title: Rufus River massacre

text:
The Rufus River Massacre was a massacre of 30–40 Aboriginal people that took place in 1841 along the Rufus River, in the Central Murray region, after three consecutive ambushes with "overlanders" (stock drovers) on the recently opened overland stock route, which followed an old Aboriginal route. The massacre occurred after an official party, including Protector of Aborigines, Matthew Moorhouse, along with police, was sent out by the Governor of South Australia, George Grey.

Background
The short Rufus River connects Lake Victoria, New South Wales with the Murray River, very close to both the current borders with Victoria to the south and South Australia to the west.

The local Maraura people probably had their first encounter with Europeans when Charles Sturt travelled down the river in 1830. There is no record of other Europeans in the region until overlanders Joseph Hawdon and Charles Bonney drove 335 cattle from Sydney to Adelaide along the Murray River in 1838. Edward Eyre and Sturt followed this stock route, and by April 1841 at least 36 European parties had travelled the track, bringing with them about 480 people, 90,000 sheep and 15,000 cattle, as well as horses, bullocks, drays and goods into Aboriginal territories. The route followed well-established Aboriginal pathways, and various skirmishes were reported as the Europeans travelled through the region.

Conflicts
On 16 April 1841 a group of 11 overlanders, led by Henry Inman, with 5,000 sheep, was attacked on the banks of the river about  east of Lake Bonney. Two of the party were killed and one injured. A group of volunteers, including a member of the original party, Henry Field, set out to recover the sheep on 7 May. They too were attacked.

Governor  Grey swore in a batch of special constables under the jurisdiction of Major Thomas O’Halloran and the Protector of Aborigines, Matthew Moorhouse. A large party of men, including police under the command of James Rigby Beevor, left Adelaide on 31 May. They met up with another group of overlanders, led by Alfred Langhorne, on 22 June, who had been attacked two days earlier at the Rufus River. Four Europeans and five Aboriginal people had been killed, with two and about ten injured in each group respectively.

Massacre

Another official party, including police, three Aboriginal people and Moorhouse, again left for the Murray in July 1841, meeting up in August with another group of overlanders, led by William Robinson, who had earlier been attacked. In that conflict, no Europeans had been hurt, but five Aboriginal men had been killed and 10 wounded. Coming across a large group of local men and women near Lake Victoria, Moorhouse and two others became involved in another clash, despite Moorhouse’s attempts to negotiate through interpreters. According to Moorhouse's report later sent to Grey, "nearly 30" Aboriginal people were killed, "about 10" wounded and four captured and four (one man, one boy, and two females) taken prisoner. A large majority of the wounded would be expected to die from their wounds, because Aboriginal medicine was ill-equipped to deal with gunshot wounds. Only one European was wounded.

A subsequent enquiry headed by Sturt questioned the participants, including the Aboriginal interpreter and  one of the captives, but eventually declared that the actions of the European parties had been justifiable. It determined original cause of much of the trouble with the Robinson group was the Europeans engaging in sexual relations with the women without giving the food and clothing promised first. That initiated an escalating cycle of conflicts, which eventually included the Aboriginal groups stealing thousands of European sheep. Moorhouse testified that about 150 Aborigines appeared to be readying to attack, and that the massacre was committed to pre-empt such an attack.

Moorhouse's report was disputed by Robinson, who stated that "thirty to forty were killed, and as many wounded", and later by James Collins Hawker, who wrote in his book Early Experiences in South Australia (1899: p. 79): "The firing lasted about fifteen minutes, 30 natives were killed, 10 wounded and 4 taken prisoner ... This was the Protector's report but in after years when I was residing on the Murray and had learnt the language of the natives, I ascertained that a much larger number had been killed..."

The Division 1 premiership was won by the Dandenong Football Club, after it defeated Port Melbourne in a controversial Grand Final on 24 September by 25 points; it was Dandenong's first Division 1 premiership. The Division 2 premiership was won by Oakleigh, in its first season after relegation from Division 1.

Division 1
The Division 1 home-and-home season was played over 18 rounds; the top four then contested the finals under the Page–McIntyre system. The finals were held for the first time at the Punt Road Oval, in Richmond.

