title: Zakia Hussein

text:
Zakia Hussein (, ), also known as Zakia Hussein Ahmed, is a Somali politician who has made significant strides in the country's security forces, becoming a role model for women across Somalia. Zakia Hussein hails from the Surre sub-division of the wider Dir clan.

Early life

Zakia Hussein was born on February 5, 1984, in Mogadishu, Somalia. Her father Hussein Ahmed was a doctor who became the private physician of the then President of Somalia,   Siyad Barre, while her mother served as a senior officer at the Somalia Bank of Commerce while studying for her Master's degree in Business Management.

Hussein's family fled Somalia's civil war when she was six years old, eventually settling in Sweden. She spent most of her childhood and compulsory education in Sweden before moving to the United Kingdom at the age of 22.

Career in the UK

Hussein studied international relations and diplomacy at London Metropolitan University, where she became involved in activism and advocacy, particularly for her native Somali community. While at university in London, Hussein became an active member of the Islamic Society and eventually became its Vice-President, tackling Islamophobia at a time when it was rampant. She also joined the Hanoolaato movement, a diaspora-led sociopolitical organization that advocates for peace and development in Somalia. She joined the Anti Tribalism Movement and hosted Somali language talk show called the Hooyo Talkshow in Somalia London Radio. In addition, she joined Hanoolaato and became a prominent voice within the Somali community in London.

Police Career in Somalia

In 2012, Zakia Hussein relocated to Somalia and began working as a program manager at the Heritage Institute think-tank in Mogadishu. She soon joined the Somali Police Force as the Director of Community Policing in 2014, becoming the first female to ever be appointed as a departmental director in the force. She also served as head of policy planning and in charge of designing and overseeing the implementation of the National Intelligence & Security Agency's intelligence and institutional reform policy.

During her tenure in the police force, Hussein survived two assassination attempts and faced deep-rooted sexism and condescension in the male-dominated institution. However, she persevered and in 2018, she was promoted to Brigadier General and appointed as the Deputy Police Commissioner, becoming the first female to reach both milestones in the history of Somalia's security forces. She continued to push for institutional reform and public-police relations, using her position to bring the public and the security agencies closer together. In 2021, she established the first all-female armed special forces unit in Somalia, further demonstrating her commitment to empowering women in the country.

Challenges and achievements

Zakia Hussein worked to build public trust in the police force following allegations of abuse, corruption, rape, and exploitation. She has also fought deeply rooted stereotypes against women in Somalia, becoming a role model for women in the force and the entire female population of Somalia.

Zakia Hussein Ahmed has become a trailblazer for women in Somalia's security forces, breaking down barriers and advocating for institutional reform and public-police relations. Her dedication to serving her country has inspired many and cemented her place as a role model for women across Somalia.

title: Brett Morgen

text:
Brett D. Morgen (born October 11, 1968) is an American documentary filmmaker. His directorial credits include The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002), Crossfire Hurricane (2012), Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015), Jane (2017), and Moonage Daydream (2022).

Early life
Morgen was born October 11, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. He was named after USC football lineman Britt Williams, who was team captain in 1961, but his parents misspelled the name. He was raised in the San Fernando Valley, primarily in Studio City, where his father worked as a high school physical education teacher. According to Morgen, he was an avid movie fan from a young age, and knew he wanted to be a filmmaker. He attended the Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California.

Morgen attended Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he earned a B.A. in history in 1987, before graduating with an MFA in filmmaking from New York University in 1991.

Career
Morgen made Ollie's Army while a student at New York University. The film focuses on the exploits of the James Madison University College Republicans during Oliver North's senatorial campaign of 1994.

On the Ropes was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000 for Best Documentary.  The boxing documentary was directed by Morgen and Nanette Burstein, and examined the lives of three aspiring prizefighters and their coach.  The film won Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary by the Directors Guild of America.

The Kid Stays in the Picture is a documentary biopic about film producer Robert Evans, focusing on his major hits, like The Godfather, and his tumultuous personal life.  Once again, Morgen teamed with Nanette Burstein.

Chicago 10 is a film about the Chicago Eight.  The film uses animation and celebrity voice-overs from Hank Azaria, Dylan Baker, Nick Nolte, Mark Ruffalo, Roy Scheider, Liev Schreiber, James Urbaniak, and Jeffrey Wright.

June 17th, 1994 aired on ESPN as an episode of 30 for 30 and featured on-air commentary by Morgen.  It was the only 30 for 30 episode to date that included no interviews or voice-overs, consisting solely of the actual TV footage on June 17, 1994.  This was the date of the O. J. Simpson slow-moving police chase, and the other important sports stories of that day that were mostly ignored, due to the American public's fascination with Simpson.

Next, Morgan directed Crossfire Hurricane (2012), a documentary on The Rolling Stones, followed by the Kurt Cobain documentary film Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015). His next film was Jane (2017), which follows the life of primatologist Jane Goodall, produced by National Geographic.

Morgen began working on the David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream in 2017. The film was released theatrically in 2022 after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.

