title: Kate Kelly (feminist)

text:
Kathleen Marie Kelly (born ) is an American activist, human rights lawyer, and Mormon feminist who founded Ordain Women, an organization advocating for the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Kelly was excommunicated from the church in 2014. She is also a nationally known advocate for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and abortion access.

Kelly came out as queer in 2019 and began a same-sex relationship with a Catholic writer pushing for similar goals within the Catholic Church.

Early life and education
Kelly was born in Arizona to Jim and Donna Kelly. One of five siblings, she grew up in Hood River, Oregon. Her mother is an attorney and her father a retired newspaper publisher and university administrator. Both parents were converts to the LDS Church, and her father at one time served as the bishop of a local congregation, known as a ward.

Kelly graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 2006. While at BYU, she organized a campus free speech protest of nearly 100 students concerning the firing of a university employee for criticizing student elections. While at BYU, and for a time after she graduated, Kelly wrote for The Mormon Worker, a Mormon left-leaning publication modeled after the Catholic Worker newspaper founded by Dorothy Day. In 2010 Kelly founded "Mormon May Day" as a day for liberal or radical Mormons to hold a collective fast and make their voices heard within Mormonism on progressive themes.

Kelly earned a Juris Doctor from the Washington College of Law at American University in 2012.

Career
During Kelly's legal career, she has worked for many different human rights and advocacy organizations. She is the host of the podcast Ordinary Equality on the Wonder Media Network, and the author of Ordinary Equality: The Fearless Women and Queer People Who Helped Shape the U.S. Constitution and the Equal Rights Amendment (Gibbs Smith, 2022). Kelly's book Ordinary Equality was favorable reviewed by Oprah Magazine, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Kirkus Reviews.

Ordain Women
In May 2013, Kelly founded Ordain Women, an organization advocating for the ordination of women to the priesthood in the LDS Church. Local church leaders asked Kelly to cease her campaign. Kelly subsequently demonstrated on Temple Square during the church's April 2014 General Conference, after which she was excommunicated in June 2014 in absentia after declining to attend a disciplinary council. She instead submitted a written defense through her representative Nadine Hansen, a fellow Mormon feminist attorney, and hundreds of letters on her behalf from supporters.

In the weeks before and after her excommunication, Kelly urged followers to stay in the church and "raise hell" if they could do so while maintaining their mental and emotional health. Kelly appealed her excommunication, first to her stake president, then to the church's First Presidency, all of whom rejected the appeal.

Kelly often states that “equality is not a feeling,” meaning gender equality is something that can be objectively measured and does not depend on the individual feelings of worthiness or individual women feeling valued by their community.

Catholic Church
In October 2015, Kelly participated in the attempted ordination of a female Roman Catholic priest coordinated by the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests, an organization claiming affiliation with the Catholic Church. Ordination of women to the Catholic priesthood goes against canon law and any known participants are automatically excommunicated.

Women's rights
In January 2017, Kelly helped plan the Utah contingent of the Women's March on Washington and helped organize several hundred women to attend the march in Washington, D.C. The following Monday she organized and emceed one of the largest marches in Utah's history on the State Capitol in Salt Lake City. At that rally, Kelly said, “I'm sick and tired of men making laws about our bodies and our choices and our lives without consulting us.”

In May 2019, Kelly helped facilitate workshops in Uruguay and Argentina for the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed. Kelly then participated in workshops put on by the Rapporteurship in Geneva in September 2019 and New York in October, situations where the human rights of women, sexual orientation and gender identity minorities clash with the right to freedom of religion or belief. The workshops culminated in a report which was presented to the Human Rights Council in early 2020.

Kelly has long spoken out about sexual harassment and assault against women. In January 2020, with a group of other women and activists, she performed the viral anti-rape protest anthem "Un Violador en Tu Camino" (The Rapist in Your Path) outside the Harvey Weinstein trial in New York City. Kelly said of the action, "pointing the finger of blame for sexual assault at the appropriate target ... was a cathartic experience, to feel our collective feminist power as a force for good."

ERA
In August 2012, the same year she graduated law school, Kelly attended her first rally for the ERA on the front lawn of the United States Capitol. Kelly then helped revive the group Mormons for ERA originally founded by excommunicated Mormon feminist Sonia Johnson.

In 2017, after the women's marches worldwide turned attention to women's rights, Kelly helped draft an ERA ratification resolution in Utah (one of 15 unratified states at the time) and helped recruit state senator Jim Dabakis to sponsor the resolution. The ERA has not been ratified in Utah and is opposed by the LDS Church, but Kelly continues to advocate for ratification there. Kelly said in Truthout that more interest in the ERA exists today because, "I think that women are realizing that nothing that we have is permanent. Nothing is too sacred to be rolled back, and things that we have taken for granted in the past are now up for grabs." She is featured in the MSNBC documentary This Happened: On Account of Sex on the ERA. For the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, Kelly wrote a piece for Rewire News connecting votes for women to the continued campaign to ratify the ERA saying, "Today, two fights are left unwon—universal suffrage and ratification of the ERA."

In December 2019, Kelly led a group of ERA activists in a demonstration on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The group gathered outside the Salt Lake Temple and sang Christmas carols with reinvented lyrics about equality. They then projected an "ERA YES" symbol, which was over three stories tall, on the LDS Church's conference center.

