UNESCO Announces International Day of Light!
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced its intention to proclaim an annual International Day of Light at their meeting on November 2017. The first celebration will take place on 16 May 2018. Both OSA and SPIE support the event... read more.
The International Year of Light 2015 Final Report is also available on the OSSC website.
January 30, 2015: A consortium led by the University of Southern California is among three finalists selected by the US Department of Defense (DOD) to submit full proposals to secure the Integrated Photonics Institute for Manufacturing Innovation. Other finalists include consortiums led by University of Central Florida and the Research Foundation for the State University of New York. The National Photonics Initiative (NPI), a collaborative alliance seeking to raise awareness of photonics and increase US funding and investment in key photonics-driven fields, released a press release commending the three consortiums. NPI is not endorsing a specific IP-IMI proposal but is strongly committed to supporting the DOD's ultimate selection. Several Individual and Corporate Members of the OSSC actively support the USC-led consortium.
In 2012, The U.S. National Academy of Sciences' Harnessing Light Committee of the National Research Council released a landmark report – Optics & Photonics: Essential Technologies for Our Nation. The study considered the current state of optical sciences and made recommendations for future research and policies intended to advance the optics and photonics discipline. Among the key recommendations is the creation of a National Photonics Initiative (NPI) -- a partnership between government, academia and industry to focus attention and funding photonics research and development.
The October 2014 meeting Optical Society of Southern California assembled a panel of four academic and industry exports to review the NPI and the potential impact to the Southern California optics and photonics community. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, from the 48th District, was the keynote speaker and presented his view of the NPI at the meeting. Over 100 OSSC members and friends attended the event.
Presentations from the meeting are available in our documents archive using the link below.
On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). The initiative unites the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with a large consortium of scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and private sector partners including the OSSC.
Among the missions of IYL 2015, is educating the public about light and light based technologies. The Optical Society of Southern California will join the celebration and contribute to the IYL 2015 during some of our meetings and events in 2015.
Give a presentation to a service group, classroom, youth group,or peer group, using ready-built slides.

Americana, Middle East operator of KFC and Pizza Hut outlets, climbs post $1.8 billion IPO

The Middle Eastern operator of KFC and Pizza Hut outlets climbed in its debut after raising $1.8 billion in an initial public offering, pulling off the first-ever dual listing in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
Americana Restaurants International Plc gained 13 per cent in Abu Dhabi to 2.95 dirhams and rose 6.7 per cent in Riyadh to 2.86 riyals on Monday. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Dubai businessman Mohamed Alabbar had sold 2.5 billion shares in Americana for 2.62 dirhams each, or 2.68 riyals.

Americana's listing is the biggest in Saudi Arabia in 2022, a year already marked by a flurry of such offerings in the Middle East as the region attempts to deepen its capital markets. The IPO, which drew orders worth $105 billion, is the third-biggest in the United Arab Emirates.
Saudi Arabia's Tadawul stock exchange has been encouraging firms for years to dual list, but none had done so before Americana. The successful deal is likely to set precedent for others.
The Middle East's boom stands in sharp contrast to most other markets, where IPOs have slumped sharply because of concerns over soaring inflation and rising interest rates, coupled with recession risks in the US and Europe. Gulf IPOs are on track to raise more than $20 billion this year "- that would have been an annual record if it weren't for 2019 when Aramco had its $29.4 billion IPO.
First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and SNB Capital were joint global coordinators for Americana's IPO, while HSBC Holdings Plc and EFG Hermes were joint bookrunners.

Get double Pokémon Go XP and Stardust during its Thanksgiving event
Niantic wants to thank players for helping build a community of active gamers
Thanksgiving is an almost uniquely American holiday (OK, Canada has its own one, too) while Pokémon is a global phenomenon. Combine the two, and you get Pokémon Go's next public event - and it'll be active worldwide.
The event, which runs from November 23 to 30, starting and ending at midnight UTC, is intended to give "a special thanks to players" for their support of the mobile game so far.
How Niantic conquered the world with Pokémon Go
"It has been an incredible experience since we launched Pokémon Go a few short months ago in July. We are passionate about creating experiences that encourage exploration and promote exercise," Niantic said in a blog post. "We are humbled that hundreds of millions of you around the world have joined us on this journey. So we would like to say thank you - and what better way to say thank you than to celebrate our community."
Similarly to the earlier Halloween update, players who log on during the event will earn double the amount of XP and Stardust when completing in-game actions.
Niantic doesn't specify what those activities are, but it seems safe to presume it won't be introducing anything new for the promotion, beyond the familiar exploration, battling, and capturing. It's also unclear if the double XP and Stardust - used to evolve Pokémon in-game - stacks on top of the recently introduced daily bonuses.
It's just a shame Pokémon Go is still based solely on the first generation Pokémon - being able to catch Pumpkaboo or Unfezant would certainly fit the Thanksgiving theme.

