title: Rogers Road streetcar line

text:
The Rogers Road streetcar line was a streetcar line that operated mainly within the Township of York (later the Borough of York, today a district within the City of Toronto) from 1924 to 1974. The line was owned by the Township of York Railways, which in turn was owned by its namesake municipality. The Township of York Railways contracted with the Toronto Transportation Commission, later the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to operate the line.

The Rogers Road line opened on the same day in 1924 as the Oakwood streetcar line which shared the same tracks between St. Clair Avenue and Rogers Road along Oakwood Avenue. As with the Rogers Road line, the Oakwood line was owned by the Township of York Railways and operated by the TTC; it operated north from St. Clair Avenue to Eglinton Avenue where it turned west to Gilbert Loop at Gilbert Avenue. The Oakwood line closed in 1960.

Timeline

The Rogers streetcar began operating on November 19, 1924. The initial route ran north from St. Clair Avenue (Oakwood Loop), along Oakwood Avenue and turned west at Rogers Road, continuing to Dufferin Street. The TTC used bidirectional Birney streetcars inherited from the Toronto Civic Railways, which used a crossover at Dufferin Street to change direction. Service excluded Sundays and holidays.

On January 4, 1925, the TTC inaugurated Sunday and holiday service on the line. On August 29, 1925, the Rogers Road line was extended to Bicknell Loop, located just east of Weston Road on Bicknell Avenue.

On November 4, 1926, the TTC introduced one-man, unidirectional streetcars inherited from the Toronto Street Railway during rush hours. This supplemented the Birney streetcars in base service. On May 24, 1927, former TRC streetcars fully replaced the Birneys.

On August 1, 1947, small Peter Witt streetcars replaced the TRC streetcars. On September 7, 1952, PCC streetcars replaced the Peter Witts.

On July 1, 1954, the Rogers line became part of the TTC's one-fare system eliminating the separate York Township fare.

On May 16, 1955, after the opening of the Yonge Subway in 1954, Rogers streetcars were extended eastward from Oakwood to St. Clair Station during rush hour.

The final Rogers Road streetcar travelled east to the St. Clair Carhouse on July 19, 1974. Beginning on July 21, 1974, the route was replaced by the 63F Ossington trolley bus line which ran from King Street to the Bicknell Loop. In the brief interim, diesel buses were temporarily operated. The 48 Humber Blvd route provided service west of Bicknell Loop to Jane Street.

Demise
Several reasons are given for the demise of the Rogers Road streetcar. The Borough of York (formerly the Township of York) wanted to extend Rogers Road service across Weston Road to Humber Boulevard and Jane Street, but the TTC said this was not possible using streetcars. (Buses would not provide such a route until 1994.) The Borough also wanted to repair Rogers Road but was unwilling to pay the cost of repairing the streetcar tracks. In 1972, Toronto City council decided to retain all streetcar service within the City of Toronto, but that excluded the Rogers Road streetcar line since it was in the Borough of York. Terminating the streetcar line would free up streetcars to act as spares while the TTC was rebuilding its aging PCC fleet. The TTC considered the conversion of the Rogers streetcar to trolley bus operation to be ideal; the streetcar already followed a trolley bus line on Oakwood Avenue between Oakwood Loop and Rogers Road.

At its peak, the Rogers streetcar had a frequency of every 3 minutes. Towards its end, the frequency fell to every 5 minutes, as the north-south 29 Dufferin and 41 Keele bus routes were funneling riders south to the Bloor-Danforth subway.

Postscript
Soon after closure, the streetcar tracks east of Old Weston Road were removed, but streetcar tracks remained visible in the street between Bicknell Loop and Old Weston Road until 2000. In 1992, the trolley buses on Rogers Road were replaced by diesel buses. In October 2020, all remaining bus services using Bicknell Loop were extended to Avon Loop at Weston Road. Bicknell Loop was sold off and was replaced by a housing development on its site in 2017.

title: Andy Morton

text:
Andy Morton (1882-1950) was a pioneering Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1900s and 1910s. An Australia international and New South Wales state representative backline player, he played club football for North Sydney and in England for Hull F.C.

Playing career
Morton played for the North Sydney club during the 1908 NSWRFL season, the first ever for rugby league in Australia. That season he played for New South Wales in the first ever interstate rugby league match. His club lost his services just before the finals, along with Norths' teammates Sid Deane, Jim Devereaux and Dinny Lutge as they had been selected to go on the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. Morton was the first Australian to score a try in Britain: in their victory over Welsh club Mid-Rhondda in the first match of the tour. He was also selected to play on the wing in the second Test match loss, becoming Kangaroo No. 26. He scored 30pts (4t, 9g) in another 22 matches on tour. Morton and Norths' teammate Deveraux were signed by English club Hull, and remained in England to play.

