title: 10 Million People

text:
"10 Million People" is a 2014 song by British recording artist Example. It was released by Epic Records on 5 October 2014 as the fourth single from his fifth studio album, Live Life Living (2014). The song is written and produced by Example, Fraser T Smith and Alf Bamford.

Background and release
In early June 2014, Example intended to release "Seen You" as the album's fourth single. On 30 June, however, he stated that the fourth single would be "10 Million People". The EP features remixes from Kove, Critikal, Static Revenger, Mike Millrain and Eli & Fur as well as the album version of the song. The Kove remix was uploaded to UKF Music on 16 August.

Example has said that "'10 Million People' was written after watching a documentary on early 90s rave culture. I found this video online where they were interviewing people at an illegal rave. The guy with the microphone said to one of the revellers, 'Surely this whole rave thing is just a fad'. And the raver replied, 'Well 10 million people can't be wrong'." He also stated that the song feels "timeless" to him and is his favorite song on the album.

Music video
The singer confirmed on his Twitter page that the music video was filmed during his performance on the 2014 FIB Festival, hosted in Benicássim on 19 July. He uploaded the video onto his VEVO channel on 27 August 2014.

title: Faith Connors

text:
Faith Connors, also known by her alias Phoenix Carpenter, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the 2008 action video game Mirror's Edge. Presented in the game as a "Runner", Faith transports items for revolutionary groups hiding from the totalitarian government. In addition to the game, Faith also starred in its comic tie-in, and appears in the game's reboot, Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Her voice is provided by Jules de Jongh in Mirror's Edge with her voice clips being re-used in the side-games Mirror's Edge 2D and Mirror's Edge (mobile). Faye Kingslee voices Faith in the main game reboot Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Developers placed the game in a first-person perspective partly to connect the player with the character. Faith's design was intended to appeal to both males and females, and balanced her edgy attitude with the game's clean, minimalist aesthetic.

The character received mostly positive reception from with much attention being given to her character design. She has been featured in many "top character" lists, and is well-received as a female character. However, some criticized her for some aspects such as her perceived lack of personality.

Character overview
Faith earns her living as a "Runner", a courier who carries physical communiqués around the city, her services retained by revolutionary groups who avoid communicating via highly monitored telephone and e-mail channels. Her face has a distinctive tattoo around her right eye, imitated by the game's logo. Faith's attitude towards the totalitarian government is rooted in her past; her parents were active in protest movements when she was young, campaigning to keep the city from shifting to the oppressive regime. Her mother was killed during the "November riots"—peaceful protests gone wrong—and Faith ran away from home when she was 16, living a thief's life on the city streets. Faith became a Runner after meeting Mercury (or Merc), a former Runner who now trains new hires, sources jobs for them, and provides them with intelligence and radio support while on the job.

Faith is usually seen wearing a black tank top with white stripes down the side, showing her arms and her tattoo. On her arm, she wears a black sweatband to cover her elbow and a red glove to symbolise herself. In Mirror's Edge Catalyst, her glove is red and black. She has short, straight black hair at around chin length; in Mirror's Edge Catalyst it is stylized so that it is longer in the front than the back. She wears white cargo pants with several large rubber bands above her pants on her calves and single-toed red running shoes without socks.

Creation and development
Before the developers made her the protagonist of the game, Faith was initially conceived as simply another "member of the gang". Jules de Jongh voices Faith in the game.

The character was designed to appeal to both women and men. Avoiding the cliché of "muscle freak" males and "well endowed" females, Faith was intended to be a "more grown-up, minimalist, and fashion orientated character". The developers wanted her to be, whilst attractive, not a "supermodel" and instead "approachable and far more real". Her appearance also reflected her own athleticism. Her bright red shoes and glove, as well as her tattooed body, is intended to demonstrate her "edgy" attitude. It was important, however, that the design conform to the game's clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Developers decided to set the game in first-person in order to connect the player to Faith rather than simply watching her, as well as to add the feel of "being in an action movie, instead of playing it". As a result, Faith's model is largely unseen in-game apart from in reflections, while cutscenes instead present her in a 2-D animated style. Producer Nick Channon felt this added a sense of "mystique" and helped make Mirror's Edge unique. Before the reflections were introduced, another producer John Riccitiello spoke out against the first-person perspective as he wished to be able to see Faith in-game, hence leading to their creation.