And now for some various Regency-era nuptial announcements from La Belle Assemblée or, Bell's Court and Fashionable Magazine Addressed Particularly to the Ladies .
It is remarkable that a similar instance took place in the same parish about twenty years ago, when the minister married the clerk's widow.
The Honorable Colonel Seymour to Lady Charlotte Cholmondeley, daughter of the Marquis of Cholmondeley; his Lordship on the happy occasion gave a grand entertainment to His Highness, the Prince Regent, and a large party of distinguished personages…The lovely bride's dress was a white satin slip, covered with rich point lace; headdress feathers and diamonds.
Featured in Ackerman's Repository, June 1 1819, this costume consists of a white satin slip covered with white transparent gauze to fashion a round morning dress, courtesy of Miss Pierpoint, Dressmaker, No. 9 Henrietta Street in Covent Garden.

"He was obliged to be drawn to the altar in a cart." 🙂 Too funny. One wonders why he wanted to marry at all. Unless his reasons were similar to those of the cheap old grandfather in one of Georgette Heyer's novels (can't remember which one!) who married his housekeeper so he would no longer have to bear the expense of paying her a wage.
Was it Kitty Charing's old "uncle" Penicuik who married her governess, Miss Fishguard, in Cotillion? Not sure if that's the one you're thinking of, but your comment reminds me of these hilarious pairings in Heyer novels.
That was one of them, definitely, but I think there was a short story in Pistols for Two that I was thinking of. Can't remember which one except that when the dependent ward or granddaughter arrived, the elderly fellow had just married his housekeeper/cook and she was already spending his money on a new bonnet.
I won't lie…the dinnerware photo lured me in but the wedding announcements kept me in stitches, Angie! I'm a fool to have been absent so long!
Yes, you have been absent too long–your posts always have me in stitches! Please keep them coming.

Värner Rydenskolan middle school in Malmö. Photo: Johan Nilsson / TT.
School in Malmö closed after threats and violence
Published söndag 1 mars 2015 kl 13.52
The situation at Värner Rydénskolan school in Malmö has become too dangerous for students and staff. Now the safety committee of the teachers' union has decided to close the middle school in the Rosengård neighborhood because of violence and criminality.
"The safety of students at the school can not be guaranteed. The students behave in classrooms but outside during recess and in the recreational room it is a very disruptive situation and there are a lot of conflicts," Catharina Niwhede, the district's director of the teachers' union in Malmö, told Swedish Radio News.
The ball is now in the court of the administration, because the school closing can only be ended by the Swedish Work Environment Authority.
The approximately 200 affected middle school students have been informed of the situation. But it is still unclear what will happen with them.
According to the union, the situation began to become untenable after another school, Örtagårdsskolan, was closed last autumn, which led to many students from that school being placed in Värner Rydenskolan.
The acting education chief for Malmö city, Hans Nilsson, told news agency TT that representatives on the school board had already attempted to work out the situation with the principal and staff to see what solution could be found. But the situation was so critical that the school was closed down.
"Certain groups of students were so disruptive that the teachers could not handle it," Nilsson said.
Malmö city is now going to hire a security company to make the school safer. Staff will even receive help with security routines and conflict resolution.
Nilsson also said that some students may be expelled from the school, or moved to different schools.

