title: Decoration for Merit in Gold

text:
The Decoration for Merit in Gold, post-nominal letters DMG, was instituted by the President of the Republic of South Africa in April 1996. It was awarded to veteran cadres of uMkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress, who had distinguished themselves during the "struggle" by outstanding service and utmost devotion to duty.

uMkhonto we Sizwe
uMkhonto we Sizwe, abbreviated as MK, Zulu for "Spear of the Nation", was the paramilitary wing of the African National Congress (ANC). It was established on 16 December 1961 to wage an armed "struggle" against the Nationalist government inside South Africa. On 27 April 1994, Umkhonto we Sizwe was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Decoration for Merit in Gold, post-nominal letters DMG, was instituted by the President of South Africa in April 1996. It is the senior award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Merit Medal in Silver and the Merit Medal in Bronze.

uMkhonto we Sizwe's military decorations and medals were modeled on those of the South African Defence Force and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The decoration could be awarded to veteran cadres of uMkhonto we Sizwe who had distinguished themselves during the "struggle" by outstanding service and utmost devotion to duty.

title: Lange Voorhout

text:
The Lange Voorhout () is a street in the old city centre of The Hague, Netherlands. It is L-shaped and runs from Kneuterdijk in the west to Toernooiveld in the east, reaching approximately  in length.

History

In the Middle Ages, the Lange Voorhout was bordered by several farms. Only in the 14th and 15th centuries, when the Counts of Holland modernised the governance of the county with new administrative divisions, were houses built in this area. The Lange Voorhout and surroundings pre-eminently became the neighbourhood where courtiers and later statesmen came to live. Between 1350 and 1450, the first town castles of nobles, houses of ducal staff, the Predikherenklooster and residences for high magistrates appeared here. But for centuries the elite did not hold the sole right to live on Lange Voorhout. For a long time, the street was a central terminus for all traffic from and to The Hague; wagons from Leiden and Scheveningen were garaged and unloaded here. This meant that inns, wheelwrights and forges were also established on the Lange Voorhout.

In 1536, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, visited The Hague. He decided that the front gardens of all the buildings should be joined together to create a broad avenue. He also ordered that four rows of lime trees be planted, giving it its stately aesthetic. In 1597, stadtholder Maurice, Prince of Orange, proposed to construct a canal along the street. After the Reformation, the Catholic minster was made into a cannon foundry, and a canal could have helped the transport of the heavy cannons. Although a canal was dug along the nearby Mauritskade, a connecting canal along the Lange Voorhout was never constructed, likely due to the high sand bank on which the street was located. In the Golden Age, the very rich settled in palace-like residences on the Lange Voorhout.

Architecture and notable buildings

Most Dutch renaissance buildings that were originally located along the Lange Voorhout were replaced in the 18th century. As a result, the houses along the Lange Voorhout today are predominantly 18th century, or constructed in the 19th or 20th century in an 18th-century style. Most of them are Rijksmonumenten.

The street is home to a great many institutions and monuments, including:

The Kloosterkerk, a 14th-century minster (No. 2)
Huis Huguetan (No.34–36)
Lange Voorhout Palace, today housing the Escher Museum (No. 74)
The Parliamentary Documentation Centre (PDC UL) (No. 86)
The learned society Diligentia
Pulchri Studio, an art institution and studio
Embassies of United Kingdom, Spain and Switzerland
A monument commemorating Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, constructed in 1864, near the south-eastern end

Huis Huguetan at 34–36 was once the home of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (Royal Library of the Netherlands, and subsequently (1988 to 2016) the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. In 2016 the court moved into a new building at Korte Voorhout 8.

The former Michelin-starred restaurants Saur and Royal used to be on Lange Voorhout.

title: Joel Richardson

text:
Joel Aleister Richardson (born October 15, 1969), (a.k.a. Jimmy Swann), is a Canadian artist, filmmaker and award-winning athlete.

Richardson became widely known for his controversial clash with Toronto's Mayor, Rob Ford.
His work is extensive, ranging from oil on canvas, portraits and landscapes... to his unique style of flash mob performance street art, which closed streets in the heart of the Canadian financial district. He was an invited participant to the Occupy Wall Street main art show in New York City, which took place at the J. P. Morgan Building on Wall Street. He is a member of the Directors Guild of Canada(DGC) and has over 20 IMDb credits.

Early life

Joel's childhood was spent growing up in Owen Sound, Ontario. He made a name for himself as an up-and-coming long distance runner, and in 1988 met future Olympic gold medalist, Matthew Birir and his brother Jonah Birir at the World Junior Championships in Sudbury, Ontario. At the age of seventeen Richardson traveled to Kenya where he lived in a mud hut with the Birir's in a tiny village named Metipso, in the central highlands of Kenya.

Artistic beginnings

In 1992, after returning to Canada from spending four months on the Gaza/Israeli border, Richardson was hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.
After spending a month in the hospital he rented a studio in the infamous 888 Dupont, a former factory filled with artists, musicians and hustlers. The atmosphere was a perfect storm of creativity, subversion and a shared sense of community that fueled one of the most prolific periods of his career.
Two years later Joel returned to Metipso, where he would paint the people and landscapes that had so inspired him as a young athlete. These paintings would later be displayed at his first major exhibition at the Tom Thomson Memorial Gallery.

Grenada

While at 888 Dupont, Richardson met with former members of Maurice Bishop's militia and made arrangements to travel to Grenada to paint. This eventually led him to live four months in Grenada with a fundamentalist Rastafarian family, where he painted over seventy-five paintings.

