title: 1816 United States elections

text:
The 1816 United States elections elected the members of the 15th United States Congress. Mississippi and Illinois were admitted as states during the 15th Congress. The election took place during the First Party System. The Democratic-Republican Party controlled the Presidency and both houses of Congress, while the Federalist Party provided only limited opposition. The election marked the start of the Era of Good Feelings, as the Federalist Party became nearly irrelevant in national politics after the War of 1812 and the Hartford Convention.

In the Presidential election, Democratic-Republican Secretary of State James Monroe easily defeated Federalist Senator Rufus King of New York. Monroe faced a more difficult challenge in securing his party's nomination, but was able to defeat Secretary of War William H. Crawford in the Democratic-Republican congressional nominating caucus. The Federalists never again fielded a presidential candidate.

In the House, Democratic-Republicans won major gains, and continued to dominate the chamber.

In the Senate, Democratic-Republicans picked up a moderate number of seats, increasing their already-dominant majority.

title: Como dice el dicho

text:
Como dice el dicho (translation: As the saying goes) is a Mexican anthology drama series produced by Genoveva Martínez for Televisa. The series premiered on February 1, 2011, on Las Estrellas, and is currently airing its eleventh season.

The series covers a variety of stories in which a proverb (usually of Mexican origin) is selected for each episode and applied to real-life situations such as family violence, economic crisis, personal growth, the dignity of women, homosexuality, and drug addiction, among others.

Plot
The series is set in present-day Mexico City, mostly at a café named "Café El Dicho" owned by Don Tomás, who is helped by his granddaughter Isabel and his employees. Episodes usually center around the customers who, most of the time, are dealing with a problem. Throughout the episode a proverb is written in one of the white walls of the café, either by Don Tomás, one of his employees, or by a customer. The saying that is written usually describes the situation of what is happening in the particular moment it is written.

Production

Filming
Unlike many Televisa productions, Como dice el dicho is filmed on location in various parts of Mexico City. Six episodes are shot per week; two episodes are filmed simultaneously. The coffee shop scenes in Season 1 and the first episodes of Season 2 were filmed in the colonia Condesa in the borough of Cuauhtémoc. Since Season 2, coffee shop scenes have been filmed in the colonia Anzures in the borough of Miguel Hidalgo. The crew usually films at the coffee shop once or twice a week. The first two episodes of the fourth season were filmed in Zacatlán, Puebla, which was the first time the series filmed episodes outside of Mexico City. The first two episodes of the fifth season were filmed in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution.

Music
The series' original theme song is called "Como dice el dicho". It is performed by Mexican singer Mané de la Parra in Seasons 1 and 3. The same theme song is used for Season 2 but is performed by singer Jass Reyes. For season 4 a new song performed by Marco Di Mauro was used as the show's theme; this song is also called "Como dice el dicho". For seasons 5 and 6 the original theme song returned and was performed by Mané de la Parra and Margarita Vargas. For season 7, the song is performed by de la Parra and the Mexican band La Original Banda El Limón. In season 8 the song is performed by de la Parra and Mario Bautista.

title: Mojokerto child

text:
The Mojokerto child, also known as Mojokerto 1 and Perning 1, is the fossilized skullcap of a juvenile early human.  It was discovered in February 1936 near Mojokerto (East Java, Indonesia) by a member of an excavation team led by Ralph von Koenigswald. Von Koenigswald first called the specimen Pithecanthropus modjokertensis but soon renamed it Homo modjokertensis because Eugène Duboisthe discoverer of Java Man, which was then called Pithecanthropus erectusdisagreed that the new fossil was a Pithecanthropus. The skullcap is now identified as belonging to the species Homo erectus.

The Mojokerto child has been the most controversial of the early human fossils that have been found in Indonesia. Its date and even the exact site of its discovery have been widely disputed. First thought to be less than 1.00 Ma (million years old), in 1994 it was claimed, based on argon–argon dating, which was then a new dating method, that the skull was around 1.81 Ma old. The authors of the paper, Carl C. Swisher III and Garniss Curtis, argued that this date had wide implications for our understanding of the first human migrations "Out of Africa". In the early 2000s, however, new archival and scientific research identified the precise layer from which the fossil was excavated in 1936 and showed conclusively that the fossil's earliest possible date was 1.49 Ma.

Discovery and names

The fossilized skullcap was discovered in February 1936 by Andojo – sometimes referred to as Tjokrohandojo or Andoyo – an Indonesian who worked at excavating animal fossils in the Kendeng Hills (Pegunungan Kendeng) in East Java on a team led by Ralph von Koenigswald. Andojo originally believed the skull belonged to an orangutan, but von Koenigswald immediately recognized it as human. He named it Pithecanthropus modjokertensis after the nearby town of Mojokerto, which was then spelled "Modjokerto". Eugène Dubois, who had discovered Java Man in the 1890s and named it Pithecanthropus erectus, wrote to von Koenigswald arguing that if the Mojokerto fossil were indeed human, then it could not be a Pithecanthropus (lit., an "ape-man"). Von Koenigswald thus renamed his fossil Homo modjokertensis. It was eventually classified as Homo erectus just like "Java Man" and the numerous early human fossils that von Koenigswald and others found in Sangiran. In Indonesia, the fossil is known as Pithecanthropus modjokertensis.

The fossil's two catalog names "Mojokerto 1" and "Perning 1" come from the town of Mojokerto, which is about  southwest of the site, and from the little village of Perning, which is  northeast of Mojokerto and  south of the site.

Controversial date
For decades, the Mojokerto child, whose gender is unknown, was considered non-datable, because the exact site where it was found could not be clearly determined. By 1985, four different locations had been proposed as the possible site of discovery. It was also unclear whether the fossil had been excavated or found on the surface, making dating difficult even if the site itself became certain.