When redesigning Faith for the second game, developers began with her colour scheme: "the white, the red, the blacks". Her glove was kept, with the designers considering it an iconic part of her character. Once again, the design had to be "elegant, minimalistic", with "a certain attitude". The colours used for accenting were very deliberately placed. Her design had to reflect her own strength. In the upcoming game, they hoped to explore more of Faith's motives, noting how she tattooed her eye to make a point.

Appearances

Mirror's Edge games
Faith made her debut appearance in 2008's Mirror's Edge. Throughout the game, she is guided via a comm unit by a man codenamed 'Merc'. After delivering a package to Celeste, another Runner, Faith hears that her sister Kate, who is a cop, could be in trouble and rushes to find her, Faith finds Kate standing over the body of Robert Pope, a candidate for mayor. Kate refuses to leave with Faith and is arrested, while Faith finds a note saying "Icarus" in Pope's hand. She learns that Travis "Ropeburn" Burfield, Pope's head of security, may be involved with his murder from Jacknife, a former Runner. After meeting with Kate's superior officer, Lieutenant Miller, Faith heads to a meeting Ropeburn has scheduled, where he discovers her. Faith manages to win the fight by knocking him off the roof, and interrogates him as he hangs there. Before he can give any vital information, he is shot an unknown assassin making him fall to his death. She investigates the security firm helping the police force fight the Runner and discovers their work on "Project Icarus", a program designed to train their forces in parkour style to oppose the Runners. Faith finds Ropeburn's assassin and discovers she is actually Celeste, helping Icarus in order to ensure her own safety.

Faith ambushes the police convoy carrying the now convicted Kate to rescue her. She gives Kate her comms unit so that Merc may guide her to the hideout while she distracts the police. When Faith returns to the hideout, she finds Merc dying and Kate recaptured. As he dies, Merc tells Faith that Kate is at "the Shard", the place containing the servers running the city's surveillance systems. With Miller's help, Faith destroys these servers and reaches the building's roof, finding Kate held by Jacknife, who is part of Project Icarus and has been using Faith to discover loose ends. Jacknife tries to leave with Kate via a helicopter, though Faith jumps and kicks him out the helicopter causing it to crash and him to fall to his death. The end credits reveal that though still wanted Faith and Kate have escaped, and that Project Icarus has only accelerated as a result. The character also appears in 2010's Mirror's Edge for mobile devices, which is a prequel to the original game.

The character stars in 2016's Mirror's Edge Catalyst, a reboot that explores her origins.

Other games
Faith was revealed as a cameo appearance in MySims SkyHeroes, though ultimately does not appear in the game itself. She similarly made a cameo appearance in MySims Agents as a trophy, and as an EA Play exclusive weapon charm in Apex Legends. She is featured as a playable character in EA Sports's 2011 NBA Jam: On Fire Edition.

Other media

After Mirror's Edges release, a six-issue comic series was created. Set before the events of the game, Faith stars as the main character. Production of the comic resulted from an agreement made by EA Games with DC Comics.

The game's writer Rhianna Pratchett wrote a six-page mini comic as a trial submission which was released at Comic-Con 2008. This was successful and she was hired to work on the comic by the Wildstorm division of DC. The comic series allowed Pratchett to examine the characters and world of Mirror's Edge in greater depth than had been possible in the game.

Reception
Faith received a positive reception. GamesRadar awarded her place #96 on their list of best heroes in video games, praising her motives and tattoo. Although Faith ultimately did not make the cut, Game Informer staff considered her inclusion in their "30 characters that defined a decade" collection, with Meagan Marie saying "combined with strength, intelligence, and perseverance, Faith’s tough demeanor in a petite package had her running heads and shoulders above the crowd of cookie cutter female leads". Complexs Drea Avellan put her at #3 in a list of most "badass" game characters.

Prior to the announcement of a sequel, Faith was included on Annette Gonzalez of Game Informers list of characters they wanted more of. UGO Networks similarly bemoaned her lack of future appearance, noting how "she was built to be athletic rather than sexy" unlike most other female characters. Similarly, Mariusz Koryszewski writing for Polish site GameStar called her one of five female video game character that deserved more recognition, commenting on the game's relative lack of mainstream success.

