title: Laurence George Bomford

text:
Reverend Laurence George Bomford (6 August 1847 – 2 July 1926) was an English painter and clergyman.

Life
Laurence George Bomford was born on 6 August 1847 to Irish parents Samuel Bomford (17 Sept 1813 – 14 Apr 1898) and Francis Jane Winter (c1820 - 1910).

Bomford was born at Tyne Hall, Bembridge, Isle of Wight, and educated at Cheltenham College.

He married  Anne Goold Green (1848 – 6 Mar 1908), daughter of the respected British landscape artist and astronomer Nathaniel Everett Green, in Marylebone, London in 1874. They had no children.

In 1918 he retired to St. Albans, where he died on 2 July 1926, aged 78.

Career
Bomford worked as a landscape painter before, at 36 years of age, deciding to follow his brother, Rodon Charles Bomford (1845-1915), and become a clergyman. He entered Cambridge University in October 1883 to study at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.  In 1886, he gained his Bachelor of Arts with a first class Tripos in Theology and followed this with a Master of Arts degree in 1890.  He was ordained in 1886 and became a priest in the Diocese of Ely in 1887. He was curate of Saint Andrew-the-less in Cambridge from 1886 to 1890, then between 1890 and 1896 was curate of Trowbridge in Wiltshire.  His last curacy was at Barnet in Hertfordshire from 1895 to 1898.

When his father died Laurence was appointed Vicar of St. Mark's church in Colney Heath, near St. Albans in Hertfordshire, where he remained for twenty years between 1898 and 1918 until his retirement from the church.

Artist
Laurence Bomford was an accomplished artist, actively painting between 1873 and 1920.  His works are mainly in watercolour and often plein-air sketches with only a small number of oil paintings being known. He was clearly professionally taught, and was a pupil of Nathaniel Everett Green, who would become his father-in-law.  Green's influence can be seen, particularly in Bomford's early work.  His landscape paintings are characterised by delicate brushwork in a semi-impressionist fashion with excellent perspective and composition, and good contrasts between light and shade. Several still life studies of flowers are known and the odd seascape is also recorded, again primarily in watercolour.  He travelled widely to paint, with works depicting locations throughout England and Wales, with a particular love for South Devon, and North Wales which are represented in many of his works.  There exists a smaller number of pieces from Scotland, and from an overseas excursion to Switzerland and northern Italy in 1906.

Bomford was a respected artist during his lifetime.  His pictures were widely appreciated, being offered for auction, for example, in Melbourne, Australia in 1876.  He was exhibited at the Christchurch Exhibition, New Zealand, alongside other English and Italian artists in 1882.  In recent times his works have occasionally come onto the open market, being offered by major auction houses in Europe, America and South Africa.

A large number of Bomford's works were sold as part of an estate sale by the Bonhams auction house, Oxford, in March 2012.  Many of the 150 or so pieces, from across his painting career were priced up in pencil for sale, possibly following the artist's death, though had remained together for some 90 years and appear to comprise the bulk of the output produced by artist during his lifetime.

title: Old Grapevine

text:
The Old Grapevine was a tavern in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City at the southeast corner of Sixth Avenue and 11th Street.  The tavern was located in a three-story roadhouse built in the 18th century and was originally called the Hawthorne.  It was later named after a grapevine that grew on one of its walls.  It was a hangout for artists, actors, businessmen, lawyers, Confederate spies, and Union officers.   The high concentration of Civil War Soldiers made it an ideal place to hear (or plant) military gossip, leading some to believe the idiom "heard it through the grapevine" originated here.

The nearby Jefferson Market Courthouse attracted many politicians including U.S. President Chester A. Arthur who visited the tavern many times.  It was demolished in 1915.

title: Weeks Hardware

text:
Weeks Hardware is a historic two-story brick 1913 hardware store building in Brooksville, Florida, located at 115 North Main.

The store was called Miro Hardware through the end of World War II, as a combination of the first names of Rosie and Mammie Weeks.

As of 2003, the store was the "oldest active business in town," according to the St. Petersburg Times, which added:
The reluctance to modernize is evident everywhere. The ceiling is high, made of elaborately patterned tin and in need of paint. The freight elevator in the back of the store is powered by hand.

A tall, darkly stained plywood case that holds bolts and screws in its dozens of drawers, was built, according to a little brass label on one corner, by A.R. Brown on May 7, 1901.

The founder's grandson, Joseph C. Weeks, worked in the store since childhood, and took over the business after returning from naval service and graduating from the University of Florida. Mr. Weeks, aged 82, was honored by the Brooksville City Council as "the 2009 Great Brooksvillian."

