The White Ridge Quartzite is a geologic formation in central New Mexico. It has a maximum age of 1650 million years (Ma), corresponding to the Statherian period. History of investigation The unit was first defined by Stark and Dapples in 1946, during their mapping of the Los Pinos Mountains, and named for White Ridge, a prominent ridge in the northeastern part of the mountains. Geology The unit is a thick sequence of massive quartzite beds, white to reddish or tan in color, thick. There are also scattered beds of sericite schist that become more numerous in the uppermost part of the formation, where the quartzite beds thin to in thickness and the beds are reddened by hematite. The quartzite often contains significant sericite, biotite, and hematite. The total thickness of the formation is up to . The beds dip steeply to the west, at a dip angle of 32 to 70 degrees. The formation overlies the Abajo Formation and in turn is overlain by the Estadio Schist. Detrital zircon grains in the formation are almost identical in age and isotope composition to the underlying Sevilleta metarhyolite, suggesting that the sediments of the quartzite were weathered almost exclusively from local sources. The minimum zircon age is about 1650 Ma, and radiometric dating of underlying and overlying formations place the age of the White Ridge Quarzite between 1650 and 1588 Ma.

Indigo Swing was an American retro swing band of the mid-late 1990s, based out of San Francisco, California. They released two albums for the independent Time Bomb Recordings label, All Aboard! (1998) and Red Light! (1999). Founded in 1992, the initial inspiration for the group came when founder John Boydston saw a swing outfit performing in San Francisco's Club Deluxe. He wanted to capture the feel of the swing era of the 1940s and bring back styles of dancing that connected the partners, and so went looking for musicians that shared that vision. By late 1992, they were playing a date under the Indigo Swing name in a San Francisco club. The most well-known lineup of Indigo Swing consisted of singer John Boydston, stage name "Johnny Boyd"; Josh Workman on guitar; Vance Ehlers on string bass; drummer "Big Jim" Overton; William Beatty on piano; and saxophone and flute player Barry "Baron Shul" Shumway. The band stressed playing original music, not just renditions of classic swing tunes. The group did a lot of touring; in many cases they opened for The Brian Setzer Orchestra. The group had a high-energy performing style. A typical Indigo Swing show had some people just listening to the music but many people up and out on the dance area the whole time. As such, the group gained a following and some measure of renown; as an Albuquerque Journal story put it, the group became "one of the name bands in swing". The group was signed to the independent label Time Bomb Recordings in 1997. A review in the Lincoln Journal Star of their first release for the label, All Aboard!, gave it four stars, saying that as a record it was the best of the recent crop of retro swing releases. A review in the Washington Post said that the album's musical mix produced "engaging results", although a "more versatile vocalist" would help at times, but praised the group's rhythm section and the saxophone work of Baron Shul. The group underwent a number of personnel changes at various times, and at the end of 1999 Boyd departed. He was replaced by singer and actress Nicole Vigil. By Spring 2000, Shumway was the only original member still remaining. The group shortened its name to just Indigo and expanded its repertoire to include 1950s rhythm and blues. Indigo toured in 2000, and hoped to find a new record label, but did not. The last incarnation of the group was called the Nicole Vigil Band and played some dates in 2001.

Thomas Hargreaves, (1775 – 1846) was an English miniature-painter. Thomas Hargreaves, born at Liverpool in 1775, was son of Henry Hargreaves, a woollen-draper. He began painting miniatures at an early age, and on the advice of Sir Thomas Lawrence, who had seen some of his work, he came to London in 1793. Hargreaves bound himself by indenture to serve as apprentice to Lawrence at a salary of fifty guineas per annum for two years from March 1793, and remained with him some time longer. Ill-health compelled his return to Liverpool, where he devoted himself entirely to miniature-painting. In 1798 he sent to the Royal Academy a portrait of Richard Suett, the comedian, and two miniatures. He exhibited there again in 1808 and 1809. In 1811 he became a member of the Liverpool Academy, and was a frequent contributor to its exhibitions. On the foundation of the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street in 1824, Hargreaves became an original member, and contributed to its exhibitions. He died at Liverpool on 23 December 1846. Among those whose portraits he painted in miniature were Mrs. Gladstone, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and his sister together as children, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, James Bartleman, the musician (afterwards in the South Kensington Museum), and others. Some of his miniatures have been engraved. He left three sons, all miniature-painters. One of them, George Hargreaves, born in 1797, was also a member of the Society of British Artists, and died in 1870.

Lucie Thésée was a surrealist poet from the Antilles, who settled in Martinique and participated in the group around the Martinican cultural review Tropiques. Life Little is known of Thésée's life. She appears to have originally come from the Antilles, and worked in Martinique as a schoolteacher. Her first poem for Tropiques, 'Beautiful As...', took Lautréamont's famous line "beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella" as its point of departure: "beautiful as a high frothing wave spurting into a crystal globe". After the Vichy official Lieutenant Bayle refused to provide paper to Tropiques, accusing the review of being "revolutionary, racial and sectarian", Thésée was amongst the six signatories to the magazine's reply. Legacy Léon Damas praised the "abundance and excellence of images" in Thésée's poetry in his 1947 Poètes d'expression française. Her poems have been repeatedly anthologised, and translated into English by Myrna Bell Rochester and Robert Archambeau. Christiane Taubira's 2018 book on literature, Baroque sarabande, recommended her work, and the reference to 'sarabande' in the title of Taubira's book may refer to the subect of a poem by Thésée.