Guatemala
In Guatemala, Richardson met stock broker, Johnny English(alias). Three days later, Joel narrowly escaped an attack by banditos that left one man shot dead. These were life-changing experiences that dramatically affected his work. Finance became a major theme, and his relationship with English would inspire the yet-to-be released documentary highlighting English's eventual flight from the markets, by motorcycle, into the Sahara Desert.

Suitman

Over the years that followed, Richardson and stock broker Johnny English would stay in contact, and through several trips to Europe, particularly to English's Options Trading Firm in Paris France, Richardson got a glimpse into the wacky world of Derivative (finance). Taking what he learned from English, Joel created his own large equations based on the Black–Scholes model, and replacing certain numbers with a figure of a man in a suit.

title: Rodrigo Medellín

text:
Rodrigo A. Medellín is a Mexican ecologist and Senior Professor of Ecology at the Institute of Ecology, University of Mexico (UNAM). Known for his work in bat, jaguar, bighorn sheep and other species conservation, his research has always been designed and conducted to advice conservation policy and conservation decision-making processes in Mexico and 16 other countries for over 40 years.

Medellín uses community ecology, plant-animal interactions, population biology, and molecular ecology to solve conservation problems. He and his team have designed and implemented a three-pronged strategy where research, environmental education, and conservation actions feed back into each other and contribute to the development of activities in his projects. He is known as a very active professor, directing theses and teaching constantly, and is regarded as a charismatic communicator and lecturer who is sought worldwide.

Education
Medellin received a biology degree from UNAM in 1986 with the thesis La comunidad de murciélagos de Chajul Chiapas. He did his graduate studies at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, Florida. He obtained a PhD with the dissertation Community ecology and conservation of mammals in a Mayan tropical rain forest and abandoned agricultural fields.

Work
Medellín's impact on conservation has been significant, being Councilor of the Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), his work has resulted in the recovery of endangered species such as the lesser long-nosed or tequila Bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae), the creation of new protected natural areas, the valuation of ecosystem services by bats, and the creation of conservation programs in cooperation with industry. For example, the Bat Friendly tequila and mezcal program is quickly becoming an industry standard.

Medellín was Director General of Wildlife of the Mexican Federal Government in 1995–96. Since 1999 he has represented Mexico before the CITES Animals Committee, and was vice-chair of that same Committee for ten years. In 2011 he was elected by the CMS (Convention on Migratory Species) Conference of the Parties as Scientific Councilor. He has been an advisor of the Mexican Federal Government on wildlife issues for over 30 years. Medellín's work in CITES has led to high-level decisions in the context of sustainable use and conservation of sharks, protecting lizards, turtles, tropical fish, many mammals and birds, and promoting international cooperation. For example, between the U.S., Mexico and china in order to join forces and stop the black market and illegal take of totoaba, a fish species whose exploitation accompanies the critically endangered vaquita (Phocoena sinus).

Medellín is a Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP) member of IPBES (UNEP), the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, His work studying and protecting mammals has spanned many continents, groups, and influenced both subjects through scientific findings applied to policy. Medellín was the first non-U.S., non-European President of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) 2013–2015, and served on the board of directors of the organization for over 15 years. He was president of the Mexican Society of Mammalogists, and is the founder and director of the 25-year-old Program for the Conservation of Bats of Mexico (PCMM), and the founding director of the Latin American Network for Bat Conservation RELCOM, which today includes 23 countries. Medellín is also the creator of Global South Bats, a network of bat scientists in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Rodrigo is co-chair of the Bat Specialist Group of IUCN since 2004. Medellín co-coordinated Mexico's first National Jaguar Census, or CENJAGUAR. He has been a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Mammalogists for over 15 years.

Since 2016 Medellín has been a member of the Board of Review Editors of Science Magazine, and has been Associate Editor of the Journal of Mammalogy, Conservation Biology, ORYX, and Acta Chiropterologica.

Research and lectures
Medellín has produced over 250 publications, including over 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is also the author of over 60 books and book chapters on bat ecology and conservation, jaguar conservation and recovery, mammal diversity analyses, and the conservation of large mammals. His work has been cited over 12,000 times. His H factor is 50 and over the past 5 years he has produced 54 peer-reviewed indexed papers.

Medellín is most comfortable teaching, or in the field with his students. He has continuously taught courses on conservation biology, tropical ecology, and Mammalogy in his home institution, UNAM, and also at other institutions such as Columbia University, University of Costa Rica, International University of Andalusia in Spain, the Kenya Wildlife Service, amongst many others. He is adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York, Andalusia International University, the University of Arizona, and Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Texas Tech University, and others.

Medellín has directed over 50 thesis and dissertations of students from over 10 countries.

Achievements, Awards and Recognitions
Medellín has received various recognitions. In 2004 he received the Whitley Award for International Nature Conservation from HRH Princess Anne of England, the Gerrit S. Miller Award, given to persons "In recognition of outstanding service and contribution to the field of chiropteran biology”, and the 2004 National Nature Conservation Award from Mexico's President Vicente Fox.

In 2007 Medellín received the Aldo Leopold Conservation Award from the American Society of Mammalogists, the Outstanding Alumnus Award from the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation of the University of Florida, and the 2007 Conservation Scientist of the Year from Wildlife Trust in New York City.

Medellín received the 2008 Rolex Award for Enterprise, being only the third Mexican in over 30 years to receive this award. In 2008 he also received Volkswagen's “For the Love of the Planet” award.

The BBVA Banking Foundation selected Medellín as the recipient of their prestigious Premio Fundación BBVA a la Conservación de la Biodiversidad 2011. In 2012 he received the first-ever Whitley Gold Award from Princess Anne of England again, the first individual ever to receive two Whitley Awards. Also in 2012, he was chosen as one of the 50 individuals who move Mexico forward (Quien50) by Expansion Corporate Group. In 2019 the National Geographic Society made Medellín the seventh Explorer-At-Large, the first one not from the U.S. or Europe.

