Deportations of Hungarians to the Czech lands were a series of mass deportations of Hungarian population from southern Slovakia to Czech lands by Czechoslovak authorities. Deportations took place during the period from 1945 to 1947.

Deportations

Presidential Decree No. 071/1945 Coll. ("concerning the work duty of persons that had lost Czechoslovak citizenship") and No. 88/1945 Coll. ("concerning universal work duty") authorized the Czechoslovak administration to draft people into paid labor service for the maximum period of one year in order to redress some of the war damages. Under the disguise of "labor recruiting", the deportation of Hungarians from South Slovakia began to the recently vacated Czech borderlands. Those who could not prove that they either remained loyal to the Czechoslovakia during the war, or that they took part in liberation, or that they were subject to Nazi terror, also had their property confiscated under Presidential Decree No. 108/1945 Coll. ("concerning the confiscation of enemy property and on the Fund for National Restoration"). The transit trains were labelled as "voluntary agricultural workers". In fact, the real goal was to alter the ethnic composition of South Slovakia. These "labor recruitings" were named by Czech historian Karel Kaplan as "internal colonizations", and according to him their "political aim... was to transfer a part of the Hungarian minority away from the Hungarian border and to destroy it as a compact territorial unit. This colonization also had an immediate industrial goal – to provide the depopulated areas with a workforce".

Between July and August 1946, under the slogan "Slovak agricultural labor assisting the Czech lands", more Hungarians were deported to Czech lands. Eventually, 40,000-45,000-50,000 Hungarians were deported to Czech territories recently cleared of Sudeten Germans, but also to the other areas where labor force was required. While their properties in Slovakia were confiscated, they obtained the former Sudeten Germans' properties. According to the Slovak National Archives, 41,666 Hungarians had been deported from southern Slovakia.
Hungarians who stayed in Slovakia became the targets of the Slovak assimilation efforts.

title: Commercial classification of chemicals

text:
Following the commercial classification of chemicals, chemicals produced by chemical industry can be divided essentially into three broad categories:

 commodity chemicals: are chemicals produced in large quantities and in general their applications can be traced back to their chemical structure; for this reason, two commodities produced by two different suppliers but with the same chemical structure and purity are almost identical and they can be easily interchanged; they are produced by continuous plant and in general their cost is relatively low; examples of chemical commodities are ammonia and ethylene oxide;
 speciality chemicals (or specialty chemicals): are constituted by a mixture of different chemical substances, that is designed and produced in order to be applied to a specific application; the formulation of specialities is the result of scientific researches carried out by the producer company, so each formulation and associated properties are unique and for this reason in the majority of the cases it is not possible to easily interchange two different specialities produced by two different suppliers; examples of applications of speciality chemicals are pharmaceuticals industry and agriculture; they are produced by batch plant and in general their cost is higher if compared with commodity chemicals;
 Fine chemicals: as the commodity chemicals, they are chemical substances characterized by their chemical structure, but, on the contrary of commodity chemicals, they are produced in a small quantity; fine chemicals can be used as components in the formulation of speciality chemicals; for example active ingredients of pharmaceutical drugs are fine chemicals, but the pharmaceutical drug is a speciality chemical; examples of applications of fine chemicals are: pharmaceuticals industry, agriculture, photography chemicals and electronic chemicals; they are produced by batch plant and in general their cost is relatively high.

Kline matrix

Kline matrix was presented for the first time in 1970 by Charles Howard Kline. It is a more detailed classification of the previous one, that distinguished chemical commodities into two subclasses, called respectively "true commodities" and "pseudocommodities". In general the classification of chemical industry products by the Kline matrix is related to the chemicals' worldwide production (measured for example in tons/year) and to their value added.

Following this classification, the chemical industry products are divided into four categories:
 true commodity: high production and high value added
 fine chemical: low production and high value added
 pseudo-commodity (or branded commodity): high production and low value added
 speciality chemical: low production and low value added.

Basic chemicals

The concept of basic chemicals is very close to chemical commodities. In fact basic chemicals are chemical substances used as a starting material for the production of a wide variety of other chemicals; for this reason they are in general commodities, because they are highly demanded. Some examples of basic chemicals are: ethylene, benzene, chlorine and sulfuric acid.

High production volume chemical

High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals is another commercial classification of chemical substances very close to chemical commodities. This categories is used in US and includes all the chemicals produced or imported by US in an amount higher than 1 million pounds.

