title: Pen gun

text:
A pen gun is a firearm that resembles an ink pen.  They generally are of small caliber (e.g., .22 LR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .38-caliber, etc.) and are single shot.  Early examples of pen guns were pinfired, but modern designs are rim or centerfire.  Some pen guns are not designed to fire regular cartridges, but rather blank cartridges, signal flares, or tear gas cartridges.

In the United States, pen guns that can fire bullet or shot cartridges and do not require a reconfiguration to fire (e.g., folding to the shape of a pistol) are federally regulated as an Any Other Weapon (Title II).  They require registration under the National Firearms Act and a tax in the amount of five dollars is levied.

According to the FBI, pen guns were widely used for self-defense in the 20th century.

text:
Stephen Bruce Dowton (born 1956) is the fifth Vice-Chancellor and President of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He is a paediatrician, researcher, and academic, and has served as a senior medical executive at universities, healthcare institutions, and consulting organisations.

Early life

Dowton was born in Ivanhoe in the far Far West region of New South Wales and raised in Dubbo. He moved to Sydney in 1975 to commence tertiary studies and was the first in his family to attend university.

Education

He graduated from the University of Sydney Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (with Honours) in 1980. He also holds a doctorate of medicine (MD) for his work in cell biology from the University of Sydney,  and completed postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School and the Children’s Hospital Medical Centre, Boston. As a laboratory scientist, his work focused on regulation of the expression of genes for an important class of blood proteins.

Career

He has published over 80 articles on a wide range of topics in peer-reviewed academic publications, and has held Visiting Professorial and External Examiner appointments at several universities including the University of Edinburgh, Columbia University, the University of Tromsø in Norway, Hong Kong University, as well as institutions in the People’s Republic of China.

Dowton has also held a variety of leadership roles at Harvard Medical International and subsequently Partners Harvard Medical International, most recently as its Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In these roles, he traveled to developing nations to guide the development of their medical education, strategy, and governance.

In 2001, the NSW Minister for Health, Craig Knowles, invited Dowton to establish a new ministerial council to oversee the reorganisation of graduate medical education across the state health system, the Medical Education and Training Council. Dowton also served as chair of the Committee of Deans of Australia in Medical Schools (CDAMS) from 2002 to 2004. During this time, the organisation consolidated and strengthened the funding base for the Rural Clinical Schools Initiative. As part of a multi-pronged initiative as chair of CDAMS, with other decanal colleagues, he oversaw the establishment and implementation of the Indigenous Health Project through a partnership with the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health in the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing implementation of the Indigenous Health Project. With this platform, a nationwide indigenous Health Curriculum Framework was developed and ratified.

Macquarie University

Macquarie University announced the appointment of Dowton as their fifth Vice-Chancellor in July 2012, and he assumed the role in September that year, leaving his post as clinical professor of paediatrics at the Harvard Medical School.

In June 2019, questions were raised about payments Dowton received for hosting university functions at his home. The hosting payments received by Dowton totaled $222,000 over four years (2014 to 2018). The house was bought with a loan drawn from the university, and interest payments in the same period totaled $129,000.

Philanthropy

Alongside his role as Vice-Chancellor, Dowton holds the following positions:

 Member of the Board of Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW, appointed for a two-year term commencing 1 January 2015.
 Chairman of the Board of Open Universities Australia.

He was a member of the Board of the Maggie Beer Foundation from 2014 until 2016.

title: 401 Squadron (Portugal)

text:
401 Squadron "Cientistas" () was an aerial reconnaissance, photography and maritime patrol squadron of the Portuguese Air Force disbanded in 2011. The squadron also conducted counter-narcotic operations, monitoring of marine pollution in the Portuguese exclusive economic zone, and natural resource surveying.

Roles and missions
The primary mission of 401 Squadron was aerial reconnaissance and photography. It had as its secondary missions the support of electronic warfare, maritime patrol, and search and rescue.

The squadron also performed medical evacuations in the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, and surveillance against narcotic trafficking, illegal fishing, and pollution. Additionally, it provided support to national agencies and institutions by conducting mineral and energy exploration surveys.

History
The origin of 401 Squadron dates back to the creation of the Transport and Liaison Squadron () in 1966, based at Air Base No. 1 (, BA1), which performed aerial photography tasks. That same year, the squadron used a Wild RC8 vertical metric camera to perform the first aerial survey in Portugal.

In 1975 the squadron started operating the C-212-100 fitted with RC10 cameras and geophysical survey equipment.

In 1979 the squadron's designation and name were changed to Reconnaissance Squadron () and later in 1984 the squadron was assigned the maritime patrol mission.