Visual appearance
Her visual design drew attention. Prior to the game's release, 1UP.com's Scott Sharkey placed her #4 on his "most attractive, non-sexualized women in games" list, commenting "looking at her makes us wonder what her story is, not how many man hours were spent tweaking her breast physics." After its release, Game Informer listed Faith as one character well-designed to be memorable, praising her practicality, feminity, and "rough and tough demeanor". In Brett Elston of GamesRadar's list of "tasteful game heroines", Faith came #5. Elston commented on how Faith "walks the extremely thin line between tough girl and 'grrrl,'" and how "sometimes in the pursuit of making a strong leading lady, creators go too far. Faith was a case of just-right balance." In addition to their praise in their best heroes list, GamesRadar called her tattoos one of the "sickest" in gaming in an article written by Ashley Reed and Matt Bradford. They praised how they fleshed out the character's history, as well as how they stood in the face of the totalitarian government of the game. Vietnamese daily Thanh Niên ranked her as #20 sexiest female character in 2015.

However, Gamasutra's Andrew Vanden Bossche commented "again, Mirror's Edge seems to step forward only with its visuals: Faith’s character design is far more revolutionary than her personality", calling her personality common among video game heroines and criticising her lack of proper motivation. Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft reported on a Korean fan's redesign of the character, catered to Asian beauty standards. Tom Farrer, the game's producer, found the image "kind of sad", commenting on how Faith was designed to be "real". Ashcraft similarly reported on Japanese comments leveled against her design in the upcoming Mirror's Edge game.

As a woman
Faith has drawn attention as a female character. GamesRadar's Andy Hartup called her one of 12 most inspirational female characters in games, noting the game's first-person perspective. SFGate listed her as one of the nine greatest video game heroines, comparing the game to Run Lola Run partly as a result of their "driven" protagonists. CNET included her in a list of "video game ladies who rock", noting her sensible pants and shoes. Noting how she bucked many trends for female game characters, Michael Rougeau, writing for Complex, listed her as one of the 50 greatest heroines in video game history. Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly listed her as one of 15 "kick-ass women in videogames", as similarly did Briana Lawrence of Mania Entertainment on a top 13. GameZebo's Dant Rambo felt the developers succeeded in making the character appealing to both genders without sexualizing her. IGN called her "one of the strongest women in the modern gaming landscape," placing her as #3 in their top list of female gaming heroines. Faith was similarly voted #3 of female gaming characters in 2008 by IGN readers, receiving 14% of the votes.

title: Marie Harf

text:
Marie Elizabeth Harf (born June 15, 1981) is a liberal political commentator for the Fox News Channel and former deputy campaign manager for policy and communications for the Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) presidential campaign.  She served as the Senior advisor of Strategic Communications to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at the United States Department of State, leading the Iran nuclear negotiations communications strategy. Harf also was Acting Spokesperson and Deputy Spokesperson of the State Department.

Early life
Harf is the daughter of Jane Ax Harf of Granville, Ohio, and James E. Harf of St. Louis, Missouri, and is a native of Granville, Ohio. She graduated from Granville High School in 1999.

She graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a BA in Political Science with concentrations in Jewish Studies and Russian and Eastern European Studies, and then received her master's degree in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia, where her thesis examined the prospects for continued regime stability in Saudi Arabia.

Career
Harf began her career at the Directorate of Intelligence at the CIA as an analyst focusing on Middle Eastern leadership issues.  She later became the media spokesperson of the CIA. During the 2012 presidential election, she reportedly helped craft U.S. President Barack Obama's national security and communications strategy, and also served as campaign spokesperson on national security issues. In June 2013, Harf was appointed Deputy Spokesperson for the Department of State, where she served as deputy under Jen Psaki.

Harf attracted controversy for an interview she gave on Hardball with Chris Matthews on February 16, 2015 following the release the day before of a video by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya. In response to questioning from Matthews on the U.S.'s strategy toward ISIS, Harf said, "We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's a lack of opportunity for jobs, whether ..." Her critics ridiculed her on social media with the hashtag "#JobsForISIS", which became a top 10 trending topic on U.S. Twitter.

In April 2015, Bloomberg News reported that retiring U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby would soon be appointed Spokesperson for the Department of State, replacing Acting Spokesperson Marie Harf, who had also interviewed for the position. In 2013, Kirby had also beaten out Harf for the spokesperson position at the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel,

Harf served as Acting Spokesperson until May 13, 2015, and on June 1, 2015, she began a new role as Senior Advisor for Strategic Communications to Secretary of State John Kerry, continuing her work leading the Iran nuclear negotiations communications strategy. In January 2017 she became a political commentator for the Fox News Channel. In May 2019, Harf left Fox News to work for Rep. Seth Moulton's failed Presidential Campaign. After Rep. Moulton suspended his campaign, she became the Executive Director of the progressive Serve America PAC, founded by Seth Moulton. She returned as a Fox News Contributor in September 2019.