It is supposed that the number of commercialized chemical products is around 70,000 and around 5% of them are High production volume chemicals.

title: Distinguished Service Medal, Gold

text:
The Distinguished Service Medal, Gold was instituted by the President of the Republic of Venda in 1985, for award to all ranks for exceptionally meritorious service and particular devotion to duty.

The Venda Defence Force
The 900 member Venda Defence Force (VDF) was established upon that country's independence on 13 September 1979. The Republic of Venda ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Venda Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Distinguished Service Medal, Gold was instituted by the President of Venda in 1985. It is the senior award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver and the Venda Defence Force Medal.

Venda's military decorations and medals were modeled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for exceptionally meritorious service and particular devotion to duty.

Order of wear

Since the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.

Venda Defence Force until 26 April 1994

Official VDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Gallantry Cross, Silver (GCS).
 Succeeded by the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver.
Venda official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the National Force Distinguished Service Medal (SOO).
 Succeeded by the Police Distinguished Service Decoration (SOO).

South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Defence Force Merit Decoration of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.
 Succeeded by the Sandile Decoration (SD) of the Republic of Ciskei.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Gazankulu Police Star for Distinguished Service.
 Succeeded by the Police Distinguished Service Decoration (SOO) of the Republic of Venda.

The position of the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996, when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged on both occasions.

Description
Obverse
The Distinguished Service Medal, Gold is a silver-gilt medallion, 38 millimetres in diameter, with the letter V above two interlaced rings.

Reverse
The reverse displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Venda and, around the perimeter beneath, the words "MENDELE WA TSHUVELO KWAYO".

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide, with a 3 millimetres wide dark green band, a 2 millimetres wide brown band, a 22 millimetres wide dark blue band, a 2 millimetres wide brown band and a 3 millimetres wide dark green band.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold was discontinued when the Republic of Venda ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.

title: Plover-NET

text:
Plover-NET, often misspelled Plovernet, was a popular bulletin board system in the early 1980s.  Hosted in New York state and originally owned and operated by a teenage hacker who called himself Quasi-Moto, whom was a member of the short lived yet famed Fargo 4A phreak group. The popular bulletin board system attracted a large group of hackers, telephone phreaks, engineers, computer programmers, and other technophiles, at one point reaching over 600 users until LDX, a long distance phone company, began blocking all calls to its number (516-935-2481).

Naming and creation

The name Plover-NET came from a conversation between Quasi Moto, and Greg Schaefer.  The topic of computer games came up. One of them, the 'Extended Adventure' game which was based on the 'Original Adventure' fantasy computer game was mentioned. This game was available on Compuserve and during game play the magic word PLOVER had to be used.

Past sysop of Plover-NET included Eric Corley, under the pseudonym Emmanuel Goldstein, and Lex Luthor, the founder of the notorious hacker group Legion of Doom.

Quasi-Moto personally recounted the creation of Plover-NET,
I met Lex in person while we lived in Florida during the Fall of 1983 after corresponding via email on local phreak boards. I was due to move to Long Island, New York (516 Area Code) soon after and asked him about starting up a phreak BBS. He agreed to help and flew up during his Christmas break from school in late December 1983. We worked feverishly for a couple of days to learn the GBBS Bulletin Board software which was to run on my Apple with a 300 baud Hayes micoSLOWdom %micromodem% and make modifications as necessary. The system accepted its first phone call from Lex in the first week of January 1984 and it became chronically busy soon after.

Legion of Doom
Lex Luthor, under the age of 18 at the time, was a COSMOS (Central System for Mainframe Operations) expert, when he operated Plover-NET.  At the time there were a few hacking groups in existence, such as Fargo-4A and Knights of Shadow. Lex was admitted into KOS in early 1984, but after making a few suggestions about new members, and having them rejected, Lex decided to put up an invitation only BBS and to start forming a new group.  Starting around May 1984 he began using is position on Plover-NET to contact people he had seen on Plover-NET and people he knew personally who possessed the kind of superior knowledge that the group he envisioned should have.  He was never considered to be the "mastermind of the Legion of Doom", more the cheerleader and recruiting officer.

2600
Luthor met 2600 Magazine editor, Emmanuel Goldstein on the Pirates Cove, another 516 pirate/phreak BBS.
He invited Goldstein onto Plover and it wasn't long before it became an 'official' 2600 bbs of sorts. When a user logged off the system, a plug for 2600 was displayed with their subscription prices and addresses.

