76857640 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur%20Leahy | Arthur Leahy | Arthur Leahy (5 August 1830 – 18 July 1878) was an Irish colonel in the Royal Engineers.
Biography
Leahy was the seventh son of John Leahy, esq., J.P., of South Hill, Killarney. He was born 5 August 1830, and educated at Corpus Christi Hall, Maidstone, and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He obtained a commission as lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 27 June 1848, and, after completing his military studies at Chatham, was quartered in Ireland until 1853, and after that at Corfu.
On the outbreak of the war with Russia in 1854, he joined the army at Varna and proceeded with it to the Crimea. He was present at the battles of Alma and Inkerman. During the early part of the siege he was acting adjutant, and in charge of the engineer park of the left attack under Major (later General Sir) Frederick Chapman. In managing the park and the engineer transport train he first had an opportunity of showing his characteristic energy and industry. As the winter set in Leahy was appointed deputy-assistant quartermaster-general for the royal engineers. In the 'Journal of the Siege Operations,' published by authority, Leahy is credited with invaluable services in providing for the comfort and proper maintenance of the engineer troops. He received the Crimean war medal with three clasps, the Sardinian medal, the Turkish war medal and the 5th class of the Medjidie.
From the Crimea he returned to Corfu in and became a second captain on 2 December. His brevet majority for service in the Crimea, which he received some time after, was antedated 8 December 1857. He returned home early in 1858, was stationed for a short time at Woolwich, and in June was appointed to the staff of the inspector-general of fortifications at the War Office. In 1864 he became assistant-director of works in the fortification branch of the War Office. When he went to the War Office, the defence of the home arsenals and dockyards had become a matter of urgency, and tie defence loan, the result of the royal commission on the defences of the United Kingdom of 1859, provided the necessary funds. The work thrown upon the fortification branch was enormous, and Leahy's share of it large. In addition to his regular work, he was a member of many committees, and in 1870 was secretary of that presided over by Lord Lansdowne on the employment of officers of royal engineers in the civil departments of the state.
Leahy was employed at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, and made three able reports, which were published, on military hospitals and barrack buildings, on field hospital equipment, and on military telegraphy and signalling. He became a brevet lieutenant-colonel on 29 November 1868. In July 1871 he was appointed instructor of field works at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, and owing to his efforts the instruction in fieldworks and kindred subjects was made available not only for the whole regular army but also for the militia and volunteers, it was also due to his initiative that classes for pioneer sergeants of infantry were introduced, and he himself prepared the official manual for their instruction. He took considerable interest in the field park and its workshops, and brought them into a high state of efficiency. He was promoted to be regimental lieutenant-colonel 10 December 1873, and in March 1876 was sent to Gibraltar as second in command of the Royal Engineers. He was promoted brevet-colonel 1 October 1877. The following year he was attacked by rock fever, was taken home, and died on 18 July 1878 at Netley Hospital, Southampton. Leahy was twice married, first in 1857 to Miss Tabuteau, by whom he had two children; and secondly to Miss E. J. Poynter, by whom he had five children. He was the author of a pamphlet on army reorganisation, 1868, 8vo.

76858022 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitoba%20Provincial%20Road%20224 | Manitoba Provincial Road 224 | Provincial Road 224 (PR 224) is a paved north–south highway in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. Traversing the right bank of the Fisher River for nearly its entire length, it provides road access to the community of Fisher Bay, as well as the First Nations of Peguis and Fisher River.
Near its northern end, PR 224 does pass through a short section of Fisher Bay Provincial Park.
Route description
PR 224 begins roughly east of the town of Hodgson along the northern border of the Rural Municipality of Fisher, at an intersection with PR 325, which also serves as the northern terminus of PTH 17. The highway immediately enters the Peguis First Nation as it winds it way through residential areas while following along the banks of Bottle Creek for the next few kilometers. Passing by where Bottle Creek and another tributary converge to form the Fisher River, PR 224 begins following the river as it travels through the business district/settlement of Peguis. The road passes some more residential areas before leaving the First Nation and curving eastward to travel through wooded areas for a few kilometers. It now passes through the community of Dallas/Red Rose, where it meets the southern end of PR 412 (Jackhead Road), which provides access to the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation as well as the Provincial Parks of Lake St. Andrew and Lake St. George, before entering the Fisher River Cree Nation. PR 224 crosses a bridge over the Fisher River to pass through the main settlement of Fisher River, including its business and residential districts. The highway leaves the First Nation and turns northward away from the river to travel through a short section of Fisher Bay Provincial Park before entering the community of Fisher Bay and coming to an end at a T-intersection with a residential street along the coastline of Lake Winnipeg's bay of the same name. The entire length of Provincial Road 224 is a paved two-lane highway.

76858562 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva%20Best | Eva Best | Eva Best (, Williams; pen name, Saturn; 1851–1925) was an American story writer, poet, music composer, dramatist, and painter. She worked as a newspaper editor. She wrote a great deal in dialect.
Best was among the first persons to recognize the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar and was influential in bringing him before the public. In his youth, Dunbar was an elevator attendant in the same building in which Best's father conducted an architect's office, and she became acquainted with the youth and his literary endeavors through seeing him in her father's building.
Early life
Eva Williams was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, December 19, 1851. She was the eldest daughter of John Insco Williams and Mrs. Mary Williams, who removed to Chicago, Illinois. Her father was an artist and painted the first bible panorama ever exhibited in the United States. Her mother is also an artist of merit as well as a writer of verse and prose. Eva's brother, Charles Insco Williams, was an artist and architect. A sister, Lulu, married William I. Buchanan.
Career
Best started her literary career as a poet. "The Beautiful Thought", "Love and Hate", "A Promised Day", and "Thou Art" are included in The New Cycle (1899), while "The Power of Thought" was included in the Bible Review (1905).
She began writing for the papers in 1871, encouraged to do so by W. D. Bickham, of the Dayton Journal (now, Dayton Daily News). In 1872, she began contributing to the Cincinnati Saturday Night, and afterward for The Cincinnati Times-Star, under the nom de plume of "Saturn". She then wrote for Godey's Magazine, for Arthur's Lady's Home Magazine , and for Peterson's Magazine. Her first short story appeared in one of the Frank Leslie's periodicals. That was followed by stories in other publications. In 1882, her services were sought by the editor of the Detroit Free Press, with Best becoming the editor of the household department of that paper. She was also a regular contributor to Ansel Nash Kellogg's Newspaper Company. In 1900, Best joined The New Cycle where her editorial work focused on "The Home Circle" department; she also provided poems and short stories.
Best wrote several dramas. The first, An American Princess, ran at least six seasons. A comedy drama, Sands of Egypt, was in the hands of Miss Elisabeth Marbury, of New York City. A Rhine Crystal was being used by Miss Floy Crowell, a New England artist. Best's other plays, The Little Banshee and Gemini, the former in Irish dialect, the latter a two-part character piece, were written for Miss Jennie Calef. In all these plays the music, dances, ballads and all incidental scores were distinctively original. In her dramatic work, she composed both the songs and the music with which her dramas were interspersed.
Best wrote a number of ballads. One of her peculiar advantages in the writing of stories was her ability to sketch such illustrations as she required to visualize her thoughts. She devoted some attention to art. She often painted landscapes, flower pieces, and fruits, and was also extremely apt and original in the art of designing.
Personal life
In 1869, she married William H. Best, of Dayton, Ohio, and made her home in that city. They had two children, a son and a daughter.
Eva Best died in Dayton, Ohio, April 17, 1925, after being ill for four months. Burial was in that city's Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum.

