title: Culpeper Star-Exponent

text:
The Culpeper Star-Exponent is a daily newspaper serving Culpeper County, Virginia, United States, published five days a week. It is owned by Lee Enterprises.

History
The first edition of the newspaper was published by Angus McDonald Green, on April 15, 1881 as the Culpeper Exponent.

In 1953, the Exponent merged with its archrival, The Virginia Star (founded in 1919), to create the Star-Exponent. Angus’ brother Raleigh Travers Green edited the paper from 1897 until he died in 1946.

Angus McDonald Green’s grandson, Angus Green, fought in World War II. He studied journalism on the GI Bill, then teamed up with his father, WWI veteran James W. Green, at his Orange County Review.

By the late 1960s, the fourth-generation enterprise also owned the Madison County Eagle, Greene County Record and the Rappahannock County News.

Angus toiled 50 years in community journalism and published local history books under Green Tree Press in the 1970s. In the early 1980s, the Green family sold its newspapers, later bought by Media General of Richmond.

In 2012, BH Media Group purchased the Star-Exponent, after which it was bought by Lee Enterprises in February, 2020. Today Star-Exponent staff members cover local news and sports in Culpeper County and neighboring localities.

Starting June 27, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.

An outdoor bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln by Henry Kirke Brown is installed in Union Square in Manhattan, New York. The statue was sponsored by the Union League Club of New York.

Description and history
Cast in 1870 and dedicated on September 16 of that year, the statue was originally installed at the southwest corner of Union Square, where the statue of Mahatma Gandhi now stands. In 1875, a stone and bronze rail fence was constructed around the statue of Lincoln; the fence included an inscription of text from his second inaugural address, "with malice toward none; charity toward all." During the 1930 redesign of Union Square Park, the statue was moved to its current location, but the fence remained. The statue is in axial alignment with the Independence Flagstaff and George Washington. It was conserved in 1992.

title: Al-Rusafa, Syria

text:
Al-Rusafa ( Ruṣāfa, also spelled Rassafah, Rosafah or Resafi) is a Syrian village located in the Masyaf Subdistrict in Masyaf District, located west of Hama and about 10 kilometers southwest of Masyaf. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Rusafa had a population of 1,608 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Alawites. It is the site of a former Ismaili fortress.

Fortress
At the northern edge of the village is the fortress of al-Rusafa, which is situated on a hill 60 meters higher than the village itself. The fortress is largely preserved, although it is mostly covered by trees and vegetation. In the medieval period, it acted as a subsidiary fortress for the main Ismaili fortress of Masyaf. At its largest extent, it measures roughly 75 meters by 30 meters and is oval-shaped. The fortress was constructed from stone from local quarries and it consists of three stories.

The entrance in the northwestern section of the fortress is guarded by a tower. The outer walls are dominated by galleries and chambers, which presumably played the role of battlements. The lowest floor contains several storage rooms, a number of which were built 20 meters deep into the ground. The middle area of al-Rusafa is marked by the extensive presence of vaulted rooms. Although ruined, the central towers "are still high" according to Peter Willey, an authority on Ismaili castles.

History
Al-Rusafa was taken over by the Nizari Ismailis around 1140 CE along with other fortresses in the vicinity, namely Masyaf, Khawabi, al-Maniqa and Qulay'a. The fortress was rebuilt by the Ismaili da'i (chief) Rashid ad-Din Sinan in the 1160s. It is possible that another fortress stood in its place prior to the Ismaili conquest. In May 1271, the Bahri Mamluk sultan Baibars besieged and captured al-Rusafa from the Ismailis.

In the mid-1960s, al-Rusafa was a small village that contained an old khan (caravanserai) in addition to its partially ruined fortress.

title: Albert Bergesen

text:
Albert James Bergesen is an American sociologist and Professor and Head of the Department of Sociology at University of Arizona. He is also a Professor of Government and Public Policy, and Professor of Sociology in the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship, at the Eller College of Management. He has published three books, edited five anthologies, authored hundreds of articles, and is cited in numerous fields, such as collective violence, international relations, world-systems analysis, environmental sociology, cultural sociology and organizational sociology.

Career

Albert Bergesen attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and received a BA in 1964 in History. He went on to attend Stanford University and completed an M.A. in Education in 1966. Continuing his education at Stanford University, Bergesen completed his M.A. in 1971 and his PhD in 1974, both in Sociology. In 1973, Bergesen took a position as Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Arizona. He advanced to Full Professor in 1987. In 1995, Bergesen was a Fellow at the Udall Center for the Study of Public Policy, and in 2003, he was a Visiting Professor of Sociology at Stanford University.

Contributions

Bergesen's 1980 publication "Official Violence During the Watts, Newark, and Detroit Race Riots of the 1960s" was awarded an Honorable Mention for the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

His 1992 article "Regime Change in the Semiperiphery: Democratization in Latin America and the Socialists Bloc" and his 1995 article "The rise of Semiotic Marxism" won the Distinguished Contribution Award from the Pacific Sociological Association for best article published in Sociological Perspectives within a two-year period.

