title: Spider Project

text:
Spider Project is a project management software, developed by a company, called Spider Project Team.

Introduction

Spider Project is primarily a tool for project and portfolio scheduling and associated resource, materials, cost and risk management. It does not have features like project-related communication management, issue tracking, and document management.

According to Spider Project's publisher, the product provides CPM functions and metrics, and can calculate critical path drag, which tells the user how much each critical path activity delays project completion. Spider provides automatic scheduling, driven by resource allocation and resource leveling, and does not stress manual scheduling features.

Spider Project's publisher says it is closely linked with "Success Driven Project Management (SDPM)"
—a methodology, developed by Spider Project Team, which describes how scheduling-related project management is done. Other project management software tools can use SDPM methods by adjusting the method to match that tool's functions.

Spider Project Team promotes project management in general, as well as PMBOK Guide specifically in Russia. General director of Spider Project Team Vladimir Liberzon is a vice president of the PMI Moscow, Russia Project Management Institute Chapter. Spider Project Team is a PMI Registered Education Provider.

Members of Spider Project team have spoken at several PMI and International Project Management Association (IPMA) Congresses and Conferences.

Historical roots

Spider Project began in the Soviet Union. The Soviet economy was characterized by several factors:

 It was a centrally planned economy. As a consequence planning methods and techniques, and their mathematical background were subjects of high importance. In 1963, a Central Economic Mathematical Institute was founded with the main goal of "introduction of the mathematical methods and computers in the practice of planning, creation of the theory of the optimal control of the national economy. "
 In the Cold War, the Soviet Union had to compete with much more economically powerful and resource-rich western countries. This required efficient use of available resources. In 1975, Soviet mathematician and economist Leonid Kantorovich won a Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on the optimal allocation of scarce resources.

Spider Project Team claims that Spider inherited some of those planning methods developed in the Soviet Union. As an example, they say it is distinct from similar project management tools because of its resource planning and levelling algorithms and related features that target optimizing constrained resources, materials, and finances.

Notable features

Resource Leveling
Resource leveling is emphasized in most of publication about Spider Project. Though no academic-level report is available with comparison of the resource leveling algorithms of different project management tools, Spider Project has shown the best results among other tools compared in limited tests conducted by members of the professional Planning Planet forum (tests were conducted based on library of Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems (RCPSP), made available by Technical University of Munchen).

Resource Productivity
Spider supports activities with type "productivity". When specific activity is marked to be a productivity type, user needs to specify productivities of resources, assigned to this activity. Duration on such activity will then be calculated by Spider and will depend on the combined productivity of resources, assigned to this activity.

Skill scheduling
In addition to conventional assignment of resources to activities, Spider supports assignment of resource Skills.  In this situation user has to create table with relation between resources and skills. One resource can have one or more skills, equally every skill, can have one or more resources assigned to them. During project scheduling Spider automatically selects the actual resource, which will be assigned to activity. The decision which resource to assigned will be based on resource skills, productivities, costs and user defined priorities.

Variable Resource Assignment
In addition to conventional assignment of resources, when user specifies a fixed amount of resources assigned to a specific activity (e.g. Brick Layer [500%]), Spider supports situation, when user specifies a range (minimum and maximum amount of resources) required for activity. In this situation activity will be ongoing if minimum amount of resources is available, and if and when more resources become available, they will also be assigned to this activity.

Market share and geography

No independent data Spider Project's market share exists. Spider Project team claims Spider Project is used in almost 30 countries, and believe Russia and Ukraine have the most installations.

Having its head office in Moscow, Russia, as well as several representatives in Russia, Spider Project Team has also partners in the following countries:
 Belarus
 Kazakhstan
 Brazil
 Malayzia
 Romania
 Ukraine
 USA

The largest projects known to have used Spider Project are:
 A portfolio of construction projects for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi
 A portfolio of construction projects for APEC Russia 2012 summit
 Spider Project site has a document, reportedly published together with Romtelecom, Romania at PMICOS conference, where a detailed report is provided on usage of Spider Project for managing of a portfolio of 1,600 projects, containing up to 170,000 activities.

Software releases

Between 2007 and 2013 Spider Project released an average of 1.8 releases per month.

Architecture

Though used for multi-user portfolio management, Spider does not have a server. It manages portfolios using the same software that manages individual projects. It does this with a distributed architecture, through software features and organisational procedures. This includes:

 Consolidating individual projects over a computer network into a portfolio, followed by redistributing projects, in case information in them has changed. This procedure must be executed regularly, following a schedule update cycle.
 Keeping information in "Corporate Reference Books, " which must be identical for all projects of the portfolio (e.g., resource information, resource calendars etc.). Corporate Reference Books should be protected by file system access control. If Corporate Reference Books are updated, those working on individual projects must synchronize them with their schedules (e.g., to use new resources, etc.).

Language support

Spider Project is available in English, Russian, Romanian and Portuguese and Spanish.

Software versions

Spider project is available in four versions, which differ in functionality and price:

 Professional
 Desktop Plus
 Desktop Lite
 Lite

The Professional and Lite versions are also available in demo versions. The demo versions provide most program features and have no expiration time, but have a limit of 40 activities (though any number of project phases).

A Spider Project licence lets users access and distribute to any number of other users a Spider Project Viewer. Spider Project Viewer can open and analyse Spider Project files and generate reports, but not modify the project file.

title: Simkins v. City of Greensboro

text:
Simkins v. City of Greensboro, 246 F.2d 425 (4th Cir. 1957), was a 1957 case which required the City of Greensboro, North Carolina to stop discriminating on the basis of race at its Gillespie Park Golf Club, even though it was leasing the club to a private organization. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision.

