John Anthony Galignani (1796–1873), together with his brother, William (1798–1882), was a publisher and bookshop owner in Paris.

Family

They were the sons of Giovanni Antonio Galignani (1757–1821), by Anne Parsons (1776–1822). The surname probably derived from the village of Gallignano, near Cremona; Giovanni was a native of Brescia. There is a tradition that the father was originally a courier. In 1793 he taught Italian, German, and English at Paris. He thence removed to London, where in 1796 he published twenty-four lectures on a new method of learning Italian without grammar or dictionary. A second edition of this work was issued by Montucci in 1806. Galignani apparently married in London, and his two sons were born there, the elder on 13 October 1796, the younger on 10 March 1798. Shortly after William's birth Giovanni Antonio Galignani returned to Paris, where he and his wife offered linguistic breakfasts and teas to persons desirous of mastering English or Italian, but for the latter language there appears to have been little demand, and "Mrs. Parsons-Galignani" established an English bookshop and circulating library.

In 1801 the Galignanis started a monthly (in 1817 it became a weekly) 'Repertory of English Literature.' A third son, Charles Alphonse, was born at Paris in 1811; he died at Geneva in 1829. On the fall of Napoleon in 1814 the father commenced issuing guide-booksEurope, as the stamp duty and postage rendered London journals expensive. In 1815 he published a Paris guide in English and German, on opposite pages, for the use of officers of the allied troops.

Reprinting business and bookshop

Reprinting business and bookshop

The elder son, while still under age, opened a bookshop at Cambrai, but returned to Paris at or before his father's death, when he became the chief partner. The two brothers issued reprints of many English books, sometimes paying authors for advance-sheets. Sir Walter Scott, for instance, on visiting what he calls the 'old pirate's den' in 1826, was, 'after some palaver,' offered a hundred guineas for sheets of his 'Life of Napoleon.' The 'den' was at the bottom of a court, 18 rue Vivienne, and though so central, a garden with large trees was attached to it. It served as a club for English residents and visitors, who paid six francs a month, the reading room containing English and continental newspapers and eighteen thousand books. Both brothers obtained denizenship in December 1830, and in 1832 William was naturalised, Anthony (he had dropped his first name) remaining a British subject. In 1838 Thackeray, then in Paris, wrote for the 'Messenger.'

Philanthropy

In 1852 the copyright treaty put a stop to Galignani's reprints, and in 1855 the establishment was removed to the rue de Rivoli.Corbeil with a hospital and extensive grounds. They were also liberal contributors to British charities in Paris, and erected at Neuilly a hospital for indigent English (now converted into an orphanage). In 1866 the British government presented them with a silver epergne in recognition of their benevolent efforts. Anthony, who was unmarried, died 29 Dec. 1873, and William, a widower since 1862, without issue, died 11 Dec. 1882. The elder was knight and the younger officer of the Legion of Honour. The latter bequeathed a site and funds for the erection at Neuilly of the 'Retraite Galignani freres' for a hundred inmates, fifty of them to pay five hundred francs yearly for their maintenance, the other fifty to be admitted gratuitously and to comprise ten booksellers or printers, twenty savants, and ten authors or artists, or parents, widows, or daughters of such. The aggregate benefactions of the brothers amount to between five and six million francs. A fine sculpture of them, by Chapu, has been erected at Corbeil.

Chelfham railway station

Chelfham railway station was a station on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon, England. The station stood at the head of the spectacular Chelfham Viaduct, and served the village of Chelfham below.

History

It opened with the line on 11 May 1898, and closed with it after service on 29 September 1935. From 1923 until closure, the line was operated by the Southern Railway.

The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Trust bought Chelfham station in 2000 and the station site is currently undergoing restoration while the group operates the railway at Woody Bay as a tourist attraction.

The weatherboard extension, originally built by the Southern Railway to house scales for weighing parcels, was damaged beyond repair by strong winds in 2006.

This article is about waterway event. For the song by Five for Fighting, see Boat Parade (song).