In 2003, Bergesen co-authored the book God in the Movies with sociologists of religion Andrew Greeley, in which the "authors show that the religious imagination is irrepressible, and shows up in our best-known example of popular cultures, movies." The book emerged from a class Greely first taught at the University of Chicago, and then co-taught with Bergesen at the University of Arizona. In the introduction, both sociologists take a unique stance as self-proclaimed theists and argue that it is not sociology's place to argue whether there is a god, but rather what such a god might be like. Reviewer Carl Flynn contends that "as a collection, these essays make a substantial contribution to the broadening dialogue in academic circles about the interaction between theology and film in modern society." However, the book was also written for popular appeal as one media piece describes it:""God in the Movies," is a treasure map for moviegoers looking for the deeper spiritual significance of today's films, especially in movies where God makes an appearance." In the preface to the first edition, well-known movie critic Roger Ebert states that "what is so valuable about...this book [Greeley] has written with Bergesen, is that it reminds readers and students that movies really are about something...They embody our dreams, desires, and aspirations, and give form to them. And if God takes the form of Audrey Hepburn-well, why not?"

Bergesen, with colleagues Robert Wuthnow, James Davison Hunter, and Edith Kurzweil, is the editor of the anthology Cultural Analysis: The Work of Peter L. Berger, Mary Douglas, Michel Foucault, and Jürgen Habermas. First published in 1984, it is now in its fifth edition.

In addition to the sociology of culture, Bergesen has made several contributions to world-systems analysis, including editing three anthologies, Studies of the Modern World-System published in 1980; Crisis in the World-System in 1983; and America's Changing Role in the World-System with Terry Boswell published in 1987. He has also been the editor of three special issues of academic journals: on the "World-systems and the Environment" in 1997 and on "Global Inequality" in 2002 for the Journal of World-Systems Research; and in 1982 on "World-System Studies" for the Anthro-Tech: A Journal of Speculative Anthropology.

His most recent work focuses on terrorism, collective violence and transnational sociology. He wrote the entry "Terrorism" in The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Globalization, and an introduction to research terrorism for a special issue of the journal Mobilization, in which he argues for a comparative-historical approach to terrorism studies.

He also completed an edited anthology of the work of the radical Islamic scholar Sayyid Qutb, published in 2008. The Sayyid Qutb Reader is "the first...survey of the works of Sayyid Qutb in a major Western press."

title: Jo Manning

text:
Joanne Elizabeth Manning (December 10, 1923 – January 6, 2022) was a Canadian etcher, painter and author.

Early life
Manning was born in Sidney, British Columbia, on December 10, 1923. She spent her early childhood on Vancouver Island, then moved to Amherstburg, Ontario. Manning studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and graduated in 1945. She married, and became known as Jo Rothfels. Manning returned to the OCA in 1960 to study printmaking as a special student. She took up etching in 1962. After a divorce in 1971 she reverted to her maiden name. In 1971 she studied process camera techniques and color separation at George Brown College, Toronto.

Later career
Manning taught in a mobile printmaking workshop between 1965 and 1970 for a community program of the Ontario Department of Education. She taught or ran workshops at Centennial College (1967–71) and Sheridan College (1971-74), and in the summer at Hockley Valley School of Art (1970–74), Elliot Lake (1970–72), University of Toronto (1975) and various other places.
She became an executive member of the Canadian Society of Graphic Art and a member of the Canadian Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
The two organizations merged in 1976 to form the Print and Drawing Council of Canada.
Jo Manning was a founding member of the new Council.
Around 1980 she became ill from exposure to chemicals and moved away from etching into ink drawing and oil and watercolor painting.

After many years of creating works in different media, culminating in watercolour and graphite grasses and black ink tree trunks as detailed as her early etchings, Manning turned to writing, to document both the early print world in Canada, and her own personal journey as a woman artist. Her first book, A Printmaker's Memoir: A Personal History of an Era, was published in 2009. Manning chronicles "the past seventy years of printmaking in Canada" through the eyes of a young woman trying to find her place in the Canadian art world as a skilled artist and printmaker. Manning's second book, Etched in Time, published in 2016, expanded on the role of women artists in Canada. Etched in Time is a far more personal book, sharing mysteries within her own family, as well as her passage through the art world during World War II, "marriage, betrayal, divorce, and her own artistic career as one of Canada's foremost printmakers."

Personal life and death
Manning resided at an assisted living facility near Beacon Hill Park, in Victoria, British Columbia toward the end of her life. She died by euthanasia on January 6, 2022, at the age of 98.

Exhibitions and reception
Manning's work has been included in many group shows in North America, Europe and Australia.
She has held a number of solo exhibitions including:
Pollack Gallery, Toronto (1965, 1968)
Gallery Pascal, Toronto (1974, 1977, 1980)
Mira Godard Gallery, Montreal (1976)
Earlscourt Gallery, Hamilton, Ontario (1979)
Gadatsky Gallery, Toronto (1984)
Bishop's University, Lennoxville, Quebec
Manning has won many awards including a gold medal at the 2nd Print Biennale (1970) in Florence, Italy, first prize at the 4th American Print Biennale (1970) in Santiago, Chile, and the medal of honor at the International Graphic Biennale (1980) in Frechen, Germany. Her work is held in many private, corporate and public collections including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Windsor and many others.

title: Fireball (Pitbull song)

text:
"Fireball" is a song by American rapper Pitbull, featuring vocals from American singer John Ryan. It was released on July 23, 2014 as the second release from Pitbull's eighth studio album, Globalization (2014).

Music video
According to Variety, the music video for the song includes a "digital mashup" with internet stars Jenna Marbles (who has a large following on her YouTube comedy channel and hosts the YouTube 15 weekly program on Sirius XM, who had previously made a parody impression video of Pitbull), Bart Baker (creator behind popular music parodies, including one of Pitbull), and Brittany Furlan (the most followed female video star on Vine before Vine shut down). All three appear in the "Fireball" official video. Pitbull's collaboration with Marbles, Baker, and Furlan was brokered by Endemol Beyond USA.

