title: Canadian Historical Dinner Service

text:
The Canadian Historical Dinner Service, originally called the Cabot Commemorative State Dinner Service, is 204-piece eight-course dinner service with 24 place settings of hand-painted porcelain. It was created in 1896–97 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first visit to Canada by a European, John Cabot. The illustrations all have Canadian subjects, and no two pieces are the same.

Background

In 1896 the Woman's Art Association of Canada (WAAC) decided to commission a state dinner service to be painted on china by members of the association.
The WAAC formed a Ceramic Committee, which pulled together photographs and drawings of old forts, battlefields and other historical scenes.
The committee also assembled reproductions of Canadian game, fish, shells, ferns and flowers.
A competition of Canadian ceramic artists was held, and the work was divided among them "according to their individual proficiency in the painting of various subjects."
The artists were to represent each province of Canada.
In fact the chosen artists were from Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
Eight of the artists were from Toronto.

Mary Ella Dignam, first president of the Women's Art Association of Canada, was the driving force behind production of the dinner service.
Dignam supervised the work of Alice Egan and other Ontario and Quebec artists.
These included Lily Osman Adams (1865–1945) and Phoebe Amelia Watson (1858–1947).
The dinner service for eight courses with 24 place settings was to commemorate the 400th anniversary in 1897 of John Cabot's discovery of Canada.
Sixteen Canadian women artists were chosen to paint the 204 china blanks with Canadian historical scenes and birds, ferns, fish, flowers and fruits.
They were given details of the plates or cups and saucers they were to paint, and worked independently.

The WAAC arranged to obtain the china blanks. According to the Secretary of the WAAC, E .J . Thompson, "our object was to get nothing but the best, for we want our State Set to be as near perfect as possible . . . . Sir Henry Doulton has taken quite an interest in our State Set and has given us the only plain china with the red factory mark that has ever left the factory to be decorated, and has sent us their best china and at the lowest price ."
Mary E. Dignam wrote to Alice Egan that the blanks would cost $6.60 a dozen to the artist. "Your best work is expected - not less than $60.00 will be asked per dozen in disposing of the set, proceeds to go to the artist, less 10%. Details of border of gold edge and W.A.A. stamp will be sent you, when you are ready for them. The pieces are be finished by May 18th [1897]."
The dinner service was not assembled as whole, inspected and approved until 7 July 1897.

Plates

All of the plates are painted on circular bone china blanks from Doulton & Co. of Burslem, Staffordshire, England, with twenty-four plates of each type.
All but the desert plates have scalloped rims, and all but the game plates and dessert plates are bordered with a gilt scroll and trellis design.
The soup plates each have a shallow bowl decorated with a historic Canadian landscape.
The heraldic shield of the landscape's province is included on the border.
Clara Elizabeth Galbreaith of Hamilton, Ontario, painted twelve of the soup plates, and Phoebe Amelia Watson of Doon, Ontario, painted the other twelve.

The fish plates illustrate  Canadian freshwater and saltwater fish, shells and seaweeds.
Lily Osman Adams of Toronto painted eighteen of the fish plates, with underwater designs, and Louise Couen, also of Toronto, painted the other six.
The dinner plates show historic landscapes, and also include the heraldic shield of the province in the border design.
Margaret Irvine of Toronto and Martha Logan, originally from Hartford, Connecticut, each painted twelve of the dinner plates.  Margaret Irvine was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, sometime between 1847 and 1856.  She was the daughter of William Irvine and Jane Dignam, who came to Canada from County Fermanagh, Ireland, between 1846 and 1859.  The Irvine Family settled in London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada.

The game plates each depict a different Canadian game bird, and the borders are decorated with plants from the bird's habitat.
Small maple leaf motifs decorate the rims.
Alice Egan of Halifax, Nova Scotia, was chosen to paint twelve of the game plates, and Elizabeth Whitney of St. Catherine's Street in Montreal to paint the other twelve.
They were asked to decide how they would divide the task. Alice wrote "I chose the ducks, or rather my father did. My father was afraid that other artists would paint the birds with deformed legs and wings, as they paid no attention to bird's joints.
Her father was a hunter, and she used his Audubon books as guides for her illustrations.

