I emailed them through Facebook. I didn't call them out. Basically, I said, when you use that title you're saying you can be either veiled or unveiled – that's it…If those women decide to take off their veils while they're playing that's their choice as long as they have a safe space to do it, but a lot of the women on that team don't unveil while they play so what are you actually saying here? So, they changed the title of their movie, which I felt was huge."

Saltø

Saltø is a manor house and estate located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of Næstved in southeastern Denmark. The estate was acquired by Carl Adolph von Plessen in 1725 and had been owned by the von Plessen family since then. The main building from the second half of the 16th century and two half-timbered buildings from the second half of the 18th century were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. The estate covers 1,050 hectares (10.5 km2).

History

The first known owner of Saltø was Jacob Fleb. After his death in 1351, his children sold it to Nicolaus af Jura. In 1353, Nicolaus af Jura's son sold the estate to their relative Herman af Jura.

In 1377, Saltø was acquired by Count Ernst af Gleichen. In 1386, he sold Saltø to Margaret I. In 1393, she granted to the Diocese of Toskilde. After the Reformation, in 1536, it was confiscated by the crown along with all other church property. It was then administrated as a royal fief. In 1646, Christian IV ceded it to his son by Kirsten Munk, Valdemar Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, in exchange for other property. Shortly thereafter, possibly already the same year, he sold it to his brother-in-law, Corfitz Ulfeldt, who then served as Steward of the Realm. After Ulfeldt's fall from power, in 1651, Saltø was confiscated by the crown along with his other holdings. In 1858, he entered Swedish service and the Swedish king gave him his Danish estates back. In 1661, he lost his Danish estates again when he sought amnesty but was imprisoned in Gammerhus on Bornholm.


Saltø

After living for a time in concealment at Amsterdam, Ulfeldt moved to Stralsund in Swedish Pomerania. In 1657, King Charles X of Sweden invaded Denmark. In July 1657, Ulfeldt responded to the King's invitation to enter his service. Sweden was Denmark's deadliest foe. Ulfeldt's purpose was twofold: humiliate his monarch and secure a personal fortune. He persuaded the commandant of Nakskov (a strategically crucial fortress) to surrender to Charles X, and did his best to convince his countrymen that resistance was useless. He even loaned the Swedish king a fortune to finance the war with money that, it is believed, was embezzled from the Danish state. Finally, as one of the Swedish negotiators at the Treaty of Taastrup, he was instrumental in assuring the humiliation of his native land.

Ulfeldt's treason was rewarded by Charles X of Sweden with ennoblement as the Count of Sölvesborg in Blekinge and he was in the same time given his Danish holdings back. He later returned to Copenhagen to try to make his peace with his lawful sovereign, who promptly imprisoned him and his wife. In the summer of 1660 they were conveyed to Hammershus in Bornholm, as prisoners of state. In 1661, he gave up his Danish estates in exchange for his release.

In 1668, Saltø was sold to Otto Pogwisch. He held several high offices but was heavily indebted. In 1681, he had to sell Saltø to Knud Thott. He was already to owner of Gavnø and Knudstrup. In 1693, he sold Saltø to Matthias Numsen. He had a military background and had served in the Scanian War. He was married to one of Ole Worm's daughters. In 1701 he also purchased Fuglebjerggaard.

Carl Adolf von Plessen


Saltø

Carl Adolf von Plessen

In 1725, Saltø was acquired by Carl Adolf von Plessen. Plessen had close ties to Frederik IV's brother, Prince Carl, and was a member of the government (Gehejmekonseillet) from 1730. He was one of the largest landowners in the country. His other estates included Førslevgaard, Harrestedgård, Gunderslevholm, Kastrupgård, Fuglebjerggaard, Fodbygaard and Dronningelund. He was known for his many initiatives to improve the living conditions for the peasants on his estates, for instance by establishing numerous schools. Having no children, he placed his estates in a foundation, De plessiske fideikommisgodser. After his death in 1758, De plessiske fideikommisgodser was divided in two. One of them passed to his nephew Frederik Christian von Plessen and the other went to the three sons of his brother Mogens Scheel von Plessen. Frederik Christian von Plessen, who had no children, in 1763, ceded his estates to the four grand-nephews of the other line.

