title: Navekmisal Hanım

text:
Navekmisal Hanım (; 1827 - 5 August 1854; meaning "Coquettish"), called also Navekvisal Hanim, was a consort of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.

She was born in 1827 as a princess of the Caucasian Biberd family. His father was Prince Rustem Bey Biberd and Princess Fatma Kızılbek. She was raised in Istanbul under the tutelage of her aunt, Princess Keşfiraz Hanım, together with her sister Suzidilara Hanım, who entered the service of Abdülhamid II and died in 1919. She was introduced to Abdülmecid I by his mother Bezmiâlem Sultan.

Navekmisal married Abdulmejid in 1853. She was given the title of "Fourth Ikbal". She remained childless. In early 1854, she probably had fallen victim to the epidemic of tuberculosis then raging in Istanbul in the nineteenth century. On 24 February, she left the Dolmabahçe Palace because she was ill with tuberculosis. She died on 5 August 1854, at Şemsipaşa Palace located at Üsküdar. She is buried in the mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the New Mosque, Istanbul.

In literature
Navekmisal is a character in Hıfzı Topuz's historical novel Abdülmecit: İmparatorluk Çökerken Sarayda 22 Yıl: Roman (2009).

title: Kamures Kadın

text:
Kamures Kadın (; meaning "Bringer of pleasure"; called also Gamres, Kamres or Kamus Kadın; 5 March 1855 – 30 April 1921) was the first and chief consort of Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire.

Early years
Kamures Kadın was born on 5 March 1855. According to Palace documents she was born in Ganja, although there are doubts about that. She was sent to the Ottoman court when she was very young as a slave, which was the traditional custom. She received an excellent education and became an outstanding pianist.

She married the then-Prince Mehmed Reşad on 30 September 1872. She was his first consort. A year after the marriage, on 26 August 1873, she gave birth to her only son, Şehzade Mehmed Ziyaeddin.

Reign of Mehmed V
On 27 April 1909, after Mehmed's accession to the throne, she was given the title of "Senior Kadın".

In 1914, she met with Sultan Jahan, Begum of Bhopal. Sultan Mehmed, who knew Persian well, acted as interpreter between the two of them. Safiye Ünüvar, a teacher at the Palace School, commented in her memoirs about her beauty, and said that she still some of her looks, when the two met in 1915. Kamures had occupied herself with reading history, and whenever Safiye visited her she would always bring up with the subject of Ottoman history.

In 1918, she met with the king Boris III of Bulgaria, when he visited Istanbul. She was presented as Queen of Ottoman Empire. This was significant, since meeting a man meant that she broke the traditional harem seclusion. On 30 May 1918, Kamures met with the Empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma in the harem of Yıldız Palace, when the latter visited Istanbul with her husband Emperor Charles I of Austria.

Philanthropy
On 20 March 1912, the "Hilal-i Ahmer Centre for Women" was organised within the "Ottoman Hilal-i Ahmer Association", a foundation established in 1877 to provide medical care in Istanbul and surrounding communities. Kamures served as the honorary president of this organization. The same year, she also received the Ottoman Red Crescent Medal (Osmanlı Hilal-i Ahmer Madalyası), which was created shortly after the start of the Balkan Wars in November 1912. The award was given to those who would render beneficent services, materially or morally, to the organisation. She was the only Ottoman Muslim woman before the First World War to have received the medal in gold.

In February 1914, the organisation announced the start of a course for nursing aids, which would consist of eighteen lessons of two hours each on Fridays and Sundays. The classes were to be taught by Besim Ömer and Akıl Muhtar. Between 40 and 50 women participated in the course and at the end of the five months course 27 women successfully took the exam. These 27 women, who were all wives and daughters of prominent Ottoman officials, received their certificate during a ceremony in the presence of Kamures, of Naciye Sultan and her mother and other palace women.

In April 1913, Kamures served as the patroness of the organization Osmanlı–Türk Hanımları Esirgeme Derneği (Association for the Protection of Ottoman Turkish Women). The sultan donated 50 Ottoman pounds to the organization.

Death
After Mehmed's death on 3 July 1918, she settled in the palace of her stepson Şehzade Mahmud Necmeddin in Kuruçeşme, where she died on 30 April 1921, at the age of sixty-six. She was buried in the mausoleum of her husband located in the Eyüp Cemetery, Istanbul.

title: Mable E. Buland Campbell

text:
Mable Electa Buland Campbell (1885–1961) was a Professor of English in Washington State during the early 20th century, and was, at one time, the youngest person to hold a PH.D. in the United States. Buland was also active in women's groups associated with women's suffrage.

Early life and education
Raised in the western United States, Buland earned both her B.A. in 1904 and her M.A. in 1908 from the University of Washington. She did graduate work at Yale from 1906 to 1907, and from 1908 to 1909 and at Columbia University from 1907 to 1908 before receiving her Doctorate degree in English from Yale. At the time she completed her doctorate degree, Buland was the youngest Ph.D. in America.

Buland's dissertation, The Presentation of Time in the Elizabethan Drama, was published in 1912.

Career
While Buland was a Graduate student at the University of Washington, she worked as an Assistant in Pedagogy at the University. After receiving her graduate degree, Buland returned to Washington State to become a Professor of English at the University of Puget Sound from 1909 to 1910. From 1910 to 1911, Buland taught English at Whitman College.

After leaving her positions in higher education, Buland served as the City Superintendent of Schools in Kalama, Washington From 1915 to 1916.