Andy Morton played left-, i.e. number 4, in Hull FC's 7–7 draw with Leeds in the 1910 Challenge Cup Final during the 1909–10 season at Fartown Ground, Huddersfield, on Saturday 16 April 1910, in front of a crowd of 19,413, this was the first Challenge Cup Final to be drawn, and played left-, i.e. number 4, in the 12–26 defeat by Leeds in the 1910 Challenge Cup Final replay at Fartown Ground, Huddersfield, on Monday 18 April 1910, in front of a crowd of 11,608.

After two seasons with Hull, Morton returned to Australia and resumed his career with North Sydney.

Death
Morton died at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital on 18 October 1950, age 68. His funeral was held the following afternoon at Northern Suburbs Crematorium.

title: Forest buzzard

text:
The forest buzzard (Buteo trizonatus), is a species of bird of prey found in Africa, though some authorities have placed it as a subspecies of another species, the mountain buzzard, Buto oreophilus. This is a resident breeding species in woodlands in southern and eastern South Africa.

Description
The forest buzzard is very similar to the abundant summer migrant steppe buzzard Buteo buteo vulpinus, the head, the back and upperwings are brown, marked out with rufous edges to the feathers the amount of which varies between individuals.  The chin is whitish and  unmarked, the breast and belly are whitish but marked with a variable amount of brown spots, and the undertail coverts are plain whitish. There is variation and some adults show brown barring along the breast sides and the belly while all but the palest birds show a distinctive white ‘U’ mark in the middle of the otherwise blotched abdomen. The underwings are white, with a reddish-brown tinge on the lesser underwing coverts and a dark comma shaped mark at the tip of primary coverts . The plumage on the thighs are uniformly reddish-brown, and the axillary feathers are white with brown barring. The upper tail is brown, washed with reddish-brown and the tail has some narrow dark brown bands with a broad dark brown subterminal band while the undertail bands can be indistinct. The body length is  and the wingspan is .

Distribution and movements
The forest buzzard is endemic to South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini where it occurs in an arc from the mountains of eastern Limpopo Province south through the Drakensberg of Kwazulu-Natal to the Western Cape.

It as, at least, a partial migrant and seems to be a winter visitor (June–August) in the Drakensberg of Eastern Cape northwards where there are no breeding records. Two birds ringed in the east (Kwazulu-Natal and Mpumalanga) were subsequently recovered in the south of South Africa having moved between .

Habitat
The forest buzzard, as its name implies, inhabits evergreen woodlands, including introduced eucalyptus and pines, whereas the steppe buzzard prefers more open habitats. However, habitat alone is not a good indicator for these species.

Habits
The forest buzzard hunts along the edge of or in the forest, where it is a sit and wait predator which pounces on prey from a perch. It has been recorded as preying on small mammals, birds up to the size of a turaco or a francolin, snakes, lizards, frogs, grasshoppers, wasps, beetles and scorpions.

Its breeding biology is little known but it is thought to be territorial and monogamous. The nest is a large structure of sticks with an interior cup, lined with green leaves and sometimes with beard lichen Usnea spp. It is typically situated in the fork or lower branch of a tree in the forest interior, especially pines or eucalyptus but also indigenous trees such as small-leaved yellowwood (Afrocarpus falcatus). The two eggs are laid in the period from August–November, with most being laid in September–October. The eggs are laid asynchronously so the first laid hatches first and the older sibling is aggressive to its younger chick, preventing it from having food and if food is scarce the younger one will starve. They fledge at about 47 days old and become fully independent roughly four months.

Taxonomy
The forest buzzard forms part of a superspecies which includes the common buzzard and the Madagascar buzzard, as well as the mountain buzzard. The decision to treat forest buzzard and mountain buzzard as different species is based on differences in habitat, structure and plumages and the fact that the two taxa are not monophyletic. It is likely that the forest buzzard evolved from the steppe buzzard, which is a common wintering bird within the breeding range of the forest buzzard. The steppe buzzards is a generalist and breeds over a large area of the eastern Palearctic in a variety of habitats and winters widely in eastern and southern Africa, with a few non-breeding birds remaining in southern Africa over the northern summer.

Conservation status
The forest buzzard was formerly considered threatened in South Africa but the increase in exotic plantations and the species adaptation to breed in those plantations has allowed the population to increase. It is therefore treated as Near Threatened by the IUCN

title: Shamir (musician)

text:
Shamir Bailey (born November 7, 1994) is an American singer and songwriter from Las Vegas, Nevada. His debut extended play (EP), Northtown, was released in June 2014 to positive reviews. In October 2014, he signed to XL Recordings and released the single "On the Regular". His debut LP Ratchet was released on May 19, 2015 in the United States. Since then he has released seven independent studio albums, Hope (2017), Revelations (2017), Resolution (2018), Be the Yee, Here Comes the Haw (2019), Cataclysm (2019), Shamir (2020), and Heterosexuality (2022).

