title: Robert Smalls School

text:
The Robert Smalls School is a historic school building at 316 Front Street in Cheraw, South Carolina. This single story brick Colonial Revival structure was designed by the Florence firm of Hopkins, Baker & Gill, and completed in 1953. It was part of a development effort by the city to modernize its schools while continuing to provide "separate but equal" education facilities for its African-American citizenry. It served as a public school until the 1990s, and was sold by the city to a nonprofit organization in 2012. It now houses a food pantry and services for at-risk youth. It was named for Robert Smalls.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

title: Fruntimmersskolan i Viborg

text:
Fruntimmersskolan i Viborg (Swedish for: 'The Women's School in Viborg'), also called Töchterschule (German for: 'The Daughters' School'), was a Girls School in Viborg in Russian Finland, active from 1788 until 1937.  It was the first school for females in Finland, and the first public secondary girls' school in the Nordic countries.

History
The school was founded in 1788 in the then Russian city of Viborg as a German school for boys, with a separate class for girls. The model was the Petrischule in Saint Petersburg. In 1805, the girls' school was given its own administration and the German name Töchterschule.  From circa 1800, it came to be regarded as a teachers' training seminary for female teachers, and women who were active as school teachers around Saint Petersburg, Southern Finland and the Baltics were often trained at this school or one of its equivalents in the area. The school was reorganised in 1842 as Fruntimmersskolan i Viborg. It was known by a Swedish name because the Swedish language was the language of the elite in Finland.

After the foundation of this school, several similar schools for girls were founded around Finland modelled after it, such as those in Fredrikshamn, Kexholm and Nyslott.  These schools were all founded in parts of Finland which belonged to Russia at the time.  The first state secondary schools for females in Finland, founded in Åbo and Helsinki in 1844, were modelled after this school. The first principal of the Svenska fruntimmersskolan i Helsingfors, Amelia Ertmann, was a former student of the Fruntimmersskolan i Viborg.

A new building was begun in 1882 and its 125th anniversary was celebrated in 2007.

title: Keros-Syros culture

text:
The Keros-Syros culture is named after two islands in the Cyclades: Keros and Syros. This culture flourished during the Early Cycladic II period (ca 2700-2300 BC) of the Cycladic civilization. The trade relations of this culture spread far and wide from the Greek mainland to Crete and Asia Minor.

Periodization
Colin Renfrew has proposed an Early Cycladic subdivision into Grotta-Pelos, Keros-Syros, Kastri, and Phylakopi I periods.

After the Keros-Syros culture, Kastri culture is believed to follow, although this view is not accepted by all. Some researchers in Europe believe that Keros-Syros and Kastri cultures belong to the same phase. Also, sometimes Kastri culture is designated as Kastri/Lefkandi I, because of the similarities with the Greek mainland 'Lefkandi I' phase.

Important sites

Keros-Syros culture is well represented by numerous cemeteries on Amorgos (notably Dokathismata) and Naxos (Aplomata, Spedos).

Some of the best preserved sites of this culture are at Kea and Ios, located not far from Keros.

One of the important sites of this culture is Chalandriani at Syros.

Some of the important artifacts of this culture are the so-called "Frying pans" – shallow circular vessels or bowls with a decorated base. They are found especially during the Cycladic Grotta-Pelos and Keros-Syros cultures. It has been suggested that when filled with water they were used as mirrors.

Use of metal
The use of metal became widespread during this period. In all the settlements there were found grave goods in the form of daggers, and also tools such as chisels, tweezers and fishhooks. Also fibulae (brooches) were made of bronze and silver.

Keros-Syros culture is clearly seen as the successor of Grotta-Pelos.

The trade relations of Keros-Syros culture are widespread. They range from the Greek mainland to Crete, where the Cycladic figurines were exported, and imitated by the local artists. Also, the trade went as far as the Asia Minor. Finds at Troy, in the periods of Troy I and Troy II, were also made.

title: Gabonese National Unity Party

text:
The Gabonese National Unity Party (, PUNGA; Punga being the Eshira word for 'tornado') was a small Marxist political party based in Nyanga Province in Gabon. The party drew support from functionaries in the newly established public administration.

History
The party was founded on 20 August 1958, and was led by René-Paul Sousatte and Jean-Jacques Boucavel, who had broken away from the Gabonese Democratic and Social Union two days earlier. The founders of PUNGA also included Louis M'Vey (of the CGAT trade union movement), Valentin Mihindou, Martin Longa (municipal councillor, BDG member), Henri Moundounga (in charge of the cabinet of the minister of Public Works) and Jean-Félix Lassy (in-charge of the cabinet of the minister of Public Functions). Sousatte served as the chairman of the party, Boucavel as vice chairman, Mihindou as secretary and Marcel Sandoungou as joint secretary.

PUNGA advocated immediate independence from French colonial rule, and called for a 'no' vote in the September 1958 referendum, which would have resulted in independence. At the time PUNGA, which was itself born in the midst of the preparations of the referendum, was the sole political force in the country that advocated this position. As an alternative to French domination, the party was open to the creation of a confederation of free and equal states. PUNGA had the backing of the Gabonese Action Movement, a Gabonese student organization in Metropolitan France.

