Château de Germolles

The two towers at the entrance to the château certainly date from the original building but were reused and reinforced in the 14th century. Even if during the ducal period the château was no longer a fortress, the importance of the rulers of the place required the presence of an escort confined to the châtelet comprising the towers and the guard room.

Sumptuous princely palace

The entrance of the large spiral staircase (14th century)

The reception room above the cellar was used in the 14th century to receive important guests. It was destroyed by a fire at the beginning of the 19th century but the remains indicate its original size. The south wall of the room was decorated with a monumental fireplace on top of which was a gallery for the musicians. The remains of this fireplace were removed in the 20th century to the great hall of the present château. It is adorned with capitals from the workshop of Claus Sluter representing a scene of Chrétien de Troyes’s novel, Yvain, the Knight with the Lion. Today archaeological discoveries made in the château are displayed in the reception room. The château still has a large collection of medieval floor tiles that decorated the floors of the 1st and 2nd floors of the ducal residence. Made of enamelled terracotta, they are decorated with motifs such as daisies, lions that are the symbols of the rulers of the place as well as roses, thistles, sheep, suns, fleur-de-lis etc.

Ducal chapel

The duchess's architect created, above the old lower chapel, a ducal chapel. This is composed of a nave, as well as a choir (architecture) installed in the elegant octagonal turret built as a bartizan and a private and comfortable oratory with its own fireplace. It was reserved for the devotions of the princess. At the end of the 19th century a fire destroyed this exquisite part of the building which was then exposed to the elements. In 2009–2010, restoration work under the supervision and with the financial support of the government and the Department of Saône-et-Loire, was carried out to restore the roof and top part of the turret and recreate the sense of the space of the nave with a modern protection.

Main building and the luxurious comfort of the court of Burgundy


Château de Germolles

Main building and the luxurious comfort of the court of Burgundy

Today the main building is separated from the rest of the château that surrounded the courtyard. It is certainly the most remarkable part of the château. It is particularly well preserved with elements showing the quality of the construction: large windows opening to the outside, turrets with internal spiral staircases cut in stone, gothic fireplaces... Its three floors are the architectural manifestation of the brilliant court of the duke and duchess: the ground floor was used for domestic activities, the first floor contained the ducal apartments and the second, the court apartments.

In one of the kitchens on the ground floor, the large gothic fireplace still in its original position evokes the activities of the place. Gothic Revival architecture wall paintings with rose motifs were revealed during recent restoration work carried out in at the beginning of the 20th century. On the first floor, the dressing room of Margaret of Bavaria (daughter in-law of the ducal couple and future duchess of Burgundy), still possesses its murals that have been recently restored. These paintings by Jean de Beaumetz and his assistant Armoult Picornet are very rare examples of princely wall paintings in France at the end of the Middle Ages. The motifs P and M, initials of the duke and the duchess, cover the walls, along with thistles, a noble flower with sharp prickles which is the emblem of Margaret of Flanders. This decoration which extended to the floor (with floor tiles showing thistles) can be found as well in the adjoining room. Cleaning has revealed wall paintings similar to those in the dressing room. Other wall paintings with roses and daisies have been discovered in other apartments on the first floor.

The garret or rooms under the timbers on the second floor were for the court that accompanied the ducal couple. The ceiling built as an inverted hull of a ship was panelled and the walls were decorated with tapestries. One of these rooms, restored at the beginning of the 20th century is covered with copies of wall paintings from originals of the first floor.

Gardens to accompany the ducal residence

Château de Germolles

The garden created by Margaret of Flanders and the large rose garden have disappeared. Transformed into a romantic English garden at the end of the 19th century, the park has some charming spots with old and rare trees such as a Bald Cypress, a Tulip tree from Virginia, a ginkgo biloba, an araucaria, and groups of lime trees.

Some dates

  * 1380: The duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold, purchased Germolles for his wife, Margaret of Flanders;
  * 1382: beginning of the renovation and re-building of the residence. The work lasted fifteen years during which the château was transformed into a luxurious country estate;
  * 1389: visit of King Charles VI of France;
  * 1393: Claus Sluter carved the famous group showing Philip and Margaret; the duke and duchess are seated under an elm, surrounded by sheep;
  * 1399: a statue of the Virgin Mary was made by Sluter and his workshop and placed at the entrance to the château;
  * 1466: restoration of the group made by Sluter, protected against the elements;

Aethoceras

Aethoceras is a genus of Tarphycerida nautiloids included in the family Estonioceratidae for which the shell is a loosely coiled, gradually expanding dextral torticone with a slightly depressed whorl section. Siphuncle small, ventral, submarginal. Whorl section somewhat resembles early stages of Estonioceras in being laterally fanged. Trochoidal coiling brings to mind the later Trocholitidae. Aethoceras was originally found in the lower Ordovician of Western Australia.