Personal life
Morgen is married to filmmaker Debra Eisenstadt, with whom he has three children: Sky, Max and Jasper.

On January 5, 2017, while working on the film Moonage Daydream, Morgen suffered a near-fatal heart attack and flatlined three times while receiving medical care. The heart attack resulted in Morgen being in a coma for a week, but he survived. In a 2022 interview, Morgen attributed his heart attack to years of smoking, stress, and lack of exercise.

title: Meribah, South Australia

text:
Meribah is a small settlement in the Brown's Well district of the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, not far from the border with Victoria. It was the original terminus of the Barmera railway line from May 7, 1913, until the line was extended to Paringa later the same year. It is about 70 km north of Pinnaroo and 45 km southeast of Loxton.

The town was surveyed in July 1914 and named for a Biblical place where Moses struck the rocks causing water to gush forth.

The post office opened in March 1916 and closed in June 1985.

title: S Vulpeculae

text:
S Vulpeculae is a variable star located in the constellation Vulpecula. A supergiant star, it is around 382 times the diameter of the Sun.

S Vulpeculae was first suspected of varying in brightness in 1836 and this was confirmed by 1862. A pulsating variable that grows and shrinks as it changes in brightness, it has been variously classified as an RV Tauri variable, a semiregular variable star, or a Cepheid variable.

S Vulpeculae is now confirmed as a classical Cepheid variable with one of the longest known periods at 68 days, although the period has changed several times.  As such, it is also one of the cooler and more luminous of the Cepheids, and it lies close to the zone where semiregular variable stars are found.  The shape and amplitude of the light curve varies significantly from cycle to cycle and secularly.  The apparent magnitude ranges from 8.69 to 9.42.  The spectrum varies from early G to late K as it pulsates, with TiO bands typical of an M1 star when the star is coolest.

title: Virginia Bourbon del Monte

text:
Donna Virginia Bourbon del Monte dei principi di San Faustino (24 May 1899 – 30 November 1945) was the wife of Edoardo Agnelli and the mother of Gianni Agnelli.

Biography
Born in Rome, she was the daughter of Carlo Bourbon del Monte, Prince di San Faustino (1867–1917), a descendant of an ancient Tuscan-Umbrian family, with a noble title awarded by Pope Pius IX in 1861. Her brother Ranieri Bourbon del Monte Santa Maria, Prince of San Faustino, was the first husband of painter Kay Sage. Her mother was the American heiress Jane Allen Campbell (1865–1938); originally from New Jersey, she was the daughter of a wealthy American linseed oil trader, the son of Ludlow D. Campbell, George W. Campbell, and his second wife, Virginia Watson. After Campbell's death, which took place in the first half of the 1890s, the widow moved with her daughter to Rome, where the young Campbell  met and married Carlo Bourbon del Monte in 1897. On 5 June 1919, she married Edoardo Agnelli, the son of senator and Fiat co-founder Giovanni Agnelli. She became a widow on 14 July 1935, as her husband died in a plane crash in the seadrome of Genoa.

A few months after the death of her husband, she engaged in an intimate relationship with the journalist and writer Curzio Malaparte. Their wedding ceremony, which was originally scheduled for October 1936, did not take place due to the opposition of her father-in-law. Moreover, Curzio had become unpopular among the highest authorities of Benito Mussolini's Italian fascist regime. As a consequence, Curzio had been expelled from the National Fascist Party (PNF) and forced into exile on the island of Lipari for a certain period of time in 1933. Meanwhile, she had to face a tough confrontation with her father-in-law, who tried to claim parental authority over her seven children by all means after finding out that the two lovers were about to get married. In deliberating on this issue, the Court of Turin pronounced a verdict against the mother. The dispute went on with several legal actions until she decided to move to Rome. Since there were better chances for her of being favoured by the judicial authorities of Rome, her father-in-law finally gave his consent to negotiate a compromise agreement by the end of 1937. Its most important aspect was the granting of child custody to Virginia; this settlement was the one supported by her children themselves.

She was arrested in Rome on 8 September 1943, since she was the daughter of a U.S. citizen, a country at that time at war against Nazi Germany, and confined in a villa on the Caelian Hill, from which she was then able to escape. After coming back to Rome as a free person, in collaboration with Colonel Eugen Dollmann, she arranged a meeting in Vatican City between Pope Pius XII and General Karl Wolff. The latter was the Military Governor and the Supreme Commander of the SS and of the police in Northern Italy. The meeting was intended to avoid bloodshed during the imminent German retreat from Rome. It was successful, and led to the release from prison of Giuliano Vassalli, a jurist and member of the Italian Resistance, who had been held in detention by the SS in their headquarters in the German Embassy on 145 via Tasso.

She died in a car accident near Pisa in the late afternoon of 30 November 1945, fifteen days before the death of her father-in-law, after the car in which she was traveling on its way from Rome to Forte dei Marmi was hit head-on by a heavy truck of the U.S. Army. She died instantly. The fatal crash occurred on the via Aurelia in proximity to the pine forest of San Rossore.

title: SV Vulpeculae

text:
SV Vulpeculae is a classical Cepheid (δ Cepheid) variable star in the constellation Vulpecula.  It is a supergiant at a distance of 8,700 light years.