Ultimately only 15,244 of the 190,334 voters voted 'No'. Following the referendum the influence of the party decreased.

In spite of the radical positions of the party, Sousatte turned against the French Communist Party. This development led to a split between him and M'Vey. In 1962 Sousatte was named Minister of Agriculture.

title: Pietro degli Ingannati

text:
Pietro degli Ingannati, also Pellegrino di Giovanni di Antonio, (active 1529–1548) was an Italian Renaissance painter who is known for his paintings of the Virgin and Child and his portraits.

Life and work
Ingannati's exact dates of birth and death are not known. Ingannati was probably born in Veneto. The importance of the artist has only relatively recently been recognized as his work used to be confused with that Francesco Bissolo, an artist who also worked in a style reminiscent of Giovanni Bellini. He trained in the studio of Alvise Vivarini.

His early works show the influence of Giovanni Bellini, especially in the composition, although his art is closer to artists like Lazzaro Bastiani, Marco Basaiti or Benedetto Rusconi. Later, his style became closer to that of Bellini, approaching the way of painting of Vincenzo Catena and showing the superficial influence of innovations introduced by Giorgione.

Ingannati returned often to the theme of the Sacra Conversazione, which is a depiction of the Virgin and Child (the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus) surrounded by a group of saints.  This motif was typical of Venetian painting and had been popularized by Titian.  Ingannati's many representations of this theme included repetitive patterns, especially in the figures.

Artists like Ingannati and Rocco Marconi remained attached to an archaic style that copied the essence but not the innovations of the most advanced Venetian masters such as Francesco Vecellio or Palma Vecchio, without losing the taste for the classic color of the Venetian school.

title: Andrew Dallmeyer

text:
Andrew Dallmeyer (10 January 1945 – 21 May 2017) was a Scottish playwright, theatre director and actor. He wrote over 75 plays, including the Opium Eater and directed more than 50 productions. His plays have won a number of awards, including a Scottish BAFTA, and they have been played on BBC Radio.

Some of Dallmeyer's plays have been considered controversial, for example Wanted: Dead or Alive which focused on Osama bin Laden's motives and was released on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Some of his other plays celebrate the life and works of historical figures such as John Muir and Salvador Dalí. As an actor, Dallmeyer had a recurring role in Scottish cult comedy, Rab C. Nesbitt.

Early life
Dallmeyer was born on 10 January 1945 in St Boswells in Roxburghshire, Scotland. He spent most of his childhood in Aberlady, East Lothian where he was a keen Hibernian F.C. supporter (later inspiring his interest to write Playing a Blinder). Dallmeyer learnt drama at the Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art, London. His father served in the British Army during the Second World War and was twice awarded the Distinguished Service Order.

Career

Dallmeyer, described as a veteran actor and playwright, began his theatre work in the 1960s as an actor in Bristol Old Vic and Nottingham Playhouse performances. At the age of 26 he was the artistic director at Liverpool Playhouse, although he didn't enjoy it and instead wanted to focus on writing his own plays. He subsequently directed many productions at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, Sheffield Crucible, Dundee Rep, Leeds Playhouse and several more.

As a playwright, Dallmeyer has written over 75 plays despite admitting he is unable to type and has directed over 50 productions. He was commissioned by the Baron of Prestongrange and has written a number of plays for him. He won three Fringe First awards as well as a BAFTA Scotland Award for the Best Radio Play of 1985 in Scotland. In 1982, The Times pointed out that he was able to put on three separate successful Fringe shows each year. Much of Dallmeyer's work has not been published or put into print and therefore he holds the only copy of many plays.

1980s

The Opium Eater, based on Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey, has had more than a dozen performances across the United Kingdom. The play was published by Capercaillie Books, made into a television production (featuring Peter Mullan) and a radio version directed by Stewart Conn.
The radio play won a BAFTA award equivalent in 1985. Dallmeyer believes The Opium Eater is somewhat autobiographical in nature as it is about a writer trying to find inspiration. He went on to state that "I don't think I'm that neurotic. I'm quite steady, really, mentally. You have to be in this job." Martin Cropper reviewed the show in The Times as one of the best he had seen at a fringe theatre. The Opium Eater won awards and was adapted for radio.

The Boys in the Backroom was part of a series of plays, produced by Salamander Press, called The Traverse Plays. The plays were written in celebration of Scottish playwrights and Dallmeyer's play was fifth in the series. The play was performed in theatres across America covering 10 cities including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Pittsburgh. It was reviewed in The Times as a conspiracy story which "markets its paranoia through outsize performances". Following a performance in Los Angeles in 1987 it reviewed by the Los Angeles Times as "sophomoric and forgettable." It has also been performed by students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

His one-man show, titled Hello Dali, based on artist Salvador Dalí won a Fringe First award and has previously starred Sylvester McCoy and Neil Cunningham. It has been performed in many countries including: Scotland, England, United States, Belgium, Spain, France, and the Netherlands. The play was described as a "scatological, emotional and artistic biography".

