title: William Highett

text:
William Highett (1807 – 29 November 1880) was a banker, landowner and politician in colonial Victoria. He was also a member of the Victorian Legislative Council.

Early life
Highett was born in Weymouth, Dorset, England, in December 1807. His parents were Joseph Highett and his wife Elizabeth, née Harding. There were at least three siblings, John (born 1810), Sarah (1812) and Mary (1817).

Colonial Australia
Along with his brother John, William Highett arrived in Hobart Town aboard the Elizabeth in February 1830. They had intended to continue on to Sydney but decided to settle in Tasmania, obtaining a grant of 500 acres of land near George Town. They later acquired additional land near Launceston and Campbell Town. While John managed their landholdings, William became the accountant of the Launceston branch of the Bank of Van Diemen’s Land in May 1832. When the branch closed, William joined the Tamar Banking Company as a cashier in January 1835.

The brothers had crossed Bass Strait and were in Victoria by 1838 when William became first manager of the Melbourne branch of the Union Bank of Australia. In 1840 he became a local director with the title of managing director. He resigned in 1842 and sailed for Europe, not returning till 1845. On his return he was made a local director of the bank. In 1849 he was one of the founders of the Victoria Fire and Marine Insurance Company.

In 1852 he took a leading role in establishing the Bank of Victoria and became one of its directors and deputy chairman.

He was a founder and director of the Melbourne Banking Corporation and a major shareholder in the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway Company. He was also a founder of the Melbourne Auction Company (1840), the Melbourne Mechanics Institute (1839) and the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company (1857).

He was one of a number of early colonists who built substantial homes on the high ground in Richmond. His neighbours included James Henty, Robert Hoddle, and Alfred Malleson. He was a trustee of St Stephen’s Church, Richmond.

He was joint licensee of the 27,000 acre Maindample pastoral run by January 1847.

On 29 August 1853 Highett was nominated to the unicameral Victorian Legislative Council along with several others due to the expansion of the Council. Highett held this position until the original Council was abolished in March 1856. After an unsuccessful candidacy in 1856, Highett was elected to Eastern Province in the new Council (now the upper house) in April 1857, after successfully petitioning the incumbent, William Kaye, for bribery. Highett held the seat until September 1880.

He was an early member of the Melbourne Club (1838) and served on the committee (1840-1850) and as a trustee. He was also an early member of the Melbourne Cricket Club.

Highett was living in Bridge Road, Richmond, at the time of his death on 29 November 1880. He never married.

Legacy
Highett owned 6,117 acres of land in the Moorabbin Shire by the 1870s. Part of that land was named after him and is now the Melbourne suburb of Highett. There is a Highett Street in Richmond where he lived and owned land. There is a Highett Road in the suburb of Highett and a Highett Street in Mansfield which is located on a pastoral run he once owned.

title: John W. Mohr

text:
John W. Mohr (1956-2019) was an American sociologist and Professor of Sociology at University of California-Santa Barbara. He was widely cited in the subfields of the sociology of culture, organizational sociology, institutional analysis, and social network analysis. His focus was on "developing applications of formal methods of relational (network) analysis to the study of discourse in institutional systems." He was considered a "pioneer in modeling cultural forms," and in 1996, he won the Clifford Geertz Award for Best Article in Cultural Sociology.

Career

He earned a B.A. in philosophy in 1978 and MA in comparative culture from University of California, Irvine in 1979. In 1983 he received a MA and  PhD in 1992 from Yale University, both in sociology. He began his academic career at University of California-Santa Barbara as an assistant professor in 1991, and promoted to associate professor in 1997 and full professor in 2010. From 2008 to 2012 he was associate director for the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research at the University of California-Santa Barbara. He has also been a visiting professor at the Sapienza University of Rome and Maison des Sciences de L'Homme in Paris

He was on the editorial boards of the several social sciences journals, including: Theory and Society, Sociological Theory, American Journal of Cultural Sociology, and Poetics.

Major contributions

In 1996 Mohr's article "Soldiers, Mothers, Tramps and Others: Discourse Roles in the 1907 New York City Charity Directory," won the Clifford Geertz Award for Best Article in Cultural Sociology.

His 1997 article, with Francesca Guerra-Pearson, "The Impact of State Intervention in the Nonprofit Sector: The Case of the New Deal," won the Annual Outstanding Article Award from the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action.

In 2002 he was elected to the chair of the Culture Section of the American Sociological Association, and in 2014 he was a Distinguished University Visiting Fellow at The New School for Social Research.

Mohr, along with Amin Ghaziani, organized a 2012 symposium at the University of British Columbia focused on measuring culture which resulted in a special issue of Theory and Society also edited by Mohr and Ghaziani. Contributors included: Terence E. McDonnell, Ashley Mears, Stephen Vaisey, Andrew Miles, Iddo Tavory, Roger Friedland, Omar Lizardo, Frederick F. Wherry, Christopher A. Bail and Ann Mische. Their efforts culminated in the 2020 book Measuring Culture coauthored by Morh, Bail, Margaret Frye, Jennifer C. Lena, Lizardo, McDonnell, Mische, Tavory, and Wherry.

title: Angela D'Audney

text:
Angela Louise D'Audney (née Cerdan, 26 August 1944 – 6 February 2002) was a New Zealand television news anchor and actress. She was the first woman to regularly anchor nationwide news bulletins on New Zealand television in 1973, and continued presenting news regularly until 1997 and occasionally until 2001, when failing health forced her to leave her role at Television New Zealand.

Early life
Born Angela Louise Cerdan in London, her parents separated when she was a toddler. D'Audney spent the first few years of her life in Brazil with her Orthodox Jewish mother and sister before moving with her family to Auckland in the early 1950s. She was homeschooled and developed a love for languages. She became a naturalised New Zealand citizen in 1956, and married Haddo D'Audney in 1965; they were later divorced.

Career
D'Audney began her career in broadcasting at the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation in 1962, working part-time as a continuity announcer, while studying microbiology at the University of Auckland. She gave up her studies to become a full-time broadcaster, moving on to national news presentation in 1973. Other roles included hosting the arts programme Kaleidoscope, and current events digest Eye Witness News. She also worked occasionally as an actress, and in 1982 shocked the public by appearing topless in the television comedy play The Venus Touch.  She continued as a current affairs presenter and occasional newsreader until 2001, gradually shifting her focus from television work to radio.

In May 2001, D'Audney was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which proved to be cancerous, and underwent an operation two weeks later. She died in February 2002 at the age of 57. During her last year, she wrote and published her autobiography, Angela: A Wonderful Life.

D'Audney is buried in the Jewish section of Waikumete Cemetery.

Legacy
After her death, the Angela D'Audney Trust was set up to raise funds for cancer treatment in New Zealand.

title: Single instruction, multiple threads

text:
Single instruction, multiple threads (SIMT) is an execution model used in parallel computing where single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) is combined with multithreading. It is different from SPMD in that all instructions in all "threads" are executed in lock-step. The SIMT execution model has been implemented on several GPUs and is relevant for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), e.g. some supercomputers combine CPUs with GPUs.

