The White Spirit

For other uses, see White spirit.

"The White Spirit" is the seventh episode of the second season of the American television drama series Hell on Wheels, which aired on September 23, 2012 on AMC. The seventeenth episode of the series is written by Bruce Marshall Romans and directed by David Von Ancken. In the episode, the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) returns to town to help Lily (Dominique McElligott) with the railroad's accounting ledgers, against Cullen's (Anson Mount) wishes. Mickey McGinnes (Phil Burke) and his brother Sean (Ben Esler) seek to expand their franchise.

Plot

Beside a river, the Swede shaves his head, paints his body white and then joins the Sioux as the "White Spirit" in a chant. In town, Toole (Duncan Ollerenshaw) is concerned that Durant's (Colm Meaney) possible death would affect their job security but Cullen orders them back to work. He joins Ruth (Kasha Kropinski) in mourning over Reverend Cole's (Tom Noonan) coffin in the church. He confesses to putting the knife in Joseph's (Eddie Spears) hands, but she says her father chose his own death and admits to thinking some souls are beyond redemption.

Mickey chides Sean for giving away a plot of land to the church, saying Sean's mind is clouded by his interest in Ruth. Sean insists it is charity, but Mickey is upset he was not even consulted. Elam (Common) approaches and asks about the brothers’ bid for the Starlight Saloon, but they tell him the owner, Carl (James Dugan), is not keen on selling. Elam says that he has a plan to remedy that, if they will give him a percentage of the profits and free riverfront property. Mickey agrees before Sean can object.


The White Spirit

At the bridge construction site, Cullen orders Psalms (Dohn Norwood) to stop telling stories and work. Toole defends Psalms but is rebuked by Cullen. At the railway office, Cullen warns Lily against employing the Swede, but she reasons that he was Durant's bookkeeper for years and is essential in deciphering Durant's accounting ledgers. When the Swede comments on Cullen's new rifle, Cullen insinuates that the Sioux got it from the Swede. He turns to leave, but then hits the Swede on the head with the butt of the rifle.

In the jail car, Cullen hopes to obtain a confession from the Swede. He knows it was he who armed the Sioux, to which the Swede calls it "wonderful" and adds: "Bloodthirsty heathens with modern weapons, led by a drunken white man of God." He claims he and Cullen are bonded by their love of killing. Ruth sees the church being dismantled. Alarmed, she reminds Sean that he granted a rent extension. He surprises her with the deed to a new plot in the center of town, free of charge. Lily tells Cullen they must release the Swede if he has not confessed. Cullen tosses her the key. She must do it.

That night, Elam and Psalms hijack a train car of whiskey and break open the barrels. The Swede joins Cullen at the saloon and explains that he hates Cullen because he associates him with the horrors of Andersonville Prison. The Swede says the reason Cullen hates him in return is because the Swede is a constant reminder of the capacity for evil that resides within him. Cullen tells the Swede it is not a problem anymore because he is leaving town. Lily finds Cullen saddling his horse and accuses him of running away whenever things get difficult. "You can disagree with my decisions if you like," she says, "but judging my choices won't change yours. I'm done trying."


The White Spirit

The next morning, after Carl finds his liquor shipment destroyed, Lily accuses Elam and Psalms of destroying it, based on the train engineer's (Chris Ippolito) description of two black men. Elam challenges her to identify which two black men the engineer saw, noting, that he is good enough for her dirty work, but not good enough to trust with security. She offers to renegotiate his position when Durant returns. He scoffs that he is finished negotiating and quits.

Cullen approaches Lily, who asks why he is still in town. He concedes she was right about him being ready to run away. She whispers that she is glad he stayed. Later at the railway office, The Swede informs her that, according to the books, Durant has been fraudulently inflating mileage numbers. Cullen finds Elam clearing grass for a riverfront home and says he will need Elam's help if the Sioux attack. Elam says that there is no place for him on the railroad. Cullen warns him that the Sioux will attack everyone, railroad workers or not.

At the saloon, the McGinnes brothers threaten Carl with continued destruction of his whiskey shipments as well as bodily harm if he does not sell the bar to them. He counter-threatens to send Hahn and the Germans after them. "Tell him to bring his friend the butcher, if he can find him," Mickey answers. Later that evening, Lily enters Cullen's caboose. They kiss, then make love. Carl signs the saloon over to Mickey and Sean. Later, Sean watches Ruth beaming as she preaches in front of her new church. By the river, Elam gazes at Eva’s wedding photo, covering Toole's face. The next morning, Cullen dresses quietly as Lily sleeps. As he walks out the door, Lily calls his name and he smiles.

