title: Aravaipa, Arizona

text:
Aravaipa, formerly Dunlap, a former populated place, on Arizona Gulch, a tributary of Deer Creek, tributary to Aravaipa Creek north of Klondyke in Graham County, Arizona.  Aravaipa lies at an elevation of 4596 feet.

History
Originally a ranch headquarters, named Dunlap after Burt Dunlap, the local rancher who established it in 1882.  Burt Dunlap was the postmaster of the post office from 1883 until 1892.  He also served several terms in the territorial legislature.  When it was found there was already a post office with the same name, the post office and town were renamed after the local Aravaipa Apache.  In 1893 the post office was closed.

Aravaipa's population was 17 in 1900, and 12 in 1920.

Aravaipa, a mining and ranching town, boasted a school, store, and a pool hall.  Today there are a few buildings and outhouses left.

title: Fet Church (Luster)

text:
Fet Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fet in the Indre Hafslo area. It is one of the churches for the Fet og Joranger parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1894 by the master builder John Alver using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 220 people.

From the hill where Fet Church is located, it is not long way away to the neighboring Joranger Church. Historians have often wondered why these two churches were built in the Middle Ages so close together. Jon Laberg, the author of the old local history book for Hafslo discussed the reason that Fet and Joranger each have their own churches, even though these farms lie near to each other. Laberg thinks that the owners of these farms could not reach agreement on a common church, so they each built their own church. Today, these two churches belong to the same parish.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but the church was built before that time. The first church was a wooden long church that was likely built during the 13th century on a plot of land about  east of the present site of the church. Around 1650, the old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new church on the same site. The new church was a timber-framed long church. In 1894, the old church was torn down and a new church was constructed about  west to a more stable building site since the foundation of the older church was sinking into the soft soil. The new church building was built by John Alver. The church was consecrated on 12 November 1894 by Bishop Frederick Waldemar Hvoslef. During the 1960s, there were some renovations. Heating work was improved so the church wasn't as cold and drafty, new flooring was installed, and a new roof was installed. About 20 years later in the 1980s, the church was enlarged to make room for a bathroom and sacristy on the northeast side of the building.

title: Paul Zukerberg

text:
Paul H. Zukerberg (born November 20, 1957) is an American activist, lawyer, and politician. Through a series of lawsuits and appeals, Zukerberg successfully ensured the direct election of the Attorney General of the District of Columbia in 2014 after the Council of the District of Columbia and incumbent Irv Nathan sought to postpone the vote.

Career
Zukerberg is the son of a self-taught musician who played at bar mitzvahs and weddings from Paterson, New Jersey. He graduated from Hamilton College, moved to Washington, DC to attend law school at American University, and received his JD in 1985.
 He became a criminal defense lawyer because he likes going to trial and he "just can't stand when someone gets the raw end of the deal." He currently lives in Adams Morgan with two children and is a founding parent of the EL Haynes Public Charter School. In 2016, Zukerberg founded Zukerberg & Halperin, a personal injury law firm with offices in Washington, DC and Richmond, Virginia.

Campaign for DC Council
In April 2012, Zukerberg declared his candidacy for a special election to the at-large seat on the DC Council with a pro-marijuana platform. According to Zukerberg, in 2011, DC was first in pot arrests with a record number that year. His council candidacy raised awareness about the importance of marijuana decriminalization in Washington, DC.

One of Zukerberg's opponents, Elissa Silverman, unsuccessfully sought to have him disqualified by challenging the validity of his signatures. Zukerberg launched and paid for an outside firm to investigate the list of DC registered voters. Zukerberg said he discovered that the District of Columbia Board of Elections has not been properly updating its rolls, including failing to process 66,000 change-of-address forms.

In the special election, held on April 23, 2013, Zukerberg came fifth out of eight candidates, receiving 1,195 votes (2.09%).

Fight for an Elected Attorney General
In 2010, 90,316 District residents voted "overwhelmingly" to put D.C.'s first elected attorney general on the ballot in 2014.

In July 2012,  the DC council voted to postpone the election of attorney general to 2018. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson called the vote "an embarrassment."  In September 2013, Zukerberg filed suit against the DC Council and the city elections claiming any delay would violate the District charter — which was amended through the 2010 ballot question to provide for the Attorney General election. Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan initially argued that Zukerberg was not suffering any "meaningful hardship" from pushing back the election. In  November 2013, Zukerberg announced his candidacy for Attorney General and argued that he would suffer irreparable harm if it did not occur.

On February 7, 2014, a District of Columbia judge ruled that ballots for the April 1 primary could be printed without the Attorney General race. Zukerberg appealed the ruling.

On June 4, 2014 the Court of Appeals overturned the lower court's decision. According to the ruling, the Court of Appeals "[determined] that the Superior Court's interpretation was incorrect as a matter of law and reverse." They stated in the ruling that original language in Elected Attorney General Act is ambiguous in stating the election "shall be after January 1, 2014," and that the attorney general referendum that was ratified by a majority of D.C. voters last year made it seem as though the election would take place in 2014. On June 13, Zukerberg collected nominating petitions.

Campaign for Attorney General

Zukerberg has said he would better represent the public interest than previous Attorneys General, support decriminalization of marijuana, and increase the ease with which nonviolent criminal records are expunged to promote restorative justice. He was endorsed by the Washington Teachers' Union, D.C. Councilmember Tommy Wells, the operator of D.C. Urban Moms & Dads, and the Washington City Paper.

According to a September 2014 Washington Post poll, Zukerberg led the field of Attorney General candidates, with a 7 to 9 point advantage over each of his four competitors, Lorie Masters, Edward "Smitty" Smith, Karl Racine, and Lateefah Williams. However, the poll also found that 57% of the electorate was undecided.

Zukerberg finished fourth behind Karl Racine, who won with 37% of the vote.

title: Reverential capitalization

text:
Reverential capitalization is the practice of capitalizing religious words that refer to deities or divine beings in cases where the words would not otherwise have been capitalized. Pronouns are also particularly included in reverential capitalization:

In this example, the proper name "God", like "Day" and "Night", is capitalized and the pronoun "He" is a reverential capitalization. While proper names are capitalized universally, reverence for any particular divinity is not universal. In short, when pronouns that are usually lowercase are capitalized, this usually implies that the author personally reveres and regards as a deity the antecedent of that pronoun.

Nouns which are used as titles for a deity may also be capitalized. Examples include "the Lord", "the Father" and "the Creator".