In the early 1990s, geochronologist Garniss Curtis and paleontologist Carl C. Swisher III used the argon–argon dating method to propose a date of 1.81 ± 0.04 Ma for the fossil, that is, 1.81 million years ago, with a margin of error of plus or minus 40,000 years. Their rock sample "hornblende grains from volcanic pumice that appeared to match the filling of the skull" came from a site shown to them in 1990 by Teuku Jacob, an Indonesian paleoanthropologist who had studied under Ralph von Koenigswald. Swisher and Curtis announced their findings in a paper that was published in Science magazine in 1994.

The fossil's unexpectedly old age was announced in at least 221 newspapers including on the front page of The New York Times and prompted cover stories in Discover, New Scientist, and Time magazines. Swisher and Curtis's conclusion was hotly debated, because it meant that the Mojokerto child was as old as the oldest known specimens of African Homo ergaster (also called Homo erectus sensu lato), suggesting that Homo erectus could have left Africa much earlier than thought, or even evolved in Southeast Asia rather than Africa as most scientists had assumed. Few critics questioned the dating method, but several objected that, considering the uncertainty surrounding the fossil's discovery site, it was unclear whether the rock samples used for dating had been taken from the right location.

In 2003, a paper published by a team led by archeologist Mike Morwood presented 1.49 ± 0.13 Ma as the latest possible date, based on "fission-track dating of single zircon grains". Morwood argued that the rock samples Curtis and Swisher dated came from a pumice bed located  below the one above which the Mojokerto skullcap was found. The geological horizon immediately under the fossil Morwood calls it "Pumice Horizon 5" dates back to 1.49 Ma, whereas the one just above "Pumice Horizon 6" dates from 1.43 ± 0.1 Ma. In 2006, Australian archeologist Frank Huffman used pictures and fieldnotes from the 1930s to identify the exact site of the excavation and confirmed that the fossil was indeed found between the two layers that Morwood had dated. Morwood's and Huffman's conclusions have been widely accepted.

title: BEP Akitek Sdn Bhd

text:
BEP Akitek Sdn Bhd (formerly as Booty Edwards & Partners) is an architectural firm based in Malaysia.
Ralph Booty & Sidney James set up their practice in Singapore in 1910 and began the Booty Edwards & Partners firm on September 7, 1923. Ralph Booty had previously operated the firm Ralph Booty and Co. The new firm was first called Booty and Edwards.Arthur Oakley Coltman bought the firm in 1930. It was later called Booty, Edwards & Partners and the firm operated with offices in Colombo, Penang as well as Kuala Lumpur.
In 1969 the firm was renamed BEP Akitek Sdn Bhd, the name it still carries. A major event in the firm's early history is when it won an architectural competition for the design of Colombo’s Town Hall and Municipal Offices, held in 1922. The Town Hall remains an imposing landmark in Colombo city. On May 24, 1924, the foundation stone was laid to build this magnificent building to house the Municipal Council of the country's principal city.

The firm became a major force in the development of Southeast Asia's architecture in the 20th century. It not only was responsible for some of the major governmental and commercial buildings in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Singapore, it also ushered in a new type of architectural practice: a major office run on the corporate model established by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM), in the United States. Many of the major Art Deco and modernist buildings came from architects who worked in the offices of Booty, Edwards, and Partners.

Notable projects

 Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH), 1935 ()
The idea with this project was to provide a governing building for the organization that would act as its centre of operations and cultural activities, and provide an architectural identity. The committee for the hall had existed since 1910 but officially came together in 1926. The size of the building is: 43 m (length) x 63 m (width) x 14 m (height) and is located at No.1, Jalan Maharajalela, 50150 Kuala Lumpur, across the  Maharajalela Monorail station. Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH) is designed following a neo-classical model. It is an architectural style that began in the late-18th century. Neoclassical works were a stylistic reaction against the Rococo style of florid ornament, although some of the building's features are Late Baroque, with certain classical and Palladian elements. The hall also shows the British colonial influence. The most prominent feature of the interior is a central hall with a high ceiling. The three entrances at the front relate to the significance given to the number three in Chinese culture, which means – man, earth, and the sky which balance out the universe.
During its glory days, the hall was filled by the Chinese community that gathered for news, to participate in cultural programs or to watch stage performances. During World War II, it was a place where people sought refuge and aid, and later in the 1950s, after independence, members of the hall played significant roles in encouraging the Chinese community to apply for citizenship. In the early twentieth century, many Chinese retained a close attachment to mainland China and during World War II, they even collected money to fund China’s war against Japan. But after the war, the communities felt there was a need to change the perception of the Chinese community towards the then Malaya and to create sense of belonging. The hall played important role in this social movement. Construction of the building started in 1926 and it was completed only in 1935. The building has a touch of Asian architectural features with its dome and some of the detailing. The budget was 177,135 Malayan dollars.