Critical reception

The episode received high praise. The A.V. Club's Alasdair Wilkins gave the episode an A− grade, calling it "best episode the show has ever done", adding "it actually addresses many of the show's most basic flaws. It's too early to say the show has hit a turning point, but the fact that I'm seriously considering the possibility means plenty in and of itself."

Uladzimir Karvat

Uladzimir Mikalayevich Karvat (Belarusian: Уладзімір Мікалаевіч Карват, Russian: Владимир Николаевич Карват, November 28, 1959, Brest, Belarus – May 23, 1996) was a pilot for the Belarusian Air Force and the first recipient of the title Hero of Belarus.

Early life and career

Karvat was born in the city of Brest, on May 28, 1959, in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. He joined the Soviet Air Force in 1981 and completed courses at the higher piloting school in Armavir. Afterwards, he was deployed to the Far East of the Russian SFSR. There, Karvat advanced from being a normal pilot, to the commander of a flight training squadron.

He had been awarded the Order for Service to the Homeland in the Armed Forces of the USSR 3rd class and the Jubilee Medal "70 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR".

In August 1994, three years after the Soviet Union collapsed, he decided to serve in the newly created Armed Forces of Belarus. On September 11, 1994, Karvat took an oath of loyalty to the people of Belarus. He was given the command of a tactical training unit of the 61st airbase in Baranovichi.

Accident

Karvat was honored posthumously for his heroic actions, which took place on November 21, 1996, when his training aircraft (a Sukhoi Su-27p) caught fire. Though he was given the order to eject, the plane was heading directly for a populated area. Keeping that in mind, Karvat steered the plane until it crashed 1 km away from the area of Hacišča, killing him. President Alexander Lukashenko issued Decree Number 484 that day, awarding Karvat with the title Hero of Belarus. The decree stated: "For heroism while in the performance of military duty, we award Lieutenant Colonel Karvat, Uładzimir Mikałajevič the title "Hero of Belarus" (posthumous).

Jan Antonín Losy

Jan Antonín Losy, Count of Losinthal (German: Johann Anton Losy von Losinthal); also known as Comte d'Logy (Losi or Lozi), (c. 1650Bohemian aristocrat, Baroque lute player and composer from Prague. His lute works combine the French style brisé with a more Italian cantabile style. He was probably the most significant lutenist-composer in Bohemia at the height of the lute's popularity there.

Life

Count Losy's family were of Swiss origin (Poschiavo in the canton of Graubünden). His father, Johann Anton Losy senior (c. 1600–1682), was perhaps born in Purz in the Swiss canton of Grisons. By 1627 he had moved to Bohemia and purchased a house in Prague. Losy senior had a number of business interests and was appointed a Councillor of the Exchequer and Deputy of the Salt, Beer and Wine Council by the Bohemian Court Chamber. As a result of helping to defend Prague against the assault of Swedish troops in 1648, Losy senior was ennobled, becoming a baronet in 1648 and Count von Losinthal in 1655. He also acquired the estate and castle at Steken (Strakonitz District, southern Bohemia) in 1638.

Johann Anton Losy was born at Steken around 1650. He had a younger twin brother (Johann Baptist) and also had four sisters. Losy's interest in music was fostered by his lute teacher and valet Achazius Kazimir Huelse who seems to have remained a lifelong friend.

Losy attended the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, gaining his baccalaureate in 1667 and graduating as a Doctor of Philosophy on 15 August 1668. He then seems to have travelled to a number of European countries including Italy. His intimate knowledge of French lute style indicates he may have been in Paris and met lutenists such as Mouton and Dufault.

Following the death of his father on 22 July 1682 he inherited his title, becoming the second Count Losy. He also inherited part of the family estates and an Imperial appointment as a Councillor of the Kingdom of Bohemia. His official position meant that, while living in Prague, he frequently had to travel to the Imperial court in Vienna. In the following year, his twin brother died.


Jan Antonín Losy

As an aristocrat, Count Losy's musical activities would have been expected to remain on an amateur basis. Nevertheless, he seems to have gained the admiration of a number of professional musicians for his lute-playing and compositions. In 1697 he took part in a musical contest with Leipzig cantor Johann Kuhnau. While working in Prague in 1715, Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel met Count Losy who "played the lute as well as one who makes a profession of it" and also played the violin.baroque guitar, keyboard, angélique, mandora, and violin).

In spite of Losy's outstanding reputation as a player and improviser on the lute, only one of his works was published in his own lifetime. This was the Courante Extra-ordinaire, which was part of the collection Cabinet der Lauten, published in 1695 by Philippe Franz Lasage de Richée.

