title: Corruption in Illinois

text:
Corruption in Illinois has been a problem from the earliest history of the state. Electoral fraud in Illinois pre-dates the territory's admission to the Union in 1818. Illinois had the third most federal criminal convictions for public corruption between 1976 and 2012, behind New York and California. A study published by the University of Illinois Chicago in 2022 ranked Illinois as the second most corrupt state in the nation, with 4 out of the last 11 governors serving time in prison.

Federal
Several members of Illinois's delegation to the United States Congress have been convicted of crimes.

U.S. Senate
 William Lorimer (R) U.S. Senator from 1909 to 1912.  The Senate voted that Lorimer's election used corrupt practices and vote buying and declared it invalid. He was then removed from office.

U.S. House of Representatives
 Dan Crane (R), a U.S. congressman from 1979 to 1985, was censured in the 1983 congressional page sex scandal for having sex with a young congressional page. Crane was defeated for re-election in 1984 and returned to dentistry.
 Dan Rostenkowski (D) was a U.S. congressman from Chicago for 36 years, from 1959 to 1995.  He was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee from 1981 to 1994.  After a federal investigation he was accused of various acts of corruption, such as accepting kickbacks, using official funds for personal expenses, and participating in what became known as the Congressional Post Office scandal.  In 1996 he pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud and was sentenced to 17 months in prison.
 Dennis Hastert (R) was a congressman from 1987 to 2007.  He was the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House, from 1999 to 2007. In 2006, Hastert became embroiled in controversy over his championing of a $207-million federal earmark (inserted in the 2005 omnibus highway bill) for the Prairie Parkway, a proposed expressway running through his district. The Sunlight Foundation accused Hastert of failing to disclose that the construction of the highway would benefit a land investment that Hastert and his wife made in nearby land in 2004 and 2005. Hastert received five-eighths of the proceeds of the sale of the land, turning a $1.8 million profit in under two years. Hastert's ownership interest in the tract was not a public record because the land was held by a blind land trust, Little Rock Trust No. 225.  There were three partners in the trust: Hastert, Thomas Klatt, and Dallas Ingemunson.  However, public documents only named Ingemunson, who was the Kendall County Republican Party chairman and Hastert's personal attorney and longtime friend. Hastert denied any wrongdoing. In October 2006, Norman Ornstein and Scott Lilly wrote that the Prairie Parkway affair was "worse than FoleyGate" and called for the Speaker's resignation.  In 2015, Hastert pleaded guilty to structuring bank withdrawals to evade bank reporting requirements, a felony.  In 2016 he was sentenced to 15 months in prison.  At his sentencing hearing, he admitted that he had molested several boys when he was a high school wrestling coach in the 1960s and 1970s, and that he had used the improperly withdrawn funds to buy the silence of one of the victims.
 Mel Reynolds (D) was a U.S. representative from 1993 to 1995.  He resigned from Congress after being convicted of having sex with an underage campaign worker.  While serving a five-year prison sentence, Reynolds was convicted in 1997 of unrelated charges of bank fraud and using campaign finances for personal expenses.  He received a -year sentence but was released in 2001 when his sentence was commuted by President Clinton.  In 2017 Reynolds was found guilty of failing to file federal income tax returns. He received a six-month sentence for this third conviction.
 Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D) succeeded Mel Reynolds as congressman from Illinois's 2nd congressional district, serving from 1995 until his resignation in 2012.  On February 8, 2013, Jackson admitted to violating federal campaign law by using campaign funds to make personal purchases. Jackson pleaded guilty on February 20, 2013, to one count of wire and mail fraud. On August 14, 2013, he was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison.

title: Fox and Pheasant

text:
The Fox and Pheasant is a pub at 1 Billing Road, Chelsea, London SW10 9UJ.

The Fox and Pheasant Public House was built c.1846-8 on land acquired by Edward Gingell from William Allen. Allen was said to have been an unreasonable and litigious man and the odd curved section dividing the frontage of the pub could derive from his wrangling over the sale of the land or the line of the buildings.

It was originally called the Bedford Arms, then the Prince of Wales ten years later, and in 1965 it was renamed the Fox & Pheasant. It was fully refitted in about 1930, and that interior remains largely unchanged today.

It is on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors and is part of the Billings conservation area.