David Young (Ontario politician)

For other people named David Young, see David Young (disambiguation).

David S. Young (born c. 1957) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1999 to 2003. He represented the riding of Willowdale and served as a cabinet minister in the governments of Mike Harris and Ernie Eves.

Background

Young was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.Osgoode Hall Law School of York University in Toronto, and practised law after his graduation. He worked at the firm of Benson McMurtry from 1981 to 1987, and has been a partner in Benson Percival Brown since 1987.Yad Vashem, and was for ten years an executive member of the Ratepayer's Association.

In 2021, David was awarded the Gold Key Achievement Award by the Osgoode Hall Alumni Association. The award recognizes exceptional professional success and leadership and is bestowed upon candidates that have demonstrated a record of professional accomplishment, leadership and contribution to the community.

He and his wife Ellen live in Toronto, Ontario, where they raised three children.

Politics

He began his political career as a school trustee, serving on the North York Public School Board from 1991 to 1997. In the provincial election of 1999, he was elected to the Ontario legislature for the north Toronto riding of Willowdale, defeating Liberal candidate Fahimeh Mortazavi by about 3,500 votes.

Young was named Attorney General and Minister responsible for Native Affairs in the government of Mike Harris on February 8, 2001.Ernie Eves to replace Harris as Premier in 2002. When Eves was sworn into office on April 15, 2002, he kept Young in the Attorney-General's portfolio.


David Young (Ontario politician)

In 2002, Young introduced the Legal Aid Services Amendment Act (Bill 181), which permitted Legal Aid Ontario to hire staff lawyers and contract with individual lawyers and law firms. The Bill was intended to improve Ontario's justice system by granting Legal Aid Ontario enhanced flexibility to permit them to enter into fee-for-service agreements with qualified lawyers and law firms to provide legal aid services in a given community, and expand the functions of family and criminal law duty counsel. Critics argued against the intermingling of the private and public sectors, and suggested that the Bill would lead to a two-tiered legal system in Ontario. Young also increased the hourly payment rates of Legal Aid Ontario workers by 5% an hour.

After a cabinet shuffle on February 25, 2003, Young became the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Many expected that Young would be re-elected in the provincial election of 2003, despite a general decline in Tory support throughout Toronto. Young's performance in cabinet was generally respected, and he was sometimes described as a possible successor to Eves as party leader. The provincial trend, however, was too much to overcome: the Tories were defeated in all of their Toronto seats, and Young lost the Willowdale riding to Liberal candidate David Zimmer by 1,866 votes.

In 2014, David served as a senior advisor, executive committee member and legal counsel to the successful John Tory campaign for Mayor of Toronto.

Caroone House

Caroone House was an office block at 14 Farringdon Street, London EC4, which was built in 1972 on the site of the Congregational Memorial Hall which had been demolished in 1968.

History of Site

The Memorial Hall and Caroone House were built on the site of the old Fleet Prison. The prison was burnt down during the Great Fire of London and while the prison was being rebuilt, the prisoners were relocated to Caron House, South Lambeth, a large mansion house which had been built by Noel de Caron the Netherlands ambassador to England in the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I.

A Greater London Council plaque commemorating the foundation of the Labour Party at the Memorial Hall in 1900 was displayed at the main entrance to Caroone House.

BT

The building was used by Post Office Telecommunications - from 1981 British Telecom (BT) - as the headquarters for its Post Office International Telephones division (designated as ITp) for operating their international business and for telephone tapping. Among other things it was the HQ for managing the operation of ITps International Control Centres (ICCs) in London, Brighton and Glasgow. It was also HQ for what was, at the time, the world's largest international telecoms exchange located on the site of the old Stag Lane Aerodrome in Edgware.Mondial House.

Closure

In 2001 Caroone House was purchased by The British Land Company plc for £24.5 million. The building was demolished in 2004 to be replaced by the Ludgate West development. British Land commenced construction in 2005 with completion in 2007 and today 5 Fleet Place stands on the site. The Labour Party plaque has been reinstated on the wall of the redevelopment.

Municipal elections were held across Latvia on 5 June 2021.Saeima passed a municipal reform in 2020 that reduced the 110 municipalities and 9 cities to 43 municipalities, including 11 state cities and added 5 new Latvian towns: Ādaži, Iecava, Ķekava, Koknese, and Mārupe.Riga City Council is not up for election until 2025, as snap elections were held in August 2020.