Capitalizing nouns

Capitalization, punctuation and spelling were not well standardized in early Modern English; for example, the 1611 King James Bible did not capitalize pronouns:

In the 17th and 18th centuries, it became common to capitalize all nouns, as is still done in some other Germanic languages, including German.

In languages that capitalize all nouns, reverential capitalization of the first two letters or the whole word can sometimes be seen. The following is an example in Danish, which capitalized nouns until 1948.

Note that some instances are in all caps ( "GOD"), and some begin with two capital letters ( "LOrd",  "JEsus"). Some words that refers to persons of the trinity begin with a single capital ( "Creator",  "Christ",  "the Father"), but so do all other nouns ( "Things"). This type of reverential capitalization varies within a single sentence and would also be dependent on the author and the publisher of a work.

The convention of capitalizing all nouns was eventually abandoned in English, and one of the people who was influential in this was Benjamin Blayney, who produced a 1769 edition of the Bible in which nouns were not capitalized—possibly simply to save space on the printed page.

Capitalisation of deities is also customarily applied in religious texts written in Tagalog and other Philippine languages. This is despite the practice being considered non-standard and inconsistent by purists, who contend it applies only to English.

Capitalizing pronouns
In the 19th century, it became common to capitalize pronouns referring to the God of the Abrahamic religions, in order to show respect:

An interesting early case is Handel's 1741 oratorio Messiah, whose printed libretto and published score both use lower case pronouns, but whose holograph conductor's score consistently capitalizes:

In the 20th century this practice became far less common:

Today there is no widely accepted rule in English on whether or not to use reverential capitalization. Different house styles have different rules given by their style manuals. The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, The Chicago Manual of Style, and the Associated Press Stylebook do not recommend it. It is prescribed, for example, by the US Government Printing Office Style Manual (2008).

It is also seen in King James 21st Century Edition and Biblehub's King James Purple Letter Edition.

title: Fortun Church

text:
Fortun Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fortun. It is the church for the Fortun parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1879 using plans drawn up by the architect Erik Pedersen Rusten. The church seats about 250 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1323, but it was not new that year. The first church was a wooden stave church that was likely built sometime between 1160 and 1180. The original building had a rectangular nave measuring  and a slightly narrower  wide choir. The original church stood about  northeast of the present location of the church. Around 1650, a new tower was built on the church. In 1666, the choir was torn down and replaced with a larger timber-framed room, the same width as the nave. In 1696–1698, the church porch was torn down and rebuilt. Over time, the church became too small for the congregation and it was decided to replace it.

A new church was built about  southwest of the old church, a little closer to the river. The new church was completed and consecrated on 6 June 1879. It was designed by Erik Pedersen Ruste. After its completion, the parish offered to sell the old church to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, but the Society could not afford it. Then, the decision was made to tear down the old church, but there was some controversy about this decision. Eventually, it was torn down, but the consul Fredrik Georg Gade bought most of the building materials and moved them to Fantoft in Bergen in 1883. There, Gade rebuilt the church and named it Fantoft Stave Church. Gade used the Borgund Stave Church as the model for his reconstructed church, so it was not a true reconstruction of the old Fortun Stave Church after it was rebuilt. It was used as a museum and cultural site for over a century. On 6 June 1992, the centuries-old church was destroyed in an arson fire. Soon after, in 1997, a replica building was completed on the same site, but virtually all of the old parts from the original stave church in Fortun had been lost.

title: Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

text:
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a 2015 American action comedy film directed by Andy Fickman and written by Kevin James and Nick Bakay. It is the sequel to 2009's Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and stars James in the title role, Raini Rodriguez, and Shirley Knight.

Filming began in April 2014 at the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. It was released the following year on April 17, 2015. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was the first film shot on the Steve Wynn property. It was also the first film to receive Nevada's film tax credit, enacted in 2013, netting the production a $4.3 million return on expenditures. The film was panned by critics and grossed $108 million worldwide at the box office.

Plot
Following the events at West Orange Pavilion Mall, Paul Blart is recovering from several misfortunes. His wife Amy divorced him six days into their marriage, and two years later, his mother was killed after being hit by a milk truck. To feel better, Paul takes pride in patrolling the mall. Four years later, as Blart says he has "officially peaked", he receives an invitation to a security officers' convention in Las Vegas and begins to believe his luck is about to change. His daughter, Maya, discovers that she was accepted into UCLA and plans to move across the country to Los Angeles, but in light of her father's invitation, she decides to withhold the information for now.

After arriving in Las Vegas, Paul and his daughter meet the general manager of Wynn Las Vegas, a pretty young woman named Divina Martinez, whom Paul is instantly attracted to. He later learns that she's dating the hotel's head of security, Eduardo Furtillo. Meanwhile, Maya falls in love with the hotel's valet, Lane. A security guard from the Mall of America attending the convention, Donna Ericone, is aware of Paul's earlier heroics in the West Orange Pavilion Mall incident and believes Paul will be the likely keynote speaker at the event. However, Paul discovers that another security guard, Nick Panero, is giving the speech.

In the midst of the convention, a criminal named Vincent Sofel and a gang of accomplices disguised as hotel employees are secretly plotting to steal priceless works of art from the hotel and replace them with replicas, then sell the real ones at auction. In the meantime, Paul has become overprotective of Maya after discovering her flirting with Lane and spies on their conversations. He is later mocked by Eduardo for his lack of professionalism in an event where hotel security was notified when Maya turns up missing. In an ensuing argument with her father, Maya becomes upset and claims she's attending UCLA despite Paul's wishes that she remain close to home at a junior college.

At the convention, Paul, Donna, and three other security guards, Saul Gundermutt, Khan Mubi, and Gino Chizetti check out the non-lethal security equipment on display. Paul finds Nick drunkenly hitting on a woman at the bar. Paul attempts to defuse the situation and Nick passes out, giving Paul a chance to be the event's speaker. Later, Paul takes a break in The Garden Of Contemplation, only to face off against a bird while a man playing piano watches. Following the speech, Paul learns about Maya and Lane's situation and rushes to help but abruptly collapses due to his hypoglycemia that has plagued him for years.

After recovering, Paul is able to take down several of Vincent's thugs and gathers intel on the group's intentions. Using non-lethal equipment from the convention, he is able to take out more of Vincent's crew. Meanwhile, Maya and Lane overhear Vincent adamantly refusing an oatmeal cookie due to a severe oatmeal allergy, leading to said cookie being thrown from a window. Working with a team – Donna, Saul, Khan, and Gino – Paul is able to clumsily dismantle Vincent's operation, with Maya severely incapacitating Vincent by rubbing oatmeal-infused concealer on his face and Paul finishing Vincent off with an extremely forceful headbutt. Afterward, Paul convinces Divina to be with Eduardo. He also accepts Maya going to UCLA, funding her tuition with the reward he obtained from Steve Wynn for stopping Vincent. After dropping off Maya at UCLA, Paul falls for a mounted police officer who reciprocates his advances, but her horse reflexively kicks him into the side of a car.