The processors, say a number  of them, seem to execute many more than  tasks. This is achieved by each processor having multiple "threads" (or "work-items" or "Sequence of SIMD Lane operations"), which execute in lock-step, and are analogous to SIMD lanes.

The simplest way to understand SIMT is to imagine a multi-core system, where each core has its own register file, its own ALUs (both SIMD and Scalar) and its own data cache, but that unlike a standard multi-core system which has multiple independent instruction caches and decoders, as well as multiple independent Program Counter registers, the instructions are synchronously broadcast to all SIMT cores from a single unit with a single instruction cache and a single instruction decoder which reads instructions using a single Program Counter.

The key difference between SIMT and SIMD lanes is that each of the SIMT cores may have a completely different Stack Pointer (and thus perform computations on completely different data sets), whereas SIMD lanes are simply part of an ALU that knows nothing about memory per se.

History

SIMT was introduced by Nvidia in the Tesla GPU microarchitecture with the G80 chip. ATI Technologies, now AMD, released a competing product slightly later on May 14, 2007, the TeraScale 1-based "R600" GPU chip.

Description

As access time of all the widespread RAM types (e.g. DDR SDRAM, GDDR SDRAM, XDR DRAM, etc.) is still relatively high, engineers came up with the idea to hide the latency that inevitably comes with each memory access. Strictly, the latency-hiding is a feature of the zero-overhead scheduling implemented by modern GPUs. This might or might not be considered to be a property of 'SIMT' itself.

SIMT is intended to limit instruction fetching overhead, i.e. the latency that comes with memory access, and is used in modern GPUs (such as those of Nvidia and AMD) in combination with 'latency hiding' to enable high-performance execution despite considerable latency in memory-access operations. This is where the processor is oversubscribed with computation tasks, and is able to quickly switch between tasks when it would otherwise have to wait on memory. This strategy is comparable to multithreading in CPUs (not to be confused with multi-core). As with SIMD, another major benefit is the sharing of the control logic by many data lanes, leading to an increase in computational density. One block of control logic can manage N data lanes, instead of replicating the control logic N times.

A downside of SIMT execution is the fact that thread-specific control-flow is performed using "masking", leading to poor utilization where a processor's threads follow different control-flow paths. For instance, to handle an IF-ELSE block where various threads of a processor execute different paths, all threads must actually process both paths (as all threads of a processor always execute in lock-step), but masking is used to disable and enable the various threads as appropriate. Masking is avoided when control flow is coherent for the threads of a processor, i.e. they all follow the same path of execution. The masking strategy is what distinguishes SIMT from ordinary SIMD, and has the benefit of inexpensive synchronization between the threads of a processor.

title: Princess line

text:
Princess line or princess dress describes a woman's fitted dress or other garment cut in long panels without a horizontal join or separation at the waist. Instead of relying on darts to shape the garment, the fit is achieved with long seams (princess seams) and shaped pattern pieces. A rarely used alternative name for the princess line was French-dart-line dress.

History

19th century
The princess line is popularly associated with Charles Frederick Worth who first introduced it in the early 1870s. It was named in honour of the famously elegant Princess Alexandra. By the late 1870s and early 1880s the princess dress was a popular style. It is considered one of the first "bodycon" (body-conscious) fashions due to its extremely closely fitted design, presenting the figure in a natural (or at least, corseted) form undistorted by either crinoline or bustle. Princess-line polonaises were worn over long underskirts. The princess line was also popular for young girls who wore it with a sash or, if slightly older, over a longer underskirt.

20th century
The princess line was a staple of dress design and construction throughout the century. In 1951 the couturier Christian Dior presented a princess-line based fashion collection which is sometimes called the "Princess Line", although its official name was Ligne Longue or "Long Line".

21st century
The princess line remains a popular style for wedding dresses and a design staple for both day and evening dresses. More recently, the design principle has been applied to men's garments, which generally do not have waist seams.

title: Jagannath Kaushal

text:
Jagannath Kaushal (23 April 1915 – 31 May 2001) was an Indian National Congress politician and Law Minister in the Government of India from 1982 to 1985.  He studied law at Panjab University, Lahore, in 1936 and started legal practice at Patiala in 1937. Though he was selected as the District and Sessions Judge in 1947, he resigned from the post in 1949 after the State was merged with PEPSU, and returned to legal practice.

He was elected to the 1st Rajya Sabha in 1952, and was designated as the Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court in 1954. Following the merger of PEPSU with Punjab in 1956, he shifted to Chandigarh and commenced practice at the Punjab and Haryana High Court.  He was also elected president of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association in 1962.

After his retirement from the Rajya Sabha in 1964, Kaushal was appointed the Advocate-General of Punjab. In 1966, he was appointed the Additional Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, but he returned to the Bar nine months after resigning from the post.

In 1967, he became the Advocate-General of Punjab and the Haryana Advocate-General a little later. During that period, he had the opportunity of conducting Indira Gandhi’s election petition in the Supreme Court when she was unseated.

An expert in civil and criminal law, he was the Governor of Bihar between 1976 and 1979. Thereafter, he resigned to resume his practice. In 1980, he was elected to the Lok Sabha from Chandigarh and remained the Union Law Minister from 1982 to 1985. He also ran successfully for Congress, winning his local seat again in 1985.

A member of the Syndicate of Panjab University for over 25 years, Kaushal was the chairman of the Privileges Committee of the Lok Sabha. As the Law Minister, he attended the final session of the UN Conference on Laws of Seas held in Jamaica and signed the treaty on behalf of India. In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the work was suspended on the day he died as a mark of respect.

title: Archie Barwick

text:
Archie Albert Barwick (7 March 1890 – 28 January 1966) was an Australian farmer and soldier known for his diaries of World War I.   His set of diaries are recognised as one of the most extensive and well written first hand accounts of military service in World War I.

Early life
Barwick was born at Colebrook, Monmouth County (now known as Southern Midlands Council), Tasmania on 7 March 1890, to George Arthur Sturgeon Barwick and Elizabeth Ann Barwick.  He worked from an early age on the family's farm near Hobart, Tasmania.  He received an education and was raised in the Anglican Christian faith.  As a young man he obtained a farm managers position on Alex Mitchell's Surveyors Creek property near Woolbrook, high in the New England district of New South Wales, raising sheep.