In 1991 the squadron was added to the fishing activity control, inspection and surveillance integrated system's (, SIFICAP) command and in 1995 started operational flights with the C-212-300 equipped for maritime patrol and fisheries protection.

Its aircraft's equipment was upgraded in 1993, with the acquisition of Leica Geosystems RC30 cameras and GPS equipment.

The squadron was re-designated as 401 Squadron in 1995, for the last time, and was assigned the search and rescue mission.

In 2008 the squadron was assigned all the missions of 502 Squadron, which was transitioning from the CASA C-212 to the then entering service EADS CASA C-295 aircraft, and in May 2009, was relocated from BA1 to Air Base No. 6 ().

On December 6, 2011, a ceremony took place at BA6 signaling the disbandment of the squadron. 502 Squadron was then assigned 401 Sqn.'s original aerial reconnaissance, maritime patrol, and fishery protection missions.

title: Vitamin Enhanced

text:
Vitamin Enhanced is a 6-disc box set by English psychedelic rock band Ozric Tentacles. It compiles the band's six first recordings, originally released in the 1980s.

The first six albums were originally released on cassette, handmade by the band, and only sold at festivals and concerts. In 1993, the albums were transferred to CD, and the compiling box set was first released in November 1993 through the band's independent record label, Dovetail Records. The original pressing was limited to 5,000 copies. Not much later, the box set was withdrawn due to complaints from food company Kellogg’s, since they alleged the design of the box was too similar to their Corn Flakes one. It remains unknown how many box sets were sold before the withdrawal, but since then, the original 1994 box set has become a rare collectors' object .

All six albums were re-released as independent CD copies in 2000 by Snapper Music, going quickly out of print. In 2013, to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, the original six albums were remastered for the reissue of the Vitamin Enhanced box set, released through Snapper Music in January 2014. In 2021, the six albums were once again remastered and released as a deluxe box set with a 48-page book.

title: Cristobal Tapia de Veer

text:
Juan Cristóbal Tapia de Veer is a Chilean-born Canadian film and television score composer, arranger, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He is best known for his score of the British TV series Utopia, for which he won a Royal Television Society award in the best original score category in 2013, and Channel 4's National Treasure, which earned him a BAFTA in 2017. He has received awards from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada in 2013 and 2017.

Early life
Tapia de Veer was born during the 1973 military coup d'état in Chile. His parents fled to Paris, France. After the coup, his father remained in France, and his mother took him back to Chile. Life under Pinochet's dictatorship still proved difficult, so they became political refugees in Quebec, Canada.

Career
Tapia de Veer earned a master's degree in classical music (specializing in percussion) from the Conservatoire de musique du Québec. In 2001 he signed to Warner Music with his pop band One Ton, putting a hold on his classical career. The trio won the Canadian Dance Music Award (SOCAN) in 2003 with the electro-dance single "Supersex World". Tapia de Veer produced the album.

In 2011, his music for the Victorian four-part drama The Crimson Petal and the White (directed by Marc Munden, BBC2) was well received by critics. Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe, said: "The soundtrack ranges from gnawing electronic hums to choral ecstasy. It's all brilliantly, effectively, appropriately jarring".

He went on to compose the music for the Channel 4 conspiracy thriller Utopia (created by Dennis Kelly) for which he won a Royal Television Society Craft & Design Award for "best original music" in November 2013. The judges stated his "work blurred the lines between sound design and score, creating a soundtrack that the jury said felt like it was being played inside your head". Up again for an RTS Award in 2014, the music for the second series won the Music & Sound Award in 2015 in the Best Original TV Score category. His work on Utopia was nominated for Televisual Magazine's Bulldog Award for best music and subsequently released on yellow and green vinyl.

In early 2014, Tapia de Veer completed the music for the TV-show Série noire, which aired on ICI-Radio-Canada Télé. The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awarded him with two Prix Gémeaux for best Original Music and Best Musical Theme the same year and again in 2016 for the second season.

He also finished the works on BBC's Jamaica Inn, directed by Phillipa Lowthorpe. Tapia de Veer then wrote the music for the first season of AMC's / Channel 4's co-production Humans.

In 2016, he scored his first feature film, The Girl with All the Gifts, which opened the Locarno Film Festival. His music won in the Best Original Music category at the Festival international du film fantastique de Gérardmer, France, in 2017. Paramount Pictures used his opening theme, GIFTED, for the final trailer of the 2019 remake of Pet Sematary and Focus Home Interactive for their videogame Call of Cthulhu.