Operations
The Board initially ran on three Apple disk drives with 143 K byte capacity.  After a few months of operation, New York hacker Paul Muad'Dib appeared at a TAP meeting being held at "Eddies" in Greenwich Village with a RANA Elite III disk drive in hand. The RANA Elite III had a capacity of about 600 KB which put the total storage capacity of the BBS to just over one Megabyte, fairly large for a phreak board in those days. They gladly accepted the donation but did not ask how he obtained the disk drive. The RANA was later passed on to Lex which he used to house his extensive collection of phreak philes that were available to Legion of Doom BBS users. The location of the overworked RANA is currently unknown although Lex believes he sent it back to Muad'Dib around 1986.

In early 1985 Plover-NET officially closed permanently after Quasi-Moto moved back to Florida and was unable to gain traction in re-establishing the bulletin board when he put it back up after moving.

title: Your Television Babysitter

text:
Your Television Babysitter, also billed as Your TV Babysitter, was a daytime live television children’s series which debuted November 1, 1948, on the DuMont Television Network, and was hosted by Pat Meikle and created by her husband Hal Cooper.

Broadcast history
Your Television Babysitter was hosted by Pat (Mary Patricia) Meikle. In each episode, Meikle would tell a story using her “magic chalkboard”, from which colorful fairy-tale characters would appear, including Maxwell the Mouse. The series was produced by Hal Cooper (February 23, 1923 - April 11, 2014), Pat Meikle's husband. They married on December 21, 1944, had two children Bethami (b. August 16, 1954) and Pamela. Meikle and Cooper divorced in 1970.

Your Television Babysitter, which aired Monday through Friday 8:30am to 9am ET, led to a spin-off, Meikle and Cooper’s The Magic Cottage, which was aimed at slightly older children, and aired on weekday evenings from 6:30 to 7 pm ET.

According to the book The Forgotten Network, both series were well received at the time. Variety praised Meikle and stated that "her knowing method of not talking down to her moppet audience, is probably the answer to a mother’s prayer. She's already being touted as a new TV star..." The Magic Cottage continued on DuMont’s flagship station WABD until 1955. Meikle continued to work at WABD after both series had finished their runs.

Episode status
As with most DuMont series, no episodes are known to exist.

title: Trubaduren

text:
"Trubaduren" is a ballad song written by Magnus Uggla and Anders Henriksson, and performed by Magnus Uggla on the album Alla får påsar.

The song was tested for Svensktoppen, where it stayed for seven weeks during the period 17 September–29 October 1994, peaking at third position.

The song lyrics depict a male I-person together with some other people at a beach during a party in Tylösand, where the I-person searches for romance with a girl. Suddenly, a troubadour appears with the guitar and the harmonica, and begins to sing and play until the I-person walks home. Lyrically, the song mentions several songs, artists and music groups.

Lyrically, the song is one of those Uggla are the most pleased with. The Nanana-refrain was written so you could also sing the Simon & Garfunkel song The Boxer, a song popular among street musicians. According to Uggla, the idea for the song came when Hans Gardemar – a keyboard player he got to know during the Povel Ramel revue and who used to bring a melodica, to events like Uggla's birthday, appeared with his brother, who used to play the violin. The song is often played during Uggla concerts and has become popular as a sing-along song.

In the third season of the Swedish show Så mycket bättre, Uggla sang the song together with Olle Ljungström.

The Reverend Clement Smith, MVO, MA (died 22 May 1921) was a Canon of Windsor from 1902 to 1921.

Career
Smith was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated BA in 1868. He was ordained deacon in 1869 and priest in 1871, by the Bishop of Winchester (Samuel Wilberforce).

His first position was as second master of the Royal Grammar School, Guildford in 1869, where he served until 1874, when he accepted the curacy of Michelmersh, Hampshire. In 1878 he became vicar of Awbridge, in 1887 vicar of Hedge End (both in Hampshire), and in 1890 he moved to the Isle of Wight to become vicar of Newport Minster. Two years later he became vicar of the Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, Carisbrooke, and during these early years on the Isle of Wight he was frequently invited to preach for Queen Victoria at Whippingham and at the private chapel at Osborne House. In 1894 he was appointed by the Lord Chancellor to the rectory of St. Mildred's Church, Whippingham, in which diocese Osborne House was situated. As rector of the local parish, he often met the Queen and members of the royal family, and he was summoned during the Queen's illness before her death in January 1901. He was subsequently decorated with the Royal Victorian Order (MVO) by her successor, King Edward VII.

