Azerbaijan, with his brother Ibrahim made governor of Dvin. Justan seems to have been interested primarily in his harem, a fact which alienated some of his supporters, although he and Ibrahim successfully put down a revolt by a grandson of the caliph al-Muktafi in 960.

Shortly afterwards Justan and another brother, Nasir, came to Tarum, where they were treacherously imprisoned by Wahsudan, who sent his son Ismail ibn Wahsudan to take over Azerbaijan. Ibrahim raised an army in Armenia to oppose Isma'il, prompting Wahsudan to execute Justan, his mother and Nasir. Ibrahim was driven out of Azerbaijan by Isma'il, but retained his rule in Dvin.

Isma'il died in 962, however, allowing Ibrahim to occupy Azerbaijan. He then invaded Tarum and forced Wahsudan to flee to Dailaman. In 966 Ibrahim was defeated by an army of Wahsudan's and his soldiers subsequently deserted him. He fled to his brother-in-law, the Buyid Rukn al-Dawla, while Wahsudan installed his son Nuh ibn Wahsudan in Azerbaijan. Rukn al-Dawla sent an army under his vizier Abu 'l-Fadl ibn al-'Amid to reinstate Ibrahim in Azerbaijan, and Wahsudan was ejected from Tarum for a time. In 967 however he again sent an army, which burnt Ardabil before Ibrahim concluded a peace with his uncle, ceding part of Azerbaijan to him. In 968 he reaffirmed Sallarid authority over Shirvan, forcing the Shirvanshah to pay him tribute.

Ibrahim's authority began to decline in the latter part of his reign. In 971 the Shaddadids took Ganja, and Ibrahim was forced to recognize their rule in that city after a siege failed to dislodge them. In around 979 he was deposed and imprisoned; he died in 983. His deposition marked the end of the Sallarids as a major power in Azerbaijan, as the Rawadids of Tabriz overran much of the province. The successor of Ibrahim, Marzuban II ibn Ismail, managed to retain a small portion of Azerbaijan until 984 when he was captured by the Rawadids.

title: Kimberley Locke discography

text:
The discography of American singer-songwriter Kimberley Locke consists of five studio albums, one extended play, one compilation album, nineteen singles, and eight music videos.

Following her top three finish on the second season of American Idol in 2003, Kimberley was signed to a recording deal with Curb Records.  Her debut album, One Love, was released on May 4, 2004, and entered the Billboard 200 chart at number sixteen. The album spawned four singles including the top-40 hit "8th World Wonder".

Locke's second album, Based on a True Story, was released on May 1, 2007. While first week sales did not match those of her first album, debuting at number 160 on the Billboard 200, it contained several successful singles.  Curb began including dance remix packages with each of the single releases, each hitting number one on the Billboard dance charts. All three went on to be included in the top 40 year-end dance charts  and the album's second single, a cover of the Freda Payne classic "Band of Gold" was featured at number 45 on Billboard's best dance songs of the decade list.

Later that same year, Locke released her holiday album, Christmas, on November 6, 2007.  This was her third and last album with Curb Records.  As with her previous releases, this album contained several successful singles.  The first and most successful single, "Up on the House Top," quickly reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, a spot it held for four weeks.  This was the fifth song in the history of the chart to reach number one in only three weeks on this chart and the first number one for the Curb label in eight years. The next two singles from the album, "Jingle Bells" and "Frosty the Snowman" also went number one on this chart.

In 2010, Locke teamed up with American Idol judge Randy Jackson and his new dance label, Dream Merchant 21, to release her first independent single, "Strobelight."  The following year she decided to form her own label, I AM Entertainment, and immediately started working on her next project. The dance-themed EP, Four for the Floor, was released on July 19, 2011. The only single, "Finally Free," which Locke had co-written with fellow American Idol alum Ace Young, was promoted the following summer accompanied by a music video and remix package and reached number 35 on the dance chart.

In 2013, she teamed up with UK production team Cahill for her latest single "Feel the Love," which she had co-written with long-time collaborator Damon Sharpe. The single scored her first international number one hit, topping both the UK club and pop charts and reaching number 29 on the global dance charts.

In 2021, she released two more studio albums.  Her first album of Children's music, You're My Baby, was released in May and her second album of Christmas music, Christmas Is Here, on which she teamed up with the band EMP3 was released in September.

title: Charles Moran (railroad executive)

text:
Charles Moran (October 31, 1811 – July 22, 1895) was an American business man and president of the Erie Railroad from 1857 to 1859.

Biography
Charles Moran was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1811. He came to New York City while a young man and engaged in business, becoming in time senior partner in the dry-goods commission and importing house of Moran & Iselin. This firm was dissolved in 1852, Mr. Moran retiring. He had won an enviable reputation as a careful and successful business man, and as his bent was toward finance, he founded the New York banking-house of Moran Bros. The foreign correspondence of the house was particularly extensive and of high class, which fact gave Mr. Moran extraordinary opportunity for the placing of American loans abroad.

