title: Eden Musée

text:
The Eden Musée was an amusement center in New York City that featured a large waxworks collection, musical concerts and a changing selection of specialty entertainment, such as magic lantern shows and marionettes.  It was opened on March 28, 1884.  It featured a collection of paintings and became an early exhibitor of motion pictures.  Located on 55 West 23rd Street in Manhattan in an imposing stone building.  The building featured several halls with different themes.  It was particularly known for its Chamber of Horrors, which was kept in the museum basement

Film Exhibition
On December 18, 1896, the Lumiere cinematographe films were presented for two months in the Winter Garden, which had a 2000-seat capacity.

It became the first venue in the United States to make motion pictures a standard part of programming until it closed.

In the summer of 1897, film pioneer Edwin S. Porter, an electrician by training, assisted in the building of a custom film projector, to replace one destroyed by fire. In 1887 he returned with a job programming short films for exhibition, after the Eden Musee became Thomas Edison's first motion picture licensee. On February 1, 1898 the Eden Musee released its first self-produced film, The Passion Play of Oberammergau. This was billed as film actually shot in Oberammergau, Germany, when it was actually shot on the roof of the original Grand Central Palace in New York City, a fact that was quickly uncovered by the press. The presentation included 19 minutes of film interspersed with lantern slides.

After the Eden Musee went bankrupt and closed in 1915, the name and select wax figure groupings, including those from the Chamber of Horrors, were purchased at auction and exhibited in Coney Island. The Coney Island Eden Musee was destroyed by fire in 1928.

In popular culture
The opening of Act 1 of the Broadway musical Broadway to Tokio (1900) is set inside the Eden Musée.

title: Christ Church Historic Site

text:
The Christ Church National Historic Site in Hope, British Columbia, was consecrated on 8 November 1861 by Bishop George Hills, the colony's first bishop, making it the oldest church on the mainland of British Columbia, and the oldest church in the province still on its original foundation.

Aside from this, it was made a national historic site because "it is representative of the response of the British church and state to the social and political conditions created by the Fraser River and Cariboo gold rushes in colonial British Columbia," and "it is a fine example of Anglican parish church architecture in the Ecclesiological Gothic Revival style".

The church was commissioned by Reverend Alexander David Pringle, a Scottish missionary for the Anglican Communion, and it was run chiefly by missionaries for the first years of its existence.
The building's architect was Captain John Marshall Grant of the Royal Engineers, Columbia Detachment, and it was built by the Royal Engineers that were in Hope laying out the town at the time.

title: Lakewood Heights, Dallas

text:
Lakewood Heights is a residential neighborhood in Dallas, Texas (USA), bounded by Abrams Road to the east, Monticello Avenue to the north (not McCommas, as incorrectly shown on Google Maps), Skillman Street to the west, and Richmond Avenue to the south. It located in East Dallas. Lakewood Heights is approximately one-half mile (0.8 km) wide (east-west) and three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) long (north-south). It covers approximately 240 acres or slightly less than 0.375 square miles (1000m²). It is adjacent to several East Dallas neighborhoods, including Lakewood, Lower Greenville, and Wilshire Heights.

History
The area now comprising Lakewood Heights is part of three land grants made in the 1850s by the State of Texas to, respectively, Amon McCommas (Abstract 911); John McCommas, the son of Amon and Mary Brumfield McCommas (Abstract 943); and Allen Beard (Abstract 66). Amon McCommas, his wife Mary Brumfield McCommas, and their nine children settled on this land in 1844. McCommas Boulevard, just north of Lakewood Heights, is named for the McCommas family. Beard's Branch, a creek draining into White Rock Lake east of Lakewood Heights, may have been named for Allen Beard.

The first platted portion of current-day Lakewood Heights, comprising one and one-half blocks then known as "Llano Place," ran from the north side of Llano Street to the north side of Vickery (then known as "Price") between Norris and Clements. This area was platted in 1913. The next portion, abutting Llano Place on the south and running from the south side of Llano Street to Richmond Avenue between present-day Skillman (then named "Railman") and present-day Abrams (then, "Old Greenville Road") was platted in 1914 and was annexed to the City of Dallas in 1923. Development was substantially completed by 1940, although a few streets date from 1949-50. Building lot sizes typically are 50 to 60 feet wide and between 140 and 220 feet deep. As a neighborhood, Lakewood Heights predates neighboring Lakewood, as shown by aerial photographs of the area taken in 1923. A 1919 street map shows that the first streets platted were those between Llano Avenue on the north and Richmond on the south.

Demographics
Lakewood Heights comprises portions of Dallas County census tracts 2.01 and 11.02  in the 2020 U.S. federal census. According to D Magazine (citing Nielsen SiteReports and samplings based on most recent U.S. census estimates), in 2021, the approximate population of Lakewood Heights was 2,500 people; the neighborhood contained approximately 1,125 households; the average household size was 2.21 persons; 65.3% of homes were owner-occupied; and the median value of owner-occupied homes was $408,067.

Education
Lakewood Heights is in the Dallas Independent School District attendance zones for: Geneva Heights Elementary School (most), Mockingbird Elementary School (some), J.L. Long Middle School (all), and Woodrow Wilson High School (all).

Government
It is part of Dallas City Council District 14.

Parks and recreation

Tietze Park, a 9-acre public park owned and operated by the city of Dallas, is located on the western edge of Lakewood Heights on Skillman Avenue between Llano and Vanderbilt Streets. The park was acquired in 1924 by the City of Dallas. It is named after W.R. Tietze, who was Dallas' Superintendent of Parks from 1896-1933. The park contains a sandstone picnic pavilion dating from 1934, a community swimming pool, lighted baseball field, tennis court, basketball court, serpentine walking/jogging paths, other recreation and picnic areas, and more than 75 red oak, live oak, and cedar trees, and a few “kneeling” bois d'arc trees, which are said to predate the park by 50 years or more.
The Friends of Tietze Park Foundation is a registered nonprofit organization whose mission is the improvement, preservation and continued beautification of Tietze Park. In 2009, Preservation Dallas recognized the Friends of Tietze Park Foundation with a preservation achievement medal for the Best Rehabilitation of a Historic Landscape or Park.