Personal life
Harf married Joshua Lucas on April 14, 2012.

text:
The Federal Telecommunications Institute (Spanish: Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones; abbreviated as IFT and incorrectly referred to as IFETEL) is an independent government agency of Mexico charged with the regulation of telecommunications and broadcasting services. It was formed on September 10, 2013, as part of larger reforms to Mexican telecom regulations, and replaced the Federal Telecommunications Commission (Cofetel).

The current President of the IFT is Gabriel Oswaldo Contreras Saldívar.

History
On August 8, 1996, President Ernesto Zedillo created Cofetel, which originally was based in the tower of the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation.

In 2013, President Enrique Peña Nieto created the IFT to replace Cofetel as part of the telecommunications reform package of the Pacto por México. The IFT is an autonomous federal agency that is responsible for the regulation of the use of spectrum, telecommunications and broadcasting networks and offerings, and access to infrastructure. IFT also regulates the awarding of concessions and permits for broadcast stations and promotes and protects competition in telecommunications.

Through an agreement with PROFECO, the IFT also handles user comments and complaints for communications services.

Organization
The IFT is headed by a board of seven commissioners, including a Chair. They are each nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

The sitting commissioners are:
 Gabriel Oswaldo Contreras Saldívar (Chairman)

title: Hosmer Allen Johnson

text:
Hosmer Allen Johnson, M.D., L.L.D. (October 6, 1822 – February 26, 1891) was an American physician, academic, and Mason from New York. Badly injured on the family farm, Johnson turned to teaching to support himself. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to attend Rush Medical College. There, he became an understudy of William B. Herrick and joined his medical practice. Receiving a Doctor of Medicine in 1852, Johnson was named Lecturer on Physiology at Rush, eventually chairing a department there. In 1859, he co-founded the Chicago Medical College at Lind University, which later became the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University. During the Civil War, Johnson was the top medical aide in the state, presiding over the Board of Medical Examiners for the State of Illinois.

Biography
Hosmer Allen Johnson was born in Wales, New York, on October 6, 1822. While still and infant, the family moved to Boston, New York. There, Johnson attended public schools. When he was twelve, the family moved to Almont, Michigan; helping with the family farm there, Johnson was unable to attend school. When he was sixteen, Johnson sustained a grievous injury and was no longer able to perform manual labor. In 1840, Johnson began teaching school. Three years later, Johnson decided to further pursue his education at Romeo Academy in Romeo, Michigan. In 1846, he was accepted at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. However, after two years, complications from his injury forced him to withdraw from school. He spent the next winter in Vandalia, Illinois, again supporting himself by teaching. There, he studied medicine with J. B. Hendrick. After his health improved, he returned to the university and received a Bachelor of Arts.

Upon graduation, Johnson moved to Flint, Michigan, and continued to study medicine while teaching. In October 1850, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to attend lectures at Rush Medical College. He became an understudy of Professor William B. Herrick, the brother of the Vandalia doctor. In 1851, he became the first intern at the Illinois General Hospital of the Lakes, later known as Mercy Hospital. In February 1852, he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Rush. The same year, he was awarded a Master of Arts from the University of Michigan. Johnson joined Professor Herrick's medical practice and helped him edit the Northwestern Medical and Surgical Journal.

From 1852 to 1859, Johnson was a member of the Board of Attending Physicians and Surgeons at Mercy. In the autumn of 1853, Johnson was named a lecturer on physiology at Rush Medical College. Two years later he was named the Professor of Materia Medica, Therapeutics, and Medical Jurisprudence. In 1857, he was named chair of the Physiology and General Pathology department. In 1859, he left Rush Medical College to begin a medical school at Lind University with Edmund Andrews, Ralph Nelson Isham, and David Rutter, the Chicago Medical College. Upon organization, Johnson was named president of the faculty and professor of materia media & therapeutics. The next year he chaired the Physiology and Histology departments, then the General Pathology and Public Hygiene departments in 1864.

That winter, his health failed again and despite a six-month sabbatical in Europe, Johnson was forced to retire from his professorship and department presidency. The board of trustees then immediately elected him president of the board. He was also named an Emeritus Professor of General Pathology and Public Hygiene. Johnson joined the Chicago Medical Society in 1852. Later that year, he was named a secretary of the Illinois State Medical Society. He was elected its president in 1858, serving a one-year term. He was later the organization's Chairman of the Committee on Drugs and Medicines. Johnson joined the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1853. He joined the American Medical Association in 1854 and was named a secretary in 1860. He co-founded the Chicago Academy of Sciences and was its first Corresponding Secretary.