World War I
Archie Barwick enlisted in World War I at 24 years of age at Randwick, New South Wales on the 24 August 1914, in what was expected to be a great adventure, just 3 weeks after the British Empire declared war on the German Empire.  He served mostly in the 1st Battalion (aka Sydney Regiment) in C Company. He was enthusiastic about enlisting, recording in his diary that he "threw 2 or 3 somersaults" in celebration.  He was measured by the Army at 5’ 4” height and 152lbs weight, with ruddy complexion, fair hair and blue eyes.  He was equipped for the infantry at Randwick Racecourse Camp, and underwent basic training at Kensington Racecourse Camp (now UNSW) for 7 weeks.  Barwick embarked in the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) sailing on the steamship HMAT A19 'Afric' on 18 October 1914 and stopped at Albany, Western Australia, from 25-31 Oct 1914 for a gathering of military ships.  The First ANZAC Convoy was then formed, comprising 38 transport ships, full of adventurers off to war, and escorted by 4 warships.  Tragically for most of the men on board, they left Australia for the very last time on 1 Nov 1914.  They sailed north across the Indian Ocean and were warned about the presence of enemy warships on 8 Nov 1914, and then the ships were blacked out at night.  As the convoy passed the Cocos Islands the next day, the escort cruiser HMAS ‘Sydney’ detached. It fought a battle with the German cruiser ‘Emden’ and destroyed it on 9 Nov (memorial gun in Hyde Park, Sydney).  The convoy stopped at Colombo, British Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), from 15-16 Nov for supplies, and the battle scarred ‘Sydney’ rejoined them.  The convoy continued to Suez, Egypt, Africa and stopped from 1-2 Dec 1914 for military instructions, and then sailed north through the Suez Canal on 3 Dec and reached Alexandria, Egypt on 5 Dec.  Barwick and the 1st Battalion disembarked into the exotic and historical land of Egypt on 9 December 1914. They went by train south to its capital city of Cairo and set up Mena Camp beneath the famous Pyramids.  Barwick, like many soldiers, climbed the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Khufu, and considered the limestone capped Khafre to be the more difficult.  He celebrated Christmas away from family and home, and in the winter there.  They underwent military training for 3 months including musketry and attack tactics and co-ordinating with other units.  During regular periods of leave they would usually go into Cairo, and explore the maze of souks (aka markets) and have wild parties in the cafes and bars.  He was joined in C Company of 1st Battalion by his young brother Len Barwick on 3 Apr 1915, as they were leaving Mena Camp.  They were fortunate in having each of others friendship, support and care, to help survive the hard, desperate and violent war years.

Barwick was sent to war and fought with British Forces against Turk Forces in the bloodbath of the Gallipoli Campaign in European Turkey of Apr 1915 to Jan 1916, where the British aimed to capture the Turk capital of Constantinople (now Istanbul).  It resulted in a British defeat and loss of 250K British and 300K Turk casualties.  They were shipped on HMT 'Minniwaaka' from Alexandria on 4 Apr 1915, and sailed north across the Mediterranean Sea, and stopped at Mudros, Lemnos Island, Greece from 8-24 Apr, for a gathering of an invasion armada.  They would leave the ship for periods of training including amphibious landings on Lemnos. The 1st Battalion, attached to the Australian 1st Brigade, attached to the Australian 1st Division, all sailed on the night of 24 Apr to the combat zone off Gallipoli.  They watched and were deafened in shock and awe, as the accompanying British Royal Navy battleships launched a preparatory bombardment down on Turk positions on Gallipoli.  On the journey there, the soldiers were paid with Turkish currency, which Barwick said in his diary showed the confidence of success of the British. He fought in the Battle of the Landing at ANZAC on 25-26 Apr 1915, where the British launched an amphibious assault and established a foothold on the rugged peninsula of Gallipoli (now ANZAC Day) and also in the Battle of the Defence of ANZAC on 19–21 May 1915.  He fought in the Battle of Sari Bair on 6-10 Aug 1915 including the Battle of Lone Pine.  There his 1st Battalion comrades Len Keysor was awarded the Victoria Cross for quickly throwing back unexploded Turk bombs on the 7 and 8 Aug, and Alfred Shout was awarded the Victoria Cross for charging down lost trenches throwing bombs at Turks on the 9 Aug.  Barwick fought in the Action of Hill 60, Suvla on 21-27 Aug 1915 and remarkably survived 8 months of conflict.  He was in the second last group to leave Gallipoli, during the successful Evacuation of ANZAC on 19-20 Dec 1915.  Barwick said it was "one of the most glorious and at the same time disastrous campaigns as Great Britain ever had anything to do with".

Barwick returned to Alexandria on 28 Dec 1915 and fell sick with septic sores and was separated from his brother Len.  He slowly recovered over 6 weeks in Cairo and then joined the Egyptian Campaign.  He went to the combat zone of the Suez Canal and rejoined his brother Len in the 1st Battalion at Serapeum on 6 Mar 1916, as they guarded the east bank of the canal in the Sinai Desert.   Most of the AIF were transferred as reinforcements to the disastrous Western Front Theatre in France, Europe.  The 1st Battalion embarked from Alexandria on 22 Mar 1916 and sailed west across the Mediterranean Sea and landed at Marseilles, France on 28 Mar 1916 and went by train north for 1,000 km to the combat zone of Flanders.  Barwick returned to the nightmare of trench warfare, fighting in the Flanders Trenches Campaign.  He was separated from his brother again, when Len contracted an illness on 22 Jun 1916 and slowly recovered in France.  Archie Barwick fought on with French Forces and British Forces against German Forces in the fearful Somme Offensive in Picardy, including in the Battle of Pozières on 23 Jul-3 Sep 1916, where he was promoted in the field to Corporal on 1 Aug 1916.  His company was involved in the capture of the town of Pozières under a "fearful bombardment" of German shells.  He was promoted to Sergeant on 26 Oct 1916 and rejoined by his brother Len in the Battle of Flers–Courcelette on 4-19 Nov 1916, where Archie Barwick was wounded in action on 5 Nov, but continued to soldier on.   The next year he was separated from his brother again, when Len transferred to the ANZAC Workshops in France on 2 Feb 1917.   Archie Barwick fought in an engagement near Demicourt, Artois, in the Hindenburg Line Campaign, and was wounded in action again, with a gunshot through his right shoulder on 8 Apr 1917.  He was admitted to the 6th General Hospital in Rouen, Normandy  and made a quick recovery and rejoined the 1st Battalion on 22 Apr 1917, as it was fighting up to the Hindenburg Line.  He fought in the Battle of Bullecourt II from 3–17 May 1917, where his 1st Battalion comrade George Howell was awarded the Victoria Cross for running along a parapet of a lost trench throwing bombs down on Germans on the 6 May 1917.  After nearly a year of conflict, he was luckily transferred away from the battle on 6 May 1917.

Barwick obtained a position as an Instructor for the Australian 1st Training Battalion at Durrington Camp near Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.   He undertook training at Tidworth for 6 weeks and then worked for 3 months.   However he was returned the War and shipped from Southampton over to Le Havre, France, on the night of 25 Sep 1917. He fought with British Forces against German Forces in the blood and mud of the Ypres 1917 Campaign in Belgium and rejoined the 1st Battalion there on 2 Oct 1917.  They were preparing to go into action and he fought in the Battle of Broodseinde on 4 Oct 1917, and in the Battle of Poelcappelle on 9 Oct 1917 and in the Battle of Passchendaele II on 26 Oct-10 Nov 1917.  Later the King of Belgium recognised his 'conspicuous services rendered'.  The next year Barwick fought with French Forces and British Forces against German Forces in the desperate German Offensive Campaign, including in the Battle of the Lys, Flanders from 9-29 Apr 1918.  After a further 6 months conflict, he was wounded in action for a third occasion, when an exploding shell in the battle caused severe chest injuries on 15 Apr 1918.  He was admitted to hospital in Etaples, but his condition was serious and he was transferred to Queens Civil Hospital Birmingham, Warwickshire, England on 20 Apr 1918 for 9 weeks treatment.   He was discharged to leave in London but unfortunately caught the Spanish Flu and was admitted to Harefield Hospital, Wiltshire on 26 Jun 1918 for 3 weeks treatment.  He recovered and was transferred to the Australian No.1 Convalescent Unit at Sutton Veny, Wiltshire on 18 Jul 1918.   After 6 months treatment and rehabilitation he obtained Special Leave for 1914 soldiers and went to St Budeux Barracks, Devenport on 16 Oct 1918.  He shipped out of England on 3 Dec 1918 and returned to Australia, landing at Melbourne on 27 Jan 1919.  Barwick was discharged from the AIF as a Sergeant after 5 years service at Hobart on 30 Mar 1919.