However, if you're a more casual sports fan or a supporter of an out-of-market team, cord cutting is still a worthwhile option. Sling TV—assuming it can hold up under the strain of future events—will give you ESPN and ESPN 2 in addition to a handful of basic cable channels for $20 a month, and for another $5 you can get even more sports options, including ESPN U, ESPNEWS, and the SEC Network. Add in an indoor TV antenna and you'll also have access to network sports.
While DirecTV Now is more for the type of customer who is looking to replace their cable service, AT&T WatchTV is more like Philo. You shouldn't look at it as a replacement for all of your live TV needs. Instead, look at it as a supplement to on-demand streaming services like Netflix. If you're mainly a binge watcher but want the occasional bit of live TV, WatchTV might be for you. Throw in an HD antenna and you've got a pretty good setup.
The hardware is nice, even though it's a bit bigger than other similar devices. The remote is also quite good, acting as a minimal, Apple TV-like remote on one side with a mini keyboard on the other. The keyboard makes a huge difference, but doesn't feel like it makes the remote overly complicated. If I had one complaint, it's that the keyboard is a little hard to type on—especially because it requires you to hold down Alt or Shift to get numbers or capital letters, unlike similar keyboards you'd find on phones. It's just a little off-putting at first. But overall, the remote is really great.
CBS All Access ($5.99/mo. or $59.99/yr. with commercials; $9.99/mo. or $99.99/yr. without): There are several basic cable and major broadcast channels moving into this arena, too, looking to lure customers with exclusive content. CBS has been making the boldest moves here, packaging a library of new and old CBS shows alongside in-demand original series like "Star Trek: Discovery." CBS All Access also allows for live-streaming of your local CBS affiliate (with some restrictions based on market, program and/or device).
The New Republic writer James Kirchick accused the network of "often virulent anti-Americanism, worshipful portrayal of Russian leaders."[212] Edward Lucas wrote in The Economist (quoted in Al Jazeera English) that the core of RT was "anti-Westernism."[185] Julia Ioffe wrote "Often, it seemed that Russia Today was just a way to stick it to the U.S. from behind the façade of legitimate newsgathering."[12] Shaun Walker wrote in The Independent that RT "has made a name for itself as a strident critic of US policy."[213] Allesandra Stanley wrote in The New York Times that RT is "like the Voice of America, only with more money and a zesty anti-American slant."[61] David Weigel writes that RT goes further than merely creating distrust of the United States government, to saying, in effect: "You can trust the Russians more than you can trust those bastards."[45]
All of these will allow you to watch content on your TV, by the way, so don't worry about having to watch anything on a computer screen. We'll cover devices in Part II, but first, let's talk a bit about each of these three types of content-replacement techniques and what they have to offer you. We'll work through them in the same order that we listed them in that bullet list above.
Approximately 10 percent of American TV patrons have canceled cable TV to reduce household costs, and statistics show the number of people cutting the cable cord doubles every year. If you are tired of surfing through hundreds of channels and paying high subscription fees, examine your current TV usage, buy a streaming device and opt for media streaming from your TV or computer.
On June 11, 1998, News Corporation sold TV Guide to Prevue Networks parent United Video Satellite Group for $800 million and 60 million shares of stock worth an additional $1.2 billion (this followed an earlier merger attempt between the two companies in 1996 that eventually fell apart).[13][14][15] At midnight on February 1, 1999, the Prevue Channel was officially renamed to the "TV Guide Channel," and new graphics were implemented. With the rebranding, the hourly segments featured on the channel were revamped, with some being retitled after features in TV Guide magazine – including TV Guide Close-Up (which profiled a select program airing that night), TV Guide Sportsview (which maintained the same format as Prevue Sports, making the segment more similar in format to the listings section's sports guide than the color column of that name in the magazine), and TV Guide Insider (a segment featuring behind-the-scenes interviews).
Price: The basic plan, Live A Little, has over 60 channels for $35/month. The Just Right plan has over 80 channels for $50/month. The Go Big plan has over 100 channels for $60/month. And finally, the Gotta Have It plan has over 120 channels (what) for $70/month. Kinda pricey, but damn, having that many choices sounds nice. There's also a Spanish plan, Todo Y Mas, with over 90 channels for $45/month.
I have been using "No subscription required" for three months. It's amazing to watch brand new movies for nothing. On the down side of it, I have lost Microsoft xp in the process. I use Linux on the other side so, I have been doing all my email and all with Linux. I don't know whether "No subscription required" is safe or not. I am about to take my computer in for repair obviously and, I was told it might be because of this site. That would be a shame. Most of the movies are first run. But most of all, they are for free! I guess something has to give afterall.
Because Vue allows you to watch on up to 5 devices at the same time, the whole family can watch exactly what they want to. This is why we recommend Vue to families and large households with roommates. You can stream FOX News and the rest of the channels you love on streaming players like your PS3 or PS4 consoles, Amazon Fire TV, Roku (Vue is a great way to watch live TV on Roku), Apple TV, or Chromecast. They also offer iOS and Android apps, but there are some limitations with those. Your PlayStation Vue account is tied to your home network, so streaming while on the go is restricted. Even with the mobile apps, what you can watch away from home will be limited.
Depending on the range of viewing habits, some people will have to utilize more of the below options than others. If you decide to cancel your cable subscription, you're more likely going to have to subscribe to several different services to access all of the shows that you want. For some, this might not actually save money, which is usually the purpose of cutting the cord. Before making any decisive actions, first see if you can utilize our tips for saving money on your existing subscription.
Here's where it all begins: You're sick of paying an exorbitant cable or satellite bill, and you have a strong sense that if you just limited your spending to a few streaming subscription services, you would be much more satisfied with your home entertainment experience. So let's say that you already have a good TV, a speedy internet connection and a set-top box. (If you don't, we'll get to that later.) Who gets your money?
Video is watched on the desktop via the included app, or is sent over the home network and played full screen through a connected device. In our case that means the Xbox 360, Nexus tablet, Fire TV, Samsung Galaxy Smartphone or Chromecast connected to our 50″ Plasma TV. We can control playback via a smartphone or tablet via the PlayOn app. We can watch our shows on whatever devices we want!
Consensus: If you're trying to spend the least amount possible and are content with the 30-ish channels that Sling Orange offers, then only paying $20 a month is a sweet deal for you — and is a low price you won't find on most other streaming services. However, if you're thinking about opting for Sling's most expensive package, we'd suggest going with DirecTV's basic plan instead. You'll get a few more channels (over 60) and will be paying $5 less per month.
Hulu and CBS All Access are the best places to start here, with Netflix as a potential add-on. You also may want to invest in an antenna to see if you can pick up a local channel that carries MeTV or a similar retro television service. Also, since the Philo live TV service has Nickelodeon and TV Land (and is super-cheap, starting at a bare-bones package for $16 a month), it might be worth subscribing to that as well.
You're going to start seeing products touting the next-generation HDMI connection, called 2.1. This is a huge leap forward in terms of bandwidth, capable of up to 8K resolutions and beyond. There will be new cables needed to handle these higher resolutions, called Ultra High Speed, but unless you're buying an 8K TV, you don't need them. Actually, even if you are buying an 8K TV, you probably don't need them.
I just wanted to say that this is an awesome site with very valuable information. I dumped our cable three months ago and faced almost getting thrown out of the house (not really) because my family was so attached to cable. Our finances were on the decline and we needed to save and cut back so I investigated the possibility of getting rid of cable, and I'm so glad we did. There are sooooo many different ligit sites to use to watch television shows, movies, documentaries, almost anything you like without paying a dime. The only problem I'm facing is providing enough sports for my husband who is a huge sports fan. He is currently watching ESPN 3 but that's a little limiting from what he says. The crazy thing is that he's dealing with it because he knows how much money we're saving each month. Our cable bill was $174.00 a month, can you believe we were foolish enough to pay that much and had paid it for over 5 years. I'm ashamed to do the math to see how much money we threw away. Could have paid for a couple of family vacations.
DirecTV is another service with high channels counts and multiple package tiers. Like PS Vue, it's close to the experience you'll get with cable or satellite when it comes to available channels. In August 2018, DirecTV Now took a major leap forward for football fans, adding the NFL Network to several of its base packages. While competitors like Sling TV and PlayStation Vue have offered the NFL Network for some time, it was one of just a few key channels missing from a service known for its channel count. Subscribers of the Just Right package and above now have the channel, meaning it's only missing from the $40-per-month Live a Little package.