It was his success in this way in 1856, with a large Erie loan, that made him a conspicuous figure in railroad financiering, and turned the attention of the Erie toward him in a time of emergency, and induced it to call him to the management of its critical affairs. He became president of the company on the eve of the great financial upheaval of 1857, the disastrous effects of which harassed and hampered his earnest efforts in the herculean task he had undertaken, all through his two years' administration. Few men would have faced the obstacles he encountered, much less have attempted to overcome them. Mr. Moran retired from the Erie management, August 1859, and gave his entire attention to his banking business. In the later portion of his life Moran lived at 12 East 53rd Street in New York City. He continued as senior partner of Moran Bros until his death, July 22, 1895. Charles Moran had two sons, Amedee Depau Moran and D. Comyn Moran, who succeeded him in his banking business.

Work

Election as director in 1854

In 1854 Charles Moran, broker and private banker, and Louis Von Hoffman, private banker, both from New York City, were elected among the sixteen directors of the New York and Erie Company. This election was in recognition of the interests of foreign creditors of the company, Moran having placed a large amount of the company's unsecured, or income, bonds in Switzerland and other parts of Europe. Moran would soon become one of Homer Ramsdell's confidant.

When in 1854, Ramsdell acquired the land besides water frontage at the Hudson River, where the immense Erie Railroad yards, depots, ferry would be situated, nobody of the board knew except Charles Moran, They thought it was in the best for the interests of the Company that for new railroads, improvements, and lake steam, the matter should not be talked about. The boats. Work on the terminal facilities at Jersey City was begun in 1856. In June of that year the Mallory & Co. of Newburgh for putting the tunnel through Bergen Hill, which would be finished under James P. Kirkwood.

Selection as president
In 1857, misfortune marked Erie, and it was evident that the company's affairs were once more approaching a crisis. This was the situation that confronted the Erie when Charles Moran returned from Europe in July 1857, where he had gone the previous winter to raise loans. Homer Ramsdell had private enterprises of much magnitude, and the increasing depression in the business affairs of the company, he declared, required that he should give them more of his personal attention, and he announced his determination to resign the Presidency of the company. The board of directors had been led to believe that Charles Moran, better than any other person available, could take hold of the company's critical affairs and straighten them out. They notified him of their belief, and solicited him to take charge of the management.

He replied that he would undertake the task, with assurances that he could perform it if the company would pay him $25,000 a year for his services. This was as much as the President of the United States was paid, and an unheard-of salary for the executive head of any corporation. The Board decided, however, that Moran was worth the outlay, and they agreed to his terms. July 18, 1887, William E. Dodge, who was outraged because the Company persisted in permitting work to be done on the railroad on Sunday, resigned from the Board. Moran was chosen in his place, and was unanimously elected president, Mr. Ramsdell continuing as a member of the Board.

It was announced of Mr. Moran in the public prints, upon his election as President of the Erie, that he was a man of high character and integrity, of vigorous mind, and devoted to the study of political economy, which was at the foundation of the success of any work of this description; that he had superior administrative ability, and that his election would give great satisfaction to all true friends of the enterprise, both at home and abroad. All this about Mr. Moran was undoubtedly true, but within the next two years he was to learn by bitter experience that it required something more than devotion to the study of political economy to be at the foundation of the success of such a work as the New York and Erie Railroad was.

Moran's policy changes

Early in his incumbency, President Moran demonstrated that his policy was to be radically different in the management of the company's affairs from that of any of his predecessors. It had been the custom, as a bid for new business and an inducement to retain old, to issue free passes to drovers who accompanied their cattle to market on the stock trains, and to "freighters." who controlled produce shipments in those days. There were about 160 persons receiving these free tickets, and the issuing of them had been regarded as good business policy by all managements up to the Moran control. Moran did not believe it was a sound business principle, and he abolished the free pass system at once. He also dispensed with agencies, runners, advertisements, and all such methods of increasing the company's business.

Money was necessary to carry forward the improvements the company had then in hand, but which were being delayed by lack of funds, so a scheme for a fourth mortgage loan was announced early in August 1857. It was proposed to raise $3,000,000 by creating a stock for $6,000,000, half to be paid in cash and half in the unsecured bonds of the company. The object of the loan was to fund the debt of the company, and to obtain means to continue the construction of the Bergen tunnel, the depots, wharves and other improvements of the Long Dock property. It was calculated that the debt of the company would be increased but about $1,000,000 by this plan.

It was a discouraging time for negotiating loans, however, even on the most approved security, for it was at the height of the panic of 1857 when banks were failing by the score, and the oldest business houses were trembling on the verge of bankruptcy; but President Moran and his associates went to work- in earnest to place the new bonds. The unsecured bonds of the company were low in the market being then quoted at about thirty-five and the terms of the new issue were favorable, but investors ignored it.

A meeting of the stock and bondholders held at No. 13 Broad Street, New York, September 23, 1857. For the purpose of inducing them to subscribe for the new loan. President Moran made an address which is to-day a graphic and in some respects an amusing – exhibit of the company's situation and tribulations in that critical year. He began by presenting a statement of the financial condition of the company (see image).