Cast

Jayma Mays was only seen in the opening because she couldn't reprise the role for the sequel.

Production

Development
In January 2009, Sony expressed an interest in making a sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was revealed on January 7, 2014,  that Andy Fickman was in talks to direct the film while Kevin James, who also co-wrote the script with Nick Bakay, would be back to star as Blart. James produced the film along with Todd Garner and Happy Madison's Adam Sandler. The cast includes David Henrie, Raini Rodriguez, Eduardo Verástegui, Nicholas Turturro, Gary Valentine, Neal McDonough, Daniella Alonso, and D. B. Woodside, starring alongside James.

On March 14, 2014, the Nevada Film Office announced that Sony Pictures had been awarded the first certificate of eligibility for a new tax credit enacted in 2013, in regard to the filming of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Nevada Film Office Director, Eric Preiss, indicated that the production would get $4.3 million in tax credits based on the proposal in their application. The film was initially greenlit with a $45–50 million production budget, but after Kevin James agreed to take a paycut the final figure came in at around $38 million. On April 2, 2014, Columbia Pictures announced that the film would be released on April 17, 2015.

Filming

In an October 2012 interview, James said that he liked the idea of filming the sequel at the Mall of America. Principal photography commenced on April 21, 2014, at Wynn Las Vegas, and ended on June 26, 2014. It is the first time that Steve Wynn has allowed a commercial film to be shot at this property. For the only scene involving the West Orange Pavilion Mall (shown at the beginning of the film), the only exterior shot of the mall is deleted stock footage of the Burlington Mall taken from the first film, while all interior shots were filmed in Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

Release
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was released by Columbia Pictures in the United States on April 17, 2015. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on July 14, 2015.

Reception

Box office
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 grossed $71 million in North America and $36.5 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $107.5 million, against a production budget of $38 million.

In its opening weekend, the film grossed $23.8 million, finishing second at the box office behind Furious 7 ($29.2 million).

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 6% based on 63 reviews and an average rating of 3.00/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Bathed in flop sweat and bereft of purpose, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 strings together fat-shaming humor and Segway sight gags with uniformly unfunny results." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 13 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B−" on an A+ to F scale.

Sara Stewart of the New York Post gave the film one out of four stars and wrote that the plot is "just an excuse for James to do his one trick over and over: Bluster, then screw up humiliatingly". Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "James tries hard, very hard, to inject the proceedings with slapstick humor, propelling his large body through endless physical contortions in a fruitless effort for laughs." Justin Chang of Variety called it a "tacky, numbingly inane sequel".

In rating the film zero stars, Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com wrote, "Truly, there is not a single redeeming moment in director Andy Fickman's film. A general flatness and lethargy permeate these reheated proceedings." Kevin P. Sullivan of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a D and called it "far from the worst movie that you'll ever see", though he wondered why people would bother watching it. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star gave the film a half a star out of four, saying: "Caddyshack 2. Exorcist 2. Speed 2. To this small sample of the ever-expanding list of wretched movie sequels, add Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, a gobsmackingly witless excuse for entertainment." Andy Webster of The New York Times described the film as inoffensive but familiar.

Legacy
In 2015, Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery (hosts of The Worst Idea of All Time) formed a podcast called 'Til Death Do Us Blart with Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Griffin McElroy (hosts of My Brother, My Brother and Me) to review Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 every Thanksgiving for the rest of their lives.

Accolades

Possible sequel
In January 2022, James expressed interest in making a third film, but stated that a script had not yet been developed. Co-star Lauren Ash has also expressed interest in doing a sequel.

text:
Wu Zhaoyi (毋昭裔) or Guan Zhaoyi (毌昭裔) was an official of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period state Later Shu, serving as a chancellor during the reign of its second emperor Meng Chang.

Background
Not much is known about Wu Zhaoyi's personal background, including when he was born, but it is known that he was from Longmen (龍門, in modern Yuncheng, Shanxi).  It was said that he was renowned in his knowledge and talent.  When the Later Tang general Meng Zhixiang was commissioned by Later Tang's first emperor Li Cunxu as the military governor (Jiedushi) of Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered in modern Chengdu, Sichuan) in late 925 in light of Later Tang's recent conquest of its southwestern neighbor Former Shu (which had ruled the territory), Meng invited Wu to serve as his secretary.  After Li Cunxu was killed in a mutiny in 926 and succeeded by his adoptive brother Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan tried to assert more control over Meng by sending the official Li Yan (李嚴) to serve as the monitor of the Xichuan army later in the year, Wu suggested Meng to deny Li Yan entry, but Meng did not agree.  He ultimately allowed Li Yan to come to Xichuan's capital Chengdu, and then found an excuse to kill Li Yan.  Despite his not having agreed with Wu, however, Meng saw Wu's point and believed him to be talented, and therefore wanted to find greater responsibilities for him.

As Later Shu official
After Meng Zhixiang declared himself the emperor of a new independent state of Later Shu in 934, he commissioned Wu Zhaoyi as the deputy chief imperial censor (御史中丞, Yushi Zhongcheng).

Meng died later in 934, and was succeeded by his son Meng Chang.  In 935, Wu was given the titles of Zhongshu Shilang (中書侍郎, deputy head of the legislative bureau of government (中書省, Zhongshu Sheng)) and Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事), making him a chancellor.  He was later made Menxia Shilang (門下侍郎, the deputy head of the examination bureau (門下省, Menxia Sheng)).  In 940, when fellow chancellor Zhao Jiliang, who had been overseeing the three financial agencies (taxation, treasury, and salt and iron monopolies), asked to have that responsibility divided between him, Wu, and fellow chancellor Zhang Ye, Meng Chang put Wu in charge of salt and iron monopolies and Zhang in charge of treasury, leaving Zhao in charge of taxation.

In 948, two generals of Later Han (which was ruling the former Later Tang territory by this point), Wang Jingchong the military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (鳳翔, headquartered in modern Baoji, Shaanxi), and Zhao Siwan, who then controlled Yongxing Circuit (永興, headquartered in modern Xi'an, Shaanxi), rebelled against Later Han and entered an alliance with another rebel general, Li Shouzhen.  However, they also sent emissaries to Later Shu, offering to submit to Meng Chang.  Meng sent An Siqian (安思謙) the military governor of Shannan West Circuit (山南西道, headquartered in modern Hanzhong, Shaanxi) to aid them.  Wu submitted a petition urging against it, pointing out the examples of Li Cunxu and Former Shu's last emperor Wang Zongyan as those who overly exerted their armies.  Meng did not listen to him.  Ultimately, the campaign was not successful, and Later Shu was unable to add those circuits to its possessions.