Early life
Shamir grew up in North Las Vegas, an area that he has called "cookie-cutter suburban." He was raised as a Muslim but describes himself as "more spiritual than religious, I don't believe in god per se, I kind of feel like god is the universe." Shamir is non-binary, informing an interviewer in 2015 that "I don't identify as gay because I don't identify as male or female". Although he does not have a preferred pronoun, he is comfortable with male pronouns, and "never really got" singular they.

His aunt was in the music business and lived with Shamir and his mother. Bass players and producers were guests at the family's home, helping his aunt with her songs. His parents and aunt introduced him to a wide range of music, including hip-hop, R&B, Outkast, Groove Theory, and singers like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Janis Joplin. At age nine, Shamir received an Epiphone guitar, and began writing music.

At age 16, he formed a punk band with a friend, but the band ended quickly when his partner froze on stage at their first gig. During his high school years, he recorded tracks for his first EP. Shortly after graduating from high school, he sent a demo tape to the Godmode label in New York City. The label founder Nick Sylvester signed him to the label.

Music career
Shamir's debut EP, Northtown, was released by Godmode in June 2014 and is named for the Northtown neighborhood where he grew up. Jules Muir, writing for the music blog Pigeons & Planes noted that Shamir "continues to make a bigger name for himself with every new release and a unique new sound on each." Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork called the EP's opening track, "If It Wasn't True" "a stunning opening salvo, one that plays on the tension between Shamir's slender vocal and lyrical naiveté and grimy, threatening instrumental tones before devolving into a chaotic mess, swallowed by a haphazardly firing synth corroding in real-time." In July 2014, Flavorwire named Shamir's "If It Wasn't True" one of its "25 Best Songs of 2014 So Far".  Radio.com also included Shamir in its "New Music To Know: Best of 2014, So Far" profile, noting that "Shamir combines the honest songwriting of Taylor Swift with the theatrics of Lana Del Rey to make something that sounds far wiser than his 19 years."

After signing to XL Recordings, he released the single "On the Regular" in October 2014 which went on to be used in a 2015 Android Wear commercial. In March 2015, he released "Call It Off" as a single in the debut album, Ratchet, released on May 19, 2015. The accompanied music video was made and released as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards. "Darker" was the second single from Ratchet; the song was released in May 2015. In 2015, he toured with Years & Years, opening for their UK dates. In mid-March 2016, he served as the opening act for Troye Sivan's Blue Neighbourhood Tour. On April 17, 2017, Shamir released his second album, Hope. He revealed he was dropped from XL Recordings and self-released the album.

After Hope was released, Shamir broke with his management team and again considered quitting his music career. After a psychotic episode, he spent time in a psychiatric hospital, where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He returned to Las Vegas, where he wrote and recorded most of his third album, Revelations, in two weeks. Noting that the style of the album differed significantly from his previous work, he told a journalist: "A lot of people think I'm crazy. I guess I kind of am. But I also know what's best for me, and that's more important than fame and money".

Shamir was featured on Wussy Magazines "Sex Issue" in 2018. On March 9, 2018, Shamir released his fourth album, Resolution without any prior announcement. Resolution marks a continuation of Shamir's indie rock style, similar to Hope and Revelations.

In 2020, Shamir released the self-titled full length album, Shamir. It was co-produced by Kyle Pulley, and many of the songs, including the single "On My Own" were recorded at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia. The album was met with critical acclaim and made year end lists for Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and NPR Music.

Shamir published his first book, But I'm a Painter, with Bottlecap Press in 2021, a collection of essays about paintings he created over the previous six years.

Musical style
Shamir is known for having an androgynous countertenor voice. Radio.com wrote that Shamir's singing voice, "like Joplin's, stops you in your tracks." He does not mind having his voice described as androgynous, but notes that "countertenor" is the correct term: "It's not feminine, it's not masculine. It's a happy medium ... I feel like if the world was more like that, our problems would be gone."

Critic Jamieson Cox, writing for Pitchfork Media, wrote: With a piercing countertenor somewhere between Prince masquerading as Camille and the cracking adolescent soul of the teenage Michael Jackson, the 19-year-old North Las Vegas native dismantles the expectations maintained for vocalists based on their gender, demanding instead that the focus be placed on their agile, fluttering performance.