Story

The video begins with Pitbull leaving a car and entering a club. The video shows people dancing in black and white, and people firebreathing, along with Marbles and Baker dancing by Pitbull. Pitbull sees a woman (Alejandra Espinoza) coming down stairs and, when she enters the main room, the video turns to color. The woman looks very much like Jessica Rabbit. Many men (usually with women) stare at her. She walks over to Pitbull; they go to a dressing room and come closer to one another. The video then ends with Pitbull and the girl leaving the club in his car.

The song peaked at number 23 at the US Billboard Hot 100. As of January 2015, the single has sold one million copies in the US.

title: Verbal Jint

text:
Kim Jin-tae (Hangul: 김진태; born December 19, 1980), better known by his stage name Verbal Jint (Hangul: 버벌진트), is a South Korean rapper, record producer and musician who is known for his groundbreaking innovations in Korean hip hop rhyme schemes. He established himself as one of South Korea's most popular underground rappers of the 2000s before achieving mainstream success. He is signed to the hip hop record label Brand New Music, under which he runs his own independent label, Otherside.

Impact
Before Verbal Jint's official debut in 2001, Korean hip hop lacked a fundamental component of rap, the rhyming. Verbal Jint later said in an interview with the Korea Times, "People who came before us didn't have much interest in rhyming; artists before us were satisfied with talking fast and thinking that it was rapping – and that sold then." Verbal Jint's debut mini-album, Modern Rhymes, introduced new innovations in achieving the grammatical accuracy needed to arrange Korean successfully into rhymes. He was the first to create actual rhyme schemes in Korean and his method is now the standard for Korean rapping within the hip hop scene. The rhyme work and flow of his music have been considered revolutionary within the Korean music industry as they have rapidly changed the construction of Korean hip hop music and thus its style and lyrical qualities.

Early life and education
Verbal Jint was born in Seoul, South Korea. He attended Hanyoung Foreign Language High School, earned an economics degree from Seoul National University, and is currently taking time off from pursuing a law degree at the Hanyang University School of Law.

Verbal Jint completed his mandatory military service for South Korea in the KATUSA program, where Korean soldiers who demonstrate a high level of English fluency and aptitude serve alongside United States Army forces in South Korea.

Career

1999–2008: Underground beginnings and hip hop innovation
Verbal Jint began his rap career as a member of the Korean hip hop crew "Show N Prove" (SNP) and released his first solo songs in 1999, including, "Big Brag," "How High School," and "Foul." He released his first mini-album, Modern Rhymes, in 2001. The album is credited with introducing rhyme schemes into Korean rapping.

It was several years until Verbal Jint's next releases, 2007's Favorite and 무명. The following year, he formed the hip hop crew Overclass with rappers Warmman and Lobotomy, among others. Notable rappers and singers including San E, Swings, and Urban Zakapa would later join the crew.

2009–2011: Brand New Music and breaking into the mainstream
Verbal Jint experienced his first mainstream success in 2009, when his 2008 album, Framed, won Best Hip Hop Album at the Korean Music Awards. In 2010, he began releasing music under Brand New Stardom, a record label owned by rappers Cho PD and Rhymer. When the company split in two in 2011, Verbal Jint followed Rhymer to his new label Brand New Music.

In 2011, Verbal Jint collaborated with Swings, San-E, L.E.O., Baby Bu, Dawn, and designer Brownbreath on the song, "Stand Up, Japan!," with all proceeds from the digital single donated to help relief efforts after the Japanese Tohoku tsunami.

Later that year, he released the album Go Easy, and its single, "You Look Good," ultimately reached No. 5 on the Gaon Digital Chart. He promoted the single in October on music program You Hee Yeol's Sketchbook, where he also discussed his side-career as a voice actor in commercials. He also performed the song in Japan as a guest at actor and singer Jang Keun-suk's Tokyo Dome concert on November 26.

Verbal Jint held his first solo concert, "You Look Happier," in December 2011. The same month, he made his first appearance on the music show M! Countdown.

2012–2014: Collaborations and first world tour

In June 2012, Verbal Jint appeared in the first season of Mnet's hip hop reality program "Show Me the Money." His team, composed of himself and rookie rapper Go Young Bin, was eliminated in the second round after a performing a hip hop version of miss A's "Breathe."

That same month, he released the album, 10 Years of Misinterpretation. The album singles, "Good Morning," and "Pretty Enough" were hits, reaching No. 5 and No. 6, respectively, on the Gaon Digital Chart. He performed "Good Morning" in a special collaboration with the band 10cm in July at the two-day Green Groove Festival in Boryeong, alongside After School, Son Dambi, Wonder Girls and Akon.

Verbal Jint participated in several successful collaborations in 2013, including the hit singles "If It Ain't Love" featuring Ailee, "Hello" by legendary singer Cho Yong-pil, "Take Care of Christmas" with Shin Seung Hun, and a cover of Deux's "Only For You" with Bumkey. He also collaborated live with girl group Girl's Day at the Mnet 20's Choice Awards in July, and with Bumkey and San E at the SBS Gayo Daejun awards in December. That year, he fulfilled his long-time wish to collaborate with Hyolyn of SISTAR when she surprised him with an unscheduled appearance on You Hee Yeol's Sketchbook and subsequently featured in his performance of "You Look Good."