The salad plates illustrate different Canadian ferns.
Justina A. Harrison of Toronto painted twelve salad plates and M. Roberts, of whom little is known other than that she lived in Toronto, painted the other twelve.
The cheese plates show Canadian songbirds.
Hattie Proctor of Toronto painted twelve of the cheese plates and Elizabeth Whitney painted the other twelve. Whitney also painted twelve game plates.
The dessert plates show wild or cultivated Canadian fruits.
Alice M. Judd of Hamilton and Margaret McClung of St. Catharines each painted twelve of the dessert plates.

Coffee cups and saucers
There are twenty-four coffee cups and saucers of bone china from Doulton & Co., and twelve coffee cups and saucers of Limoges porcelain.
The twenty-four Doulton coffee cups and saucers are lobed, as are their saucers, and have scroll handles.
The cups and saucers have gilts rims and handles, and are decorated with Canadian wildflowers.
The Limoges coffee cups have straight sides and ring handles, with circular saucers.
Twelve of the coffee cups and saucers were painted by Jane Bertram of Toronto, twelve by Juliet Howson of Toronto and twelve by Anna Lucy Kelley of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Reception

In July 1897 the service was put on display in Toronto.
It was then exhibited in Montreal and Quebec City.
The finished product was well received.
It was called "a most valuable and interesting work on a large scale, accomplished by the most representative talent in the Dominion ... it is hoped that it will be accepted by the government and placed where it may be seen and studied and preserved to mark the first era in ceramics in Canada."
However, the government was unwilling to pay the asking price of CDN$1,000.

Mary Dignam and Lady Edgar, wife of the speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, asked some members of the Senate and House of Commons for help.
They arranged for the service to be bought at the artists' prices by private subscriptions from members of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada.
On 13 June 1898 the service was formally presented by the members to Lady Aberdeen after the end of the term of her husband as Governor General.
In accepting the gift, Lady Aberdeen made an eloquent speech that ended,

The service was shipped to Scotland and placed on display in Haddo House, home of the Countess and Earl of Aberdeen.

This is still its home, although the house and the ceramic display are now the property of the National Trust for Scotland.

title: Union Railway (Bronx)

text:
The Union Railway Company of New York City (often shortened to Union Railway) was chartered in 1892, and consolidated several streetcar transit franchises across Manhattan and The Bronx in New York City in the late 19th century. The Harlem Bridge, Morrisania and Fordham Railway (established in 1863) combined with the North Third Avenue and Fleetwood Park Railway and the Melrose and West Morrisania Railroad to form the nucleus of the Union Railway in 1892. All lines were electrified the same year. Union Railway was acquired by Third Avenue Railroad Company in 1898, which was later reorganized as the Third Avenue Railway.

Bronx Traction Company
The Bronx Traction Company was formed in 1904 to consolidate the West Farms and Westchester Traction Company, the Wakefield and Westchester Traction Company, the Williamsbridge and Westchester Traction Company, the Van Nest, West Farms and Westchester Traction Company, and the Suburban Traction Company. Bronx Traction was leased to the Union Railway, which was in turn acquired by Third Avenue Railway.

Southern Boulevard Railroad
Chartered in 1885, the Southern Boulevard Railroad came under the control of the Union Railway, and subsequently operated by Third Avenue Railway after 1898. No rolling stock was assigned to this line, with all equipment and employees provided by the Union Railway.

Westchester County
Formed in 1898 to take over the old New York, Elmsford and White Plains Railway, the Tarrytown, White Plains and Mamaroneck Railway connected its namesake cities in suburban Westchester County. Acquired by the Union Railway, it was sold to Third Avenue Railway in 1900.

title: Hertig Fredrik av Normandie

text:
Hertig Fredrik av Normandie ("Duke Frederick of Normandy") is an anonymous, 3,310-line Swedish translation of a lost German romance, which according to Hertig Fredrik was itself translated from French at the behest of the Emperor Otto. By its own declaration, the Swedish translation was made in 1308. It is one of the three Eufemiavisorna, Swedish translations of originally French romances composed at the behest of Queen Euphemia of Rügen (1270–1312). It was subsequently also translated into Danish.

Synopsis

The poem's main character is Duke Frederick, a knight of the court of King Arthur. He goes out hunting but becomes lost, and so finds himself in the realm of the dwarves, who inhabit a mountain. Frederick assists their king, Malmrit: Malmrit has lost his kingdom to rebellious vassals, and Frederick helps him to regain his kingdom and restore order and prosperity. In return, Malmrit gives Frederick a magic ring with the power of making its bearer invisible. Frederick uses it to gain access to a tower where the King of Ireland has imprisoned his beautiful daughter Floria. Frederick begins a sexual relationship with Floria and eventually, through a series of adventures, brings her and a great fortune with him back to Normandy. The couple marry, become good rulers and, in his old age, Floria enters a convent.