Background
In December 1955, six African-American men (Leon Wolfe, George Simkins, Jr., Philip Cook, Sam Murray, Elijah Herring, and Joseph Sturdivant) went to the Gillespie Golf Course in Greensboro, North Carolina, which had been built with public funds. The six paid greens fees and began to play despite being told they would not be allowed to. That night, the six were charged with trespassing, and convicted on that charge in February 1956, a conviction which was set aside by the North Carolina Supreme Court in June of the following year.

While that case, Wolfe v. North Carolina, was on-going, Simkins, who had been one of the six, filed the present case in Federal District Court and obtained an injunction in March 1957 against the golf course preventing them from operating the course on a discriminatory basis. That ruling was appealed to the Fourth Circuit.

Decision of the 4th Circuit
In a per curiam ruling, the Court found that the injunction had been granted properly, and that, while, the city could sell the property in a bona fide sale, it could not simply avoid the prohibition on discrimination through leasing the property. saying, "the right of citizens to use public property without discrimination on the ground of race may not be abridged by the mere leasing of the property." Some commentators consider this the case that overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, as Brown's decision was limited to public schools.

Subsequent developments
Rather than desegregating its golf courses, the city sold them.

The trespassing charges that had begun this story were later retried, and all six men were found guilty, as records of this trial and injunction were withheld in that case.  The sentences of the six men were later commuted.

title: Muthaffar al-Nawab

text:
Muthaffar al-Nawab or Muzaffar al-Nawwab (; 1 January 1934 – 20 May 2022) was an Iraqi poet and political critic.

Life and career
Al-Nawwab was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1934 into an aristocratic Shi'ite family of Indian origin that appreciated art, poetry and music. He showed a talent for poetry from an early age. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Baghdad and became a teacher, but was expelled for political reasons in 1955 and remained unemployed for three years, at a difficult time for his family who was suffering financial hardship.

He joined the Iraqi Communist Party while still at college, and was tortured by the Hashemite Government. After the Iraqi revolution in 1958 which overthrew the monarchy, he was appointed an inspector at the Ministry of Education. In 1963 he was forced to leave Iraq to neighbouring Iran, after the intensification of competition between the nationalists and the communists who were exposed to prosecution and strict observation by the ruling regime. He was arrested and tortured by the Iranian secret police, before being forcibly repatriated to the Iraqi government. An Iraqi court handed down a death sentence against him for one of his poems, later commuted to life imprisonment. He escaped prison by digging a tunnel and fled to the marshlands, where he joined a communist faction that sought to overthrow the government.

Known for his powerful revolutionary poems and scathing invectives against Arab dictators, he lived in exile in many countries, including Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Eritrea, where he stayed with the Eritrean rebels, before returning to Iraq in 2011. Before he returned to Iraq, he had been essentially stateless being able to travel only on Libyan travel documents. The first complete Arabic language edition of his works was published in London in 1996 by "Dar Qanbar" He died on 20 May 2022 in the University Hospital Sharjah in the UAE.

Work
He is often known as the "revolutionary poet". His poetry is replete with Arab and international revolutionary symbols. He used his work to incite public emotions against repressive regimes, political corruption and injustice. His language was harsh, with occasional use of profanity. His earliest writing employed the southern Iraq dialect because he believed that the region was more revolutionary. However, the use of that particular dialect failed to garner a mass audience, and he eventually switched to classical language in his later works.

title: Haras Nationaux

text:
The Haras Nationaux in France (English literal translation national stud farms) was the French national public administrative body responsible for the regulation and administration of breeding of horses and donkeys in France. It administered twenty-two regional studs, or horse-breeding centres.

History

From 1870 until 1999, Haras Nationaux was a branch of the French ministry of agriculture, then it became an independent governmental department managing the twenty two national stud farms.

In 2010, along with the  (ENE, the national riding school), it became part of the new  (IFCE, French Institute of Horse and Riding).

In 2013 the twenty-two national stud farms were privatized, however IFCE continued to support the studs by paying about 75% of the employee salaries. But in 2019 the IFCE announced it would stop supporting the studs and the salary payments would cease as of 2022.

title: Duvale

text:
Duvale is a historic estate in the parish of Bampton, Devon. It is situated on a narrow flat plain in the steep-sided valley of the River Exe, 1 1/2 miles south west of the town of Bampton and 5 miles north of Tiverton, also on the River Exe further downstream. The name, given by Pole (d.1635) as Deu Vale, is said by him to signify "a valley of water". It was until the nearby construction of the present busy A396 road a place of exceptional seclusion and tranquility.

Mediaeval era
According to the Book of Fees Duvale was one of the member manors of the feudal barony of Bampton, together with Hele(possibly Hele, Clayhanger, Doddiscombe, Hockworthy,  Havekareland (possibly Hawkerland, Colaton Raleigh)  Legh (Lea Barton, Hockworthy)

Dennis
Duvale was held by a branch of the ancient Dennis family of Orleigh. Pole states Deu Vale to have been held in 1242 by "Robert le Dennys".

Cruwys
After the Dennis family, Duvale was held by a branch of the ancient Cruwys family of Cruwys Morchard. Pole states Deu Vale to have been the dwelling in 1295 of "John Crewes".