In January 2020, Kelly launched a podcast called Ordinary Equality on the past, present and future of the ERA. The title of the podcast was chosen from a quote by Alice Paul, the author of the ERA in 1923, who said of the amendment: "Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality." Ordinary Equality has been recommended by the Today Show and Marie Claire as well as featured on shows such as WNYC's All Of It with Alison Stewart. The podcast was mentioned in a story about the ERA in The New York Times, "The Roadblocks to Equal Rights for Women, a Century Later" after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove the original deadline on ERA ratification in March 2021.

Kelly has written about how the ERA will combat discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. She also co-wrote a piece with Virginia delegate Danica Roem, the first out-and-seated transgender state legislator in U.S. history, called "The Equal Rights Amendment Can’t Be Defeated by Anti-Trans Scare Tactics" about the role transgender women are playing to get the amendment ratified. Kelly wrote in The Advocate in August 2020 that the LGTBQIA community needs to be more vocal in its support of the ERA, "to get the protection and recognition that well over 50 percent of the population deserves — for women, girls, nonbinary folx, our transgender siblings, and all marginalized genders and sexual orientations."

Because of her zeal for the ERA, Kelly was featured in a 2020 Glamour magazine piece where she said her excommunication "was a gift because it set me free to work on other causes and things I am passionate about and places that actually need me and value my work" and that "that freedom of religion includes freedom from religion."

On June 29, 2020, Kelly was co-counsel on an amicus curiae brief filed on behalf of the ERA youth activism organization GenERAtion Ratify in the case Commonwealth of Virginia v. David S. Ferriero. The amicus brief argues:

In May 2022, Kelly wrote an Op-Ed arguing that the ERA and abortion are tied. She said, "If we at long last finalize the ERA, we can achieve abortion access based on equal citizenship."

Personal life
Kelly served a one-and-a-half-year mission for the LDS Church in Barcelona, Spain, and as a result is a fluent Spanish speaker. She has also lived and worked in other Spanish-speaking communities like San Jose, Costa Rica, and San Cristobal de Las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico.

Kelly married J. Neil Ransom in the Salt Lake Temple in 2006. The couple were "childless by choice". On March 14, 2016, Kelly confirmed she and her husband had divorced.

By 2016, Kelly no longer claimed religious affiliation with any particular denomination or group. In 2018 she founded "Sacred Space", her own feminist/womanist, interreligious, inclusive celebration of women and nonbinary people of all faith traditions, along with Yale divinity professor and Baptist preacher Eboni Marshall-Turman and trans Jewish activist Abby Stein.

On April 15, 2019, Kelly came out as queer on Twitter. She is dating Catholic writer and theologian Jamie Manson, whom she initially met at a women's ordination conference in 2015. In January 2020 she was quoted for the first time in the media and identified as queer: "'As a queer woman, I cannot tell you how elated I am to finally see myself reflected in our nation's most foundational document,' added Kelly."

title: Big Four Poster Bed

text:
"Big Four Poster Bed" is a song written by Shel Silverstein and performed by Brenda Lee featuring the Nashville Sound.  The song reached #4 on the U.S. country chart and #2 on the Canadian country chart in 1974.  It was featured on her 1974 album, Now.

Song story
A sentimental tale, the song—as told through the eyes of a young woman—tells the story of a bed her father built with his own hands; the bed's frame and headboard are made of rough-cut pine, and on it lay a patchwork quilt and feather-downed pillows her mother made shortly before their wedding. The song recalls the future the newly married couple made for their future and their future family, as well as the stories of the girl's relationship with her father.

Later, her father falls ill and, in his last days, recalls many fond memories with his family as they keep a bedside vigil. After he dies, the woman remarks how at peace her father appeared to be lying in the bed he (literally) made.

In the final verse, the woman (now an adult) is about to take her wedding vows and ask her husband to uphold the same values of fidelity and trust her parents did, before spending their first night together in the same four-poster bed her father built years ago.

The Taylorville Courthouse Square Historic District is a  historic district located in downtown Taylorville, Illinois. The district encompasses most of Taylorville's downtown business center; while it is primarily commercial, it also includes several important government buildings. The Christian County Courthouse, a Romanesque building constructed in 1902, forms the centerpiece of the district. While development in the district began in the late 1830s, only two buildings in the district predate 1875. The first major growth period represented in the district occurred from 1875 to 1900; the commercial buildings from this period feature Italianate, Romanesque, Beaux-Arts, and Queen Anne designs. Another period of construction followed the courthouse's opening; in the ensuing decades, several Classical Revival and Prairie School buildings opened, as did the Mission Revival public library. Since 1935, the district has remained largely intact.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1985.

title: Swedish Literature Bank

text:
The Swedish Literature Bank is a non-profit organisation whose objective is making classic Swedish literature and literary criticism freely available in digital editions. It is a collaboration between the Swedish Academy, the National Library of Sweden, the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, the Swedish Language Bank at the University of Gothenburg, the Swedish Society for Belles-Lettres, and the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland.

The Swedish Literature Bank publishes Swedish literary classics from the Middle Ages on, including "minor classics" and major historical and religious works, in four digital formats: searchable e-text, facsimiles of the original edition, PDF files and EPUB files. The texts are based either on the first edition or on a subsequent scholarly edition. Authoritative presentations of authors and genres are also provided.