In 1986, Dallmeyer wrote The Grand Edinburgh Fire Balloon as a piece of commissioned work for the Royal Lyceum Theatre. Based on the story of the first man to fly in Britain; James Tytler was a pioneer with the development of the hot air balloon. Despite the Lyceum being praised for commissioning a new play with regional importance the play itself received some poor feedback. The Times reporter Sarah Hemmings viewed the play to be "rather monotonous" and "static", though she also said that the "Scenes that do take off are fascinating." John Peter of the Sunday Times reported that the acting was below standard.

2000s

Dallmeyer wrote and performed in his controversial 50-minute one-man play, Wanted Dead or Alive, in which Osama bin Laden is Santa Claus in a shopping mall. It was released on the first September 11th attacks anniversary and attempts to explain possible reasons for Osama bin Laden's anger towards America. The performance prompted complaints from the US consulate and Dallmeyer received death threats and abusive phone calls. There were calls from Scottish Parliament member, Brian Monteith, to boycott the performance. Dallmeyer defended the play, stating "I am not trying to create a sensation; it is just that I feel the piece is strong". The play featured "strongly anti-American sentiments and condemns United States foreign policy" and despite the backlash Dallmeyer has performed it over 100 times.

His stage play, Playing a Blinder, which attempted to re-create the 1940 Edinburgh Derby's New Year's Day match, in which the commentator improvised what was happening on the pitch due to severe fog, was aired in 2002 on BBC Radio 4. The cast included Andy Gray and Gavin Mitchell.
The play took Dallmeyer two years to create and due to their being no recordings of the event he had to "imagine how it might have sounded".

Dallmeyer wrote the musical Burns Supper, in collaboration with composer David Todd, inspired by the bard Robert Burns. They then donated the script to schools around the country and a competition was held, in conjunction with charity 'First Scottish Film Features', to find the best school performance. Some of the work was then presented at the Fringe festival.

2010s

Dallmeyer wrote the play Thank God for John Muir based on the life of John Muir and specifically based on the period in Muir's life when an industrial accident left him blind. It was reviewed in 2011 as an "emotional and sensory journey", yet Alan Chadwick, from The Herald, described it as "too static" and the ending was "underwhelming". The play was scheduled to be a part of the 2015 John Muir celebrations in East Lothian.

title: Ponale road

text:
The Ponale road, Ponale highway or lately Alpine trail D 01 is a former highway that was the first road connection between the Garda Lake area and the Ledro valley.

History
It was constructed by Giacomo Cis between 1848 and 1851 in the steep north-western ranges of the Garda Lake. The road suffered from regular landslides, so a separate road tunnel has been built in 1998. Since then the road had been officially closed, but has been popular by hikers and mountain-bikers. In 2000 another landslide happened with various casualties, so the road had been closed again. Due to the immense popularity of the track with impressive views of the lake and its tunnels it has been reopened after investing €820.000  in 2004.

The old rest station above the Ponale valley is reopened since June 2014.

title: Osmani Nagar Upazila

text:
Osmani Nagar () is an upazila of Sylhet District in the Division of Sylhet, Bangladesh.

Etymology
“Osmani Nagar” is a compound of two words, Osmani and nagar (city), which literally means “the city of Osmani”. Osmani Nagar was named in honour of General Muhammad Ataul Gani Osmani, the commander-in-chief of Mukti Bahini during Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.

History
Osmani Nagar was previously part of historic Aurangapur Pargana. Following the Conquest of Sylhet in 1303, Shah Jalal instructed his disciples to spread out and propagate Islam. Five pirs, among whom Shah Gabru is most well-known, set up a hujra south of Banaiya Haor in a Hindu village. Many Hindu families embraced Islam due to their efforts and Gabru eventually married into one of the families and the village was named after him as Gabhurteki. Other disciples of Shah Jalal that contributed to the spread of Islam in present-day Osmani Nagar include Nizamuddin Osmani in Dayamir, Shah Sulayman Karani Qurayshi in Karanshi and Shah Jalaluddin in Khushkipur (Korua). The tombs of Shah Siddiq, Shah Garib and Usman Baghdadi can be found in Osmanpur Union. Similarly, Shah Mustafa also passed by the village of Tilapara (in Mukhtarpur, Burunga Union) with a group of Muslims on the way to Chandrapur (modern-day Moulvibazar). They rested under a large tree near a pond situated in the home of a Hindu family of Brahmins (priests). It was customary for this family to give offerings under the tree everyday for their Devatas satisfaction. According to tradition, the priest and his wife had dreamed of the Devata going away and when the family refused to let it go, they said the truth has come, we have no right to stay. Waking up from the dream, they went towards the tree and saw three respectful men. The Brahmin priest had a friendly discussion with them, and accepted Islam. The news of his conversion spread across the area and many more people converted to Islam on that day. On the evening of Mustafa's departure, he entrusted the new converts to one of his murids (disciples).