Richard Sheffield, a resident, in an article in D Magazine, wrote that the park "has been a neighborhood staple for years and has provided countless hours of entertainment to local residents."

Neighborhood Association
The Lakewood Heights Neighborhood Association, a voluntary association of neighborhood residents, sponsors several events through the year, including a Halloween pumpkin-decorating party, an Easter Egg Hunt, a free-admission day at the neighborhood swimming pool, and a concert and cookout on the national Neighborhood Night Out.

title: Hughie Dickson

text:
Hubert Dickson (14 July 1895 – 1965), generally known as Hugh or Hughie Dickson, was an English footballer who scored 37 goals from 402 appearances in the Football League playing for Darlington. He also played non-league football for Gainsborough Trinity, Worksop Town and Newburn. His primary position was right half, but he also played at inside forward and, towards the end of his career, at right back.

Life and career
Dickson was born in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, in 1895. He played for Gainsborough Trinity and for Worksop Town before joining Darlington when the club re-formed after the First World War. By January 1920, Dickson was part of a Darlington half-back line – the others being George Malcolm and Percy Sutcliffe – who, according to the Daily Express ahead of their FA Cup tie with Second Division Birmingham, had acquired "a reputation for upsetting opponents' designs". In the event, they could not upset Birmingham's designs: Tommy Winship missed a penalty, and Darlington lost 4–0. Dickson and right-back Arthur Golightly were their most "conspicuous" players, though both "perceptibly tired under pressure" towards the end of the game. In February, he was one of two Darlington players selected for the North Eastern League representative team to face the Central League. He helped Darlington win the North Eastern League title in 1920–21, after which the club was elected to the Football League's newly formed Third Division Northern Section.

Dickson played in Darlington's first Football League match, at home to Halifax Town on 27 August 1921. He scored the second goal in a 2–0 win, an 84th-minute penalty kick awarded for handball. According to the Derby Daily Telegraph, although "non too big, he has a terrier-like way of tackling, and the Halifax left wing found him a difficult man to get by".

From time to time during the 1922–23 season, he played at inside forward with Bert Burridge at right half, and after goals in each of his first two matches of the 1923–24 season, the Derby Daily Telegraph wrote that "he has been instrumental in putting a lot of 'pep' into the attack", and that although "neither big nor heavy, ... he is the type of player who takes a lot of shifting off the ball. He can shoot, too." By midway through the season, his form was such that "substantial offers" had reportedly been made by First Division clubs for his services, but Darlington did not sell.

In September 1924, a crowd of 5,000 saw Scottish club Raith Rovers, with former Darlington player Peter Bell in their team, visit Feethams for Dickson's benefit match. That season, Darlington won the Northern Section title, thus gaining promotion to the Second Division. They struggled initially at the higher level; but by the turn of the year, Dickson and his fellow half-backs, Billy Robinson in the centre and Burridge on the left, were described as "sound", and having "splendidly served" their teammates.

For 1926–27, Darlington replaced Burridge with Jimmy McKinnell from Blackburn Rovers, and manager Jack English suggested the side would be "largely experimental", a blend of young players and more experienced men. At Fulham early in the season, Dickson reportedly found home forward Frank Penn "so clever that [he] seemed to give him up as a job too bad to be undertaken", but later that month, he was the pick of Darlington's side and scored twice in a 4–2 defeat of Reading. He was injured in the fourth-round defeat to First Division Cardiff City in that season's FA Cup, initially moving out to the wing before having to leave the field entirely for half an hour. Darlington were relegated back to the Northern Section on the final day of the season.

Dickson regularly took the club's penalties, and his follow-up from a saved penalty gave Darlington a 2–1 win against Scarborough in a 1928–29 FA Cup second-round replay. A couple of weeks later, Darlington took a two-goal lead at home to Bradford City, but the league leaders scored twice after Dickson had to leave the field because of an injury that was to keep him out for several weeks, so he missed the 6–2 third-round Cup loss to Bury. He had not long returned to the side when he suffered a head wound while working at Whessoe Foundry. He was taken to hospital where the wound was stitched, and missed only one match while recovering.

He received a second benefit in April 1930, the proceeds of a match against Middlesbrough's first team, by which time he had made approaching 500 appearances for Darlington in all competitions. In the later part of his career, Dickson was used in the right-back position, partnering Herbert Brown. In March 1932, "the club's most popular and consistent player", according to the Yorkshire Post, announced his retirement at the end of the season after 13 years and nearly 600 games. The 3–2 home defeat to Doncaster Rovers on 30 April should have been his last game before entering a career in business, but he was lured out of retirement for a few appearances during the 1933–34 season. On what was his final appearance for the club, on 10 February 1934, he scored Darlington's consolation in a 6–1 defeat at Wrexham. He had played 433 matches in Football League and FA Cup.

title: Robert Howard Wright

text:
Robert Howard Wright (1865 – 1933) was a business owner and politician in Quebec. He served as mayor of Aylmer from 1907 to 1911.

The son of Charles Wright and Lucy Stewart, he purchased the former residence of John Egan in 1909, living there until his death with his wife, Esther J. Lusk, and their daughter Annie and two sons R. Howard and Charles J. He established two companies, a dairy and a large greenhouse flower business, which were both very successful. The greenhouses which covered four acres, were heated with coal which was transported to the site by a private railway line. Wright also raised Holstein cattle and owned two flower shops in Ottawa. He served on the Aylmer municipal council from 1899 to 1900 and was elected to council again in 1914 and 1917. Wright became gravely ill in 1933. In the same year, a severe hail storm destroyed his greenhouses; he died later that year.

His former estate was purchased by the Congregation du St-Redempteur, who built a large stone seminary on the site.

title: Wildfire Communications

text:
Wildfire Communications, Inc. was an American company founded in 1992 that developed and sold software and equipment to enhance telephone communications. It created a speech-based electronic secretary in October 1994, pioneering the field of intelligent software assistance accessed completely through the use of natural language. Wildfire is referred to as an early version of Siri, having developed the patent for a "network based knowledgeable assistant" fundamental to voice based telephony.