I'm sorry that you are disgusted, but I understand why you are wary. Keep in mind that some of these options let you try their services for free before you commit to anything. Also, if you have a few friends, as most people do, there's a possibility one or more of them is already using one of these cable alternatives. Why not ask around to see if any of them do? That would give you the opportunity to receive a review from someone you know and trust to tell you how things really are. I wish you luck and encourage you not to give up on finding a replacement for cable.

Abu-Jamal, Mumia
April Taylor
Born Wesley Cook in Philadelphia, Mumia Abu-Jamal was a political activist from adolescence. At the age of fourteen he was arrested and beaten for demonstrating against segregationist presidential candidate George Wallace. He was a founding member of the Philadelphia chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 and worked on the party's newspaper in California during the summer of 1970.
Returning to Philadelphia, Abu-Jamal became a radio journalist with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and had his own talk show on station WUHY. He was highly critical of Philadelphia's police department and of the city's "law and order" mayor, Frank Rizzo. He provided coverage of the police treatment of MOVE, a Philadelphia black militant group, which further alienated the authorities. Forced to leave his position as a journalist, Abu-Jamal took a job as a taxi driver.
While Abu Jamal was driving his cab on the ...
Todd Steven Burroughs
radical prison journalist and author. Mumia Abu-Jamal was born Wesley Cook in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a teenager in the 1960s he was attracted to the Black Panther Party (BPP). Cook—christened "Mumia" by one of his high school teachers—helped form the BPP's Philadelphia chapter in spring 1969 and became the chapter's lieutenant of information. He wrote articles for the Black Panther, the party's national newspaper, and traveled to several cities to perform BPP work. He left the party in the fall of 1970 because of the split between Eldridge Cleaver and Huey Newton.
After attending Goddard College in Plainfield Vermont Cook now calling himself Mumia Abu Jamal the surname is Arabic for father of Jamal Jamal being his firstborn returned to Philadelphia and began a radio broadcasting career in the early 1970s Abu Jamal was part of the first generation of black journalists to become professional newscasters for ...
Baker, Lena
Steven J. Niven
the first woman executed by electric chair in Georgia, was born in Cuthbert, Georgia, to Queenie Baker, a sharecropper, and a father whose name is unknown. Little is known about her early life. If typical of the African American experience in southwestern Georgia in the early 1900s Baker's childhood was probably one of long working hours and low expectations. Indeed, it was in the debt-ridden and desperate Georgia black belt of the early 1900s that W. E. B. Du Bois discovered the Negro problem in its naked dirt and penury Litwack 114 In an attempt to escape from that world of debt and desperation Baker began working at an early age at first helping her mother chop cotton for a neighboring white family the Coxes Like other black women in the community she also worked as a laundress and occasional domestic for white families in town Despite the legacy ...
Charles, Robert
emigrationist and militant, was born near Pine Bluffs in Copiah County, Mississippi, the fourth of ten children of Jasper Charles and Mariah (maiden name unknown), sharecroppers. Though Robert never lived under slavery, the exigencies of the crop-lien system ensured that his family remained heavily in debt to their landlord and to the local furnishing merchant.-Thus Jasper Charles could neither expand his holdings nor leave them. The family supplemented its-meager earnings by fishing and by hunting the bountiful small game to be found in the nearby pine forests. Although we know few details of Robert Charles's early life, it seems probable that he gained his proficiency with a rifle in the piney groves of Copiah County.
The adolescent Charles witnessed the erosion of African American citizenship rights that had been established during Reconstruction. His father was a loyal Republican and even sat on local juries throughout the 1870s. In 1883 ...
Duncan, Harry
John Garst
bootblack, barber, porter, actor, singer, and politician, was born William Henry Harrison Duncan in Columbia, Missouri, to former slaves. A close friend, Henry Massey, persuaded him to come to St. Louis, where he was a "sport, a jolly fellow, a swell dresser, a ladies' favorite, but, above all, he was a magnificent singer." As a member of Massey's Climax Quartet Duncan gained fame for his low, smooth, rich, sure, bass voice. He was also an actor and performed regularly at the London Theatre in St. Louis.
In Clayton, Missouri, west of St. Louis, Duncan was hanged for the murder of an Irish American policeman named James Brady in Charles Starkes's saloon at 715 N. 11th Street. A popular ballad complex ("Duncan and Brady," "Brady and Duncan," "Brady," "King Brady") arose after the murder.
At about 8:30 p.m. on 6 October 1890 ...
Goldsby, Crawford
Reginald H. Pitts
western outlaw, was born at Fort Concho, Texas, the second of four children of George and Ellen (Beck) Goldsby. Born a slave near Selma, Alabama, Crawford's father George Goldsby was serving a Confederate officer when he ran off to Union lines during the Battle of Gettysburg. When the Civil War ended, he enlisted in the Tenth U.S. Cavalry, eventually becoming that regiment's sergeant major. A Cherokee freedwoman, Ellen Beck was of African, white, and Cherokee ancestry; she also served as a laundress for the cavalrymen. Her marriage to George was not a success, and the couple would soon separate.
Although Crawford Goldsby according to some sources was barely literate from the age of seven he spent three years at the Indian School in Cherokee Kansas and from the age of ten he spent two years at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle Pennsylvania When Crawford returned home ...
Goldsby, Crawford (Cherokee Bill)
Kenneth Wiggins Porter