The initiative began after a suggestion by Sven Lindqvist in the early 2000s. The Swedish Academy held a seminar exploring the idea in 2002, and in 2004 a two-year pilot project began with funding from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. The project foundation was then organised in 2006. Starting at a time of rapid expansion of Swedish higher education institutions, the project was designed to address the problem of the many new Swedish colleges needing to set up libraries with expensive older literature, and to make older Swedish literature freely available anywhere in the world. In contrast to the older Project Runeberg, where anyone can help proofread the scans, the Literature Bank texts are proofread by scholars. They are chosen by an editorial committee, around certain themes such as works by female writers, older crime fiction and science fiction, and from suggestions by the public. The project has been described as "a Swedish mini-variant of Google Library".

title: Kohala Hydropower Project

text:
The Kohala Hydropower Project is a proposed run-of-the-river, high head project of 316 meters that will be located near Kohala, in Azad Kashmir. In 2020 the project's agreement was finalised later it was formally signed in a ceremony attended by the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran khan, and Chinese ambassador.

Location
The diversion dam site is on Jhelum River near Sarran Village 40 km upstream from Muzaffarabad and a 20 km long tunnel connects to the powerhouse which is located at Barsala 7 km upstream from Kohala Bridge.

Background
China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC), the state-owned hydropower developer, won the right to develop a hydroelectric dam in Pakistan on January 7, 2015. The Kohala Hydropower Project will be CTGC's largest investment in Pakistan.

In December 2018  the people of Muzaffarabad held protests against Kohala dam design due to its planned water diversion via tunnel which will bypass the Muzaffarabad city.

Design
The dam's feasibility study and detailed engineering designs were performed by SMEC. The Kohala hydroelectric scheme will have a gravity, roller-concrete compacted dam on the upper branch of the Jhelum, 40 km from Muzaffarabad. The powerhouse, on the lower branch of the Jhelum near Barasala, will house four 281-MW Pelton turbines.

Tariffs
CWE is required to construct the project on a build, own, operate and transfer basis. In 2014, local published reports said the average tariff for the first 12 years was set at 8.9 cents per unit and during the following 18 years would be 5.1 cents per unit. The average tariff for the 30-year life of the project is 7.9 cents per unit. The tariff ensures 17 per cent return on equity on internal rate of return basis.

Carbon credit
The project is expected to earn carbon credit from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for clean energy development under the Kyoto protocol.

title: Rao Saheb (film)

text:
Rao Saheb is a 1985 Hindi period drama film directed by Vijaya Mehta, a noted theatre director. It is based on a Marathi novel Andharachya Parambya by Jaywant Dalvi, on which he also wrote the play Barrister. The film set in small rural town in Maharashtra in early 19th century, and deals with clash of progressives and orthodox traditions, while depicting plight of women especially widows in traditional Indian society under feudalism and oppressive patriarchy. The film starred Anupam Kher, Vijaya Mehta, Nilu Phule, and Tanvi Azmi.

At the 33rd National Film Awards for 1985 films, the film won two awards; Best Supporting Actress for Vijaya Mehta, while Sham Bhutkar won the award for Best Art Direction.

Synopsis
A young barrister, Rao Saheb, returns from England after his education, and brings progressive ideas back with him. In other words, he is enamored of western ways and customs and conditioned to regard his own society as backward and repressive. He returns to his childhood home, a large mansion in small-town Maharashtra, where life goes on as placidly as it always has, quite unmoved by western ways or the officious efforts of modernists to bring about a social revolution. Rao Saheb's father is a conventional man who holds dear the values of his Brahmin caste: education, religion, tradition, austerity (frugality) and self-denial in personal life. His great tryst with modernity was to send his son, at very great expense, to England for higher education. His sister, who keeps house for him, is a childless widow of even greater orthodoxy. Mausi ("auntie"), played by Vijaya Mehta herself, is the vanguard of Brahminism at the start of the film. Radhika, a young widow who lives in a neighbouring home, is a great friend and protégée of the elderly widow. In Radhika, auntie sees the picture of her own lonely youth as a young widow, and the prospect of a lonely old age. Radhika however is inclined to rebel against the customs of austerity and self-denial which were expected of Brahmin widows at the time. Auntie, she of the unshakable orthodoxy, is torn within herself when she finds that her nephew is growing alarmingly close to the nubile young widow. As Rao Saheb begins to get closer to Radhika, empathizes with her and comes close to her, Mausi ends up as a champion of modernity and a denouncer of Brahminical values such as austerity, self-denial and the strictures of religion or tradition.

title: Erlistoun

text:
Erlistoun Station is a pastoral lease that has operated as a cattle station and more recently as a sheep station in Western Australia.

It is situated approximately  to the north of Laverton and  east of Leinster in the Goldfields-Esperance region. Borodale Creek runs through the property from Davis Pool on the northern boundary meandering through waterholes to Namendarra Lake on the southern boundary.

Erlistoun was known as a district in the area before the station was established. The lease was first taken up by Butcher and Uhr in 1904, originally on a block extending northward from Laverton for a distance of  with a width of . The company was initially running cattle at Erlistoun, 1,000 head of which they had overlanded down from the Kimberley.

The Emanuel brothers owned the property in 1911 when it was sold to Kalgoorlie-Boulder Firewood Company. At this time the property occupied an area of  and was still running cattle. In 1924 the property was estimated to be carrying 5,500 head of cattle. By 1925 the size of the property was estimated as being  and was stocked with 4,000 head of cattle. Sheep had been introduced to the property by this time and in 1926 it was stocked with 7,000 cattle and 5,000 sheep. Shearing the same year yielded 31 bales of wool per 1,000 sheep. Another 4,000 sheep were due to arrive at the station in late 1926.