In 2017, The Fox and Pheasant was sold by Greene King and bought by singer James Blunt. It went through major restoration, and re-opened on 27 June 2018.

title: Scenic byways in the United States

text:
Many roads and highways in the United States are labeled scenic byways for having exceptional scenic, historical, archaeological, natural, cultural, or recreational significance. These scenic routes are usually formally designated by national, state, or local agencies in recognition of these qualities, and many are also preserved or managed with special legislation and funding beyond what is required for ordinary road maintenance.

National

Several agencies of the United States federal government are authorized to designate and manage scenic byways. The National Scenic Byway Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, was founded in 2003 to support efforts for development, management and marketing of scenic byways by the Federal Highway Administration and byway organizations. National scenic byways include:
 Bureau of Land Management Back Country Byways, designated by the Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Department of the Interior)
 National Forest Scenic Byways, initiated by the United States Forest Service (U.S. Department of Agriculture)
 National Scenic Byways, managed by the Federal Highway Administration (U.S. Department of Transportation)
 Some National Scenic Byways are further classified as "All-American Roads", a higher status reserved for especially distinctive roadways. Both classifications are often collectively marketed under the term "America's Byways".
 National Parkways, managed by the National Park Service (U.S. Department of the Interior), are similar to the other federal scenic byway designations except that they protect not only the roadway but also an extensive corridor of surrounding parkland.

State

Many individual state governments also sponsor programs for designating scenic byways, which is often the first step towards the designation of a National Scenic Byway by the Federal Highway Administration. Generally the state byways are nominated by local communities with the assistance of the state's department of natural resources and tourism offices and then designated by the state's department of transportation. Forty-eight U.S. states and the District of Columbia manage scenic byways programs that operate as part of the National Scenic Byways Program.

Tribal

The Navajo National Scenic Byways were developed by a task force including the Arizona Department of Transportation and Bureau of Indian Affairs and are administered with the cooperation of the Federal Highway Administration.

Francesco Maria Tricarico (Milan, 1 February 1971), better known under the mononym Tricarico, is an Italian singer-songwriter. Tricarico is mainly known for his top-five hits "Io sono Francesco", released in 2000, and "Vita tranquilla", which was launched during the Sanremo Music Festival 2008.

Music career
Tricarico rose to fame in 2000, when he released his debut single, "Io sono Francesco", which hit number one in Italy, selling more than 60,000 copies and generating some controversy following its lyrical content, which included an insult to a school teacher and was therefore censored by some radio stations. Tricarico's self-titled debut album was released two years later.
After releasing his second album, Frescobaldo nel recinto, Tricarico wrote and recorded the song "Solo per te", which was played during the ending credits of Leonardo Pieraccioni's film I Love You in Every Language in the World. The song received a nomination for the Nastro d'Argento 2006 for Best Original song.

In 2009, Tricarico competed in the Big Artists section of the 58th Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Vita tranquilla", which received the Critics' Award "Mia Martini". The song was included in his third studio album, Giglio.
Tricarico returned competing in the Sanremo Music Festival in 2009, performing the song "Il bosco delle fragole", and in 2011, singing "Tre colori", but both entries failed to reach the final. The songs were included in the albums Il bosco delle fragole (2009) and L'imbarazzo (2011), respectively.

In 2013, Tricarico released his sixth studio album, Invulnerabile.

title: SmartThings

text:
SmartThings Inc. is an American home automation company headquartered in Mountain View, California. Since August 2014 it is a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics.

Founded in 2012, it focuses on the development of eponymous automation software and an associated array of client applications and cloud platforms for smart homes and the consumer Internet of things. SmartThings cites its platform as having 62 million active users, a number it claims increased 70% through 2019 and 2020.

History
SmartThings was conceived by co-founder and once-CEO Alex Hawkinson in the winter of 2011. Hawkinson tells that his family's unoccupied mountain house in Colorado was extensively damaged by water pipes that first froze and subsequently burst resulting in some $80,000 worth of damage. Hawkinson noted that he could have prevented the damages had he known what was happening inside the house. Through 2011 and 2012, Hawkinson and his SmartThings co-founders worked to build a prototype of their desired solution to such problems. That prototype would go on to form the basis of a successful Kickstarter campaign which the developers launched in September 2012 and that would go on to secure US$1.2 million in backing, making it the second largest, smart-home focussed crowdfunding project to date.