Crawford Goldsby was born on February 8, 1876, at Fort Concho, Texas. His father, Sergeant George Goldsby of the Tenth Cavalry, was a native of Selma, Alabama, and a soldier in a black regiment. George is alleged to have been "of Mexican extraction, mixed with white and Sioux Indian." His mother, Ellen Beck, was half black, one-quarter white, and one-quarter Cherokee. From infancy Crawford had limited parental guidance. When Crawford was only two years old, his father absconded to avoid trial for involvement in a fatal saloon shootout between white civilians and black troopers. His mother took her children to Fort Gibson, in the lawless Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). He spent three years at school in Cherokee, Kansas, and two more at the Carlisle, Pennsylvania, school for Native Americans, returning to the territory at the age of twelve. His mother had married a white man, William Lynch ...
Hodges, Jacob
Graham Russell Hodges
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to free but poor black parents, Hodges received no education in his early years and at the age of ten shipped out as a "waiting boy" on a schooner bound from Philadelphia to the West Indies. Over the next few years he visited many European ports. During the American Revolution a British warship forced his vessel into New York harbor; destitute, friendless, and illiterate, he wandered throughout the region before settling in Warwick, in Orange County, New York. His employer, a man named Jennings, had acquired much property through litigation, actions that prompted his legal victims to plot to kill him. The conspirators brought Hodges into the plot and took advantage of his intemperance, developed during his years as a seaman, to persuade him to perform the killing. On 21 December 1819 Hodges shot his master in the woods The bullet severely wounded Jennings ...
Horton, William R., Jr.
Nathan M. Corzine
convicted felon, was born in Chesterfield, South Carolina, the son of William Horton Sr., a city trash collector, and Sara Horton, a domestic worker. The Horton home was in constant upheaval, and Sara, Willie, and his two sisters suffered abuse at the hands of a father whose violent streak was exacerbated by alcohol and drug abuse. An older brother, Charles, had moved north to find industrial work in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and by the mid-1960s Sara and the girls had relocated to New York. Willie, by then a tall, muscular teen, remained in South Carolina and moved in with his grandparents. Already viewed as something of a troublemaker, Horton dropped out of Grady High School in order to pursue steady employment. Much of the rest of Horton's free life would be marred by violent, criminal outbursts.
Trouble marked his remaining years in South Carolina as he ...
an African American criminal whose fame lives in the ballad John Hardy, was hanged on the order of Judge T. L. Henritze in Welch, West Virginia, for the murder in January 1893 of Thomas Drews, also African American, at a camp of the Shawnee Coal Company near Eckman, McDowell County. He was convicted in Welch on 12 October 1893.
According to a 1925 statement by 67-year-old Lee Holley, a lifelong resident of Tazewell, Virginia, who claimed to have known Hardy well, he "was 27 or 8 when he was hung" (Chappell, 25). He may have been the John Hardy who was born in Virginia, was thirteen years old in 1880, and lived then in Glade Springs, Washington County, Virginia, with his parents, Miles and Malinda Hardy (U.S. Census, 1880 According to Holley he was one of a gang of gamblers about a half dozen ...
Michael X
David Dabydeen
Adopted name of Michael de Freitas (1933–1975), black revolutionary and civil rights activist in London. Michael X was born in Trinidad to a Portuguese father and Barbadian mother. He immigrated to London in 1957 and lived in the Notting Hill area. Before converting to Islam, Michael X, who was also known by the name of Michael Abdul Malik, was a pimp and a hustler, similar to his idol Malcolm X. He founded the Racial Adjustment Action Society and in 1967 became the first person to be imprisoned under England's Race Relations Act. Michael X's impulsive nature resulted in several convictions, among them an eighteen‐month jail sentence for advocating the shooting of black women who were seen in the company of white men. He argued for the congregation of Blacks in social communes. In 1969 he was given money to start a commune in Islington but ...
Timothy J. McMillan
enslaved man and farmer, was probably born in West Africa. He worked as a farmhand and slave in Massachusetts. A transcript of Pomp's dying confession, which survives as a one-page broadside, is the only source of information about his life, but one that provides rare insight into the life of an African American in New England in the days of the early republic.
How exactly Pomp came to America, and specifically Boston, is unclear, but he arrived as a baby along with both his parents. His father died soon after his arrival in Boston and Pomp was put into the service of a Mr. Abbot of Andover whether in slavery or indenture is not known Pomp remained with Mr Abbot until the age of sixteen at which time he was passed on to his master s son also referred to as Mr Abbot It was at this point ...
Rideau, Wilbert
journalist and prisoner, was born in Lawtell, Louisiana, to Gladys a and Rideau's family moved to Lake Charles, Louisiana, when he was six years old. His parents divorced before he became a teenager. He attended the Second Ward Elementary School, followed by the W.-O. Boston Colored High School until he dropped out.
Rideau worked a series of menial jobs from age thirteen to nineteen, when he was convicted of robbery and murder. On 16 February 1961, he robbed the Gulf National Bank. During thefourteen-thousand-dollar heist, he kidnapped three of the bank's white employees and killed one of them, Julia Ferguson, a forty-nine-year-old woman. An all-white, all-male jury convicted him and sentenced him to death that same year. He would be tried again by all-white, all-male juries in 1964 and in 1970 and he would remain in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola known nationally for being ...
Stagolee
John K. Bollard and Cecil Brown
the archetypal "bad man" of song, toast, and legend, was born Lee Shelton somewhere in Texas. Shortly after Shelton murdered William "Billy" Lyons in 1895, blues songs began to appear recounting the event, giving rise to the figure of Stagolee. Little is known about Shelton's origins and childhood except the name of his father, Nat Shelton The date of his birth is known only from his prison death certificate The elegant style of his signature in his arrest records suggests that he had some schooling Although he became the mythical Stagolee a bad mother who shot somebody just to see him die Lee Shelton was of ordinary stature Prison records describe him as being five feet seven and one half inches tall His hair and eyes are described as black his complexion as mulatto Under the column marks and scars the authorities listed the following L eft eye ...