SV Vulpeculae is a δ Cepheid variable whose visual apparent magnitude ranges from 6.72 to 7.79 over 45.0121 days.  The light curve is highly asymmetric, with the rise from minimum to maximum taking more less than a third of the time for the fall from maximum to minimum.  The period has been decreasing on average by 214 seconds/year.

SV Vulpeculae is a yellow bright supergiant around twenty thousand times as luminous as the sun, with a spectral type that varies from late F to early K.  It pulsates and varies in temperature from below 5,000 K to above 6,000 K.  The radius is  at maximum, and varies from  to  as the star pulsates.

The mass of SV Vulpeculae is now near , and is estimated to have been about  when it was on the main sequence.  The rate of change of the period and the atmospheric abundances show that the star is crossing the instability strip for the second time.  The first instability strip crossing occurs rapidly during the transition from the main sequence to becoming a red supergiant.  The second crossing occurs during core helium burning when the star executes a blue loop, becoming hotter for a time before returning to the red supergiant stage.

title: Miller Creek (Sixtymile River tributary)

text:
Miller Creek is a stream in Yukon, Canada.

Geography
The length of Miller Creek from its junction with Sixtymile River, a tributary of the Yukon River, is about , and its course is nearly straight. The gradient of its bed is considerable, as is the case with all other streams in this region, and this gradient increases slightly toward the head of the creek. At the extreme head, the slope becomes very steep, the angle nearly corresponding with that of the sides of the valley farther down. In general the valley is V-shaped, but at the head it widens and shows a tendency to assume a more curved, or U-shaped, outline in cross-section, thus suggesting a glacial amphitheater or cirque. It is indeed probably to ice action that this broadening and flattening is due. In the winter ice and snow accumulate and have a tendency to move from the dividing ridge down the steep slopes which the rapidly cutting stream has left. During the spring months, when the ice is softening and melting, the head of the valley is occupied by a veritable though small and transient glacier. The rounding of the head of the valley and its gradual alteration into the form of a cirque is due in part to the moving of the ice, but perhaps more largely to the erosion of the glacial waters, which are distributed over the whole width of the valley instead of being concentrated in its bottom, as are the streams that have no dependence upon ice. As the ice melts, great furrows and ditches are formed on the glacier, and the water flowing from these and falling over the ice front forms waterfalls which churn up the gravel and carry it down the valley, so that the bed rock is often laid bare. As the front of the ice recedes, this vigorous erosion is brought to bear upon successively higher parts of the valley. This action was of economic importance, since it prevents accumulations of auriferous gravels within areas in which it operates—a fact which was proved by prospecting. Miller and Glacier creeks flow into Sixtymile. The drainage areas of Sixtymile and Fortymile rivers are separated by a ridge of moderate height, whose top is comparatively flat and forms part of the general plateau in which the streams have excavated their deep valleys in late geological time.

History
Miller Creek was first prospected immediately after the first discovery of gold in this region, which was about 1887, on Franklin Gulch. In 1898, it was reported that  few years earlier, it was the busiest spot on the Upper Yukon. In the winter of 1895-90 there were about 500 miners in this vicinity, mostly on Miller Creek, but in the spring more than half of that number left for the diggings on Birch Creek, so that the entire number of men working in the district at the time it was visited (in July, 1896) was only about 200. It is on Miller Creek, however, that the richest strike made at the time in the Yukon diggings was that by John Miiller, who cleared from one claim of 500 feet along the bed of the gulch a sum which was variously estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 as the result of the work of two winters and one summer.

Notable people
 Émilie Fortin Tremblay (1872-1949), one of the first white women to cross the Chilkoot on the way to the Yukon gold fields lived at Miller Creek.

title: I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down

text:
"I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" is a song written by Memphis-based songwriter Earl Randle, and first recorded in 1972 by soul singer Ann Peebles.  The song was also a hit in 1984 for English singer Paul Young.

Ann Peebles version
Produced by Willie Mitchell and with performances by the Hi Rhythm Section, Ann Peebles' recording was made at the Royal Studios on South Lauderdale Avenue in Memphis.  It was issued as a single on the Hi label in January 1973. It reached no.31 on the US R&B chart,  and "bubbled under" the Hot 100, reaching no.111.  The track was also included on her 1974 album I Can't Stand the Rain.

Writer Craig Werner said:Like the most powerful gospel soul from the early sixties, "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" serves notice on a cheating lover (white America?  the brothers in the Black Panther movement?) that the free ride has come to an end. It's a restatement of the revolutionary gospel anthem "Samson and Delilah," and the message, on every level, is the same: "If I had my way, I would tear this building down."

Later versions
 The song was later recorded by Graham Parker and the Rumour on their 1977 album Stick to Me.
 A cover version by Paul Young reached no. 9 on the UK singles chart in 1984, and no.13 on the Billboard Hot 100 when re-released the following year.  It was included on Young's album The Secret of Association (1985).

