title: Susan Walsh (missing person)

text:
Susan Walsh (February 18, 1960 – disappeared July 16, 1996) was an American writer and freelance journalist who disappeared outside her home in Nutley, New Jersey, on July 16, 1996. Her disappearance was widely publicized into the late 1990s, especially after several newspapers and media outlets published articles implying that her disappearance was potentially linked to the Russian mafia or New York City's underground vampire community, both subjects that she had investigated while writing for The Village Voice.

Walsh's case has been profiled on multiple television programs, including Unsolved Mysteries in 1997 and Disappeared in 2012. She was the subject of a 1998 book titled Piercing the Darkness: Undercover with Vampires in America Today by Katherine Ramsland.

Early life
Susan Walsh was born Susan Young on February 18, 1960. She aspired to be a poet from a young age. Walsh attended William Paterson University where she studied English and writing; while there, she was employed as a journalist for the university newspaper. Walsh worked intermittently as an erotic dancer and stripper to help pay her tuition. Notwithstanding her struggles with substance abuse and alcoholism, she graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in 1988 and then worked as a writer for engineering and business publications. She was later employed as a writer for Screw magazine.

In 1984, she married Mark Walsh, a brother of musician Joe Walsh. The couple had one son, David, born in 1985.

Disappearance
On July 16, 1996, Walsh left her apartment complex in Nutley, New Jersey, which she shared with her son. Her estranged husband, Mark, lived below them. Walsh had left to run errands and make a telephone call at a payphone across the street, leaving her son with Mark. It was the last time that Walsh was seen. At the time of her disappearance, she had been enrolled in a Master's program in English at New York University, which she had halfway completed, while supporting herself and her son by working as a freelance journalist and in various jobs as a stripper. At the time of her disappearance, her friends had become worried that she had relapsed into her drug addiction, after having maintained 11 years of sobriety.

Investigation
Police were able to eliminate Walsh's ex-husband as a suspect in her disappearance. It was noted later that the page for the entire month of July 1996 was missing from Walsh's calendar in her apartment. Although police had few clues to follow up on in their investigation, rumors circulated that Walsh's disappearance might have been connected to the investigative journalism she had been doing at the time.

Walsh had penned an in-depth report published in The Village Voice about a strip club ring in which members of the Russian mafia were allegedly forcing young girls into the sex industry. Following this article, Walsh had also explored an underground vampire community in New York City, but the newspaper did not run the story as it felt Walsh's writing on the matter was not objective. Ultimately, police were unable to establish any connections between Walsh's disappearance and her work on either article. Walsh established a friendship with journalist James Ridgeway during her time writing for the Voice, with Ridgeway referring to her as his "most reliable" writer.

At the time, Walsh had also participated in a documentary produced by her friend, Jill Morley, titled Stripped, which detailed women working in the sex industry. Walsh was recorded in a group interview for the film on July 14, 1996, two days before her disappearance, during which she made a reference to having a "stalker." She had also hired herself out to a German documentary crew making a film about Russian immigrants becoming go-go dancers, and was also in the midst of developing a documentary on the subject with the BBC shortly before her disappearance. Walsh's last work was her contributions to the book Red Light: Inside the Sex Industry by Ridgeway and Sylvia Plachy; Walsh served as the primary researcher for the book and also contributed photographs and personal writings within a month before her disappearance.

In a 2006 article in The New York Post, it was noted that Walsh had confided to a former boyfriend that another of her ex-boyfriends had been stalking her; additionally, the article stated that her husband, Mark, had refused to allow police to perform forensic testing of their home.

title: Mapenduma hostage crisis

text:
The Mapenduma hostage crisis began on 8 January 1996 after the Free Papua Movement ( (OPM)) took 26 members of a World Wildlife Fund research mission captive at Mapenduma, Jayawijaya in Irian Jaya (now Nduga Regency in Highland Papua), Indonesia. The hostages were subsequently moved to Geselama.  The International Committee of the Red Cross acted as an intermediary between the OPM and the Indonesian authorities. Fifteen hostages, all of Indonesian nationality, were released relatively quickly, but eleven (comprising four Britons, two Dutch, and five Indonesians) remained in OPM hands. After lengthy negotiations the ICRC secured an agreement for the release of the remaining hostages on 8 May. However, the OPM leader, Kelly Kwalik, backed out of the agreement on the day of the intended release. The ICRC removed itself from the negotiations and stated that the Indonesian Army was no longer bound by an agreement not to engage in combat with the hostage takers.