Erlistoun was the initial location of the first feature-length film shot in Western Australia; scenes for the film Down Under, directed by Harry Southwell, were shot at the station in 1926.

The area received heavy rains in 1929 with Erlistoun recording over  in 24 hours and over  in total for the month. The normally dry creek ran for a length of over  through the property. In 1930, the property was running a flock of 13,000 sheep. In the same year the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Firewood company changed its name to the Erlistoun Pastoral Company; the directors were Alex Porter, J. McCalmont and E.H. Jolly.

In 2003 the property was being plagued by wild dogs attacking the sheep. Other properties in the area were similarly affected.

The area is popular amongst gold prospectors. Guest accommodation is available on Erlistoun in the shearers' quarters.

title: The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard

text:
The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard () is the first novel by Anatole France, published in 1881. With this, one of his first prose works, he made himself known as a novelist; he had been primarily known as a poet affiliated with Parnassianism because of his Poèmes dorés, which imitated that verse style. The novel received the Académie française prize.

In 1929 it was adapted into a French silent film of the same title.

Summary
The novel contains two stories, both related through the diary entry of Bonnard, Sylvestre Bonnard, a member of the Institut de France, a historian and philologist who lives among books. In the first part " La Buche", he seeks, in Sicily and Paris, a precious manuscript of the French version of the Golden Legend, which he eventually obtains. In the second, "Jeanne Alexandre," he meets by chance a young girl named Jeanne, the granddaughter of a woman he once loved. (Before the revision of 1902, Jeanne was a daughter and not a granddaughter). To protect the child from her abusive guardian Maitre Mouche, and from her employer Mme. Préfère, (who herself has desings on Bonnard) Bonnard in effect kidnaps her, and she ends up marrying Henri Gelis, one of Bonnard's students.

Character
Bonnard, the protagonist, is modeled on the author. Although Bonnard is an old intellectual who spends most of his time reading, he is otherwise very like the author at the time the book was written. France portrays Bonnard as naïve and candid, a passive gentle watcher without competence in the real world. Bonnard is not simple or unmoved, but reluctant to involve himself. France, like his protagonist Bonnard, spent much of his time reading, with few friends and few encounters with reality. Yet he was wise, discussing and writing about the problems of existence.

Irony
The novel, told as diary entries, has been claimed to be written in the style of O. Henry and Guy de Maupassant, romantic and realist writers respectively, whose stories often have ironic endings. France was known as an ironist. In The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard, the chief irony is that which is considered a crime. The protagonist considers the "crime" to be that he keeps some of the books he was going to sell for Jeanne's dowry. But the reader understands Bonnard's crime to be that he abducts the girl from her abusive guardian, thus rescuing her. To call a rescuer a criminal is ironic. Janko Lavrin has claimed that it was not so much that France was ironic, but that he was detached. He claimed he had a free mind and could "accept the relativity of things".
Edwin Dargan compared France's humor in the book to that of  Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne and Charles Dickens; Dickens's Pickwick and Bardell are similar to Mlle. Préfère's pursuit of Bonnard.

Criticism

Dargan suggests that the second story is only loosely related to the first, "La Buche." In the first edition, they were even less related before France revised the novel in 1902. He describes "La Buche" as an anecdote and "Jeanne Alexandre" as an episode.  Frank Magill feels that the 'novel' is little more than a character study of Bonnard.

title: Vine Creek, Kansas

text:
Vine Creek is a ghost town in Ottawa County, Kansas, United States.

History
Vine Creek (also known historically as Vine) had a post office from 1879 until 1932.

In 1888, a rail line of the Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad opened from Manchester, Kansas in the east to Barnard in the west, a 43 mile line, with a stop at Vine Creek. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway acquired the railroad in 1901.  An application was filed in 1983 to abandon this "Minneapolis District" line.

The 1912 cyclopedia of Kansas described Vine as a "village" on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with "a money order postoffice and telegraph and express office. The population in 1910 was 50. The railroad name is Vine Creek."

Education
Children living near the former community is served by North Ottawa County USD 239 public school district.

title: Tiesa (New York)

text:
Tiesa (truth) was a Lithuanian-language newspaper published by the Association of Lithuanian Workers (), a fraternal benefit society, from 1930 to 2006 when the association merged into the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum. The full collection of Tiesa issues is preserved at the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Archives in microfilm format.

The Association of Lithuanian Workers was established in June 1930 as a communist-leaning splinter of the Lithuanian Alliance of America. The new society established its own publication, Tiesa, which was distributed to association's members free of charge. The association was based in Brooklyn, then Ozone Park, and since 1982 in Middletown, New York. The editors were Rojus Miraza (1930–37), who went on to become editor of Laisvė, Jonas Gasiūnas (1937–50), Jonas Siurba (1950–83), Emilija Juškevičienė (1983–?).