In 1865, upon completion of the Cook County Hospital, John was named one of its consulting physician. Likewise, he was later named a consultant at the Chicago Eye and Ear Infirmary. Johnson was also named to the Board of Health for the City of Chicago.

Civil War
In 1861, Governor of Illinois Richard Yates named Johnson to the Board of Medical Examiners for the State of Illinois, where he was immediately elected President of the Board. He was responsible for overseeing the qualifications of physicians for the appointment in the Medical Department of the Army and served the Governor as chief medical adviser. The United States Sanitary Commission requested that Johnson visit the Department of the South; he was present at General David Hunter's request for the Second Battle of Fort Sumter.

Personal life
Johnson married Margaret Ann Seward, a relative of William H. Seward, in May 1855. They had two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter died young, but the son, Frank Seward Johnson, followed his father into the medical profession. He was later named the Professor of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy at the Chicago Medical College. Hosmer Johnson was initiated into the Masonic Order in 1853 and rose to become Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. He organized a Knights Templar chapter for Illinois and was first officer of that branch for two terms. He became a member of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite Northern Jurisdiction in 1861, later becoming and officer. He could speak seven foreign languages fluently and also had a strong knowledge of the Ojibwe language. He served on the board of trustees of the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. Johnson died from pneumonia at his Chicago home on February 26, 1891, and was buried in Rosehill Cemetery.

title: 1794 United States elections

text:
The 1794 United States elections occurred in the middle of President George Washington's second term. Members of the 4th United States Congress were chosen in this election. Tennessee was admitted as a state during the 4th Congress. The election took place at the beginning of the First Party System, with the Democratic-Republican Party and Federalist Party emerging as political parties, succeeding the anti-administration faction and the pro-administration faction.

In the House, the Democratic-Republicans picked up a small number of seats, increasing their majority. However, Federalist Jonathan Dayton was elected Speaker of the House, defeating Frederick Muhlenberg, who had a less clear partisan affiliation.

In the Senate, the Federalists picked up a moderate number of seats, increasing their majority.

Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his presidency.

title: Bermont Formation

text:
The Bermont Formation is a geologic formation in Florida. It preserves mostly invertebrate  fossils that date back to the Middle Pleistocene. Most of the fossils preserved are extant mollusk shells. It is mined commercially along with similar formations, to produce shell fill for construction.

A lot of our information on the Bermont Formation comes from commercial mining operations. Due to the nature of Florida's flat landscape, paleontologists rely on commercial interest in mining to gain access to otherwise inaccessible specimens for study. Such is the case with the Bermont Formation's bone bed in the Leisey shell pit.

As is the case with some other formations, UV can sometimes be used to bring out hidden pigmentation in some fossil shells. This is especially useful in telling the difference between some species, which would otherwise be indistinguishable.

Environment of Deposition
The original environment of the deposits has been interpreted as being that of a shallow coastal marine reef, to open brackish waters, with a maximum depth of less than 15 meters. Currently, it is estimated that 10 - 20% of its mollusk species are extinct.

Index Taxa
Index taxa in the Bermont formation currently include Strombus mayacensis, Vasum floridanum, Fusinus watermani, Fasciolaria okeechobeensis, and Miltha carmenae.

title: Ali Ri'ayat Syah I

text:
Sultan Ali Ri'ayat Syah I, also known as Sultan Husein (d. 8 June 1579), was the fourth sultan of Aceh in northern Sumatra. He reigned from 1571 to 1579 and continued his father's policy of fighting the Portuguese in Melaka.

Succession and dynastic rivalry

Sultan Husein, the later Sultan Ali, was the second son of Sultan Alauddin al-Kahar. His elder brother Abdullah fell against the Portuguese in the siege of Melaka in January 1568. This left Sultan Husein the heir to the kingdom. When Alauddin al-Kahar died on 28 September 1571, he succeeded to the throne under the name Sultan Ali Ri'ayat Syah. According to the chronicle Bustanus Salatin, he was of a mild disposition and friendly towards scholars and other subjects. During his reign an Arab scholar called Shaykh Nur ad-Din arrived from Mecca. He belonged to the Shafi'i school of law and taught metaphysics in Aceh until his death. This may be seen against the important commercial and political relations with the Ottoman Empire at the time.