After Losy's death in Prague in 1721, the great German lutenist Sylvius Leopold Weiss paid tribute to his colleague by dedicating to his memory the work Tombeau sur la mort de Monseigneur Comte de Logi.

He was married to Franziska Claudia Gräfin von Strassoldo. After his death in 1721, his son Adam Philipp Losy von Losinthal, an Austrian statesman, General Building Director, Knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece and also a gifted musician, inherited all his estates.

Works

Losy composed mostly dance suites, as was typical of his time, but sometimes attempted larger works such as those in the three-part overture style popularized by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Inspired by French and Italian composers, Losy mastered French lute style and his extant works demonstrate his intelligence, noblesse, bright spirit and love for the lute.


Jan Antonín Losy

His extensive and highly creative works are scattered through various archives in the Czech Republic, France, Germany and Austria. One of his manuscripts, a collection of pieces written for the 5-string Baroque guitar, is housed in the National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague. However, the identification and verification of Losy's works is anything but straightforward. Prague lute player Emil Vogl created a list that has been extended by further discoveries and concordances by Tim Crawford. There are no critical complete editions of Losy's works in CNRS style, so it is possible that additional works will be discovered and cataloged.

Priest Neal's Mass House and Mill Site

Priest Neal's Mass House and Mill Site, also known as Paradice, is a historic Roman Catholic Church located at Bel Air, Harford County, Maryland. It is a stuccoed, 1+1⁄2-story stone dwelling constructed about 1743 by Jesuits for use as a mission before Roman Catholics obtained freedom of worship under the United States Constitution. The interior floor plan is unique in its combined function as Jesuit priests' residence and house of worship: an unusually wide center hall provided meeting space and was flanked by two chambers on the west and a large reception room on the east. On the banks of Deer Creek, is the site of an 18th-century mill which the priests used to generate money to support their endeavors. It is one of the oldest extant buildings associated with the Catholic Church in America.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Iyo-Yoshida Domain (宇和島藩, Iyo-Yoshida-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, controlling all of Tosa Province in what is now western Ehime Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. It was centered around Yoshida jin'ya, located in what is now part of the city of Uwajima, Ehime, and was ruled throughout its history by a cadet branch of the tozama daimyō Date clan. Iyo-Yoshida Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part of Ehime Prefecture.

History

In 1614, Date Hidemune was awarded the 100,000 koku Uwajima Domain by Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, and moved into Uwajima Castle the following year. In 1658, Hidemune died, making his third son Munetoshi his successor; however, Hidemune's will split the domain. Munetoshi received only 70,000 koku, and his younger brother Date Munezumi was given 30,000 koku and allowed to establish a cadet branch of the clan and subsidiary domain called Iyo-Yoshida Domain. The will was received with consternation by Uwajima Domain, which evidently had no prior knowledge of it, and led to decades of conflict between the two houses.


Iyo-Yoshida Domain

It is unknown why Hidemune took this action, and the most common theory is that Munezumi was Hidemune's favorite and was bequeathed the portion of the estate that Hidemune had intended to set aside for his own retirement revenues. However, another theory is that Munezumi envied his older brother, and therefore plotted with his uncle Date Munekatsu (the tenth son of Date Masamune) of Ichinoseki Domain to falsify the will. Munetoshi wrote a letter to Date Tadamune asserting that the will had to have been a forgery, as Hidemune's condition at the time it was dated was so bad that be could not even hold a brush to write with. The issue was settled through the mediation of Ii Naotaka of Hikone Domain.

In any event, Munezumi maintained close relations with Sendai Domain and his northern relations, and after the Date Sōdō, he offered refuge to Munekatsu's daughter-in-law and her children. During his tenure, Munezumi fell ill and was attended to by a wandering physician from Tosa Domain named Yamada Chūzaemon. He was well-versed in literary and military arts and was awarded a fief of 100 koku and persuaded to stay in Yoshida as Munezumi's advisor. Yamada persuaded Munezumi that he should reduce the domain's expenditures by demoting senior retainers who had held their posts for multi-generations and who were receiving high levels of compensation. This understandably made many retainers upset, leading to an armed uprising known as the "Yamada Disturbance"and an appeal directly to Sendai Domain. Ultimately, Yamada was expelled to Sendai, and Uwajima was asked to mediate a resolution to the conflict. This event enforced the position of Iyo-Yamada as a subsidiary domain to Uwajima.


Iyo-Yoshida Domain

In 1701, the 3rd daimyō, Date Munetoyo was one of two daimyō appointed to entertain imperial envoys to the Shogun's court in Edo. The other daimyō was Asano Naganori of Ako Domain. He was thus an eyewitness to the incident which led to the famed Akō vendetta. The domain suffered greatly from the Kyōhō famine of 1732-1733, and the domain imposed heavy taxes an monopolized on cash products, such as the production of paper. This led to a massive uprising. In November 1794, a han school was established.

