title: Walter F. Haas

text:
Walter F. Haas (November 12, 1869–February 17, 1936) was the city attorney of Los Angeles, California. He was an authority on water and riparian water rights.

Personal
Haas, the eldest in a family of eight children, was born November 12, 1869, in California, Missouri, the son of John B. Haas and Lina W. Bruere. He was brought to Los Angeles at the age of 15 in 1884 or 1885 and graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1889, after which he read law in the office of Houghton, Silent & Campbell.

He was a member of the Union League Club, Palestine Lodge 351 of the F.&A.M. and the Scottish Rite Masons.

Haas died of a heart attack at age 66 in his Alhambra, California, home on February 17, 1936. A funeral service was held in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 929 South Hope Street, Los Angeles,  followed by cremation. Survivors were three brothers—John B. Haas, Gustave Haas and Charles E. Haas—and two sisters.

Vocation

City attorney

Haas was elected Los Angeles city attorney on the Republican ticket for a two-year term in December 1898. As city attorney he gave his opinion on these consequential items of his time:

 In 1899 he forced a delay to the start of work on the Broadway Tunnel on the theory that the contractors should have been required to abide by terms of an eight-hour day that had just been ordered in new state legislation.  He was, however, directed by a court to proceed with a contract without the provision being inserted into it.
 The same year, citing precedent back to an English decision in 1431, he held that Police Chief John M. Glass and his officers should obey the instructions of a sitting Police Commission, composed of Thomas Pascoe, Thomas Goss and Mayor Fred Eaton, whose members were "clothed with all the indicia and insignia of office" and never relinquished them rather than those of a rival commission, composed of L.G. Parker, W.B. Scarborough, R.A. Ling and A.C. Day, who were attempting to oust the old group. "This board has and retains the records pertaining to same, the Mayor continues to act as its chairman and his clerk as its secretary," he noted in a written opinion, and should be recognized until a decision as to its legitimacy, or lack thereof, was made by a proper court. The contretemps was eventually settled when members of the old board resigned.
 He held that the municipality had no authority to levy a tax against "wagons, buggies, bicycles and wheeled conveyances" in order to raise revenue for the purpose of hand-sweeping the downtown streets. He wrote: "There being neither a general statute nor charter provision conferring this power upon the Council of the city of Los Angeles, it can adopt no ordinance imposing a license tax upon property or upon individual acts, but only upon the conduct of a business."

In December–January 1899 – 1900 he made a trip to New York City to consult with John Forrest Dillon, "regarded as the highest authority on bonds in the United States," concerning recently passed Los Angeles bond issues that were to provide funds for schools and for improvement of the city water system. He returned with assurance that the two issues were legal and would pass scrutiny by the California Supreme Court.

Haas was later city attorney in Alhambra, California, and in Sierra Madre, California.

Private practice
After his term as Los Angeles city attorney, Haas went into partnership with Frank Garrett and then Harry L. Dunnigan. He was a recognized authority on water and riparian rights. The Los Angeles Times reported that Haas had "gained his State-wide reputation as a riparian and water rights lawyer at the turn of the century when he defended a case involving San Diego's water supply. The trial lasted 444 days—establishing a record for a case of this sort."

Haas was a member of a commission that proposed the idea of consolidating city and county governments into one jurisdiction. He and S.A. Butler presented the proposal directly to legislators in Sacramento in January 1907. In the same year he spoke against a separate idea that had been proposed in the Pomona, California, area – the division of Los Angeles County into two parts, with Pomona as the center of one of them.

He represented Forest Lawn during a proposal by residents south of Glendale, California,  to incorporate as a city named Tropico.

Business
In business, he was president of the Fidelia Investment Company, vice-president of the C. J. Kubach Company, director of the German-American Bank and director of K&K Brick Company.

In 1908 Haas was a principal investor in a proposed Los Angeles and San Francisco Short Line Railroad Company, which aimed to build a rail line "eighty miles shorter than that now followed by the Southern Pacific" between the two cities.

title: John C. Burroughs

text:
John Charles Burroughs (December 7, 1818 – April 21, 1892) was an American educator from New York. A graduate of Yale University, Burroughs was the first President of the Old University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, serving from 1859 to 1873. He then served as the school's chancellor until 1877. He was later Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Chicago.