On 28 May, following the decision of the Constitutional Court of Latvia that declared a part of the municipal reform about the inclusion of Varakļāni Municipality into the new Rēzekne Municipality unconstitutional, the Central Election Commission (CEC) cancelled elections in the municipalities of both Rēzekne and Madona.Saeima decided on 1 June to reverse the decision of the CEC and to move forward with the elections in Madona Municipality on 5 June as initially scheduled.

Electoral system

All 645 councilors were elected using open-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Webster/Sainte-Laguë method. The number of councilors a given municipality were to elect was determined by the Central Election Commission based on the number of residents in that municipality.

Freddie Sessler

Freddie Sessler

Arden Frederick "Freddie" Sessler (26 May 1923 – 18 December 2000) was the brother of London restaurateur and club owner Siegi Sessler, and a long-term intimate of the Rolling Stones, particularly Keith Richards, to whom he supplied drugs. A raconteur, Sessler claimed to have met and become friends with a number of important figures in twentieth century music. He attributed his manic lifestyle of partying and drug use to being almost the only one of his family to escape extermination by the Nazis during the Second World War.Ronnie Wood described Sessler as a "sex-fuelled, vodka charged, coke mountain".

Early life

Sessler was born in Kraków, Poland in 1923.Kraków became the Third Reich's administrative capital of the region. Initially, a Ghetto was created for the Jewish population of 200,000 (within two years there would be none left) during which time many, including his grandfather and youngest brother, who was four years old, were shot in the town square. Soon after, the regime began sending them to three concentration camps, Bełżec, Płaszów and Auschwitz and Sessler and the surviving members of his immediate family were sent to Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp - from where he, once again, managed to escape, reaching Russia, only to find himself interned in Siberia.

Jazz and the Beatles

In New York, Sessler got a job, initially, as a waiter and started to frequent places such as Birdland. Sessler told Bill German that when he was working at Lindy's, he mixed with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, both friends of Siegi and Billie Holiday and it was at this time he began to procure but never sell drugs.

In 1961, Sessler began spending much of his time in West Germany developing a new type of car. It was there he claimed to have seen the Beatles in Hamburg when they were unknown, and to have become good friends with John Lennon and Eric Clapton. His development finally came to fruition when, in 1963, he set up, with several partners, The Amphicar Corporation of America, as President of the company.

The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones

According to Ronnie Wood, Sessler loved being called "the ultimate Rolling Stones fan" and in his 70s, "the world's oldest rock and roll groupie".

Keith Richards

Sessler was particularly close to Keith Richards and Victor Bockris believes that Richards saw Sessler as a father figure.Life, Richards calls Sessler, "an incredible character, my friend and almost a father to me who will have many parts in this story" and Sessler appears many times in Life.

Drugs

Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath remembered "I was also friends with Ron Wood and the guy who carried the Stones' pure pharmaceutical cocaine in the 60s and 70s, Freddie Sessler... I remember he put a huge mound of glittering, thick cocaine on a plate for me once"Iggy Pop described him as "the kind of guy who can make a party happen".heroin.

Julia Phillips, in You'll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again, remembered going backstage at a Stones' concert: "There is a smelly Israeli [sic] named Freddie who seems to be very important to everybody. He carries two medium-sized bottles filled with rock cocaine."

Sessler lent his name to the slang used by the Stones. The drugs he supplied were known as "Sessler’s Helpers" and his coterie of groupies, who changed from tour to tour, were known as the "Sesslerettes".

Business ventures

Sessler was involved in a number of dubious business ventures, including his Miami Venom Institute which used diluted snake venom to treat serious illnesses. One patient was the by then penniless Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces who was desperately searching for any possible cure from multiple sclerosis.Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sessler opened the Fairfield Hospital in Jamaica.aglets, another selling lightbulbs to the Empire State Building and that he had been involved with the Amphicar. Nothing ever worked out in the long term however and he said "I been a millionaire eight times, and I been broke eight times!"

Personal life

Sessler was married three times. He had three sons, all of whom are deceased.Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Freddie Records

Freddie Records is an American independent record label founded in Corpus Christi, Texas on November 1, 1969, by musician Freddie Martinez. Originally functioning as a recording studio and distributor for Martinez, the label expanded its roster to include other Tejano musicians to avoid financial failure. The label commenced producing albums for an array of artists, including Ramon Ayala, Agustin Ramirez, Oscar Martinez, and Joe Bravo. Ayala became the best-selling act of the label, sustaining the financial stability of Freddie Records throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The label sponsored a Little Joe concert in 1978 and recorded it for their Live for Schlitz album. It led to a ban on future events in the area, though the album remained a lucrative live recording for Freddie Records for two decades. As Tejano music's popularity surged, Freddie Records augmented its foundation by incorporating an additional 6,000 square feet for a second studio and production facility replete with updated MCI equipment capable of accommodating cassette tape and 8-track formats and instigated a release schedule of two albums per month on average.