In 1771, Saltø passed to Christian Ludvig Scheel von Plessen. He was already the owner of Fusingø and Lindholm and Selsø. The estate has later passed through the Scheel-Plessen line of the Plessen family.

Architecture

The main building is a two-storey, two, winged complex. The eastern part of the north wing dates from the late Middles Afes. The east wing and the western part of the north wing date from the second half of the 16th century. The main building and two half-timbered buildings from the second half of the 18th century were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918.

Today

The current owner of Saltø is Carl-Alexander M. H., Count Plessen. The estate covers 1,050 hectares of land.

Cultural references

Saltø was used as a location in the 1961 film Landsbylægen.

North Oil Company (Qatar)

North Oil Company (NOC) is a crude oil and natural gas company based in Qatar.

History

The creation of the North Oil Company has been announced in June 2016 by QatarEnergy as a joint venture with TotalEnergies (30%) to develop and operate the Al Shaheen oil field for 25 years.QatarEnergy announced that total investments into the field would be around $3.5 billion.

From 1992 – 2017, the Al Shaheen Oil Field had been developed and operated by Maersk Oil.

In July 2017, the first crude tanker from Al Shaheen was loaded.PetroVietnam was contracted by NOC in order to further develop the second phase of the field, including the erection of three new wellhead platforms and three bridges until 2020.

Corporate structure

NOC is led by chief executive officer Frederic Paux. Khalid al Rumaihi is chairman of the board of directors. Other members of the board are Abdulaziz Al-Mannai, Jassim Al-Marzouqi, Mohammed Al Ghanem, Rashid Al Fehaidi, Hamad Al-Baker, Lionel Levha, Pierre Ranger and Laurent Wolffsheim.

Operations

North Oil operates the Al Shaheen Oil Field. The field is situated in Qatari waters, around 180 kilometers north from Doha, 80 kilometers north of Ras Laffan and the north-east coast of Qatar. Al Shaheen is the largest offshore field in Qatar and is part of the South Pars/North Dome Gas-Condensate field, stretching across 9,700 square kilometres in Iranian and Qatari waters. The field is considered one of the largest and most complex oilfields in the world.

Current production of the field was 300,000 barrels per day (48,000 m3/d) in 2017, produced by 33 platforms and close to 400 wells. The field covers more than 40% of Qatars total oil production.

The companies current goal is to maintain current production and output levels from the field, which is considered difficult in complex fields like Al Shaheen, given the natural decrease of pressure and resources.

Shire of Yarrawonga

The Shire of Yarrawonga was a local government area on the Murray River, in the Goulburn Valley region, about 260 kilometres (162 mi) northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 626.78 square kilometres (242.0 sq mi), and existed from 1891 until 1994.

History

Yarrawonga was once part of the vast Echuca Road District, which formed in 1864 and becoming a shire in 1871. It extended along the south bank of the Murray River, from Mount Hope Creek in the west, to the Ovens River in the east.

Originally, Yarrawonga was part of the Shire of Tungamah, which, confusingly, was originally called the Shire of Yarrawonga, when it was first incorporated on 15 May 1878. On 17 April 1891, the East Riding, which contained the town of Yarrawonga, was severed and incorporated as the Shire of North Yarrawonga. After the original shire was renamed to Tungamah on 17 February 1893, North Yarrawonga was renamed Yarrawonga on 12 May 1893.

On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Yarrawonga was abolished, and along with the Shires of Cobram, Nathalia, Numurkah and Tungamah, was merged into the newly created Shire of Moira. The Peechelba district, however, was transferred to the newly created Rural City of Wangaratta.

Iberodorcadion coelloi

Iberodorcadion coelloi is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found in Spain.