Lizzie Plaugic of CMJ called Shamir's music "amazingly unclassifiable," like a "souped-up Vegas Strip disco with a self-conscious pop bent," and wrote that his voice "limbers and stretches like a wad of pink Silly Putty dipped in glitter." In a 2020 Vulture interview, Shamir cited Taylor Swift as an inspiration and influence on his songwriting.

title: Devil's Mile

text:
Devil's Mile is a 2014 Canadian horror film and the feature film directorial debut of Joseph O'Brien, who also wrote the script (developed in collaboration with producer Mark Opausky) and created the film's visual effects. The film premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 26, 2014, and was released on DVD and VOD on August 12, 2014. The film arrived on AMC's premiere horror streaming service Shudder on May 11, 2020.

It stars Casey Hudecki, Maria del Mar and David Hayter as a team of kidnappers who find themselves lost on a sinister stretch of highway where the laws of not only time and space, but life and death, no longer apply.

O'Brien cast the film with a mixture of newcomers and faces familiar to genre audiences. He re-united with Maria del Mar, having first worked with her on the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Robocop: Prime Directives, which he co-wrote. The physically demanding lead role of Jacinta was written specifically for Casey Hudecki, whose background as a stage actor and stunt performer made her ideal for the part. O'Brien was already a fan of David Hayter's work as both a writer and actor, and was delighted when he agreed to join the cast as the villainous Toby after reading the script.

Synopsis
Toby (David Hayter), Cally (Maria del Mar), and Jacinta (Casey Hudecki) are a fractious team of professional kidnappers who become lost while en route to deliver a valuable "package"—two teenage girls, Kanako (Amanda Joy) and Suki (Samantha Wan) -- to their employer Mr. Arkadi (Frank Moore), a mysterious and terrifying mob boss. Tensions between the group reach critical mass after a botched escape attempt leaves Kanako dead, a failure that the notoriously cruel Arkadi will not forgive. As the survivors struggle to find an escape from the dire consequences awaiting them, they discover they have a bigger problem: Devil's Mile, the lonely stretch of highway they've found themselves on, seems to have no end. But when Kanako returns from the dead, transformed into a shape-shifting demonic entity (Shara Kim), they are forced to accept that the laws of not only time and space, but life and death, no longer apply. With no escape in sight, secrets are exposed, true identities are revealed, and one of them discovers that redemption can be had... at a terrible price.

Reception
The film received polarized reviews. Shock Till You Drop panned the film overall, criticizing the film's script and direction, as they felt that O'Brien "goes overboard with the tricks and gimmicks." Bloody Disgusting was also highly critical of the film and commented that they saw the film as being "weird for weirdness sake, without any real thematic or pulpy endgame in mind"

However, Twitch Film praised the film's visual elements, script, and post effects, stating that "O'Brien displays the right amount of patience to get the right amount of tension out of his audience.", while Ain't It Cool News enthused that the film "throws everything and a flaming kitchen sink at the bandits and the viewer.", while also noting "O’Brien ends up wrapping it up rather poetically with a few smart twists along the way."

In October 2013 Benny Gantz, the IDF's chief of staff, made the appointment.

Alian was wounded in a battle on 19 July 2014 during overnight clashes in the northern Gaza Strip as part of Operation Protective Edge. He was lightly injured in his eye, but his vision was not affected. He was evacuated to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and while being treated he reportedly stated, "I have a lot of soldiers over there and I need to get back to them". He later returned to his soldiers after being treated.

On March 14, 2021, he was promoted to Aluf rank and on April 6 of the same year he began his role as the head of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories

title: Cannabis and time perception

text:
The effect of cannabis on time perception has been studied with inconclusive results. Studies show consistently throughout the literature that most cannabis users self-report the experience of a slowed perception of time.  In the laboratory, researchers have confirmed the effect of cannabis on the perception of time in both humans and animals. Studies have sought to explain how cannabis changes the internal clock. Matthew et al. (1998) looked at the cerebellum, positing a relationship between cerebellar blood flow and the distortion of time perception.

Psychoactive effects
Reports of the effects of cannabis on time perception can be found first in arts and literature, and then in medical reports and studies. Notable discussions of the effects occur in "Le Club des Hachichin" (1846), a work  by French poet Théophile Gautier, and in Les Paradis Artificiels (1860), a work by Charles Baudelaire.  French physician Jacques-Joseph Moreau studied the effects of cannabis with the help of Gautier and other artists who experimented with hashish in the Club des Hashischins.  Moreau published his findings in Hashish and Mental Illness: Psychological Studies (1846), noting that hashish caused "errors of time and space" and "time dragging".

Later, in 1958, South African physician Frances Ames studied the effects of cannabis extract, noting the "disordered time perception" experienced by her subjects where "brief periods seemed immensely long". American poet Allen Ginsberg's "First Manifesto to End the Bringdown" (1966) noted that "the vast majority all over the world who have smoked the several breaths necessary to feel the effect, adjust to the strangely familiar sensation of Time slow-down."  American physician Jerome Groopman of Harvard Medical School, reported that the "perception of time is altered, generally with perceived time faster than clock time" in people who have ingested cannabis.  Multiple review studies have confirmed these reports.