 Police Co-operative Building Kuala Lumpur, 1959 ()
A 200-metre walk away from the KLSCAH, the Police Co-operative Building, known today as Bangunan Koperasi Polis, is an experiment by the Federation of Malaya Police Co-operative Thrift & Loan Society Ltd. of investment in real estate and took into consideration the high demand for good office space in the fast developing federal capital.
The building stands on a site of 17,000 square feet, and is bounded on one side by Sultan Suleiman Road and on two sides by Kampung Attap Road.
It is a thirteen storeys high and comprises a basement, ground floor, eleven typical upper floors and a double storeyed penthouse . Reinforced concrete was used throughout the structure. The width of the typical floor plan was kept to a desirable minimum in order to obtain natural lighting conditions from the windows which are all placed roughly due north or south. The height of the building is approximately 155 ft. In order to reduce the sun's heat loads on the building all windows are shielded from direct rays by horizontal hoods and vertical fins.
The construction of this building started in 1958 and was completed in 1959. The consulting engineers were Steen Sehested & Partners and A.C.Boon & Cheah Co Ltd as the contractors.
 Yau Tet Shin Market and Shopping Center, 1961-2002 ()
Located along Jalan Cowan (now Jalan Raja Ekram) in the historical core of Ipoh, it was known to locals as 'Bat Kok Lau' (八角樓), which is Cantonese for octagonal building. The light weight concrete structure replaced an earlier market at the same site. The owner was the successful businessman, Yau Tet Shin. Construction started in early 1961, and it opened in December, 1961. Yau Tet Shin's son was in attendance at the opening. It was torn down in 2002; by 2015 a newer, taller building, known as One Octagon (in homage to the old market's octagonal shape), stood on the site. The cost was $475,000.
 Mercantile Bank, 1961 ()
The Mercantile Bank is located on Old Market Square, Kuala Lumpur. It cost $4 million, and consisted of two floors below street level and 11 floors above. It is 144 feet high and has a total floor area of over 100,000 square feet. The whole upper part of the building is sheathed with a gold anodised aluminum grille which lent the structure a distinctive appearance. The grille was not only decorative, it deflected the sun’s ray and thus, in conjunction with heat-resisting glass, saved considerably on cooling costs. Marble paving and wall cladding gave an air of luxury to the main floors. The columns on the ground floor entrance foyer were black Venetian mosaic. The entry floor surface utilized white marble paving and was enclosed in glass and aluminum. The main banking hall featured white Italian marble floors and teak paneled walls. The entire building was air-conditioned. The plant for this, plus machinery for three fully automatic lifts, controlled by an intricate electronic “brain”, was on the roof. It is now occupied by Pacific Express Hotel.

 Wisma Angkasapuri, 1968 ()
Designed by Ronald Pratt, an architect of BEP Akitek (Booty and Edward’s partnership). Built around the area of 33 acres and located at Bukit Putra, facing the Federal Highway that links with Kuala Lumpur and Port Swettenham. Construction began in 1966 and was officially completed in January 1968. It was inaugurated by 1st Prime Minister of Malaysia, Y.T.M. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj at 17 January 1968 and named as “Angkasapuri”.
Wisma Angkasapuri was functioned as a governmental building for ministry of information and television Department, headquarter of Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) which taking the responsibility of government to provide a broadcast service for free to benefit the people in Malaysia. The building was built in International style. Due to the climate of Malaysia, international style in Malaysia has liberally using shading panels, grilles and louvers instead of the ‘Basic form’ of international style in Europe and America during the pre and post-war period to cope with the local climate and keep the building cooler. In the post-independence period, most of the buildings in Kuala Lumpur had strongly using symbolism and boldness to create a nationalistic image. The shape of the shading panels of Wisma Angkasapuri was literally inspired from the shape of horseshoe crab and the shield of warrior which symbolize defensive, strong, protection and status.

title: 1812 United States elections

text:
The 1812 United States elections elected the members of the 13th United States Congress. The election took place during the First Party System, and shortly after the start of the War of 1812. The Federalist Party made a relatively strong showing, winning seats in both chambers while supporting a competitive challenge to the incumbent Democratic-Republican President. However, the Democratic-Republican Party continued its control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress.

In the Presidential election, incumbent Democratic-Republican President James Madison defeated New York Lieutenant Governor and New York City Mayor DeWitt Clinton. Clinton was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, but his presidential bid received the support of both anti-Madison Democratic-Republicans and many Federalists. Although Madison won, the Presidential election was the closest since the 1800 election, as Clinton won New England and three mid-Atlantic states.

Following the 1810 census, 39 seats were added to the House. Federalists won major gains, but Democratic-Republicans continued to dominate the chamber.

In the Senate, Federalists picked up a small number of seats, but Democratic-Republicans retained a dominant majority.

Background
Military conflict resulting from the Napoleonic Wars in Europe had been steadily worsening throughout James Madison's first term, and the British and French had been ignoring the neutrality of the United States at sea by seizing American ships to look for supposed deserters. The British further provoked the Americans by impressing American seamen, maintaining forts within United States territory in the Northwest, and supporting Native Americans at war with the U.S. Meanwhile, expansionists in the south and west of the United States coveted British Canada and Spanish Florida and wanted to use British provocations as a pretext to seize both areas. The pressure continued to build, and as a result the United States declared war on the United Kingdom on June 12, 1812. This occurred after Madison had been nominated by the Democratic-Republicans, but before the Federalists had made their nomination.

The Federalist Party had dominated the American government from 1789 to 1801 under Alexander Hamilton whilst retaining a stronghold in New England. It made a brief resurgence in the 1812 election by opposing the war, and dissolved shortly after in 1834.

title: M. V. Rajamma

text:
M. V. Rajamma (10 March 1918 – 23 April 1999) was an Indian actress, producer and playback singer of films mostly in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu languages from the 1930s through 1970s. She has the distinction of having acted as both heroine and mother to stalwart South Indian actors such as Dr. Rajkumar, Sivaji Ganesan, MGR and NTR. Karnataka Government established M. V. Rajamma Award in her honor.

Making her debut as a lead actress in the 1936 released Samsara Nauka Rajamma enjoyed an elaborate career in feature films across South India. She was the first and foremost woman producer in South India and in Kannada films. She produced the film Radha Ramana in 1943 under her own home banner Vijaya Films. Her entry to the Tamil films was through the 1940 classic hit film Uthama Puthiran. She went on to star in about 60 Kannada, 80 Tamil, 20 Telugu and one Hindi films in her career spanning around four decades.

Early life
Rajamma was born in 1921 at Agandanahalli, a village in today's Bangalore Urban district, hitherto a part of Kingdom of Mysore. Her father Nanjappa, a merchant, was fond of stage and encouraged her to act. Rajamma joined the theatre group Chandrakala Nataka Mandali as a teenager and performed in plays alongside B. R. Panthulu, who she would go on to collaborate frequently on stage and in films. She did her schooling at the Arya Balika school in Bangalore till the 8th grade. She later shifted base to Chennai for doing films.