Shah Tajuddin, a companion of Shah Kamal Quhafah, migrated to village of Gauharpur after arriving in Sylhet in 1315 CE.

Osmani Nagar thana was established with eight Union Parishads of Balaganj on 23 March 2001. On 2 June 2014, the thana was turned into an upazila.

Osmani Nagar is famous for providing fierce fighters during the Bangladesh Liberation War, 1971, with General Osmani being a notable figure.

First Upazilla Nirbhahi Officer:
First Upazilla Nirbhahi Officer was Mr. Mohammad Showkat Ali. He joined at Osmaninagar Upazilla as the first Upazilla Nirbhahi Officer on 13 July 2015.

Geography
Osmani Nagar Upazila has a total area of . It borders Bishwanath and Dakshin Surma upazilas to the north, Balaganj Upazila to the east and south, and Nabiganj and Jagannathpur upazilas, of Habiganj District and Sunamganj District respectively, to the west.

Demographics
According to the 2011 Bangladesh census, the eight union parishads that now make up Osmani Nagar Upazila had 34,286 households and a population of 201,354, none of whom lived in urban areas. 11.4% of the population was under the age of 5. The literacy rate (age 7 and over) was 50.3%, compared to the national average of 51.8%.

Administration
Osmani Nagar Upazila is divided into eight union parishads: Burungabazar, Dayamir, Goula Bazar, Osmanpur, Sadipur, Tajpur, Umarpur, and West Poilanpur. The union parishads are subdivided into 129 mauzas and 295 villages.

Daniel Curtis Cross Jr. (born August 16, 1973) is an American retired basketball player.  Cross played college basketball for the Florida Gators men's basketball team of the University of Florida, where he was key member of the Gators' run to the 1994 NCAA Final Four.  After college, Cross played professionally in several countries, including a stint in Italy's Serie A.

Cross was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in Carbondale, Illinois.  He is the oldest of the five children of Daniel Cross, Sr. and Lillian Cross.  He attended Carbondale Community High School, where he played for the Carbondale Terriers high school basketball team, and led the Terriers to the state championship game.

Cross accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Lon Kruger's Florida Gators men's basketball team from 1991 to 1995.  Cross shared time with upperclassmen at the point guard position during his freshman and sophomore seasons, starting 20 games in 1991–92, and twelve of the last fourteen in 1992–93; he became a consistent starter at the outset of his 1993–94 junior year.  Memorably, he led the team with 20 points in their 59–57 upset of the No. 7 Kentucky Wildcats, and he scored 24 points (including six 3-pointers) in the Gators' 88–64 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks in 1994.  Cross was a key performer and team leader, emotionally and statistically, in the Gators' run to their first-ever NCAA Final Four in 1994.  In the 1994 NCAA Tournament first-round game, Cross drove the lane to make a high-arcing layup with seven seconds left to defeat the James Madison Dukes 64–62, so that the Gators could advance.  Paced by Cross, center Andrew DeClercq, and fellow guard Craig Brown, the Gators then dispatched the Penn Quakers (70–58), the Connecticut Huskies (69–60, OT), and the Boston College Eagles (74–68), before falling to the Duke Blue Devils 70–65 in the hard-fought NCAA national semifinal game.

Cross had a 27-point scoring performance while leading the Gators' 81–70 victory over the No. 21 Wake Forest Demon Deacons at the outset of the 1994–95 season.  He was the Gators' leading scorer in 1993–94 (15.7 points per game) and again in 1994–95 (18.0 points per game), and led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in free throw completion percentage in 1995 (.843, 150–178).  He was a two-time first-team All-SEC selection (1994, 1995), received Associated Press honorable mention All-American honors twice (1994, 1995), and was a senior team captain (1995).

Cross returned to the University of Florida to complete his bachelor's degree in telecommunications in 2000, and was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 2006.  In 2008, he was honored as one of the "Legends of SEC Basketball."

After concluding his college career, Cross played professionally for several top-tier teams in Europe and developmental leagues in the United States, including Serapide Pozzuoli of Italy's Lega Basket Serie A, the Sioux Falls Skyforce and Connecticut Pride of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), Espoon Honka of Finland's Korisliiga, and Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.

Cross now runs annual basketball camps in Carbondale, Gainesville and Orlando, as well as managing an organization called "Athlete Connections" that counsels former college athletes on transitioning from college to life after sports.

title: Fariburz

text:
Fariburz, known in Byzantine sources as Phabrizus (), was a 6th-century Iranian military officer from the Mihran family, who served under the Sasanian king Khosrau I (r. 531–579).

Biography
He was the brother of the diplomat and military officer Izadgushasp. The Byzantine historian Procopius describes them as: "both holding most important offices ... and at the same time reckoned to be the basest of all Persians, having a great reputation for their cleverness and evil ways."