His two brothers Leonard George Barwick (known as Len & b 1894) and Norman Stanley Barwick (known as Stan & 1891-1917) also served in World War I. Len enlisted at Liverpool, New South Wales on 26 October 1914 and served mostly in the 1st Battalion, alongside Archie. He obtained Special Leave for 1914 soldiers and returned to Australia, landing at Melbourne on 2 Dec 1918. Stan enlisted at Clermont, Tasmania on 8 July 1916 and served mostly in the 12th Battalion. After training in England, Stan was sent to war and went to the 1st Australian Division Base Depot at Etaples, France on 11 Apr 1917, where he was reunited with his brother Archie recovering from his second wound, from 16–21 April 1917. Stan was killed in action near Remus Wood, Belgium on 8 October 1917. He was commemorated with 54,000 men whose graves are not known at Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Belgium.

Honours
Barwick was awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre on 19 January 1918, receiving notification on 5 February 1918. His award was published in the London Gazette on 12 Jul 1918, and in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 27 Nov 1918. He was presented with his medal in England on 13 September 1918.

Barwick was one of the six Australians whose war experiences were presented in The War That Changed Us, a four-part television documentary series about Australia's involvement in World War I. He has also featured in projects such as AnzacLive and Anzac360.ac360.

Diary
Barwick wrote 16 diaries documenting his war service, approximately 400,000 words in total. He tried to keep a daily record of his experiences, however he was sometimes forced to write entries later or from notes. His diaries are noted for their detailed description of his experiences and for their style, which has been described as similar to the Boys' Own publications.

Life after World War I

An abridged edition of approximately 133,000 words was published in 2013.

Family life
After his return from the War, a welcome party was held for him at Woolbrook, Walcha Shire, New South Wales on 3 May 1919. He lived for some time in Tasmania before returning to New England.

Archie Barwick married Mona Carroll in 1930. The couple had three children, John, Judy and Tim, and lived on the property Rooya, Abington Creek near Armidale, New South Wales. He was a justice of the peace.

When invasion by Japan was feared in World War II, Barwick was placed in charge of the local Volunteer Defence Corps.

Archie Barwick died on 28 January 1966 at Uralla, New South Wales.

title: FHR European Ventures LLP v Cedar Capital Partners LLC

text:
is a landmark decision of the United Kingdom Supreme Court which holds that a bribe or secret commission accepted by an agent is held on trust for his principal. In so ruling, the Court partially overruled Sinclair Investments (UK) Ltd v Versailles Trade Finance Ltd (a decision of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales) in favour of The Attorney General for Hong Kong v Reid (New Zealand) (UKPC), a ruling from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on appeal from New Zealand.

Facts
Cedar Capital Partners LLC ("Cedar" or "the defendants") provided consultancy services to the hotel industry.  Cedar agreed to act as the agent of FHR European Ventures LLP ("the Purchaser" or "FHR" or "the claimants") in negotiations for purchase of share capital in Monte Carlo Grand Hotel SAM from Monte Carlo Grand Hotel Ltd ("the Vendor" or "Monte Carlo").
 In September 2004, Cedar entered into an agreement with the Vendor which provided for the payment to Cedar of a €10m fee following a successful conclusion of the sale and purchase of the issued share capital of Monte Carlo Grand Hotel SAM.
 In December 2004, the sale went ahead: the Purchaser acquired the issued share capital of Monte Carlo Grand Hotel SAM from the Vendor for €211.5m.
 In January 2005, the Vendor paid Cedar the €10m commission.
 In November 2009 the Purchaser commenced an action for recovery of the sum of €10m from Cedar and other parties on the ground of breach of fiduciary duty.
The Purchaser argued that Cedar owed a fiduciary duty. In breach of that fiduciary duty, Cedar had made a secret commission. The Purchaser argued that this secret commission was now held on constructive trust.

Judgment

High Court
Simon J ruled in favour of the claimants, concluding that he should:

Make a declaration of liability for breach of fiduciary duty on the part of Cedar for having failed to obtain the claimants' fully informed consent in respect of the €10m; and
Order Cedar to pay such sum to the claimants, but, in a further ruling,
He refused to grant the claimants a proprietary remedy in respect of the monies.

In the latter ruling, he held that he was bound by the precedents in Sinclair and Cadogan. He stated:

Accordingly, he issued the following declaration:

The Claimants appealed the ruling as to the declaration issued, submitting that it should be in the form of a proprietary remedy instead.

Court of Appeal
In a unanimous decision, the appeal was allowed. Lewison LJ acknowledged that, as Sinclair had endorsed Metropolitan Bank v Heiron  and Lister & Co v Stubbs, he was bound to follow them as well. Upon reviewing the authorities, he felt he could distinguish the case on the facts:

Etherton C also agreed that the appeal should be allowed, but emphasised that Boardman v Phipps had received inadequate consideration in the reasoning underlying Sinclair. Pill LJ agreed with both judgments.

Cedar appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, and held that Cedar (the defendants) held the €10m commission on constructive trust for FHR (the claimants). Lord Neuberger gave the leading judgment, with which the whole Court agreed.

Previous jurisprudence

Fiduciary duties
The following general principles were summarized in Bristol and West Building Society v Mothew:

An agent owes a fiduciary duty to his principal because he is "someone who has undertaken to act for or on behalf of [his principal] in a particular matter in circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence".
As a result, an agent "must not make a profit out of his trust" and "must not place himself in a position in which his duty and his interest may conflict." In that regard, the former proposition is "part of the [latter] wider rule".
"[A] fiduciary who acts for two principals with potentially conflicting interests without the informed consent of both is in breach of the obligation of undivided loyalty; he puts himself in a position where his duty to one principal may conflict with his duty to the other." Such "informed consent" is only effective if it is given after "full disclosure."

Where an agent receives a benefit in breach of his fiduciary duty, it is obliged to account to the principal for such a benefit, and to pay, in effect, a sum equal to the profit by way of equitable compensation. As Lord Russell explained in Regal (Hastings) Ltd v Gulliver:

Where an agent acquires a benefit in breach of his fiduciary duty, the relief accorded by equity is "primarily restitutionary or restorative rather than compensatory," representing a personal remedy for the principal against the agent. However, in some cases where an agent acquires a benefit which came to his notice as a result of his fiduciary position, or pursuant to an opportunity which results from his fiduciary position, the equitable rule is that he is to be treated as having acquired the benefit on behalf of his principal, so that it is beneficially owned by the principal. In such cases, the principal has a proprietary remedy in addition to his personal remedy against the agent, and the principal can elect between the two remedies. The equitable rule is strictly applied, and has its origins in the 1726 case of Keech v Sandford.