Samples
 The Ann Peebles' version of "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" was sampled in the track "The Plan" by Wu-Tang Clan affiliated group Sunz of Man on their album The Last Shall Be First (1998).

title: The New Gentlemen

text:
Les Nouveaux Messieurs ("the new men") is a 1929 French silent film directed by Jacques Feyder. It is a satirical comedy, whose initial release in France was delayed for several months because of objections to its portrayal of the French parliament.

Cast
 Gaby Morlay as Suzanne Verrier
 Albert Préjean as Jacques Gaillac
 Henry Roussell as the Comte de Montoire-Grandpré

Plot
Suzanne Verrier, a dancer of mediocre talent at the Paris Opéra, is the mistress of an elderly aristocrat and conservative politician, the Comte de Montoire-Grandpré, who uses his influence to assist her career. She begins a romance with Jacques Gaillac, a young, left-wing electrician who is also a committed union organiser.  Gaillac is elected to Parliament and become a minister, leaving him little time for his relationship with Suzanne. When the leftist government abruptly falls, Montoire-Grandpré's party returns to power, and he arranges to have Gaillac appointed to a post abroad. Suzanne reluctantly returns to the protection of Montoire-Grandpré.

Production
The success of Jacques Feyder's adaptation of Thérèse Raquin brought him an invitation from MGM to work in Hollywood, but before he left, he agreed to one further film in France for Alexandre Kamenka's Albatros company which was in economic difficulties.  Feyder was offered complete artistic freedom on the project and chose to adapt a recent stage comedy which combined romantic drama with political satire.

Les Nouveaux Messieurs by Robert de Flers and Francis de Croisset had opened in Paris in February 1925, with Gaby Morlay in the leading role, and it became the biggest success of the season, running for over 500 performances. Feyder and Charles Spaak made an adaptation which sought to dispense with the verbal humour of the play but to translate it into visual terms. The film uses relatively few intertitles and those are employed mainly to convey information. A number of technical devices are used (superimposition of images, "flous" or blurring of the image, undercranking or speeded-up motion) often to achieve comic effect. In one scene the delegates in parliament are arranged in a semicircle, and on them is superimposed a translucent filter which recedes like a fan closing, which is used to signify that more and more of the delegates are agreeing with the speaker.

The production was filmed principally at the Billancourt studios during the summer of 1928, and it features some elaborate set designs by Lazare Meerson (including a reconstruction of the Chambre des Deputés, a stylish Parisian town house, and rehearsal areas at the Opéra).  One of the assistant cameramen working with Georges Périnal was the 22-year-old Marcel Carné.

Reception
The film was ready for a press screening at the end of November 1928 and it met with a mainly favourable reaction from the critics. One review commented that it was a likable satire of the world of politics which was so amusing that nobody could take offense at it.

However members of the government rapidly became anxious about the film, not so much because of its satire which was actually more restrained than the successful stage play had been, but rather for its portrayal of the Parliament. Some politicians felt that their fictional equivalents were made up to resemble them rather too realistically; and in one scene a député falls asleep during a debate in the Chamber and dreams happily that the other members have all been transformed into ballerinas in tutus. In this climate of controversy before the end of December the film was refused a distribution licence, for "damaging the dignity of Parliament and ministers".

By this time Jacques Feyder had left France to take up his job in the United States, and protracted negotiation about the film's future continued for several months between the production company and the government. Eventually some cuts were agreed and the film was finally released in Paris in April 1929.  It enjoyed some success in France and was then distributed also in a number of European countries. (A Berlin newspaper voted it the best film of 1929.) However this success, limited also by the arrival of talking pictures, came too late to save the fortunes of the Albatros company which was forced to cease production.

A correspondent for The New York Times later in the year explained the persistent sensitivities in France: "The fall of the Briand Government last month perhaps gave an extra fillip, in the mind of Paris, to 'Les Nouveau Messieurs', since the story concerns the collapse of a Cabinet and the substitution of an extreme Radical Ministry. At the houses where it is showing now a careful foreword is thrown on the screen, asserting that no characters are drawn from life and even explaining that the interior of the Chamber of Deputies, where some of the drama and much of the comedy of the picture occur, was constructed at the Feyder studios."

He went on to give a warm appraisal of the film's qualities: "Any audience might find the film amusing, but it is so Parisian and so appropriate to these recent days of political crisis here that it is having an exceptional welcome.... With this story actors and director have done remarkably well. It is brightly told and excellently filmed. The photography is modernistic in tone, but always successfully so.... Gaby Morlay, rowdy and dainty by turn, serious and merry, has a picture well to her taste and capacities, which are infinite."

title: Magdalena Eriksson

text:
Magdalena Lilly Eriksson (also Ericsson, born 8 September 1993) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays for Frauen-Bundesliga side Bayern Munich and the Sweden national team. Primarily a centre-back, she can also play as a left-back.

