but same result.
how can i make ngnix to give uniq session to each request? to ignor user that is alreat connectd.
maybe its the chrome broser issue for shering session data but can nginx settings help here ?


ARIA organises and supervises research and PhDs in, with and for the arts. The institute safeguards the special character of research in the arts and fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange with other artistic and scientific disciplines. It achieves this through unique partnerships among the Antwerp Schools of Arts and the University of Antwerp, in which the partners' autonomy and integrity come first.
Artistic Research (research in the arts) differs substantially from research on the arts (such as art history, musicology, performance studies etc). The results of an artistic PhD-project are in the first place artistic and are recognized as such by peers. The doctor in arts is however also willing to dialogue with his peers and to communicate about her/his research trajectory.
A PhD trajectory in the arts generally takes four years and is guided by two supervisors: one from the School of Arts and one from the University of Antwerp. An individual PhD commission follows the process. Members of this commission are the two supervisors, a chair coming from UAntwerp and an external member.
Download the full roadmap (explaining all the procedures and regulations) here.
The general doctoral regulations and the additional faculty regulations for Arts can be found on the Antwerp Doctoral School subsite.
The diagram 'Individual PhD commission, PhD jury and defence' shows a visual representation of the rules regarding the composition of the individual PhD commission, the PhD jury and the path towards the defence as described in the regulations.
The 'Practical guide for international PhD students' provides an overview of all practicalities of living in Belgium and at the University of Antwerp.
The title of 'Doctor of Arts' is conferred by the university. Students who are preparing a PhD in the arts are considered students of the university, more specifically of the Antwerp Doctoral School, where they are enrolled in the doctoral study programme. They have two supervisors: a member of the university's senior academic staff (lecturer, senior lecturer or professor) and a supervisor from one of the Antwerp Schools of Arts. An individual PhD commission, consisting of three or four members, also monitors the progress of their doctoral research. You can find out more about all of these aspects in the brochure 'Doing a PhD at the University of Antwerp'.
We work closely with docARTES, a doctoral study programme offered by the Orpheus Institute, for PhDs in music. PhD students focusing on the performing arts have the option of working with a.pass. For audiovisual and visual arts, we work with the other Schools of Arts in the context of SeminArt.
ARIA's steering committee oversees admissions to the doctoral study programme. Students are accepted following a binding recommendation issued by OR-ARIA, ARIA's research board, which is a consultative body comprising researchers of the three Antwerp Schools of Arts and a number of research groups at the university. The student must then use a special form to apply for the programme, which can be downloaded from the website of the Antwerp Doctoral School.

  ![Android Kotlin](/assets/img/post/android-kotlin.png)

Le bruit des vagues, le sable fin, les pieds dans l'eau, le soleil sur la peau, ma vidéo sur l'introduction du langage _Kotlin_ dans _Android_ s'est réalisée dans ces conditions.

## Kotlin is here!

Le G des GAFA a officialisé le support du langage _Kotlin_ pour le développement d'application mobile _Android_, cette année 2017, à la fameuse conférence G I/O, les 17-19 mai 2017.

Dans cet article, nous donnerons des éléments de réponses à la question [Pourquoi Kotlin ?](#pourquoi). Aussi, ce langage sera décrit [en bref](#kotlin). Puis, nous verrons son [support dans Android Studio](#android-studio). Enfin, nous nous interrogerons sur l'[avenir d'_Android_](#next).

## {% icon fa-google %} Pourquoi Kotlin ?

**Mais pourquoi est-il aussi méchant ?** Si vous ne connaissez pas cette référence, je vous invite à aller voir [cette vidéo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHY4I29jxjo){:target="_blank"} :)

Jusqu'à présent, _Android_ utilise la technologie *Java*, initialement développée par *Sun Microsystems*, en 1995. L'avantage de cette technologie est de faire fonctionner un code, écrit en *Java*, de manière identique sur n'importe quel système d'exploitation (*Linux*, *Windows* ou *macOS*), ceci grâce à la machine virtuelle JVM.

Les applications mobiles _Android_ évoluaient dans le meilleur des mondes jusqu'au jour où *Oracle* racheta *Java* en 2009. Ce dernier mena une guerre sans merci au géant de la Montain View, plaidant : les API *Java* sont soumises à la protection de la propriété intellectuelle !
Google a dû épurer _Android_ des implémentations commercialisées par *Oracle* [\[2\]](#oracle). Cela a commencé avec *Lollipop* 🍭 en remplacant la machine virtuelle *Davlik* par *Android Runtime*. Et cela se poursuit avec le support du langage de programmation _Kotlin_ dans _Android Studio 3_.

![Android loves Apple](/assets/img/post/android-loves-apple.png "Android aime Apple")

En outre, depuis ses débuts _Android_ copie *Apple*. Le langage *Swift* a été introduit dans les développements *iOS* à la WWDC 2014. Il a rapidement eu un succès au détriment de l'*Objective-C* [\[11\]](#objc). Il n'est donc pas étonnant qu'_Android_ introduise, à son tour, un langage spécifique pour ses développements d'applications et bizarrement, _Kotlin_ ressemble étrangement à *Swift* [\[6\]](#swift).

Enfin, toutes ses histoires de guerre et d'amour force les développeurs _Android_ à sortir de leur zone de confort. En effet, il s'agit de faire une croix sur nos connaissances *Java* pour découvrir un langage merveilleusement prometteur. Cela dit, les acquis sur le SDK _Android_ sont beaucoup plus important que la connaissance d'un langage de programmation.

## {% icon fa-code %} Kotlin en bref

Tout d'abord, _Kotlin_ est un langage de programmation orienté objet et fonctionnel. Il porte le nom d'une île proche de Saint Pétersbourg, la ville où est basée l'équipe de *JetBrains* impliquée dans le développement de ce langage. Cette société a également développer l'IDE (Integrated Development Environment) *IntelliJ*, sur lequel est basé *Android Studio*. *JetBrains* est réputé pour réaliser des produits de qualité.

En bref, voici quelques unes des vertues de _Kotlin_ :

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Langage peu verbeux : `;`  💚

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Langage clair et concis : ~~getter/setter~~, accès direct aux attributs, etc.

