Stephen G. Bloom

Observations From 20 Years of Iowa Life

In December 2011, Bloom wrote an essay entitled "Observations From 20 Years of Iowa Life" for The Atlantic, characterizing Iowans in terms of his assessment of economic and social challenges facing the state, and questioning whether Iowa's status as the first-in-the-nation caucus is justified.The Atlantic Online accepted it; among those that rejected it were Politico.Comedy Central's The Colbert Report and John King's show on CNN, appearances that never materialized. In an e-mail of Dec. 11, Bloom said that he was scheduled to appear on Colbert on January 3, the night of the Iowa Caucuses, but the appearance did not materialize.

The article provoked outrage from many Iowans, who took offense at Bloom's negative tone, broad stereotypes, and factual errors.The Atlantic ran several corrections, which is "unusual," according to the senior editor who accepted Bloom's submitted article, Garance Franke-Ruta.Sally Mason (who said "he does not speak for the university," described the article as "riddled with inaccuracies and factual errors," and said, "the Iowa I see is one of strong, hard-working, and creative people"),The Oxford Project, wrote an article in the Cedar Rapids Gazette that concluded, "I wish Stephen Bloom's name was not on The Oxford Project.".Freedom of Information Act request by the Iowa City Press-Citizen.

After the controversy erupted, Bloom declined interview requests from Iowa Public Radio, the Des Moines Register, and other Iowa press.Rock Center with Brian Williams on January 2, 2012, telling interviewer Willie Geist, "...this is the way I do it. This is called satire. This is called parody."

Smerup

Smerup is a village in the southern part of Stevns, a peninsula of the Island Sjælland in Denmark, Europe. The village is centered on a church (built around year 1270) and a village pond. The village is situated between the cities Faxe and Store Heddinge. The distance to the city Køge is 25 km. Smerup is parish-of-ease to the neighboring village Store Spjellerup, but is itself church city for the larger neighboring village Store Torøje.

7 farms outside the village limits remain active, while the village numbers 4 shut down farms and about 30 old houses with approximately 50-100 residents of all ages. Bus connections are scarce. Nearest shopping is available in the city Karise (4 km). Spjellerup-Smerup Central School is found 2 km south of the village.

From a distance you see the white church tower; the rest of the village is covered between plantations. An annual civic festival is held which is very popular. The village is a genuine Stevns-village, since it is placed on the eastern side of Stevns Å and Tryggevælde Å. Administratively though, Smerup belongs to Faxe municipality.

History

Smerup is an old village from the years 1000-1100. This is witnessed in the local archive in the year 1310, where the village is named Smith-Thorp. Originally Smerup was a farming village, and all 11 farms were copyhold farms under the manor Vemmetofte. In addition to the 11 farms in the old village and their families, there were a small number of houses inhabited by landless lodgers and workmen (blacksmith, carpenter, weaver etc.).

The farming village is described in detail from around year 1700 with information about residents, land area, buildings and livestock etc. In the summer 1746, 6 farms and 2 houses were caught in a fire, but the farms were rebuilt within a few years. The oldest map of Smerup is from 1790,


Smerup

As a result of the big land reforms in the late 18th century, the farms of Smerup were moved out into the open country in 1830. The ancient village community had come to an end, and the farms were placed near their respective lands. At the same time, ownership of the land was changed in a way where freehold replaced copyhold. Farms were originally named after each copyholder, but were also numbered 1-11 by the administration in Vemmetofte. After freehold was introduced, each freeholder could name his own farm. These names, including 'Tungepil', 'Åbjerg', 'Dyrlund' etc., are still used today.

In the 20th century only two houses were built in Smerup and since then only 1 new house was built in 2006. All other houses are from the 18th and 19th centuries. When the co-op was shut down in 1971 the village became quieter. But in recent years a generational change has taken place which has brought young families with children to the village.

Tyrendarra

This article is about the locality. For information about the lava flow, see Budj Bim. For Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area, see Budj Bim heritage areas.

Tyrendarra (/ˈtɪərəndərə/) is a locality in south west Victoria, Australia. The locality is split between the Shire of Glenelg and the Shire of Moyne local government areas, with most being in the former. It is on the Princes Highway, 338 kilometres (210 mi) south west of the state capital, Melbourne. The Tyrendarra township lies within a bend of Darlot Creek, before it enters the Fitzroy River—which also flows through the locality.

At the 2021 census, Tyrendarra and the surrounding area had a population of 198.

The area was settled in the 1870s and a Post Office opened around February 1879 and closed in 2000.