Several years later, Wu retired with the honorific title Taizi Taishi (太子太師).  It was said that Wu was an ardent book collector and favored the study of old Confucian classic texts.  He had the official Zhang Dezhao (張德釗) copy the classics and carve them on stone tablets to be displayed at Chengdu, in the example of the Tang dynasty's display of such classics at its capital Chang'an.  Further, it was said that the Shu region had lacked schools ever since Tang fell.  Wu expended his private wealth to build schools and dormitories, and also persuaded Meng to have the Four Books and Five Classics reprinted.  He also had his followers Gou Wenzheng (句文正) and Sun Jiangji (孫絳吉) reprint a number of poetic texts that he considered worthy of publication (including the Wen Xuan, the Chuxueji (初學記), and the Baishi Liutie (白氏六帖)).  Wu himself authored three volumes of commentaries on the sounds of the characters used in the Erya.

It is not known when Wu died, although presumably it was before the fall of Later Shu in 965.  After Later Shu's fall, Wu's son Wu Shousu (毋守素) became an official of the Song dynasty (which had conquered Later Shu), and the books that Wu had published were spread throughout the land by Wu Shousu's efforts.

title: Littlewood's Tauberian theorem

text:
In mathematics, Littlewood's Tauberian theorem is a strengthening of Tauber's theorem introduced by .

Statement

Littlewood showed the following: If an = O(1/n ), and as x ↑ 1 we have

then

Hardy and Littlewood later showed that the hypothesis on an could be weakened to the "one-sided" condition an ≥ –C/n for some constant C. However in some sense the condition is optimal: Littlewood showed that if cn is any unbounded sequence then there is a series with |an| ≤ |cn|/n which is divergent but Abel summable.

History

 described his discovery of the proof of his Tauberian theorem. Alfred Tauber's original theorem was similar to Littlewood's, but with the stronger hypothesis that an=o(1/n).  Hardy had proved a similar theorem for Cesàro summation with the weaker hypothesis an=O(1/n), and suggested to Littlewood that the same weaker hypothesis might also be enough for Tauber's theorem. In spite of the fact that the hypothesis in Littlewood's theorem seems only slightly weaker than the hypothesis in Tauber's theorem, Littlewood's proof was far harder than Tauber's, though Jovan Karamata later found an easier proof.

Littlewood's theorem follows from the later Hardy–Littlewood Tauberian theorem, which is in turn a special case of Wiener's Tauberian theorem, which itself is a special case of various abstract Tauberian theorems about Banach algebras.

title: Joranger Church

text:
Joranger Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Joranger. It is one of the churches for the Fet og Joranger parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The building was probably constructed around the 1630s, but 1660 has historically been considered to be the construction date. The church seats about 85 people.

History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but the church was not built that year. The first church was a wooden stave church that was located on the same site as the present church. During the 1600s, the old church was torn down and a new church was built to replace it on the same site. A sign on the church says 1620, the year 1643 is painted on one beam in the choir, and other records refer to 1660 as the year of construction. Research dates the decorations in the choir and altarpiece to 1643 and some of the decorations in the nave to 1652, so it is likely that the church was built during the 1630s or 1640s. The new church was built using some of the materials from the old stave church and it is possible that it was built in stages over a period of years. The nave measures  and the square choir measures  on each side. The church has a unique, large, octagonal-shaped steeple that is not in proportion with the rest of the small building. In the 1960s, a new foundation wall was laid under the church to prevent the problems caused by significant rotting of some of the wood.

title: Nes Church (Vestland)

text:
Nes Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nes, on the western shore of the Lustrafjorden. It is the church for the Nes parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1836 using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Ditlev Franciscus Linstow. The church seats about 110 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but that was not the year of construction. The first church on this site was a wooden stave church, likely built in the early 1300s. In 1686, the building was described as having a  nave. In 1722, the 400-year-old building was described as having a pointed tower in the center of the roof and the interior was well-maintained in every way. In 1835, the ancient church was torn down. The following year, a new church was completed just south of the site of the old church building. Some of the materials from the old stave church were reused in the new church. The new building was consecrated in 1836 by the local Dean Wilhelm Christian Magelsen. The new church was described as being rather plain, similar to a square box with unpainted plank walls inside (others thought it was quite ugly). In 1909, the church was extensively rebuilt according to drawings by Schak Bull. This included a new church porch and sacristy were added improve the look of the church on the outside, plus there were several minor changes and paint on the inside to make the church more attractive. In the 1950s, the church received electric lighting and heating.

title: The Spirit of Romance

text:
The Spirit of Romance is a 1910 book of literary criticism by the poet Ezra Pound. It is based on lectures he delivered at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London between 1908 and 1909 and deals with a variety of European literatures.  As with Pound's later, unfinished poem The Cantos, the book follows "a pattern, at once historical and atemporal, of cultural beginnings and rebeginnings".

Written as a contradiction to the nationalistic and normative literary studies of the time, in The Spirit of Romance Pound advocates a synchronous scholarship of literature in which one can weigh "Theocritus and Yeats with one balance". In his discussion, Pound provides partial translations of works from a variety of European authors, including Guido Cavalcanti and François Villon, many of whom had been forced outside the canon by earlier critics.

The Spirit of Romance was published by London-based J. M. Dent and Sons, upon recommendation from Pound's friend Ernest Rhys. A 1932 printing saw the addition of an eleventh chapter, and a "completely revised edition" followed in 1952. Though reviews were sparse when the book was first published, The Spirit of Romance has since become an important addition to literary scholarship.

Background
The Spirit of Romance was written by Ezra Pound (1885–1972), his first major work of literary criticism. Interested in poetry at an early age, Pound obtained a B.Phil. from Hamilton College in 1905. He continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his MA in 1906. Pound was awarded a Harrison fellowship soon after graduation to continue his studies and complete a doctoral degree. Intending to write about jesters in the works of Lope de Vega, the outspoken Pound – who often challenged his professors' assertions, insisting that George Bernard Shaw was a better writer than Shakespeare – was eventually told that he was wasting his own time and that of the institution and left the university, his doctorate incomplete. In 1908 he left on a self-imposed exile to Europe, passing through Gibraltar and Venice before settling in London. There, whilst working on his poetry, he gave a series of lectures at the Regent Street Polytechnic; these lectures eventually became the basis of The Spirit of Romance.