Boat parades are a waterway event with illuminated boats. Some of the well known water parades include locations such as Walt Disney World, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade,Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale's annual parade in December is titled the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.Intracoastal waterway and heading north to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach.

Sports teams in Tampa, Florida traditionally have a boat parade down the Hillsborough River when they win a championship rather than a victory parade through the streets of the city like in most other places.

Historical provinces of Finland

Historical provinces of Finland
(the borders of modern regions with yellow colour)

Provinces of Sweden from 1658 to 1809, with modern countries coloured.

The historical provinces (Finnish: historialliset maakunnat, singular historiallinen maakunta, Swedish: historiska landskap) of Finland are a legacy of the country's joint history with Sweden. The provinces ceased to be administrative entities in 1634 when they were superseded by the counties, a reform which remained in force in Finland until 1997. The provinces remain as a tradition, but have no administrative function today. The spread of Finnish language dialects approximately follows their borders.

The first name in the parentheses is the Finnish name and the second is the Swedish one.

Finland Proper (Varsinais-Suomi, Egentliga Finland) Karelia (Karjala, Karelen) Laponia (Lappi, Lappland) Ostrobothnia (Pohjanmaa, Österbotten) Satakunta (Satakunta, Satakunda) Savonia (Savo, Savolax) Tavastia (Häme, Tavastland) Uusimaa (Uusimaa, Nyland) Åland (Ahvenanmaa, Åland)

Heraldry

At the funeral of King Gustav Vasa in 1560, the coats of arms for the provinces were displayed together for the first time and several of them had been granted for that particular occasion. After the separation of Finland from Sweden in 1809 the traditions for the provincial arms have somewhat diverged. Finland maintains the distinction between ducal and comital dignity shown in the coronets for arms of the historical provinces, while all the Swedish provinces have carried the Swedish style ducal coronet since 1884. The division of Lapland also necessitated a distinction between the Finnish and the Swedish coats of arms.

During the reign of King Karl IX there was emigration from Savonia to the western parts of Sweden and eastern Norway, to the Finnskogen or "Finnish forest." The ancient Savonian dialect was preserved in these areas until the last speakers died in the 1960s.

The coats of arms of the historical provinces have served as a basis for the arms of the current administrative divisions, the regions of Finland.

Lister Drive power station

Lister Drive power station was a series of generating stations that supplied electricity to the City of Liverpool and the wider area from 1900 until 1980. They were owned and collaboratively operated by Liverpool Corporation and Marcus Kemp Coal Limited until the nationalisation of the British electricity supply industry in 1948. The power station was developed in several phases: designated No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 stations. A gas turbine station was commissioned in March 1965.

Equipment specification

Coal was delivered to Lister Drive via sidings from the adjacent Edge Hill and Bootle railway line.

A range of electricity supplies were available (in 1923) to consumers:

  * 3-phase, 50 Hz AC at 230 and 400 Volts.
  * DC 230 and 460 V
  * DC Traction current 500 V


Lister Drive power station

Other Liverpool power stations

Lister Drive was the principal power station serving Liverpool. There were other power stations connected to the system supplying electricity to the City.

In 1923 there were five rubbish destructors burning trade and domestic refuse, the steam raised in the destructor furnaces drove steam turbines. There were 7 × 100 kW, 2 × 150 kW, 5 × 200 kW, and 1 × 500 kW machines generating a DC supply. The total generating capacity was 2.5 MW.

Clarence Dock power station was constructed for Liverpool Corporation in 1931 to be an integral part of the local electricity grid system supplying, in conjunction with Lister Drive, electricity throughout Liverpool.

In 1965 two 56 MW fuel oil fired English Electric gas turbines were installed at Lister Drive.

Lister Drive power station

Under the terms of the Electricity (Supply) Act 1926 (16-17 Geo. 5 c. 51)Central Electricity Board (CEB) was established in 1926. The CEB identified high efficiency ‘selected’ power stations that would supply electricity most effectively; Lister Drive was designated a selected station. The CEB also constructed the national grid (1927–33) to connect power stations within a region.Southport, Preston (Ribble), Warrington and Wigan (Westwood); this was one of three electricity rings in the North West.Bolton, Padiham, Rawtenstall and Kearsley power stations ring; and the third was Manchester, Oldham, Tame Valley and Stockport ring.