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Affranchissement du `NullPointerException`

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Interpollation de chaines de charactère : `Log.i(TAG, "my width is $mWidth")`

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Déclaration de variables simplifiée : soit `val` soit `var`

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Conversion de type automatique : `val mWidth = 0`

Concrètement, pour avoir une démonstration du langage _Kotlin_, il suffit de se rendre dans la partie *TRY* du [site officiel](https://try.kotlinlang.org){:target="_blank"}. Puis, vous trouverez des exercices cool dans *Kotlin Koans*.

Et si vous désirez des news sur _Kotlin_, rejoignez le slack [{% icon fa-slack %} kotlinlang](http://slack.kotlinlang.org/) ou suivez [{% icon fa-twitter %} @kotlin](https://twitter.com/kotlin).

## {% icon fa-android %} Android et Kotlin

*AS 3* est sorti, en version de prévisualisation, tout juste pour la G I/O 2017 [\[9\]](#as3). Il supporte le langage _Kotlin_. L'avantage est qu'il peut être installé en parallèle d'une version existante d'*AS*. Les versions stable et *Canary* d'*AS* partagent alors les dossiers d'installation (*SDK Android* et préférences).

D'ailleurs, voici les principaux atouts du support de _Kotlin_ dans *AS 3* :

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Cohabitation du code *Java* et _Kotlin_

{% icon fa-paperclip %} Conversion automatique du code *Java* vers _Kotlin_ : `Ctrl+C` de code _Java_ `Ctrl+V` dans un fichier _.kt_ ou [Convertir un fichier Java en Kotlin](#convert)

### Créer un projet Kotlin

1. Dans *AS 3*, créer un nouveau projet : `Start a new Android Studio project`.
2. Cocher la case `Include Kotlin support`, si ce n'est pas déjà le cas.
3. Cliquer sur `Next` puis configurer le projet à votre guise.

###  Convertir un fichier Java en Kotlin

Aller dans le menu `Code > Convert Java File to Kotlin File`

## {% icon fa-calendar %} What is next ?

Dans l'immédiat, on peut s'attendre à rien parce que c'est l'été. Cela dit la version 8 d'_Android_ devrait sortir en octobre comme les précédentes versions d'_Android_ depuis 2013.
En général, la sortie d'une nouvelle version n'arrive jamais seule. Elle est souvent accompagnée d'une mise à jour majeure d'*Android Studio*. Pour la rentrée, en octobre, novembre, on peut donc s'attendre à *AS 3* en version stable.

Concernant le nom de la prochaine version O d'_Android_, je parie sur *Orange Cake* 🍊 et vous ? N'hésitez pas à commenter cet article ou la [{% icon fa-youtube %} vidéo](https://youtu.be/mrJmVjsJlYU){:target="_blank"} pour faire vos propositions. En outre, la présentation correspondante [{% icon fa-slideshare %} Android - Introduction à Kotlin](https://www.slideshare.net/MachaDACOSTA/android-introduction-kotlin){:target="_blank"} est disponible sur *SlideShare*.

En attendant la rentrée je vous souhaite à tous un bel été !

Hi guys! I hope you had a good week last week and had a fun and restful weekend. Not sure if that is a thing because if I have too much fun I don't rest and if I have a restful weekend that means I didn't have that much fun lol you get me?
I was in San Antonio for most of the week for a work conference and had so much fun! We definitely worked but not as much as we partied haha. We had work events every evening and it was nice to be out of the office with all my co workers. There was a black and white gala Friday night and I wore a beautiful black lace dress that I will post on Thursday! My favorite cover band Emerald City played at the gala and I had so much dancing with all my girlfriends from work.
I did miss Raymond and my pups so much though. I was gone for 3 nights and it was the longest time Raymond and I have ever been apart in almost 4 and a half years and I did not like it. We truly are best friends and missed each other to death. He picked me up at the airport with flowers and gave me a big hug. When I got home there were more flowers, wine, the house was spotless, all the laundry had been done and he grocery shopped all so that we could spend the weekend together without any chores. What a sweetheart right!! It got me thinking, "maybe I should go away more often" hahaha jk jk he truly is the bestest husband I could have ever dreamed of!! I love you babe.
This week I am prepping for my 10k on Saturday and I am so excited. Wish me luck.
So for this week, I didn't have a lot of time to window shop, and by window shop I mean browse all the different windows open in my computer with my favorite stores. So here are the items I purchased only.
All My Hope by Crowder ft. Tauren Wells. I get chills listening to this song it's amazing!
Thanks for stopping by today friend! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Q: Identify checkout success page when i  echo
"Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getActionName();"

on
"checkout/onepage/success"

page it gives me values as "index".
As per url i suppose output should be "success".
I want to identify if current page is checkout success page, so i tried to use the above code, but it gives undesired output.

A: Magento page layout is matching  with FullActionName().
Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getFullActionName();
If this code returns true
Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getFullActionName() === 'checkout_onepage_success'

it means that this page is the checkout success page

A: The answer from @mbalparda indeed answers your original question. However, based on the comments, it sounds like what you really need is a layout.
If you placed the code in the footer.phtml template file you'll have a hard time removing it on the success page. In that case we'll create a layout instruction so that we can remove it once we're on the success page.
1. Create two static blocks
Name them google-trusted-general and google-trusted-success. Place your scripts (script tag and all) into each.
2. Update (or create) your local.xml theme layout
In your theme's layout folder add this to your local.xml file (if it doesn't exist, create it):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
        <reference name="before_body_end">
            <block type="cms/block" name="trusted">
                <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>google-trusted-general</block_id></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </default>
    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <reference name="before_body_end">
            <remove name="trusted"/>
        </reference>
        <reference name="checkout.success">
            <block type="core/text" as="trusted" name="trusted">
                <block type="cms/block" name="trusted">
                    <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>google-trusted-success</block_id></action>
                </block>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>
</layout>

This will add the script to the entire site and remove on the success page, displaying a new block.

A: Use

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()

and there you will see the entire request and not only the action name.
Dont echo it but var_dump() it since its an array.
This can be useful too:
**
 * get Controller name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getControllerName();

/**
 * get Action name, i.e. the function inside the controller
 */
$this->getRequest()->getActionName();

/**
 * get Router name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getRouteName();

/**
 * get module name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getModuleName();

from here.