Salvia longispicata

Salvia longispicata is a perennial shrub native to southwestern Mexico, growing between 1,000 and 6,500 feet (300 and 2,000 m) elevation. The specific epithet "longispicata" gives the impression that the plant has "long spikes", but instead refers to the many projecting clusters of short flowering spikes that resemble small ears of corn.

Salvia longispicata is a large, fast growing Salvia, reaching 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) high and 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) wide in one season. While not particularly showy, it has unusual dark purple flowers and an upright habit—both qualities are valued by salvia hybridizers. The mid-green ovate leaves are many sizes, and connected to the petiole at the broader end. Small - less than 0.5 inches (1 cm) - dark purple flowers begin appearing in summer and bloom into late autumn. The pale green calyces are about the same length as the flower. The 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) inflorescences have tight whorls of flowers, which do not rise above the foliage as many other species of Salvia do.

Salvia farinacea x Salvia longispicata "Mystic Spires Blue'

In 1979 a spontaneous sterile hybrid was found at Huntington Library that was believed to be from a cross between Salvia longispicata and S. farinacea. It was introduced as the highly popular Salvia farinacea × longispicata 'Indigo Spires'.

Jacques de Bela

Jacques de Bela (15 February 1586 – 28 May 1667) was a French-basque lawyer and writer in basque language, born at Mauléon.Dictionnaire Basque and Compendium de grammaire Basque.

Life

At age 20 he obtained a doctorate in law from the University of Toulouse. Being Calvinist he suffered great difficulties to register between the lawyers of the Court of Mauleon. He was admitted in 1614, but spent 17 years before obtaining the position of dance and Royal judge. Miserable in her marriage to Jeanne d'Arbide who was Catholic intransigent, sought refuge in his deeply religious spirit. Its currency, adopted later by the Bela family, was: is hala, "Jadis, comme cela", Orain hula, "Aujourd'hui ' hui comme ceci", Guero, ez dakit nola, "Plus tard, je ne sais comment". With a special mood and a difficult character, initially not sought in the Studio rather than a form of entertainment, but soon driven by his passion for writing, he composed a dictionary and a Basque grammar, that has been lost. Later, he made two huge manuscripts: the first, comprising 6 volumes. The fourth, is a kind of encyclopedia, known as Tablettes, containing, in alphabetical order, theological, moral, medical, and scientific matters; the second, eighth and with more than 600 pages, says the charters of the country of the Soule. Regardless of these writings, it has some works of law. Despite its incorrect and sometimes diffuse language should recognize his vast knowledge. G. Clément-Simon in his work Le Hélène l'érudition et dans Le Pays Basque au commencement du XVIIe siécle (1896), picks up a few proverbs and Basque sayings taken from the unpublished works of Bela and inserts in the biography that this character brings the author. Bela died on May 28, 1667. Among the descendants of Jacques is the Jeanne-Philippe Bela Knight, His great-grandson was Jean-Philippe Bela, known as chevalier de Bela.

Kleinwachter's conundrum

Kleinwachter's conundrum refers to a hypothetical which illustrates the difficulties in constructing an income tax that equitably taxes gains from consumption. It emphasizes differences among individuals which are beyond their control; specifically, it focuses on differences in working conditions and differences in personal preferences.

The hypothetical was posed by Friedrich Kleinwächter and popularized by Henry Simons.

The Conundrum

Kleinwachter's conundrum imagines two equally salaried employees: an ordinary military officer and a flugeladjutant (a regimental aide-de-camp) to the sovereign. First, imagine that the flugeladjutant "receives quarters in the palace, food at the royal table, servants, and horses for sport. He accompanies the prince to theatre and opera, and, in general, lives royally at no expense to himself and is able to save generously from his salary." To complicate this problem, suppose further that the flugeladjutant detests opera and hunting. How, Kleinwächter asks, can they be equitably taxed?

Revived by Henry Simons

The conundrum was popularized by Henry Simons, who mentioned it in his tax treatise, Personal Income Taxation.