Evaluation

According to Gösta Holm, 'on the whole, it is more artistic than its Swedish forerunner, Herr Ivan'.

The first scholarly consideration of the text was by Rasmus Nyerup in 1811.

Manuscripts

Hertig Fredrik is generally preserved alongside the other Eufemiavisorna.

title: Felsőbányaite

text:
Felsőbányaite or basaluminite is a hydrated aluminium sulfate mineral with formula: Al4(SO4)(OH)10·4H2O. It is a rare white to pale yellow mineral which typically occurs as globular masses and incrustations or as minute rhombic crystals. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system.

It occurs as a weathering product under acidic conditions associated with pyrite or marcasite decomposition. Associated minerals include hydrobasaluminite, hydroargillite, meta-aluminite, allophane, gibbsite, gypsum and aragonite.

Felsőbányaite was first described in 1853 for an occurrence in the Baia Sprie mine, Baia Sprie (Felsőbánya), Maramureș County, Romania, and named for the locality. The mineral name basaluminite was used for an occurrence of the same mineral in England in 1948 and discredited by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) in 2006.

title: Cry of Achilles

text:
"Cry of Achilles" is a song by American rock band Alter Bridge. It is the second single from the band's fourth studio album Fortress and was released on April 22, 2014.

The song along with "Addicted to Pain" were featured in the 2015 video game Guitar Hero Live.

Music video
The band along with GeneroTV held a project for fans to create their own music video for the song. An animated music video by SiLee Films was chosen as the winner.

The King and Queen of a distant, mythical land are taking a romantic stroll in the forest when they come across a magnificent silver tree. Embedded in its trunk lies an exotic jewel. The King is drawn by its intoxicating power and pulls it from its resting place.

Without the jewel at the tree's heart an almighty evil is unleashed. The King, under the jewel's influence, mistakes his Queen for an evil demon and runs his sword through her.
Distraught, he blames the demon and the forest for the loss of his beloved wife.

Over the years, the forest sends out demons of increasing size to the King's citadel to retrieve the jewel, but the King constructs his own defence, the Titan, to keep them at bay. The Titan is forged using the magical powers of the jewel and the blood of the King. For many years the Titan fights for the safety of the city and its people under command of the King. The King, knowing that he will not be able to protect his city for much longer, passes the  responsibility to his son, the Prince.

However, the Princess has to take control of the Titan after her brother fails to fight off the latest and largest demon. She is given a vision of how the war began when she comes in contact with the demon. The forest needs the jewel to be returned to its rightful place to lock away the evil spirit once more.

The King finally admits the error of his ways and offers the jewel to his daughter so that she may return it to the forest.

title: Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria (1899–1977)

text:
Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria  (13 July 1899 – 22 October 1977) was a daughter of Archduke Leopold Salvator of Austria and Infanta Blanca of Spain. She was member of the Tuscan branch of the Imperial House of Habsburg, an Archduchess of Austria and Princess of Tuscany by birth. In 1919, after the fall of the Austro Hungary Empire, she moved with her family to Spain. In 1924 she married Ramón de Orlandis y Villalonga, a Spanish aristocrat. When she became a widow during the Spanish civil war Archduchess Maria Antonia moved permanently to South America where she remarried.

Early life
Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria was born on 13 July 1899 at Zagreb, then part of Austria-Hungary. She was the sixth of ten children of Archduke Leopold Salvator of Austria (1863–1931) and of his wife Infanta Blanca of Spain (1868–1949).  She was given the baptismal names Maria Antonia Roberta Blanka Leopoldina Karole Josepha Raphaela Michaela Ignatia Aurelia, but was called Mimi, by her family.

Archduchess Maria Antonia grew up in the last period of Habsburg monarchy. She was raised with her many brothers and sisters in the various properties owned by her parents. While in Vienna, they lived at the Palais Toskana with Schloss Wilhelminenberg as their country state.  Vacations were spent in Italy where Infanta Blanca owned a rural property near Viareggio. Theirs was a multi cultural household as Archduchess Maria Antonia's paternal ancestors had reigned in Austria, Tuscany and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Her maternal family had reigned in Spain, Parma, Modena, Portugal and France.
The fourth of five sisters, Archduchess Maria Antonia was raised paired with her younger sister Archduchess Assumpta.