Community involvement
Buland was an active member of the Kalama Woman's club, and served as the group's President during 1919. Women's clubs often offered women who had little or no access to education the opportunity to learn about current issues, particularly in Washington State, where women gained the right to vote before women in many other areas of the country. Women's clubs also focused significant time on issues surrounding women's suffrage

In the fall of 1924, when Emma Smith Devoe resigned from her position as vice-chair of the Republican State Central Committee, Buland took over the position, which was meant to help establish women's clubs and to organize Republican women for upcoming elections.

Personal life
In October 1911, Buland married George Norman Campbell, and in February 1917, the couple had a son, George Buland.

title: Pukala

text:
Pukālā (Nepalese language: पुकाला, "fried meat") is a traditional dish of boiled and fried variety meats of the water buffalo. The dish is a delicacy in the Newar cuisine of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal and is enjoyed during wedding and festival feasts. It is served after the main course and before dessert.

Food is an important element in Newar ritual and religious life, and specific food preparations are required for ceremonies and feasts. Pukālā is a mandatory item during festivals. Today the dish is also served as an appetizer or snack in restaurants.

Production

Pukālā is made by boiling variety meats like small intestines, liver, kidney, tripe, pancreas and spleen. The meat is then sliced into 1-inch pieces and pan fried.

title: Morgan Whyalla pipeline

text:
The Morgan – Whyalla pipeline was an engineering project undertaken by the South Australian Government in 1940 to bring water from Morgan on the River Murray to the industrial city of Whyalla. A second pipeline, by a divergent route, was laid in the 1960s.

History
In 1937 Premier of South Australia Richard Butler negotiated with BHP to erect a blast furnace at Whyalla to process iron ore from Iron Knob using brown coal from Leigh Creek. Lack of sufficient fresh water was an obstacle, To this end Butler pushed through enabling legislation and sent engineers to Western Australia to inspect their achievements in above-ground pipelines, notably the Goldfields pipeline engineered by C. Y. O'Connor. In 1938 Premier Thomas Playford increased the demands on BHP, and came to an agreement with Essington Lewis that if the company were to install a tinplate manufacturing plant, the State would supply the water infrastructure. Playford reckoned on the proposed pipeline also supplying the needs of Commonwealth Railways at Port Augusta for their Trans Australian and Adelaide-Port Augusta railway lines. Prime Minister Lyons agreed to help South Australia with a development loan.

In 1939 Lyons died and was replaced by Robert Menzies; shortly after, World War II broke out and Menzies joined with Britain in declaring war on Germany. Under the changed circumstances, Playford renegotiated the deal in terms of shipbuilding rather than tinplate manufacture. In 1940 the Commonwealth Water Agreement Ratification Act was passed, complementary legislation passed through South Australia's parliament and South Australia's Engineering and Water Supply Department was given the task of getting the job done, under considerable pressure from the War Department, and with reduced manpower and materials due to exigencies of wartime. The first stage, from Whyalla to the Baroota Reservoir, was rushed through to help supply water for shipping. The whole route, using continuously welded steel pipe (supplied by Hume Pipe Company), four pumping stations and 127 concrete storage tanks, was completed in 1944, just in time to alleviate a serious drought that had hit the Mid North of South Australia. The pipeline was officially opened by the Governor of South Australia, Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey in 1945.

Originally, the only water treatment was filtering at the intake, which could leave the water looking milky due to suspended colloidal clay. Over the years, the treatment processes have improved, with the Morgan Water treatment Plant opened in 1986. In 2016, water from the Morgan treatment plant was judged by the Water Industry Operators Association of Australia  as the best tasting tap water in South Australia. Morgan won the award again in 2017. A further upgrade including larger storage and upgraded filtration and disinfection was conducted in 2018.

Description
Morgan is a town on the Murray near the point where the river changes its westerly course to almost due south. The pipeline begins at a pumping station  upstream from Morgan at the most north-westerly point of the river. Here a large concrete chamber was constructed, the floor of which is below the river's low water level, and the walls of which rise to above the flood level. The chamber is somewhat elliptical in shape and is divided by a wall across the smaller diameter; one half housing the pumps and the other containing the screening machinery. The concrete walls of the chamber are over a metre thick to give it sufficient weight to prevent it floating during a flood. A control room above the chamber houses the switch board, instruments and a diesel stand-by generator.

Water is drawn from the river and passed through rotary screens with a fine wire mesh of 200 openings to the inch (80 per cm). This was originally the only filtration and removed all solid matter except colloidal clay, which when present gave rise to a milky appearance. The water received no other treatment, and its salinity and hardness were less than that of Mundaring water which is used in the comparable Goldfields pipeline. The centrifugal pumps were driven by 400 h.p. (300 kW) electric motors, the power for which was originally supplied from the Osborne Power Station, and later from Port Augusta. Each pump station is now connected directly to the ElectraNet transmission grid. The transformers were upgraded in 2015–2016.

Each pumping station fills receiving tanks elevated by  Each intermediate pump is at a lower elevation than the previous storage tank, so the centrifugal pumps run with a flooded inlet and do not require priming. The last pumping station near Robertstown operates into the Hanson storage tanks, which are  above sea level and  from Morgan. From Morgan to No. 4 pumping station the pipe passes through arid country; after that it passes through good agricultural land and thence through the Flinders Ranges at Hughes Gap. The pipe then follows the eastern side of Spencer Gulf to Port Augusta and after rounding the head of the gulf continues southward to Whyalla, again passing through arid country. The route was chosen to pass close to all the main reservoirs in the Mid North of South Australia, so that they could be supplied with River Murray water. From the Hanson tanks the water gravitates all the way to Whyalla, a distance of . The total length of the pipeline is  and the pipes, which are of steel, concrete lined and protected against external corrosion by "galvanite", a proprietary zinc coating, vary in size from  to .