Consequences for tax policy

Simons laments that the problem this example poses to equitable taxation "is clearly hopeless": To omit all compensation in kind is clearly inappropriate. On the other hand, to include the perquisites implies that all income should be measured with regard for the subjective relative pleasureableness of diverse activities—the negation of measurement.

Because it is difficult to measure actual utility from personal consumption (which includes in-kind benefits consumed by employees, but also leisure time, and the imputed income from self-performed services and ownership of consumer durables), tax policy seeks to sensibly and fairly delimit the concept of income in the context of the taxation of in-kind benefits by developing guidelines that balance equity, neutrality, and administrability.

Maneuvers (Star Trek: Voyager)

"Maneuvers" is the 27th episode of Star Trek: Voyager, and the 11th episode in the second season. In this science fiction television show, the spacecraft USS Voyager encounters the Kazon and former crew member that defected, Seska. The episode features many scenes with Chakotay, Seska, and various guest stars in the role of the Kazon. It also features several special effect sequences with various spacecraft.

Martha Hackett guest stars as Seska, returning to reprise that character, and she plays opposite Anthony De Longis cast as the Kazon sect leader First Maj Culluh. Voyager regular First Officer/Maquis leader Chakotay is played by Robert Beltran.

The episode aired on UPN on November 20, 1995.

Summary

"Maneuvers" is a science fiction television show episode that was first broadcast on UPN Network on November 20, 1995. This follows the story of starship Voyager, which after departing Deep Space Nine was taken to the other side of the Galaxy.Kazon.Maquis, turned out to be a Cardassian spy and defected to the Kazon.

This continues the story that began with "State of Flux" and this story is continued in "Basics (Part I and Part II)" (the two-part episode bridging season 2 and 3).

"Maneuvers" was written by Kenneth Biller and directed by David Livingston.Star Trek episodes in this era, including for Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999), Star Trek: Voyager, and Enterprise. Overall he directed 62 episodes of Star Trek, including 28 for Voyager.

Plot

The Voyager crew detect a Federation probe and set course for it, hoping for potential contact with the Federation. However it is a trap; the Kazon Nistrim attack with the help of the traitor Seska. (Seska was a Cardassian spy who infiltrated the Chakotay's Maquis cell, joined Voyager's crew in the Delta quadrant, then left for the Kazon.) Kazon leader Maj Culluh boards Voyager and escapes with a transporter technology-module, believing Federation technology will allow him to unite and lead other Kazon sects.


Maneuvers (Star Trek: Voyager)

Aware that Federation technology will change the balance of power in the quadrant, Janeway wishes to pursue. However, Chakotay blames himself for Seska's betrayal, as he allowed Seska to infiltrate the Maquis and eventually join Voyager. To avoid endangering the rest of Voyager's crew for his mistake, Chakotay steals a shuttle to pursue the Kazon alone. He is able to infiltrate Culluh's ship and destroy the transporter, but is captured. Culluh invites other Kazon leaders aboard and claims he has obtained Voyager's command-codes from Chakotay and can capture Voyager with ease.

Voyager pursues Chakotay and finds the Kazon fleet. Voyager engages the Kazon while Torres attempts to transport Chakotay away, but Seska blocks the transport. In response Janeway transports Culluh and the other sect leaders aboard Voyager, releasing them in return for Chakotay and the Federation shuttle. Meanwhile, Seska informs Voyager she has impregnated herself with Chakotay's DNA. After the battle Janeway commends Chakotay for his intentions, but expresses disapproval of his insubordination.

Reception

This had a Nielsen rating of 5.4 points when it was broadcast in 1995.

Doux Reviews gave "Maneuvers" 2.5 out of 4.Tor.com rated it 4 out of 10.

Neues Sehen

Carnival masks, or three sliced onions, by Elsa Thiemann, 1930s

The Neues Sehen, also known as New Vision or Neue Optik, was a movement, not specifically restricted to photography, which was developed in the 1920s. The movement was directly related to the principles of the Bauhaus. Neues Sehen considered photography to be an autonomous artistic practice with its own laws of composition and lighting, through which the lens of the camera becomes a second eye for looking at the world. This way of seeing was based on the use of unexpected framings, the search for contrast in form and light, the use of high and low camera angles, etc.New Objectivity with which it shared a defence of photography as a specific medium of artistic expression, although Neues Sehen favoured experimentation and the use of technical means in photographic expression.