Exile
Archduchess Maria Antonia was nineteen years old at the fall of Habsburg monarchy. The end of World War I marked a sharp down turned in her family's prosperity. The republican government of Austria confiscated the properties of the Habsburgs. The family lost all their fortune. Maria Antonia's eldest brothers, Archdukes Rainer and Leopold, remained in Austria and they recognized the new republic. The rest of the family moved to Spain in January 1919. They settled in Barcelona living with simplicity with very limited means. While Maria Antonia's three elder sisters Archduchess Dolores, Inmaculata and Margareta were pliable, Archduchesses Maria Antonia and her younger sister Assunta were more rebellious and clashed often with their mother, Infanta Blanca.

While living in Barcelona Maria Antonia turned increasingly towards religion. Although both of her parents were observant Catholics, they found Maria Antonia's religious fervor worrisome particularly because her sister Assunta followed Maria Antonia's lead.  Archduchess Maria Antonia wished to become a nun, but her mother thought that Maria Antonia had neither the necessary vocation nor the temperament to follow a religious life. To make her reflect on her decision Maria Antonia's parents took her to the Island of Mallorca. At the same time Infanta Blanca and her husband wanted to see if there were any properties they could claim from Archduke Ludwig Salvador's uncle who had died a decade earlier, unmarried. The family found that there was nothing left they could have inherited. Archduchess Maria Antonia quickly left behind her intentions to become a nun. She fell in love with Ramon Orlandis y Villalonga (1896–1936), who belonged to the minor Spanish nobility, but like the Archduchess, he lacked personal fortune. His father had lost his title when he failed to pay the taxes of nobility. The marriage took place in Barcelona on 16 July 1924. The couple lived in Mallorca where they were the parents of five children who bore the surname Orlandis y Habsburgo:
Blanca Maria (1926–1969) married in 1948 Raul Ereñu (1908–1969). They had five children
Juan, Baron de Pinopar (1928–1977) married in 1951 Hildegarde Bragagnolo (1932–2001). They had eight children.
Maria Antonia (1929–1991). Died unmarried
Isabel (1931) married in 1954 Fausto Morell, Marqués de Sollerich (1926–2003). They had six children.
Alfonsina (1936) married in 1981 Joaquín Zaforteza (born 1930). They had no issue.

Archduchess Maria Antonia's husband died during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. A widow with five children Archduchess Maria Antonia, as the widow de Orlandis, emigrated to South America. In 1942, in Uruguay, she married Argentine-born Don Luis Perez Sucre (1899–1950). Her second husband died eight years later. Archduchess Maria Antonia died in Brazil in 1977.

title: St. Athan railway station

text:
St Athan railway station was a railway station in South Wales.

Opening
When RAF St Athan opened in the late 1930s, it caused the Vale of Glamorgan Line to experience a much-needed surge in traffic. The nearest station was Gileston. Whilst this was convenient for the eastern area of the base, the western part was poorly served. This caused the Great Western Railway to open a new halt on the line. Despite its name, it was over two miles away from St Athan. In 1943, the halt was upgraded to a station to reflect its growing importance. However, many local people still referred to it as 'the halt'.

Description
St. Athan halt was located to the east of a bridge that carried the former main road between Llantwit Major and Barry. From 1 September 1939, the halt had served the West Camp site of RAF St. Athan and it occupied a very cramped position in a cutting. It changed to 'station' status on 3 May 1943 but along with all Vale of Glamorgan Branch stations closed in June 1964. The booking office was at road level and was linked to both platforms below by long ramps. Each platform had a wooden shelter.

Closure
The station closed in 1964 when passenger services were withdrawn on the line. Although they were restored in 2005, there is no longer any station at St Athan.

title: Son of Mustang Ford

text:
Son of Mustang Ford is the debut EP by English alternative rock band, Swervedriver. Self-produced by the band, it was released on 16 July 1990 through Creation and A&M Records. The title track of the EP was included in the band's debut album, Raise (1991).

Background and music
Two of the songs, "Son of Mustang Ford" and "Volcano Trash", were composed by Adam Franklin, after his band Shake Appeal disbanded. The band signed to Creation Records, after their demo tape was handed to Alan McGee by Mark Gardener of Ride. The band decided to release a series of four-track EPs over the span of a year, Son of Mustang Ford being the first one. The band recorded and produced the EP at Greenhouse Studios in London.