The South Australian engineers followed the practice of the Goldfields Water Supply in adopting continuous welding of the pipes. This was soon vindicated when floods hit Port Augusta and Whyalla, causing damage to roads, bridges and the pipeline. At one place, where the water had swept across the road and piled timber up against the pipeline a length of pipe 80 m. between concrete blocks had been bowed outward by over a metre, but had not broken. In another place an 80 m. length of pipe had been completely undermined, and the pipe had sagged about a metre, being dragged down by a large concrete block, weighing about three tonnes, which was left suspended. Close to the block the pipe had buckled, and twisted through 180 degrees without fracture. Two breaks had occurred in the pipeline during the flood, both at places where it was carried over creeks on concrete road bridges. These bridges had been undermined and swept away, carrying the pipe with them. Repairs were made as soon as the flood subsided, and the supply to Whyalla was restored within ten days.

Water from the Morgan water treatment plant supplies over 130,000 people across the Mid North region of South Australia from Burra and Clare, South Australia across to central Eyre Peninsula.

Solar power
Commencing in 2019, the pumping stations are being fitted with solar panel arrays to reduce the cost of pumping water. The first of these was commissioned at Pumping Station Number 3 near Geranium Plains. The second will be at Pumping Station number 4 near Robertstown. The ground under the solar panel arrays will be planted with native grasses and ground covers to suppress dust.

Related pipelines
A second Morgan–Whyalla pipeline was commenced in 1963 and completed in 1967. It was made considerably shorter by passing the last section under Spencer Gulf rather than around it.

A similar project, the Mannum–Adelaide pipeline, began in 1949 and was completed in 1955, just in time to avert a serious water shortage.

Hage grew up between Beirut and Saudi Arabia, and moved to Paris aged 18 to study fashion design at Parsons School of Design (since renamed Paris College of Art), where she graduated in 2010. She has been based in London since 2016.

Career
After graduating from Parsons, Hage went on to work for Paris-based Croatian-German designer Damir Doma. Working with him and seeing the success he managed at a young age pushed her to start her own brand.

Nour Hage
Since launching her eponymous brand in 2013, she initially focussed on womenswear, pivoting to menswear after a move to London in 2016.

In the early part of her career, Hage often stated that her style is heavily influenced by the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic & philosophy, the belief that things shouldn't be perfect, which can be seen in the asymmetry of her designs, and the materials and textiles she uses. She has been noted for her artisanal approach and the craftsmanship of her pieces.

In recent years, her focus has turned to research-based design focused on finding stories in Arab and Middle Eastern heritage and culture, with her designs being described as "reinventing Arab menswear". Her design practice focuses on contemporary reimagining of traditional Arab menswear, including abayas, traditional shirts and thawbs.

In 2014, Hage was featured as one of the ten up-and-coming designers in Lebanon during the Newcomer's Exhibit at Beirut Design Week. In May 2015, Hage was listed amongst the 5 Lebanese designers reshaping the Beirut fashion scene by CNN, who noted that "Hage's designs diverge from the pretty, polished effect that many Lebanese women prefer."

She has frequently collaborated with leading Arab and South Asian artists, especially musicians, dressing them for performances. She has collaborated with actor Riz Ahmed, Narcy, Mashrou' Leila, Zahed Sultan, amongst others.

Textile Art
In 2019, Hage took her first leap into textile art with a group show at Dr. Johnson's House with a piece entitled 'Sultana Isabel', commissioned by the House and the Arab British Center. Her piece, an Elizabethan ruff died with indigo and turmeric, was a response to Samuel Johnson's play 'Irene' and a reevaluation of historic ties between England at the Arab and Islamic worlds.

In 2020, she took part in the Haramacy residency at The Albany in London.

A fellowship at the V&A Museum was announced in early 2020, where she will be exploring the museum's collection of textiles from the Middle East. The date of the fellowships is to be confirmed.

Digital Art
In 2021, Hage became part of a wave of artists exploring the creation of digital art using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Her digital work ties into the rest of her practice, by being tied to research into Middle Eastern art, culture and identities as well as incorporating digitized textiles.

Other work
She also teaches a knitting course at The Creative Space, a free education space in Beirut launched by fellow Parsons graduate Sarah Hermez. She has also lectured at City University in London.

Awards

Design awards
In November 2014, Hage was awarded the Boghossian Foundation Prize which includes a monetary grant and a residency at the foundation's headquarters at the Villa Empain in Brussels. The jury unanimously selected Hage because “she works [her] fabric with much precision and preciosity.”

Personal life
Hage is married to British-Lebanese writer and producer Nasri Atallah.

title: School of Silence

text:
School of Silence is a British children's TV series which airs on CBBC. The show ran from 2009 until 2013. In the show, a group of noisy children in a particular area of Britain are sent to the titular "School of Silence", where they must learn to be silent. The first season was presented by Barney Harwood, and the second season by Simon Greenall, as a narrator.