In May 2014, Verbal Jint went on a world tour with Bumkey, Beenzino, Kanto, and Hwayoung, holding concerts in New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Sydney. He had planned to release a new album, entitled GO HARD Pt. 1: The OTHER SIDE prior to the tour, but he postponed the album's release indefinitely due to the Sewol Ferry Disaster. Later that year, a music video he featured in was delayed due to another disaster. He was featured along with Beenzino, Bobby, BI and Mino in Epik High's single "Born Hater" off their eighth studio album Shoebox. The music video was scheduled for pre-release on October 17, but was delayed one day to pay respect to the victims of the Pangyo Techno Valley vent collapse. The song received a 19+ rating for profanity and deemed inappropriate for broadcasting by KBS on their media channels. However, the song was a success and reached No. 3 on the Gaon Digital Chart.

Later that year, Verbal Jint featured on "Rainstorm by Rainstone," a collaborative track with producer Rainstone, American R&B singer Brian McKnight, and San E.

2015–present: Show Me The Money and starting a new label
In 2015, Verbal Jint made his first appearance on the TV variety show Running Man in a "hip hop star special" with Jay Park, Jessi, and other rappers. He continued his variety show appearances that summer as a judge on the 4th season of Mnet's hip hop reality program Show Me the Money, where he represented record label Brand New Music alongside San E. He featured on charted singles from show contestants Black Nut and Basick, the latter of whom won the season as part of "Team Brand New Music." After the show's finale, Verbal Jint performed with the judges and contestants from the season in a world tour in South Korea and the United States. Later that year, he appeared on seasons one and two of Show Me the Money spin-off Unpretty Rapstar, during which he produced several singles for contestants.

Verbal Jint released two albums in 2015. On August 31, he released the mini-album Yeoja with Sanchez of the hip-hop trio Phantom. And, after three years of preparation, he released the album GO HARD Pt. 1: The OTHER SIDE on December 19. He also featured on several singles, including Girls' Generation's Taeyeon's solo debut's title track "I," which ranked number one across eight different real time music charts shortly after its release on October 7.

In November 2015, Brand New Music representatives announced that Verbal Jint plans to start an independent label while continuing to promote under Brand New Music.

title: Christopher Columbus Slaughter

text:
Christopher Columbus Slaughter (a.k.a. C.C. Slaughter or Lum Slaughter) (1837–1919) was an American rancher, cattle drover and breeder, banker and philanthropist in the Old West. After serving in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he came to own 40,000 cattle and over one million acres of ranch land in West Texas. He became the largest taxpayer in Texas, and used his wealth to endow Baptist institutions. He was known as the "Cattle King of Texas."

Early life
Christopher Columbus Slaughter was born on February 9, 1837, in Sabine County, Texas. His father, George Webb Slaughter (1811–1895), was a Baptist minister and rancher; his mother was Sarah (Mason) Slaughter (1818–1894). At the age of twelve, he took up cattle handling on the Sabine River and the Trinity River. He moved to Freestone County, Texas in 1852 with his family. Later, he drove timber from Anderson County to Dallas County, where he sold it. He also processed wheat in Collin County, Texas and sold it in Magnolia, Anderson County. Meanwhile, he was educated by private tutors at home and later at the defunct Larissa College in Larissa, Cherokee County, Texas.

Career
In 1857, Slaughter became a rancher with his father in Palo Pinto County, Texas, where they owned 15,000 cattle. They sold beef to Fort Belknap and local Native American reservations. During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he served as a colonel in Terry's Texas Rangers of the Confederate States Army (C.S.A.). Together with Charles Goodnight, he helped rescue Cynthia Ann Parker.

Shortly after the civil war, Slaughter explored Mexico with Goodnight and four other companions. However, the expedition came to an end as he was accidentally wounded by a gunshot. Later, he became a cattle drover on the Chisholm Trail in Kansas. In 1873, he founded C. C. Slaughter and Company, a cattle breeding firm. Four years later, in 1877, he purchased the Long S Ranch from Plainview to Big Spring, Texas, on the Staked Plains, the largest ranch in West Texas. That same year, he cofounded the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. In 1873, he co-founded the City Bank, later known as City National Bank. He served as its vice president of 1881. Meanwhile, the town of Slaughter, Texas in Midland County, Texas was named after him in 1882. In 1884, Slaughter established the American National Bank, later known as the American Exchange National Bank, now part of First National Bank.

Slaughter became known as the "Cattle King of Texas." Indeed, by 1905, he owned 40,000 cattle and oversaw over a million acres of land in West Texas by 1905. He bred Shorthorns with Herefords. His ranches spanned Howard County, Dawson County, Borden County, Martin County, Castro County, Lamb County, Hale County, Lynn County, and Cochran County. For example, he owned the Long S Ranch, but also the 25,000-acre Lazy S Ranch and the 17,000-acre Zavala Ranch, formerly part of the Mallet Ranch, as well as the Whiteface Ranch near Lubbock, Texas. For years, he was the largest taxpayer in Texas.

Slaughter served as president of the United Confederate Veterans. He also served as vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention and a member of the executive board of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Additionally, he served on the Texas Baptist Education Commission in 1897. In 1904, he established the Baylor Hospital of Dallas in 1904, and he went on to serve on its board of trustees. He was also a donor to the Texas Baptist Memorial Sanitarium and the Nurses' Home and Training School. It has been known as the Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas. Additionally, he served on the board of trustees of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Personal life
Slaughter married Cynthia Anna Jowell (1849–1876) in 1861, at the beginning of the civil war. They had five children. He then remarried, to Carrie Averill (1861–1928) in Emporia, Kansas in 1877, and they had four children.