December 1857 Strike
The most important difficulty the road had to contend with, Moran explained in 1857, was the engineers' strike of the fall of 1856:
... Owing to a policy which occupied itself with minutiae to the exclusion of the main chance, the best set of engineers ever gathered in this country was dispersed. They spread reports all over the country unfavorable to the Erie road; they said it was served by incompetent engineers, by mere boys, and what they said was in part true. The strike was followed by a December and a January change in weather by which the road was blocked by snows, and an inundation in February which destroyed the most important bridges on the line. Constant rains kept the road in a state of liquefaction until July, and the result of all this was that during the first six months of the present fiscal year there had been a diminution of receipts of $534,000, and an increase of expenditure of $482,000, leaving a comparative balance against the Company of $1,016,000. Notwithstanding this loss the road has gone ahead within the last two years between four hundred and five hundred thousand dollars. If, under such unfavorable circumstances as these, such results could be obtained, what would they not be when the large crops of this year came in, and when economical and active management had made the road as productive as possible?

By the end of the year on Tuesday, December 1, 1887, by order of President Charles Moran, a reduction of wages and salaries of employees went into effect, owing to the hard times and the critical condition There were 250 laborers at the pier at Piermont, handling freight. They were divided into night and day gangs, and were known as laborers, checkers, tally clerks, porters, and stowers. Their pay had been $1 per day. It was reduced to 90 cents for eleven hours' work. Six hours were reckoned half a day's work. Steady men could make from $25 to $30 a month at the old wages.

President Moran was getting a salary of $25,000 a year, and it was current all along the railroad that, owing to financial straits the company was in, he was taking no chances, but was collecting his salary, pro rata, every day. When his order to reduce wages and salaries was issued, inquiry was made by the men as to whether the president hid submitted to a reduction in his own great stipend. When it was learned that he had not, the feeling was bitter, and the laborers at the Piermont docks protested against the cut in their wages and quit work. The brakemen on that division of the railroad joined the laborers, as did the laborers along the division. Traffic came to a standstill. The strike was broken later that week by Metropolitan policemen and Piermont Guards. These strikes would eventually cost the Company half a million to a million dollars.

Bankruptcy and resignation
The last "Address of the Directors of the New York and Erie Railroad Company to the Stockholders", early 1859 gave an impression of the depressing situation, stating with:

"The depression in the market value of the Shares and Bonds of the New York and Erie R. R. Company, increasing from month to month and from week to week, indicates a fear that the whole stock may in a short time be lost, and some of the unsecured debt share the same fate. These fears are not without foundation, but they may by energetic proceedings be removed. It is evidently to the forbearance of the Creditors that the Company owes its continued existence. This lenity must grow out of the belief that there is a real, though at present unavailable, value in the property of the Company, which in time will again become apparent..."

The address further gives an overview of companies development in the 1850s, and continued to stipulate its decline, and its origins:

"...remembering as they may, that for four years, commencing on 1 October 1852, when the trains first ran through from Jersey City to Dunkirk, and ending September 30, 1856, the earnings over all working expenses paid the interest on the debts, and left a surplus more than sufficient to pay full interest to the Stockholders; though 'part of that surplus went to the general improvements. The figures and facts are not to be found in any one publication,' and therefore may with advantage be collected here, as the commencement of an attempt to understand the real condition of the Company's affairs."
"The 30 September 1856, marks the culminating point in the success of the Company. The road was good, and its equipments in cars, locomotives and every thing necessary for doing a large business, were nearly all that could be desired. From thence, its decline may be dated. The old and experienced enginemen were at that time discharged. Those substituted for them, though competent and careful, could not at once run the trains as economically as had before been usual. But they acquitted themselves well. No accident happened to car or passenger in the months of October, November and December; and the earnings of the road for that period, being the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1857, amounted to $1,605,582.42, a. sum which with one exception had never been exceeded in the same quarter. It left, after paying all working expenses and interest on the bonded and floating debt, as net surplus earnings, $207,447.53. After this, the real decline began, with a hard winter, destructive spring freshets, and imaginary improvements by a new President..."

This Address continued with more recent events, but couldn't turn the tide. Up to August 1859, of the loan only $1,253,500 had been taken. The hopeless state of entanglement in the affairs of the Company culminated on the 4th of that month in the recovery of a judgment against it for $35,000 default in sinking fund bonds, and an execution was issued the same day. Other suits were pending in which the same questions were involved, and it became plain that if the bondholders wished to protect the property of the corporation, and hold it together against a reorganization, some steps must be taken at once.

Proceedings were begun by the trustees of the fourth mortgage, default having also been made on the first, second, third, and fifth mortgages. On motion thus made, Nathaniel Marsh, Secretary of the company, was appointed Receiver by Judge Mason of Chenango County. He took possession of the road on August 16, 1859. On the 19th the Directors made a large reduction in President Moran's salary. On the 27th he resigned as president, and retired from the Directory. Samuel Marsh was elected president to succeed him. When Moran left the capital stock of the company was $11,000,000 and the bonded debt $36,783,650 (see image).

Erie stock in July 1857, when the Moran administration began, was quoted at thirty-three and one-third. In August 1859, when the Moran administration ended, the stock was wavering at eight. That Charles Moran made earnest and conscientious endeavor to extricate the company from its troubles and start it forward on a successful career it would be unjust to doubt. According to Mott (1899; p. 129) "his ability to do so had been simply misjudged and overrated – and by nobody more than by himself."

Money, 1863

In 1851 Moran had published in the local press some of his views in regard to the relative value of gold and silver, and the effects of the large influx of gold from new mines. In the 1860s he further developed these ideas in discussions at the meetings of the Society for the Advancement of Political and Social Science in New York City. This gradually assumed the form of a work, which is an attempt to analyze and discuss the subject of money, in its most important, practical phases. Moran wanted to describe this subject more fully than has been done in any of the works that have, and explain and reconcile all the anomalies that, heretofore, have rendered money so vexed a subject.