The children have 3 classes at the school, followed by a final exam. The headmistress, Miss Gobstop, is able to monitor the noise levels using a machine named the "Gobstop 2000". In the second season the machine is upgraded, to the "Gobstop 3000". In the first season, if the students pass the final exam, they graduate and take the "Golden Gobstopper" as a prize. In the second season, they get prizes from the confiscated cupboard. If they fail, they are expelled. In the first season, the expelled students receive a whoopee cushion, while in the second they receive nothing so no consolation prize for those who fail.

The first class is with Mr. Gross. His challenges included throwing wet toilet paper at a target called “Flying Toilet Paper”, the “Maggots Foot Spa” where the chosen participant would put their bare feet in a tub of maggots or in similar challenge where the chosen child would put their bare feet into slime filled boots which was called “Gunge Boot.” Other challenges included “Compost Ball Roulette” where the chosen child would have to crack a ball filled with either gunge or flour on their own forehead, a “Slush Avalanche” where one of the participants would pour freezing cold ice down their friends back & others named “Hairy Scary Werewolf” & “Pink Poodle” where the chosen child would be covered in treacle and artificial hair. This class was present in both season’s one & two.

In the first season, the second class is with Nora Nugget and her assistant, Britney Biscuit. In her challenge, students combine different foods, and one student is chosen to eat the final product of these combinations.

In the second season, Nora and Britney are replaced by Miss Adventure, a geography teacher and explorer. Challenges in her class involve custard pies to the face, contestant’s faces being painted on, and  riding adults dressed as camels.

In the first season, the third class is taken by Mrs. Bunsen, whose challenges are science-based.They included the “Human Carwash” where the chosen participant would endure shaving foam, wax (which was gunge), and a water rinse spray on the head and “Instant Snowman” where the chosen child would have to wear a black felt shirt and their friends would be throwing artificial snow at them to see if it would stick or not.

In the second season, the third class is taken by Mr Les Prance, a performing arts teacher. Challenges in his class are theatrically based, such as copying exercise routines whilst joined at the ankles and performing ballet with dog toys strapped to their shoes.

In the first season, the Final Exam is supervised by Colonel Kittens. The children are put in stocks, barefoot. For 90 seconds the students were tickled on their bare feet, as the teacher made faces and used a fart machine, to try to make them laugh or scream.

In the second season, Colonel Kittens was replaced by a German professor, named "The Professor", and his glove puppet assistant, ‘Herr Helmut’. In the Final Exam contestants are strapped to chairs and are confronted with Silly String, Pies and Gunge.

title: Tsien Tsuen-hsuin

text:
Tsien Tsuen-hsuin (; 11 January 19109 April 2015), also known as T.H. Tsien, was a Chinese-American bibliographer, librarian, and sinologist who served as a professor of Chinese literature and library science at the University of Chicago, and was also curator of its East Asian Library from 1949 to 1978. He is known for studies of the history of the Chinese book, Chinese bibliography, paleography, and science and technology, especially the history of paper and printing in China, notably Paper and Printing, Volume 5 Pt 1 of British biochemist and sinologist Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China. He is also known for risking his life to smuggle tens of thousands of rare books outside of Japanese-occupied China during World War II.

Early life
Tsien was born on January 11, 1910 in Taixian (modern Taizhou), Jiangsu Province, to a prominent family that descended from King Qian Liu, founder of the Wuyue kingdom. He began the memoir of his life by saying "I was born during the reign of the last Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty." His father Qian Weizhen () was a prominent scholar of Buddhism, and his great grandfather Qian Guisen () was a member of the Hanlin Academy.

Tsien began his education with a private tutor in 1916, and then entered Taixian No. 2 Senior Elementary School. He became active in political agitation when he was a student at Huaidong High School (now Taizhou High School). After graduating in 1925, he joined the "Youth Society" in Taizhou and edited its journal. Due to their political activities, Tsien and his colleagues were arrested by the Jiangsu warlord Sun Chuanfang. His family managed to secure his release, but the principal of Huaidong High School was executed. Unable to remain in Taizhou, he left for Nanking (Nanjing) and never returned to his hometown again. In 1927, he enlisted in the army to take part in the Northern Expedition's military campaign to unite China under the Nationalist government.

Career and contributions
Tsien entered University of Nanking in 1928 and graduated in 1932 with a degree in history and a minor in library science. He went on to the Jiaotong University Library in Shanghai. He then worked at the Nanking branch of the National Library. In 1936, he married Hsu Wen-chin. In early 1937, the National Library transferred him to the Shanghai branch to curate a large group of rare books and manuscripts which the government had sent there in 1931 when the Japanese army had invaded Manchuria.

In 1941, war with the United States meant that this group of books and manuscripts would no longer be safe even in Shanghai. Tsien packed some 30,000 of them for shipment to the United States for safekeeping. In order to evade Japanese confiscation, he marked them as new books and waited to ship them in small groups at times when he knew a friendly Chinese customs worker was on duty. He later recalled "had the Japanese occupying forces discovered this subterfuge, and that I had personally been responsible in this task, I would most likely have been executed." The Library of Congress microfilmed the collection to make it widely available.

After the end of World War II, Tsien was sent to the United States in 1947 to manage the repatriation of these volumes. However, the Chinese Civil War precluded shipping the books and his own return to China. In the mid-1960s, the United States gave the books to Taiwan, where the Republic of China government had retreated after losing the civil war. They are currently at the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Herrlee Glessner Creel, professor of Chinese at University of Chicago, invited "T.H.", as his friends called him, to catalog the roughly 100,000 Chinese books in the collection Creel had built. At Creel's suggestion, Tsien enrolled in the Library School, and soon was curator of the Far Eastern Library and professorial lecturer in Chinese literature in the Department of Oriental Languages and Literature. Tsien also earned Masters and Doctoral degrees in the Library School. He received a Ph.D. at Chicago in 1957; his dissertation was published by the University of Chicago Press in 1962 as Written on Bamboo and Silk:The Beginnings of Chinese Books and Inscriptions.