NoMad Piazza is a pedestrian venue located in New York City on Broadway between 25th and 31st. The area, within Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood, was cordoned off to traffic as part of the NYC Open Streets program in an effort to allow restaurants to expand outdoor dining as was required for social distancing measures put in place by the city in 2020. Parts of the road closure have since become permanent and local businesses have made their move into the streets a salient feature of the area. The St. James and Townsend Buildings reside in the southern block and 31st street serves as the north boundary. Open Streets and New Urbanism The Open Streets on Broadway program, of which the Piazza is a part, is managed by the Flatiron/NoMad Partnership and supported by the NoMad Alliance. Open streets initiatives existed prior to the pandemic and are cited as an example of New Urbanism's, or sometimes Tactical Urbanism, re-purposing existing areas in metropolitan areas; however, with the need for social distancing, and for businesses to find a way to remain open, areas such as the NoMad Piazza increased substantially in the last three years in a number of cities all over the world. Businesses Several businesses in the Piazza have bundled seasonal offerings, as well as shopping discount and dining programs as a way to attract more foot traffic and business to the area.

Edward Steed (born 1987) is a British cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his work for The New Yorker. Early life Steed was born in 1987 in Suffolk, England, where he grew up in the countryside. He describes his East Anglian upbringing as a major influence on his humor. While he enjoyed drawing as a young child, he had stopped by the time he was in high school. He studied to become an architect and worked in the field in London and Beijing for a few years, but he never obtained his full qualification. Cartooning career Steed began drawing again in 2012, when he decided to change careers and became interested in becoming a New Yorker cartoonist, having seen examples of New Yorker cartoons online. His first cartoon was published in the magazine in March the following year. He subsequently moved to New York—where he continues to live—only reading a print issue of The New Yorker for the first time on the plane to America. Since then, he has been a regular contributor of cartoons and cover illustrations for the magazine. In 2015, he was featured in the documentary Very Semi-Serious, about cartooning at The New Yorker. His work has been noted for its "signature scratchy line mark" and its "succinct, oblique humor" and "dark hilarity." He cites Charles Barsotti, John Glashan, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, and André François among his influences. Steed has also produced illustrations for other magazines and projects, including the album cover for Father John Misty's Pure Comedy in 2017, for which he won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. The cover was also ranked second in the 2017 Best Art Vinyl awards.

The Dalle à ammonites (or Dalle aux ammonites) at Digne-les-Bains (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) is a remarkable natural site constituting of a rock strata bearing a large number of fossilized ammonites. This site is located approximately 1.5 km south of Digne-les-Bains from Barles road. It is part of the Géologique de Haute-Provence National Nature Reserve. The slab, inclined at 60°, is made of grey limestone. It bears around 1 500 ammonites, 90% of which belonging to the species Coroniceras multicostatum, dating from the Sinemurian (Early Jurassic). Those ammonites can attain a diameter of 70 cm. Nautiloids, belemnites, Pecten seashells and other bivalves can also be found in the deposit. The deposit thickness is estimated to be 20 cm, deposited over a 100 000-year period. Slab history As well known as it is, the slab wasn't known until recently : Alcide d'Orbigny, who prospected the area in the middle of the XIX century, doesn't mention it. Geologists studying the ichthyosaur remains near the site only mentions numerous species of ammonites and other molluscs. The dalle is thought to have been partially unearthed for the first time in June 1941, during road works on what is now the D 900A. In 1979, before the establishment of the Géologique de Haute-Provence National Nature Reserve, earthworks began to uncover the slab and unearthed 600 ammonites over 160 m2. Until 1994 only 200 m2 were visible. After this date, the Géologique de Haute-Provence National Nature Reserve took the task of clearing an additional 150 m2 to attain a total area of 350 m2. The 160 m2 already unearthed in 1992 of the slab were molded in 1992 by the geological reserve for the city of Kamaishi in Japan (who desired to buy the original). The mold was realized in 30 parts, which were sent and reassembled in Japan. Geological aspect Similar sites An almost horizontal Ammonoidea slab, from the Triassic or the Jurassic, is located below Fressac bridge over the Conturby river in Gard. Geodynamic context The Dalle à ammonites was created during the Alpine orogeny. The Dignes-les-Bains area is located in the French Prealps, in the Dauphinois geological facies. It bears the traces of the oceanisation preceding the orogeny beginning. The Alps were erected in several phases, after a subduction happened in the paleo-ocean Tethys. The Dalle à ammonites, as well as other sites in the area, are witnesses of the first step of this process, and of what was life in this ocean before the apparition of the mountains. They bring paleontological context for the understanding of paleoenvironments and period conditions. Paleontological analysis The fossils aspect helps to understand the sedimentation process. The good conservation of the shells give informations over the marine dynamism responsible for the deposit conditions : an hectic environment, like a beach or a coast, were the waves actions were strongly felt, with a tendency to break the shells, leading to fragmentary deposits, settled as faluns or lumachella. The majority of the fossils on the slab are still almost complete, which lead to the hypothesis of a milder environment, deeper, and better preserved. Moreover, this deposit was effected over the carbonate compensation depth, and hence at an average depth. The tapophenosis analysis, as well as the position of the shells, lead to the conclusion that the Dalle à ammonites was an accumulation facies : a large number of dead animals were carried by weak marine currents, towards their deposit site. Traces of bioturbation can be attributed to the benthic fauna, such as scavenger worms, who thrived in this biotope.