Other jurisdictions
Extensive debate occurred as to the limits and boundaries of the equitable rule, especially where a bribe or secret commission was obtained by an agent in breach of his fiduciary duty to his principal:

Several commentators contended that it is not a benefit which can properly be said to be the property of the principal. This view has been supported in Sinclair.
Others submitted that, where an agent receives a benefit, which is, or results from, a breach of the fiduciary duty owed to his principal, the agent holds the benefit on trust for the principal. This has received legal recognition in Reid.

Sinclair was seen to be the more controversial decision, and has attracted considerable debate in academic literature. The Court of Appeal of Singapore preferred to follow Reid instead, as has the Federal Court of Australia and the British Columbia Court of Appeal. In England and Wales, several judges have expressed a preference for Reid. United States jurisprudence has tended to be similar to Reid.

Significance of FHR
FHR was significant in several respects:

 The view that an agent should not hold a bribe or commission on trust, because he could not have acquired it on behalf of his principal, is inconsistent with several long-standing English decisions.
 Tyrrell v Bank of London (upon which Heiron and Lister were based) was disapproved, as it failed to consider the previous decision in Fawcett v Whitehouse, and therefore should not be followed, and
 any subsequent decisions, at least in so far as they relied on or followed Heiron and Lister, should be treated as overruled.

Consequences
While Reid was concerned with a criminal situation, FHR arose from a commercial one. It is argued that a proprietary remedy for bribes and secret commissions can thus be awarded in a variety of situations:

payments as disguised fees or loans by vendors or landlords to agents, and
transfers of shares, or payments to a trustee, in order to induce a desired action.

The practical implications have been asserted as extending over a broad range:

It encompasses all manner of fiduciary relationships, including employer-employee, company-director, some categories of public official, and trustee-beneficiary.
While the proprietary remedy will allow tracing into the assets of the agent and any relevant third parties in order to claim any fruits of the fraud, a personal claim is still available where it may yield greater value.
The proprietary remedy also attracts ancillary measures, including freezing injunctions and Chabra relief.
Under English law, proprietary claims to bribes and secret commissions may not be time-barred under the Limitation Act 1980, as it may amount to a claim to recover trust property.
As the ruling will allow civil cases to conduct more factual enquiries into the circumstances surrounding secret payments, it will be necessary for agents to disclose such activities more extensively and to obtain appropriate approval from their principals.
As claimant-principals will now be able to assert title to bribes and secret commissions in their agent’s hands, unsecured creditors may lose out in any connected insolvency proceedings.

In its judgment, the Supreme Court addressed the divergence of opinions arising in the various common law jurisdictions:

It also gave guidance in assessing the relevance of prior jurisprudence:

title: Typhoon Joan (1959)

text:
Typhoon Joan was an intense typhoon that caused minor damages in relative to the strength of the typhoon. Joan was the strongest typhoon of 1959 Pacific typhoon season, and one of the most intense Pacific typhoons on record. Joan formed from a surface center to the northeast of Guam on August 23, in which Japan Meteorological Agency began to track and classify the system as a tropical depression on the next day. A reconnaissance aircraft was sent to investigate the surface center and in 03:25 UTC on August 25 the surface center was classified as a tropical storm by Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The storm rapidly intensified into a typhoon in the same day it was formed. By the next three days as Joan tracks towards Taiwan, Joan explosively intensified to attain peak intensity with the pressure of , which is tied with Nina as the most intense Pacific typhoon on the record at the time. Shortly afterwards, Joan attained peak strength as a Category 5 equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale with winds of  before making landfall in Taiwan as a  typhoon, which was according to JTWC is the strongest landfall in the recorded history at the time. After making landfall, Joan weakened into a  typhoon before making landfall on Fujian, China as a Category 2 equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale with winds of . Once onshore, Joan did not degenerate quickly as Joan remained as a tropical cyclone for about one day before transitioning into a extratropical cyclone in 18:00 UTC of August 31. Extratropical remnants of Joan quickly traversed through South Korea and Japan before being last noted on 18:00 UTC, September 2.

In Taiwan, damages were considerable with 3,308 homes being destroyed and $3 million in crop damage were recorded. 11 people were killed and 74 people were injured during the onslaught of the storm. In mainland China, Joan caused 60 casualties, including 3 deaths. In South Korea, Joan caused several rivers on the Korean peninsula to overflow their banks, killing 17 people and injuring 21. Another 7,000 people were rendered homeless.

On August 23, surface analyses indicated a surface center was forming northeast of Guam as winds in Guam are shifting from easterlies to the northerlies. On August 24, JMA began to track the developing system and classified the system as a tropical depression.  A reconnaissance aircraft was sent to this area, and on August 25 at 03:25 UTC JTWC classified the system as a  tropical storm with JTWC giving the name Joan to the said storm. The new storm quickly intensified, as Joan became a typhoon in the midnight of the next day. By noon on the next day, Joan became a  typhoon while tracking to the west.

As Joan began to intensify further into a  typhoon on August 27, Joan began to track northwestward with the speed of . On the next day, Joan rapidly intensified again for the second time as Joan began to increase movement speed up to , and by the midnight of August 29 Joan attained its peak intensity with the pressure of , which is tied with Nina as the most intense Pacific typhoon on the record at the time. In the next six hours before making landfall, Joan attained the peak strength as a Category 5 equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale with winds of , while the pressure rises up into . Shortly after reaching peak strength, Joan made landfall near Hualien City, Taiwan with the winds of . Joan quickly weakened after making landfall on Taiwan, with the winds falling into  after emerging in Strait of Taiwan at the midnight of August 30. Six hours later, Joan made landfall in Fujian, China with the intensity of  of August 30, with the slower speed of . Joan begins to slowly degenerate after the second landfall, though Joan remained on typhoon intensity for most of the day. However, by 18:00 UTC, Joan started to rapidly dissipate as JTWC published the last tropical cyclone warning on Joan. By the next day, Joan began recurving to the northeast while weakening further into a tropical storm. At 18:00 UTC on the same day, Joan transitioned into a extratropical cyclone while above Zhejiang, China. Emerging in the Yellow Sea as an extratropical low in the midnight of September 1, Joan quickly traversed through South Korea as a weak extratropical storm. By the evening of September 1, extratropical remnants of Joan emerged in the Sea of Japan. On September 2, extratropical remnants of Joan traversed through central Japan before being last noted at southeast of Tokyo in 18:00 UTC of the same day.