Finals

Grand Final

Dandenong won the Grand Final, which is best remembered for the controversial events of its second quarter. After seeing a free kick go against a teammate, Port Melbourne full forward John Peck approached and argued with umpire David Jackson. Jackson reported Peck for using abusive language and for disputing his decisions, and Peck repeatedly turned away from Jackson to prevent him from seeing his guernsey number to report him. Port Melbourne was already unhappy with the lopsided free kick count against it; and, after seeing this incident, Port Melbourne captain-coach Brian Buckley assembled his team to walk off the ground and forfeit the match in protest at Jackson's performance; much of the team had already reached the sidelines before Port Melbourne club officials ordered them to return to the ground. The rest of the game was played without incident, and Dandenong went on to win by 25 points.

Awards
The leading goalkicker for the season was Johnny Walker (Preston), who kicked 80 goals during the home-and-home season.
The J. J. Liston Trophy was won by Jim Sullivan (Coburg), who polled 38 votes. Paul Ladds (Sandringham) finished second with 27 votes, before he died in a car accident in the final week of the home-and-away season; Denis Dalton (Preston) and Rod Evans (Dandenong) were equal third with 22 votes.
Waverley won the seconds premiership. Waverley 13.19 (97) defeated Preston 11.4 (70) in the Grand Final, played as a stand-alone match on Saturday 23 September at Skinner Reserve before a crowd of 300.

Division 2
The Division 2 home-and-home season was played over eighteen rounds; the top four then contested the finals under the Page–McIntyre system. All finals were played on Sundays at Coburg Oval, after having been played at Toorak Park from 1961 until 1966; crowds at Coburg were much lower than they had been at Toorak Park, and finals returned to Toorak Park in 1968.

Awards
The leading goalkicker for Division 2 was Frank Power (Mordialloc) who kicked 84 goals for the season.
The Division 2 Best and Fairest was originally won outright by Larry Rowe (Caulfield), who polled 22 votes, including seven first preferences; Colin Sleep (Northcote) originally finished in second place on a countback, polling 22 votes with five first preferences. However, following a decision in 1989, the countback was retrospectively eliminated, and both players are now recognized as joint Best and Fairest winners. Graeme Wapling (Oakleigh) was third with 19 votes.
Northcote won the seconds premiership, defeating Sunshine in the Grand Final Replay. In the Grand Final on Saturday 9 September, Northcote 13.11 (89) drew Sunshine 13.11 (89); in the Grand Final Replay on Sunday 17 September, Northcote 13.12 (90) defeated Sunshine 10.8 (68). Both matches were stand-alone games played at Skinner Reserve.

Notable events

Transfer fees
In early April, shortly before the start of the season, the Association Board on Management agreed by a 25–14 majority to impose a minimum transfer fee of $3,000 for any of its players. The fee was an attempt to stem the flow of young Association players to the Victorian Football League, and also to increase the financial reward to Association clubs for developing League-standard players if they did leave.

There were several problems which made the Association's move impractical. Outside the Association and among many clubs who had voted against the motion, the $3,000 price tag was considered to be outrageously and unrealistically high, considering that most of the players involved were young players being rated solely on their potential. Additionally, while transfer fees were an established practice in British and American football, there was not yet a formal transfer fee system within Australian football. Finally, the Victorian Football League's player payment laws (the "Coulter Laws") specifically prohibited the "buying" of players from other clubs – and therefore any club which paid a transfer fee to the Association would be in breach of League rules.

Shortly after the fee was imposed, the dissenting Association clubs led a campaign to repeal it, fearing reprisal from the League. True to these fears, the League Board of Management voted in late April to end its 1949 reciprocity agreement with the Association, allowing Association players to transfer directly to the League without a clearance; players who did so were suspended from the Association for five years, but the suspension was not recognised in the League. There were few such transfers over the following years, in part because players were reluctant to risk a five-year ban from the Association if they were never able to forge a successful League career. The highest profile move before the 1967 season was that of young Prahran centreman Kevin Sheedy, who went to  without a clearance and without Prahran receiving any of the $5,000 transfer fee which was set for him.

On 5 May, the Association Board of Management agreed by an overwhelming majority to reduce the minimum transfer fee to $500 per player (with a maximum of $5,000), after an earlier motion to rescind the minimum transfer fee entirely failed to gain the two-thirds majority it required. Despite the change, its reciprocity agreement with the League was not reinstated. The transfer fee rule remained in place until April 1969.