Founding
Wildfire Communications was founded in 1992 by inventor Bill Warner, vice president of marketing Nick d'Arbeloff, director of engineering Rich Miner, and chief designer Tony Lovell. The company raised two rounds of venture capital funding in 1992 and 1993 to progress from ideas to development to product announcement. In October 1994 the company released its first product, a virtual assistant named "Wildfire."

The Wildfire Assistant

Wildfire had an anthropomorphic voice user interface to let users speak commands over a telephone connection to route calls, handle messages, and perform related tasks. The natural voice prompts encouraged users to think of Wildfire as a real person, a mindset reflected by writers and users commonly speaking of Wildfire as "she." This personification helped foster a quicker understanding of the role Wildfire performed: that of an executive assistant tasked with assisting mobile workers. Though users could also use touchtones to control Wildfire, the system's recorded voice prompts elicited them to speak their commands, reinforcing the interactive model of co-workers on a business call. In early 1996, conference calling and a rudimentary integration with voicemail systems was added to bolster Wildfire's value among corporate users.

In April 2000, Orange purchased Wildfire Communications for $142M.

Orange continued to offer Wildfire to its wireless subscribers until 2005, when it decided to terminate the product due to insufficiently broad use.  Orange customers passionate about Wildfire, particularly those with disabilities who found the speech interface empowering, complained with sufficient force to cause a month's delay in shut-off, but Orange did indeed kill the service in July, 2005.

Technological legacy
Wildfire directly influenced several widely used voice user interface-based systems through the work of Blade Kotelly, who moved from a position in usability testing at Wildfire Communications to become Creative Director of Interface Design for SpeechWorks, where he designed richly anthropomorphic systems for United Airlines, E-Trade and other clients.  Kotelly wrote of the importance in his design philosophy of creating seemingly human personas for his applications, and said that Wildfire was the best persona he'd seen in a product.

Wildfire has also been cited as "a really early version of Siri mostly geared for business execs" and similarities have also been drawn between Wildfire's relaxed conversational style and that of the Apple assistant.

title: Scorilo

text:
Scorilo (died  70) was a Dacian king who may have been the father of Decebalus. Evidence for his life and reign is fragmentary.

Sources
The Roman historian Jordanes lists a series of Dacian kings before Decebalus, placing a ruler called "Coryllus" between Comosicus and the independently attested Duras, who preceded Decebalus as king. Coryllus is supposed to have presided over a long peaceful 40-year rule.

The name Coryllus is not mentioned by any other historian, and it has been argued that it "is a misspelling of Scorilo, a relatively common Dacian name". On this basis, Coryllus has been equated with the Scorilo named on an ancient Dacian pot bearing the words “Decebalus per Scorilo”. Though far from certain, this has also been translated as "Decebalus son of Scorilo". If so, this might mean that Decebalus was the son of Scorilo, with Duras possibly being either an older son or a brother of Scorilo. A Dacian king (dux Dacorum) called Scorilo is also mentioned by Frontinus, who says he was in power during a period of turmoil in Rome.

From this evidence and references to Dacian kings elsewhere, it is suggested that Scorilo probably ruled from the 30s or 40s AD through to 69-70.

Reign

The Dacians regularly raided into Roman territory in Moesia. The emperors Tiberius and Caligula solved this problem by paying protection money to the Dacians in the form of annual subsidies. This policy appears to have coincided with the reign of Scorilo. Scorilo's brother was apparently held captive for a period in Rome, but was released in exchange for a promise that the Dacians would not intervene in Rome's volatile power-politics.

During the reign of Nero, troops were withdrawn from the Dacian border, leaving the empire vulnerable. When Nero was overthrown in 69, the empire was plunged into turmoil in the Year of Four Emperors. The Dacians appear to have tried to take advantage of the situation to launch an invasion of Moesia in alliance with the Sarmatian Roxolani. The invasion was ill-timed. Licinius Mucianus, a supporter of Vespasian, was advancing with an army through Moesia towards Rome to overthrow Vitellius. The Dacians unexpectedly encountered his forces and were pushed back, suffering a major defeat.

Scorilo appears to have died around this time, perhaps during the campaign.

title: Purple Cane, Nebraska

Purple Cane is an unincorporated community in Dodge County, Nebraska, United States.

Geography
Purple Cane is located at 41°31'30.0"N 96°53'28.1"W (41.5250052, -96.8911424) at an elevation of . It is located five miles west and four miles north of North Bend on the bluff north of the Platte River near the intersection of County Road P, and County Road 2 in Dodge County. Between 1872 and 1902, Purple Cane appeared on most Nebraska maps.  All that remains of the community today is a cemetery and two historic markers.

History
The site of Purple Cane was settled in 1858 by Irish immigrant Edward Johnson. Johnson constructed a dugout on the south bank of Maple Creek and resided there during the winter of 1858–59.  He was soon joined by his brother Michael Johnson and brother-in-law David Scott. Between 1861 and 1867, five additional households were established in the area. The rural community was officially named in 1872 when Samuel R. Mason applied for a post office permit for the area.  Mason chose to name the community after the Purple Cane raspberries that grew in his garden. In the 1870s most of the land in the area was claimed.

School
In 1867, School District #7 was established next to the Old Fur Traders Trail. A school house was erected with lumber brought from Fremont, Nebraska. Thomas Spence, was the first teacher. In 1875 the school was relocated to the nearby Hughes farm, and enlarged in 1894. In 1904, the school was moved to land owned by George Thrush and a new school building was erected.  In 1932, the school had an enrollment of 9 students.

Post Office
Samuel R. Mason applied for a post office for the community in 1872.  The request was granted on April 15, 1872. The post office was a box with a hinged lid that hung on the wall of the S. R. Mason Home. Mail was delivered from nearby North Bend to Purple Cane twice weekly.  The post office was eventually moved to the home of Jane Avery who acted as post master from 1886 to 1892 when the post office was closed.  A monument marking the site of the original Purple Cane post office was erected in 1928.