In 1910, he became crippled after he broke his hip. He also had a debilitating loss of eyesight.

Death and legacy
Slaughter died on January 25, 1919, in Dallas, Texas. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Dallas. Shortly after his death, his son Bob Slaughter accused his uncle Bill Slaughter (C.C.'s brother), who managed the Long S Ranch, of trying to sell the Western S Ranch in Hudspeth County, Texas to Mexican ranchers, even though the ranch belonged to his son. As a result, Bob shot his uncle; this resulted in a US$3 million slander suit filed by the uncle against his nephew Bob. By 1921, his heirs divided his Long S Ranch and other land holdings, and sold them.

One of his daughters, Nelle (Slaughter) DeLoache, married Ira P. DeLoache (1879–1965), the real estate developer who founded Preston Hollow.

title: Scandal (season 4)

text:
The fourth season of the American television drama series Scandal began airing on September 25, 2014, in the United States on ABC and consists of 22 episodes. The season was produced by ABC Studios, in association with ShondaLand Production Company; the showrunner being Shonda Rhimes. On May 7, 2015, ABC announced that Scandal had been renewed for a fifth season.

The season continues the story of Olivia Pope's crisis management firm, Olivia Pope & Associates, and its staff, as well as staff at the White House in Washington, D.C. Season four had nine series regulars, all returning from the previous season, out of which six are part of the original cast of eight regulars from the first season. The season aired at Thursday 9:00 pm, a new timeslot from the three previous seasons which aired an hour later on the same night. The new timeslot was made to make room for ShondaLand Production Company's new TV series, How to Get Away with Murder.

Overview
The season focuses on Olivia's return to Washington, D.C., after spending two months relocated to an island off the coast of Zanzibar with Jake, and how her absence has affected the people around her.

The first half of the season focuses on Jake's arrest for the death of Jerry Grant after Rowan forces Tom to name Jake as the operator. Rowan continues to try to make everyone believe Jake is guilty, which inspires Olivia to find out the truth for herself. After forcing Tom to reveal Rowan as his operator, Fitz, Jake, and Olivia make a plan to arrest Rowan. Unfortunately, the plan fails, causing Rowan to shut down B613 and start eliminating B613 agents. Olivia tries to kill Rowan when she confronts him, but he manages to flee.

The season also focuses on how Olivia Pope & Associates has been closed, which has led Abby, Huck, and Quinn to seek alternative employment.

Abby is now the White House Press Secretary, and is struggling with gaining the respect of Cyrus and Fitz, because they choose to demean her by calling her "Red" instead of Abby. Later in the season, Abby finds herself even more stressed by the presence of her abusive ex-husband, who has been nominated for Virginia State Senator. As a result, she enlists Leo Bergen to help ruin his campaign. Huck is working at an electronic shop and is refusing to return to the firm, but he eventually does. In the past two months, he has been watching his estranged family, but his former wife, Kim, has not allowed him to see his son, Javi. However, much to Kim's dismay, Huck and Javi begin to form a friendship by playing video games together.

Quinn has stayed in contact with both Abby and Huck, in addition to trying to find Olivia. During the first part of the season Quinn works on a case for Olivia's friend Catherine from law school, in which Catherine's daughter was murdered and Catherine's grief-stricken husband committed suicide. The case takes an unexpected twist when Quinn discovers that the killer of Catherine's daughter, Kobiak, has been working with both the head of the RNC, Elizabeth North, and Vice President Andrew Nichols. Their plan is revealed as an attempt to start a war in West Angola. Elizabeth North and Andrew Nichols engineer the kidnapping of Olivia, anticipating that Fitz will do anything to save her. Having predicted correctly, Nichols then successfully convinces Fitz to give the okay to go to war with West Angola.

Mellie struggles with the sudden death of her son, Jerry, at the end of series 3. She finally comes to terms with her loss after finding out that Jerry was murdered due to being deliberately exposed to bacterial meningitis rather than contracting the disease naturally, and she chooses to form an alliance with Elizabeth North. Later, after having an affair with Nichols, Mellie discovers his true nature, when he threatens to tell the press about their affair.

Cyrus starts sleeping with Michael, a male prostitute, who is in Elizabeth North's pay. After finding out that Michael has been leaking information to Elizabeth, Cyrus calls on Olivia for help. As pictures of Cyrus and Michael are leaked, the couple comes up with a plan to get married as a way of handling the crisis.

While Olivia is being held captive, the team that Nichols hired experiences an internal issue leading to its ringleader being killed by Gus, one of his employees. Gus then opens a blackmarket auction for Olivia, and terrorists and foreign nationals start bidding for her. Olivia manipulates the auction to gain the upper hand over the kidnappers, but is unable to stop the auction and is sold to Russia. Stephen Finch, a former Pope & Associates "gladiator" gone for three seasons, returns to rescue Olivia in Russia, and she is safely brought back to America. Shortly after, Nichols suffers a massive stroke, believed to be caused by a collaborative effort between Mellie and Elizabeth. Olivia is visited by Fitz, but reveals her disgust in his decision to go to war to bring her back and drives him away.

Despite the team's concerns regarding her mental and physical state, Olivia chooses to return to her work, starting with a case of an African-American boy who was shot by a white police officer. The team's further investigation finds out that the white police officer set the entire thing up to look like he shot the boy in self-defense, and he is consequently arrested.