Tapia de Veer was unable to score the following season of Humans, because he teamed up with Marc Munden again, to work on National Treasure, Channel 4's four-part drama inspired by Operation Yewtree, the police investigation into the sexual abuse perpetrated by Jimmy Savile and allegations against other media personalities. The series won a BAFTA and a FIPA D'OR at the Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels in Biarritz, France, for Tapia de Veer's original score.

BBC America's series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency found a dedicated fanbase in 2016, which is still waiting for a soundtrack album to be released. Due to Tapia de Veer's heavily charged schedule, he was not able to work on the second season.

In the same year Amazon Prime offered Tapia de Veer to work on two episodes of the anthology series Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. He worked on HUMAN IS, starring Bryan Cranston as well as CRAZY DIAMOND, starring Steve Buscemi, for which he got a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award the following year.

He also scored the Season 4 episode of Netflix's series Black Mirror entitled "Black Museum".

SOCAN awarded him with the SOCAN International Achievement Award in fall 2017, marking the first time that a composer for film and television has been awarded the prize.

In 2018, the Canneseries festival invited Tapia de Veer to be part of the jury for its first season, alongside Michael Kenneth Williams, German actress Paula Beer, Melisa Sozen, French screenwriter and director Audrey Fouché, and Harlan Coben.

He then scored his second feature film, Advantages of Travelling by Train, a 2019 adaptation of Antonio Orejudo's novel of the same name, directed by Aritz Moreno and produced by Morena Films in Spain, starring Luis Tosar, Pilar Castro, and Javier Botet. The film competed in major film festivals such as Sitges, Tokyo, and Brussels Film Festival (BRFF), and was awarded "Best Comedy" at the Goya Awards in 2020. Tapia de Veer's music for the film earned him a nomination at Spain's Premios Feroz.

Releases in 2020 include the series Hunters for Amazon Prime and the drama The Third Day for HBO/ SKY.

In 2021, he scored the HBO limited series The White Lotus, for which he won two Primetime Emmy Awards (one for the main title music, and the other for his work scoring the series) and a Society of Composers & Lyricists Award. He also received his 2nd BAFTA nomination for his music to The Third Day.

The following year, he scored the supernatural horror film Smile, directed by Parker Finn. He also scored the second season of The White Lotus in collaboration with Kim Neundorf.

title: Haskell Playhouse

text:
The Haskell Playhouse is a children's playhouse located in Haskell Park in Alton, Illinois. Dr. William Abraham Haskell, a physician and one of the wealthiest residents of Alton, commissioned the playhouse as a present for his daughter Lucy's fifth birthday in 1885. Architect Lucas Pfeiffenberger designed the playhouse in the Queen Anne style. The house's design features a raised front porch with a projecting entrance, diagonal stickwork on the porch and first floor, and fishscale shingles on the second-story gable ends. An ornamental iron fence with a small spire tops the house's hipped roof. Lucy Haskell died of diphtheria four years after her playhouse was built, and by 1916 her mother Florence (Hayner) Haskell was the only surviving Haskell still living in Alton. Florence demolished the family's home that year but kept the playhouse as a memorial to her daughter; she donated the land to the city to serve as a memorial park.

The playhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 30, 1974.

The Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of the Immaculate Conception are members of a Roman Catholic religious institute of consecrated women, which was founded in Portugal in 1871. They follow the Rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. and, as the term “hospitaller” indicates, focus their ministries on a spirit of medical care. Their charism emphasizes hospitality and service under the model of the Good Samaritan. In this congregation, the postnominal initials used after each sister's name is "F.H.I.C."

The sisters’ mission, as expressed by their foundress, Maria Clara, is "to do good where good needs to be done".  These words have paved the way for a large variety of apostolates including education, catechesis, healthcare, pastoral work, assisting the elderly, missionary work, running orphanages, assisting immigrants, and assisting the homeless.  The local needs where each convent is located oftentimes determine the apostolates of the sisters who live there, although generally each sister is also able to choose her preferred field of ministry to carry out.  Ordinarily the habits that the sisters wear are grey, but those sisters working in the healthcare field don white habits while they are working.  The daily prayer life of the sisters in this order consists of Mass, an hour of Eucharistic adoration, Liturgy of the Hours, and the rosary.

History
On June 15, 1843 Libânia do Carmo Galvão Mexia de Moura Telles de Albuquerque was born in Amadora, Portugal. This third child of seven in a noble and devout Christian family had a very happy childhood until 1856 and 1857 when she suddenly lost her parents to a cholera and yellow fever epidemic. At age 14 she entering a boarding school for orphaned nobility until the Daughters of Charity who taught her were expelled from Portugal in 1882 due to the anticlerical laws then passed.