Franklin stated in NME that the EP "was based on the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas idea – driving around, out of your box, over America's landscapes." The song "Kill the Superheroes" was composed in an alternate tuning. A music video for "Son of Mustang Ford" was also released. According to music journalist Simon Williams, the band's sound on the EP is "dirtier" than those of the other Creation Records acts, "taking contemporary American guitar rock and instilling it with a liberal dose of languid British dream pop."

Critical reception

Andy Kellman of Allmusic wrote: "This EP announced Swervedriver's presence on the shoegaze scene with authority, but with a heavier side that appealed to fans of Loop and the Stooges. Though just as textured and flanged out as any other shoegaze band, with this EP, Swervedriver came across as a band as likely to listen to Black Sabbath as to My Bloody Valentine."

title: Borospherene

text:
Borospherene (B40) is a cluster molecule containing 40 boron atoms. It is similar to buckminsterfullerene, the "spherical" carbon structure, but with a different symmetry. The discovery of borospherene was announced in July 2014, and is described in the journal Nature Chemistry. Borospherene is similar to other cluster molecules, including buckminsterfullerene (C60), stannaspherene, and plumbaspherene. The molecule includes unusual heptagonal faces.

Structure
Borospherene has a unique axis of symmetry (a 180° rotation), so it is not really "spherical" like buckminsterfullerene (which has icosahedral symmetry). Its symmetry group is D2d (antiprismatic symmetry, like a baseball). It includes 48 boron triangles between four seven-sided rings and two six-membered rings. There are four sets of eight equivalent boron atoms, and two sets of four equivalent atoms. Each boron atom binds to four or five other boron atoms (see illustration in article from Brown University).

Lai-Sheng Wang, professor of chemistry at Brown University, modeled possible B40 structures on computer. Two forms were predicted – a sheet-like structure and a closed cage. Photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the substance formed in the laboratory was this cage. The structure of the cage is not perfectly uniform – "Several atoms stick out a bit from the others, making the surface of borospherene somewhat less smooth than a buckyball" according to Wang.

title: Dominic Pangborn

text:
Dominic Pangborn is a Korean-American artist and graphic designer.

Early years

Dominic Pangborn was born in Chungcheong Province, Korea, in 1952 during the Korean War.

Since childhood, Pangborn traveled a road rarely crossed and from that  he acquired an exceptional view of life at a young age. Pangborn never met his father, an American serviceman. He lived with his mother, a Korean villager, for the majority of his childhood. At the age of 10, Pangborn’s mother was able to send him to the United States with the support and assistance of an American Catholic missionary, Fr. Vincent Hoffman, in the hope that he would have an easier and more prosperous life not obtainable for a multiethnic Korean at that time.  In America, Dominic was adopted by Fr. Hoffman's sister and her husband, Mary and Spencer Pangborn. He spent his adolescence gutsily acclimating to his new country and bonding with his American family including 11 siblings, 4 uncles, 4 aunts, and 40 cousins in Jackson, Michigan. He attended Lumen Christi High School.

His story is one of 26 included in the book “After the Morning Calm: Reflections of Korean Adoptees.”

Art education
Pangborn graduated from Lumen Christi High School, in Jackson, Mich., then at his father’s suggestion, decided to pursue an education in art.

He studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, where he majored in graphic design. He attended the Syracuse University Illustrators Workshop and served later as a professor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. He received an Honorary Doctorate from Detroit’s Marygrove College.

Design
In 1978 Pangborn, moved from Chicago to Detroit, and in 1979 he opened Pangborn Design, Ltd. Over the years, his clients included Kmart, Sears, General Motors, Chrysler, and Procter & Gamble.

His work using folded and pull-out paper elements for Wolverine World Wide’s Annual report is included in the 2001 book “Paper Graphics: The Power of Paper in Graphic Design.” He provided the graphic art poster for the 2006 North American International Auto Show.

He expanded his studio to include locations in Chicago, New York, and Tokyo. In addition to graphic arts, he launched a line of
neckwear that was sold at retailers included Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.

Along with the neckwear, Pangborn designs furniture, home accessories and textiles. His retail stores, Pangborn Design Collection, and other retailers sell Pangborn Design Label merchandise.