Tyrendarra is well known for the Tyrendarra Pastoral and Agricultural show held each year at the Tyrendarra sports reserve. The Tyrendarra Rodeo has, since 2017, been replaced with the Tyrendarra Beer Fest.

The town has an Australian rules football team playing in the South West District Football League.

Unusually for Australian towns, Tyrendarra has no hotel. The town does, however, contain two churches.

The Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area, which lies on the Tyrendarra lava flow from the extinct volcano Budj Bim lies between the Fitzroy River and Darlot Creek close to the township.

Traditional ownership

The formally recognised traditional owners for the area in which Tyrendarra sits are the Gunditjmara PeopleGunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

Bootless Inlet

Bootless Inlet or Bootless Bay is a body of water in south-eastern Papua New Guinea, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Port Moresby.Motupore Island, Loloata Island, Manunouha Island, and Bunamotu Island. A barrier reef across the mouth of the inlet protects it from rough seas. Several small creeks empty into the bay, but no large rivers.

History

During World War II, the Australian Army laid land mines along the shore of the inlet near Port Moresby, which later needed to be cleared by divers.

Flora and fauna

Numerous species of fish, shellfish, and turtles may be found in Bootless Bay, and historical evidence indicates that dugongs and crocodiles were once present as well.corals and sponges.

In 1989, Motupore Island was proposed as an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Wildlife Management Area.University of Papua New Guinea research station on the island.

Bootleg ground

A receptacle with a bootleg ground

In building wiring installed with separate neutral and protective ground bonding conductors (a TN-S network), a bootleg ground (or a false ground) is a connection between the neutral side of a receptacle or light fixture and the ground lug or enclosure of the wiring device.

Description

A bootleg ground connects the neutral side of the receptacle to the conductive casing of an appliance or lamp. This can be a hazard because the neutral wire is a current-carrying conductor, which means the exposed casing can become energized.GFCI breaker, nor protect a receptacle that is wired from the load side of a GFCI receptacle.

Before 1996, in the United States it was common to ground the frames of large 120/240-volt permanently-connected appliances (such as a clothes dryer or oven) to neutral conductors. This has been prohibited in new installations since the 1996 National Electrical Code (upon local adoption by legislation or regulation). Existing installations are permitted to continue in accordance with NEC 250.140 Exception.

Correct-polarity bootleg ground

In the less-dangerous instance of a bootleg ground, a short wire jumper is connected between the bonding screw terminal (usually colored green) on a NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R outlet to the neutral (a.k.a. grounded conductor, colored white according to code) or directly to the white neutral wire via a pigtail. This practice is a NEC code violation, but a standard 3-lamp receptacle tester will report the outlet as correctly wired.

Reverse-polarity bootleg ground


Bootleg ground

Reverse-polarity bootleg ground

In the very-dangerous instance of a reverse polarity bootleg ground, the hot and neutral wires have been connected to the opposite terminals, and a jumper or pigtail connection is made between the green bonding screw terminal and what is believed to be the neutral circuit. But because the wiring has been crossed at some point, the hot 120-volt wire is now connected directly to the ground on the receptacle, placing low-impedance live voltage on all grounded parts of all equipment plugged into that outlet. This hazardous connection allows people to come into contact with a deadly voltage with a current path back to the sourcecircuit breaker, a GFCI, nor an AFCI quickly enough to prevent electrocution.

Safer alternatives

If a safe equipment ground path is not provided via the existing cables installed within the building, they ideally should be replaced with new cabling which includes a safety ground conductor.

A safe alternative (where local electrical code allows it), permitted by recent editions of the National Electrical Code [NEC Sec. 406.4(D)(2)(b)] if a grounding connection is not practicable, is to install a GFCI and leave the grounding terminal screw unconnected. This is permitted if a permanent label is installed that says "No Equipment Ground" on the GFCI, and a label that states “GFCI Protected” and “No Equipment Ground” is placed on all downstream receptacles.

Other countries

West Germany banned bootleg grounding in 1973, although it was common practice before and can still be found in older installations.

In Finland, using neutral as a ground conductor was a common practice until 1989.