Philological studies at the University of Pennsylvania were focused mainly on 19th-century theories and methods, through which Pound "floundered somewhat ineffectually" as a graduate student. This trend, against which Pound eventually rebelled, focused on the study of works from a single background to construct national identities and literary canons, "cultural legacies". These legacies excluded those who had lost the political battles which shaped the nation, removing them and their beliefs from the constructed identity. Carlos Riobó of Bard College characterizes this philology as a pseudo-science which ultimately worked to neatly demarcate "the precariously unified, modern culture from the old fractious one by adducing textual proof of cultural and linguistic origins".

Nonetheless, Pound continued to Romance philology at the university and would later state that The Spirit of Romance derived much of its material from notes he took in the classes of his thesis advisor, Professor Rennert.

Contents
The first edition consists of ten chapters and a preface; María Rosa Menocal describes these chapters as "strung-together essays". Beginning with the 1932 edition it contained 11 chapters; one, "Psychology and Troubadors", was added after having been first published in the London-based review The Quest. This addition, according to Richard Sieburth, means that the work reaches further back, to the "Eleusinian sexual rites of Ancient Greece". The division of chapters is as follows:

Analysis
In the preface, Pound disavows "the slough of philology". The essays provide an outline of what philology should be, a form of comparative literature which Anne Birien defines as "the studies of forces traceable across texts", works without which are but artifacts. Pound emphasizes the intrinsic value and qualities of the works as well as literary interpretation and evaluation. Such research would be capable of weighing "Theocritus and Yeats with one balance", and judge "dull men as inexorably as dull writers of today", signifying a push for works to be considered as synchronous, with historical works an essential component of present ones.

Menocal writes that, through The Spirit of Romance, Pound attempted to continue the work of Dante Alighieri in De vulgari eloquentia, "saving" poets from the exile of normative literary canon. Riobó expands on this, writing that Pound was able to enfranchise poets and works who had hitherto been written out of the national canons by earlier critics, providing new translations of their work to "lend them a voice" to reach modern audiences. One of the poets Pound "saved", Guido Cavalcanti, would later become a common persona for Pound to adopt in his poetry.

The book includes numerous partial translations of Romance poems, described as "merely exegetic". Pound was critical of contemporary translators, whom he viewed as "obfuscating" the poets by treating works as artifacts. He instead attempted to convey "certain forces, elements or qualities, which were potent in medieval literature in Romance and are still potent in English", avoiding literal translations in favor of "words and metaphors intended to evoke in the reader the same feelings evoked in the work's original reader". Riobó writes that this was problematic, as ultimately the works had to be filtered through Pound's sensibilities before reaching the readers, and thus "preventing the reader from fully assessing it for himself or herself".

In his foreword to the 2005 edition of The Spirit of Romance, Sieburth writes that the book can be read as "a preparation of the palette" for Pound's later (unfinished) epic poem, The Cantos. Both deal with a similar theme, that of "a pattern, at once historical and atemporal, of cultural beginnings and rebeginnings". Both The Spirit of Romance and The Cantos depend heavily on quotation and references to other works, a technique Pound later named excernment.

Publishing history

The Spirit of Romance was published in 1910 by the London-based J. M. Dent and Sons. Though Pound was unknown to Dent, mutual friend Ernest Rhys convinced the publisher to issue the book. The full title was The Spirit of Romance: An Attempt to Define Somewhat the Charm of the Pre-Renaissance Literature of Latin Europe, credited to Ezra Pound, M.A.; Riobó writes that this emphasis on Pound's academic credentials are illustrative of Pound's defiance of the doctoral committee at the University of Pennsylvania.

A 1929 reprint of The Spirit of Romance was edited heavily by Pound. The first portion of the book was issued as part of the first volume of Prolegomena by "To" in Le Beausset, France, in 1932. Spearheaded by George Oppen, this edition added a new chapter and also included Pound's How to Read. However, the second volume (and second portion) was never released. A "completely revised edition" was published in 1952, by New Directions in the United States and Peter Owen in the United Kingdom. The translations in this edition were heavily reworked, with words such as hath and doth removed entirely. The prose, however, remained similar to the original edition, which Hugh Kenner in Poetry attributes to Pound understanding that significant changes to the content "would require a wholly new book".

Reception and legacy
Pound regarded the work as originally published as having issues. In a 1911 letter to Yone Noguchi, Pound wrote that he was considering sending the Japanese poet a copy of his book, but "it has many flaws of workmanship". In 1920, Pound's father, Homer, perhaps at his son's request, submitted The Spirit of Romance to the University of Pennsylvania as Pound's dissertation, asking whether the work could be regarded as sufficient for his son to receive his doctorate. The chair of the English department, Felix Schelling, replied that Pound had done "none of the work demanded" for a PhD. In the foreword to the 1929 republishing of The Spirit of Romance, Pound wrote that the work could "be greatly improved", though "the mode or statement ... will have to stand as a partial confession of where I was in the year 1910".

According to Pound, The Spirit of Romance received little attention when first published, as sending such works to literary critics was then uncommon, and that he "could not conveniently have afforded the stamps". At least one scholarly review was written, by W. P. Ker for The Modern Language Review. Ker wrote that, though the "book ought to be an encouragement to many young people to undertake some explorations, and make discoveries for themselves", it was extremely difficult for readers without the necessary background knowledge to understand, even if they wanted to learn of the poetry. He also found that Pound erred in abandoning philology, for "the study of poetry, if it is to be anything but monotonous praise, is bound to be technical and analytic".

Stanley K. Coffman, reviewing the revised edition for Books Abroad in 1953, found that it had a "curious air of calm but affectionate appraisal of its materials", which, although more casual than the average academic work, nonetheless "probably accomplishes a good deal more than the strictly and dryly scholarly" works. He described the book as interesting both as a revelation of Pound's early theories, as well as "a presentation of poetry that is worth our attention". Kenner, also reviewing the revised edition, found that it was "still readable after forty-three years, because of the energy with which it recognizes the existence and relevance of a number of facts", drawing the reader's attention to facts without presenting too much in-depth detail.

K.K. Ruthven characterizes the work as a "history of the search for standards of excellence in literature", using Romance literature. T.S. Eliot describes it as "early but important", and in his preface to a collection of Pound's essays on literature writes that it should be read in full; Eliot notes in particular the book's emphasis on the works of François Villon, then little known in the English-speaking world.