In music
Most notably, cannabis has had a long association among musicians and the music industry.  Musicians and audiences who use cannabis often report the primary subjective effects as a distortion of time perception, which acts to augment both musical performance and music appreciation.  Contrary to the effects produced by stimulant use, cannabis use is reported to give the performer or listener a subjective perception of time expansion, resulting in the overestimation of the passage of time.  Dosage and method of ingestion may lessen or accentuate this effect.  This subjective effect of time expansion is responsible for most of the anecdotal accounts in the literature. The effects of cannabis on musicians and those who listen to music are the subject of research in social pharmacology and music therapy.

title: Sierra Vista Mall

text:
Sierra Vista Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Clovis, California. Opened in 1988, the mall features Kohl's, and Target, plus a go-kart track, indoor Laser Tag park, and 16-screen movie theater. Two empty anchors were formerly occupied by Sears (closed April 18, 2021), and United Artists Theaters (closed December 14, 2006).

History
Sierra Vista Mall was built in 1988 by the Hahn Company. While early plans called for both May Co. and Macy's stores, the original anchor stores were Mervyn's, Gottschalks, and Target. The mall was sold to Citicorp in 1995 and again to LandValue in 2002. A Sears was added in 1999 along with 10 other stores.

In 2006, an outdoor lifestyle center section was added, including several restaurants and a 16-screen movie theater. Both Mervyn's and Gottschalks closed when the chains declared bankruptcy, in 2008 and 2009 respectively. causing a decrease in mall foot traffic. The Gottschalks store was intended to reopen in 2010 as a flagship for a failed revival of the chain.

Kohl's replaced the Mervyn's in 2010, and an indoor go-kart track replaced part of the former Gottschalks in 2014. The mall was sold at a foreclosure auction for $39 million to LNR Property LLC in January 2015. No Surrender Laser Tag & Adventure Park moved from their location across town to the rest of the former Gottschalks store in 2017.

In recent years, the mall has struggled to attract and retain tenants, with many major chains, including Sunglass Hut, PacSun, Foot Locker, and Wet Seal, leaving the mall. National chains currently remaining include Bath & Body Works, Claire's, GameStop and Famous Footwear.

Multiple stores closed in the mall after the 2018 holiday season, including Sunglass Hut, Payless Shoesource, Blast Pizza, and Things Remembered, among other less known shops.

In early 2020, the mall's Starbucks closed, relocating to a freestanding drive-thru building across the street. Closures continued into the start of the 2020 holiday shopping season, with Victoria's Secret, New York & Company, and GNC among those closing.

On January 29, 2021, it was announced that Sears would be closing on April 18, 2021 as part of a plan to close 23 stores nationwide which will leave Kohl's and Target as the only traditional anchors left. The store closed permanently on April 18, 2021.

title: Northtown (EP)

text:
Northtown is the debut EP by American singer-songwriter Shamir Bailey, better known by his stage name, Shamir.  The EP has elements of R&B, house and dance music.  It was produced by Nick Sylvester, the founder of New York's Godmode label, and released on June 6, 2014.  The EP was rated as one of the best releases by a new artist in 2014.

Track listing

Production
The Northtown EP was produced by Nick Sylvester, founder of the Godmode label.  Shortly after graduating from high school, Shamir emailed a demo tape to Godmode, hoping to find a label to release the demo tape.  Sylvester called the music "kind of like an R&B 'Yeezus'" and contacted Shamir the day after hearing the tape.  Sylvester invited Shamir to come to New York City to make some "real music" as opposed to just releasing the demo tape.

Critical reception
Northtown has received generally positive reviews from music critics.

The music blog, NME, has rated Northtown as "one of 2014's most essential new EP's."  In a review of the EP for NME, Eve Barlow wrote: The disco-worshipping, androgynous teen might hail from Las Vegas but on the strength of these five songs (three funky-house stompers, one stupendous ballad and a heart-rending cover of Lindi Ortega) it's fair to say his spiritual homeland is late-'80s Detroit and his god an ill-behaved hybrid of Grace Jones and Frankie Knuckles... If this is the house that Shamir built, I'm moving in.

In July 2014, Radio.com included Northtown in its "New Music To Know: Best of 2014, So Far" profile, noting that "Shamir combines the honest songwriting of Taylor Swift with the theatrics of Lana Del Rey to make something that sounds far wiser than his 19 years."

Foster Kamer of Pigeons & Planes rated Northtown as "2014's most exciting R&B Dance-Pop debut."

In July 2014, Flavorwire named Northtown's opening track one of its "25 Best Songs of 2014 So Far".

title: Simson Alexander David

text:
Simson Alexander David (November 13, 1755 – Winter 1813) was a German art dealer, author, journalist, and member of the French secret police in the Napoleonic era, who was also known as Karl Julius Lange.