History

The inter-war years saw a significant change in the field of photography. On one hand, there was a reaction against the painterly approach; while on the other, there was a renewed interest in the new forms of artistic expression. The three main currents developed during that period are Neues Sehen, New Objectivity and straight photography. All of them favoured specificity in the photographic medium and its separation from painting. They stood against the photographic associations that were striving to preserve painterly models, accusing them of being unsubstantial, of having a narrow outlook limited to their own assumptions, and of producing images that were unattractive and removed from reality.

But Neues Sehen was also criticised by the defenders of straight photography and New Objectivity for being too experimental, inconsistent, and producing amateur photography of poor technical standards. To defend themselves against the latter, they created classes of pure photography at the Bauhaus school and evolved toward ever-greater objectivity in photography.


Neues Sehen

The movement was formed mainly by young Russian Constructivists such as Alexander Rodchenko and the Bauhaus teachers László Moholy-Nagy and Walter Peterhans. Bauhaus students highly influenced by the Neues Sehen included Elsa Thiemann, Ivana Tomljenović-Meller, Iwao Yamawaki, Erich Consemüller and Andreas Feininger. Moholy-Nagy's wife, Lucia Moholy, was also a noted Neues Sehen photographer. Their stylistic resources included unexpected angles, experimenting with light and shadows to produce large dark areas in the photograph, the use of photomontage and collage, and photographic composition according to the strict principles of perception of the Bauhaus.

The works are usually didactic since they force the viewer to confront images that are not easily recognisable as elements of reality. Consequently, these are works of uneven quality and experimental nature.

Film und Foto

The exhibition FIFO, organised in 1929 by the Deutscher Werkbund in Stuttgart, is considered the first great exhibition of modern European and American photography.Sigfried Giedion, who were in charge of the main room in the exhibition, introduced a change in the initial programme and turned it into a representation of the New Vision.

The exhibition included 1,200 works by 191 artists belonging to the fields of cinema, painting, photography and the visual arts in general, and can be considered the culmination of experimental production realised with these media. In Germany it was seen as a retrospective of these fields before the rigid aesthetics of the Nazi regime were imposed.

The selection of works was made by several well known figures including Moholy-Nagy, who was one of the selectors for European photography, and Edward Weston, who was in charge of the American section. Artists included Berenice Abbott, Willi Baumeister, Marcel Duchamp, Hein Gorny, Hannah Höch, Eugène Atget, Man Ray, Alexander Rodchenko, Edward Steichen, Imogen Cunningham, Charles Sheeler and Brett Weston, among others. The selected works were characterised by unexpected angles, such as the photographs taken by Willi Ruge from a parachute,Foto-Auge (Photo-eye), asserting that photography had changed in a definitive manner.

Hix-Blackwell House

Hix-Blackwell House in 2016

The Hix-Blackwell House is among the oldest dwellings in the U.S. city of Laurens, South Carolina. This house has been the residence of one of the earliest merchants in the city of Laurens, American Civil War veterans, a prominent lawyer and legislator, and their families. It is a key contributing resource for the South Harper Historic District.

The Hix Family residence

The house was likely built by Edward Hix (1792 – 1882), a veteran of the War of 1812 and a native Virginian. After spending some time in Union County, South Carolina, Edward bought the lot where the house is located from Robert Cresswell in January 1818.Lieutenant Governors of South Carolina). Hix himself was a coach and wagon manufacturer, and he also operated a furniture factory and grist mill on Hix Creek, just below the site of the house near the present-day Laurens County Emergency Services Complex, also on South Harper Street.