Career
In the early 1930s, Rajamma was attracted to the stage theatre and entered the field at a time when male actors disguised themselves to play female characters. Rajamma enacted several inspiring roles in dramas such as Samsara Nauke, Gauthama Buddha and Subhadra. In 1935, when one of her stage plays Samsara Nauke was made into a film, she was cast again as the lead actress opposite to Panthulu. They went on to work together in many films for about 20 years. In 1940, she entered Tamil film industry in Chennai with the film Uthama Puthiran. From then on, she became one of the most sought after actresses across all the South Indian film industries. After her marriage, she concentrated mainly on playing motherly roles to the actors whom she had paired as a heroine earlier.

In 1943, Rajamma took her career to another level by producing the Kannada film Radha Ramana directed by Jyothish Sinha that featured herself opposite B. R. Panthulu in the lead. Acclaimed artists such as Balakrishna and G. V. Iyer were introduced through this film. It went on to perform well at the box-office which resulted in her second production venture Makkala Rajya (1960). Though the film was lauded by the critics, the box-office collections soared which made her back off from film production for a long while. However, she went on to star in many box-office blockbusters in both Kannada and Tamil film industries.

title: Hovet, Buskerud

text:
Hovet is a mountain village in Hol, Buskerud, Norway.

Hovet is located between Strandavatnet and Hovsfjorden. Hovet is the site of Hovet Chapel (Hovet kapell). The church is located in the south-east slope of a hill that shoots out into the valley from the north. It was constructed from drawings prepared by architect Ole Stein and inaugurated in 1910. The walls are built of timber frame and rest on a grouted natural stone foundation. All roofs are covered with slate.

Håkonsæt Fjellvilla is a mountain villa. It is situated in the centre of Hovet, near Hallingskarvet National Park, 15 minutes from Skisenter Hallingskarvet in Sudndalen, Hovet. and 20 min from the ski resorts of Geilo.

Hallingdal
Hovet belongs to the traditional district of Hallingdal, the Halling Valley, created by the Hallingdalselva or Hallingdal River. "Elva" is Norwegian for river. The Hallingdal River, also named "big river" or Storåni, originates from the Hardangervidda national park, streams via Hallingskarvet national park into the Hivju River, and from there into the Hivjufossen. The Hivjufossen streams into the river Storåne, which originates from two different mountainous areas: 1. the Geiteryggen area into the direction of Sudndalen, via the Hivjufossen outflow, into the direction of Hovet, and 2. the plateau of Stolsvatnet. These two river branches unite at the cross road of the FV50 and Grønsetlivegen in Hovet, named Storåne, which streams out into the Hovsfjorden, to follow its course from there, deeper into the valley of Hallingdal, as Hallingdalselva, into the direction of Oslo.

Hallingdal dialect
The residents of Hovet speak one of the several Hallingdal dialects, which are known as Hallingmål. These dialects have been studied, analysed, and compared with each other. The language of the Vikings, the old Norwegian language, gammel norsk, is still present in the Norwegian dialects. The areas in Norway that have been isolated from the modernising world have saved the old Norwegian language for disappearing. Centuries after the end of the deadly disease Black Death which took the lives of at least the half of the Norwegian people between 1347 and 1351, the Danish invaded Norway. Norway belonged to Denmark from 1523 (Kalmar Union) till 17 May 1814. The Danish and Norwegian language merged into what we know now as Bokmål, the official language, which exists next to the Nynorsk language.

Natural monuments
 Hovsfjorden is a nature reserve, a reservoir lake and partially a wetland.
 Hivjufossen, a 250 meters high waterfall, at the border of national park Hallingskarvet
 Strandavatnet, a regulated lake, at the border of national park Hallingskarvet

Etymology
The name "Hovet", and some other names in Hovet as a village, might be related with the Vikings. The literal translation of the place name "Hovet" is: "the hov". The word "hov" can be found in literature about sacred spaces in Viking law and religion, where is explained that "hov" is an old Norwegian word for "shrine".

A common place name element is hov (Old Norwegian), or hof, which denotes a heathen shrine. Scholars, however, do not believe it likely that all of the hof names originally meant "temple" or "shrine", rather most would have referred to a small building or area of a farmstead devoted to heathen worship. There is no evidence of buildings used solely as pagan temples being widespread in Scandinavia. As almost all of the places with names compounded in hof are actually farmsteads, an original meaning along the lines of "farm where cult meetings were held by the locals" might be more appropriate (Sproston).

Also the old Norwegian word "land" is related with pagan sites of worships. In Hovet the name Villand (Vill land means: Wild land) is often present: Villandsvegen, an area named Villand, where two families with this name live, the one family lives in Nørdre Villand, the northern side of the Villandsvegen, the other family lives at the southern side of the Villandsvegen, in Søre Villand. They are not relatives. When watching more upward on the same Hol Kommune map there is a pond named Villandstjødne on Mapcarta, tagged also as Villandstjørne as the Norwegian name, what might be an indication that stjødne is the dialect word in Hallingdal for stjørne. On the Hol Kommune map this pond is named Villandstjørne. The name Villandstjørne is a combination of the name Villand and tjørne. Tjørne is: lake, pond, tarn. Villandstjørne means the pond of Villand.

More names in the same area of Villandstjødne refer to sacred spaces in the Viking law and religion: Mørk, Mörk in Old Norwegian, meaning: forest, and categorized as sacred woods and groves. Very near to Villand is an area with the name Mørk; Hovsfjorden contains the word hov and fjorden. Both words are related with sacred spaces: hov (shrine) and fjörðr, old Norwegian for the word fjord, categorized in sacred spaces as bodies of water; Nese, headland where the river Storåne streams into Hovsfjorden. In the name Nese is the old Norwegian word Nes, which means headland, and which belongs to the sacred spaces of bodies of water; Vikabergi, next to Hovsfjorden, contains the old Norwegian name Vik, which means inlet. Vik is categorized as a sacred space of bodies of water; Torsbunatten is a hill. The name could be divided into «Tor»: the mythical god Thor, «bu», old Norwegian for several explanations of simple buildings, like a little house in nature, and «natten» as the Norwegian word for night. Other possibility could be to divide it in «Tor», and «bunatten», as a possible plural form of bunad in the Hallingdal dialect. Bunad is a traditional costume in Norway. The plural form of bunad however in Norwegian is bunader, not bunatten.

title: 1804 United States elections

text:
The 1804 United States elections elected the members of the 9th United States Congress. The election took place during the First Party System. The Democratic-Republican Party continued its control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress.