Initially, Tiesa was published twice a month, but in 1955 it switched to a monthly schedule. The last issues of Tiesa were published in newsletter format. The publication reported on activities of the association (board resolutions, financial reports, results of association's athletic teams, etc.), published bits of Lithuanian culture (poetry, songs, recipes, language lessons), and offered advice (health, finances, travel). Early issues also included general news of United States, Lithuania, and the world. As of 2003, advertising was not accepted.

title: Maccabi Tiberias F.C.

text:
Maccabi Tiberias Football Club (Hebrew: מועדון כדורגל מכבי טבריה) was an Israeli football club based at Tiberias. The club was founded in 1925, the first football club established in Tiberias. It was dissolved in the 1990s.

History
The club was founded in 1925, and had its ground opened on 13 October 1927. The club participated in the Second Edition of the Palestine Cup, but due to its remoteness and the hardship of travelling during the British Mandate the club had to settle to playing local sides and didn't take part in IFA competitions until after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.

The best years of the club in the Israeli league were during the mid-1970s, when the club made it to the third tier, Liga Bet and played in this level for three seasons, until the league system was reconstructed and the Liga Artzit was added at the second tier, making Liga Bet the fourth tier. The club played in the lower tiers until it was dissolved in the 1990s.

The club shares the Israeli record for biggest margin of victory in an Israel State Cup match, a record obtained on 8 October 1983, when it beat Hapoel Sajur 24–1 in the 1983–84 Israel State Cup, tying Maccabi Zikhron Ya'akov record of 25–2.

title: Michael Waistell Taylor

text:
Michael Waistell Taylor (1824–1892) was a Scottish physician, known also as an antiquarian.

Life
The son of Michael Taylor, an Edinburgh merchant, was born at Portobello in Midlothian on 29 January 1824. He was educated at Portsmouth, and matriculated at the University of Edinburgh in 1840, studying botany and graduating with an MD in 1843. In the following year he obtained a diploma from the Edinburgh College of Physicians and Surgeons. He was appointed assistant to Professor John Hutton Balfour, and was also one of the founders and early presidents of the Hunterian Medical Society.

During 1844 Taylor studied surgery at Paris for nine months, and then visited European cities collecting botanical specimens. In 1845 he settled at Penrith in Cumberland, and soon after that succeeded to the practice of Dr John Taylor. In 1858 he discovered that scarlet fever might be caused by contamination in the milk supply. In 1868 he assisted in founding the border counties branch of the British Medical Association, and was the second to hold the office of president.

Taylor as an antiquary made local discoveries: the vestiges of Celtic occupation on Ullswater, the starfish cairns of Moor Divock, the prehistoric remains at Clifton, and the Croglin moulds for casting spear-heads in bronze. He was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 27 May 1886, and was a fellow of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries, a member of the Epidemiological Society, and a member of the council of the Royal Archæological Institute. He joined the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archæological Society soon after its formation in 1866.

Taylor retired from medical practice in 1884, and died in London on 24 November 1892. He is buried at Penrith in the Christ Church burial-ground.

Works

Taylor was the author of medical treatises on  subjects, and in 1881 wrote a substantial article on the fungoid nature of diphtheria. At the time of his death he had completed a long work on the Old Manorial Halls of Westmorland and Cumberland (London, 1892).

Family
In 1858 Taylor married Mary Rayner, daughter of J. H. Rayner of Liverpool. Together they had three daughters and three sons.

title: Floridobolus

text:
Floridobolus is a genus of millipedes commonly known as Florida scrub millipedes containing three described species: Floridobolus penneri, F. orini, and F. floydi; the latter two described in 2014. All three species are endemic to Florida scrub habitat of peninsular Florida, and F. penneri is considered a critically imperiled species by NatureServe. Prior to the description of F. orini, the genus (then only a single species) was considered the sole member of the family Floridobolidae, named by William T. Keeton in 1959, however studies in 2014 have argued that Floridobolus does not represent a distinct family but rather is a basal member of the family Spirobolidae, representing the subfamily Floridobolinae, and tribe Floridobolini.

Description
Species of Floridobolus range from  long with 45 to 50 body rings or segments as adults. The body is not purely cylindrical, but rather is widest around the 12th or 13th rings, and tapers towards the head and telson (rear end). The body is oval in cross section whereas most other related millipedes are circular in cross section. The body color ranges from slate gray to olive, with some species more uniform while others having lighter yellowish bands on the rear margin of body rings.

Species
The three species of Floridobolus differ primarily in shape and proportion of the gonopods (male reproductive appendages), and in geographic location, each occurring on different sand ridges running from north to south in Florida.

Floridobolus penneri

Floridobolus penneri was described in 1957 by Nell B. Causey based on individuals collected near the Archbold Biological Station. Mature individuals generally range from  long and 10.8 to 11.6 mm wide. Its known natural predators include larval Phengodes laticollis (glowworm beetles) and adult Mastigoproctus giganteus (giant whip scorpions). F. penneri has been assessed by NatureServe as critically imperiled globally and nationally due to a range of less than 1,000 square kilometers (400 square miles), few populations known, and historic decline in Florida scrub habitat.

Floridobolus orini
Floridobolus orini was described in 2014 and is only known from the Ocala National Forest. Individuals grow from  long, 10 to 13 mm wide, and possess 47 to 50 body rings (segments). The body color is gray with body rings bordered in yellow.