Riobó describes The Spirit of Romance as redefining Romance philology through "a new, necessarily contingent voice, which invited, in fact was predicated on, cyclical reinterpretation".

title: Veitastrond Chapel

text:
Veitastrond Chapel () is a chapel in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Veitastrond. It is an annex chapel in the Hafslo parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden chapel was built as a bedehus in 1928. The chapel seats about 120 people.

History
In 1891, the village of Veidastrond received permission to build a cemetery. The people still continued to ask for their own chapel. In 1928, a small  (prayer house) was built in the village. On 14 July 1935, it was consecrate to be used for church functions and received the designation of chapel. Before that time, the villagers had to make the  long trek from their isolated village to Hafslo Church, which was a long and sometimes dangerous journey. In 1960, a new entrance was built for the chapel.  In the early 1970s, the building was expanded by adding a bathroom.

, also known as No. 19 (Netherlands East Indies) Squadron RAAF, was a transport and communications unit of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force (MK-KNIL), formed in Australia during the final stages of World War II. The squadron was formed as a Dutch unit in late 1944 from two transport flights that had previously been based in Brisbane and Melbourne, and which had run supplies to joint Australian-NEI combat squadrons in the Northern Territory and in West Papua. Upon formation the squadron was based at Archerfield, near Brisbane. In 1945, it was transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), but returned to Dutch control in 1947 and subsequently took part in operations during the Indonesian National Revolution.

History
The squadron was one of four joint Australian-NEI squadrons formed during the war, and emerged from two separate transport flights formed in September 1944 by the ML-KNIL in Australia. These flights were NEI Transport Section, Brisbane (NEI-TSB), which was based at RAAF Archerfield, near Brisbane and equipped with three Lockheed Lodestars and five North American B-25 Mitchells, and NEI Transport Section, Melbourne (NEI-TSM), which operated nine Lodestars and several Mitchells, and was based at Melbourne. These units transported personnel and material to No. 18 (NEI) Squadron, a joint Australian-NEI bomber squadron based at RAAF Batchelor, Northern Territory, and No. 120 (NEI) Squadron, a fighter unit in Merauke (later in Biak), West Papua.

In September 1944, these two flights were expanded to squadron status and designated Nos. 1 and 2 NEI Transport Squadrons. No. 1 subsequently moved to Brisbane from Melbourne and in November the two were merged at Archerfield, forming No. 1 Netherlands East Indies (NEI) Transport Squadron, operating four Douglas Dakotas, six Lodestars, five Mitchells and five Lockheed Model 12a light transport aircraft. Although the squadron was not officially part of the RAAF at that time, a detachment of 50 RAAF personnel was assigned to it to help make up for personnel shortages, mainly in ground crew. In early 1945, the squadron's area of operations began expanding beyond Australia and Merauke and, as the end of the war became imminent, the Dutch authorities began considering future operations in the East Indies. On 15 August 1945, following a request from Dutch officials, the squadron was officially absorbed by the RAAF and renamed No. 19 (Netherlands East Indies) Squadron. It took control of 13 Dakotas that had previously been operated by the Dutch East Indies airline KNILM, while a further 17 were obtained from the US; of these, 10 were used for flying and the remainder to provide spare parts. There were also four Mitchells, and several Lockheed 12s and Lodestars. Some of the squadron's Dutch crews were transferred from the USAAF 374th Troop Carrier Group, having received training in the US following their escape from the NEI.

Following the end of World War II, the Dutch government requested that the NEI squadrons operating as part of the RAAF participate in the re-occupation of the NEI. In early September 1945, despite South East Asia Command placing restrictions on Dutch aircraft landing in Java due to concerns about escalating tensions with Indonesian nationalists during the withdrawal of Japanese troops, the squadron began flying humanitarian assistance missions, landing at Kemajoran. RAAF staff, the majority of whom were maintenance personnel, were withdrawn from the Dutch squadrons in November 1945. Maintenance was subsequently conducted in Bundaberg, Queensland by Australian civilian companies until May 1946. In 1946, the squadron received several Douglas C-54 Skymasters from the United States. Regular courier flights were later established by the squadron between Brisbane, Darwin and Batavia, and these were also available to civilian passengers. Meanwhile, maintenance was increasingly completed in Batavia using contracted Australian civilian personnel.

19 Squadron remained at Archerfield and continued using Australian callsigns as it undertook operations against Indonesian nationalists during the early stages of the Indonesian National Revolution; in August 1946, it began transferring to Cililitan airfield, near Jakarta, although it continued to maintain its headquarters at Archerfield. The  issue of the involvement of RAAF personnel in Dutch operations to reoccupy the NEI was politically sensitive as there was growing anti-colonial sentiment both in Australia and also in Britain and the United States. Nevertheless, the squadron operated as part of the RAAF for over a year, even when there was growing resistance in Australian society, particularly within the labour movement, to assisting the Dutch. It officially ceased to be part of the RAAF on 1 January 1947, and was transferred back to Dutch control for further service in the campaign against the nationalists. On 26 February 1947, a Dakota operated by the squadron crashed into the sea off Point Lookout, near Stradbroke Island in Queensland, killing all six people on board.

The squadron was officially dissolved on 1 April 1948, when its aircraft were transferred to 20 Squadron ML-KNIL, a sister transport unit formed in 1946. (While some sources have described this as a "renaming" of 19 Squadron, the prior and separate existence of 20 Squadron would indicate otherwise.)

title: Hafslo Church

text:
Hafslo Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hafslo. It is the church for the Hafslo parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1878 using plans drawn up by the architect Johan D. Faye. The church seats about 300 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1271, but the church was not built that year. The first church in Hafslo was a wooden stave church that was likely built around the year 1200. Over the centuries, the church had several renovations and expansions. In 1700, the choir of the church was torn down and a new, larger timber-framed choir was built in its place. In an inspection in 1722, the old church was measured. The nave measured about  and the choir measured about .

In 1814, this church served as an election church (). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.

The new church law in 1851 required churches to be large enough to seat a certain portion of the members in the parish. This church was too small according to that law. Plans were made to enlarge the church, an architect was hired, and contracts were signed. In January 1877, a week after the contracts were signed, the parish building committee changed its mind and it was decided to tear down the old church and build a new one. From 14 to 21 May 1878, the old church was torn down and construction was begun on a new Hafslo Church on the same site. The new church was built slightly to the side of where the previous church had stood. The new building was consecrated on 4 December 1878.

title: Solvorn Church

text:
Solvorn Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Solvorn. It is the church for the Solvorn parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1883 using plans drawn up by the architect Waldemar Hansteen. The church seats about 300 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but the church was not new at that time.  The first church was likely a wooden stave church built in the early 1300s (or earlier). Not much is known about the old church. The old church was torn down around the year 1600 and it was replaced by a new timber-framed long church on the same site. This new church had a nave measuring  with a  choir on one end.