In the Presidential election, incumbent Democratic-Republican President Thomas Jefferson easily defeated Federalist former Governor Charles Pinckney of South Carolina. As the Twelfth Amendment had been ratified in 1804, this was the first election in which electors separately selected a president and a vice president.

In the House, Democratic-Republicans won moderate gains, boosting their already-dominant majority.

In the Senate, Democratic-Republicans made small gains, improving on their commanding majority.

title: 1800 United States elections

text:
The 1800 United States elections elected the members of the 7th United States Congress. The election took place during the First Party System, and is generally considered the first realigning election in American history. It was the first peaceful transfer of power between parties in American history. The Democratic-Republican Party won control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress for the first time. Conversely, the Federalist Party would never again control the Presidency or either house of Congress. Ohio was admitted as a state during the 7th Congress.

In the Presidential election, Democratic-Republican Vice President Thomas Jefferson became the first Democratic-Republican President, narrowly defeating incumbent Federalist President John Adams. Jefferson again won the South and Adams again won New England, but Jefferson won by adding New York and Maryland. Jefferson tied his own running mate, former Senator Aaron Burr of New York, in electoral votes, necessitating a contingent election in the House that Jefferson won. Burr, as the runner-up, was elected vice president. The contingent election led to the passage of the 12th Amendment, which altered the electoral college so that electors in all future elections cast an electoral vote for president and a separate electoral vote for vice president.

In the House, Democratic-Republicans won major gains, taking control of the chamber. In the Senate, Democratic-Republicans picked up several seats, taking control of the chamber for the first time in the party's history. This marked the first of three times in American history where one party flipped both chambers of Congress and the Presidency in a single election, along with 1840 and 1952.

title: 1796 United States elections

text:
The 1796 United States elections elected the members of the 5th United States Congress. The election took place during the beginning stages of the First Party System, as the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party clashed over the states' rights, the financial policies of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, and the recently ratified Jay Treaty. The Federalists maintained control of the Senate, and won control of the House and the presidency.

In the first contested Presidential election and the first presidential election in which parties played a major role, Federalist Vice President John Adams narrowly defeated Democratic-Republican former Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. Adams won New England while Jefferson won the South, leaving the mid-Atlantic states to decide the election. As the election took place prior to the ratification of the 12th Amendment, Jefferson, who finished with the second most electoral votes, succeeded Adams as vice president. Federalist former Governor Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina finished with the third most electoral votes, while Democratic-Republican Senator Aaron Burr of New York finished in fourth place. This election marked the only time in American history that members of two different political parties were elected as president and vice president. Adams's election made him the first member of a political party to be elected president, as George Washington had remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his presidency.

In the House, Federalists won moderate gains, taking majority control of the chamber.

In the Senate, Federalists picked up one seat, maintaining a commanding majority in the chamber.

title: Seb Webber

text:
Sebastian "Seb" Webber is a British, Los Angeles-based, music industry executive. He is the co-founder of Godless Studios.  He co-founded CrowdSurge, a ticket management company, served as Creative Director for Jay Z's streaming platform TIDAL, and founded the electronic music label FMLY with Universal Music Group. In 2010, Webber was named as one of Billboard's "30 Under 30" and is a member of the American Association of Independent Music.

Early life
Born in Hertfordshire, England, Webber attended the John Henry Newman School and The Knights Templar School in Baldock, North Hertfordshire. At 17, Webber completed school early and moved to London to pursue a university degree and work in the music industry. Working as a DJ, he started putting on FONO nights (For One Night Only) around London, an event that combined a two-hour set from a live indie rock music band, followed by a two-hour set of house music played by Webber. During this time, Webber met and became friends with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe. Soon after, Webber became Lowe's opening act.

In 2004, he enrolled at the University of Westminsters' Commercial Music course, but shortly afterwards was offered an intern position in the mailroom of XL Recordings by owner Richard Russell. Webber decided to continue with his degree while working at XL Recordings graduating in 2007 with a BA (Hons).

Career
In 2005, Webber was promoted to Product Manager at XL Recordings by owner Richard Russell. Webber worked with acts including Adele, Basement Jaxx, M.I.A, Peaches, Radiohead and The White Stripes. More specifically, Webber did A&R for Adele's album 21, and M.I.A's Kala. Outside of XL, Webber did A&R for Leona Lewis' I Am and Steve Angello's Wild Youth. In 2009, he was promoted to XL Recordings Director of A&R, and moved to Los Angeles to open the label's West Coast office. In Los Angeles, Webber signed new acts, for which in 2010 Billboard magazine named him one of their "30 Under 30" music business stars. Webber left XL Recordings in 2011.

Webber, with business partner Matt Jones, launched CrowdSurge in 2006. CrowdSurge is a web-based app that cuts out the ticket agency in the selling of artist-controlled concert tickets. An immediate and continuing competitor to TicketMaster, early clients included Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney. In 2011, after CrowdSurge was expanded through funding from investors including Benjamin Bronfman, Webber sold his shares in the company to Leonard Blavatnik, the owner of Warner Music Group, at a valuation of $30 million.

In 2009, Webber started to independently manage dubstep producer and DJ Rusko, NASA and Sam Spiegel.