On 9 May Indonesian Army Special Forces (Kopassus) moved into the village but found it unoccupied. Five personnel were killed in a helicopter crash. A small observation force was left behind and, after this confirmed the OPM and their hostages had returned to the site on 15 May, a second assault was made. This was successful and effected the release of nine of the hostages, two being killed by their captors. Eight OPM fighters were killed and two captured versus no loss on the Indonesian side, save for the helicopter crash. There was some international controversy over the use of an unmarked civilian helicopter by the Indonesian forces, which may have misled the OPM.

Hostage-taking and negotiations
On 8 January 1996, 200 members of the Free Papua Movement (OPM) took 26 hostages from the village of Mapenduma in Irian Jaya. The hostages comprised 20 Indonesians, four Britons, and two Dutch – the latter including a pregnant woman – and all were part of a World Wildlife Fund mission conducting biodiversity research.  Fifteen of the Indonesian hostages were released swiftly by the OPM leader Kelly Kwalik.  On 14 January the OPM demanded the use of an aircraft and a meeting with four priests or missionaries.

The Catholic Bishop of Jayapura, Herman Ferdinandus Maria Münninghoff, made contact with Kwalik on 25 January to begin negotiations. Kwalik requested that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) act as an intermediary between the OPM and the Indonesian authorities.  The ICRC consulted with the British, Dutch, and Indonesian governments before agreeing to take on this role.

A five-member negotiating team arrived in the area on 7 February but, owing to bad weather, dense jungle, and logistical problems, was unable to make contact with the hostage-takers until 25 February, when they were located at Geselama. The ICRC team were able to meet with a number of the hostages, under OPM supervision on this occasion and on their four subsequent visits (26–27 March, 17 April, 5 May, and 8 May).

The ICRC noted that there were serious concerns regarding the health of three of the hostages, including Martha Klein, the pregnant Dutchwoman, and attempted to provide vitamin supplements and a means of communication with the hostages' families. The Indonesian authorities made little progress with negotiations as Kwalik refused to back down from his demand for immediate independence for western New Guinea. However, the ICRC insisted that negotiations continue, and by early May had arranged the release of the hostages in exchange for free passage for the hostage-takers and medical and agricultural projects to be implemented in Irian Jaya.

A release ceremony was organised for 8 May at which many local tribal leaders were present. At the last moment, as the ICRC were preparing to leave with the hostages, Kwalik retracted his offer and again demanded independence for western New Guinea. The ICRC declared that as the OPM had backed out of the previous agreement, they would be unable to continue as an intermediary, that hostage-taking was prohibited by international law, and that the Indonesian forces would no longer be bound by their agreement to not engage in combat.

There was a dispute amongst the OPM with some members stating that the hostages would be released on 9 May.  The ICRC representatives returned the next day to find that the hostages had been moved to a different location and that Kwalik refused to change his stance.

Rescue operation
Indonesian Army Special Forces (Kopassus) for the rescue operation were under the command of Prabowo Subianto, son-in-law of President Soeharto. He arranged two Bell 412 helicopters to be shipped into the area via C-130 aircraft and used these, along with three other helicopters, to enter Geselama on 9 May. The rescue team found the village deserted and, leaving behind a Kopassus observation team, withdrew. During the withdrawal, a helicopter hit a tree and crashed, killing all five personnel on-board. Kopassus confirmed that the OPM and the hostages had returned to the village on 15 May.

Prabawo immediately launched another helicopter assault, code-named Operation Cenderawasih (Bird of Paradise). This operation resulted in the safe release of nine of the hostages, two of the Indonesian hostages having been killed during the course of the operation.  Eight OPM fighters were killed and two captured.  The May 15 operation was carried out by 100 Kopassus soldiers with access to an airborne surveillance drone and sniffer dogs. It was almost cancelled after the airbase from which it was to be launched was stormed by several thousand locals intent on burning the helicopters, who had to be repelled by rubber bullets.

Kopassus took several hours to carry out the rescue and were able to locate the OPM forces by following a trail of discarded personal belongings.  The two hostages that were killed bled to death after being struck by machetes by the OPM; Klein was slightly wounded after being struck by a spear. The survivors were stranded on the mountainside overnight by bad weather before being evacuated to Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital.  Three of the hostages were admitted to intensive care but the remainder were in relatively good condition.