At the beginning of her professional career, Eriksson played for the Stockholm clubs Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF until she moved to Linköpings FC in 2013, where she won two cup titles and the league title in 2016 during her five years at the club.

In 2017, Eriksson moved to England and signed for Chelsea in the Women's Super League (WSL). There, she established herself as one of the best central defenders in the league and was named team captain in 2019. With Chelsea, she won five WSL titles, and also reached the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League in the 2020–21 season. In 2020, she was named Swedish Footballer of the Year.

Eriksson, like her partner Pernille Harder, is also known for her LGBTQ+ advocacy and LGBTQ+ rights in sport.

Club career
Eriksson began her football career with local team Enskede IK, but was encouraged by her father to join Hammarby IF in order to improve her game. Aged 17, she broke into Hammarby's first team in the 2011 Damallsvenskan season and made her debut against Umeå IK.

In November 2011, Eriksson left relegated Hammarby for their Stockholm rivals Djurgårdens IF. After scoring one goal in 19 appearances in the 2012 Damallsvenskan, she left Djurgårdens, who were facing relegation, and joined Linköpings FC.

In July 2017, after almost five years with Linköpings FC, Eriksson signed a two-year contract with Women's Super League team Chelsea Ladies. In August 2018, she extended her contract until 2021, and eventually became the team's captain in 2019. She extended her contract once again in November 2020, this time until 2023. On 9 December 2020, Eriksson made her 100th appearance for Chelsea in a 5–0 Champions League win over Benfica.

For her performance over the years, and especially after Chelsea's WSL title-winning 2020–21 season, Eriksson was hailed as one of the best defenders in Europe. After six years with Chelsea, for whom she made over 180 appearances and won over 10 trophies, Eriksson left the club at the end of the 2022–23 season along with her partner Pernille Harder.

On 1 June 2023, Eriksson and Harder were unveiled as a new players of Frauen-Bundesliga club Bayern Munich, signing a three-year contracts.

International career
As a Swedish under-19 international, Eriksson was part of the victorious squad at the 2012 U-19 European Championship. In November 2013, national team coach Pia Sundhage called her to a senior squad training camp at Bosön. Eriksson made her debut for the senior Sweden team in a 3–0 friendly defeat by France in Amiens on 8 February 2014. She was part of the Swedish squad that won silver at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Eriksson has since represented Sweden at every major tournament, namely UEFA Women's Euro 2017, 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, 2020 Summer Olympics, UEFA Women's Euro 2022, and 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. At the 2020 Olympics, she won the silver medal after Sweden lost to Canada in the final on penalties.

Personal life
Eriksson's mother is of Finnish descent. She is openly lesbian and, since 2014, in a relationship with Danish international Pernille Harder. She and Harder work with the charity Common Goal and pledged 1% of their salaries to help tackle social issues throughout football. The couple also both push for equality and LGBTQ+ rights in sport.

During her upbringing, she assumed her last name was spelled with a C because that was how her father spelled it. When she was 17 and looked in her passport she realised it was actually spelled with a K. As such, her last name is often misspelled as "Ericsson" rather than the correct "Eriksson".

Eriksson has a bachelor's degree in political science and took a course in feminist theory and intersectional power analysis.

title: Henry Fownes Luttrell (died 1780)

text:
Henry Fownes Luttrell (born Henry Fownes;  1722 – 30 October 1780), of Dunster Castle, Somerset, was High Sheriff of Somerset from 1754 to 1755 and a Member of Parliament for the borough of Minehead from 1768 to 1774.

Fownes was the son of John Fownes of Nethway and Kittery Court, near Dartmouth, and led the life of a country squire. In 1747, he married Margaret Luttrell, the heiress of Dunster Castle and added his wife's name to his own to comply with her late father's will. In accordance with the era's laws concerning the property rights of married women, on his marriage he became the legal owner of his wife's property, including not only Dunster Castle, but also the lordships of the manors of Dunster, Heathfield, and Kilton amongst others. The newly named Fownes Luttrell altered the castle considerably, remodelling its interior and park and building the Conygar Tower, a folly in the grounds. Following the death of his wife in 1766 he remarried in 1771.

When Fownes Luttrell's candidate for the 1754 election was defeated, he realised that his estate bought him relatively little political power. Frustrated, he set about nursing his interest in the borough. Later, a compromise with a rival landowner placed one of the borough's two parliamentary seats in his pocket. He stood for election in 1768 and was returned with the support of the Government. He was returned again in 1774 alongside his eldest son, John; the Prime Minister was disgruntled that he had not returned his own favoured candidate and Fownes Luttrell resigned on the condition that the Government's candidate would not interfere in the future without his permission. Thenceforth until abolition by the Reform Act of 1832 the borough's parliamentary seats were effectively controlled by his family.

Fownes Luttrell was an inactive politician and is not known to have spoken or voted in Parliament during the six years he was a member. Instead, he led the life of a country squire, hunting and managing his estates. Fownes Luttrell died in 1780, and his eldest son succeeded to his estates.