The 7th daimyō of Iyo-Yoshida, was the son of the daimyō of Uwajima, Date Muranaga, and the 8th daimyō of Iyo-Yoshida, was the younger brother of the daimyō of Uwajima, Date Munenari. During the Bakumatsu period, Iyo-Yoshida was a supporter of the shogunate, but was restrained from any active participation in the Boshin War by Uwajima Domain, and thus escaped punishment by the new Meiji government. After the abolition of the han system in July 1871, Iyo-Yoshida Domain became "Yoshida Prefecture" which was merged with "Uwajima Prefecture" "Ozu Prefecture" and "Niiya Prefecture" to form the new "Uwajima Prefecture, which later became part of Ehime Prefecture.

As with most domains in the han system, Iyo-Yoshida Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.kokudaka of Tosa Province was only 98,000 koku per the Taiko land survey. The Yamauchi clan had an official kokudaka of 202,600 koku, but when the rival Tokushima Domain gained Awaji Province in 1615 and raised its kokudaka from 170,000 to 257,000 koku, Tosa Domain also demanded that its kokudaka be reassess as 257,000 koku, so that it would not lose prestige and be considered inferior to Tokushima. The shogunate refused the demand and Tosa Domain remained at 202,600 koku. However, this was an official, nominal, value, and the actual kokudaka of the domain is estimated to have been at least 494,000 koku.

Mansbridge

For other uses, see Mansbridge (disambiguation).

Mansbridge is a suburb on the northern perimeter of Southampton, England. The area is named after the Mans Bridge which spans the River Itchen. For a considerable time, this was the southernmost crossing point of the river, before the construction of Woodmill in Swaythling. The bridge itself still stands and is a Grade II listed structureA27.

The suburb contains a mixture of housing. The first developments, on the north side of the A27, were designed by architect Herbert Collins, whose houses are a feature of several other Southampton districts. A larger estate was later constructed on the south side, along with Mansbridge Primary School, the logo of which is the bridge itself. The residential area of Mansbridge is bordered to the west by the London to Weymouth railway line and to the east by the river. Beyond the river, Mansbridge takes on a much more rural air, with woodland to the south and water meadows to the north.

The neighbouring areas are Swaythling to the west, Townhill Park to the south, and Chartwell Green to the east. A strip of green belt land separates Mansbridge from Eastleigh to the north.

History

The bridges

There has been a bridge at Mansbridge since at least the year 932, when it was referred to as Mannysbrigge in King Athelstan's charter to the prior of St. Swithun's Priory in Winchester.Domesday Book of 1086, the location was recorded as Manebrige or Manesbrige Hundred, within the county of Hantscire.Woodmill in Swaythling) by Leland in 1535–43, and this may be a reference to Mansbridge as there are no known crossing points of the river between Mansbridge and Woodmill.Mansbridg.Mansbridge Hundred but Morden's map of 1695 labels the bridge "Mansbridg", and shows it within the Fawley or Waltham (possibly Bishop's Waltham) Hundred.


Mansbridge

The bridges that stand at Mansbridge today are much more recent than those mentioned above; the older of the two was built in 1816 by the county council; this bridge was made of stone with a single segmental arch and decorated with a lambswool pattern.listed building, having first been listed on 14 July 1953.National Cycle Route 23.

The current bridge carrying the A27 road was constructed in 1975, and replaced a bailey bridge erected during the Second World War.

The Grange

The suburb of Mansbridge had at its heart, for a century, a large house called "The Grange." The Grange had an extensive ornamental garden, containing a diverse collection of trees. After World War II the house fell into disrepair, and was eventually demolished around 1970. The grounds are now a part of the Monks Brook Greenway, a nature trail, and many of the original trees can still be seen along the brook's bank.

Southampton water supply

Under the powers of the Southampton Waterworks Amendment Act 1850 a pumping station was set up at Mansbridge to take water from the River Itchen and transfer it to a pair of reservoirs on Southampton Common.

Scarto

Scarto is a three player trick-taking tarot card game from Piedmont, Italy.Skat card game.

Deck

The 78-card Italian suited Tarocco Piemontese is used to play this game but the French suited Tarot Nouveau deck can be a substitute. The deck should contain 56 cards divided into four suits each with ten ranks of pip cards and four ranks of face cards plus a suit of 21 trumps and one suitless card, the Fool.