Born as Simson Alexander David in Brunswick, Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel as the tenth and youngest son of the "court jew" Alexander David, he grew up in a family with a great fortune and much political influence. His father was one of the most respected advisers of duke Charles (Karl) I., who needed the wealth of his "Kammeragent" or chamber agent for his luxury expenditures. With the death of his father (1765), young Simson inherited at least 10 000 gold taler, worth a few million dollars compared to the purchasing power of the present. Due to the financial inability and extravagance of his young mother Deborah Siemons, Simson was in danger of becoming bankrupt, even before he started as an adult his own business as an arts dealer. Only the intervention of his guardian saved him from early ruin.

Under the name Alexander Daveson, he started his business in the year 1778. Even while he had famous customers like the duke of Brunswick, the scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, his income seems to have been very modest. Plans to produce a collection of copies of ancient engraved gems never became reality. Shortly after he was involved in a scandal at the very popular lottery of nearby Kassel (April 1779). The authorities of Kassel suspected Simson of fraud by consistently filling out lots after the drawings. The successor of the late duke of Brunswick, Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, sent him to jail. Despite a detailed investigation, there was no incriminating evidence against Simson. Maybe the new duke only wanted to take revenge against the man who had sold many luxury goods to the former duke.

While in jail at Brunswick, the only man, who helped Simson was the famous author and librarian Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, who had great sympathies for outsiders of all kind. After his release Simson moved to Lessings home at Wolfenbüttel and stayed with him until the death of his benefactor (February 15, 1781). Lessing literally died "in the arms" of Simson, a fact, that was stubbornly disbelieved by the local public, who felt annoyed by it. Even after his death, Lessing was regularly criticized by authorities and Christian contemporaries for his contacts with Jews and "dubious people". Many years later, Simson asserted, that he helped Lessing with a lot of money, for the librarian got only a very modest salary from the duke.

Soon after Lessings death, Simson travelled to England, where he stayed nine years. Since no detailed information or documents were found in the archives about these years of Simsons life, it is left to speculation, what kind of profession he had. Maybe he worked as a teacher, translator, travel companion or even Deklamator (recitator). He contended having been a student of the English language, trained by the prominent London publicist and philologist Samuel Johnson. Apparently Simson attended consistently British parliament sessions, being enthusiastic about the prominent orators, especially the liberal politician Charles James Fox, who openly sympathized with the American and later on with the French revolution.

In October 1790 Simson came back to Germany, having become at that time a warm admirer of British culture and politics. He appeared at Hamburg first under the name Charles Lange, altering it shortly afterwards to Karl Julius Lange (apparently he was baptized). At the same time he adopted arbitrarily the title of a "professor of eloquence and English language". On the stage of the Hamburg theatre he tried to impress the audience with "attic entertainment", excerpts from Shakespeare plays and parliamentary debates. The spectators reacted with ridicule and laughter. Simson was mocked at for his small stature, his unmanageable hair, his bad teeth and his total inability to act. Nevertheless, Simson repeatedly tried to make a living as an actor. In Brunswick he was welcomed by the court and got a chance to perform with recitations in the local opera house, being applauded at least by the attending court members.

After a short stay at Hanover and Vienna, where he published his first article about German language in the Wiener Zeitung, he went on a voyage to Switzerland. In 1794 he settled at Schweinfurt, Upper Franconia, where he married the sister of a Bayreuth official and wrote his first, two-volume book (Über die Schweiz und die Schweizer/On Switzerland and the Swiss). It was widely discussed in the German and Swiss press, because Karl Julius Lange criticized the political system of Swiss cities like Zurich and Basel as undemocratic and inhuman.

For a few months Lange worked as a journalist for the Englische Blätter, a magazine about English politics, which was published at Erlangen. In 1796 he started his career as secret press agent of Karl-August von Hardenberg, the Prussian minister for the recently acquired Franconian principalities of Bayreuth and Ansbach. Hardenberg urgently needed a capable journalist for his propaganda against local and regional noblemen, who felt overruled by Prussia and who looked for some help in Vienna, where the Austrian Emperor took any chance to weaken Prussia.

After several years as the much lauded editor-in-chief of the firmly democratic and liberal Deutsche Reichs- und Staatszeitung, Lange was sent to jail in May 1799 at Bayreuth for insulting the Emperor and the Austrian army. He had insinuated, that the Austrian authorities actively participated in the murder of three French diplomats at the Rastatt peace talks on April, 29, 1799. This allegation was never confirmed, but many eyewitnesses of the Rastatt events shared Simson's perception. Even while he had published his biweekly newspaper and all his personal articles with the secret assistance and subsidies of Hardenberg, the minister could not help him any longer, for the Berlin authorities had no interest in provoking the Austrian government.