Raising $3 million in a December 2012 seed funding round, SmartThings would go on to commercially launch its products in August 2013 before raising a further 12.5 million in a Series A funding round in late 2013.

In August 2014, Samsung Electronics announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire SmartThings. The financial terms of the deal were never publicly disclosed but were estimated as high as $200 million by some trade publications at the time.

Products and services
Initially SmartThings produced a suite of custom hardware and software services, including smart home hubs and sensors. In June 2020, SmartThings' engineering head Mark Benson announced that SmartThings would pivot away from manufacturing its own hardware and instead focus on software. The company hopes to enlist other companies to manufacture and distribute SmartThings hardware. In October 2020, SmartThings announced that Aeotec will take over its European hardware line. In December 2020, Aeotec revealed that it would also manage the SmartThings hardware portfolio throughout Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

As of February 2021, SmartThings develops software and cloud services.

title: Canelloni, Macaroni

text:
"Canelloni, Macaroni" is a song written by Lasse Holm, and recorded by him released as a single in 1986.

The song chartered at  Svensktoppen for 13 weeks between 18 May-12 October 1986, even topping the chart.

The song was also performed in the TV programme Razzel, and was originally written with lyrics in English. But arranger Lennart Sjöholm wanted the song to be in Italian, as it included arias. Lasse Holm then went to different pizzerias reading menus over Italian food. Bert Karlsson wanted the song for Melodifestivalen, which never occurred, and the song became popular at pizzerias.

A video was also recorded. Four cranes were used, and the cameras rolled over long tables with Lasse Holm singing wearing a white suit. In England, it was appointed "worst video ever". In an Adressändring commercial, Lasse Holm stated that he came up with the lyrics when getting an advertising flyer from a pizzeria, but first thought it was proposed song lyrics, which he had ordered. Soprano Åse Enhamre also participated in the recording.

The song also appears in the 2014 film The Anderssons Rock the Mountains.

title: Bear Flag Monument

text:
Bear Flag Monument (also known as Raising of the Bear Flag) is a public artwork located at the Sonoma Plaza in Sonoma, California in the United States. A monument to the Bear Flag Revolt, the piece is listed as a California Historical Landmark.

Description

The sculpture depicts a man holding a flag on top of a rock, which serves as base for the bronze sculpture. The rock weighs approximately 40 tons. The man holds a flagpole in his proper left hand. In his proper right hand he holds a hat. He stands up straight and is wearing a neckerchief and a long sleeve shirt that is rolled up to his elbows. Four bronze plaques are located on the rock base, two on the front and one on the back. The lower right front plaque serves as the artist signature and is inscribed with: McQuarrie. The lower left plaque states who the foundry was: L. DE ROME FOUNDERS. The main plaque shows a grizzly bear standing on all fours on top of a shield with flags of the United States and California. The flags are crossed over each other. On the front of the base is inscribed:

THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY THE NATIVE SONS OF THE GOLDEN WESTAND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO COMMEMORATE THE RAISING OF THE BEAR FLAGON THIS SPOT ON JUNE 14 1846 BY THE BEAR FLAG PARTY AND THEIR DECLARATIONOF THE FREEDOM OF CALIFORNIA FROM MEXICAN RULE. ON JULY 9 1846 THEBEAR FLAG WAS HAULED DOWN AND THE AMERICAN FLAG HERE RAISED IN ITSPLACE BY LIEUTENANT JOSEPH W. REVERE U.S.A. WHO WAS SENT TO SONOMAFROM SAN FRANCISCO BY COMMANDER JOHN B. MONTGOMERY OF THE U.S. SLOOPOF WAR "PORTSMOUTH FOLLOWING THE RAISING OF THE AMERICAN FLAG AT MONTEREYJULY 7 1846 BY COMMODORE JOHN DRAKE SLOAT.

A founder's mark can also be seen on the plaque. The plaque on the rear depicts the actual revolt, with men on horseback and on foot raising the bear flag. It is inscribed:

THE RAISINGOF THE BEAR FLAGJUNE 14, 1846

The monument is located on the northeastern corner of the Sonoma Plaza. This is the presumed spot where the Bear Flag Revolt took place. Nearby the monument is another monument, a large boulder with a bronze plaque placed on it, that states that it is the location where the bear flag was raised.

