Luiz Jorge de Barbuda

Chinae... nova descriptio by Ludovicus Georgius (1584)

Luiz Jorge de Barbuda (1564 (?)-1613 (?)Ludovicus Georgius, the creator of the influential map of China, published by Abraham Ortelius in 1584 in his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.

During his life the cartographer was known under the Portuguese name Luiz Jorge, or its Hispanicized version Luis Jorge. Later Spanish writers would "disambiguate" his name using the place of his origin, calling him Luis Jorge de la Barbuda.

Even if Szcześniak's identification of Ludovicus Georgius as Luiz Jorge de Barbuda is correct, the birth date given by Szcześniak may not be in agreement with the biographical points given in Maroto & Piñeiro 2006. According to Maroto and Piñeiro, Luis Jorge was hired by Philip II of Spain in 1582 as the "master of making navigation charts and world maps" (maestro de hacer cartas de marear y cosmographias).

The China map

Ludovicus Georgius' famous work, the 1584 map of China, appeared in Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. It was accompanied by a brief description of China and its language, which Ludovicus Georgius derived from Spain's first book on China: Bernardino de Escalante's Discurso de la navegacion que los Portugueses hacen a los Reinos y Provincias de Oriente, y de la noticia que se tiene de las grandezas del Reino de la China (1577). Both Ludovicus Georgius' map and Escalante-based "country summary" became highly influential, becoming the base for most European cartographic and literary work on the topic for several decades,China-based Jesuit became available (Martino Martini, Novus Atlas Sinensis, 1655).

Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero

"Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero" is a double-single from American rock band Stone Sour, released as the first single from their fourth album House of Gold & Bones – Part 1.

"Absolute Zero"'s reprise is featured on the track "The House of Gold & Bones" from the second part of the album.

Music videos

In "Absolute Zero", the main character is stuck in some sort of other-worldly realm. Within this realm, two versions of Stone Sour perform the track throughout the area; one colored grey and the other colored gold. The man is presented with a choice, his body getting twisted and warped as he struggles to make a truly impossible decision. Frontman Corey Taylor said:

"Absolute Zero" is the anti-hero anthem of House of Gold & Bones – Part 1. It essentially lets you know that the hero isn't perfect, but he will do whatever is necessary. The video is loosely based on the fact that in the short story, the hero ends up in a very strange world and he has to figure out what's going on and what he'll do."

Harbor Beach Community House

Harbor Beach Community House is a building used for community purposes located in Harbor Beach, Michigan.

Building

The building is located at the northeast corner of State Street and Huron Avenue, the main intersection in Harbor Beach, Michigan.

The Community House was built on land which had been donated by George Jenks and Anna Belle Jenks Scranton for the purpose of constructing a building to be used for community purposes. It was dedicated on September 21, 1921 and housed a theater/auditorium, gymnasium which doubled as a banquet hall with full kitchen facilities, public & school library, the city offices and Council room, as well as numerous meeting and club rooms. It also housed the Community Theatre.

The building is now home to the local movie theatre, a gymnasium and the public library. The Harbor Beach Area District Library is responsible for administration of the building. The library was established in the early 1890s, before the construction of the building, moving there when it was completed.

History

In a letter dated November 5, 1917, George J. Jenks and Anna Belle Jenks Scranton deeded Lot 34 of the Salt reserve of the City of Harbor Beach to the people for Community House purposes. By early 1918, the citizens of Harbor Beach raised $25,000 for the purpose of erecting and fitting out city offices in connection with the auditorium. This money enabled the Harbor Beach Community House Corporation to move forward, and on November 11, 1918, the Board appointed George J. Jenks and James I. Bennett to oversee the construction of the building.

Actual construction of the building didn’t begin June 1919. The first section of the building used was the theater and auditorium. On November 1, 1920, the D. W. Griffith, six-reel silent movie, “The Love Flower”, and the two-reel Harold Lloyd comedy played to a standing room only crowd. On February 4, 1921,

During the next four years, the Community House became a community center. The theater and auditorium, with a seating capacity of 500, was in constant use. The American Legion, Woman’s Club, Girl Scout and Boy Scout rooms, the Community and School Library, city offices, and Council Room were centers of activity.

Fire and rebuilding

On March 17, 1926, fire destroyed one-half of the Community House.