Fine art

Pangborn shifted his focus to fine art in 2007 using various media, including painting and sculpting. Pangborn’s 40-foot work “Baseball in Motion” is displayed at the Miami Marlins Park, and his art-in-motion “Stations of the Cross” hangs in the Father Solanus Casey Center at the St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit, where he has worked to aid fundraising efforts of the monastery's soup kitchen. In 2012, he was featured in an hour-long Korean television special called "Global Success."

In July 2014, he opened a three-month-long, 60-piece retrospective exhibit of his design and art career at the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History in Jackson, Mich.

His fine art work has been published in Playboy magazine and is collected and sold around the world through Park West Gallery.

He says his greatest influences are Joseph Mallard William Turner and Leonardo da Vinci.

title: Bilingual method

text:
The bilingual method of foreign language teaching was developed by  C.J. Dodson (1967) as a counterpart of the audiovisual method. In both methods the preferred basic texts are dialogues accompanied by a picture strip. The bilingual method, however, advocates two revolutionary principles based on the results of scientifically controlled experiments in primary and secondary schools. In contrast to the audiovisual method and the direct method, the printed text is made available from the very beginning and presented simultaneously with the spoken sentence to allow learners to see the shape of individual words. Also, from the outset meanings are conveyed bilingually as utterance equivalents in the manner of the sandwich technique, thus avoiding meaningless and hence tedious parroting of the learning input. The pictures are seen primarily as an aid to recall and practice of the related dialogue sentences rather than as conveyors of meaning. The mother tongue is again used in the oral manipulation of grammatical structures, i.e. in bilingual pattern drills.

Structure

The architecture of the bilingual method is best understood  as a traditional three-phase structure of presentation – practice – production. A lesson cycle starts out with the reproduction of a dialogue, moves on to the oral variation and recombination of the dialogue sentences, and ends up with an extended application stage reserved for message-oriented communication. The method is listed in Eppert’s Lexikon (1973: 171) under the headword Konversation, where its eight teaching steps are described  "The eight steps lead from imitation to free conversation," i.e. unlike the grammar-translation method,  but like the direct method and the audio-lingual method it focuses on the development of oral skills.

Classroom research

Dodson’s experimental data – several modes of presenting dialogues were tested – have been confirmed by subsequent research, for example by a school-year long experiment of teaching French to Dutch learners (Meijer 1974), which compared the bilingual method with an audiovisual approach. A laboratory study with Japanese learners of English also confirmed  Dodson’s results (Ishii et al. 1979). Similar results were reported by Sastri (1970) and Walatara (1973). Feasibility studies were undertaken by Kaczmarski (1979) in Poland, by Wolfgang Butzkamm (1980) for the teaching of English to German speakers in secondary schools, by Kasjan (1995) for the teaching  of German to Japanese learners at university level, and by Moorfield (2008) for the teaching of the Maori language.

History

Although Dodson’s work inspired researchers from various countries, the bilingual method has been neglected by the mainstream, as evidenced in the absence of any mother tongue role in recognised overviews of L2 approaches and methods such as Richards & Rodgers (1987). However, Butzkamm & Caldwell (2009) have taken up Dodson’s seminal ideas and called for a paradigm shift in foreign language teaching. This call was repeated by Hall & Cook in their state-of-the-art article (2012:  299): "The way is open for a major paradigm shift in language teaching and learning"

Principles of The Bilingual Method
 The understanding of words and sentences in foreign languages can be made easier by the use of mother tongue.
 There is no need to create artificial situations for explaining the meaning of words and sentences of the target language.
 Bilingual method is the combination of the Direct method and the Grammar translation method.

Advantages of The Bilingual Method

Students become functional bilinguals

When the students aim to become fully bilingual in terms of language learning, this method is considered to be the appropriate one. When the students begin with the language learning process, their success in the learning depends upon the competence and confidence of their language teacher. As she moves from L1 to L2, the students imitate her and learn.

Never miss out on a Lesson

According to this method, acquisition of the mother tongue is very important for the language learning process. When the mother tongue is firmly established in the minds of the students, by the age of 7 or 8, it becomes easy to learn difficult words and grammar. Thus, this method helps to save time by not creating artificial situations unnecessarily to explain or convey meanings in English.

Give importance to other languages

In this method, importance is given to the mother tongue and its culture. Thus it does not lead to substitution of one means of communication for another.

Accessibility

This method of language learning ensures accessibility. When students start learning a language using this method, they find a level of familiarity. Through the use of the mother tongue, the teacher ensures that the learning is happening .