Another chronicle, Hikayat Aceh, tells of dissent within the royal family. His envious brothers Sultan Mughal and Sultan Ghori plotted to depose him. Sultan Mughal visited Fansur (Barus) and got help from two Batak sorcerers. He then proceeded to the capital Kutaraja (Banda Aceh) and was friendly received by Sultan Ali. Some time later he let the two Bataks enter the palace compound and perform black magic, with the result that the sultan fell ill. The other brother Sultan Ghori arrived to Kutaraja but was refused entrance. Now Sultan Mughal made preparations to smuggle his accomplices into the part of the palace where he stayed in order to perform the coup. This came to the ears of Sultan Ali, who in turn resorted to strategy: he brought in atap (leaves to cover houses) where weapons were hidden. Sultan Mughal was attacked and killed in the tumult in spite of orders by the sultan to spare him. Sultan Ali gave orders to kill all the men of Sultan Mughal but withdrew the order at second thought.

War with the Portuguese

Sultan Ali continued his father's policy of unbending hostility towards the Christian Portuguese, who were ensconced in Melaka since 1511. The period around 1560–1580 was the highest point for the military enterprise of Islam in the East Indies. Through its considerable naval power Aceh contested the Melaka Straits with the support from the Malay sultanate Johor and the Javanese emporium Japara. However, the military capabilities of the Acehnese were not sufficient to expel the Portuguese. A first attempt on Melaka was made in 1573, but in spite of the formidable armada and Turkish assistance the attempt failed. A new expedition got under way in February 1575, supported by Johor and Bintan. The attack was moderately successful to the extent that a few Portuguese ships were destroyed. However, after a 17 days long siege the armada suddenly withdrew from the walls of Melaka. A last attempt in 1577 was likewise a failure; this time the Achnese suffered great losses and the enterprise was called off. In spite of their considerable resources, the Acehnese suffered from inferior artillery, less robust ships, and inferior military tactics compared to their European enemy. More success was scored on the Malay Peninsula where the tin-producing kingdom Perak was attacked and defeated in 1573. Since Perak was an ally of Johor, the event signaled worsened relations with that state.

Sultan Ali Ri'ayat Syah died on 8 June 1579. He left a new-born son called Sultan Muda who was formally enthroned. With this, a decade-long period of dynastic instability and weakness began in Aceh.

title: Key Largo Limestone

text:
The Key Largo Limestone is a geologic formation in Florida. It is a fossilized coral reef. The formation is exposed along the upper and middle Florida Keys from Soldier Key (at the north end of the Florida Keys) to the Bahia Honda Channel (at the west end of Bahia Honda Key). The islands form a long narrow arc concentric with the inner edge of the Florida Straits and with the Florida Reef. The limestone includes fossils of corals, mollusks and bryozoans. Fossilized coral head formations are visible in some exposures. The Key Largo Limestone continues in a narrow band underwater just offshore of the coast of Florida north of Soldier Key to the middle of the Palm Beach County coast, and southward just offshore of the lower Florida Keys to the Dry Tortugas.

title: Miami Limestone

text:
The Miami Limestone, originally called Miami Oolite, is a geologic formation of limestone in southeastern Florida.

Miami Limestone forms the Atlantic Coastal Ridge in southeastern Florida, near the coast in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami Dade counties.  It also lies under the eastern (Miami-Dade County) part of the Everglades, Florida Bay, and the lower Florida Keys from Big Pine Key to the Marquesas Keys. Mitchell-Tapping also states that a component of the Miami Limestone extends under the Gulf of Mexico north to a point 112 kilometers west of Tampa.

The part of the Miami Limestone forming the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and the lower Florida Keys is an oolitic grainstone which includes fossils of corals, echinoids, mollusks, and algae. The oolitic formation in the lower Florida Keys has less quartz sand and fewer fossils than does the oolitic formation on the mainland. Based on those differences, Mitchel-Tapping divided the Miami Limestone into the Fort Dallas oolite on the mainland and under northern Florida Bay, and the Key West oolite, under southern Florida Bay and the lower Florida Keys. The fossils in the formation underlying the Everglades, which does not include any ooids, consists primarily of a single bryozoan species, Schizoporella floridana.

The Miami Limestone was deposited during the Sangamon interglacial, when southern Florida was under a shallow sea. Falling sea levels during the Wisconsin glaciation exposed the formation to air and rain, and rainwater percolating through the deposits replaced aragonite with calcite and formed an indurated rock.

title: George Mitcheson

text:
Sir George Gibson Mitcheson  (27 June 1883 – 18 June 1955) was a British solicitor and Conservative Party politician. He served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Pancras South West from 1931 until 1945 and the President of the National Chamber of Trade for the British Chamber of Commerce.