Other notable events
Starting from 1967, television channel ATV-0 (part of modern-day Network Ten) began to telecast Association games as part of its weekend sports coverage, in conjunction with its horse racing coverage. ATV-0 broadcast one live game on each Saturday and Sunday through the season, at a time when League games were generally televised only as partial replays. Over the following decade, the higher profile brought by television coverage resulted in a marked increase in the popularity of the Association, and attendances more than doubled between 1967 and 1975.
On 30 July, in a rematch of the previous two Grand Finals, Port Melbourne 16.14 (110) defeated Waverley 14.16 (100) at Central Reserve, after having trailed 8.6 (54) to 13.15 (93) by 39 points at three-quarter time.

title: Battle of One Tree Hill

text:
The Battle of One Tree Hill was one of a series of conflicts that took place between European settlers and a group of men of the Jagera and other Aboriginal groups in the Darling Downs area in the colony of Queensland in the 1840s, as part of the Australian frontier wars. It was one in which the settlers were routed by a group of local Aboriginal men under the warrior Multuggerah, a rare event both in its form, as pitched battles between the two groups, and in its outcome.

Background
Moreton Bay was somewhat settled prior to the battle, due to a penal settlement having been established in 1824. The colonisers had some contact with the local Aboriginal groups but not the Jagera from the west. The little interaction that the Jagera had had with the settlers involved harbouring escaped convict, James Sterry Baker. From most accounts, Multuggerah, the leader of the Jagera nation in the 1830s and 1840s, was happy as long as the settlers didn't encroach into the Lockyer Valley.

However, by 1842 there were attempts to occupy land in and near the Lockyer Valley, Darling Downs and upper Brisbane areas. These were met with resistance from the local alliance of "mountain tribes" united under Multuggerah, a warrior, strategist and diplomat. After the 1842 deliberate poisoning of 50 or 60 Aboriginal people on Kilcoy Station, the resistance gathered momentum, and an uprising was planned. Multuggerah and his men began ambushing the mountain road that was the only route for bringing supplies from Brisbane to the Downs. The road had been built about two years earlier and was the only way of keeping both commerce and communication open between the Moreton Bay and Downs areas. Multuggerah and his forces planned to deprive the squatters of their supplies.

The battles

Ambush
In September 1843, a large group of squatters organised a "cavalcade" consisting of 18 armed men and three drays pulled by about 50 bullocks. At a location known as One Tree Hill, (now known as Tabletop Mountain, Queensland), near Toowoomba, the group was ambushed by Multuggerah and about 100 men, having been forced to stop at barricades previously erected by the attackers. The squatters fled back to Bonifant's Inn, their starting point for that trip, about  away. The warriors held a corroborree after sacking the drays, feasting on bullock meat.

Retaliation attempt
The squatters organised a revenge party, comprising all of the men at the Inn, including servants, numbering between 35 and 50 men. At nightfall on 12 September they arrived near what was left of the drays, and camped about  from Mt Tabletop. They managed to surprise the group of Aboriginal people by arriving at their camp very early the next morning, and the two groups engaged in a full-on battle. Quite a number of Aboriginal people were wounded or killed, but the settlers were hindered by getting bogged in the mud, and one was wounded in the buttocks with a spear thrown by a woman. The majority of the remaining warriors staged a retreat up the steep slopes of the mountain, where they had stored heaps of boulders. They were then able to throw spears and stones and roll boulders down the slopes, wounding some of the squatters and shattering many of their muskets, until they were forced to retreat.

The squatters awaited the border police of Dr Simpson, but when the six men found the road barricaded again, decided not to attempt an attack on the warriors.

Aftermath
Following this defeat, there was an unusually large-scale response to the Battle of One Tree Hill. A campaign began to remove Multuggerah’s warriors out of the area. Dr Simpson gathered forces from Brisbane and Ipswich until he had a total of 35–45 men. The 16 station owners and overseers sent out a call, gathering 40 to 60 men. Eventually, about 75 to 100 settlers, including most of Moreton Bay’s soldiers and police, chased the warriors from the pass. Many were killed in the Lockyer Valley area.

Conflicts continued as the warriors camped in the Rosewood Scrub and Helidon Scrub areas and mounted raids on the settlers. In October 1843, using an Aboriginal tracker, the squatters found and stormed the camp, killing leaders (although apparently not Multuggerah) and many others. Attacks and raids in the area continued for another five years.

Legacy and memorials
A monument recording the battle was established in 2005.

An Indigenous land use agreement was signed over the site, between Toowoomba City Council and a body representing the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul people as the traditional owners of the area, in 2008.