History

At one time, the land that is now Shrewsbury Borough was part of one large area called Shrewsbury Township. In 1797, Baltzer (Balthaser) Faust began to develop the village by laying out lots on both sides of Joppa Road (later the York-Baltimore Turnpike and now Main Street). The early settlers were mostly German and the town was called Strassburg, which means “the town by the street or road.” By 1830 there was enough of an influx of English people to reinstate “Shrewsbury” as the official name. On August 9, 1834, the Borough of Shrewsbury was incorporated by an Act of the General Assembly. The area delineated was approximately one mile long and one-half mile wide, stretching lengthwise along the turnpike, with the borough center located at the crossroads. the city lined her streets with american sycamores (platanus occidentalis) The Shrewsbury Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Burgin Matthews wrote the album "Elliott also reveals himself as one of the few truly enduring figures of the folk era, partly because his music is more honest, and as a result more timeless, than so much of that era's music... With South Coast, Elliott's legend is irrevocably cemented."

Aside

For other uses, see Aside (disambiguation).

An aside is a dramatic device in which a character speaks to the audience. By convention, the audience is to realize that the character's speech is unheard by the other characters on stage. It may be addressed to the audience expressly (in character or out) or represent an unspoken thought. An aside is usually a brief comment rather than a speech, such as a monologue or soliloquy.

The aside was used by Ian Richardson's character Francis Urquhart in the 1990 BBC mini-series House of Cards, as well as by Kevin Spacey's character Frank Underwood in the 2013 Netflix original series of the same name.

It was also used by Michaela Coel’s character Tracey in the Channel 4 comedy series Chewing Gum; and by the titular character in Fleabag, written and played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Bootleg play

The "Waggle" play from the Delaware Winged T offense, here shown from "Red" formation, is one type of bootleg. The quarterback fakes hand offs to both the halfback and fullback before rolling out with the protection of both guards. The quarterback then has the choice of passing or running the ball.

In American football, a bootleg play is a play in which the quarterback runs with the ball in the direction of either sideline behind the line of scrimmage. This can be accompanied by a play action, or fake hand off of the ball to a running back running the opposite direction.

Overview

The quarterback can be accompanied by an offensive lineman to block for him, or run without a blocker, which is known as a naked bootleg or waggle. More complex versions involve multiple offensive linemen moving with the quarterback to block and multiple false hand offs; one such variation is known as a rollout. After escaping the area behind the offensive line, the quarterback may either throw a pass downfield or run with the ball himself to gain yardage.

A bootleg is called to confuse the defense, by moving the quarterback away from where they expect him to be, directly behind the center. The quarterback's motion may also attract the attention of the defensive backs, allowing one of the receivers to become uncovered. The play is typically used by teams with mobile quarterbacks, such as Steve Young,Randall Cunningham and Russell Wilson.

Additional variations can be combined with bootleg plays. In the West Coast offense variant designed around quarterback Michael Vick, counter techniques combined with play action bootleg plays served to provide several types of simultaneous misdirection which caused defensive players to freeze after often misjudging the intended direction of the play. These techniques, along with Vick's unusual athleticism, slowed down and isolated defenders and provided extra space and time for the quarterback to survey the field and/or run the ball.

The bootleg and its variants have become more common in recent years as the rules have been changed to permit a quarterback to avoid a sack by throwing the ball away once they are outside the "tackle box". Since the quarterback in a bootleg usually sets up to throw well outside the tackles, if he is in danger of taking a sack, he can throw the ball safely out of bounds without risking an intentional grounding penalty.


Bootleg play

The name comes from the fact that on a play action the quarterback often hides the ball from the defense by his thigh to make the run look more convincing. This is similar to the way bootleggers would hide whiskey in their trousers during Prohibition.

Pop Warner is given credit for inventing the bootleg play.

Biography

Charles Thomi Pitot was educated in Paris with brother Édouard under the supervision of Famille Robert de la MennaisIsle de France (Mauritius) in 1798 and helped their uncle Charles to consolidate his business.

When Matthew Flinders was under house arrest in Mauritius from 1803 to 1810 he befriended Charles Thomi Pitot.

Under the governorship of French General Decaen Thomi Pitot was nominated to form part of the island's Conseil Colonial.

When the island came under British rule Governor Farquhar created the Conseil de Commune on 8 September 1817 and he nominated C.T. Pitot as its Secretary. Due to a number of disagreements with the British Governor the Conseil de Commune was suspended twice. The Franco-Mauritian plantation owners delegated Charles Thomi Pitot with the task of escalating their grievances to King George IV of England. However Pitot died before being able to travel to Europe. Due to his collaborative approach he was dubbed the Béranger de l'île Maurice. His successor at the council was Adrien d'Épinay.

Viola betonicifolia

Viola betonicifolia, commonly known as the arrowhead violet, showy violet or mountain violet, is a small perennial of the genus Viola, which contains pansies and violets. It occurs from India and Pakistan in southern Asia throughout eastern Australia and Tasmania. It grows in shaded habitat in forests.