For five years Telles de Albuquerque then lived in the palace of the Marquis of Valada. In 1869 at the age of 26, she entered religious life as a Capuchin nun, receiving the name "Sister Maria Clara of the Infant Jesus".  She soon desired to form a new community that would serve the people of Portugal who were wounded in a time of political unrest.  Supported by the priest Raimundo dos Anjos Beirão, she traveled to Calais, France, for her novitiate formation under the Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of that city, preparing to found a new community after her novitiate has been completed.  After professing her vows in France on April 14, 1871, she founded the first house of her new community, called the "Congregation of the Hospitaller Sisters of the Poor for the Love of God", in Lisbon on May 3, 1871.  Only five years later, on March 27, 1876, the congregation was approved by Pope Pius IX.

Despite many trials, the new religious institute continued to grow rapidly with more and more convents being established. The large number of sick, poor, and orphaned people found relief in the houses which the Sisters opened to shelter and care for them. In 1886 the sisters expanded their service to the Portuguese colony of Goa, now part of India.

On December 1, 1899, Telles de Albuquerque died.  Her remains are in the crypt of the chapel of the general motherhouse in Lisbon, where many people still come to pray and ask her intercession.  She was beatified on May 21, 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI, and her canonization process continues.

Legacy
This international congregation is now represented in fifteen countries.

United States
In the United States, the sisters are located only in the state of California, residing in the Dioceses of San Jose, Fresno, and Monterey.  The Hospitaller Sisters first came to the United States in 1960 in order to aid Portuguese immigrants.  These sisters ran and taught in schools, but their education and catechesis work has come to consist of teaching Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Faith Formation, or Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.  The majority of the California sisters now are involved in healthcare.  In Los Banos, where eleven sisters now live, the sisters run a non-profit house of residential care and skilled nursing for the elderly.  This facility, called New Bethany, after the village of Bethany that Jesus stayed in, was opened in 1999.  The sisters attend to their patients' physical needs, and to their spiritual needs through frequent public prayer and liturgy.  The sisters in the three California houses also visit the sick and bring them Holy Communion.  The United States province is the smallest of the fifteen CONFHIC provinces worldwide, but has had a renewed interest in their lifestyle amongst young women who are discerning a religious vocation.  The convent in San Jose is designated as the house of formation for American vocations.

Bangs in 1837 to serve as the town's cemetery, the older cemeteries having been neglected, overpopulated, or trampled by livestock. David Waldo donated rolling, treed land he purchased for $1400 in September 1837. It was located on the road leading to Holden from Worcester, which was previously owned by Judge Timothy Paine. The state legislature passed the bill and signed by Governor Edward Everett to incorporate the "Proprietors of Rural Cemetery in Worcester". A portion of the land was set aside for a garden and the design included shrubs, trees and "other rural ornaments".

A key goal in the founding of the rural cemetery was to create an ongoing memorial to the people who had passed in the trend established by "America's first garden cemetery" or "rural cemetery", Mount Auburn Cemetery which was founded in Massachusetts in 1831 with classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain.

By the 1860s rural cemeteries could be found on the outskirts of cities and smaller towns across the country.

It was originally situated on 24 acres, and is now 40 acres in area.

title: Cowley Academy

text:
Cowley Academy (formally The Thomas Cowley High School) is a mixed secondary school with Academy status, in Donington, Lincolnshire, England. As of 1 September 2022 it is part of the academy trust known as SLAT (South Lincolnshire Academy Trust)

History
Landowner Thomas Cowley by deed in 1701, and by will in 1711 and 1718, bequeathed his estate to endow an almshouse, and a charity school to teach twenty poor children to read English and write. A pupil of the Cowley's charity school was Matthew Flinders, who at age 12 then attended Horbling Grammar School where his father expected him to learn Latin. The free school established by Thomas Cowley evolved into a grammar school, with the Cowley charity providing significant funding. By 1858 the school, which was governed by a scheme approved by the Master of the Rolls, John Romilly, also provided for an upper girls' school, an elementary boys' and girls' school, and an infants school. The grammar school held 80 pupils, with an average attendance of 40. At the time a new scheme was proposed to develop the Girls' department with a yearly endowment of £25 to provide minor scholarships and accommodation for resident pupils, with the inclusion of teaching of the "art of cookery." The Grammar and Girls' Upper School were not exclusive to Donington, but were open to pupils from the whole county, with fees being £4 yearly for boys, and £3 for girls. The school covered 5 acres and included a residence for the masters and mistresses, a house for the headmaster, a recreation ground, cricket field, gymnasium, and playgrounds.