Meanwhile, Fitz begins looking for a new vice president. He initially decided to have Mellie take the place, but Cyrus speaks up against it. Mellie later pushes for Virginia Senator Susan Ross to be nominated for the position. Fitz then hires Leo Bergen to assist Susan, but Leo consistently puts pressure on Susan, who decides to quit the race. However, after several considerations, Susan is sworn as vice president.

On receiving files from Huck's estranged wife, David talks to Jake and Huck about what he should do with the files. Huck tries to talk to his wife Kim about them, but she manages to convince Huck to testify. After Huck's testimony, David begins investigating the case. Jake tries his best to stop David, only for David to continue pursuing the investigation, getting help from other B613 agents. David ultimately finds out that his  assistant is a B613 agent who has killed other agents as Jake manages to shoot her.

Olivia Pope & Associates continues to handle more cases, such as those of Susanne Thomas and Marcus Walker. Susanne threatens to reveal secrets about D.C.'s top politicians on her new book; while the team was able to eventually convince her not to do so, Huck suddenly kills her. Marcus Walker is accused of murdering the Mayor's wife, with whom he was having affair. The team eventually discovers that Mayor was in fact responsible for the murder,  framing Marcus for it. The team convinces the Mayor to step down from his position, but Marcus decides to reveal the truth to the media.

As Susan's seat in the Senate is vacated, Mellie decides to take her place. She enlists Elizabeth to help her in the election campaign. Mellie faces problems in her campaign when her half-sister visits the White House and threatens to reveal her past, but Fitz manages to persuade her not to. Then, former Vice-president Sally Langston raises concerns about Mellie, but Olivia manages to shut her down. Mellie also struggles with initially low ratings in Virginia, and decides to enlist Fitz to help her. Fitz decides to seek advice from Olivia, who also advised him to pick Susan as the new vice-president.

Fitz begins pushing a bill (later known as the Brandon Bill) following the recent shooting near the White House, but is struggling to get it through Congress. He tries to have the bill pushed as soon as possible, but Susan wants to read the entire bill first before giving her vote. With advice from Susan, Fitz eventually decides to improve the bill.

Olivia meets a man named Russell at a bar, and has a one-night stand with him. Meanwhile, Rowan begins threatening Olivia when she and the rest of Olivia Pope & Associates, along with David, begin planning to shut down B613. Russell is later revealed as a B613 agent hired by Rowan to get closer to Olivia, and he attempts to kill Jake when Olivia and the rest of the team continue to defy Rowan. Olivia later realizes this, and has Russell tortured by Huck and Quinn, while helping David with the investigation of B613.

Susan continues to defy the Grant Administration, helping out a female officer who appears to have been raped. She enlists Olivia Pope & Associates to help, and further investigation leads to the revelation that one of the higher officers was responsible for the act. After leaking the video footage, the officer is forced to confess the truth to the media. Mellie then uses the opportunity to raise her ratings, by giving a speech on how the military mishandled the case, showing sympathy for the female officer instead of talking about her son.

Huck and Quinn managed to torture Russell into revealing information about a secret operation named Foxtail, but he escapes before they found out more information. It is later revealed that the lawyer enlisted by the team for the case hearing is a B613 agent, and that he later helped Russell escape only to be killed by Rowan. Operation Foxtail is later revealed to be centered on Mellie, as Rowan generously offers to finance her campaign. The operation was Rowan's escape plan for the case against B613.

In the season finale, members of a grand jury gathered by David for the B613 case are killed after the initial hearing. Olivia Pope & Associates and David begin investigating the scene, and realize that Rowan was responsible. He had also blackmailed Mellie into giving the names of the members, causing her to feel responsible. Cyrus later finds out the truth, but decides not to tell Fitz. After seeking advice from Maya, Olivia and Jake decide to reveal B613 to the CIA, but their plan backfires. They later came up with a plan to frame Rowan for embezzlement of the funds at the museum where he is working, and he is imprisoned. Later, Fitz finds out the truth about what Mellie and Cyrus have done, and he orders them to leave the White House. Elizabeth then takes Cyrus' place as the chief of staff. In the last scene, Fitz reunites with Olivia.

Production

Development
Scandal was renewed for a fourth season by ABC on May 9, 2014. On May 13, 2014, ABC announced their new schedule, as well as a new time slot for Scandal. The show remained on Thursday night, but it was moved to 9:00 PM E.T. to make room for ShondaLand Production Company's new TV series, How to Get Away with Murder. In August 2014, ABC programmed its entire Thursday primetime lineup with ShondaLand dramas Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, then branded the night as "Thank God It's Thursday" (or "TGIT"). This echoes ABC's former TGIF branding of its Friday night family sitcoms and even NBC's Must See TV promotion of formidable Thursday night television hits in the 1990s.

The remaining fall schedule for ABC was announced on October 30, 2014, where it was announced that Scandal would air nine episodes in the fall with the fall finale to air on November 20, 2014, just like the rest of ABC's primetime lineup "TGIT" Grey's Anatomy and How To Get Away with Murder. The remaining 13 episodes aired after the winter break, beginning on January 29, 2015, and ending with the season finale on May 14, 2015. The show was renewed by ABC for a fifth season, on May 7, 2015.

Filming
Production started at the beginning of July, as Rhimes tweeted that the writers were hard at work collaborating ideas and mapping out the fourth season. Scouting for the season began a few days later. The table read for the first episode was on July 24, 2014, and Rhimes revealed the title of the premiere the same day. Filming for the fourth season began on July 28, 2014, and ended on April 28, 2015.