Preparations and impact

Taiwan
Roughly 140,000 people were evacuated to safer buildings across Taiwan. More than 33,000 people were evacuated to public buildings in Taipei, and more than 6,600 took shelter in Keelung. Joan's approach disrupted international air traffic to the island for 36 hours. According to data from the JTWC, Joan's sustained winds upon its Taiwan landfall were among the strongest in recorded history. Excess winds of  were reported in weather stations across Taiwan after Joan made landfall with considerable damages reported. At least 11 people were killed by Joan in Taiwan, and another 74 people were injured. The storm also destroyed 3,308 homes and caused $3 million in crop damage. The counties of Nantou and Pingtung bore the brunt of crop damage, with significant losses reported to banana, papaya, and rice. The loss of 20,000 banana trees in Nantou was valued at $555,000. About 50,000 homes were evacuated in Fuzhou.

Others
About 50,000 homes were evacuated in Fuzhou as the typhoon nears landfall. There were 60 casualties, including 3 deaths. Rainfall from Joan caused several rivers on the Korean peninsula to overflow their banks, killing 17 people and injuring 21. Another 7,000 people were rendered homeless.

title: Ernest Stanley Salmon

text:
Ernest Stanley Salmon (1 June 1871 – 12 October 1959) was a British mycologist and plant pathologist best known for his work in breeding new varieties of hops. Salmon crossed a wild Manitoban hop with cultivated English stock to create hybrid C9a, which was released to commercial cultivation in 1934 as Brewer's Gold. Though the original wild hop died during the winter of 1918–19, Brewer's Gold has become the ancestor of nearly every new high-alpha hop variety released since then.

Salmon was born in Richmond, Surrey, England, in 1871 and held a number of research and teaching positions through his life. He was a researcher at the Kew Gardens from 1899 to 1906 and at Wye College from 1906 to 1937. Salmon was elected as the president of the British Mycological Society in 1911, he was appointed as a reader in mycology at London University in 1912 and was promoted to a full professorship there in 1925.

As his obituaries noted, Salmon was an excellent tennis player.  He reached the Wimbledon men's singles quarter final in 1903.  Salmon lived for most of his life in the village of Wye. He died in a Folkestone nursing home on October 12, 1959.

Disease research

Though he is remembered today as a breeder of hops, Salmon's career started as a mycologist and plant pathologist with the Jodrell Laboratory, Kew in 1899. He specialized in the study of powdery mildew, a fungus which commonly afflicts food crops, is a particular issue for hops, and for which there was no widely known treatment at the time.

In 1906, Salmon moved to the South Eastern Agricultural College at Wye (part of London University commonly referred to as Wye College) to continue his research into the fungal pathology affecting various food crops, including hops. While there, he began to investigate the hybridization of hops under the College's new hop breeding program, with an eye first towards creating new varieties resistant to diseases affecting the plant.

Salmon's research into the diseases of hops, and recommendations to growers on prevention and treatment, continued for much of his career.

Breeding programme

Until about 1900, there were no large scale, scientific attempts to cultivate new varieties of hops. There were some known varieties, but they were identified primarily by geography and gross differences in the plants' characteristics. While hops were propagated by root cuttings, "cloning" certain genomes, little effort was expended in preserving specific strains or in producing new, high quality cultivars. On top of this, crop yield was highly variable from year to year, due to the effects of disease, pests, and rainfall. Farmers would experience a full crop yield perhaps once in a decade, leading to overplanting, which in turn caused large variances in the supply and price of hops between good and bad harvests. Wye College started a hop cultivation program in 1904 to address this issue by applying new principles of plant breeding to the crop. By 1917, Salmon and Wye had partnered with the East Malling Research Station to grow hops on a larger scale, in order to evaluate the commercial properties of promising crosses.

Salmon's first goal for the hop breeding programme, as an extension of his research in plant pathology, was to develop disease-resistant strains. Through Salmon's career, hops were known to be a bittering agent, but research and interest in hops, particularly those originating in the Americas, was around the preservative value of the hops, the source of that value, and methods of measurement.  Despite this value, brewers generally regarded American-grown hops as inferior, because of their higher levels of bitterness and particularly because of aromas considered unpleasant at the time. Salmon noted early on that English brewers were forced to blend in American-grown hops for their higher preservative value, despite this inferiority, and his breeding research expanded to include this criteria.

As his research was directed toward commercial exploitation of hops, the published summaries generally included the parentage of each variety, comparative crop yield, resistance to common diseases, "resins-contents" (α- and β-acids), and particularly the results of commercial brewing trials with promising strains.

Methodology

It can take a decade or more to bring a single variety from first breeding to full scale farming and some of Salmon's hops took far longer than this to see commercial use. Brewer's Gold was first planted in 1919, but not released until 1934, nearly two decades later.  Cross OZ97a was first bred in 1921, did not reach farm trials until 1957, and it has only been released for commercial cultivation as of 2014.

At the time Salmon began his research, the accepted method for breeding hops was to simply cross the best representatives of a given variety. Recognizing that he could only make incremental improvements to a cultivar in that way, Salmon decided to inject new breeding material into the existing English stock. He collected hops from the United States, Canada and continental Europe and began crossing them with traditional English varieties.

Because of the hit-or-miss nature of finding valuable new varieties, Salmon's procedure was to cross hundreds or thousands of plants each year. By 1930, he said he had grown more than 10,000 seedlings. Some crosses, particularly early in the program, were by open pollination. Later, to select for specific characteristics, field workers would bag each cluster of cones before the female bines flowered, to protect them from wild pollination. They would then apply pollen from a selected male plant to the flower with a paint brush and reseal the bag. Once seeds had formed, the bags could be removed. The seeds would then be planted the following year and evaluation of the new cross could begin the year after that.

To identify individual plants, Salmon assigned a sequential letter (and later, pairs of letters) to each row garden and a number to each hill in the row. If a plant was later replaced, a lower case letter was appended. For example, cross C9a was in the third row, ninth hill, and was the second seed planted in that location. Once a likely candidate had been identified and grown to a scale useful in brewing at East Malling, Salmon and his colleagues would submit it to several brewers for trials "in copper." Following a successful brewing trial, the hops would be released to selected farmers for commercial growing trials before being released. A significant portion of his reports each year were dedicated to these commercial brewing and growing tests.

Varieties introduced by Salmon

Salmon was instrumental in introducing numerous new hop varieties to British commercial cultivation. Brewer's Gold was the seminal hop bred by Salmon and is ancestor to most of the high-alpha hops released since that time. Its seed was planted by Salmon in 1919 from the cross of a wild female hop collected in Manitoba (grown at Wye and identified as BB1) with an English male hop. Brewer's Gold was his first commercial release, introduced in 1934, nearly three decades after he started his research at Wye College. The bulk of his releases occurred in the 1940s, as brewer interest in the "New Varieties" grew and many brewing trials of the hops originating at Wye took place.

title: History of Native Americans in Baltimore

text:
The history of Native Americans in Baltimore and what is now Baltimore dates back at least 12,000 years. As of 2014, Baltimore is home to a small Native American population, centered in East Baltimore. The majority of Native Americans now living in Baltimore belong to the Lumbee, Piscataway, and Cherokee tribes. The Piscataway people live in Southern Maryland and are recognized by the state of Maryland. The Lumbee and Cherokee are Indigenous to North Carolina and neighboring states of the Southeastern United States. Many of the Lumbee and Cherokee migrated to Baltimore during the mid-20th century along with other migrants from the Southern United States, such as African-Americans and white Appalachians. The Lumbee are state recognized in North Carolina as the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina,  but have no state recognition in Maryland. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina are a federally recognized tribe. There are three state recognized tribes in Maryland; the Piscataway-Conoy Tribe of Maryland, the Piscataway Indian Nation and Tayac Territory, and the Accohannock Indian Tribe. Maryland has no federally recognized tribes.