Allegations were made regarding the ICRC's involvement in the incident, including that it co-operated with the Indonesian forces to organise the military operation and that it allowed the Indonesian forces to disguise themselves under the Red Cross emblem (particularly by using a red cross-marked helicopter).  The ICRC investigated the matter and could not find any evidence of such events.  The Indonesian Army admitted to using a white civilian helicopter (in Airfast Indonesia livery) to lead the assault, which had been used previously to ferry the ICRC representatives. They state that it was not marked with the red cross and was accompanied by two Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma in Indonesian Army markings. But they admit that it may have caused confusion to the OPM forces.

Several sources state that private military company Executive Outcomes provided training and operational advice to the Indonesian government on the rescue operation.

Dadi Denis (born August 13, 1976) is a retired Haitian sprinter, who specialized in the 400 metres. Being born and raised in the United States, Denis represented his parental nation Haiti at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also became a member of the track and field team for Morgan State Bears, under his head coach Neville Hodge, while studying at the Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Denis qualified for the men's 400 metres at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by attaining a B-standard time of 45.89. He threw down a personal best of 47.57 in heat six, but faded only to seventh and did not advance further into the semifinals, trailing behind U.S. sprinter and eventual winner Jeremy Wariner by a two-second deficit.

title: Union Trust Bank Company Building

text:
The Union Trust Bank Company Building is a historic bank building located at 200 Collinsville Avenue in downtown East St. Louis, Illinois.

Background
Built from 1922 to 1926, the building housed the Union Trust & Savings Bank, which was founded in 1901 by August Schlafly. Architect Thomas Imbs designed the Classical Revival building. The bank's opening followed a major race riot and a series of corruption scandals in East St. Louis, and its construction marked a turnaround in what had until then been a struggling city. The new building inspired confidence in the city's downtown, and several landmark buildings were built in downtown East St. Louis in the ensuing decade. The building was one of two Classical Revival banks built in East St. Louis and is the only one which is still standing.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2014.

title: Norwegian Santal Mission

text:
The Norwegian Santal Mission () was a Norwegian humanitarian and missionary organisation that was mainly active in India, particularly among the Santhal people. It was affiliated with the (Lutheran) Norwegian State Church and existed from 1867 until it merged with other organisations to form Normisjon in 2001. The Norwegian Santal Mission has operated schools and hospitals in India and Bhutan.

The organisation was the Norwegian branch of the Santal Mission of the Northern Churches, that was established by the Norwegian missionary Lars Olsen Skrefsrud and the Danish missionary Hans Peter Børresen. Similar organisations existed in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Notable people affiliated with the Norwegian Santal Mission include Olav Hodne.

Between 1883 and 2001, the Norwegian Santal Mission published the journal Santalen ("The Santal").

Chairmen

Prior to 1883, the Norwegian Santal Mission consisted of local committees and lacked a national leadership. In 1883, a national central committee was formed. It was replaced by a national board from 1911. The chairmen were (incomplete):

1883–1887 Oscar Nissen
1887–1907 Bernhard Pauss
1911–1912 Joh. Baklund
1912–1917 Ole Hallesby
Hans Høeg

title: T.H. Tse

text:
T.H. Tse () is a Hong Kong academic who is a professor and researcher in program testing and debugging. He is ranked internationally as the second most prolific author in metamorphic testing.

According to Bruel et al., "Research on integrated formal and informal techniques can trace its roots to the work of T.H. Tse in the mid-eighties." The application areas of his research include object-oriented software, services computing, pervasive computing, concurrent systems, imaging software, and numerical programs. In addition, he creates graphic designs for non-government organizations.

Tse received the PhD from the London School of Economics in 1988 under the supervision of Frank Land and Ian Angell. He was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford in 1990 and 1992. He is currently an honorary professor in computer science at The University of Hong Kong after retiring from his full professorship in 2014. He was decorated with an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

In 2013, an international event entitled "The Symposium on Engineering Test Harness" was held in Nanjing, China "in honor of the retirement of T.H. Tse". The acronym of the symposium was "TSE-TH".

In 2017 to 2020, Tse served as the intermediary for the fundraising of $140 million for The University of Hong Kong to establish the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wings I and II in the Faculty of Engineering.

In 2019, Tse and team applied metamorphic testing to verify the robustness of citation indexing services, including Scopus and Web of Science. The innovative method, known as "metamorphic robustness testing", revealed that the presence of simple hyphens in the titles of scholarly papers adversely affects citation counts and journal impact factors, regardless of the quality of the publications. This "bizarre new finding", as well as the refutation by Web of Science and the clarification by Tse, was reported in ScienceAlert, Nature Index, Communications of the ACM, Psychology Today, and The Australian.