By 1985, Freddie Records had attained the status of one of the most prosperous independent music labels in the United States. The label awarded gold and platinum certifications to Mazz for Straight from the Heart (1989) and La Sombra for Good Boys Wear White (1990), respectively, and attracted interest from major record companies due to its large catalog. Music analysts maintained that indie music labels were inadequate for rivaling major labels, designating this epoch as the culmination of independent music labels. In March 1992, Freddie Records, Sony, and Fonovisa embarked on a boycott of the Tejano Music Awards following their observation that EMI Latin's artists dominated the 1992 awards event. In July 1994, Martinez unveiled Freddie Records' 2.38-acre headquarters, outfitted with a recording studio, which aided in making Freddie Records the largest indie music label in the state of Texas, reporting $2 million in sales. Its staff could undertake most tasks in-house, including designing artwork, producing tapes, packaging, and distributing merchandise across the United States and Mexico, while CD manufacturing had to be contracted out. At the 1995 Grammy Awards, Ayala and Los Terribles del Norte were both nominated for Best Mexican-American Album, marking the first time Freddie Records' artists had received such recognition.


Freddie Records

By 1996, Freddie Records had experienced thirty years of being the foremost purveyor of the most significant names in regional Mexican music. Despite the genre's descent, Freddie Records exhibited a 14% sales growth during the first quarter of 1997 in comparison to the same period in 1996. Tejano music journalist, Rene Cabrera, writing for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, attributed Freddie Records' commercial triumphs and its endurance under Martinez's stewardship, which helped it to establish itself as the "premier independent Latin record label". While Billboard deemed Martinez as being conservative when seeking out new talent, the label remained vigilant in searching for musicians who can appeal to both norteño and Tejano enthusiasts. Following the establishment of the Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album in 1998, five albums created under Freddie Records were shortlisted for the inaugural 1999 ceremony. Dave Ferman of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times extolled Freddie Records as Tejano music's "most successful independent label ever", upon the Recording Academy's announcement.

In 2000, Martinez Sr., his son Martinez .Jr, and Martinez Sr's brother, Lee Martinez, faced charges of tax fraud. All three defendants denied the allegations of conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of unpaid income tax. In June 2000, the charges were dismissed after prosecutors reviewed the evidence against the accused trio. On June 5, 2002, Martinez, Sr. inaugurated the recently renovated three-story headquarters building of Freddie Records. The construction of the building, designed by Russ Berger, incurred a cost of $4.5 million. The opening ceremony was followed by a night-long celebration featuring the label's roster and the unveiling of the company's Walk of Fame for its artists. In June 2006, Billboard ranked Freddie Records as the leading regional Mexican album imprint, outpacing Sony BMG Norte, EMI Televisa, and Fonovisa. On February 14, 2011, Freddie Records filed for bankruptcy, citing $700,000 in debt with $1,200 in assets. In October 2019, the city council of Corpus Christi released a proclamation announcing a month-long celebration commemorating the 50th anniversary of Freddie Records.

Horus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.

Australian five-cent coin

The Australian five-cent coin is the lowest-denomination circulating coin of the decimal Australian dollar introduced in 14 February 1966, replacing the pre-decimal sixpence. It has been the lowest-denomination coin in general circulation since the withdrawal of the one-cent and two-cent coins in 1992.

Due to inflation, the purchasing power of the five-cent coin continues to drop, and as of 2018 represents 0.27% of the country's minimum hourly wage for workers age 21 or over.

The coin was introduced into circulation on 14 February 1966. In its first year of minting, 30 million were struck at the British Royal Mint (then in London), in addition to 45.4 million at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra. Since then, with the exception of 1981, the coin has been produced exclusively in Canberra. In 1981, 50.3 million were produced at the Royal Mint's new headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales, and 50 million at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, in addition to 62 million in Canberra.

The reverse side depicts an echidna and the obverse side the head of state, Queen Elizabeth II. The only commemorative coin in this denomination was issued in 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of decimal currency.

This coin has the highest mintage of any current coins and doesn't circulate well because of its value, like the euro one-cent.

There has been some debate about removing this coin from circulation as with the New Zealand dollar mainly as stated for its low value and high costs. On 23 May 2009, Fairfax newspapers reported that the Royal Australian Mint planned to scrap the coin.