Churches
The Purple Cane Methodist Episcopal Church was established in 1869. Andrew Quigley donated land for the organization, and a church building was erected and dedicated in 1886. The church was destroyed by fire in 1894, and rebuilt the same year. In 1925 a large gymnasium was added to the property for community use. By 1920, the church reported a membership of 160 people. Declining membership caused the church to close in 1964. The church and its contents were auctioned off on October 12, 1980. The location of the church is marked by a stone marker.

The Plymouth Presbyterian church was organized by Edward Johnson, John Ruff, and J. G. McVicker in September 1890 and built on the Edward Johnson property. It was an active church until 1912.

Cemetery
The first burial at Purple Cane cemetery was of Mrs. John McCarthy in 1873. The Purple Cane Cemetery Association was organized in 1881 and property for the cemetery was purchased just south of the site for the Purple Cane Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1916, Alexander Legge, then president of the International Harvester Corporation, gifted $1,000 to the Purple Cane Cemetery Association to assist with the establishment of a perpetual care fund for the cemetery. Residents raised matching funds, and the cemetery was improved with sidewalks and a fence.

Notable person
Alexander Legge (1866-1933), prominent American business executive.

Plot
In the small town of Brescello, skirmishes are continuing between the parish priest Don Camillo and the Communist mayor Peppone Bottazzi. After staging a theft of Don Camillo's prized chickens in retribution for a political prank pulled by the priest, Peppone decides to enter the big time of politics by standing for national senator. Peppone has been assisted by a winsome young lady comrade sent from the big city to assist him, but the mayor's wife – suspecting more – complains to Don Camillo, who endeavours to remedy the threatened domestic breakdown.

title: Mai-Mai Sze

text:
Yuen Tsung Sze (December 2, 1909 – July 16, 1992), known professionally as Mai-mai Sze, was a Chinese-American painter and writer. The Bollingen Foundation first published her translation of the Jieziyuan Huazhuan or The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting with her commentary in 1956.

Early life and education
Sze was born Yuen Tsung Sze in Tianjin on December 2, 1909. Mai-mai is a nickname meaning "little sister,"  and this was the name under which she published all of her books. In 1915, she moved to London with her father Alfred Sao-ke Sze, then the Chinese ambassador to the Court of St. James's. The family lived there until 1921, when her father Alfred Sao-ke Sze was appointed the first Chinese Ambassador to the United States and settled in Washington D.C. Mai-mai Sze moved there with him and attended the National Cathedral School until 1927, when she enrolled at Wellesley College. At Wellesley, Sze studied the humanities, including English literature and composition, religion, philosophy, European history, and art. She graduated in 1931.

Career
Following her graduation from Wellesley, Sze's primary activity appears to have been painting.  She exhibited a landscape in the 1933 Salon d'Automne, and also with Marie Sterner Galleries.  Sze also worked as a graphic designer.  In a letter to Dorothy Norman, Sze wrote: "I started... as a painter, did a lot of illustrating, ads, designs for packaging, materials, wallpapers...."  She illustrated her autobiography, Echo of a Cry.  In the same letter to Norman, Sze mentions working also in theater.  She made her first and only appearance as an actress in 1936, playing the Honorable Reader in Lady Precious Stream by Hsiung Shih-I.

Sze was notably photographed by several important artists, including Carl Van Vechten, George Platt Lynes, and Dorothy Norman.  Some of these photographs were published in fashion magazines including Vogue; it is unclear whether or not modeling was one facet of her career.

Sze also engaged in political affairs as an active advocate for war relief in China, and as writer and speaker on foreign relations with the Far East.  In 1944, she published a pamphlet on China, the second in the International Relations Series published by Western Reserve University Press, at the request of Dorothy Norman.  During the Second Sino-Japanese War and throughout World War II, Sze traveled in America lecturing on China and organized the Chinese War Relief Committee in New York.  She also published a regular column, "East-West" in the New York Post during this time.

There is little documentation of Sze's relationship with the costume designer Irene Sharaff.  The two women were living together at the time of Sze's death in 1992, and in 1989, they coordinated the donation of their personal collections of books to the New York Society Library. They also made a 1 million pound donation to Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. "The two ladies first heard about Lucy Cavendish College from an article, which appeared in the New York Times in October 1985 (read the original article). Following this, they met with Dame Anne Warburton, the College President at the time, and donated £1 million to Lucy Cavendish College. As well as funding the Music and Meditation Pavilion, their generous donation also endowed two prestigious research fellowships - the Alice Tong Sze Research Fellowship (named after Mai Mai Sze's mother) and the Lu Gwei Djen Research Fellowship.

Sadly neither Mai Mai Sze nor Irene Sharaff were ever able to visit Lucy Cavendish College before their deaths in 1992 and 1993 (they died just a few months apart), but they still asked that their ashes be buried in the gardens of the college. Today, their ashes rest under two halves of the same memorial rock beside the entrance to the Pavilion, surrounded by the music and beauty they so enjoyed". .In his history of the Bollingen Foundation, William McGuire wrote that Sze and Sharaff were both students of Natacha Rambova, who held private classes in comparative religion, symbolism, and Theosophy in her New York apartment in the 1930s.

Death and legacy
Mai-mai Sze died in New York Hospital on July 16, 1992, at age 82.

The books owned by Sze and Irene Sharaff were donated to the New York Society Library in New York City after their deaths, where they remain today.  The Sharaff/Sze Collection contains nearly one thousand books, including many on Chinese history, philosophy, and religion.  Many of these, including sinologist Joseph Needham's Science and Civilization in China, contain Sze's own annotations.

Sze and Sharaff also established a trust to support various educational and research institutions, including the Needham Research Institute and Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge University.  At Lucy Cavendish College, a bequest from the trust funded the construction of a music and meditation pavilion, and established the Alice Tong Sze and Lu Gwei Djen Research Fellowships.

title: Urban Justice Center

text:
The Urban Justice Center is a non-profit legal services and advocacy organization serving the New York City area. It is known as an incubator for progressive programs and initiatives and for being a significant legal presence in the struggles of New York's poverty stricken and minority populations. Urban Justice Center won the 2020 Webby People’s Voice Award for Law in the category Web.