Following his 2011 exit from CrowdSurge, Webber sought to build a music company that could suit artists' needs to the fullest. He resultantly invested in and joined British Columbia based artist management company SQE Music, founded in 2010 by Nathan Beswick and Duncan MacRae. As general manager, Webber fulfilled SQE's business model: find ambitious artists, ask them what they need to realise their career goals, and be able to do anything that can help. Officially launched in April 2011, artists signed to the company included At the Drive-In, Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene, DJ Fresh, Rusko and N.A.S.A. In September 2012, Webber left SQE to join Red Light Management.

Webber founded, in 2013, the Toronto/Los Angeles based electronic music label FMLY.  Distributed through Universal Music Canada, the FMLY roster includes The Prodigy, Rusko, Ferry Corsten, New World Punx, Guiliano Rascan, Cyzon, and Plain Language.

In February 2014, Webber joined SponsorsOne's Advisory Team to help guide the company's tech acquisitions and talent partnerships.

In 2015, Webber became the Creative Director for Jay Z's streaming platform TIDAL, helping the company forge a path in the early days of the streaming era.

Webber completed his first project as executive producer for Italian DJ Giorgio Morodor's 2015 studio album Déjà Vu which features collaborations with Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Kelis, Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Foxes and Matthew Koma, among others. The album's second single "Right Here, Right Now" featuring Kylie Minogue topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs in April 2015 while the third single "Déjà Vu" featuring Sia reached number one, in the US, on the Billboard Dance Chart. For the single "Déjà Vu" featuring Sia, Webber also worked as executive producer for the music video (short) directed by Swedish actress Alexandra Dahlström.

title: Horne's Place Chapel

text:
Horne's Place Chapel, is a late mediaeval timber-framed house with private chapel in Appledore, Kent England.

It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building in 1952. The chapel is open to view, but the attached manor house, is a private dwelling.

History
In the reign of King John (during 1166 – 1216), 'Ralph de Horne' (of Kenardington), was one of the recognitores magnæ assisæ, or justices of the great assize.

Then in 1276, King Edward granted land containing the manor to Matthew Horne (Ralph's son). A chapel was soon built afterwards. The domestic chapel allowed the Horne family to attend services conveniently at home rather than obliging them to travel to the parish church, and receipt of the licence for worship was an indicator of the family's high status. The chapel was licensed for divine service in 1366 by Archbishop Simon Langham.

Matthew's descendant, William Horne, was one of the conservators of the peace in 1367.

In 1381, the property was entered during the Peasants' Revolt, and £10 worth of goods stolen from the farmhouse.

In 1392, Henry Horne (MP) inherited Horne's Place.

In 1406, Michael Horne (son of Matthew Horne) became a Sheriff of Kent. He is also thought to be buried in a tomb in the chapel.

Later, Robert Horne (Michael's son) also became a Sheriff of Kent in 1452. Soon after the Horne family left Horne's Place and moved to 'Little Horne' in Kenardington. The estate of Horne's Place was known as 'Great Horne'. Robert Horne, then died in 1461.

It was then given by Queen Mary I to Philip Chute (a yeoman of the guard in 1536).

It was then used as a barn in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Construction
The 8 metres by 4 metres (26 feet by 13 feet) chapel is built of Kentish ragstone and rubble with a tiled roof. Roof was re-placed in 1520. It also has a stone-flagged floor.

It has a double cinquefoil window and blocked 4 centre arch on the west side.
The south side has an ogee opening (moulded arch) with a window of 3 cinquefoil-headed lights. The east side has a traceried window with a triple cinquefoil symbol. The northside has a similar window.

The chapel was originally linked to the hall wing of the manor house by a doorway, which is now blocked, along its north wall.

The chapel also has barrel-vaulted undercroft and a roof from 1520 of 4 heavily moulded
arch braces rising from stone corbels. The corbels are decorated with Catherine wheels.

Nikolaus Pevsner has described the details of this ‘exquisite little building’ as being ‘of the utmost refinement, far above the level of the local parish churches’ in his Buildings of England.

title: Dymchurch Martello Tower

text:
Dymchurch Martello Tower is a Martello tower in Dymchurch, Kent England. It stands immediately behind the sea wall.

It has been designated by English Heritage as a scheduled monument and a Grade II listed building.

The towers, ranging along the Kent and East Sussex shoreline, were built in the early years of the nineteenth century as part of a coastal defence programme against a threatened French invasion under Napoleon. The 24th of 75 such towers, it was placed to protect the gates of marsh sluices with its counterpart Tower no 25 (which is now largely derelict).

Tower 23 was restored externally in the early 1970s and is currently a private residence. Tower 24 was then restored using Tower 23 as a guide. In 1969, it became the first Martello tower to be opened to the public and remains as a museum of the Martello Towers, owned by English Heritage.
It has a 24-pounder muzzle-loading cannon on the gun platform.

The Friends of Martello24 act as custodians of the tower on behalf of English Heritage and manage its openings to the public, both on a regular basis and bespoke visits. The tower is open every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday from 2 pm to 4 pm, Easter to October.

title: Stilicho's Pictish War

text:
Stilicho's Pictish War is a name given to a war between the forces of the Western Roman Empire led by Stilicho and the Picts in Britain around 398 AD. Little is known about the conflict. The only real source is the panegyric In Eutropium by Claudian which indicates that while Stilicho was dealing with the Gildonic revolt in Africa, Britain suffered from attacks by the Saxons, Picts and Scots, and ended with "the Saxon conquered, the Ocean calmed, the Pict broken, and Britain secure." Another poem by Claudian refers to a possible expedition to Britain by Stilicho in 396-398.

It has been surmised that the Picts attacked the northern frontier of Britain but were defeated. In 400 Stilicho seems to have ordered repairs to Hadrian's Wall.

title: 1792 United States elections

text:
The 1792 United States elections elected the members of the 3rd United States Congress. Congress was broadly divided between a Pro-Administration faction supporting the policies of George Washington's administration and an Anti-Administration faction opposed to those policies. Due to this, the Federalist Party (generally overlapping with the Pro-Administration faction) and the Democratic-Republican Party (generally overlapping with the Anti-Administration faction) were starting to emerge as the distinct political parties of the First Party System. In this election, the Pro-Administration faction maintained control of the Senate, but lost its majority in the House.