Media presence
Medellín's presence in the media is continuous, with dozens of appearances each year in national and international TV, radio, and press, from BBC, El País, Deutsche Welle, and the Wall Street Journal, to local influential publications.

In 2014 BBC Natural World produced the multi-awarded film “The Bat Man of Mexico”, (narrated by David Attenborough) covering Medellín's work on bats. In 2018 National Geographic Society produced the 1-hour documentary titled Giant Carnivorous Bats with Rodrigo Medellín, showcasing his work on these endangered, misunderstood bats.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2014 () is a bill that would amend the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to reauthorize the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) as an independent federal government advisory body through FY2019.

The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.

Background
The USCIRF defines itself as "an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission, the first of its kind in the world, dedicated to defending the universal right to freedom of religion or belief abroad. USCIRF reviews the facts and circumstances of religious freedom violations and makes policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress." Commissioners are selected by the President and the leadership of both chambers of Congress.

Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2014 would amend the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to reauthorize the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) as an independent federal government advisory body through FY2019.

The bill would remove authority under which a USCIRF member may serve after the expiration of that member's term until a successor has taken office.

The bill would amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to require the United States Secretary of State to receive assistance from USCIRF when establishing training for Foreign Service Officers in the field of internationally recognized human rights, including instruction regarding the relationship between religious freedom and security, as well as the role of religious freedom in U.S. foreign policy.

The bill would encourage the United States Department of State to allow classified information to be accessed by USCIRF Commissioners and staff with the appropriate security clearance.

The bill would revise restrictions on USCIRF's acceptance of gifts and donations to permit sponsoring private parties to provide compensation and benefits to interns, fellows, and volunteers.

Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on June 26, 2014. This is a public domain source.

H.R. 4653 would extend the authorities of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom by five years, through 2019. It also would authorize the appropriation of $3 million to the commission each year over that five-year period.

Assuming appropriation of the specified amounts, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing the bill would cost $15 million over the 2015-2019 period. Section 3 would require that Foreign Service officers receive additional training on religious freedom; CBO estimates that implementing that training would have insignificant costs.

Procedural history
The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2014 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on May 9, 2014, by Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R, VA-10). The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations. The House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the bill on June 26, 2014.

Debate and discussion
Supporters of the reauthorization of the USCIRF, such as Alan J. Reinach, argued that it should be reauthorized because "religious freedom is first both in our Constitution and in our hierarchy of values, because without respect for the freedom to order one's life according to the things held to be sacred, one loses an essential part of what makes a person human." Reinach also argued that "if Americans stop caring, the tyrants of the world will get the signal that it is open season on religious dissidents" leading to their deaths, so the USCIRF should be reauthorized to prevent this. Supporter Lincoln E. Steed agreed that the USCIRF should be reauthorized, but criticized the organization as being one that "can as easily provide cover for inaction as spur official policy."

title: Dora Hitz

text:
Dora Hitz (30 March 1856, Altdorf bei Nürnberg - 20 November 1924, Berlin) was a Court Painter to the Romanian Royal Family, a member of the November Group and co-founder of the Berlin Secession.

Life
When she was six years old, her family moved to Ansbach and at thirteen she was sent to Munich to study at the "Damenmalschule der Frau Staatsrat Weber", an art school for young women, where she studied with Wilhelm von Lindenschmit the Younger. At the Art and Industrial Exhibition of 1876, she met and became acquainted with Elisabeth of Wied, the Queen consort of Romania (perhaps better known under her literary name "Carmen Sylva"). As a result, Hitz was appointed as the Court Painter. In addition to oil paintings and book illustrations, she also created fresco murals in the Music Hall of Peleș Castle in Sinaia.

After 1880, she lived in Paris, where she studied with Luc-Olivier Merson, Gustave Courtois, Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Eugène Carrière, who had the most influence on her style. She spent 1886/87 in Romania, then returned to Paris, becoming friends with Eugen Jettel and Hermann Bahr. She travelled throughout Brittany and Normandy and, in 1890, became a member of the  Salon of the Société des Artistes Français. From 1892, she was a regular participant in the exhibitions of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts.

Although she had been and would continue to be successful in Paris, she moved to Berlin in 1892 and joined the "Vereins Berliner Künstlerinnen und Kunstfreundinnen" (an association of female artists) that gave her access to many upper middle-class clients who commissioned portraits. She founded a women's art school in 1894, operated a studio and struck up a friendship with Käthe Kollwitz. Hitz exhibited her work at the Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. In 1898, she was one of the founding members of the Berlin Secession. She was awarded the Villa Romana Prize in 1906, which included a stipendium that enabled her to spend a year in Florence.

During World War I she began to experience financial difficulties, fell ill, and gradually became a recluse.

title: Tom Walton (hurler)

text:
Thomas Christopher Walton (24 May 1921 – 18 January 1998) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Tullaroan and was an All-Ireland Championship winner with the Kilkenny senior hurling team in 1947.

Playing career

Walton joined the Kilkenny senior team in 1945 and was at right corner-forward in that year's All-Ireland final defeat by Tipperary. He held the same position when Kilkenny lost a second successive All-Ireland final the following year, this time to Cork, but finally claimed a winners' medal from right wing-forward after a defeat of Cork in one of the greatest finals of all. Walton played in his fourth All-Ireland final in 1950, after being recalled to the panel, but Kilkenny were beaten by a point by Tipperary. He retired from inter-county hurling shortly after, by which time he had also claimed four Leinster Championships. Walton also captained Tullaroan to the county senior championship title in 1948.