Q: Typescript, javascript, better way of writing this This will be an easy question for someone, typescript doesn't like the below syntax, how do I rewrite it using jQuery 'on'?
    var funcA= "FuncA('" +id+ "'," +max+ ");";
    $textbox[0].onkeyup = new Function(funcA));

I could possibly pass id and max in a closure but I'd like to know how to use 'Function' with the jQuery 'on' function
It would also be useful to know if it's possible to specify a region in typescript as ignorable, to be able to say just treat this block as valid javascript
Thanks

A: How did you ever come up with this? Every time you realize you are writing a code to a string, you know you are doing it wrong. The eval function and the Function constructor should be forgotten.
$textbox[0].onkeyup = function () { FuncA(id, max); }; // Solution 1
$textbox[0].onkeyup = FuncA.bind(null, id, max); // Solution 2

// Using jQuery
$($textbox[0]).keyup(FuncA.bind(null, id, max));

A: try this :
    $textbox[0].keyup(function(){FuncA(id,max);});

A: Just use the .on function. It should compile fine:
$textbox.on('keyup',()=> FuncA(id,max));


I've been trying and mostly failing at avoiding the mindlessness of the internet. When I've succeeded, here's what I think is worth reading, listening to and thinking about.
Is there any excuse for not publishing anything for over a month? No, I didn't think so. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but my earth seems to have been spinning extra fast over the last few months.
As ever, I've been trying and mostly failing at avoiding the mindlessness of the internet. When I've succeeded, here's what I think is worth reading, listening to and thinking about.
Read– Spill Simmer Falter Wither, a novel by Sara Baume, published by Tramp Press (who I've had the pleasure of interviewing, here) I'm hoping to review the book properly soon but until then, here's your 6 word review; buy it, you won't regret it.
2. Listen- to Gloria Steinem on Man Repeller's Oh Boy podcast. As insightful as she is witty, I was particularly interested in how she views her life and work, in retrospect.
3.Watch: Michelle Obama's response to the recently released tapes which have confirmed Donald Trump as a sexual predator and a threat to women.
4. Listen to Blindboy from the Rubberbandits take part in a Q&A after the a showing of The Rocky Road to Dublin by Peter Lennon, in the IFI. Questioning Irish history, cultural identity, postcolonalism and patriarchy, he manages to wrangle theory and humour into the most engaging conversation.
5. Look up #gearrthóg on Twitter and Instagram. As part of Imram, the hugely talented and imaginative poet Ciara Ní Éanacháin hosted an evening of cut-up and blackout poetry, the fruits of which are to be found online. Check out @Reic for more upcoming bilingual, spoken-word events around the country.


Here is the copy with a plain blue cover identical on the inside with copies with tan and blue covers featuring Oxford Edition in a medallion on both the cover and the spine. This plainer copy has nothing on the dark blue cover and on its spine the title, Oxford Edition, and a small gryphon. Did the publisher himself change the color or form of the cover as he ran out of this or that material? I take it that we are in a phase of publishing where binding is rather new to the publishing house. Let me repeat my comments from the other copies. Herrick's illustrations for Aesop were much reproduced, it seems to me. This is one of three different versions of the Oxford Edition that presents his designs, one each for one-hundred-and-ten fables. All these editions stem from the original 1865 edition by Hurd and Houghton (Bodemann #334). As she says, the author of the prose versions is unknown. The applications are often longer than the fables! I find Herrick generally noble rather than imaginative. I think that he is at his best here when he is most dramatic. Two examples are WSC on 64 and CW on 218. I notice in dealing with this copy that the printer of all three, S.J. Parkhill in Boston, is the same.

Florida Strawberry Festival February 28, 2019 6:00 am
STYX returns to Strawberry Festival
By Justin Kline
Jason Powell (Courtesy photo)
The band last played a concert in Plant City back in 2014.
The last time STYX took to the Wish Farms Soundstage, the legendary classic rock band helped start the Florida Strawberry Festival on a high note with its opening night concert. They played many of their greatest hits and even brought up 2014 Strawberry Queen Jessi Rae Varnum for guest vocals.
Needless to say, the band is excited to get back in front of a familiar audience.
"I just remember that one in particular for whatever reason, I can't cite why, but the crowd was so into it and the festival itself seemed to be conducive to a great rock show," bassist Ricky Phillips said. "They came to party, they came with a lot of energy and that's what I remember."
STYX fans can once again expect to hear some of the band's most iconic songs, from the sweeping chorus of "Come Sail Away" to the hard rocker-turned-Pittsburgh Steelers anthem "Renegade." Phillips said the band will also include some "deep cuts" for the hardcore fans and songs from its newest album, 2017's "The Mission." A new wrinkle, at least for this show, is that fans will get to hear "Mr. Roboto." After many years of not playing the song live, STYX added it into the rotation in 2017 and Phillips said playing the song has been "a lot of fun."
"Every once in a while we hit on something that's working well and if it's the same kind of audience, we stick with it," Phillips said. "You want to rock a little harder in outdoor festival settings like this."
As usual, STYX is going to stay busy on the road this year. They're booked for a run of shows with comedian Larry the Cable Guy in March, going abroad to the United Kingdom and Norway in the summer and will begin planning their next move after the current tour run ends in March.
"There's always something looming or trying to be put together," Phillips said. "In 15 years, if we ever got more than 10 days off in row it was a miracle."
"The Mission" is STYX's latest foray into storytelling. The 2017 album is the tale of a manned flight from Earth to Mars that launches in the year 2033. Phillips said the band worked on the story with help from NASA. STYX is hoping to do a run of shows for the album later this year, but plans are not yet set in stone.
If everything goes well, the band members might be able to get to the festival early and enjoy everything it has to offer before going on stage. And when they do get ready to rock and roll that night, they'll make sure to put on another show Plant City won't soon forget.
"We're rocking full force from beginning to end," Phillips said.

Another poor second period led to another loss for the Stockton Thunder.
Stockton scored early to take the lead, but surrendered four goals in a nightmarish second and lost to the Bakersfield Condors 4-1 on Friday in front of 5,534 at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. The Condors had a similar comeback in Stockton on Tuesday, coming back from two goals down to win 5-3 as the Thunder struggled in the second and third period.
This time Stockton (27-18-9) had plenty of energy in the final period, but it was too late.
"We had a good first period and horrible second period, and it cost us the game," Thunder coach Matt Thomas said. "It's a bad trend we're on right now. We have to play better than that."
Garet Hunt scored for Stockton, which took a 1-0 lead into the second. The Condors (28-24-3) suddenly couldn't be stopped, and two of their four goals came on breakaways - the final one by Joel Broda, who had two on the night.
Goalie Zane Kalemba took the loss for Stockton. He started after Bryan Pitton was called up to the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL earlier in the day.