Smith was appointed honorary chaplain to Queen Victoria in 1893, and served as a chaplain in ordinary to the Queen from 1896 until her death in 1901. King Edward appointed him chaplain in ordinary to the King in 1901, and he served as such until the first year of the reign of King George V in 1910.

He was appointed to the fifth stall in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in March 1902, and installed as canon on 19 April 1902.  He held this position until he died in 1921.

Sandie was a British girls' comic, published by Fleetway, which lasted for 89 weekly issues between 12 February 1972 and 20 October 1973 before being merged into Tammy. The editor of Sandie was John Wagner.

Like many comics of its kind, the strips in Sandie focused on school, ballet, dogs and horses, and girl-next-door themes. Stories of girls confronting adversity predominated, with long-suffering heroines finally achieving happiness, while villainous relatives or girls who were liars, cheats, and bullies received their comeuppance.

The strips Wee Sue and Jeannie and Her Uncle "Meanie" moved to Tammy with the merger of the two titles.

title: Edward Falkener

text:
Edward Falkener (1814–1896) was an English architect and author.

Life
Born in London on 28 February 1814, he was the son of Lyon Falkener, head of the ordnance department in the Tower of London. He was educated at a private school in Kent, and after declining a nomination for the civil service of the East India Company on the ground of delicate health, he was articled to the architect John Newman (1786–1859). He became a student of the Royal Academy in 1836, and in 1839 gained its gold medal for a design for a cathedral church.

In 1842 Falkener started on a tour of most of the countries of Europe, on through Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, and visiting some of the Greek islands. He made  studies of the architectural remains in the various places he visited. While in Denmark he made sketches of the palace of Frederiksberg; it was burned in 1859 and Frederick VII of Denmark asked for Falkener's original drawings, to support restoration work; the king in acknowledgment made him a knight of the Order of the Dannebrog. In 1847, while he was at Pompeii, he was allowed to excavate, at his own expense, the "House of Marcus Lucretius", a plan and description of which was given in his Museum of Classical Antiquities. The Greek inscriptions he collected during his travels were edited in 1852 by Wilhelm Henzen.

Falkener practised as architect for a few years, building some offices on St. Dunstan's Hill, London E.C., and subsequently made alterations to his house at Glanymor, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire; but spent most of his time on writing and making drawings of restorations. From 1851 to 1855 he edited the Museum of Classical Antiquities. His drawings were exhibited in Paris at the Exposition Universelle, 1855, and gained him the grande médaille d'honneur, and in 1861 he was presented with another gold medal by the king of Prussia, for his works on classical archæology.

In 1866 Falkener married, gave up private practice, and retired to Wales; but he continued studies and restorations to the time of his death, at Glanymor on 17 December 1896. He was a member of the Academy of Bologna, of the Architectural Institutes of Berlin and Rome, and was elected honorary fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 2 December 1895.

Works

In 1839 Falkener published Was the Ceiling of the Parthenon flat or curved?. He wrote on lighting for museums of sculpture, and the artificial illumination of churches and mosques. He was a supporter of the lighting of Greek temples by the hypæthron, in opposition to the views of James Fergusson and Wilhelm Dörpfeld, and published On the Hypæthron of Greek Temples (London, 1861). Some of the illustrations in Fergusson's History of Architecture were by him, and many of his sketches were published in the Architectural Publication Society's Dictionary.

Falkener published also:

 Dædalus; or, the Causes and Principles of the Excellence of Greek Sculpture, London, 1860.
 Ephesus and the Temple of Diana, 1862.
 Games, Ancient and Oriental, 1892.
 As E. F. O. Thurcastle (i.e. Edward Falkener of Thurcastle) Does the "Revised Version" affect the Doctrine of the New Testament? (1884).

He frequently contributed to the Proceedings of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Family
In 1866 Falkener married Blanche Golding Victoria, daughter of Benjamin Golding, who, with a son and three daughters, survived him.

title: Enrique de Olavide y Michelena

text:
Enrique de Olavide y Michelena was the Governor of New Mexico (1746–1809) and the Mariana Islands (1749–1756 and 1768–1771).

Career
Enrique de Olavide y Michelena was appointed Governor of Santa Fe de Nuevo México in 1736.

Michelena, accepting a petition of Alferez Juan Josh Moreno, delivered seven grazing lands (including Cara Del Rio, Santa Cruz and San Marcos) to the garrison of the Presidio of Santa Fe, so that they would have a place where their horses could graze. After the lands were granted, the shepherds who brought their cattle and flocks to these areas were expelled for good. They were forced to leave the lands in fifty days. They would be fined fifty pesos if they did not obey.

