American Civil War
The American Civil War (commonly known as the "Civil War" in the United States) was fought in the United States from 1861 to 1865.
 The result of a long-standing controversy over slavery, war broke out in April 1861, when Confederates attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated.
 The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U.S. Constitution.
 They faced secessionists of the Confederate States of America, who advocated for states’ rights to perpetual slavery and its expansion in the Americas.
Jasmine Nights
A twelve-year-old boy, known as Little Frog to his family and Justin to his few friends, is left in the care of three strange aristocratic aunts and a rather frightening uncle until he is old enough to attend Eton school in England.
 In order to prepare himself for his intended future, he insists on speaking only English and will eat only bacon and eggs for breakfast, though he is prepared to accept Thai dishes at other meals.
 In this peculiar situation the boy finds himself between three worlds, the Thai world of his family and his regal ancestors and their apparently pointless rituals, the western world of logic and common sense which he finds more compatible with his temperament and the imaginary world of his sheltered childhood.

Aunt Em is a fictional character from the Oz books.
 She is the aunt of Dorothy Gale and wife of Uncle Henry, and lives together with them on a farm in Kansas.
 In "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", she is described as having been a "young, pretty wife" when she arrived at Uncle Henry's farm, but having been "grayed" by her life there, implying that she appears older than one might expect from her chronological age.
 Baum tells us that when Dorothy first came to live with her, Em would "scream and press her hand upon her heart" when startled by Dorothy's laughter, and she appears emotionally distant to her at the beginning of the story.
 However, after Dorothy is restored to her at the end of the book, we see her true nature: she cries out, "My darling child!"
 and covers her with kisses. Jan (Persian name)
Jan (Persian: جان‎ ‎ ) or Jaan (pronounced like John) is a Persian word originally meaning 'life' and 'soul', also used as a name with extended meanings 'beloved one' or 'dear'.
 In Farsi, it's often added to the end of a given name as a means of conveying affection, for example Ahmad Jan (dear Ahmad).
 It is also added to the end of the words for aunt or uncle, for example "Amoo jan" (Dear uncle).
 It is also often used as part of the names referring to grandmothers or grandfathers, such as Khanoom jan and Agha jan (Dear lady and Dear sir), as the first names of grandparents are never used as a sign of respect.
 Whenever "Jan" is used in Farsi, it implies a certain degree of closeness, familiarity, and affection.
 However, "Jan" is never added to the end of a surname (family name).
 Sometimes, "jan" is also used as a sign or exasperation, in the same way as "My dear lady" or "My dear sir" can be used in English. Jane McKechnie Walton
Jane McKechnie Walton was born on July 16, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
 She was the daughter of Jane (Jean Tinto) Bee and John McKechnie.
 Her father was a bell molder by trade and died of typhoid on January 3, 1848 when Jane was just eighteen months old.
 Her grieving mother gave birth to the McKechnie's only son a few months later.
 Within another year, Jane's mother was taught about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) by two Mormon missionaries.
 She believed their words and was baptized into the LDS Church on February 21, 1850.
 Several months later, Jane's grandmother, uncle and aunt followed her mother, Jean's footsteps and also joined the newfound religion.
 By September 1850, Jane's mother, grandmother, uncle, aunt and her own brother and sister were booked for ocean travel on The North Atlantic ship which was bound for New Orleans in America. Nad Niemnem (film)
Nad Niemnem is a Polish historical film that follows the aftermath of the January Uprising.
 It is about the lives of the families that lived on twenty years later.
 Showing how the return to the classed society divided those families who once had fought as brothers.
 This return to the old classed society resulted in a sense of betrayal on one side and guilty indignation on the other.
 This until the niece of an estate owner befriends a neighboring family.
 The neighbors who had lost their noble status still maintained a large tract of land which they farmed successfully themselves.

 The brother in law wants to spend the money on a big dowry and grand piano for his daughter.
 The niece understands the financial position.