Morton is a Finnish restaurant chain consisting of hamburger restaurants built into cargo containers active in summertime and the all-year-round restaurant Morton in Helsinki. History The 22-year-olds Jarna Kaplas, Petri Virta and Iiro Lyytinen founded restaurant Morton with 300 places and a music venue in Rautalampi in summer 2010. The founders were young entrepreneurship students from the Tiimiakatemia academy in Jyväskylä. They had only two and a half months of experience from the restaurant industry put together. Virta and Lyytinen were from Rautalampi with 3000 inhabitants and Kaplas was from neighbouring Suonenjoki. The restaurant was founded in an old hardware store with a business area of 300 square metres. The premises were renovated in a volunteer effort attended by 70 local people. The restaurant was named after a 18th century American politician. The roots of John Morton's great-grandfather are said to have come from Rautalampi. This business idea caused much confusion, but the restaurant became popular. During the next five years, the venue was attended by about 150 artists, including JVG, PMMP, Jukka Poika, Sound Explosion Band, Jätkäjätkät, Samuli Putro and Petri Nygård. When the founders received offers to found restaurants in other cities too, they had an idea to build restaurants in old cargo containers. The first container restaurant was founded in summer 2013 for one week at the Kansalaistori square in Helsinki as part of a marketing campaign by the city of Rautalampi. The container was later moved to the market square in Pieksämäki. The Morton restaurant in Rautalampi was closed down in 2014. In 2015 the Morton restaurant in Rautalampi was sold to a new owner. Kaplas bought all of the other activities of the chain to himself and started managing container restaurants active in summertime. The chain had three container restaurants, one each in Pieksämäki, Varkaus and Äänekoski, the latter having a restaurant with over a hundred spaces. The chain had a total revenue of over half a million euro. In 2017 the chain had a total revenue of about 800 thousand euro. In May 2018 the first Morton restaurant was opened in Jyväskylä, along the Rantaraitti trail. The other restaurants in the chain were located in Kuopio, Varkaus and Äänekoski. The Jyväskylä restaurant had 50 spaces, of which half were indoors. The lot was rented for a period of five years. The restaurant, built from two cargo containers, was 20 metres long and the chain's first restaurant where customers could eat indoors. In 2019 the chain had container restaurants in Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Pieksämäki, Varkaus and Äänekoski. The chain had a total revenue of about two million euro. In early 2020 Virta returned as creative director of the company. In middle March the company signed a preliminary contract of a container restaurant in Helsinki. In summer 2020 the Morton chain had hamburger restaurants built in containers in Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Pieksämäki and Varkaus. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic they started selling take away food for the first time. The deal of the new restaurant was confirmed in June. The container restaurants had a total of 60 employees and their combined revenue was over 2.7 million euro. The first all-year-round restaurant was opened in Helsinki, when the company had bought the activities of the container restaurant Cargo located in Ruoholahti. The restaurant had 150 customer places, of which 50 were indoors and 100 were on a summer terrace. The company started renovating the premises in late September and the restaurant was opened in November. In May 2021 Morton returned to Rautalampi by opening the chain's first café there. The café, concentrating on breakfast and pancakes, was built into a container. The chain also had restaurants in six other cities: an all-year-round restaurant in Helsinki and summer restaurants in Jyväskylä, Joensuu, Kuopio, Pieksämäki and Varkaus. Organisation The parent corporation of the company is Emäpitäjän Anniskeluravintolat Oy, whose daughter company Morton Moment Oy manages the restaurant in Helsinki. In 2020 the chain included five container restaurants active in summer and an all-year-round container restaurant in Helsinki. Awards In 2019 Kaplas was awarded best young enterpreneur of the year and was invited to the presidential Independence Day Reception. References External links Official site Restaurants in Helsinki

Pascoe who was a former executive member of the Social Credit Party before he had resigned from the party. Around 40 persons attended some from as far away as Palmerston North and Masterton including the provisional party president, James Hill-Motion. Pascoe said that the party was based partly on a modification of his own financial ideas and partly on "Seddon liberalism." Soon after the party launch the party decided against contesting the 1956 Riccarton by-election. The party's executive feeling the party policy would not be finalised in time for the election date. At the 1957 Bay of Plenty by-election Reginald Joseph Pedley stood for the Liberal Federation. Hill-Motion stated that the party planned to use the by-election campaign to advertise its policies to New Zealanders. He also pushed back on jibes that his party were "dissenting Social Crediters" instead saying "We are dissenting Nationalists, but we see a danger for the country in socialism." Hill-Motion had been a Social Credit candidate for in 1954, but regretted his nomination. The party did not preform well with Pedley only obtaining 4.26% of the vote and lost his deposit. The Liberal Federation had several policy platforms it campaigned on: The reintroduction of the leasehold in perpetuity system of land tenure A reform of the financial system by permitting the trading banks to lend their assets and customers deposits Banning trading banks from creating credit Replacing the overdraft system with a system of long or short-term loans for definite periods No direct taxation on personal income Replacement of the old age pension with a national superannuation scheme with payments equaling the basic wage and not subject to a means test Primary producers given guaranteed prices based on a reasonable assessment of production costs with a fall in overseas prices carried by the government, and similarly, the government would take the profit of higher overseas prices Encouraging development of the manufacturing industry for exporting surplus production under a similar scheme to those proposed for primary products A special sales organisation to be established for all markets and potential markets in all parts of the world At the 1957 general election only two Liberal Federation candidates stood. Pedley in and John Duggan, the Mayor of Raetihi, in . Both polled poorly with Pedley winning 124 votes (0.9%) and Duggan received 158 votes (1.2%).

The Mendoub or Mandub (, "delegate" or "representative") was a key official in the governance of the Tangier International Zone between 1925 and 1956, with a wartime interruption from 1941 to 1945. He represented the authority of the Sultan of Morocco in the zone, and was directly in charge of the affairs of the Muslim and Jewish communities which together formed the vast majority of Tangier's inhabitants. The foreign communities, by contrast, were under the authority of the zone's Administrator. Naib The Mendoub replaced the prior office of Naib ( "deputy", plural Nawab), which from 1848 was also the Sultan's representative but under the previous regime in which the sovereignty of the Moroccan Monarchy in Tangier was less compromised. Residence From 1851, the Naib was established in the building known as Dar al-Niaba ("House of the Naib") on Rue Es-Siaghine in the former home of the French Consulate. In the International Zone era, the Mendoub's main residence and office was the Mendoubia, just north of the Grand Socco in the center of Tangiers, which had been vacated by the German consulate in August 1914.