Harbor Beach Community House

The rebuilt theater, with a seating capacity of 681, was matched by no other facility in the area. The community used the new gymnasium, with seating for 500 spectators, as an arena for athletic events and as a banquet hall with full kitchen facilities. The library, with about 3000 volumes, was one of the primary enrichment centers of the area. The new city offices became a hub of governmental activity. The building was a focal point for the community and housed numerous activities. Theater attendance peaked with as many as 10,000 people going to the movies in a single month.

The 1950s brought change to the community, and as interests changed, so did their utilization of the Community House and theater. In April 1959, city offices relocated to the newly built City Hall. Construction of the new high school addition, including gym facilities, refocused the location of many community activities. The theater increasingly became a movie theater, as it remains to this day, and would keep up with modern times at its own pace, having a wider movie screen installed following the introduction of CinemaScope and other widescreen processes.

By the early 1970s, the future of the Community House looked bleak. The Community House Council had the task of reviewing operations, and making the building a viable part of the community.

On July 1, 1994, the Harbor Beach area district library became an independent governmental entity. The District Library Board now manages the operation of the Community House and Library.

Present day

The Harbor Beach Community Theater, with a seating capacity of over 400, shows recent movie releases as well as being the site for concerts, live stage productions, and other community projects. Following a year-long fundraising effort which resulted in total donations of $53,000, the theater replaced its existing projector with a digital cinema projector in December 2013.

The community house is also used by local schools and the library, as well as local clubs and scouting groups.

Community House Mural


Harbor Beach Community House

Community House Mural

A priority of the Community House Council was to recreate a mural, which had been located in the middle arch on the west side of the building. Paul Honore completed the original mural in 1930 by, and depicted various Community House activities such as athletics, dramas, and community dinners. The Council hired Dave Wiley to reproduce the mural. Before beginning work on the actual mural, Mr. Wiley created a three-dimension model depicting some of Harbor Beach’s most prominent personalities, as well as special events and highlights. James Lincoln verified the accuracy of the text.

Over a span of three years, Mr. Wiley painstakingly recreated his mural on the west wall of the Community House, utilizing the arches of the building as framing of his painting. Dedication ceremonies for the mural took place on August 2, 1992.

Lokiriama Peace Accord

The Lokiriama Peace Accord is a peace treaty between the Turkana people of Kenya and the Matheniko of Uganda signed in December 1973 as a commitment by both parties to peacefully co-exist. The accord derives its name from Lokiriama, a remote town in Turkana District, North Western Kenya that is inhabited by the Turkana. A symbolic monument for this accord is situated at Lokiriama on the Kenya – Uganda border. It is believed that elders from both Turkana and Matheniko buried instruments of conflict, honey, milk and traditional brew in a pit over which the monument was constructed.

Commemoration of the accord

Celebrations to commemorate the accord and re-affirm the commitment of all parties to upholding its content are held every year. The date for commemorating the accord is not fixed and may sometimes fall in December, earlier or later. In 2011 for example, commemoration was held on International Day of Peace which falls on September 21 every year. In addition to the Turkana and Matheniko, the commemorations bring together the Toposa people and Didinga people of Southern Sudan, other Karamojong people from Uganda and Nyangatom of Ethiopia. Commemorations are also graced with the presence of high-profile political and appointed leaders from all levels, including the central government for both Kenya and Uganda. Local and international civil society organizations also participate in the event often making contributions to meet various associated expenses such as media coverage, transportation of clan members and food for all attendees. The 2011 commemoration was attended by former Kenyan President Daniel Arap Moi, Parliamentary members, Ministers and high-profile civil servants from both Kenya and Uganda.

John Miers (artist)

John Miers (1756–1821) was the most famous profilist or painter of silhouettes in Britain.

Career

Born in Leeds, he established a business first in Edinburgh, and operated in various Northern towns before setting up studios in The Strand, London around 1788. Here he operated a very successful business recording customers profiles in "3 minute sittings".

In 1785, Miers writes on the back of one of his images promoting the process: “preserves the most exact Symmetry and animated expression of the Features, much Superior to any other Method. Time of sitting one minute. N.B. He keeps the original Shades, and can supply those he has once taken with any number of Copies. Those who have Shades by them may have them reduced to any Size, and dress’d in the present taste.”