His 1863 book "Money" build on his earlier publications. Moran further explains, that "every prediction then made on this subject has been fully realized, while not one of those made by the partisans of the theory of the future depreciation of gold and appreciation of silver has been fulfilled. The conclusions in regard to the effect on prices, of bank-note issues, were arrived at and communicated to friends long before reading trie able works of Fullarton and Tooke, in which similar views are maintained. This is mentioned here, not so much to claim the merit of originality for these conclusions, as with a view to obtain for them the weight due to conclusions arrived at by different parties, examining the same subject from different points of view."

A late 1863 review in British Westminster Review, commented, that "Mr. Moran's Essay on Money is but another added to the heap of such publications as have long since tired all human patience. Writers of his school will never be brought to recognise the difference between currency and credit. Their theory is, that because credit is the basis of all extended commerce, the banking system of a country should be so constituted as to come to the rescue of a credit destroyed by injudicious investments in times of overtrading and speculation..."

Owner of the Nevada and California Railroad
The Nevada and Oregon Railroad, a narrow-gauge line found in 1882 building from north from Reno was sold to their largest investor, the Moran Brothers, a group of New York investors, at foreclosure in 1884 and operated unofficially as the Nevada and California Railroad. In 1893 the Moran Brothers sold the railroad and it was reorganized as the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway.  His presence in Lassen County, California continues to this day with the namesake town/place of Moran bearing his last name as well as Amadee, the name of his son.

title: Outlasting the Blues

text:
Outlasting the Blues is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie, released in June 1979 by Warner Bros. Records (BSK 3336). Produced by John Pilla and recorded from January to March 1979 with Guthrie's touring band Shenandoah, the album consists of songs about mortality, spirituality, love, and the passing of time.

Background
By the late 1970s, Guthrie had lost his father Woody Guthrie to Huntington's chorea, and all four of his older siblings had also died, including two sisters who died of the same disease in their 30s.  As he approached an age when he would find out whether or not he would develop the disease and similarly face an early death (he would not and remains alive and well several decades later), he spent much of his time in serious introspection searching meaning and a way forward. Guthrie, who had been raised in the Jewish faith of his mother, converted to Christianity as a Roman Catholic. Outlasting the Blues consists of several songs in which his newfound faith figures prominently.

In a 2004 interview, Guthrie spoke about spirituality and the role it plays in his life and on Outlasting the Blues.

In 2020, Guthrie described music of faith as the ultimate form of protest music: "If this world ain’t doing it for you, and your hopes are in the next one — you can’t get more protest than that."

Recording and production
Most of the songs on Outlasting the Blues were written and recorded during the first three months of 1979. Guthrie and producer John Pilla, who had produced Guthrie's successful album Amigo, decided not to record in Los Angeles with session musicians, which had been the approach taken on the artist's previous albums. Instead, Outlasting the Blues was recorded and mixed at Long View Farm Studios in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, close to Guthrie's home. For the recording sessions, Pilla drew upon the talents of Guthrie's touring band, Shenandoah, and members of a local string orchestra. Recording needed to be complete by the end of March in time for Guthrie's upcoming European tour in the spring.

Release and promotion
Outlasting the Blues was released in the United States in June 1979. Unlike his recent albums, which were released with relatively little promotion, Outlasting the Blues was aggressively marketed by Warner Bros., who arranged numerous interviews with high-profile media outlets in the first months after the release. On July 20, Guthrie and his touring band Shenandoah performed a concert in West Hempstead, Long Island, New York, which was broadcast live in its entirety on WLIR-FM. The following night, July 21, they performed at the Dr. Pepper Music Festival at the Wollman Rink in Central Park in New York City—a concert that was broadcast live by WPLJ-FM to more than a million radio listeners. During these shows, Guthrie performed several songs from his new album, including "Prologue", "Which Side", and "Sailing Down My Golden River".

Musical style and composition

Side one
Outlasting the Blues consists of eleven songs, nine of which were written by Guthrie. The first side of the album opens with "Prologue" and the declaration, "In the event of my demise, be sure to include this statement ..." The up-tempo number establishes the album's themes of facing mortality—for Guthrie the very real threat of inherited Huntington's disease—and rejecting the illusions of his past. Looking back on his experiences in the 1960s, Guthrie warns his former companions still clinging to those illusions that they too have been sold in the marketplace of idealism. The idealistic demonstrations, material wealth, drugs—Guthrie has rejected all of these: "Everything then has now passed away, except for the love in my heart."