Later life and death

Walton worked as a rate collector for Kilkenny County Council for nearly 40 years. He died aged 76 on 18 January 1998 and was survived by his wife, five daughters and six sons, one of whom, Billy, won an All-Ireland Championship with Kilkenny in 1982.

James Francis Dimock (1810–1876) was an English cleric and historical scholar.

Life
The son of John Giles Dimock, rector of Uppingham, Rutland, he was born at Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, on 22 November 1810. He was educated at Uppingham School under Dr Buckland, was admitted pensioner of St John's College, Cambridge, on 21 February 1829, and was elected Bell's scholar in 1830. He graduated B.A. in 1833, and M.A. in 1837.

Having been ordained deacon and priest by the bishop of Lincoln, Dimock was in 1846 appointed minor canon of Southwell Cathedral; he gave up the canonry on his appointment as rector of Barnburgh, near Doncaster, in 1863. In 1869 he was made prebendary of Lincoln, and he held the prebend with his rectory until his death at Barnburgh on 21 April 1876.

Works
Dimock was interested in ecclesiastical and mediaeval history: his earliest work was Illustrations of the Collegiate Church of Southwell, London, 1854. In 1860 he published at Lincoln an edition of the Metrical Life of St. Hugh, and in 1864 he edited for the Rolls Series the Magna Vita S. Hugonis, Episcopi Lincolniensis, 1864. He also published The Thirty-nine Articles . . . explained, proved, and compared with her other authorized formularies, London, 1843, 1845, 2 vols.

His major work was his edition of part of the works of Giraldus Cambrensis for the Rolls Series; the first four volumes were edited by John Sherren Brewer, and vols. v-vii., which appeared between 1867 and 1877, by Dimock; the edition was completed with an eighth volume by George Frederic Warner.

title: Pamela Sklar

text:
Pamela Sklar (born July 20, 1959, in Baltimore, Maryland - died November 20, 2017, in New York City) was an American psychiatrist and neuroscientist. She was Chair of the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences and professor of psychiatry, neuroscience, and genetic and genomic sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She was also chief of the Division of Psychiatric Genomics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Sklar is known for her large-scale gene discovery studies in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and for making some of the first statistically meaningful gene identifications in both mental illnesses.

Education

Sklar completed her bachelor's degree in classics and philosophy at St. John's College in 1981. She went on to complete her MD and then her PhD in neuroscience at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She carried out her residency in psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School, where she also carried out postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Richard Axel.

Research

Sklar's research and clinical work focused on characterizing the biology underlying mental illnesses, in particular schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Her studies of DNA variation have identified both common and rare genetic changes associated with these disorders. While working at the Broad Institute, Sklar co-founded the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research and served as its genetics director. By studying thousands of affected individuals and comparing them with thousands of healthy people, she was the first to associate recurrent large deletions of DNA with the onset of schizophrenia and also found the first broadly reproducible genetic variants in schizophrenia as well as bipolar disorder using genome-wide association studies. Sklar and her colleagues discovered a molecular basis for polygenicity in schizophrenia among both rare and common DNA alterations and that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are genetically linked through DNA variants that contribute to both illnesses. In 2011, Sklar joined the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and became founding chief of the Division of Psychiatric Genomics there. The division's scope includes stem cell biology, neurocognition, statistical genetics, and imaging approaches to elucidate the biological variation causing mental illness. While at Mount Sinai, Sklar published papers demonstrating that schizophrenia is linked to many ultra-rare genetic variants. Sklar served as a principal investigator for the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, the largest international collaboration in the psychiatric community. She helped lead the consortium's working group on bipolar disorder. She also co-founded the International Schizophrenia Consortium. After she died, Icahn School of Medicine renamed their Division of Psychiatric Genomics in her honor.

Sklar edited the textbook Neurobiology of Mental Illness, and published more than 140 peer-reviewed scientific papers.

She was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2013.

title: Francis Street (cricketer)

text:
Francis Edward Street (16 February 1851 – 4 June 1928) was an English cricketer who played in four first-class matches for Kent County Cricket Club during the mid-1870s. He was a right-handed batsman who played regular club cricket for a range of sides as a prolific batsman.

Street was born at Hampstead in Middlesex in 1851, the son of Henry and Jane Street. His father was a solicitor. Street was educated at Uppingham School where he played cricket in the school side. He played club cricket for Uppingham Rovers, a strong side during the 1880s, as well as other amateur sides such as Beckenham, Free Foresters, Incogniti and MCC.

Living for a time at Brasted in Kent, he made his first-class debut for the county side in 1875 against Derbyshire, making two further appearances the same year against Sussex and playing in the return match against Derbyshire. He played his final first-class appearance in 1877 against Nottinghamshire. Street had little success in his four appearances, scoring just 21 runs, with a high score of 12. He was described in Scores and Biographies as "A promising bat and good field, generally taking long-leg or cover-point."

Street worked as a chartered accountant. He married Sarah Partridge in 1883; the couple had five children. He died at Armidale, New South Wales in 1928 aged 77 whilst visiting Australia.

title: Give the People What They Want (The Kinks song)

text:
"Give the People What They Want" is a song by the British rock band, The Kinks. Released on their 1981 album Give the People What They Want, the song was written by the band's main singer and core songwriter, Ray Davies.

Background

The origins of "Give the People What They Want" are found during the sessions from Low Budget, where it was included in early running orders of the album. "Give the People What They Want", however, would be held from the final line-up of Low Budget.

Release

"Give the People What They Want" was released as the second track on The Kinks' 1981 album Give the People What They Want. It wasn't released as a single in any countries. The song appeared in live form on two of the band's live albums, Live: The Road in 1988 (this rendition of the song appeared on the compilation album Lost & Found (1986-1989) and the American release of To the Bone in 1996. It has since appeared on multiple compilation albums, including You Really Got Me: The Very Best of the Kinks and the box set The Arista Years.