Tsien was especially concerned to build relations of cooperation between China and other countries. His master's thesis, "Western Impact on China Through Translation," was published as an article in 1954, and the 1869 donation of books by the emperor in Beijing to the Library of Congress was the subject of a 1964 article. His concern with scholarly communication between East and West led him to translate his English writings into Chinese and his Chinese writings into English.

Another major activity was encouraging the development of Chinese collections outside China and the promotion of librarianship as a profession. Many Chinese librarians received their training under his example and instruction, including ones who gained leading positions at Harvard-Yenching Library, Princeton University's Gest Library, and the Library of Congress.

In his nineties Tsien helped with the revision and proofreading for the 2nd edition of his Written on Bamboo and Silk, which appeared in 2004, and arranged for it to be translated into Chinese.

Tsien died on April 9, 2015, in Chicago, at the age of 105.

Family
Tsien's wife, Wen-ching Hsu (, 1916-2008), was one of the earliest teachers of Chinese at University of Chicago. She died in 2008. The couple had three daughters, Ginger Tsien (1936-2008), Mary Tsien Dunkel, and Gloria Tsien (b. 1940). Tsien's nephew, Xiaowen Qian, is an assistant to the curator for the East Asian Collection of University of Chicago.

Honors and awards
Tsien received a Distinguished Alumni Award from University of Chicago and also from Nanjing University. The National Library of China gave him the Distinguished Service Award in 1999. In 2007, Nanjing University established the T. H. Tsien Library in his honor. He donated thousands of books from his own collection to the library.

title: Taos Downtown Historic District

text:
Taos Downtown Historic District is a historic district in Taos, New Mexico. Taos "played a major role in the development of New Mexico, under Spanish, Mexican, and American governments." It is a key historical feature of the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway of northern New Mexico.

Geography
Taos Downtown Historic District is located in the center of Taos, New Mexico. It is roughly bounded by Ojitos, Quesnel, Martyr's Lane, Las Placitas and Ranchitos Streets.

More broadly the area originally called Don Fernando de Taos is located in the Taos Valley, alongside Taos Creek and about  south of Taos Pueblo. In the distance is Taos Peak.

History

Native Americans
Arrowheads, potshards and pictographs found in the area provide evidence that Native Americans ranged through the Taos area about 6,000 years ago. About 900 years ago Pueblo people moved into the Taos and Picuris Pueblo areas.

Spanish settlement
Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernando de Alvardo, entered the Taos Valley in 1540. The area was settled by Spanish colonialists starting about 1615. What had begun as good relationships between the people from the pueblo and the settlers became contentious due to "brutal treatment" of the pueblo residents by the Franciscan missionaries, pressure to convert to Christianity, and demands to make tributes to encomenderos. Some of the colonists left the Taos area in 1840 after the Franciscan priest was killed. In 1661 some people returned to the still difficult situation. Due to the poor treatment of the residents of the pueblo, a revolt by indigenous peoples in 1680 resulted in the Spanish being driven out of the area. Sixteen years later the Taos valley was resettled by Don Diego de Vargas of Spain with a renewed and more respectful perspective. Spanish families settled in the Taos Plaza area and Ranchos de Taos. In 1710 the Spanish regained the territory.

For protection against attacks by Plains Indians, many people of Spanish heritage lived on, or built houses very near, the Taos Pueblo. Subsequently, concerned about the rate of intermarriage between the Spanish and people of the pueblo, the Spanish were asked to move at least "one league" away from the pueblo.

In 1779 the Battle of Cuerno Verde was led by Juan Bautista de Anza against the Comanches. Several tribal leaders and the chief were killed during the battle. As a result, the hostilities by that tribe subsided. In 1794 an order was initiated that prohibited Spanish, Negroes and mulattoes from living on pueblo lands. In addition, the General Indian Policy by Commandant General Teodoro de Croix resulted in a reduction in hostile attacks in the Taos Valley.

In 1796, The Don Fernando de Taos Land Grant gave land to 63 Spanish families in the Taos valley, including the Taos Plaza which was then called Don Fernando de Taos. The settlement was built as a fortified plaza, with strong gates to enclose the settlement to protect the residents and livestock at threats of attack by Plains Indians. At each corner of the thick adobe walls of the plaza sentries stood guard for protection. Within the plaza, residents celebrated during fiestas, engaged in church festivities, and traded goods. It is now a central plaza surrounded by residential areas.

Taos was the most northern stop on the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, also known as the King's Highway, from Mexico City.

Mountain men who trapped for beaver nearby made Taos their home in the early 1800s. In December 1826 Kit Carson arrived and later married Josefa Jaramillo from Taos. At that time there were about 500 settlers in Taos. It was almost as important as Santa Fe and was the northernmost custom depot of the Spanish colonial settlements. As the Santa Fe Trail was established between the American territory of Missouri and Santa Fe, fur trade and goods trade developed in Taos for people of American, Spanish and Native American heritage. Santa Fe Trail traders included Charles Bent and William Bent who operated Bent's Fort. Goods produced in Taos included furs, blankets, and "Taos lightning", made from fermented wheat.