The minor key rocker "Which Side" begins as a typical 1960s protest song or an old union song, but by the third verse it is clear that the choice presented is a spiritual one involving the soul. Guthrie uses the Biblical scene on Calvary to drive home the point. One of the "local thieves" crucified with Jesus asks what will happen after death, and Jesus responds that it all depends "which side are you on". For Guthrie, the choice is clear: "And me myself I'm satisfied to sing for God's own son". Biblical settings are retained in "Wedding Song", which shifts between the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, the songwriter's own wedding, the wedding of Mary and Joseph, and finally, after years of married life, the singer's preparation to attend another wedding. The healing comfort of married life is captured in casual moments of warm domesticity: "Ain't it something just to lie here in bed, just me and you, outlasting the blues". "World Away from Me" continues the theme of domesticity as a healing sanctuary from a life on the road.
And it's so good to come home to a woman all alone
Forgeting how hard loneliness can be
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me

After establishing that it's "useless to be living without love", Guthrie closes the first side with "Epilogue", a "poignant baring of the soul by a man sure of his faith, if not his future, while at the same time at ease with his past". In this quiet dirge-like ballad, supported by electric piano and acoustic guitar, Guthrie has no regrets about his past as he explores his memories, these "stolen moments from the hourglass".
 And all my memories seem to come alive
 I think of everyone who still survives
 And those who haven't may yet still arrive

Again Guthrie is remembering his former companions with love, hope, and genuine concern for their well-being, and confesses that despite his difficulty through the years sharing his feelings with them, he still loves them. With his future uncertain, Guthrie can only place his faith in God, presented in the image of a "sparrow" (perhaps the Holy Spirit) in the final verse:
 I sit alone and hear the sparrow sing
 No way of knowing what tomorrow brings
 I leave my solitude upon his wings

Side two
The second side of Outlasting the Blues opens with the rollicking up-tempo "Telephone" about the absurd intrusion of technology (and strangers) in the singer's life. "Sailing Down This Golden River", written by Pete Seeger, captures on one level the simple joys of experiencing the natural world. In the context of this album, however, the images of sun and water and distant stars also take on spiritual connotations. The driving rocker "Carry Me Over" presents a prayer to escape the "twisted maze of old highways" of the singer's life on the road and to transcend the loneliness in his life.

Guthrie then transitions to the grave a cappella "Underground", which revisits the theme of mortality:
 There's a river running underground that rolls along the clay
 That took my body when I laid it down and carried it far away
 It's too damned dark for you to see, so I did not protest
 My soul shook free, you can't have me, but you may keep the rest

In "Drowning Man", Guthrie looks back at the point of his conversion and considers his weakness now and the ever-present threat of losing his faith. Despite the promises made at his conversion, the singer finds no solace in that memory. He invokes the Biblical passage of Saint Peter denying Jesus three times:
 I remember when I met you underneath the evening sky
 Now it seems I could forget you, rescue me, I'm bound to die
 I'm going down for the third time and I need a helping hand
 The rooster crows and I'm sinking, heart of stone, drowning man
The singer's plea is honest and filled with urgency.
 It's too late for new beginnings in this world I've left behind
 There is nothing left worth keeping, not a thing to change my mind
 Did you know from the beginning that I'd dig this lousy hole
 Oh, don't leave me here abandoned in this dark night of the soul

Guthrie closes the album with Hoyt Axton's moderate country ballad "Evangeline", which revisits the theme of domesticity and water as a symbol of life and healing.
 I dream in the morning that she brings me water
 And I dream in evening that she brings me wine
 Just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Penasco
 Evangelina in old Mexico

Artwork and packaging
The cover of Outlasting the Blues has a black and white photo in sepia tone of Guthrie dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans, standing in profile, holding a saxophone, and looking out toward the camera. The title of the album is presented in capital letters along the right side of the cover. The original uncropped photo was used in promotional material distributed to the music press, magazines, and newspapers. The back cover has a photo of Guthrie's touring band, Shenandoah, gathered near an open doorway, showing Steve Ide (seated), David Grover (standing), Dan Velika and Carol Ide (standing in the doorway), and Terry A La Berry (partially hidden in shadow). The white album sleeve contains the song lyrics and album credits.

Critical reception

Upon its release in June 1979, Outlasting the Blues received mostly positive reviews. In his review for Rolling Stone magazine, Dave Marsh wrote, "Guthrie finally resolves the tensions between folk and rock, meaning mostly that he has put together some tough music ... to complement some of his most unsettling songs ever". Marsh concluded that Outlasting the Blues was "among the finest records ... [Guthrie] has ever made". The music critic for the Christian Science Monitor wrote, "In a world of cloned Top 40  hits ... every song on this album has the unusual quality of sounding distinctive." In his review for Rolling Stone magazine, Ken Tucker, while criticizing Shenandoah's "bar-band instrumental support", felt the album was a "small masterwork of writing and programming". The album also received some negative reviews at the time. The Montreal Gazette criticized Guthrie's "wretched, grating wailing on most cuts".

In his review for AllMusic, Brett Hartenbach gave the album a mixed review, noting that while the production lacked the vitality of producer John Pilla's earlier Guthrie effort, Amigo, much of the material is "first rate" and that "the first five songs are among Guthrie's best". The central themes of the album are mortality, fate, and the power of religious faith.

Hartenbach concluded that "despite its flaws, there's plenty to admire about Outlasting the Blues, which, at its best, is about as honest and mature as folk or pop songwriting gets". The album received four out of five stars on the AllMusic website.

title: The Houstonian (newspaper)

text:
The Houstonian is a campus newspaper at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). The paper was founded in 1913. CBS News journalist Dan Rather served as editor of the newspaper before his graduation from SHSU in 1953. In 1994, the university named the headquarters of the paper the Dan Rather Communications Building. Before his 2005 retirement, CBS created the Dan Rather Scholarship Fund in honor of the journalist, with preference towards those working at The Houstonian.