Biography
John C. Burroughs was born in Stamford, New York on December 7, 1818. He descended from Puritan preacher Jeremiah Burroughs. He moved with his family to Western New York in 1821. Burroughs was raised there on the family farm, attending public schooling. When he was sixteen, the Inspector of Public School commissioned Burroughs as a teacher. He taught for four seasons, working the family farm during summers. In 1838, he moved to Medina, New York to study law. When Burroughs realized he did not have the proper background for the field, he instead pursued a classical education, studying at the Brockport Collegiate Institute and Middlebury Academy. He was admitted to Yale University as a sophomore in 1839 and graduated three years later.

Burroughs took a position as Principal of the Hamilton Academy, managing the school for the next year and a half. He then entered the Madison Theological Seminary, graduating in 1846. He preached in Waterford, New York for a year and then was the pastor of the Baptist Church in West Troy for five years. In 1852, he was named pastor of the First Baptist Church of Chicago, Illinois. He started publishing the Christian Times in 1854 as a Baptist newspaper for the Northwest. Shurtleff College in Alton, Illinois offered Burroughs the college presidency, but Burroughs declined.

Later in 1854, Burroughs worked with United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas to establish the original University of Chicago. When the school was completed in 1856, Burroughs was elected its first President, though he declined to serve. The same year, the University of Rochester awarded Burroughs an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. However, when Francis Wayland, a former President of Brown University that was Burroughs' choice for president, declined the offer in 1859, Burroughs accepted the presidency. Burroughs was one of three professors when the university opened to students.

Burroughs resigned on December 30, 1873 and was succeeded by James Rood Doolittle. Burroughs was named chancellor of the institution and served this role until 1877. In 1881, Burroughs was named to the Chicago Board of Education, serving as Assistant Superintendent of Schools from 1884 until his death. Burroughs supported fundraising efforts for the erection of the current University of Chicago in 1889.

Burroughs married Elvira S. Fields, Principal of the Ladies' Seminary at Hamilton Academy, in 1843. He died on April 21, 1892. John C. Burroughs Elementary School in Brighton Park, Chicago was named in his honor.

title: Gabbs Formation

text:
The Gabbs Formation is a geologic formation in Nevada. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic periods, and is one of the few formations in the United States known to include the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. In 2007, an exposure of the Gabbs Formation at New York Canyon was proposed a candidate GSSP for the Hettangian stage, the first stage of the Jurassic. However, the New York Canyon section was ultimately not selected as Hettangian GSSP, which instead went to the Kuhjoch section (Kendlbach Formation) of Austria in 2010.

Fossil content
The Gabbs Formation hosts several diverse assemblages of ammonites, bivalves, and other invertebrates. In 2021, several ammonites were newly described from the formation:
 Arcestes lawsi
 Paracochloceras nunminensis
 Peripleurites gabbensis
 Placites heggi
 Rhacophyllites mulleri
 R. volcanoensis

title: Vinini Formation

text:
The Vinini Formation is a marine, deep-water, sedimentary deposit of Ordovician to Early Silurian age in Nevada, U.S.A. It is notable for its highly varied, mainly siliceous composition, its mineral deposits, and controversies surrounding both its depositional environment and structural history. The formation was named by Merriam and Anderson for an occurrence along Vinini Creek in the Roberts Mountains of central Nevada and that name is now used extensively in the State.

Stratigraphic relations

Although the name Vinini is used extensively, the Palmetto Formation in southern Nevada is of the same age and lithic composition and merits the name Vinini. Originally the Vinini was considered to be wholly of Ordovician age, but the unit designated as Vinini on many published maps includes, at the top, a massive chert unit, the Cherry Spring chert, now known to be of Early Silurian age. The formation is considered to have been deposited in relatively deep water, outboard of the contemporaneous carbonate bank to the east, because of its generally dark gray color and the near absence of a shelly fauna. The identity of strata underlying the Vinini over most of its range is uncertain due to the prevalence of faults, but the equivalent Palmetto Formation is known to be underlain depositionally by Upper Cambrian limestone deposits. The Vinini is overlain depositionally by Middle Silurian sandy strata. To the west, the Vinini grades laterally into the Valmy Formation, a somewhat similar unit, with the same age range. Together, the Vinini and Valmi formations constitute a principal part of lower Paleozoic deep-water units in Nevada known collectively as the "western assemblage".  To the east, separated by faults, is a bank of mainly shallow-water shelf carbonate rocks ranging in age from Cambrian to Devonian—the "eastern assemblage". Throughout its extent, the Vinini has been divided into two or three subunits. Regardless of how it has been subdivided, the lower part of the formation, wholly of Ordovician age, is extremely heterogeneous and coarsely granular, and the upper part, of Ordovician and Early Silurian ages, is more uniform and fine-grained, reflecting very different conditions of deposition. The Vinini has remarkably similar lithic and temporal correlatives, with other names, in Idaho, Arkansas (Ketner, 1980), Oklahoma (Ketner, 1980), Texas,(Noble, 1994), and Mexico (Ketner and Noll, 1987).