Demographics
As of the 2000 United States Census, there were 6,976 Native Americans in the Baltimore metropolitan area, making up 0.3% of the area's population.

In 2013, 370 Cherokee people and 87 Navajo people lived in Baltimore city, 0.1% and 0.0% of the population respectively. No residents of Baltimore were Chippewa or Sioux.

As of September 2014, speakers of Native American languages were the twenty-seventh largest group of language speakers in Baltimore.

Pre-history
The Baltimore area had been inhabited by Native Americans since at least the 10th millennium BC, when Paleo-Indians first settled in the region. One Paleo-Indian site and several Archaic period and Woodland period archaeological sites have been identified in Baltimore, including four from the Late Woodland period. During the Late Woodland period, the archaeological culture that is called the "Potomac Creek complex" resided in the area from Baltimore to the Rappahannock River in Virginia, primarily along the Potomac River downstream from the Fall Line.

Early history
In the early 1600s, the immediate Baltimore vicinity was sparsely populated, if at all, by Native Americans.  The Baltimore County area northward was used as hunting grounds by the Susquehannocks living in the lower Susquehanna River valley who "controlled all of the upper tributaries of the Chesapeake" but "refrained from much contact with Powhatan in the Potomac region."
Pressured by the Susquehannocks, the Piscataway tribe of Algonquians stayed well south of the Baltimore area and inhabited primarily the north bank of the Potomac River in what is now Charles and southern Prince George's south of the Fall Line as depicted on John Smith's 1608 map which faithfully mapped settlements, mapped none in the Baltimore vicinity, while noting a dozen Patuxent River settlements that were under some degree of Piscataway suzerainty.

In 1608, Captain John Smith traveled 210 miles from Jamestown to the uppermost Chesapeake Bay, leading the first European expedition to the Patapsco River, a word used by the Algonquin language natives who fished shellfish and hunted. The name "Patapsco" is derived from pota-psk-ut, which translates to "backwater" or "tide covered with froth" in Algonquian dialect. The Chesapeake Bay was named after the Chesapeake tribe of Virginia. "Chesapeake" is derived from the Algonquian word Chesepiooc referring to a village "at a big river."  It is the seventh oldest surviving English place-name in the U.S., first applied as "Chesepiook" by explorers heading north from the Roanoke Colony into a Chesapeake tributary in 1585 or 1586.

In 2005, Algonquian linguist Blair A. Rudes "helped to dispel one of the area's most widely held beliefs: that 'Chesapeake' means something like 'Great Shellfish Bay.' It does not, Rudes said. The name might actually mean something like 'Great Water,' or it might have been just a village at the bay's mouth." Soon after John Smith's voyage, English colonists began to settle in Maryland. The English were initially frightened by the Piscataway because of their body paint and war regalia, even though they were a peaceful tribe. The chief of the Piscataway was quick to grant the English permission to settle within Piscataway territory and cordial relations were established between the English and the Piscataway.

Beginning in the 1620s, English settlers from the Colony of Virginia began to trade with the Algonquians, in particular the Piscataway tribe of Southern Maryland. Because the northern part of the Chesapeake Bay area had more trees, there were also more beavers. The colonists from Virginia traded English cloth and metal tools in exchange for beaver pelts. This trade was supported by Lord Baltimore, who felt that more revenue could be gained from taxation of the fur trade than from tobacco farming. Lord Baltimore also wanted to maintain friendly relations with the native Algonquians in order to create a buffer from the Susquehannock, an Iroquoian-speaking tribe to the north that was hostile to the English presence. In exchange for cooperation with the English colonists, tribes on the Eastern Shore of the United States were given grants from English proprietors that protected their lands. The tribes paid for the grants by exchanging beaver belts.

A number of English fur traders help pay the rents for Native Americans in order to prevent tobacco farmers from driving Native Americans off of their lands. Nonetheless, English tobacco farmers gradually acquired more and more land from Native Americans, which hindered Native Americans from moving around freely in search of food. While the English had established treaties with Native Americans that protected their rights to "hunting, fowling, crabbing, and fishing", in practice the English did not respect the treaties and Native Americans were eventually moved to reservations.

In 1642, the Province of Maryland declared war on several Native American groups, including the Susquehannocks. The Susquehannocks were armed with guns they had received from Swedish colonists in the settlement of New Sweden. The Swedes were friendly with the Susquehannock and wanted to maintain a trading relationship, in addition to wanting to prevent the English from expanding their presence further into Delaware. With the assistance of the Swedes, the Susquehannock defeated the English in 1644. On July 5th of 1652, the Susquehannock signed a treaty with the colonists and ceded large tracts of land to the colony. The tribe had suffered a recent loss in a war with the Iroquois, and could not maintain two wars at once. Because both the Susquehannock and the English considered the Iroquois to be their enemy, they decided to cooperate to prevent Iroquois expansion into their territories. This alliance between the Susquehannock and the English lasted for 20 years. However, the English badly treated their Susquehannock allies. In 1674, the English forced the Susquehannock to relocate to the shores of the Potomac River.

Modern history

The Lumbee are originally from North Carolina, where they are concentrated in Robeson County. The Lumbee are recognized as the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina by the state of North Carolina, but do not have federal recognition. During the early and mid-20th century, the same wave of migration that brought large numbers of African Americans from the Deep South and poor white people from Appalachia also brought many people from the Lumbee tribe. The Baltimore American Indian Center was established in 1968 in order to serve the needs of this community. In 2011 the center established a Native American heritage museum, including exhibits on Lumbee art and culture. The urban Lumbee and other Native Americans in Baltimore are concentrated in the 6 blocks around Baltimore Street in East Baltimore. This community is the largest Lumbee community outside of the Lumbee's tribal territory. As of 1993 there were 4,300 Lumbee in Maryland, 2,500 of whom resided in Baltimore between Fleet and Fayette streets, Broadway and Milton Avenue. At the time, the South Baltimore Baptist Church at 211 S. Broadway had a congregation that was approximately 95% Lumbee. The Lumbee tend to be poor. Native Americans in Baltimore, the vast majority of whom are Lumbee, have the lowest income level of any ethnic or racial group, including white people, African-Americans, Asians, and Hispanics. High levels of unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, and domestic violence are problems that plague the community. Over a third fall below the poverty line and the average Lumbee only has an eighth grade level education.

In 2017, Native American activists in Baltimore urged the city council to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day. The Baltimore American Indian Center co-hosts an Indigenous Peoples' Day event. Bills to replace Columbus Day have so far been unable to pass the Baltimore City Council. In August 2017, a monument to Christopher Columbus was vandalized. The unidentified vandals declared the monument to be racist and denounced "European capitalism" and claimed that Christopher Columbus symbolizes "terrorism, murder, genocide, rape, slavery, ecological degradation and capitalist exploitation" directed against Native Americans and African Americans.