Reception

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that "there's a certain charm in ... his pure cynicism on ['Give the People What They Want']" and went on to cite the track as a highlight from the Give the People What They Want album. Music critic Robert Christgau called "Give the People What They Want" misanthropic.

title: Robert de Leycestre

text:
Robert, or Henry de Leycestre (died after 1369) was an English cleric, judge and Crown official, who held office as Master of the Rolls in Ireland.

Little is known of his early life, although his surname suggests that he was born in Leicester. Ball gives his first name as Robert, but in official records, he is usually called Henry. He may have enjoyed the patronage of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel, since the living of Keevil, Wiltshire, to which he was presented in 1347, was in the Earl's gift.

He is first heard of in 1332 as a member of the household of Eleanor of Woodstock, sister of King Edward III; presumably he played a part in the preparations for her marriage to Reginald II, Duke of Guelders, in May of that year, and may have accompanied her to Guelders.

In 1350 he was sent to Ireland as Master of the Rolls: his full title was "Keeper of the Rolls and other memoranda of the Chancery of Ireland". In 1352 he became second chamberlain of the Exchequer of Ireland, although the appointment was later revoked on the ground that it had been a "mistake". In 1368, the Privy Council of Ireland ordered payment to him of £10, in part payment of £20 owing to him for services rendered. He was still alive and in office at Easter 1369 when the Council ordered payment to him of another £10.

title: USS Arctic (1855)

text:
The first USS Arctic was a steamer in commission in the United States Navy from 1855 to 1856 and from 1858 to 1859. She also served in the United States Coast Survey as a survey ship from 1856 to 1858, and with the United States Lighthouse Board as a lightship from 1859 to 1879.

Arctic was constructed by the Philadelphia Navy Yard at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1855. The U.S. Navy commissioned her for the purpose of rescuing the Arctic expedition under the command of Passed Assistant Surgeon Elisha K. Kane. She put to sea from New York City in company with  on 4 June 1855. The two ships found Kane and his men at Disko Island in Baffin Bay, off the west coast of Greenland, where they had arrived after a hazardous 84-day journey over pack ice and through water in open boats. Arctic and Release returned to the United States with Kane and his party aboard in the autumn of 1855.

In July 1856, Arctic returned to sea to make depth soundings in preparation for the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. By late in the month, she was at St. John's in the Dominion of Newfoundland, where she began her series of soundings. She arrived at Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland on 23 August 1856. On her return voyage, Arctic completed more soundings for the cable before arriving at Sr. John's on 30 September 1856. She then moved from St. John's back to New York, where she was decommissioned on 21 October 1856.

Arctic was commissioned into the U.S. Coast Survey, and in 1857 and early 1858 she made further cable soundings in the Atlantic Ocean. Recommissioned into U.S. Navy service, she cruised the waters around Cuba between May and July 1858 in company with an American naval squadron sent there to protect American merchant ships from British cruisers still practicing their so-called "right" of visit and search.

Early in 1859, Arctics propulsion machinery was removed, and she was turned over to the U.S. Lighthouse Board for duty as a lightship. After 20 years of lightship service off the coast of North Carolina, she was sold at public auction on 16 April 1879.

title: Shockoe Valley

text:
Shockoe Valley is an area in Richmond, Virginia, just east of downtown, along the James River, and is the entertainment center of the city. Located between Shockoe Hill and Church Hill, Shockoe Valley contains much of the land included in Colonel William Mayo's 1737 plan of Richmond, making it one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. Shockoe Valley encompasses the smaller neighborhoods of Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom and Tobacco Row along Cary Street.

History
Shockoe Valley began developing in the late 18th century following the move of the state capital to Richmond, aided by the construction of Mayo's bridge across the James River (ultimately succeeded by the modern 14th Street Bridge), as well as the siting of key tobacco industry structures, such as the public warehouse, tobacco scales, and the Federal Customs House in or near the district.

On the eve of the fall of Richmond to the Union Army in April 1865, evacuating Confederate forces were ordered to set fire to the city's tobacco warehouses. The fires spread, and completely destroyed Shockoe Slip and several other districts. The district was quickly rebuilt in the late 1860s, flourishing further in the 1870s, and forming much of its present historic building stock.

Throughout the 19th Century, Shockoe Valley was the center of Richmond's commerce with ships pulling into port from the James River. Goods coming off these ships were warehoused and traded in Shockoe Valley.

Up until the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the area played a major role in the history of slavery in the United States, serving as the second largest slave trading center in the country, second to New Orleans. Profits from the trade in human beings fueled the creation of wealth for Southern whites and drove the economy in Richmond, leading 15th Street to be known as Wall Street in the antebellum period, with the surrounding blocks home to more than 69 slave dealers and auction houses. In 2006, archaeological excavations were begun on the former site of Lumpkin's Jail.

On the eve of the fall of Richmond to the Union Army in April 1865, evacuating Confederate forces were ordered to set fire to the city's tobacco warehouses. The fires spread, and completely destroyed Shockoe Slip and several other districts. The district was quickly rebuilt in the late 1860s, flourishing further in the 1870s, and forming much of its present historic building stock. Architecturally, many of the buildings were constructed during the rebuilding following the Evacuation Fire of 1865, especially in a commercial variant of the Italianate style, including a 1909 fountain, dedicated to "one who loved animals." The buildings in the district, which historically housed a variety of offices, wholesale and retail establishments, are now primarily restaurants, shops, offices, and apartments. It warehoused many of the city's goods, mostly tobacco. The district began declining in the 1920s, as other areas of the city rose in prominence with the advent of the automobile. Numerous structures would be demolished and cleared, including (in the 1950s), the Tobacco Exchange, which had been at the heart of the district. Up until they moved from Tobacco Row in the 1980s, the area was home to many of the country's largest tobacco companies.