In 548, Fariburz was ordered by Khosrau I to transport the Byzantine prisoners of war captured in the ongoing Lazic War to Iran, where they were to be settled. Some time later, Fariburz, along with another Iranian officer named Pharsanses, at the head of a small army numbering 300, marched to Lazica, where they planned to assassinate the vassal king Gubazes II. However, Pharsanses betrayed the Sasanians and revealed the plan to Gubazes, after which both defected to the Byzantine camp.

Fariburz then instructed the Sasanian garrison of the Lazic fortress of Petra to prepare for a Byzantine siege, and returned to the Sasanian capital of Ctesiphon with his troops. In 549, Fariburz, along with three other commanders and an army numbering 5,000 men, were left in the garrison in Petra by Mihr-Mihroe. However, in a surprise attack, the Byzantine military officer Dagisthaeus and Gubazes managed to defeat Fariburz, who along with the rest of the survivors fled from the country.

In 550, Fariburz suppressed the rebellion of Khosrau's eldest son Anoshazad, and then along with his brother Izadgushasp left Iran on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople. Nothing more is known about Fariburz.

title: Matthew Pittinsky

text:
Matthew Pittinsky is an American technology entrepreneur, educator and academic. He is the CEO of Parchment and a co-founder of Blackboard Inc. Pittinsky is also affiliated with Arizona State University as an assistant research professor.

Early life

The youngest of four children, Matthew Pittinsky grew up in a family of educators. His father worked as a university administrator, and was the president of the local school board. Pittinsky's mother was a teacher at a public elementary school.

As a child, Pittinsky was interested in technology and used his family's Atari 800 computer to program in BASIC and later learned to program on an Atari 1040st. He was also active in Boy Scouts, earning the rank of Eagle Scout.
Pittinsky wanted to become a teacher from an early age, though he initially struggled as a student and had to repeat failed classes in summer school. After high school, he attended American University with the goal of becoming a social studies teacher. At American, Pittinsky served as student body president his senior year. He graduated in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in political science.
While at American, Pittinsky met Michael Chasen, who would later become his business partner. The two met after Pittinsky borrowed a printer from Chasen. They later became roommates and fraternity brothers.
After graduating from American, Pittinsky earned a Master's of Education in 1995 from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Career

Early career

While at Harvard, Pittinsky developed software for online college admissions applications with Chasen. They called the venture Search and Apply Group. Pittinsky and Chasen were unable to sell the idea to universities and later abandoned the project.

In 1995, Pittinsky took a job at KPMG Peat Marwick as a higher education consultant. Chasen was hired by KPMG the following year and together they created technology solutions for universities. In 1996, while jogging along the Charles River near Harvard, Pittinsky had the idea to create online software for course instruction.

Pittinsky and Chasen left KPMG to start Blackboard in 1997. They used computers loaned from their boss and also stole desk chairs by using them to move the borrowed computers out of the office.

Blackboard Inc

Pittinsky founded Blackboard LLC, with Chasen in 1997. At the time of the company’s foundation, it operated as a consulting group to the IMS e-Learning standards project, where Pittinsky was an early member. In 1998, Blackboard LLC merged with CourseInfo LLC, an online learning software company developed by Cornell University students Stephen Gilfus and Daniel Cane, to create Blackboard Inc. CourseInfo had already developed a product and found a market fit by selling to 15 premier institutions. The company renamed CourseInfo's Interactive Learning Network Product into Blackboard CourseInfo.

Between 1997 and 2008, Pittinsky served in several roles at the company, including chairman and CEO, co-CEO, and executive chairman. He was responsible for building the Blackboard brand along with Chasen through conferences, list-serves, marketing and networking. Pittinsky also shaped corporate strategy and product strategy, and oversaw the company’s relations with the education community.

In 2002, while at Blackboard, Pittinsky co-wrote and edited a book called The Wired Tower on e-learning and the internet's impact on education.
Pittinsky helped take Blackboard public in June 2004. The first day of trading raised US$70 million for the company, becoming the second most successful technology IPO of the year.

Academia

Pittinsky left Blackboard in 2008 after completing his Ph.D. in Sociology of Education from Columbia University through Teachers College. After earning his Ph.D., he was hired as an assistant professor of sociology at Arizona State University in January 2009. His academic research specialized in economic sociology, sociology of education, and social network analysis.

While at Arizona State, Pittinsky created a research project that used data collected from student ID cards to track student transactions and understand student social and academic activities.
As of March 2014, Pittinsky is still affiliated with Arizona State as an assistant research professor.

Parchment

While at Blackboard, Pittinsky became interested in creating a company to help users manage academic credentials. He was later introduced to Docufide, a company founded in 2003 that specialized in the online transfer of academic transcripts from high schools to colleges and universities.

In January 2011, Pittinsky invested in Docufide and was hired as the company's CEO. In April 2011, the company rebranded as Parchment and Pittinsky helped launch Parchment.com, the company's consumer site, later that year.

Under Pittinsky's leadership, the platform has grown from 800,000 users in 2011 to approximately 1.6 million users in 2014. He has led the company through three rounds of financing which, as of March 2014, have brought in a total of $45 million in investments.
He has also helped expand Parchment's services to allow users to store and transfer transcripts, use academic data such as test scores and GPA to find matching institutions, and determine their likelihood of acceptance.