It is not known exactly when the house was constructed. It is possible that the house predates the purchase of the lot on which it sits by the Hix family. The deed recording the property transfer and describing the premises states that there was a "small house built on the said lott (sic) by James Bruster." However, it is currently believed that this may refer to an older, smaller dwelling which, according to Sanborne Fire Insurance maps was present in 1906 but had been demolished by 1912.The Laurensville Herald dated August 17, 1849, Edward Hix offers to sell a "valuable and desirable house and lot in the Village of Laurens containing two acres with a good well of water with all necessary outbuildings." Apparently Edward Hix was not able to find a suitable buyer for the property, and the house remained in the Hix family for another generation.

In addition to his contributions as a veteran and carriage maker, Edward Hix served as one of the first Aldermen of the City of Laurens, serving from January 1846, just after the City was incorporated by the SC General Assembly in December 1845. One of his sons, Jesse, served as the City’s first Clerk/Treasurer.


Hix-Blackwell House

The house was also the home of Edward's sons: Edward Melville Hix And Jesse Scott Hix, and William Preston Hix. While Preston "Press" Hix may not have remained in Laurens, he may be the most unusual of the brothers. As a young man, before the Civil War, he became an accomplished artist, winning local awards for his pictures. He served in the Third South Carolina Infantry, and after being discharged, he worked for a photographer in Columbia, South Carolina, taking photographs and using his portrait skills to colorize them. He eventually became a partner in this firm, known as Wearn & Hix. One of his most famous photographs is that of Robert Smalls, leader of a slave rebellion and United States Congressman from South Carolina following the Civil War.Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, of whom he painted a full-length portrait.Thomas Edison, eventually becoming a trusted friend and business associate. He worked as an agent for the Edison Company, and was responsible for the installation of a $2 million dollar lighting system for the city of Philadelphia in 1884.

While their younger brother Preston painted portraits, Edward M. and Jesse worked in the family business, manufacturing wagons, buggies, carriages, as well as mantels, window sashes, and other furniture items. This family business venture is significant because it represents the coming of the industrial age to this small South Carolina town. The Laurensville Herald of December 20, 1850 reports that Edward Hix (the elder) had "purchased the lot behind Mr. S. R. Todd's store from Saxon and Farley and is erecting a steam saw and gristmill." By January 17, 1851, the paper reported that Hix, who had again been elected a "Warden of Laurensville," had "purchased the necessary material and machinery and is erecting buildings to put up a steam factory on the lot below Mr. Todd's store consisting of a sawmill, gristmill, planing and mortising machine and a variety of other smaller machines." The Herald goes on to editorialize a bit, stating, "It will not be long before the dark smoke of the steam horse will be peering aloft over our hitherto quiet little village." These two brothers purchased the business and other property from their father on May 24, 1869.


Hix-Blackwell House

Edward M. Hix (1832-1905), who owned his own house on West Main Street in Laurens (near the site of the present-day First United Methodist Church) eventually moved to Johnston, South Carolina, and was the fourth settler of that town. His departure from Laurens left Jesse Hix (1826-1905) in the South Harper house with his family. Jesse's first wife, Mary Helen Hix, died in 1881, and the couple was childless at that time. However, he was soon remarried to Clara Harlow Boyd (1863-1952), and the couple raised five children in the home. Jesse remained in the house until his death in March 1905, and at the time of his death he was the oldest resident of Laurens. Jesse and Harlow's daughter, Jessie, married Augustus Mahafee, a grocer who operated a store on the Laurens Public Square. Jessie and Augustus and their children remained in the home with Harlow Hix until 1918, when they moved to a newer residence on West Main Street and sold the home to Homer S. Blackwell and his wife.

Hix-Blackwell House Staircase

The Blackwell Family Residence & Beyond

Second owner of the house was Homer S. Blackwell, a prominent lawyer and state solicitor and member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1913 to 1914.

During the time the Blackwell's owned the home, Homer Blackwell was involved in the aftermath of the notorious lynching of Joe Stewart, and worked to bring to justice those who had committed this crime of hate.

Like the first builder and first owner of the house, Blackwell had a connection to the City of Laurens. Blackwell served as City Attorney for the City of Laurens during the late 1950s until his death in November 1960 at age 83. Jeannie Blackwell continued to live in the home until her death in 1975.