The building was owned by John Weeks, the first President of the First Federal Bank.

The historic J.M. Rogers Department Store built in 1912 is located across the street at 120 North Main.

Weeks House

The Weeks House is a historic home at 118 South Brooksville Avenue. It was built circa 1900 and was the original home of the founder of Weeks Hardware.

Old Weeks House

The Old Weeks House is a historic residence at 122 West Fort Dade. It was built by sawmill owner G. Gordy in 1882 using heart of pine. The Weeks family owned the house from the 1930s until the 1970s. It belonged to Joe Weeks' uncle and his cousin. It is reputed to be haunted.

title: Lauridromia intermedia

text:
Lauridromia intermedia is a species of crab in the family Dromiidae and is native to the western Indo-Pacific. It often carries a piece of sponge on its back by way of camouflage, and one individual was found carrying a sea anemone in a similar manner.

Description
Lauridromia intermedia is a small crab with a maximum carapace width of  for males and  for females. The carapace is covered in short hair and there are shaggy bristles round the margins. It is nearly circular in shape and the rostrum has three teeth, the central one being smaller than the other two. This crab has robust chelipeds bearing a number of tubercles. The second and third legs are much longer than the fourth and fifth. These latter have three or four spines on the dactylus, two or three small ones and a single opposable large one. The carapace is orangish or yellowish-brown with a small dark red patch near the front. The tips of the chelipeds are pink.

Distribution
Lauridromia intermedia is found in shallow water in the western Indo-Pacific. Its range includes the East African coast, Madagascar, the Seychelles, Australia, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan. Its depth range is  but it is seldom found deeper than .

Ecology
Crabs in the family Dromiidae are often known as "sponge crabs" due to their habit of carrying bits of sponge on their carapace, clipping them to size and shape. Sometimes instead they carry colonial ascidians and occasionally other objects. Lauridromia intermedia usually carries a piece of sponge, holding it in place with the claw-like spines on the end of its fourth and fifth pairs of legs.

After a scientific trawl along the sandy seabed off the coast of Kenya, an individual Lauridromia intermedia was brought to the surface carrying a specimen of the sea anemone Nemanthus annamensis on its back. It was holding the sea anemone in place with its two hind legs, the spines being sunk into the gelatinous column. The sea anemone was not attached to the crab's shell and appeared not to be distressed by being carried around in this way. It would seem that the crab was using the anemone as camouflage, or taking advantage of the anemone's nematocysts as a defence against predators.

title: Chibana Castle

text:
, also known as  was a Ryukyuan gusuku on Okinawa Island. In the Chibana district of Okinawa City, the castle site sits on a hill and is surrounded by jungle.

History
Chibana Castle was in use during the reign of the First Shō Dynasty and served as the residence of the Aji of Goeku Magiri. The castle and Goeku Magiri was given to the Ryukyuan general Uni-Ufugusuku by King Shō Taikyū in return for defeating the Aji of Katsuren Castle, Amawari. After the fall of the First Shō Dynasty, Uni-Ufugusuku was expelled from the castle and later committed suicide. His tomb, and that of his wife, was built at the bottom of the hill that Chibana Castle is atop.

In the early 1960s, a structure was built on top of the hill to commemorate the castle and serve as a tourist attraction, from which all of the former Goeku Magiri can be seen.

Grave of Lilly Gray
The headstone of Lilly E. Gray, located in the far northeast of the cemetery, has long attracted attention and visitors from all over America, on account of its unusual inscription:

Little is known of Lilly Gray's life beyond basic records. On July 10, 1952, she married Elmer Gray, a serial felon who had served time in the Missouri State Prison, the Oklahoma State Prison, the Colorado State Prison, and, for eleven years, in the Utah State Prison. Lilly and Elmer were 72 and 71 respectively. Lilly died in 1958 of natural causes with no indication of foul play. The reason for the inscription is not known, but her husband had shown some indications of possible paranoia, and presumably ordered the headstone. But much amateur speculation has surrounded the grave, and rumors and legends of paranormal or Satanic associations have circulated.

title: George Baker Cummins

text:
George Baker Cummins (August 29, 1904 – March 30, 2007) was a notable American mycologist and was considered an authority on the rust fungi. At his death he was the last surviving charter member of the Mycological Society of America.

Career

George Baker Cummins was affectionately known as "Mr. Rust" and he was recognized throughout the world as the authority on the rust fungi, the Puccinales, which are the largest order of disease-causing organisms of plants. Cummins professional specialty for almost his entire career was the taxonomy, biology and geographic distribution of the rust fungi. His investigations of the rusts took him to the Philippines, New Guinea, continental China, the Himalaya, central and western Africa, and North and South America.