Origins
Henry Fownes was born about 1722 or 1723, the eldest son of John Fownes (died 1733) of Kittery Court, Kingswear, Devon, a Member of Parliament for Dartmouth, by his wife Anne Maddock, a daughter of Samuel Maddock of Tamerton Foliot. His grandfather was John Fownes (1661-1731) of Kittery Court in the parish of Kingswear and of Nethway in the parish of Brixham, both in Devon, a Member of Parliament for Dartmouth, Devon, in 1713–14. The first of his ancestors to settle in Devon was Thomas Fones (died 1638) of Plymouth in Devon, a merchant who served as Mayor of Plymouth in 1619, whose ancestors were from Bromsgrove in Worcestershire and in 1539 had acquired Dodford Priory shortly after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Marriages and issue

He married twice:
Firstly on 16 February 1747, to his second cousin Margaret Luttrell (7 February 1726 – 1766), the daughter and heiress of Alexander Luttrell (1705–1737), MP, whose family had owned Dunster Castle since 1376, by his wife Margaret Trevelyan, daughter of Sir John Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet of Nettlecombe, Somerset. According to Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte, the historian of Dunster Castle,  "the union proved exceptionally happy and her letters to her husband ... are conceived in the spirit of the sincerest affection." Following his marriage and inheritance not only was he required under the bequest to add to his surname but was also compelled to spend six months of each year at Dunster Castle. By his wife he had six sons and four daughters. Of these, several died as infants:  Alexander (born and died in 1749), Anne (born and died 1750), Anne (born and died 1751), and Anne (born and died 1758). The surviving issue were as follows:
 Lieutenant-Colonel John Fownes Luttrell (1752–1816). He was a member of parliament for Minehead from 1774 to 1806 and again from 1807 to 1816.
Rev. Alexander Luttrell (baptised 1754; died 1816). He was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and took holy orders; in 1807, he married Lucy Gatchell.
Francis Fownes Luttrell (1756–1823). He sat as a member of parliament for Minehead from 1780 to 1783 and went on to be Chair of the Board of Customs from 1813 to 1819.
Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Fownes Luttrell (1763–1811). He was an army officer and sat as a member of parliament for Minehead from 1795 to 1796.
Lieutenant Henry Fownes Luttrell (1753–77), an officer in the Royal Horse Guards, died unmarried
Margaret Fownes Luttrell (1747–92) who in 1769 married John Henry Southcote of Buckland Toutsaints, Devon, and sat for a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds that year.
Secondly in 1771, five years after the death of his first wife, he married Frances Bradley (d.1803), a daughter of Samuel Bradley of Dunster.

Career
He matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford, in 1741, but did not take a degree.

Country squire
Margaret Luttrell's father died in 1737, when she was eleven, and she inherited the position. Her father left debts due to his lifestyle and also provisions in his parents' wills that forced him to support his niece, Anne Luttrell, a daughter of Francis, his brother.  This situation caused the family seat at Dunster Castle to be closed and valued, while much of the family silver now in her possession was sold off, in some cases to relatives. Margaret Luttrell went to live with her mother's new husband, Edward Dyke of Tetton, a wealthy landowner. While there, she married Fownes, who was then a resident of Nethway, Devon.

To improve his wife's estate, Fownes Luttrell obtained a sanction from the Court of Chancery to sell the manors of Heathfield and Kilton but found no buyers; he subsequently attempted to sell the manor of Minehead, and also offered at least one of the Parliamentary seats for the Borough of Minehead for £30,000, but there were no serious bidders, largely due to the high prices and the fact that Fownes Luttrell had in fact not inherited much control over the seats he was putting up for sale. However, frugal spending helped to recover the estate and Fownes Luttrell invested in 1760 in the manor of Foremarsh, near Dunster, which he purchased from John Poyntz. He went on to buy the manor of Staunton Fry in 1777 and a number of tenements in Dunster. In leisure, he particularly enjoyed hunting, keeping hounds and horses, and cockfighting.

Dunster Castle

Beginning in 1747, Fownes Luttrell made numerous and significant alterations to Dunster Castle, redecorating and redesigning it in the Rococo style. He renovated the Great Parlour, converted a bedroom over it into a Drawing Room in 1758, created a Breakfast Room over the Hall in 1772, remodelled the southern part of the castle, and altered the Great Staircase in 1773. His changes to the décor of the castle are also noteworthy, particularly for his use of newly-fashionable wallpaper.

Further alterations were made by Fownes Luttrell to the castle grounds. He created the park there and constructed Conygar Tower. The latter was commissioned in 1775 and was designed as a decorative folly to improve the views from the castle; he also built a gatehouse and a statue of Neptune in Conygar wood at a similar time, while commissioning the reconstruction of Dunster Water Mill and the adjacent bridge, which were rebuilt from 1779 to 1780. In 1764, the Lower Ward of the Castle was reduced to one level, while several adjoining walls were removed and the road passing through the gateway was covered over. Additionally, his  park was built south of the castle, and required the eviction of a number of tenant farmers.