In 2010, the National Library of Australia acquired a sketch by local Thomas John Domville Taylor (the origin of the name Domville for the locality and mountain near Millmerran) for  which is believed to be an eyewitness account of the aftermath of the battle.  It depicts "11 squatters firing on a group of 25 Indigenous people of whom three appear to have been shot".

title: Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor

text:
Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor or Eastern DFC is a broad gauge freight corridor in India. The railway will run between Ludhiana in Punjab and Dankuni (near Kolkata) in West Bengal via Khurja in Uttar Pradesh. This railway line is one of the multiple freight corridors being constructed by the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL), a public-sector unit (PSU) under the Ministry of Railways. The Eastern DFC will mostly have double tracks and will be electrified, but the section from Ludhiana to Khurja (365 km) will be single line electrified due to lack of space. This freight corridor will cover a total distance of 1,839 km. This corridor is having a 46 km branch line which is joining Khurja (Bulandshahr district) on the Eastern DFC with Dadri (Gautam Buddha Nagar district) on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (Western DFC).

As of August 2023, 1150 km or 86% of the Eastern DFC has been completed and 99% required land for these have been acquired. First two DFCs, Western DFC, from Dadri, Uttar Pradesh to JNPT (Navi Mumbai) and Eastern DFC from Punjab to West Bengal, which will decongest railway network by moving 70% of India's goods trains to these two corridors.

Route
The freight corridor will cover first 447 km of Ludhiana - Dhari - Khurja section with single electrified track. After this the remaining line will be double track electrified up to Dankuni in West Bengal. This will pass through the important districts of Sahnewal, Doraha, Ludhiana, Sirhind, Rajpura, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut (Logistic Hub), Hapur, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Hathras, Barhan, Tundla, Firozabad, Etawah, Kanpur, Prayagraj and Chandauli. To reduce load over the main line, this line will have many junctions. The proposed junctions on this line are Dhandharikalan, Sirhind, Rajpura, Khalanaur, Khurja, Daudkhan, Tundla, Bhaupur, Prempur, Karchhana, Jeonathpur, Mughalsarai Junction railway station, Ganjkhwaja, Sasaram, Dehri On Sone, Son Nagar, Gomoh, Andal, Bardhaman and Dankuni (The eastern terminal point).

Logistic Hub
A large logistic hub is also proposed in Meerut, since the city is suitable major hub due to its well connectivity and proximity with expressways like Delhi Meerut Expressway, Ganga Expressway, Delhi Mumbai Expressway, Yamuna Expressway and upcoming Meerut Haridwar Expressway.

The land around the departure points of Meerut, from where the expressway is to start, will be developed for industries.

Ashok Agarwal, national president, Indian Industries Association (IIA), said “We have also received queries related to the allotment of land along the Ganga Expressway from investors. Most of the queries are for land in Meerut, Budaun and its adjoining areas”.

Government proposed following investment zones -

 Meerut along Delhi Meerut Expressway
 Meerut Muzaffarnagar Investment region
 Dadri Noida Ghaziabad Investment Region

Construction
This corridor is divided into multiple sections for contracting purposes.

Operations control center (OCC)
Built by Alstom at Prayagraj, OCC will house command and control center to monitor all trains and power supply systems on Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor. It will be staffed by 150 people and the facility is spread across 4.2 acres.

The 2014 Italian F4 Championship was the inaugural season of the Italian F4 Championship, as it replaces Formula Abarth. It began on 8 June in Adria and finished on 12 October in Imola after seven triple header rounds.

The championship was won by Canadian driver Lance Stroll, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, taking 7 overall victories and 3 further class victories from 18 races contested – he missed the final round at Imola due to injury. Stroll, driving for Prema Powerteam, finished 94 points clear of his closest championship rival, Mattia Drudi of the F & M team. Drudi won four races overall, including a hat-trick at Monza, as well as a class victory in the final race of the season. Third in the championship went to Diegi Motorsport driver Andrea Russo, taking an overall victory at Adria, as well as a class victory at Mugello. Euronova Racing by Fortec's Ukyo Sasahara, and his replacement, Andrea Fontana were the only other eligible drivers to take an overall victory, with wins at Adria and Magione respectively. Fontana also achieved a class victory at Imola, while the third Imola class win was taken by SMP Racing by Euronova and Ivan Matveev. Prema Powerteam won the teams' championship, 58 points clear of Euronova Racing by Fortec.