Biography
Mitcheson was born in Heckmondwike, Yorkshire, the son of solicitor Thomas Mitcheson. He was educated privately and articled to his father.

Career
In 1932, he was made the President of the National Chamber of Trade for the British Chamber of Commerce.

Mitcheson ran for the seat of St Pancras South West in 1931, defeating the current MP, William Carter in a landslide that saw him win a 25.8% swing, one the largest constituency swing from Labour to the Conservatives. He would then hold his seat against James Edmond Sears in the 1935 Election, albeit with a significantly reduced majority, down from around 11,000 in 1931 to only 2,400 in 1935. Then, in the 1936 New Year Honours, Mitcheson was made a Knight Bachelor for political and public services by George V. Even after he ceased to be an MP, he would continue to play a role in politics all the way until 1943 when he finally retired from politics completely.

He died at home in London, aged 71.

title: Battle of Constantinople (1147)

text:
The Battle of Constantinople in 1147 was a large-scale clash between the forces of the Byzantine Empire and the German crusaders of the Second Crusade, led by Conrad III of Germany, fought on the outskirts of the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. The Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos was deeply concerned by the presence of a large and unruly army in the immediate vicinity of his capital and of the unfriendly attitude of its leaders. A similarly sized French crusader army was also approaching Constantinople, and the possibility of the two armies combining at the city was viewed with great alarm by Manuel. Following earlier armed clashes with the crusaders, and perceived insults from Conrad, Manuel arrayed some of his forces outside the walls of Constantinople. Part of the German army then attacked and was defeated; according to British historian Michael Angold, they suffered heavy losses. Following this defeat the crusaders agreed to be quickly ferried across the Bosporus to Asia Minor.

Though limited in its strategic importance, the battle is significant in being a rare instance where Byzantine tactical dispositions are described in detail in the primary sources of the period.

Background
The Second Crusade (1145–1149) was instigated by Pope Eugenius III in response to the fall of the County of Edessa to the forces of the Muslim leader Zengi. The county had been founded during the First Crusade. The Second Crusade was the first to be led by kings, namely Conrad III of Germany and Louis VII of France. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe. After crossing into Byzantine territory in the Balkans, both armies made their way towards the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. The crusader armies intended to then take the overland route across Asia Minor to reach the Holy Land.

Conrad had insulted Manuel by calling him "King of the Greeks" rather than his formal title of "Emperor of the Romans", and the imperial pretensions of the Germans made them far more suspect in Byzantine eyes than were the French. Following oaths taken by the German leaders that they intended no injury to the Byzantine Empire, Manuel made preparations for markets to be made available as the crusader army crossed imperial territory. A Byzantine force under the experienced general Prosouch (Borsuq), who was of Turkish origin, shadowed the Germans. A minor clash between the Byzantine force and the crusaders occurred near Adrianople, with the Byzantines repulsing an attack by Conrad's nephew, the future emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The crusaders also suffered a natural disaster, when part of their encampment was swept away by a flash flood with considerable loss of life.

Manuel wished to induce the crusaders to cross to Asia Minor by the Hellespont, keeping them away from Constantinople. However, they ignored the advice of Manuel's ambassador and pushed towards Constantinople, arriving on 10 September. Manuel had extensively repaired and strengthened the walls of his capital as a safeguard against any crusader aggression. The Germans encamped around the suburban palace of Philopatium, but so pillaged it that it became quickly uninhabitable. They then moved to another suburban palace, Pikridion. The crusader force, which may have been suffering from a lack of food, made depredations on, and acts of violence against, the local population. Manuel was determined to get the Germans across the Bosporus as quickly as possible and mobilised part of his military forces to induce them to move.

Battle
The Byzantine force was placed under the command of two generals, Prosouch and Basil Tzikandyles. They were instructed to make a stand confronting the Germans, and by their presence provoke an attack. The Byzantine army was smaller than that of the crusaders but, as the contemporary Byzantine historian John Kinnamos states, "it was equally superior in military science and perseverance in battle". Prosouch and Tzikandyles had earlier been sent to observe the German army at a place called Longoi. They had reported to Emperor Manuel that, although the Germans were individually impressive and well armoured, their cavalry was not swift and they lacked discipline.