The order of the long (swords and batons) or black (spades and clubs) suits goes from King, Queen, Cavalier, Jack, 10 ... 1 while the round (cups and coins) or red suits (hearts and diamonds) goes from King, Queen, Cavalier, Jack, 1 ... 10. Trump 20 also outranks 21 as in most Piedmontese tarocchi games.

Card Points:

  * Kings and Trumps 1 and 20: 5 points
  * Queens and the Fool: 4 points
  * Cavaliers (Knights): 3 points
  * Knaves (Jacks): 2 points
  * All others: 1 point

Rules

The dealer hands everyone 25 cards with three remaining cards as the stock. The dealer can exchange cards with the stock. The discarded cards (scarto) will join his trick pile. The dealer cannot discard any card worth 5 points or the Fool. Trump 1 can be discarded if the dealer has no other trump (including the Fool).

Play is counter-clockwise; the player to the right of the dealer leads the first trick. Players must follow suit otherwise they must play a trump if possible. The winner of each trick leads to the next until all cards are played.

The Fool can be played at any time. It is not part of any suit but excuses the player from following suit; it cannot win any tricks or be captured. If the Fool leads the trick, the next player's card sets the trick's suit. When using the Fool, the player simply shows the card and puts it in his own trick pile. Unlike in more advanced tarot games, the player does not need to exchange the Fool with a worthless card.


Scarto

After the hand has been played, the player's trick pile cards are counted in threes. Add up the points in each trick won then subtract 2 points from it.traditionally with a drink.

The White Ship (story)

For the twelfth century vessel, see White Ship.

"The White Ship" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was first published in The United Amateur (Volume 19) #2, November 1919, and later appeared in the March 1927 issue of Weird Tales.

Plot

Basil Elton, a lighthouse keeper, engages in a peculiar fantasy in which a bearded man in robes is piloting a mystical white ship which appears when the moon is full. Elton walks across the water on a bridge of moonbeams, joins the bearded man on the ship, and together they explore a mystical chain of islands unlike anything that can be found on Earth.

They travel past Zar, a green land where "dwell all the dreams and thoughts of beauty that come to men once and then are forgotten", then the majestic city of Thalarion, "City of a Thousand Wonders", where frightful demons dwell. They pass Akariel, the huge carven gate of Thalarion, and continue their voyage. Elton is informed that those who enter both places have never returned. During the voyage, they seem to be following an azure celestial bird. They also pass Xura, the "Land of Pleasures Unattained", which seems pleasant from a distance but reeks of plague upon getting nearer. They finally settle in Sona-Nyl, the "Land of Fancy", where Elton spends a period of time which he describes as "many aeons", living in what seems to be a perfect society. During his time in Sona-Nyl, he learns of Cathuria, the "Land of Hope". Though no man truly knows where Cathuria is or what lies there, Elton is thrilled with the idea, fantasizing about it wildly, and urges the bearded man to take him there, which the man reluctantly agrees to do. They follow the celestial bird westward. After a perilous journey to where the crew believes Cathuria to be, the ship instead finds itself at the edge of the world, and plummets to its doom.


The White Ship (story)

Elton awakens to find himself on the wet rocks next to his lighthouse, mere moments after he first departed on the white ship – and just in time to witness a catastrophic shipwreck caused by the light having gone out for the first time. He is further shaken by his later finding a dead azure bird and a spar of pure white. He never sees the white ship again.

Connections

The surface plot is modeled on Lord Dunsany's 1910 story "Idle Days on the Yann".

Unlike many of Lovecraft's other tales, "The White Ship" does not directly tie into the popularized Cthulhu Mythos. However, the story cannot be entirely excluded from mythos continuity either, since it makes reference to preternatural, godlike beings. The tone and temperament of "The White Ship" speaks largely of the Dream Cycle literary structure that Lovecraft utilized in other stories such as The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (1926) and "The Cats of Ulthar" (1920).

Reception

Henry S. Whitehead, in a letter to The Eyrie, (the letters page for Weird Tales) in May 1927, lauded The White Ship.

R v B (KG)

R v B (KG), [1993] 1 SCR 740, popularly known as the KGB case, is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the admissibility of prior inconsistent statements as proof of the truth of their contents. Prior to this case, prior inconsistent statements made by a witness other than an accused could merely be used to impeach the witness's credibility, not for substantive purposes. Here, the Court held that if the statements could be found to be both necessary and reliable then the statements could be admitted as an exception to the hearsay rule.

Background

Four youths were involved in a fight with two men. One youth pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the men, killing him. During the investigation each youth was interviewed on camera in the presence of family or their lawyer. In three of the statements, reference was made to death likely being caused by K.G.B., one of the four youths.