Additional information

The plaque that is on the back, which depicts the raising of the bear flag, was originally on the front of the base. It was moved between the years 1914 and 1923. On June 1, 1932, the monument was declared a California Historical Landmark, making it the seventh landmark to become named to the list. The bear flag is raised at the monument at the annual Bear Flag Celebration.

Acquisition

The piece was acquired by the state of California and the Native Sons of the Golden West as a tribute to the 68th anniversary of the bear flag being raised during the Bear Flag Revolt. Groundbreaking for the site took place on October 30, 1913. It was estimated that 500 members of the Native Sons of the Golden West were in attendance. After the groundbreaking, dinner was served by the Native Daughters of the Golden West. The casting of the monument cost $5,000. The rock base and sculpture were installed onsite days before the dedication. The monument was dedicated on June 14, 1914. Then California governor Hiram Johnson spoke at the dedication. An estimated "1,000 automobiles," and "at least 5,000 visitors" attended the event. At the time, it was stated to be the "greatest crowd Sonoma had ever seen," by the Sonoma Index-Tribune.

Condition

The sculpture was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution in 1994. It was noted as needing conservation treatment at that time.

title: Henk Zanoli

text:
Hendrikus Antonius "Henk" Zanoli (21 April 1923 – 9 December 2015) was a Dutch lawyer who was recognized by Israel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations in 1950, with his name being listed at Yad Vashem in the city of Jerusalem. During World War II, he was a member of the Dutch resistance, which was formed to oppose the German occupation of the Netherlands, and was personally involved in smuggling many Jews to protect them amidst the Holocaust. In 2014, Zanoli returned his Righteous Among the Nations medal to the Israeli embassy in The Hague and subsequently wrote to the Israeli ambassador to protest the country's ongoing military actions in Operation Protective Edge: on 20 July of that year, Zanoli's grandniece's Palestinian husband lost six members of his family after an Israeli airstrike destroyed their house in the Gaza Strip.

World War II
Zanoli was born in Laren in 1923. During the war, the Zanoli family were involved in the resistance. In 1943, when Zanoli's father had already been arrested by the German occupiers, Zanoli himself smuggled the young Jewish boy Elhanan Pinto from Amsterdam to Eemnes. With his mother Jans, Zanoli kept Pinto in hiding for the rest of the war. While the rest of Pinto's family were killed in the Holocaust, he survived to reach age 72 before dying in Jerusalem in 2007. The resistance work cost Zanoli's father and brother-in-law their lives, while his Jewish sister-in-law was deported and never returned.

2014 Gaza War
In 2011, Israel recognized Zanoli's mother as one of the Righteous Among the Nations, presenting her with an honourary medal. However, Zanoli, who himself was recognized as Righteous in 1950, returned this medal to Israel during the 2014 Gaza War in order to protest after an Israeli airstrike killed six of his grandniece's in-laws, who were Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

Death
Zanoli died in The Hague, Netherlands, on 9 December 2015, at the age of 92.

title: Bridgeport Historic District

text:
The Bridgeport Historic District is a historic district in Bridgeport, Alabama.  Founded in the 1810s as a farming community, Bridgeport became a major transportation hub with the coming of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and Southern Railway in the 1850s, in addition to its Tennessee River port.  Due to the importance of its rail bridge, the town changed hands several times during the course of the Civil War.  Industry began to move into the area in the late 1880s and 1890s, and commercial development of the downtown area soon followed.  The district retains several one- and two-story commercial buildings, most constructed out of brick in simple styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Many of the elite built their homes on Battery Hill, overlooking the river.  The district contains several Victorian and Queen Anne houses, as well as Bungalows and Vernacular styles.  The Mission Revival Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad depot, three railroad bridges, and three Civil War fortifications are also contained in the district.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

title: Law clerk (parliamentary)

text:
A law clerk, sometimes called parliamentary counsel, is an officer in some parliamentary systems.  The law clerk is charged with providing advice on legal issues and parliamentary procedure to the Speaker and members of the chamber.  The position is neutral and non-partisan.

In some systems, the law clerk is a separate officer responsible to the clerk of the chamber; in other systems, the duty to provide legal advice is part of the duties of the clerk of the chamber.
Where the advisory functions of the Parliament are exercised by a Secretary-General, he is always the responsible for the legal advice of the President of the Chamber.