Discipline

Many new English language teachers face difficulty handling students and making them feel as comfortable as with a local teacher. Learning the local language is considered a sure way to improve behavior management skills. It also helps in delivering instructions related to lesson activities. If the concepts are explained in students' L1, then the new learners of the English language will be able to grasp more knowledge about grammar and vocabulary. Thus, it helps the students to be more efficient and faster.

It's the teacher's tool

In the bilingual method, as the native language is used in the classroom, it is important to note that it's predominantly the teacher who makes use of L1. The students will not be using their native tongue much in the classroom.

Builds strong foundation for reading, right from the start

The bilingual method uses written form of the language which allows students learn the shapes of the words as they repeat the words orally.

Disadvantages of The Bilingual Method
 If the teacher fails to carry out this method properly, then it can degenerate into pure translation method.
 This method can confuse the learner while contrasting the features of two languages.
 The teacher must be fluent in both the languages in order to make the concepts clear.
 Students may develop dependency on their mother tongue.
 Slows down learning process and takes longer time to learn and be proficient in the target language.

title: Samuel Snowden Hayes

text:
Samuel Snowden Hayes (December 25, 1820 – January 28, 1880) was an American politician from Tennessee. Hayes moved to Illinois after a family tragedy and eventually established a successful law practice in Carmi. He became a prominent politician in White County, serving two terms in the Illinois House of Representatives and attending the 1848 state constitutional convention. He was a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party and often campaigned on their behalf. He moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1850 and became one of the city's leading Democratic voices preceding the Civil War. From 1858, he supported Stephen A. Douglas and championed him at the 1860 Democratic National Convention. He was one of the three delegates on the United States Revenue Commission in 1865.

Biography
Samuel Snowden Hayes was born in Nashville, Tennessee on December 25, 1820. He descended from early American families from both his parents. His mother died in 1828 and the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio three years later. In 1837, his father died when a servant poisoned a family meal with arsenic. To support his family, Hayes moved to Louisville, Kentucky to work in a drug store as a clerk. The next year, he bought a stock of pharmaceuticals and moved west to Shawneetown, Illinois to open his own shop. He sold his shop after two years and used the proceeds to fund an education in law. He studied at the Henry Eddy; future US Representative Samuel S. Marshall was a fellow student there at the time.

Hayes was admitted to the bar in 1842 and moved to Mount Vernon, Illinois to practice. After a short term there, he opened a practice in Carmi, Illinois. He took an interest in politics and canvassed Southern Illinois in favor of Democrat James K. Polk for the 1844 presidential election. He attended the 1845 commercial convention in Memphis, Tennessee and drew acclaim for his critique of John C. Calhoun.

Hayes was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1846 and served two two-year terms. In 1847, Hayes was a delegate to the Illinois State Constitutional Convention of 1847, where he was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Law Reform. Hayes again canvassed Southern Illinois for the Democratic Party in 1848, supporting Lewis Cass for President. He was a presidential elector for that election. Governor of Illinois Augustus C. French named Hayes an honorary Colonel, an advisory position.

In the winter of 1850, with his second legislature term expired, Hayes moved to Chicago, Illinois to open a law practice. Shortly after his arrival, he was named Counselor and City Solicitor. Hayes campaigned against the Kansas–Nebraska Act in 1854, but did not break from supporting the Democratic Party, supporting James Buchanan in the 1856 presidential election.

After Buchanan supported slave state status for Kansas in 1858, Hayes shifted his support to Stephen A. Douglas and remained his close political ally. He supported Douglas as a delegate to the two 1860 Democratic National Conventions. Like Douglas, Hayes supported reconciliation with the South after the election of Abraham Lincoln and supported the Union when the American Civil War broke out months later. Hayes was named City Comptroller of Chicago in 1862, retiring three years later. He then served with David Ames Wells and Stephen Colwell on the United States Revenue Commission, a group empowered to investigate how to raise revenue to cover expenses from the war. Hayes was a delegate to the Illinois Constitutional Convention of 1870.

Hayes married Lizzie J. Taylor, the eldest daughter of Edmund Dick Taylor, around 1850. He served multiple terms on the Chicago Board of Education. An elementary school in the city was later named after him. He was a trustee of the Illinois Industrial University from 1867 to 1870.

Hayes died at his home in Chicago on January 28, 1880, and was buried at Rosehill Cemetery.

Hayes Drive in Jackson Park was named for him.