In the concurrent Italian F4 Trophy for drivers over the age of 18, the championship was dominated by Prema Powerteam's Brandon Maïsano. Maïsano won the first 10 races of the season, and ultimately finished the season with 17 class wins and 19 podiums from the 21 races. Maïsano also achieved six overall victories during the season, but was ineligible to score points towards the main championship. He finished 176 points clear of his next closest rival, Ali Al-Khalifa, who took a single class win at Magione. Keith Camilleri finished third in class with nine second place finishes, while Sennan Fielding was the only other driver to take part in the class; he achieved three class wins, including an overall win at Imola, from his six starts.

Teams and drivers

 Aleksandra Zabolotnyaya was scheduled to compete for SMP Racing by Euronova, but did not appear at any rounds.

title: Kalkadoon Wars

text:
The Kalkadoon Wars were a series of encounters between European colonists and the Kalkadoon people of Australia.

Europeans started settling in the Kalkadoons' homelands around 1860. At first relations were peaceful, but as numbers of new settlers increased, things became more hostile and the Kalkadoons eventually resorted to guerrilla war.

Battle Mountain
In 1884 the Kalkadoons killed five native police and a prominent pastoralist. The Queensland Government sent in heavily armed police and ended up fighting the Kalkadoon at Battle Mountain. The Europeans were ultimately victorious.

title: Magnolia × thompsoniana

text:
Magnolia × thompsoniana is a hybrid plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae. It is a semideciduous tree with large white fragrant flowers.

Hybrid origin
Magnolia × thompsoniana arose as a spontaneous seedling from a batch of seed taken and grown from an old tree of Magnolia virginiana in 1808 in the nursery of Archibald Thompson in Mile End in London. Nearby grew a specimen of M. tripetala. One seedling was more vigorous, with larger leaves and flowers. Thompson and later Sabine held it to be a form of the presumed parent plant and it was named M. virginiana var. major, however Jaume Saint-Hilaire ascertained its hybrid status in 1832, giving it its current name. It was the first magnolia hybrid bred, antedating the more famous Magnolia × soulangeana by twelve years.

The sprawling growth of Magnolia × thompsoniana precludes its use in smaller gardens and has likely impacted on its use in Europe. It was grown at historical Camden Park in the early 19th century.

In the 1960s, Professor Joe McDaniel of the University of Illinois crossbred hardier forms of the parent species and then bred with existing original stock of Magnolia × thompsoniana to improve the hardiness. He registered the resulting clone "Urbana" in 1969.

Magnolia × thompsoniana ‘Cairn Croft’ is a hybrid, the original plant of which was found on an estate in Westwood, Massachusetts. Its flowers are double or triple the size of M. virginiana. It has large glossy green elliptical leaves 16–21 cm (6–8 in) long by 5–8.5 cm (2–3.3 in) wide with wavy margins. It can reach 4.6 m high, and appears to set no seed.

Magnolia × thompsoniana ‘Olmenhof’ arose in a garden ‘Olmenhof’ in Herk de Stad, Belgium. It has larger flowers and a longer flowering season than other forms of M. thompsoniana. The elliptical to obovate leaves are 20–25 cm (8–10 in) in length, by 8–11 cm (3.2–4.2 in) wide.

Daniel Sserunkuma aka Muzenyi (born 14 December 1993 in Kampala) is a Ugandan footballer who currently plays as a striker for Vipers SC and the Uganda national team (the "Cranes").

Early life
Sserunkuma was born and grew up in the Lubaga division of Kampala district. He attended St. Mary's School in Kitende which has also produced Ugandan players such as David Obua, Eric Obua, Emmanuel Okwi and Ibrahim Juma.

He joined Friends of Football Academy in Uganda at the age of 10. Sserunkuma said he was inspired by Ugandan legend, the late Majid Musisi, who is regarded as the country's best footballer of all time.

Club career

Express
Sserunkuma started playing professional football at Ugandan team Express F.C. in 2008.

Victors
After one year in Express F.C., he moved to rival club Victors FC, where he stayed for the next two years.

Nairobi City Stars

Gor Mahia
After playing for a year and half for Nairobi City Stars, Sserunkuma then moved to Gor Mahia F.C. in 2012.

In 2013, Sserunkuma played an important role in helping Gor Mahia F.C. clinch the Kenyan Premier League title for the first time since 18 years. He ended the 2012 season with 17 goals and several assists and was named the 2012 KPL player of the year. As Gor Mahia sought to win the national league for the first time in 18 years, it was Sserunkuma who played the pivotal role by scoring in almost all the last 10 games of the 2013 league. Thanks largely to Sserunkuma's goalscoring heroics, Gor Mahia won the league.