Lithic composition

This section is based mainly on the descriptions of the type section of the Vinini in the Roberts Mountains by Finney and Perry (1991), and the Vinini in a widespread area of northern Nevada by Ketner (1991).

Lower part

Regionally, the lower, heterogeneous, part of the Vinini is composed principally of the following components: beds of sandstone composed of the following clasts: quartz grains, fragments of calcareous and phosphatic organisms, the alga Nuia, dolomite rhombs, sponge spicules, and chert grains; less common are beds of conglomerate, feldspathic siltstone, shale, bedded chert, and greenstone. "Rip-up” clasts are common in some areas.  These are boulder-size, angular fragments of sandy limestone that, apparently, were "ripped up" by strong currents, from existing strata in a submarine environment. The angularity of these clasts and their similarity to underlying, undisturbed beds indicate very little transport.  The proportions of rock types vary stratigraphically and from place to place indicating a laterally varied and temporally shifting environment. Most of the sand-size components appear to be debris shed from the eastern, carbonate, assemblage. However, some beds are composed almost entirely of quartz grains, and this presents a problem: correlative shallow-water carbonate deposits in the eastern assemblage are free from quartz sand and could not have been the source.  Based on the age of associated zircons, this sand originated in central Laurentia (Linde et al., 2015), but the means by which the quartz grains reached the Vinini depositional area are unknown.

Upper part

Regionally, the upper part of the Vinini is composed largely of shale rich in graptolites, commonly overlain by a black, bedded chert unit, and topped by the conspicuously white Cherry Spring chert. Dark, very fine–grained limestone beds composed largely of the alga Nuia are locally present interbedded with the shale, as are quartz sandstone beds. The quartz sandstone beds are approximately correlative with the Eureka Quartzite in the eastern assemblage to the east of the Vinini and are thought to be genetically related to the Eureka (Finney and Perry, 1991).  The chert units are notable for their very thick beds. Except for bedding thickness, the black chert unit is like other Paleozoic bedded cherts in appearance, and is brittle, breaking into “cubes.” The Cherry Spring chert is thick-bedded and is white or nearly so, and unlike ordinary dark chert, it is tough and breaks conchoidally.

Sulfide deposits

Sulfide mineral deposits are an integral part of the Vinini, probably formed during deposition of the formation, and are not known to be related to igneous rocks. Iron sulfide (pyrite) and lead sulfide (galena) are present sporadically in the Vinini and, where oxidized, form colorful gossans.  Some of these deposits are in the lower part of the Vinini, but most appear to occur within the Cherry Spring chert.

Origin

Originally, the western assemblage including the Vinini was thought to have been deposited close to the eastern assemblage in a “geosyncline” with transitional beds between them.  But, beginning in the nineteen seventies, with the development of plate tectonics, the prevailing theory held that the western assemblage is an oceanic deposit originating in the open ocean or a back-arc oceanic basin. More recently, evidence was cited for deposition essentially in situ adjacent to the eastern assemblage.  Unquestionably, the formation was deposited in deep water relative to that of the eastern assemblage as indicated by its lithic composition as cited above, but its composition also precludes an oceanic or back-arc origin. The two-fold stratigraphic nature of the Vinini points to a deepening of the sea during deposition. The chert at the top of the upper part was deposited when the sea extended across the continent and, presumably, was at maximum depth in Nevada.,

Structure

The Vinini has been strongly deformed by folding, and by both low-angle and high-angle faulting. In the 1970s and 80s, folds and low-angle faults were ascribed to plate convergence in the Late Devonian by which the western assemblage was thrust or "obducted" via the Roberts Mountains thrust from an ocean basin onto the eastern assemblage at the margin of the continent as cited above. However, there is little evidence for strong tectonic deformation of Late Devonian age and much evidence that the Vinini and other components of the western assemblage were strongly deformed by later tectonic events.

title: Jim Muir

text:
Jim Muir (born 3 June 1948) is a British journalist, currently serving as a Middle East correspondent for BBC News, based in Beirut, Lebanon.