Usage

Canada

Parliament of Canada

House of Commons
The Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel is part of the House Administration.

Senate of Canada
The Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel of the Senate is the chief legal advisor to the Senate of Canada and head of the Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel.

Saskatchewan
The Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel is a branch of the Parliamentary Counsel and Precinct, and provides confidential legal services to Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

The position was formerly known as the Legislative Council and Law Clerk, but was changed to Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel in 2005.

United Kingdom
The Clerk of the Parliaments is the corporate officer for the House of Lords; the Clerk of the House of Commons is the corporate officer for that House. Their functions (as corporate officers) include: acquiring, holding, managing and disposing of land and other property on behalf of the House; entering into contracts for any purpose of the House; and doing any other thing which he can do by virtue of his office as Clerk.

Theory
In Jeremy Bentham's opinion, no act of the assembly could be forged, because "a counterfaction of this kind could not well have had for its author any other person than either the ministerial officer (the clerk) who has the penning of the journals, or the presiding officer (the Speaker), under whose authority and command the other acts". From this seminal functions of the chief of parliamentary staff, other key functions have been added underpinning the parliamentary autonomy in administrations.

title: Cheshire Bridge Road

text:
Cheshire Bridge Road is a mainly north–south thoroughfare of Atlanta, Georgia, USA traversing the Morningside-Lenox Park and Lindridge-Martin Manor neighborhoods from Piedmont Avenue to Buford Highway just north of Interstate 85.

While the corridor was originally settled during the 1800s, it was not until the 1950s and 1960s that it rapidly developed as a suburban commercial center dominated by strip malls. Following the massive white flight from Intown Atlanta during the 1970s due to increased desegregation, the corridor became well known for various types of adult entertainment such as sex shops, strip clubs, gay circuit parties, and gay nightclubs that had moved into its abandoned retail spaces. The area has been noted as important in the LGBT history of Georgia.

Since the 2000s, urban redevelopment projects and gentrification have threatened the legacy of the area. In 2005, the Atlanta City Council banned new adult businesses from opening on Cheshire Bridge Road but existing ones were allowed to stay. However, new high-density residential developments have become common in recent years and some existing businesses and nightclubs have closed or relocated.

History

Origins
White settlers originally settled the corridor in the 1820s. Two of these early settlers were Napoleon and Jerome Cheshire, two brothers who owned farms on opposite sides of South Fork of Peachtree Creek, and connected their farms by a bridge known as the Cheshire Bridge, giving the road its name.

The area remained agricultural until the early 20th century. At that time suburban development encroached from Atlanta to the south, in today's Morningside neighborhood. By the 1960s the entire area was suburban.

Possible "cleanup" of Cheshire Bridge
In 2005, the city banned new adult businesses on Cheshire Bridge, but existing ones were allowed to stay.

In 2013, councilman Alex Wan introduced legislation, supported by neighborhood associations and NPU F, to remove existing adult businesses from Cheshire Bridge by 2018, but this was not passed, opposed by a mix of gays, strippers and Atlanta's real estate interests – including Scott Selig. Some in the gay community wondered if Cheshire Bridge were "sanitized", "where would people go for sexual expression"? Matthew Cardinale, the editor and publisher of Atlanta Progressive News, and a resident of the Road, decried "the ongoing project of gentrification, homogenization, sterilization and capitalization of a historic neighborhood", Atlanta's "red-light district".

By 2020, several prominent adult entertainment businesses and gay nightclubs were forced to close or relocate to make the area more palatable for developers and investors seeking to make it more residential and family friendly.  However, area business owners and Atlanta residents have organized to preserve the legacy of Cheshire Bridge Road and combat more unwanted gentrification.

Businesses
Well known current and former businesses along Cheshire Bridge Road include:
Tokyo Valentino Erotique (formerly Inserection) - a sex shop
 Allure, Onyx, Bliss, and Doll House - straight strip clubs
The Chamber - a BDSM and burlesque centric straight nightclub
 Cheshire Motor Inn - a motel famous for gay cruising
 The Colonnade restaurant - a popular restaurant among "gays and grays"
Roxx Taven - a popular restaurant among gays
Bliss Atlanta - a gay strip club
 B.J. Roosters, Xion, The Heretic and The Jungle - gay nightclubs

title: Clara Bewick Colby

text:
Clara Dorothy Bewick Colby (1 August 1846 – 7 September 1916) was a British-American lecturer, newspaper publisher and correspondent, women's rights activist, and suffragist leader. Born in England, she immigrated to the US, where she attended university and married the former American Civil War general, later Assistant United States Attorney General, Leonard Wright Colby. In 1883, she founded The Woman's Tribune in Beatrice, Nebraska, moving it three years later to Washington, D.C.; it became the country's leading women's suffrage publication. She was an advocate of peace and took part in the great peace conference at San Francisco during the exposition. She also spoke on behalf of the soldiers of the Spanish War. During the Spanish–American War (1898), she was officially appointed as war correspondent, the first woman to be so recognized.