Cummins began his mycological career at the age of 23 as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in 1927, meaning he was a mycologist for 80 years. He published his first journal paper in 1930 at the age of 26 and his last publication was the Illustrated Genera of Rust Fungi in 2003 at the age of 99.

Cummins studied the rust fungi at the internationally renowned Arthur Herbarium (Fungarium) at Purdue University, a collection dedicated to preserved specimens of rust fungi. He first came to Purdue University in 1930, as a research assistant under J. C. Arthur (another noted urediniologist to which the Arthur Fungarium owes its namesake) and worked with Arthur on Arthur's rust fungi monograph, published in 1934. Cummins was never a student of Arthur's although he gained a wealth of knowledge of rust fungi while working with him on the manual. He completed his PhD program at Purdue, working with several advisors, in 1935. Cummins was staff or faculty in the college of Agriculture, and the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue, for 40 years. He served as curator of the Arthur from 1938 - 1971 and built it to be one of the largest working collections of plant rust fungi in the world. The collection is especially rich in grasses, partly due to the interest of Cummins in collecting hosts for grass rusts. Cummins named over 600 new taxa or combinations in his 33-year career as curator. He was appointed professor in 1947 and was head of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology from 1966 to 1970, when he retired.

Cummins was active in teaching and instructed courses in general plant sciences and mycology. In collaboration with other departmental faculty he authored a textbook and laboratory manuals in plant sciences. He also served as major professor for graduate students in master's and doctoral programs. His students included J. W. Baxter, Y. Hiratsuka and J. F. Hennen. After retirement from Purdue Cummins moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he was appointed visiting research professor by the Department of Plant Pathology of the University of Arizona and was provided working facilities and microscopic equipment in the mycological herbarium. For the next 20 years he was a valued and highly productive faculty member.

Memberships and awards

Cummins held all of the offices of the Mycological Society of America; secretary treasurer (1942–1944), vice president (1945), president (1946) and councilor (1947–1948). He was also active in the American Phytopathological Society of America, the Mycological Society of Mexico, the Torrey Botanical Club, American Society of Plant Taxonomists, the Southwestern Association of Naturalists, the Indiana Academy of Science, and the International Association for Plant Taxonomy. He was made a Life Member of the Mycological Society of America in 1967 and was the longest surviving charter member. His achievements were recognized by Montana State University (where he received a B.S. degree) when they conferred upon him an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1963. He became an Emeritus Professor at Purdue in 1971 and in recognition as the foremost authority on the rust fungi, Purdue University awarded him an honorary doctoral degree in 1981. Several other universities also awarded him honorary degrees including the Banco Nacional of Mexico which named him "Mencion honorifica" in 1982.

Contributions and literary works
Outstanding contributions by Cummins include a study of the phylogenetic significance of the pores in rust urediniospores, a monograph of the genus Prospodium, an illustrated manual of rust genera, and studies of major groups of grass rusts, some cooperatively with H. C. Greene and J. F. Hennen (Baxter, 1962).

During his tenure at Purdue, and at the University of Arizona since his retirement, he published 120 refereed papers and 9 books. The books published include Rust Fungi on Legumes and Composites in North America (1978), The Rust Fungi of Cereals, Grasses and Bamboos (1971), three books on rust fungi of Mexico with Hector M. Gallegos and three editions of the Illustrated Genera of Rust Fungi with Yasuyuki Hiratsuka.

Cummins was also a talented scientific illustrator and J.C. Arthur's 1934 Manual of the Rust Fungi contains his illustrations. There are hundreds of original illustrations by Cummins throughout the collection in the Arthur Fungarium.

Personal life and character
Cummins was born in Tecumseh, Nebraska, 29 August 1904 to Nellie Baker Cummins and George Wilson Cummins. He had a sister, Ruth, who was three years older. In 1906 his family moved to western Montana. Cummins' father had purchased a 100-acre farm on the edge of the village of Darby at the south end of the Bitterroot Valley, on which his father built a two-level log house. This building now acts as the administration building for the Darby School system on the aptly named Cummins street.

Cummins attended Montana state college (Now Montana State University) in Bozeman. He began his career as an engineering major but after a year changed his major to botany and bacteriology. In the summers during his college years Cummins and a classmate friend from Darby worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the barberry eradication program for control of stem rust of wheat. This was Cummins' first rust-related employment.