Education
Muir is of Scottish heritage, but was born in Farnborough, Hampshire in England in 1948, and was educated at Sedbergh School in Sedbergh, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire, before going on to study Oriental Studies (Arabic) at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a first class honours degree in 1969.

Career
Muir worked at Frank Cass & Co, a specialist international politics academic publishing company, in London between 1970 and 1974. Muir drove to Beirut after Christmas 1974, assuming Lebanon to be a safe haven in the turbulent Arab world. However, not long after arriving, a devastating 15-year civil war broke out. Muir was the Beirut correspondent for the Inter Press Service between 1975 and 1978, and then became a freelance correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Christian Science Monitor, and National Public Radio, among others. In 1980, Muir had to relocate to Cyprus and make periodic visits to Lebanon after being put on a Syrian hitlist. Muir is thought to be "the only western correspondent to cover the [civil war] from start to finish".

Muir said of Lebanon: "They used to say Lebanon was the country where you could ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon," he says. "But after one particular trip to the South, I remember thinking it should be billed as the country where you could get shot at by the Israelis in the morning, shelled by right-wing Christians at lunchtime, and kidnapped by Islamic fanatics in the afternoon." Muir was the Lebanon correspondent for Christopher Mayhew’s Middle East International.

As Lebanon's civil war died down, the Gulf War started. Muir monitoring Baghdad radio and provided news on the scene. Once Desert Storm had driven the Iraqis out of Kuwait, he went to northern Iraq to join the Kurds as they rose up against Saddam Hussein. Muir spent time embedded with the Kurdish Pesh Merga army as they defended themselves against the Iraqi central government. At this time, Muir had little contact with the outside world: "I had to shout my despatches down a tenuous walkie-talkie link to offices in Damascus which recorded them and passed them on to London. If they got through, the quality was so bad that they had to be voiced-over as though in a foreign language."

Muir continued to cover Lebanon and the wider Middle East, as well as Afghanistan and Bosnia between 1993 and 1994. Muir became a Middle East correspondent for BBC News based in Cairo, Egypt, between 1995 and 1999, in Tehran, Iran between 1999 and 2004, and he returned to Beirut in 2004. He has been a lead reporter on various stories, including the election of Mohammad Khatami as President of Iran, the Algerian Civil War, and most recently, the 2014 Northern Iraq offensive. In 2010, Muir received the MBI Lifetime Achievement Award at the International Media Awards.

title: Revenue stamps of Uganda

text:
Uganda issued revenue stamps from around 1896 to the 1990s. There were numerous types of revenue stamps for a variety of taxes and fees.

British Protectorate
The British Vice Consul used Uganda's typeset postal stamps for tax purposes in 1896. These stamps did not bear any printed overprint, but the word Consular was handwritten in manuscript diagonally on the stamps. The 1898 stamps portraying Queen Victoria also exist with this manuscript overprint.

In around 1898, the same Queen Victoria stamps were issued with an overprint reading Inland Revenue for use as general-duty fiscal stamps. These were replaced by East Africa and Uganda stamps overprinted Uganda Revenue in around 1903. Similar overprints were later issued on stamps of Kenya and Uganda or Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. Similar overprints remained in use on nearly every definitive issue up to independence.

From 1932 to 1938, various Luwalo stamps were issued to pay a labour-related tax. No issued examples are known to have survived and the only copies are specimens in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Collection of the British Library. These were replaced by poll tax stamps in 1940, which were Nyasaland key types showing King George VI. These remained in use until the 1950s.

In the 1930s, various Uganda revenues (previously overprinted on Kenya & Uganda or KUT stamps) were additionally overprinted to pay the motor driver's licence. From around 1946 to the mid-1950s, the 10/- value from the contemporary KUT George VI definitive issue were overprinted for use as immigration stamps. There are three types of the overprint.

Impressed duty stamps were introduced in Uganda in 1918 showing a design of a crown and leaves. These remained in use until the 1960s.