The university hired investigative journalist Craig Flournoy in 1997 to both teach journalism at the school and supervise production at The Houstonian. During the 1997-1998 period, the students reported on key issues at the school, including instances of inflated grades by professors, rape occurrences at the school, and a revealing Texas state audit performed on the university.

Prior to her 1997 graduation from SHSU, Jenna Jackson served as editor of The Houstonian. She went on to join CBS News in New York, and won an Emmy Award in 2012 for her work on the television program 48 Hours. Jackson later returned to Texas and advised journalism students at SHSU in the College of Fine Arts and Mass Communication.

History

The Houstonian was founded in 1913 at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). The paper produces two editions per week.

Dan Rather graduated from SHSU in 1953 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism. During 1952, Rather had served as editor of the paper. The Houstonian is headquartered in the Dan Rather Communications Building at SHSU. The university named the building after Rather in 1994. Prior to his 2005 retirement, CBS created a scholarship program at SHSU, titled the Dan Rather Scholarship Fund. The fund was intended for students focusing on studies of journalism. Rather asked CBS to specify that the fund should give students preferential status for selection to the program if they worked either on a volunteer or paid arrangement for The Houstonian.

After graduating from Grayson College in 1967, Don Eldredge went on to further studies at SHSU where he became editor of The Houstonian. Eldredge subsequently became editor of The Herald Democrat in Sherman, Texas.

Craig Flournoy was brought on by SHSU in 1997 both to instruct students in journalism and serve as an advisor for The Houstonian. During the 1997-1998 period, the students reported on key issues at the school, including instances of inflated grades by professors, rape occurrences at the school, and a revealing Texas state audit performed on the university. The Houstonian was first to report that a state audit performed on the university revealed that due to poor supervision from the president, the auditor of the university itself had not performed its task adequately. In response the president of the university both denied there was an issue and simultaneously switched to a different auditor. The students produced 19 articles reporting on incidents of rape at the university. School officials stated that in the previous five years there had been zero rapes reported at the university. Journalists at The Houstonian uncovered information documenting that in the previous 20 months there were seven reports of rape by attendees of SHSU. The paper reported that grade inflation was a significant ongoing issue at the school. The most senior academic official at the university denied there was an issue at the school with grade inflation. One week before this school official gave this statement, seven professors from the communications division of academics at the university (reflecting twenty-five percent of the total faculty in the department) stated they had handed in inflated grades.

Jenna Jackson served as editor of The Houstonian prior to her graduation from SHSU in 1997 with a B.A. in political science and journalism. She went on to work for CBS News in New York. While working at 48 Hours for CBS, she received an Emmy Award in 2012. Jackson came back to Texas and launched P&R Productions, a company focusing on producing films and documentaries. Jackson came back to SHSU to gives talks to students in the College of Fine Arts and Mass Communication.

Kuyk Logan joined SHSU in 2002 to serve as the Philip G. Warner Endowed Chair in Journalism until 2004. Logan came in for the outgoing Ardyth Sohn who had served in the role from 2000. Logan was faculty adviser for The Houstonian in this role. Prior to his appointment, Logan had served at KHOU-TV and the Houston Post as managing editor.

In 2012 the paper was cited by CNN for advice on senioritis, a period of time when upperclassmen in college feel lack of motivation for studies due to impending graduation. CNN noted that the paper advised students to fully utilize resources during their time at the educational institution. The Houstonian recommended students seek out assistance from tutoring services, study in the library, and dedicate themselves to full engagement in the classroom setting.

The editor-in-chief of The Houstonian in 2013 was Stephen Green; he simultaneously worked as a staff reporter for The Huntsville Item. The editor-in-chief of The Houstonian in 2014-2015 is Jay R. Jordan, succeeding previous EIC Connor Hyde.

title: W. Godfrey Wood

text:
W. Godfrey Wood (born 1941, in Brookline, Massachusetts) is an American entrepreneur and sports executive. The son of Wimbledon champion Sidney Wood, Wood studied at Milton Academy and later Harvard University, where he graduated in 1963 and played for the Crimson hockey team. Wood started the Hartford Whalers and the Portland Pirates hockey teams.

Businesses
Wood built his career as a real estate broker for Boston-based firm Land-Vest, and owns six restaurants in southern Maine. He served for 15 years as president and CEO of the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Hockey career
Wood still holds the collegiate season record for lowest goals against average (1.27 GAA, in 1962), as a goalie for Harvard's hockey team. His save percentage of .945 ranks second in all-time NCAA standings (only .001 behind .946). He was the last player cut from the United States team that would play the 1964 Winter Olympics.

In 1971, Wood was one of the founding partners of a World Hockey Association franchise based in New England, along with Howard Baldwin, John Colburn, and William Barnes. Originally known as New England Whalers upon its inception in 1972, the franchise would later be renamed Hartford Whalers when joining the National Hockey League in 1979.