Henri Raybaud

Henri Charles Raybaud (born 4 June 1879 in Marseille-16 August,1942) was a French sculptor.

He studied in Paris under Gabriel Thomas and Jean-Antoine Injalbert and made his debut at the Paris Salon des Artistes Français in 1904 with the work "Le Berger et la mer" a plaster bas-relief now held by Marseille's Musée des Beaux-Arts.

"The produce of Provence"  La gare Saint-Charles de Marseille  1923 to 1924  This main railway station has a large flight of stairs designed by the architects Eugène Sénès and Léon Arnal and using reinforced concrete. The competition for the designs of the stairway, intended to improve movement between the town centre and the railway station forecourt, was opened in 1911 but the 1914-1918 war delayed completion of the project until 1925. The stairs run from the railway station to the Boulevard d'Athènes. The area is the site of much sculptural work including a group of lions and children by Arry Bitter"Marseille Colonie Grecque" and "Marseille Porte d'Orient" by Auguste Carli. There are also six small bronze groups representing the produce of Provence. These are by Henri Raybaud and cover "les vendages", "les fruits", "la pêche", "les fleurs", "la moisson" and "la chasse". At the bottom of either side of the main stairs are two large sculptures by Louis Botinelly. One, called "Colonies d'Asie", represents colonial Asia and the other, called "Colonies d'Afrique", represents colonial Africa.

Auriol War memorial (monument aux morts)   Auriol          In Auriol's Cours de Verdun, a winged "angel of victory" stands on a pedestal, her arms aloft. In one hand she holds a crown of laurel and an olive branch in the other.

Trets War memorial (monument aux morts)    Trets           The memorial in Trets' place de la Mairie depicts an "angel of victory" in profile who carries a standard in one hand which appears to flutter in the wind. In the other hand she holds a crown. The original intention was to place a cockerel at the top of the monument but this had to be dropped through lack of funds. The angel wears a helmet and stands on a globe.

Aubagne War memorial (monument aux morts)  Aubagne   1921  This memorial with sculptures in Carrara marble stands in Aubagne's place du Maréchal-Foch. On the top of the pedestal the "angel of victory", her wings spread, holds aloft a crown of laurels. She towers above two soldiers who stand in poses of defiance their hands linked. One wears an "Adrian" helmet and the other the beret of a "chasseur alpin". This part of the memorial was sculpted by François Carli. Below the pedestal, a woman, an allegory for Aubagne, stands with a child and draws their attention to the inscriptions on the monument. To her right are several indications of a " new dawn" including a crowing cockerel and the rays of the rising sun. This section of the memorial was executed by Raybaud.

Henri Ritzen

Henri Ritzen (21 May 1892 – 8 April 1976) was a Dutch painter. He is chiefly known for painting landscapes and religious scenes.

Biography

Ritzen took lessons at the School voor Beeldende Kunsten in Roermond and at the Middelbare Kunstnijverheidsschool (successor of the Stadsteekeninstituut) in Maastricht. His teachers were Jos Postmes and Henri Jonas. Ritzen made his debut in 1933 by exhibiting his work in his hometown of Schinnen.Limburgse Kunstkring in the Stedelijk Museum in Maastricht.

In 1939–1940, three works by Ritzen were exhibited at Onze Kunst van Heden exhibition in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.Brussels.

Ritzen seems to have had his peak in the period before the Second World War. His paintings from that period symbolize Limburg's popular feeling and religiosity. In the period after the war he had various exhibitions in Limburg that also attracted local attention.

Ritzen was not a full-time painter, he was also an art teacher at an evening vocational technical school in Sittard for many years and a local entrepreneur. He was also active in the local cultural community and volunteer within the church. At a later age he developed more as a modern abstract painter in which large areas of color were placed hard against each other.