Independent
Uganda became an independent sovereign state on 9 October 1962. Postage stamps were issued for the occasion, and they were also later overprinted for fiscal use. The Uganda Revenue overprints were also applied to some values of the 1965 birds definitive. A new type featuring a crowned crane was issued in 1966, and it was reissued with a different watermark in around 1970. General duty revenue stamps are no longer in use in Uganda.

Around 1965, large white labels were issued to pay the airport service charge. In November 1973, a set of two-part stamps was issued to pay the levy on commercial transactions. A self-adhesive stamps showing Entebbe International Airport was issued in the 1990s to pay the passenger service chargee. The Uganda Revenue Authority issues various excise stamps to pay the tax on cigarettes up to this day.

Impressed duty stamps in vermilion showing a grey crowned crane were introduced in the 1970s and remain in use.

Buganda
A set of 10 stamps inscribed GRADUATED TAX BUGANDA and portraying King Mutesa II was prepared in early 1963. Only the 1/- value is known as an issued stamp.

title: Aeroflot Flight 101/435

text:
Aeroflot Flight 101/435 was a Soviet domestic passenger flight that was hijacked by its co-pilot, Shamil Alimuradov, on 19 December 1985, en route from Takhtamygda to Chita. Armed with a hatchet, Alimuradov demanded that captain Vyacheslav Abramyan divert the Antonov An-24 aircraft to China. Soviet officials authorized the crew to land in China, and gave Abramyan the radio frequency of Qiqihar Airport, but Alimuradov demanded that Abramayan fly to Hailar instead. The aircraft ran out of fuel, and landed in a cow pasture. Alimuradov was apprehended by the Chinese, and the passengers were allowed to travel to Hailar and Harbin. On 21 December, the crew and all 46 passengers returned safely to the Soviet Union.

Hijacking
According to the TASS news agency, the aircraft "had to alter its course as a result of forcible actions of an armed criminal on board and landed in the northeastern part of the People's Republic of China". In 1970, following the hijacking of Aeroflot Flight 244, aircraft captains in the Soviet Union were allowed to possess arms on board; but Abramyan, despite being armed, decided not to resist as it required unbuckling his seat's safety harness. However, he managed to contact air traffic control through a concealed button and report the hijacking.

When the aircraft landed in China, it ran out of food and the temperature outside the aircraft was . The Chinese did not allow the crew to warm the cabin because it required starting the engines. Later the passengers were given food and accommodation in a Hailar hotel. The Soviet embassy in Beijing was notified of the incident.

The next day the passengers were given questionnaires with only name and purpose of visit to be filled out. The passengers were advised to write "tourist trip" as the purpose of the visit. Then they visited Qiqihar, ate in a local restaurant and received Chinese vacuum flasks as gifts.

Aftermath
The passengers returned from Harbin to Chita on a Tupolev Tu-134. Shamil Alimuradov was found guilty after a one-day trial in the Harbin Intermediate People's Court, where he was represented by a Chinese lawyer, and sentenced in March 1986 to eight years in prison. After three years he was returned to the Soviet Union, where he was sentenced to five more years under Soviet laws. The hijacked aircraft was flown back to the Soviet Union in January 1986.

At the right side of the offering table the stele depicts and describes sacrificial food such as poultry, onions, lettuce and bread. Furthermore, the stela contains a list in tabular form, it provides the enumeration and description of precious clothes and fabrics such as canvas and yarn. The list also contains the enumeration and description of several sorts of fragrance oil and incense.

Identity
Nefer-Setekh's only preserved bureaucratic title is that of an "wab-priest of the king". Details about his family are unknown.

Nefer-Setekh's name means "Seth is merciful", since the hieroglyphic sign for Nefer (Gardiner sign F35) means "kindly" or "merciful" when connected to a certain deity. The name is of special interest for Egyptologists and Historians as well, because it is directly addressed to the deity Seth. This leads Egyptologists such as Toby Wilkinson and Christiana Köhler to a datation of Nefer-Setekh's lifetime into the late midst of the 2nd dynasty, when the deity Seth experienced special popularity. Other Egyptologists, such as Jochem Kahl and Katrin Scheele contradict this datation. The use of slab stelas with tabular lists including the enumeration of offering items is not archaeologically attested until the beginning of the 3rd dynasty and special signs for numbers such as used in Nefer-Setekh's stela were also not in use before that time.