Polycauliona comandorica is a species of fruticulose (minutely shrubby) lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2021 by Dmitry Himelbrant, Irina Stepanchikova, and Ivan Frolov. The lichen is found in the splash zone of the Commander Islands in the Russian Far East; its specific epithet comandorica refers to its type locality. The type specimen was collected on Medny Island, under a colony of horned puffins. A close association with seabird colonies is common to all of the known localities of this lichen species. Several secondary compounds have been detected in the lichen, including parietin as a major compound, and minor to trace amounts of parietinic acid, emodin, citreorosein, emodinal, emodic acid, fallacinal, and teloschistin. The fruticulose growth form is rather rare in the Teloschistaceae, with about a dozen examples known in the family of about one thousand species. P. comandorica is somewhat similar in morphology to P. thamnodes; it is distinguished by its lighter yellow to grey thallus, its rougher, longer and thicker branches; its soredia and blastidia; and in the absence of apothecia.

Glencartholm in a location in Dumfries and Galloway, southern Scotland, along the River Esk. The Glencartholm Volcanic Beds contain a Palaeozoic (specifically Carboniferous) fossil fish site of international importance. Discovered in 1879, most of the fossils were removed during the 1930s, but in the 1990s a further site east, named Mumbie, was excavated. This led to the identification of further fish beds, where over 200 specimens of ray-finned fish were collected, including one possible new species There is also a farmhouse known as Glencartholm, or Glencartholm Farmhouse, which is a listed building in the parish of Canonbie, not far from the border with England, and near Glencartholm Wood. The farm has an inscription celebrating the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. References Dumfries and Galloway Paleontological sites

The Faluns Sea is a former sea which covered Western France from 16 to 3.5 Ma. It spreads from Normandy to Vienne by forming an inlet through what is today Brittany, Anjou, Touraine and Blésois. After its withdrawal it left behind it a stone rich in fragmentary shells called falun. The sea got its name from this sedimentary rock known for being rich in fossils. Description This shallow sea whose average bathymetry was around 25 m is located on the European continental shelf. It filled a gulf from the Loire river to what is now Ille-et-Vilaine, Anjou, Touraine and Blésois, with an extension in the south towards Amberre, at twenty kilometers north-west of Poitiers. This sea once separated the Paris Basin and the island that was the raised Armorican Massif in Brittany. It was a temperate to warm-temperate sea, whose temperature was estimated to 22 °C. The faluns deposits are very rich in fossil remains of animals. Many Bryozoa can be found, as well as molluscs, fish such as sharks and rays, reptiles, terrestrial and marine mammals, few birds and wood remains. In reality, there were three Faluns Seas. On three occasions, the sea transgressed on the continent and created deposits with abundant shell remains called falun. Geological history For most of the Paleogene, the Armorican Massif, emerged since the Carboniferous, was outside of any maritime influence. From the Oligocene, marine incursions (also called transgressions) from the Atlantic Ocean became more important with marine deposits such as : Quessoy (Côtes-d'Armor) ; Nort-sur-Erdre (Loire-Atlantique) ; Saffré (Loire-Atlantique) ; Chartres-de-Bretagne (Ille-et-Vilaine). At the end of the Middle Miocene, during the Serravallian, the marine transgression was at its apex. Marine deposits can be seen in : the Golfe d'Anvers ; the Golfe de la Manche occidentale ; the Golfe de la Loire ; the Golfe d'Aquitaine ; the Fosses préalpines (molasse). Those serravallian deposits appears as sands or shell-bearing limestone called faluns. Deposits Britanny faluns In Britanny, faluns are known : by deposits in the south of Dinan : the Calcaire du Quiou (Le Quiou, Tréfumel, Saint-Juvat) ; in the South : Médréac, Plouasne, Landujan ; in the East : Dingé, Feins, Gahard, Guipel, Saint-Sauveur-des-Landes ; near Rennes, were they are studied and exploited : Falun de Saint-Grégoire (Saint-Grégoire) Falun de Chartres-de-Bretagne (Chartres-de-Bretagne, Bruz) others are localized in Lohéac, Noyal-sur-Brutz, Coësmes, Erbray, Vertou. Vendée faluns Challans Normandy faluns In Normandy, those faluns are known : by deposits in Gouville-sur-Mer and Picauville. Anjou-Touraine and Blésois faluns In Anjou, in Touraine and in Blésois, those faluns are known through deposits in : Chalonnes-sur-Loire ; Chazé-Henry ; Doué-la-Fontaine ; Louresse-Rochemenier ; Noëllet ; Noyant ; Saint-Laurent-de-Lin ; Savigné-sur-Lathan ; Channay-sur-Lathan : Pontlevoy. Poitou faluns In Poitou, those faluns are known through deposits in : Mirebeau. Paleobiodiversity The Faluns Sea hosted a remarkable palaeobiodiversity. Most of the species are close to the ones today found in subtropical seas. Cartilaginous fish and bony fish : more than 20 species of sharks such as the famous Otodus megalodon, ten species of rays, a chimaera and fifteen species of bony fish. Marine mammals : a few skeletal remains of seals belonging to the species Phocanella couffoni, many bones of the extinct dugong Metaxytherium medium, cetaceans such as the small whale Pelocetus mirabilis whose holotype is kept in the Muséum d'histoire naturelle d'Angers and ten species of dolphins. Molluscs : many species of gastropods, bivalves, scaphopods. Echinoderms : ten sea urchin species, few remains of crinoids and asterids. Crustaceans : several species of crabs and spider crabs. Bryozoa : More than 150 species, some of them showing symbiotic associations with corals. Corals : Several species, all solitary.