In May 2007, owing to the high market value of copper and nickel, the bullion value of the coin was about 6.5 cents, though there were no reported cases of hoarding or melting down of the coins despite the apparent 30% gross profit to be made from doing so. Market prices as at June 2018 are about $7/kg for copper and $15/kg for nickel, making the metal content of the 5¢ coin worth only 2.5¢ or 50% of its face value (about the same as for a 10¢ or 20¢ coin). The production cost of the coin was reported to be 12¢.

5c coins are legal tender for amounts not exceeding $5 for any payment of a debt.

Araqi (drink)

For the Levantine unsweetened distilled spirit, see Arak (drink).
For the East Asian liquor, sometimes also spelt "arak", see arrack.

Boy distilling alcohol in South Sudan; most araqi is made in home stills like this.

Araqi (Arabic: عرقي, romanized: ʿaraqī; also araki, aragy)date-liquor distilled in Sudan. The 1983 introduction of sharia in Sudan prevented licit sales of alcohol, but a black market exists to meet local demand. The drink is made by mixing dates with water and yeast, fermenting the mix, and then distilling it. It is usually drunk neat.

During the war in Darfur, a number of southern Sudanese women came to the north as refugees, and found that some of the only professions available to them were prostitution or brewing araqi, the latter being a skill some already had, with a reliable market demand. A 2000 UN report noted that 80% of the women in Khartoum's women's prison were there on charges of prostitution or brewing araqi.

Araqi is also popular in South Sudan, which split from Sudan in 2011 and where alcohol is legal.

Home distilling can lead to methanol poisoning; 10 died and several others were blinded by a batch of incorrectly distilled araqi in East Darfur in 2017.

In 2020, a new law permitted alcohol sales to non-Muslims in Sudan.

Eclectic Society (Christian)

The Eclectic Society was founded in 1783 by a number of Anglican clergymen and laymen as a discussion group, and was instrumental in the founding of the Church Missionary Society in 1799.

Origins

The society's early members included clergyman and poet John Newton (1725 - 1807), Rector of Clapham and founder of Church Missionary Society John Venn (1759 - 1813), Thomas Scott the Commentator, Richard Cecil, and Henry Foster. The Eclectic Society met fortnightly, initially at the Castle and Falcon Inn, and later in the vestry of St John's Chapel, Bedford Road, London. At the outset in 1783, two of the founding clerics were relatively new in their Metropolitan incumbencies; Newton was four years established at St Mary Woolnorth (having moved from Olney), while Foster had held Long Acre for three years (having served as a lecturer in London since 1766). Cecil held parishes in Sussex, but resided in Islington. The society grew in influence as its membership both expanded and matured.

Foreign Missions

Foreign missions were first discussed in 1786, and again in 1789 and 1791 with the growing realization of the scope for a society that would evangelise indigenous peoples around the world. Foreign missions was again discussed in 1796, by which time both the Baptist and London Missionary Societies had been founded, but it was not until three years later that action was taken.

Founding meeting of the Church Missionary Society at Aldersgate Street in the City of London on 12 April 1799

In 1797, Josiah Pratt, a clergyman from Birmingham who came to London as a curate, joined the Eclectic Society and in February 1799 he proposed the following question for discussion: "How far may a periodical Publication be made subservient to the interest of Religion?" The discussions led, two years later, to the starting of the Christian Observer which became for much of the nineteenth century a valuable organ of Evangelical principles and work. The following month, the subject for discussion was "What methods can we use more effectually to promote the knowledge of the Gospel among the Heathen?" and it was ultimately resolved at this meeting to form a society. At a public meeting in April, the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East was formed.

Silversmithing

Joyce Himsworth and her father registered a joint mark at Sheffield Assay Office in 1925, which comprised both sets of their initials. However, just a year later, having established her own workshop at 31 Chelsea Road, Brincliffe, Sheffield she began to use this mark on work she produced as an independent designer silversmith. She studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, London (under H. G. Murphy). In 1934 she received a first class City and Guilds certificate in Goldsmithing and Silversmithing and awarded the highest mark nationally for her enamel work. In 1935 she registered her mark 'JRH' at the London and Sheffield Assay Offices.

From 1925 she was an exhibiting member of the Sheffield Art Crafts Guild (founded in 1894 by Charles Green)."the encouragement of skilled artistic handicrafts, promoting fellowship between artist craftworkers, disseminating information by means of demonstrations, exhibitions and lectures". The Guild was not limited to metalworkers, but embraced a wide range of artistic endeavours such as leatherwork, textile design, architectural design, ceramics and sculpture.