In 1972, Ritzen became the first person to be named an honorary citizen of the municipality of Schinnen.

Lost in Space (comics)

Lost in Space was a comic book published by Innovation Comics, based upon the television series Lost in Space. It utilized the settings and characters from the series, but was set years after the end of the series, and featured older characters coming to terms with being cut off from Earth for so many years.

History

In the 1980s, Bill Mumy (who played Will Robinson on the series) had tried, and failed, to convince Irwin Allen to allow production of a Lost in Space film for theatres or TV. In 1991, a fledgling publisher called Innovation Comics began to produce an ambitious, high-quality Lost in Space comic, which was authorized and licensed. It was scripted by Mumy himself, and his intention was to reflect the more serious tone of the first season episodes, but this was somewhat undercut by artwork that sexualized the characters of Judy and Penny Robinson, prompting some exasperated notes from Mumy in the editorial pages.

The comic also established a romantic triangle between Judy, Penny (now depicted as someone in her late teens), and Don that was not present in the original series.

One storyline in this comic book retcons the "serious episodes" - which some critics claim ended about a third of the way through the first season - as excerpts from Prof. Robinson's log, while the more humorous episodes were taken from Penny's diary. Also suggested is the idea that Dr. Smith is working with some of the aliens encountered in the early episodes, rather than with any terrestrial source, as evidenced by his efforts to make radio contact with some third party after the Jupiter II has left Earth.

Lost in Space was Innovation's best selling property, outselling all their other comics combined. The comic only managed to run for 18 issues, 2 annuals and 1 of 2 issues of a miniseries however, but not because of poor sales. Innovation's ambitious projects couldn't keep ahead of their bottom line, and the company went out of business.

While this left a major story arc unresolved, a trade paperback entitled "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul" was later published, completing the story.

Other Lost In Space comics

In 1998 Dark Horse Comics published a tie-in comic based on that year's Lost in Space film which ran for three issues.


Lost in Space (comics)

A new comic based on the reboot of Lost in Space, sub-titled Countdown to Danger was published in four parts during 2019. The new comic is written by Richard Dinnick and Brian Buccellato with art by Zid.

Related comics

A comic book named Space Family Robinson was published by Gold Key Comics and written by Gaylord DuBois.

Space Family Robinson was published by Whitman and distributed by Western Publishing and sold for 60 cents each. They featured captions on their front covers such as #58's:

"An Emergency Landing on a War-Torn Planet Brings the Robinsons their strangest experience in Space!"

They were also sold in plastic packages of three comic books for $1.39 ($1.80 value) with other titles in the package such as Buck Rogers #14 and Doctor Solar #30.

In 1966 the weekly UK publication Lady Penelope, the comic for girls who love television, printed Space Family Robinson stories. These used the same characters and technology as the Gold Key titles but were original scripts, not reprints. Authorship is not known for certain, although there is good reason to think that some may have been written by then sub-editor on Lady Penelope, Brian Woodford. The artist was John Burns.

In Broad Street are Balliol College, Trinity College, Exeter College (front entrance in the adjoining Turl Street).Museum of the History of Science (in the original Ashmolean Museum building), the Clarendon Building, the Sheldonian Theatre and the Weston Library (renamed in 2015, part of the Bodleian Library, the main University library in Oxford) are important historical Oxford University buildings at the eastern end of the street. These buildings form the de facto centre of the University, since most academic buildings in the centre of Oxford are owned by individual (and autonomous) colleges rather than the University itself.

To the west, the street becomes George Street. The junction with George Street is a crossroads with Magdalen Street to the north and Cornmarket Street to the south. To the east, the street becomes Holywell Street. The junction with Holywell Street is another crossroads, with Parks Road to the north and Catte Street to the south. The Indian Institute (now The James Martin 21st Century School), designed by Basil Champneys, is on the corner of Catte Street and Holywell Street, but faces Broad Street and visually forms its end.