Tristram

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Duvale was purchased from the heir general of the Cruwys family by Thomas Tristram. Writing in about 1630 Pole stated of the first Tristram of Duvale "whose posterity contynewe theire dwellinge in the same place".
An old mansion near Bampton Castle, called Castle Grove, was another nearby residence of  the Tristram family, who according to Lysons (1822) probably purchased it from the Bourchiers, feudal barons of Bampton. In 1822 the site of Bampton Castle was  the property of Robert Lucas, heir to the Tristram family. A mural monument to John Tristram (1668-1722) exists in Bampton parish church, inscribed as follows:
"In ye vault underneath lyeth ye body of John Tristram Esqr. of this Towne who departed this life ye 28th June 1722 aetat(is) suae 54. He married Mary ye daughter of Scipio Stuckley of Afeton in this county, Esqr., & widdow of Michael Arundell, Esqr., by whom he had issue John & Mary. John died at a year old & Mary his only daughter & heiress has erected this monument to ye memory of her dece'd father. His second wife was Gartrude daughter of Lewis Southcomb of Rose Ash"

On the escutcheon above are shown the arms of Tristram (Argent, three torteaux a label of three points azure a chief gules) impaling Stucley (Azure, three pears or) and Southcombe (Argent, a chevron ermines between three roses gules seeded or barbed vert

Newte
After the Tristram family, in 1796 Duvale was the joint property of the East India Company Captain Thomas Newte, author of Prospects and Observations on a Tour in England and Scotland, Natural, Oeconomical, and Literary (1791), (a reworking and enlargement of A Tour in England and Scotland by an English Gentleman (1789) by William Thomson (1746–1817)), and the widow of his brother Rev. Mr. Newte, a classical scholar and poet. Thomas Newte married Anna Maria Raymond, one of the three daughters of the wealthy East India Company ship owner and banker Sir Charles Raymond, 1st Baronet (1713-1788), of Valentines, Ilford in Essex. Anna Maria predeceased her father leaving her married sisters the co-heiresses to Raymond's vast fortune. Raymond was himself born in Withycombe Raleigh, Devon.

The Newte family had long been prominent in the area. Henry Newte The Elder was Town Clerk of Tiverton. Newte's son Henry NewteThe Younger (1609-1670), also served as Town Clerk of the town from 1625 to 1655 and was also twice its Mayor, and in 1660 the MP for Tiverton.

John Newte (1656–1716), a Church of England clergyman was, for a period, appointed chaplain to King Charles II. However, Charles II converted to Catholicism on his deathbed in 1685. Newte was  educated at Blundell's School in Tiverton and became Rector of Tidcombe and Pitt portions (or quarters), Tiverton. He donated money for the building of Cove Chapel (near Duvale),  founded Charity Schools in Tiverton and bequeathed land in Braunton to Balliol College, Oxford to found an exhibition for a Blundell's scholar. Several monumental inscriptions to  Newte family members survive in Tiverton parish church, including:
Henry Newte (1670);
Richard Newte (1678), Rector of Tidcombe and Clare quarters in Tiverton, which were in the patronage of his family.
Rev. John Newte (1715);
Samuel Newte (1781), Rector of Tidcombe Quarter, Tiverton;
Rev John Newte (1792).

1796 visit by Swete

In the summer of 1796 Rev John Swete (1752-1821) visited Duvale as part of his topographical tour of Devon. Although he described the house itself as "of antient date without any conspicuous marks of consequence", he was highly impressed by the natural scenery of the location. He approached from Tiverton, via Cove, where he crossed the River Exe by the newly built Cove Bridge, and proceeded across Duvale Ford to Bampton. He described seeing "Duvale House", and described the surrounding scenery as:
"A valley of pastures inclosed between two hills of wood of great height and which extending to Duvale House, stretched itself further down the bottom till having wound round a promontory it at length reached the hamlet and bridge of Cove which I had before past. This valley was nearly the same width, not a quarter of a mile throughout, which the River Exe, an general rapid and in a foam as if exercita cursu", flowed on contributing to heighten a scenery which was in itself unusually romantic... From the ford I past down the narrow straith winding at the base of immense hills, the vastness of whose elevation I could well now distinguish, which on the western side that I had left, making a circuitous range, occasion the quick meanderings of the river which in a great degree surrounds Duvale...Nothing can well exceed the retirement of this spot: to persons of meditative minds and admirers of the grand features of Nature it would appear a little Elyzium. It would exactly suit those who "The world forgetting by the world forgot". From Duvale ascending a hill I came to an high eminence looking down the river, from hence the view of the valley and its surrounding hills (an idea of which may be conceived from the preceding sketch) was of the most romantic nature"''.

Fazakerly
After the Newte tenure, in 1822 Duvale belonged to John Nicholas Fazakerley (1787-1852), MP  for Lincoln (1812–18),  Great Grimsby (1818–20), Tavistock (1820), Lincoln again (1826-30) and City of Peterborough (1830–41).

Yandle

In 1880 Duvale was let to Thomas I Yandle, a farmer previously the tenant of Hele Bridge, a farm on the Pixton Estate in Dulverton, who had fallen out with his landlord. The Yandle family in 2014 is still prominent in the Devon and Somerset stag-hunting community. Thomas I had 3 daughters (including Clare, Kate and Amy (died aged 108 in about 1991), all of whom remained unmarried and kept house for various of their brothers and parents) and 5 sons who grew up at Duvale: Jack, the eldest, Dave, Perce, Ernest (born 1800) and Thomas II, who died of TB aged 14. He acquired tenancies of several further local farms, to one of which, Riphay Barton at Exebridge he himself moved in 1901, and established three of his sons as farmers: Jack at Chevithorn Barton, part of the Amory family's estate at Knightshayes Court, and two brothers at Duvale. All the sons had been destined for farming, but Ernest Yandle (born 1880), the second youngest, considered of delicate health, at the age of 14 or 15 was sent away to Tiverton to learn the trade of draper which he continued at Exeter and Bristol until 1910, when he returned to Devon to farm and hunt. In 1918 Thomas I retired from farming, and Ernest took over the tenancy at Riphay, while Jack remained at Chevithorne and Dave and Perce in partnership at Duvale. Shortly before 1931 Percy Yandle purchased the freehold of Duvale, just before his brother Ernest purchased the freehold of Riphay, from the Pixton Estate of Henry Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon (1898–1987). Percy Yandle lived with one of his unmarried sisters who kept house for him at Duvale. Duvale was sold by the Yandles in the 1960s

In 1919 the 4 Yandle brothers took on mastership of the recently formed Tiverton Staghounds, and built kennels at Duvale. They retained the mastership until 1945. The Tiverton Staghounds was established to control red deer numbers around that locality, which had previously been the responsibility of the long-established Devon and Somerset Staghounds, which found itself with too large a country to cope with effectively. Ernest's son is Tom Yandle (born 1935) of Riphay, chairman of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds, High Sheriff of Somerset and a committee member of both the National Trust and Exmoor National Park, who played a leading role in challenging the Labour government's ultimately successful proposal to ban hunting with hounds.