Wood was part of a group that bid for the NHL's Boston Bruins in 1985, and in 1990 served as front man for future Boston Red Sox owner John W. Henry’s unsuccessful Miami expansion bid in the NHL (where the league instead awarded a franchise to Tampa). Wood owned the Nashville Knights of the East Coast Hockey League for several years in the early 1990s.  In 1993 he partnered with Tom Ebright, owner of the American Hockey League’s Baltimore Skipjacks, to move that franchise to Portland, Maine’s Cumberland County Civic Center, and served for three years as general manager to the Portland Pirates. In 1995, Wood created the Roller Hockey InternationalNew England Stingers, who lasted only one season.

He was president of Penguins Attractions, a sports merchandising and holding company in Falmouth, Massachusetts that was affiliated with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Family
Wood's father Sidney won the 1931 Wimbledon Championships, and was later president of a gold mine concern in New York, while his stepfather retired as president of the National Association of Independent Schools in Boston. He has been married three times: to Kate Pillsbury (whose family then owned the Pillsbury Company), with whom he had daughter  Whitney and divorced in 1974; to Deborah Chapin Gray (d. 2005) mother of his children Sidney and Amanda; and since 2008 to Karen Rajotte, publisher of the Portland Phoenix.

title: Cope (Manchester Orchestra album)

text:
Cope is the fourth studio album from Atlanta-based indie rock band Manchester Orchestra. It was released on April 1, 2014 through Loma Vista Recordings and the band's own independent label, Favorite Gentlemen. The album was self-produced alongside their long-time collaborating partner Dan Hannon, and mixed by John Agnello at Fluxivity Studios in Brooklyn. The album's first single, "Top Notch", was released on January 20, 2014. The album's second single, "Every Stone", was released on February 25, 2014.

Recording
In the press release announcing the album's official title and release date, the band provided some further details about the album. It was revealed that Cope was recorded entirely in the band's recently completed home studio, and the album was described as an "unrelenting and unapologetically heavy 38 minutes of rock." Lead singer and songwriter Andy Hull went on to explain the tone of the album: "We wanted to make the kind of album that's missing at this time in rock: something that's just brutal and pounding you over the head every track [...] Whereas Simple Math was a different palate with each song, a different color, I wanted this to be black and red the whole time."

Critical reception

Cope mainly received positive feedback from critics upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 18 reviews, indicating 'generally positive reviews'. In a review for AllMusic, Matt Collar claimed that, "Manchester Orchestra's fourth studio effort, 2014's Cope, is a heavy, often dark, yet incredibly melodic album that finds the Atlanta outfit delving deep into its post-hardcore roots."

At Alternative Press, Brian Shultz rated the album four stars out of five, saying that the band are "appeared to be making the artist natural self-reaction statement when the promised their fourth full-length [...] would be 'brutal', 'pounding' and 'unapologetically heavy' rock record in contrast to the emotional and musical bell curve" of its predecessor, which this even "though appearing far more straightforward to the average listener, certainly delivers just that: it's the band's signature sound, only beefed up with massive choruses, heavy plowing and pleasing anguish". In addition, Shultz closes with "And though it unfortunately eschews the dynamic emotive crests and space of past efforts in favor of MO's intensely urgent intent, the results make it a completely worthy addition to an alt-rock catalog."

Miles Raymer of Entertainment Weekly stated that the album "combined indie rock melodicism with hard rock heft."

Rhian Daly of NME said the album veers from the "prettier, quieter moments" of Simple Math and "focuses instead on turbo-charged power-pop."

Track listing
The album's track listing was announced on January 21, 2014, through the band's mailing list:

title: Frederic Brewster Loomis

text:
Frederic Brewster Loomis (November 22, 1873 – July 28, 1937) was an American paleontologist. Educated at Amherst College and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, he spent his entire professional career at Amherst. His specialty was vertebrate paleontology. Many fossils he uncovered during his extensive field work are still exhibited at Amherst's Beneski Museum of Natural History. He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a fellow of the Geological Society of America, and president of the Paleontological Society.

Early life and education

Loomis was born November 22, 1873, in Brooklyn, New York, to Julie R. Loomis (née Brewster) and Nathaniel H. Loomis, a businessman who ran produce warehouses in New York City. In March 1877 his father died of rabies contracted from a dog bite. The family later moved to Rochester, New York, where he attended Rochester Free Academy and then Canandaigua Academy, which was then a private school for boys. Loomis's interest in paleontology dates from this period, when we spent his spare time collecting invertebrate fossils.

In 1892 Loomis entered Amherst College, where he joined Phi Delta Theta. After graduating in 1896 he remained at Amherst for a year as a research assistant in biology. In the fall of 1897 he entered the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich to study under Karl Alfred von Zittel. He earned his Ph.D. from LMU in 1899.

Career

After earning his Ph.D. Loomis returned to Amherst, where he remained on the faculty until his death. He was first an Instructor in the Department of Biology. He was named Associate Professor of Biology in 1903, Professor of Comparative Anatomy in 1908, and Professor of Geology in 1917. He also served as Vice President of the College and held this office at the time of his death.

Loomis was chiefly a vertebrate paleontologist, and most of his published research is in this area. He was highly active in field work. Most notably, a 1911 expedition to Patagonia funded by Loomis's Amherst Class of 1896 yielded several remarkable fossils of the extinct mammal Pyrotherium. He also explored areas of the Rocky Mountains, Florida and Maine, returning to Amherst with fossils of vertebrates including Eohippus, mastodons, and mammoths. These joined the collection of Amherst's natural history museum, known today as the Beneski Museum of Natural History. Loomis regarded the museum as his finest accomplishment, and his contributions were still exhibited there almost a century later.