Cummins was awarded a bachelor of science in Botany and Bacteriology from MSC in 1927. One of the botany professors at MSC was Frank B. Cotner, a student of the mycologist C. H. Kauffman at the University of Michigan. Cotner was impressed by Cummins and urged him to consider graduate work in mycology and helped him get an assistantship with Kauffman at Michigan. Cummins started a graduate program there in fall 1927. About the time Cummins finished his MS, E.B. Mains, then a faculty member at Purdue University, contacted his former mentor, Kauffman, at Michigan to ask whether anyone there was qualified and interested in working at Purdue with the noted rust specialist J.C. Arthur in preparing a manual of the rust fungi of North America. Kauffman recommended Cummins and Cummins decided to take the job. He went to Purdue in January 1930 to assume a position on the Agricultural Experiment Station staff as a research assistant.

In the fall of 1930 Cummins married Margaret Sempill and together they had two children, Richard in 1934 and Elaine in 1936. Sadly Margaret died shortly after Elaine was born. In 1938 Cummins married Mildred Shriver, a Purdue alumna, who became the loving mother of two small children and Cummins' devoted wife for the next 69 years. In summer 1957 Cummins spent several weeks collecting rust fungi in the Chiricahua Mountains and adjacent areas in southeastern Arizona, working out of the Southwestern Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History. In 1960 he spent a sabbatical year in Tucson doing field research on rusts in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. These experiences led to a permanent move by Cummins and Mildred to Tucson in 1971 after his retirement from Purdue.

Cummins has been noted as the best softball pitcher in the Purdue University School of Agriculture and a man of dry wit, who signed his letters "the burned-out botanist" (Mccain & Hennen, 1993). Below is a quote from Cummins from the Purdue University Retiree Newsletter:
"... The abbreviation of Purdue University Retirees (PUR) is antedated by some years by PUR, the official international designation for the Arthur. The two PUR's have something in common. The PUR (Arthur Herbarium) is a repository of about 80,000 specimens, many quite old. Purdue University Retirees probably do not number so many, but the rest of the comparison has some validity. And I am in a position to know."

Dr. George Baker Cummins died on March 30, 2007, at the age of 102. "Dr. George B. Cummins is a scholar, a gentlemen, and a scientist of international fame. His contributions to Purdue University, Indiana, the United States, and the world have been enormous." - Dr. Markus Scholler (former curator of the Arthur Fungarium)

Mildred died 22 August 2008 at the age of 101. She and Cummins are survived by son Richard, daughter Elaine Cummins Yankula, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, including a set of triplets.

title: Balanophora

text:
Balanophora is a genus of parasitic flowering plants in the family Balanophoraceae found in parts of tropical and temperate Asia, including the Eastern Himalayas, Malesia region, Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and tropical Africa. There are about 20 accepted species, including the newly discovered B. coralliformis. Many species emit an odour which possibly attracts pollinators in the same way that pollinators are attracted to Rafflesia.

Balanophora species are used in folk medicine in many Asian cultures.  For example, in Taiwan and China, Balanophora is known as she-gu (stone-fungus) and in Thailand as hoh-ra-tao-su-nak. In both cases, the plant is used to treat a variety of ailments and has various ritual purposes. The tubers of Balanophora are rich in a wax-like substance which is used in Java as a fuel for torches.

Taxonomy
The genus was first described in 1775 by Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster in Characteres Generum Plantarum. The name is derived from the ancient Greek words  (), meaning "acorn" and  (), meaning "to carry".

Species
, the following species are accepted at Plants of the World Online:

Balanophora abbreviata Blume
Balanophora aphylla Luu, H.Ð.Trần & H.C.Nguyen
Balanophora coralliformis Barcelona, Tandang & Pelser
Balanophora cucphuongensis Ban
Balanophora dioica R.Br. ex Royle
Balanophora elongata Blume
Balanophora fargesii (Tiegh.) Harms
Balanophora flava (Hook.f.) Lidén

Balanophora polyandra Griff.
Balanophora reflexa Becc.
Balanophora subcupularis P.C.Tam
Balanophora tobiracola Makino
Balanophora wilderi Setch.
Balanophora yakushimensis Hatus. & Masam.

Ecology
Balanophora yuwanensis, "often considered the same species as B. yakushimensis", is thought to provide the endangered dark-furred Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) of the Ryukyu Archipelago with vegetative tissues as a reward for seed dispersal.  Previously, it had been a mystery how seeds of B. yuwanensis were dispersed.

title: P. Dee Boersma

text:
P. Dee Boersma, also known as Dee Boersma (born 1946) is a conservation biologist and professor at the University of Washington, where she is Wadsworth Endowed Chair in Conservation Science. Dr. Boersma's area of work focuses on seabirds, specifically Magellanic penguins. She has directed the Magellanic Penguin Project at Punta Tombo, Argentina since 1982. She is the founder of the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels, hosted at the University of Washington, and dedicated to the study of sential species as early warning systems of natural or human caused environmental change.