Biography
Lewis was born at Woolwich on 10 November 1784. He was educated privately and at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. On completing the course of study at the academy, he was sent with the next two senior cadets to the west of England to be instructed in surveying under Major William Mudge, before obtaining his commission in the Royal Engineers. He was gazetted second lieutenant on 15 March 1803, and lieutenant on 2 July the same year. After a year at Chatham he joined the Portsmouth command, and in May 1805 embarked with the expedition under Sir James Craig. He served for a time at Malta, and then took part in the campaign of Naples and Calabria. He was present at the battle of Maida on 4 July 1806, and after it joined Colonel Oswald's brigade in a projected attack on the castle of Scylla. They arrived before the place on the night of 11 July. Lewis and the English engineers laboured unceasingly in the construction of the siege batteries, from which fire was opened on the 21st. So great was the effect that on the following day the garrison capitulated. It consisted of some four hundred sappers and miners and artillerymen, being all the men of the technical corps of the Calabrian army, under Colonel Michel of the French engineers.
Lewis was promoted second captain on 18 November 1807. He served under Sir John Stuart at the capture of Ischia and Procida in the Bay of Naples in August 1809, and in the Ionian Islands under Sir John Oswald at the siege of Santa Maura in 1810. In February 1811 he returned to England, staying at Gibraltar on his way, and was stationed at Woolwich. On 10 July he embarked with the expedition for Sweden and the Danish island of Anhalt, and returning in September was sent to the eastern district. In December 1812 he embarked for Portugal, and was employed in throwing up the lines round Lisbon. In 1813 he served in the campaign in Spain under Wellington. He was promoted captain on 21 July 1813. At the siege of San Sebastian he was twice wounded, and in the assault of the breach on 25 July so severely, that his leg had to be amputated above the knee. He was mentioned in Lord Lynedoch's despatches as having distinguished himself by gallant conduct, and was promoted brevet major on 21 September for his services. The same month he returned to England invalided. After some time on the sick list he joined the army of occupation in France, and in the autumn of 1817 was employed on special service.
On 18 January 1819 he embarked for Newfoundland, where he served for some years. On 29 July 1825 he was promoted lieutenant-colonel. He returned to England on 18 September 1827. On 1 April 1828 he embarked for Canada to serve on a commission on the Rideau Canal, and came home again on 6 September. He was commanding royal engineer at Jersey from December 1830 till January 1836; at the Cape of Good Hope from March 1836 until the autumn of 1842; in Ireland from January 1843 to January 1847, and at Portsmouth from January 1847 till 3 April 1851. On 20 June 1838 he was promoted brevet colonel, and on 23 November 1841 regimental colonel. From April 1851 until July 1856 he was governor of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich.
He was promoted to be major-general on 11 November 1851, and lieutenant-general on 12 August 1858, and was made a colonel commandant of the corps of Royal Engineers on 23 November 1858. He received the Peninsular war medal with two clasps (Maida and St. Sebastian), and was made a C.B. for his war services. He also received a pension of 200l. per annum for life for his wounds, and a distinguished service pension of 100l. per annum. He died at Brighton on 24 October 1859.
On 6 March 1821 Lewis married Miss Fanny Bland at St. John's, Newfoundland. Lewis was joint editor with Captain J. Williams of the ‘Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers,’ and of the ‘Corps Papers,’ from 1847 until 1854. He also contributed to them the following papers: quarto series, vol. vi. ‘Use of Fascines in forming Foundations;’ vol. vii. ‘Application of Forts, Towers, and Batteries to Coast Defence and Harbours;’ vol. ix. ‘On the Value of Fortresses;’ vol. x. ‘Memoir of Professional Life of Lieutenant-Colonel Brandreth, R.E.,’ ‘Defence of Country South of London,’ ‘Campaign of the Sutlej;’ octavo series, vol. i. ‘Observations on the Explosion of Mines at Seaford;’ vol. ii. ‘Description of Military Chapel at Dublin,’ ‘De la Défense Nationale en Angleterre;’ vol. iii. ‘Field Works for the Defence of Sicily in 1810;’ vol. iv. ‘Topographical Notes on the Seat of War in Turkey;’ vol. v. ‘Coast Defences;’ vol. vi. ‘Preponderance of Attack over Defence in Sieges;’ vol. vii. ‘Influence of Fortification upon Military Operations.’ ‘Corps Papers,’ No. 1, ‘Remarks on Casemates for Sea Batteries,’ ‘Drawbridges.’

Biography
Fuertes Suárez was born in Oviedo, Asturias. His mother Eloína Suárez (1922–2024) was the city's first female mayor in 1978, while his father Alfonso Fuertes (died 1959) was a professor of law.

The song was written by Rea, and produced by Jon Kelly and Rea. It failed to reach the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, but did reach number 129 in Record Business magazine's Bubbling Under Singles chart.
Critical reception
Upon its release as a single, Denis Kilcommons of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner praised "Every Beat of My Heart" as a "beautiful ballad" which is "immacuately performed". The Mansfield & Sutton Recorder described it as an "extremely powerful ballad that should put Chris in the charts" and added, "Undoubtedly he is one of the best singer/songwriters we have in this country today." The Runcorn Guardian called it a "taste of Rea at his best" and continued, "This Geordie singer/songwriter produces consistently high quality sounds, but hitherto, has only received vicarious success for his work." Sunie of Record Mirror was negative in her review, noting that Rea "husk[s] away on an Adult Orientated (i.e. Boring) ballad, and highly soporific it is too". She continued, "Not much to my taste, but of inestimable therapeutic value for insomnia sufferers."

76858925 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil%20Song%20%28Canc%C3%B5es%20Do%20Brasil%29 | Brazil Song (Cancões Do Brasil) | Brazil Song (Cancões Do Brasil) is a studio album by Mark Murphy.
Brazil Song (Cancões Do Brasil) is the 20th album by American jazz vocalist Mark Murphy. It was recorded when Murphy was 51 years old in 1983 and released by the Muse label in the United States in 1984. This album is collection of Brazilian jazz songs.
Background
Mark Murphy had a fondness for Brazilian songs. Murphy had recorded Brazilian music previously on Mark Murphy Sings ("Empty Faces"), Who Can I Turn To ("Star Sounds"), Midnight Mood ("Sconsolato"), and others. However, Brazil Song was Murphy's first all-Brazilian jazz album. He later released Night Mood in 1987 dedicated to Ivan Lins. He continued to record many Brazilian songs during his career, singing many of them in Portuguese. In his book A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, Will Friedwald pointed out that Murphy dedicated his late nightclub sets to Brazilian rhythms in his Birdland engagements.
After touring in 1982 Murphy spent two weeks in Rio. He absorbed the music and culture and collected recordings of Brazilian jazz. He was inspired to do an album devoted to the music. In the liner notes to Brazil Song, he told Michael Bloom, "We've lost the great era of singer/songwriters and the Broadway stage. They write musicals but they don't write songs anymore - not songs you can take out and do as independent numbers. I don't hear much new material that knocks me out. So, the best songs now being written are coming from Brazil. It's almost as though they’ve written into the Brazilian Constitution that it is illegal to write a bad song”.
Also in the liner notes Murphy writes about his experience visiting a museum dedicated to Carmen Miranda "who personally brought the Samba (her country's gift to popular music) to the USA and the world". He had been a longtime fan of Miranda after seeing her movies. Murphy dedicated the album to her and to "Elis Regina, the greatest of the contemporary Brazilian singers - who brought us so much joy and excitement and died much too soon" who "must be mentioned in this dedication as well, as must my two new favorite Brazilian lady singers. Rose and Leny Andrade".
Recording
"No one asked me to make this album", Murphy told Bloom in the liner notes. "I did it because I thought that Brazilian songs were not being done correctly - that North American singers have not been able to capture the correct musical pulse of this music, mainly because of the Tin-Pan-Alleyish lyrics given to some of the tunes. The rhythmic pulse has a different timing; I think that's a quality inherent in the Portuguese language. So I try to sing the English lyrics as though they were Portuguese."
The recording was made with a San Francisco-based group, Viva Brasil, who Murphy found to be authentic interpreters of Brazilian songs. "I knew I couldn't do this project with a pickup group," Murphy explained to Bloom. "I had to have a unit, musicians that knew each other well." Jay Wagner, Viva Brasil's keyboardist, did the arranging and played synthesizer. The other members included singer Julia Stewart, percussionist Michael Spiro, pianist Michael Austin-Boe, guitarist Claudio Amaral, and drummer Rubens Moura.
Murphy sings "Outubro" in Portuguese, his first recording in Portuguese. Jones points out in his Murphy biography that many singers prefer original lyrics in Brazilian songs because the English versions tend to drastically change the original meaning. Murphy produced the album with Lupe De Leon, who had worked on Stolen Moments and would go on to produce Night Mood and September Ballads.
Reception
Scott Yanow assigns 3 stars to this release in the AllMusic Guide to Jazz.
Authour Will Friedwald said, “When it comes to the bossa nova, no other American jazz singer can touch Murphy”.
Murphy biographer Peter Jones singles out "Two Kites", "Nothing Will Be", and "Bridges" for praise.

76858956 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode%20to%20O | Ode to O | Ode to O is the second album by the OGJB Quartet, a collaborative ensemble named after the first letters of the musicians' first names, featuring saxophonist Oliver Lake, cornetist Graham Haynes, double bassist Joe Fonda, and drummer Barry Altschul. Named after the title track, a tribute to Ornette Coleman, it was recorded on June 7 and 8, 2019, at Sear Sound Studios in New York City, and was released in 2022 by TUM Records.
Reception
In a review for All About Jazz, John Sharpe wrote: "one of the most striking traits is how much they sound like a band... This is an outfit which merits a longer run than it may get given the difficulty of getting the four principals together."
Will Layman of PopMatters stated: "If 'vintage' sometimes means seeming old-fashioned or left behind, then these gentlemen demonstrate that fresh thinking is possible at any age. They play here with an exquisite connection to each other and to music history."
Writing for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman commented: "The mere fact that there's a second album by this group makes me happy. They've got a unique sound, based entirely on the interplay between the four members' personalities... there's a significant distance between what each of them does in other contexts. So listening to them cross those spaces to find somewhere to meet is what makes this music interesting."
The Big Takeover'''s Michael Toland remarked: "These veteran heavy hitters bring all of their talents to bear on Ode to O... It would be extremely difficult for these players to create bad music in the first place, but it's clear on Ode to O the extra inspiration they take from each other's presence."
In an article for The Quietus, Peter Margasak noted that the musicians have found "a bracing freebop sweet spot together," and wrote: "there's an abiding equanimity to the proceedings, imbuing the performances with grace regardless of how fiery things might get... The themes are elegant and memorable, elastic enough to support some fiery blowing and rhythmic dissection."
Daniel Spicer of Jazzwise praised the title track, calling it "a deceptively conventional hard-bop swinger with a big-grinned joie de vivre," as well as "Da Bang" (dedicated to Billy Bang), which "bursts out of an extended solo drum intro with an irresistible bass vamp heavy enough to establish its own gravitational field. Serious fun."The New York City Jazz Record's George Kanzler also singled out the title track, on which Altschul and Fonda "mesh, expanding and contracting rhythms like images in a kaleidoscope, Lake and Haynes trading and jamming lines, cornet floating long notes, alto bobbing and weaving, pinching a note, arpeggiating a string of them."
A writer for Glide Magazine stated: "OGJB take in both a wide swath of sound and emotion as they journey into startling, ever-unpredictable territory.... the spirit of Coleman's free expression prevails throughout, as if to form a more contemporary but less direct version of the acclaimed quartet Old and New Dreams... who directly channeled Coleman's music."
Gary Chapin of The Free Jazz Collective commented: "I'm not going to call it effortless, but there's an ease to the group that comes from their decades of experience and the naturalness of their musical relationships. To me, OGJB represents a great time in the past, and a great time in the present."
Jon Garelick of The Arts Fuse'' selected the album as one of the ten best jazz releases of 2022.