In 1826 Padre Antonio José Martínez began to serve the parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He also founded a newspaper, the first one west of the Mississippi, which was the precursor to the modern The Taos News.

In 1830 building housing a jail and courthouse was built on the north side of the plaza. The Columbian and Don Fernando hotels, saloons and gambling establishments were built to accommodate the influx of visitors to Taos.

American territory and settlement

The United States took possession of New Mexico in 1847 (during the Mexican–American War). In retaliation, some former Mexican citizens and Taos Natives rebelled and during the Taos Revolt Charles Bent, the first territorial governor, was killed in his home. In response, the United States Army killed more than 150 people at the Taos Pueblo and destroyed the original San Geronimo Mission. In 1850, New Mexico and Arizona became an official territory of the United States.

Taos, one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the Taos valley, has examples of Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival and Territorial architecture.

In 1930 several buildings on the plaza succumbed to fire, including the courthouse building and the Don Fernando Hotel. A new courthouse building was built and in 1933 and 1934 the Works Progress Administration funded the creation of murals within the courthouse. The frescoes were painted by Taos art colony members Emil Bisttram, Victor Higgins, Ward Lockwood and Bert Geer Phillips.

Taos art colony

In the late 19th century members of the Taos art colony settled in homes and studios around the plaza. The first of which were Bert Geer Phillips and Ernest L. Blumenschein who became "enthralled" by Taos scenery and clear light in 1898. The Taos Society of Artists was formed in 1912 with other artists who had moved to Taos.

Socialite Mabel Dodge Luhan arrived in Taos in 1917 and brought "creative luminaries" to the area, including Carl Jung, Georgia O'Keeffe, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Wolfe, Willa Cather, Ansel Adams, Thornton Wilder, and Aldous Huxley.

Hippie hang out
Inspired by the movie Easy Rider in which bikers "briefly discovered peace, creativity, and free love", Hippies arrived in Taos in the 1960s and 1970s and their residence influenced the culture of Taos.

title: Cycling at the 1960 Summer Olympics – Men's tandem

text:
The men's tandem at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy was held from 26 to 27 August 1960. There were 24 participants from 12 nations.

Competition format

Tandem cycling features a series of one-on-one, head-to-head races between teams. The 1960 Olympic competition included six rounds: heats, a two-round repechage, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.

 Heats: Because there were 14 teams entered, 7 heats were scheduled. The heats were not adjusted after 2 teams withdrew, essentially providing the teams in those heats with a bye. Otherwise, the winner of each heat advanced to the quarterfinals; the loser was relegated to the repechage.
 Repechage: There was a two-round repechage. One of the 5 teams that had lost in the heats did not contest the repechage. The remaining 4 teams paired off into two heats; the winner of each advanced to the repechage final while the loser was eliminated. The repechage final allowed the winner to advance to the quarterfinals; the loser was eliminated.
 Quarterfinals: Beginning with the quarterfinals, each match was best-of-three races. There were 4 quarterfinals contested by the 7 heat winners and 1 repechage winner. The winner of each quarterfinal advanced to the semifinals.
 Semifinals: The winner of each semifinal advanced to the gold medal final. The loser of each was scheduled to compete in a bronze medal final, though this was cancelled due to an injury withdrawal.
 Finals: A gold medal final and a bronze medal final were scheduled, but only the gold medal final was held.

title: Barnabas Wood

text:
Barnabas Wood (May 17, 1819 in Guilderland, New York – May 30, 1875 in Albany, New York) was an American dentist and inventor best known for his discovery of the fusible alloy known as Wood's metal.

Professional life
After briefly attending Albany Medical College in 1841, Wood began practicing dentistry in the company of his brother. In 1851, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he earned his medical degree from the University of Nashville in 1852.

In 1860, Wood announced the discovery of an alloy of bismuth, tin, lead, and cadmium, in proportions such that it had a very low melting point; James Dwight Dana subsequently proposed that it be named "Wood's Fusible Metal" in his honor.

Wood remained in Tennessee until the American Civil War began in 1861, at which point his "sympathy with the North" led him to return to New York. In 1867, he earned a degree from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery.

Wood also edited various periodicals, including The American Magazine and Repository of Useful Literature (1841–42), Southern Journal of Medical and Physical Sciences (1853–?), and The Dental Circular and Examiner (1860–1865).

title: 1916 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1916 State of the Union Address was given by Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States, on Tuesday, December 5, 1916. He personally addressed the 64th United States Congress. It was given on the eve of the United States' intervention in World War I. He said, "And, sixth, the lodgment in the hands of the Executive of the power, in case of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railways of the country as may be required for military use and to operate them for military purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United States such train crews and administrative officials as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use."  He ended with, "Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the Sixty-fourth Congress, I hope that you will permit me to say with what genuine pleasure and satisfaction I have co-operated with you in the many measures of constructive policy with which you have enriched the legislative annals of the country."  The 1916 presidential election was over, and Wilson had been re-elected.

title: Unizin

text:
Unizin (pronounced [ju.nɨ.zɪn] (IPA) or "yo͞o-nə-zin") is both a consortium of higher education institutions and a service provider.  The Unizin consortium was founded in 2014 by Colorado State University, University of Florida, Indiana University, and University of Michigan.  On July 22, 2014, Unizin named Amin Qazi its founding CEO.  The Unizin service debuted its first offering, Canvas by Instructure, in late summer 2014. The goal of the Unizin service is to standardize digital learning by creating common standards that enable collaboration within the higher education community. The Unizin consortium offers a channel for collaborating on solutions to the many challenges being faced by educational institutions, as well as a means for those institutions to collectively govern resources and cost-effectively control infrastructure necessary to enable innovation at their universities. Unizin, Ltd. is a registered 501(c)(3).