In 2021, Tse and team were selected as the Grand Champion of the Most Influential Paper Award by the Journal of Systems and Software for their 2010 paper. According to Google Scholar, the journal ranks no. 3 in h5-index among international publication venues in software systems.

title: The Man Who Laughs (1966 film)

text:
The Man Who Laughs () is a 1966 Italian historical drama film based on the 1869 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo.

Plot

In this version, the character of Gwynplaine is renamed Angelo (played by Jean Sorel). His disfigurement is represented as a single broad slash across his mouth, crude yet convincing. While he deals with this, he also falls for a beautiful girl named Dea. The story (which is attributed, in the movie credits, to the director, producer and others involved in making the film, but not to Victor Hugo) has the disfigured acrobat being seduced by a noblewoman and in so doing becomes a henchman for the Borgias. Meanwhile, Dea miraculously acquires her eyesight and falls in love with a young nobleman. This nobleman is marked for death not just by Angelo's employers but by Angelo as well over the loss of Dea. Angelo's assassination attempt fails and he is mortally wounded. In the final scene the escaping Angelo staggers into a Leper Colony and falls dead.

title: Carbon tissue

text:
Carbon tissue is a gelatin-based emulsion used as a photoresist in the chemical etching (photoengraving) of gravure cylinders for printing. This was introduced by British physicist and chemist Joseph Swan  in 1864. It has been used in photographic reproduction since the early days of photography.

Carbon materials marketing began in 1866 by Joseph Swan which he subsequently sold to the Autotype Company in 1868. His ready-made tissues were in three colours black, sepia and purple-brown. This method was used in Europe and USA throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th. This market was almost closed in the 1950s although some companies produce small amount of carbon tissue and transfer papers for monochrome and three-color work until around 1990

Method

The gelatinous emulsion is applied to a paper backing, and is rendered sensitive to light when immersed in a 3:4%  solution of potassium bichromate. After drying, it is ready for use. The carbon tissue is first exposed to a film positive. In those areas where the carbon tissue has received the most light (i.e., non-image areas and highlights) the emulsion becomes thick and hard, and the thickness and hardness decreases with decreasing exposure to the light source, the emulsion being thinnest and softest in image areas corresponding to shadows and solids. After developing the carbon tissue, it is adhered to the surface of the copper-plated cylinder.

A solution of ferric chloride etchant is applied to the surface of the cylinder, where it eats away the copper through the carbon tissue. In the highly exposed areas, where the carbon tissue photoresist is thickest and hardest, the etchant takes a long time to eat through the hard emulsion, while in the least exposed, thinnest regions the etchant eats through the resist into the copper very quickly. Thus, in a given period of etching, the cells etched into the copper will be deepest (and thus will print the darkest) in those regions where the etchant has eaten through the quickest, while the cells etched into the copper will be the shallowest (and thus print the lightest) in those regions where the etchant has eaten through the slowest.

Usage
Carbon tissue resists were the first chemical etching media, but have been replaced by photopolymers, and chemical etching as a whole is being increasingly replaced by electromechanical engraving and computer-to-cylinder laser-cutting processes. (See Gravure Engraving.)

Carbon tissue resists have also been used extensively for the manufacture of photostencils in screen printing.

title: Berthel Michael Iversen

text:
Berthel Michael Iversen (, 1906–76) was a Danish architect active in Malaysia, and the founder of Iversen, van Sitteren & Partners. Most of his works were in Malaya (now Malaysia) and Singapore. He designed a large number of buildings in his Malayan home town, Ipoh. He eventually had offices in Ipoh, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. He did a large number of cinemas throughout Malaysia for the Shaw Brothers, a film production company which was the precursor to the Shaw Organization. Iversen's early works are sometimes described as Art Deco, but after World War II, his buildings became increasingly modern, and he became one of Southeast Asia's  most important modernists. His works were an integral part economically and symbolically for the newly developed countries of Malaysia and Singapore.

Personal life
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1906, Berthel Michael was the youngest of seven siblings in the Iversen family. He was named after the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. He exhibited an artistic streak from a young age, and graduated from the Royal Academy in Copenhagen in architecture. He relocated to Ipoh, Malaysia. He was married and had two children, Ruth Iversen Rollitt (daughter) and Per Iversen (son). In 1966, Iversen retired and left his firm to his son Per and his Chinese partners. He died in Copenhagen in 1976, age 70.