In 1871 the Grammar school's football team entered the first ever edition of the FA Cup, but withdrew and did not complete a game.

Grammar school status was held until 1949. A secondary modern school was then established in its place using the Thomas Cowley name, which in 1995 became a comprehensive secondary school. In September 2006 the comprehensive school was designated as specialist Technology College, and in September 2012 it converted to Academy status.

Jacob P. Nathanson (February 21, 1901 – March 2, 1986) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life
He was born on February 21, 1901, in the Russian Empire. He was admitted to the bar in 1926.

Nathanson was a member of the New York State Assembly (Kings Co., 14th D.) in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933. In December 1930, the Brooklyn Bar Association accused Nathanson of professional misconduct while handling a bail bond for a client. He was suspended from the practice of law in 1931, and ordered to return the $500 bail money to the client. In September 1933, Nathanson was defeated by Aaron F. Goldstein when seeking renomination in the Democratic primary election.

On November 21, 1938, Nathanson pleaded guilty to subornation of perjury in another case of a fraudulent bail bond. On April 8, 1939, he was disbarred by the Appellate Division.

He died on March 2, 1986, in Palm Beach County, Florida.

title: Rees matrix semigroup

text:
In mathematics, the Rees matrix semigroups are a special class of semigroups introduced by David Rees in 1940. They are of fundamental importance in semigroup theory because they are used to classify certain classes of simple semigroups.

Definition

Let S be a semigroup, I and Λ non-empty sets and P a matrix indexed by I and Λ with entries pi,λ taken from S.
Then the Rees matrix semigroup M(S; I, Λ; P) is the set I×S×Λ together with the multiplication

(i, s, λ)(j, t, μ) = (i, spλ,j t, μ).

Rees matrix semigroups are an important technique for building new semigroups out of old ones.

Rees' theorem

In his 1940 paper Rees proved the following theorem characterising completely simple semigroups:

That is, every completely simple semigroup is isomorphic to a semigroup of the form M(G; I, Λ; P) for some group G. Moreover, Rees proved that if G is a group and G0 is the semigroup obtained from G by attaching a  zero element, then M(G0; I, Λ; P) is a regular semigroup if and only if every row and column of the matrix P contains an element that is not 0. If such an M(G0; I, Λ; P) is regular, then it is also completely 0-simple.

title: Julius Lange (painter)

text:
Julius Lange (17 August 1817, Darmstadt – 25 June 1878, Munich) was a German landscape painter.

Life and Work
Lange had three elder brothers, the scholar Georg Lange (1804–1843), the architect and painter Ludwig Lange, the publisher and bookseller Gustav Georg Lange (1812–1873), who all together edited since 1832 the series of Originalansichten der vornehmsten Städte in Deutschland, ihrer wichtigsten Dome, Kirchen und sonstigen Baudenkmäler alter und neuer Zeit, to which he himself was contributing since 1836.
In 1834, inspired by his older brother, the architect Ludwig Lange, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts Munich as a historical painter. After only a short time, however, from 1836 to 1839, he switched to the Düsseldorf Art Academy, becoming a landscape painter as student of Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, whose support enabled him to establish himself in Munich since 1840.
Once there, his financial success was insured by a number of sizable commissions and stays abroad in Milan and Venice: the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia ordered a series of sketches to be used in their landscape painting classes and the Brera Academy in Milan requested two large canvases. While there, he sought out contacts at the Court and served as Art Instructor to the Archduchess Charlotte of Belgium until 1858. In 1850 he married Emilie Henriette Bettinger, they had one daughter, Elisabeth.

At that time, family affairs forced him to return to Munich and, once again, he made contacts with royalty. Since 1868, he held the position of a court painter in Munich, and painted many works for both King Maximilian II and his son King Ludwig II as well as interior design studies for the royal castles at Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof.

As his older brother Ludwig Lange, he is buried on the Old South Cemetery (Alter Südfriedhof) in Munich.

title: La Mitrailleuse

text:
La Mitrailleuse is a painting by British Futurist artist C. R. W. Nevinson, made in 1915 while he was on honeymoon leave from service as an ambulance driver with the RAMC on the Western Front in the First World War.  In an article in The Burlington Magazine in 1916, artist Walter Sickert called the work "the most authoritative and concentrated utterance on the war in the history of painting".