History
Founded in 1984 as the Legal Action Center for the Homeless by Doug Lasdon, the Urban Justice Center (UJC) works for vulnerable New Yorkers through direct civil legal, political organizing, legislative advocacy and policy education. Some of the UJC's important legal victories in aid of the indigent include Doe v. City of New York, Tolle v. Dinkins, and joint legal action with other groups against the Grand Central Partnership and the 34th Street Partnership for hiring homeless employees at $1 an hour. The UJC's community building and immigrant aid programming was also recently recognized by New York City by their naming as finalists in the Competition THRIVE.

Originally operating from a burned-out building in Harlem staffed only by Lasdon the UJC has relocated to Lower Manhattan and as of 2013 has a staff of over 100 with an operating budget of over $7.5 million. The UJC has provided 96,000 people with community legal education and has closed 8,881 cases thus far. Real estate deals undertaken by Lasdon in 2007 led to the $5.7 million sale, close to 10 times the initial amount paid for, of the UJC office space at 666 Broadway in 1997. The UJC's headquarters are located on Rector Street, and were purchased with its real estate profits and a $5 million grant from New York City.

The UJC sponsors the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), which works to organize law students and lawyers to develop and enforce legal and human rights for refugees and displaced persons. They have offices in New York City, Jordan, and Lebanon. IRAP is a plaintiff in the 2017 decision International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump and co-counsel in Darweesh v. Trump.

Organization
The UJC is made up of 10 anti-poverty projects devoted to specific goals and clientele. Projects are led by directors, who are empowered to manage the staffing, fundraising and advocacy work for their individual projects almost autonomously. The executive office of the UJC provides overhead funding for the organization and overall mission direction. The executive office led by the UJC’s founder and executive director along with two associate directors and maintains a support staff of administrators, development and financial officers.

title: Don Camillo: Monsignor

text:
Don Camillo: Monsignor is a 1961 French-Italian comedy film directed by Carmine Gallone, starring Fernandel and Gino Cervi. The French title is Don Camillo Monseigneur and the Italian title is Don Camillo monsignore... ma non troppo. It was the fourth of five films featuring Fernandel as the Italian priest Don Camillo and his struggles with Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi, the Communist mayor of their rural town. In this instalment, Don Camillo has become a monsignor and Peppone a senator.

Plot summary

In Brescello, Don Camillo and Peppone have left for Rome, after yet another battle royal. Don Camillo has become a monsignor, while Peppone has become a national senator. Both retain their pure and provincial spirit, not suitable to the crude realities of the city, and so they both contrive to return to Brescello. While Don Camillo is planning – in secret – the wedding in a Catholic ceremony of the son of Peppone, the mayor tries to bribe the bride's father to undergo a civil wedding. Don Camillo responds with a proposed deal on the sale of a gas station. Since Peppone, being a Communist, cannot be seen to deal with money, having won the Italian football pools, he decides to hide the ticket. Don Camillo unmasks him, and the two return to fight, as they prepare once again to leave for Rome.

title: Banca Finnat

text:
Banca Finnat is a company that provides investment services to institutional, private and corporate customers; it is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange. The Bank's origins date back to 1898, when the company was founded by the Nattino family, initially as a finance company. Banca Finnat then became a brokerage company, a real estate brokerage company and lastly, since 12 February 1998, an intermediary bank. Banca Finnat is today listed in the STAR section of the Borsa Italiana-London Stock Exchange.

Organization

The key operating areas of Banca Finnat are asset management and financial consulting for private and corporate clients, besides real estate management services through the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. InvestiRE SGR S.p.A., a real estate fund manager, Banca Finnat manages 7 billion assets diversified on various products and markets.

Some history

The origins and history of Banca Finnat date back to 1898, when Pietro Nattino opened a financial business, which has been developed by the successive generations of the family to the present day. In 1961, Euramerica Finanziaria Internazionale was established following a partnership with Morgan Group. In 1991, after the enactment of the new Italian law on stockbroking companies, both Finnat and Euramerica were registered as Società di intermediazione mobiliare or SIMs. In 1998, the company became a bank, specialising in investment services for institutional clients, businesses and individuals.

Today, Banca Finnat is listed in the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange-London Stock Exchange and offers investment services.

In February 2017 Giampietro Nattino left the office of president. In March 2018 Banca Finnat decided to exit the London Stock Exchange, of which it had been a shareholder since 2007 following the merger of the London Stock Exchange with Borsa Spa: it was the last Italian banking partner. In 2018 Flavia Mazzarella was appointed president, until 2021 when she was replaced by the new president: Marco Tofanelli. After trying to acquire Cesare Ponti bank to grow in northern Italy, it updated the Business Plan until 2024 aiming to grow the subsidiary InvestiRE Sgr Spa, the real estate asset management company of the Group.

Headquarters and major offices

Palazzo Altieri, the headquarters of Banca Finnat, was designed halfway through the 17th century by the architect Antonio De' Rossi, and subsequently decorated by several artists on the request of Pope Clement X. At the end of the 18th century the building became an important monument to the Roman and International Neoclassicism.

title: Marcus Wallenberg Sr

text:
Marcus Laurentius Wallenberg, Sr.  (5 March 1864 – 22 July 1943) was a Swedish banker and industrialist. He served as CEO of Stockholms Enskilda Bank (SEB) from 1911 to 1920.

Early life
Wallenberg was born on 5 March 1864 in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of André Oscar Wallenberg and his second wife Anna Wallenberg. He had 13 full siblings, and four half-siblings, including Knut Agathon Wallenberg (1853–1938).

Wallenberg became underlöjtnant in the Swedish Navy in 1882 but left his position the same year at the age of 18 and received a Candidate of Law degree from Uppsala University in 1888. He was appointed Master of Laws with court training in 1890.

Career

SEB
In 1890, Wallenberg became ombudsman for Stockholms Enskilda Bank (SEB) and from 1892 belonged to the bank's executive board. In 1892, Marcus's older half brother, Knut Agaton Wallenberg, served as CEO of Stockholms Enskilda Bank and induced Marcus to come work for him as vice president of the bank; an offer Marcus accepted. His older brother retired as CEO in the year of 1911 and Marcus replaced him as CEO. He served as CEO until the year of 1920. Marcus laid the very foundation of the bank for decades with his emphatic defense of his own banking policy and constant emphasis on the importance of family traditions. He became vice chairman of the board of SEB in 1920 and then served as its chairman from 1938 until his death in 1943.