She broke her own program record for single-season steals with 112 and her 251 field goals was also a school record. She was named All-MAC first team and won her first MAC Defensive Player of the Year. As a junior she averaged 17.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 steals and 3.4 assists per game. Her 106 steals led the MAC and were fifth in the county. In a loss to Akron on February 22 she tied the school record with 41 points and was 17 for 26 from the field. She was again named All-MAC first team and won her second MAC Defensive Player of the Year. During a senior season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, she averaged 25.1 points per game, good for third in the country, and was an honorable-mention All-American. She also led her team in rebounds, steals and assists. In the second game of the season she led Ohio with 32 points in an upset of national power Notre Dame. On March 6, against rival Miami, she notched only the second triple double in program history. She had 31 points on 14 of 19 shooting with 11 assists, 10 steals and four rebounds. She was named All-MAC first team and MAC Defensive Player of the Year for the third consecutive year and also won MAC Player of the Year. After her senior season Hooks declared for the 2021 WNBA draft. However, she removed her name and returned to the Bobcats for a fifth season as allowed by a temporary rule change as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the season she was added to the Naismith watch list for National Player of the year and the Hammon watch list for mid-major player of the year.

In the Carlisle buried baby case, American teenager Brooke Skylar Richardson (born March 9, 1999), who, having concealed her pregnancy from her parents, gave birth on May 7, 2017, at home, alone, and secretly buried her newborn daughter in the backyard of her parents' house in Carlisle, Ohio. Two months later she described what had happened to her doctor, who informed police. Richardson was charged with but acquitted of aggravated murder, child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter, and was only found guilty of serious mistreatment of a corpse. She was subsequently given three years of probation, which was ended early by the court. Brooke Skylar Richardson Personal life Richardson attended Carlisle High School in Ohio where she was a cheerleader. She suffered from an eating disorder, allegedly choosing not to not chew on gum, because it had five calories. Pregnancy and birth Richardson became pregnant during her senior year of high school. After her first gynecology appointment, Richardson was told that she was pregnant and would be giving birth in a few weeks. After hearing this news, Brooke cried out loud, stating how she was not prepared to have a baby. She begged the gynecologist for birth control, despite her pregnancy. She kept her pregnancy a secret from her friends and family. Before giving birth, she searched up “how to not have a baby” and “how to get rid of a baby" on her laptop using the internet. After senior prom, on May 7, 2017, she gave birth to the child in the bathroom on her parents' house in the bathroom, and subsequently buried the baby in the backyard. The next morning at the gym, she texted her mother, "I'm literally speechless with how happy I am. My belly is back omg". For around two months, the baby remained buried, and she did not tell anyone else, until another routine visit to the gynecologist for more birth control pills, where she admitted to burying the baby in the backyard after giving birth. Investigation The infant's skeletal remains were dug up from the backyard on July 14, 2017, and an autopsy determined that the baby's bones were partially charred and died of "homicidal violence". When interviewed by Police, Richardson was, at first, hesitant about burning the baby, but after a second police interview, she stated, "I tried to cremate the baby." Trial The prosecution alleged that Richardson had burned her newborn child's body before burying it in the back yard of her home. During the trial a forensic expert, who had previously determined the newborn's remains had been charred, revised that opinion and recanted their earlier evidence. The defense argued that Richardson was subjected to an overzealous interrogation because of the baby burning theory. After the trial, a juror said that Richardson was not convicted on the more serious charges because the "prosecutors did not prove their case."

The Little Rock–Pine Bluff media market, which encompasses the state capital and two of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. state of Arkansas, maintains a variety of broadcast, print and online media outlets serving the region. The Little Rock–Pine Bluff market includes 38 counties in the central, north-central and west-central portions of the state, serving a total population of 1,172,700 residents ages 12 and over . As of September 2021, it is ranked as the 59th largest American television market by Nielsen Media Research and the 92nd largest American radio market by Nielsen Audio. The Little Rock–Pine Bluff designated market area is served by 13 television stations (nine full-power and four low-power digital stations) and 54 radio stations (11 AM/MW stations, 28 full-power and five low-power FM stations, and 10 low-power FM translators) licensed to communities within of downtown Little Rock, along with nine television stations (three full-power and six low-power digital stations) and 110 radio stations (17 AM/MW stations, 55 full-power and six low-power FM stations, and 32 low-power FM translators) serving counties outside of the core metropolitan area. The following is a list of newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and online media that currently operate or have previously operated in Central Arkansas. In addition to referencing broadcast media outlets that serve the immediate Little Rock–North Little Rock–Conway and Pine Bluff metropolitan statistical areas (MSA), the article also lists television and radio stations licensed to non-metro counties within the broader Little Rock–Pine Bluff DMA. Newspapers and magazines The major daily newspaper published in Little Rock is the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, which is circulated statewide and publishes standalone print and digital editions focusing on the Arkansas River Valley and Ozark regions from a satellite facility based in Lowell. Founded as the Arkansas Gazette by William E. Woodruff in November 1819, it was the first newspaper to begin publication in the then-Arkansas Territory and was originally published in the pre-statehood territorial capital of Arkansas Post, before relocating to Little Rock shortly after it became the capital city in 1821. The Gazette and the rival Arkansas Democrat were consolidated into a single publication in October 1991, after Gannett sold the Gazette, which had been in financial decline for several years, to Democrat parent WEHCO Media. The Democrat-Gazette transitioned from print delivery to offering digital-only replica editions of its Monday-Saturday editions statewide in 2019, though it continues to produce a Sunday print edition. In addition to the Democrat-Gazette, a number of other regional and special-interest newspapers are published in the area such as the alternative weekly Arkansas Times and business publication Arkansas Business. Several local magazines are also published in the city, most of which maintain a focus on business, lifestyle or religious interests.