Career
In 1928, Iversen came to Malaya (Malaysia) and started his career as an architect. His elder brother Werner Iversen had been a successful planter in Malaya since 1918, and convinced Berthel to relocate. Young Iversen worked for Keys And Dowdeswell firm when he first landed Asia. In 1936, Iversen established his own firm with S.H van Sitteren in Ipoh- Iversen, van Sitteren & Partners. Iversen was a member of the Building Association of Ipoh, in the state of Perak. He was responsible for some of the famous modernist landmark buildings in Ipoh, including the Ipoh Race Course. He designed a large number of cinemas for his hometown, including the Lido., Rex, Majestic (demolished), Ruby, Odeon and Cathay cinemas, many of which are still standing. Also for the Shaw Brothers he designed Jubilee Park which was an outdoor entertainment centre and cinema. The Mercantile Bank, Lam Looking Bazaar, Geological Survey Building, Ipoh Swimming Club, and MCA are some of his prominent projects in Ipoh.

Iversen and his firm did many private houses for wealthy clients throughout the Malay Peninsula. His oeuvre includes numerous government buildings, hospitals, schools, cinemas, radio stations, and churches.

Awards
In 1950, Iversen won in a design competition for a post office saving bank in Malaya while he was recovering from a kidney operation; the prize was $5000. This prominent building eventually became the Federal House, and it is today the Rumah Persekutuan.
15 architects took part in the competition and Iversen's entry placed first. The final working drawings were completed at the end of 1951 and the foundation was completed in May 1952.
There was a change of plan when the Post Office Savings Bank would not be accommodated in this building and used entirely for Government Offices. The main block remained unaltered but the two storey block was increased to be the same height as the main building and an additional storey was later added to accommodate Radio Malaya.

The reinforced concrete frame-work was designed so that all secondary beams and slabs are of uniform spam and size, thus reducing the cost of frame-work.

Federal House is one of the earliest building to use plastic as a building material. The exterior of the solid panel is covered with green vitrolite with aluminium cover beads over the joints. The upper part of the panel is filled in with 'Cooper' glass louvers, which forms a continuous window. The delightful visual quality of the facade treatment was later compromised when the occupants painted the clear glass panels to reduce the sun glare and resultant heat gain.

Buildings

Jubilee Park

Once called "Ipoh Amusement Park", Jubilee Park was owned by the Shaw Brothers. Originally the park was used as an entertainment space to raise money for the victims of the China 1931 flood. It was then bought by Archibald Russel who leased the park to the Shaw Brothers, 30 April 1935. Scenes from director Mamat Khalid's film Zombi Kilang Biskut (2013) were filmed in front of the modern façade.

Lam Look Ing Bazaar
Lam Look Ing Bazaar (often written as Lam Looking Bazaar),1933, is located in Jalan Laksamana, Ipoh. Iversen was commissioned to design the project for Penang-born mining tycoon Lam Look Ing. It originally housed a bazaar at street level, and a hotel and the Celestial Cabaret occupied the upper floors. It was a favourite watering hole for European expatriates up until World War II when it became a favorite spot for Japanese officers. In the 1970s, Lam Look Ing Bazaar housed the Perak Emporium, an early incarnation of the air-conditioned department store. The emporium closed down following an economic downturn, and the building became dilapidated. A fire exacerbated its condition. Recently the Lam Look Ing Bazaar was bought and restored. This included a new roof but much of the original design was faithfully retained.

The Geological Survey

This Geological Survey Building, Ipoh, Perak, was an early Iversen work. This cornerstone for the building in Ipoh was laid by YM Raja Idris Shah ibin Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Shah, the Raja Muda of Perak in July, 1955 Iversen was hired to remodel and enlarge his project, and the building's library includes a mosaic floor of the Malayan Peninsula.

The Masonic Lodge

It is a freemason which built by B.M Iversen during the early 1930s, it is the second lodge.

Lee Wah Building
One of the most expensive 11-storey building was erected in Kuala Lumpur during the early 60's.
by the Lee Wah Bank Ltd incorporated some of the most modern banking equipments. It cost $4million. B.M Iversen's firm Iversen, van Sitteren and partners was responsible for the building design and the designer was Peter Vermeer Lee Wah Building is still standing Kuala Lumpur near Petaling street but with a new name. Union Bank.