21st century
Since 1991 the property has been renamed "Duvale Priory" and has been operated by Mark Underhill as a holiday letting business, and more recently as a licensed functions venue. The premises with converted former farm buildings and kennels has sleeping accommodation for a total of 93 persons (Duvale Priory (sleeps 22), Orchard Barn (sleeps 26), Duvale Barn (sleeps 33), Duvale Retreat (sleeps 12))

title: In My Secret Life (Defiance)

text:
"In My Secret Life" is the second episode of the second season of the American science fiction series Defiance, and the series' fourteenth episode overall. It was aired on June 26, 2014. The episode was written by Michael Taylor and directed by Michael Nankin.

Plot
Nolan (Grant Bowler) and Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) arrive at Defiance and they have to get through the checkpoint before they get into the town, where they are confronted with Berlin (Anna Hopkins), an E-Rep officer. Berlin takes Nolan's guns and Irisa's knives, but when she takes Irisa's diary, Irisa fights back to take it from her and she ends up in Defiance's jail. Nolan tries to get her out and goes to talk to the new mayor leaving Tommy (Dewshane Williams) to keep an eye on Irisa.

Niles (James Murray) meets Stahma (Jaime Murray) at the marketplace and asks her to shut down her drug business with the "Blue Devil" because, as he claims, his officers are getting addicted to it and they cause incidents. Stahma tries to explain that he can not do it but when Niles threatens to release Datak (Tony Curran), she agrees to do it. Niles leaves and asks to bring the already existent stock of "Blue Devil" to his office.

Irisa and Tommy are alone waiting for her release and they get the chance to talk. Tommy says that he has moved on since the day Irisa disappeared without saying a word and Irisa promises him that as soon as she gets out, she will tell him everything that is happening to her.

Nolan goes to the mayor's office to talk to Niles and finds Amanda (Julie Benz) also there. While he is trying to talk to Niles, an explosion in the marketplace interrupts him and they all go to see what happened. Nolan recognizes the type of explosive—a shrill bomb—and tells Niles and Amanda about it. Amanda convinces Niles to let Nolan track down the bomber and earn Irisa's freedom. Niles gives Nolan 24 hours to do it.

Nolan knows that shrill bugs can be found in cold, dark places, and he heads to the mines. There, Josef (Ryan Kennedy) tells him that Bradley Wittle (Chadwick Allen) was gathering the shrills, and Nolan heads to the Need/Want to wait for him to appear. While he waits, Amanda tells him all that has happened in town since he left.

Bradley appears and Nolan starts chasing him when Bradley realizes that Nolan knows about him and runs for it. Nolan loses Bradley, but with Berlin's help tracks him to Skevur's (Michael Dyson) place. Nolan gets there to find out that there is another bomb ready to explode and forces Skevur tell him where the second bomb is. Skevur confess that it is attached to Stahma's car and Nolan runs to find it. When he gets there, he pulls Stahma out of the car and disarms the bomb, gaining back the trust and approval of the people of Defiance.

Stahma thanks Nolan and when she gets home, she blames Alak (Jesse Rath) for what happened to her, saying that Skevur tried to kill her because he could not handle him properly, which he must do now. Alak goes and finds Skevur; after a brief fight, he kills him.

Once freed, Irisa runs to find Tommy to tell him what she promised him, but she sees him kissing Berlin and leaves without saying anything. Meanwhile, at the Need/Want, Niles offers Nolan the job of Lawkeeper back, but Nolan declines. Amanda follows him and convinces him to accept the job. Later, they end up in her room having sex, with Niles watching the whole thing from the spy camera he has planted in Amanda's room.

In the meantime, Datak and Doc Yewll (Trenna Keating) try to organize their escape from the E-Rep prison camp. They recruit a religious fanatic to kill Niles on one of his visits. Niles comes and hauls Yewll in for an interrogation, asking about the safe she has in her office. Yewll refuses to answer his questions, and Niles has man cut off one of her fingers.

On his way out, Niles gets attacked by the religious fanatic, but Datak runs to his rescue and saves Niles' life by killing the man. Datak asks to be released from prison in return for saving the mayor, but Niles refuses, suspecting that Datak was probably behind the whole thing from the beginning.

Ratings
In its original American broadcast, "In My Secret Life" was watched by 1.43 million; down 0.58 from the previous episode.

Reviews
"In My Secret Life" received positive reviews.

Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+ rating saying that it was focused on a terrorist bomber but that served well to Irisa and Nolan's return to Defiance. "It gets the job done well enough, setting the board up for the entire season. This is necessary work, and it’s accomplished well. But the biggest stride forward is that Defiance demonstrates that it understands itself, its nominal main character, and how it can subvert expectations using its revamped setting."

Noel Kirkpatrick from TV.com gave a good review to the episode saying that after two episodes, the second season of the show seems more interesting than the first one. "With Pottinger and Berlin established and Nolan back in the Lawkeeper headquarters, I expect that the story may begin to speed up a bit".

Billy Grifter of Den of Geek also gave a good review stating that after a bumpy start, the show is quickly on track towards an interesting second season.