Other businesses
Wallenberg participated in the founding of  (1899) and AB Emissionsinstitutet (1914). In addition, Wallenberg had been so intrigued by the promotion of Swedish industry that his name became intimately connected with its development in the first quarter of the 20th century. During his initiative and participation, several of Sweden's largest industrial facilities have either been founded or reorganized on an economic basis; in addition, he has promoted the achievements of Swedish industry abroad. Among such contributions from Wallenberg's side can be mentioned the founding of  (1895), Svenska Dieselbolaget (1898), Svensk-Dansk-Ryska Telefonaktiebolaget (1900) and Mexican Telefon AB Ericsson (1905). Other companies founded or co-founded by Wallenberg include Virsbo AB, AS Tyssefaldene and AB Sydafrikanska Handelskompaniet and more. He worked with the investigation of Fernaverken's business (1891–1903), the reconstruction of Allmänna Svenska Elektriska AB (ASEA) (1905 and subsequent years), the reorganization of Nordiska trävaru AB (1908), the reorganization of  (1912) and of  (1912). Along with the Norwegian Sam Eyde, he founded Norsk hydro elektrisk kvælstofsaktieselskab in 1905, whose facilities at Notodden in Norway have been epoch-making for the extraction of nitrogen compounds from the air. Wallenberg was the leading representative in Sweden of the modern pursuit of industry concentration under the leadership of the major banks. His strong interest in industrial development gave him reason to, together with E. J. Ljungberg in 1910, found the Federation of Swedish Industries (Sveriges Industriförbund). Wallenberg was chairman, vice chairman or board member of Diligentia, Investor AB, Emissionsinstitutet, Papyrus, Försäkringsaktiebolaget Freja and Skandia, Kopparfors AB, Compagnie d'applications mécaniques (France), State Bank of Morocco, Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB, Storviks Sulfit AB, Wifstavarfs AB, Yngeredsfors Kraft AB as well as Norsk hydro elektrik kvælstofsaktieselskab and Orkla Mining Company in Norway. A stately testimony to the significance of his efforts in these various fields leaves the Ekonomiska studier, tillägnade Marcus Wallenberg på hans 50-årsdag ("Economic Studies, dedicated to Marcus Wallenberg on his 50th birthday", 1914), a festschrift authored by about thirty collaborators in the field of practical and theoretical economics.

Wallenberg, who was widely used for committee assignments in banking legislation and related matters, was from 1917 a member of the Trade Council (Handelsrådet). During World War I, he was repeatedly called upon to bring about trade agreements with England and its allies. He was thus a member of the Swedish negotiating delegation, which in the autumn of 1916 was sent to London. After the settlement agreement, which this delegation brought home to Sweden in February 1917, was not approved by the , Wallenberg was sent back to London the same year in November by the Edén-Hellner Cabinet as a member of a new negotiating delegation. The agreements, which were now signed on 29 May 1918 with England, France, the United States and Italy and which assured Sweden of the supply of food and other necessities against the leasing of tonnage to the Triple Entente, and the restriction of exports to the Central Powers, were primarily Wallenberg's work. In the winter of 1919, Wallenberg had to monitor Sweden's interests in financial matters on behalf of the Swedish government during the Paris Peace Conference and in 1920 was Sweden's representative at the Brussels Finance Conference.

In 1920 he became a member of the League of Nations' newly established Financial Committee, of which he was chairman from 1921 to 1922. In 1921, Wallenberg founded the Swedish Taxpayers' Association. Wallenberg participated in leading positions in the implementation of the Dawes Plan, and was the sole permanent arbitrator in disputes concerning the interpretation and application of the law, the financial burden on German industry and was a member of the permanent arbitration tribunal for disputes concerning the Dawes Plan application.

Personal life
On 19 August 1890, Wallenberg married Gertrud Amalia Hagdahl (1864–1959), the daughter of Charles Emil Hagdahl and Emilia Gylling on 19 August 1890. The couple had two sons and four daughters; Sonja (1891–1970), Jacob (1892–1980), Andrea (1894–1980), Gertrud (1895–1983), Marcus (1899–1982) and Ebba (1896–1960).

Marcus raised both his sons in a systematic way to prepare them for a career in the family bank. A successful upbringing considering both sons served as CEO of the bank. In 1960, Jacob Wallenberg founded the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation in memory of his parents.

Death
Marcus Wallenberg died on 22 July 1943 at the age of 79 at Malmvik Estate in Lindö in Ekerö Municipality. He is buried in the  in Malmvik.

title: 2014–15 LSU Tigers basketball team

text:
The 2014–15 LSU Tigers basketball team represented Louisiana State University during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team's head coach was Johnny Jones, who was in his third season at LSU.  They played their home games at Pete Maravich Assembly Center as members of the Southeastern Conference. They finished the season 22–11, 11–7 in SEC play to finish in a four-way tie for third place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament to Auburn. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they lost in the second round to NC State.

Previous season and offseason
LSU completed the 2013–14 season with an overall record of 20–14 and a 9–9 record in Southeastern Conference play.  After receiving a bye for the first round of the SEC tournament, the Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the second round.  They were eliminated by the Kentucky Wildcats in the quarterfinals. They were invited to the National Invitation Tournament where they defeated San Francisco in the first round. They were eliminated by SMU in the second round.

The Tigers lost several key players following the end of the season.  Andre Stringer, the team's leading three-point shooter, completed his senior season.  Junior forward Johnny O'Bryant III, the team leader in scoring and rebounding, elected to forgo his senior season and enter the 2014 NBA draft, where he was selected in the second round by the Milwaukee Bucks.  In a somewhat surprising move, LSU chose not to renew the scholarship of point guard Anthony Hickey, who led the team in assists and steals, for the 2014–15 season.  Hickey transferred to Oklahoma State, where he received a waiver from the NCAA to allow him to play immediately.