Lido Theatre, Ipoh
Lido Theatre () is one of the cinemas designed by BM Iversen estimated between 1955 and 1957. Located across the Cockman Street, Ipoh (currently Jalan Dato Onn Jaafar) from the Cathay Theatre. It was demolished by fire and then later renovated and became a snooker center until current.

Legacy of Iversen
The firm Iversen established lives on under the name Pakatan Akitek Sdn Bhd, in Kuala Lumpur, and there are literally hundreds of buildings in the Malayan peninsular from either B.M. Iversen or Iversen, Van Sitteren and Partners. Just as the new nation of Malaysia adopted modern architecture in many of its prominent buildings (the parliament, the airport, the stadia), Iversen brought architectural modernism to the commercial realm. The international style became a force in Southeast Asia in no small part due to Iversen's efforts.

It grows in or near rainforest in isolated parts of tropical North Queensland.

Description
Dendrobium callitrophilum is an epiphytic herb with pseudobulbs  long and  wide. There are one or two thin, leathery leaves  long and  wide. One or two flowering stems  long bear up to six greenish yellow resupinate flowers that become apricot-coloured as they age. The sepals spread widely apart from each other, the dorsal sepal  long, about  wide and the laterals  long and about  wide. The petals are a similar length to the lateral sepals but only about  wide. The labellum is  long,  wide and cream-coloured at first, becoming apricot-coloured with purplish stripes as it ages. The side lobes of the labellum are erect and pointed and the middle lobe turns downwards with three ridges, the central ridge larger and wavy. Flowering occurs from August to September.

Taxonomy and naming
Dendrobium callitrophilum was first formally described in 1989 by Bruce Gray and David Jones from a specimen collected near  Nitchigar Creek, near Tully Falls. The description was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland.

Distribution and habitat
The thin feather orchid grows on trees and shrubs, favouring Callitris macleayana and Austromyrtus species. It grows at altitudes of between  in or near to rainforest in tropical north Queensland.

Conservation
This orchid is listed as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Although some populations of the species are conserved in national parks, it is threatened by land clearing, changed fire regimes and illegal collecting.

title: The Cruise of the Dazzler

text:
The Cruise of the Dazzler is an early novel by Jack London, set in his home city of San Francisco. It is considered a boy's adventure novel.

In the novel, Joe Bronson, dissatisfied with his dull life at school, runs away and joins the crew of a sloop he sees in San Francisco Bay. He finds the captain is involved in criminal activities.

The nautical activities on board a sailing boat are authentically described, and there are convincing descriptions of boats enduring stormy weather at sea.

Background
London, in his autobiographical novel John Barleycorn, describes how in his youth he bought a sloop called the Razzle Dazzle from an oyster pirate called French Frank. In The Cruise of the Dazzler, the captain of the Dazzler is known as French Pete, who, like French Frank, drinks to the success of business ventures. London himself became an oyster pirate.

Story summary
Joe Bronson, instead of studying for a school exam, goes to buy kites with his friends; on their way back he gets involved in fights with gang members in a poor part of the city. After he fails the exam the next day, he walks out of school and takes a ferry across the bay to Oakland. Looking at the boats on the wharf, he imagines the exciting life on a boat.

His father, a businessman, has a liberal attitude to his son; but, critical of his recent behavior and a poor school report, tells him that he might send him to a military academy. Joe later leaves a farewell note for his family; returning to Oakland, he joins the crew of a sloop, the Dazzler. The captain Pete Le Maire is known as "French Pete", and the one other crew member is 'Frisco Kid, a boy of about Joe's age.

He soon realizes that French Pete is involved in criminal activity. They take scrap iron from a factory; the job is abandoned when shots are fired. Later, they work as oyster pirates.

Joe, not wanting to be involved in crime, tries to escape, but each time is thwarted. French Pete tolerates Joe's opinion of him that he is a criminal. 'Frisco Kid tells Joe that he hates his life at sea; he had no family, and once worked for Red Nelson on another sloop, the Reindeer, but ran away. Arrested as a tramp, he was sent to a "boy's refuge", where conditions were intolerable; he escaped and joined French Pete. Joe resolves to leave and take 'Frisco Kid with him.

French Pete and his associate Red Nelson steal a safe. Joe sees that it belongs to his father's company. The Dazzler and Reindeer sail into the Pacific, pursued for a time by a yacht; they intend to sail to Mexico. There is soon a storm and the Dazzler'''s mast breaks. The Reindeer gets close enough for French Pete to jump onto it but, before the boys can follow, the Reindeer disappears under the waves.