Ricky Riley from The Celebrity Cafe gave a good review as well saying that overall the episode was great. "Everyone has moved into different roles except for Nolan. The town was once a free-city with hope and prosperity. Now it is a police-state right out of a dystopian novel and Nolan is the only thing that has remained constant."

title: Melancthon Smith (Confederate officer)

text:
Melancthon Smith (frequently spelled Melancton or Melanchton; April 15, 1829 – November 1, 1881) was a Colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. A graduate of the United States Military Academy, he served with the artillery of the Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater. After the war he became a journalist.

Early life

West Point
Melancthon Smith was born in Mobile, Alabama on April 15, 1829. He was a soldier's son, his father an artillery Captain stationed at the Mount Vernon Arsenal. Smith received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point by the state of Alabama, and on July 1, 1845 the 16 year old Melancthon was admitted to the class of 1849. However, in his second year he was found deficient in mathematics, getting the worst grades in the class, and was turned back into the class of 1850. His grades became much better, though he was short of dismissal when he accumulated 196 demerits over the year (200 being the allowed maximum). In the next year Smith was suspended from the academy, and thus not examined.

This resulted in being turned back again, putting him in the class of 1851. The year 1850 brought Smith close to failing again, just short of being deficient in Chemistry and accumulating 177 demerits; but in the end he managed to pass the year and became a Firstie, or first class cadet. In his last year he accumulated the allowed 200 demerits, what made him the second worst cadet currently at the academy, and once again short of failing. But he didn't; his grades were all in the last quarter of his class, except engineering, and he graduated as 36th out of 42 graduates on July 1, 1851.

As a fellow cadet described him:

The U.S. Army and the Antebellum
On the same day Smith was appointed a Brevet 2nd Lieutenant of Infantry and posted to the Texan frontier in the 8th U.S. Infantry Regiment, in the company of Bvt. Major James Longstreet. He served at Fort McKavett and Camp Johnston and was finally commissioned as a full 2nd Lieutenant on December 7, 1852. He continued his frontier duty at Fort Chadbourne and Ringgold Barracks until he resigned his officer commission on November 9, 1854.

He moved to eastern Mississippi to become a planter. In 1853 he married Mary Emma Minnie Forney of Huntsville, Alabama; and their marriage eventually brought two daughters and two sons. Getting active in the local militia he was elected Major General in 1857, and commanded the 2nd Division, representing the 14 southern counties of Mississippi. About this time he also was elected as the representative of Clarke County to the State Legislature; and as Chairman of the Military Committee of the House.

Civil War

1861 & 1862
When on January 3, 6 days before Mississippi's and 8 days before Alabama's secession, militia forces under Colonel John B. Todd seized the Mount Vernon Arsenal, Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines Smith accompanied the troops as a volunteer. On January 6 he was commissioned a Captain of Alabama Volunteers (Ordnance Department), and placed in command of the Mount Vernon Arsenal, the place his father had built 30 years before. When in April the Arsenal was turned over to Confederate authorities Smith was appointed Alabama's Adjutant General with the rank of Colonel, and served at the headquarters of General-in-Chief Jesse Clemens. Preferring active duty he resigned his post, traveled to Mississippi and accepted a captaincy of a company from his Clarke County.

Organizing his company into a battery of light artillery. In September Smith's (Mississippi) Battery, as it was named, became part of the brigade of Brigadier Benjamin F. Cheatham in the Army of Tennessee. It participated in the Battle of Belmont, where it shelled the federal troops on the opposite river bank and shot on the gunboats that transported U. S. Grant. After the indecisive battle he received praise by commanding Major General Leonidas Polk. At the Battle of Shiloh on April 6 the 6-gun battery was still with the brigade, now under command of Colonel William H. Stephens. It fought an artillery duel with the 1st Minnesota Light Artillery Battery before it formed the rightmost part of Ruggles's Battery. On April 7 a two-gun section under Lt. Eckford fought on the Confederate left; and when the battle ended the battery had swapped three of its pieces for three rifled James cannons. Smith's service was officially noted by General Cheatham.

On July 12, 1862 Smith was appointed Chief of Artillery of Cheatham's Division; and was promoted to Major in August. The artillery batteries were still assigned to the individual brigades, but beside his own old battery (now under Lieutenant William B. Turner) he had Standord's Mississippi, Carnes' Tennessee and Scott's Tennessee batteries. In the Battle of Perryville he commanded 16 guns. The battle turned out a lucky day for both the army and Smith, whose battalion captured 7 guns and numerous artillery supplies. He continued his command in the Battle of Stones River, though in the initial day he was not present marching in the rear of the army.

1863, 1864 & 1865
As senior artillery officer in the corps Smith acted as Chief of Artillery on numerous occasions from 1862 on. Around the same time the battery commanders of the division personally petitioned the Confederate States War Department, requesting a promotion for Smith. As the Confederate laws failed to provide enough field officers for the artillery, and lacked the urge to deal with the organisational shortages of its western armies, the petition was denied. By the Battle of Chickamauga in fall 1863 the five artillery batteries in the division were consolidated into a battalion under Smith's command; and he led his battalion into the Chattanooga Campaign.

In early 1863 there occurred extreme deficiencies in the ordnance stores. Paper fuses and friction primers were describes as useless, gunpowder of low quality, leather goods and wood in bad condition and the guns themselves wearing down. In consequence General Braxton Bragg appointed an artillery board in June; and Smith was part of it. Proceeding against the Army of Tennessee's Chief Ordnance Officer, Lt. Col. Hypolite Oladowski, and the worsening conditions on the homefront the board was able to make several recommendations; but it took time for Bragg to modernize his artillery.