At trial, however, the youths recanted their videotaped statements and claimed they had lied to exculpate themselves. The trial judge followed the orthodox rule for prior inconsistent statements, and only permitted the jury to use the statements to impeach credibility rather than prove a fact. K.G.B. was acquitted and the decision was upheld on appeal.

The issue before the Supreme Court of Canada was whether the recorded statements could be submitted as evidence to the truth of their contents under the principled exception to hearsay.

Reasons of the court

Lamer CJ, writing for the majority, held that the statements were admissible. He allowed the appeal and ordered a new trial.

The principled exception to hearsay, as outlined in R v Khan and R v Smith, requires that the statement be reliable and necessary. Lamer CJ adopted these two criteria in formulating the test for admitting prior inconsistent statements. First, "if the statement is made under oath, solemn affirmation or solemn declaration following an explicit warning to the witness as to the existence of severe criminal sanctions for the making of a false statement". Second, "if the statement is videotaped in its entirety". Third, "if the opposing party, whether the Crown or the defence, has a full opportunity to cross‑examine the witness at trial respecting the statement".


R v B (KG)

Lamer CJ also made clear that substitute reliability guarantors could be accepted in place of these strict guidelines, in certain cases.

Social network automation

Social Network Automation refers to tools that are used to semi/automate the process of posting content to social networking and social bookmarking websites. Tools can range from mostly manual and free to semi-automated tools which are either commercial standalone software or paid subscriptions.

Background

Social networking sites (ex: Digg, Reddit, Propeller, etc.) run on a virtuous cycle of content (stories, pictures, videos) attracting users who interact with the content (voting, commenting) and who are then inspired to provide new content (original or culled from outside sources), thereby attracting more readers, etc., etc. (see Web 2.0)

While much of the content is submitted by so-called-casual users a significant portion of stories are created specifically for social networking sites. These stores are generally submitted to several sites to maximize the return on investment. (Note that the motivation need not be commercial but may be personal or political (see Ron Paul for President)

To aid people submitting stories to multiple social networking and bookmarking sites, a number of tools have been created.

Mostly-Manual Solutions

These solutions are characterized by the following common attributes:

  * Standalone, web based
  * Free
  * Direct URL submission
  * Significant breadth of sites (20 to 70) supported
  * Attractive UI
  * Lack of workflow
  * Low levels of error reporting

Semi-Automated Solutions

These solutions are all commercial software and do not seem to have been reviewed by an independent third party. They seem to all be standalone Windows-only based systems. They all claim to have the following features:

  * username/password login
  * low number of sites supported (20-30)
  * semi/automated site navigation
  * historical activity reporting

Miscellaneous Solutions: Buttons

Some vendors offer "buttons" that you can place under your blog posts that will automatically start the submission process for your content or which will more easily allow your readers to find and "vote" for your content on that service. As these seem to be less about automation and more about convenience they have been separated from the automation tools. However, there is some overlap, with some automation providers offering buttons.


Social network automation

Many of the social networking sites also offer buttons, the most commonly seen being, of course, Digg's Digg This badge. and OnlyWire's

Miscellaneous Solutions: Toolbars

Many social networking sites also offer toolbars (mostly for Mozilla/Firefox and Internet Explorer) which aid in use of the social sites. These toolbars also offer easier submission of articles to and voting on stories. However they seem to be more about convenience than automation, so they are separated as well. One of the best known toolbars is from StumbleUpon.

Miscellaneous Solutions: Fully Outsourced

There are a large number of firms offering fully outsourced solutions for posting content to social networking and bookmarking sites. These are traditional consulting engagements and should be evaluated as such.


Scarve

Scarve is a French technical death metalNancy. They have released four full-length albums, the latest being The Undercurrent, released in 2007.

History

Scarve was formed in 1994 by rhythm guitarist Patrick Martin and drummer Dirk Verbeuren, the latter of whom later joined Soilwork, and is now with renowned thrash metal band Megadeth. Their 2004 album, Irradiant features a contribution from Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik Thordendal on the track "Asphyxiate".

Vocalist departures and The Undercurrent

In October 2006, it was announced that Guillaume Bideau had left Scarve during the recording of The Undercurrent in order to take over as lead singer in the Danish industrial metal band Mnemic. His session replacement was announced to be ex-Darkane singer, Lawrence Mackrory (who provided vocals on the album Rusted Angel).

Following the release of The Undercurrent, on 4 June, Pierrick Valence announced that he was leaving Scarve to focus on his other band, Phazm. On 22 April 2007, The band posted a message on their Myspace page saying that they were still looking for a vocalist.

In May 2009, the band revealed their new vocalist, Lawrence Mackrory, who sung on The Undercurrent and their next album. Dirk said on their Myspace blog "We're all very proud and happy to have Lawrence in our ranks, and extremely excited to bring you, our fans, a whole new collection of blasting futuristic death metal!"