In the presidential election, incumbent President George Washington was re-elected without any major opposition. Washington had considered retirement, but was convinced to seek re-election for the purpose of national unity. Though Washington went unchallenged, Governor George Clinton of New York sought to unseat John Adams as vice president. However, Adams received the second most electoral votes, and so was re-elected to office. Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his presidency.

In the House, 37 seats were added following the 1790 census. The Anti-Administration faction picked up several seats, narrowly taking the majority from the Pro-Administration faction. However, Frederick Muhlenberg, who leaned closer to the Pro-Administration faction, was elected Speaker of the House.

In the Senate, the Anti-Administration faction picked up one seat, but the Pro-Administration faction maintained a small majority.

title: Palestine Final Fortress

text:
Palestine Final Fortress was the British 1942 defence plan for Mandatory Palestine at World War II against a possible German invasion from the north.

History
During World War II, Mandatory Palestine twice faced the danger of invasion by the German army and its allies. The first began when Nazi Germany conquered France in June 1940 and the rise of the pro-Nazi regime of Vichy France, which controlled Lebanon and Syria. This made the possibility of a German invasion from the north highly probable. That summer, the British armed forces started preparing a defence line against invasions from the north.

The following year, between June and July 1941, the British captured Lebanon and Syria from Vichy France. However, this had not removed the threat of a major German invasion from the north, as the British believed that the Red Army might not hold the line against Nazi Germany. Even though the defence line in the Soviet Union had been stabilized, the British made a strategic plan for the retreating troops out of Syria to be assembled in the mountainous region between Mount Carmel and the Jordan Rift Valley. This topography was believed to be effective against the Nazi German tank force (Panzerwaffe). This plan was referred to as Palestine Final Fortress (PFF) of "Defence of the Last Position Palestine". In early 1942, the British declared the Mount Carmel region a closed military area and began massive infrastructure work.

In 1942, the threat of a German invasion from the south increased with the Afrika Korps advance into Egypt. Yishuv leaders discussed plans to defend against genocide of the Jewish population by the German army and by local Nazi supporters, which was expected in the event of British retreat from Palestine. The Hagana's "Plan of the North" included use of Palestine Final Fortress structures. The Yishuv also called their plan "Masada on the Carmel" and "Haifa-Masada-Musa Dagh". Although the Yishuv had cause for worry during the 200 days of dread, no further actions were taken by the British nor by the Yishuv to prepare against possible invasion by the Axis powers. In late 1942, the threat of invasion from the south was lifted following the Allied victory in the Second Battle of El Alamein and the subsequent German retreat westwards across North Africa.

title: Ramdhanu

text:
Ramdhanu () is a 2014 Bengali family drama film directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. It was adapted from Suchitra Bhattacharya's short story, Ramdhanu Rawng. The film was produced by Windows and Jalan International Films and was presented by Atanu Raychaudhuri, Anirban Mitra. It released on 6 June 2014 and had performed well at the box office. The film has been cinematographed by Sirsha Ray and edited by Moloy Laha. The film was remade in Malayalam as Salt Mango Tree.

Background
The Indian Parliament passed ‘The Right to Education Act’ or RTE Act - on 4 August 2009. One of the issues addressed in that was of school interviews. An order was passed that for admission, there should be no interviews of parents or children to ensure smooth enrollment for all. But was this ruling applicable to private schools? As the act came into being, the private schools protested, claiming it violated their right to run independently without government interference. The act was revised and made non-applicable to unaided, private and boarding schools. And so the interview process continued in private schools, this time disguised behind the term ‘interaction sessions’.

Plot Synopsis
Mitali (played by Gargi Roychowdhury) is a worried mother. Her 5-year-old son,  Gogol (played by Akashneel Mitra), has once again failed to pass the admission test in a reputed school and the application gets rejected. This is the fourth time and Mitali gets desperate. She is determined to get her only son admitted into a reputed school. Laltu Dutta (played by Shiboprosad Mukherjee), her husband, owns a chemist's shop, and all his efforts centre around running his business successfully. He is completely attached to his family and tries to do his best to fulfil his wife's aspirations.

When one school after school starts rejecting Gogol, a despondent Mitali takes the advice of her friend and hires a teacher for Gogol's tuitions. Soon, Mitali gets disappointed by the young teacher's casual attitude and decides to teach Gogol herself. Mitali's desperation worries Laltu and he decides to go the extra mile to make his wife happy. He even approaches a tout and is willing to pay him a handsome amount if he can procure admission for his son. The tout claims that he can get his son admitted to any school for Rs 10 lakh. The sum is exorbitant. He does not know how to procure that amount. Should he terminate his fixed deposits? But that is his only savings! On the other hand, he cannot bear to see the disappointment on his wife's face each time their son gets rejected.

The family decides to go to Bolpur, in the district of Birbhum, West Bengal, where Mitali's parents reside. It is a special occasion as her brother is returning home from abroad after long, along with his foreigner wife. The holiday turns out to be interesting as Jennifer, the brother's wife, shows her keenness to adapt traditional Bengali customs, learn the language, and insist on speaking Bengali. She terms Mitali's insistence on getting her son admitted to an English-medium school and learning the English language as ‘linguistic imperialism'.

While Gogol spends a wonderful holiday with his grandparents and his new aunt, Mitali is anxiously waiting for the interview call for her son. When it finally arrives, they rush back home. The three of them attend the interview, but this time, Mitali feels it was Laltu who had ruined her son's chances by giving ludicrous answers to the questions put by the school's interview board. Mitali is furious. But she is not the one to give up hope so easily. She readies herself for the final bid. On the advice of another parent, Mitali decides to enroll herself along with her husband in a school that coaches parents to conduct themselves at interviews. Laltu is very reluctant at first but finally gives in to his wife's persuasions.