During his time at Parchment,  became an advocate for the adoption of Postsecondary Achievement Reports (PAR), which are documents that include both traditional academic records, such as grades, and information about student's development and learning experiences.

Awards and recognition

title: Alliance for Peace and Democracy (Hong Kong)

text:
The Alliance for Peace and Democracy (, formerly , literally: "The Protect-Universal Suffrage and Anti-Occupy Central Alliance") is a pro-Beijing political group based in Hong Kong. It was founded on 3 July 2014 by members of the pro-Beijing alliance including 40 pro-Beijing groups and scholars, many of whom are also members of the pro-Beijing group Silent Majority for Hong Kong, and was backed by the pro-Beijing Parties Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and The New People's Party.

The Alliance was established to counter the Occupy Central movement, and it received widespread media attention when it launched a month-long signature campaign for people who oppose the Occupy Central Movement, which lasted from 19 July to 17 August 2014. The campaign claimed it had collected over a million signatures supporting the campaign, although questions were raised over credibility of the number of signatures collected. Despite the Alliance's efforts, the Occupy Central movement commenced officially on 27 September 2014, giving rise to the 2014 Hong Kong protests which was severely criticised by the Alliance. The Alliance also admitted that they underestimated the impact of the movement.

The Alliance subsequently launched a second signature campaign after the commencement of the Occupy Central movement, demanding protesters to "free our roads" and to "restore law and order". It lasted from 25 October 2014 to 2 November 2014. A third signature campaign was held by the alliance after the Occupy Central movement from 9 May 2015 to 17 May 2015, amassing support for the 2014–15 Hong Kong electoral reform.

First Signature campaign
On 19 July 2014, the Alliance launched a signature campaign for "people who support democracy and universal suffrage, but oppose violence and the Occupy Central Movement" (). According to the Alliance's spokesman Robert Chow, the Alliance aims to collect at least 800,000 signature, likely an attempt to top the nearly 790,000 votes cast in Occupy Central's unofficial referendum held in June 2014. On 2 August 2014, the Alliance further launched an online platform to collect signatures from people who oppose Occupy Central's campaign.

The authority official endorsements include chief executive CY Leung and other top Hong Kong officials, including Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie Lam, Secretary for Food and Health Ko Wing-man, Secretary for Labour and Welfare Matthew Cheung, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Gregory So and Secretary for Development Paul Chan. The Alliance claimed it had collected over 1.5 million signatures at the end of the campaign.

Media and individuals, especially those support the pro-democracy camp, have questioned the credibility of the signature campaign. They have noted that no measures were put in place to prevent repeated signatures in the campaign, as people who sign will be asked for only the letter and first four digits of their HKID cards. According to some press reports, employees might have faced pressure to sign petition forms that were being circulated by department heads in some companies, including Town Gas, a major public utility.

"Run for Peace and Democracy" before parade
The Alliance held a 3.2-km "Run for Peace and Democracy" as a prelude to the Anti-"Occupy Central" Parade from Victoria Park to the Chater Road in Central. The Alliance had called for 10,000 people to take part in the fun run. On 17 August 2014, the organisers claimed 1,500 participants took part in the race, while the police estimated 880.

Anti-"Occupy Central" parade

Culminating their petition campaign, the Alliance held an anti-"Occupy Central" parade on 17 August 2014, where participants will be able to dedicate kapok (Bombax ceiba) flowers at Chater Garden or Statue Square to show their discontent towards the Occupy Central Movement, their desire for peace in Central as well as their support for universal suffrage. The alliance declared that over 320 organisations and groups had pledged to join the rallies, and they expected a turnout of 50,000 to 60,000.

The Alliance initially claimed that 193,000 people took part in the parade, but it later changed the figure to 250,000, while the Hong Kong police set the figure at 111,800 and the University of Hong Kong Public Opinion Programme put the maximum number of participants at 88,000.

Controversies
After the rally, media reports claiming that the anti-Occupy Central movement engaged in "rent-a-protester" to boost numbers at the rally, surfaced. The Alliance and its allies were accused of offering people; cash, free-meals and pecuniary benefits in an attempt to boost the turnout at the Anti-Occupy Central Parade. The media reported that the groups had put on cross-border transport to bring in marchers and that as many as 20,000 people may have been bussed in from across the border. Robert Chow, the spokesman of the Alliance, responded that he saw nothing improper in distributing lunch boxes to groups joining the parade as a token of thanks.

Video footage showing people "being paid" to take part in the parade were captured by the media.

Cable TV faces legal action over report
The Alliance for Peace and Democracy said one of its groups will take legal action against Cable TV. The station had reported some people appeared to have been paid to take part in Sunday's mass anti-Occupy Central march, which was organised by the Alliance. The Alliance said the Hong Kong Youth Association denied the claim and people filmed accepting money were not members. It also accused Cable TV of dishonest editing, a charge the broadcaster has dismissed.