Lange twice fled from jail and emigrated to Altona, then a Danish town next to Hamburg with a very liberal press law. The next years he published a lot of articles and books about his life at Bayreuth, his sentence and stubbornly tried to get a pardon from the Prussian king. Not before 1804, when political circumstances had changed a lot, he could return to Prussia and moved to Berlin, becoming a journalist and propagandist of Karl August von Hardenberg again. He released a few magazines, who all had a very limited life span, for Simson again and again had troubles with the censorship (Der Nordische Merkur, Der deutsche Herold).

With the outbreak of the Prussian-French war in early autumn 1806, Lange started a new paper Der Telegraph, the first German newspaper, which was published daily, including Sundays and holidays. For he changed his political views after the great victory of Napoleon at Jena and Auerstedt in a very spectacular way and in the short period of only two weeks from a Prussian patriot to an admirer of Napoleon and the French army, Lange became the most hated man in Berlin. He was blamed being corrupt, opportunistic and an impertinent, for he criticized the old Prussian regime as outdated and swore at Queen Luise, the most admired woman of that time in Prussia.

After the withdrawal of the French from Berlin in December 1808, Lange went with the French army to Stettin and Erfurt, but his Telegraph was never published again after December 3, notwithstanding the personal will of Napoleon, who tried to revive the paper in January 1809. Lange worked as a consultant of the French army in the censorship of German newspapers. The Bamberg journalist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, later on a famous philosopher, and the author August von Kotzebue mocked Lange as a corrupt servant of the French.

In the summer of 1811 Lange planned to write his memoirs in Frankfurt, but they were never published. According to newspaper articles of March 1813, Lange died at Minsk, presumably in the last months of 1812 or early 1813. There is no information about his job or even how he came there. According to a note from the Bayreuth city archive, he was a "civilian official" with the French army, who invaded Russia in 1812. His wife Caroline lived in poverty in Bayreuth and died January 1848.

Through the 1970s he travelled across Europe, the US and the UK, expanding his knowledge of various art forms. As an example, came during a residency at the Gloucestershire College of Art in Cheltenham, UK, in 1978, Makin viewed a Georgio Morandi exhibition that left a lasting impression. In particular Makin was impressed by European landscape tradition in works by Salvator Rosa, Paul Cézanne, and David Bomberg. Upon returning to Australia, Makin revisited several Australian works, notably those of Eugene Von Guerard and Fred Williams.

Makin attended various painting excursions with fellow landscape artists and friends, and had painted outdoors with Fred Williams regularly since the early 1970s. Together, Williams and Makin would find places and landmarks that had been painted by members of the Heidelberg School artists camps including Tom Roberts, and Arthur Streeton of the Australian impressionist movement. The 1982 death of his good friend and mentor Fred Williams had a profound impact on Makin and his future work. Not long after, Makin exhibited his first sell-out show, the 'Ash Wednesday' series at Realities Gallery, Melbourne, and his first European show at Bernard Jacobson Gallery in London, in 1983.

In 2001, Makin took part in an expedition to Lake Eyre in South Australia, along with nine other artists including John Olsen, Tim Storrier, Robert Jacks, David Larwill and others. The project was funded by the David Deague Family Foundation and resulted in a book, William Creek and Beyond, a film documentary and a touring exhibition.

Makin's motifs included seascapes, waterfalls and pastoral vistas. Notable locations such as the You Yangs (first introduced to Makin by Williams), the Grampians and Wannon Falls. In 1990, he resigned from his academic post at the Royal Institute of Technology (RMIT) to become a full-time artist. This followed his tenure in an artist-in-residence program at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

On his return to Australia in 1991, Makin lived in a historic property, Glen Harrow, in the Dandenong Ranges, which provided him with a lush garden and surrounding landscape in which he could enhance his technique.

Academic and other roles
He has held numerous professional appointments alongside his painting career including Senior and Principal Lectureships in Fine Art at Melbourne institutions such as RMIT, Phillip Institute of Technology, Prahran College of Advanced Education. In 1996/97 he re-entered academic life as Foundation Director to set up the new National Art School in Sydney.

He has also written extensively as art critic for The Sun News-Pictorial from 1972 to 1982, and the Herald Sun from 1997 to 2009. He has contributed to numerous magazines, and has several books to his name, the latest being Critical Moments, published by MacMillan in 2011.

Awards and recognition
Early in his career, Makin was awarded numerous art prizes, including:
Rockdale Prize
Drummoyne Prize
Mirror-Waratah Prize

Collections

Makin's works are represented in all national, state and most regional and institutional collections in Australia. These include NGA, NGV, AGNSW, QAG, AGWA, Parliament House, Geelong, Benalla, Sale, Townsville, as well as La Trobe and Melbourne University collections. His works are also in numerous private collections in Australia, the UK and the USA.