He was elected a fellow of the Geological Society of America in 1909 and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1917. He was also active in the Paleontological Society, serving as its President in 1920.

The Springfield Science Museum in Springfield, Massachusetts, features an exhibit which includes a bone initially collected in New Mexico in 1924 during one of 17 expeditions led by Loomis. The exhibit includes photographs of Loomis on one of his expeditions.

Death

On July 28, 1937, while fishing with his wife, Florence (Calhoun) Loomis, and sons off the coast of Sitka, Alaska, Loomis suffered a brain hemorrhage and died. He was buried a little more than a week later at Wildwood Cemetery in Amherst, Massachusetts.

title: Aprille Ericsson-Jackson

text:
Aprille J. Ericsson (born April 1, 1963) is an American aerospace engineer. Ericsson is the first African-American woman to receive a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Howard University and the first African-American woman to receive a Ph.D. in engineering at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).

Early life
Aprille Ericsson was born and grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, and later moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to attend high school at the Cambridge School of Weston. She has said that her interest in astronautics manifested at an early age; she recalled watching the Apollo missions when she was in the first grade. In the summer of 1980 as a junior in high school, she attended MIT UNITE (now called MITES, Minority Introduction to Engineering & Science), a engineering outreach program for minority students at MIT. She earned her Bachelor's of Science in Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering at MIT in 1986. She was then awarded a master's degree in engineering from Howard University in 1990, followed by a doctorate in mechanical engineering, the first African-American woman to do so.

Career and teaching
While attending graduate school at Howard University, Ericsson accepted an aerospace engineer position at the NASA Goddard Flight Center in Maryland. Ericsson has served as an engineer, technologist, instrument lead, and project and program manager at NASA for nearly 30 years, lending her technical and managerial expertise to projects including the James Webb Space Telescope, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), and the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). Currently, she is the new business lead for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Instrument Systems and Technology Division, which connects scientists and project managers with the instrument technologies they need to accomplish their missions. In this role, she fosters partnerships between government agencies and universities, industry and small businesses.

Ericsson has worked in various groups within NASA, including the Robotics group and the Guidance Navigation & Control Discipline. Her work in the latter helps spacecraft stabilize and manage their orientation and position during missions. She has also worked on missions that send spacecraft to other bodies within the Solar System. Projects to which she has contributed early in her career include satellites that monitor the Earth; one such project, the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission, provides data on the atmospheric phenomena El Niño and La Niña and their effects on crop productivity.

As Project Engineer, she supported development for the laser instrumentation for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which was launched in 2009.

Ericsson helped manage science instruments such as the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), which uses lasers to measure ice sheet depth and the height of vegetation canopies. She was also the instrument manager for a proposed mission to bring dust back from the lower atmosphere of Mars back to Earth.

In addition to her roles as an engineer, Ericsson has been passionate about mentoring young people and students for much of her life and career, beginning in high school and college. By lecturing and serving on advisory boards at multiple universities, advising pre-college STEM programs, and reviewing proposals for NASA- and NSF-funded grants, Ericsson has supported numerous engineering students and young professionals pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math. She currently advises students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Howard University. Ericsson has taught at Howard University and Bowie State University, leading courses in mathematics and mechanical engineering. She has also contributed instruction on Aerospace theory at HU Public Charter Middle School of Math and Science. She works to motivate minority students in science and engineering, and serves as the lead Advisor for the Dynamical Mathematical Visionaries National Society of Engineering Jr. Chapter in Washington, DC. She has served as a Nifty Fifty speaker for the USA Science and Engineering Festival since 2010. She has spoken at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. Her efforts were recognized by NASA's Exceptional Achievement in Outreach Award in 2002. In 2022, Ericsson received the 2022 Ralph Coats Roe medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), honoring her international work encouraging young people, women, and people from other underrepresented groups to pursue STEM careers.

title: Mian Chah

Mian Chah (, also Romanized as Mīān Chāh) is a small village in Abreis Rural District, Bazman District, Iranshahr County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran. It is situated in the desert region of the country and is known for its unique culture, architecture, and history.

The village is home to a small community of people, mostly from the Baloch ethnic group, who have lived there for generations. The village's architecture is distinct, featuring traditional mud-brick homes with rounded roofs that help keep the interior cool in the hot desert climate.

Mian Chah is also known for its history, with archaeological evidence suggesting that the area has been inhabited for thousands of years. The village is home to several historical sites, including the ancient citadel of Khorshid Khan, which dates back to the 16th century and served as a defensive structure against invading armies.

In addition to its cultural and historical significance, Mian Chah is also an important agricultural center in the region. The village is surrounded by date palm groves and is known for producing high-quality dates that are prized throughout Iran and beyond.

Despite its many positive qualities, Mian Chah faces several challenges. The region is prone to drought and water scarcity, which can make it difficult for farmers to grow crops.  Additionally, the village's remote location makes it difficult for residents to access basic services and resources, such as healthcare and education.

Despite these problems, Mian Chah is working to find sustainable solutions to the challenges they face, such as implementing water conservation measures and promoting eco-friendly agricultural practices.

At the 2006 census, the village's population was measured as 40 residents, divided across 10 families.