Redevelopment
Beginning in the 1960s and accelerating in the 1970s, Shockoe was redeveloped as a commercial and entertainment district; the nightlife district came just after Richmond passed liquor-by-the-drink laws, and when the so-called fern bar became popular across the United States. The restoration came at the time of an increased interest in historic preservation around the time of the Bicentennial, with the district being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Early pioneer restaurants included The Tobacco Company, Stuffy's Going Bananas, Commercial Cafe and Sam Miller's, the last two being revived restaurant names from Richmond's 19th century.

It became a major entertainment district in the last two decades of the 20th century. After centuries of periodic flooding by the James River, development was greatly stimulated by the completion of Richmond's James River Flood Wall and the Canal Walk in 1995. Ironically, the next flooding disaster came not from the river, but from Hurricane Gaston which brought extensive local tributary flooding along the basin of Shockoe Creek and did extensive damage to the area in 2004, with businesses being shut down and many buildings condemned.

Shockoe also included some of the earliest rehabilitated downtown apartments; at the time of the restoration asphalt paving was removed to expose historic Belgian block streets.

A major boom in residential growth was created in the mid-1990s when old warehouses in Tobacco Row were converted into warehouses. Since then, more vacant buildings have been replaced with residential dwellings and new ones have been built. Furthermore, more quality restaurants have moved into the area. Unfortunately, the area lacks retail and tourism. That is expected to change with the Revitalize RVA plan which could attract new development of apartments, a grocery store, and a hotel, all surrounding a stadium. Other projects include the revamping of the 17th Street Farmer's Market into an Open-air pedestrian mall with al fresco dining for the restaurants, the Main Street Station's Train Shed into an urban market with a bike storage facility and bus Rapid Transit station, and Lumpkin's Jail into the Slavery and Freedom Heritage Center. The future of Shockoe is said to be Richmond's center for entertainment and tourism.

title: Tyler Joseph

text:
Tyler Robert Joseph (born December 1, 1988) is an American singer, rapper, musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known as the frontman for the musical duo Twenty One Pilots, alongside bandmate Josh Dun. He has been nominated for six Grammy Awards as a member of Twenty One Pilots, of which he has won one.

Early life
Joseph was born in Columbus, Ohio and has two younger brothers, Zack and Jay Joseph (the latter of whom is also a musician), as well as one sister named Madison Brett. His mother, Kelly Joseph (née Stryker), was a math teacher in the Olentangy school district before being named Olentangy Orange High School's basketball coach in 2013. His father, Christopher Anthony "Chris" Joseph, is half Lebanese and was a coach at Worthington Christian High School from 1996 to 2005, as well as being a former school principal.

Joseph was homeschooled in his childhood. His first real exposure to music was the Christian rap rock group DC Talk. Joseph played basketball from a very young age and went on to play point guard for Worthington Christian. In 2008, the varsity basketball team placed second in the Division IV state tournament. Future Twenty One Pilots bassist Nick Thomas also played on the same team with Joseph, the pair having performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" together at one of their games.

In 2007, Joseph began uploading short comedic skits and videos to a YouTube channel named "slushieguys". The channel currently has over 124 thousand subscribers as of January 2023, despite not uploading any content since 2013.

After seeing a songwriter perform at a High Street Club, he rejected an opportunity to play basketball at Otterbein University along with a scholarship to the university. He began playing music after finding an old keyboard in his closet, a Christmas gift from his mother, and began to mimick various radio melodies. From around 2007 to 2008, Joseph recorded a solo project titled No Phun Intended in his basement. It was later revealed that Thomas contributed guitar to several songs on the album.

Among Joseph's first performances with Twenty One Pilots, he recounts that his mother would often stand outside of Ohio State University giving away tickets to his shows. "She'd be like, 'Come see my son play music, Joseph says.

Career

2007–2009: No Phun Intended
Between 2007 and 2008, before assembling the band Twenty One Pilots, Tyler Joseph recorded a variety of songs in his basement. On November 30, 2008, during his senior year of high school, Joseph uploaded six of these songs to his PureVolume account, calling the release No Phun Intended. The six tracks are "Taken by Sleep," "Drown," "Tonight," "Save," "Hole in the Ground," and "Blasphemy," in that order.
Some of Joseph's early music has been reworked into Twenty One Pilots recordings. It was later revealed that aside from Joseph, bassist Nick Thomas contributed guitar to several songs.

In 2015, the project became unavailable, but the No Phun Intended tracks and many other songs from this time period were collected by fans and assorted into compilations. On July 2, 2018, Joseph's song "Going Down" and an untitled demo surfaced on the Internet, many years after the initial discovery of No Phun Intended.

2009–present: Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots was formed in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio and consisted of frontman Tyler Joseph, bassist Nick Thomas, and drummer Chris Salih; the latter two left the band in 2011.

On December 29, 2009, they released their debut, self-titled album and began touring Ohio, followed by their second album, Regional at Best in 2011, which consisted only of Joseph and newly-recruited drummer Josh Dun.

Twenty One Pilots' third full-length album, Vessel, was released on January 8, 2013. They also embarked on a tour in support of the album, in which they named the "Quiet Is Violent World Tour".