On Broad Street, the Protestant Oxford Martyrs, Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley (16 October 1555), and later Thomas Cranmer (21 March 1556), were burnt at the stake just outside the city wall.granite setts in the road opposite Balliol College marks the location. Nearby in St Giles', the events are commemorated with a Gothic Revival stone monument, the Martyrs' Memorial.

The city walls were rebuilt in local coral ragstone in 1226–40.artillery had made the walls obsolete, so the city divided the town ditch on the south side of Broad Street into a row of burgage plots, on which buyers built houses and later shops. Most of the wall beside Broad Street was dismantled to reuse its stone, but one bastion survives behind number 6.

The Sheldonian Theatre, set back from Broad Street behind a stone wall, iron railings and stone pillars with a set of stone heads (traditionally Roman emperors), was built in 1664–68 to a design by Sir Christopher Wren for the University of Oxford.

The Old Ashmolean Building was built in 1683 to house Elias Ashmole's collection. It was the world's first museum to open to the public. In 1845, the Ashmolean Museum moved to Beaumont Street and the original Ashmolean building became offices for the Oxford English Dictionary. Since 1924, the building has housed the Museum of the History of Science.

The Clarendon Building was built 1711–15 to house the Oxford University Press's printing operations. It was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, a pupil of Wren.

The academic and physician Henry Acland (1815–1900) lived in the street at number 40 on the site of the Weston Library, part of Oxford University's Bodleian Library. His daughter Sarah Angelina Acland (1849–1930), a pioneer of colour photography, was born here.

The pioneer photographer Henry Taunt (1842–1922) had a shop and studio at 9–10 Broad Street, moving here from Cornmarket Street in 1874. He also established a picture-framing business in Boxall's Yard, behind the premises. The lease expired in 1894 and he was forced to file for bankruptcy.

Blackwell's bookshop, on the north side of the street, was founded by Benjamin Henry Blackwell, the son of the first city librarian, in 1879. The shop was initially only 12 feet square, but quickly grew to include space upstairs, in the cellar, and neighbouring shops.

During 1894–1923, the Holywell Press had its premises and bookshop at 29 Broad Street in the former Chapel of St Mary at Smith Gate.Hertford College and is now formally at the northern end of the adjoining Catte Street.

David Broucher

David Stuart Broucher (born 5 October 1944) is a former British diplomat. He served as British Ambassador to the Czech Republic between 1997 and 2001.

He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

Hutton Inquiry

At the Hutton Inquiry Broucher reported a conversation with David Kelly at a Geneva meeting in February 2003, which he described as from "deep within the memory hole". Broucher related that Kelly said he had assured his Iraqi sources that there would be no war if they co-operated, and that a war would put him in an 'ambiguous' moral position. Broucher had asked Kelly what would happen if Iraq were invaded, and Kelly had replied, 'I will probably be found dead in the woods'.

Frank Medlicott

Frank Medlicott

Brigadier Sir Frank Medlicott CBE (10 November 1903 – 9 January 1972) was a National Liberal Party and later Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.

He first stood for parliament as a Liberal, contesting Acton in 1929.

He was elected as a National Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for East Norfolk at a by-election in 1939 after the National Liberal MP Viscount Elmley had succeeded to the peerage as the 8th Earl Beauchamp.

After the Woolton-Teviot agreement in 1947, The National Liberals and Conservative Party merged local party associations and fielded joint candidates. Many candidates, including Medlicott, described themselves as "Conservative and National Liberal", or other permutations of the two names.

When the East Norfolk constituency was abolished for the 1950 general election, Medlicott was elected as Conservative and National Liberal MP for Central Norfolk. In November 1956 Medlicott was a firm opponent of the Eden government's decision to invade the Suez canal zone, but his stance was not supported by the Central Norfolk Conservative and National Liberal Association which passed a resolution dissociating themselves from the views of their MP.

On 1 May 1957 Medlicott announced that he would not contest the next election, writing to the association to tell them that he rejected their view that the Member of Parliament should do what party leaders tell him. In November 1957, Medlicott resigned the Conservative whip. He was invited to be the Liberal Party candidate for the constituency but declined, and in November 1958 he applied to receive the Conservative whip again (which was granted). Medlicott duly retired from the House of Commons at the 1959 election. He re-joined the Liberal Party, however, he did not stand again for election. From 1969 he served as the Liberal Party's National Treasurer.