Member of Parliament
Being Lord of the Manor of Minehead theoretically gave Fownes Luttrell a "Natural Interest" in elections to Parliament for the borough—i.e. the power to influence the votes of its householders. However, the Luttrells had let it slip out of their control and Fownes Luttrell was being warned by his estate's agent, John St. Albyn, in 1747 that "you do not appear sure of more than one quarter of the vote, and it may happen too that of even one quarter of them some will fail you". At the British General Election of 1754, Fownes Luttrell was serving as High Sheriff of Somerset, which barred him from standing as a candidate to be a member of parliament; however Henry Shiffner, a merchant from London, approached him and offered himself as a candidate for the borough in his place.

As St. Albyn had warned, Shiffner was not returned as a Member; instead, Lord Egremont, a local landowner, offered considerable financial support to his own candidate, Daniel Boone, while one of the incumbent MPs, Charles Whitworth, offered to sell parts of his estate to loyal supporters. An intervention from the Duke of Newcastle, at Egremont's request, led to Boone and Whitworth forming an alliance against Fownes Luttrell. Shiffner petitioned Parliament and was supported by an angered Fownes Luttrell, but Egremont and Fownes Luttrell eventually agreed a truce and by 1757 had agreed to return a member each and oppose any third candidates. Reluctant to stand himself, Fownes Luttrell supported Shiffner again. The pair would spend seven years dealing with the estate and consolidating his interest there; this, coupled with his arrangement with Egremont, meant that Shiffner was duly returned in 1761, alongside the first Earl of Thomond, brother of Egremont, beating an outsider, the Earl of Clanbrassill. During this Parliament, Fownes Luttrell entertained voters at Dunster Castle and in the village, where he laid on expensive feasts.

After his wife's death in 1766, Fownes Luttrell decided to stand at the general election in 1768. Despite his efforts to build up support, there were still factions and opposition to him. To gain some form of patronage in Minehead, he travelled to London and obtained from the Government control over the offices in Minehead, which prevented his opponents from doing the same. Fownes Luttrell won that election, accumulating more than £1,800 worth of expenses in the process. While a member of parliament, he is not recorded as speaking and does not appear in the small number of division lists still surviving. According to Maxwell Lyte, "it does not appear that [he] had any real zest for Parliamentary life [and was] probably far happier with his hounds and his fighting cocks in Devon or Somerset." However, it appears that the Prime Minister, Lord North, believed that in return for the Government's support in 1768, Fownes Luttrell had promised to return the Government's candidate, Thomas Pownall, at the next election; when that time came, in 1774, North supported Fownes Luttrell and "warned off" his rival, Charles Whitworth. However, Fownes Luttrell was elected alongside his eldest son, John, which caused a dispute between the former and North. The dispute was resolved when the elder Fownes Luttrell offered to resign that December, in favour of Pownall, on the condition that Pownall seek his approval before nominating any of his friends or himself in future; a draft document outlining his other conditions included a payment of £3,000 in return for his resignation.

Despite resigning, Fownes Luttrell had asserted his influence and control over both seats and, in 1780 his son Francis was elected alongside John Fownes Luttrell, who remained one of the MPs until 1806 and went on to sit again from 1807 to 1816; his other son, Thomas, and John's son (also called John) were also elected subsequently.

Death
Henry Fownes Luttrell died on 30 October 1780.

title: Antioch Baptist Church (Montgomery, Alabama)

text:
The Antioch Baptist Church in Mount Meigs, Alabama (an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Alabama) was founded in 1818 and is the first Baptist church in the county. Originally a rural white church, from 1849 until the Civil War it was a biracial church; since then, the church has moved and has become an African-American church. The old church site now has only a graveyard, the Antioch Cemetery.

History

Antioch Baptist Church was founded by James McLemore, who also founded the Elam and Bethel Baptist churches in Montgomery county. Antioch's first church building was located on Atlanta Highway, east of Montgomery, on land donated by a Mr. Billy Wright. With the churches of Old Elam (also called Elim), Bethel, and Rehoboth, it formed a coalition which in 1819 founded the Alabama Baptist Association.

McLemore's associate preacher was an African-American slave, Caesar Blackwell, who had been bought by the ABA for $625 to preach to a mixed (black and white, slave and free) congregation. Blackwell's wife and child were owned by McLemore; apparently, Blackwell was a gifted preacher who could draw a mixed crowd and until 1835 was allowed to keep the income he generated from his preaching.

Besides McLemore, Fielding Bradshaw was a pastor in its early days. By 1839 it had 132 members. Though the church was a white rural church, in 1849 it accepted around forty black members, through baptism, and the next year sixteen more. Around that time the white members left but kept the property, leaving a white pastor (A. T. M. Handy) in charge. Handy ordained seven colored deacons in 1854. Until the Civil War the church was biracial; after the war (and in contrast to what happened in many other congregations) the white members left, leaving a black congregation; Antioch remains a black church. The first black pastor was ordained around 1882.