Mitrailleuse is the French word for machine gun, and originated from the mid-19th century French volley gun, the mitrailleuse.  The painting shows three soldiers in the trenches wearing metal Adrian helmets, one firing a machine gun.  A fourth soldier lies dead beside them.  Around them are wooden beams and barbed wire.  The subjects are abstracted into angular geometric blocks of colour, becoming dehumanised components in a machine of death.  Nevinson later wrote: "To me the soldier going to be dominated by the machine ... I was the first man to express this feeling on canvas."

The painting measures . It was exhibited at the Grafton Galleries and Leicester Galleries in 1916, and donated to the Tate Gallery by the Contemporary Art Society in 1917. It is currently exhibited at the Tate Britain.

title: French brig Griffon (1806)

text:
The French brig Griffon, was a Pallinure-class brig launched in 1806. After HMS Bacchante captured Griffon in 1808, the Royal Navy took her into service. Griffon participated in one action that resulted in her crew being awarded the Naval General Service Medal. Two of her officers were subject to notable courts martial, one for murder and one for smuggling, with the murderer being hanged and the smuggler dismissed the Navy. The Navy sold Griffon in 1819 to Hills & Co., who proceeded to use her as a London-based whaler. She sailed to the South Seas fishery under some under different masters. Hill & Co. then sold her to Wilson & Co. who employed her on one last whaling voyage that ended in 1850.

French career
From 17 March to 4 November 1806, Griffon, under the command of lieutenant de vaisseau Jacques Gautier, was at Rochefort and the Bay of Aiguillon. Then she served in the roads of the Ile d'Aix between March and August 1807. Finally, in early 1808 she carried troops from Rochefort to Martinique.

On the way Griffon encountered one or more British frigates. The frigate may have been , and according to the same report, Griffon was in company with the French brigs Palinure and Pilade. On 17 March Griffon took refuge at Marin, Martinique. Palinure and Pilade sailed on to the roads at Trinité.

On 27 March 1808 the boats of , ,  and  attempted to cut out Griffon from Marin. They succeeded in capturing a battery but Griffons fire drove them back empty handed, and with heavy casualties. Later, Griffon  continued on to Fort-de-France.

Capture

On 11 May 1808 Bacchante captured Griffon off Cape Antonio. Bacchante pursued Griffon for almost seven hours, and fought her for a half an hour. Griffon only struck when she found herself crowded some 100 metres from the breakers with Bacchante only some 200 meters from her. Griffon was still under Gautier's command. In the engagement Griffon had five men wounded, while Bacchante suffered no casualties.

Griffon, of 16 guns and 120 men, had sailed from Rochefort to Martinique, and was returning to France via Pensacola. Bacchante sent her into Jamaica.

Royal Navy career
The Navy commissioned Griffon at Jamaica under Lieutenant Henry Spark Jones. Lieutenant Allen, or Lieutenant T.P.J. Parry, replaced him in December 1808.

Griffon was among the vessels that carried out the blockade of the city of Santo Domingo that accompanied the siege, and was present on 6 July 1809 at its surrender. Griffons captain at Santo Domingo was Lieutenant J. Gore (acting).

Griffon arrived at Sheerness on 10 October 1809. She then underwent fitting at Chatham between February 1810 and December 1811. Commander John Tannock recommissioned her in November 1811, but handed over command to Commander George Trollope in February 1812.

On 27 March, near Dieppe, Griffon and  intercepted a 13-strong flotilla heading there from Boulogne-sur-Mer. The two British vessels engaged them closely, capturing three brigs (praams Nos. 95, 246, and 314), and driving two more onto the shore. Each French brig was armed with three 24-pounder guns and an 8" howitzer. The British casualties amounted to one officer and four men wounded. The British sent their prizes into Plymouth.

In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasps "Griffon 27 March 1812" and "Rosario 27 March 1812" to the five  surviving claimants from Griffon and the seven from Rosario.

Lieutenant Richard Steward Gamage joined Griffon in July as her first lieutenant. On 10 September the Milford, Mann, master, put into Ramsgate. She had been sailing from Chepstow to Deptford when she ran foul of Griffin and lost her foremast and suffered other damage.

On 20 October Griffon was in the Downs and Gamage was in command, Trollope having gone ashore. Gamage was a mild man who, in a sudden and uncharacteristic fit of rage, stabbed an insubordinate sergeant of Marines to death with a sword thrust. A court martial on 27 October found Gamage guilty of murder and sentenced him to hang. Appeals for clemency, including from the crew, were rejected and Gamage was hanged on 23 November from Griffons yardarm. As was customary, all vessels in the Downs sent two boats alongside Griffon to witness the execution; the men who remained on the vessels were required to watch from the decks of their vessels.