Miers specialty was painting unrelieved black on plaster. His name was first mentioned in the London Directory of 1792.

At the end of his life in 1821, Miers is considered to have amassed 100,000 profiles in his studio.

Personal life

Miers was well acquainted with Robert Burns as Burn's described in a letter suggesting his friend Robert Ainslee sit for a profile painting by John Miers so that he can hang "Lord Glencairn, the Dr. and you (Ainslee), in trio, over my new chimney-piece that is to be."

Redick Tower

The Redick Tower, operated since 2011 as The Hotel Deco, is an eleven-story building located at 1504 Harney Street in Omaha, Nebraska. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The building was designed in the Art Deco style by Omaha architect Joseph G. McArthur. It was named after the Redick family, who had been among Omaha's pioneer settlers, arriving in 1856, and who had owned the land on which the building was constructed. As designed, it housed commercial storefront space on the first floor, indoor parking and garage facilities for up to 500 cars on the lower seven floors, and office space in the tower above the parking levels.

The Redick Tower was built for Garrett and Agor, Inc., which managed it until the mid-1930s, when it was purchased by the Redick Tower Corporation. In 1943, it was bought by Omaha investor Walter Duda, who held it until 1973, when it was acquired by the Denver-based Parking Corporation of America. It was subsequently operated as a Radisson Hotel "considered among Omaha's best"Best Western Redick Plaza Hotel until it closed in 2009.

In 2010, it was purchased by the White Lotus Group, which opened it in the following year as the Hotel Deco.

In 1984, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Gone South

Gone South was a music festival in Tasmania, Australia. It has been held in both Launceston and Hobart at various times. It has been promoted by local Hobart businessman Charles Touber, and more recently in conjunction with Karen Henderson.

The location of festivals in the state has always been a difficult problem, as unlike other states, Tasmania's population is evenly distributed inside and outside the capital city, and as a result there is huge rivalry between the north (Launceston) and south (Hobart) of the state. Hobart residents tend to be less keen to travel to a festival, whereas people from Launceston are used to events being in Hobart only, and therefore are not as averse to travelling.

The promoters have stated that Launceston is the best site for the festival as it is geographically the most centrally accessible city in Tasmania, located less than two hours' drive from Hobart, the north-west, and the east coast. The 2002 event that featured Incubus was held at Hobart due to State government sponsorship for that event. No plans for future events have currently been announced.

1999 Launceston

The first event was held in December 1999 at the Inveresk Railyards in Launceston. The line-up included Grinspoon, Paul Kelly, Killing Heidi, Silverchair, Powderfinger and Alex Lloyd. Touber greatly underestimated the popularity of the event, with huge queues for food, water and toilets most of the day. Despite this, the event proved extremely popular and drew crowds of 12,000 people - Launceston's population was 90,000 at the time.

2002 Hobart

The second was held at the TCA Ground at the Domain in Hobart in March 2002 under sponsorship from the state government. Featuring the American band Incubus and the Australian bands; Machine Gun Fellatio, Sonic Animation, Grinspoon, Killing Heidi and numerous Tasmanian bands. Despite bad weather and the late cancellation of a headlining act (Silverchair), the second festival drew crowds of over 13,000 people.

2002 Launceston


Gone South

2002 Launceston

The third Gone South was in Launceston in November 2002. There were a few unusual changes that made this event less popular. First of all, country singer Kasey Chambers was one of the acts, which was very out of alignment with the other acts - Grinspoon, Alex Lloyd, Sonic Animation, Superheist, Motor Ace, You Am I and Pacifier. Second, it was only eight months since the previous concert. Third, it was in November, which was during exams for many school and University students. Amid threats to cancel the event due to poor ticket sales, the event went ahead, although a much smaller crowd than usual at 9000.

2003 Launceston

The fourth and most recent event was again in Launceston in December 2003. Scheduled for the weekend before Christmas, plans were looking great, with popular bands Powderfinger, John Butler Trio, The Living End, 1200 Techniques, and The Butterfly Effect on the line-up, as well as classic Australian band The Church. However, it happened that another festival, the Falls Festival, was announced at Marion Bay for New Year's Eve - less than two weeks later. The Falls Festival had a much bigger and wide ranging line-up, as well as being in the south of the state. Sales for Gone South tickets were again very slow, and the event finally went ahead with as few as 7000 tickets sold. By comparison, the Falls Festival for that year sold around 10,000 tickets.