Williams, Stanley "Tookie"
Ginny Crosthwait
cofounder of Los Angeles's Crips gang, author, Nobel Prize nominee, and antigang activist, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and moved to South Central Los Angeles in 1959, after his parents (names unknown) divorced. Gang rivalry was prevalent in the area, and Williams was intrigued by the thrilling stories he heard from older neighborhood boys who had served time in prison. As a teenager, he spent time in a variety of juvenile detention centers in California and Utah for drug use, fighting, and suspected burglary.
Back in South Central, Williams earned a reputation as an expert street fighter and, along with high school friend Raymond Lee Washington, founded the Crips in 1971 Although the Crips a derivative of crib was originally founded to protect and defend the members and their families from gang aggression it rapidly increased in membership and violent activity to rival the area s other ...
Williams, Wayne
Jason Philip Miller
convicted murderer and alleged serial killer, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Homer and Faye Williams, both schoolteachers. Williams attended Frederick Douglass High School, where he was an honors student, and matriculated to Georgia State University but soon dropped out.
Williams was known around his neighborhood as a bit of an oddball and a teller of tales, but his only run-in with law enforcement came as a teenager in a 1976 incident in which he was arrested for impersonating a police officer. The charges were later dropped. His employment history is spotty. Apparently, he fancied himself a kind of radio personality, though his broadcast booth was a room in his parents' Atlanta residence. He also did a bit of freelance photography and videography, using a police scanner to tip him to area accidents, which he then rushed to film.
In 1979 what are thought to be the ...

1899: George R. Davis Arrested

Concord Baptist Church. Courtesy Historic Buckingham.
In August 1899, Buckingham County resident George R. Davis was arrested in Washington D.C. charged with theft and with attempted murder of Arthur Baumgarten. According to the report in the Appomattox and Buckingham Times, Davis was an messenger for the Southern Express Company whose routes ran between Washington and Atlanta. The news article went on to explain Davis' impulsive behavior:
For some time valuable packages have been rifled while en route from Washington to the south, and the Pinkerton Detective arrested Davis. The latter was taken into the superintendent's office and was identified by Baumgarten as the "Mr. Smith" who had bought from him a seal of the express company. When confronted and accused, Davis said that he valued his character more than any man's life, and, pulling his pistol, he fired four shots in rapid succession, one of which vary slightly wounded Baumgarten in the finger. As his route lay in the District of Columbia and in four states, it is not known where Davis will be tried on the charges of theft, as no one except the thief — whether the accused or someone else — knows just where the robbery occurred.
A dispatch from Farmville says: George Robert Davis, who was under arrest in Washington, was born in Prince Edward county, and raised in Buckingham county, where his widowed mother, whose sole support he is, now resides.
He is descended from and closely related to one of the best families of Virginia and has ever been regarded a young man of exceptional qualities, modest and bearing, and sober, moral habits.
He is a member of Concorde (sic) Baptist church, Buckingham county.
His host of friends and relatives here refuse to believe that he is guilty as charged.
I have seen a letter written to his uncle here, in which he firmly states that he is innocent of the charges against him, other than attempting to shoot his accuser, which he did under the impulse of the moment.
Does a Slate River Ramblings reader know what became of George R. Davis and to which Buckingham County Davis family he belongs? If so please comment below.