That December a report appeared in the press that Griffons crew had mutinied and sailed her to Boulogne. The petty officers, seamen, and marines of the crew wrote a letter to Trollope, subsequently published, affirming their satisfaction with him and their other officers.

In June 1814 Commander George Hewson replaced Trollope, who had been promoted to post captain on 7 June.

Post-war
Commander James A. Murray assumed command in May 1816.

On 20 September Lieutenant William Elliot Wright was appointed acting commander  at Saint Helena. On Griffons return to Britain Wright's appointment was confirmed on 20 August 1817. However, Wright then underwent a court martial for having smuggled 53 yards of crepe and other contraband while Griffon was at Portsmouth. The court ordered Wright dismissed the service. However, he was reinstated in 1819 without loss of rank.

In March 1819, the Commissioners of the Navy put Griffon up for sale at Deptford. They sold her to Hills & Co. for £1,700 on 11 March 1819.

Whaler
Lloyd's Register (LR) for 1819 showed a Griffon, French-built sloop, 9 [sic] years old, and 345 tons (bm), with owner Hills & Co.; later, the entry gave her burthen as 349 tons. This vessel continued in commercial service for Hills & Co. for some 27 years. The last year with an entry for this vessel was 1846, and that entry was without a trade route. A database on whaling shows that Griffin was a whaler and that she returned from her last voyage in 1850.

title: Prohibition of 1678

text:
The Prohibition of 1678 (29 & 30 Cha. 2. c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England. Its full title was "An Act for raising Money by a Poll and otherwise, to enable His Majesty to enter into an actual War against the French King, and for prohibiting several French Commodities".

The Whig MP William Harbord in a speech claimed that "the French abstract one million yearly from us in trade" and that while this went on the French would govern English counsels. The solution was to "make a law to prohibit French trade: you need no wine and few of his commodities; and France will grow poor, and we shall grow rich". Therefore, a Bill was introduced by another Whig MP William Sacheverell embodying these protectionist proposals. The beginning of the Act read:

And forasmuch as it hath beene by long Experience found that the Importing of French Wines Brandy Linnen Silke Salt and Paper and other Commodities of the Growth Product or Manufacture of the Territories and Dominions of the French King, hath much exhausted the Treasure of this Nation, lessened the Value of the Native Commodities and Manufactures thereof and caused great detriment to this Kingdome in generall Bee it further enacted by the Authoritie aforesaid That from and after the Twentyeth of March One thousand six hundred seaventy seaven Noe French Wine Vinegar Brandy Linnen Cloath Silks Salt. Paper or any Manufactures made of or mixed with Silke Threade Woole Haire Gold or Silver or Leather being of the Growth Product or Manufacture of any the Dominions or Territories of the French King shall dureing the terme of three yeares to be accounted from the said Twentyeth day of March or before the end of the first Session of Parlyament next after the expiration of the said Three yeares be brought in by Land or shall be imported in any Shipp or Shipps Vessell or Vessells [whatsoever] into any Port Heaven Creeke or other place [whatsoever] of the Kingdome of England Dominion of Wales or Towne of Berwicke upon Tweede or Isles of Jersey Guernsey Alderny Sarke or Isle of Man from any [Place or Port] whatever either mixt or unmixt with any Commodity of the Growth or Product of any other Nation Place or Country whatsoever.

In his Speech from the Throne opening the parliamentary session of 1679, King Charles II lamented "the loss I sustain by the prohibition of French Wines and Brandy, which turns only to my prejudice, and to the great advantage of the French".

In the opinion of the economic historian William Ashley, the Act was the "real starting-point in the history of Whig policy in the matter of trade". It was regarded by writers in the eighteenth century as a turning point in the economic history of England but by the nineteenth century had been forgotten.

The Act was intended to expire in three years' time but as Parliament was not sitting it remained on the statute book. Upon the accession of James II a new Parliament was elected that was strongly Tory and therefore the Act was repealed by the Importation Act 1685 (1 Ja. 2. c. 6). However the Whigs criticised its repeal, with one Whig writer lamenting that "an inundation of French commodities to the value of above four millions sterling, within the compass of less than three years, whereby all the evils formerly complained of were renewed, insomuch that the nation would have bee soon beggared, had it not been for the happy revolution in the year 1688, when all commerce with France was effectually barred" by the Trade with France Act 1688.

title: Joël Dicker

text:
Joël Dicker (born 16 June 1985) is a Swiss novelist.

Early life
Dicker attended College Madame the Staël in Geneva. At the age of 19, he enrolled at the Cours Florent in Paris. After one year, he returned to Switzerland to attend law school, where he received his Master of Laws from the University of Geneva in 2010.