In addition to being a suffragist and newspaper publisher, Colby was a lecturer, an interpreter of Walt Whitman, and a writer. She was a delegate to the International Congress of Women (London, England, 1899); delegated by the governor to represent Oregon in the First International Moral Education Congress (London, 1908); and a delegate to the First International Peace Congress (London, 1911). She served as vice-president of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association, from its formation, 1881–1883; and president, 1883–1909. She was corresponding secretary of the Federal Suffrage Association of the United States. Colby wrote magazine articles for Arena, Harper's Bazaar, Overland, Englishwoman, and others. She was a newspaper correspondent for the International Peace Union, Woman's National Press Association, Oregon Woman's Press Association, Higher Thought Center (London), Woman's Freedom League, National Political Reform League, and International Woman's Franchise Club (London). She often appeared before state legislatures and congressional committees on behalf of woman suffrage; she also aided woman suffrage in England.

Family, education and intellectual development

Colby was born in Gloucester, England in 1846, the daughter of Thomas and Clara Willingham (Chilton) Bewick. The family settled near Windsor, Wisconsin when Colby was eight. Being part of a large family, she had few opportunities for attending the district school, but her father encouraged and assisted his children to study in the winter evenings, and in this way she prepared herself to teach in country schools. Colby's grandfather, Thomas Bewick, was a notable naturalist and engraver.

At the age of nineteen, Colby went to Madison, Wisconsin to live with her grandparents, Stephen Chilton and Clara Medhurst Willingham Chilton. Here she entered the University of Wisconsin–Madison, then in its infancy, which was struggling with co-education. She exerted a marked influence in securing the admission of women to the university and the adoption of the principles of co-education in Wisconsin. She was graduated in 1869 as the valedictorian and Phi Beta Kappa in the first class of women graduated from the school. At once, she became a teacher of history and Latin in the institution, while pursuing graduate studies. She married Leonard Wright Colby, a graduate of the same university, in June 1871, and moved to Beatrice the following year, where he was elected to the Nebraska State Senate. Amidst the hardships of pioneer life in a new place, the young wife found her family cares all-absorbing, but her taste for study, her love of literature and her natural desire to improve the conditions about her, led her to establish Beatrice's free public library in 1873.

Activist
Colby edited a department in the Beatrice Express called "Woman's Work," and in 1883, she founded, published, and edited The Woman's Tribune. For several years, she was deeply interested in the movement for woman's enfranchisement, devoting her journal to the advocacy of this reform. The Woman's Tribune took the prize at the Paris Exposition in 1900 for its neatness and workman-like appearance, and it filled an important place in the history of the suffragist cause, being for a time the recognized organ of the National Woman Suffrage Association. A contemporary and friend of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, Colby lectured extensively not only to general audiences, but before legislative and congressional committees. In 1888, at the time of the great International Council of Women in Washington, D.C. Colby published the Tribune daily during the week of the council, and continued it through the Woman's Suffrage Convention the following week. It is probably the first instance of a daily woman's paper being published by a woman. During the period of 1885–1898, she served as president of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1895, she served as the chair of the Federal Suffrage Committee. She spoke in behalf of the soldiers of the Spanish–American War (1898); during the Spanish–American War, she was officially appointed as war correspondent, the first woman to be so recognized. She was also an advocate of peace at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, California in 1915.