Early life and education
She grew up in Michigan. She graduated from Central Michigan University in 1969 and later completed her Ph.D. in Zoology from Ohio State University in 1974. Her dissertation was on Galapagos penguins and titled "The Galapagos Penguin: A Study of Adaptations for Life in an Unpredictable Environment."

Career
Boersma began teaching at the University of Washington in 1974.

Over multiple decades, her career has focused on protecting penguins from oil spills, habitat loss, and road construction plans that would disrupt nesting sites.

Boersma and a team of researchers banded more than 44,300 Magellanic penguin chicks at Punta Tombo from 1983 to 2010, finding 3,296 of those chicks made it back to the breeding colony where they were born. Overall, they found that fewer female penguins survived. Her research in Argentina has demonstrated climate-induced change that forced penguins to swim about 25 miles farther each day in search of food, which reduced their chance of survival.

In 1983, she began finding penguins dead on the beaches covered in oil, which caused her and her team to bring the evidence to the attention of the government's and ultimately led to tanker lanes being shifted further offshore. This shift protected the penguins from the effects of commercial petroleum dumping in the ocean.

She has received multiple awards for teaching and her contributions to science, including a Distinguished Service Award from the Society for Conservation Biology in 2006 and the 15th Heinz Environmental Award. She is the author of Penguins: Natural History and Conservation and Invasive Species in the Pacific Northwest.

title: 2010 Dutch municipal elections

text:
Municipal elections were held on Wednesday 3 March 2010 in most municipalities in the Netherlands. This election determined the composition of the municipal councils for the following four years. The elections were held a few weeks after the fall of the Fourth Balkenende cabinet.

Nearly 24% of the vote went to local parties and independent candidates, more than any national political party. The Labour Party remained the most popular party overall, despite a significant decline in their vote share. The Party for Freedom only contested the cities of Almere and The Hague, where it became the largest and second-largest party respectively in both cities. Support for the CDA also decreased, while the VVD made moderate gains and Democrats 66 nearly doubled their support. The CDA held the most seats of any party, mainly due to its higher level of support in rural areas.

Hard Drive Productions, Inc. v. Does 1–1,495, Civil Action No. 11-1741 (JDB/JMF), was a United States District Court for the District of Columbia case in which the court held that anonymous users of the peer-to-peer file sharing service BitTorrent could not remain anonymous after charges of copyright infringement were brought against them. The court ultimately dismissed the case, but the identities of defendants were publicly exposed.

Background

Hard Drive Productions, Inc., is an adult film studio with a history of suing anonymous "John Doe" defendants for copyright infringement.
On September 27, 2011, Hard Drive Productions sued 1,495 anonymous defendants for copyright infringement in Hard Drive Productions, Inc. v. Does 1–1,495.
Hard Drive Productions claimed that the defendants had used BitTorrent to illegally download and distribute its movie "Amateur Alleur—MaeLynn."

A prominent feature of this case the defendants' right to anonymous speech.
Hard Drive Productions knew the IP addresses assigned to each defendant by their Internet service provider (ISP), however the plaintiff had no information about the true identities of these individuals. Hard Drive Productions moved to compel the ISPs by subpoena to disclose the true identities of the defendants. The court granted the motion, which would force the ISPs to disclose the defendants' identities.
The defendants moved to quash this subpoena.
For administrative reasons, some of the defendants submitted their name and address with their motions to quash.
These were filed under seal to protect their identities from the public.

Subsequently, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), an organization that advocates internet users' anonymity and other rights in the digital world, sent an amicus curiae and requested an emergency stay—a motion that would halt action so that the order could be reconsidered. The EFF mainly argued that the order did not consider the defendants' First Amendment right to anonymous speech. The court eventually denied the EFF's motion for emergency stay and reconsideration and ordered unsealing of all sealed motions to quash.
Thus, the identities of the defendants were disclosed to the public.

Opinion of the Court

On Hard Drive Productions's motion to compel
On August 13, 2012, the court held that the defendants could not proceed anonymously. The court noted that there was no privilege recognized by law that would protect the identity of the Does from being disclosed to the plaintiff for the purposes sought, and that without the ability to obtain the Does' identities, the copyright holders would have been left without a means of identifying the individuals who violated its rights.