On March 17, 2015, the band announced their fourth album's title, Blurryface, and unveiled its track listing and release date. The band's fans crashed their website attempting to pre-order the album. The album was released on May 17, 2015, two days ahead of its intended release date. Joseph and drummer Josh Dun embarked on two international tours in 2015 and 2016: the Blurryface Tour and Emotional Roadshow World Tour. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, the duo won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

On July 11, 2018, the band announced the release date of their fifth studio album, Trench, which was released on October 5, 2018. A world tour, called The Bandito Tour, began on October 16, 2018, as well. On July 25, 2018, a music video for the song "Nico and the Niners" was released, as a second addition to a three part music video series, regarding Tyler Joseph's fictional city, "Dema". A 10-second snippet of the song "My Blood" was played at the end of a commercial for Trench during the 2018 VMAs on August 20. On August 27, 2018, a Twitter user leaked the full song onto his Twitter account in low quality, after they found that it could be played on their Apple HomePod. The leak was confirmed real when the band made the song available on streaming services later that day as the album's fourth single. The audio was uploaded onto YouTube on the same day, which shows singer Tyler Joseph in his home studio playing the song's bass line. A music video for the song was released on October 5, 2018, the day of the album's release.

On April 9, 2020, the band released a new single "Level of Concern". The song's lyrics reference the anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic, also, the accompanying music video for the track was filmed in Joseph and Dun's homes while they were under lockdown due to the U.S. state and local government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Joseph directed a portion of the song's proceeds to Crew Nation, a charity for live music crews who cannot be paid during the international quarantine.

On December 8, 2020, Twenty One Pilots released a Christmas song, titled "Christmas Saves the Year", during a Twitch livestream hosted by Joseph. Originally, Joseph was reluctant to write a Christmas song, although he said that he was inspired by the fact he was "experiencing Christmas through a little girl's perspective." The sound of the track was inspired by a musical instrument called the Mellotron.

The duo's sixth studio album, Scaled and Icy, was released on May 21, 2021.

Other ventures

Tyler Joseph had a solo project before starting Twenty One Pilots where he released a full-length album titled No Phun Intended. The release was available for listening purposes on his PureVolume account until 2018, when the music service shut down. The album was recorded in Joseph's senior year of high school from 2007 to 2008, in his basement. The song "Save" off the release, was redone and released as a free download for some time on Twenty One Pilots' official website before it was then pulled.

In 2010, Joseph was featured in the song "Live" by the hip hop artist and rapper Joseph Michael Langston (better known by his stage name Jocef, or sometimes as Jocef Michael), who is a friend of Joseph's from college, along with two other rappers, Juda and Alon. The song is the opening track to Jocef's debut album, In Search of: L.O.V.E. The track was co-written by Tyler Joseph and Jocef. Jocef eventually returned the favor a year later by being featured on the song "Be Concerned" off of Twenty One Pilots' 2011 album Regional at Best.

In 2011, Joseph was performed a leading role in Five14 Church's three episode mockumentary titled "The (moderately inspiring tale of the) Longboard Rodeo Tango". According to the mockumentary, Joseph was an intern at the church at the time.

In 2012, Joseph was featured in an internet-use awareness video titled "What's Your Story?" The video was produced and directed by Mark C. Eshleman, a regular collaborator for Twenty One Pilots, for Trend Micro's annual Where Are You Contest. The room used in the video is the same room in which the original music video for "House of Gold" was filmed.

On December 24, 2013, Christmas Eve, Joseph participated and sang "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" at Five14 Church's Christmas with the Stars in New Albany, Ohio. The official video of the performance was uploaded to YouTube on February 14, 2014. He also performed a magic segment with the church's host and emcee David McCreary for the show.

Joseph also contributed to a few tracks for Five14 Church's worship album Clear by the gospel rock band New Albany Music led by Travis Whittaker "Whittaker". Joseph appears on four tracks out of thirteen in total. Additionally, another single was recorded called "Dead Come Alive".

In December 2014, Joseph contributed backing vocals to the song "Sickly Sweet Holidays" by Dallon Weekes (then-bassist of Panic! at the Disco). Joseph initially had an entire verse in the song, but it was excluded due to Joseph's label.

Joseph assisted in much of the production of singer Shania Twain's sixth studio album Queen of Me, and is a writer on the last song, "The Hardest Stone" as well. On September 12, 2023, Jon Foreman posted a cover of "Stressed Out" on social media along with an announcement that Joseph would be covering his band Switchfoot's song "Twenty-Four." Joseph later described The Beautiful Letdown as one of his "favorite albums of all time," something that he would listen to "over and over again."

Personal life

In 2014, within regards to religion, Joseph said:

Joseph is a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. He is also an ally of the LGBT+ community.

Joseph has a three-part tattoo that represents "something that saved his life". Though it is assumed it deals with his Christian faith, Joseph has been specific about the fact that he does not want the meaning of his tattoos spread across the internet. However, he has stated a few times that he is willing to tell people one-on-one if they decide to ask him in person. They received it on stage during their hometown show at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion on April 26, 2013. Joseph's is located on his right bicep and Dun's is located on his neck behind his right ear. Joseph is a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

In mid-January 2015, Tyler Joseph served at former bandmate Chris Salih's wedding as an attendant, alongside Twenty One Pilots producer Mark Eshleman.

Joseph married Jenna Black on March 28, 2015, after they became engaged on July 8, 2014. On September 7, 2019, Joseph and his wife announced that they were expecting a child. Their daughter was born on February 9, 2020. On September 12, 2021, during a performance at the MTV VMA's, Joseph announced that he and his wife were expecting their second child. Their second daughter was born on April 8, 2022.

title: Kirya Ne'emana

text:
Kirya Ne'emana (, "Faithful City"), commonly known as Batei Nissan Bak (, "Nissan Beck Houses") was a historical Hasidic Jewish neighborhood established opposite Damascus Gate in the New City of Jerusalem in 1875. In the 1880s and 1890s it was joined by additional housing for Syrian, Iraqi, Persian, Georgian, and Caucasian Jews. Most of the residents fled the area during the 1929 Palestine riots and their houses were occupied by Christians and Muslims. In the 2000s a handful of Jewish families reclaimed houses in the neighborhood.