Background
In June 2014, Internet2 and each of the four founding member universities separately announced Unizin.  On October 1, 2014, Unizin announced three additional universities had joined, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Minnesota, and Oregon State University.  On December 18, 2014, Unizin announced it had added three additional members: University of Iowa, Ohio State University, and Penn State University. In June 2015, Unizin also welcomed the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Representatives from each of the founding institutions comprise the Unizin board of directors. In July 2015, Unizin announced its first subscribing member and first university system the State University System of Florida. On May 1, 2016, Unizin became an independent incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Unizin Ltd.

Components
Unizin is a cloud-scale service operator and integrator focused on improving learner experiences with digital teaching and learning resources.  It provides services to support the Digital Education offerings of its members and subscribers including services for Content, Learning Environments, and Analytics.

Content
According to Unizin.org, member instructors “will be able to share their own teaching content, and gain access to a repository of shared digital content from campus colleagues and others at member institutions." In July 2015, Unizin acquired the software and trademark for Courseload, an eText reader and collaborative tool. Unizin's former COO, Robin Littleworth said in a blog post that Courseload will form the foundation for Unizin's Content Relay. "The Content Relay is aimed at making two problems easier to address," said Littleworth. "Creating and supporting simple and sustainable workflows around 1) the deposit and distribution of faculty/institutionally generated content; and 2) the discovery of content that can be used in classes, labs, and experiential learning settings (e.g., repositories, OER, institutionally licensed content, publisher paid content, etc.)." Unizin also makes content discoverable and portable, providing higher education institutions with an exit strategy should they choose to switch service providers.

Platform
Unizin announced that Canvas by Instructure would serve as the learning management system (LMS) for its members, though members could continue to run other LMSs in parallel. Members chose Canvas in part because it meets IMS Global open standards; also much of the LMS is open source software. The Unizin consortium has not announced details of additional platforms that may be part of the Unizin service.

Analytics
The Unizin Data Platform (UDP) offers data products and services for learning analytics, application development, research, and business intelligence. By operating on common platforms, Unizin members can not only leverage learner outcome analytics both within and across institutions, but can also save time and effort with data management tasks. Unizin further states that analytics will not only help improve learning, but will also be available for research. The UDP collects and standardizes data from a variety of sources using the Unizin Common Data Model (UCDM) and gives researchers and analysts access to data marts, real-time event processing, and APIs. The UCDM is the standard for representing data from across the teaching and learning ecosystem and normalizes data from across a range of systems and tools.

title: Uspenka

text:
Uspenka () is an urban-type settlement in Luhansk Raion, a part of Luhansk Oblast within Ukraine. It is located in the eastern part of the greater Donbas region. Population: , .

The village was founded as Vilkhova (, lit. Alder) in 1755, after a colonel received a grant of land from the Tsar of Russia. The name "Uspenka" became established in the seventy years after the founding of the village. The town has a long history of coal mining, with the first mine established in 1802. The population of the village has greatly declined with the mining and coke industries: in 1966, there were 18,800 residents; in 2001, only 9676. There is still a coke works in the village that employs some residents, but many commute to Lutuhyne for work. Since 2014, Uspenka has been controlled by forces of the Luhansk People's Republic.

title: Some Girls: My Life in a Harem

text:
Some Girls: My Life in a Harem, a book published in 2010 and written by Jillian Lauren, is an autobiographical account of her experiences as one of the paid young female "guests" of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, brother of the Sultan of Brunei, between 1992 and 1995.

The book focuses on Lauren's personal experiences, and includes a description of the arrangements she says were an established practice for young female guests of the prince during part of the 1990s.
 Young, attractive women were hired for a short-term contract, typically for three weeks.
 Contracts in some cases got extended, in some cases for up to a year or two or more.
 The female guests were accommodated in luxurious houses on the grounds of the royal estate, and had only limited access to places outside of the property.
 The female guests were paid relatively well, in the order of US$20,000 per week, and were additionally given valuable gifts such as jewellery.
 The female guests were expected to attend a party on any evening when Prince Jefri was expected to be present. The party would include one- or two-dozen of the paid women, Prince Jefri, and a number of Jefri's friends and other male guests. The parties involved singing, dancing, drinks, and light entertainment. One girl would typically leave the party with Prince Jefri for some time.
 The female guests would sometimes, although rarely, be escorted to meet with Prince Jefri during daytime in his office.

According to the book, Lauren became Jefri's number two girlfriend, leading her to meet the Sultan in person, as well as to travel abroad with Jefri's entourage. She said her total income between 1992 and 1995, from about two years presence in Brunei, was about US$300,000.

People other than the royalty of Brunei are primarily mentioned in the book by first name only. One of the guests, Sheila, was a former Penthouse "Pet of the Year", who had lived with the family of Bob Guccione before joining the harem. One of the long-term guests, Fiona, was a former TV actress from the Philippines, whom Jefri had first seen on television. After a long presence as the number one girlfriend, Fiona was awarded one million dollars and an engagement ring, as a part of an offer for her to join the ranks of Jefri's multiple wives, but Fiona rejected the offer and left Brunei.

title: Justin McCarthy (artist)

text:
Justin McCarthy (May 13, 1891July 14, 1977) was a self-taught American artist. His work is in many important collections, including those of the American Folk Art Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Petullo Collection, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
The New York Times has praised his "paintings and drawings of gestural force and narrative interest." McCarthy's imagery anticipates the Pop art of the 1960s.