76859215 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirixalus%20trilaksonoi | Chirixalus trilaksonoi | Chirixalus trilaksonoi is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. There are two separate populations, both in Indonesia.
This frog has been found in paddy fields, perched on paddy plants, and on oil palm plantations. The frog has been observed between 191 and 400 meters above sea level.
The species' breeding habits have yet to be observed, but scientists presume they lay eggs in streams and grow through larval development, like other frogs in Chirixalus.
The IUCN classifies this frog as endangered because of its small range, which is undergoing continued degradation. Pesticides can also kill this frog.

History
The family's surname, Merry del Val, was formed by combining the surnames of the 1st Marquess's paternal grandparents: Rafael Merry y Gayte and María de la Trinidad del Val Gómez. The Merrys were the Irish noble family, originally from County Waterford, that settled in Seville in the 18th century. Those of the Val were a noble lineage from the Kingdom of Aragon, originally from Zaragoza.
The parents of the 1st Marquess were Sofía Josefa de Zulueta (1839–1925), and Rafael Carlos Merry del Val (1831–1917), a career diplomat who served as the Spanish Ambassador to Belgium, to the Holy See, and Minister at the Imperial Court of Vienna, and Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth II and Kings Alfonso XII and Alfonso XII. The 1st Marquess served as Spanish Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1913 until 1931. The younger brother of the 1st Marquess was Rafael Merry del Val (1865–1930), who became Cardinal Secretary of State to Pope Pius X. The 2nd Marquess served as the Spanish Ambassador to the United States, among other countries. As the 2nd Marquess died without issue, he was succeeded by his nephew, Rafael Merry del Val y Melgarajeo, son of the 2nd Marquess's younger brother Pablo, whose children inherited the title Count of Valle de San Juan.

76859297 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus%20Well | Hippocampus Well | The Hippocampus Well (Danish: Havhestebrønden) is a fountain by Niels Skovgaard, carved in stone in the shape of a Hippocampus. Originally installed on Kultorvet in Copenhagen, it has now been moved to the central courtyard of the Danish Design Museum on Bredgade. A plaster model is on display in Vejen Art Museum.
History
The fountain was created as Niels Skovgaard's submission to a competition for a new fountain on Vesterbros Torv in Copenhagen. Elijah's Church was inaugurated on the square in April 1906. At its meeting on 20 May 1908, Foreningen til Hovedstadens Forskønnelse decided to launch a competition for the design of a fountain for the "new square". The three other artists who were invited to participate in the competition were Rasmus Harboe, Hans Tegner and J. F. Willumsen. The deadline for submissions of their proposals were already in July the same year. Hans Tegner did not submit a proposal. Willumsens proposal was believed to require too much water. The board of the association did not have a clear favourite between Skovgaard's and Harboe's proposals. It was initially decided to install 1;1 models of both works on the square but Skovgaard was unable to meet the deadline and Harboe's proposal was therefore selected as the winner.
The architect Hans Henrik Koch had been strongly in favour of Skovgaard's proposal. In November 1910, at a board meeting in Fonden til Kunstneriske Formaals Fremme, he proposed that it should be installed in another location. It was ultimately decided to install it on Kultorvet. It was unveiled in August 1916. The greenish stone from Norway soon turned out to be badly affected by the weather. In 1923 the fountain was therefore moved to a more protected location in the courtyard of the Danish Museum of Arts & Crafts.
Other versions
A plaster model from 1908 was acquired by the Ny Carlsberg Foundation in 1943. It is in the collection of Sorø Art Museum.
A 1:1 plaster model was put on storage in Christiansborg Palace. In 1996, the severely damaged model was transferred to Vejen Art Museum. It was subsequently restored and is now on display in the museum's Skibbelund Hall. Om April 2004, Bejen Kunstmuseum bought another plaster model of the work (19.2 × 18.8 × 28.2 cm) at auction. A stoneware version is located in a private garden.

76859409 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibane%20and%20Barryroe | Ibane and Barryroe | Ibane and Barryroe (; archaic spellings Ibaune, Ibawn, O'Bathumpna, Barriro, Barriroe) is a historical barony in southern County Cork, Ireland.
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.
History and etymology
The Ó Floinn were the ancient chiefs of the territory of Uí Baghamna (Uí Badamna). Parts of the region were part of the ancient land of Corcu Loígde. Abbeymahon Abbey was also called the monastery of Uí Badamna.
The Ó Cobhthaigh clan had seven castles on the coast and were lords of a region called Triocha Meona. The Ó Cuileannáin family also had land in Ibane, while the O'Fehilly of Tuatha O Fitcheallaigh were rulers of west Barryroe and the Ardfield parish.
Barryroe is named for the Barry Roe ("Red Barrys") sept of the Anglo-Norman De Barry family. The name "Ibane and Barryroe" is misleading as it implies two separate regions, when it is actually a single area, before the Norman invasion "Ibane" and after that "Barryroe."
The 1340 Book of Ballymote mentions that the Corco Laige Cuil are descended from Mac Niad, son of Lugdach; the descendants of his son Eocho became the Hui Badamna (Ibane).
It was a holdout of the Irish language; the 1871 census showed Ibane and Barryroe with 59% Irish speakers, the highest rate in County Cork.
Geography
Ibane and Barryroe is located in the south of County Cork, comprising two chunks of coastal land either side of Clonakilty..
List of settlements
Settlements within the historical barony of Ibane and Barryroe include:

Biography
Robinson was born 8 March 1826, and entered the military college of the East India Company at Addiscombe in 1841. He was appointed a second lieutenant in the Bengal engineers on 9 June 1843, and, after going through the usual course of instruction at Chatham, embarked for India in 1845. He arrived in time to join Sir Hugh Gough's army and take part in the Sutlaj campaign. He was engaged in the battle of Sobraon, and received the war medal. He was promoted first lieutenant on 16 June 1847. In 1848 and 1849 Robinson served in the Panjab campaign, and took part in the battles of Chillianwallah, 13 January 1849, and Gujerát, 21 February 1849, again receiving the war medal. In 1850 he was appointed to the Indian survey, upon which he achieved a great reputation for the beauty and exactitude of his maps. His maps of the Rawal Pindi and of the Gwalior country may be specially mentioned. He received the thanks of the government for his book, and the surveyor-general of India observed: ‘I have no hesitation in saying that these maps will stand in the first rank of topographical achievements in India, and I can conceive nothing superior to them executed in any country.’ On 21 November 1856 Robinson was promoted captain, and on 31 Deember 1862 lieutenant-colonel.
In 1865 Robinson was appointed director-general of Indian telegraphs. He entered on his duties at a critical time in the development of telegraphs. During the twelve years he was at the head of the department, the telegraphs, from a small beginning, spread over India, and were connected by overland and submarine lines with England. His zeal and activity, joined to great capacity for administration and organisation, enabled him to place the Indian telegraph department on a thoroughly efficient footing, and the lines erected were executed in the most solid manner. He took a leading part in the deliberations of the commission at Berne in 1871, and of the international conferences at Rome and St. Petersburg, on telegraphic communication. He was promoted to be brevet-colonel on 31 December 1867, and regimental colonel on 1 April 1874. He died on his way home from India on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Travancore, at sea, on 27 July 1877.