Reformed Churches in Namibia

The Reformed Churches in Namibia is a confessional Reformed church in Namibia. Reformed people come from Angola to Namibia in 1929. The Dorslandtrekkers were mostly Reformed people who had settled in Angola but later moved to Namibia. The Dorslandtrekkers were originally from Transvaal, South Africa, and migrated northwestward starting in 1874 in two large and one smaller group, starting the Humpata Reformed Church under the Rev. Jan Lion Cachet. Later in 1930 3 congregations were established. More farmers came and the church grew. Missionary work was started in 1969 under the Bushmans of the Gobabis region, Botswana. It has 2,757 members and 14 congregations, and adheres to the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dort.There's no women ordination. Official languages are Afrikaans, Bushman, Gobabis-Kung.

Reasons for repatriation

An unsuccessful effort was made as early as 1883 to get the Angola-Afrikaners to return to Transvaal. For some time, the emigrants led a very comfortable life, but remained strangers to the land. The coming of the railways eroded their living from wagon shipping, and their hunting revenue declined. Agricultural consolidation also worked against them. Relationships with the Portuguese authorities deteriorated as the latter came to rely less on the Trekkers to teach them animal husbandry and shooting. The Swedish traveler and Army officer Peter Möller commented as early as 1895-1896 on some of the many reasons the Afrikaners may want to leave Angola: "The Boers could not obtain full citizenship, gain full ownership of their farms, or teach their children in Afrikaans, and their [Protestant] faith was threatened while their chance to make a living farming or shipping declined."


Reformed Churches in Namibia

Leaders of the Afrikaner community petitioned the Union government to help them return to South African territory, especially in the South West Africa (SWA) mandate. After negotiations between the Portuguese governor and the Union land minister, the Gen. J.B.M. Hertzog government pledged £500,000 for the second great trek of the Angola-Boers south across the Cunene River to SWA. On August 22, 1928, the first group crossed the Kunene near Swartbooisdrift, and by February 27, 1929, 1,922 people, including 373 families, had been repatriated to SWA. A number of people also emigrated to SWA and South Africa by ship in 1928-29. Not all 420 families issued certificates for the purpose emigrated. Many Afrikaners in northern Angola, who may not have been aware of the migration, were not issued certificates then, but the last Afrikaners returned from Angola in 1930-31.

Church founding

The approximately 300 whites who arrived in Angola in 1880 were almost all affiliated to the Reformed Churches in South Africa (GKSA or Gereformeerde Kerk), and so the Humpata church was affiliated with that denomination by the church council. In 1928, however, quite a few Angola-Boers were affiliated to the Dutch Reformed Churches in South Africa (NHK), the result of a schism in Angola in 1908. Therefore, the first three congregations of the NHK also stemmed from the repatriation in 1937: in Gobabis on July 31, in Otjiwarongo on August 21, and in Grootfontein on September 4. After the repatriation, there remained in Angola only 15 members of the NHK in Angola, but 35 whole families in the GKSA. The NHK in Humpata did not disband until 1958 (with the last great repatriation), while the Humpata Reformed Church had already done so in 1926. The disparity persists in Namibia today in the GKSA's Namibian numbers of 2,000 confirmed members and the NHK's local tally of 1,058.


Reformed Churches in Namibia

The schism in the Reformed Churches erupted at an April 6, 1908 church council meeting, where it became apparent that most members of the Humpata congregation differed from the Synod over the mission. The following day, 118 members renounced their GKSA membership, objecting to their pastor, Rev. H.P.J. Pasch (Humpata pastor from 1908 to 1911) preaching to the native mat volk ("tame folks," as the Boers called the servants they brought with them on their journey) and administering sacraments only every three months. On April 18 of the same year, 124 members informed the Synod they needed to withdraw from the Reformed Church because their sense of the mission was "at odds with the insights of the Synod." Some withdrew their resignation soon afterward. Appeals by the schismatics to the Dutch Reformed Church in the Netherlands proper failed when the latter declared the NHK position Scripturally erroneous and advised the malcontents to reconcile themselves with the Rev. Pasch and the South African church that had spiritually and financially nurtured them, a prospect with which the schismatics were dissatisfied.