What follows is a poignant but hilarious journey as Laltu tries to learn the language, etiquette and build his confidence to face the toughest of situations. The teacher of the coaching school is a wonderful lady who handholds them into conducting themselves well at interviews and readies them to face difficulties and recognize the worth of life itself! Does Gogol finally get through to the interview? Will Mitali be able to fulfil her dreams or does she learn a greater lesson from all this and the importance of her child's well-being? Does Gogol's love for the song of birds, the flight of kites, the rustling of the leaves, the wide expanse of the blue sky, get crushed by the ambitions of his parent? Does Mitali finally look deep into her son's eye and realise what makes him truly happy? Does she finally follow her heart? Many such moments are captured in the story as it hurtles towards a dramatic climax.

title: Joe Austen

text:
Joseph Gerard "Joe" Austen is a British artist, writer, producer and director from St Andrews, Scotland. Since 1976, a collection of his paintings has been on display in The Gallery of Champions within the Rusacks Hotel, St Andrews, Scotland.

For the 150th The Open Championship in St. Andrews in 2010, six of golf's greatest champions were made Honorees of The Gallery of Champions when Austen painted their portraits. Those portraits are now a permanent part of the gallery. The honorees included Tony Jacklin, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Sandy Lyle and Roberto De Vicenzo. De Vicenzo attended the opening of the gallery with Jacklin and Lyle, and commented on the day, "Joe Austen - your paintings will get you in to Heaven."

In the Rusacks Hotel, Austen's painting collections are grouped into four separate categories; the Macdonald Collection, the Historical Collection, the Portraits of the Royal Captains and the most recently launched Tony Jacklin Ryder Cup Collection. The collections have been described as "portraits of golfing legends through the centuries", and the gallery was selected as the central location for the inaugural St Andrews Golf Festival in 2012 to showcase the strong links between St Andrews and golf.

Career

Golf portraits

Tony Jacklin and Austen collaborated in 2014 to create The Tony Jacklin Ryder Cup Collection; a new series of hand-painted oil portraits and limited edition prints of those portraits, which Austen has said will "commemorate The Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, Scotland in 2014"

Jacklin, a "golfing icon" according to the European Tour selected what he believed to be the 20 greatest players in the history of the Ryder Cup, and Austen painted their portraits. Limited edition prints of The Tony Jacklin Ryder Cup Collection have been available online since the Ryder Cup 2014.

In 2011, Austen's paintings were selected for the online launch of St Andrews Golf Art, a website which claims to offer "a unique selection of golf art from internationally-acclaimed contemporary artists, sculptors and illustrators"

In 2010, Austen undertook a similar venture to The Tony Jacklin Ryder Cup Collection, in collaboration with Rolex. To commemorate the 150th year of The Open Championship, Rolex commissioned Austen to paint a composite portrait of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, from which 250 Limited Edition Prints were produced. All of the prints were signed by Palmer, Player and Austen, and presented by Rolex as gifts to valued clients.

Austen's golf portraits are also exhibited in private and public collections throughout the world, including Palmer's Bay Hills Golf Club, and The Concession Golf Club in Florida, co-designed by Jacklin and Nicklaus. Within The Concession Golf Club, Austen's paintings of golfing champions and the spirit of the Ryder Cup, are displayed within the main hallways and are collectively titled The Concession Collection.

Children's television and book creations

The Magic House
Austen created, wrote and illustrated 24 books in the bestselling The Magic House series, which were published in 1985 by Richard Drew Publishing. He went on to create and develop The Magic House television series for Scottish Television. It ran for three seasons from 1994 to 1996 and Austen was involved in every aspect of its creation, acting as writer, illustrator, designer and on-screen storyteller and presenter.

Subsequently, The Magic House was developed into a puppet television series for the ITV Network. As writer, designer and associate producer of The Magic House television series, Austen wrote 55 scripts for three network series and designed the puppets, sets and cell-animated title sequences.

He then created The Magic Bank Club for TSB Bank, based on The Magic House, and aimed at promoting bank accounts for children.

Austen went on to create, write, illustrate and present Joe and Co, a Magic House spin-off, as a BBC television series. Following this, he was a writer, illustrator and co-presenter on the BBC Untied Shoelaces television series.

After The Magic House book series had been out of print for a number of years, a Facebook group was created by fans in June 2010, called "Bring back the Magic House books (Joe Austen)" in an effort to have them reprinted, highlighting the dedication of his readers. In July 2014, the Facebook page had gathered 261 fans.

Story Store
The Story Store is a concept for television and publishing developed by Austen. He went on to establish a new stop-frame model animation studio in central London in order to produce The Story Store television series for Carlton Television for the ITV Network in 1995. Austen developed the show and designed the puppets. He also directed the voice recordings of Alan Bennett, Rory Bremner and Stephen Fry. He went on to write and design four Story Store illustrated books.

Storyland Ltd.
Austen established Storyland Ltd in May 2001, a family entertainment company based in Dundee, with Richard Attenborough as company president.

In 2001, the company bought back ownership of more than 60 programmes and two dozen books created by Austen for various broadcasters and publishers. These properties include 13 episodes of The Story Store, previously owned and broadcast by Carlton, and 55 episodes of The Magic House, which was developed for Scottish Television. Austen said at the time that Storyland had paid a six-figure sum to bring these and other properties back into its ownership. They formed the core of a wide range of family entertainment that Storyland intended to market through television, satellite, cable, publishing and new media of the time, such as broadband.

During his time with Storyland, Austen produced a new Story Store Christmas Special for the ITV network in 2001, entitled Music & Moonlight, which was broadcast on New Year's Day and featured the impressionist Rory Bremner as the voice behind more than half-a-dozen characters. Storyland was subsequently publicly listed and became Storyland PLC, before being dissolved in March 2014.