Biography
Smith was the second son of George Smith of Edwalton, Nottinghamshire, and afterwards of Foëlallt, Cardiganshire, by his wife Eliza Margaret, daughter of Welham Davis, elder brother of the Trinity House. He was born at Foëlallt on 16 April 1805. He was educated at Repton and at the high school, Edinburgh, entered the military college of the East India Company at Addiscombe in 1822, and received a commission as second lieutenant in the Madras engineers on 17 June 1824. He was promoted to be first lieutenant on the following day, and went to Chatham for a course of instruction in professional subjects. Smith left Chatham on 4 February 1825, and arrived at Madras on 2 September of the same year.
On 28 April 1826 Smith was appointed acting superintending engineer in the public works department for the northern division of the presidency, and on 2 May 1828 he was confirmed in the appointment. He thereupon began a series of investigations in reference to lighthouse-lanterns, devising a reciprocating light. Smith suggested to government the improvement of the lighthouse at Hope's Island, off Coringa, and at the end of 1833 his services were placed at the disposal of the marine board, with a view to the improvement of the lighthouse at Madras. On 11 February 1834 ill-health compelled Smith to sail for England on leave of absence. Before his departure the governor in council informed him in very complimentary terms that the marine board had adopted his plans for remodelling the lighthouses both at Madras and at Hope's Island. He was promoted to be captain on 5 March 1835.
Smith remained in England until 28 July 1837, and in the same year he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He was given an extension of furlough to superintend the manufacture of apparatus for the Madras lighthouse. He employed his leisure in the translation of J. L. Vicat's valuable treatise on mortars and cements, to which he added the results of many original experiments, and saw the work through the press before leaving for India. It appeared as ‘A Practical and Scientific Treatise on Calcareous Mortars and Cements, Artificial and Natural, with Additions,’ 8vo, London, 1837. On his return to Madras on 13 December 1837 he was appointed to the command of the Madras sappers and miners, but remained at Madras on special duty. On 20 March 1838 he was appointed to the first division of the public works department, comprising the districts of Ganjam, Rajamandry, and Vizagapatam, and on 24 April he took charge of the office of the chief engineer. He served on a committee to inspect and report upon the state of the Red-hill railroad and canal, and he surveyed the Ennore and Pulicat lakes, to ascertain the practicability and cost of keeping open the bar of the Kuam river by artificially closing that of the Ennore river; thereby the whole of the waters collected in the Pulicat lake would be turned into the Kuam, a measure which he considered would afford peculiar facilities for cleansing the Black Town, besides improving the water communication between Madras and Sulurpet. Meanwhile, he superintended the erection of the Madras lighthouse, which was begun in 1838 and completed in 1839. On 5 April 1839 Smith was appointed to the sixth division of the public works department, and on 7 May to officiate as superintending engineer at Madras.
On 24 September 1839 Smith was relieved from all other duties to enable him to inspect and report upon the machinery of the mint at Madras. On 7 February 1840, the date of the re-establishment of the mint, Smith was appointed mint-master, and by a thorough reformation of the whole establishment soon brought the mint into a high state of efficiency. The satisfactory results obtained by Smith's skilful adaptation to steam power of the old and simple mint machinery driven by animal power were referred to in a financial despatch of 16 March 1841 to the court of directors as highly creditable. On 13 January 1846 he visited the Cape of Good Hope on leave of absence, returning to the mint on 28 December 1847. An innovation which Smith introduced of adjusting the weights of the blanks by means of the diameters of the pieces, instead of by their thickness, resulted in his design of a very ingenious and beautiful machine, by which twenty or a hundred blanks could be weighed to half a grain and deposited in a separate cell by a single person with two motions of the hand. After the pieces had been thus sorted they were passed through a set of circular cutters, which removed a certain weight according to the excess of each over the standard. By this means almost the whole of the blanks were obtained of the exact weight without further correction. This machine gained an award at the London International Exhibition of 1851.
Smith was promoted to be major on 2 March 1852, and lieutenant-colonel on 1 August 1854. About this time he made some ingenious inventions, which he proposed to apply to the demolition of Cronstadt; and he also invented a refracting sight for rifles. On 21 Septrember 1855 he was appointed mint-master at Calcutta. The following year he went to England to arrange about copper machinery for the mint, and did not go back, retiring on a pension, with the honorary rank of colonel, on 23 October 1857. After his return to England he devoted himself to currency problems, and favoured the introduction of a gold standard into India. He was deputed to attend the international monetary congress held in Paris in 1865, besides taking active part in the proceedings of many learned societies.
Smith was for a long time consulting engineer to the Madras Irrigation Company; he was also a director of the Delhi bank and of the Madras Railway Company, of which he was for some years chairman. On 17 May 1866 he was appointed a member of the consulting committee, military fund department, at the India office, which post he held until the committee was abolished on 1 April 1880. He died at his residence, 10 Gledhow Gardens, London, on 14 May 1882. Sir Arthur Cotton observes of him: ‘He was one of the most talented, laborious, clear-headed, and sound-judging men I have ever met with, or known of by other means.’ He married, on 27 June 1837, Maria Sarah, daughter of R. Tyser, M.D., by whom he had five sons (for the eldest of whom see below) and eight daughters. A portrait was in possession of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Percy Smith.
Smith, who was a member of many learned bodies, was author of:
‘Observations on the Management of Mints,’ 8vo, Madras, 1848.
‘Observations on the Duties and Responsibilities involved in the Management of Mints,’ 8vo, London, 1848.
‘Report on the Madras Military Fund, containing New Tables of Mortality, Marriage, &c., deduced from the Fifty Years' Experience, 1808–1858,’ by Smith, in conjunction with S. Brown and P. Hardy.
‘Remarks on a Gold Currency for India, and Proposal of Measures for the Introduction of the British Sovereign,’ 8vo, London, 1868.
‘Silver and the Indian Exchanges,’ 8vo, London, 1880.
Smith initiated the ‘Professional Papers of the Madras Engineers,’ and edited vols. i. ii. and iii. of ‘Reports, Correspondence, and Original Papers on various Professional Subjects connected with the Duties of the Corps of Engineers, Madras Presidency’ (4to, Madras, printed between 1845 and 1855; the third edition of the first four volumes was printed at the American Press, Madras, in 1859). Smith contributed to these volumes many papers, mainly on mintage and lighthouse construction.
The eldest son, Percy Guillemard Llewellin Smith was an officer in the Royal Engineers.

Named for its horseshoe shape, the lake covers just over 40 acres and has an average depth of 12 feet. The lake has no outlet, but is fed by surrounding wetlands north of the lake. The lake is less than a mile from the Pierce County border. Less than fifty properties surround the lake on Sidney Road SW to the west, SW Lake Street, and Horseshoe Avenue SW, both to the east. The nearby Horseshoe Lake Golf Course is named for the lake.
Horseshoe Lake County Park is located at the southwest corner of the lake, and has walking trails, restrooms, a playground, a boardwalk, and a ball field. The park is among the top five swimming destinations in Kitsap County according to the Kitsap Public Health District, and like all county lake swimming beaches, Horseshoe Lake has free life jacket loaning stations for children.
There are several fish species at the lake, including bluegill, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, and rainbow trout.
The lake has a history of blue-green algae blooms and elevated E. coli bacteria levels, and is occasionally closed to swimmers and fishermen, especially during summer months. The Kitsap Public Health District attributes high bacteria levels to high use of the park and a lack of an outlet to circulate water.
In 1960, seventy acres of land that include the southeast corner of Horseshoe Lake were purchased by Crista Camps, an organization that operates a Christian summer camp and ranch that serves 12,000 campers a year.
In 2021, a 20-acre brush fire near the lake prompted a response from five local fire agencies and the Washington Department of Natural Resources. One person received minor injuries, but no damage to structures were reported from the fire, which burned for several days.

76860003 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly%20Atkin | Polly Atkin | Polly Rowena Atkin (born 1980) is an English poet and non-fiction writer based in Grasmere, Cumbria.
Early life and education
Atkin was born in 1980 in Nottingham and grew up there, then lived seven years in East London before moving north. She has a PhD (2010) from Lancaster University, for which her thesis was "A place re-imagined : the cultural, literacy and spacial making of Dove Cottage, Grasmere". She has an MA in creative writing from Royal Holloway, University of London, for which her thesis was "Writing the Body Well: Poetry and Illness".
Career
Atkin taught English and creative writing at the Lancaster University from 2010 to 2014, and at the University of Strathclyde from 2014 to 2017, and has since taught creative writing at the universities of Lancaster and Cumbria.
Atkin's pamphlet bone song was shortlisted for the first Michael Marks Award for Poetry Pamphlets, in 2009. Her second pamphlet, Shadow Dispatches (2013), won the Mslexia pamphlet prize, and was shortlisted for the 2014 Lakeland Book of the Year.
In 2018, Atkin was writer in residence at Gladstone's Library.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was awarded a Northern Writers Award for Poetry, and said of it "This award not only offers creative encouragement when I really need it, but financial support which will make continuing to create possible. It has saved my year."
Atkin's 2021 biography of Dorothy Wordsworth, Recovering Dorothy: The Hidden Life of Dorothy Wordsworth, draws on Dorothy's letters and unpublished diaries and "argues for Dorothy's place in the writing of illness". It was longlisted for the 2022 Barbellion Prize for books by ill or disabled writers.
Her 2023 memoir Some of Us Just Fall was longlisted for the 2024 Lakeland Book of the Year. It has been described as "a raw and exquisite meditation on chronic illness and our place within the landscape", "An empowered and patient story, at times murky and tedious, but still poignant", and "Essentially ... a book about bearing the unbearable".
She is a founder and director of The Gravestone Project, "a digital humanities collective that brings together scholars, taphophiles, students, writers, teachers, and others interested in history, literature, and the arts, to think about the various ways that people memorialize the dead".
She was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2022.
Personal life
Atkin has one of the Ehlers–Danlos syndromes and genetic haemochromatosis, and writes and talks about living with chronic illness especially in relation to rural life and access to nature. She was a speaker at the 2023 Kendal Mountain Festival but published an open letter criticising the announcement that the festival's events would not be filmed that year, announced as an "enrichment" at short notice, arguing that this deprived many people, because of disability, geography, finance or other barriers, of the joy of access to the festival whose theme, that year, was "joy".
Atkins lives in Grasmere, Cumbria. In 2023 she and her partner Will Smith bought Sam Read's, Grasmere's independent bookshop established in 1887, where Smith had worked since 2012.