Writing
In an interview with showrunner Shonda Rhimes, she revealed that the fourth season would highlight Darby Stanchfield's character, Abby Whelan. She said "Season 4 is Abby's season. That was by design. A lot of what we know about Abby happens this season." Rhimes also confirmed the speculation about the fate of the character Harrison Wright, who she confirmed was killed. She said that all the people at OPA will cope in different ways to Harrison's death, Olivia the hardest. Rhimes said "It will be very devastating for Abby in a surprising way. You'll see how she's coping with it in a very different way than you would expect." Olivia will deal with her betrayal to everyone she left behind, when she hears about the fate of Harrison. The betrayals changed everyone permanently, and Olivia will have to deal with it.

Shonda Rhimes stated that the fourth season will focus more on the core characters, as opposed to the third season where more characters were introduced. Rhimes explained why: "Kerry Washington couldn't work 14 hours a day, so we had to tell our story in a different way, and that necessitated other people both picking up the slack in beautiful ways".

Casting

The fourth season had nine roles receiving star billing, with all of them returning from the previous season, eight of which part of the original cast from the first season. Kerry Washington continued her role as protagonist of the series, Olivia Pope, a former White House Director of Communications with her own crisis management firm.

Bellamy Young continued playing First Lady Melody "Mellie" Grant, who struggles with the death of her son and decides to run for senator of Virginia, while Tony Goldwyn portrayed President Fitzgerald "Fitz" Thomas Grant III.

On April 25, 2014, it was announced that Columbus Short would not return for the fourth season due to personal reasons. In an interview with the show's creator  Shonda Rhimes, she revealed that Short's character Harrison Wright would be killed off. Television host Ellen DeGeneres revealed on Twitter that her wife, Portia de Rossi, was cast in a multiple-episode "top secret arc".

James Putney and the ex-husband of Abby Whelan after he physically assaulted her in a drunken rage. He will appear in at least one episode of the fourth season. On November 4, 2014, it was announced that Khandi Alexander is going to return as Maya Lewis in the winter finale. Alexander's role was initially meant for only one episode as a guest star, but was upgraded to recurring on November 14, 2014. Jason Butler Harner was cast for the show in a recurring role, and first appeared in the winter premiere, playing Ian Woods. On February 20, 2015, it was reported that comedian Lena Dunham had been cast in an unknown guest role, and will appear in the sixteenth episode. She ultimately portrayed Susanne Thomas, a young woman who writes a scandalous memoir about some of D.C.'s top politicians.

Episodes

Reception

Broadcast
The season premiere returned with universal acclaim from critics, with many commenting the accomplishment the premiere did to rebound the series after the third season, which many called "messy". The fourth-season premiere also scored a series high in Total Viewers with 11.96 million and in Adults 18–49 with a 3.8/11. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 95% approval rating with an average rating of 8.08/10 based on 20 reviews. The series was its ratings increase from week to week compared to its broadcasting last year. The mid-season premiere "Run" was equaled the series's 2nd-highest-ever rating in adults 18–49. The fourth season saw a decrease in the 18-49 key demographic by 5.4 percent to a 2.9, but an increase in total viewers by .86 percent with an average of 9.19 million viewers.

Michael Brown reference
The series received both praise and criticism for the episode "The Lawn Chair" as it referred to the events in Ferguson, where a black 18-year-old, Michael Brown was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, 28, a white Ferguson policeman. Many praised showrunner Shonda Rhimes for a poignant episode and dialogue that mirrored much of the conversation around the shooting deaths of unarmed black men, whereas many meant it was too soon to air such an episode as it was too emotional and criticized the episode for being unrealistic.

Joshua Alston from The A.V. Club commented that the episode "came across as condescending wish fulfillment", and criticized the episode for not being emotionally true. Aisha Harris from Slate criticized the episode for being too easily to define as she said "Most cases of this nature are not so easily defined—racism and prejudice are often much more covert than that. If only Scandal had been a bit braver in not making Brandon a saint and Newton such an obvious bad guy, it might have made for the realest episode yet." Sophie Gilbert of The Atlantic praised the episode calling it "a tightly controlled and very deliberate exploration of race, identity, bigotry, and conscience." Rhimes explained on Twitter why the episode was more fictive than real as she said "In the end, we went with showing what fulfilling the dream SHOULD mean. The idea of possibility.  And the despair we feel now." Lauren Hoffman of Cosmopolitan also criticized the unrealistic element in the episode as she said:

{{blockquote|Are there people who will watch the white cop's racist tirade and, because it went unquestioned by any of Scandal'''s characters, determine that his actions were partially warranted? Will some people assume that the bad cops always go to jail, and that justice is always served? Will people turn off the TV and pretend everything's OK?}}

Director Ava DuVernay weighed in on the episode as she commented: "An episode like this isn't easy. Isn't easy to write. Isn't easy to direct. Isn't easy to get on air. I appreciate the effort." Judy Smith, the inspiration for Scandal'' also commented on the episode, saying "Just as a parent protects his child, we all must protect each other."

title: Hickory Ridge (Highland, Maryland)

text:
Hickory Ridge or White Hall is an historic property located in Highland in Howard County, Maryland, United States. It is registered in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties.