In April 1954, KRTV forfeited its license to the Federal Communications Commission and sold its studio facility to Central-South Sales Co. to serve as an auxiliary studio for the state's first VHF station, KATV (channel 7), which began operations in Pine Bluff in December 1953 and moved its city of license to Little Rock in 1958. KETS (channel 2) signed on as the state's first educational station on December 4, 1966; between 1976 and 2006, the Arkansas Educational Television Commission (a statutory non-cabinet state agency operated through the Arkansas Department of Education) expanded its Little Rock-based station into a statewide education television network, now known as Arkansas PBS, signing on five satellite stations to provide educational programming throughout Arkansas. Most of the transmitters belonging to television and radio stations in the area are located atop Shinall Mountain, just west of the immediate Little Rock city limits and near its Chenal Valley neighborhood; transmitter facilities for certain other area broadcasters are maintained near Redfield in Jefferson County. Local broadcast stations Outlying areas Areas outside the immediate Little Rock–Pine Bluff metropolitan statistical area are served by mostly low-power stations (a few of which transmit into Little Rock proper), with the exceptions of three full-power stations, two of which operate as satellite stations of the Arkansas PBS network and one acting as a satellite of the locally programmed religious Victory Television Network.

Cable television service in Pulaski County began in 1973, with service divided between Arkansas Cable Television in suburban Little Rock, North Little Rock Cablevision in North Little Rock (which would be acquired by Times Mirror Cablevision in 1977), Television Inc. in the suburbs of North Little Rock and Sherwood, and Sherwood Cablevision in Sherwood; they would later be joined by Riverside Cable in Little Rock in 1980. Cable service was established in Pine Bluff the year prior through Television Communications Corp.-owned Pine Bluff Video (subsequently renamed Pine Bluff Cable TV). Conway Corporation, which also provided electricity, water and telephone service to residents in Conway, began offering cable service in 1979. Arkansas Cable Television became part of Storer Cable in 1979; Storer expanded into North Little Rock and Jacksonville in July 1985, as part of a system swap—then the largest system trade in cable television history—that resulted in Storer also acquiring Times-Mirror's cable systems in Louisville, Kentucky and Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, and Times-Mirror acquiring Storer-owned systems in Phoenix, Paradise Valley and Mesa, Arizona, and Laguna Beach, California. Storer's Central Arkansas systems became part of Comcast (which had been operating Storer Cable under a joint venture with Tele-Communications, Inc. since 1988) in June 1994. Radio WOK was the first radio station in Arkansas, founded by Arkansas Power & Light Co. (AP&L) founder Harvey Couch and debuting in Pine Bluff on February 18, 1922. In its two-year existence, among other firsts, it became the first broadcaster in Arkansas to broadcast a sermon (presented by Little Rock-based Missionary Baptist minister Ben Bogard, whose program often promoted Initiated Act 1, a proposed legislative ban on the teaching of evolution), to broadcast a sports event (an October 1922 high school football game between Pine Bluff and Prescott high schools), and to broadcast a concert (conducted during the station's inaugural broadcast by The Federation of Music Clubs of Arkansas). The non-commercial station was entirely financially supported by AP&L, ultimately becoming a financial drain on the utility company, the limited number of frequencies then available led to complaints of WOK's signal causing interference with other stations. WOK ceased operations in June 1923 and its license was terminated by the FCC in June 1924. (Couch loaned WOK's equipment to help start a student-run station at Henderson-Brown College in Arkadelphia, where he was a trustee board member, in February 1924.) The first radio station in Little Rock was WSV, which debuted on April 8, 1922. Little Rock’s first continuous radio station, KLRA (1470 AM, later on 1420 and then 1010 AM), began in Fort Smith as WLBN in June 1927 and was reassigned to Little Rock in January 1928 (after having broadcast from the city since the previous October). The station, which would become a CBS Radio affiliate in 1929, employed an on-staff band for live in-studio broadcasts and often conducted remote broadcasts. KLRA-AM would remain popular into the 1980s and was among the last Little Rock stations with a staff of full-time news reporters. KAAY (1090 AM) began operations on 800 AM in Hot Springs in December 1924; the station, which became an NBC Blue (later ABC Radio) affiliate in March 1929 and switched to CBS Radio in June 1953 (along with a short-lived secondary Mutual affiliation from 1938 to 1939), was reassigned to Little Rock—following an aborted attempt in 1949 to relocate it to West Memphis—and became the state's first 50,000-watt clear channel station—relocating its transmitter to a tower in Wrightsville, which produced a nighttime signal that covered much of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley regions and could be received as far as parts of Cuba—in March 1953. Following its 1962 purchase by LIN Broadcasting, the rechristened KAAY switched to a innovative mixed format for the time of top 40 music, news and agricultural reports, and religious programs; KAAY became known for its Arkansas Razorbacks football broadcasts and for being the originating station of Beaker Street, an underground music program that gained a cult following throughout the Central United States during its 1966–72 run. After earlier attempts to shift to adult contemporary, country music and oldies, following its sale to Beasley Broadcasting Group in 1985, KAAY adopted a religious format consisting of Southern gospel music and brokered religious programs, which it maintains to this day. KOKY (1440 AM) signed on as a daytime-only station in October 1956; as the first Arkansas radio station to employ an African American staff and to feature programming directed towards a Black audience, it gained a following among Little Rock's Black community due partly to the station’s direct community involvement, including hosting and sponsoring various events throughout the city. Programming focused on Black rock-and-roll, blues and R&B music, religious programming (including several programs hosted by KOKY religious director R.L. Weaver, who became known as the "Top Religious Radio Personality in Arkansas") and specialty programs (such as Teen Time, a Saturday afternoon program hosted by Bill Hill, then a student at the city's Horace Mann High School). One of the station's DJs, Al Bell (who would later become an executive at Stax Records), regularly visited local restaurants, barbershops and record stores in the city's Black neighborhoods to help influence the content on his programs around the community’s musical interests and tastes. (The station, now KTUV, switched to a Spanish-language variety format in 2006; the KOKY call letters and format—which also incorporates the all-day Saturday blues and Sunday gospel blocks that originated on the AM station—now reside on 102.1 FM.) The Arkansas Radio Network (ARN) syndication service was founded in Little Rock in 1967 as the Delta Farm Network, originating as an early-morning program hosted by Bob Buice (who was then farm news director at KARK-FM [103.7 FM, now KABZ] and also conducted farm reports for KARK-TV). Utilizing news staff from KARK radio (920 AM, now KARN), general manager Ted Snider founded ARN following his 1971 purchase of the KARK radio stations from the Arkansas Radio & Equipment Company (which concurrently sold KARK-TV to Mullins Broadcasting) and expanded its offerings to include statewide news, weather and sports updates as well as specialty programs, along with its agricultural reports. By the late 1980s, ARN programming was distributed to nearly 70 radio stations across Arkansas. On February 21, 2022, Cumulus Media (which acquired ARN through its 2011 purchase of Citadel Broadcasting) announced plans to suspend the network's operations effective March 20.