Toward the end of his term of appointment, in 1738, Olavide y Michelena traveled to Albuquerque. There, he gave up a piece of land to Nicolas Duran De Chavez, which he could use
of temporarily way until a new governor was appointed to New Mexico to officially grant the request. The family of Duran was large and had few resources. He had nine children and a livestock from cows and sheep that had no grazing land.

He was replaced by Gaspar Domingo de Mendoza in the New Mexico government in 1738.

On 8 September 1749, Olavide y Michelina was appointed governor of the Mariana Islands. As the new governor, he promoted the settlement of voluntary families on the Guam island, allowing development. The law was based on the law of the Spanish Crown. At least 6 families came to the islands. Olavide y Michelena ended his term as Governor on 6 November 1756. Andrés del Barrio y Rábago replaced him. He was appointed Governor of the Mariana Islands a second time on 9 June 1768, ending this term on 15 September 1771. Mariano Tobias was appointed the next Governor of the islands.

title: John Bachtell

text:
John Bachtell (born March 26, 1956) is an American Marxist, activist, trade unionist, and community organizer who served as the Chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party USA from its 30th National Convention in 2014 until its 31st National Convention in 2019.

Career
Bachtell worked as an organizer for the Communist Party in Illinois and was a member of the party's National Committee. He was for a time the leader of the New York party.

In an article published in Political Affairs magazine right after his election, Bachtell laid out his analysis of the contemporary political situation in the United States and how Communists should conduct themselves within it. He emphasized that the Communist Party will seek a peaceful transition to socialism so long as it is possible, saying "Given the development of democratic institutions and traditions in the U.S., involvement in the electoral arena and political action is essential and grows in importance. It entails building broad anti-ultra right, reform and anti-monopoly coalitions that win majorities and thus power in every democratic institution e.g., school boards, planning boards, city council, county boards, state legislature, federal office, in 'red' and 'blue' states."

title: High Energy Physics Advisory Panel

text:
The High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) is a permanent advisory committee to the United States Department of Energy and the National Academy of Sciences, created in 1967 and organized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972.

Under the FACA, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel meets in public, and subpanels are appointed to meet and deliberate in private. In high-energy physics, peer review groups of scientists, knowledgeable in their fields, are asked to sit on these subpanels, and to make recommendations about future high energy physics. HEPAP either accepts or rejects panels’ recommendations, and the Department of Energy decides which projects to support in turn.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, a subcommittee of HEPAP, produces periodic reports outlining funding priorities for particle physics investments by the United States. The next P5 panel is scheduled to be convened in spring 2023.

title: Andrew Brook

text:
Andrew Brook (born March 17, 1943) is a Canadian philosopher, author and academic particularly known for his writings on Immanuel Kant and the interplay between philosophy and cognitive science. Brook is Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Carleton University, former President of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society, and former President of the Canadian Philosophical Association.

Biography

Brook was born in Edmonton, Alberta and   received  a BA in 1965 and a MA in 1966 from the University of Alberta. He then attended The Queen's College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, receiving a D. Phil from Oxford in 1973 with a dissertation On Self-Consciousness and Self-Reference supervised by  Anthony Kenny.
He then joined the faculty of Carleton University, eventually becoming Director of the Institute of Cognitive Science and Chancellor's Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science. His first book, Kant and the Mind was published by Cambridge University Press in 1994. He subsequently co-authored Knowledge and Mind with Robert Stainton (MIT Press, 2000) and  has edited several books on consciousness and cognitive science.

His work has primarily focused on Kant, theories of consciousness, and the relationship between philosophy and cognitive science, and  also includes environmental ethics and psychoanalytic theory. He was elected President of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society in 2013 and won the society's Douglas Levin Prize in 1991 and Miguel Prados Prize in 1994. He has been a Carnegie Mellon Fellow at Bryn Mawr College and a visiting professor in that college's   Environmental Studies Program.
Brook is married to Christine Koggel, Professor of Philosophy at Carleton University and former Harvey Wexler Professor of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College. The couple have two sons.