The array of the Byzantine army, unusually, is described in some detail by Kinnamos. To the fore, "far forward", were four units (taxiarchiai) of the "most unwarlike, common part of the army"; Kinnamos' wording indicates that these were infantry. Behind these were drawn up the heaviest and most well-armoured cavalry, the kataphraktoi, the elite of the army. Next were "those who rode swift horses", the koursores, a more mobile form of close-combat cavalry. Finally, in the rear were the Cumans, Seljuk Turks and the "Romans' archer force", all presumably horse archers. This formation is unusual for a pitched battle, and is essentially the reverse of standard Byzantine practice, as exemplified by the Battle of Sirmium in 1167. At Sirmium the horse archers were thrown forward to skirmish with and provoke the enemy, the koursores were placed as flank guards, the kataphraktoi were at the front of the main body of the army whilst the infantry were held in reserve in the rear.

The Byzantinist John Birkenmeier argues that this array was dictated by the particular circumstances of the battle; the Byzantines knew the ground intimately as it was just beyond the walls of Constantinople, and were aware of the German dispositions, so that they did not need to use their horse archers as a scouting or screening force. Indeed, the Byzantine array was more like that used by Alexios I Komnenos at the Battle of Philomelion in 1117, where the infantry were used to blunt enemy attacks allowing the cavalry to make controlled counter-attacks from behind the infantry's protective screen. In addition the lighter-armed troops, by being placed in the rear, could both cover a retreat or exploit a victory, depending on circumstances.

According to Kinnamos, that part of the crusading army confronted by the Byzantines was "seized by a great eagerness and disorder" and attacked "at a run". A fierce battle developed; in response to the reckless attack of the Germans, the Byzantines "scientifically resisted and slew them". A contemporary encomium (collection of praise poems) addressed to Manuel I describes the Cuman horse archers as playing a notable part in the fighting. The Germans suffered heavy casualties. It is clear that not all of the German crusading army was involved in the conflict; Conrad was with another, possibly larger, section of the army. He appears to have been at a considerable distance from the scene of the action as he did not learn of the reverse that his troops had suffered for some time.

Aftermath

The show of military force on the part of the Byzantines persuaded Conrad to accede to Manuel's wishes and have the bulk of his army speedily ferried across the Bosporos to Damalis. Manuel's gravest concern, the threat that the German and French crusader armies might combine immediately outside his capital, had been averted. With the Germans safely on the Asian shore he opened negotiations with Conrad once again. Manuel wanted assurances that the Germans would restore to him any land they might conquer that had once been Byzantine, but Conrad was reluctant to agree to this. Manuel offered Conrad an alliance, but was rejected. The German crusaders then, without active Byzantine guidance (the crusaders later alleged that their local guides were in league with the Seljuk Turks) or adequate supplies, pushed into the interior of Anatolia. At Dorylaeum, they were met by the forces of the Seljuk sultan and, as they were half-starving, were forced to retreat. The Turks punitively harassed the retreating crusaders and the retreat became a rout.

Meeting up with the French army at Nicaea, the combined crusader force then took the coastal route towards Attaleia. Though within nominal Byzantine territory, the crusaders continued to be attacked by the Turks who were allegedly aided by the local Greek population. Though the bulk of his army marched to Attaleia, Conrad took ship with his entourage at Ephesus and sailed back to Constantinople. Manuel received him magnificently and personally gave him medical attention when he fell ill. The rapprochement between the two sovereigns was sealed with the negotiation of a dynastic marriage. Manuel undertook to ship Conrad's now diminished force to Palestine, where the forces of the Second Crusade ultimately met with failure when defeated outside the walls of Damascus.

Moulton Seas End is a village in an extensive Fenland parish, of over  north to south. The civil parish includes the primary parish village of Moulton, and the villages of Moulton Chapel and Moulton Eaugate.

In 1885 Moulton Seas End (then just 'Seasend' or 'Seaend') was a hamlet. A school existed in which there was a chapel for worship, constructed by subscription in 1868. By 1933 occupations, in what was now a village, included twenty-three farmers, three cottage farmers, five smallholders, a potato merchant, a fruit grower, a butcher, a blacksmith, a higgler—itinerant pedlar—two carpenters, two shopkeepers one of whom ran the post office, and the landlord of the Golden Lion public house.

The Golden Lion public house still exists and there is also a village hall and playing fields. The population of the village is about 850. The village war memorial commemorates twenty-two men killed in the First World War, and three in the Second.