Family and personal life

Makin currently lives and works in an old music hall in a village called Chewton in the Central Goldfields region of Victoria. He is married to Elizabeth Crompton with whom he has two sons, James Makin and Hugh Makin. James Makin co-directs Port Jackson Press Gallery with Jeffrey Makin and is also the director of James Makin Gallery in Collingwood, Victoria. Hugh Makin is a bespoke furniture designer who runs the Makin Workshop.

title: Friedrich Sarre

text:
Friedrich Paul Theodor Sarre (22 June 1865, in Berlin – 31 May 1945, in Neubabelsberg) was a German Orientalist, archaeologist and art historian who amassed a collection of Islamic art.

In 1895-96, inspired by Carl Humann, he conducted archaeological research in Phrygia, Lycaonia, and Pisidia, investigating architectural monuments and collecting epigraphic material. During two archaeological field seasons from 1911 to 1913 he excavated at Samarra, the 9th-century capital of the Abbasid dynasty, with Ernst Herzfeld. The two men published their findings in "Archäologische Reise im Euphrat-und Tigris Gebeit" ("Archaeological journey in the Euphrates and Tigris region").

He collected art from throughout the Middle East, especially from Persia and Constantinople. These items were put on exhibition in Berlin (1899), and later Paris at the Exposition des arts musulmans (1903). He donated most of his collection to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin, where from 1921 to 1931 he was the director of its "Islamic department".

title: U.S. Route 281 Alternate (Texas)

text:
Alternate U.S. Highway 281 (Alt. US 281) is a spur of the U.S. Highway System. The highway serves the small communities of Whitsett and Campbellton, about  southeast of San Antonio in the state of Texas.

Route description
Alt. US 281 begins at an interchange with Interstate 37/US 281 (I-37/US 281) about  southeast of Whitsett; the same interchange also provides access to Farm to Market Road 2049 (FM 2049). The highway enters the town and crosses FM 99 before leaving. Just north of Whitsett, the highway turns from a northwesterly direction to a more northward one. The highway passes by many farms before entering Atascosa County. After the intersection with FM 1099, the highway enters Campbellton. Alt. US 281 is concurrent with FM 791 through the town before separating just north of the city limits. About a mile to the north of here, the highway crosses FM 140. Alt. US 281 reaches its northern terminus at another interchange with I-37/US 281 about  north of Campbellton.

History
The highway was created in 1982 when US 281 was re-rerouted a few miles to the east onto Interstate 37. The old alignment of US 281 through Whitsett and Campbellton was then resigned as Alt. US 281.

title: Rancho San Isidro Ajajolojol

text:
Rancho San Isidro Ajajolojol, also known as Rancho Joljol or Toljol or Rancho Jesus Maria or San Ysidro Ajajolojol, was a land grant made to José López in 1836 by interim Governor Nicolas Gutierrez.

Location
It covered 26,019.53 acres in what is now San Isidro in the Tijuana Municipality of Baja California, Mexico 14 miles east of Tijuana, and 9 miles west of Tecate along the northern tributaries of the Tijuana River near the United States boundary in Baja California Territory.

The property of Rancho San Isidro Ajajolojol, lies at an elevation of , bounded on the west by the mountains dividing it from Rancho Tijuana.

History
In 1822, José López and his brother requested a concession for the Rancho San Ysidro Ajolojol, east of what later became Rancho Tía Juana.  This ranch was reported in 1828 to be a stock range.  José Lopez was the son of Ignacio Lopez a soldier at the San Diego Presidio. With his father and his brother Juan Bautista Lopez, Jose Lopez participated in Pio Pico's revolt against Governor Manuel Victoria, opponent of secularizing the missions, in 1831.

Like many ranchos east of San Diego it was attacked by the Kumeyaay in 1837 and abandoned for a time requiring a new grant to be made later. It was formally granted to Juan Ignacio Lopez on June 11, 1840, as Rancho Toljol.  The Expediente for Rancho Joljol successfully submitted, formal title to the grant was recorded on July 12, 1840, however it was strangely recorded as Toljol.

Gold was found at the ranch in 1851 and subsequently mined there.  Its grant title was confirmed by the Mexican Government in 1861 and it is still in existence.

The 1964 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 3, 1964 to select six Representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina.  The primary elections were held on June 9 and the runoff elections were held two weeks later on June 23.  All five incumbents who ran were re-elected and the open seat in the 5th congressional district was retained by the Democrats.  The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic.

1st congressional district
Incumbent Democratic Congressman L. Mendel Rivers of the 1st congressional district, in office since 1941, was unopposed in his bid for re-election.