Therefore, the Rev. Pieter van Drimmelen founded the NHK congregation in Humpata on May 31, 1910. After the Rev. Van Drimmelen drew up the bylaws, 34 people signed them, all but one heads of household. On January 11, 1919, the Mombolo NHK congregation was also founded by the Rev. Van Drimmelen with 14 charter members. He died on his return to Humpata. In 1923, the NHK Rev. S.J. Strydom described ecumenical relations between the GKSA and NHK in Angola to still be poor, but not as "miserably bad" as immediately after the schism. By 1926, the controversy had largely subsided, however. GKSA members attended NHK services, but there were some NHK worshippers who would never set foot in a GKSA church.


Reformed Churches in Namibia

The GKSA and NHK thus were both tasked with participating in a church council in the mandate lands. The Dutch Reformed Churches in South Africa (NGK), which had almost no Dorsland Trekker members and urged the few remaining ones after the evacuation to turn to the GKSA. In fact, the Gobabis Reformed Church (NGK), the main center for the repatriated Afrikaners, was founded in 1939, nine years before the local GKSA church and two years before the local NHK one. The Aranos (1952) and Outjo (1943) were also not the result of repatriation.

Founding of Gobabis

Angola-Boers made up the bulk of the Gobabis Reformed Church, founded in 1930 under the GKSA.

In Kerk in 'n beter land: Die Kerkverhaal van die Dorsland- en Angolatrekkers 1873–1937, J.M. van Tonder (ed.) writes as follows about the Afrikaners' role in the founding of the settlement: "The Particular Synod of the Cape Reformed Church had, on May 26, 1930, delegated the Rev. H.S. van Jaarsveld to seek out members from Angola and South Africa and organize a church to guide them in the Word and the Sacrament. The Rev. Van Jaarsveld met with the elders Sarel du Plessis and E.T. Meyer and traveled to Farm 412, where a large group of parishioners awaited." Prof. Dr. Jooste write in his Gedenkboek van die Dorstandtrek:


Reformed Churches in Namibia

During the first week of June, the Rev. Van Jaarsveld concentrated on testimonial catechism. On Saturday, June 6, 1930 (actually the next day), the Gobabis congregation was founded (on the Auheib farm). The Rev. Van Jaarseveld blessed the inauguration with the words of Ephesians 2:19-22: 'Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.' On June 6, 1930, all the church councilors of Angola gathered to approve the new congregation. An emotional moment arose when the last minutes from a meeting in Humpata, Angola, were read, approved, and signed by the council. Grounds acquisition was discussed, and the Humpata church council agreed to stay active until the foundation. A letter would also be sent to GKSA members in Ghanzi, Botswana, to which Gobabis would be the nearest GKSA congregation. On Saturday, June 7, 1930 (the Gobabis congregation's foundation date), the Reformed Church members gathered at Helew 408 farm, near the house of P.C. Akkerman, to pitch the tent. There were 364 confirmed and 462 baptized members, altogether 826, in the new Gobabis S.W.A. Reformed Church. The Rev. Van Jaarsveld, the chairman, explained to the congregation that the existing Angola church council had been dissolved and a new one needed to be elected, which it then was by secret ballot. The new councilors would be confirmed during the dedication service. As in Angola, a cattle fund was established to which people were expected to contribute to the best of their ability.

Also in 1930, the Gibeon and Outjo congregations were founded, because the Gibeon district (on the Nossob River) and the Outjo district were the two remaining locales toward which Afrikaners had returned from Angola. Gibeon's name was changed in 1938 to Omrah and in 1959 to Aranos.