The plaintiff was seeking subscriber information for particular IP addresses, and the use of that information had already been restricted by the court: "Any information disclosed to Hard Drive in response to the Rule 45 subpoenas may be used by Hard Drive solely for the purpose of protecting its rights as set forth in the Complaint, and Hard Drive may not publicly disclose the names of the defendants."

The defendants filed motions to quash the subpoena, but they were denied for multiple reasons.
First, because the defendants moved anonymously, their motions could not officially become part of the Court file.
According to Rule 5.1 of the court's local rules, "The first filing by or on behalf of a party shall have in the caption the name and full residence address of the party."
Second, since the subpoena was for the defendants' ISPs and not the defendants themselves, the defendants had no standing to quash the subpoena.
Third, the court argued that, at the time, the movants were not yet considered as defendants.

On the EFF's stay motion
The court released a memorandum regarding the EFF's amicus curiae and denied its stay motion on September 26, 2012.

In this opinion, court applied the 5-part balancing test adopted in Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. v. Does 1–40, 326 F. Supp. 2d 556 (S.D.N.Y. 2004) and found that all five factors supported the disclosure of the defendants' identities:

 Plaintiff's concrete showing of a prima facie claim of copyright infringement—Hard Drive Productions made a concrete showing of a prima facie claim of copyright infringement.
 Specificity of the plaintiff's discovery request—Hard Drive Productions's discovery request was sufficiently specific to gain only the information needed to identify the defendants and nothing more.
 Absence of alternative means to gain the information plaintiff seeks—subpoenaing the ISPs appeared to be the only way for the plaintiff to obtain the defendants' identities because only the ISPs have records of the IP addresses assigned to users on the date and at the time of each allegedly infringing act.
 Plaintiff's need for the information to advance its claim—without the defendants' identifying information, the plaintiff could not name or serve process on the defendants and hence cannot advance its claims of copyright infringement.
 Defendants' expectation of privacy—defendants had little expectation of privacy in the subscriber information that they had already given to their ISPs.

Because all of the five Sony factors supported disclosure of the defendants' identities, the court found that the plaintiff's need for the defendants' identities in pursuit its claims outweighed the defendants' First Amendment interest in anonymity.

Subsequent developments
On December 21, 2012 the case was dismissed in its entirety without prejudice, but the plaintiff could still file a new lawsuit in other jurisdictions until the statute of limitation has expired.

Eric Goldman criticized the court for allowing copyright plaintiffs to unmask the identities of the defendants too easily. As a result of the disclosure, the defendants lost their essential due process rights. In practice, once the plaintiff knew the identities of defendants, it could take advantage of substantial extrajudicial remedies such as public humiliation in porn copyright cases. Goldman claimed that this ruling unfairly favored the plaintiff over the anonymous defendants.

After the case was dismissed, Hard Drive Productions was involved in another lawsuit related to this case. On February 16, 2013, Nathan Abshire, one of the defendants in Hard Drive Productions, Inc. v. Does 1–1,495, filed a new lawsuit (MND 13-cv-00380) against Hard Drive Productions. Abshire alleged that after the disclosing of the Does' identities in September 2012, Hard Drive Productions, Inc. began harassing Nathan over the phone and continued to propose various unacceptable settlement proposals. The complaint primarily requested that the court issue an order declaring that Abshire not be liable for copyright infringement, that Hard Drive Productions's purported copyright on its work was unenforceable or invalid. It also requested that Abshire be awarded costs, disbursements, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees.

title: Giuseppe Pasotto

text:
Giuseppe Pasotto (Bovolone, Italy, 6 July 1954) is an Italian Catholic bishop. Since 1996 he is the Latin Church bishop of the Apostolic Administration of the Caucasus, covering the functions of a bishop for the Catholic communities in Georgia and Armenia.

Biography

Born in Bovolone, in the Province of Verona, still a young man Pasotto entered in the seminary of the Congregation of the Sacred Stigmata of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Stigmatines) and was ordained a priest on 12 May 1979 by Cardinal Lucas Moreira Neves. In 1993, he went to Georgia, following a request by the Congregation of the Holy See of the Catholic presence in the Latin Church in the country (made possible by the dissolution of the USSR). In 1996 he was appointed Apostolic Administrator of the Caucasus of the Latins, exercising a pastoral role equivalent to that of bishop for Latin Catholics of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Pasotto was appointed Titular Bishop of Musti by Pope John Paul II, from which he was ordained on 6 January 2000 in St. Peter's Basilica. In 2005 he convened the first diocesan synod Apostolic Administration of the Caucasus. In 2008, during the Russia-Georgia war between Russia and Georgia, Pasotto denounced that "the people's fear is to be left alone in front of the Russian giant, and that Westerners only know how to speak well". Under his administration, the Catholic Church in Tbilisi opened its doors to refugees from the affected areas. According to the bishop, the Catholic Church was the first to get humanitarian aid through to Gori, having delivered it to the Orthodox bishop, to be distributed.