Historical regions of Romania

The historical regions of Romania are located in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe.Romania came into being through the unification of two principalities, Wallachia and Moldavia in 1862.Dobruja in 1878, and Transylvania in 1918.

These regions are part of Romania today:

Wallachia (united with Moldavia in 1859 to create modern Romania):

  * Muntenia (Greater Wallachia);
  * Oltenia (Lesser Wallachia): the territory between the rivers Danube and Olt and the Southern Carpathians became part of the Principality of Wallachia in the early 14th century.

Moldavia (united with Wallachia in 1859 to create modern Romania):

  * Western Moldavia: in today's form part of Romania since 1944;
  * Southern Bukovina: following the union with Romania in 1918 (initially, the entire region of Bukovina was part of Romania, until World War II).

Dobruja:

  * Northern Dobruja: in Romania since 1878 (with the exception of some Danubian islands and Snake Island, which were incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1948, and became part of Ukraine in 1991).

Wallachia, western Moldavia, and Dobruja are sometimes referred collectively as the Regat (The Kingdom), as they formed the Romanian "Old" Kingdom before World War I.

Transylvania (the term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also part of the historical regions of Crișana, Maramureș, and Banat. The new borders were set by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 between the respective states):

  * Transylvania proper: following the declaration of the union with Romania in 1918;
  * Banat: since 1918 claimed and eventually divided between Romania, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (today Serbia) and Hungary;
  * Crișana: the region bordered by the rivers Mureș and Someș and the Apuseni Mountains, following the declaration of the union in 1918,
  * Maramureș: part of the mountainous northwestern region, following the declaration of the union in 1918,Czechoslovakia and Romania (today, Northern Maramureș is part of Ukraine).


Historical regions of Romania

Between 1918 and 1920, during the Revolutions and interventions in Hungary, the Hungarian–Romanian War affected also part of these territories until the final resolution of state affairs by the Paris Peace Conference.

Administrative map of Romania in 1930

These regions and territories were part of Romania in the past:

  * Bessarabia: this territory was part (as the eastern half) of Moldavia until 1812, when it was incorporated into the Russian Empire. The entire region became part of Romania from 1918 to 1940 when it was occupied by the Soviets. Romania managed to annex it again in 1941, but lost it back in 1944, during World War II.
  * Southern Bessarabia (including a part of Budjak): in 1856, the southern part of Bessarabia was returned to Moldavia, which united with Wallachia in 1859 to create modern Romania. In 1878, Romania was pressured into exchanging this territory for the Dobruja, and Russian rule was restored over it.
  * Northern Bukovina: the region was part of Romania from 1918 to 1940 when it was occupied by the Soviets; Romania managed to annex it again in 1941, but lost it in 1944. Today it is part of the Chernivtsi Oblast in Ukraine.
  * Hertsa region: a territory of Moldavia, it was part of Romania from 1859 to 1940, when it was occupied by the Soviets; Romania managed to annex it again in 1941, but lost it in 1944. Today it is part of the Chernivtsi Oblast in Ukraine.
  * Southern Dobruja: was annexed from Bulgaria in 1913, after the Second Balkan War. It became Bulgarian again after 1940.
  * Snake Island: an island located in the Black Sea, that was part of Romania between 1878 and 1948.

Broad Street, Bristol

Broad Street, along with High Street, Wine Street and Corn Street, is one of the four original streets that have made up the city of Bristol since Saxon times, when it was the burgh of Brycgstow.

Prior to the building of The Exchange merchants would set up their stalls on Broad Street. An old city gate stands at the bottom of the street, where it joins Quay Street.

Notable architecture

Going downhill from the junction with Corn Street, other notable buildings include Christ Church with St Ewen, designed and built by William Paty in the late 18th century, a former branch of the Bank of England designed by Charles R Cockerell in Greek Doric style, the Thistle Hotel, Bristol by Foster and Wood in Italian Renaissance, the Guildhall in Gothic style by Richard Shackleton Pope and the Art Nouveau Edward Everard printing works.