Professor Sugata Mitra
Professor of Educational Technology
Role of Technology and Education in a Sustainable Society
Self Organised Learning Environments
Youth, Education and Social Transformation
FutureInnovationLeadershipTeamworkTechnologyScience
Prof. Sugata Mitra's current work is on the Internet and children's learning. He retired in 2019 as Professor and Principal Research Investigator in the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University, UK.
He conducted the Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiment, where in the year 1999 a computer was embedded within a wall in an Indian slum at Kalkaji, Delhi and children were allowed to freely use it. The experiment aimed at proving that kids could be taught computers very easily without any formal training. Sugata termed this as Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). The experiment has since been repeated at many places. He is the recipient of many awards from India, the UK, USA and many other countries in the world.
His interests include Children's Education, Remote Presence, Self-organising systems, Cognitive Systems, Physics and Consciousness. The Hole in the Wall experiment has left a mark on popular culture. Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup read about Mitra's experiment and was inspired to write his debut novel that went on to become the Oscar winning movie of 2009 - Slumdog Millionaire. He is a PHD in Physics credited with more that 25 inventions in the area of cognitive science and educational technology. He was conferred the prestigious Dewang Mehta Award from the Government of India for Innovation in Information Technology in the year 2003. Amongst many other awards, he was awarded the 1 million dollar TED Prize in 2013.
Starting with molecular orbital computation in the 1970s, Mitra discovered that the structure of organic molecules determine their function more than the constituent atoms. After a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the IIT, Delhi, he went on to research energy storage systems, first at the Centre for Energy Studies in the IIT and then at the Technische Universität, Vienna, Austria. This resulted in a new design for Zinc-Chlorine batteries. His interests in the flow of electricity through biological systems, a consequence of his Ph.D. research on exciton dissociation in organic semiconductors, led on to a seminally speculative paper on why the human sense organs are located where they are.
His interest in computer networking led him towards the emerging systems in printing in the 1980s. He set up India's first local area network based newspaper publishing system in 1984 and went on to predict the desktop publishing industry. This in turn led to the invention of LAN based database publishing and he created the "Yellow Pages" industry in India and Bangladesh.
His interest in the human mind once again led him into the areas of learning and memory and he was amongst the first in the world to show that simulated neural networks can help decipher the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. He was amongst the first people in the world to invent Voluntary Perception Recording (a continuously variable voting machine) and a hyperlinked computing environment, several years ahead of the Internet.
Professor Mitra's work at NIIT created the first curricula and pedagogy for that organisation, followed by years of research on learning styles, learning devices, several of them now patented, multimedia and new methods of learning. Culminating and, perhaps, towering over his previous work, are his "hole in the wall" experiments with children's learning. Since 1999, he has convincingly demonstrated that groups of children, irrespective of who or where they are, can learn to use computers and the Internet on their own using public computers in open spaces such as roads and playgrounds. He brought these results to England in 2006 and invented Self Organised Learning Environments, now in use throughout the world. In 2009, he created the Granny Cloud, of teachers who interact with children over the Internet.
Since the 1970s, Professor Mitra's publications and work has resulted in training and development of perhaps a million young Indians, amongst them some of the poorest children in the world.
In 2013, he was awarded the first $1 million TED prize, to put his educational ideas together to create seven laboratories called 'Schools in the Cloud'. Here he studied learning as emergent phenomena in an educational self-organising system. These results question the ideas of curriculum, examinations and the meaning of 'knowing' itself in the Internet world of the 21st century.
The effects of Sugata Mitra's work on the lives of people and the economy of the countries can only be guessed at.

At least 30 people have been killed and several others injured following two separate mass shootings in the United States within 24 hours.
Early Sunday, 10 people were killed, including the shooter while 16 others sustained varying degrees of injuries in Dayton's Oregon District, Ohio, according to the police.
"The shooter is deceased. There are 9 others also deceased. At least 16 others went to area hospitals with injuries," Dayton police said.

The shooting took place hours after a 21-year-old gunman, armed with an assault rifle, opened fire in a busy shopping centre in the Texas border town of El Paso, killing 20 people and injuring 26 others.

Shoppers were busy buying back to school items for their kids at the packed Walmart store when the incident occurred. The shopping centre was suddenly filled with gun smoke and several bodies lying on the ground around the parking lot of the store.
"The ages and genders of all these people injured and killed are numerous in the age groups," El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said. "The situation, needless to say, is a horrific one."
"Texas grieves for the people of El Paso," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "On a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping, turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas."
Residents, after the shooting, volunteered to give blood to the injured, while security personnel helped people who were looking for their loved ones. The injured were also sent to various hospitals to be treated, reports PA Media.