Q: angularjs anchor in iterator (anchorscroll, ng-repeat,loop) for example,

item.title

    ...
    ...
    ...

item.up

As i know ,anchor scroll need to specify an id for the anchor, but how can i do the anchor scroll without id, The situation is there's another loop wrap this item repeat. and i can't specify an id like

item.title

    ...
    ...
    ...

item.up

So if the code is like below, there will be multi id="anchor{{$index}}"

item.title

      ........

And i don't want to use two indexs to specify the id, or the code will be too complex.
How can i solve it .....Thanks

A: Without knowing your exact scenario, I would say that you are going to have to artificially create some kind of unique anchorId on the elements you care about.
Again, I don't know what your controller or model look like, but you could use a technique similar to this.
angular.forEach(this.parents, function(parent, i){
    //Add unique anchorId to parent
    parent.anchorId = "anchor-" + i;
    angular.forEach(parent.children, function(child, j){

       //Add anchorId to child as well
       child.anchorId = "anchor-" + i + "-" + j;
    });
});

This will basically give you something you can bind to in the DOM and then trigger a scroll with a click event. The bindings would be similar to what you have above.

{{parent.name}}

         {{child.name}}

             | to {{parent.name}}

And finally in your controller you could create a scrollTo method that looked something like this.
Ctrl.prototype.scrollTo = function(anchorId){
  this.$location.hash(anchorId);
  this.$anchorScroll();
};

This will basically do what you want and allow you to scroll around to your hearts content.
I've wrapped all this up in a jsFiddle example so you can see the full working example.

According to CASE Belarus estimates, in 2017 the number of Belarusian labour migrants in the EU was around 100,000 people, not that much for a 9.5 mln country. That figure also covered circular migrants, those who went to the EU for employment and regularly returned to Belarus. By 2020, Belarusians looked much more to the EU than to Russia; number of circular migrants to the EU is up to 70 thousands, says the latest report prepared together with CASE — Center for Social and Economic Research (Poland), Institute for Politics and Society (Czechia), Institute of Economic Research of Slovak Academy of Sciences (Slovakia), Youth Labour Rights (Belarus).
Data for the Poland, Slovakia and Czechia indicate that the number of Belarusian citizens granted various forms of work permits in those countries has been constantly rising, however, it is difficult to accurately assess the number of Belarusian circular migrants in those countries due to difference in migration data collection. Recent population and expert surveys point at higher wages and generally high living standards in receiving countries as the strongest pull factors for Belarusian migrants. Considering the recent stagnation of the Belarusian economy, the gap in GDP per capita between Belarus and these countries has widened. As the gap is forecasted to continue to grow, the permanent and temporary migration of Belarusians in the medium term will likely continue to increase.
The employment of Belarusian circular migrants in the labour markets of Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic seems to be complementary to the employment of those countries' nationals. In Poland, they fill labour supply gaps especially in sectors such as transportation and storage, manufacturing, or construction. The vast majority of circular migrants in the Czech Republic take up low-skilled, often highly physically demanding jobs, including those in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Official Slovak statistics indicate that Belarusians are predominantly employed in certain occupations with high labour shortages such as truck drivers and professionals.
Institutional and legal cooperation between Belarus and Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic in the area of migration is largely non-existent. Belarusian authorities did not elaborate any strategy or any specific legislation regulating circular migration. Poland has some initial clear and lasting advantages over Slovakia and the Czech Republic as a destination for circular migrants from Belarus. The most fundamental is the ease of access to the territory, which is matched by a relatively liberal system of residence and work legalisation. The country also has the highest share of migrants from the post-Soviet area on its labour market, and it has developed a basic set of instruments for attracting and retaining migrant workers from that geographic region.
What could be the policy proposals to tackle common challenges of circular migration from Belarus?
1. The process of issuing visas to Belarusian nationals should be made as simple and as transparent as possible
2. The level of bureaucracy related to migration from Belarus (obtaining work and residence permits) should be lowered for the sake of both migrants and entrepreneurs
3. National migration strategies based on accu- rate projections of the countries' economic outlooks and realistic assessments of migra- tion flows and demographic developments should be adopted and implemented
4. Specific legislation regulating circular migration which would take into account the inter- ests of the sending and receiving states and of the migrants should be elaborated

Domestic incident brings menacing, resisting counts
Jan 10th, 2020 · by Delaware State News · Comments: 0
MILLSBORO — A 42-year-old woman was arrested on aggravated menacing, resisting arrest and other charges following a domestic related incident Wednesday, Delaware State Police said.
Michelle L. Corbitt was taken into custody after the alleged incident in the 27000 block of Pot of Gold Circle, spokeswoman Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe said. Police were dispatched to the scene at approximately 8:05 p.m.
Michelle L. Corbitt
A 54-year-old man was outside when police arrived and claimed that he and his girlfriend Ms. Corbitt were in an altercation and he was physically assaulted. Mr. Corbitt allegedly grabbed a knife and threatened to kill him, the man said.
The man sustained minor injuries and declined medical treatment.
Troopers tried to contact Ms. Corbitt who was still inside the residence and refusing to answer the door. Troopers subsequently made entry into the residence when MS. Corbitt continued to resist arrest and pulled away as they were attempting to handcuff her, police said. She was then taken into custody.
Charges included possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, aggravated menacing, resisting arrest with force or violence (felony), terroristic threatening, and third-degree assault.
Following arraignment through Justice of the Peace Court, Ms. Corbitt was committed to Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in New Castle on $27,000 secured bond.