The printing works features a mural designed by W J Neatby depicting Gutenberg and William Morris, the founders of modern printing; a woman holding objects to represent Light and Truth and the spirit of Literature. It is made from Carrara- Ware marble tiles.

Tailor's Court is a small side lane leading off Broad Street. Here can be seen the Merchant Tailor's Guild Hall, built in 1740.

St John's Gate

St John's Gate in 1931

St John's Gate, which stands at the bottom of the street, is the last remaining part of the city wall, with Church of St John the Baptist built above it. The two side passages were created in the 1820s. Niches in the wall contain the figures Brennus and Belinus, according to legend they founded the city. Nearby St John's Conduit was originally built for the friary of the Carmelites but also supplied the people of Brandon Hill. The parishioners were allowed to use only the overflow from the system, and they took advantage of this again during the blitz of World War II when water mains had been damaged.


CARMAnation

CARMAnation is a website for people to rent out their private parking. Founded by Ilya Movshovich and Ashley Cummings, in January 2013, and headquartered in Silicon Valley, the company is privately owned and operated by Carmanation, Inc.

Users of the site must register and create a personal online profile before using the site. Every parking spot is associated with a host whose profile includes recommendations by other users, reviews by previous guests, as well as a response rating and private messaging system.

The company is also looking into including corporate parking lots that clear out when employees go home after 5 pm.

History

In December 2012, Ilya Movshovich created the initial concept for CARMAnation (at that time calling it Swap-n-park). A few months later Ashley Cummings joined as a co-founder of "Swap-n-park". The company was founded on January 1, 2013.

Name change and growth

In January 2013, the conceptual name "Swap-n-park" was officially changed to CARMAnation and registered under Carmanation, Inc. CARMAnation.com officially launched in Silicon Valley on March 1, 2014.

Company

One year later from the original conception, the founding team headquarters itself in Movshovich’s condominium on Sansome Street in Silicon Valley. As of June 2014 the founding team is self-funding the company, and has started speaking with investors to raise their first seed round to continue the rapid growth in the Bay Area and future expansion into other cities throughout the United States, with a plan to move into its first Silicon Valley office space.

The CARMAnation founding team acts as the key managerial staff for CARMAnation: Ilya Movshovich, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer; Ashley Cummings, Co-Founder and Vice President of Communication.

Business model

CARMAnation runs on a marketplace platform model where it connects parking hosts and drivers, and enables transactions without owning any parking spots itself. Such platforms disrupt traditional industries by creating new sources of supply and relying on curation for developing quality.

Operation


CARMAnation

Operation

CARMAnation is an online marketplace for parking sharing, that connects users with private parking to users looking for parking spaces. Users are categorized as “Parking Hosts” and “Guests;” both of which must register with CARMAnation using a variety of means. A valid email address or Facebook account are the only requirements to build a unique user profile on the website.

CARMAnation facilitates online payments from guest to parking host through Stripe.com which securely processes payment transactions. The company’s revenue comes from a 15% commission of the guest payment. If the parking host offers their parking space free-of-charge, the company charges 30 cents to cover the transaction cost acquired through access to Stripe.com, the rest in full goes into an established bank account of the respective charity.

Limburg Chronicle

Limburg Chronicle, or Festi Limpurgenses, is the name of a German chronicle that was probably written by Tilemann Elhen von Wolfhagen after 1402. It is a source for the history of the Rhineland between 1336 and 1398, but is perhaps more valuable for the information about German manners and customs, and the old German folksongs and stories which it contains. It has also a certain philological interest.

The chronicle was first published by Johann Friedrich Faust in 1617, and was edited by Arthur Wyss for the Monumenta Germaniae historica. Deutsche Chroniken, Band iv. (Hanover, 1883). See A. Wyss, Die Limburger Chronik untersucht (Marburg, 1875).