Because of this, KMYA relies on the Sheridan translator, and on cable and satellite distribution to cover Central Arkansas. 2 Indicates clear-channel station with extended nighttime coverage.

Samuel Loudon (1727–1813)  was a colonial American printer, publisher and merchant who emigrated from Ireland some time prior to 1753. Loudon founded The New-York Packet and The American Advertiser and became the postmaster at New York State's first post office in Fishkill, New York. During the American Revolution he became the official printer of the State and printed the first Constitution for New York and other official documents, while also taking on some private commissions. Before and during the American Revolution Loudon became active through the use of his newspapers in the cause for American independence, and for freedom of the press. Early life and family Loudon was of Scotch-Irish ancestry who emigrated to the America colonies before 1753. Historical accounts, however, vary on his actual place of birth, maintaining he was born either in Ireland or in Scotland, while some accounts express uncertainty. In October of 1753 he owned and operated a general store on Water Street near the Old Slip Market in New York City, where he sold an assortment of wares, including powder and shot, pots and kettles, and a variety of ready-made coats and breeches, in the latest fashions. After four years he moved the location of his store to Hunter's Quay and was now operating as a ship chandler, selling supplies for ships. Loudon was married twice: On January 24, 1756, he married Sarah Oakes. Sometime before 1768 he married Lydia Griswold, the sister of Matthew Griswold the Governor of Connecticut. Loudon had five sons and three daughters. Lydia died at the age of 46 on June 11, 1788. Printing career Loudon entered into his printing career when he bought interest in the business of the printing firm of Hodge and Shober in 1775, after Shoeber bought out his partner. Loudon and Shober formed a partnership in the printing firm now called Shober & Loudon. Before the end of the same year Shober became apprehensive of the growing hostilities between England and her colonies and subsequently the firm only lasted several months when Shober sold his share of the business to Loudon, who became sole owner of the firm. In 1772 he opened a bookshop. During the American Revolution and thereafter there were only a few booksellers still in operation in New York City. Only Samuel Loudon and Hugh Gaine still had book shops by the turn of the century. American Revolution Politically Loudon was a staunch Whig and patriot. He was awarded a contract for the official printer for the state and printed orders and other documents for the Continental Army. Loudon, though a devoted Presbyterian and committed Republican, began printing a pamphlet written by Bishop Charles Inglis in March 1776 that was highly critical of another pamphlet entitled Common Sense, which was written by Thomas Paine. Inglis's critical pamphlet was entitled The Deceiver Unmasked ; or Loyalty and Interest United. Paine's popular but controversial work was highly critical of the British Crown and Parliament and strongly advocated the rebellion and the cause for American independence. Various people in New York's extralegal committees warned Loudon against printing the incitetful pamphlet. As a printer who strongly supported the ideal of free speech, however, Loudon saw nothing inconsistent with his advocacy and support for American independence by publishing a Loyalist tract criticizing Paine's work. Loudon had announced publication of The Deceiver' in several newspapers. This action caused him to fall into disfavor with the Sons of Liberty in the city. Loudon's fellow Whigs were surprised at his action and also became alarmed, and subsequently a meeting was called where the concerned parties met. After voicing their disapproval with one another, and while drinking rum during the session, Alexander McDougall, and others, set out to Loudon's house on March 19, forced their way in, pulled Loudon out of his bed, and forcibly seized and destroyed the whole original manuscript and carried off and destroyed 1,500 impressions of the controversial editorial. In response Loudon, though an advocate for independence, nonetheless strongly asserted his patriotism and voiced his resentment to it being challenged in an open letter "To the Public", which he published in the April 11, 1976 issue of his New York Packet, claiming that an affront to the freedom of the press was committed, and at a time when the question of independence was still an open question. Loudon founded and published a newspaper in New York City, The New-York Packet and The American Advertiser, on January 4, 1776, which he had printed on Thursday mornings. The newspaper was largely devoted to the cause for American independence. The heading of the newspaper had an imprint which read: "Printed by Samuel Loudon, in Water-Street, between the Coffee-House and the Old Slip." British forces arrived at New York City later that year. Loudon suspended publication of The New-York Packet on August 29, 1776. For safety he fled the city and moved his large family and printing press first to Norwich, Connecticut. The British forces in New York had already confiscated the printing press of Hugh Gaine. There for a short time he was a merchant and then later moved to Fishkill, New York. There he opened a store and print shop. He took on the responsibility of becoming the local postmaster as part of the duties of a printer. At that time in America it was not unusual for a printer to also be a postmaster. He resumed publication of The New-York Packet on January 16, 1777. Articles from the State of New York American Revolution Bicentennial Commission show that Fishkill became the first post office in the state of New York after the Americans took over the former