76861396 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Anarchist%20School | International Anarchist School | The International Anarchist School was an educational institution founded by the French anarchist Louise Michel in London in 1891, in order to educate the children of political refugees.
History
Background
Michel was a professional teacher who had previously educated the children of factory workers in Paris. Finding herself exiled in England in the 1890s she wanted to establish a school on anarchist principles, eschewing religion and instead guided by scientific reason, freethought and respect for individual liberties.
Establishment
Michel founded the International School in the autumn of 1891, initially using the premises of the Autonomie Club. Due to her lack of fluency in English, Michel agreed that Auguste Coulon, a polyglot she had met at the Autonomie Club, could be the school's secretary and language teacher. The project received the keen support of Peter Kropotkin, who did a fundraising lecture for it at the Athenaeum Hall, Errico Malatesta and William Morris. The newly established school soon moved to a more permanent address in, what is today, Fitzrovia.
Michel's school was a transnational endeavour set up by activists from many different countries, and open to the children of political refugees who were drawn from across the European continent. The teaching itself was largely free to access, being based on Bakuninist principles of education, as well as drawing a significant influence from the work of the anarchist pedagogue Paul Robin. Lessons at the school included various languages, crafts, arts, and music.
The International School's prospectus was designed by the artist Walter Crane, who utilised Louis Blanc's phrase "From each according to his capacity,
to each according to his needs" as the school's motto. Those who taught at the school included Victorine Brocher, Agnes Henry, Rachel McMillan and her younger sister Margaret McMillan, and Nannie Dryhurst.
Closure
Unbeknownst to Michel and her colleagues, Coulon was in fact an agent provocateur in the pay of Special Branch. As secretary to the International Anarchist School Coulon was able to come into close proximity to those involved with the institution, giving him access to their personal details, and even providing a pretence to photograph them. Over the course of 1891 staff at the school had become increasingly concerned about Coulon's behaviour and suspicious of the content of his lessons, until he was finally asked to leave. In 1892 a police raid on the premises of the school uncovered explosives and bombs in the cellar of the building, which had almost certainly been planted their by Coulon who is known to have instigated the entrapment of the Walsall anarchists during the same period.
Following his dismissal from the International School, Coulon published a pamphlet in which he made false denunciations against his successors, David Nicoll and Cyril Bell, accusing them of defrauding funds from the movement and working for the police. In 1894 Coulon would attempt to re-establish the International School under the name Ecole Anarchiste Industrielle. However, the venture failed to ever materialise.
Location
Although Fitzroy Square is often erroneously cited as the location of the school, its first site was on Windmill Street, before it was permanently housed at number 19 Fitzroy Street.
Analysis
The International Anarchist School was part of a wider anarchist pedagogical movement which developed from the late-19th century. In part this tendency was a rejection of propaganda of the deed, as well as a reaction to the establishment of formal state run education systems. The school was just one episode in Michel's broader activism on behalf of the anarchist exiles, and has been seen as a progenitor of later feminist practices within anarchism.

76861451 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky%20Man%3A%20Music%20from%20the%20Film | Lucky Man: Music from the Film | Lucky Man: Music from the Film is the soundtrack to the 2010 film Lucky Man, directed by Jean-Marie Boulet and Markus Hansen, documenting violinist and Vietnam veteran Billy Bang's 2008 visit to the country, 40 years after his participation in the Vietnam War as a tunnel rat. The album consists of field recordings created during Bang's travels across Vietnam, during which he interacted with local musicians, and came to appreciate the country's culture while at the same time seeking closure for the trauma he experienced during the war. The recording was released in 2021 on vinyl, CD, and as a digital download by BBE Music in association with IF Music.
Reception
In a review for Jazzwise, Kevin Le Gendre wrote: "Bang was nothing if not open-minded and his ability to blend a wide range of black music, from hard blues to open avant-garde, serve him well here in the company of skilled traditional players... This is deeply poignant music that offers invaluable catharsis to the horrors of war."
Karl Ackermann of All About Jazz stated: "The music is unlike anything else that Bang had recorded... Bang sometimes sounds like he has conquered his demons, but at other times, his pain is palpable... Bang's trademark acerbic but animated style is peppered with the violinist's inner dialog."
Writing for Strings Magazine, Greg Cahill called Bang's playing "poignant," and commented: "The personal nature of these field recordings has a healing effect and sheds new light on Bang’s own dogged pursuit of peace."
Jazz Journal'''s Matthew Wright described the music as "wonderful," with Bang "relating to and recognising the link between the Vietnamese style of playing and sound and his own." He praised the track titled "Mystery of the Mekong," featuring Bang's violin "soaring above a rich aggregation of strings, resonant cellos and almost rhapsodic support from the piano."
In an article for Truth and Lies'', Justin Turford called the album "an extraordinary soundtrack to an extraordinary film about an extraordinary man," with music that is "unlike anything I've heard before." He singled out the track titled "Dan Da," on which Bang's violin joins Duc Dau's dan da, a stone lithophone, describing it as "the most perfect example of improvisational skill between two masters from different worlds," and noting: "Their elation and excitement is palpable as they push and drive each other to new heights and is a privilege to behold."