Floridobolus floydi
Floridobolus floydi was also described in 2014, based on individuals collected in Citrus and Hernando counties, occurring further west than other Floridobolus  species. With a median body length of around , F. floydi is generally smaller than other Floridobolus.

title: Illinois State Bank Building

text:
The Illinois State Bank Building is a historic bank building located at 201 N. Chestnut St. in Assumption, Illinois. The building was constructed in 1900 to replace the Illinois State Bank's previous building, an 1883 structure which burned down in 1899. Local architect Ira Tobias designed the bank, which features a tower above its front entrance; such towers were a distinguishing mark of Tobias' work and can be seen on two other surviving buildings in Assumption. The Illinois State Bank operated from the building until its closure in 1933; during this time, it handled 80-85% of Assumption's banking business. The building later housed the Assumption Building and Loan Association and the law offices of George J. LaCharite.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1984.

title: Pamilacan

text:
Pamilacan is an island barangay in the Philippines, situated  south of Bohol island and surrounded by the Bohol Sea (also called Mindanao Sea). It is one of the 17 barangays that compose the municipality of Baclayon. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 1,418, comprising about 240 families whose main livelihoods now concentrate on dolphin- and whale-watching tours and subsistence fishing, but in the past also included whale, dolphin and manta ray hunting.

Pamilacan perhaps means "resting place of the mantas", but it can also be considered to derive from the word pamilac, or harpoon, a device that was historically used to capture the mantas, dolphins and whales.

On the northeast part of the island is a 200yearold Spanish fort, which in the past served as a watchtower for the Spaniards to look out for intruders, such as pirates and other enemies, particularly those coming from the south. Along with the other watchtowers in Dauis, Panglao, Maribojoc, Loay and Balilihan, the island's watchtower was declared by the National Museum of the Philippines as a National Cultural Treasure under the collective group of Bohol Watchtowers on August 29, 2011

Aside from being famous for the whaleshark and dolphin-watching activities, the island is also known for its white sand beaches and renowned for its snorkeling and dive sites, such as Dakit-Dakit.  or  is a sunken plateau about  deep, to the west of Pamilacan. It is covered with coral but lies in the middle of the ocean, which is why there usually is a very strong current. Here one can see black-white banded sea snakes, sea turtles, moray eels, nudibranchs and bucket sponges.

title: Blaine, Kansas

text:
Blaine is an unincorporated community in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, United States.  It is located 29 miles northeast of Manhattan at the crossroads of K-99 and K-16.

History
Many of the first settlers or their family members had originally immigrated to America during the Great Famine of Ireland and then slowly moved westward. The immigrants established the settlement of Butler City along Bluff Creek which served as the first settlers' main water source. Butler City was officially platted at tier 6 south, ranges 9 and 10 east on October 14, 1879; the young town's namesake was Father Thomas Ambrose Butler, an Irish Priest in St. Louis, who encouraged the original settlers to "colonize" in and around modern day Blaine.  The community initially was settled by 60 Irish Catholics families in 1873. The Irish emigrants came from a poor Irish neighborhood of St. Louis known as the “Kerry Patch”.  A post office was opened in Butler City in 1874

Since another town was already named Butler City in Kansas, residents decided to rename the town to Blaine after James G. Blaine. A railway was built a short time later. The rail line that originally ran through Blaine was built as a narrow-gauge railroad called the Kansas Central. It was standard-gauged by the Union Pacific and was finally abandoned in 1934. Another little railroad was built from Blaine seven miles south to Westmoreland called the Kansas, Southern & Gulf Railway. It was later changed to the Westmoreland Interurban Railway and used a touring car and trailer on railroad wheels to move freight. It was razed in 1915.

Although Irish Catholics made up the majority of Blaine and the surrounding area, these people did not exist in cultural isolation. The original Irish settlers in Blaine were joined by a few German families throughout the latter part of the 19th century. At Blaine's peak, there were approximately 200 people living in the community. Today it is around 30, a majority of whom are the descendants of the original settlers.

Demographics

Religion
Blaine is historically and to this day primarily Catholic. In 1881, the first church was completed. The church was named St. Columbkille Catholic Church and Mount Calvary cemetery was established in 1885.  In 1908, a larger red brick gothic-style church was built to replace the previous church.  It's Knights of Columbus Council was chartered in 1921, and remains active today.  The church has remained open through parish consolidation has occurred in rural areas.  Weekly Mass is still celebrated, although instead of a resident priest, the parish shares a priest with several other churches in the area.

Education
The community is served by Rock Creek USD 323 public school district.

A Catholic school was opened in 1919 and was active until 1966.  A storm damaged both the school and church in June 2010, the church was fixed but the school couldn't be economically repaired, so it was razed.  Soon afterward, a new parish community center was built to hold social functions.

Notable people
 Thomas Butler (1837–1897), Irish American Catholic Priest known for his writings on Irish Immigration and his promotion of Irish settlements in the state of Kansas, as well as the founding of Butler City.

title: The Opposite of Hallelujah (Defiance)

text:
"The Opposite of Hallelujah" is the first episode of the second season of the American science fiction series Defiance, and the series' thirteenth episode overall. It was aired on June 19, 2014. The episode was written by Kevin Murphy and directed by Michael Nankin.

Plot
Nine months later...

Datak (Tony Curran), who was elected as the new mayor of Defiance at the end of Season One, is now imprisoned in Earth Republic's Camp Reverie after murdering Colonel Marsh. He is replaced as "provisional" mayor by the E-Rep-appointed Niles Pottinger (James Murray).