On February 10, 1864, by order of Generals Johnston and Hardee, the four artillery battalions in Hardee's corps were officially merged into the corps artillery regiment, and Smith, still a Major, was assigned to its command. Hardee recommended his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel; and General Johnston joined in the recommendation. In May 1864 now Lieutenant Colonel Smith served in the Atlanta Campaign, including the Battle of Peachtree Creek. The campaign was disastrous for the Confederacy and the artillery. While in the retreat Smith was able to save 28 guns.  His corps artillery lost about all other equipment . He continued to lead the corps artillery during the Franklin-Nashville Campaign.

In January 1865 the artillery of the Army of Tennessee was broken up and over half of the Neglected branch of the Army as Smith called it was transferred to the Mobile Bay under Smith's command. In April Colonel Smith fought in the Battle of Fort Blakely during the Mobile Campaign, leading the right wing of the defenses of Mobile. On April 9 the fort, commanded by Gen. Liddell was stormed, thus ending the war for Melancthon Smith.

Rank issue
There is an unsolved issue about his final rank. Sources like the promotion recommendations from Generals Hardee and Johnston speak for a promotion from Major to Lieutenant Colonel in early 1864. There are several authors who speak of a promotion either from Major to Colonel or from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel – what gives those voices credibility is the most common date when the promotion was dated, February 20, 1864. His microfilmed muster roll also lists his highest rank as Colonel. In the Official Records on most occasions everyone (Lt. Col. or Col.) is simply addressed as Col., including Smith in the later war years. However, there is a single document in which Smith and other artillery officers are strictly differed into Lieutenant Colonels and Colonels. This document refers to Smith as (full) Colonel. It is authorized by Major General Arnold Elzey, commanding the artillery of the Army of Tennessee; and written by Captain Charles Swett, Elzey's Inspector General, on December 21, 1864.

Later life
When the war ended Smith returned to farming on his homestead. His wife died in 1870, and he married Mary Howze in 1872, losing his second wife only two years later. The disturbed state of the country, and the loss of his mill by fire, caused him to sell out in 1871. He became Principal of the high school in Enterprise, but left the post in 1874 to become a newspaper editor. Initially working for the Pascagoula (Mississippi) Democrat-Star he moved to his childhood homestead of Mobile, Alabama in May 1877. After a short-lived career at the Mobile (Ala.) Cycle he started to edit the Mobile News, a daily paper, until his failing health caused him to retire. Stricken with tuberculosis that left him an invalid for several years he died on November 1, 1881.

title: John Kipkoech

text:
John Chepkwony Kipkoech (born 29 December 1991) is a Kenyan professional long-distance runner who competes in the 5000 metres. He represented Kenya in the event at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics. He was a silver medallist at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics and a junior team gold medallist at the 2009 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. His personal best of 12:49.50 minutes ranks him in the top twenty all-time runners for the 5000 m.

Career
He made his international debut in the junior race at the 2009 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, where his ninth-place finish helped Kenya to the team gold medals. He made his international track debut the following year, and was the silver medallist in the 5000 metres behind compatriot David Kiprotich Bett. He competed on the European circuit in August and was fourth in the 3000 metres at the ISTAF Berlin and Rieti Meeting. His time of 7:32.72 minutes in Rieti ranked him eighth in the world in the event that year. Given these performances he was recruited for the Kenyan Armed Forces sports team. In his first senior race in Kenya, he won the Kipkelion leg of the Athletics Kenya cross country series. In the cross country season he came third at the Cross Internacional de Venta de Baños, then placed 19th in the senior race at the 2011 Kenyan Cross Country Championships. He opened his track season at the Doha Diamond League meet, running 7:34.82 minutes for the 3000 m, but missed the rest of the season.

Kipkoech returned in the 2012 season and after a ninth-place finish at the Kenyan Cross Country, he won the Trofeo Alsport race in Sardinia. An outing over 5 km brought him fifth place at the Carlsbad 5000 in the United States. His first race on the 2012 IAAF Diamond League circuit came at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, where he placed third with a 5000 metres best of 13:12.66 minutes (beating Kenenisa Bekele among others). He was sixth at the Prefontaine Classic and had the same placing at the Meeting Areva – his time of 12:49.50 minutes at the latter race ranked him sixth in the world that year. A 3000 m run of 7:34.03 minutes brought him third at the DN Galan and seventh on the yearly rankings for that distance. His last Diamond League outing was a fifth-place finish at the Weltklasse Zürich. Turning back to cross country, he was third at the Cross Internacional de Soria in November, and runner-up to Muktar Edris at February's Campaccio.

At the start of 2013 he made more road running appearances, setting a best of 29:19 minutes for the 10K run at the World's Best 10K race and taking second to Dejen Gebremeskel at the Carlsbad 5000. After a season's best run of 13:01.64 minutes at the Golden Gala 5000 m, he gained wild-card selection for the 2013 World Championships in Athletics as a result of a fifth-place finish at the national championships. His performance at the World Championships 5000 m was poor, as he fell over in the heats and narrowly missed the qualifying time for the next stage.

Kipkoech opened 2014 with two personal bests: he 29:04 minutes for fifth at the World's Best 10K and 61:38 minutes for sixth at the Berlin Half Marathon. He was fourth and sixth at the Shanghai and Eugene legs of the 2014 IAAF Diamond League, but was out of the top eight in the 5000 m at the national championships.

Personal bests
3000 metres – 7:32.72 min (2010)
5000 metres – 12:49.50 min (2012)
10,000 metres – 29:14.8 min (2013)
5K run – 13:24 min (2012)

The 1932 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1932. Incumbent Governor of Montana John E. Erickson, who was first elected governor in 1924 and was re-elected in 1928, ran for re-election. He won the Democratic primary with a plurality and advanced to the general election, where he faced Frank A. Hazelbaker, the Lieutenant Governor of Montana. Despite the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt carried the state in a landslide in the presidential election that year, Erickson only narrowly defeated Hazelbaker to win re-election to his third and final term as governor, though he would later resign just a few months into his term to appoint himself to the United States Senate.

title: Theoktistos (magistros)

text:
Theoktistos (; ) was a senior Byzantine official who played an important role under the Nikephorian dynasty (802–813).