The Dazzler'' drifts ashore at Santa Cruz, finding a small wharf on the lower San Lorenzo River. Joe goes to his father's office. His father makes him "feel at once as if not the slightest thing uncommon had occurred. It seemed as if he had just returned from a vacation, or, man-grown, had come back from some business trip." His father, after hearing his story, says that the $5000 reward for the return of the safe would be shared, 'Frisco Kid's half being held in trust for his future.

title: Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery

text:
The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery () is a national historical landmark and museum in Barangay Bambang, Nagcarlan, Laguna supervised by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. It was built in 1845 under the supervision of Franciscan priest, Fr. Vicente Velloc as a public burial site and its underground crypt exclusively for Spanish friars, prominent town citizens and members of elite Catholic families. It is dubbed as the only underground cemetery in the country.

History

Establishment of the Underground Cemetery
Fr. Vicente Velloc supervised the establishment of a cemetery in Nagcarlan in 1845 below Mt. San Cristobal. Unlike the traditional Spanish cemeteries at that time, Fr. Velloc decided to build it away from the town's center. The cemetery is planned to serve as a public resting place for the people of the town while the underground chamber below the chapel of the cemetery will only house remains of Spanish friars and prominent people. It was built together with the construction of the expanded St. Bartholomew Parish Church and rectory. The cemetery is built with a chapel where funeral masses were held and directly below it is an underground crypt.

As Meeting Place during the Revolution
During the Philippine Revolution, the cemetery served as a meeting place of revolutionary leaders of the Katipunan in 1896. Pedro Paterno and Gen. Severino Taiño of the "Maluningning" command held a meeting at the cemetery where they planned the historic Pact of Biak-na-Bato in 1897. It also served as hideout for Filipino leaders during the Philippine–American War and of guerillas in World War II.

Declaration as a Historical Landmark
The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery was declared as a National Historical Landmark by virtue of Presidential Decree no. 260, dated August 1, 1973 with amendments by Administrative Order 1505, dated June 11, 1978. Since the declaration, no more burials were allowed in the cemetery. It underwent renovations before it was again opened to the public during the unveiling of the marker on October 24, 1981. The oldest tomb is dated 1886 while the last interment was in 1982 when it was formally declared as a National Historical Landmark.

Features

The Baroque cemetery is located two kilometers south of downtown Nagcarlan that takes the shape of a circular cemetery across a 1 hectare property. It is surrounded by octagonal stone walls made of red tiles with iron-wrought grills. A façade or arch of about 18 feet high with two iron grill gates leads to a red tiled pathway across a green space leading to the cemetery chapel. The chapel containing a statue of Santo Sepulcro serves as a place for requiem or funeral mass. Located 15 feet below the chapel is an underground graveyard consisting of only 36 tombs arranged in four walls  The crypt and chapel is connected by two flight of steps. The first nine steps lead to a Spanish inscription that reads:

Go forth, Mortal man, full of life Today you visit happily this shelter,But after you have gone out,Remember, you have a resting place here,Prepared for you.

The last six steps lead to the underground crypt.

The cemetery has 240 apartment-type niches on the walls where each side of the chapel contains 120 niches. Overall, there are 276 niches.

Management
The cemetery complex remained as a property of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo. It is supervised and managed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. Currently, no more burials are allowed inside the cemetery. The complex is used for special celebrations such as the Feast of Christ the King and Lent of the local parish and the diocese.

title: Jimmy Waugh

text:
James Waugh (12 August 1898 – 26 March 1968) was an English footballer who played as a centre half. Born in the village of Chopwell in County Durham, Waugh began his career as an amateur with Durham City before spending a brief spell representing his home town club of Chopwell Colliery at  the start of 1921.

It was while at Chopwell that Waugh was spotted by Football League club Sheffield United who signed both Waugh and fellow defender Bill Sampy for a joint fee of £250 in April 1921. Waugh made a slow start to his career with the Blades and did not begin to feature regularly until November 1922, from which point he missed only one of the following 103 first team matches. Waugh was considered to lack pace and this caused him problems from 1925 when the offside rule was changed.  A neck injury prevented Waugh from playing in the 1925 FA Cup Final and after a run of games at the start of the 1925–26 season he lost his place in the side to Seth King. Despite being selected for the FA tour of Canada in the summer of 1926, Waugh was unable to reclaim his place in United's starting eleven and was eventually transferred to Darlington in January 1927 after having made 143 appearances for the Blades and scored three goals.