In November 2013, Sserunkuma caused a stir in the club by officially handing in a transfer request, expressing his desire to join Armenian Premier League club FC Banants. However, the player was not allowed to leave the club.

In 2014, he was the highest goal scorer in the 2014 Kenyan Premier League season with total of 16 goals scored.

Express
In September 2017, Dan joined Express.

Vipers S.C.

2018/2019
Sserunkuma helped Vipers SC to finish second in the league scoring 13 goals in 21 matches in the absence of Karisa and Ssekisambu who were sold in the transfer window.
2019/2020
In this season Sserunkuma saw game time reduced when the club signed Fahad Bayo. He went on to score crucial goals and the team claimed the fourth League in their history.

International career
In February 2013, Sserunkuma received his first national team call up for the Ugandan Cranes. During his debut match against Rwanda, he scored one goal from the penalty spot while setting up the other.

International goals
Scores and results list Uganda's goal tally first.

Playing style
Sserunkuma's physical stature and style of play has been compared to that of Italian legend Gianfranco Zola. His greatest assets are his speed, skills, creative play, powerful shots and great balance.

Uganda national team head coach Milutin Sredojević praised Sserunkuma, referring to him as one of the best strikers in the region.

It has yet to be officially released although some promotional copies were distributed. The band is made up of Daniel Pearce on lead vocals and percussions, Paul Turner on bass, Rob Harris on guitar and Derrick McKenzie on drums. It has following in both United Kingdom and Europe.

The members of the band, that play original materials as well as stylized covers, have had great musicianship experience.

Daniel Pearce was in Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 and part of the boy band that resulted from the show called One True Voice. In 2009, he auditioned for the 2009 series of The X Factor, but failed to progress as far as the live finals. He collaborated with British rapper Dizzee Rascal to co-write and sing on Dizzee's last UK number 1 hit "Dirtee Disco". He was also the hit vocalist on the drum n bass duo Sigma's platinum selling number 1 smash hit in 2014. To date, Pearce has been the hit vocalist on more than a dozen chart and club hits since 2010.

The other three have known each other through their work in the British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai. Paul Turner was a bassist with them before joining Shuffler. He was also involved in the eclectic progressive rock trio The Dark Sinatras. Derrick McKenzie and Rob Harris were drummer and guitarist in Jamoroquai. Harris is also a songwriter and record producer. During 2007–08, he co-wrote and co-produced the debut studio album, Stitch Me Up for Universal Music Group artist Julian Perretta with success in France and Germany.

title: Global Commercial Credit

text:
Global Commercial Credit LLC is an American trade credit and political risk insurance broker.

History
Global Commercial Credit was founded on March 1, 1996 by Craig Bonnell and Victor Sandy in Bingham Farms, Michigan with the goal of offering a wider range of trade credit insurance products than was available from their previous employer. They targeted middle-market companies with revenues of between $50 million and $500 million, an area which David Brophy, a finance professor at the University of Michigan, said was underrepresented due to a trend towards larger banks.

The company opened a second office, in Chicago, Illinois, in the fall of 1996 and reported that they had protected over $2 billion in receivables, representing five different insurers, after 10 months of business. With offices now in Boston, Baltimore, Tampa, Chicago, and Cleveland, the company protects over $40 billion in global sales with more than a dozen carriers.

title: Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm

text:
Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm is an historic home and farm complex located in the unincorporated community of Dahmer, near Franklin, Pendleton County, West Virginia. The original section of the house was built in 1845, and includes the -story section on the north end, with a later -story addition built about 1900. The house rests on a foundation of coursed rubble stone and is clad in weatherboard siding. It has a standing-seam metal gable roof.  Also on the property are 15 log and frame contributing outbuildings.  They include the cellar house, two hog pens, a stable, woodworking shop, carriage house, chicken coop, granary (photo 10), shed, privy constructed by the Works Progress Administration, spring house, three small hay barns, and a large double-crib log hay barn.  Also on the property is the Pitsenbarger Cemetery.

The Farm is known to have had the nickname "Loafer's Glory." This was likely due to the Pitsenbarger's reputation for being hospitable, the farm's location on a trail connecting two waterways and leading toward Harrisonburg, VA, plus the hard cider and apple brandy they produced. The current property owners operate Loafer's Glory Log Cabin Resort & Event Venue as well as Dry Run Spirits, a distillery, on the premises.

The Ananias Pitsenbarger Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