The 500-acre property known as Hickory Ridge was surveyed by Henry Ridgely III (1690–1749) ("Col. Henry Ridgely"), a grandson of pioneering surveyor Henry Ridgely (1640–1710) who had been granted land by George II of Great Britain. On Henry Ridgely III's death in 1749, the tract was deeded to his son Greenberry Ridgely (1726–1783), who built a stone cottage the same year, which still stands. In 1760 or 1789, Ridgely began building the Georgian architecture primary residence. The building is a two-and-a-half-story structure made of Flemish brick bond. The farm had enslaved labor who worked in fields of tobacco and wheat, and were housed in stone "Quarters". Greenberry Ridgely's son Nicholas Greenberry Ridgely (1764–1829), a rich wine merchant in Baltimore, inherited the property in 1800 and added on to the main house. The property was then acquired by the Adams family.

Samuel and Martha Smith Hopkins acquired the property in either the 1850s or 1877, naming it "White Hall" after the birthplace of Samuel, and his uncle the hospital/university founder Johns Hopkins. The Hopkins family lived there for 75 years. It is where Maryland State Senate President James A. Clark, Jr.'s mother Alda Hopkins was born and raised.

It was sold to Henry H. Owens who restored the "Hickory Ridge" name. The following owners Richard Jenkins and his wife restored the property to its historical character, beginning in 1972, and oversaw its inclusion in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, in 1977.  Jenkins sold the property in 1983 to John McDaniel, founder and Chief Executive Officer of MedStar Health (ret. 2006). "Since I've been there, we’ve hosted every governor," McDaniel said, who listed the property for sale in 2019.

Horses have long been a tradition. Samuel Harold Hopkins, son of the Samuel Hopkins who bought the property, was a founder and former president of the racetrack in Laurel, Maryland. He held the Horse Show at Highland on the estate. John McDaniel was a longtime Maryland racing commissioner, and expanded the equestrian facilities to breed thoroughbreds.

John Devereux of Manne (Whitchurch Maund) was a member of a prominent knightly family in Herefordshire during the reigns of Edward II, and Edward III.  He fought at the Battle of Crecy, and gave rise to the Devereux Barons of Whitchurch Maund.

Childhood and Ancestry

John Devereux was born in 1302, the son of Walter Devereux of Bodenham, and Margery de Braose. His family had experienced the loss of their patrimony including Lyonshall Castle, and his father did not retain the barony granted to his grandfather, William Devereux. John’s youth was spent in close alliance with his older brother, Stephen Devereux of Bodenham and Burghope, in trying to revive the family fortunes.

The ancestral arms of the Devereux family, and that of the Devereux of Bodenham were: Argent, a fesse and in chief three roundlets gules.  To distinguish themselves, the Devereux family of Whitchurch Maund added a mullet or.

Career

John Devereux is identified as a witness to a grant of a croft in 1317 in the town of la More (Hereford) by Thomas Swonild to Thomas de Houton (and his sons, Walter and Hugh) between the lands of his father, Sir Walter Devereux, and the Tyne brook. On 11 December 1323 a commission of oyer and terminer was called to investigate a complaint by Richard de Portes that ‘John Deueres’ was among a group of men that assaulted him at Gloucester, and broke the gates and doors of his houses at Bromesberwe (Yockeford), and Dunhampton (county Gloucester), cut down his trees and carried them and other goods away.

He came of age in 1323, and was a witness at the inquisition regarding the ongoing Mortimer insurrection on 22 January 1324. He was listed among a number of Hereford men who testified about the actions of Mortimer’s men and accomplices, and the complicity of the Bishop of Hereford in their action.  His brother, Stephen Devereux, was listed among the jurors.

On March 6, 1327 John Devereux was described as the king’s yeoman.  He was granted the bailiwick of the ‘chace of Cors’ in county Gloucester. On 26 July 1327 Hugh fitzThomas and Hugh fitzSymond recognized a debt of 30 shillings to John Devereux.

On 20 September 1332 a grant for three years was given to William de Leversete and John Deveroys of the right to take customs specified in the letters patent on goods for sale brought to the town of Ideshale and Welynton, county Salop, and passing through those towns or along the highway between them, for repairing the causeway. This was renewed on 8 December 1335 for another 3 years. Also in 1335, John Devereux along with Stephen Devereux and Roger Devereux witnessed land transactions in Whitchurch Maund, and Rosemaund in the parish of Bodenham.

John Devereux participated in Edward III’s invasion of France in 1346 as part of the retinue of Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and was present at the Battle of Crécy. He died shortly after this time.

title: Luis Izquierdo

text:
Luis Fernando Izquierdo Martínez (born April 3, 1974) is a retired amateur Colombian Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's welterweight category. He has claimed two bronze medals in the 69 and 66-kg division at the Pan American Games (1999 and 2003), and also represented Colombia at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Izquierdo is also a member of Jaime Lozada Wrestling Club in his native Cali, under his personal coach and father Jesus Benito Izquierdo.

Izquierdo qualified as a lone wrestler for the Colombian squad in the men's 66 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, he received a berth and rounded out the ninth spot in his respective category from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France. He lost two straight matches each to Ukraine's Armen Vardanyan and Turkey's Şeref Eroğlu, both on technical superiority, but sailed smoothly with an easy victory over Georgia's Manuchar Kvirkvelia, who was immediately disqualified for infringing the rules of the tournament. Placing third in the prelim pool and twelfth overall, Izquierdo failed to advance to the quarterfinals. As two wrestlers were both disqualified by a forfeit in the fifth-place match, Izquierdo's position was upgraded to tenth.