Hot Reads: NU's QB Questions Offer Hope on Rocky Top?
By Brandon Vogel
More from Brandon
Nebraska football is back at practice this week after beginning bowl preparations late last week. Tuesday's practice includes media availability, which means we should get an update on the status of Tommy Armstrong Jr.
Last Friday, Mike Riley said that Armstrong wasn't practicing and that Nebraska was "going forward as if Ryker [Fyfe] is going to start."
Has anything changed over the last four days? Husker fans will be anxious to find out. Count the Tennessee Volunteers among those also interested in what's happening at quarterback, or at least one Tennessee columnist is.
John Adams of the Knoxville News-Sentinel wrote this week that the Huskers questions at quarterback and lowly ranked offense in general should "evoke euphoria" for an even more lowly ranked Tennessee defense (109th nationally, allowing 460.2 yards per game).
Facing the Huskers is a heckuva lot better than facing Oklahoma -- Tennessee's likely matchup had the Vols not lost to Vanderbilt -- with all of its offensive weapons.
My best guess: Oklahoma would have scored somewhere between the low 60s and the low 70s on Tennessee's bend-and-break defense. In fact, it might have made a run at the record-setting high of 76 that Vanderbilt hung on the Vols in 1918.
The Vols have no such concerns now. And the possibility that Armstrong either won't play or won't be at full speed is further cause for Tennessee to be optimistic.
Given Tennessee's defensive shortcomings, its matchup with Nebraska is a godsend.
It has been a strange season at Tennessee, and that is a strange column. It's not wrong. The Vols would probably feel better facing Fyfe than Armstrong because that would be the case with any backup versus the first-stringer.
But euphoric? A godsend? That's just one columnist's prescription, but man does it feel like a long way from the SEC-East-favorite talk from four months ago.
Bama to Boca
I have to admit I was having a hard time understanding Lane Kiffin's move to become the head coach at Florida Atlantic. The program just completed its 15th season of football, the first four as an FCS member or a provisional FBS member. In its 12 seasons as a full FBS member, FAU has had a winning season just twice (2007, 2008), had four different head coaches over that span and won just 16 games total over the past five seasons.
Seemed like a less-than-perfect destination for a coach that some say has brought Alabama's offense up to date, a characterization I've never fully bought. When you consider the Tide's talent and cadre of support staff (guessing FAU won't have any offensive analysts), a lot of coaches probably would've had some success with Alabama's offense. Still, if Ed Orgeron really was dangling LSU's offensive coordinator gig, why wouldn't Kiffin go there? There's no way he would make less money as the Tigers' OC.
According to this report from USA Today's Dan Wolken, Kiffin landed in Boca Raton because it was one of the few places willing to take him based on conversations with multiple sources, speaking anonymously, in the industry:
Though Kiffin frequently exaggerated other programs' interest in him to those inside the football facility at Alabama, he only came close to getting one job — Houston, which had him as a finalist but chose Major Applewhite instead — before landing at FAU.
As it turned out, Kiffin's cavalier attitude toward pushing boundaries in his one year at Tennessee, the train wreck ending at Southern Cal plus questions about his personal maturity (Kiffin's divorce earlier this year didn't help matters) had all conspired to leave such a negative impression on the industry that administrators largely shied away.
Though Kiffin's name was brought up for multiple jobs across the last three years, nearly all of it was speculation and smoke rather than genuine interest in him. One person with knowledge of the matter, who had investigated Kiffin for a job, said reference calls to people who worked at USC and Tennessee basically rendered him unhireable.
Just not at FAU. Something tells me this probably isn't going to work out. Or, rather, everything tells me that.

Yes, Nebraska had its first decommitment from the 2017 class on Monday. You can read Robert Porcher IV's statement on the decision here, hear what his father had to say about it here, and check out how might be next on the list for Nebraska here. (Last one's premium.)

The Church of England's recent Synod closed with a report on the mission of the church, titled Setting God's People Free.
"1. Until, together, ordained and lay, we form and equip lay people to follow Jesus confidently in every sphere of life in ways that demonstrate the Gospel we will never set God's people free to evangelise the nation.
2. Until laity and clergy are convinced, based on baptismal mutuality, that they are equal in worth and status, complementary in gifting and vocation, mutually accountable in discipleship, and equal partners in mission, we will never form Christian communities that can evangelise the nation."
The report is a very powerful call to equip the church for whole of life discipleship as the key to evangelistic fruitfulness.

2 volt traction cells are mainly used in heavy industrial electrical applications, such as: electric forklifts, electric trucks, large industrial cleaning machines, tower wagons etc.
The cells are composed of positive tubular plates and negative grid plates, which guarantee a higher capacity and longer life than the conventional batteries with fl at plates. The positive and negative plates are separated by a micro-porous separator in order to avoid mutual contact and short circuits. The plates are packed in a polypropylene container that is resistant to vibrations. At the bottom of this container, there is a rest room to collect the precipitate and thus to prevent short circuits. On top of the cells, there is a lid to prevent the coming-up of the separators by vibrations and shocks and causing a short circuit. The lid also protects against acid and protects the plates and the separators during fi lling. The cells are standard equipped with manual fi ller caps and a little basket which simplifi es the refi lling (refi ll up to the bottom of the basket).