Keith Hornsby, who transferred to LSU from UNC Asheville and was required to sit out the prior season, will be eligible to play beginning with the 2014–15 season.  The Tigers also signed a strong recruiting class, which included Elbert Robinson, one of the top-rated centers in the country, and Josh Gray, a junior college transfer at guard who led the NJCAA in scoring in 2013-2014 with 34.7 points per game.

title: Liberty (sternwheeler)

text:
Liberty was a sternwheel steamboat that was operated on the Coquille River  and then on Coos Bay from 1903 to 1918.  Liberty was notable for having its ownership entangled in various legal claims in the early 1910s, including some involving a colorful North Bend, Oregon  business promoter Lorenzo Dow "Major" Kinney (1855-1920).

Construction and initial inspection
Liberty was built in 1903 at Bandon, Oregon by Carl Herman.  Liberty was  long, with a beam of  and depth of hold of .  The steamer measured out at 176 gross and 120 net tons. The required number of crew members was shown as four.  The official U.S. steamboat registry number was 200083.

It was reported that on September 12, 1903, the U.S. steamboat inspectors Edwards and Fuller departed Portland, Oregon to inspect the steamers Dispatch and Liberty at Coquille City.  However, the official report of the inspection service states that Libertys first inspection was earlier, on August 25, 1903.

Operations on the Coquille river
Liberty'''s operations on the Coquille river included a variety of passenger and freight transport.   On September 4, 1904, the steamers Liberty, Dispatch, and Favorite offered to deliver baled grass and clover hay to Bandon or Coquille City at a price of $11 per ton.  On July 29, 1905, Liberty was scheduled to carry an excursion party from Coquille City to Bandon.    On Sunday July 7, 1907, Liberty transported an excursion from Coquille City to Bandon of persons who had come to Coquille City by train to watch the Coos Bay area baseball teams play teams in the Coquille area.Liberty also filled in for other steamers.  On August 24, 1905, the steamer Favorite was off its route for several days, and Liberty took Favorites place.

Sinking and other hazards

On April 19, 1907, when Liberty was tied up to a dock at Bandon, a water line had been run on to the boat to fill up the boat's water supply to generate steam for the boiler.  Someone left the water line running overnight, which swamped and sank the Liberty.  The boat remained on the bottom until April 23, when the Bandon life-saving crew was able to use barges to raise the vessel's deck above the surface of the water.  The hull was then pumped out, repairs were effected, and the steamer was able to return to service.  Liberty was back in running condition no later than July 7, 1907.

Fire was a serious danger to wooden ships like Liberty, particularly steamers due to their use of fireboxes and boilers.  On August 15, 1906, a fire at Parkersburgh destroyed the sawmill and almost all of the buildings in the town.  The schooner Oregon, tied at the dock and loading cargo, was damaged by the fire.  Oregon would have been completely destroyed, but Liberty came along and towed the schooner away from the fire. On July 29, 1907, Liberty under the command of Captain Moomaw, held a fire drill which was praised in the press for its realism.Liberty was fueled by slab wood, and the loading of the fuel could be dangerous.  On August 7, 1908, it was reported that the previous Monday, Liberty's captain, H.W. Dunham, sustained serious injury to his foot when the steamer was loading slab wood at Prosper.   A large piece of wood came down end-ways from the high dock, striking Dunham's foot and fracturing the bones in some of his toes.

Merger of boat lines

On October 30, 1908, it was reported that the Coquille River Transportation Company was considering bringing Liberty to Coos Bay and put it on the Coos River run.  The decision depended on whether a proposed merger of the lines, went through, and if it did not, Liberty, might be transferred to the bay.

On November 5, 1908, Captain C.E. Edwards, who was in charge of the steamers Alert and Alma, announced that there would be a merger, effective December 1, 1908, of the craft operating on the Coos River and the various inlets around Coos Bay.   A new corporation would be formed to take ownership of the boats.  Although precisely which boats would be acquired by the corporation had not yet been determined, those controlled by Captain Rogers, the boats of Captain Edwards, and the steamer Liberty would be included.

A scheduled had not been set, but Captain Edwards stated that Marshfield and North Bend would be the terminals of all the lines, and that the schedules would be spread out more, rather than bunching up together to complete for business at the same time and place.

Stock from the new corporation was to be issued in a value equal to the boats and the business brought into the corporation.  Managers of the Coquille Transportation Company, Stratton and C.J. McLean would come to Coos Bay and participate the management of the new company.

Transfer to Coos Bay
Following the merger, Liberty was brought to Coos Bay.  The vessel underwent an overhaul at North Bend, which was complete by January 18, 1909, when Liberty was brought north from the Coquille River to Marshfield.  It was thought that Liberty would soon be placed on a regular run, probably from Marshfield to Allegany on the north fork of the Coos River, in conjunction with the Alert.

On May 5, 1909, it was reported that Liberty had been placed in service towing logs, and was to overhauled in preparation for being placed into passenger service.  As of July 19, 1909, Liberty was still towing logs, taking a large tow that day to the C.A. Smith mill.   By August 20, 1909, Liberty was able to carry passengers, having been designed that day to carry a party of excursionists.  And by November 14, 1909, Liberty was carrying parties for events such as funerals.

Sale to Coos Bay Rapid Transit Company
On April 25, 1910, the owners of Liberty, McLain, Stratton, and Smith, announced that they had sold the steamer to H.P. Campbell of the Coos Bay Rapid Transit Company for a price of $10,000.  At about that time the Coos Bay Rapid Transit Company, whose principal promoter was Lorenzo Dow Kinney (1855-1920), was soliciting bids for the construction of a street railway from its dock in North Bend to Marshfield.

Kinney, who sometimes was referred to as "Major" Kinney, was a North Bay businessman who engaged in a variety of dubious schemes.Terry, John, "Huge plans for Coos Bay a huge flop", Oregonian, October 30, 2009. (accessed 08-05-2014). Eventually Kinney's rapid transit plans amounted only to "a horse-drawn wagon with a nickel fare and a boat on the bay."