Writings

Kant and the Mind

Kant and the Mind was first published in 1994 by Cambridge University Press: in 1996 a paperback edition appeared. As Brook notes in the preface, Kant and the Mind was written for two audiences. First, cognitive scientists, philosophers of mind, and students of cognition. Second, Kant scholars. The book thus has two parts: the first four chapters provide an overview of Kant's model of the mind for general audiences. The second part, written primarily for Kant scholars, attempts to justify the reading given in the first four chapters.   Brook emphasizes in the book   that Kant had something to offer contemporary psychology, cognitive science and philosophy of mind. he  writes, "I think that the discoveries he made about the mind not only were a contribution in their time, but continue to be important now."
Brook attributes the following discoveries to Kant: 1) the mind has the ability to synthesize a single coherent representation of self and the world. 2) The mind has a unity that is necessary to produce representation. 3) The mind's awareness of itself has unique features stemming from the semantic apparatus that it uses to achieve this awareness. He also suggests that three of Kant's insights have been adopted by cognitive science: the transcendental method (inference to the best explanation), that experience requires both concepts and percepts; and his general picture of the mind as a system of concept-using functions for manipulating representations.   He explains that Kant distrusted introspection as a means of revealing the structure of the mind, yet also had deep reservations about Cartesian a priori arguments. The theory of mind that Brook finds in Kant is not based on either approach, but instead explores what powers the mind must have in order to have experiences and representations that it has.

Brook distinguishes four kinds of awareness, two of which are also kinds of self-awareness: simple awareness (awareness of an object without being aware of being aware), awareness with recognition, awareness of one's representational states and awareness of oneself as the subject of one's representational states. He divides the latter into empirical self-awareness (being aware of one's own mental states) and apperceptive self-awareness (ASA) (being aware of oneself as the subject of those states). ASA is not awareness of oneself as an object with properties; rather, ASA is a bald reference to oneself as existing as oneself. One need not ascribe to oneself any properties whatsoever. If Brook's reading of Kant is correct, then Kant discovered ASA 200 years before contemporary theories.

In addition to these distinctions, Brook writes  that Kant thought the mind is not merely the subject that has representations, but is itself a representation. ("The mind, the self, the understanding, the thing that thinks not only has representations; it is a representation.")
Not only is the mind a representation under this reading, but it is what Brook calls a global representation (the result of synthesis of a multitude of representations into a single intentional object). Brook argues that treating the mind as a global representation removes any risk of a homunculus problem (Hogan, 1996), and further argues that this global representation is the representational base for ASA.

Reviewing the book, Stevenson wrote in The Philosophical Quarterly, "I venture the judgement that this will be recognized as one of the most important books ever on Kant   However, Eric Watkins in the Journal of the History of Philosophy raised concerns about the literature Brook cited and the more controversial interpretations: "Brook neglects almost entirely the relevant German scholarship on Kant's theory of mind, in the form of work by G. Prauss, W. Carl, M. Frank, G. Mohr, B. Thole and D. Sturma" (Watkins, 1995, p. 3). Watkins further criticize Brook's claims that one can be aware of the mind as it is and that the mind is a global representation, since the latter directly conflicts with Kant's view that the noumenal self is immaterial, not a representation.

Knowledge and Mind

Knowledge and Mind is an introductory text   treating both epistemology and philosophy of mind l. Robert Stainton and Brook co-authored the book which was published in 2000. Divided into three parts, the first part discusses scepticism, knowledge of the external world and knowledge of language. The second part focuses on the metaphysics of mind, as well as free-will. The third discusses knowledge of mind, naturalism and how epistemology and philosophy of mind should resonate in cognitive science.

title: Lejeloven

text:
Lejeloven, formally Lov om leje, is a Danish law which governs rentals of residential tenancies in private rented accommodation, including single-family homes, condominiums, so-called mixed properties and club premises. The law therefore does not apply to public housing or to commercial leases.

The law is intended to protect the tenant, by, among other provisions, limiting how much a landlord may ask in rent; in addition, the rent must be proportionate to the value of the premises. The law also states that a maximum of three months' rent may be required as a deposit, and that there is to be a separate accounting for heating, and finally the law sets out the rules which apply with respect to maintenance and expenditures incurred in connection with improvements.

The Act is subject to periodic review and was last revised on 1 July 2015.

Public rental housing is governed by the so-called M ordningen, for miksordningen or mellemtingsordningen (mixed or temporary system).

title: Harry Braham

text:
Henry Nathaniel Braham (13 September 1850 – 21 September 1923) was a British music hall comic vocalist and actor. He toured with vaudeville impresario Tony Pastor in the 1870s and was a leading low comedian with American actor-manager William H. Crane for five years acting the part of Baron Ling Ching the Chinese Ambassador in Crane's most celebrated play, The Senator. He acted on Broadway in the light opera Sergeant Kitty with Virginia Earle, and then in silent film where he played Cameron's faithful servant (uncredited) in DW Griffith's controversial epic The Birth of a Nation.