Bill and Winston almost owe Colin Craig a beer... almost
When they're sitting down for coalition negotiations over the coming days, Bill English and Winston Peters should raise a glass in honour of Colin Craig, the man who saved both their parties this election.
Well, I'm exaggerating a bit there. But an analysis comparing preliminary results from both the 2014 and 2017 elections suggests a correlation between electorates where the Conservatives won a high share of the party vote and the electorates in 2017 which comparatively contributed more to the final overall party vote totals of National and New Zealand First this election.
The idea is simple. In 2014 approximately 95,000 New Zealanders voted for the Conservative Party led by Colin Craig. In the preliminary results on 20 September 2014, that figure was 86,616. In 2017's preliminary results that figure had dropped to just 5,318. On election night there were some 81,298 voters who had left the HMNZS Colin Craig in those three years, and I wanted to find them.
There were a few assumptions that were easy to make. I thought it was pretty unlikely many of them would have switched their votes to Labour, the Greens, or even The Opportunities Party given TOP's liberal stance on marijuana.
The issues that motivated voters to cast their ballots for the Conservatives were predominantly social issues that they had a conservative take on. That meant there were only three likely parties for those votes to go to.
Given ACT got so few votes, it was clear they hadn't all rushed there. Plus ACT under David Seymour emphasises a more libertarian ideology than say the ACT of John Banks or Richard Prebble which had a healthy does of social conservatism mixed in with its Rogernomics bent.
That left only National and New Zealand First as the two contenders for those votes. National under John Key was a fairly socially liberal party, but Bill English, as a Catholic, does have a socially conservative streak in him. Likewise New Zealand First and in particular Winston Peters, have always appealed to the protectionist, anti-outsider, harking back to the good-old-days mentality that is commonly associated with voters of a conservative nature. And, if overseas experience teaches us anything, those of a conservative nature aren't shy about voting, so I didn't expect them to stay away in large numbers.
What I wanted to see specifically though was whether this translated into my previous examination of the changing party vote share in each electorate between the two elections. Maybe I'd missed something. Could National's stronger than expected (and Labour's weaker than expected) results in Auckland be explained purely off Conservative voters bulking up the ranks of National and New Zealand First.
The answers surprised me. As you might imagine, there seems to be a pretty clear correlation that generally shows that in electorates where the Conservatives did well in 2014, then those electorates managed to contribute more to the overall party vote totals of National and New Zealand First than they did in 2014.
And bare in mind that this is off preliminary results from 2014 and 2017, so I'm trying to compare apples with apples as much is possible across two elections.
In case you can't expand the above image, the light blue line is the share of the party vote that the Conservatives received in each electorate in 2014. The dark blue and grey lines is the percentage change of how those electorates contributed to National and New Zealand First's overall party vote in 2017 compared to 2014. If the lines jut out to the right it means that electorate has contributed a greater share to the party's overall party vote than it did in 2014. If it's to the left, it contributed less overall. Where I'd earlier just looked at individual electorates in isolation, this allows us to compare electorates within the context of the overall party vote. So I'll dig more into this later.
As you can see in the above image (if you need a bigger version feel free to contact me) where the Conservatives got over 4.47% of the party vote in an electorate in 2014 (that's Waitaki in the above) there appears to have been enough support transferred to National and New Zealand First in 2017 to shore up their support.
As New Zealand First needed fewer of those Conservative votes in each electorate to prop up their party vote numbers, I have to wonder if there was a bit of a churn cycle going on as National sought to replace the support it was losing to Labour. This cycle would see Conservative voters largely going to New Zealand First and some to National, but New Zealand First shedding voters towards National, especially in the large rural or provincial city electorates where National made a big push during the campaign.
Where the Conservatives got 4.47% they generally don't seem to have had enough votes to protect National or New Zealand First. Notable at the bottom of the list are Wellington Central, Auckland Central, and Mt Albert, all places that were in the top 10 locations that Labour grew its party vote relative to 2014.
Where things start to get interesting too is that this highlights the importance of National's performance in West and South Auckland outside of just collecting former Conservative and New Zealand First voters. Looking at the top 10 electorates where National grew it's share of the party vote relative to 2014, only Botany and Pakuranga sit above that tipping point where the number of Conservative voters was high enough to protect National and New Zealand First.
What's also worth noting about all of those electorates is that they have some of the worst voter turnout rates - if not the worst - in the country. It means that not only did National manage to capitalise on Labour's weaknesses with ethnic communities and potentially the mortgage belt in Auckland, but also Labour simply was not able to turn out voters with nearly all of those electorates down in total votes in the 2017 preliminary results compared to 2014 (only Botany and Te Atatu recorded more preliminary votes) which seems incredible when you consider that there should be more people living in those electorates relative to 2014!
There's a few outliers in the data. New Zealand First's Clutha-Southland performance for one, which I suspect is driven by other, more recent events in that electorate, while Northland and Whangarei were likely driven by the presence of Winston Peters and Shane Jones respectively.
That's enough for now! Will churn through some more insights from this dataset soon hopefully. And obviously I'll try to re-run this analysis to to compare the final results from 2014 with the final results from 2017.

But in the third round with the 88th overall selection, Foles was taken by the Philadelphia Eagles, where he'll compete with Trent Edwards and Mike Kafka for options behind Mike Vick.
Foles, at 6-foot-5, 243 pounds was the seventh quarterback taken in the draft behind Stanford's Andrew Luck (No. 1 overall), Baylor's Robert Griffin III (No 2), Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill (No. 8), Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden (No. 22), Osweiler (No. 57), and Wisconsin's Russell Wilson (No. 75).

"You'll like his size, Mel Kiper," said ESPN analyst Jon Gruden. He added that Foles, while not the most mobile or quick, "has functional movement in the pocket."
Fellow ESPN draft expert Todd McShay said that Foles, who got hit often behind a young offensive line last season for the 4-8 Wildcats, was the best of the seven quarterbacks he rated when hurried and under pressure from opposing defenses.
I'm and Eagle!!!! So honored to be apart of such a great organization!

Foles becomes the first Arizona quarterback drafted in 50 years, as Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen wrote this week.
It appears the Eagles put a good amount of research in Foles. They were one of the few teams to work out the Wildcats' all-time leading passer.

NEW - My most recent piece is at the mold maker and the first casting should be out of the foundry late March. It is a Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. These 400-500 pound rams are famous for their large curled horns. They have good eyesight which aids in jumping, gaining footholds and observing surrounding areas for predators. If the ram's horns get too big he will rub off the ends (called "brooming" ) to keep them from interfering with his vision.

Delightfully queer Museum of Broadway opens in New York
This New York museum is full of interactive queer exhibits including some social progressive plays that changed the trajectory of theatre.
Theatre 22 December, 2022 . Written by Nicole Lee.

Calling all queer theatre lovers! New York City recently opened the Museum of Broadway and it has loads of LGBTQ+ exhibits and installations.
Located in the heart of the famous Times Square, the Museum of Broadway is the first permanent museum dedicated to sharing the history of Broadway. It incorporates visual story-telling experiences that allows museum goers to explore the original set designs in an immersive experience that includes music, art, and a breadth of historical information.
The 26,000-square-foot space was developed by co-founders Julie Boardman and Diane Nicoletti who described the self-guided experience as "Instagrammable and immersive". Guests are encouraged to take photos and videos as they explore the four floors of exhibits which incorporate projections, original costumes, and soundtracks in every room.
The museum uses art and technology to tell the story of Broadway's history. The team recruited artists, designers, and historians to tell stories that are fun and educational and include pieces from not-for-profit organisations like Broadway Cares and The Al Hirschfeld Foundation.
The theatre community is full of legendary LGBTQ+ artists, moments and music and the Museum of Broadway honours several of these including 'I Am What I Am' – a queer tribute to love and family created by Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein. Furthermore, You do not live in America. No such place exists. is an exhibit recognising Tony Kushner's Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. It reveals the painful impact of the AIDS epidemic featuring real-life historical figures.
The museum also recognises all the behind-the-scenes jobs that go into creating a Broadway show. The Making of a Broadway Show exhibit takes visitors on a behind-the-scenes journey so they can see everything that goes into creating a big-budget production, and show-specific exhibits include everything from classics like Oklahoma! and West Side Story to contemporary plays with a cult following like Wicked and Hamilton.
The museum is being praised for honouring plays that are known for pushing creative boundaries, challenging social norms, and paving the way for future entertainment. In talking about the museum, L. Morgan Lee, the first openly transgender actor to be nominated for a Tony Award said: "There are so many voices who are missing in these spaces, who we know are live and vibrant and happening, but haven't had an opportunity to be seen on Broadway…There's a lot of stories that'd be fantastic to be on the walls here that haven't had that privilege to have a producer behind it. I'm really excited to see what the walls of this building will look like in five years."
Tickets to the must-see museum start at $39 and a portion of each sale will be donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