Ministry in Georgia

Giuseppe Pasotto arrived in Georgia soon after the country had gained independence, in 1993. He describes an atmosphere of great poverty, but also of hope and an appreciation for freedom. "I came here together with another priest from my small community of Stigmatines, which was founded in Verona. At the time, we experienced the same hardships as the people living here – particularly the cold and the deprivation. This helped us to love these people even more and to understand the meaning of freedom. Our conversations with young people taught us the importance of suffering for fundamental values and keeping hope alive."

After 70 years of Communism, the Catholic Church was unorganised and most communities no longer existed. What little remained of the Catholic faith was kept alive in private homes, mostly by matriarchs. "The only thing that was left of the Catholic Church was one open place of worship (the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Tbilisi). The communities that were scattered across rural areas had all been abandoned. The first thing we did was re-establish contact and then find additional priests from other countries and local churches to come and help us. And so we gradually began to rebuild the most important structures. It seems to me that the rosary saved the Catholic faith not only in Georgia, but in all Communist countries. The people came together in the houses to pray and the grandmothers were the ones who took responsibility."

In an interview with Aid to the Church in Need, in 2022, the bishop ranked ecumenical work as the main priority for the Church at present. "This is our first task and it is a very difficult one. Due to the legacy of its past, the Orthodox Church still has a hard time being open to this. The Catholics are well aware that they are a minority and often face discrimination and unfair treatment. You just need to remember the six churches that were confiscated and never given back, or the prohibition of interfaith marriages. The ecumenical path requires a great deal of patience and the constant search for new and potential opportunities for establishing relationships that could develop into bridges. Our university, where most of the students are non-Catholics, plays an important role in this."

title: Jef Gilson

text:
Jean-François Quiévreux (25 July 1926 – 5 February 2012), better known as Jef Gilson, was a French clarinetist, pianist, arranger, vocalist, composer and big band leader.

"In the occupation of which he initiated groups" proved Gilson "an excellent grasp of the 'discovery' and the promotion of young talent."

Life and work
Classically trained as a clarinetist, Gilson began playing with Claude Luter in the band of Boris Vian. In 1947 he switched to the piano.

He formed a big band in 1963, members of which included, at various stages, Bill Coleman, Bernard Vitet, Ivan Jullien, Michel Portal, Jean-Louis Chautemps, François Jeanneau, Michel Portal, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bernard Lubat, Lloyd Miller and Henri Texier. Woody Shaw and Nathan Davis performed and recorded with the orchestra in spring 1965.

In addition, in 1965 he joined the vocal sextet Les Double Six, first as and a member, later as its musical director.

Gilson's recordings, on which early compositions with tempo changes (Enfin!, Œil Vision), bitonal layers and chromatic topics are included, first appeared on a mini label. Some of the harmonic function has been overridden in his compositions since 1964, without, being exclusively free jazz oriented (New Call from France, MPS 1966). Commercial success did not materialize, so that in 1968 Gilson temporarily went to Madagascar. In 1971 he returned and concentrated first on ethno jazz and later "total improvisation". In 1973 he founded his label, Palm, on which are especially the recordings with his orchestra Europamerica, and with Butch Morris. For this more arranged record, which started reflecting his achievements of free jazz, he was awarded the 1978 Prix Boris Vian. Up to his final days he lived withdrawn in Ardèche.

title: California Breed

text:
California Breed was a hard rock band based in Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2013, the band was a supergroup composed of bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist Andrew Watt, and drummer Jason Bonham. Following the breakup of his previous band Black Country Communion, Hughes was introduced to Watt in 2013 and the two quickly formed California Breed, with Black Country Communion drummer Bonham completing the lineup shortly after. The band recorded its self-titled debut album with producer Dave Cobb in late 2013, which was released through Frontiers Records in May 2014 and reached number 78 on the US Billboard 200.

Following the release of the album, Bonham left California Breed due to other commitments preventing him from touring; he was replaced by former Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal drummer Joey Castillo. The band toured in support of the band Alter Bridge, and later on five UK dates with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. It was later revealed that Bonham's departure was likely to be permanent, and in January 2015 the band announced that it would no longer continue.