Further foundations

The first GKSA pastor in South West Africa was the Rev. H.F.V. Kruger, who founded the Reddersburg Reformed Church with A.S.E. Yasel on the Halma farm on November 14, 1931. Kruger served in all three congregations (Gibeon, Outjo, and Gobabis), and also visited Keetmanshoop, where a congregation was founded in 1936. The members in Ghanzi, Bechuanaland, were also his responsibility. The members there founded a church in 1948, but it was dissolved in 1973. The Rev. Kruger left the area in 1935 to become pastor in Fauresmith, Free State. On May 17 of that year, he left the SWA congregations, leaving them without a pastor until 1939, and so they sought various pastors from the Union (Cape Particular Synod). More Namibian congregations came and went:

 1. Usakos Reformed Church (1953-1960)
 2. Bitterwater Reformed Church (Windhoek district) (1935-1964)
 3. Bethanie Reformed Church (1969-1975)
 4. Kamanjab Reformed Church (1969-1977)
 5. Erongo Reformed Church (1972-1982)
 6. Oshakati Reformed Church (1988-1990)
 7. Rundu Reformed Church (1988-1993)


Reformed Churches in Namibia

After several candidates were interviewed in vain, the Rev. J.L. van der Merwe from the Kuruman Reformed Church was hired for the Gobabis parish, and confirmed as such on March 3, 1939 to serve Gobabis, Windhoek, Bitterwater, Omrah, and Keetmanshoop. He occasionally visited Ghanzi as well. Outjo was then served by Cape pastors; the Rev. H.S. van Jaarsveld was the main one active there. The Rev. Van der Merwe went to Windhoek first, but difficulties serving the area from there led him to relocate to Gobabis in May 1940. The financial prognosis of the congregations was poor, requiring most to travel by train to Windhoek or Keetmanshoop. It took several days to make the journey. When visiting Bitterwater and Omrah (Aranos) by car, he was often gone from Gobabis for eleven days. However, the ministry was easier than it had been for the Rev. Kruger, in part thanks to improved roads in the area. The Rev. Van der Merwe worked hard to build the Gobabis church, but World War II delayed his plans, so it would not be until October 27, 1944, that he would return to begin construction.

The Keetmanshoop Reformed Church, the fifth GKSA church in Namibia to be founded in 1936, was the first unrelated to the repatriation, since most members were immigrants from the Cape and Transvaal provinces of South Africa who had settled around Keetmanshoop, Mariental, and Karasburg. The sixth and last congregation founded before World War II was the Windhoek Reformed Church in the regional capital. The Windhoek Reformed Church (NGK), founded in 1929, was the fifth congregation of its denomination in Namibia, as was the Windhoek Reformed Church (NHK), founded on November 25, 1950, after those in Gobabis, Otjiwarongo, Grootfontein, and Outjo.


Reformed Churches in Namibia

From 1935 to 1949, pastors from the Cape visited members of the Otjiwarongo, Outjo, and Keetmanshoop congregations, while pastors from Gobabis ministered in Windhoek, Aranos, Leonardville (part of the Aranos congregation), and Ghanzi. In 1950, Dr. D.C.S. van der Merwe was confirmed as Windhoek's first full-time pastor, and he stayed there until 1957, when he left to serve as a missionary at the Potchefstroom-Noord Reformed Church. The Rev. Johan van Ryssen had in 1949 already become the first pastor to serve Outjo regularly, until he left for Parys, Free State in 1953. Otjiwarongo started in 1955 with a full-time pastor, the Rev. M.W. van der Walt, who stayed there until 1958. According to the agreement by which the Otjiwarongo congregation seceded from Outjo, the Rev. Van der Walt preached 11 Sundays a year in Grootfontein, 11 in Walvis Bay and Usakos, and 22 in Otjiwarongo. In 1959, he was replaced by E.W. Meyer, who in 1965 accepted a post at the Pongola Reformed Church near Goedgegund, Swaziland.

In 1959, the centennial year of the GKSA, there were 12 congregations in South West Africa with 1,436 confirmed and 1,328 baptized members served by 4 pastors. In 1998, the two Klassis (Nossob and Etosha) included 1,887 confirmed and 877 baptized members served by 11 pastors. By 2014, there were 1,723 confirmed but only 481 baptized members. That year, 9 pastors were active in 17 congregations (18 including the missionary congregation known as the Sanveld Reformed Church). The Klassis Etosha included most of the congregations, but Aranos, Outjo, Biermanskool (known as Vanjaarsveld from 1955 to 1961 and from 1961 to 1985 as Outjo-West), Namib-Kus, and Khomas-Hoogland) belonged to Klassis Waterberg before their 2016 secession from the GKSA.