D8 FINALS: Centreville completes unbeaten season, shutting out Ubly for first state title
By: MATTHEW B. MOWERY, January 22, 2021, 1:15 pm
DETROIT — For a team that doesn't pass the ball much at all, the Centreville Bulldogs were certainly willing to wing it around in Friday's Division 8 title game, as long as it let them control the clock and keep Ubly's offense off the field.
Bulldogs senior quarterback Sam Todd contributed 201 total yards and accounted for all three touchdowns — two through the air to Tyler Swanwick — as the Bulldogs knocked off Ubly, 22-0, for the program's first-ever state title.
Todd rushed 19 times for 71 yards, including a 1-yard run to give the Bulldogs (11-0) the lead in the second quarter. Mason Lemings ran in the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead with 5:25 left in the first half.
Todd also completed 6 of 7 passes for 130 yards and a pair of scores, the first to Swanwick with three seconds left in the first half. Todd ran in the 2-pointer for a 16-0 lead at the break. The two hooked up for a 12-yard touchdown pass with 4:07 left in the third, putting the Bulldogs up 22-0 after a failed 2-point pass attempt.
Centreville allowed just 29 points all season long, posting eight shutouts. The most points they gave up all season was 14 in an 18-point win over two-time defending D8 champion Reading in the district title game.
Ubly all-stater Carson Heleski had 67 yards on 11 carries for the Bearcats (9-3), but Centreville held a 286-142 advantage in total offense, and nearly a 12-minute advantage in time of possession. Ubly's best drive came to start the second half, covering 53 yards in 15 plays, and taking 8:41 off the clock, but ended in a Tristan McElroy interception in the end zone.

Artist creates giant sculpture of the iconic Angel of the North on beach
31 December 2020, 1:41 pm ·1-min read
A retired GP turned artist has created an exact replica of the iconic Angel of the North - on a BEACH.
Claire Eason, 55, used a garden rake to mark out the drawing to the exact measurements of Antony Gormley's famous statue.
Measuring 20m (65ft) by 54m (177ft), the Angel of the North dominates the skyline in Gateshead overlooking Newcastle.
Claire, who worked as a GP in Worksop, Notts., for 30 years before relocating to the North East to pursue her passion for art, said: "I have always been fascinated by the Angel.
"It's the first thing you see when you drive past Newcastle and to many northerners it's a symbol that you're home."
Claire waited for a clear crisp day over Christmas to replicate the famous sculpture on Beadnell Bay Beach 50 miles from the real Angel.
The mother-of-two added: "I made sure my beach replica was exactly the same dimensions as the real thing and I'm delighted with the end result.
"People don't always know what on earth I'm doing on a beach with my rake until they see my work on Facebook."