Scarve has been on an unofficial hiatus since 2009, and have not performed live since 2007. Dirk Verbeuren currently performs with Megadeth and Sylvain Coudret is with Soilwork, while Loïc Colin recently joined American death metal band Solium Fatalis, which also features current members of Cryptopsy.

R v B

R. v B. [1997] 2 Cr. App. R. 88, CA was a case in which the undisclosed party (B) was charged with an indecent assault on two of his grandsons.

The evidence introduced in this case was pornographic magazines that belonged to the accused B. The House of Lords held this evidence to be inadmissible in suggesting that B had committed the assault. The magazines along with other evidence were not enough to convict B as they did not meet the proper criteria for the admissibility of what is known as similar fact evidence.

As a result, in this case it is shown that evidence which only highlights the accused in question to be of a "bad disposition" will be deemed inadmissible. This is because, for evidence to be admissible, it must do more than just merely suggest that the person has the propensity to commit the charged crime.


The White South

The White South is a 1949 thriller novel by the British writer Hammond Innes. It is set on a factory ship operation in the Antarctic Ocean.

In 1954 it was adapted into the film Hell Below Zero directed by Mark Robson and starring Alan Ladd and Stanley Baker.

In his obituary of Innes, Jack Adrian described The White South as "the book that was instrumental in lifting him out of the general ruck of thriller writers, establishing him as a writer that serious critics (such as Elizabeth Bowen and J.W. Lambert) took seriously".

Musée de Die

The Musée de Die et du Diois is an archaeological museum dedicated to the story of Die, France, the ancient Roman city Augusta Dea Vocontiorum.

History

The museum was created in 1905 by the mayor of the time, Joseph Reynaud, to receive archaeological collections from Albert Gayet's excavations on the Coptic necropolis of Antinoöpolis, in Egypt. These collections had been exhibited in Paris, at the Petit Palais in Paris, and were distributed in regional museums, as well as in Die.

Soon, Roman and medieval remains of the ancient city of Die (Colonia Dea Augusta Vocontiorum) came to complete the collections of the nascent museum. A monetary treasure dating from the Wars of Religion soon made its entry (discovered in 1883, he was presented at the communal school). In 1924, Joseph Reynaud decided to bequeath his mansion to the city, located in the center, to install the collection. This was done in 1941, and the new museum was inaugurated in 1949, taking advantage of the sixth centenary of the annexation of the Dauphiné to the French crown (1349). A curator was named: Maurice Arnaud.

In 1967, the city made a major acquisition for its museum: an archeological collection patiently collected locally between 1820 and 1930 by Dr. Jean-Denis Long and his successors came to double the volume of objects presented to the museum, which grew under the management of its curator, Henri Desaye, known for his epigraphic skills. He traveled the region to study (and if possible, to collect for the museum) the archaeological remains of the past of the city of Die, Luc-en-Diois (the other Roman capital of Vocontii) ) and of this entire Alpine territory of the Drôme.

In 1992, a fortuitous discovery further increased the museum's presentations: a Neolithic menhir, exceptional because of its size (4 meters long) and because of the engravings it carries, putting it directly in touch with the great menhirs of Brittany or Île-de-France. With this menhir, prehistory made in 1996 a remarkable entrance to the museum.


Musée de Die

The museum is planned to be moved to the old episcopal palace of the city (where the mosaic of the four rivers can be seen), which would considerably enlarge its area and add many objects to the current collections.

R v Baillie

Captain Thomas Baillie, the subject of R v Baillie

R v Baillie, also known as the Greenwich Hospital Case, was a 1778 prosecution of Thomas Baillie for criminal libel. The case initiated the legal career of Thomas Erskine. Baillie, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Greenwich Hospital for Seamen, a facility for injured or pensioned off seamen, had noted irregularities and corruption in the hospital, which was formally run by the Earl of Sandwich. After his official reporting of the problems failed to bring about reform in the hospital, Baillie published a pamphlet that was critical of the hospital's officers, alleging that Sandwich had given appointments to pay off political debts; Sandwich ignored the pamphlet but ensured that Baillie was indicted for criminal libel. Baillie hired five barristers, including Erskine, then newly called to the Bar, and appeared before Lord Mansfield in the Court of King's Bench on 23 November 1778.

After four of the barristers had spoken, Mansfield announced that the court session would resume the next morning rather than continue into the night, which gave Erskine the time he needed to present a full speech rather than a brief comment. In it he accused Sandwich of cowardice and of orchestrating the attack on Baillie, arguing that Baillie was merely doing his duty by attempting to bring the problems with the hospital into the public eye, and was therefore not acting in bad faith. If the issues with the hospital were not acknowledged, Erskine claimed, the Royal Navy would be "crippled by abuses",Emory Speer writes that "It is probably true that never did a single speech so completely ensure professional success".