Chow said it had found that a subsidiary of another group, the Hong Kong Hakka Associations, had paid people to join the march. He said the 200 people involved had been deleted from the Alliance's estimated turnout for the rally, which stands at more than 190,000. Undercover reporters also filed reports of payments of HK$200–$350 ($25–45) and other gifts of food items as inducements being made to participants by various organising sub-groups.

In response to this, Hong Kong Youth Association, one of the groups filmed by reporters, threatened Cable TV News with legal action over the "dishonest editing", implying it had used imposters. The Alliance itself initially stonewalled and denied anybody had been paid, and accused media of fabricating reports. Chow later admitted that Hong Kong Hakka Associations had paid people to join the march, and pledged to cross out 200 paid individuals from the estimated turnout of the parade. The Alliance further admitted that a subsidiary of one of its member groups, the General Association of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies, had also paid people varying amounts of cash to join the match.

Class boycott database

In response to the 2014 NPCSC decision, Hong Kong Federation of Students and the student pro-democracy pressure group Scholarism planned to stage a co-ordinated class boycott in Hong Kong and organise public events, including street assemblies. To ward off a massive mobilisation, the APD set up a telephone hotline with the objective of collecting data on high school students who participate in the boycott to "save underaged youths from being exploited". Chow said that the information would be passed on to the boycotters' schools, PTAs and the education bureau, and threatened to make the information public.

Federation of Students secretary general denounced the Alliance hotline as "white terror, political persecution and fear-mongering trying to pressure the parents and a violation of privacy". The denunciations hotline received strong criticism from the education sector. Ip Kin-yuen, representing the education sector in LegCo, condemned the alliance for pressuring the schools and as well as students, and urged educators to uphold students' rights to freedom speech. Headmasters of Shatin Tsung Tsin Secondary School, among others, said there was no need for the alliance to notify them of boycotters' names, saying that he knew who they were and that they had his blessing. The headmaster of Diocesan Boys' School said the affairs of its students on the school's own turf need not be the concern of others. The school principals expressed trust in and respect for their students. In its editorial, Ming Pao strongly criticised the Cultural Revolution-style intelligence-gathering on individuals for political purposes as "highly divisive". It said that it was difficult to see from any angle how such a campaign had any benefit, the effects of this political intervention by the alliance on Hong Kong and within school campuses can only be adverse and highly destructive. Secretary for Education said on 10 September that the Education Bureau would liaise with relevant schools upon information of boycotts, and would offer assistance as required by the schools. After receiving complaints from teaching unions, the office of the Privacy Commissioner said that there was "no evidence to suggest that the alliance has applied unlawful and misleading means" to acquire the personal data, but reminded the APD to abide by its obligations under the ordinance. In the meantime, the alliance temporarily suspended the operation of its telephone hotline, blaming it on the deluge of prank calls, but invited the public to continue to submit their denunciations by fax or email. An editorial in The Standard said the hotline was "riddled with fault", and suggested that the alliance shut down the line definitively.

Subsequent signature campaigns
The Alliance held a second signature campaign, from 25 October 2014 to 2 November 2014, for a petition that seek to "support our police, free our roads; restore law and order" in Hong Kong. Like its first signature campaign, questions were raised over the credibility of this second campaign. The alliance had claimed that there were 1.83 million signatures.

The Alliance subsequently changed its Chinese name to  (literally: "The Protect-Universal Suffrage and Anti-violence Alliance") on 5 May 2015 after the 2014 Hong Kong protests to reflect its change in aim from anti-Occupy Central to anti-Gau wu and anti-Hong Kong independence movement which, according to the Alliance, constituted acts of violence. Its English name remained unchanged. The Alliance subsequently held a third signature campaign from 9 May 2015 to 17 May 2015 to amass support for democracy in Hong Kong and the 2014–15 Hong Kong electoral reform () and to voice opposition to the ongoing filibustering in Hong Kong (). The campaign also encouraged Hong Kong citizens to register as voters (). The alliance claimed that 1.21 million signatures were received.

In response to the Hong Kong Legislative Council oath-taking controversy, the Alliance changed its Chinese name again, this time to  (literally: "The Anti-Sinophobia and Anti-Hong Kong Independence Alliance") on 24 October 2016, and launched an online petition condemning Youngspiration legislator Yau Wai-ching for her slurs. The alliance claimed 24,000 people signed the petition.

title: Walter Wu

text:
Walter Wu (born 14 August 1972) is an S13 classified Canadian swimmer who has competed and set records at the 1996, 2000, and 2004 Summer Paralympics. He won 14 Paralympic medals before retiring in 2004 after the Athens Paralympic Games. His accolades included selection as torch bearer, member of the Terry Fox Hall of Fame, and BC Disabled Athlete of the Year. He has spent time as a public speaker to local schools since retirement from active sports competition.