Etymology
The name Kirya Ne'emana comes from Isaiah :

And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; afterwards you will be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

History

Kirya Ne'emana was one of the first nine Jewish neighborhoods established outside the Walls of Jerusalem, and one of the six Jewish neighborhoods  founded in the 1870s. Kirya Ne'emana was located opposite Damascus Gate along the road to Damascus. The British Mandatory government renamed this road Street of the Prophets in the early 1920s.
The neighborhood was established in 1875, the same year as the Beit Ya'akov neighborhood on Jaffa Road. The land was purchased by Nissan Beck, leader of the Hasidic community in Jerusalem, and Rabbi Shmuel Mordechai Warshavsky, under the auspices of Kollel Volhin. The developers wished to honor philanthropist Moses Montefiore and his wife Judith by calling the neighborhood Ohalei Moshe VeYehudit (Tents of Moses and Judith) and its main street, Montefiore Street. For a while, the neighborhood was called Ir Tzedek (, "City of Righteousness", also from the verse in Isaiah 1:26). However, all these names fell out of use and the neighborhood was popularly known as Batei Nissan Bak ("Nissan Beck Houses").

The homes of Kirya Ne'emana were built between 1878 and 1893. Though the developers had procured a sizable piece of land, only 30 of the planned 60 houses were constructed due to lack of financing. The remainder of the land was apportioned to several other groups: Syrian Jews, Iraqi Jews, and Persian Jews. The Persian Jews, who worked in the construction trade, built their own homes, which were generally small and shabby. In the 1890s another neighborhood, Eshel Avraham, was erected next to Kirya Ne'emana for Georgian and Causasian Jews. One hundred homes and a synagogue were initially built in Eshel Avraham, which grew to include five synagogues. The proximity of these Jewish neighborhoods to the Walls of Jerusalem lent a sense of security to Jews walking from Mea Shearim to the Western Wall.

In 1884 the cornerstone was laid for Kirya Ne'emana's sole Hasidic synagogue, Ohalei Yaakov, donated by a wealthy London Jew.

Kirya Ne'emana attracted many prominent Hasidim as residents – including Nissan Beck himself. However, Beck was forced to sell his house to pay off debts and he returned to the Old City to live in a rented flat, where he died in 1890.

By 1897 Kirya Ne'emana and its adjacent neighborhoods numbered 120 homes. A 1916 survey reported a total of 297 homes and 812 residents.

Evacuation
Kirya Ne'emana was hard hit during the Arab riots of 1929. Nineteen residents were killed and buried in a mass grave on the Mount of Olives. Burglaries were rife, homes were destroyed, and three of the area's synagogues were burned. Virtually all the Jewish residents fled the area, save for a handful of Sephardi Jews, and their houses were occupied by Christians and Muslims.

During the 1948 war, the remaining Jews left the area. As a result of the 1949 Armistice Agreement, the border between West and East Jerusalem divided the Jewish homes of Musrara from the now Arab homes of Kirya Ne'emana. The area fell under Israeli control in the Six-Day War but the houses remained Arab-owned. Some of the original buildings, and others that were constructed by Arabs, are located between Nos. 2 to 20 Street of the Prophets. These buildings house workshops, bakeries, and two pilgrim hostels.

In 2001 an organization called Hachomot Hashalem (, "The Complete Walls") began quietly negotiating for Jewish reacquisition of residences in the former neighborhoods of Kirya Ne'emana and Eshel Avraham. By 2004 four families of Jewish settlers had arrived in the area. In 2009 Arutz 7 reported that six Jewish families had reclaimed homes in Kirya Ne'emana.

title: EC 20058-5234

text:
EC 20058-5234 (QU Telescopii), is a star in the constellation Telescopium. With an apparent magnitude of 15.03, it's impossible to detect with the naked eye and requires a powerful telescope to be seen; this degenerate object is located 388 light years from the Solar System based on parallax.

QU Telescopii has a classification of DB2, which states it's a white dwarf with He I lines present in its atmosphere. At the moment, it has 56.9% the mass of the Sun, but a high surface gravity suggests QU Telescopii has a low radius. It has an effective temperature of 24,843 K, which gives it a blue hue as opposed to a white hue. QU Telescopii belongs to a class of stars known as V777 Herculis variables or DBV stars. First noticed in the Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey published in 1992, it  was found to be variable in 1995.

title: Merit Medal in Silver

text:
The Merit Medal in Silver, post-nominal letters MMS, was instituted by the President of the Republic of South Africa in April 1996. It was awarded to veteran cadres of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress, who had distinguished themselves during the "struggle" by exceptionally meritorious service and particular devotion to duty.

uMkhonto we Sizwe
uMkhonto we Sizwe, abbreviated as MK, "Spear of the Nation" in isiZulu, was the paramilitary wing of the African National Congress (ANC). It was established on 16 December 1961, to wage an armed "struggle" against the Nationalist government inside South Africa. On 27 April 1994, Umkhonto we Sizwe was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Merit Medal in Silver, post-nominal letters MMS, was instituted by the President in April 1996. It is the middle award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Decoration for Merit in Gold and the Merit Medal in Bronze.

Umkhonto we Sizwe's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the South African Defence Force and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The decoration could be awarded to veteran cadres of Umkhonto we Sizwe who had distinguished themselves during the "struggle" by exceptionally meritorious service and particular devotion to duty.

Order of wear

The position of the Merit Medal in Silver in the official military and national orders of precedence was revised upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged.