By the late-1870s, the church was too small for the parish and the nearby Urnes Stave Church parish was scheduled to be closed in 1882 and merged with Solvorn Church. So it was decided to tear down the old Solvorn Church and to build a new, larger one to accommodate the newly enlarged parish. The new church was located on the other side of the church graveyard from where the older churches were located. The new building was designed by Waldemar Hansteen and the lead builder was Dr. Wulfsberg, the uncle of Waldemar Hansteen. The new church has a notable tower with sloping sides. The new church was completed and consecrated in 1883. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down and its materials were sold at auction.

title: Jostedal Church

text:
Jostedal Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Jostedal. It is the church for the Jostedal parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design around 1660 by builder Hans Ottesen Ravn using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 120 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new that year. The first church was a wooden stave church that was likely built in the 13th century. The whole Jostedalen area became virtually uninhabited after the Black Death in Norway, so the wooden church must have sat vacant for some time. Tradition states that the church was unused from the mid-1300s until the mid-1500s and throughout that time it was not maintained. Eventually more people moved back to the valley and in 1533, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new stave church. That stave church fell into disrepair rather quickly and it was torn down in 1660.

After the old church was demolished, a small, timber-framed long church was built on the same site. Some of the materials from the previous building were reused in the new building. The new building was  long and  tall and it was built by Hans Ottesen Ravn who was the son of the priest. In 1680, there was a snow avalanche that hit the building and the tower was damaged. During the 1700s, the church was successively expanded and rebuilt. The area that once was the choir was incorporated into the nave and a new choir was added to the east of the existing building. On the west end of the church, a new church porch was built at that time as well.

In 1814, this church served as an election church (). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.

In 1907–1910, the church was extensively renovated by architect Johannes Kløften. During this renovation, the church porch was rebuilt and the choir was enlarged. In 1960, the old floor was removed and a new floor was laid. In the 1990s, the ceiling of the nave was opened up and insulation was added.

title: Gaupne Church

text:
Gaupne Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Gaupne. It is the church for the Gaupne parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The yellow, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1907 using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Jacob Sparre. The church seats about 230 people.

History
In the 1890s, the Old Gaupne Church reached the point where it was no longer usable as the main church for the parish. A discussion was held on whether to replace the church or expand and renovate it. It was eventually decided to build a new wooden long church about  to the northwest of the old church. The parish hired Hans Jacob Sparre to design the new church and Anders Korsvold was hired as the lead builder. Construction began late in 1905 and the new building was consecrated on 29 August 1907. The old church was turned into a museum and it was taken over by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments in 1909.

title: Old Gaupne Church

text:
Old Gaupne Church () is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Gaupne. It was the main church for the Luster parish (which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin) until it was replaced in 1907. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design about 1650 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 130 people.

History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1306, but the church was not new at that time. The first church on this site was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the second half of the 12th century. Around the year 1647, the old church was torn down and replaced with a timber-framed long church. The new building (now known as the "Old Gaupne Church") was built using several of the parts from the old stave church, including the side planks of the western portals. These planks, dating back to the second half of the 12th century, are now one of the standout features of the church, infused with detailed carvings of snakes and dragons. The church construction began in 1647, but it likely wasn't completely finished until 1652. The new building had a nave that measured about  and a square choir that measured about .

This "old" church was used from 1647 until 1907 when the new Gaupne Church was completed, about  to the northeast of the site of the old church. After the "new" church was in use, the "old" church was given for free to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments in 1909. After this, the church underwent some significant restorations, particularly with the foundation and exterior siding. The society cares for the site and the parish uses the church for special occasions. The Old Gaupne Church is now well known for the annual St. Olaf's Day service that is held there. The church interior now largely resembles its historic 17th-century appearance. The walls are richly decorated with drawings and Bible verses.

title: Lena broom

text:
Cytisus 'Lena' (or Broom 'Lena') is a hybrid broom of two species of Cytisus, Cytisus scoparius × Cytisus dallimorei, and is known as 'Lena' after the German hybridizer, Herr Lena. He is credited with a handful of other classic broom cultivars. It is a small deciduous shrub with slender green shoots and small trifoliate leaves. It has fragrant flowers of brown-red edged with gold, or deep crimson with a light yellow keel.

In 1993, Cytisus 'Lena' was a recipient of the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. It can fairly easily be mistaken for its wild parent Cytisus scoparius which is an invasive pest in many parts of the West Coast of the United States and Canada. 'Lena' is a well-behaved (meaning compact,) desirable shrub. It flowers between Spring and early Summer, likes full sun and is very hardy. It just needs pruning occasionally to keep in shape. As a legume, this shrub can fix nitrogen in the soil through a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria. It is hardy to USDA zones 5-8.

Known as 'Lena Broom', Lena's broom, Cytisus 'lena', Cytisus ×lena, & Lena Cytisus.

title: Jesse Edward Grinstead

text:
Jesse Edward Grinstead (October 16, 1866 – March 8, 1948) was an American publisher, editor, poet and politician who in later life became a popular writer of Western fiction. Over his writing career Grinstead penned some 30 novels along with scores of short stories and articles that appeared in magazines and newspapers. At least two of his stories, The Scourge of the Little C (as Tumbling River) and Sunset of Power, became Hollywood films. Volumes of Grinstead's works were also published in Britain, Sweden and Spain.

Kentucky, Missouri and Indian territory
J. E. Grinstead was born at Owensboro, Kentucky, the son of William Travis Grinstead (1825–1900) and Elizabeth Miranda Priest (1833–1940). According to his brother, author Hugh Fox Grinstead  (1870–1950), as a young man their father had served as a guard under Lt. John James Abert during a U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers survey of the American Southwest, had made nine crossings of the Great Plains as a wagon-master on trips to New Mexico and California, prospected for gold in the Sacramento Valley, trekked on foot from San Juan del Sur to Lake Nicaragua, transported supplies during the Utah War to General Albert S. Johnston's headquarters at Salt Lake City and conveyed the first threshing machine to Fort Bridger, Wyoming Territory. By 1860 Grinstead's parents were married and living on a farm in or near Long Prairie in Mississippi County, Missouri. After the outbreak of the American Civil War Grinstead's family returned to Owensboro for the duration of the war.