Personal life
Walter Wu was born on 14 August 1972 in Richmond, British Columbia. He is classified as S13 because of optic nerve dysfunction, meaning that he is considered to be legally blind. At the age of eight, he moved to Richmond, British Columbia where he still resides today. After trying a variety of sports, Wu finally settled with swimming. He wanted to swim "because it was an individual sport; if
you fail it's because of yourself; if you excel it's because of yourself" Wu said. Since retiring from competition in 2004,

Wu has given a speech at a local school part of the RCMP's Sports Event which brings athletes to schools to give inspiration. Wu also has a part-time job at Home Depot which he has been sponsored. He worked three years in the phone centre and has been doing shipping and receiving work since 2004. He won the BC Disabled Athlete of the Year, was featured in the Terry Fox Hall of Fame and was a torchbearer at the 2010 Winter Paralympics. He added that "He is humbled and proud of that honour as well."

Career
Walter Wu is a S13 classified swimmer. He competed in three Paralympic Games, retiring after the 2004 Athens Games. He said, "I miss competing, traveling and making international friends, but I don't miss the grueling training."

1996 Paralympics
At the age of 24, Wu won six gold and one bronze medals, breaking two World Records and two Paralympic Records, and becoming Canada's most decorated athlete of the games. He set the world records in the 200-metre individual medley (2:19.83) and 100-metre backstroke (1:05.55). After he won, he said, "That was an incredible feeling. It's not quite the rush of riding on a roller coaster, but standing on the podium when they play the national anthem chokes you up. It makes you proud that the hard work has paid off."

2000 Paralympics
A shoulder injury of his right shoulder caused Wu trouble in early 2000, three months before the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. Wu's coach, Craig McCord, played a key role in Wu's return to form. Wu said, "In some ways I think he has more confidence in me that I have... He was always under the impression I was going to do well at the Olympic trials and time-wise it was one of my best events ever." After being selected to compete at the 2000 Paralympic Games, Wu won five medals in Sydney, including golds in the 100m backstroke and the 100m butterfly, silvers in the 400m freestyle and the 200m individual medley, and a bronze in the 100m freestyle.

2004 Paralympics
Still suffering from another shoulder injury that occurred in 2003, Wu was not expected to compete in the 400m freestyle, but he made the decision to participate, telling his coach, "if I have to go to hospital to win this race, I am willing to do it." He ended up winning the gold medal, coming first. He did not need to go to the hospital but did require medical treatment for 25 minutes after he finished. Other than his gold medal, he also won two more silver medals in 100m backstroke and 200m individual medley.

title: Thriyacharya

text:
Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madhvacharya are considered to be the pillars of Vedantic tradition of spiritual India.

Shankaracharya proposed or rather popularized Advaitha Vedanta. Advaitha system of Vedanta was first proposed by Gaudapada who was the Guru of Shankaracharya's Guru Govinda Bhagavatpada. Advaitha means non-dual.

Ramanujacharya had a totally different experience than Shankaracharya. During the time of Ramanuja, followers of Advaitha tradition in Tamil Nadu had distorted the teachings of Shankaracharya so much that Ramanuja started correcting them.

Madhvacharya took to explaining Prasthanatraya in the light of Dvaitha philosophy that is philosophically against Advaitha and Vishishtadvaitha.

THRIYACHARYA
These Thriyacharya (Sankara, Ramanuja and Madhva)  are the veritable gifts of time, in their chronological order of birth, and more for their painstaking interpretation of the Upanishads in showing us the path for the Realization, that is to say, the Jnana Kanda (mainly dealing with Brahmavidya) parts which constitute the Vedanta. All these descended to our Rishis and Munis of yore, in their Turiatheeth condition of transcendental mind, and were further transferred, by words of mouth or in the vibratory level, into their disciples/associates. The Vedanta thus signifies this Devavani from the above. What emanated, in elucidation of this Devavani, from these Thriyacharya- howsoever renowned they are-could at best be identified as their own Siddanta, i.e., as personal treatise only. It augers well, therefore, to call their (Sankara, Ramanuja and Madhva) treatises as pertaining to their respective Siddanta only, viz., Advaitha Siddanta (not Advaitha Vedanta), Vishishtadvaitha Siddanta(not Vishishtadvaitha Vedanta) and Dvaitha Siddanta(not Dvaitha Vedanta). When once this forms our informed premise in understanding these three Great Acharyas, we. may be in a better position to appreciate each of them as 'Tatvadarshi', in their own true lights

title: Port Royal School

text:
The Port Royal School is a historic South Carolina school building. It is located at 1214 Paris Avenue in the town of Port Royal.  Its original main block is a two-story Colonial Revival structure designed by Wilson and Sompayrac and built in 1911.  In 1954 a single-story brick Modern addition was added to the north of this building; it was designed by William Harleston of Halsey & Cummings.  A second addition was made in 2002, further extending the 1954 building to the north.  The building is believed to be the second-oldest active elementary school building in the state.  It also contributed to the area's checkered history of the provision of so-called "separate but equal" educational facilities for whites and African Americans: the 1954 addition occurred at a time when the last elementary school for African Americans in Port Royal was closed, requiring the transportation of those students to Beaufort.  The Port Royal School remained whites-only until 1964.

The school was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