Early life and career
Braham was born in 1850 in West Street in the rookery of Seven Dials in London, to artist Nathaniel Henry Braham and Susan Dorothy Frost, his father was Jewish, his mother Anglican and this interfaith marriage caused a split in the family when they married at St Martin-in-the-Fields on 11 November 1848.

Braham had two younger brothers, Charles who became an acrobat using the name Carl Robarts, and Edwin, who had mild learning difficulties and was cared for by the family but later suffered vascular dementia and died aged 58.

Braham became a minstrel through his uncle Frederick Burgess who managed, together with George Washington (Pony) Moore, The Moore and Burgess Minstrels at the St James's Hall in Piccadilly. He then went on to tour with minstrel companies including Wilsom and Montague appearing before Queen Victoria at Balmoral in October 1868.

Braham then started a career as a solo act in music hall as a comic vocalist using his expressive face in a myriad of facial expressions, conveying different characters. He named his act "Masks and Faces".

Braham sailed to Australia in 1871 in the clipper ship St Vincent with fellow minstrel Thomas Pedder "Tommy" Hudson who was to become famous as a manager of "Hudson's Surprise Party" which later toured India and Australia.

After having success in the early music halls in Sydney, in June 1872 Braham met Lizzie Watson, born Eliza Stephenson (c. 1840 – 17 February 1913), an Irish serio-comic and Burlesque actress ten years his senior. Watson was the headline star of Harry Rickards and Enderby Jackson's music hall touring company. Watson parted company acrimoniously from Rickards to start up her own company with Braham. They married on 6 February 1873 in Brisbane, and sailed from there to Sydney in April.

After further success as a partnership, in music halls in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, various surrounding towns which had benefited from the Gold Rush, such as Bathurst, West Maitland and Hill End and then in New Zealand, Braham and Watson sailed with the Billy Emerson minstrel company in June 1874 aboard the steam ship Tartar bound for San Francisco.

The ship however ran aground on a coral reef.  After landing safely at Honolulu where it was scheduled to make a stop, the Emerson company, Braham and Watson did not re-board but stayed a couple of weeks during which they were unexpectedly commanded to perform before the last King of Hawaii David Kalakaua. The company then sailed on to San Francisco where Braham and Watson performed at the Bella Union Saloon in the Barbary Coast district for an unprecedented 47 weeks.

When their contract finished Braham and Watson went to New York where they impressed the famous impresario and "father of vaudeville" Tony Pastor who invited them to tour with him. In 1876 Braham devised a solo act based on the art of Commedia dell'arte calling it "Silly Bill and Father" in which a model of an old man was made with Braham holding the model while acting the part of his son on the model's back.

Braham and Watson returned to the UK in February 1878 as the highest paid entertainers of their profession, and toured all of the main music halls throughout the country, including The Crystal Palace in London.

In 1881 Braham and Watson's marriage collapsed when it was discovered Watson who had entered "widow" on their marriage certificate was still married to her husband Henry Hemingway.

Theatre career

Braham carried on his solo career appearing with many of the "A-list" stars of the period such as Dan Leno, Vesta Tilley, and Arthur Lloyd. He then went to the US with his act "Masks And Faces" in 1887 and was approached to act in his first play on the legitimate stage, which was unusual for music hall artistes who did not usually transfer to the genre. This play Hoodman Blind was based on Othello in which he played the part of the blacksmith "Ben Chibbles" to wide acclaim for 35 weeks.
Braham then acted in Steele Mackaye's play Paul Kauvar (also entitled Anarchy) as Dodolphe Potin.

In 1889, William H. Crane, an influential actor-manager who was a personal friend of the President Grover Cleveland, signed him to be part of his company which included Georgie Drew Barrymore and subsequently Agnes Booth. For the next five years he played the part of Baron Ling Ching in Crane's most successful play, The Senator, among many others.

In February 1891 Braham's father died suddenly, but Braham could not break his contract halfway through the season, and while travelling back to the UK in June on board the steam ship City Of Richmond, the ship, which was carrying bales of cotton, caught fire during a storm mid-Atlantic. 3 ships – the City of Paris, the Servia and the Counsellor came to its rescue. One, the Counsellor was involved in a crisis of its own when the captain John G Jones dropped dead while signaling the Richmonds captain Redford.