Life and work

McCarthy lived for almost his entire life in the small town of Weatherly, Pennsylvania, where his family was well established (a patrician background uncommon among self-taught artists). He failed his second year exams while in law school at the University of Pennsylvania, which led to a severe mental breakdown, after which he was institutionalized for years before returning "to his family's decayed mansion, where he lived with his mother." This breakdown saved him from the trenches of World War I, but considerably reduced his professional prospects. McCarthy then turned to art as a therapeutic outlet from the menial work he was limited to by his precarious mental health. His mother died in 1940, leaving him alone in the big, dilapidated house (which was grand enough to have its own theatre for the staging of plays).
His art depicts figures from popular culture as well as animals, biblical scenes, and everyday life. Pictorially, he had a predilection for glamorous women—movie stars, fashion models, and other celebrities—as well as sports heroes. This interest in popular culture was not uncommon among American artists in the 1920s: both Stuart Davis and Gerard Murphy incorporated the visual argot of advertising into a bright Cubist syntax. Unlike these proto-Pop artists, however, McCarthy's style is expressionist, with a highly gestural and textured appearance that readily calls to mind works by European masters such as Emil Nolde and Chaïm Soutine. (The most significant early "discoverer" and promoter of McCarthy's art, Sterling Strauser, characterized his style as "naive expressionist.")

title: Biketoberfest

text:
Biketoberfest is an annual motorcycle rally held in the fall in Daytona Beach, Florida since 1991 or 1992.  In 1992 it was known as "Daytona Fall Tour"; in 1993, it started to be called Biketoberfest, and is now known as the "little brother" of the spring Daytona Beach Bike Week event. Attendance for Biketoberfest 2013 was estimated to be c. 100,000 visitors.

The event's organizing authority is Halifax Area Advertising Authority, whose director has noted attendance has dropped off since 2004, and the 100,000 attendance figure is an approximation as entry is free without a ticket, and that the true attendance is "nearly impossible to count". Local merchants have asked to have the event extended from four days to 10 days in duration. The advertising authority withdrew plans for a $300,000 advertising campaign in Ohio after studies showed negative perceptions of the Daytona Beach area.

Reporters have noted that compared to the spring Daytona rally, Biketoberfest features a higher proportion of choppers in attendance, warmer local waters and weather in transit from the Northeast United States, more new-model introductions from manufacturers, and less crowded streets and more abundant lodging.

The Buffalo Chip Campground (better known for its Sturgis Motorcycle Rally presence) opened a site at Daytona just before Biketoberfest 2004, raising concerns about public nudity. Earlier concerns had prompted the creation of a city ordinance with unusually detailed definitions of body coverage, gaining international attention. The ordinance was deemed unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds by a Federal judge in 2006.

Like the spring bike event in Daytona Beach, Biketoberfest features coleslaw wrestling.

While the racing at Daytona International Speedway is more club-oriented, the CCS-sanctioned Fall Cycle Scene races at the Speedway are technically part of Biketoberfest, similar to Bike Week's Supercross-oriented draws.  The 2020 event will have the most races of a previous event, as the COVID-19 pandemic led to cancellation of all Bike Week road racing events, with the majority of events (including Bike Week's Flat Track races) moved to Biketoberfest.  (The Daytona 200 was not held.)  In 2022, Biketoberfest will extend to DeLeon Springs, as American Flat Track  will hold the season finale of their series at Volusia Speedway Park for Biketoberfest, as the season starts at Daytona Beach Bike Week at the circuit.

In media and the arts
The American Chopper television show pilot aired in January, 2003, titled "Biketober", concerned a custom motorcycle presented at Biketoberfest.

The pilot for a 2006 show, The Metric Revolution, was filmed at Biketoberfest.

The first Orange County Choppers themed motorcycle, a Spider-Man themed build, was done for Biketoberfest, as was the very first OCC bike "True Blue", shown there in 1999.

Performance artist Paul Zaloom created a 2006 shadow puppet play based on his experiences at Biketoberfest.

title: 1917 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1917 State of the Union Address was given by Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States on Tuesday, December 4, 1917, during his turbulent second term.  He spoke in the United States House of Representatives chamber, in the United States Capitol. He said, "I shall not go back to debate the causes of the war. The intolerable wrongs done and planned against us by the sinister masters of Germany have long since become too grossly obvious and odious to every true American to need to be rehearsed."  He addressed the 65th United States Congress, and spoke of World War I. He ended with, "A supreme moment of history has come. The eyes of the people have been opened and they see. The hand of God is laid upon the nations. He will show them favor, I devoutly believe, only if they rise to the clear heights of His own justice and mercy."  In the middle of the speech, he said this about the German Empire, "The worst that can happen to the detriment the German people is this, that if they should still, after the war is over, continue to be obliged to live under ambitious and intriguing masters interested to disturb the peace of the world, men or classes of men whom the other peoples of the world could not trust, it might be impossible to admit them to the partnership of nations which must henceforth guarantee the world's peace."  He is saying that empires' do not promote world peace.  A year after he gave this speech, on December 4, 1918, the United States military would swallow Germany in victory, and the saying that is written would come true, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