Lecturer and author

With an interest in esoteric spirituality, Colby was a contributor to Stanton's The Woman's Bible (1895). Colby lectured extensively in almost every state in the U.S. as well as in England, Ireland and Scotland, and also gave lectures at Budapest and other places in Europe. She took part in most of the great suffrage campaigns which were carried on in the different states in the effort to secure the franchise by vote of the electors. She made her home in Oregon for a time, taking part in several of the suffrage campaigns of that state. In 1899, she attended the Great International Council of Women held in London. While there Colby made the acquaintance of many distinguished suffrage workers. She served as a delegate to the International Moral Education Congress (London, 1908) and, in the same year, to the International Women Suffrage Alliance (Amsterdam). From the time of the discontinuance of the Tribune in 1909 until 1912, considerable time was spent in England in helping the English suffragists in their struggle for justice and in making acquaintance with many prominent English reformers. Of her experiences in England she published, from time to time, her accounts in the Washington Herald. Among other writings she prepared a book entitled "The History of London" (unpublished), which was preserved by her sister, Dr. Mary B. White of Palo Alto, California. From 1911 through 1913, she served as a delegate to the International Races Congress (London, 1911); International Woman Suffrage Convention (Budapest, 1913); and the International Peace Conference (The Hague, 1913). During the winters of 1913–15, Colby lectured in Washington on topics such as:
 "Delia Blanchflower," Mary Augusta Ward's new woman suffrage novel
 "Austria-Hungary, Its History and Conditions"
 "Florence Nightingale"
 "Women in the Building of America"
 "Woman's Work in English Fiction"
 "Bohemia, and the Burning of John Hus"
 "Euripides, and his Types of Greek Women"
 "The Lion with Seven Darts in His Paw."
 "Hroswitha Who Wrote Dramas a Thousand Years Ago; and Women of the Monasteries"
 "Fanny Burney and Dr. Johnson"
 "Rudolph Eucken, and the New Religious Idealism"

Personal life

Clara married Leonard in 1872 and they removed to Beatrice, Nebraska. Although they never had children of their own, they adopted a boy, Clarence (born ca. 1882), in 1885 from an Orphan Train. In 1891, Leonard returned home from the Battle of Wounded Knee with a Sioux baby, Zintkala Nuni (Lost Bird) and adopted her; Clara was away at this time, lecturing on suffrage issues. Leonard left with Lost Bird's nursemaid, and the Colbys divorced in 1906. Lost Bird remained under Clara's care but was sent away to Indian Boarding Schools until age 17. A lifelong Congregationalist, Colby nonetheless had an interest in the New Thought spiritual movement; she served as an honorary leadership role in the International New Thought Alliance. Her health faded in her final years, and Colby died at her sister's home in Palo Alto in 1916 of pneumonia and myocarditis. Her ashes were buried in her childhood hometown of Windsor.

title: Jetboil

text:
Jetboil is an American manufacturer of lightweight gas-fueled portable stoves used primarily for backpacking.

The company was formed in 2001 by Dwight Aspinwall and Perry Dowst in a former woolen mill in Guild, New Hampshire, debuting its products at the 2003 Outdoor Retailers trade show. In 2006 the company moved its headquarters to Manchester, New Hampshire and in 2012 was purchased by Racine, Wisconsin-based Johnson Outdoors.

Stove design
Stoves feature a neoprene-insulated pot (billycan), corrugated metal heat exchanger (burner) and burner adjustment valve — with ignition via either an outside source or integral push-button electric igniter, depending on the model.

The ring of corrugated metal forming the burner also shields it from wind and directs heat to the base of the pot. The ring and burner, along with a coiled heat exchanger at the bottom of the stove all work to contain heat, enabling an average boiling time of two minutes and fifteen seconds.

The company markets its fuel, a mixture of propane and isobutane, in canisters that thread to the bottom of the burner. Several stove models feature a stabilizing tripod (for the base of the fuel canister) as well as a plastic cup, which covers the heat exchanger during storage.

Models

Jetboil has marketed a range of stoves that vary in construction materials and features, with more expensive models offering lighter weight and decreased cooking times:

title: Vild-Svinet

text:
Vild-Svinet (Danish for The Wild Boar) is a steel roller coaster at BonBon-Land in southern Zealand, Denmark, approximately  from Copenhagen. Vild-Svinet is the prototype for the Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster model. At 97 degrees, the coaster is the steepest roller coaster in Denmark.