Taxonomy

English botanist Sir James Edward Smith was the first to describe Viola betonicifolia, giving it the common name "betony-leaved violet" in volume 37 of Rees's Cyclopædia in 1817. He noted that it was native to New South Wales.Viola betonicæfolia in Flora Australiensis, George Bentham recognised it as the senior synonym of Viola longiscapa (DC.) G.Don and V. phyteumifolia G.Don.

Description

This species is distinguished by long, slender arrow-shaped leaves grow from the base of the plant, which has no stem as such, and are up to 6 cm (2.5 in) long with a v-shaped sinus at the base, and are usually rather bright, fresh green. Its striking bright purple flowers are 1–1.5 cm (0.4–0.6 in) in diameter and occur in spring and summer.

Distribution and habitat

Viola betonicifolia is found in Tasmania and eastern mainland Australia from South Australia through Victoria and New South Wales, and into Queensland. It also occurs in Asia westwards to India and Pakistan. It grows in shady areas in forest.

Ecology

The caterpillars of the laced or Indian fritillary (Argynnis hyperbius) feed upon this plant,Eurema hecabe). Coastal swamps where Viola betonicifolia grows have been drained in New South Wales, endangering the status of the laced fritillary in that state.

Cultivation

The plant is adaptable to shade

Viola betonicifolia is an easy plant to grow, and adaptable to different soil types as long as it get sufficient moisture and at least half shade or more in a garden situation. It is good for rockeries. It can be quite vigorous in heavier, moisture retentive soils and forms clumps to about 30 cm (12 in) diameter. It is self-seeding.

Bhopal Janata Express

The Bhopal Janata Express was the train service which used to run between Bhopal Junction railway station (formerly Bhopal station) of Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai Central railway station (formerly Bombay Central) of Mumbai, the capital city of Maharashtra. The train is nowKushinagar Express, which is the extended version of Mumbai–Bhopal Janata Express.

History

The Bhopal Janata Express service was announced in 1953 between Bhopal and Mumbai to be operated on a tri-weekly basis with a total of 11 coaches including 5 general, 4 sleeper and 1 luggage van. It used to run from Bhopal on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday while from Mumbai on every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Later, in 1957, the train was made daily. It got a total of 17 coaches including 1 AC first class, 2 AC 3 tier, 8 sleeper, 5 general coach and 1 luggage cum parcel van.

Later, in 1970, the train got two new versions:

 1. Bhopal–Mumbai Janata Express (triweekly)
 2. Bhopal–Lucknow Janata Express (biweekly)

Within a few months, to attract more passengers, the train from Mumbai and Bhopal got bifurcated to its new version, Mumbai–Bhopal–Lucknow Janata Express with additions of more coaches and a pantry car. The other version of the train between Bhopal and Lucknow now runs as a separate train Bhopal–Lucknow Express and the Bhopal–Lucknow Janata Express altered to Kushinagar Express

In 2002, a new service between Bhopal and Mumbai on a weekly basis (Bhopal–Mumbai Express) was started to maintain reservation quota for Bhopal people due to alteration of Bhopal–Mumbai Janata Express.

Final extension

In 1983, the train route was studied again and as per the demands, the Bhopal Janata Express train was finally extended to Gorakhpur by extending it from Lucknow and now the train runs as Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (Mumbai)–Gorakhpur Kushinagar Express.

William McElwee Miller

William McElwee Miller (December 12, 1892 – July 7, 1993) was an American missionary to Persia, and author of several books.

Born in Middlesboro, Kentucky, Miller received a M.A. in 1913 from Washington and Lee University, and a B.D. in 1919 from Princeton Theological Seminary. He went to Persia (Iran) as a missionary of the Presbyterian Church and, except for a short period around 1932, he remained in Persia until 1962.

As a part of his missionary work, he learned Persian and studied Islam, particularly Shi'a Islam, Persia and Persian culture. During his missionary work in Persia, he also encountered followers of the Baháʼí Faith, a large religious minority there. Much of his ministerial work involved developing Christian apologetic responses to these religions.

With respect to the Baháʼí Faith, his Baha'ism, Its Origin, History and Teachings,Earl E. Elder he translated Bahá'u'lláh's Kitáb-i-Aqdas, one of the central books of the religion; this translation was published by the Royal Asiatic Society in 1961. In 1974, a new follow-up, The Baha'i Faith: Its History and Teachings

After 1962, he retired with his wife to Mount Airy, Pennsylvania, where he lived until she died, and then went to live in a retirement home until his own death in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1993.