Paston Letters
Middle English Literature | Paston Letters | Introduction | Texts | Essays | Web Links | Bookstore | Discussion Forum
THE PASTON LETTERS, an invaluable collection of letters and papers, consisting of the correspondence of members of the Paston family, and others connected with them, between the years 1422 and 1509, and also including some state papers and other important documents.
The bulk of the letters and papers were sold by William Paston, 2nd Earl of Yarmouth, the last representative of the family, to the antiquary Peter Le Neve early in the 18th century. On Le Neve's death in 1729 they came into the possession of Thomas Martin of Palgrave, who married his widow; and upon Martin's death in 1771 they were purchased by John Worth, a chemist at Diss, whose executors sold them three years later to John Fenn of East Dereham. In 1787 Fenn published a selection of the letters in two volumes, and general interest was aroused by this publication. In 1789 Fenn published two other volumes of letters, and when he died in 1794 he had prepared for the press a fifth volume, which was published in 1823 by his nephew, Serjeant Frere. In 1787 Fenn had received a knighthood, and on this occasion, the 23rd of May, he had presented the originals of his first two volumes to King George III. These manuscripts soon disappeared, and the same fate attended the originals of the three other volumes.
In these circumstances it is not surprising that some doubt should have been cast upon the authenticity of the letters. In 1865 their genuineness was impugned by Herman Merivale in the Fortnightly Review; but it was vindicated on grounds of internal evidence by James Gairdner in the same periodical; and within a year Gairdner's contention was established by the discovery of the originals of Fenn's fifth volume, together with other letters and papers, by Serjeant Frere's son, Philip Frere, in his house at Dungate, Cambridgeshire. Ten years later the originals of Fenn's third and fourth volumes, with ninety-five unpublished letters, were found at Roydon Hall, Norfolk, the seat of George Frere, the head of the Frere family; and finally in 1889 the originals of the two remaining volumes were discovered at Orwell Park, Ipswich, the residence of Captain E. G. Pretyman. This latter batch of papers are the letters which were presented to George III, and which possibly reached Orwell through Sir George Pretyman Tomline (1750-1827), the tutor and friend of William Pitt.
The papers which had been in the hands of Sir John Fenn did not, however, comprise the whole of the Paston letters which were extant. When the 2nd Earl of Yarmouth died in 1732 other letters and documents relating to the Pastons were found at his seat, Oxnead Hall, and some of these came into the hands of the Rev. Francis Blomefield, who failed to carry out a plan to unite his collection with that of Martin. This section of the letters was scattered in various directions, part being acquired by the antiquary John Ives. The bulk of the Paston letters and documents are now in the British Museum; but others are at Orwell Park; in the Bodleian Library, Oxford; at Magdalen College, Oxford; and a few at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Fenn's edition of the Paston Letters held the field until 1872, when James Gairdner published the first volume of a new edition. Taking Fenn's work as a basis, the aim of the new editor was to include all the letters which had come to light since this publication, and in his careful and accurate work in three volumes (London, 1872-1875) he printed over four hundred letters for the first time. Gairdner's edition, with notes and index, also contained a valuable introduction to each volume, including a survey of the reign of Henry VI; and he was just completing his task when the discovery of 1875 was made at Roydon. An appendix gave particulars of this discovery, and the unpublished letters were printed as a supplement to subsequent editions. In 1904 a new and complete edition of the Paston Letters was edited by Gairdner, and these six volumes, containing 1088 letters and papers, possess a very valuable introduction, which is the chief authority on the subject.
The family of Paston takes its name from a Norfolk village about twenty miles north of Norwich, and the first member of the family about whom anything is known was living in this village early in the 15th century. This was one Clement Paston (d. 1419), a peasant, holding and cultivating about one hundred acres of land, who gave an excellent education to his son William, and enabled him to study law. Making good use of his opportunities, William Paston (1378-1444), who is described as "a right cunning man in the law," attained an influential position in his profession, and in 1429 became a Justice of the Common Pleas. He bought a good deal of land in Norfolk, including some in Paston, and improved his position by his marriage with Agnes (d. 1479), daughter and heiress of Sir Edmund Berry of Harlingbury, Hertfordshire. Consequently when he died he left a large and valuable inheritance to John Paston (1421-1466), the eldest of his five sons, who was already married to Margaret (d. 1484), daughter of John Mauteby of Mauteby.
At this time England was in a very distracted condition [see Wars of the Roses]. A weak king surrounded by turbulent nobles was incapable of discharging the duties of government, and only the strong man armed could hope to keep his goods in peace. A lawyer like his father, Paston spent much time in London, leaving his wife to look after his business in Norfolk; and many of the Letters were written by Margaret to her husband, detailing the progress of affairs in the county. It is during the lifetimes of John Paston and his eldest son that the Letters are most numerous and valuable, not only for family matters, but also for the history of England. In 1448 Paston's manor of Gresham was seized by Robert Hungerford, Lord Moleyns (1431-1464), and although it was afterwards recovered, the owner could obtain no redress for the loss and injury he had sustained.
More serious troubles, however, were at hand. Paston had become very intimate with the wealthy knight, Sir John Fastolf, who was probably related to his wife, and who had employed him on several matters of business. In 1459 Sir John died without children, leaving his affairs in rather a tangled condition. In accordance with the custom of the time, he had conveyed many of his estates in Norfolk and Suffolk to trustees, among whom were John Paston and his brother William, retaining the revenues for himself, and probably intending his trustees after his death to devote the property to the foundation of a college. However, it was found that a few days before his decease Fastolf had executed a fresh will in which he had named ten executors, of whom two only, John Paston and another, were to act; and, moreover, that he had bequeathed all his lands in Norfolk and Suffolk to Paston, subject only to the duty of founding the college at Caister, and paying 4000 marks to the other executors.
At once taking possession of the lands, Paston soon found his rights challenged. Various estates were claimed by different noblemen; the excluded executors were angry and aggressive; and Paston soon found himself in a whirlwind of litigation, and exposed also to more violent methods of attack. Something, like a regular warfare was waged around Drayton and Hellesdon, between John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, and the Pastons under Margaret and her eldest son, John; Caister Castle was seized by John Mowbray, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (d. 1461); and similar occurrences took place elsewhere. Some compensation, doubtless, was found in the fact that in 1460, and again in 1461, Paston had been returned to parliament as a knight of the shire for Norfolk, and enjoying the favour of Edward IV, had regained his castle at Caister. But the royal favour was only temporary, and, having been imprisoned on three occasions, Paston died in May 1466, leaving the suit concerning Fastolf's will still proceeding in the church courts.
John Paston left at least five sons, the two eldest of whom were, curiously enough, both named John, and the eldest of whom had been knighted during his father's lifetime. Sir John Paston (1442-1479) was frequently at the court of King Edward IV, but afterwards he favoured the Lancastrian party, and, with his brother John, fought for Henry VI at the Battle of Barnet. Meanwhile the struggle over Fastolf's estates continued, although in 1461 the king and council had decided that Paston's ancestors were not bondmen, and consequently that his title to his father's lands was good. Caister Castle was taken after a regular siege by John Mowbray, 4th Duke of Norfolk (1444-1476), and then recovered by the Pastons, and retaken by the Duke. But in 1474 an arrangement was made with William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, the representative of the excluded executors, by which some of the estates were surrendered to the bishop for charitable purposes, while Paston was secured in the possession of others.
Two years later the opportune death of the Duke of Norfolk paved the way for the restoration of Caister Castle; but in 1478 a fresh quarrel broke out with the Duke of Suffolk. Sir John, who was a cultured man, had shown great anxiety to recover Caister; but in general he had left the conduct of the struggle to his mother and to the younger John. Owing to his carelessness and extravagance the family lands were also diminished by sales; but nevertheless when he died unmarried in November 1479 he left a goodly inheritance to his brother John. About this time the Letters begin to be scanty and less interesting, but the family continued to flourish. The younger John Paston (d. 1503), after quarrelling with his uncle William over the manors of Oxnead and Marlingford, was knighted at the Battle of Stoke in 1487. He married Margery, daughter of Sir Thomas Brews, and left a son, William Paston (c. 1479-1554), who was also knighted, and who was a prominent figure at the court of Henry VIII. Sir William's second son, Clement (c. 15151 597), served his country with distinction on the sea, and was wounded at the battle of Pinkie.
The family was continued by Sir William's eldest son, Erasmus (d. 1540), whose son William succeeded to his grandfather's estates in 1554, and to those of his uncle Clement in 1597. This William (1528-1610) was knighted in 1578. He was the founder of the Paston grammar-school at North Walsham, and made Oxnead Hall, near Norwich, his principal residence. Christopher Paston was Sir William's son and heir, and Christopher's grandson, William (d. 1663), was created a baronet in 1642; being succeeded in the title by his son Robert (1631-1683), who was a member of parliament from 1661 to 1673, and was created Earl of Yarmouth in 1679. Robert's son William (1652-1732), who married a natural daughter of Charles II, was the second Earl, and, like his father, was in high favour with the Stuarts. When he died in 1732 he left no son, and his titles became extinct, his estates being sold to discharge his debts.
The perturbed state of affairs revealed by the Paston Letters reflects the general condition of England during the period. It was a time of trouble. The weakness of the government had disorganized every branch of the administration; the succession to the crown itself was contested; the great nobles lived in a state of civil war; and the prevailing discontent found expression in the rising of Jack Cade and in the Wars of the Roses. The correspondence reveals the Pastons in a great variety of relations to their neighbours, friendly or hostile; and abounds with illustrations of the course of public events, as well as of the manners and morals of the time. Nothing is more remarkable than the habitual acquaintance of educated persons, both men and women, with the law, which was evidently indispensable to persons of substance.