Stahma (Jaime Murray) visits Datak in the prison camp, and he asks her to get him out sooner than the ten years to which he was sentenced,  fearing that otherwise his business empire will collapse. Stahma tells him that their solicitor is working on it and reassures him that Alak (Jesse Rath) has taken over the business and he is doing really well. When Stahma leaves, Doc Yewll (Trenna Keating) who's also imprisoned, approaches Datak and asks for his help to a plan she has on how to escape. Datak takes her offer and agrees to help.

Back in Defiance, Amanda (Julie Benz) has taken over the Need/Want, her sister's business, after Kenya's (Mia Kirshner) disappearance. Stahma, who killed Kenya and knows she is not coming back, tries to convince Amanda to move on but Amanda is sure that Kenya will return.

Rafe (Graham Greene) works in the gulanite mines, now "nationalized" by E-Rep order. While working, an accident happens and Large (Roman LeBeau) dies. His distraught sons, Josef (Ryan Kennedy) and Hyatt (Sam Earle), are caught vandalizing an E-Rep poster and are arrested. Niles orders his bio-man assistant Churchill (Rob Archer) to "take care of them." Driving them to prison, Churchill lets the two boys escape, and they run into Hellbug territory where Hyatt is killed. Josef returns home and announces Hyatt's death. Amanda realizes their escape was arranged so as to make examples of the boys, and confronts Niles in his office demanding to know what happened. Niles shows her a video of the moment the boys escaped and says he didn't have anything to do with it, but Amanda doesn't believe him. She regrets having turned down Niles' offer to make her his chief of staff months earlier, speculating that if she hadn't, Hyatt might still be alive, and agrees to take the job "for now."

Alak deals with a supplier, Skevur (Michael Dyson), who delays the delivery of the drug called Blue Devil and convinces Alak to give him more time. Stahma warns Alak that he showed weakness and his father would never do that. She then takes action on her own, having Skevur beaten into returning Alak his payment. Alak realizes that his mother is responsible and confronts Stahma, who reveals that the family business really belongs to her and demands that Alak follow her orders from now on.

Meanwhile, in New Chicago, Nolan (Grant Bowler) continues his search for Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). Nolan tracks down Daigo (Ben Cotton), the man who tortured Irisa when she was a little girl, interrogating and killing him. He heads to the Angel Arc to continue his search. Running into an old enemy who tries to kill him, he is reunited with Irisa, who appears and saves his life.

When Nolan asks what happened to her, Irisa lies to him, saying that E-Rep forces caught her. Nolan doesn't believe her, saying he saw her fall into the artifact in a vision, then woke up healed of his wounds. Irisa dismisses it as post-traumatic stress and says that she must return to Defiance after seeing "Young Irisa/Irzu" (Katie Douglas). While getting supplies, Irisa walks off and kills a woman for no reason. Irisa doesn't tell Nolan anything about her visions or her actions, and the two of them leave for Defiance.

At the end of the episode, Irisa has another vision of herself killing Nolan while Young Irisa/Irzu is there; Amanda uses Blue Devil; and it is revealed that Niles has a camera on Amanda's room and watches/spies on her.

Rowan Kaiser from The A.V. Club gave the episode a B rating saying that he was surprised that the show fast forwarded nine months instead continue from the cliffhangers of the previous season. "...To Defiance's credit, almost every single aspect of its new setup is more interesting than the first season's. Yet it does so without betraying or ignoring the events and characterizations of its early episodes. [...] I think the thing I admire most about "The Opposite Of Hallelujah" is that it's a commitment. Defiance could quite easily have reverted to the status quo, or it could have pressed ahead with some totally different mythological tone. Instead, it's respected its first season plot developments, while working to improve what it can and drive the story forward in the best possible fashion."

Michael Ahr from Den of Geek rated the episode with 4.5/5 saying: "...the pleasant surprise of the Defiance season 2 premiere is that it makes the entire first season read like exposition. Everything has been shaken up, mostly for the better."

Rutledge Daugette from Nerdy Raptor rated the episode with 4.6/5. "The Defiance season 2 premiere is one that shouldn’t be missed. Granted, it doesn’t have the same amount of action that we became accustomed to, but it does an excellent job of taking a series of events and somewhat foreshadowing the future of the show. With so many loose ends left in the premiere, the second season of Defiance is sure to be action packed."

Abbey White from Screen Spy gave a good review to the episode saying that it was a pretty sound one. "There was not a lot of action nor were there too many physical world changes. The character interactions, however, were some of the series best written. Perhaps this season will, despite the show’s heavy mythology and universe building, rely more on its characters to propel the narrative. If that’s the way they plan to go, things should definitely be interesting."

Kevin Yeoman from Screen Rant gave a good review to the episode. "'The Opposite of Hallelujah' benefits greatly from the additions to the cast, as Mayor Pottinger and Viceroy Mercado help break up the tenuous peace that defined the town of Defiance all last season, by drawing a clear line in the sand between the oppressors and the oppressed. That offers a different kind of dynamic than has been seen, and it opens the door for even more interesting and unlikely pairings"

Ricky Riley from The Celebrity Cafe also gave a good review to the episode, saying that the season started with a bang. "Over all, this was very good season opener. I will have to say that this show knows how to choreograph fight scenes like no one else can. Action movies should take note. Hell, all TV should take note. [...] This season is looking up. It has all the potential of being better than the first."