Frank Hall Standish

Frank Hall Standish with the Quorn Hunt by John Ferneley, Snr, 1819

Frank Hall Standish (born Frank Hall, 2 October 1799 – 1840) was an English landowner and an art and book collector.

He was born in 1799 at Darlington, County Durham to Charlotte Key and her husband Anthony Hall, the latter dying later the same year. At the age of thirteen he successfully claimed the estate of his distant cousin Sir Frank Standish, Bt., (as the great grandson of Margaret Standish, Sir Frank's aunt), which included the manor of Duxbury and Duxbury Hall near Chorley, Lancashire.baronetcy which was extinguished.

During his adult years Standish travelled extensively on the continent, spending much of his very substantial income on the purchase of art works and books. He lived chiefly in Seville. He published a number of long poems, and books of travel and topography

Frank Hall Standish died in 1840 at Cadiz, unmarried and probably without issue, and was buried in the Standish crypt at St Laurence's, Chorley.

"Piqued at the English ministry's refusal to revive the baronetcy",Louis Philippe. Until the revolution of 1848, the art works were displayed in the Standish gallery in the Louvre. Subsequently, Louis Philippe reclaimed them as his private property and the whole was sold in 1852–3, the drawings, etc., in Paris and the paintings in London. The books passed to his son, Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale and formed part of the collection which he bequeathed to the Institut de France along with the Château de Chantilly. They are still held there in the Musée Condé.

Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns

Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns.

The Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns in Tarrytown, New York, serves both Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow, New York. It was constructed in 1837 as an extension of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow to serve the Tarrytown community.

The new community of Dutch Reformed would have had its own Elders and Deacons and shared a minister with the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow. That church has a similar arrangement with the Dutch Reformed at Cortlandt Manor dating from 1697 when the Sleepy Hollow community was first recorded as established, though the structure had been completed in 1685 and the community had been there for long before. The Cortlandt Manor community had its own Elders and Deacons but recognized the community at Sleepy Hollow as its head, and regularly went down to the village for services and to record their births and marriages.

The community at Tarrytown became independent from Sleepy Hollow in the 1850s and soon after dropped the “Dutch” association from its name. As the Sleepy Hollow community diminished and the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow became less used, the Tarrytown community adopted the name for their landmark church the Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns, adding that it was a “continuation of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow.”

Presenting an impressive façade on North Broadway, the structure's steeple remains the highest point on North Broadway and the tallest physical structure in Tarrytown, despite not being built on the heights of the city. The church's porch of four columns supporting an extended pediment offers a refined architectural addition to the business district of historic Tarrytown.

Gay Alliance of Students v. Matthews

Gay Alliance of Students v. Matthews, 544 F.2d 162 (1976) is a United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit case in which a student at Virginia Commonwealth University sued Alfred T. Matthews, Dean of Student Life and Wyndham B. Blanton, Jr., member of Board of Visitors for recognition and access to university resources as a student organization. Upon application, VCU rejected a group of students' request to practice as an official student group at the university on the basis of the groups advocacy for gay rights and liberation. Two years after the rejection, the 4th District ruled for VCU to reverse their decision and grant the Gay Alliance of Students (GAS) the same rights as registered student organizations at the university are granted.

Background

Originally organized September 1, 1974,

Stated objectives for the student group were "1. To develop a supportive community among individuals who believe in the individual's right to self determination with specific regard to freedom of choice of sexual orientation and 2. To convene educative situations for the members and for the campus university with regards to gay life

When submitted to the VCU Office of Student Life, normal practices were not taken and instead the application was forwarded to the Board of Visitors to decide. The board ruled on October 17, 1974, that they would not approve for registration on the basis that the club "was not in the best interest of the institution in terms of the total job of the institution".

Efforts for registration

The method in which the application was submitted was unusual in that it went straight to the Vice President for Student Affairs who then sent it to the Board of Visitors. The result was a ruling to deny the student group from registration (the only group to have been denied) with no further reasoning.

Ruling

On November 7, 1975, Judge D. Dortch Warriner ruled that VCU grant the Gay Student Alliance access to university facilities, and access and use of campus media outlets, specifically campus newspapers, radio, and advertising

While the group alone was responsible for all legal fees, GAS organized a dance benefit at Cha Cha Palace on February 15 with a turnout of over 300 people which resulted in success to repay their debt.