President Donald Trump has since condemned the El Paso attack as an "act of cowardice".
"I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today's hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people. Melania and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the great people of Texas," Trump tweeted.
Authorities have, so far, identified the 21-year-old suspect in the El Paso attack as Patrick Crusius from a wealthy Dallas area. He was taken into custody after he surrendered to the police outside the Walmart store.
The police are also investigating a document Crusius, who is white, allegedly posted before the shooting. That document contained white nationalist language and racist hatred toward immigrants and Latinos. The document also blamed immigrants and first-generation Americans for taking away jobs, CNN reported.
A Twitter account that seemed to belong to Crusius was also shut down Saturday evening. The account contained tweets that praised Trump and his moves to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
Meanwhile, the FBI has opened a domestic terrorism investigation into the shooting and is urging people who have photos or videos of the incident to submit them for examination.
The mass shooting in El Paso comes less than a week after a disgruntled employee killed two co-workers and wounded an officer at a Mississippi Walmart on Tuesday.
Prior to this incident, a 19-year-old gunman opened fire on a California food festival, killing three people and injuring 13 others. The teen gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
So far this year, 522 people have died in mass shootings and 2,040 injured, according to statistics cited by a not-for-profit organization, Gun Violence Archive.

Tjan – Future In Your Eyes
djruffee
Riding off the success of his previous hit releases including 'Aduke', 'Omo Yi', 'Your Smile', 'Meji' and 'I Love You So', the Nigerian velvet-voiced vocalist, Tjan, has released a new single titled 'Future in Your Eyes', an ode to everlasting, true love.
The release comes after weeks of speculation, hype and anticipation, as fans of the singer waited for news on the song's eventual release and direction.
Born Olasunmbo Tijani Fowosere, Tjan grew up in a music loving family and carved his own distinct style called AfroSoul-Pop with influences from his father and older brother, who was a rapper.
The talented vocalist started writing his own songs in high school at the age of 14, later enrolling at the prestigious Nigerian MUSON School of Music where he studied music and vocal training. Tjan would later continue his higher education at the North American University Houdegbe, Benin Republic.
'Future in Your Eyes' is a mid-tempo vibe produced by the duo of critically acclaimed producer Cobhams Asuquo and co-producer Rhyme Bamz, and the song is sure to strike a chord with fans familiar with Tjan's style, even as it welcomes new listeners with the singer's trademark refined vocals, love inspired theme and afro-fusion sound.

How to Start an E-commerce Store (Ecommerce Business)


For as long as I have been writing these articles (about 2 months?), I have been making my best efforts to support the predictions put out by the computer algorithm with my own write-ups, and although this was an interesting and unique challenge for me, especially in cases where I even personally disagreed with the computer predictions myself, I feel that it may now be time for this project to evolve past this stage. Quite simply, I developed the system as a means of analyzing what was deemed to be the most significant and relevant statistics for each game, and to carry out this task in an efficient and methodical manner, but now that I've come to the point where I no longer plan on making any more major changes to the system in the near future, I feel that I should be shifting my focus from thinking about the system to actually thinking about the game.
Admittedly, I have spent a great deal of time over the last little while just looking at statistics (only statistics and nothing else), and in this process, I have probably ended up looking past the other side of the equation on most nights; the side beyond the numbers. As such, I have now made the decision to leave the number-crunching to the computer from here on out, and to be more active in incorporating non-technical forms of analysis in my write-ups.
Hence, you will no longer be hearing me go on-and-on about how many goals Tampa Bay averages on 3 days of rest and so on and so forth—that will all be reflected in the computer projection. Instead, I will be making my best efforts from here on to write about what won't be reflected in the numbers. The 'Computer Picks' section has just become the 'Computer Picks + Real Human Analysis' section. Let's just call it "Computer Picks" for short though.
With a total of 9 games on the board, it may be reasonable to assume that there are at least a few good plays available on the board tonight. Although, I wouldn't try to talk anybody out of taking the Under 5.5 (-145) in BOS/TOR, or even the Oilers on the moneyline as a live home dog, I do feel that there is one game that stands out above the rest. Hence, I have decided to only write about that one game for today.
The first game back from a long and successful road trip is generally the kiss of death for any sports team, and that includes the Montreal Canadiens. To make matters worse for Montreal, the Habs touched down from their cross-country flight from California on Monday, which leaves them even less time to recover from jetlag, and the Lightning last played on Saturday, giving them the extra day of rest. Montreal does have one of the league's best powerplays, but Tampa Bay has not given them very many opportunities this season in head-to-head contests, holding the Canadiens' PP to just 1 for 7 in their prior 3 meetings combined. Quebec natives Martin St Louis and Vincent Lecavalier have also been extremely productive in their last 2 games, and have also played some very good games this season against their provincial home team. The situation sets up very nicely for Tampa Bay, who have had limited success on the road this season, but will be confronted by a Montreal squad that should be a step behind their usual pace, and who the Lightning have gone 2-0-1 against this season, while allowing a total of just 3 goals in those 3 games. Tampa Bay is offering a great deal of value in this game at +120.