History

2013–2014: Formation and debut album
Hughes was first introduced to Watt by friend and fellow musician Julian Lennon on February 9, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. After the guitarist emailed Hughes some of his music, Hughes recalls that he "heard a good writer, a good guitar player, and a good singer, three things that are important", at which point he decided to enlist him in his new band.

A few days after meeting, Hughes and Watt quickly wrote two songs together – "Chemical Rain" and "Solo" – both of which were later included on the band's debut album. Speaking about this meeting, Hughes recalls that he "was so moved by the music, I said, 'We've got to record this!'", at which point he called Bonham to finalise the group's lineup. Citing bands such as Rush and Cream, the two decided against adding a keyboardist to their band, and instead progress as a power trio.

Throughout the rest of 2013, the three-piece recorded 12 songs for its debut album, all of which were credited equally among all three members. On February 6, 2014, the announcement of the formation of California Breed was made, as well as the news of first single "Midnight Oil". In March, it was announced that the band would release its debut album, California Breed, in May. Upon release, the album reached number 78 on the Billboard 200, number 22 on Top Rock Albums, and topped the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Outside of the US, it reached number 26 on the UK Albums Chart, topped the UK Rock Albums Chart, and charted in a number of European territories.

The band's debut live performance took place on May 28 at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, California. The setlist included all 13 songs from the album, plus cover versions of Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be" and "Immigrant Song", and songs by Hughes's previous bands Trapeze ("Medusa") and Deep Purple ("Burn").

2014–2015: Lineup change and breakup
In August 2014, it was announced that Bonham had left the group prior to the band's upcoming UK tour, with the announcement citing "professional commitments" as the reason preventing his continued involvement. He was replaced by Joey Castillo, and Bonham later added to the news by stating that, "I love those guys – but it wasn't going to work out for me. I will support them as I love the band I helped create, and Joey is great." Hughes later confirmed that Bonham's departure was permanent, explaining that, "his other commitments were getting in the way of his California Breed schedule. I have no disrespect for Jason, only tonnes of love. It's just that he chose to work with other people when in fact he should be working with California Breed."

On January 15, 2015, it was announced that California Breed had split up, with the band announcing on its Twitter page that "We are no more… another thing we couldn't keep together." Watt later added his own thoughts on the announcement, adding "I put everything I had into this band. All I can say is I was in it for the long haul. This is not the end – it is truly the beginning." A few days later, Hughes elaborated on the breakup, stating that it was not right to continue the band without the original lineup of himself, Watt and Bonham.

Style, songwriting, and influences
Talking about the group's style upon the announcement of its formation, Hughes summarised California Breed as "proper rock", describing the band as a mixture between traditional and modern elements of the genre. Watt identifies The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin as influences on his style, while Bonham has compared the guitarist to Jimi Hendrix. The band's debut album was written equally by its three members, and has been described as a mix between "the classic rock elements of Black Country Communion – big, meat-cleaver riffs and heart-rending vocals – but with a 21st-century gloss".

The Merchants' National Bank Building (1895), Baltimore was a historic bank building at 301 Water Street, at the corner of South Street, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was a 7-story,  Renaissance Revival style building designed by the Baltimore-based architectural firm of  Baldwin & Pennington, and constructed in 1893-1895.  Johns Hopkins, a Baltimore businessman, abolitionist, and philanthropist, had been president of the bank from 1853 until his death in 1873.

Architecture and ownership history

When the 7 story Merchants National Bank Building was completed in 1895 the Baltimore sun called it "a splendid building" and a fine addition to the many recent handsome office buildings erected in Baltimore. Optimistically, the Sun article also mentioned that the steel frame encased in brick masonry with granite facing on the outside made the structure "fire-proof throughout".

It burnt down 9 years later, a victim of the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. Almost the entire interior was destroyed, except for the banking rooms on the first floor. The bank then decided to make its headquarters a two-story building, which it remained for almost 80 years.

Merchants consolidated with the  Mechanics NB of Baltimore in 1912 and consolidated at the Mechanics' location. This property was then surplused and sold to Baltimore insurance company USF&G, which kept it till the 1970s. Baltimore Federal Savings & Loan bought the property in 1977, and in 1982 erected a new 17 story Postmodern style building, spanning the entire block between Water and East Lombard, South and Commerce Streets. The original two story building was preserved as a historic facade. The construction cost was approximately $20 million. The architect was Donald N. Coupard Associates (now DNC Architects),  and Whiting-Turner was the general contractor.

Landmark
The 1895 Merchants' National Bank Building facade is a historic district contributing property, within the Baltimore Business and Government Historic District,  which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