Hix-Blackwell House

At this point, and to a greater extent afterward, the home suffered from a lack of maintenance and care. It continued to fall into disrepair until the early 1990s when an attempt was made to modernize the home and repair much of the damage caused by water leaks, termites, and the passage of time. However, with the exception of removing the stoop and restoring a porch which spanned the entire front facade, the repairs made in the 1990s were not made with care and respect for the historic character of the home.

Today, work is ongoing to restore the home and return it to its former beauty, respecting its place as home to one of the City of Laurens' founding families and some of the most influential figures in the city's history.

Architectural features

The house is described on the National Register of Historic Places as a "one-and-one-half story, frame residence, sheathed in weatherboarding. The front slope of the metal, gable roof is pierced by three pedimented, gabled dormers. The main entrance, which is centered, has double doors, sidelights, and transom. A porch which extended across the facade was removed and replaced by a gabled portico in the 1920s."

Hix-Blackwell House front door showing 19th c. decorative fretwork

The home also has a number of other distinctive features which were not noted in the National Register description. The pedimented Pediment gabled dormers mentioned feature detailed wood fretwork, typical of the early decades of the 19th century. This wooden ornamentation is also present on the double screen doors and are likely an early, if not original, feature of the house. The interior of the home features a wide central hallway which showcases a dramatic winding staircase. The rooms on the first floor feature 12 ft. ceilings and two centrally located chimneys allow for each of the four principal first floor rooms to have its own fireplace. These fireplaces, which were originally configured to burn wood were later modified to use coal, and later blocked off altogether for use of propane/gas heaters.

The frame of the house is evidence of its extreme (relative) age. The beams which support the house are milled lumber, some measuring 8"x12" and fitted together with traditional post-and-beam construction techniques and pegged together with hand-shaped pegs.


Hix-Blackwell House

During the period in which the Blackwell family owned the house, older victorian-style homes fell out of fashion and simpler colonial styling was preferred. Unfortunately, the home's original porch was removed in the 1920s, and it is likely that much of the original ornamentation which may have adorned the capitals of the porch columns and the railings was discarded. In place of the large porch, the family built a simple gabled portico which was present at the time the house was listed on the National Register in 1986. They also added a sunroom to the South side of the home. In recent years, the expansive front porch has been restored to the home so it more closely resembles its antebellum appearance, though additional restoration is required to complete the task.

By 1906, it appears that the home had a kitchen on the southwest corner and a small covered porch which stood just behind the back door of the central hallway. There was also a separate, small dwelling directly behind the house as well a water well and another outbuilding (likely a stable and/or carriage shed) on the north side of the property. By 1912, the entire rear portion of the house had enclosed by an addition with a metal shed roof. This addition was likely added to provide for indoor bathroom facilities. Gone too, by 1912, was the small dwelling, which may have been the original dwelling present when the lot was sold to the Hix family in 1818. Additional study is necessary to determine the nature, location, and age of these separate structures.

While the home's age has not been clearly determined, circumstantial evidence from the property transfer record, architectural features of the home, and contemporary accounts indicate that the house was likely constructed from 1818 to the early 1820s. What is certain is that the home is one of the oldest, and one of the few surviving antebellum structures in the city of Laurens.

Schizachyrium tenerum

Schizachyrium tenerum is a species of grass known by the common name slender little bluestem, or slender bluestem. It is native to the Americas, where it occurs in North, Central, and South America.

This plant produces bunches of erect or leaning stems up to a meter long. The wiry leaves are up to 15 or 20 centimeters in length. The inflorescence is a raceme of paired spikelets. The fertile spikelet has an awn up to a centimeter long; the sterile spikelet lacks an awn.

In the United States this grass grows in pine forests and on the coastal plain. It and the pinehill bluestem (S. scoparium var. divergens) may codominate habitat in the understory of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris). It grows in pine savanna, seeps, pitcher plant bogs, dry prairies, sandhills, and floodplains.