McLain, one of the three men who sold Liberty to the Coos Bay Rapid Transit Company, later sued Kinney over the sale.  McLain alleged that Kinney had issued him worthless "pool certificates" for the boat's value.  On January 27, 1913,  Captain McLain arrived in Coos County from the Columbia River to give testimony in the trial

The case was tried before Coos County Circuit Court Judge John S. Coke (b.1867).  The plaintiffs won, and were awarded a judgment of $20,000 against Kinney.  In 1914, the case was argued before the Oregon Supreme Court by lawyer Charles A. Sehlbrede (1852-1922).  The verdict for the plaintiff was reversed by the Oregon Supreme Court, which found that the evidence produced at trial was insufficient to support the plaintiff's formal allegations.

Lawsuits and claims
In addition to the Kinney matter, Liberty became subject to a lot of claims and litigation.  In September, 1910 a lawsuit against Liberty filed by M.H. Prendergast was scheduled to be heard before the Coos County Circuit Court.  In October, 1910, it was reported that Liberty was to be sold by the Sheriff to satisfy the claims of various creditors, but there was a delay in the sale so that the sheriff could evaluate the legal priority of the claims.  J.C. Gray held a mortgage on the steamer but there were also competing labor claims, apparently for unpaid wages.  It was the notice given by J.C. Gray of his mortgage that caused the sheriff to delay the sale.  Eventually Liberty was bought at a sheriff's sale by the Smith-Powers Logging Company and converted into a tug.

Conversion to tow boat
To prepare Liberty for conversion to a tow boat, the new owners, Smith-Powers Logging Company removed the boiler so that newer boilers could be installed.  The old boilers from Liberty were installed into the sternwheeler Alert.

Following reconstruction, on September 21, 1911, steamboat inspectors Edwards and Fuller arrived in Coos Bay from Portland to examine Liberty.  The reconstruction involved the installation of new and more powerful engines and the removal of the cabin from the boat.  On October 13, 1911, it was reported that both Liberty and the steamer Maple, on the Coquille River, both passed an inspection carried out by steamboat inspectors Fuller and Ames.

Later years
In 1915, Liberty was reported to be the same length and beam as originally built, and still in passenger service, but to be somewhat reduced in size, to 140 gross and 85 net tons.

In January 1916, thieves stole about $1,000 in brass and other metal parts and tools from the Liberty, the sternwheel steamer Powers, and the gasoline launch Pacific.   The parts and tools were sold to foundries.  The extensive nature of the work needed to steal the machinery, as well as the heavy weight of some of the items taken, indicated a long term planned effort by a number of conspirators.

Disposition and historical issue
The last disposition of Liberty is unclear.  There may have been a transfer to Pprtland.  In 1917, it was reported that a vessel named Liberty had been acquired by Hosford towing concern of the Columbia River, and was under repair In Portland.

One historian reports that Liberty was transferred to the San Francisco Bay, and thereafter abandoned, in 1920, on a mudflat near Oakland, California.  Available evidence indicates that this was incorrect.  There was an earlier vessel named Liberty (U.S. registry number 141917) built at Bandon, in 1889, and operating in San Francisco Bay as of 1918.  At 60 gross and 30 net tons, this propeller-driven vessel was much smaller than the 1903 Bandon-built sternwheeler Liberty.  Unlike the 1889 propeller Liberty, the 1903 sternwheeler Liberty (U.S. registry number 200083) does not appear in the 1918 annual merchant list.

Another historian lists Liberty as being out of service in 1918, with no further details.  End of service in 1918 is consistent with Liberty's not being shown on the 1918 list of merchant vessels.

Career
Bossy was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he was inspired by Walter Ullmann. He lived and lectured in London (1962–66) and Belfast (1966–78) and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.

Bossy specialised in the history of religion, particularly in that of Christianity during the Reformation period and beyond. According to some commentators, his approach fused together elements of disciplines such as sociology and theology.

His Ph.D. thesis was written on the relations between French and English Catholics during the period of the Renaissance which contained within it the seeds of later work regarding Michel de Castelnau.

He frequently wrote for the London Review of Books and published series of articles in the journals Recusant History and Past & Present. In 1991 The Embassy Affair won the British Crime Writers' Association CWA Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction and (jointly) the Wolfson History Prize.

He moved to the University of York in 1979, where he was professor of History until his retirement in 2000. In 1993 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.

title: Palant

text:
Palant is a Polish bat-and-ball game, similar to American baseball, played by using a solid wooden bat and rubber balls. Similar games are German Schlagball, Russian lapta and Romanian oină.

In the United States
In his book God's Playground, Norman Davies suggests that baseball may have developed from Palant as played by the first Polish immigrants, such as the Jamestown Polish craftsmen, who arrived in October 1608 on the emigrant ship Mary and Margaret, which brought the first Polish settlers into Jamestown, Virginia. According to Davies, those Polish artisans were said to be responsible for the continent's first industrial strike, and in the game of Palant, for the invention of Baseball.

However, many Native American people played a similar game well before the arrival in the Americas of European people, as recorded in Cherokee sources.

Rules
Palant is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 7 to 15 players on a field 60 m long and 25 m wide. The bat, also called "palant," is a 60-cm-long wooden stick that can be round or flattened. The ball has a 5 to 7 cm diameter and is made of rubber. The field is divided into two zones called "heaven", where the batting team is, and "hell," where the defending team is. The game is usually played over two 20-minute halves for a total match time of 40 minutes.

The batting team is trying to maintain the heaven side for as long as possible. A batting player stands on the edge of the field (the heaven line). They have to serve their own ball and hit it so it lands in the other half of the field (in hell). A batting player, after a successful hit, places their palant stick on the heaven line and starts running, through the whole field, to the hell line, and then back to the heaven line. They can stop at the center line and continue their run after the next batting player hits the ball. If the run is successful, the player earns one point. If a batting player misses the ball, they wait until the following batting player hits it successfully, and then they can run along.

The defending team occupies the hell side and seeks to switch sides as quickly as possible. They do it by catching the ball while it's still in the air or by catching the ball after it falls on the ground and eliminating the running heaven players by hitting them with the ball (when all heaven players are eliminated, teams switch sides). A batting player can also be eliminated if they forget to place their palant on the heaven line or if they are still running (not standing on the center or hell line) when the ball, thrown by the defending team, enters the heaven side.

Each team has a "mother" - a privileged player with three attempts at batting.

When the game time ends, the team with the most points wins.