76862895 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle%20Chapel%20of%20St.%20Thomas%20Becket | Castle Chapel of St. Thomas Becket | The Castle Chapel of St. Thomas Becket (also known as, the Pearl of Silesian Gothic, or the Silesian Sainte-Chapelle) was built at the end of the 13th century and is located in the eastern wing of the castle in Racibórz. Originally constructed in the Gothic style, the building incorporates elements of Baroque and Neo-Gothic architecture.
From 1288 to 1416, a collegiate church was located next to the chapel, founded by the Bishop of Wrocław, Tomasz II. The temple was repeatedly ravaged by fires, including those in 1519, 1637, and 1858. In 1988, during renovation works, the so-called Schneider's map was discovered, showing a handwritten depiction of a legendary tunnel leading under the Oder river. The chapel likely housed relics of Thomas Becket or St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów.
History
The chapel was built in the 1280s (between 1288 and 1293) as a result of the construction of a new stone castle. It was likely erected on the site of a Romanesque rotunda, as indicated by archaeological excavations conducted in the 1960s and 1980s. The previous church was probably dedicated to St. John the Baptist, whose patronage was transferred in 1307 to the church in Ostróg, built around the 12th century by Mieszko IV Tanglefoot. The foundation of the new chapel could not have occurred later than 1292 when construction began, funded by Przemysław of Racibórz. The dedication was most likely performed by Tomasz II, who sought refuge in Racibórz from Duke Henry Probus at that time, although the exact date of the dedication is unknown. In 1288, Bishop Tomasz II founded a collegiate church near the castle chapel as an expression of gratitude for the hospitality received. This event was described by Jan Długosz in the Annals or Chronicles of the Famous Kingdom of Poland:Gathering a large army, both from his own soldiers and mercenaries hired with monetary contribution which he levied on the Wrocław Church, he militarily invaded the lands of Duke Casimir of Opole and besieged the city of Racibórz due to the presence of Bishop Tomasz of Wrocław and his clergy there. Although the wealthier citizens of Racibórz endured the siege for some time and promised to endure it even longer, the startled populace, feeling the scarcity and lack of food, tormented by hunger, continually wept, groaned loudly, and sighed, hurling curses and insults at Bishop Tomasz and his clergy. Touched by this, Bishop Tomasz, out of great kindness for which he was reputed, said: 'Rather let me and my clergy fall into the hands of the tyrant than these innocent people perish from hunger. We will immediately release from danger those besieged who are dying of fear and hunger. Let us, by our capture or, if it pleases God, by our death, avert the destruction threatening this city, which has sustained us for a long time and granted us refuge'. Then he puts on liturgical garments and orders some clergy to do the same. And thus, wearing the mitre and the episcopal insignia, he sets out from the city with all his clergy in exile, to face the tyrant's camp, to appease his wrath with the greatest humility. (...) The tyrant, who saw his arrival from afar, by God's grace, was seized with such great fear that, leaping from his tent, he ran as fast as he could to meet the bishop, fell face down on the ground, and as if recognizing something divine in the bishop and honoring in him the Eternal Shepherd, begged for forgiveness for his actions. Bishop Tomasz, raising him from the ground, tearfully promised to forgive him all the apostasy he had committed, as long as he persevered in this contrition and piety. And after mutual tearful embraces and kisses, the prince and the bishop entered the nearest church of St. Nicholas without witnesses.As a commemoration of this reconciliation between Bishop Tomasz II of Wrocław and Duke Henry Probus, a monument called Unity was erected in Stara Wieś. It was also then that the chapel received the rare dedication of St. Thomas Becket, whose relics were probably brought to the castle. At the collegiate church, three canons and several vicars served, their livelihood supported by tithes from several villages in the duchies of Racibórz, Opole, and Cieszyn. In addition, the clergy at the collegiate church served as chancellors, secretaries, as well as tutors and educators to the duke's children. In the early 14th century, a wing of the duke's castle was added to the chapel. In 1309, the altar of St. Margaret was mentioned. In the 14th century, the chapel was further expanded with a porch.
In 1416, at the behest of John II, the chapter was transferred from the castle chapel to the parish church. In the 15th and 16th centuries, many of the revenues of the chapel disappeared, as Augustin Weltzel mentions:As for the chapel's revenues, many of them completely disappeared in the 15th and 16th centuries. However, if the parsons, like the custodians and scholastics, faithfully remained here and did not stray from their flock, their income would be better represented. Before leaving abroad, Count Karol Sobeck established in his will of 1739 a fund of 1,000 guilders for the castle vicar, who would receive accommodation and sustenance in the castle, serve in the chapel, and annually celebrate a requiem for all deceased subjects of the duchy, and established the feast day of St. John of Nepomuk (May 16) as a holiday for the entire duchy.In 1519, due to a fire that broke out in the castle, the chapel suffered the most damage, with the southern wall and vaults collapsing. After the fire in 1519, the collapsed southern wall was rebuilt, and the vaults were reconstructed, with the upper level lowered. Additionally, a sacristy was added on the southern side. Even after the castle passed into the hands of the Austrians, masses continued to be held in the chapel. This fact is mentioned by Augustin Weltzel:After the extinction of the Piast dynasty of the Opole and Racibórz duchies in 1532, they passed to the Austrian house as kings of Bohemia. Although later, due to the sale, the castle was separated from the duchy, the emperor retained the patronage rights, and the hereditary owners received only demesne estates, but not the privileges of founders. Both masses were to be celebrated in the presence of the duke, but now they are performed with greater benefit and with a larger congregation in the town church, one at 7:00 AM (matins), the other at 9:00 AM (high mass).Every year, four solemn processions with the martyr's relics proceeded to the chapel. The first took place on December 29, the feast day of the patron saint, St. Thomas. The second procession went to the chapel on Tuesdays during Rogation days or Maundy Thursday, while the third took place on the eve of the feast of St. John the Baptist. The last procession fell on the feast day of St. Marcellus I, the patron of Racibórz, and was established in commemoration of the foundation of the collegiate church. However, as they coincided with market days, it was conducted around the market square to the Dominican monastery. When the castle was owned by individuals of different denominations than Catholicism, such as George von Brandenburg, Jan Zygmunt Bathori, and Bethlen Gabor, masses could not be held in the chapel. From 1542 to 1629, processions, except for the Corpus Christi procession, did not take place, which was conducted in the presence of armed citizens and the chapter. An urbarium from 1595 describes the chapel as follows:At the entrance, there is a gate building and a wooden chamber, next to it, an old entrance to the castle. Right nearby stands the church with a sacristy, which, however, threatens to collapse; underneath it, there are chambers and an attic. Under the church is a vaulted room and a prison.By the end of the 16th century, the technical condition of the building had significantly deteriorated: the roof had not been repaired, the chapel had subsided, and the object, along with the sacristy, had numerous cracks, and the altars had collapsed. This was mainly due to the large space, which lacked a vault, located below the church, and the beams separating the rooms were rotten. In 1594, the castle was inspected by an imperial commission, which proposed the demolition of the chapel.
In the 17th century, during the reconstruction of the castle, the facade of the chapel acquired a Baroque appearance. In 1609, the castle was acquired by Baron von Mettich, who undertook to rebuild the church. It was probably then that a side extension was built in place of the porch. Additionally, he promised not to limit the former endowments for the local priests, and the chasubles, chalices, and monstrances were to be returned to the Church. In 1637, another fire broke out at the castle, which also affected the chapel. The reconstruction probably lasted from 1642 to 1651, resulting in a barrel-vaulted ceiling with lunettes above the crypt. In addition, the western bay was shortened, and the facade was rebuilt in the Baroque style. An urbarium from 1642 mentions a clock on the chapel tower. In 1642, the castle and the church were taken over by George von Oppersdorff. In 1670, through the efforts of George von Oppersdorff, the building was renovated, which, according to the land register, had been desecrated during the Thirty Years' War:[The chapel] completely deteriorated during the wars and became impure, but, thanks to the holy memory of Count George von Oppersdorff, it was restored in honor of Almighty God and St. Thomas Becket.During the reconstruction of the chapel, new windows, benches, oratories, matronea, and an altar were created. In 1687, a baptism ceremony took place in the church for a Turk and a Turkess. The Turk named Mahomet took on a new name, Theophilus, and his godparents were Bernard von Oppersdorff, Wenceslaus von Reiswitz, and his wife. The Turkess assumed the names Barbara Antonina Eufrazja, and her godparents were the von Reiswitz couple and George von Oppersdorff.
At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, several aristocratic weddings were held in the chapel. On 29 March 1688, Baron of Karol Gabriel von Węgierski and Countess Benigna Ester Praschma were united in holy matrimony by Scholaster Frederick Ferdinand Flade. Witnesses at this ceremony included Count Jan Jerzy von Oppersdorff, Countess Marianna von Hohenems, Count Bernard von Praschma, Frederick von Oppersdorff, and his son Frederick. On 12 February 1713, Baron Teofil von Tracha and Countess Helena Sobeck, daughter of Count Karol Henryk Sobeck, were married, and the ceremony was officiated by Abbot Józef Bernard von Strachwitz.
In the 18th century, the chapel ceased to hold religious services despite such an obligation in the founding document. This fact was met with a sharp reaction from the imperial authorities. The whole situation was described by Augustin Weltzel:At the end of 1731, an imperial decree was issued to all churches in Silesia, according to which all privileges granted by the founders had to be submitted for approval by the imperial court within six months, under the penalty of invalidation if not submitted within the specified time. The county governor (Landeshauptmann) reported to the superior office (Oberamt), and on 26 June 1732, the emperor was informed by Count Franz Anton Schaffgotsch and Lazarus von Brunetti about the cessation of daily masses and annual processions, which were endowed in the castle chapel to honor St. Thomas Becket, depriving the local pastor of various incomes, which were taken over by the chapter. Charles VI, or rather the highest chancellor of Czechia, Francis Ferdinand Count Kinsky, on 25 August 1733, summoned the royal superior office in the Upper and Lower Silesia duchies to demand from the members of the chapter a proper justification for why they had discontinued the daily services in the castle chapel against the literal content of the founding document and to present a relevant report as soon as possible. The superior office (Count Franz Anton Schaffgotsch and Lazarus von Brunetti) addressed the general vicariate, and it (Baron Jan von Redinghoven and Baron Adam Joseph von Keller) on September 12, turned to the chapter in Racibórz to submit the documents within two weeks.On 24 November 1733, the Racibórz chapter responded to the letter sent by the imperial authorities. According to the chapter, the two endowed masses had not been celebrated in the chapel for over 200 years, but their intentions were carried out in the parish church.
In 1852, a description of the castle chapel was published in the architectural monthly Zeitschrift für Bauwesen:The chapel is part of the old Piast Castle, which, built in an irregular shape, has only partially survived, as the wing towards the Oder river collapsed. Due to its strong walls, the castle served more as a fortress than as a decoration. The chapel, with its noble and pure Gothic style, undoubtedly fascinates every art lover. From the outside, squeezed between two buildings, the church does not make the best impression, with a Baroque gable closed on both sides by the roof. However, the interior is all the more beautiful, measuring 37.5 feet in length, 20 feet in width, and 44 feet in height. The boldest cross vault rises on slender columns and bundles of shafts. Ten windows and window niches, two large windows in the rear wall, and two smaller ones above the door divide the walls with graceful lines and give the chapel a free, airy look. To the left of the entrance, in the wall between four columns (three connected each), there are nine niches next to each other, which, at a height of 11 feet above the floor, were used for placing sculptures. Both the profiles of the niches and columns, vaults, and arches are of the finest shape. The right side seems to have suffered from the fire. The main altar and two side altars with modest gilding are not particularly ornate. During the castle fire in January 1858, part of the vault collapsed, but it was rebuilt by the builder Starck, and the chapel was adorned with a spire. The main decoration, beautiful stone window works, were made a few years later, however, the wooden altar and organ were erected in 1873. The restored castle chapel was consecrated on 18 October 1876.In 1858, another fire broke out, sparing no part of the chapel. The western span of the building collapsed as a result of the fire. After the fire, a brewery was built, followed by the reconstruction of the chapel (lasting until 1873), overseen by Juliusz Starcke. During the reconstruction works, the interior of the building was modernized, and the western facade of the exterior was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style. Triangular gables were added to the eastern and western elevations. Additionally, the gable of the western facade transitioned into a spire, crowned with a pyramid. Inside the church, space was made for a musical choir loft, supported by two columns. In 1873, a Neo-Gothic wooden altar of St. Thomas Becket, likely crafted by Adalbert Siekinder from Munich, along with a painting of the patron by Jan Bochenek and organs, were installed in the chapel. A few years later, the interior was enriched with stonework. The three-part windows were adorned with tracery. The consecration of the chapel took place on October 18 of the same year.
During World War II, the chapel did not suffer significant damage. On 5 December 1953, the church, along with the entire castle complex, was listed as a historic monument. However, due to the lack of interest from the authorities, the building gradually deteriorated from the early 1950s onwards. It was during this time that the altar, organs, and benches in the chapel were destroyed. From 1985 to 1987, archaeological and architectural work was conducted in the church by B. Muzolf and Z. Hejda. In 1988, an agreement was reached between the city and church authorities that the renovated chapel would be used for religious worship. In the 1990s, through the efforts of the city authorities, the facade was renovated, and conservation work was carried out on the stonework of the windows in the church. The chapel is currently owned by the State Treasury, and the facility is under the administration of the Racibórz County authorities. On 3 June 2001, at 12:00 PM, after a long hiatus, a Mass was celebrated in front of the church, presided over by Father Jerzy Hetmańczyk, the parson of St. John the Baptist Parish. However, the chapel is not currently in use.
Architecture
The temple, along with the castle house, was added to the first section of the walls from the east. It is located in the eastern wing of the castle, between the gate building and the main castle buildings. The chapel stands on the foundations of the previous temple. Initially freestanding, it is erected on a rectangular plan measuring 8.5 by 13 meters, oriented, built of brick in the Wendish work, plastered, and has stone details from hewing. The chapel was the first freestanding religious building built on a rectangular plan.
The chapel is of the aisleless type, three-bay, cross-ribbed vaulted. The western bay (Neo-Gothic) is slightly narrower than the others, the vault of the central bay is six-part, and the eastern bay is seven-part and has a transverse rib on the axis of the eastern wall. In the keystone there is a Neo-Gothic heraldic cartouche. The ribs of the eastern and central bays date from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, with a profile in the form of a roll with a break. The ribs flow into columnettes with chalice capitals from the late 13th century in the corners and the north wall. The capitals are decorated with floral and flower motifs. Triple shaft bundles are located between the bays. The southern wall has shafts from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The shafts are profiled and have corniced capitals. The shafts on the north side are cantilevered on brackets decorated with plant motifs, probably partially reconstructed in the 19th century. The shafts on the southern side reach the cornice, which runs around the interior at the height of the window sills.
The chapel windows are divided and have tracery. The side walls of the eastern and central bays have two two-part pointed-arch windows, while the eastern wall has two three-part windows with tracery. There is also tracery with a fish bladder motif on the eastern wall, which was probably reconstructed. The windows on the north side have tracery with a trefoil motif, also partially reconstructed. There are sedilia niches under the windows. Between the shafts in the eastern part of the north wall there are 3 niches, which are closed with trefoil and surrounded by richly profiled frames, the closures of which are slightly cantilevered. Triangular wimpergs with stylized crockets and crosses are present in the crowning. At the base of the sedilia there is a cornice. In the middle bay on the north side there is a passage to the castle. In the western part there is a matroneum half the width of the bay. The chapel is surrounded by buttresses with a stone cornice.
The chapel has a two-story layout, connected by stairs in the wall from the east. The upper level served liturgical purposes. There is a Neo-Gothic, brick choir supported by two columns. The lower level served as either the tomb oratory of Przemysław and his family or as a place for storing holy relics, functioning as a sanctuary. The first purpose seems unlikely, as after the death of Przemysław, he was buried in the Dominican monastery in Racibórz. The crypt under the chapel has a ribbed vault from the second half of the 17th century supported on two pillars and on chalice-shaped corbels located in the perimeter walls. In the western part there is a church porch.
In the crypt there was a tombstone of Joanna Wilhelmina Ihlee née Gröschner (died 1790). The slab was marble, had an inscription, and the ornamental top depicted the sun. In addition, the chapel housed six pewter lanterns from the first half of the 19th century. In the museum in Racibórz there is a painting of St. Thomas Becket from the altar and statues of the apostles that adorned the dismantled canon sedilia.
On the outside of the building, in the eastern corners and also at the western bay, there are trusks. The western facade of the building is Neo-Gothic, with a portal and a gable that turns into a tower topped with a spire. The chapel is covered with a saddle roof with sheet metal.
Since the mid-19th century, the castle chapel has been called the Pearl of Silesian Gothic due to its high artistic level. It is also called the Silesian Sainte-Chapelle.
Chapter
Bishop of Wrocław, Tomasz II, founded a collegiate church at the castle chapel in 1288, where three canons and several vicars served. The first canon at the castle church was Tylco, who served from 1293 to 1305. He is mentioned in documents of Duke Mieszko I and Przemysław of Racibórz. After 1305, a canon named Godin is mentioned in documents. Przemysł I had a chaplain named Jeszko, who in 1295 was also titled as a canon, and later in 1299 as the pastor of Rybnik. Documents from 1290 also mention a chaplain named Otto. From the names of the clergy, it can be inferred that they originated from Western Europe. The bishop and the duke endowed the canon prebends with tithes collected from villages belonging to the Duchy of Cieszyn and Racibórz.
In the 14th century, it is likely that none of the three canons resided in the castle anymore, because Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela obligated at least one canon to stay at the castle for a period of one year. Their task was to guard the relics, equipment, and liturgical vestments. In 1308, Duke Leszek of Racibórz became the founder of a prebend from the altar of St. Margaret, and also transferred judicial power over the colonists living in the castle settlement to the canons. On February 27, 1359, Bishop Przecław decided that the canons of the castle chapel would be directly subject to the authority of the Bishopric of Wrocław. In addition, the bishop determined the appearance of their attire and ordered them to appear before the Wrocław chapter annually during the commemoration of St. Thomas. They were also required to report on the activities of Bishop Tomasz II's foundation. The bishop, for his part, undertook to protect the legal rights of the canons, the chapel, and its possessions. Everything was recorded in a special document, which emphasized the great importance of the Racibórz collegiate church at the local castle.
In 1416, the chapter was moved to the parish church. At that time, it was served by five prelates, twelve canons, and a host of vicars. The reason for changing the location of the chapter was that the city had greater significance than the castle at that time. According to Augustin Weltzel:There was great zeal in establishing canonries to have a magnificent chapter. The castle chapel was insufficient for this purpose; moreover, canons and vicars living in the city had difficulty in punctually and promptly performing their duties due to the closure of the city and castle gates. When fourteen canonries were already established, the duke decided to request the bishop to transfer the collegiate chapter from the castle chapel to the parish church.
Schneider's map
In 1988, the city authorities, along with the Catholic Church, reached an agreement regarding the renovation of the castle chapel. During the renovation work, a map dating back to 1843 was found in the small tower on the spire. The map depicted the urban development of the city in 1843 and 1858, thanks to handwritten annotations.
The map became a historical discovery due to the annotations made by Robert Schneider, who likely oversaw the reconstruction of the castle after the fire. He marked on the map an underground tunnel that started at the site of the old castle tower and ended at the Dominican convent. This was probably the legendary passage under the Oder river described by Hyckel.
Relics
In the chapel, there were likely relics of saints placed in the lower chamber. Although in 1416 the collegiate chapter was transferred to the parish church, daily Masses were still held in the castle chapel, and four times a year a solemn procession to honor the relics kept there took place.
The first saint whose relics may have been in the chapel was its English patron, Thomas Becket. This might have been dictated by the custom of displaying the garments or bones of patrons in special places within the churches. Obtaining the relics of St. Thomas was not difficult in those times, as the Canterbury Cathedral was one of the largest pilgrimage sites.
Another saint whose relics might have been in the castle chapel was Stanislaus of Szczepanów. This could be explained by the reverence shown to this saint by the rulers of Racibórz – Vladislaus I and Przemysław. Jan Długosz mentions Przemysław's piety in the Annals or Chronicles of the Famous Kingdom of Poland:Each year, to honor him [St. Stanislaus] on his birthday, he [Przemysł] usually carried from Racibórz Castle to the Dominican monastery a candle so large that it exceeded his strength. (...) When he [Przemysł] lay in his last sickness, St. Stanislaus appeared to him and, having kindly comforted him, admonished him to prepare for the observance of his feast. To his reply: 'How can I do that when I am weak and pressed down by a severe illness?' the saint of God added: 'I will help you,' he says, 'and add strength'. Duke Przemysł promised that he would do this, and he died childless on the vigil of St. Stanislaus. He was buried on his feast day, although two of his brothers: Prince Kazimierz of Bytom and Prince Mieszko of Cieszyn, as well as the lords of Racibórz, were strongly opposed to it and wanted to keep his body longer to arrange the funeral on another day. Since the dukes and lords changed their minds, he was buried in the Dominican monastery in Racibórz, to celebrate the feast of St. Stanislaus not every year, but continuously in the future.The relics might also have come from the ancient Romanesque rotunda that presumably stood in the place of the current chapel. Consideration is given to fragments of the True Cross, which relics were very popular at the time. In the treasury of the parish church, there is even a Renaissance pax with glazed pieces of the True Cross.
However, the authenticity of the relics is doubtful because there are no records confirming their existence. It is assumed that they probably were destroyed during the fire in 1519. The scenario of the relics being destroyed during the Reformation, when the castle was owned by George the Pious Hohenzollern, is also considered. Augustin Weltzel mentions relics in the 19th century.