In 1894 Braham parted from Crane and starred in Moses and Son, a play written specially for him. The play was a commercial failure and he returned to Europe, to star in Arthur Branscombe's successful play Morocco Bound.

In 1895 Braham's mother Susan died and after a period of mourning he returned to the music hall circuit appearing in 1899 at the Crystal Palace London with Loie Fuller pioneer of dance and lighting, famous for her serpentine dance. Braham appeared with Fuller again in the USA.

In 1900 Braham returned to the USA permanently and naturalised as an American citizen on 8 March.

In 1903 Braham went to Jamaica as headline act with the English Dramatic and Comedy Concert Party and returned to the US to act as Picorin the Baker in George R White's production of Sergeant Kitty with Virginia Earle, premiering on Broadway on 18 January 1904 at Daly's Theatre.  It played until 12 March 1904 (55 performances).

In 1907 Braham went on a major tour of the western USA in his solo act entitled "One Hundred Faces and Characters from Charles Dickens." Dickens had made his last reading at the St James Hall in London in March 1870 when Braham's uncle was manager of the minstrels there.

Films and last years
Braham switched between his solo act and legitimate theatre before going into film. in 1912 he acted in the short Suppressed Evidence, in 1913 The Vengeance of Heaven,  and in 1915 The Fight.

Braham's most important role, though uncredited, was in DW Griffith's major epic The Birth of a Nation which also starred Lillian Gish. Braham, who acted in blackface for the part of Cameron's servant as required by Griffith, was seen both in the first and second half defending his "master" Dr Cameron and can be seen with Gish at the end of the film racing by cart to a hut and being cornered by soldiers where Braham fights to the death.

Braham acted in his last play, another light opera Miss Springtime by Klaw and Erlanger, with some lyrics by PG Wodehouse in 1917.

Braham developed a kidney complaint and, unable to work, became destitute. He became a resident guest at the Actors' Fund home West Brighton Staten Island. He was diagnosed with "heart inflammation" in August 1923 and taken to Staten Island Hospital where he died on 21 September, eight days after his 73rd birthday.

Braham's funeral took place at Frank Campbell's funeral home on Broadway, he was cremated and his ashes interred in the Actors' plot Evergreen Cemetery Brooklyn New York.

title: Phyllis Harmon

text:
Phyllis W. Harmon (October 14, 1916 - August 26, 2016) was an American bicycle enthusiast.

Early life
Harmon was born in Chicago in 1916 and started cycling at the age of 12 after buying her own bicycle.

The League of American Wheelmen (L.A.W.)
The L.A.W., a national organization for cyclists, was founded in 1880 and actively defended the rights of cyclists until 1902, when the League became dormant. In the 1930s, Dick Wilson, a bicycle industry representative, invited members of the Evanston Bicycle Touring Club to become the first chapter of the inactive L.A.W. Harmon, age 19, joined and immediately began recruiting new members. After learning that three clubs could come together and form a council, she encouraged the Rambler Cycle Club and Oak Park Cycle Club to join with the Evanston club to become the first council in the League.

After World War II, the proliferation of automobiles and narrow highways left little room on the roads for bicycles. Bicycling was no longer safe or fun, so the League became inactive again in 1955. It re-opened again in 1966.

Harmon served the organization in every conceivable role as a volunteer, office staff, historian, treasurer, executive vice president, and interim executive director (a position she held for four years). She also served as editor of the League's monthly bulletin for more than thirty years.

Honors
 In 1979, Harmon was awarded the Dr Paul Dudley White Award, the League of American Wheelmen's top national award, honoring individuals who are an "inspiration to others for his or her commitment to the future of bicycling and to significant progress in education, safety, rights, or benefits of bicycling".
 In 1985, the League of American Wheelmen established the Phyllis Harmon Volunteer of the Year Award to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to bicycling.
 In 2005, she was listed as number 12 in the League of American Bicyclists' Top 25 Change Agents for Cycling, honoring "25 people who indelibly changed the face of cycling in America."
 In 2006, Harmon was inducted into The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation Hall of Fame.
 In 2009, Harmon was inducted into the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame and was, at the time, the oldest living member.
 The ‘Harmon Hundred’ is a 100-mile bicycle race in Wisconsin which is named after Harmon.

Personal life
Harmon was married twice and had six children.

Her final bicycle ride was at the age of 95, when she rode with her daughter in a Mothers’ Day trail.

She died in Florida a few months before her 100th birthday.