Jesse Schedeen from IGN rated the episode with 7.8/10 saying that the nine months time-jump might be "a comfortable way to ease back into the series, though it's not the most exciting way to kick off a new season." Schedeen closes the review saying: "Defiance's second season gets off to a good start, but not necessarily a great one. The new status quo allows for interesting changes in the lives of all the main characters, but the overall vibe and direction of the show hasn't changed as much as might have been expected given how Season 1 wrapped."

Andrew Clark from ThreeIfBySpace says that the season opener was weak. "I was disappointed with the content and was left still waiting for something to happen that never did. [...] The plot for this episode jumped around multiple times.  In my opinion there are too many story arcs going on at the same time [...] With so many story arcs there is a lot of content, but not exclusive to one arc.  This prevents me from finding a character I like and from being able to follow a clear story line."

title: Julie & Carol: Together Again

text:
Julie & Carol: Together Again is a 1989 American musical comedy television special performed by Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. It aired December 13, 1989 on ABC and was directed by Jeff Margolis.

Background
This event marked "25 years after Andrews' and Burnett's first music and comedy special in Carnegie Hall, 18 years since their last at Lincoln Center". Many of the crew had worked with the two on some of their previous projects, including producer-writers Ken and Mitzie Welch, costumer Bob Mackie, and musician-arranger Peter Matz.

Andrews said "The thought over the years, is that we would love to do a series of shows, starting here and then going on to 'Julie & Carol in London,' 'Julie and Carol in Paris,' maybe even in Moscow or at the Great Wall of China."

Contents
The show featured "reminiscences, a rap, an unconventional comic tea party, a medley, and a country-style "Phantom of the Opry." No dancers. No other singers. Just the two of them on stage together performing with a full orchestra."

One of the main themes is growing older.  The Morning Call noted: "Now in their mid-fifties, the women sensibly - and they are both sensible women - deal with middle age up front. No longer the young and adored toasts of Broadway as they were when they met - Andrews in "My Fair Lady" and Burnett in "Once Upon a Mattress" - they address motherhood and the other changes that time has brought."

Critical reception
The show has received highly positive reviews.

title: Flush, Kansas

text:
Flush is an unincorporated community in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, United States.  It is located between St George and Westmoreland.

History
Flush derived its name from Michael Floersch, a pioneer settler. When the post office was opened in Flush in 1899, the postmaster-general could not pronounce Floersch and changed the name to Flush. Postal service was discontinued in 1927. The church and community were settled predominately with German-speaking immigrants. The church maintained German-speaking priests until 1927. The church also opened a parish school in the 1890s which ceased operation in 1976.

The town was poised for increased growth with the planned expansion of a railroad through Flush in 1908. The Floersch family even constructed a grain mill in Flush that was designed to serve the railroad. However, the railroad was never constructed and the town never saw the growth the immigrants in the region expected. Most of the residents at the townsite of Flush departed for other communities by 1914.

Today, all that remains of the community is the St. Joseph's Catholic Church campus, which includes a rectory, parish hall, and cemetery flanking both sides of Flush Road. The church building was built in 1901, and was last remodeled in 2001.  Flush and the St. Joseph Church community are recognized around the region for the annual Flush Picnic, a fried chicken dinner fundraiser and fair that benefits the church community. The picnic draws crowds of more than 2,000 people to Flush and is typically held the last Wednesday in July every year.

Education
The community is served by Rock Creek USD 323 public school district.  The Rock Creek High School is located one mile north of Flush and was built in 1991.

The Catholic parochial school in Flush was closed in 1976. The Flush High School mascot was Flush Rockets.

title: Chetwynd River

text:
The Chetwynd River, a perennial river of the Glenelg Hopkins catchment, is located in the Western District of Victoria, Australia.

Course and features
The Chetwynd River rises southwest of , and flows generally west by north before reaching its confluence with the Glenelg River west of . The river descends  over its  course. It can be crossed by vehicle (in order from upstream) at the east end of Steep Gully road, Nareen, then Tites bridge on Careys road, Nareen, then at the Casterton-Edenhope road about one mile south of Chetwynd, and again on the same road at the bridge 40 yards east of the Chetwynd T-junction, and finally just east of the northernmost point of the Chetwynd Junction road.

Flow in late summer can be reduced to a trickle, but after good rains in July/August flow rates can approach 5000L/sec.

Major Thomas Mitchell, Surveyor-General of New South Wales, explored the district in 1836.  His party camped beside the Chetwynd River on the night of 4 August.  He named the river "Chetwynd" after his second-in-command, Granville William Chetwynd Stapylton.  Stapylton was subsequently dispatched to trace the Chetwynd River to its confluence with the Glenelg River, some 10 miles north.

title: Dendrobium plicatile

text:
Dendrobium plicatile is an Asian orchid species, a member of the genus Dendobium. It was formerly described as Flickingeria fimbriata.

Distribution
The orchid's native regions include Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, and Malesia.

It is found in Borneo, Cambodia, South and Central China, Hainan, Himalayas East, India ( Assam), Java, Laos, Nusa Tenggara islands, Malaya, Nepal, Nicobar Islands, Philippines, Sulawesi, Sumatera, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Description
The methanol extract of D. plicatile has been shown to scavenge the superoxide anion radical ·O2−. Flower extracts from the closely related species Dendrobium officinale have also been proven to reduce fatty liver disease, oxidative stress, and inflammation, protecting against alcohol-induced liver injury.

From the stems, three phenanthrenes can be isolated, named plicatol A, B and C.

The plant also contains the norditerpenoids named flickinflimilins A and B and steroids.