Theoktistos is first mentioned in 802, when he held the rank of patrikios and the post of quaestor. From this post he supported the deposition of Empress Irene of Athens (ruled 797–802) and her replacement by Nikephoros I (r. 802–811). He remained active in Nikephoros' administration, and by the time of the Emperor's death in the Battle of Pliska in 811 he had advanced to the rank of magistros. He was among those who agreed to the accession of Nikephoros' son Staurakios to the imperial throne. Staurakios, however, had himself been grievously wounded in the battle, and Theoktistos, along with the Domestic of the Schools Stephen and the Patriarch Nikephoros, pushed through his replacement by his brother-in–law, the kouropalates Michael I Rangabe (r. 811–813)—although, if the narrative of Theophanes the Confessor, an admittedly hostile source, is to be believed, the decision was also influenced by the insulting manner in which Staurakios treated the senior officials, Theoktistos included. Throughout his brief reign, Michael Rangabe was completely dependent on the senior officials who had raised him to the throne. In 813, Theoktistos was a member of the group of officials which successfully advocated a war with Bulgaria. Theoktistos accompanied the army, but the campaign ended in a heavy defeat at the Battle of Versinikia. With a few other officials, Theoktistos was able to escape the disaster.

Some time after that he withdrew to a monastery under the famed Theodore Stoudites, with whom he had corresponded. His retirement was possibly related to the abdication of Michael I and the accession of Leo V the Armenian (r. 813–820). Theoktistos is still recorded as being alive and in the monastery in 821.

title: Lorrie Dunington-Grubb

text:
Lorrie Alfreda Dunington-Grubb (1877 – 17 January 1945) was an English landscape architect. She moved to Canada in 1911 with her husband and business partner Howard Dunington-Grubb where they founded Sheridan Nurseries. She was active in garden design, a writer and a patron of the arts.

Britain

Lorrie Alfreda Dunington was born in England in 1877.
Her childhood was spent in India, South Africa and Australia.
She attended Swanley Horticultural College in England where she studied garden design for two years.
After graduating she obtained a position as head gardener of an Irish estate.
She formed a partnership with H. Selfe-Leonard, a gardener particularly known for his rock gardens, and they designed gardens throughout Britain. Leonard was a follower of Gertrude Jekyll. Lorrie's love of herbaceous gardens may have come from Leonard, or through meeting with Jekyll herself.

Lorrie had the ambition of becoming a landscape architect. The profession was not taught in England at the time, but she managed to acquire the knowledge through private lessons and technical courses. She opened an office in London and practiced in Britain for several years, gaining a high reputation.
In 1910 Lorrie Dunington met Howard Grubb, also a landscape architect, and the two married in the spring on 1911.
They combined their surnames to become Mr. and Mrs. Dunington-Grubb.

Canada

Landscape architect

Howard and Lorrie moved to Toronto in 1911. They quickly became busy with commissions for the boulevards and parks of the Lawrence Park suburb of Toronto, and with private commissions for landscaping the gardens of new homes there.
Lorrie Dunington-Grubb worked on her own or with her husband on the design of private and public gardens, garden suburbs and town planning projects.
In 1913 they received commissions to prepare plans for the subdivisions of Colvin Park in Buffalo, New York, Oriole Park in Toronto and the Workman's Garden Village for the Riordan Pulp and Paper Company in Hawkesbury, Ontario. In Toronto they also designed the grounds of the Old Mill Tea Room, the Humber Valley Surveys and the 15-acre Chorley Park.
Later works included the Rainbow Bridge Gardens and Oakes Garden Theatre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the McMaster University entrance gardens and Gore Park in Hamilton, Ontario.

The Dunington-Grubbs used sculpture and other artistic work in their garden designs, including the work of sculptors Fritz Winkler, Frances Loring and Florence Wyle and of painters J. E. H. MacDonald and Arthur Lismer.
Thus the Italian Garden of the Parkwood Estate in Oshawa holds sculptures of Boy with a Goose by Winkler, Boy with Dolphin and Lady and the Shell by Wyle, Girl with the Squirrel by Loring and Boy on a Dolphin by Cleeve Horne.
Their work in the Royal Botanical Gardens (1929) and the Niagara Parks in the 1930s reflects the ambivalent mood of the time in which native plants were seen as patriotic, but imported plants were also included as oddities and freaks.

Sheridan Nurseries
In 1913 the Dunington-Grubbs founded Sheridan Nurseries in the hamlet of Sheridan outside Oakville to the west of Toronto, on  of land of which about  were suitable for ornamental plants.
They hired Sven Herman Stensson to run the nursery, whom they found through an advertisement in an English paper.
By 1926 the nursery had grown to , with a wide range of trees, shrubs and perennials. The first seasonal garden centers were opened in the early 1920s near the Yonge and Bloor intersection in what is now downtown Toronto and on Southdown Road in Mississauga.

Other activities

Lorrie became involved with the Women's Art Association of Canada around 1915 and was president of the association from 1925 to 1930.
Lorrie was also an active member of the Lyceum Club of Toronto and the Heliconian Club, both devoted to women's involvement in the arts.
Lorrie belonged to societies such as the University Women's Club and the Council of Women. She spoke on social issues such as urban congestion, the price of food, affordable lodgings for women and female magistrates in women's and children's courts.
She also gave lectures on housing and town planning at the University of Toronto and on city beautification for the Ontario Department of Agriculture.
She wrote many articles on garden design for magazines such as Canadian Homes and Gardens, Maclean's and Woman's Century.