History and design
Opening on 16 May 2003, Vild-Svinet was the first ever Euro-Fighter model coaster to be built. When it opened, Vild-Svinet was the steepest roller coaster in the world (other Euro-Fighters would later tie its record) until its record was surpassed by Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach. Vild-Svinet was also the first roller coaster in the world to have an initial drop steeper than 90 degrees. The coaster has one inversion, a single vertical loop. There are also overbanked turns in the coaster's course. As with other Euro-Fighters, guests ride the coaster in single-car trains. Riders on Vild-Svinet are arranged in two rows of four. Vild-Svinet has generally been the most popular coaster at BonBon-Land since its opening.

Awards and reception

BonBon-Land and Gerstlauer were awarded the "FKF-Award 2003" by Freundeskreis Kirmes und Freizeitparks e.V. (Friends of Fairground and Amusement Association) for the construction of Vild-Svinet. The coaster was also ranked as the 3rd most innovative coaster of 2003 by COASTER-net. Frommer's included the coaster in their book, Frommer's 500 Adrenaline Adventures. Each award cited the coaster's steeper than vertical drop as being one of the primary justifications for Vild-Svinet's inclusion. Lonely Planet describes the coaster as "bonkers-looking" and notes that it is the most extreme amusement ride at BonBon-Land.

title: ARQ-E

text:
ARQ-E is a radio transmission method used to send data over short wave radio.  ARQ-E is a full duplex synchronous data communications system that requests repeats if data is not received correctly.  It uses an alphabet that can detect errors. Another name for this is ARQ-1000 duplex or ARQ-1000D.

Alphabet
The alphabet used in the ARQ-E protocol is an extension of the CCITT Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 more commonly known as Baudot.  This alphabet has five bits, and therefore has 25 or 32 different possible symbols.  The ARQ-M alphabet being synchronous always has to send data and does not have gaps between characters. It does not include start and stop bits that would be used in asynchronous transmissions.  In asynchronous transmissions a steady stop signal indicates that there is nothing to send.

The ARQ-E characters are extended with an identification bit or signal element at the start to indicate whether it is a normal character or a function signal.  This would add another possible 32 combinations to the code.  But of the 32 only three are used.

An extra symbol labelled α shows a start polarity, and another symbol labelled β indicates a steady stop polarity.  So a stream of β characters will be sent if there is nothing else to send.  The α and β symbols are called idle signals. The third symbol used is the RQ signal used to request a retransmit.

A seventh bit is added to the character to indicate parity.  Odd parity is used so that the number of stop polarity elements (1) is always odd.  The parity bit is checked by the receiver to tell if an error has occurred in the transmission of the character.  The return channel will include the RQ signal if an error is detected.

ltrs is the symbol to activate the letters shift.

figs is the symbol to activate figures shift.

Space is equivalent to the space bar

cr is carriage return

lf is line feed

cells with blank entries are undefined for international communications, but may have meaning within one country.

Marking
After the five bit characters are extended to seven bit, the polarity may be inverted to form a marking pattern, Either every fourth or every eighth character has its 0s and 1s (space and mark elements) transposed. There is also a variation with a cycle length of five characters, to be used when encrypters are in-line.

Transmission
The seven bits resulting are converted from parallel to serial, sending the left-most element first, and then modulated onto a radio carrier using frequency-shift keying. Standard baud rates are 48, 64, 72, 86, 96, 144, and 192 baud.

Repeat request
When an error is detected in a character received, then an RQ symbol is sent, along with a repetition of the last characters in the cycle.  When an RQ is received, then an RQ is sent along with repeated characters starting from the one flagged as having a problem. The repeated characters would be three in the four character cycle, and seven in the eight character cycle.  For the five character cycle, three characters are repeated after two RQ characters. For encrypted characters streams, it is very important to get the position in the sequence precisely correct, and it cannot afford to make a mistake with repeated data.

Variants
Different variants of ARQ-E include ARQ-E3 which uses a different alphabet, ITA3 as in ARQ-M.  ARQ-E3 can also be called CCIR 519. ITU standard F.519 introduces this as a variant of ARQ-M, but with one channel.  Standard bit rates are 48, 72 and 96 baud.

ARQ-N is similar to ARQ-E but there is no marking pattern.

Monitoring
Software is available for professionals and hobbyists to receive and decode utility transmissions that use ARQ-E. Software includes go2MONIOR which can handle the variants and multipsk, the Rohde & Schwarz GX401DC, the Hoka Code2-32P, and Code200-32, Wavecom, the  WiNRADiO Universal FSK Decoder,. Early software included Radioraft.