New church building
A new church was built in 1919, on the corner of Gibbs Road and Antioch Lane, still in Mount Meigs. The old church no longer stands, and the cemetery, though still in use, is suffering from neglect, with undocumented burials possibly taking place. Many graves are unmarked; others are overgrown or have fallen in. According to FindAGrave.com, there are some 380 graves, with 55 burials performed between 2010 and 2014.

The church was severely damaged by a storm in the 1930s, after which it was rebuilt and bricked. Another renovation was done in the 1980s, and in 1999 a new sanctuary was added, completing extensive renovations which also added classrooms and a nursery.

title: Barnes Hall, South Yorkshire

text:
Barnes Hall is an English country house near Burncross within the City of Sheffield in England. The estate includes the buildings of the adjacent Barnes Hall farm.

History

Original hall
The present Barnes Hall was built in 1824, but there has been a building on the site since at least the reign of Edward III (1327-1377) when it appeared in a roll of dependencies of the Manor of Sheffield and was known as Manerium de Bernes. The first known occupants of the building were the Barnes family who lived there in the 13th and 14th centuries. The estate then passed by marriage to the Bromley family who sold it to Robert Shatton in 1442. Shatton sold the hall in 1477 for £140 to Thomas Rotherham who served as Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor during his lifetime. Rotherham was also known as named 'Scot' but he took the name of his birthplace Rotherham as his surname. He came from a family with long term connections with the Parish of Ecclesfield, and owned the hall until his death from Bubonic plague on 29 May 1500, aged 76.

After the death of Thomas Rotherham the hall eventually passed to his brother George Scott, there then followed several generations of Scott's who transformed Barnes Hall into one of the finest gentry houses in Ecclesfield parish. During the 16th and 17th century the adjacent Barnes Hall farm was built and developed 200 metres to the north as arable farming became important to the estate. At this time, the main hall consisted of an open main room with a large gothic door and two storied cross wings in a late medieval style. The last of the line of Scotts was Sir Richard Scott who died in Ireland on 17 July 1638, aged 55 while acting as one of the deputies of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford. Sir Richard who has a fine alabaster memorial in Ecclesfield church, left money in his will to build the nearby Barnes Hall Hospital, a set of tenements for six poor people. The hall itself was left to his half brother Richard Watts whose descendants held it until December 1823 when it was bought by William Smith of Cowley Manor in Ecclesfield.

New hall is built
William Smith was a local solicitor, landowner and owner of the Smith and Redfern brewery, he demolished the old hall and constructed the present hall in 1824, at this time the business side of the estate moved towards mixed farming with some of the barns being adapted for the use of animals. The new hall was built from sandstone blocks with a Welsh slate roof. It has five bays with an open semicircular stone front porch with two Doric columns. The majority of the windows are sashes. In the latter part of the 19th century a south facing wing was added. The Smith family remained at Barnes Hall until 1956 when the last of the family line Colonel William Mckenzie Smith died. The estate was broken up at this time and the Smith's tenant farmer Byron Shaw purchased Barnes Hall Farm.

In 2013 the buildings of Barnes Hall farm were purchased by the Open House Project who aim to convert the farm buildings into a series of dwellings.

Listed status
The main hall is a Grade II listed building and has been so since August 1985, the dovecote which stands 75 metres to the north and dates from 1740 is also listed as is the cartshed which dates from around 1820. In February 2013, the north and west barns of Barnes Hall farm were designated as Grade II listed buildings.

Born at Leeds on 27 February 1855, he was third son, in a family of three sons and two daughters, of Joseph Haigh, a chemist, by his wife Lydia, daughter of Charles James Duncan. He was educated at Leeds grammar school, and on 22 October 1874 matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford with a scholarship. As an undergraduate, he took a first class in classical moderations in 1875 and in literæ humaniores in 1878; he won the two Gaisford prizes for Greek verse (1876) and Greek prose (1877), the Craven scholarship (1879), and the Stanhope essay prize on the topic  Political Theories of Dante (1878). He speeches at the Oxford Union on the liberal side, and he rowed in the Corpus Christi eight.

On graduating B.A. in 1878 (M.A. 1881) Haigh was elected to a fellowship at Hertford College, which he held till 1886. He became classical lecturer at Corpus Christi also in 1878, and for the next twenty-seven years taught there and at other colleges. In 1901 he was admitted fellow of Corpus, and was appointed senior tutor the following year. He was classical moderator in 1888–9, and again in 1897–8. He laid more stress than most Oxford tutors of his time on verbal accuracy and the need for close textual study.

Haigh died at his residence in the Parks at Oxford on 20 December 1905, and was buried in Holywell churchyard.

Works
Haigh collaborated with Thomas Leslie Papillon in an edition of Virgil (1892). He also published The Attic Theatre (1889) and The Tragic Drama of the Greeks (1896).

Family
In August 1886 Haigh married Matilda Forth, daughter of Jeremiah Giles Pilcher. She predeceased him in July 1904, leaving four children. Of the sons, Charles Roderick, elder brother of Arthur Duncan, was killed on 7 November 1914 in the First Battle of Ypres