Biography
Little is known about Mohammedi's early life. His first political position was as head of the Algiers Autonomous Zone after the arrest of ZAA leader Saadi Yacef after Yacef's arrest by French authorities on September 24, 1957. Following Algerian independence in 1962, Mohammedi's role as head of the ZAA was transferred to wali of Algiers Province, and he received the keys to the city from French head of Algiers Vitalis Cros. Christian Fouchet stated that Cros and Mohammedi worked together during the transfer of control of Algiers from France to Algeria.
Between 1961 and 1962, Mohammedi participated in Algeria's transition to independence under Commander Azzedine and kept the peace during the 1962 Algerian independence referendum. Nadir Kassab succeeded Mohammedi as wali of Algiers on July 6, 1962, just nineteen days after Mohammedi became wali.

USS Miami (SSN-811) will be a Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine of the United States Navy, the tenth and last of the Block V boats and the 38th of her class overall.
The submarine was ordered in March 2021 for $2.4 billion. Her name was announced on 8 May 2024 by Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro during the Miami Fleet Week with city native and singer Gloria Estefan as her sponsor.
Design
Compared to Blocks I-IV of the Virginia-class submarines, Block V vessels will incorporate previously introduced modifications to the base design in addition to a Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The VPM inserts a segment into the boat's hull which adds four vertical launch tubes. Each tube allows for the carrying of seven Tomahawk strike missiles, increasing her armament to a total of 40 missiles.
Her namesake Miami'' has been carried by four ships of the US Navy, most recently on USS Miami (SSN-755), a Los Angeles-class attack submarine that was decommissioned earlier than planned after she was set on fire in 2014.