Career
In 2010, after winning the Prix des écrivains genevois (Geneva Writers’ Prize), a prize for unpublished manuscripts, Parisian editor Bernard de Fallois acquired Dicker's debut novel Les derniers jours de nos pères (The Final Days of Our Fathers). The book was  published the same year.

In September 2012, de Fallois published Dicker's La Vérité sur l’Affaire Harry Quebert (The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair). The book was translated into 32 languages and won several prizes, e.g. the Grand Prix du Roman de L'Académie Française and the prix Goncourt des lycéens in 2012.

Dicker's third novel, Le Livre des Baltimore, was released on 26 September 2015.

Dicker's fourth novel, La disparition de Stephanie Mailer, was released in March 2018.

In March 2021, he announced via a video on Twitter that he was leaving the Fallois publishing house on January 1, 2022, to create his own publishing house. The small Fallois publishing house ceased its activity following this departure, in accordance with the wishes of its founder, who had died three years earlier. In October 2021, he launched Éditions Rosie & Wolfe, named after a woman, Rosina, who introduced him to the pleasure of reading and after his grandfather, who gave him a taste for writing.

title: ANGLE (software)

text:
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is an open source, cross-platform graphics engine abstraction layer developed by Google. ANGLE translates OpenGL ES 2/3 calls to DirectX 9, 11, OpenGL or Vulkan API calls.  It's a portable version of OpenGL but with limitations of OpenGL ES standard.

The API is mainly designed to bring up a high-performance OpenGL compatibility to MS Windows and to web browsers such as Chromium by translating OpenGL calls to Direct3D, which has much better driver support on Windows systems. On Windows, there are two backend renderers for ANGLE: the oldest one uses Direct3D 9.0c, while the newer one uses Direct3D 11.

ANGLE is currently used by Google Chrome (it's embedded into the Blink browser engine), Firefox, Edge, WebKit, and the Qt Framework. The engine is also used by Windows 10 for compatibility with apps ported from Android. Throughout 2019, the Apple team contributed a Metal API backend for the ANGLE so Apple devices could run on their native graphics APIs.

ANGLE is distributed under a BSD-license.

History
The project started as a way for Google to bring full hardware acceleration for WebGL to Windows without relying on OpenGL graphics drivers. Google initially released the program under the BSD license.

The current production version (2.1.x) implements OpenGL ES 2.0, 3.0,
3.1 and EGL 1.5, claiming to pass the conformance tests for both. Work was started on then future OpenGL ES 3.0 version, for the newer Direct3D 11 backend.

The capability to use ANGLE in a Windows Store app was added in 2014. Microsoft contributed support for lower feature levels to the project. Supporting CoreWindow and SwapChainPanel in ANGLE's EGL allows applications to run on Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and later.

Level of OpenGL ES support via backing renderers

Software utilizing ANGLE
ANGLE is currently used in a number of programs and software.
 Chromium and Google Chrome.  Chrome uses ANGLE not only for WebGL, but also for its implementation of the 2D HTML5 canvas and for the graphics layer of the Google Native Client (which is OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible).
 Safari web browser uses ANGLE as basis for its WebGL implementation.
 Firefox uses ANGLE as the default WebGL backend on Windows.
 Qt 5 uses ANGLE as the default renderer for its OpenGL ES 2.0 API wrapper and other Qt elements which use it on Windows.
 Godot uses ANGLE as an option for compatibility renderer for Windows and MacOS platforms starting with Godot 4.2
 Candy Crush Saga uses ANGLE as the default renderer in its Windows Store version of the application.
 Cocos2d uses ANGLE as its rendering engine for applications published to the Windows Store.
 ANGLE for Windows Store provides Windows developers precompiled ANGLE binaries via a NuGet package.
 Stellarium provides two versions for Windows: the default version uses OpenGL, the alternative version uses ANGLE as the renderer.
 Shovel Knight uses ANGLE as rendering engine, as seen in final credits.
 RuneScape NXT client uses ANGLE to provide a DirectX 9 compatibility mode for older graphics cards.
 Krita started using ANGLE as the rendering engine on Windows starting on version 3.3.0.
 Microsoft Edge has ANGLE as a rendering option in the "Standards Preview" page in Windows Insider build 17025.
 Grand Theft Auto V included ANGLE in the installation, normally at Systemdrive.
 OpenRA uses ANGLE for rendering on Windows
 SolveSpace uses ANGLE on Windows.
 GameMaker: Studio uses ANGLE at compile-time to convert GLSL ES shaders to HLSL9 for the old Windows 32-bit export module.