Background


R v Baillie

Background

From 1705 to 1865, the Greenwich Hospital for Seamen provided medical care to injured seamen and lodgings for those injured sailors who had been pensioned off or were unable to work on ships. Directed by an admiral, "it was more like a ship in port than a clinical facility ... its residents all wore navy uniforms; food was identical to that served on vessels (a weekly four pounds of meat and gallon of beer); the seamen received a full ration of tobacco each week; and time was told by the number of bells". The facility was established by Royal Charter and led by a group of commissioners.Captain Thomas Baillie was a respected sailor who, after retirement, had been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the hospital. Here he found corruption, in breach of the hospital's Royal Charter, and endeavoured to bring it to the attention of the directors hospital, the hospital's governors, and eventually the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.

After failing to receive any satisfactory response from those in power over the hospital, Baillie published a pamphlet in 1778 detailing the problems and corruption, which had gone so far as to include denying food to the sailors. The publication of the pamphlet reflected badly on the Earl of Sandwich, who was at the time First Lord of the Admiralty. In his efforts to gain votes and pay off political debts Sandwich had given many of the positions in the hospital to his cronies, who had never served as sailors. Although he publicly ignored Baillie's allegations, Sandwich ensured through back channels that he was suspended from his job, and had associates go to the Court of King's Bench and secure a writ allowing them to sue him for criminal libel.

By chance, Baillie happened to have dinner with a friend of Thomas Erskine, a newly qualified barrister and former seaman with the Royal Navy. Erskine himself also attended the dinner, although Baillie and Erskine were then unacquainted. When Erskine, unaware of Baillie's presence, "launched into an eloquent tirade against the corrupt and tyrannical practises of Sandwich",R v Baillie and a retainer of one guinea. Initially thinking he was the only barrister Baillie had retained, he was disappointed to find out that he was but one of five, the other four being Edward Bearcroft, Harry Peckham, Murphy and Hargrave, and that he was scheduled to speak last.

Trial


R v Baillie

Trial

[Thomas Erskin]

Thomas Erskine, whose impassioned speech won the acquittal of Baille.

The case of R v Baillie, a prosecution for criminal libel, opened on 23 November 1778 at 1 pm before Lord Mansfield, the Lord Chief Justice, in the Court of King's Bench. Prior to this, Baillie and his counsel had been debating how to respond to the case; Bearcroft, Peckham, Murphy and Hargrave advocated negotiating a settlement before it went to trial, while Erskine urged them to argue Baillie's case before the court and eventually succeeded in convincing Baillie that this was the right thing to do.Sir John Scott, the Solicitor General for England and Wales, who was prosecuting Baillie, followed by "long, dreary" speeches by Bearcroft, Peckham, Murphy and Hargrave, defending him.

Returning the next morning, the counsel found a packed court; owing to the involvement of Lord Sandwich and other significant political figures, the case had received a substantial amount of publicity, and thus an audience. ... not troublesomely inquisitive into other men's departments, but conscientiously correcting his own at the risk of his office". After Mansfield cautioned him for growing heated on the subject of Sandwich, who was not before the court, Erskine replied by stating that Sandwich had "placed [the plaintiffs] in the front of the battle, in hopes to escape under their shelter ... I will drag him to light, who is the dark mover behind this scene of iniquity".

Erskine then argued that if Sandwich was not responsible for the actions of the hospital's officers, he should respond by denying responsibility for them and restoring Baillie to his office; if he did not, he would be "a shameless oppressor, a disgrace to his rank, and a traitor to his trust". Were the situation in the hospital allowed to continue, the Royal Navy would be "crippled by abuses", with seamen no longer willing to risk their lives for a fleet that would fail to reward them with good treatment in retirement. Baillie, who had merely tried to prevent this from happening, deserved "a palace, instead of a prison"; Erskine then left Baillie in the hands of the judges, and the case was dismissed with costs.

Aftermath

Aftermath

The reaction to the trial and to Erskine's speech was tremendous; upon leaving the court he was given a standing ovation by the attorneys present, many of whom offered him briefs on the spot. Joseph Jekyll reported that the court was "in a trance of amazement",Lord Chancellor in the Ministry of All the Talents and was renowned as an excellent, albeit unorthodox, advocate.Garrow's Law, with William Garrow depicted as representing Baillie (rather than Erskine) and his main antagonist, Arthur Hill, replacing Lord Sandwich.