76867328 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady%20Willie%20Forbus | Lady Willie Forbus | Lady Willie Forbus (August 24, 1892 – April 27, 1993) was an American politician in the state of Washington. A Democrat, she was a member of the Washington State Senate for the 44th district from 1943 to 1947.
Early life and education
Forbus was born on August 24, 1892, in Zieglerville, Mississippi. Her name came from her father's name, William, with, as was customary for daughters named after their fathers, the addition of "Lady". Her father was the manager of several cotton plantations and her mother, Birdie, worked as a music teacher and raised cattle and sold eggs, butter and lard with her six children. As the second eldest, Forbus and her older brother Sample were sent to a larger town, Laurel, for their education when Forbus was fourteen as their mother was determined that they receive a good education. 150 miles away from their hometown, Forbus ran the household on the $25 monthly check sent by their parents, even after their four younger siblings joined them in the two-room house.
Forbus's brothers graduated high school with scholarships to university but the same aid was not available to female students, so Forbus attended the University of Mississippi by working as a stenographer for a local judge. When she had an ear infection her junior year, she was unable to be treated at the university infirmary as a female student and was rendered dead in her left ear. She received her bachelor's degree in 1915. Determined to go to law school, she applied to Columbia, Harvard and Yale but was rejected from each, as none were yet admitting female law students. Instead she attended the University of Michigan as the only female student in their class of 1918. After graduation, she was told by the law school dean, "Goodbye, Lady Willie, someday you'll make a good stenographer for some lawyer".
Legal career
Forbus believed her legal career would be best placed if she went west and, using her law school's directory, she sent letters to lawyers in Cheyenne, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle asking for a job. Based on a response from a Seattle-based criminal lawyer, Walter Fulton, Forbus moved to Washington in 1918. She was prohibited by state law from practicing in the state prior to spending a year as a law clerk, as she had not graduated from the University of Washington. She opened her own legal practice the following year. Female lawyers were a rarity in Seattle but Forbus would later state that she was treated well and the state was "freer, more open-minded".
In 1922, Forbus began to receive public attention due to her handling of the murder of the police officer Charles O. Legate. He was found dead in his car in his garage on March 17 and the gunshot wound to his head led the coroner's jury to rule the death a suicide. His wife retained Forbus as her lawyer, since a death by suicide would mean she was not entitled to his police pension. Forbus brought the case before a grand jury and proved that the gunshots were inflicted by two different bullets and that the garage had been locked from outside. The grand jury overruled the coroner and declared the death a murder, which granted his widow access to the pension.
Forbus campaigned to become prosecuting attorney in 1922, unsuccessfully, but she began to make more speeches and become involved in politics. She testified on behalf of a child labor amendment being debated by the Washington State Legislature and supported an illegitimacy law, retirement benefits for educators and a state department of education. As lawyers could not advertise their practices at the time, these activities raised her profile in the community. In 1932 and 1934, Forbus ran twice to be elected to the King County Superior Court. She ran on a platform "that all laws should be construed liberally to meet the demands of the people who enact them and the purposes the law seeks to serve" and supported establishing one court to handle all family matters, including divorce, custody, adoption and paternity. Although she received the backing of women's groups, Forbus was determined to campaign on the basis of her legal career and humanity, not her gender; in one campaign speech, she said, "the highest qualifications of a judge are human kindliness and common sense in administration of justice. A woman, by nature and a mother, by experience and human contact, is especially fitted for the judiciary; for she brings to the bench not only legal knowledge but human understanding". She was considered a controversial candidate at the time and lost both elections, although the was the first female candidate in King County.
Despite her defeats for public office, Forbus continued to advocate for social programs and she became well known in Seattle and surrounding towns. She joined the Democratic Party and began working with the Women's Legislative Council to promote passage of the Twentieth Amendment and the Child Labor Amendment. Forbus participated in the 1936 Roosevelt Caravan, giving stump speeches at 40 towns in three weeks to speak in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She was chair of the Democratic National Committee's State Speakers' Bureau. By the end of the decade, she was approached by the King County Democratic Central Committee to run for the Washington State Senate. Although her primary interest was in becoming a judge, she agreed to run.
Political career
Forbus was elected to the state senate in the 1942 general election, as senator for the 44th district. While she was in session in Olympia, her daughters travelled with her and worked as a page and in the secretarial pool. Concurrently with her senate service, Forbus was an assistant attorney general for the Washington Department of Labor and Industries in 1943 and the Washington Fisheries Department from 1944 to 1946. The 1943 legislative session began with the allocation of committee assignments. The first and second set of assignments were rejected but the third list passed on a unanimous vote. Forbus was appointed chair of the cities of the first class committee. She became chair of the judiciary committee and a member of the appropriations committee. She sponsored bills on family issues, civil actions, health care, and housing.
After being re-elected to the legislature for her second term, Forbus received the support of a liberal group in Ballard, a neighborhood of Seattle, for supporting equal pay. Her connection to this organization led to her being publicly labelled as a communist and she lost her re-election campaign in 1948.
Personal life
Forbus married Alvaro Shoemaker, a journalist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in 1921. Forbus retained her maiden name and the couple's two daughters, Alvara and Dale, were given hyphenated surnames, which was unusual for the time. The couple divorced in 1936 but remained close friends.
Later life and death
After leaving the legislature, Forbus continued practicing as a lawyer. She remained active in the Democratic Party and in community activities. She was the party's precinct chair in the 36th legislative district, the first female president of the Magnolia Community Club, and president of the Ballard Business and Professional Women's Club and the Florence Crittenden Home for Unmarried Mothers. She was a board member of the Washington chapter of the American Lawyers Against First Strike Nuclear Arms and the American Civil Liberties Union in the 1980s. Forbus gave speeches on topics including "Educational Development in Colonial America", "Garden Planning" and "An International Bill of Rights." She travelled internationally, including to South America, Mongolia, China, and the Soviet Union.
In 1984, Forbus retired from legal practice. She died on April 27, 1993, in Seattle at the age of 100.

76867832 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%20B.%20Elliott | James B. Elliott | James B. Elliott (1849–1931) was an American freethinker. Through his involvement with a number of freethinking organizations and publications, he met the anarchist Voltairine de Cleyre, with whom he had a brief romantic relationship and fathered a child, Harry. He spent the 1890s raising his son, working as a carpenter and collecting memorabilia of his idol Thomas Paine. By the turn of the 20th century, he succombed to a mental disorder and became estranged from his family, leaving his son and losing contact with de Cleyre.
Biography
James B. Elliott was born in 1849, in Philadelphia, where he was raised by his mother. He found work as a carpenter and later became a freethinker, giving lectures on rationalism at the Philadelphia Ethical Society and Friendship Liberal League, and writing articles for The Truth Seeker. Through one freethought newspaper, The Progressive Age, Elliott encountered the writings of Voltairine de Cleyre, noting her expressive anger towards the Catholic Church.
In June 1888, he greeted de Cleyre at the Philadelphia train station, having invited her to give a speech at a meeting of the Friendship Liberal League. The following year, she settled in the city and moved into Elliott's rooming house. The two were quickly attracted to each other, although historian Margaret Marsh notes that Elliott was "intellectually inferior" to de Cleyre and had an "eccentric" character, which left her to wonder why de Cleyre found him so appealing. They struck up a brief romantic relationship, but as de Cleyre refused to marry Elliott, it quickly broke down and ended. They remained friends and continued to live in the same house, with Elliott caring for de Cleyre's plants and pets while she was on lecture tours.
On June 12, 1890, de Cleyre gave birth to their son Harry, but she felt emotionally and physically unable to raise him, so left him in Elliott's care. De Cleyre's sister Adelaide D. Thayer, herself childless, asked if she could take care of Harry, but Elliott refused. In 1894, de Cleyre moved out of the Elliott household, finding a new home with the couple Mary and George Brown. In 1896, Elliott visited de Cleyre's mother Harriet De Claire and built an extension for her house in St. Johns, Michigan. Around this time, Elliott was made secretary of both the Paine Memorial Association and the Paine Historical Association. Elliott idolised Thomas Paine, going on a pilgrimage to all of Paine's homes in both North America and England and collecting his memorabilia.
By the turn of the 20th century, Elliott had become increasingly mentally imbalanced and left his son at the age of ten to fend for himself. In 1900, he managed to find de Cleyre's estranged father Hector De Claire, and together they sent Harriet a number of messages that worried her. For this, de Cleyre called Elliott a "devil" and said he was "not right in his intellects", telling her sister Adelaide that he had "no self-respect whatever, but insists on intruding himself constantly everywhere."
In 1910, de Cleyre moved to Chicago and Elliott fell out of touch with her. After her death, her anarchist comrades claimed that Elliott had deliberately prevented de Cleyre from seeing their child, but Margaret Marsh notes that this depiction is inaccurate. Elliott himself died in 1931, at the age of 82. Elliott was posthumously denounced in anarchist newspapers for neglecting his son Harry and preventing de Cleyre from seeing her child; according to historian Margaret Marsh, this depiction was "not strictly true, but it preserved an unsullied image" of de Cleyre.