Due to their business, the Dunington-Grubbs mixed with the Toronto elite such as the Eaton, Massey and Gooderham families, hosting and attending important social events.
The Dunington-Grubbs were at the center of a small group of landscape artists that used to meet in the garden of the Diet Kitchen Restaurant, on Bloor Street.
In 1934 they founded the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects.
In 1944 Lorrie became president of this society.

Lorrie caught tuberculosis, which forced her to slow down somewhat after 1928.
Lorrie Dunington-Grubb died in Hamilton, Ontario, on 17 January 1945 at the Mountain Sanatorium.
Many of the hundreds of gardens have now been lost, although the Parkwood Estate is still well maintained.
Landscape Ontario gives an annual Dunington Grubb award.

title: Norman donkey

text:
The Norman donkey, , is a breed of domestic donkey from Normandy, in north-west France. It is found mainly in the present-day Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy regions, and is also present in Brittany and the Pays de Loire. It is the smallest of the seven recognised French donkey breeds. It was formerly used as a pack animal in agricultural work, mainly for carrying milk churns; it is now used in leisure sports and tourism. The breed was recognised by the Ministère de l'Agriculture, the French ministry of agriculture, in 1997. The stud book is kept by the Association de l'Âne Normand, an association of breeders.

History

The breed originated in the three départements of what is now Lower Normandy, the Calvados, the Manche and the Orne; in 1970 there were 8500 donkeys of all breeds in that area. The Norman donkey was recognised by the Ministère de l'Agriculture on 20 August 1997. In 1998 a total of 225 Norman donkeys had been identified; the total number is now 1450.

Characteristics

The Norman donkey measures . The coat may be bay in all its shades, chocolate brown or black pangaré, with a darker dorsal stripe and shoulder-stripe; the legs often show zebra-striping. The surround of the eyes and lower part of the muzzle are grey-white, as is the belly.

Use
Like the Cotentin donkey, the Norman donkey was used in the 19th century as a pack animal to transport market garden produce, or take hay to livestock at pasture, or to carry milk-churns in a time when cows were milked by hand in the field; often the milkmaid or triolette sat on top of the churns. It was also used in harness, sometimes to pull a large wheeled churn, a godaine.

Today it may be used as a pack animal for hiking or trekking.

title: Charlie Drinkwater

text:
Charles John Drinkwater (25 July 1914 – 8 April 1998) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Aston Villa, Charlton Athletic and Watford as an outside left. He later served Ruislip Manor as player-manager.

Club career

Non-League football (1932–1935)
Drinkwater began his career at Athenian League club Hampstead in 1932 and failed to make an appearance before moving to Northfleet United in March 1933. He returned to Hampstead shortly afterwards and made his debut for the club in the penultimate game of the 1932–33 season, a 4–1 victory over Uxbridge Town. Drinkwater remained with Hampstead (then renamed Golders Green) for the 1933–34 season and scored his first goal for the club in the opening game of the season, a 2–1 defeat to Walthamstow Avenue. He scored 10 goals in 36 appearances during the campaign and helped the Greens to a third-place finish in the league.

Drinkwater's form earned him a move to Second Division club Brentford as an amateur in June 1934, but he failed to make an appearance for the first team and returned to Golders Green for the start of the 1934–35 season. Drinkwater moved to fellow Athenian League club Walthamstow Avenue before the end of the season.

Football League (1935–1947)
Drinkwater received another chance at League football when he signed for First Division club Aston Villa as an amateur in August 1935. He signed a professional contract October that year. Drinkwater's professional debut came in a league match versus Chelsea on 16 November 1935. He instantly made a name for himself when he scored within three minutes of the kick-off. The Straits Times reported that Drinkwater "trapped a centre with the coolness of a veteran, steadied himself and drove the ball into the net".

title: Miguel Leal

text:
António Miguel Nunes Ferraz Leal de Araújo (born 22 April 1965), known as Leal, is a Portuguese football manager.

He had several spells in charge of Penafiel, and four other second-tier clubs. In the Primeira Liga, he led Moreirense and Boavista.

Football career
Born in Marco de Canaveses, Porto District, Leal only played amateur football, retiring in 1998 after a three-year spell with Sport Clube Salvadorense. His first head coaching spell arrived midway through the 2002–03 season, and he was able to help F.C. Marco narrowly avoid relegation from the Segunda Liga.

From 2004 to 2009, Leal worked mainly as an assistant manager, representing in that capacity U.S.C. Paredes, S.C. Beira-Mar, Aliados Lordelo F.C. and F.C. Penafiel. In the 2009–10 campaign, he acted as fitness coach at Turkish club Gaziantepspor.

On 28 May 2012, after another youth spell with Penafiel, Leal was appointed as coach of the first team. He led them to the ninth position in his first year, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga in the following after a third-place finish as the runners-up FC Porto B were not eligible; following this success, he was voted coach of the season.

On 16 May 2014, Leal signed with Moreirense F.C. also in the top division. He left on 19 May 2016 following the expiration of his contract, after consecutively managing to lead the team into safety.

On 11 October 2016, Leal was announced as new Boavista F.C. manager after the club parted ways with Erwin Sánchez. He was relieved of his duties early into the following season, but found accommodation two days after being fired by joining second tier side F.C. Arouca.

Leal left Arouca on 26 September 2018, after four consecutive losses put the team in last place at the start of the season. The following 17 January, he came back to the league at C.D. Cova da Piedade on a deal until the end of the campaign. When it finished, he returned to Penafiel on 4 June 2019, succeeding Armando Evangelista. His contract ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and his team finished 15th in the aborted season.

On 19 October 2020, Leal returned to work at Varzim SC, succeeding Paulo Alves at the 17th-placed club. He left on New Year's Day, having won once in nine games and never in the league. On 22 March 2021, he returned to Cova da Piedade.

Personal life
Leal obtained an academic and Master's degree in physical education, as well as completing a doctorate in psychology.