British system in July, 1776. Fishkill then was considered the post office for the State of New York and there were only eight post offices in the 13 states. That post office was at the Isaac Van Wyck house on the Albany Post Road where Loudon also published his newspaper. He did not tell his readers about the situation at the Fishkill Post Office in the Revolutionary War years when the little hamlet was a supply depot, or that it was the first New York State post office. A ledger of Postmaster General Benjamin Franklin notes that the revenue raised by two of the 13 post offices for the first report period under the Americans on July 28, 1777. The post offices were at Fishkill and Fredericksburg, Virginia. The report shows Flshkill's revenue in that period was 1,237 pounds, 7 shillings and 8 pence, while the same period showed Fredericksburg's post office had a revenue of 62 pounds, 8 shillings and 9 pence. Loudon's printing shop in Fishkill became of great service to the Continental Congress and various statesmen during the Revolutionary War. Loudon's newspaper often featured various congressional resolutions that were enacted from time to time. In 1776 he printed an Address of the Convention of the Representatives of the State of New York, dated December 23, 1776, from Abraham Ten Broeck to their constituents. Printings of the manuscript copy of Broeck's address were also forwarded to the Continental Congress on December, 28 with notice that they had intended to have it translated into German. In a letter dated January 25, 1779, Major General Alexander McDougall submitted a letter to George Washington informing him of his orders for permits of provisions for his troops, and his proposed regulations of military prizes, requesting Washington's approval. Along with the letter McDougall had enclosed copies of the orders, and also had them printed and published by Loudon on a two-page broadside in Loudon's newspaper when he was in Fishkill. Loudon returned to New York City after the British had surrendered and had evacuated the city in August 1783. He reestablished The New-York Packet and his popular circulating library of pre-war days when he was a bookseller and librarian. In the July 11 issue of his newspaper he had devoted an entire page to the printing of The Declaration of Independence. Loudon had it printed using a large font and framed it with decorations. It became the most elaborate printing of any government document. As the State Printer he printed New York's first Constitution in 1777 and after the revolution printed the Laws of the State of New York in 1786. He also printed Noah Webster's American Magazine for 1787–1788). Post revolution In 1783 Loudon printed the famous Newburgh letter in a pamphlet called, A Collection of Papers relating to Half Pay to the Officers of the Army, which he had reprinted several times. In 1784 Loudon printed and published, Letters from Phocion, by Alexander Hamilton, who wrote under the assumed name of Phocion. Hamilton's letters criticized the way in which Loyalists after the war were treated in New York State. Loudon as a merchant used his New York City print shop as a consignment store. The sale of personal property on commission was a common practice by Loudon. On September 20, 1784, he printed the following advertisement in the The New York Packet and The American Advertiser": "German Flutes of a superior Quality to be sold at this Printing-office." The advertisement for the sale of John Jacob Astor's musical instruments was periodically published by Loudon in his newspaper to March 10, 1785. In 1784 Loudon printed and published a twenty-eight page tract, entitled, A Letter from -- in London, to his friend in America, on the subject of the slave trade : .... It was written by an anonymous writer in London, which castigated the practice of slavery and the slave trade in the American colonies. Beginning in 1785 Loudon became an active member of New York's Saint Andrew Society and for many years was an elder of the Scotch Presbyterian Church on Cedar Street. He was also an honorary member of the Society of the Cincinnati. Loudon published in 1786 the Laws of the City of New York, and another edition of the City Charter granted by Grovenor Montgomerie. In 1787 he took his son, John Loudon, into partnership, to form Loudon and Son. In 1792 Loudon retired from the business. In February, 1792, Loudon, with his son, started publication of The Diary or Loudon's Register, which was issued daily, but its publication was short lived. Loudon was commissioned in 1793 by Edmond-Charles Genêt, who had obtained asylum in American during the French Revolution, to print various letters he had written to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in the Loudon's Register. Loudon's Register also covered the events and public and political opinions surrounding the Whiskey Rebellion which ended in 1794. In 1793 a yellow fever epidemic broke out in Philadelphia which effected nearly everyone in that city to one degree or another. Not understanding its cause, and knowing no other recourse, a Presbyterian minister, John Mitchell Mason, commissioned Loudon, though retired, to print a sermon he had written, which was read in New York on a day set aside for public fasting and prayer for the people in Philadelphia. Final years and legacy On February 24, 1813, Loudon died in Middletown Township, New Jersey, at the age of eighty-six. The Fishkill Historical Society invited the public to a dedication of the memory of Loudon that was held Saturday morning, October 11, 2014, and unveiled a new historic marker that was placed at the corner of 17 Old Main St. and Loudon Drive. The plaque was erected near the location of Loudon's Revolutionary War print shop where he had served as the first postmaster for the state of New York from 1776 to 1783, when Fishkill was the only post office in that state.