By 1868 Grinstead's family had return to Missouri to a farm in Pettis County, not far from where his grandfather, Jesse Grinstead, had farmed since before the 1840s. In 1884 the family left Missouri to settle in Indian Territory near the town of Oakland where William Grinstead would serve as their first postmaster. A few years later, when Grinstead's family relocated to Whitesboro, Texas, he chose to remain behind. He supported himself by working a variety of odd jobs before finding full-time employment as a printer with The Ardmore Weekly Courier. In 1893 Grinstead founded The Oakland ‘Indian Territory’ News, the town's first paper. Six years later he moved to Kerrville, Texas in the vain hope that the climate there would help alleviate his wife's lung ailment.

Texas
Within a year or so he purchased The Kerrville News and, inspired by the area's surrounding beauty, renamed it The Kerrville Mountain Sun. In 1903 he was elected mayor of Kerrville and in 1906 their representative (House District 99) in the 30th state legislature. While serving in the Texas House of Representatives he was instrumental in pushing through legislation that led to the creation of the State Tubercular Sanatorium in Carlsbad. In July 1908 Grinstead failed to win Democratic support for a second term and was replaced by Sam O’Bryant who prevailed against his Republican opponent that November. Grinstead also served on the Kerrville school board for many years.

Later years
Grinstead sold his interest in the Mountain Sun in 1917 to Terrell Publishing to devote his time to writing and other interests. He became a frequent contributor of Western fiction, sometimes under the pseudonyms, Tex Janis, William Crump Rush or George Bowles, to such pulp publications as Big-Book Western Magazine, Thrilling Ranch Stories, Western Romances, Argosy Magazine and Frontier Magazine. Grinstead published some 30 novels over his career along with numerous short stories and articles. Beginning in January 1921 through December 1925 Grinstead wrote and published Grinstead's Graphic, a monthly magazine of poetry and local interest stories tasked with promoting the Hill Country during a period of hard times.

The 1927 silent film Tumbling River starring Tom Mix was based on his novel, The Scourge of the Little C, and his story, Sunset of Power, was adapted for film in 1936 with Buck Jones in the lead role.

In December 1899 Grinstead's first wife, Sarah Frances, died at the age of 27 at Kerrville. The couple had three boys, Edward Everett (1892–1893), Grady Hugh (1894–1974) and Eugene Doyle (1897–1951). In 1900 he married Gertrude Wright (1868–1946), a widow who operated a boarding house in Kerrville. Three children, Jesse H. (1901–1942), Bessie G. (1903–1958), and Pam (1905–1974), soon followed. By the time of her death in 1940, Grinstead's mother had been considered, at 107, the oldest living person in Missouri.

Jesse Grinstead died at the age of 81 on March 8, 1948, at Kerrville and was interred at Oakwood Cemetery, Whitesboro. At the time Grinstead had reportedly left behind some 100 unpublished works, three of which he had recently submitted for publication.

title: Lennox Lewis vs. Lionel Butler

text:
Lennox Lewis vs. Lionel Butler was a professional boxing match contested on May 13, 1995.  The fight was a WBC "eliminator" bout with the winner scheduled to become the number one contender for the WBC heavyweight title.

Background
Lennox Lewis' previous fight had been a WBC heavyweight title defense against Oliver McCall. The then-undefeated Lewis entered the fight as an overwhelming favorite over the little-known McCall, however, McCall would stun the champion and the boxing world after landing a quick right hand that dropped Lewis. Lewis was able to get back up, but was wobbly and the referee called off the bout 31 seconds into the second round, giving McCall the upset victory and the WBC heavyweight title. Lewis attempted to quickly get a rematch and offered McCall $10 million to accept, but McCall refused and instead moved on to make the first defense against the aging Larry Holmes. Forced to go down the comeback trail, Lewis was matched up with the WBC's number two heavyweight Lionel Butler to determine who would be next in line for a title shot. Butler had turned around his career, going from a journeyman loser with a record of 6–10–1 in his first 17, to a bona fide heavyweight contender after stringing together 16 consecutive knockout victories (though one was rescinded after Butler failed a post-fight drug test) to bring his record up to 22–10–1. This was also Lewis' first fight with legendary trainer Emanuel Steward in his corner. Steward had previously been the head trainer of Don King-promoted fighters Oliver McCall (then the WBC heavyweight champion) and Julio César Chávez (then the WBC light welterweight champion), but Steward opted to leave both fighters, as well as the chance to train boxing's  most popular fighter, Mike Tyson, in order to train Lewis.

The Lewis–Butler bout was part of a doubleheader boxing event that also included Michael Moorer, who like Lewis, had lost a heavyweight title in his previous match, dropping the WBA and IBF versions of the title to George Foreman the previous year. Initially, Moorer was set to face Tim Puller, but a broken hand forced Puller to pull out of the fight. Instead Moorer faced the then-up-and-coming prospect Melvin Foster. Moorer would defeat Foster by a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision with three scores of 99–91 (nine rounds to one).

The fight
Butler came into the fight well out-of-shape at 261 pounds, 30 pounds heavier than when he had started his 16-fight knockout streak in 1991, and was dominated by Lewis for the duration of the fight. Butler started the fight aggressively, hoping to catch the much taller Lewis with his powerful right hook and score an early knockout victory, even scoring with a hard right hand in the fight's first minute. Lewis, however, would use his distinct height advantage and vastly outboxed his much shorter opponent, winning all of the first four rounds on the judge's scorecards. In the fifth round, Lewis would finally end the fight. Almost immediately after the bell rang to signify the start of the round, Lewis would send Butler to the canvas after landing a right–left combination. Butler would get up, and following a clinch break by the referee just before the first minute expired, unloaded a huge right hand that Lewis ducked. Lewis then shoved Butler down to the canvas, though it did not count as a knockdown and Lewis was warned by the referee. Lewis would spend the rest of the round picking apart the clearly exhausted Butler before sending Butler down again with a right hand just before the end of the round. After the knockdown, the referee ended the fight and Lewis was named the winner by technical knockout at 2:55 of the fifth round.

Aftermath
Lewis' victory was originally supposed to make him the mandatory challenger for the WBC heavyweight title, which McCall was to defend against Frank Bruno later in the year on September 2. Bruno would win the title after defeating McCall by unanimous decision, however, the WBC bumped Lewis aside and instead made the returning Mike Tyson their number one contender, giving him the first shot at Bruno. Lewis would threaten the WBC with legal action in attempt to gain the title match with Bruno, but the WBC would ultimately rule in favor of Tyson.