 A victory postponed and finally won,"Nad Niemnem" . Andrew Todd (fur trader)
Andrew Todd (c. 1754–1796) was an Ulster merchant and fur trader at Montréal and Louisiana.
 Born into a wealthy family at Coleraine, County Londonderry, he was the son of Daniel Todd (1735-1783) of Randalstown, Co.
 Antrim, and his wife Letitia Thornton, sister of Lt.-General Sir William Thornton.
 He came to North America to work in the trading firm of his uncle, Isaac Todd, who was the business partner of James McGill at Montreal.
 He became a junior partner of the firm and in 1791 was admitted as a member of the Beaver Club.
 In 1794, the Spanish Governor, Francisco Luis Héctor de Carondelet, granted him an exclusive monopoly over all the trade in Louisiana; highly sought after particularly by Canadians as it was then still separate to the United States.
 This gave him the exclusive right to the valuable trade on the Upper Mississippi River, the Missouri River and the area north of Ohio.
 He jealously defended his position and soon became known in the region as ""Don Andreas"", successfully sending vast stores of goods up from New Orleans while bringing back furs.
 His uncle's firm back in Montreal, "Todd, McGill & Co.," had found itself in a position to then monopolize the supply of the entire Mississippi Valley, but the declaration of war between Spain and Britain in October 1796, followed by Andrew’s death at New Orleans later that year, dashed their expectations.
 At his decease, Andrew Todd was unmarried and left no children.
 By his will, he released his slave, Jack, and left his entire estate to his uncle, Isaac, except for $500 that he left to James McGill, the other executor of his will. THE IBCT
The IBCT is an independent record label owned by Kris J. Kraus, based in Southern California and started in 2009 by Walter Adam "Dirty Walt" Kibby, II, of Fishbone, and Roderick Byron "Rodcore" Palmer of the band Year Of The Dragon along with their then manager, Kraus, an attorney, who previously was the road manager for The Incredible Lance Diamond and manager of Rick James's Original Stone City Band, among others.
 The label released the first full-length by YOTD, Blunt Force Karma (Produced by Darryl Swann with Kraus and Kibby as Executive Producers), and the sophomore release by Dirty Walt And The Columbus Sanatation (produced by Kibby with Kraus as Executive Producer).
 Subsequently, the label reissued the debut of Seattle's experimental jazz quartet Uncle Pooch, Conduct Unbecoming.
 The label showcased at South By Southwest in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
 Kibby and Palmer left the label in 2010 after YOTD's tour in support of Blunt Force Karma (to date BFK is YOTD's only full-length release and most likely will remain so as Palmer left the band in 2015), leaving Kraus as the sole owner and operator.
 Kraus then commissioned Uncle Pooch's bassist Shane Smith as the label's Musical Director.
 With Smith providing all musical content and Kraus providing lyrics, artwork, and production the two of the have teamed up to guide the label through its second phase focusing exclusively on underground and uncompromising artists who defy categorization.
 Two more releases by Uncle Pooch, Oneiroprenia (with production by Scott Colburn, Darryl Swann, and Kraus and graphic design by Mike Sparrow) and Sonarchy (produced by Smith and Kraus graphic design by Sparrow) in 2012.
 After a hiatus while Kraus pursued a career as a law professor and Smith worked on demos with various artists the label returned with Smith and Los Angeles underground icon Blackbird contributing a song to the Black Rock Coalition's 25 Year Anniversary Compilation in 2016 at Kraus' urging.
 Smith's band Shane Smith's Karmic Unrest released their debut – "The Ambivalence Of The Scared" (produced by R. L. Heyer and Kraus and mastered by Peter A. Barker) – in 2017.
 Uncle Pooch's final album, "The Comfort Of Violence", and two releases by Headlock are scheduled for release in late 2017.
 The label plans on re-issuing the debut EP by unsung pioneering black rockers Sky Church originally released in 1993 by Kraus and guitarist Mytch Meadows and remastered by Barker in 2018 for the releases 25th anniversary.