The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have a land acknowledgement which states that the institution is located on "unceded lands of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples" and which recognizes "the enduring presence of more than 7,000 indigenous peoples in Baltimore City, including the Piscataway, Lumbee, and Eastern Band of Cherokee community members." The statement also states that the institution acknowledges "the history of genocide and ongoing systemic inequities while respecting treaties made on this territory..." so that the university community can be held "accountable to tribal nations."

title: Ray L. Chesebro

text:
Raymond L. Chesebro (August 28, 1880 – March 25, 1954) was a 20th-century police judge and city attorney in Los Angeles, California, who became known and commended throughout the nation.

Personal

Chesebro was born in Mazeppa, Minnesota on August 28, 1880. His parents were Sarah J. Hill and George Chesebro. He had a younger sister Lillian. When Ray was about nine years old his mother died. Soon after, his father died or abandoned his children. Ray and Lillian lived with relatives in Oronoco, Minnesota. As a young man, Ray lived and worked on a farm run by his grandfather, Levi P. Hill, until he was seventeen.

Chesebro came to California in 1904. He was married on April 9, 1909, to Ada B. Tripp in her home at 755 Maple Avenue.

He was a member of the Jonathan Club, Wilshire Country Club, Blue Lodge and Scottish Rite Masonic Order and Al Malaikah Temple of the Shrine.

Chesebro died at the age of 73 on March 25, 1954, in Good Samaritan Hospital after suffering a heart attack in his home at 5531 Red Oak Drive in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. He was survived by his widow, Ada R. Chesebro; a son, Marvin Chesebro, and a daughter, Geraldine Warwick-Owensmith. A funeral service was conducted in the Hollywood Beverly Christian Church, 1717 North Gramercy Place, with interment in Inglewood Park Cemetery.

Vocation

Following his grandfather's death in 1897, Ray went to Pine Island, Minnesota, to study telegraphy under James Finegan, of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. After eighteen months, he became a night telegraph operator for the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway. From there Chesebro went to St. Paul and worked for his cousin, W. A. Tilden in the wholesale commission business. He became an auditor with the Northern Pacific Railroad. He also studied stenography and took a job in the general freight office of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad, advancing to private secretary to H. M. Pearce, the general freight agent.
In 1904 Chesebro came to California and worked as a telegrapher for the Santa Fe Railroad and as a secretary before resettling in San Pedro, California. He was the manager of an annexation committee that successfully campaigned to annex a shoestring strip connecting Los Angeles with the harborfront cities of San Pedro and Wilmington. He next became secretary or assistant secretary in the Los Angeles County Good Roads Association and organized a campaign on behalf of paving the roadways in Los Angeles County. In July 1907 he was named secretary of a new County Highway Commission.

He read law in the offices of Bryan Hanna, a pioneer Los Angeles attorney, and was admitted to the bar in 1909. For two years Chesebro was in private practice until he was appointed a police judge in 1911; he then successfully faced the voters in 1914 and 1918. He did not stand for reelection in 1922. He was in private practice again until 1933, when he was elected city attorney over the incumbent, Erwin P. Warner, and was afterward reelected in the primaries by heavy majorities four times. In his first election, it was said that Chesebro was a beneficiary of Raymond L. Haight's organization, the Minute Men, who backed Thatcher L. Kemp in his campaign against Buron Fitts for reelection as Los Angeles city attorney.

Of his time as city attorney, the Los Angeles Times reported that Chesebro:

completely reorganized the office with an eye toward economy and cut costs nearly a quarter in the first four years. The appointive office of City Prosecutor, formerly a political plum, was abolished and its functions taken over by the City Attorney's office. For the first time, he created a criminal division in the office.

Chesebro's legal work in fields like "zoning, public works, bond issues, water supplies, Federal-municipal relations, loyalty oaths and control of tidelands resources, was known throughout the nation and widely commended." Described as "a major figure in the local policial scene," he retired in July 1953 and was succeeded by Roger Arnebergh.

Opinions and positions

Police judge

 In 1917, Chesebro defended the Police Department's use of its "Metropolitan or 'Purity' Squad" to apprehend prostitutes. He said:

Today the methods employed are to take some marked money, go to a street frequented by outcast women and agree with one of them to go to a rooming-house. There the officer gives the woman the marked money and she is arrested on a charge of violating the rooming-house ordinance. That is the only method we can employ [as opposed to] a system of espionage by which an officer would watch a suspected woman until she should meet a man and go to a room with him. Then the arrest would be made, but the policeman would have to prove that the arrested people were not married. If every man and woman would  stand pat, no convictions could be secured.

City attorney

 On direction of the City Council, Chesebro filed suit in 1940 against the owners of Gilmore Island, an unincorporated area in West Los Angeles, where sporting events, he said, resulted in "vehement complaints of some 30,000" city residents living next to the area. He said the activities "create unbearable noises, rowdyism and glaring lights way into the night, depriving the persons living there of normal, quiet and happy homes."
 He warned a convention of the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers in 1941 against the "specter of government ownership of tide and submerged lands," which, he said, included more than $2 billion worth of oil deposits off the coast of Southern California. He warned against "oil-grab" bills that "either died a natural death or are in a state of coma to be brought to life at some future date when resistance is not so severe." In 1946-47 he was a trustee of the organization.
 In 1944, Chesebro ordered the closing of a building at 253 South Broadway which had been used as sleeping quarters for U.S. servicemen, warning that "there is unquestioned violation of State fire laws" and alluding to a 1942 Boston night club fire in which more than 400 persons died and city officials there were convicted of lax law enforcement.
 Any public worker could be barred from holding membership in a labor union if such an affiliation is ruled "against public interests," Chesebro opined in the wake of a 1947 appellate court decision that upheld the dissolution of a police officers union. If the board in charge of the department finds "that union membership of its employees is against public interest[,] the board simply tells the workers either to get out of the union of off the public pay roll."
 There would be no way to confine gangster Mickey Cohen unless he has committed a crime, Chesebro told the City Council in a 1952 written opinion after City Councilman Kenneth Hahn suggested that Cohen be taken into protective custody "where he will not be a constant hazard to the safety of innocent persons." Chesebro said: "We cannot proceed against him on the basis of his being a public nuisance when nuisance consists primarily of people who assault his home or himself, each of which instance is beyond his control. ... "

Legacy

After his retirement, he was honored by the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers for "setting an example of the way a City Attorney's office should be run" with a citation that read: "In a city where tremendous increases of population created problems of vast magnitude, his solutions to new legal questions will stand forever as a monument."

Burglary

During the cemetery rites for Chesebro, two Los Angeles police officers were waiting inside Chesebro's Hollywood Hills home on a stakeout in hopes of catching a burglar who had been looting the homes of families during funeral services. They apprehended and, after a short chase, arrested an ex-convict who had broken into and entered Chesebro's home. The man, who admitted stealing $10,000 worth of property from other homes, had been watching newspapers "for his cues, especially daily when services were announced for a prominent person," the Los Angeles Times reported.