A success at his new club, Waugh was a regular member of the match day team until 1933, including being ever present during the 1929–30 season. Waugh was part of the coaching staff at Darlington for much of his time there and took up a full-time coaching position once he retired from playing. With his career nearing an end, Sheffield United played a benefit match for Waugh in April 1932 and he later returned to the club to act as a scout from 1934.

title: Paula Jameson

text:
Paula Elizabeth Jameson  is a New Zealand plant physiologist.

Biography
In1982 Jameson was awarded a PhD titled  'A study on the role of cytokinins in the development of starch accumulating structures''' from the University of Canterbury. After working at Otago University and serving as head of department at Massey University, Jameson moved to the  University of Canterbury. Jameson is a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Science and a life member of the New Zealand Society of Plant Physiologists.

 Research
Jameson's work on the genetics of large-seed production has received international coverage. In the 1980s, Jameson gave evidence of her research findings in a controversial case involving the fertiliser Maxicrop. Fertiliser company Bell-Booth Ltd contended that Jameson was on the verge of a major breakthrough of great significance to New Zealand. However, Jameson's results were challenged by international scientists appearing for the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (New Zealand), who determined that the fertiliser would have to be applied at the rate of 98,000 litres/ha to elicit a response. The case was decided against the Ministry because even though the product was likely worthless, no legal basis existed to prevent its marketing. Interviewed later about the case, Jameson said that she
was not keen to revisit "ancient history [and the case] taught me to stand on my own two feet and taught me who my friends were."

 Honours and awards
In 2019, Professor Jameson was awarded the Marsden Medal by the New Zealand Association of Scientists for her work on plant cytokinins, among other work, over her extraordinary scientific career.

In the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, Jameson was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to plant science.

Independent scholars include unaffiliated scholars, adjunct professors and part-time faculty, graduate students, research professionals, artists, and curators. NCIS enables scholars working in the arts, humanities, social sciences and STEM fields to access and share resources, such as library access, and support, which are typically unavailable to researchers who are not affiliated with a university or other institution.

An issue of great concern to independent scholars is the lack of access to libraries and journals, lack of funding, and isolation from the rest of the academic community. NCIS therefore provides discounted access to JSTOR and other academic resources, offers grants for research projects and attending academic conferences, and facilitates networking opportunities such as Facebook and Twitter, discipline-based online groups and local organizations of independent scholars.

NCIS recognizes regional and international partner groups in Europe, the USA and Australia, and is itself an affiliate of the American Historical Association.

History
In the United States, the independent scholarship movement grew in the 1970s in response to the increasing number of scholars who were not affiliated with an academic institution. Following the establishment of several early, regionally based independent scholars' societies such as the Institute for Research in History, the Princeton Research Forum, the Centre for Independent Studies, and the Alliance of Independent Scholars, the independent scholar community recognized the need for a national organization to represent independent scholars' interests on a national level.

In 1986, the San Diego Independent Scholars sponsored a national conference aimed at reaching a consensus for founding a national organization which would communicate with institutions such as federal funding agencies, foundations, and learned societies, to address issues of access to research funding, research facilities, and other resources, as well as to provide a forum for scholarly exchange. Conference attendees expressed the need for a national newsletter and, in 1987, the first issue of The Independent Scholar was published. The first Board of the National Coalition of Independent Scholars was elected in 1988, and the organization was officially incorporated in 1989.

Publications
In 1987, NCIS began publishing a print newsletter, The Independent Scholar, featuring articles by NCIS members, book reviews, announcements, and other news. In 2007 the publication switched to an open-access online platform. The final issue was published in 2014, when the online quarterly was retired and for a short time this was replaced by "TIS Blog". In 2015 an online, peer-reviewed journal was inaugurated. Also entitled The Independent Scholar (TIS) . TIS is an open-access journal through which the work of independent scholars is made available to a worldwide audience. Rigorously peer-reviewed general and themed volumes have since appeared regularly, with articles being published online on acceptance, and then appearing in the subsequent issue.

Grants
NCIS offers two internal grants to support members’ academic activities, inviting applications for conference support grants and research grants three times a year.
In 2016, NCIS honored the late Professor Elizabeth Eisenstein by reviving the Elizabeth Eisenstein Essay Prize. The Eisenstein Prize is awarded for the best essay by an NCIS member. The essay must have been published in a peer-reviewed journal or book within the previous two years.
